Shixia City, Qinwan District.

It's past midnight, and this crowded city can finally breathe.

The tall buildings stood silently in the city, and the moonlight cast their shadows on the road, and the long shadows climbed all the way to the opposite building, as if trying to extinguish the lights that were on.

Some people say that Shixia City is a microcosm of the big world. Some people are born to be the masters here, and every morning and dusk here belongs to them; There are also some people who, for the rest of their lives, will not be able to get half of the city's kindness.

35th floor of the Treehouse Building, Operations Command Center.

The staff on this floor rotates 24 hours a day, from morning to night, and some "operators" who have worked on the New York Stock Exchange said that compared with the command center, the New York Stock Exchange seems to be more idle.

Tonight it was very windy, and there was a light rain, and the rain kept falling on the glass, and it was dragged by the strong wind. According to the news released by the Shixia Meteorological Observatory in the morning, Typhoon "Papong" has entered the South China Sea.

As long as it doesn't land, everyone is happy to have a few days of cool in this hot summer.

The operators of the shift had already been handed over, and only Fang Yeyou and his secretary Lu Qiu were still in the command center.

Fang Yeyou was slightly tired, sitting on the high-backed chair of the command platform, holding his forehead with his left hand. In the past, he insisted on "working at sunrise and resting at sunset" because he gave the firing squad a high degree of decision-making power on the spot.

On the holographic screen surrounding the command platform, the flow of information sorted by plate is constantly refreshing. Fang Yeyou used gestures to flip through the reports that the operators had sorted out and that each action group had fed back.

The Administration Department shared some of the data of the Sky Mirror with the command center, but Fang Yeyou only left a small window for it on the screen on the left, and he didn't look at it much himself. Every day, the operator below first summarized the important information, and then Lu Qiu picked out some things that she thought were valuable, printed them out and presented them to Fang Yeyou.

Most of the information shared by Tianjing was related to the Brain of the World, and Fang Yeyou had always directly chosen to skip it.

In his own words, the "Sky Mirror" of the treehouse and the "Orion" of the brain of the world are a pair of sworn enemies who deceive each other, and both systems will release a lot of false news on the Internet, who is serious and who is mentally retarded.

When the Bahrain Lake Action Team went to Australia, in order not to be discovered by the Brain of the World, Treehouse directly arranged for people to send a large number of data packets to the outside of Buckingham Palace.

When "Orion" cracked these packets and retrieved the keyword "Divine Tree Seed", the Brain of the World transferred almost all the Level 5 Hunters to Buckingham Palace.

(Note: The hunters of the "Hunter Organization" are divided into 1-5 levels according to the comprehensive evaluation from low to high.) ）

These fiery hunters were mistaken for terrorists by the Praetorian Guards guarding Buckingham Palace, and almost clashed. Fortunately, there was no shortage of British dignitaries on the board of directors of the World Brain, and they came forward, so they did not make a big deal out of it.

The brains of the world who have been tricked have also learned the trick of the treehouse, and they release "smoke bombs" with keywords such as "sacred tree seeds", "tombs", and "knights" almost every day around the world.

Because of this, Huaiming also approached Fang Yeyou several times, hoping that he would send an action team to investigate. However, Fang Yeyou didn't pay attention to it, the key was only available in the tree house, what if they found the tomb, didn't they have to ask us to open it?

Soon after that, Orion screened out An Zeru in China, and the analysis believed that she was a "spiritual" knight.

After Buckingham Palace's big oolong this time, the brain of the world will be skeptical of Orion's discovery this time. On the other hand, those level 5 hunters who were transferred to the UK were too far away from China, and it would be too late for them to rush back.

It just so happened that the Level 4 hunter Chiba Sake Brewer was investigating the whereabouts of "Tong Wanning" in China, and the girl was identified as a descendant of the devil and had escaped the hunt of the hunter organization twice:

The first time was in Shanghai, where Tong Wanning killed 41 hunters on the coastline, and only the level 4 hunter Wei Shu survived; Later, Wei Shu found Tong Wanning again and carefully set a trap, but instead buried himself in molten steel.

As a result, the Brain of the World authorized Chiba Sake Brewer to serve as a temporary on-site commander and organize a subordinate hunter to bring An Zeru back nearby.

"Commander-in-chief." Lu Qiu handed a folder to Fang Yeyou, it was the information that Tianjing had sent over these days, and she had just sorted it out.

"If you don't want to read it, read it to me." Fang Yeyou leaned back, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.

These days, he has been paying attention to the action group that has been scattered after the "Bahrain Lake Incident", and the domestic action group has been fully rolled out, and several of the teams have focused on investigating Anzeru's background, but there are no valuable finds; The operation team sent to South Korea has only begun to enter the investigation in the past two days, and there is no news.

"Okay," Lu Qiu flipped through the folder, "World Brain ······"

"Next."

Fang Yeyou had already guessed that the first one was definitely about the brain of the world, did they want to play this trick all the time? It was indeed his idea to send false information at Buckingham Palace in the first place, but now the Brain of the World is counting on annoying him in this way?

"There are three new cases of missing persons linked to paleontologist Lin Xueci today, and the maximum distance between these missing persons is 2,534 kilometers, and the average time interval between the confirmed missing persons is 6.5 hours."

"Lin Xueci?" Fang Yeyou slowly opened his eyes, he remembered that this matter had been handed over to the Administration Department a few days ago, "His son is the intern that the library wants, right?" ”

"Yes, the intern's name was Lin Banwei, a graduate student in paleontology and a graduate of the University of Kansas, and Tianjing found that their father and son had searched for information on 'somatic cell exchange between arthropods and vertebrates' and 'the potential activity of non-calcified arthropod cells in fossils';

"Based on this, the library thought that they had intern qualifications, and it happened that the library's new special research on biomorphs lacked assistant researchers, so it entrusted the personnel department to send an invitation to both father and son," Lu Qiu said, "Lin Banwei accepted the invitation, but Lin Xueci declined." ”

"I remember that Lin Banwei can't be contacted, right?" Fang Yeyou asked.

"Yes, the Administration Department has communicated with Shamu Cruises, and the other party replied that according to the schedule, the Haizhexing has sailed to the blind spot of the satellite signal, and they cannot contact the Haizhexing for the time being." Lu Qiu replied.

"Since it has been handed over to the Administration Department, I will leave this matter alone for now." Fang Yeyou closed his eyes again.

Since the launch of the Sky Mirror system, according to statistics, similar incidents have occurred on average more than a thousand times a year in the world, and Fang Yeyou has seen it no surprise.

Normally, such unidentified incidents are referred to the Administration Department for preliminary investigation. Once it is characterized as a "redundant incident", the library will assist in the investigation and comparison, and finally set up a special report to the combat command center.

If certain incidents are difficult to characterize, or if the library does not produce strong evidence in a timely manner, the escalation to the operational command center will be much slower.

(Note: Medium-redundant events refer to events related to "Old Gods", "New Gods", "Devils", and "Messengers.") ）

After nearly ten minutes of briefing, Lu Qiu finally read the last one.

"According to incomplete statistics, the number of outbound passengers in the first half of this year is expected to increase by 14% year-on-year, and the number of outbound passengers this month is expected to increase by 71% year-on-year."

Fang Yeyou suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight after hearing this.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qiu put down the folder.

Fang Yeyou pondered for a moment before replying, "It's okay." ”

In fact, China's outbound travel consumption ranks first in the world, and it is common for the growth rate of outbound travel to fluctuate greatly. It's just that, thinking of what happened recently, Fang Yeyou felt that there was a lot of hidden meaning in it.

Fang Yeyou is one such person, even if he is sitting with you on a sunny green field, shaking a red wine glass in his hand, and talking to you about an anecdote about a wine estate, he may be thinking about the 30-meter giant forest python in the Amazon River, the giant sea creatures under the Antarctic ice, or the near-Earth satellite that has just been launched, but these things do not affect what he is doing at the moment.

But once a key thing appears, these things that are not related to the wind and horses will be like a bunch of scattered puzzle pieces, which are instantly put together into a dormant haze of "Satan Eaters".

"Tell me Pete, where are they?" Fang Ye You froze down.

Lu Qiu glanced at his watch and said, "I got off the plane three hours ago, stayed in the hotel for one night, and I should arrive this afternoon." ”

"Why didn't I see his report today?" Fang Yeyou began to wave his hand again, and the holographic screen quickly switched between the large number of documents with his gestures.

"Pete's report was not sent to the command center, it was sent directly to me," Lu Qiu picked up her tablet, found the document that Pete had just sent her, clicked on it, and handed it to Fang Yeyou.

Fang Yeyou took the tablet and asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Qiu couldn't help laughing and said, "The day before yesterday, you said that you would let you see him again, and you would send him to the library to be dissected, of course he doesn't dare to attract your attention now." ”

Fang Yeyou thought of his pool of koi fish and sighed helplessly. Pete's style of acting is indeed absurd, but he is a good piece of material, he needs to be beaten longer and more ruthlessly than others, and it is possible that he can succeed him as the commander-in-chief in the future.

Observation Report on Anzeru: (Mission Code NSC0002)

1. The target has no abnormal behavior on the way, and there is no long-term separation from the target except for normal relief.

2. After checking into the Fujing Hotel, there was a 48-minute separation from the target due to housing problems, and the observation has been re-established.

3. I have revealed the use of Ruma to the target object, and the target object has not shown obvious intentions.

4. The target object shows great interest in the history of the Protoss, and the frightened reaction after learning more about the history of the Protoss for the first time is weaker than that of ordinary people.

Presenter:

Firing Squad Leader Pete Hunter ID: TH03021197

After reading Pete's report, Fang Yeyou was silent for a long time, as if he had lost something. Lu Qiu left with interest, she knew that the conjecture of the commander-in-chief was gradually being confirmed, and he was right.

An Zeru is indeed a child, but she is definitely not a simple child.

She knows this herself.

(Please don't search for Satan's Eater out of curiosity.) ）
