After looking around for a while, Dave wrapped his hood again to hide his iconic metal skull.

After sitting at the bar and ordering a "sidecar" from the robot bartender, he resisted the urge to continue looking around.

In fact, there is absolutely no need to be so nervous...

Looking at the trembling hands on the table, Dave kept comforting himself in his heart.

This is the negative level, and it is still a security area completely under the control of the provisional government. Even the Icarus Liberation Front does not have the courage to extend its hands here.

Not to mention the "Dark Blue Zone Bar" where he is now - as the largest intelligence market in the entire Nord resettlement area, anyone with a normal IQ can tell how much background the boss here has in the "tenth floor" government. deep.

It is impossible for Icarus, who is now severely weakened, to set up spies here, let alone dare to take action here.

But it's no wonder that he is so troubled now. After all, he has been avoiding the pursuit of those guys during this period: he traveled through multiple levels and was almost rounded up by the opponent's action team several times. If it weren’t for the guidance and help of a “noble person”, I would have been arrested long ago and tried live online...

Recalling that some time ago, I was on the live broadcast channel of "Nord Voice of Justice" and saw the arrested members of the "Lobotomy Gang" being sent to the electric chair one by one amidst the cheers of the Internet mob, Dave I couldn't help but shudder.

These guys are simply unreasonably barbaric - this is already a new era under the rule of Olympus. The death penalty has been abolished in almost all resettlement areas, and even some advanced and open places have abolished the concept of individual crime... They actually still set up private courts to try people, and they still tried it in public.

A public trial, isn't that just a live broadcast of murder?

A group of living corpses that behave in the style of the AD era...

"Sir, you ordered 'sidecar'."

While mentally scolding the lunatics of Icarus, the robot bartender pushed the cup towards Dave with impeccable standard movements. He took the wine with a steady hand, and then asked it in a low voice:

"How much does it cost to open a conversation room?"

Session Room - This is the most valuable service of the Deep Blue Zone Bar. We provide a room where the identity of the guest is kept strictly confidential and a realm of silence is developed, where no one will disturb or monitor the room. The room is rented by time. Middlemen often entrust urban mercenaries with missions here, and intelligence dealers also choose this place to exchange information.

After hearing Dave's question, a business smile immediately appeared on the other person's bionic silicone face:

"It's thirty ores per minute without a reservation. If you need help clearing your itinerary, it's double that."

The itinerary information refers to all public transportation records and driving records of the other party coming to the Deep Blue Zone Bar. All public transportation records and driving records will be cleared, and all nearby surveillance videos will also delete traces of his being here - this is the owner of this bar again. A great proof that the ten-level government has great hands and eyes.

Dave stood up holding the wine glass, nodded and said:

"Then let's follow the top standards."

Hearing this, a burst of blue light flowed from the eyes of the robot bartender. It froze for a moment and then said:

"Session Room 021. In addition, sir, do you need help clearing the itinerary information for the guests you are going to see later?"

"No……"

In response, Dave replied:

"only myself."

So, led by the robot bartender, he came to the conversation room. As soon as he closed the door, all the Internet-connected devices on his body showed that they had lost signal.

After repeatedly confirming that the door was closed tightly, Dave carefully took out a small black box from his bag and placed it solemnly on the table.

This was something he found in the safe in the Raven-66 leader's room when he was running away from the Lobe Gang.

Dave didn't think too much at the time, and just took the small box with him along with some other valuable things.

However, during the escape process, by chance, he connected the black box to his brain-computer interface, and then discovered that this thing turned out to be a special communication device that could directly communicate with a corporate big shot.

The other party did not reveal his identity, but just expressed that he was very disappointed with the former leader of the Lobotomy Gang. If the original Chiron House operation was successful, the Lobotomy Gang could easily take over the ecology of Icarus. Bit... In the end, he couldn't even do such a small thing well.

But after being disappointed, the other party turned around and expressed that he was willing to give Silverhead Dave another chance - as long as he could obey his own arrangements and do one thing, in the future, all levels underground in the settlement area would still be brains. Ye Gang's.

So, under the arrangement of the other party, he avoided Icarus' search and came here, ready to hear the next step of the plan.

After connecting the data cable to his brain-computer interface, a moment later, a vague humanoid outline appeared on the seat opposite the table.

Even in the realm of silence and all electronic signals have failed, the other party can still contact you through this black box.

"I have followed your instructions and came to the Dark Blue Zone Bar, Mr. Y."

Mr. Y, this is the other party’s self-identification.

"What should we do next?"

Dave asked impatiently.

"You're in the dark blue zone now, right?"

The voice that had been processed and had no distinguishable features asked.

Dave nodded.

"Very well... there is a suitcase under your seat now. Take it out, but don't open it yet."

Hearing this, Dave bent down and groped with some suspicion, and sure enough, as the other party said, a heavy metal suitcase was placed under his seat.

He has undergone a depth of 1 adjustment and transformation, which includes strengthening of muscle fibers. But even so, when he tried to pull out the metal suitcase, he still felt a little difficult.

The contents of this suitcase are incredibly dense, probably weighing nearly half a ton...

"What's this?"

Dave asked cautiously.

"Some things should have been delivered to you long ago, but were delayed due to some special reasons."

The human silhouette across the table said:

"And now that it's in your hands again, it can be considered a waste... In short, as long as you have this, you will be able to do some things that you didn't even dare to think about before. For example, in full view of the public , kill Deep Blue, the boss of Deep Blue Zone, in public."

"What?!"

Dave was surprised.

To him, Mr. Y's next order was already obvious.

The brief shock quickly subsided, and Dave lowered his voice and said:

"You want me to assassinate Deep Blue here?"

"What's inside the box is an exoskeleton powered armor made in imitation of the Aegis I-type individual combat module. Wearing it is enough for you to kill everyone in the bar...including the two flashy ones next to her. bodyguards and superficial security equipment in the bar.”

"This is not a question of whether it can be done or not..."

Dave looked horrified.

"The riot control unit of the resettlement area government is less than two kilometers away from here. If something happens here, they can arrive within three minutes. By then..."

"They're not going to make it on time."

Mr. Y simply replied:

"After killing her, you will have enough time to leave. And you don't need to worry about retaliation from the settlement area government afterwards. They will think it was Icarus who did it, and then the riot control troops will be sent to the bottom to arrest Icarus. Carlos's top management. By then, you also don't need to worry about Icarus' arrest.

"How is it? What are you going to choose now?"

Dave, who was connected to the black box, couldn't help but feel his heart beating "bump-bang-bang" after listening to Mr.

He swallowed and then said:

"good……"

As he spoke, Dave reached for the heavy suitcase.

The blurry figure of Mr. Y in front of him shook for a while, as if he was about to disappear.

Before the other party disappeared, he gave a final reminder:

"By the way, after putting on the exoskeleton power armor, remember to place this black box in the slot on your chest."
