Chapter XVIII: Decisions of the Inspector General
"How are your injuries?" Tianyi asked tepidly as the consultant and the other four walked into the bookstore.
The advisor sneered, "I will never go out in the field again." β
Tianyi: "When the team grows stronger, the things you and the accountant have to deal with will be far more complicated and burdensome than going out to work." β
The advisor found a place to sit down, "Do you need me to introduce this person?"
Tianyi directly said to Specton, who was standing behind the advisor: "Night Knight, Mark Specton, long admiration, fortunate meeting." Although he said this, the listless look and the sitting posture that slumped in place showed that this was just a polite remark.
A person who doesn't even bother to get up and shake your hand with you, how can he talk about it for a long time?
Spoonon said: "Are you Tianyi, my asking price is very high, I don't know if the consultant has mentioned it to you." β
"When it comes to money, just find an accountant. The advisor interjected, "Don't do such a boring thing in front of the boss. β
Tianyi took a sip of coffee, he was very satisfied with the consultant's words, and borrowed the slope to get off the donkey to divert the "boring" topic: "Since everyone has arrived, prepare to teleport, and when you get to Beijing, you can ask Dr. Strander to check the consultant's injuries by the way." β
Before he could finish his sentence, the Gambling Snake silently walked over to a bookshelf and began to activate the transfer device.
Speculatively, Speculator, "What do you mean to teleport?" wait...... You're talking about Doctor Strander?"
The accountant continued: "Close the door first, and there will be plenty of time for you to ask questions in the future." β
At this time, the advisor said to Tianyi: "Is the matter over there arranged by Levi?"
"Yes, with a magic doctor and a toy marshal, it's naturally not a problem to get a son, not to mention that you also took the woman he admires as a hostage. "Tianyi said.
The advisor said: "People, it is true that I arrested her, but it was you who turned her into a 'hostage'." β
"Well, let's just think I caught it. Tianyi: "By the way, how are your actions?
"That's it, but something unexpected, otherwise I wouldn't have been hurt. The advisor replied, "When I hacked into their system, there happened to be a master on the side of the 'Apostle''s Western European switchboard, and she made an extremely effective response at the first time. Luckily, Destiny had an absolute advantage in performance, and she couldn't stop or detect my invasion at all, but it just made me work hard and delayed for a while. β
"Really...... Sure enough, Iron Ring also has top talents in computers, so how powerful do you think she is?" asked Tianyi.
The advisor looked at the ceiling, thought for two seconds, and said, "Better than me." β
"Oh?" Tianyi put down the coffee in his hand, and he seemed to be interested: "Then the range is very small." β
"It's not surprising, if you're looking for thirty of the best hackers in the world, I'm one, if you're looking for twenty, I'm probably one of them, but if you're just picking ten, I'm not going to be on this list. The advisor said: "Warlock is undoubtedly the top hacker on this planet, he is ranked first is common sense, Gates may be second, he is much worse than Warlock, but his comprehensive ability is more outstanding, of course, it is difficult to say between him and the others in the top ten that he is superior."
And the woman I met today must belong to the top ten, I think she is still very young, and in terms of her ability, in a few years, the 'apostle' is likely to surpass Gates's 'matrix' in her hands and become a better system. β
"So, in your judgment, will she have an impact on the next plan and increase the variables?" Tianyi asked.
The advisor smiled, "Ha...... How is that possible, who is the Warlock? He is simply a piece of pulled by the gods of the binary world, and he can scare his peers out with a few programs he wrote before the age of fifteen. Trying to challenge the system he created was a pipe dream. β
Tianyi replied: "Very good, then don't pay attention to her, and start playing the game as originally planned tomorrow." β
............
Three hours later, the County of the Crown, Rome, the headquarters of the Iron Order.
The Inspector General of the Holy Land, Agostino Lodovicco, was sitting behind his desk listening to the secretary's report. He was dressed in the uniform of a clergyman, with curly brown hair and a beard, kind eyebrows, a face flushed all year round, and a large bellied. There are often jokes within the Iron Ring that as long as he dyes his hair white, sticks a fake beard, and goes to Finland to participate in the Santa Claus imitation contest to be in the top three, it is a sure thing.
His secretary's name is Dasher, South American, with a curly beard, and ten minutes love jalapeΓ±o sauce. There are so many slots on this person's body that he can't spit out. First of all, his name (Daser, one of Santa's deer), and secondly, he was born in Northern Europe and has never spent a day in South America, except for his skin color, he is a native of Northern Europe, he knows English and German, but he knows nothing about Spanish, but he always imitates Mexicans with a unique European facial perspective......
"The footage of the four intruders escaping from the local police was captured by the street surveillance, but it took some more time to get the police footage. The members of the Kaifeng branch all successfully retreated through the secret passage, and the information cleaning up of the base was not too problematic, and it would not leave any useful information for HL. Dasher pulled the scroll bar of the tablet in his hand, and a photo of Bi Ma Wen appeared in the extended information of the screen: "Feng Buji, the provincial governor of the province, is now under investigation, and according to his confession, he encountered an intruder while going to the toilet...... And then it was hijacked for a while, and there was ...... Feng Buji said that one of the invaders had the ability to manipulate the invisible thread, but the strength should only be at the paper level, and they also had a computer called 'Destiny', which was claimed to be better than our 'Apostle' system. β
Lodovico's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Oh, is this information credible, has the apostolic system been compromised?"
Dasher replied: "Lord Vanessa of Red Lion County gave a detailed assessment report half an hour ago, and the invaders did successfully break through the Apostle machine in Kaifeng at that time, but she immediately detected and dealt with it, isolating and blocking the invaded 'Apostle'. After the invasion ended, she conducted a thorough inspection of the Apostles around the world, and found no suspicious signs, so the possibility of a system breach could be ruled out. However, information leakage must be unavoidable.
In addition, in the report, Venissa described the Intruder's model as resembling a 'black metal block', with unpredictable performance and a high probability of superiority over our system. β
Lodovico thought that if that "fate" was really so amazing, then there were only a handful of people in the world who could make it.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Can you confirm the identities of the four intruders?"
"Integrating the information provided by He Yi, Meng Qi, and several knights, the captain of the knights of the Kaifeng Branch, combined with the surveillance video records obtained by Lord Venisha from various sources, there are two people whose identities can be confirmed among the four, one is the defector we are pursuing, the Night Knight Mark Spaton, a powerful person, who has appeared in public for the first time since leaving the organization, and the other person is called 'Accountant', a person with paper-level ability, specializing in financial fraud, as well as counterfeit bonds, art, rare currency, etc. This man is meticulous and low-key, there is no official criminal record of him, and his real name is impossible to check, but there are many people in the Tao who know him. β
Dasher paused, continued to operate the tablet, and said, "The other two, the young man who controlled the line, had no way to find out, and there was no trace of his identity in all the databases that could be queried. According to Venissa's description, it was an Asian man in his early twenties, hmm...... It's handsome. β
"What did you say?" Lodovico looked at Dasher suspiciously.
Dasher said: "I didn't say it, it was she who added this sentence to the report......"
Lodovico rolled his eyes helplessly, anyway, the guy who had been holding candy all day and hanging around hadn't written a serious report.
Dasher continued: "As for the man who walked on the wall, his facial features matched that of an ordinary clerk in Maple Leaf County named Tom Stoll, but according to the records of the local police department, this man seems to have been involved in a dispute with the nobles, and the world has disappeared. As a result, the relevant information has become ambiguous and misty. He Yi's report said that this man's skills are extremely professional and unfathomable, and it is impossible for him to be an ordinary employee, and the so-called Tom Stoll is just a meaningless fake identity, so we still don't know the details of this man. β
Lodovico habitually stroked his beard and pondered, and then said: "A defector, a financial fraudster, and two strong men of unknown origin...... If they were from the Empire, they could reveal their identities to the police, or they could pretend to be arrested and wait for their superiors to mediate and get out of prison.
If they are not from the Empire, then they are members of other organizations...... But why should we have a direct conflict with us, the current situation in the world is far from the period when the heroes are divided......"
Dasher said, "Is it possible that they are some secret service that the Empire does not recognize to the outside world. β
"You young people, you've watched too many movies, there's only one government in this world, what do you want that kind of agency to do? Investigate aliens? After the agents are arrested, the empire will claim that those earthlings have nothing to do with our earth government?"
Dasher shrugged, "What do you mean, my lord?"
Chief Lodovi took a breath and said, "Dragon County is divided into thirty-four regions, and there are many branches of our Iron Commandment, but there are only fourteen apostles, among which the combat power of the base in Kaifeng is the weakest during this period. This incident is no coincidence, they clearly know the location of our branch, and the goal is clear, and it is directed at the Apostles, which suggests that the other side may have a better ability to obtain information than the Empire, which the emerging rebel group simply does not have.
So, in my opinion, it's time to communicate with the people of 'Xingtian', whether this matter has anything to do with them or not, it's always right to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, the current battle situation here is still unclear, and our weak strength in Asia can't withstand the wind and waves......"
