Chapter 8 Abandoned Sea


"Rumours stop with the wise.
This is an ideal state. The reality is often that rumors stop with more rumors, and even the truth stops with more rumors." The third uncle shook the two fingers gently, not knowing which one represented the ideal , which one represents reality, "Spy needs to distill information, and at the same time need to disrupt information, we will face a big garbage dump, while throwing a hundred or a thousand invalid information into it, while eager to find it from inside To produce gold that was accidentally abandoned by others. This is a job that can easily break people. You have to be prepared, have patience, be not afraid of hardships and not afraid of dirty hearts, and have a cold heart.

Lu Linbei just came out of the "big garbage dump", he prefers to call it "abandoned sea", too many unfounded guesses, too much intentional falsification, effective information is often flooded randomly, and is finally salvaged, but not necessarily true. usefulness.

The sudden knock on the door outside shocked Lu Yezhou and pulled Lu Linbei back to reality from the edge of the "abandoned sea".

The two immediately took their places, still like last night, guarding both sides of the door frame. Lu Yezhou had already picked up the knife and nodded to Lu Linbei.

"Which one?" Lu Linbei asked.

The knock on the door rang twice before someone replied, "Old Qian."

It was Mei Qianzhong's voice, and the two in the room did not relax their vigilance. Lu Linbei asked again, "Are you alone?"

"Yes."

Lu Linbei gently unlocked the door, opened the door a crack, and confirmed that there was indeed only Mei Qianzhong outside, and then opened it again and let the guests in.

Lu Yezhou kept holding the knife and stood against the wall, even after the door was closed, he still maintained this posture.

Mei Qianzhong looked around and turned to look at Lu Yezhou who was holding the knife. He didn't show any surprise or anger, "Well, I already know, I'm here for this."

When he said this, Lu Yezhou's aura lowered instead, lowered his hand, and threw the knife on the chair, "I'm worried that someone will follow you."

Mei Qianzhong smiled, "It's possible, but don't worry, all those who follow me are making huge mistakes."

"I believe." Lu Yezhou also smiled and looked at Lu Linbei, "We haven't slept all night, we're looking for clues, and Lao Bei is a little worried."

"Sit down." Mei Qianzhong said casually, not interested in "brows", pulled the chair to the middle of the living room, sat down facing the sofa, and put the kitchen knife on the floor beside his feet.

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou sat on opposite ends of the sofa, each with their own thoughts.

"Let me tell you first, I owe you an explanation." Mei Qianzhong's attitude was particularly gentle today, like a teacher facing a student with average grades but hard work.

"The purpose of arranging you here is to lead the snake out of its hole. Last night, it finally showed up."

"Which snake to lead?" Lu Yezhou asked.

Mei Qianzhong glanced at him, and Lu Yezhou immediately shut up.

"The assassin has been targeted, and we're going to use him to catch a big fish." Mei Qianzhong put his hands on his lap and smiled again, "I can only tell you this at the moment. You've done a great job, stick to it for a few more days. , you are very lucky, you can get credit for the first time you perform a mission, this is an opportunity that many investigators have not been able to get for many years."

"Lucky?" Lu Yezhou has always admired Mei Qianzhong, but it is related to his own life, so he must say a few words, "Last night, I almost died in the street, if it wasn't for Lao Bei... It's really only a little short, bullet Not in the wall, but on me. I don't mean anything else, at least give us a warning first."

"As a newcomer, the less you know, the better. I'll give you a warning, will you still go out for a walk?"

Lu Yezhou blushed a little, struggled inwardly for a moment, and decided to surrender, "You are right."

The person who asked the question was Lu Yezhou, but Mei Qianzhong looked at the silent Lu Linbei, "I did this to you, someone above me did this to me, and you will do the same to others in the future."

"Well, this is the rule, Ye Ye and I both understand." Lu Linbei admitted that the other party was right, and the teacher taught the same in the training class.

"This is why the Mei family trains their own spies. It's hard for outsiders to understand this. For them, you can only deceive them, and at the same time, you have to be on guard. And we, we are family and brothers." Mei Qianzhong even looked at Lu Yezhou. At a glance, "We are destined to be the core members of the organization, recruiting and managing peripheral spies together, and they will always be outsiders."

Lu Linbei hummed, and Lu Yezhou laughed twice, "I have followed you two since I was a child, and I will always be, especially Lao Qian, you have always been our leader, and always will be."

Mei Qianzhong got up, moved the chair slightly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry about other things, concentrate on raising the game character to the full level, and soon you will receive a new task. Also, you are now the 'dimensional extreme'. Entertainment Co., Ltd.'s probationary employees, the formalities have been completed, and the first weekly salary has been credited to your personal account."

"Thank you, Lao Qian, you are too considerate." Lu Yezhou stood up and wanted to shake hands to express his gratitude, but Mei Qianzhong did not respond, said goodbye and turned to leave.

Lu Yezhou watched his boss, then ran to the living room window, stared out, and after a while, said confidently: "Old Qian has changed to a new car, the car was still parked there before, I hope he can give it to us. "

Lu Yezhou's grievances were swept away, and he immediately checked his account with the internal chip.

Every resident on Zhai Wangxing has a bank account since birth, which is free of charge and will not change for life, and can apply for more accounts after adulthood.

"Three thousand points." Lu Yezhou curled his lips, "Such a weekly salary is not too high. It's almost 100 points for a set meal on the street, and 20 points for a drink. The consumption in the city is really frighteningly high. Yours Woolen cloth?"

"The same." Lu Linbei has also checked, "It must be the standard salary."

"It's just a cover anyway, and the organization won't treat us badly."

"You know that company?"

"Weiji Entertainment? I know it's a game boosting company. It's used in many games, and "Mother Star Territory" is no exception. Some big gangs are controlled by them behind the scenes. Players pay, and gangs fight. Attack the little lord."

"Why do players have to pay?"

"It's all about the grievances in the game. After a few days of playing, you'll understand." Lu Yezhou's mood improved greatly. He hesitated for a while between taking a nap and opening the game. He decided to be a model employee, so he sat down on the sofa. , put on the display glasses, and quickly took them off again, "The matter of the planet's heirs and the orphans must be made up by the organization to lure snakes out of their holes, and it has nothing to do with you and me. I don't need to mention it, we don't need to mention it in the future. ,right?"

"right."

"Aren't you coming in to level up? Your role is still far behind."

Lu Linbei put on his glasses. He hadn't come out of the mighty "abandoned sea". He felt that there was still a lot to do, and he was not interested in this ancient game at all.

Shortly after entering the game, a selection box appeared on the screen, and Lu Yezhou said, "Agree, let's change guilds."

"Ok?"

"I just received an invitation from another gang, and the message has the word Weiji. This is the organization looking for us."

Lu Linbei chose to agree, and then found the mailbox. Sure enough, he saw the invitation in a dozen letters. The "gang" in Lu Yezhou's mouth was a common name. .

Lu Linbei assigned jobs to farmers, and then handed over all the soldiers to Lu Yezhou's role as mercenaries. Although the upgrade was slow, it was worry-free.

"If you play like this, you don't have much tactical value in the end." Lu Yezhou reminded, but he was willing to accept these fighters because it would help him level up.

While supervising the game screen, Lu Linbei gave necessary instructions, and at the same time opened another page and continued to browse the network information.

I don't know if it was because of an interruption, or because of the comfort brought by Mei Qianzhong, or because of sheer fatigue, Lu Linbei found that his attention was not as concentrated as before, and the information flashed one by one, and it was only after a long time that he realized that he did not have a single one. Look, even the title is skipped.

"You're in charge of collecting information, I'm in charge of upgrading the game, and we'll work together." Lu Yezhou was having a good time, no longer worried about assassins coming.

Lu Linbei reorganized his spirit and continued to go deep into the "waste sea" to obtain information.

Regarding the death of Barber, most of the speculation points to the Star Alliance or an extremist group.

The Star Alliance is the abbreviation of the Human Planetary Alliance.

As for extremist organizations, there are so many and so many opinions that it is difficult to define them. Lu Linbei selected ten organizations and repeatedly screened them. In the end, there were five remaining. However, he did not have any means or channels for investigation. He could only be like the conspirators on the Internet. Guess what.

Sadly, Lu Linbei found that the browsing and summarizing that he had exhausted might not be worth the simple one-sentence explanation in the end.

"The last hour." He secretly set a deadline in his mind, at most one hour. If there is no more income, he will lie down to make up for sleep, and after waking up, he will concentrate on playing games to upgrade the character.

Heirs of the planet, assassins, extremist organizations, Mei Qianzhong... Many things were intertwined. Lu Linbei walked deeper and deeper in the dead end. When there were ten minutes left, he suddenly changed his mind and changed the search keyword to "mother". Star Territory".

Instead of searching for assassins aimlessly, it is better to try to figure out the "sentence" that Ma Senju should have said but did not say.

Lu Linbei was quickly attracted by an article titled "Mother Star Memorabilia". He was still reading it beyond the previously limited time, and then he found that this memorabilia was actually part of the game itself, and the Internet was just reprinting it.

So he entered the game, quickly found the "Memorabilia" option, and read it again.

This game is older than expected, at the latest in the 130th year of SGD, soon after the major planets restored the information network, this game appeared, and it has never been claimed by any company, it is like a virus. It has been circulated on the Internet that it once prospered to tens of millions of players, and sometimes declined to the point where almost no one cares. It has been officially banned several times, but it has never completely disappeared, and it can always quietly re-emerge.

For Lu Linbei, the history of the game is much more interesting than the game itself.

He was pushed awake by Lu Yezhou.

"We haven't eaten in a day. What do you see?"

"Not yet... Let's eat first." Only then did Lu Linbei realize that it was already evening outside.

"Go out to eat, I'll treat you this time." Lu Yezhou became more generous as soon as he received his salary.

The two packed up a little, and just as they were about to go out, there was another knock on the door outside.

Both of them were stunned, Lu Yezhou asked, "Which one? Who are you looking for?"

After waiting for about half a minute, an unfamiliar voice replied, "483."
