Lin An fell into deep thought.

In short, regarding the [Thunderbird] issue, the voting results at the headquarters have been unable to satisfy the inspection team.

Since voting has been held twice in a row, the president believes that there is no need to hold a third vote, so he has been delaying the proposal of the inspection team.

Losing his patience, Hill decided to let Thunderbird cause chaos and force a sense of crisis in headquarters, thereby getting a third chance to vote and prevent it from entering the facility as originally planned.

For the Thunderbird, the creation god, the research department cannot get accurate data. Everything about it is a mystery. Even in the eyes of Lin An, who is also a Class B source, it is like a dark cloud, and most of the time it is unknown. It's synonymous with danger.

The headquarters' decision was based on the premise that the Thunderbird's pollution level had soared and turned into a motionless wooden sculpture. They determined that it posed no threat.

However, once the Thunderbird regains consciousness and mobility, the Dawn Association will immediately "take advantage of its illness and kill it" without the intervention of the inspection team.

The two organizations are constantly fighting within themselves, but when they encounter a common enemy, they will still join forces without hesitation to eradicate the local god forces.

This attitude can be seen in the orders of the two.

Whether it is the Dawn Association or the inspection team, when talking about "Thunderbird", they never treat it as a person. It is either a key prop, research data, or a mysterious item, and they never mention how to treat or "release" it. Thunderbird.

In their eyes, Thunderbird was already a corpse.

As long as the outside world has the illusion that Thunderbird can escape or make a comeback, they will never keep it, and the purpose of the inspection team will be achieved.

The price was...the lives of innocent people in Las Medos City.

As if hearing what Lin An was thinking, Hill chuckled.

"Maybe we're not as eloquent as the Dawn Society, but we do believe in the principle of 'humanity above all else.' It's more like the trolley problem, sacrificing a small number of people to save the rest. From a statistical point of view, we are An organization that truly has humanity in mind.”

Lin An's mouth twitched.

When plunder becomes the daily routine of this group of people, as time goes by, they will naturally create for themselves a legal system that authorizes plunder, and a moral code that beautifies plunder.

"I'll take your word for it, Deacon Keshely, if you answer just one question."

Hill pointed to the black card interface and motioned for him to touch the screen to communicate.

It seems that Hill can't guess what I'm thinking. As the "presiding judge", her mysterious skills are all dead rules, as long as she doesn't disobey them. Lin An thought to himself.

"What are you going to do with me after the mission is over?"

Hill shook the goblet and looked at Lin An with charming eyes.

"We will evaluate your ability and loyalty based on your performance after the mission. If everything goes well, it won't be long before we can enjoy the fruits of victory together."

Another round piece of cake.

I believe you.

Hill didn't give Lin An a chance to reply, and left the bar drunkenly with the goblet.

"The remaining half of the bottle will be given to you and your friends."

Looking at the blond woman's retreating back, Lin An's thoughts surged; Hill had three major reasons for choosing him.

First of all, among the four members of the transport team, Barry defected to the inspection team, Simon was a mystic at the same level as Hill, her methods were difficult to work, and Mi Xi was a woman, leaving Lin An with only one choice.

Secondly, the detour to Las Medos City was the route planned by the Dawn Association. Once Hill succeeded in creating panic, she could attribute the responsibility to the Dawn Association's wrong instructions and use the opportunity to smear the other party's reputation.

Finally, Lin An, as a transport team sandwiched between the three parties, is actually a "non-party" and transparent person. Even if he is exposed, the inspection team can stand alone and claim that he was not involved in the incident, saving his reputation among the cabinet.

As for joining the inspection team afterwards...

Lin An was more inclined to believe that they had already decided to silence him and keep his mouth shut forever.

The inspection team is not a fool, how could they let a handle and survival become a lingering stain on them.

After drinking for an unknown amount of time, Barry's figure appeared and said to Lin An, "It's time for us to return to the room."

Lin An rolled his eyes.

Brother, you have tricked me so badly!

From the moment I left the room, I stepped into the routine of the inspection team.

Touching the energy wrapped around his neck and wrists, Lin An sighed softly. Without the help of the system, he decided to temporarily obey the orders of the inspection team.

The man in black followed Lin An and Barry step by step until they walked back to their respective rooms. Lin An glanced at the surveillance probe that rotated with his actions and fell on the bed.

MGM Grand Hotel's informants are everywhere, but it doesn't help to get out of the predicament. Since they can let the inspection team come in and out, the attitude of being a wallflower is obvious.

Does Dawn Association know about MGM Grand’s defection?

After thinking for a moment, Lin An sat up and activated the new device with his thumb chip.

"White Pigeon" is a completely different communication network from the original one. After reading X's introduction, Lin An roughly understood it.

His chip codename starts with T, which means "temporary", so there are only two options on the main interface, one is to communicate, and the other is to exit.

Clicking on the address book, he saw the portraits of two contacts.

One of them was Deacon Hill Kesheli whom he had contacted before, and the other was someone Lin An had never seen before.

Her profile picture is a picture of a spinning wheel, codenamed "C-0420".

Clicking on the introduction sent by Hill, this temporary personnel was Lin An's "companion" for the mission tomorrow. Hill said that she would contact Lin An proactively before starting.

C stands for cooperative.

Not only was the woman with the spinning wheel head not a member of the Inspectorate, she was not even affiliated with the St. Annilov Foundation.

Looking at the special style of the spinning wheel, Lin An was thoughtful.

"Request permission to communicate with 'C-0420'." He said to X tentatively.

"The request has been received and the information is being checked... Confirm that you have the authority. Do you want to dial the terminal of 'C-0420' now?"

"Dial."

"Unfortunately, the other party has not enabled 'White Pigeon' yet. Please try again later."

Lin An had no other authority except communication and could only wait.

While turning on the computer, he dialed the phone number of his collaborator from time to time. About an hour later, X's tireless prompts suddenly changed.

"The terminal has been connected to 'C-0420' and is being transferred to you."

After a while, Lin An spoke in a female voice with unclear words.

"We're not supposed to communicate outside of mission times, that's all. See you on time tomorrow."

"Wait a minute!"

Lin An lay down and put the communication device close to the computer speaker, and the professor's slow lecture came through.

"I have some questions about tomorrow's mission."

"..."

The voice on the other side was silent for a long time, and Lin An almost thought she had hung up.

It wasn't until half a minute later that a reply finally came.

"For example?" After a pause, she added, "I can only disclose information that is within my responsibilities."

"I don't know the specific mission schedule yet."

After a long time, the other person said complexly and gently: "Then let me tell you the arrangements S-03 gave me, so that it is not easy to make mistakes during the operation."

S-03 is Hill, which means management supervisor.

"After we meet up, we will enter the security room on the basement floor from this elevator..."

The female voice spoke slowly and in detail about tomorrow's itinerary. As Lin An listened, he daubed the map on the PS and rotated the surveillance probe to enlarge every pixel.

On the PS drawing board, the scrawled lines are blurred and abstract, and there are all kinds of messy lines, circles and squares painted on it. There are even many places and equipment that the person on the other end said is wrong.

The surveillance camera was still filming, but it no longer made a threatening "buzzing" sound.

These images are just geometric shapes to assist Lin An's memory. The real map has already been engraved in his mind.

When the trip came to an end, the professor at the other end of the online class also ended his lecture. The students left the classroom one after another. Lin An pressed the volume button to make his voice louder.

"Lin, turn off your mute." The professor stacked up the lecture notes and said in a helpless tone, "You started absentmindedly making calls on the phone ten minutes before the end of get out of class. Do you think I won't notice?"

"Professor, I'm working." Lin An said seriously.

"You are still a student, and your work is not as important as your studies! Come back quickly and don't stay out all the time, especially at the MGM Grand Hotel! You have been taking online classes here for two full days. The consumption there is very high. I hope you don't want to do it for Show off and join the gaming table.”

The professor advised earnestly.

"Lin, your grades are pretty good. Graduation will not be a problem. Don't be like Evancia and be deceived by the outside world and give up your studies. What a pity."

There was no sound on the other end of the device. Lin An muttered a few perfunctory words to the professor and closed the zoom.us interface.

"Sorry, collaborator."

"Hmph, under such circumstances, do you still want to finish college?" The man's tone suddenly became sarcastic and fierce, and he said harshly, "What grade are you in this year? Isn't it your junior year?"

"It's amazing. I guessed it right right away." Lin An said, "I think no matter what the situation is, you should persevere and get a diploma first. Otherwise, all your previous efforts will be in vain."

"..."

There was another unspeakable silence, and the other person took a gentle breath.

"You already know the arrangement of the mission. I don't need to go into details tomorrow. We will meet at the agreed location at 21:30."

After speaking, she cut off the communication.

Lin An also used his thumb chip to log out "White Pigeon".

I'm afraid this person is my senior sister.

Our university is really full of talents. In addition to the city of Ditry, even Las Medos can hold a class reunion.

The professor said her name was Evancia Ive Samaras.

Unlike the local name of Eagle Country, the pronunciation is a bit Mediterranean, and considering that the professor claimed that she stole the [Evil Omen Gem] unearthed near the Aegean Sea from the university's collection...

Lin An shut down the computer, and the clean screen reflected the young man's expressionless face.

Evancia…

Tomorrow I may meet the first mystic from Greek civilization.
