Chapter 18 NO.0012: This Faces the Enemy and Nonsense

Jiang Zhou briefly summarized his current situation:

It's all over.

He froze in place, not even daring to turn his head, he opened his mouth slightly and cursed silently.

Just as I was about to ask the middleman about something, the rightful owner of this matter had already arrived.

When did this person arrive?

Is this man FMD Cao Cao? Talk about it?

Also, did he just hear me ask "Is the traitor Booker"?

Nonsense, I must have heard it.

Jiang Zhou felt that his expression was about to shrink into a ball with embarrassment.

After getting a little over the top just now, his questioning voice could be heard even outside the porch, and Booker is not deaf.

Now how to do? Would it be better to strike first, turn around and shoot the opponent in the face?

As soon as this thought came to him, Jiang Zhou was almost amused by his stupid idea.

Taking advantage of an adjuster with a depth of 3 "not paying attention", turn around and kill him with a single shot. This is probably a hundred times more outrageous than "I killed the tiger with a sliding shovel".

But besides fighting like this, what else can I do? Is it possible to wave the white flag of surrender?

Just as Jiang Zhou was frantically thinking about any other ways to get out of the current predicament, Booker had already passed him like a ghost, and walked to Zhu Lin who was still standing in front of him.

Although I don't know what the attack that just detonated the man's head was, it is obvious that the thing did not involve kinetic energy killing-it looked as if someone had stuffed explosives in his brain in advance, and the unlucky middleman still maintained The previous standing posture, and the position above the chin of the head, are all completely "bloomed" like a flower.

"Fortunately, I came in time."

Walking in front of Zhu Lin, he lifted the other's hanging hand, and Booker turned to look at Liao Qi and said calmly.

Hiss... Is this person planning to pack it up as evidence and destroy it together with himself?

Hearing the other party speak, Jiang Zhou only felt a burst of despair.

Just when Jiang Zhou was about to yell at the other party for betraying Icarus, he was a despicable traitor, and let himself die with some dignity, but Booker's next words stunned him.

"Otherwise you would have died here just now."

"ha?"

What do you mean by that?

Booker's next action explained what he just said - he pointed Zhu Lin's hanging palm at the wall beside him, and then he didn't know what to press, and the palm opened like a beetle , made a sound like a dying sigh.

Countless steel needles shot out from the nozzle hidden under the palm, and were deeply nailed to the opposite wall.

When Jiang Zhou turned around in a blink of an eye, the wall seemed to be moldy, covered with countless tiny steel "fluff".

Resisting the urge to be rude, a drop of cold sweat dripped from Jiang Zhou's forehead.

"This is facing the enemy."

Booker held the opponent's anti-personnel booby trap that had taken off his disguise, waved to Liao Qi as if to say hello, and then said:

"Remember, the next time you want to interrogate someone, you must first make sure that all the prosthetic bodies on the other person are offline, otherwise ten lives will not be enough for you to die."

Immediately, his gaze naturally turned to the brain hole on Liao Qi's forehead.

"But it looks like you do have two lives, right?"

After speaking, he sent Zhu Lin's hand away, and let the opponent's unbalanced corpse fall to the ground. Then he walked to the computer calmly and pulled out the silver memory.

He tossed the toy up and down for a while, weighed it, and threw it to Liao Qi.

Jiang Zhou subconsciously took it.

"Glad to see you're still alive, Liao Qi."

Booker said.

"Why did you give this to me..."

Jiang Zhou held the memory that carried the universal printer's restart authority, and looked at Booker with some confusion.

He thought he was dead.

But right now, not only does the other party seem not to intend to kill him, but he even directly returned that precious memory to him.

What is this person trying to do?

"Before the leader of Corrett died, he gave this thing to you to keep it safe, right?"

Booker asked.

"Ah...um."

Jiang Zhou nodded.

"Then his order cannot be revoked until the general meeting is reconvened within the organization and a new leader is elected through a formal process. You are still the holder of Icarus' activation authority. Don't give it to anyone ,including me."

Booker said and put his hand on the computer in the room, and the next second, the whole computer exploded with sparks flying.

Not only the computer, but electronic devices in the entire room with structures more complex than light bulbs exploded one by one, and all the metal wires were also burned brightly, igniting the fabric and plastic around them.

Is this the so-called adjuster of depth 3?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Zhou couldn't help swallowing.

Fortunately, when I just traveled to this era, I didn't see such a scene. Otherwise, he would definitely think that he has come to a world where spiritual energy has been revived—maybe he is still waiting for the system to go online.

After burning the entire room back to nearly nineteenth-century technology, Booker withdrew his hand and strode out of the room. At the door, he paused slightly and said:

"Although all the records of our visit have been destroyed, no matter how useless the law enforcement agencies on the lower floor are, they should arrive in a few minutes. If we don't leave, we will be in trouble."

After speaking, he walked out without looking back.

Jiang Zhou couldn't think of any other options besides following him.

…………

Booker and Jiang Zhou swaggered out of the apartment building, almost passing by the law enforcement team who heard the news.

At the intersection, Booker hailed a driverless taxi without haste, and then he told the AI ​​voice of a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a Chinese-character face that they were going to elevator No. 4.

"Let's take the next elevator to the second floor of the resettlement area."

After the taxi started, Booker turned to Liao Qi and said.

Then, he explained:

"The basement floor of the resettlement area is full of government and company eyeliners. It won't take long for them to figure out the real reason for Zhu Lin's death."

"How did you know I was here?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Zhou asked the doubts that had been lingering in his heart.

"You have to thank Deep Blue, the owner of the Dark Blue Zone bar, for not taking off the Icarus identification mark on your body, and Dark Blue Zone is a long-term partner of the organization... She mistook you for the person I sent to scout .”

Booker said and lit himself a cigarette.

Unexpectedly, there are still traditional cigarettes in this era.

Two puffs of smoke came out of his nose, and Booker continued:

"Later, she checked the car you were riding in and told me. When I checked the vehicle information, I found dozens of tickets issued by the Traffic Management Bureau... By the way, when did you drive so well? ? Of all the people I know, few would dare to drive in 'die with no regrets' mode."

About half an hour ago...

Jiang Zhou thought, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Liao Qi didn't make a sound, Booker flicked the cigarette ash and let out a long sigh. As if he could finally ignore the "elephant in the room" any longer, he took the initiative to talk about the most sensitive topic.

"I know what you are doubting, and it's not that I can't understand the reason for your suspicion. Indeed, the organization was ambushed by the company in the warehouse of Theseus before, and I also think that there are ghosts in the organization who leaked information... But that person will definitely not be me."

Booker said very sincerely.

If you say no, then no?

Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes in his heart, but still didn't say anything.

Although the other party didn't kill him before, and even returned the memory to himself. But this is all based on the premise that as long as the other party wants to, he can take that memory away from him at any time.

A native with no implants, and an adjusted human at depth 3. To be honest, the two were sitting in the same car, and the effect of handing over that memory to Jiang Zhou could only reassure him at best.

Also, Jiang Zhou felt that it was difficult to say whether the purpose of killing Zhu Lin directly was to silence the other party or to save himself.

Even though Liao Qi had a low status before, as the person who entrusted the memory as the leader of the Kreit team, and as the possible only survivor of the Battle of Theseus Warehouse, he will inevitably have a certain say in the subsequent reorganization of the organization.

In this way, Booker, as the person who is most likely to be formally elected as the leader of the organization in the future, if he can completely gain his trust and have him as an endorsement, it can be said that the election is a sure thing. At that time, the authority to use the universal printer will still fall into his hands, and it will be justified.

Of course, there is indeed a great possibility that Booker Irwin is completely innocent as he said.

After all, in the current situation of Icarus, it is not difficult to seize the right to use it through violent means and start a new one to establish its own power.

At this time, Booker suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Forget it, let me tell you something. According to the information I got here, the real traitor in the organization may have left the Nord resettlement area to spend the rest of his life in a garden city while pretending to be captured... ...you suspect me because I know where your safe house is, right?"

Jiang Zhou nodded.

Booker continued:

"But I'm not the only one who knows the location of your safe house. And you don't doubt the others, it's just because they were either 'dead in battle' or 'captured', right? But how do you know, those people are Did they really die in battle or be captured? Maybe the execution of them was a deliberate blow to the outside world by the company, and the traitor himself had already gone to escape.

"Apart from me, who else knows the location of your safe house? Black Falcon-136? Qianxia Sakura? Maybe one of them, or maybe the two of them are in an ecological park for vacation now."

Jiang Zhou looked at him silently, and nodded for a long time.

"It is indeed possible."
