Chapter 144: In Deeper Darkness (11)

Wang Yao paused, and continued with a solemn face:

“…… Of course, this is rarely the case. In the unlikely event that something is encountered, the machine will use the object's radio wave composition to distinguish whether the object is harmful or aggressive. Similarly, blue waves appear on the screen during normal times, and the situation will turn red. See the red button below the display? That's the panic button, if something doesn't go right, just press it and I'll be sucked up right away. Well, that's enough for you to know. I'm going to hold on now, maybe I can see the body of the man I just saw. ”

Qiao Liang stood aside, still staring at the various devices on the machine, distressedly recalling the purpose of each button, until he heard Wang Yao's last sentence suddenly came back to his senses and said in surprise:

"Wait, are you really going down? Why? You're already sure that the person who fell just now is dead, and there are robots that don't need to do such a dangerous thing, are you stupid? Why is it still ......?"

At this time, Wang Yao was squatting next to him and opened a box, and took out a one-piece suit similar to a biochemical suit but obviously much lighter, and replied impatiently while wearing it:

"I've told you this many times. You didn't hear that, did you? If you want to detect something, you can't go down with the machine. ”

As he spoke, he quickly put on the "biochemical suit", and took out a few small iron box-like things from the box and put them on several grooves in the jumpsuit. During this period, he inadvertently glanced at Qiao Liang, and found that the other party was standing inexplicably, so he explained casually:

"These are compressed air. The suit I am wearing is the latest multi-functional electromagnetic suit, it is strong enough to easily lift a 3-ton object without any damage, and when the main equipment turns on the emergency button, I can still return to the ground in 30 seconds even if I go down 1000 feet underground. ”

Qiao Liang was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he stumbled and sighed:

“…… Oh my God, are we really living in the same era? If you let others see these things, they will definitely think that you have crossed over! Oh my God, it turns out that when we ordinary people were living in a busy life, you people's scientific and technological research had reached this point? ”

Wang Yao smiled, an imperceptible bitterness flashed in his eyebrows, and said lightly:

“…… Right. Before I worked, I never thought that our country's science and technology had developed to such a point, and it might even be worse than that of a certain power, but it was just well hidden, after all, all these achievements were directly derived from some aspects, so I had to continue this strange work......"

Wang Yao was suddenly silent halfway through his words. As if realizing that he had said too much, he quickly tilted his head to the side, pretending that the topic he was discussing was not important.

————————

Of course, as an ordinary high school student, Qiao Liang didn't understand the meaning of Wang Yao's words, and he only said it casually when he narrated the whole process to Zhou Ji, but he didn't expect Zhou Ji to be stunned like a thunderbolt in the sky after hearing Wang Yao's vague gaffes. Just as Qiao Liang wanted to continue talking, he interrupted him abruptly and asked loudly with an excited expression:

"What do you say?! You repeat!? ”

Qiao Liang was startled, he didn't know where he said the wrong thing, and said cautiously:

"I ...... What did I say? Where is the repetition? ”

Zhou Ji was a little unable to control his emotions:

"You say, what did Wang Yao say to you when he talked about technology?"

Qiao Liang immediately repeated Wang Yao's words again. He also noticed Zhou Ji's abnormal reaction, and after finishing speaking, he stood aside strangely and did not continue to narrate what happened.

In fact, even if Qiao Liang still wanted to continue, Zhou Ji was not in the mood to listen to it at this time. His eyes widened, and his mind was constantly echoing several subtle points in Wang Yao's words:

"It's stronger than a certain country, it's just better to hide."

"These are benefits that come directly from somewhere."

"So I had to continue the weird work."

Yes! These three sentences are very wrong!

Zhou Ji's brain was thinking rapidly, although his thinking was still a little vague and confused, but he gradually figured it out:

First of all, the weird job that Wang Yao said is file 0376, the case of the Black Book Company, and it will definitely not be another case. And he, a genius agent with deep hiding, actually revealed the purpose of his work when he was chatting with a high school student! And this is the answer to the first question Zhou Ji had when he first participated in the mission, and it was simply ...... Lucky!

Zhou Ji's breathing became a little short. His state gradually changed from chaos to excitement.

What was his first question?

Naturally, this is a question that everyone will question, that is, why would an atheistic materialist country secretly admit the unreasonable and strange existence of the Black Book Company, and even set up a cross-century No. 0376 file investigation team specifically to investigate this "urban legend", and for more than 100 years, it has never stopped investing a lot of manpower and material resources in this unreasonable case in order to continue the investigation? You know, it is unlikely that the Black Book Company will give any ability to a certain big person at the top, that is to say, the person at the top may never have personally experienced the incident created by the Black Book Company, otherwise why would they desperately pursue and investigate?

After Zhou Ji raised this question to himself, everything returned to the origin of the problem:

Why did the boss keep secretly investigating the case of the Black Book Company?

This was originally something that Zhou Ji couldn't figure out no matter what, and it was difficult to even imagine the reason. But after a series of strange things he has experienced, it seems that he can vaguely see a part of the inside story hidden behind it:

Lin Xingcheng's appearance proves that there is a self-interest group within the organization that is secretly doing some small actions. And the leader of this organization, most likely a leader who currently occupies a very important position, can freely mobilize top agents such as Zhou Ji to do whatever he wants.

But the truth of the matter obviously does not end here. In Wang Yao's words to Qiao Liang, it was revealed that he, a genius agent, had gradually learned the purpose of the above's constant investigation of the Black Book Company in the process of work, because they had obtained some unexpected benefits in the process of investigation, and these benefits were the reason for the leap forward in national science and technology!

Zhou Ji thought of this, and only felt a chill all over his body.
