"Isn't it too arbitrary to just equate these things? I dare say that twelve hours ago, at least a hundred suspicious things happened around the world."
Liao Qi said with great suspicion.
Ah, yes, yes, that’s it!
All of this is a masterpiece of "Paradox", don't doubt it!
But in his heart, Jiang Zhou thought so.
Booker took a deep breath after hearing this, and then said:
"It can't be wrong. When you were unconscious, I got a piece of top-secret information from an informant. Twelve hours ago, Pluto Deep Submersible Company was attacked by an unknown entity suspected to come from the super abyss. The headquarters in Tal Talos's firewall has been severely damaged, and the things I mentioned before are actually just the aftermath of this incident."
Hearing what Booker said, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but recall what he saw when he crossed the Styx Firewall.
In the bottomless abyss, an unimaginably large object rose.
The giant creature's tentacles slapped the city wall, creating countless terrifying cracks...
"Even if this is the case, it doesn't prove that this matter has anything to do with us."
Jiang Zhou said in a deep voice.
"The intelligence I received shows that the being from the super abyss attacked Tartarus's α-level deep dive interface at depth 2."
Booker looked at Jiang Zhou and said:
"Remember? Where we were at that time happened to be Depth 2."
Having said this, Booker let out a long sigh:
"I know that this kind of thing is difficult to accept for a while, and it is normal for you not to believe it. Especially, the other party ignored your mandala at that time, taking things out and putting things in your consciousness at will... ...If the other party had any ill intentions at the time, you would have been doomed.
"However, in the end we have to face reality. We can no longer escape this problem, Liao Qi."
Booker said, looking directly into Jiang Zhou's eyes.
"If the other party is really that powerful..."
When Jiang Zhou spoke, he tried to sound as pessimistic as possible.
"Then the reality is that no matter how we resist, it's pointless, right?"
From Liao Qi's point of view, Pluto Deep Diving Company is a behemoth that cannot be shaken by them, with no hope of victory at all.
And the unknown entity that could have such an impact on Pluto's deep dive with just a few moves was eyeing them, and there seemed to be no other way besides lying down.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a chestnut hit him directly on the head.
"Didn't you always admire Black Falcon-136 in the past?"
Withdrawing his hand, Booker looked at him seriously and said:
"Don't you remember the words he often talks about?"
"Every resistance has meaning..."
Jiang Zhou, who guessed what the other party wanted to say, replied.
"Yes, never give up the fight before life is over. Even if the outcome is doomed, our choices can still give meaning to the process."
Then, after Booker said this with a righteous face, his expression became awkward again.
"MD, why would I say such nonsense..."
He seemed a little embarrassed.
In response, Jiang Zhou smiled and then joked:
"Imitating the speaking style of Team Leader Koret is really not suitable for you."
In Liao Qi's memory, Koret, the leader of Icarus in the past, always liked to motivate everyone like this.
If it were the original Liao Qi, he might have been deeply moved by these words - in fact, Jiang Zhou also felt a touch of excitement through Liao Qi's body.
However, Jiang Zhou has never done things this way.
He will try his best not to let his emotions affect his judgment and not let himself fall into meaningless emotions of loftiness and self-satisfaction.
If there is no possibility of success in something, he will choose to give up at the beginning.
But on the other hand, if he thinks something can be successful, he will risk everything for it, no matter how crazy it seems to others.
Just like in the Janus project, even though he knew that the radiation from the scanner would kill him, he was willing to be a guinea pig.
"all in all……"
Booker coughed slightly and brought the topic back:
"I will let the people in the intelligence team continue to pay attention to the impact of this matter, and try their best to investigate what the existence called 'paradox' is and what its purpose is. On the other hand, despite the 'paradox' There is no requirement to keep His existence secret, but just to be on the safe side, don’t tell anyone about it.”
Jiang Zhou nodded.
What he was thinking was - luckily you said that, otherwise he would have to remind himself of this.
In the following time, the two continued to discuss for a long time the "paradox" that pulled them into the abyss dark web of Depth 2, what was the motive, and how did the other party do it.
Of course, the two of them didn't discuss the reason.
After all, "Paradox" himself doesn't know what his motives are and how he did it.
Maybe I should ask the magical Janus, Jiang Zhou thought.
He could only suspect that the behemoth he saw in the Abyss Dark Web was something left by Janus, or simply Janus himself.
Listening to Booker's guesses that were more outrageous than the last, Jiang Zhou suddenly became addicted to drama and wanted to make up a few random guesses to muddy the waters.
But at this time, something happened that made his expression slightly change.
He instantly lost interest in this aspect.
"By the way, that multi-purpose printer..."
Jiang Zhou suddenly talked about another topic.
"Where was the multi-purpose printer sent after it was transferred from Chiron's house?"
he asked.
"It's sealed in a safe house on the fourth floor of the resettlement area. Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Booker, who was interrupted mid-sentence, asked strangely.
Without the energy supply from the fusion furnace under Chiron's House, today's multi-purpose printer can no longer be started.
Connected to the power grid of the resettlement area as an energy source, it can only print some simple things at best. Otherwise, even if it is just a full set of depth 1 adjustments and transformations like Jiang Zhou did before, the Fusion Bureau responsible for power supply will notice an abnormality, thus exposing the location of the printer.
"Can we go there now?"
Jiang Zhou suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked.
"Taking you to the safe house where the multi-purpose printer is kept is part of today's itinerary. But the next step should be to take you to the organization's corporate liaison room... Is there anything you need to rush to the safe house? "
Booker asked confused.
Jiang Zhou calmly calmed down his anxious mood, and then said:
"I want to use the multi-purpose printer now."
Booker was even more confused by Liao Qi's answer.
"Until the energy and security issues in the safe house are resolved, the multi-purpose printer will be in a sealed state, as you know. Moreover, the materials used for printing have not been transferred together, and Winston, who is responsible for debugging the printer, is still in the ICU. Lie down..."
Jiang Zhou shook his head and said:
"You misunderstood. I didn't want to print something with the multi-purpose printer, I just wanted to connect it and try it out."
"So, why do we need to connect?"
Booker continued to ask.
Why connect it?
At this moment, Jiang Zhou, who was in the dark web of the Depth 2 Abyss, couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this question.
Because if Liao Qi’s associated account is not logged in, he will be killed by the malicious programs chasing behind him!
