After the adjustment was completed, Jiang Zhou was thrown down from the air by the multi-purpose printer.
Unlike the previous adjustment and transformation of Liao Qi's Icarus path depth 1, the Theseus path does not strengthen the control of balance. Therefore, after being thrown down, Jiang Zhou had no time to adjust his body balance as before.
So, with a "pop" sound, he was thrown directly to the ground.
Subconsciously activating the puppet circuit, the feeling of pain was instantly blocked.
It’s really a convenient ability...
Jiang Zhou, who was lying on the ground, thought to himself.
It's also dangerous enough.
After all, pain is an early warning system evolved by the human body. If it can be covered up subconsciously, then for some weak-willed people, it will make them reckless and extremely suicidal.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou immediately shut down the "puppet circuit" and let the pain in his ribs hit his forehead.
It’s better to wait until you need it and then use it carefully.
In addition, the changes in my body include...
"As I said, I just asked him to make adjustments and transformations in depth 1. Why are you in such a hurry? The materials and printing permissions used here are all recorded in my department... He shouldn't thank me in turn. Yeah?"
Before he could confirm his abilities, Ye Qian's voice came from behind.
"What I want to do has nothing to do with what you have paid before."
Ye Qian's reply came from a cold voice that Jiang Zhou had heard before.
Looking up, it was indeed Perse Fanny.
At this moment, she was standing in the middle of the hall, still wearing the same brick-red plaid stand-collar coat she wore before. Under the action of the electrostatic generator, a head of long, silky green hair took on an elegant appearance.
Behind him, Ye Qian crossed Jiang Zhou and walked to Fanny, and then said:
"How about this? Let's ask the person concerned for his opinion and see if he is willing to go with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a symbol of the waning moon appeared in Jiang Zhou's sight - that was the mark left by Hecate on him.
Immediately, a message informed Jiang Zhou that Ye Qian had just been trying to make him feel disgusted and disgusted.
Although the puppet circuit on his body was not connected to Ye Qian, the program left by Hecate still created the illusion that he could control it.
"Theseus, Ms. Purse Fanny wishes to take you back to her department. In case you have forgotten, she is the head of the Medical Department, where you were originally supposed to be sent."
Ye Qian turned around and said to Jiang Zhou.
Suggestive remarks, coupled with the secret activation of the negative emotion of "disgust" - if Jiang Zhou is really just a Deep 1 adjuster who has simply been implanted with a puppet circuit, he should probably be like those in hypnotic comics. The role is the same, just make it clear that you refuse.
And you will think that it is your true feelings.
The ability of this path is so disgusting...
Jiang Zhou thought.
Immediately, he pretended to frown, but before he could say anything, Fanny spoke in an unquestionable tone:
"Similarly, what I want to do has nothing to do with his will... Ye Qian, Pluto Deep Diving has never been a place that cares about the opinions of the weak and losers. I originally thought you would agree with this more than me. "
Jiang Zhou noticed that the eternal smile on Ye Qian's face froze for a moment.
Of course, it was only for a brief moment.
He probably activated the "puppet circuit" to control his emotions.
After all, what Fanny said before was equivalent to pointing at her nose and mocking herself as a weakling and a loser.
Seeing this, Fanny didn't say anything. Instead, she tapped Jiang Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, with her chin. The two zombie bodyguards behind her lifted him up one on the left and one on the right.
"Please rest assured that I will hold accountable those who intercepted my captives privately and sent them to the No. 3 Deep Diving Chamber, as well as privately brought this native for adjustment and transformation... I heard that Lu There is a shortage of security directors in the Kesuo Resettlement Area, and I don’t know if you will be lucky enough to go there to escape the heat this summer.”
Glancing at Jiang Zhou who was being held behind her, Fanny continued to taunt.
On Ye Qian's side, he still had a warm smile.
He said in a sincere tone:
"Let's not go to Africa for summer vacation, Miss Fannie, I think it is necessary to remind you: those of them who have participated in deep-diving salvage before are still on Cerberus's watch list. The top management allows them Being transferred to your department does not mean that they can leave Tartarus now."
"As you said, for now."
Turning around, Fanny said this.
She is very confident about this. Cerberus's manpower is always stretched thin, and these Icarus rebels are unlikely to cause the previous disaster.
Therefore, within a week at the earliest and two months at the latest, Cerberus would turn his attention to other more valuable targets. By then, as long as Icarus fulfills his promise and completes the underground project, he will be able to fulfill his previous promise and release the people.
This is also the reason why she will arrange Black Falcon-136 and others to be released in the last batch.
"Things are going to change very quickly going forward."
Fanny continued.
"Hehehe..."
In response, Ye Qian laughed out loud.
Fanny ignored this guy and left without looking back.
It wasn't until Fanny left the printing hall that Ye Qian said to himself with a smile:
"Indeed, things will change soon in the future...
"But, can you predict which aspect of the change it will be?"
…………
a.
On the first floor of the Nord resettlement area, there is a bar in the dark blue area.
Jiang Zhou was sitting in the bartender's corner with his black and white siblings, playing cards.
I don't know how much they lost, but the two siblings looked so gloomy at the moment that they seemed to be dripping with water.
"A Royal Flush."
Turning over the cards in his hand, Jiang Zhou put his hands on the brain-computer interface on the back of his head and leaned back.
"Why don't I count your money this round? After all, the amount is a bit large."
With a smile on his lips, he said coquettishly.
The next second, Jiang Zhou received a transfer request.
"TMD, no more fun!"
After transferring the money, the fair-skinned Ms. White threw the cards in her hand into the sky, stood up and left in anger.
"You kid, you're not out of trouble, are you?"
The dark-skinned Mr. Black on the side stared at Jiang Zhou with suspicion.
"You guys brought these cards, how can I give them a thousand dollars?"
Jiang Zhou spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"Then how come you always win?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his account with a pained expression. In less than an hour, two months of his salary had been deposited into it.
"I have both luck and card skills, that's all."
Jiang Zhou replied.
After hearing this, Blake looked Jiang Zhou up and down, and after thinking for a moment, he said "fuck you" and left.
Jiang Zhou would answer like this, which was somewhat shameless.
The reason why he keeps winning is actually quite prosaic, it's just that he uses his enhanced memory to memorize every card, and that's it.
With Jiang Zhou's memory, as long as he didn't look away while shuffling the cards, remembering which card was which was as easy as remembering what he had eaten in the morning.
If it were online poker, the siblings would never lose so miserably.
Jiang Zhou thought to himself as he counted the money in his account.
In addition to the control of his own emotions, the adjustment of depth 1 of the Path of Theseus also gave him a photographic super memory.
This kind of memory that allows him to memorize all the QR codes he sees in a day is overkill for playing poker with them.
In addition to his camera-like memory, the Path of Theseus at Depth 1 also strengthened his ability to multitask and his strong spatial perception.
The former allows Jiang Zhou to pay attention to two things at the same time without missing any information, while the latter allows him to perform three-dimensional maneuvers as easily as walking on flat ground - of course, if you want to fully utilize this advantage, you still need to install something similar. Climbing tools like mantis knives.
Compared with the Icarus Path, the Theseus Path has undergone a depth 1 adjustment and transformation. Although there is not a big leap in combat effectiveness, the functionality is broader.
Standing up and stretching his neck, he turned his gaze to Shen Lan, who was talking to the bartender.
The other party was about twenty steps away from him, and to him, this distance was almost nothing.
Today is his seventh day working as a bodyguard at the Deep Blue Zone Bar.
Booker's explanation to the organization was that since they would have to cooperate in depth with the ten-level governments in the future, retaining Liao Qi as their connector would be a good way to show the sincerity of the organization.
For this reason, Booker is currently taking over the hunt for the Lobotomy Gang's third figure, "Silver Skull Dave."
But in fact, Jiang Zhou's real job is to ensure that Ms. Deep Blue will not suddenly rebel before Booker's preparations are completed.
Because of the existence of the Mandala Code, unless the other party is locked in a small dark room with a realm of silence, if the other party deliberately wants to notify the tenth level of government, they actually cannot stop it.
But if the agent who installed the negative one goes missing for a month, the tenth-level government will also find out the clues.
Therefore, Booker's solution is also simple. He has only one criterion of judgment - consequentialism.
As long as your preparations are not hindered by the tenth level, then it will be deemed that the other party has not betrayed you.
On the contrary, Jiang Zhou can just take action directly.
"What if you are unlucky and your work is blocked?"
At that time, after Booker said this solution, Shenlan asked with a dull look.
"Then it's not my bad luck, but our bad luck. Let's pray together that this won't happen."
Booker replied.
So in the past few days, as long as the other party had a little leisure time, he would catch Booker and say some negative things.
Jiang Zhou can completely understand this.
But for him, these few days can be regarded as a slight vacation.
Ever since I came to this era, all kinds of dead ends have come my way. In just a few days, he experienced more life-threatening moments than most people put together in their entire lives.
Now he could take a rare breath.
There is no need to go to the Abyss Dark Web, no one suddenly appears to kill him, and he does not need to kill anyone immediately.
There is no weird artificial intelligence coming to find me, and there is no need for me to pretend to be an artificial intelligence in the abyss dark web.
All in all, a very peaceful week.
After Purse Fanny took her away, she didn't say anything to herself, and Ye Qian didn't use the puppet circuit to try to be a demon during this period.
The main body in Tartarus has been lying in the medical room during this period of time undergoing treatment for radiation sickness - because the pontine brain area is still growing, the treatment is relatively conservative, just slowing down the rate of brain collapse and destroying himself. The destined date of death was extended by one month.
Hecate never appeared again, it was as if she had never existed.
Pluto Submarine Company has also resumed normal operations - the closed automatic factory has reopened, and the stock price that had previously fallen sharply is also steadily recovering. Of course, the navy on the World Wide Web is still patrolling with high intensity, but in some hidden forums, urban legends have begun to circulate that this Olympus god was previously attacked by powerful AI in the abyss dark web.
During this week, Liao Qi's mood fine-tuning and mental index checks were all done online by Bai Dong - there were remotely operated instruments in the Dark Blue Zone Bar, and the delay was not high.
In addition to fine-tuning Jiang Zhou's mood, Bai Dong spent most of his energy this week on treating Liao Qi's mother.
Basically, Jiang Zhou would ask about the treatment situation every day before fine-tuning his mood, but the answer every time was not ideal. And the money he won from playing cards during this period was basically spent on the cost of Liao Qi's mother's mental treatment.
Winston was discharged from the hospital, and although he cursed that he would never do this job again, he eventually went to the new base where the multi-function printer was located. However, he no longer had the cover job at Chiron House, and now he also received subsidies from the organization.
The restoration work of Chiron House was proceeding steadily. Aunt Huo wanted Liao Qi to come over for a meal several times to thank him, but Jiang Zhou declined.
As for Booker, he has been in trouble this week. I contacted him several times but he showed that he was not in the service area and I didn't know what he was busy with.
The only time I went to the Dark Blue Zone Bar was to tell Jiang Zhou about the subsequent arrival of a large force at Fanny Studio.
"They want to rebuild the intelligent control center on the negative fourth floor."
He said with a serious face at that time.
"What's wrong with this?"
Jiang Zhou asked.
This matter was a condition they had agreed on during the previous negotiations. With the construction of the intelligent control center, the next batch of prisoners will also be released.
"There is no problem in building the intelligent control center, but in order to ensure the progress of the work, they will bring in a 1.414-standard universal printer.
"I'm a little worried about this. After all, if they get a multi-purpose printer, they can bypass some restrictions and put power at the bottom of the settlement area."
Booker replied.
In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, in addition to the necessary security personnel, most of the studios where Fanny is stationed are native people.
But if there is a universal printer, then the opponent can easily arm an army of adjusters at the bottom.
They can even recruit gang members in the resettlement area as their thugs. As long as they are not nominally part of the company, they can bypass legal restrictions.
This is how many gang adjusters came to be in the past - companies deployed multi-purpose printers into the resettlement areas, claiming that they only printed buildings or mechanical equipment. But after they left, that area was inexplicably filled with many gangs ruled by adjusters.
And those gangs happen to be at odds with local voluntary organizations such as labor unions.
However, Jiang Zhou's intuition told him that Perse Fanny would not make such a small move.
However, you still have to be vigilant.
"When can my Depth 2 adjustment begin?"
Jiang Zhou asked immediately.
Faced with this threat, improving one's own strength is the best choice.
Generally speaking, most of the quick adjustment team is at level 1, and the company is often not generous enough to allow them to take the upgrade path.
For those kinds of mobs that are strengthened by spare parts, depth 2 adjusters who are on the upgrade path are enough to deal with a lot of them.
"In two days, we will almost have purchased all the required materials."
Booker responded at the time.
If you think about it this way...
"It was said that in two days, it would be about this time..."
Jiang Zhou murmured.
Because his mission was to monitor Shenlan, he always paid attention to the direction of the bar.
At this time, Jiang Zhou didn't notice that behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a hood walked into the Dark Blue Zone Bar covertly.
His face was covered with metal transformations, as if flesh and blood were intertwined with metal.
If Jiang Zhou had noticed, he would have definitely discovered that this person was "Silver Skull Dave", the third figure of the Lobe Gang who the organization had been tracking for a long time but had never found.
Tell a joke and adjust your routine.
