St. George's Cole & Co

Headquartered in the central city of St. George, Kohl is a spire-shaped building, which is divided into different floors from top to bottom according to the level, and each floor has different functional blocks, from genetic engineering, to computer technology, from chip research and development, to virtual system research. [Kohl company] has been committed to the research and development of high-tech products, in recent years also because of the advent of technology products and widely known, here, technology is everything, here, you can use your hands to depict the future, truly achieve zero contact with the future.

[Kohl's company] is almost the synonym of high technology.

"Ding—"

The smart elevator of the Cole building stopped on the 66th floor, which is the top floor of Cole, the top floor of which is the office of senior management, and this entire floor is Scott's office except for a few offices dedicated to secretaries. These offices are fan-shaped, with Scott's office at the center, and two offices on the left and right for secretaries who write circulars and give orders to Scott.

"Ding-dong-"

As the elevator door slowly opened, a man in scientific research clothes walked out of the elevator, he looked to be in his fifties, both his face and gait were no longer young, the wrinkles on his face revealed the traces left by the years on his body, but his steps were very steady, step by step, black shoes stepped on white smart tiles, and the corridor equipped with sensors lit up with his arrival. When he walked to the office at the end of the corridor, he stopped, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, let his thoughts settle for a few seconds, raised his hand, and through the palm prints, he obtained permission to enter the office.

"Drip."

As soon as the door opened, he saw a white smart desk, on the other side of the desk, a chair that relied on magnetic levitation was facing away from him, and the owner of the office was sitting on the chair, looking out at the 66th floor.

"Albert, you're here."

Behind the back chair, a man's voice was heard.

The man called Albert stopped at his desk, and his eyes fell on the miniature model of the [Minghe System] console built on the desk.

“…… Be. ”

"Do you know why I called you?"

"...... [Alien Liquid]." Albert's eyes were a little evasive, although Scott didn't look at him, he instinctively felt Scott's compelling aura, and the rhetorical tone made him feel a little pressured.

"Hmph, in that case, could you, the chief bioengineer, please explain why [Alien Liquid] appeared in the last round of the game? Or did it come into the hands of a Hunter? ”

Scott's voice was cold, like a biting wind.

This is indeed a puzzling question.

It was indeed a serious mistake.

Albert raised his head and looked at Scott: "Mr. Scott, I have worked in [Cole Company] for more than thirty years, and I have also served the [Bloody Eye] organization, and I have always followed the rules set by the Pope, and I dare not exceed half a point. I understand that any product that is under development is not allowed to be known to anyone outside the organization. According to the company's regulations, [Alien Liquid] is still in the research and development stage, and it can only be used for the research and development of our bioengineering group, and can only be used for the development of aggressive organisms, and it is never allowed to be leaked to the outside world, let alone handed over to outsiders. ”

"Since you know this regulation, how can Mr. Joseph have [Alien Fluid] in his hands?"

Not only did he have [Alien Fluid], but he also used it on the Duke.

If it weren't for Icarus who shot the Duke in time, the ghost knows what kind of monster the Duke would have turned into under the effect of [Alien Liquid].

[Alien Liquid] is still in the research and development stage, there are too many uncontrollable factors, once the Duke uses [Alien Liquid] after his vital signs are unstable, what should he do if he dies in a physiological sense? Are they directly announcing the elimination of this player? Or do you want to add another player? And how can all this be explained to the government? After all, the [Minghe System] is under the monitoring of government departments, in order to cover up some inhumane rules in the game, [Cole Company] has been hiding from the world in many places, stealing beams and changing pillars, if there is a player's death, the government will inevitably track down the operation rules of the [Minghe System], and then they will not be able to hold back the things they conceal.

"This ......," Albert was momentarily speechless.

Scott was not in a hurry to ask for the guilt, just waiting for him to figure out the reason himself.

Albert, the old engineer, was silent for a long time, and after ruling out many possibilities in his mind, only one was left.

"I think [Cole Cole] has an inner ghost, took Joseph's money, and entered the code of [Alien Fluid] into his helmet so that he can use it in the game."

"Albert, how many people know this code?"

“…… No more than three. [Alien Liquid] is equivalent to a string of virus codes, if a dog leaks out, or if it is used by someone with a heart in the [Minghe System], even we can't control the development of things. Therefore, I have always been careful and careful when it comes to opening the [Alien Liquid] permissions, and I will never let people I don't trust interfere. ”

"Who are the other two?"

Scott, who was sitting in a chair with his back to him, did not seem to hear his explanation behind him, and only cared about the "no more than three" in front.

“…… It's my two assistants, they've been with me for twenty years, and they probably won't betray the organization for a little money. After all, in the past twenty years, the benefits that the organization has given them are much higher than the conditions that Joseph was able to prescribe. They don't have to lose a golden job just to get a tip. Albert's determination, but a little hoarse.

When the [Hunter] used the [Alien Liquid] for the first time in the [Minghe System], he received an alert from the system.

Then, he led the team to start checking through tens of millions of codes from scratch day and night, and finally found a string of foreign code that was accidentally added to the game, which was from a helmet in the hands of a certain [hunter], not an editing error in their own system.

As for how this code ended up in Joseph's hands, and how it was added to the helmet, he had no clue.

That's all he could do.

The rest is beyond his capabilities as chief bioengineer.

“…… I know, I'll look into Joseph's background. After a while, Scott finally relented, "After all, he is the first one who dares to rape a repeat offender in the virtual system, this person, you can't underestimate it." ”

"Joseph seems to have a relationship with the criminal codenamed Duke...... Albert said, pulling out a box-sized recording device and placing it on Scott's desk.

He pressed the button and replayed Joseph's conversation with the duke—

……

[Why, I don't remember what I left behind? 】

[What do you want to do...... Yes, it's you...... I remember you...... I remember ......]

Hmph, I thought you had forgotten about it. Little bitch, do you see this scar on my neck, you bit it at the time. Even if you leave me now, even if you change your appearance now, these traces will always be evidence, and you will never be able to get rid of me. 】

……

"Other than that, the Duke seemed a little delirious afterwards, but what she said to Icarus also seemed a little strange......" Albert said, playing a second recording of the Duke.

……

[Please don't hit me, please...... I won't resist, I'll be obedient...... I'll lie back on the cot and I'm not going to run away anymore......]

[He...... He was Joseph. He tied me to the attic and he wouldn't let me see my mother...... He tied me to the bed and he imprisoned me...... Every time I escape, I will be caught by him, and I will be ...... by him and by him]

……

"Hmph, Joseph, this perverted old man, I'm afraid that he entered the [Minghe System] with a purpose." Scott's voice was filled with disgust.

“…… Do we still have to provide him with the identity of the Hunter? ”

"Pinch out this video of Joseph and the Duke in the [Minghe System] video, I don't want any third party to know about it."

Scott's meaning is very clear, this matter cannot be known to people in the government department.

"Yes." Albert thought about it, but felt that it was inappropriate, "It's easy to delete the traces, but Joseph was not the only one present at the time, other [hunters] were also involved in this matter, should we ......?"

"They don't dare to do anything." Scott interrupted Albert, "Just because they're also participants, they don't dare to give out a word." What's more, the detailed information of those people is in our hands, and if we poke this matter out and terminate the operation of the [Minghe System], they don't want to be alone. ”

"Yes."

"I'm just worried about ...... Will there be a second [Hunter] who also has permission to use [Alien Liquid]? ”

Scott said, the chair he was sitting in was slightly facing Albert behind him.

Albert's heart thumped, and he knew that this unkind sentence was meant for him.

“…… You can rest assured, I will work with Hill of the Science and Technology Engineering Department to do a good job of safety work, and develop a code inspection device in the shortest possible time, install it on the host of the [Minghe System], and terminate the use of the code immediately once there is an external code of [Alien Liquid]. ”

Scott was in no hurry to take a stand.

Albert pondered for a moment and added, "In one week, we bring together the top software engineers, technology engineers, and bioengineers in the company, and we can complete the code inspection device in one week. ”

"No, three days." Scott gave a death order, "A new round of the game is about to begin, I don't care what means you use, you must do a good job of code patrol within three days, I will not allow this to happen again." ”

“…… Be. ”

Albert had no choice but to reluctantly take on the almost impossible task.

Although he has become the chief bioengineer of the world-class Cole company, in the final analysis, he is only a part-time worker, and there is never room for bargaining in front of the capitalists.

"You go back to your mission first."

"Yes." Albert sighed imperceptibly.

He turned to leave when he heard Scott's voice behind him.

"Albert, you called me the scenographer of the [Minghe System], and I suddenly had a novel idea."

"Thoughts?" Albert paused and looked back at the back of Scott's chair.

Scott chuckled: "Have you heard about a murder and burglary at 92 Lexington Avenue recently?" ”

"I heard." Albert nodded, he suddenly understood what Scott meant, "Difficult, do you want to ......?"

"Interesting, isn't it." Scott muttered, his eyes still looking into the distance, but the blueprint of the new world had been drawn in his mind.
