Chapter 15: Identity Reversal
Ah Wei barbecue restaurant.
It's not a barbecue restaurant for Ah Wei, but a barbecue restaurant opened by a boss nicknamed Ah Wei.
Because the location of the store is close to the train station in Anling City, this is one of the few barbecue restaurants in Anling City that will be open until the early hours of the morning.
It was already night when Zhu Jue returned to Anling City in Linda's car, and he didn't eat much all day, so he simply came here to order all the barbecue, and sent a text message to Olivia by the way, now that their whereabouts have been known to them, they are not so evasive, and he happens to have something to ask her.
"What happened when I was in Greenland, how did I get frozen for five years?"
Olivia leaned the dripping umbrella outside the store, took a cup of tea to relieve greasy, and asked as soon as she sat down in front of Zhu Jue.
This kind of experience sounds a bit nonsense to ordinary people, you must know that modern freezing technology is not impossible to freeze a person for a long time, but it is also necessary to have the help of various instruments, Greenland wild environment naturally cannot have these things.
"All I can say was an accident, it was complicated, it wasn't voluntary, but overall I benefited a lot from the fact that it had been so long. ”
This is the truth, in the past five years of freezing, Zhu Jue has completely eliminated the hidden dangers in his body, not only his own spirit has returned to a normal state, but also with the help of the power of the ancient crystal, he has carried out an all-round "upgrade".
It's just that there are too many things involved, so it's inconvenient to tell Olivia.
"You came here with the plane from Greenland that appeared in Dawn City yesterday?"
Olivia suddenly remembered the boiling Greenland escape plane incident that was rumored in the news some time ago, and couldn't help asking.
"Otherwise, what do you think, I arrived in Dawn City last night, and today I will come to Yecheng to look for wind chimes, tired. ”
He took out two honey-colored agate stones from his backpack and squeezed them in his hand, rubbing them against each other with the swing of his fingers like walnuts.
If someone observes with a sophisticated instrument, they will find that the volume of these two agate stones is constantly shrinking between collisions, and the color is slightly dull.
This is not the effect of the disk, but Zhu Jue is extracting the energy in it, which he found on the way back, whether it is a ruby or these honey-colored agate stones, they all contain some special energy, which can be used to enhance his spiritual power.
Although the amount in each gem is not much, but the number is quite a lot, Zhu Jue now has the five bags of gems in his hand when he completely absorbs them, it should be able to have the effect of the "newbie gift bag" that the gentleman gave him before the two pots.
The only regret is that the efficiency of absorbing the energy of these gems is really low, according to the method that Zhu Jue is using now, he can absorb about two in one night.
This is still on the premise that his soul is liberated, otherwise it is like the previous situation when his soul is closed, even if he holds these gems, he can't feel the energy in them at all, and can only treat them as ordinary gems.
Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that I didn't sell them because I wasn't short of money at the time.
Otherwise, it is easy to invite trouble.
To get back to the point, the reason why Zhu Jue took the initiative to call Olivia out this time was to inquire about the inside information of the Yecheng incident through her.
"You're now a member of the Archaeological Society......"
Before he could ask a few words, Zhu Jue heard Olivia talk about his identity, and asked in some surprise,
"The Einsatzgruppen doesn't want you anymore?"
"Anqing Mansion is gone, where did the special operations team come from, during your absence, the federal government planned several recapture plans for Anqing Mansion, but in the end it failed to stop the spread of monsters, and finally had to give up, and those of us who were originally part of the Anqing Mansion Special Operations Group were also assigned to various departments in other regions......"
According to the assignment, Olivia joined the Monster Countermeasures Bureau of Dawning City, but because Dawning City is a super city, there are not too many monsters with mental pollution sources to deal with, so after working in the Monster Countermeasures Bureau of Dawning City for two years, she took the initiative to apply and be transferred to the Archaeological Association.
Although the Archaeological Association and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau are now two completely different organizations, three years ago, when the Archaeological Association first started to build a field bureau for the investigation of monster incidents from the source of mental pollution, it still relied on the help of the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, and even provided a lot of confidential information to the federal government, in order to poach some people from the Monster Countermeasures Bureau to fill the gaps in the Archaeological Association, and establish a preliminary framework.
Because of this, Olivia was able to rise from a member of the Einsatzgruppen without any background background to her current position in three years
"Since your status in the Archaeological Association is not low, you can also get access to a lot of information when you think about it, how much do you know about the Yecheng incident?"
After listening to Olivia's simple description, Zhu Jue knew that this time he should have found the right person.
"Zero!"
"Hey, that's a bit too much, so let's talk about it. ”
"When I say 'zero', it's not a number, it's a name!"
Taking a sip of herbal tea, Olivia frowned and said the name of an organization.
"Zero?"
Zhu Jue asked with some embarrassment.
"This is a very special cult organization, and it cannot simply be called a sect, but a combination of certain cults that exist all over the world...... For example, the people we met at the Spring Festival Parade in Rongxia City, they belonged to a local cult organization, the Holy Spirit Sect, because of you, the sect's plan was completely broken, and the leader of the organization died on the spot, and then in the follow-up investigation, it was found that the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, the self-proclaimed Taoist master, had close contacts with this religion called 'Zero', and similarly, through the satellite images at the time, we found that the old man who appeared on the Music Dome was very similar to a suspect who appeared on the federal wanted list for a long time...... His title in 'Zero' is Merlin!"
Olivia noticed that Zhu Jue's expression was a little confused, and then explained,
"Merlin is a legendary magician in English and Welsh mythology, a powerful magician, full of wisdom, foresight and transfiguration, known for his role in King Arthur's ascension to the throne and his legacy, and is a close friend and mentor of King Arthur...... According to the speculation of the available information, the members of the cult 'Zero' are almost all mythical people, and in fact they do possess the power that can be called a miracle in the eyes of most people!"
"Hmmm......"
Speaking of Rong Xia City's situation, Zhu Jue immediately thought of the crack that appeared in the sky and the large group of Baiyaki that flew out of it, this kind of power could indeed be called a miracle in the eyes of most uninformed people.
And as Rong Xiacheng's memory resurfaced in his mind, Zhu Juepan's honey-colored agate stone movement paused slightly, and said to himself: "The Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra of Xuanjun, I thought it was a myth at the time, but now it seems that it may be something that actually exists, since it is so......"
His eyes fell on the backpack beside him, and Zhu Jue suddenly realized that the book he had obtained was hand-copied by Flo through the "mentor" in his dream, and it seemed that it was worth going back and studying carefully.
"What are you talking about......?"
"I'm just saying that the bacon enoki mushrooms here are delicious, do you want a bunch?"
Picking up the meat skewers in the tray and handing them over, Zhu Jue continued,
"There's no other information about the organization, and finally the location of the organization's members. ”
"I'm sorry, that's all the secrets of the Archaeological Society, the information I just told you is already the limit of what I can say, as a member of the Field Service Bureau of the Archaeological Society, I can't take the initiative to leak the secrets within the Association, that would violate the confidentiality agreement I signed when I joined the company, if I am discovered, the next time you want to see me, you may have to go to the heavy prison in Dawning City. ”
Olivia hadn't actually been promoted, but in front of Zhu Jue, she highlighted the Field Service and the possibility that it might come into contact with the cult "Zero".
"Confidential...... Do you know of any way to find similar information?"
Zhu Jue respected Olivia's work, and he was not going to force her to tell those secrets, which was done to the enemy, and her behavior of following her to the outer city today to confirm her identity made Zhu Jue classify her as his friend.
"If there is a way to do this, please tell me!"
Olivia's reply was quite straightforward, the Archaeological Society is now doing its best to gather information about this organization, and if there were channels for this, it would have been explored long ago.
"Tsk, do you have any comments?"
Zhu Jue, who realized how stupid his question was, swallowed three pumpkin pies in a row in embarrassment, and asked vaguely.
"You're asking me for help, can I think so?"
At this point in the conversation, Olivia had a little more smile in her eyes, pulled the neckline with both hands, straightened the coat that was a little wrinkled because of sitting for a long time, leaned on her left cheek, her eyes locked on Zhu Jue, she was wearing light makeup and cooperating with the heavy rain outside the window, and her temperament became more and more cold.
Zhu Jue had been frozen in the inland ice field of Greenland for five years, and he thought that his friends were still the same, but in fact, in the five years of the sudden change of the world, they had already grown into new situations.
"You can think so. ”
I always felt that something was wrong, but Zhu Jue still nodded.
"You want to get confidential information about the Archaeological Society, and investigate the mysterious legends about 'Zero', the source of the psychic pollution, and the mysterious legends...... There's only one way, and that's to join the Archaeological Society!"
Here's Olivia's suggestion.
"Can anyone join the Archaeological Society? I'm a black guy right now. ”
No matter what period the archaeological association has not recruited people at will, after all, the things that the association has come into contact with are not very acceptable, and with Zhu Jue's current identity, he does not even have the qualifications to participate in the assessment established by the archaeological association.
"I am about to become the captain of the Field Support Bureau, which is a big position, according to the internal rules of the Archaeological Association, the newly recruited team leader has a certain degree of autonomy for his own investigation team members, and with my relationship, it is not difficult for people to participate in the internal assessment of the Archaeological Association. ”
Taking another sip of herbal tea, Olivia had a little more triumphant smile in her eyes, thinking of what she had just encountered in Yecheng, she paused for a few seconds and raised her eyebrows and said,
"You beg me, and I'll let you be my subordinate. ”
Five years ago, you were my boss, and not only did you dislike me, but you also ignored me.
Five years later.
It's time for a change of place!
