Things didn't turn out as Taran expected, and they went much faster than he expected.

The garrison of Eternal Night Harbor interrogated him for 48 hours, asking him "where did he hear about the Enlightenment Society", as well as a series of information about the Enlightenment Society's creed, purpose, philosophy, organizational structure, and so on.

Who knew that these Willantes were testing themselves, and Talan, who had done his homework in advance, was not panicked at all, memorized all the information on the official website, and answered them fluently during the interrogation.

Even if the Willant asked the same question in a different way, he didn't show any flaws.

Seemingly moved by his sincerity, the interrogators who took turns interrogating him believed him.

Especially the last interrogator, who couldn't help but stand up and shake his hand with excitement.

"Thank you, Mr. Taran...... I mean thank you for turning away from the darkness and turning to the light! The great cause has one more righteous partner, and the Enlightenment will welcome you to join! ”

"For a great cause!"

Seeing that he had finally passed the test, Taran stood up with the same excitement, but was forced to sit back because his hands were still handcuffed on the table.

"I'll untie it for you!"

Seeing his embarrassment, the interrogator quickened his pace to him, opened his handcuffs with the key, and then grasped his hands with enthusiasm.

"I've wronged you these days! I hope you can understand us, we also have our own struggles...... Credible intelligence suggests that the Coalition has its eye on us, and we can only be extremely careful. ”

"It's nothing compared to the grievances I've suffered in the Alliance, and I understand your caution...... After all, we're not going to do anything for fun. ”

Taran looked at him with the same enthusiasm, as if he had found the organization and met his comrades, and continued with a fluttering brow.

"So, am I joining you now?"

The interrogator shook his hand back vigorously, smiling and nodding.

"That's right! You have passed the assessment, and tomorrow a colleague from the Personnel Bureau will come to you and communicate with you about joining the club. ”

Taran: "Personnel Bureau? ”

The interrogator said with a smile on his face.

"It's the department in charge of personnel management...... After all, we are a well-organized organization, and specialized affairs are handled by specialized people. ”

Taran suddenly realized, and then nodded and gave him a "I understand" look.

"Understood!"

"If you understand!"

Back at his desk, the interrogator stacked the papers on the desk, quickly stuffed them into a file bag, and then looked back at Taran and smiled.

"I will submit the information as soon as possible, and I have to trouble you to be wronged here for a day."

"It's so polite to you, I said I wasn't wronged...... Okay, you can hurry up. ”

Taran smiled and nodded, and even politely sent the interrogator out the door, only to follow the intriguing prison guard back to his cell.

As usual, he pretended to be tired and fell asleep and returned to the line.

He took off his helmet and rushed to the keyboard, his index finger crackling on it.

"Brothers! I've entered the Enlightenment! ”

Maybe it's because it's still early in the morning, most of the players are in the game, and the cloud players are asleep, so there aren't many people cheering.

However, after seeing the title of his post, quite a few people rushed in.

Medical miracle: "? Really?! ”

Sauerkraut fish: "The head of the regiment is awesome!! ”

Angry fatty liver: "Yo, something." ”

Most of the bubbling were members of the Desert Corps.

Unexpectedly, the head of his own regiment finally gave his strength once, and everyone offered their heartfelt sycophants.

Especially those newcomers who were confused as soon as they landed on the shore and ate prison food, one by two shouted.

"Brother! I've been in prison for three days! ”

"I've never squatted for so long in my life!"

"Pull my brother along!"

"Or will we be able to confess and be lenient?"

Looking at the praise and praise, Taran's heart couldn't help but flutter, and he knocked down another sentence with joy.

"Brothers, don't panic, I've just broken into the organization of the Enlightenment Society, and I have to trouble you to lurk for a while!"

"But don't worry, I've already asked the interrogators, they won't lock you up for too long, you should be released in a few days, you insist on it!"

That's exactly what the interrogator said to him.

And not only that, the other party also hopes that he can develop those travelers from the alliance into the offline of the Enlightenment Society, and help them continue to collect information about the alliance after returning to the alliance.

As soon as he heard about this good thing, Taran immediately agreed, and he would definitely get it done.

Not only that, but he patted his chest and said to the group of big noses that these tourists were actually tired of the lies of the "Daily Survivor" just like himself, and wanted to see if the legion in reality was really as unbearable as the newspaper said, so they came to Eternal Night Harbor to travel.

The Confederate who doubted the Daily Survivor were like the Willantes who doubted the Southern Army Victory, having sold their souls and were no longer loyal.

It's not hard to develop these disloyal guys into downlines.

While Taran was vividly describing his plan to "steal from the world" and "steal the pillars" on the official website forum, the interrogator in charge of interrogating him also got into a black car parked at the entrance of the Katnod prison.

Seeing that the interrogator got into the car, Willoughby, the chief commander of the garrison who was sitting in the back row, hurriedly leaned over and asked.

"How?"

The interrogator did not dare to slack off, and respectfully handed the document bag in his hand to the commander's hand.

"He has already confessed everything, and the information about the Enlightenment Society is in this file, and most of the clues are consistent with the clues provided by Triumph City, and there are some details in it that even we don't know!"

After two days of probing, they had basically figured out the full details of the Enlightenment.

For example, the low-level personnel are called disciples, the middle-level personnel are called guides, and then the elders.

As for the president, that is, the top, the code name is "Guiru".

According to this information, they can build a cocoon called the Enlightenment Society from scratch, and then put this Alliance spy who "thinks he has penetrated into the Enlightenment Society", so as to extract more clues about the Enlightenment Society and the Alliance from him.

That's the idea behind Project Vespa!

Make a bait without a bait, and don't be afraid that the opposite side will not take the bait!

After opening the document in his hand and glancing at it, Willoughby was overjoyed, and handed the document bag to the chief of the intelligence section sitting in the passenger seat.

"The target has taken the bait! According to the content of the document, arrange it immediately! ”

The chief of the intelligence department didn't say a word, and immediately took the order.

"Yes!"

Looking at his subordinates who were busy like ants, Chief Willoughby leaned comfortably on his seat and slowly opened the thermos cup and took a sip of hot tea.

At this moment, the spy of the alliance did not know that he had fallen into a trap.

By the time that guy finally realized that this so-called "Enlightenment Society" was just a game deliberately made by the Eternal Night Harbor Garrison, it was already too late.

By that time, they had figured out all the clues of "Vault 0" and "Project Torch" through this deliberately made game, and through these clues, they had become the true masters of the secret weapon that could restart the world!

He's a genius!

With the order given, an operation codenamed "Vespa" officially began.

According to the information provided by Chief Willoughby, hundreds of staff members of the Intelligence Section immediately went into action, and it took only one day to set up a stronghold of the "Enlightenment Society" near Blackwater Lane.

The entire colony was disguised as a hotel, and the office was placed between the 4th and 5th floors, which had to be accessed through a secret compartment - i.e., '4.5 floors'.

In addition, the 30 employees who were placed on the "4.5th floor" were all trained intelligence officers.

They will play the role of his colleague and senior, go on missions with him, and do everything possible to extract information from him in the process of contacting him.

All the preparation was done in one day.

In this way, the Enlightenment Society has a stronghold in the Eternal Night Harbor that it doesn't even know about.

And in order to win the trust of the alliance spy, the staff of the garrison intelligence department even prepared an ingenious initiation ceremony for him.

And all the tricks and tricks are made to make this forged enlightenment look as realistic and truthful as possible.

As the day passed, Taran was summoned to the interrogation room again.

This time, however, he met with the older guard who had been in charge of interrogating him in the first place.

It's different from when we first met.

The old guy didn't handcuff him, but smiled and shook his hand as soon as they met.

"Mr. Taran, we meet again, and it seems that you have passed my colleague's examination."

Taran was secretly happy in his heart, but he complained in his mouth.

"I said earlier, I really want to join you, but you just don't believe me."

"Trust is something that takes time to build, and you have earned our trust through your sincerity."

The guard cleared his throat and continued with a warm smile.

"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Daniel, and I am the head of the Enlightenment branch in Eternal Night Harbor, and I am also your 'guide'."

Guide!

The big fish is hooked!

Taran was excited, but his face was solemn and respectful, and he made a flattered appearance.

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"

He was thinking about a polite sentence, but suddenly remembered a detail.

I've heard that the Enlightenment only accepts Vault dwellers, and this guy has a clearly Velante with a nose.

What is this guy and how did he become a guide?!

As if to see the alertness in his eyes, Daniel tapped him lightly on the shoulder and explained.

"Truth be told, I joined the Vault 10 years ago and didn't find the organization until 8 years ago...... It was from that moment that I found the meaning of living, no longer living for the sake of living. ”

The heartfelt voice made Taran subconsciously believe half of it, and the remaining half of his worries also dissipated as the other party revealed the "vital signs monitor (VM)" to prove his identity.

"68 Shelter, this is my identification. I passed the Vault's assessment, and its administrators recognized me and personally awarded me the VM...... At the same time, that gentleman was my guide. ”

Looking at Taran who was speechless with surprise, Daniel put away the VM he was wearing on his arm and smiled kindly at the former.

"This is not the place to talk, I'll take you to our base first."

Taran perked up.

"Now? But I'm still in detention, so I don't need to go through any formalities—"

Daniel interrupted him.

"It's so outward, my friend, that you have joined us in our glorious and great cause, how could we have put you in prison for this little misunderstanding? The formalities for your release from prison were completed yesterday, and you are free. ”

At this point, he lowered his voice.

"Our cooperation with the Legion officials began a long time ago, not only here, but also in Avent and even in Triumph City...... All of them have our people. ”

Taran immediately showed a look of understanding, restrained the excitement in his heart, and gave a thumbs up.

"Awesome!"

I didn't expect the cooperation between the Southern Army and the Enlightenment Society to be so close!

"Low-key."

With a sneer in his heart, "It's so deceitful", Daniel looked at the prison guard on the side and showed the documents in his hand.

"I'll take the people first."

The warden took the documents from his hand and examined them from beginning to end, especially the signature at the check-off office.

After confirming that there was no problem, he returned the document in his hand to the guard in front of him.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Although he was the warden of Katnod Prison, he did not participate in the garrison's mission, but only roughly knew that the garrison seemed to have made another big move.

These people have never been very reliable, and he just hopes that this time there will be no more big trouble.

Daniel nodded, and was about to leave with the Coalition spies, when he saw the guard standing next to the warden staring at him.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the man twice.

"What's the matter?"

Andrew, who had been wandering since just now, suddenly came back to his senses and squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face.

"I didn't ...... Nothing. ”

Looking at that unnatural smile, Daniel frowned slightly.

But at this moment, the warden on the side laughed and gave Andrew a round.

"Don't care, this guy has always been like this, clumsy in doing things, stupid and always distracted, or he wouldn't have been working under my hands for more than ten or twenty years."

He can't remember exactly how many years, anyway, since he took office, this weird old guy has been here, usually staying alone and not communicating with other colleagues.

Looking at the honest man who cowered and lowered his head, Daniel nodded, gradually dispelling the confusion in his heart.

Withdrawn people have all kinds of reasons for being withdrawn, and that stiff expression may just be thinking too much.

After all, it is unlikely that the old guys who can work in Katnod Prison for ten or twenty years are not normal people, and most of them can't stand it after two or three years at most, and most of them change jobs without being transferred to other departments.

The top priority is to settle down the "big fish" around you first.

Without further delay, Daniel hurried away with Taran.

Lifting the buried head up, Andrew looked at the backs of the two of them leaving through the gap in his bangs, only to feel his heart pounding.

It's dangerous!

Almost exposed!

The development of things made him more and more incomprehensible, if it weren't for his official duties, he would have been eager to follow up and find out, when did this Eternal Night Harbor have another stronghold of the Enlightenment Society, and even he, a disciple, was kept in the dark.

The warden, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't know anything, just looked at the sneaky guy and shook his head.

The notorious Katnod prison is full of rotten people who don't want to be in Eternal Night Harbor, and normally the garrison will catch people here and throw them in cages, and this groundbreaking interrogation has been carried out several times, and it is clear that there is a big case.

It was rare to have the opportunity to cooperate with the garrison to handle the case, so he specially brought a few old guys in the prison with him, hoping that they could show their cleverness, and be favored by those big men and transferred to the garrison or other departments.

Unexpectedly, these old guys didn't give themselves any face, but he wasted his expression.

“…… The mud can't hold up the wall! The warden sighed, shook his head and walked away.

……

On the other side, two "big fish" biting each other had already gotten into a black car parked at the prison gate.

Daniel, who was sitting in the car, lit a cigarette and handed one to Taran as well.

"Smoke?"

Taran smiled embarrassedly and waved his hand to excuse himself.

"I can't, I'm not used to it."

Daniel didn't force it, pressing the newly lit cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then stuffed the cigarette case into his arms.

didn't expect this "boss" who had just met to take care of himself so much, and Taran was also moved for a while.

Of course, he couldn't forget his identity and loyalty because of this little favor.

Nothing to say all the way.

About a 10-minute drive, the car stopped next to a hotel.

Taran deliberately paid attention to the signboard hanging at the door, the name of this hotel is also quite chic, literally translated into Chinese is called "Marshal's Arsenal", people who don't understand it still think it is a weapons store.

Perhaps because of this chic sign, there were no guests in the hotel, only a gray-haired old man dozing off at the back of the bar.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man raised half an eyelid when they walked into the hotel lobby, he wouldn't even have thought that this guy had hung up.

"You're here - ahem! Welcome, is it a stay or a meal? ”

Daniel gave him a deep look, pulled out a silver key card, and tapped it twice on the bar.

The old man nodded understandingly, and then continued to doze off on the bar.

"Follow me."

Calling a confused Taran, Daniel led him straight to the back kitchen, and then went up a staircase in a dark compartment to the end of the staircase.

The moment he pushed the door open, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and Taran's eyes widened involuntarily.

A secret stronghold hidden in the city!

Floors that can't be reached by normal means!

And the mysticism and technological décor, everything here is a perfect fit for all his imagination of the Enlightenment!

Of course, maybe it was because it was so well hidden, and when he was on the stairs, he thought he was being taken somewhere he shouldn't be.

Seemingly pleased with the fuss on his face, Daniel smiled faintly and continued.

"Welcome to the 4.5th floor of the Marshal's Harbor, our stronghold in Eternal Night Harbor."

Looking around at the faces, Taran swallowed his saliva, and it took a long time to squeeze a word out of his mouth.

"Awesome ......"

Retracting his gaze from his face, Daniel turned his gaze to the busy office on the side.

"Most of the disciples in charge of the internal service work here, and some of them are assigned to carry out tasks outside."

"Although we have carried out some cooperation with the Southern Legion, our information is not convenient to make public, so it can only be done in this covert form...... By the way, by the way, I want you to try not to mention your identity when you're out there. ”

"Understood!" Taran nodded excitedly, and couldn't help but open his mouth impatiently, "By the way, you just mentioned the mission...... Don't know if I can help? ”

It seemed that he felt that he was in a bit of a hurry to say it at this time, and Taran hurriedly added a sentence later.

"Please forgive me for being anxious, I just want to contribute to the organization as soon as possible."

Looking at this guy who took the initiative to bite the hook, Daniel smiled mysteriously and continued.

"I understand your feelings, and that's true for most of the people who join us...... However, I hope you understand that we need to test your abilities before we give you a 'sufficiently important task'. ”

That is, you have to do the task of opening the toilet first, right?

You know!

Although Taran was dissatisfied, he nodded energetically.

"No problem, I'll prove what I'm capable of."

"Very good, I'll wait for your words."

Daniel nodded approvingly, took a document from the staff member who walked next to him, and handed it to Taran.

As the latter looked through the document, he summarized its contents succinctly.

"Recently, a hallucinogen called 'snake oil' suddenly appeared on the black market in Eternal Night Harbor, but this thing was not extracted from snakes, but from a crop called snake grass."

"It was originally the work of the Garrison Intelligence Department to investigate the origin of the snake oil, but according to the clues they found in the follow-up, they found that the water behind this is not ordinary deep, and it may involve the alliance's 'strategic dumping of poisons' against us, as a retaliation for the use of chemical weapons by our front-line troops."

Taran was a little confused after hearing this.

When will the Enlightenment Society still be in charge of anti-drug work?

And what the hell is the "strategic dumping of poisons", they have never done such a dirty thing.

"This ...... Does it have anything to do with our great plans? Looking up from the paper, Taran asked suspiciously.

Daniel said with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with our great plans, but the Southern Legion is our ally, and occasionally they will need us to use our power and secrecy in grassroots organization to handle and investigate difficult matters for them...... And in exchange, they're going to help with our program, you understand what I mean? ”

The popularity of "snake oil" on the black market has attracted the attention of the authorities, and whether it is a strategic dumping by the alliance remains to be further investigated.

However, considering that this thing came from the Snake State, which is actually controlled by Borneo, he felt that the possibility was not low, or even very high!

After all, Borneo's army needed the dinar to import ammunition for Legion-style weapons, and the price of smuggled weapons was far higher than the market price, and only the same lucrative addiction could fill the hole.

This case is currently being investigated by the Intelligence Bureau, and it will be solved anyway, so it is better to throw it to this spy from the Alliance to try his skills.

If the Alliance wants to break into the Enlightenment, it will definitely not be stingy with some additional "costs", right?

He's already here.

Daniel, with a scheming smile on his face, reached out and patted Taran on the shoulder.

"I'll leave this job to you, and I'll arrange an assistant for you."

Taran, who was suddenly entrusted with a heavy task, looked confused, but he still nodded his head and took over the troublesome work.

"Package...... It's good on me. ”
