The notification came very suddenly. Five seconds after the assembly bell rang, a young man with a large number of data cables tied behind his head like dreadlocks opened the door and strode in.
Jiang Zhou knew this person.
A guy from the bottom of the Nord resettlement area who studied with Liao Qi at the talent incubation center run by Pluto Deep Diving Company.
That guy named Lu Yuan.
Jiang Zhou remembered that this guy was appreciated by his superiors for his outstanding performance in network attack and defense subjects. After that, he was promoted all the way and finally became an intern at Pluto Deep Diving Company - and also became a model in Liao Qi's mother's mind for escaping from the fate of the slums through the company's promotion system.
In Liao Qi's memory, he couldn't remember how many times his mother told him how promising this kid Lu Yuan was in the future, and then asked him to work hard to learn from others.
It turns out that this is how it feels to be compared with "other people's children"...
Recalling those memories of Liao Qi, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but think that he had always been regarded as "other people's children".
But I didn't expect that these people would come directly to Tartarus...
I have to say that Jiang Zhou was slightly surprised to see this person here.
As a newly minted Olympus god, Pluto Deep Diving Company's background is far less than the original twelve companies. Therefore, perhaps for security reasons, the specific coordinates of Tartarus, the company headquarters where the α-level deep-diving physical interface is housed, have always been kept secret by Pluto.
Only core company members are allowed here.
But the Lu Yuan in front of him even wore the badge of an intern - being able to go to Tartarus as an intern, there was really no problem in saying that he had a bright future.
"Anyone whose name I read, please come with me."
After standing still, Lu Yuan's eyes casually swept across the crowd in front of him. During this period, his eyes briefly rested on a few of them, and his eyelids twitched a few times.
Immediately, he cleared his throat and read:
"Chinatsu Sakura."
"Brand Carr."
…
Lu Yuan read the names of the previous deep dive salvage members one after another. At this time, Jiang Zhou suddenly heard a muffled curse coming from behind him.
"TMD, this white-eyed wolf should have been allowed to starve to death in the first place."
Looking back, the Icarus member whose name was read earlier, named Brand, was staring at Lu Yuan who was reading the list, with an expression of disgust clearly written on his face.
"Which white-eyed wolf?"
Jiang Zhou asked curiously.
"The guy whose name is being read, he used to be..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan had just finished reading the list.
"Black Falcon-136, Theseus."
The last one was Jiang Zhou’s code name. After reading it, he raised his head and continued:
"Those whose names are read above please come out and wear restraints as instructed."
After saying that, the door behind him opened on its own.
Outside the door, two rows of security members wearing full red and black shell armor and holding stun guns stood neatly.
Next to each of them, there is a power skeleton used as a restraint.
Jiang Zhou noticed that the three-headed hell dog logo was printed on the shell armor shoulders of the security members outside.
These are the men of Cerberus...
A wave of uneasiness instantly filled Jiang Zhou's heart.
…………
On the way to the third deep dive cabin, Jiang Zhou asked about the situation.
It turns out that the guy named Lu Yuan was a war orphan adopted by the House of Chiron.
His hacking talent was discovered by the organization very early on, and the former team leader Koret wanted to train him as the leader of the hacking team.
But when Lu Yuan reached adulthood at the age of seventeen, he left Chiron House without saying a word and went to the talent incubation center run by Pluto Deep Dive for further study.
What happened next was what took over Liao Qi's memory - Lu Yuan's hacker potential was discovered by the company, and he rose to the top in one step.
Considering that his earliest talent development was related to Icarus, it's no wonder that this man was called White-Eyed Wolf by them.
However, Jiang Zhou didn't care too much about whether that person was a white-eyed wolf or something, or it was useless to care about such things.
After all, there are more things to care about right now.
For example, the purpose of their trip.
When they put on the restrained power skeleton, the other party told them directly where they were going next - the third deep dive warehouse, the department that Ye Qian was responsible for.
Naturally, one has to dive and salvage when going to the deep dive warehouse, but Jiang Zhou does not believe that Ye Qian has the ability to get the Icarus people back from the hands of Perse Fanny.
After all, even when it came to sowing discord in the Nord resettlement area, Ye Qian had to use such a secretive method... and failed miserably in the end.
This shows how weak his faction is now.
These, plus the security forces who escorted them there, were all Cerberus' people.
In this case, the reason for this deep dive operation is obvious.
verify.
Verify that the previous accident had nothing to do with any of them.
Probably only Cerberus came forward and in the name of this reason could Perse Fanny be able to make concessions.
If that were the case, it wouldn't matter. He might actually be able to take this opportunity to smuggle out a batch of more technological blueprints.
However, Jiang Zhou vaguely felt that things were not that simple.
After all, in the Abyss Dark Web, in a place that cannot be monitored, if someone hopes to cause any accidents, it would be too easy.
Thinking like this, suddenly, the imprint left by Hecate for him in Jiang Zhou's brain-computer interface suddenly sent him a reminder.
After a week, Ye Qian once again tried to use the "puppet circuit" to influence Jiang Zhou's mood.
He hoped that Jiang Zhou would become irritable and impulsive in the coming time.
…………
"Actually, I don't want to do this, but this is what Cerberus meant. So, Ms. Fannie..."
Ye Qian said sincerely.
In response, Fanny said with a sullen expression:
"Then this is really a convincing reason. Do you want to say that among those who dived before, some were selected by the goddess of the moon as candidates for her horses... just based on those people?"
Ye Qian just shrugged and replied:
"But you have to admit that several of them, or at least one of them, are really talented..."
"Talent? Is this a matter of talent? What kind of talent do you think is needed to be able to carry the goddess of the moon who is suspected to come from the super abyss and once almost removed Diana from Olympus?"
Fanny interrupted.
In her opinion, this is because the other party wants to use this name to destroy their layout in the Nord resettlement area.
After all, if you want to become a "horse" of existence at the level of Hecate, you may have to break through the depth 7 of the limit of human intelligence to have some qualifications.
And "Theseus" was destined to be unable to break through the limits of human intelligence after embarking on the "Road of Theseus", a road that reaches a maximum depth of 5.
"Perhaps the god of the three-way intersection will be willing to train him from scratch? Just putting him back like this, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? Miss Fanny, as employees of the company, we must first consider the interests of the company in everything we do. ,after that……"
Ye Qian said this.
"It is impossible for a being from the super abyss to be so interested in a guy who was a native before. Besides, even if he really wanted to do this, without an α-level deep diving interface, he would not be able to break through the Styx Firewall... I don't think so. I have said it many times that letting them leave Tartarus is the safest option."
Fanny pursed her lips and continued.
"you are wrong."
Ye Qian shook his head.
"The safest option is always to put them to sleep forever."
Then, before the other party got angry, he quickly continued:
"Of course, I can understand it. After all, you need these people for your work, and you need them to win the trust of those poor people who were hurt by my rough behavior before."
When he mentioned the word "rough", Ye Qian couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile on his face.
"So, please rest assured about this. I and the person in charge of Cerberus' operations guarantee that in the end, everyone will be able to come back safely."
Ye Qian said this in a very sincere tone.
Of course, this is after confirming that they indeed have no connection with the goddess Hecate.
he added.
"Guarantee? If you dive into the abyss and dark web, no one can guarantee that you can come back safely."
Fanny replied coldly.
In response, Ye Qian just smiled slightly and said:
"No, this time a depth 4 combatant will be sent to dive with them.
"It's both surveillance and being their bodyguard."
"who?"
Fanny was stunned for a moment, then asked immediately.
"The vice-captain of Wolfsbane Force, Wu Tou-23, the direct disciple of Mr. Wu Tou-1.
"Walking on the upgrade path Cerberus, the adjuster of depth 4."
