Chapter 683: Shadow

In the early morning, it was announced that a new day of working life began.

Lu Xiang and Song Lan walked side by side on the empty streets of the first arrondissement, and the scene that had just happened in the conference room was somewhat familiar to her, which reminded her of the Grand Prosecutor Dominus, who had the same idea as the dove at that time.

But in fact, Song Lan's abilities were the most complex in her cognition, and it seemed that even he couldn't fully explain all the ways to use them, and just the part he deliberately displayed was enough to make the council like a great enemy.

Lu Xiang felt that even if this stupid bird made a list of every ability he could think of and submitted it to the spiritual ability research institution, those experts would have to get together to study it for a long time, and this could only reach the level of understanding, with she and Song Lan had been together for so long, they couldn't think of how to crack each other's abilities.

As Song Lan said, their theoretical basis was wrong from the beginning.

As long as he wants, he can absolutely manipulate the deleted time, and what they see is only the part that Song Lan deliberately presented to them, making his ability seem to have flaws at all.

"But this proves one thing, the video of District 17 didn't end up in the hands of the Council and the Psionic Research Institute."

She had been observing Dove during the meeting, and his reaction to the video and Song Lan's use of the ability did not look like a disguise.

However, this is strange.

Lu Xiang vaguely remembered that the video of the ability to launch at that time spread all over the gold digger bar, and it also set off a long discussion about "enthusiastic citizens", as long as MI7 or counterintelligence followed these clues to investigate, they should have mastered this information a long time ago.

Could it be that MI7 and counterintelligence also raise a bunch of people who eat dry food?

As she pondered, the roar of the hovercar stopped above the two of them, and the occupants motioned for them to stop, and a moment later, the black hovercar slowly landed beside them.

The door was opened by a familiar figure.

"Two, long time no see!"

Qi He was wearing an expensive suit, smiling, and looking as energetic as ever.

He took the initiative to wave to the two of them and greeted them warmly, "I haven't had time to thank you yet, and quietly said that she had a great time in the seventeenth district." ”

"We must be meeting for the first time, right?"

Lu Xiang asked, after all, they should be the images of Rob Lucci and Mo Lian in people's eyes now.

Qi He looked like he knew the true identities of her and Song Lan.

"Said in the car."

Qi He glanced at the two of them, and he showed enough sincerity - there was no one else in his car, not even the bodyguards of the people, seeing that the two of them hesitated, he explained, "You can rest assured, this is my personal property, it has nothing to do with the company, and there is absolutely no listening equipment installed in it, so in other words......"

He smiled slightly, "Even if you kill me in the car and destroy the car later, the company will not know what you did, and I have always wanted to see you in my personal capacity." ”

Since everything has been said and done, Lu Xiang took the first step to get into the floating car.

After the door closed and the hovercar returned to the orbital line in the air, Lu Xiang asked, "When did you know?" ”

Qi He's sudden appearance answered the question in her heart.

If the Lagus Foundation had destroyed the video to prevent it from being sent to the Council, Dove's reaction to the video seemed to make sense.

"Are you referring to the identity of the 'Enthusiastic Citizen', or are you infiltrating the Iris Consortium disguised as Rob-Lucci and Mollene?"

Qi He opened a bottle of champagne for the two.

Both for him and the Ragus Foundation, there is indeed a lot to celebrate recently, "With that said, I want to thank you for helping us solve a lot of troubles, the Morgo family and the Iris Foundation, our relationship with them has always been ...... Not very harmonious. ”

"What about Wisteria Academy? As far as I know, it's the property of the Foundation. ”

If Qi He had already guessed their identities, then their trip to the Wisteria Academy at that time would have become a little delicate.

"That's my personal will, a folk psychic organization that I've funded over the years happens to have a somewhat tense relationship with the Wisteria Academy and the psychic ability research institute, and because of my work, it's not convenient for me to come forward in person...... Gustav, remember the name? ”

"You sent him."

Lu Xiang suddenly realized.

Gustav's presence brought a rain of cakes to the 17th District, and for a time made the neighborhood look like a fairytale world, but since that brief encounter, the mysterious organization of psionics has once again returned to the mist.

She asked Dr. Shiratake to secretly investigate, but nothing came of it.

It seems that it was through Gustav that Qi He learned about the relationship between the "enthusiastic citizens" and her.

"More precisely, let him stop by you in the course of his official duties, when there was a new energy conference that we valued very much, and it would bring billions of profits to the company."

Qi He took a sip of champagne from the glass and saluted Song Lan, "Since there is not a hole in my chest yet, it means that you should be willing to listen to me continue." ”

Song Lan didn't respond, just clinked her glass lightly and expressed her attitude.

"Actually, I always hope that you can come to the first district in person, so that you can witness the current situation of the coalition government, I think you should have met the current director of the Psychic Research Institute, what he wants to do most now is to take you to the institution, tie you to the bed with a fixed belt, and study your abilities thoroughly."

For doves and those avid researchers, that's all they have to do with their lives.

"It doesn't matter what land they live in, whatever threat they have under their feet, and I think maybe you want to talk about something serious."

"To be clear, I don't plan to work for the company."

Song Lan said.

He did witness the decay of his family, but that didn't mean he had to help the company enforce their system, and across the street from their lodging was a group of people who were working day and night, and when they repaid the huge loan they had taken out of their prosthetic makeover, and could no longer contribute to the company, they would be kicked away.

It's no secret for a long time.

"Working for a company? No, I think you're mistaken. ”

Qi He shook his head, "The company is just a way to obtain funds, in this era, if you want to do anything, you need a lot of money, and I, I want to help you in my personal name." ”

"Help us?"

"Although most of your previous operations have been very secretive, as long as you follow those clues, with the capabilities of MI7 and counterintelligence, it will not be difficult for them to find the truth."

Qi He paused and said, "And at this time, someone needs to help you deal with the aftermath, such as destroying those videos, silencing some restless people, or separating Rob Lucci from Seventeen. ”

"But at what cost?"

"The price?"

Qi He said, "Don't get me wrong, as long as we are still on the same path, this help is completely free." ”

"Mr. Qi He, you might as well directly indicate your intentions."

"I want to end this civil war."

Qi He's gaze drifted out of the window.

The hovercar drove between the skyscrapers, and everything that greeted him at this moment was the result of the efforts of countless people, and through the magnificent and majestic appearance, he saw an empire that was collapsing.

As the "outsiders" describe them, the coalition government has the most advanced scientific power, the strongest economic base, and the most powerful military power, but all these things that they are proud of are used in endless internal friction and struggle.

So much so that their interiors have been infiltrated into a sieve by some unknown creatures, and they don't know anything about it.

"Neither the family nor the company can be the ultimate winner."

"Mr. Qi He, your remarks are very dangerous."

Song Lan reminded the other party.

If these words got out, he didn't need to give Qi He a heart-piercing attack, and the Ragus Foundation would make Qi He disappear from this world first.

"I know, but as you can see, moderate means will never change the status quo, and that's like convincing the Council to pass the Artificial Intelligence Act, which requires not appeal and debate, but a tactical nuclear bomb."

The topic is becoming more and more dangerous.

But Qi He apparently did enough research and did not continue this dangerous topic.

He had learned about Song Lan's way of life, and knew that the other party didn't seem to like these heavy topics related to politics.

He pulled out a data chip, "I happened to have some information about the creatures you encountered in the sewers, and there should be something you want to know about it, and by the way, if you want to meet the Chairman, I can help you skip the tedious process and go a little more personal." ”

As he spoke, the hovercar had already passed through the steel forest and stopped on the roof of the transport company.

"Here we are."

Qi He opened the door of the hovercar for the two of them, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Some of them seem to regard this feeding ritual as a way to feed the gods, and after all these years, the gods in their eyes should have grown completely." ”

He sat in the car, drank the champagne from his glass, and raised the empty glass, as if to wish victory in advance, "But I trust my eyes more than the ethereal gods...... Mr. Lucci, Ms. Merlian, I wish you all victory. ”
