Just after breakfast the next day, Wu Ming went to the Lucky Ancient God Office through the teleportation device set up in his room.
After registering the data of Constantine and the anomalous object microwave oven, Wu Ming yawned and walked in the ancient and gloomy castle corridor of the Lucky Ancient God Office towards the director's office. He had been busy writing a report on the urgent mission yesterday. Staying up until three or four o'clock. With his current physical condition, he only sleeps for three or four hours. It's totally fine to stay up late or something. But there are too many things that need to be written. Regarding the recovery of mission targets, the current situation faced by the United Kingdom. And hazard assessment, the origin of the birth of bacterial civilization and the speculation about the mastermind behind the birth of this civilization, and even the matter of Lin Jiaojiao's ghost body wandering around need to be followed up and solved. This kind of mental consumption is what makes Wu The main reason why Ming feels tired now.
After all, he really didn't expect that an urgent mission could actually involve several branches.
Fortunately, most of these side missions have not yet opened up the next plot. Constantine’s theory of the mastermind behind the scenes has no clues at this stage. He quietly cleaned up the traces of extraordinary power left by the unknown existence of bacterial civilization in the Holy Land. It is too vague to take characteristic samples and hand them over to the agency monitoring station for tracking. As for the unstable situation in the United Kingdom that is tending to split, it is an internal matter. Unless their internal divisions have an impact on the normal development of human civilization, Wu Ming believes that in the future The position of the Lucky Ancient God Office is definitely not to interfere in the internal issues of civilization.
In the past few days, Wu Ming hung out on the intranet when he had nothing to do. Not only was he supplementing his extraordinary knowledge, but he also looked up relevant records in the history of human civilization out of his own curiosity. After all, he was originally a chuunibyou and a conspiracy theory enthusiast. Especially after joining the Lucky Ancient God Agency and learning that there are many mysterious secret societies and extraordinary creatures in the world, he became more interested than before in knowing whether there really was someone secretly controlling the development of the world. A committee of three hundred people...
But later Wu Ming found that he was overthinking. Even a mysterious organization like the Firm, which has extremely high technical capabilities and can create a global surveillance network, treats the development of civilization by letting it develop on its own. Even if human beings in this planet The two wars on the planet were about to blow each other's brains out. There was even a period of tense situation where nuclear weapons could be taken out at any time and directly wash the earth into a wasteland planet with a radiated world view. The agency did not send any dispatches. Operators intervene in the situation.
This style of completely leaving civilization to develop on its own, and only dealing with external factors that may distort or subvert the development of civilization, made Wu Ming even wonder if the reason why the firm is willing to contact (recruit) people on earth is because of the monthly Earns six social studies points...
In contrast, Lin Jiaojiao may be the best to follow among these side tasks. Zhao Sida has set a marking point on the child. If they are willing, they can find Lin Jiaojiao at any time to investigate...
Wu Ming was thinking about how to deal with the director later, while opening the door of the office and walking in.
"Hey, you're here?" The director leaned on the chair and put his feet up on the table without any image. When he saw Wu Ming pushing the door and entering, he didn't even prepare to change his posture. He still raised his head and leaned on it like a salted fish. On the back of the chair: "Come and tell me, what's going on with the statement in the report that there were more than a hundred Elizabeths?"
"It was also written in the report that this was a special operation based on the special conditions at that time..." Wu Ming spread his hands and said with a "blame it on me" expression: "After all, the memetic virus is controlled by one person. In the hands of a genius with a flawed brain, the method of transmission is unknown, the degree of harm is unknown, and the method of treatment is unknown. If it is really some kind of mind-changing meme of super high school level despair, if we don't find Constantine quickly and let the meme virus spread. Then human civilization can report directly to the abandoned history of virtual time."
He still has some confidence in the matter of Elizabeth. When dealing with the crisis of civilization annihilation, operators have the power to use some special means according to the current situation. 'In order to avoid causing human civilization to be infected with the memetic virus and suffer a major blow, so The Special Affairs Office approved Elizabeth's split consciousness to build a wide-area exploration network under restrictions. 'This sentence was clearly written in the report. Of course, after Wu Ming saw the director take out the holy sword of physics from the drawer, his tone suddenly changed as if he were flipping through a book: " Of course, in order to minimize the impact of illegal operations, I dispersed all idle passers-by through cognitive obstruction in advance to ensure that no one would become Elizabethan due to being connected to the mental network. I also immediately recovered the scattered passers-by afterward. Elizabeth transforms animals and plants outside. And I gave Elizabeth permission to do this this time, so..."
The director naturally knew what Wu Ming meant by his last sentence. Extraordinary creatures under the protection of the agency need to be responsible for their own actions and choices, but when faced with the obvious behavior of copying consciousness to cover other animals and plants, the operator is Obligated to stop. What Wu Ming said was equivalent to taking the responsibility on himself. Even if there were subsequent consequences, he would be responsible for handling the aftermath, and it would not evolve into asking Elizabeth to recycle these split bodies that might contaminate her consciousness. He looked at Wu Ming with a playful smile: "Hehehe... you are really a genius. How many days have you been in the office? You have learned to take advantage of loopholes."
Wu Ming had a serious expression on his face (the reason for his sullen expression was that he was afraid that he could not help but laugh along with the director and admit the fact that he took advantage of the loophole and then be beaten by the holy sword of physics) and shook his head repeatedly: "Don't dare, I'm just explaining. It’s just facts…”
"Forget it, I will let you go this time. As for the things mentioned in the report, except not to interfere in the internal affairs of bacterial civilization, you can decide what to do." The director waved his hand to show that he was too lazy to talk to you. Wu Ming cares about these things. To cultivate an overtime machine with no emotions, sometimes necessary tolerance and guidance are still needed: "You did a good job this time. Sometimes you do need to use some special methods to solve problems. But you have to distinguish clearly which ones." There are things that cannot be done 'under normal circumstances', and there are things that cannot be done 'no matter what the circumstances'. The former requires you to measure, evaluate and make your own decisions, while the latter... are all written in the employee code of conduct. Think about it yourself."
After saying that, the director, who was just about to tell Wu Ming to do what he should do, suddenly patted his head and said: "Oh, by the way, don't leave in a hurry. There is something I haven't told you. Just yesterday, the monitoring station found you. The coordinates in virtual time of the abandoned history that I drifted into before.”
