In a good team, everyone should be indispensable.

There is no doubt that Thompson and Dorliwan are very important technical talents, if they did not go against the company and make a big mistake, each other's abilities can be mixed up in any high-tech company in the United States, but they chose to self-destruct their future, on the surface they said that they were suspected of revealing the company's important secrets to the outside world to make the group lose to the island of battle royale mode, but the actual situation even Chen An did not get to the bottom of the problem.

Just because he doesn't ask doesn't mean he doesn't care.

Thompson's powerful hacking technology, Dorina's brilliant R&D technology, it stands to reason that such characters are like treasures in ordinary high-tech enterprises, but Felix Group says exile, is it that there are more talents in this world than them, or is their behavior offended the reverse scale that the group will never forgive?

"Thompson, Dorriwan, I want to have a good chat with you. ”

Soon after returning to the residence, Chen An directly approached the two of them, and the location was Thompson's room.

"Linsha, you go out first. ”

Seeing this, Thompson, who was discussing things with Doriwan, quietly gave his wife a look and called him out.

"Mr. An, do you have anything to do with us?"

After Linsha left, Thompson invited Chen An to sit down on the small sofa in the room, and the two sat down and asked Chen An.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor. Chen An got straight to the point.

"Mr. An, you are our savior, if there is anything that can help you, we will definitely do our best. Thompson said.

"I need your technical help......"

As he spoke, Chen An told all the plans he was going to deal with the members of the group's board of directors.

Thompson and Dorivan glanced at each other, and finally Thompson said with a dilemma.

"Mr. An, I'm sorry we can't help you in this matter, you and I both understand the serious consequences of being involved in this matter, and now Dorivan and I just want to live a stable life. ”

"I see. Chen An sighed lightly. "Until then, I had questions that I had been wanting to ask you. ”

"Mr. An, please speak. Thompson said hurriedly.

"Who are you?" said Chen An with a blank expression.

"Mr. An, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that we are ......," Thompson said with a stunned expression.

"Do you want to say that you are just employees of an ordinary high-tech company, and as a result, you leaked company secrets and caused the group to leave you to fend for yourself on the island?" Chen An interrupted. "I didn't want to ask about your past because we needed a foundation of trust for cooperation, but now you should be telling me the truth, right?"

"Mr. Ann......" Thompson said still at a loss.

"During the time I was in hiding in the Republic of Waricho, I looked up a lot of information, including your identity...... To be honest, your resume seems very normal to outsiders, and even I can't find fault with it, but after I learned about it, I had doubts about your true identity. Chen An looked at Thompson in a calm tone. "When I interrogated Felix Group executive Anderson, he once said that half a year before the game was held, the group had given him a list of mergers and acquisitions, and your company was among them...... However, you jumped to this company half a month before the merger and reorganization was launched. ”

"Mr. An, job hopping is a common thing in the workplace, what does that mean?" Thompson said.

"It's true that it's normal to change jobs in the workplace, but it's not normal for you to change jobs. Chen An smiled slightly. "Before you made the move, you worked for a large communications company with strong ties to the military, but eight months before the game was launched, you gave up your promising job and quit your job in favor of what you call the obscure high-tech company...... It's a strange thing for you to change jobs, firstly, the new company offers a lower salary than your old communications company, and secondly, the new company is several large states away from where you live, and you can find a better job locally, but you choose to work in a foreign state where you don't know your life...... Do you want me to say more about the rest?"

"Mr. An, it turns out that you have been suspicious of us. Doriwan, who had been silent, spoke.

"It's normal to be suspicious. Chen An looked at Duoli Wandao, who was usually low-key to the point of being a thin presence. "I now have reason to believe that you were hired by another party to investigate something in a secret syndicate. ”

Bang Bang Bang –

"Mr. An, I have to say that your suspicions are very keen. Dorivan suddenly clapped his hands and chuckled. "Although we can disagree with what you said, I am afraid that in your heart you have already confirmed the facts of your own guess, right?"

"Because you have exposed too many feet. Chen An said lightly.

"yes, after all, who made us not professional agents. Dorivan shook his head, and then looked right. "Mr. An, we are not enemies, you and I have what we want, and under this premise, perhaps we can reach a mutually beneficial basis for cooperation. ”

"Who are you?" said Chen.

"We can't say, but you just need to know that the people who hired us are just as conspiring with the Felix Group as you are. Doriwan, who took over the topic, said solemnly. "You want revenge, and we want something else, and our needs don't conflict. ”

"So you let the group go to that island because your identities were exposed?" Chen An said.

"Exposure is not enough, to be precise, some of our actions have been met with suspicion. "Dolly Wandao. "The group didn't do it directly, it is estimated that it was intended to involve the people behind us by fishing, but unfortunately, thanks to your relationship, they failed to fish......"

"Do you know the other members of the group's board of directors?" Chen asked.

"One, we know one person other than the one you say. "Dolly Wandao.

"Who is he?"

"A whip in the House of Representatives of the United States. "Dorivan has come up with a name that is a household name in the world.

"Tsk, it seems that I have been underestimating the energy of the group. Chen An sighed.

"It is precisely the energy of the group that is so large that it has seriously damaged the interests of one party, so we have it. "Dolly Wandao.

"Do you have the ability to clean up the mess?" said Chen.

"As long as it's not something too much. "Dolly Wandao.

"It's a pleasure to work together, please be ready for the next few days, and I will carefully plan the next phase of concrete actions. Chen An stood up and said.

......

......

"How did you convince them, coercion or inducement?"

Hearing the news that Thompson and Doliwan agreed to cooperate, Ed immediately found Chen An to ask the reason.

"It's not as simple as you think. ”

Chen An looked at the large golden and full wheat fields in the distance in a daze.

"What do you mean?" Ed bewildered.

"After this incident, I'm afraid you'll need to find another retreat that no one knows about. Chen Andao.

"Including you?" said Eddard thoughtfully.

"It's not just us. Chen Andao.

"......," Ed chuckled to himself, and instead looked with him at the wheat field. "I love the cleanliness here. ”

"Me too. Chen Andao.

"But why can't you let go of the obsession in your heart and enjoy this purity?" said Eddard with a leisurely gaze. "I couldn't let go of it like you before, but now I do. ”

"I don't know. Chen Andao. "My heart told me that you should get justice, otherwise your heart and mind will not be able to reach it, and recently, I suddenly realized an interesting thing. ”

"Interested in talking about it?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, every time I act seems to be driven by my own subjective consciousness, I often habitually ignore a being. Chen Andao. "The person who drives me is not my subjective consciousness, but something that is subtly influencing my subjective consciousness. ”

“...... I think you need to take a good break. Ed tapped him on the shoulder.

"You think I'm insane?" Chen An shrugged. "It's true that saying such inexplicable things does seem to outsiders to be mentally problematic, and in fact I shouldn't have said it, but I said it anyway, do you know why?"

"I don't know. ”

"It's simple, it's just what I want to say. ”

“...... I'll go first. ”

The corners of Ed's mouth twitched, and he turned and walked towards the residence.

Behold, this is the loneliness and reality that no one understands.

Ed's departure is a normal thing, and what is not normal is Chen An.

Since that loss of control, in addition to reflection, he began to suspect another special situation.

As he said, are all my actions driven by my subjective consciousness, or is there something affecting his subjective consciousness?

It was not surprising that he would have this question, because he had been ignoring the mysterious substance in his mind.

In the past, he had always used it as a medium for him to travel through time and space, but would it affect his subjective consciousness and thinking?

Thinking back to the world he experienced, in the first world, if he hadn't suddenly "whimstruck" to pry open the stone slab of the temple, would he have had the next thrilling situation? In the second world, if he hadn't encountered the little girl, mother and daughter ambushed by the robbers, would he have killed all sides next? In this world, if he hadn't landed on the island under the battle royale, would he still have the current entanglement with the group?

Carefully analyzing these seemingly coincidental events, his every move seems to have disturbed the original historical line, what would the original history be like without his appearance? If the mysterious substance in his mind really affected his subjective consciousness and thinking, what was its purpose?

For a moment, he very much wanted to give up his revenge.

But once he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel irritable and anxious, as if his emotions could get out of control again at any time.

Now all kinds of signs point to the mysterious substance in his mind, if Chen An hadn't accidentally discovered this in his introspection, he wouldn't have known how long he would have been in the dark.

What is the purpose of your choice of me?

Chen An asked many times in his mind, but he never responded.

Still, he had a premonition in his mind, perhaps, in the near future.

It will give itself the answer.

Now, he's just a knife, a tool, a puppet.

......

......

Life on the farm is not boring or boring, despite the remote location, but the signal network is still available, which generally does not give people the feeling of being isolated from the world, and Chen An has been making a plan of action around Elbert for a while, after all, he is the easiest target to deal with.

Thompson and Dorivan check his itinerary online and choose the right time to start based on this, while Eddard's job temporarily brings Shirley's familiarity and contact with the underground world to arrange a series of logistics such as getting guns and ammunition at the operation location, evacuating vehicles, human skin masks, and new identity documents.

When Shirley adapts to the logistics position, Ed will serve as Chen An's deputy to cooperate with the cover plan for frontal operations.

It turns out that the strength of the team is far higher than the efficiency of the individual, and many things cannot be done by Chen An alone, such as Thompson can hack into the city's surveillance system, disrupt the alarm, and at the same time formulate the best escape route for him in the rear, which perfectly reflects the importance of technical support when he was surrounded by the group and the police in the Republic of Waricho.

Two months passed, the plan was revised several times, and the team was almost running-in, Chen An finally decided to officially start the operation.

Naturally, there was a parting before the operation, because Thompson and Dorrivan's wife had to stay on the farm, and the others were ready to go to the site of the scheduled operation, Pandra, the capital of the old power of the Busitanian Empire.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not very good, Thompson and Dorrivan's wife did not say anything on the surface, but secretly they had been opposed to their husbands joining the operation, and even with Chen An, they were not as friendly as they used to be, and Shirley had fallen into a long cold war with each other since he said he was going to leave last time.

After the dinner was hastily ended, they all went back to their rooms, and in the early hours of the morning, Shirley knocked on Chen An's door.

"You don't rest so late?"

Opening the door, Chen An looked at Shirley with a cold expression.

"I want to talk to you. ”

With that, Shirley squeezed straight into his room.

"What do you want to say?" Chen An turned off and looked at Shirley who was sitting on the bed. "If it was last time, I'm sorry, I won't change my decision. ”

"Are you so ruthless? Have you never loved me?" Shirley clenched her fists and stared at Chen Andao.

"It is undeniable that I have a crush on you, but this crush has not risen to the level of dependent love. Chen An said bluntly. "You're still young, and I'm not a good person, and you'll find something better to rely on in the future. ”

"You're a scumbag!"

Shirley pounced on her, grabbing Chen An's collar with both hands and crying.

"......," Chen An said in silence for a long time. "In order to make amends, I can grant you a request that I can. ”

"Okay! My request is ......"
