37. A forked path in the jungle
In the evening of that day, Fang Chi and Xie Weishi took Shanze's car back to Chiang Mai City.
Xie Weishi's words could destroy her sanity more than ice cracking.
Her mind began to flash back to the meeting with Sheng Yan on the day of the Siren Trading. The piercing gunshots, the dark sea water, and Shi Zhengrong's cold and hard warning sounded in her ears: "The people of the nineteenth bureau don't need feelings!" β
If it weren't for her revealing her undercover identity, how could Sheng Yan have died. She thinks that she has a disease about love, and she has Ye Gonghaolong-style fear.
She began to wonder if Xie Weishi's words had ulterior motives, because he didn't say any more nonsense. He didn't seem to expect her answer, but just dragged her into MaeLampong, who was in a trance.
Without deliberately hiding their tracks, the mercenaries on patrol quickly discovered them, and after a body search, they were taken to Zenzawa.
Xie Weishi, speaking authentic Eastern English, told SΓΉ Shanze: The two of them came here on a trekking expedition along the Chao Phraya River and discovered this village. Looking for some food and gear supplies.
Xie Weishi has his usual calmness and casualness, even though the mercenaries are on the side, he can still tell the lie as if it were true.
It turned out that she was the one responsible for the frightened.
Shanze looked at her with flickering eyes and constant panic in her eyes, and the corner of her eyes fell on her hand that had been held tightly by Xie Weishi, and laughed. He waved his hand to signal the mercenary to stand back, and said, "Look at the little girl." β
Zenzawa left the two of them for dinner. During the banquet, Shanze was very talkative, and he picked up all Xie Weishi's resume. Xie Weishi replied fluently, as if he was really a Chinese-American, and even said his address in the Baltimore area. When Zen Ze tried him in Chinese, he said it stumblingly, even with his hands and gestures, and occasionally a large number of Japanese words appeared, which was difficult to listen to, and Shan Ze couldn't find a flaw, so it passed.
But Fang Chi could see that Xie Weishi was guiding the topic in the direction he was good at little by little, and he was also approaching the blood field that Shan Ze was good at.
Sure enough, the conversation quickly shifted to Johns Hopkins. It happened that Zenzawa had also studied at that university, and the two quickly chatted in the medical field.
However, Shanze is also an old fox, and he showed great curiosity about Xie Weishi's neurosurgery, and asked with great interest, not giving Xie Weishi a chance to find out his details at all.
Shanze looked at Fang Chi, who had been listening to their chat, and said to Xie Weishi, "Your girlfriend is very well-behaved." I just like such an obedient little girl. β
Xie Weishi smiled and nodded: "Yes." β
In the end, Shanze sent Fang Chi and Xie Weishi to the hotel in Chiang Mai City, Shanze pulled Xie Weishi to the side, he looked like he wanted to hook up with Xie Weishi, but Xie Weishi was much taller, and he could only pat Xie Weishi's back.
Shanzesai gave Xie Weishi a business card and whispered, "Dude, I have a very awesome patent in hand now, do you want to do it with me?" Money will definitely not be able to treat you badly. He nodded at Fang Chi, who was standing far away, "Don't talk about such a beautiful girl, hundreds of thousands, you can choose when the time comes." β
Xie Weishi glanced at Fang Chi standing on the edge of the Mae Ping River, his long black hair was pulled into a fresh and lovely ball on the top of his head, revealing a slender and gentle neck, and his slender and tender eyebrows seemed to be more distinct in the night.
He smiled very well-fashioned, "What patent?" β
"Blood-tech."
"Now that the technology in blood is very mature, what new ways can there be played?"
Shanze laughed proudly, and patted Xie Wei hard: "Boy, you don't understand this." If you believe me, the future of this technology is great. β
At this time, his mobile phone rang, and he answered, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll be right away." Put down the phone and said to Xie Weishi: "Think about it again, I'm very optimistic about you." When you think about it, make sure you want to partner with me and call me. I'll tell you more about this patent when the time comes. β
Before leaving, he slapped Xie Weishi again and said, "Believe me, someone bought this patent for 50 million US dollars, but I didn't sell it." β
Fang Chi looked at Xie Wei and walked towards her. She removed the invisible earphone in her ear that was as round as a bean and hung it on her necklace, as if it were just a small and delicate ornament.
The conversation between Xie Weishi and Shanze just now was in full view, and the water of the Mae Ping River was very quiet, reflecting the sparse lights and the lack of a moon in the sky. Fang Chi raised his head slightly, and saw that Xie Weishi's face was handsome and harmless in the night breeze, and there was still a calm in his deer-like eyes that had never swayed.
"You must have encountered a lot of temptations."
No road gets narrower and narrower. It's just that the more you go, the more bifurcations you face.
Where will a dedicated cultivator lack money? They are poor, and most of them are just their own choices.
"Presumably you too."
Fang Chi looked at him, and suddenly felt that he didn't need to say the rest of the words.
β¦β¦
Back at the hotel, we still stayed in one room each. Fang Chi thought of what Xie Wei said during the day, and felt that he didn't know where to answer. Maybe it wasn't a question at all, and she wasn't obligated to answer. So they said goodbye and went back to their rooms.
It is a five-star hotel with a full set of virtual reality glasses and force feedback equipment. After Fang Chi took a shower, he routinely logged on to Maandala to check the letters and update them on recent news events.
But under the sun, nothing new. Maandala officials quietly shielded the ice crack, and the ruler between the eyebrows did not reappear during this period.
In smooth water.
Unsettling calm.
Fang Chi was a little anxious. Can't tell what she's waiting for. But her instincts told her that Maandala shouldn't be so calm.
She easily downloaded a reliable Maandala version of the Onion Router and entered the dark web.
It's a completely invisible world. The user's identity is invisible, the IP address is invisible, and the service site is invisible - there is no way to trace it.
In the dark web, Fang Chi's Avatar turned into a pitch-black humanoid. The other Avatars she could see were exactly the same as hers, and there was no way to tell each other.
The world is almost colorless compared to the normal world of Maandala, like a lifeless cement coffin, all the buildings resemble simple concentration camps, indistinguishable from each other, and only familiar people can quickly find what they are looking for.
A black bubble suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
This is a message from an anonymous messaging system on the dark web.
She popped open the bubble and saw the words she wanted to see the most, and the words she least wanted to see.
[Pay1000BTCandgettheSHENG-DEATHvideo] (Pay 1000 BTC to give you Sheng Yan's death video)
Below is a commonly used entry point to a payment system on the dark web to ensure that both parties can pay in one hand and deliver the goods in the other. Generally, transactions with this entrance are usually authentic and credible. And in the attachment attached to the bubble, she saw a few screenshots.
Although it is not as big as the point of opening, it can still be clearly distinguished, it is Sheng Yan.
Sheng Yan was arranged in a cross and tied to a white bed.
Fang Chi suddenly felt unable to breathe, took off his virtual reality glasses abruptly, and forcibly exited the Maandala system.
She stumbled to the trunk and swallowed a handful of Ξ± inhibitors in one go.
I don't know how long it took, Fang Chi sat up from the side of the suitcase with a white face, his eyes were blood-red, but there was a terrifying calm. She put on her virtual reality glasses and force feedback device again and entered the Maandala system.
Bitcoin is an independent and universal virtual currency on the internet. At the current price, 1,000 bitcoins is equivalent to about 5 million yuan, which is 5 million M coins.
This is not a price that is out of reach. It may also indicate that the person really wants to close the deal.
Fang Chi didn't have any savings. The only money in the past was contributed to the Monopoly.
However, Sheng Yan has enough M coins in his Maandala account. He had shared his financial account withdrawal password with her, but she had never used it.
This time, it doesn't matter.
Using the withdrawal password, she quickly entered γγ¨'s financial account. According to the account, the last time I logged in was in September last year, before Operation Fox Hunt. It seems that the predator's intention to hack into the account is indeed not for money.
Fang Chi took out 5 million M coins and converted them into 1,000 bitcoins, and once again entered the dark web. After the payment ended, the system automatically pushed a video compressed package.
Videos are not suitable for watching on the dark web. After Fang Chi checked that there was no entrainment virus in the compressed package, he stored the video and left the dark web.
However, when she entered Maandala, where the bright light replaced the lifeless leaden gray of the dark web, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
γγ¨οΌ
It's him again! False Apostles! Predator!
This time, the Marauder still didn't give her any chance to fight, and before she could move her Avatar freely, Lacrimosa was completely contained.
What happened next surprised her beyond comprehension.
γγ¨ sent her a friend request.γ
She was still struggling - "Let go of me!" You this&@#Β₯! In a hurry, she even cursed the swearing.
However, γγ¨ locked her from behind - he was so powerful that Lacrimosa, a fresh Avatar, couldn't resist it. He used a very special lock-up technique, much like MMA grappling, that left her limbs in a very strange twisted state, so that she couldn't even unhook her force feedback device and take off her VR glasses to force her out of the Maandala system.
He controlled Lacrimosa's arm and forced her to take a proper position little by little, Fang Chi watched as his arm chose "Tong GuΓ² Friend Application" without controlling it!
Is this an account hijacking?!
Force Avatar to make a system choice without hacking into Avatar! This requires an extremely familiar understanding of Maandala's gesture commands to do so! This is because he can't see the user interface on Lacrimosa's side, but the system will only respond if Lacrimosa makes the exact correct gesture.
It was only at this time that Fang Chi really realized why a veteran Maandala player like Sheng Yan must not apply Maandala's default gesture commands, but customize them. The Avatar "Nightingale" she used to have customized the gesture command under Sheng Yan's guidance. She didn't understand it at the time, thinking that custom gesture commands were just more convenient and "cool", but today she learned that the original custom gesture commands were more to avoid passively executing orders under the hostage of other Avatars......
Her Lacrimosa is one such Avatar that still uses the default gesture commands of the Maandala system.
She watched as the Marauder twisted her arm once more and pulled open the "Gear Box" menu.
When she saw the video compression that had not yet been opened, she suddenly understood the purpose of the predators.
"Stop! If there is anything to say, we can say it well! β
However, the Marauder completely ignored her request for both hard and soft treatment, and still didn't say a word, forcing her to click "Give all the equipment to a friend", and in the pop-up dialog box, select "Confirm". She grinned her fingers to avoid the chosen spot. However, the Marauder knew Maandala's interface so well that he snapped her fingers and clicked precisely.
With a "bang", the equipment box was empty. All the gear, along with that video zip, vanished in an instant.
At this moment, the confinement of her whole body was lifted.
Immediately after, she saw a dialog box pop up in her field of vision:
"Your friend gifted you equipment ......"
All the rest of the gear is back.
Only there is no video of Sheng Yan's death.
