Stage 402 Underground
- War Observer?
Hearing the name from the other party's mouth, Lin Chi frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
He thought that Hoffman's men had captured Dalyanne, but now it seemed that the situation was not quite what he had imagined.
It was not Hoffman's "pig-headed men" who were searching for Darien, but the subordinates of the War Watchers.
So the question is, why would that idle guy who played a killer game in the city search for a hacker's trail with great fanfare?
Could it be because Darien found the temporary web page of the War Watcher?
Although it didn't seem to be worth making a big deal about just because of this kind of thing, Lin Chi knew that it was not impossible for a strange person like a war observer to make such a move.
Of course, to find out what exactly happened, it is better to ask the "person" the quickest.
"I want to know, how much do you know about the 'War Watcher'?" Lin Chi said and pressed the blade against the other party's neck, and the bald man's throat suddenly showed a bloody mark again.
"I don't know anything, the boss doesn't reveal personal information, we are in contact with our superiors, not directly with the war observers themselves...... " said the bald man tremblingly.
"Alright then, tell me everything you know." Lin Chi smiled and added, "Also, I need the address and contact information of this 'superior' you mentioned." β
I have to say that interrogating such a spineless soft egg couldn't be easier. Ten minutes later, when Lin Chi cut the poor worm's throat and left the TV tower directly from the elevator in the open, he already had an extra laptop in his hand.
He turned on his computer at a fast-food restaurant on the side of the road, typed in the password provided by the bald man, and then expertly found the hidden folder on the hard drive and began to look up the information stored inside.
"This guy...... Sure enough, there is a mystery. He muttered under his breath.
The more Lin Chi checked the information on this computer, the more he felt that the power of the war observers was great and hidden, even far beyond his imagination.
His previous guess was right, that mentally retarded guy who seemed to be crazy actually controlled almost the entire city of Alvara!
According to the information recorded on the computer, there are at least a hundred businesses in Alvara, which are actually owned by War Watchers. This guy's tentacles have infiltrated almost every corner of the city, whether it is the city government or the Silver Shield Company responsible for guarding the city, they are inextricably linked to war observers.
In this way, the Silver Shield security company, which is responsible for keeping the city safe, is ostensibly preventing war watchers from continuing to publish information about the assassination target, but in fact it is secretly supporting the guy.
So, why would war watchers go to such lengths to do such a thing?
Lin Chi thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of the other party's motives at all.
He was well aware that with the extremely large power of the other party, many key information must have been hidden. It is even possible that the information I obtained was deliberately leaked by war observers.
It's undoubtedly much more difficult to challenge this kind of opponent than it is to play against a player. But even so, in order to find Dalyanne's traces, he had to try.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi used the account and password provided by the bald man before his death, logged in to the guy's corporate chat software, and began to contact the "superiors" of the special investigation team to try to infiltrate this secret organization.
Although the power of the War Watchers spread throughout the city and even to other places. But in the case of too large an organization, no matter how strong that guy's command ability is, there will inevitably be weaknesses.
And what Lin Chi is ready to take advantage of now is the weakness of this organization.
β¦β¦
At half past two in the morning, a man in a black suit with blank eyes walked into an all-night bar in the center of the city. Go straight to the innermost chair of the bar and raise your hand to knock twice on the bar.
Thirty seconds later, a hot waitress in a black leotard behind the bar walked over slowly, smiled politely, and asked, "What does this guest want to drink?" β
"Strawberry milkshake." Lin Chi whispered.
"Strawberry milkshakes aren't like a man's choice." The hostess chuckled.
Hearing this, Lin Chi's voice was lowered, and he said a code that could be called shame:
"Actually, I'm a pseudo-mother."
"Oh? I see you're still a man, I need to see your ID card. The waitress stretched out her fair and slender right hand to Lin Chi.
Lin Chi took out the bald man's ID card from his pocket and handed it over, the woman looked down at the photo on the card, and then raised her head to look at the man whose face was basically the same as in the photo, but with a lot of hair.
She frowned slightly and asked, "Your hair grows pretty fast?" β
"I've been paying more attention to my image lately, after all, I'm getting older, you know." Lin Chi, who had used the disguise technique, pouted.
The waitress with long blond hair narrowed her slender eyes like a poisonous snake, stared at Lin Chi's face for a while, and finally nodded slowly, and whispered to Lin Chi while returning the ID card:
"Box No. 3, I opened the permission, just swipe the card, let's go in."
"Thank you."
Lin Chi took the ID card to the cedar door of the No. 3 box inside the bar, and swiped the ID card in his hand on the card reader.
Then, in the headphones he had put in his left ear and taken from the bald man's corpse, a female tone sounded:
"Welcome to Special Investigations Base Thirteen, Mr. Hogg, please enter the fingerprint of your right index finger on the fingerprint reader next to the doorknob."
- Is there such a security measure?
Lin Chi pretended to inadvertently lean to the right side, blocked the view of the camera in the corner behind him with his back, and then opened the backpack as quickly as possible, took out the bald man's severed right hand, and pressed the bald man's cold index finger on the LCD screen of the fingerprint reader without anyone noticing.
"Fingerprints confirmed, welcome, Mr. Hawke."
With a click, the door of the No. 3 box opened inward, and Lin Chi walked into the room quickly, turned around and closed the door, and looked at the scene inside the house.
Unlike a normal bar box, this room is very shabby, with only simple furniture. On the wall facing the door of the box, there is a famous painting that often appears on various occasions - "The Scream".
Lin Chi took down the painting and put it aside, and a cipher disk appeared on the wall behind him. He had already prepared everything, and decisively entered the password provided by the bald man: 8193.
Five seconds later, the wall began to slowly open back, revealing a metal staircase leading directly below.
The "staff" in a black suit slowly walked down the metal staircase, observing the neighborhood with the help of the sci-fi blue lights on the wall.
The long staircase with no end in sight reminded Lin Chi of the staircase that appeared after he had discovered the truth in the "Ark of the Creator" map.
- Is that really the case?
Realizing that his guess was correct, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Lin Chi's mouth.
As he expected, with a large number of men under his command and a large number of bloated institutions of all kinds, the low-level organization under the command of the War Watcher is actually very loose.
With his level of camouflage, it is obviously impossible to blend into a heavily guarded base, but it is more than enough to blend into such a place.
However, despite this, Lin Chi did not relax his vigilance, but raised his vigilance again.
As he walked down the stairs, he reached for the dark vulture pistol in his pocket, ready to draw and fire in a second.
As for why he is more vigilant in a good situation, the reason is actually very simple:
"Isn't it going too well this time?"
In the eyes of Lin Chi, the experienced "assassination master" who infiltrated the base, it seemed abnormal to enter the base so smoothly. According to his reasoning, there is a 75% chance that he is falling into a trap.
- If this is really a trap, the trigger for triggering the trap should be the four-digit password you just entered.
According to Lin Chi's experience, such a secret base is likely to set up a variety of passwords, one of which is the correct password used by internal employees, and the other is a "special password" deliberately revealed to spies and intruders.
After entering the special code, the door will still open, but when the agents who think they have infiltrated the base enter the base, they will find that they are armed soldiers or something......
"Huh."
Thinking of this, Lin Chi laughed and quickened the pace of progress.
Even though he knew he might be stepping into a trap, he didn't back down. After all, it's too late to escape, and the door when you came is probably locked. And......
"Let me see the methods of the 'war watchers'......"
As he spoke, Lin Chi had already reached the end of the stairs and entered an empty square room.
There was nothing on display in the room, the metal floor and ceiling were clearly visible, and the surrounding walls were lined with twenty silver metal doors, which looked very oppressive.
At the same time as Lin Chi entered the room, the metal door behind him suddenly closed heavily, and the light cast by the incandescent lamp in the room suddenly turned into a strange green light.
- Is it a trap?
Realizing this, Lin Chi decisively pulled out Tanya's pistol, stood in the room without any cover, raised his head and asked:
"Are you there, Mr. Warwatcher?"
β¦β¦
There was a deathly silence in the room, and no one answered his questions except for the faint sound of motorcycle engines.
"Friend, I've seen through your tricks a long time ago, that's why I came here on purpose." Lin Chi said and raised his middle finger at the lens of a monitor in the corner of the room: "Don't you come out to talk?" β
- If it had been a mechanism made by someone else, I am afraid that I would have been killed directly. This strange room is clearly the work of a war observer.
Therefore, what Lin Chi wants to bet on now is "whether the war observer will respond to him"!
The faint sound of the engine still echoed through the room, as if it were coming from behind a metal door.
Just when Lin Chi was waiting to start getting impatient, a strange voice that had been electronically processed and could not distinguish between men and women sounded from the gray metal ceiling overhead:
"You're interesting, friend, and welcome to the private stage prepared for you by the War Watchers!"
- The weirdo with huge power, who is also the most mysterious existence in the game, is really paying attention to this "playground"?
Realizing that he was probably in direct dialogue with the war observer himself, Lin Chi felt a strong sense of joy rise in his heart.
Of course, he still had a calm expression on his face, and asked bluntly, "So can I ask a few questions?" I'm interested in you personally. β
Under normal circumstances, of course he would not be so straightforward, and in the face of this kind of strange person, Lin Chi also decisively used the communication method of dealing with the "special situation".
Before he could finish speaking, the war watchers burst out laughing:
"Do you know who you're talking to, lad? The people who once investigated my identity have now disappeared from this world! β
Without waiting for Lin Chi to answer, the crazy weirdo continued: "For the sake of your courage, if you can complete the 'game' of this stage, I can let you outβof course, I also said the same to other people who have played the 'game' here before, but unfortunately none of them can get out alive, it's really unappetizing......"
"So now, the game begins!"
As the war watchers gave the order, there was a dull rumbling sound from the walls around the room, and the twenty metal doors embedded in the walls slowly opened upwards, billowing black smoke and the screeching sound of engines came from inside.
"What's that?"
While Lin Chi was speaking, the movements in his hands were not ambiguous, he raised his hand and raised the "Dark Vulture" pistol, and shot a shuttle bullet directly at the door closest to him.
The 9MM pistol bullet flew into the dark space behind the door, making a crisp crackling sound, and at the same time, a golden spark lit up, and the bullet seemed to hit some metal object, but did not kill any target.
ββ¦β¦β
Before Lin Chi could confiscate his pistol, he heard heavy footsteps in the dark space behind the metal door.
Knock, knock, knock.
A heavy metal boot came out from behind the door and stomped heavily on the metal floor of the square room. The smell of engine oil filled the enclosed space, and twenty tall figures walked out of the door at the same time.
"......"
Seeing the scene in front of him, even Lin Chi, who had already been mentally prepared, couldn't help but let out a stunned voice.
ββWalking out of the secret doors around him, surrounded by himself from multiple angles and in all directions, there are twenty tall and muscular giants who are willing to bow down to Schwarzenegger!
As if they were celebrating Halloween, they all wore pumpkin-shaped hoods on their heads, which were supposed to have their eyes hollowed out and glowed with an eerie red glow.
The bodies of these strong men were covered with super heavy metal armor comparable to the armor of fearless warriors, which shone sharply under the green light, and as for the black smoke coming out of their hands, it was a large chainsaw that was longer than Lin Chi's body!
"Damn, do you play this trick......"
In the face of twenty terrifying chainsaw murderers, even Lin Chi had a tricky feeling.
Then the twenty men gathered around him.
