Chapter 105: Identifying Symbols
There can be no mistake.
Today is January 1, the year 379 of the Jialan calendar.
It's just an ordinary day in the Empire, but for the United Kingdom it's the most solemn holiday - the Apocalypse.
Apocalypse Day is an annual festival in the United Kingdom.
Being in the Empire, of course, you can't risk being exposed to celebrate the New Year of the Kingdom just because you are a spy of the Kingdom, which is of course understandable, and Ori does not doubt Vega's identity because of this.
But the moment Ori closes the door, he begins to suspect Vega's identity.
As for the reason?
This is, of course, because today is the most important 1st day.
He stood outside the door for a few minutes, then immediately headed for Bruno's office.
Knock knock.
Knocking on the door a few times eagerly, Bruno said, "Lord Chief, my subordinate Ori asks to see you." ”
Squeak –
The assistant opened the door, and when Ori entered the office, he did not follow up, but consciously retreated to the door, carefully closing the door, and scanning the surroundings with a wary gaze.
"Lord Director, subordinates ......"
"It's all done?"
Bruno stopped the quill pen in his hand, pushed the map of Kareni that had been painted with red markers on the table, and then took the bottle directly, and rudely poured a few sips of red wine, then asked with bloodshot eyes that had not slept.
Even if the elegance of a gentleman has ceased to be gone.
But now Bruno looks even less angry and more threatening.
Ori's heart trembled, and for the first time he had seen such a director: "Mr. Mage is very pleased with your gift, and says that no matter where you are, your friendship with the director will definitely stand the test and be unbreakable. ”
"Good. ”
Bruno said with satisfaction: "The status of a magician in the Gasiri branch is self-evident, and for 5,000 gold coins, you can make a core person, which is not a loss than buying and selling no matter how you look at it." ”
"The Director ...... Wisely"
"Huh?"
Bruno's eyes became a little sharp when he heard Ori's hesitant tone: "Ori, you don't have something to hide from me. ”
"My subordinates do have something to report. ”
Ori organized his words and said, "I just accidentally discovered that the identification symbol on Mr. Mage's neckline has not changed. ”
Bang.
The bottle in Bruno's hand fell on the table, wetting the map of Kareni that he had worked hard all night to make, his expression already frozen on his face, and a bean-sized cold sweat slid down his forehead.
"Y-Are you sure you're right?"
"It's true. Ori said with great certainty.
Bruno slapped the table: "Nightingale, quick, catch that damn 007 for me, don't let him take a step out of the General Bureau of Law Enforcement, if you can't be captured alive, you are allowed to kill him on the spot." ”
Bang.
The office door was blown open by a storm, and then fell silent.
"Ori. ”
Bruno couldn't even wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and immediately gave an order: "Now grant you Level 2 authority, immediately mobilize the mage team to block the entrances and exits of the General Administration of Law Enforcement, and before receiving my order, you are not allowed to enter or exit, and at the same time notify all departments of the General Administration of Law Enforcement to assist Nightingale in capturing 007." ”
"Yes, Director. ”
Ori immediately walked out of the office.
Bruno paced back and forth in the room, forcing himself to calm down and think carefully about what was missing from the whole process, because it was a matter of his own life.
Why are you so nervous?
And why is it so easy to recognize Vega's identity?
This is, of course, because the identifier of the espionage system is the identification of each member of the organization.
This identifier is changed every month.
The United Kingdom Espionage Headquarters produces a 'timetable for the transformation of identifiers' and sends it to the branch chiefs of each branch, who then inform the regional chief at the beginning of each month, and the regional chief will notify each member of the espionage organization at the intermediary.
In this top-down approach, the identifiers of the members of the organization can be updated every month.
This schedule generally changes every 4 years.
That is to say, during these four years, only the branch chiefs of each branch know all the identification symbols during the four years, because the number of branch chiefs is not large, and their loyalty is naturally undoubted.
It is this way of updating the identification symbols in a timely manner.
The United Kingdom's espionage system has largely eliminated the infiltration of hostile forces, and it is easier to identify whether it is friend or foe in the performance of its mission, and the identification symbol is the most effective proof of identity of the Kingdom's espionage organization.
Usually.
Each member of the organization will be informed of the new identifier at the beginning of the month.
However, there is an exception, that is, the members of the organization who need to perform tasks outside for a long time and cannot receive the new identifiers in time at the beginning of the month, and the branch chief will generally tell him all the identifiers for 1-3 months in advance, depending on the expected time of the mission.
Other words.
Vega was supposed to put on a new identifier as soon as 0:00 a.m. this morning, but he didn't.
The identification symbol is the most direct, effective, and important proof of identity of the spy system.
No member will forget to keep this matter up to date.
If you don't update this symbol in a timely manner, then it means that you are not an internal member of the organization at all.
This is also the reason why Bruno was terrified when he learned the news.
His identity, his plan, no matter what, could not be revealed at this time, and at this time he finally realized that Vega's performance yesterday was obviously full of loopholes, and it was ridiculous that he was convinced after a little temptation because of preconceived reasons.
Meanwhile.
Vega didn't know he was exposed.
He was leaning on the balcony on the 7th floor, thinking about whether to get out of the law enforcement bureau now, but he was afraid that the nightingale was watching him, and if he made that kind of move, he was afraid that he would be suspected of his identity.
He rubbed his temples irritably.
Vega shifted his attention for a moment and looked down.
I saw that the law enforcement team below was going in and out.
Soon, however, a team of mages armed with staffs, cloaks, or spellcasting agents on their chests began to cordon off the fence and around the gate, and several teams from inside the gate who were about to walk out of the law enforcement bureau seemed to be arguing with them, as if they were not allowed to enter or leave.
Knock Knock Knock –
Vega didn't pay much attention because there was a knock on the door at this time.
"Who?"
Vega's vigilance was raised again, after all, in the enemy's base camp, basic vigilance was still required.
A dull voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. 007, under the nightingale, I have come to ask Mr. for a description on the order of the director, and the director has some arrangements to ask you for advice." ”
Vega frowned.
He didn't doubt it too much, but he was uneasy about what to do with Bruno next, after all, it was dancing on a tightrope, and even the slightest mistake would have broken him to pieces.
Da Da Da –
Vega walked towards the door, ready to open the door for the nightingale.
