…… I really didn't expect that a small banquet for just a few people could be held from noon to evening in one go. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Holding the only glass goblet in the shrine, Mullen gently shook the red wine inside and came outside to blow the wind. The moon had already come out, but it had shy hid behind the clouds and hung crookedly in the sky. He hadn't drunk much this afternoon, but he was very happy. The owner of the shrine found almost all the entertainment tools in his residence in order to make the two guests happy, and Mullen also saw the legendary so-called DVD player and the real thing of the TV without Internet access for the first time, as well as the former mainstream information storage carrier, the optical drive. It all seems so new, especially since they are so old that they don't even have a fiber optic cable connection, and they can still be used in perfect condition. Come to think of it, it is completely impossible for today's devices to decode the information stored inside, right? Lieutenant General Green may also be interested in his secrecy.

It's a pleasure to browse through those decades-old entertainment products, and for some reason, the animations shown by those optical drives always feel very similar to the "Oriental PROJECT". It is believed that these things seem to be left behind by their grandmother? A living source of Japanese culture in the early 21st century......

By the way, during the feast, Miss Shrine Maiden also took out their one-month-old daughter, and it was only then that Maren realized that the green hair turned out to be the family's natural hair color. This is so rare that even Patrick, a well-informed explorer, was amazed. But something even more surprising happened: after carrying their daughter, the shrine maiden smiled and announced that she and her husband had decided to name the child Sanae in honor of Mullen's grandfather who saved the life of the lovely girl, which was the reason why Mullen had indiscriminately referred to her mother as Sanae in the East Wind Valley in the first place. Sanae Dongfang actually appeared in the field of vision of Maren and Patrick in this form, which made the two of them feel a little incredible, but the former thought about it, anyway, he had long thought that the matter about Gensokyo was completely incorrect, and maybe it would not be a big deal for such a shrine maiden named "Sanae Dongfang" to appear. He's even glad that the name comes from himself......

An afternoon passed without even noticing. Feel...... It's like slipping away for no reason. I was really happy, but I didn't feel the fulfillment of finishing my work......

"Sure enough, is it my destiny to keep working?" Sensing that his thoughts were too strange, Mullen lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "But I finally made a breakthrough but didn't consolidate the program and algorithm while the iron was hot, what is the person who came here to blow the cool breeze say......"

Staying happy or even excited for a long time is not a good thing in a sense, it will consume a lot of energy. For example, Mullen's current situation: although he hadn't drunk much, he was starting to feel a little tired, and his brain was in a state of being awake and unconscious, although not so exaggerated, but it was somewhat similar to the feeling of putting all his energy into it when doing R.H.T.P.D. The wind blowing from the other side of the river carried some moisture, so it was cool and felt good. Compared to this......

I felt it just now. Something in the night exuded a strong sense of disobedience. What exactly?

Mullen has always trusted his instincts, and this time it was the same. So, of course, he began to work aimlessly in the uncertain night to find the source of his sense of disobedience. There seemed to be some "rustling" sound in the grass not far away, but then a rabbit jumped out of the grass that made Malen breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled at his inexplicable worry-

Then, the smile froze completely.

"Throw away the glass in your hand and raise your hand." Feeling the hard object against his neck, he heard someone quietly coming behind him say in English, "If you don't want yourself and your old and new friends to die." ”

————————————————— Dividing Line———————————————————

It stands to reason that he should have thought that someone was behind it. There are already too many hints: extra programs found in the brain access helmet when you enter here, a wireless network signal that suddenly appears from a satellite and disappears shortly thereafter, a lot of bandwidth taken up by unknown things, Gensokyo data in the EU database that has been deleted by your ID, and the threatening email that your computer receives when the network is about to be disconnected. All kinds of things are pointing to this only conclusion, so I should have taken precautions, but why......

Wriggling his hands and trying to break free of the ropes that bound him, Mullen thought to himself with remorse. Looking up, the other three people in the room—strangely enough, the priest and the shrine maiden's father were not present—also looked unwilling, but what made Maren strange was that the shrine maiden and the priest also had expressions of remorse. Shouldn't it be your fault?

"Tut-tut......" sat in a chair, and the mastermind of the attack was looking at Mullen with a look of disappointment. These people seem to be ...... to themselves Very respectful? This...... Impossible, right? If you respect me, why do you tie me up? It's weird. "Mr. Maren Owen, to be honest, I am disappointed by what happened tonight. You see, what kind of mentality I had in mind to launch this attack today: we had sent you an ultimatum very, very clear, but we didn't encounter even the most basic traps on the way. This...... Alas, Mr. Dirk shouldn't be an explorer, right? And as far as I know, you have also read courses related to architectural engineering...... As a result, I didn't have any precautions at all, oops, oops......"

"I'm so sorry." Disturbed by the other party's flirtatious tone, Mullen replied coldly, "Because I have made new progress in my work, and I feel very tired from trying my best to save someone's life, so I ......"

"Saved someone's life!? It turns out that the old man is still alive because of a problem with our program!? Hearing this, the slightly blessed yellow man in front of him suddenly cried out in surprise. Standing up from his chair, he excitedly paced back and forth, "Oh my God, my God, my God! In that case, in that case, you actually wiped out our virus in the ten seconds when the wireless access device was not completely destroyed!? Sure enough, sure enough! You're the one we're looking for! Electronics Engineer among Electronics Engineers! ”

"I suppose you didn't come here with a bunch of dangerous weapons to compliment my talent, did you?" It seems that the other party has no idea about the R.H.T.P.D project. Then it's better to hide it completely, anyway, these locals have ulterior motives when they see it. Glancing at the weapon in the hand of the soldier at the door, Mullen continued, "So can you tell me as soon as possible what you are tying us up for?" Mr. Priest said that it had been a long time since there had been a guest here. Could it be ......"

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he tried his best to make his expression a little coercive: "You guys, are you from Gensukyo?" ”

This is obviously the most reasonable judgment that Mullen can make with the information he has so far. Someone had been stopping him and Patrick's movements. For example, passengers are not allowed to disembark while passing through India; For example, the program in the helmet; In the end, perhaps because Patrick found something, they finally had to take the initiative......

But the reaction of the person on the other side was greatly beyond his expectations. With a particularly confused expression on his face, the other party sat back in his chair again: "Well, Mr. Owen, we are not interested in that old culture brand from a century ago...... We wonder why you and Mr. Dirk came to Japan for this kind of thing. ”

“…… Your actions have nothing to do with Gensokyo!? ”

"It's bothering me to associate us with that fictional stuff, really. If it weren't for you but someone else who said that, we would never have spared him. Frowning, he waved his big hand, "Ah, by the way, it looks like Mr. Owen must have forgotten me." Can you remember? I came to Japan on the same ship as you, my name is Li Ping......"

…… That Chinese!?

Mullen suddenly felt the food he had eaten not long ago rush to his throat in an instant, accompanied by something that might have been sour water or something. Struggling to resist the urge to spit out, he moved his throat and forced himself to swallow it. Heart knot, heart knot, yes, I should have said goodbye to the past with the help of the shrine maiden...... Chinese are not terrible, they ...... There's gentleness, right? Yes, gentle......

The black body of the automatic weapon was silent in the night, like an answer to a question in Mullen's mind.

"Are you okay? I understand that your adoptive parents may have been extremely traumatized to you, so Chinese may cause you to be offended...... I'd love to let go of this disgusting identity if I could. Speaking of this, a trace of disgust crossed Li Ping's face, "An ancient country...... Cut, those rotten traditions, rotten ...... Although this world is rotten enough, it must be even more rotten there...... Because of the ancient ......"

…… What is he hating? Hate...... Old? Antiquity should mean a splendid civilization and a precious heritage......

"Ah, sorry, I seem to be emotionally fluctuating." Sensing Ma Lun's confusion, Li Ping coughed lightly a few times, and then continued his introduction, "It seems that you feel much better." So, if you know all this stuff about me, the next thing I want to introduce is about 'us'—"

“TheRepublicofInformationTechnology。” Just as he was about to continue, Patrick, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly said in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself, "I've dealt with your people once or twice before, but I've never heard that you've been armed......"

"Well, because I had to do it. I do have information about Mr. Dirk, and he showed some interest in us in the early days of the organization, right? But remember to give up quickly. ”

“…… At the beginning, I wanted to find a suitable place for Mullen, who had no one to rely on......"

"Huh!? How is that? Hearing Patrick's words, Li Ping shouted in surprise, "In other words, if we had behaved better at that time, Mr. Maren Owen might have been our comrade!?" ”

“…… No, it won't. I just remembered. You guys ......" glancing at the people around him, Patrick said in an extremely cold tone, "It's already a terrorist organization recognized by the United Nations, right?" No wonder there are armed ......"

"That's because the rotten bureaucrats of the United Nations have been bewitched by the Jews. We have merely sent a few technical experts to assist the Islamist groups that have embraced our ideas. Who would have thought that they would be so stupid as to use these crude techniques against the Israelis? In this case, in order to ensure a minimum level of self-defense, of course, there must be something in hand. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Mullen gradually began to understand the identities of these people who broke into the shrine. The Republic of Information Technology, abbreviated as R.I.T, or the Republic of IT. Mullen had heard of the group, and they had successfully used their hacking skills to create a not-so-small mess in the financial industry - but it seemed like that was about for it. Nearly a decade has passed since this news, and while the economic damage may seem astronomical, given the size of the world's financial markets, its impact is limited to industry insiders, and the name is rarely heard by the general public. Thinking of this, the reason why the other party ran over is naturally very clear-

"You...... Do you want me to join you? ”

"It's a good thing for me that you realized so quickly." Nodding with a smile on his face, Li Ping said, "To be honest, many of us are your big admirers......

"What kind of worshipper would be able to implant murder-like programs in my helmet, send threatening mails, call satellites to hack into the heart pump chips of people close to me to commit murder, and even put a gun to my head and tie me up?" The body's discomfort response to the "Chinese" seems to have been completely eliminated. Taking a few deep breaths, Mullen raised his head and retorted, "Besides, I don't have the slightest intention of resigning from the company to join you......"

"That can't be said, Mr. Owen. It's because you always ignored us before, so we had to. What's more, wouldn't there be that kind of fan too? That is, to kidnap him in order to monopolize the idol, turn him into his own thing, and even kill him, dissect him to understand everything about him...... The man who came up with the plan for your murder loved you so much that he killed himself as soon as he heard that you had survived, 'I can't even kill Mr. Owen, I don't know him, I don't deserve to be his admirer.'" Shaking his head, Li Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's more, we don't want you to resign at all, which won't benefit us at all." Originally, IT Republic was not a company......"

…… What is this guy talking about? You will have ...... The kind of fanatical admirer who resembles a starchaser? And, a professional electronic engineer?

…… No kidding! No kidding! Where is the calmness that electronics engineers need thrown away? I shouldn't have such a strong idol effect at all! This kind of thing can only be done by one person in the world, and that person who is a professional practitioner is much more dazzling than a star......

Yumemi Okazaki. Only she could do that. My words, it is simply impossible......

"You and Yumemi Okazaki are the same kind of people. You could have been attracted to each other. A perfect match made in heaven. Suddenly, Mullen remembered what Patrick had said to him two days earlier, "It's just a pity that you know her, but she doesn't have the time and the opportunity to get to know you...... And she's also much luckier than you. Lucky genius and unfortunate genius yo ......"

"You ...... What do you want to do? ”

"What to do? It's simple, Mr. Owen. Let's ......" silently lit a cigarette, and Li Ping replied in a calm and steady tone, "We just want the world to develop in the direction it should go." ”
