Ever since, everything ended so quietly, except for some low-key changes, it was as if nothing had happened.
The "Fourth Prison" was sealed indefinitely due to the upgrade of the containment equipment; the director of the third deep dive chamber was replaced by a previously unknown small role; the board of directors increased its focus on the "Pegasus" project of the Medical Department. Budget investment; the expansion arrangements for the bottom floor of the Nord resettlement area were fully entrusted to "Cerpolos"...
One order after another was passed down the chain of command. Although these orders were jointly signed by multiple departments, they were nominally the result of discussions among the company's middle managers. But everyone who received the news knew the source of these orders.
In fact, it would be incorrect to say that these were all so-called "orders" - if anyone consulted historical documents, they would be surprised to find that these issues had been raised a long time ago.
Including personnel changes regarding the third deep dive warehouse, including the decision to upgrade the "Fourth Prison"... These are things that have long been written in the company's planning documents - although no one has ever had such an impression, since It's in the file, and there's even a similar record in my own external memory, so that's probably what happened.
The first thing employees working in Tartarus must learn is not to question the will of their superiors.
For example, the adjutant of the former head of the third deep dive warehouse, You Fei. The news she received now was that her former boss Ye Qian was transferred to the Luxor resettlement area in North Africa due to an emergency transfer order. There, he will use his talents in urban mercenary warfare to wipe out the local armed forces supported by Neptune Transportation.
You Fei is very willing to believe this explanation.
Even if there is no way to explain why Ye Qian didn't even have time to come back and say goodbye to his old subordinates, he didn't even hand over the work to his successor;
There is no way to explain why Ye Qian, as an adjuster of Theseus Path Depth 4, did not even come back to take away the "puppet" he made when he went to face the battlefield with an uncertain future. …
Even so, You Fei is willing to believe that Ye Qian really left Tartarus for North Africa.
Otherwise, what else could she believe?
At this moment, You Fei is strolling in the third deep dive chamber. Whenever she needs to relieve some negative emotions, she will come here because of her job. She likes to relax while checking the vital signs of the "mine cards" at the moment while listening to the sound of the cooling machine running.
Although she could not say that she liked her former boss, You Fei had to admit that the other person was far more cruel and powerful than herself.
He once said that the inside of the company is a bloody hunting ground. Only by constantly strengthening yourself and climbing up on the corpses of other losers can you see a different scenery.
The resources required for evolution are limited, and one must be able to restrain outdated morality and learn to be cruel in order to compete for this qualification.
After all, the human revolution has begun since the era of the Great Impact. Only those who have undergone adjustment and transformation are qualified to become real human beings.
That being said...
You Fei walked to the command podium of the third deep dive cabin, recalling how Ye Qian once directed the deep dive operations here, and couldn't help but shake her head.
You can gain benefits because of your cruelty, because the people above hope that you can remain cruel... When they no longer need you, you will not even be recognized by death.
He died like an unknown wild dog whose body was dumped in the wild.
She thought so.
Regarding the death of this guy who used the "puppet circuit" to play with other people's souls, You Fei didn't feel sad at all. However, for a person who always looked invincible in her eyes, just "missing" without a trace, she couldn't help but feel a certain sadness rising in her heart.
Since the adjusters of Depth 4 are like this in the eyes of those big shots, then what does his own life matter?
I chose to join the company and escaped from one besieged city to another. Was it right or wrong?
Questions that I can’t figure out.
Finally, she dug into her pocket and took out a memory that Ye Qian had left with her. After the office was destructively cleaned by the staff, this memory was already the last relic that I kept.
People like Ye Qian who are destined to be "disappeared" on the battlefield are destined not to have their own coffins, funerals and epitaphs.
"A meeting with colleagues..."
You Fei murmured.
Then, she looked at the deep-diving sub-cang that looked like a coffin and sighed softly.
Then, she threw the last relic of her former boss in her hand with a clang.
…………
"Why did you let us out?"
Chinatsu Sakura asked as she looked at the open door of the solitary room and raised her hand to block the dazzling light.
"Next, you will be arranged to leave Tartarus."
Lu Yuan, who led the team, replied expressionlessly.
"Are you going to put us back again? I asked, can you be accurate in what you do?
"You've been told to catch and then released...how many times has this happened?! Are you always teasing fools?"
Chinatsu Sakura rolled her eyes and said.
"This is not a release. This time, we hope that you can act as a middleman to assist our envoy to reach a consensus with Icarus."
The deer is far away.
"I think that consensus should be difficult to reach, right?"
Qianxia Ying said that she was not angry.
"To put it simply, we hope to acquire the Icarus Liberation Front as a civil affairs company. We can negotiate the specific terms on the road."
In response to this, Qianxia Ying couldn't help but laughed and said:
"Which one of us do you think can accept this condition? Booker? Or me?"
Lu Yuan took a deep look at Qianxia Ying, and then said:
"In addition to the negotiating delegation, there are also..."
As he said this, someone grabbed him from behind.
"Hey...do you even have to tell them this?"
The man behind Lu Yuan asked.
"I think telling them this gives these people some minimum sense of urgency."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head again and looked at Qianxia Ying:
"In addition to the members of the negotiating delegation, they are also accompanied by the Wolfsbane troops of Cerberus... Please believe me, they are definitely serious this time."
Qianxia Ying sneered, but before she could speak, a slightly hoarse voice came from the side:
"I'm willing to go back with you."
Black Falcon-136, who was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall and a hand on his knee, said with his head buried.
Since the last deep dive operation ended and he surfaced to the base reality, he has been shutting himself in the depths of the closed room and stopped speaking.
Chinatsu Sakura and the others even thought for a time that this man who was consumed by guilt had chosen to commit suicide.
Today was the first time he spoke since he accidentally killed "Theseus".
"What did you say?"
Lu Yuan asked in disbelief.
"I said……"
Black Falcon-136 slowly raised his head, his eyes full of exhaustion.
"I am willing to act as a mediator in your negotiations."
The stubble-faced 136 said this.
…………
Narcissus Plain, City of Sages.
"This is almost the end of the debugging... It must be thanks to the powerful algorithm of that three-headed and six-armed sister, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to restore it to you 100%."
The hammer floating in mid-air, that is, the guy named Chen Wan, circled Jiang Zhou and said this.
Then, he sighed and said:
"But...oh, what a pity."
Jiang Zhou, who was constantly moving to feel his substitute program, raised his head when he heard this and asked with great concern:
"What's the pity?"
After all, tomorrow is the day when the printing of the geothermal power station is completed. There cannot be any mistakes in unlocking the information sealed in it.
If the data is damaged due to a problem with the substitute program that you have patched, you will be in big trouble.
Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, Chen Wan floated in front of him and sighed again.
Then, the hammer said a little embarrassedly:
"Don't you think that the indifferent character set by the goddess Hecate's interface is too annoying? Coupled with the subject she pursues, this is a perfect image of a three-no who hopes to gain affection! If I can give her It would be nice to change the visual interface to the shape of hands and feet, making it more like a beautiful girl."
The river boat is like being struck by lightning.
Is this guy... too pure? (End of chapter)
