297 Goal: Destroy the Consciousness Backup
Elliot, who lowered his head when he saw someone, did not notice David's face, and he continued:
"Well, Du Wei said...... He told you to hand over the work to me.
And then don't mention what's going on here, and you're good to go."
"Huh?"
David jerked his head up, and he realized that the truth of the matter was not what he had thought.
He just thought that Du Wei was going to cook the rabbit and the dead dog.
As a result, Du Wei actually wanted to let him go?
Has the sun come out in the west?
David opened his mouth in surprise and reconfirmed:
"You're saying I can retire?"
Elliot thought for a moment and said:
"I guess I mean unemployed."
Hearing Elliot's answer so bluntly, David did not get angry, but had joy in his eyes.
Although the work here pays well, it is always a bad thing.
So he was tired of going home every day and telling his wife that he had to keep his work secret.
It's just too tiring to live like that.
But he didn't dare to ask Du Wei to leave easily, for fear that his now stable life would disappear as soon as he opened his mouth.
After all, the CIA, which is in charge of the Northern Lights program, has always been a sword hanging over his head.
But now that Du Wei is willing to let him go in person, then everything will be different.
David, who had been confirmed, couldn't even eat the freshly soaked noodles in front of him, so he took his belongings and rushed towards the passage.
From this day on, he is finally free!
Seeing David rushing towards the passage, Elliot couldn't help but hurry:
"Wait, you haven't handed it over yet."
David, who was leaving, paused, and then said with a playful smile:
"Handover? The machine will tell you everything you have to do."
After saying that, David left this secret base deep underground without looking back.
Elliot, who was dazed, found that all the computer screens in front of him were suddenly black, and then letters popped out of the black screen.
[Welcome Elliot, I'm a machine, nice to meet you.] 】
Greeting?
The machine was actually greeting him?
Seeing the awakened AI for the first time, Elliot's eyes immediately flashed with excitement.
It seems that Mr. Robot's decision to stay is not so bad, on the contrary, it will be a very interesting time.
While Elliot took over the maintenance of the machine, the secret base welcomed new guests.
It was none other than Frank and Bill, who had returned from Paris.
After fighting side by side in the stronghold of the Bloody Hand faction in Paris, the two have become good comrades-in-arms.
And Bill also completely solved the possible consequences of his daughter in this battle.
For this reason, he specially asked Frank to come and thank Du Wei in person.
Because whether it was the first time he went to Paris to find his daughter or the assistance provided to him by Elijah later, there was a shadow of Du Wei behind it.
Not to mention that Frank, who is quite capable of fighting and has the shadow of his youth, is also called by Dewey to help him.
With such kindness, it is too much to say thank you in person.
So after Frank consulted Dewey, he took Bill back to his secret base in the abandoned subway in New York.
Soon they met Du Wei who was sitting in an empty room.
Frank, who walked into the house, sniffled and didn't smell the perfume he had imagined, which made him ask with some confusion:
"What about Root and Shaw? Why aren't they here?"
Du Wei waved his hand, not wanting to say more.
Seeing this, Frank, who had been in a lot of battles, didn't ask any more questions, and turned out of the way to reveal Bill behind him.
When Bill saw Du Wei's familiar face, Bill, who had always been stingy with smiling faces, also had a sincere smile on his face.
"Dewey, it's a pleasure to see you again.
Thanks to your help, things didn't get worse.
That's why I'm asking Frank to bring me to thank you in person.
As I used to say, I owe you more than one.
So now, I'm not here just to say thank you, but to be useful to me wherever you go.
As long as I can do it, I will not hesitate to do it."
Regarding Bill's statement that he wanted to return the favor, Du Wei smiled and said:
"Okay, since you want to repay my favor, why don't you quit drinking first?"
Hearing Du Wei's request, Bill's face was visibly stunned.
He had thought about the things that Du Wei might ask him to do, including but not limited to assassination, obtaining intelligence, and other operations.
But Dudu never thought that Du Wei would let him quit drinking!
What kind of way is this to repay the favor?
Letting him quit drinking is clearly only good for him.
If he can quit drinking, won't he be able to get custody of his daughter?
Realizing this, Bill suddenly looked up, and he seemed to understand Dewey's intentions.
Bill asked tentatively:
"And what happens after I successfully quit drinking?"
"Go apply for a Secret Service agent, you'll have a decent job.
Then appeal, I don't think you, who are not alcoholics and have the status of a Secret Service agent, will not lose the right to visit your daughter again forever."
Hearing this, Bill couldn't help but ask:
"Don't you need me to do anything for you?"
Du Wei shook his head and said:
"No, you've done it for me.
From my point of view, you have paid off the favors you owe me.
So now you deserve a better life.
Of course, all if you quit that damn alcohol for the sake of your daughter."
Bill was silent for a moment, and then spoke again:
"I'll quit that damn alcohol.
But my promise will always be valid.
As long as you need it, I will help at any time."
To Bill's re-commitment, Du Wei just smiled and nodded.
"Of course, if I'm really in trouble, I'll be cheeky enough to come to the door."
"Haha, I'll be happy to help you.
Then I wish you all the best for the future."
With his final blessings, Bill knew it was time for him to go.
He bowed respectfully to Du Wei and walked towards the dark passageway.
When Bill was far away, Frank spoke:
"Are you just going to let him go?"
In Frank's impression, Du Wei has always been in line with the idea that the more people there are, the better, and never let go of any available talent.
Although Bill is a little old, the experience gained by age is something that is difficult for young people to obtain.
Besides, when he fought side by side with Bill, he really didn't think Bill was a little powerless.
Whether it's twisting someone's neck or shooting him in the head, Bill is proficient in everything.
But Bill in such a state, Du Wei didn't care at all, and didn't let him stay in the slightest to help.
Is it true that they are no longer short of people?
Frank's question was soon answered by Dewey.
"Bill has daughters and concerns, and people like him should live their lives instead of licking blood at the knife like we do.
Remember what I promised you in the first place?
I said I would bring you a different world, a world where you can live the life you want.
Speaking of which, the life of the Glorious Society is not easy now.
In a little while, we will be able to completely deal with this virus-playing organization.
At that point, you can also go and live the life you want, fishing freely at sea, right?"
Frank was stunned, he didn't expect Du Wei to remember these things that he was about to forget.
At the beginning, he provoked Johnson, a small leader of the Glorious Society, because he protected Valentina, the daughter of the Secretary of Defense.
As a result, he was semi-forced to join Du Wei's salvation organization.
Speaking of which, there is still a lingering relationship between him and Valentina.
If he weren't still on the Glorious Society's kill list, I'm afraid he would indeed have the idea of retiring.
After all, who wouldn't want to live a life with nephrite in their arms.
Besides, now that he even has a mechanical heart, if he "works" longer, I am afraid that other parts of his body will also have problems.
It's just that he has gradually become accustomed to life in the Salvation Organization, and if he hadn't been suddenly injected with a "Tokyo cocktail" some time ago, he would actually be quite satisfied with his current life.
At this time, he suddenly heard Du Wei mention retirement life, and Frank felt a little like a world away.
"Really? Speaking of which, I'm really reluctant to leave here.
Even though the occasional assignment is a terrible one, I feel a little sorry that I don't have that adrenaline-pumping feeling."
Du Wei was not surprised by Frank's feelings, after all, this guy is an idle master.
Even if it was a crisis in delivering "express", he did it three times in a row, and Valentina was the third one.
Did Frank go into this profession knowing that it would be dangerous because of a lack of money? No, he's just here to enjoy the thrill.
Only the adrenaline rush between life and death could make him feel alive.
"It's not just the blood licking that gets you back to the adrenaline.
When you retire, you can go to the streets with Donald and enjoy the thrill of underground drag racing.
As long as you don't participate in Donald's plan, then you will go to jail at most and you will not die."
Hearing Du Wei's teasing, Frank smiled, let's talk about the future.
Moreover, now that the Glory Society is still there, it is not yet time to mention retirement.
So Frank changed his mind and asked about his next plan:
"So what are we going to do next?"
You're not going to give yourself a holiday, are you?"
Du Wei took a ticket to Delos Park from the table next to him, handed it over, and said:
"Have you ever heard of a paradise that is 100% realistic?"
"100% realistic?"
When Frank took the high-tech holographic ticket, his eyes were full of doubt.
He had heard that there was now first-person VR that allowed people to experience a near-real massage experience, but he had never heard of a manufacturer who dared to use 100% authenticity as an advertising slogan.
This is simply a suspicion of fraud!
But after looking at the lifelike architectural modeling and the vivid characters in it, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
It is unlikely that such a detailed holographic ticket can be rendered to deceive, right?
And it's unlikely that Du Wei's shot is some ordinary item.
Could it be that there really is a 100% real paradise in this world?
Frank flipped the ticket in his hand and looked at it carefully, and soon he noticed the address on the ticket - Casablanca.
This address is no stranger to Frank.
He still remembered that John, who was called "Night Demon", and Uncle Punishment, who was called "The Punisher", had teamed up to go there on a mission.
It was the seat of the Elders, the most mysterious force of the High Table.
So, this so-called Delos Paradise is the ghost of the Elder?
Thinking of this, Frank lifted in surprise
He looked at Du Wei.
"Is that what I thought?"
"Yes, the elders that John killed with the virus weren't completely dead.
And our actions seem to have caused a sense of crisis among the elders.
So now he is not willing to hide behind the scenes.
The paradise of Delos was a temptation for them to the world.
If successful, they will have the largest voice in the world.
Having seen the operation of the high table, I think you should understand that it is not a good thing for humanity to have an elder in charge of this world."
Having seen that the glorious will use the virus to kill people, Frank, a woman imprisoned by the Bloody Hand faction, nodded approvingly:
"That's right, these people at the High Table have always been people who have no regard for human life.
In their eyes, there is no difference between human life and pigs and dogs.
They can sacrifice everyone for their own purposes.
This kind of guy who doesn't care about the life and death of human beings must not have enormous power in his hands.
Otherwise, it will be a great catastrophe for all of humanity.
Say, what are we going to do next?
Is it to go to that paradise to find the elder and kill him?"
Du Wei shook his head and said:
"It's not that simple, I think you've seen the Lincoln 6E, right?"
Lincoln 6E?
Frank remembered the android who had ridden his car to Bobby's detached house.
Truth be told, that guy doesn't look like a droid at all.
If it weren't for Du Wei saying it, he really couldn't have imagined that a guy with such a rich expression would be a android.
Now that Du Wei mentions this, is he saying that the elder they killed at the beginning was also a android?
Frank, who realized this possibility, had a shock in his eyes:
"You're saying that the Elder has achieved immortality through androids?"
"Pseudo-immortality, to be exact.
The mind balls that store consciousness are not designed to last forever, and every time they are read and written, they will be worn out.
However, for the time being, this does not see much of a hidden danger.
So you are right to understand it as eternal life.
Therefore, what we have to do is to destroy the mind orbs that have the elder's backup consciousness and end his eternal life."
Frank, whose heart was shaken, immediately realized a problem:
"But something so important, let's not talk about how to find it.
Let's just say how can we break through the security set by the elders?
Is it really possible for us to destroy it?"
Du Wei smiled and said something that Frank couldn't understand:
"Who said there were just a few of us? We have an army that is not afraid of death!"
