Chapter 2 The City of Mathione II

Maribo, the next-generation information device developed by Synx, has only produced nearly 100 units on the entire Roman continent, and few people can get their hands on it. It is said that the release of other regions except for the island of Yin Mist has been postponed because of security issues, and now Eleftherio is holding a Maribo in his hand, which if other Synx developers know, they will definitely not only envy, but more importantly, if this banned device falls into the hands of an ordinary Synx employee, Eleftherio will definitely not have a good time.

"OMG! It's definitely not a free lunch. Eleftherio thought to himself.

"Can't be excited, who the hell wants me to use this machine?" Elesevrio looked around to make sure there was no one and slipped the machine into the envelope.

As the day wore on, Eleftherio scrambled out the envelope (Maribo) from his desk and placed it in his briefcase, hurried out of the company building. As dusk came, Eleftherio walked through the streets of the city-state with his briefcase. The eyes of passers-by were always lifeless, as usual.

"Am I the only right being?" Eleftherio looked back at the Synx logo from afar.

Back in his apartment, Eleftherio opened his laptop and desktop computer with an Ethernet cable. He quickly swiped his hands across the two mice, tapped on the two keyboards, and opened the Onion Browser, creating a private window. At the other end of the window was a man who called himself Li Ling.

"Q:"Eleftherio input."

"The first hacker?" The other party replied.

"Arun" Eleftherio input.

“T.” The other party replied.

"Connection Security, Emergency Level: RED, Location: Mathione City Exhibition Center Café." Eleftherio inputs.

“32hrs.” The other party replied.

Eleftherio turned off his computer, unplugged the Ethernet cable and switched to a Synx wireless network connection device.

"Whew-" Elefserio sighed as he had just contacted someone wanted by Synx.

He placed the envelope under his desk, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

"BeepBeepBeep~~" The phone rang.

Eleftherio rolled over and fell out of bed with a thud, his ass pressed against his phone.

"Alas, make no mistake, what is this so hard......" he reached for his phone.

“Dec 24th, Chromium 1077,-220° FC“

"Let's go to church today, Sunday......," said Eleftherio, putting on his coat and walking out the door.

People on the streets are preparing for Christmas, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the silver snow on the ground is reflecting white light. Christmas trees and snowmen are erected in front of the shops, and pedestrians on the street talk about their daily lives.

"Have you heard? Synx is going to launch a brand new product, it seems to be called Maribo. "A girl was chatting with her friend.

"No, it's Maribo II, it seems that the first Maribo was not released because of a technical problem."

"yes, then this Maribo II is not long away from going on sale, and I don't know if the second one should be bought if the previous one fails."

In winter, when the wind was bitterly cold, Eleftherio walked towards the church in the wind. The children in front of the door held hands and sang Christmas carols, which seemed to Eleftherio to be false. He entered the church, and when he opened the door, a hot breath greeted him. Eleftherio sat down in an empty seat and listened quietly to the penitent's prayer to the priest.

"It's all arranged, isn't it?" Eleftherio asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" A man sitting behind him asked rhetorically.

"Religion, society, and even the singing kids out there......"

"Did you receive an email from us?"

Eleftherio jerked his head back, and a very peaceful man was looking ahead and smiling.

"Who are you?" Eleftherio asked in surprise.

"I am Pastor Jackson, and John Claudius has assigned me to assist you in your work in the city of Mathione. I think you've already met him in person. ”

"John Claudius? This ......," Elefserio was confused, "is it the postman?" ”

"It doesn't matter, the point is, why don't you trust us and go to a friend for help?" The priest was still looking ahead and smiling.

Eleftherio jerked to his feet and turned to leave the church. At this time, Jackson grabbed him, smiled and said, "There is no destiny in this world, everything is just God's arrangement." He walked straight out of the church, where the world of silver and the candlelight of the church seemed to contradict each other, and the door of the church was closed, leaving Eleftherio alone in the snow.

He rushed back to his apartment, only to see that the two computers plugged into the Synx Wi-Fi connection were full of gibberish characters.
