Chapter 126: The Leaker
Four weeks have passed since the start of school, and Zhang Heng has gradually resumed his previous routine.
In addition to attending classes and practicing cars, he continued to allocate the rest of his time to fitness and various skills, and at the same time, in view of the increasing frequency of supernatural events around him, he also began to systematically understand and learn about the myths and legends of various places.
In addition to these things, Zhang Heng also launched a preliminary investigation into what happened in Greenland 17 years ago.
Judging from his father's reaction before, that incident was obviously related to him, and there was an old man in Tang costume, which made Zhang Heng very concerned. Although his father said that he would tell him one day, Zhang Heng didn't plan to just wait passively.
Since it is a non-governmental scientific research activity, it should not leave a trace without a trace.
Zhang Heng didn't know what the name of the expedition project was and the name of the expedition team, but he had a photo left from seventeen years ago in his hand, and there was still a lot of information on it, such as the name of the sponsoring company on the backpack......
However, it is a pity that the results of the search show that the travel agency applied for bankruptcy as early as half a year after the end of the scientific expedition, Zhang Heng then checked its founding time, and found that it was registered a year before the scientific expedition, so the probability that this travel agency is a shell company established specifically for this scientific research is very high.
And this also made Zhang Heng even more curious, what was the purpose of this scientific research that the old man in Tang pretended to have wasted so much effort.
In addition to Zhang Heng's parents and the old man in Tang costumes, there were nineteen other people in the scientific expedition team, and then Zhang Heng used Facesaerch to compare their appearances, and the result was that some similar pictures were really captured through Google's face search engine, and Zhang Heng identified four people from them.
One of them was an expedition guide, one was a doctor, and two turned out to be retired Navy SEALs.
After that, Zhang Heng found two of them on Facebook and one on Twitter.
However, it is a pity that Zhang Heng did not find any very effective information on Twitter after browsing in a circle, and the two people who use Facebook are in a non-public privacy state, because they don't know what their real identities are, Zhang Heng did not act rashly, and the first phase of the investigation can only be temporarily shelved.
However, Zhang Heng is sure of one thing, that is, this scientific research is not as simple as his grandfather said, just an archaeological investigation and ruins exploration, the addition of the two former Navy SEALs is the best evidence, but what Zhang Heng cares about the most is the doctor.
It is not uncommon for the team to be accompanied by doctors, especially when the scientific research team goes to an inaccessible and harsh place, and medical personnel can accompany them to ensure safety, but the doctor assigned to the scientific research team 17 years ago is a psychologist.
Why should a team traveling to Greenland for an expedition to ancient ruins be staffed by a psychiatrist?
Zhang Heng's mouse hovered on the Facebook page of the psychiatrist named Marshall, and he felt that he might need to take some time to go to Greenland for a personal walk. But before that, he first needs to finish a new round of the game before the end of the month.
Zhang Heng came to the bar lounge at 11:42, this time he still chose the solo mode, after setting the alarm clock, he took a sip of the mojito in his hand, put down the wine glass, and closed his eyes on the sofa.
The aroma of mint leaves and lemon wedges spread through his throat, and at the same time, the familiar feeling of dizziness welled up in his head, and the next moment a system prompt sounded in his ears.
【Player Identity Verification......
[Verification passed, the sixth round of dungeons is being randomly selected for player number 07958......]
[Draw Complete - The current copy is the leaker]
"The Internet, the foundation of the information society, is a vast global network connected by universal protocols, and its birth has completely changed the way of life of human beings and made everyone's life more convenient. Today, human beings can no longer live without the Internet, but the controversy about Internet security has never stopped since its inception, which side will you choose? ”
[Objective: Help Edward escape or help Zero capture Edward]
[Mode: Solo Competition]
[Time Flow: 360] (1 hour in the real world is equal to 15 days in the game, and the player is forced to return to the real world after 90 days)
As a friendly reminder, the game will officially start in five seconds, so please be prepared.
Before the countdown was over, the sound of the slot machine came to Zhang Heng's ears, mixed with the sound of footsteps and talking, and the sound of chips falling.
Casino? Zhang Heng opened his eyes and found himself standing in a huge casino.
Under his feet is a soft carpet, on the left hand side are two rows of slot machines, in the upper left corner is a white tiger head, and below there are four Chinese dragons and tigers, tourists drop coins, pull down the lever, the five rows of patterns on the glass screen will begin to rotate, when the rotation stops, a special pattern appears, the slot machine will spit out money, of course, more often your money is simply lost.
Zhang Heng took a step, directly in front of him is a huge wooden roulette, many people believe that roulette is the fairest game, because no one controls the odds, theoretically no matter how you bet, the odds of winning the bet in the end are certain, there is no difference between the master and the rookie in this game.
At the table behind the roulette wheel, there are six people playing blackjack, which is a poker game that originated in France, and the game is simply to make the number of cards in your hand as close to 21 as possible without more than 21 points, and then compare the size of the points with the dealer to determine whether you win or lose.
Unlike roulette, blackjack also has an element of luck, but on the other hand, it is also a highly skillful game, which is basically a necessary skill for professional gamblers.
There was a previous movie "Winning 21" about how a group of MIT used mathematics to win money at the poker table, and the prototype Chinese students used this set of winning tips to roll up $5 million at the gaming table, which shocked the card counting world.
This algorithm was later announced, and it is no secret now, but because it requires a lot of mental arithmetic, it also needs to go through continuous training, and at the same time, casinos are constantly improving their response methods, even if ordinary people know it, it is useless.
Two players at the table were frustrated after a new round of dealing, one of them got up and left, and the remaining four became more cautious and fell into the hesitation of whether to bid or not.
Zhang Heng's gaze swept over the people nearby, since the game began, he has been trying to observe the surroundings, according to Miss Bartender, the chance of encountering a single competition copy in a single row is not large, about one in six, but what Zhang Heng didn't expect was that he actually lined up two solo competitions in a row.
This means that there are other players in this quest besides him.
