Chapter 120: The Way Back (Part II)

Of course, an explosion of 40,000 kilograms of TNT equivalent did not occur, and the dazzling red laser dots briefly appeared on the surface of the metal rod, and the metal hydrogen short rod visibly turned red with a faint green smoke. Solid-state tactical lasers for precision strikes at close range can penetrate human, lightly armored targets within 50 meters, causing considerable damage, but they are still far from being used to detonate metallic hydrogen explosives. "Did you know it wouldn't explode at all?" he asked, dejected, as he drank the Scotch whisky from his glass.

"Whew. It's fine. I just started praying. The white guy named George put down his pool cue and let out a long breath.

"It didn't blow up. Damn it. The bearded man named Bot glanced at his crotch, "I almost couldn't hold it back......"

"I know you need a particle pulse detonator to detonate it, sir, but maybe you have new technology beyond my knowledge, and I can't judge it, sir." Would you like another drink?"

ā€œ...... What the hell is going on with you guys?" the Chinese said frantically, "give me the whole bottle of whiskey, and I'll pour it myself." ā€

After drinking another glass of wine, Gu Tie's mood eased a little, "Eva, don't play dumb riddles with me, tell me about your situation, right?"

Little Lori's long eyelashes flickered: "Of course, dear Uncle Adam." What do you want to know?"

"What kind of organization is the ghost's right hand? Who created it? How many people are there? What is the purpose?" Gu Tie stared at her, suddenly remembering that Eva said just now that she was born in 2022, this terrifying woman is already thirty years old, one year older than herself, the scheming of a mature woman, the appearance of a beautiful loli, the Chinese couldn't help but shudder, "Don't sell cute, say it well." ā€

"Okay. Eva's eyes immediately became cold, "I can't answer the previous question. The latter question, the number of members of the ghost's right hand is not clear, I only know that there are about 200 people in our department, scattered all over the world, there is no communication with each other, and they work according to the instructions of their superiors. The ghost's right hand has been looking for you, Gu Tie. This is the only starting point and the ultimate goal, and the whole organization exists for you. Before you show up, we're constantly looking for candidates, looking at countless people with possibilities, until all the possibilities skyrocket in one person, approaching 100% infinitely. This person is you, Gu Tie, Adam of the 'Betrayer' organization, the host of the Quantum Angel Fund, the IPU warrior with a brilliant record, and a Chinese man born in Austria. ā€

"Wait a minute...... Gu Tie has lived so much, he has never found that he is so important, and he has a strange feeling of becoming rich overnight, "Why me?

Eva shook her head, her golden ponytail flicking around; ā€

Gu Tie nodded secretly. From just now, he noticed that Eva used sentences like "can't answer" and "can't answer" many times when answering questions, and the subtext was that he knew the answer to the question, but was forbidden to answer. He began to ask quick questions, trying to find the outline of this forbidden pattern in Eva's answers, and as the speed of the group of questions and answers increased, the time left for the little girl to think became shorter and shorter, and her sense and judgment gradually succumbed to memory and logic, and the quick answers blurted out gradually revealed the real thinking in her brain. It's a psychological test that isn't too useful, but it's perfect for a ghost right-hand member who has to answer all questions.

"You said that there are about 200 people in the department you belong to, what is the name of the department?"

"Can't answer. ā€

"How many of your partners are there in Poland?"

"There are five of them, plus me. It's all inside this bar. ā€

"Who do you report to?"

"'Listener'. ā€

"Who is the 'listener'?"

"Can't answer. ā€

"What was your dinner menu yesterday?"

"Pizza, onion bisque and Caesar salad. ā€

"Who is the host country of this Olympic Games?"

"Japan. ā€

"Who's that guy sleeping on his stomach?"

"Terry. ā€

"What do you do?"

"Recipients. Responsible for receiving task instructions, completing deployment, and conducting network infiltration. ā€

"Was the instruction given by the 'listener'?"

"No, the 'listener' is just the translator of the task instructions. ā€

"Where did that command come from?"

"Can't answer. ā€

"Your cups?"

ā€œ......ā€

Eva raised her eyes and looked at him, but did not say anything.

"Do you have the right to refuse to answer?" Gu Tie raised his eyebrows.

"Nope. ...... 30A怂 Little Lori replied expressionlessly.

"Height?"

"1.40 meters. ā€

"Weight?"

"33 kg. ā€

"How long has the Polish branch been running?"

"Twenty years. ā€

"Where does your event come from?"

"'Listener'. ā€

"Have you been in contact with any other members of the department?"

"Yes. ā€

"For example?"

"In March last year, the five of us went to Estonia with members of the Russian, Belarusian and Lithuanian sections to protect a male candidate. ā€

"The result?"

"He was assassinated. The task failed. ā€

"Who is the assassin?"

"The 'Templar Crusade', the European Executive Department of the Red Brotherhood, is a special team led by two Members of the Round Table. ā€

"Sure enough, they ...... Tell me all the information you have about the Red Brotherhood. ā€

"Can't answer. ā€

"Damn!" Gu Tie slapped the table in frustration. "Now I'll name me, and you tell me the relevant information. ā€

"Okay. ā€

"Hasegawa Collapse. ā€

"The leader of the IPU organization '100 Million Jade Pieces', of Japanese origin and Panamanian nationality, mysteriously disappeared after being developed into a peripheral executor. The task was done by other departments, and we do not know the details. ā€

Ed Yasinski. ā€

"There is no relevant information. ā€

"Betrayer. ā€

"A small group formed by Gu Tie (codenamed Adam), loosely organized and with an unclear purpose, including Xiao Liping (codename Israfael), Rick Williams (codename Sakhir), Zuni Farha Komancher (codename Shamcheel), ......"

"Enough. Gu Tie let out a cold sweat to stop Eva from continuing, the ghost's right hand had already grasped the information of his companions, but it seemed that he did not know the secret of irrational numbers. "How do I get information about the betrayer?"

"Can't answer. ā€

"The Intelligence Investigation Office of the Cabinet of Japan. ā€

"Japan's intelligence services, under the direct management of Chief Cabinet Secretary Alien Fujimoto, are basically controlled by the Red Brotherhood and become one of the seven main departments of the Brotherhood, codenamed 'Asmantis', responsible for network deployment, defense mechanisms, small-scale assault operations, and special technology research. ā€

"The Red Brotherhood. ā€

"Can't answer. ā€

"Round table. ā€

"The highest decision-making body of the Red Brotherhood is composed of forty-four councillors. ā€

"Xenooperatives in the Asmontis underground machine room. ā€

"There is no relevant information. ā€

"What's next?"

"Keep you safe at all costs. ā€

"More detail?"

"Keeping you safe at all costs is the only and all that is the purpose. ā€

"Why?"

"Can't answer. ā€

ā€œ...... Well, so be it. Gu Tie's mouth was dry, he picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the glass, and filled himself with Scotch whisky. Eva also took a glass of Bacardi dark rum in one gulp, and motioned for the half-faced Guise to have another glass.

The two billiards men kept looking at the side, "Are you going to ask me a question next?" asked George, who had a handsome face as a sculpture with Greek features, put down his billiard cue and asked curiously. Bot, who was not tall but had surprisingly thick arms, puffed him with a grin: "Come on, you know more than Eva? ā€

The half-faced eccentric stood quietly behind the counter, serving a plate of salted olives from nowhere.

Gu Tie sorted out his thoughts, "Eva, let me say a few words, please confirm the correctness of these words." ā€

Lori raised her eyelids and glanced at him, nodding noncommittally.

"First, you are obliged to answer any of my questions at all times, to follow me wherever I go, not to interfere with any of my freedoms, and to protect my personal safety at all times. ā€

Eva acquiesced.

"Second, you are obligated to keep the secret of the 'Ghost's Right Hand' and all information that may be directly related to the Ghost's Right Hand. ā€

The blonde girl continues to default.

"Third, when there is a contradiction between Article 2 and Article 1, Article 2 takes precedence. ā€

The Italian girl's silence affirmed.

"Fourth, each of the first cases takes increasing priority, and when necessary, you will refuse my requests, change my course, and interfere with my free will on the grounds of safety. I believe that if I try to kill myself, you will do everything you can to stop me, because what matters is not my personal will, but the fact that I am 'alive' itself. ā€

Eva sat up straight in surprise and nodded.

"Fifth, I believe that there are strong constraints on both basic rules, such as those related to your career, dignity and even personal safety, and I fully understand your actions to abide by the rules of the game. But then a question arises, and the conflict between the first and second rules solves the problem: which is more important, the safety of my life or the secret of the ghost's right hand? If, as you said before, the fundamental meaning of the existence of the 'ghost's right hand' is to find me and protect me, then I believe you have just made a great mistake. You put my life at risk to protect the ghost's secrets, and while it is remarkable to dare to face death, logically you shouldn't have made that gamble. If that laser detonator is real, the Spectre's right hand will be completely destroyed by your mistakes. - I'll give you a few minutes to think about it. ā€

After Gu Tie finished saying a lot of extremely demagogic words, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
