"No."
The man answered directly and straightforwardly, and then continued without waiting for Booker:
"The timing deviation reaches forty minutes and thirty-six seconds. Is that existence you call a 'paradox' related to the three previous times you lost signals?"
Booker nodded.
As he expected, the people above noticed the deviation in the timing - every time he was pulled into the abyss dark web for a "trial", the timing would stagnate.
Since he couldn't find any reasonable explanation, he could only report some information truthfully.
"Then, please describe the existence called 'paradox' in detail."
The man nodded and said.
Booker took a deep breath, and finally said with some anxiety:
"Can I not say it?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm not sure what the consequences will be if I tell everything I know."
"Why do you say that?"
Booker's words did not cause any emotional fluctuations in the other party, and the man said with a normal expression.
"Because about a week ago, Pluto Deep Diving Company suffered a hacker attack... According to my inference, there is a high probability that it was caused by the existence called 'Paradox'."
Booker's answer finally caused a slight change in the eternal expression on the other person's face, which was like a marble sculpture.
The man opened his mouth and closed it again. After being silent for about five seconds, he finally confirmed:
"Are you sure?"
"I don't have direct evidence, but it's very likely."
Booker answered truthfully.
"In other words, in your opinion, the 'paradox' comes from the existence of the abyssal zone, or even the super-abyssal zone level?"
This judgment is not difficult to make. After all, a malicious program that can cause such losses to Olympus Enterprises must exist at this level.
Booker nodded.
"So, did you disclose any information about the 'Fire Thief' to the other party?"
The man continued to ask. Moreover, when he asked this question, his tone was obviously aggressive.
In this regard, Booker shook his head very calmly and said:
"How is that possible? Besides, I don't think the other party actually cares about this."
The man was silent again, and after a long time he continued:
"So, what about the possibility of cooperation?"
"At least the past few contacts were mostly in good faith. Of course, I don't know if that is considered good intention... so I suggest not to take the initiative to contact Him."
Booker answered.
Just like the devil in "Faust", some of the other party's actions may seem to be giving benefits in good faith, but they may have disastrous consequences in the end.
He recalled the two grams of antimatter that Mr. Paradox had given them before - until now, it was difficult for Booker to convince himself that what he planned to do next would definitely bring about a happy ending.
"Then the last time you told the logistics liaison that you needed 500 grams of helium-3, was it also because of the 'goodwill' released by the other party?"
"It's like this... As long as I produce two grams of antimatter as printing material, I can win independent power for the people at the bottom of the resettlement area."
Booker replied frankly.
The blonde beauty couldn't help but frowned when she heard these words.
"The Icarus Liberation Front is just a temporary residence to facilitate your movements. You should not be too involved in it - for example, it is inappropriate for you to become their leader now. This is very important to your mission. , it won’t bring any help.”
The man reminded him.
"I understand...but I just do this in the hope that I can help the people here as much as possible within my ability."
Booker lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice unconsciously.
"But I think you should also know how meaningless it is to fight for the gains and losses of a city and a place in a place like the Nord Resettlement Area in the face of the size of the Olympus Order... Don't forget your original mission."
The other party's expression became more serious.
"Of course I won't forget..."
Booker murmured:
"Find the coordinates of Pluto Deep Diving Company's headquarters, Tartarus."
When the blonde beauty heard this, her expression softened, she nodded with some relief, and then continued:
"The α-level deep submersible interface currently controlled by Pluto Deep Diving Company originally belonged to us. But if we want to change the current order and compete on the same level as those gods of Olympus, we We must take back the deep-diving interface that belongs to us."
It can be said that the α-level deep dive interface is the foundation of those Order of Olympus enterprises. Imagine a mine that can mine unlimited quantities of black technology. With a multi-purpose printer, they can continuously mass-produce equipment that countless scientists cannot figure out the specific principles of.
For any political entity, there is a gap as wide as a natural chasm between whether or not it has mastered the α-level deep dive interface.
Without it, you will never be able to keep up with the other person's pace, and you will always be able to follow behind and pick up some leftovers.
"In short, it's good that you can understand your real mission. In addition, do you need to apply for other resource assistance for your mission?"
After taking a look at the time, there was less than the last minute left, the man said.
This is a routine inquiry for every contact. Generally speaking, you don't really want anything. After all, it's just a shitty place underground in the Nord Resettlement Area. Although it's chaotic, most of the time it's just novices pecking each other. .
With Booker's upgrade path depth of 3 in Perseus, as long as he doesn't seek death to offend the company's top management, he can basically handle 90% of the emergencies he may encounter in terms of force.
but……
"I am applying for a Depth 4 force authorization license. In addition, if possible, I also hope to purchase a complete set of adjustment permissions required for Icarus Path Depth 3."
Booker looked at the man when he spoke, and made his request in a very serious tone.
As for this request, the blonde beauty was stunned.
"Depth 4? Do you know what you are talking about? Why do you need to apply for force authorization from Depth 4 in a place like Nord's underground settlement?"
It's not on the battlefield in East Africa or North America. What kind of big conflict can there be in a place like this?
not only that……
"Also, what are you going to do with the adjustment and transformation of Icarus Depth 3?"
To this question, Booker replied seriously:
“I hope to be able to introduce an adjuster with unlimited potential to ‘Fire Stealer’, an adjuster for the upgrade path Icarus.
"That person is definitely a genius... In my opinion, he is a genius who has the ability to break through the limits of human intelligence."
