Chapter 179: Meet Old Tang Again
"You can call me that, but I prefer you to call me EVA, of course, you can also call me senior sister, Norma and I are both personality variants of the same intelligence center, different fusion methods of neurons, although I and Norma's memory and information base are the same, but the logic of personality language is still different."
"Understood, then Senior Sister EVA, do you need me to do anything?" Zheng Shu's face showed an expression of surprise.
"Your mission is twofold, one is to ensure your own safety, and the other is to assist the Lumingfei Action Team as much as possible. I had already made contact with Caesar nineteen minutes ago, but I learned through surveillance that they were surrounded and attacked, and I couldn't get accurate information about them because of the hindrance of the Japanese branch Kaguyahime, can Zheng Shuling get their specific information? ”
"Coincidentally, I do know what happened to them." Zheng Shu smiled, although he didn't type, he was sure that Norma could see his current situation through the voice receiver and camera that came with the monitor.
"EVA: What is the source of intelligence? Is it dangerous to you? How realistic is it? ”
"Rest assured, the source is absolutely true and safe, I saw the news on TV." Zheng Shu moved the camera of the monitor to the TV screen, and the TV model of Uesugi Yue was too old and had no networking function at all.
After seeing the wanted notice scrolling on the TV, EVA was silent for a moment, as if searching for something, before continuing typing on the screen for a long time.
"EVA: A search of all public news reports has been carried out to confirm that there is no information that the commissioner of the headquarters has been arrested, but it cannot be ruled out that this is misinformation released by the enemy."
"Shall I go out and find it?" Although Zheng Shu didn't tell Norma what he saw, he didn't mind taking Lu Mingfei's group back directly, anyway, his purpose now was to delay time and wait for the target to take the bait, and it didn't necessarily have to wait until the three of them joined Gao Tianyuan as a cowherd.
The main reason why I didn't go out to pick them up before was that it was troublesome, anyway, there was a duo of nurses to take care of them, so I didn't have to worry about any problems with the three of them.
“……”
There was a slight silence, as if waiting for an order from the professors in the executive department, before EVA typed on the screen again:
"EVA: No, all the safe houses have been abandoned, your priority is to keep yourself safe. According to Japan's air traffic control regulations, moving an aircraft will leave a record, and Snake Hachiya will find you based on the flight record, so your best bet is to stay where you are and stay where you are and reduce your travel footprints. Principal Angers has boarded the plane and is expected to arrive in Japan in eight hours, and after settling the matter of the Snake Eight Family, he will go to your location to pick you up. ”
After typing these words, EVA disappeared before Zheng Shu could answer, and before she left, she cleared all the records by the way, and the display changed back to the original game selection interface.
Zheng Shu checked it and found that he had already won the game he had just played, and it seemed that EVA had helped him win a game by the way when he contacted him.
"Is that old thing coming to Anges?"
A voice came from behind Zheng Shu, and Uesugi walked out of the bedroom. Just now, he had been taking care of the sleeping Ruri Kazama in the next bedroom, and I don't know when he discovered the conversation between Zheng Shu and Norma.
"How do you see that? Didn't get discovered by Norma, right? Zheng Shu unplugged the network cable of the game console without looking back.
"No, I'm watching the chat box with the reflection of the TV screen, and I don't project my own figure into the camera." Uesugi sat down at the small table and filled the teacups on the table with tea, "I hate that old guy in Ange, if he comes, you tell me, I'll move out early, so that guy won't find my address again." ”
As he spoke, Uesugi Koshi's tone was full of dissatisfaction, and it seemed that he really didn't have a good impression of Ange.
"Don't worry, even if you move out now, the headmaster probably knows your address, you must know that Kaguya didn't block Norma's visit request in the past few decades, and all your actions are basically controlled by the headmaster." Zheng Shu said gloating while sorting out the game console.
"What?!" Uesugi Yue's voice suddenly rose, startling Mia, who was sitting at the table next to her and watching the drama on her mobile phone, "Are you saying that all my actions over the years have been under the nose of that old thing?" How can it be? I didn't feel any surveillance! ”
"Old man, you are outdated, after so many years, everyone has long since used manpower to monitor, as long as you are exposed to the range of the camera, Norma and Kaguyahime's computing power can capture your location."
"Alas......" Uesugi sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to sigh at his own negligence or sigh at the development of the times.
"That's not right!" Uesugi suddenly thought of something, and looked up at the monitor and game console that Zheng Shu bought, "Then won't these things you bought reveal our existence?" According to you, it seems that there is the same artificial intelligence on our side that will search for our location. ”
Zheng Shu glanced back at Uesugi Yue with some surprise, he didn't expect this old antique to be able to summarize so much information in such a short period of time.
"Don't worry, I only started to turn on the console after precise calculations, and Kaguya didn't know about my existence until then."
Listening to Zheng Shu's confident words, Uesugi Yue's brows furrowed: "Calculation? What is the basis of your calculations? ”
"Of course, it's time for our headmaster to act." Zheng Shu took out the new mobile phone he had just bought and showed the picture on it to Uesugi Yue, "To be more precise, half an hour ago, the principal updated his status on Twitter, which he announced himself. ”
"What a flamboyant approach, Hilbert Jean Angers has always been such a flamboyant person." Uesugi looked at Ange's photo on the screen, and his tone was full of emotion.
"The headmaster, although flamboyant, is not a reckless person, so I'm sure he must have used some method to break the communication restrictions of Kazuki Ji before this." Zheng Shu put the phone back and continued to turn his head to sort out the game console and network cables, "That's why I opened the game console and logged in to my account, just so that Norma has a 'coordinate' to find me." Now under Norma's protection, all traces of me on the Internet will be erased by her, so it's really safe now. ”
"Well, what about these phones?" Uesugi looked at Mia, who was chasing the drama next to him, and his expression was still a little vigilant.
"Ah, don't worry about this, these mobile phones are all mobile phone cards that have been re-applied for after coming to Japan, and they are all fake identities, and they have not been registered with Norma. With the current situation of online battles, even EVA should not have enough additional computing power to check if it is my mobile phone. Zheng Shu was not worried.
In fact, the deathmatch between EVA and Kaguya continues on the network, although EVA's computing power does allow her to maintain access to Japan's communication network and suppress Kaguya in this cyber war. But Kaguya, herself, will also cause a lot of pressure on EVA, and she has no energy left to find Zheng Shu's newly opened account.
And for some unknown reasons, ensuring Lu Mingfei's safety is her biggest purpose in the underlying logic of EVA, so most of EVA's current computing power is concentrated on Lu Mingfei's side, and she only paid a little attention to Zheng Shu.
"Huh?" As he spoke, Zheng Shu suddenly made a confused sound, causing Uesugi to look up at him nervously.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly found something more surprising, don't worry." Zheng Shu behaved very perfunctorily.
Uesugi was very puzzled by his behavior, and cautiously went out for a circle, making sure that he was not being watched, and then returned to the room with some strange feelings. Looking at Zheng Shu, who was lying on the floor, seemingly bored looking at the sky through the window, Uesugi could only blame the situation on Zheng Shu's eccentric personality.
Zheng Shu was lying on the floor, using his power to refract the light and observe things in the distance, not paying attention to Uesugi Yue muttering to himself in his heart, he was now observing the encounter between Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang.
That's right, it's Old Don.
To be precise, in the Internet café where Lu Mingfei and they were attacked, Old Tang was already inside before they went. As for the reason for going there, after all, this Internet café has some very glamorous services, such as paying to put yourself on the girl's lap, which is considered a soft (harmonious) sex Internet café, but it is also a legal place of business that complies with the current laws and regulations in Japan.
Lao Tang and Lu Mingfei's personalities are very similar, although they are cheap, but they have a lustful heart and no lust. The difference with Lu Mingfei is that his mobility is a little stronger, so after trying a beautiful girl's knee pillow once, this otaku who didn't dare to go to the maid bar would go to this Internet café once a day to order such a knee pillow service.
Fortunately, he obtained a large amount of gold from Zheng Shu at the beginning, and left a lot of surplus after buying a house and furniture in Japan, although the price of this service is not cheap, it is still within the range that Lao Tang can afford.
And these "shoe grinding women" also like Lao Tang's guest very much, because the other party is not only generous, but also never messes with his hands and feet.
The most important thing is that this appearance of Lao Tang has been modulated by Konstantin himself, although Konstantin didn't plan to make Old Tang look good at the beginning, but with his aesthetics, even the so-called "ordinary" can be regarded as "handsome" in the eyes of most people.
So these female employees who work in Internet cafes also like Lao Tang's naming very much, after all, if they are outside, Lao Tang, a high-quality man who is both rich and beautiful, if they want to get closer, they will probably have to face a group of competitors.
As it is now, as long as you kneel on the ground, you can enjoy each other's beauty and make money at the same time. If you're lucky, you might even be able to win the favor of the other party and catch this golden beetle.
For this reason, there has even been an upsurge of open and secret fighting among the female employees working in this Internet café, and the service enjoyed by Lao Tang, as a party, is naturally getting better and better.
Therefore, when the group of mobs broke into the Internet café, Old Tang was lying on the lap of a beautiful girl enjoying her ear-picking service.
Originally, I thought it was an ordinary underworld trouble, although it was relatively rare, but Lao Tang, who had been in Japan for a short time, had basically seen it a few times. However, he soon realized that things did not seem to be quite right, the other party's equipment was a little too good for the gangs, everyone was aggressive with shotguns and machetes, and judging by their demeanor, they might even have taken drugs.
So Old Tang suddenly became vigilant, because he still remembered what the reason for his coming to Japan was, so he was worried that the mastermind behind the scenes had found his hiding place and wanted to kill people.
But soon, Caesar's battle with the mobs made Old Tang let go of his worries, and it looked like an ordinary quarrel and provoking trouble.
Old Tang used to be a bounty hunter on the dark web, and the necessary military qualities were still there, taking advantage of the chaos of the war between the two sides, Old Tang quietly left the Internet café and hid in the building next to him.
I wanted to leave like this while the chaos was over, but when the leader of the rampaging clan took Lu Mingfei as a hostage, he suddenly stopped.
"That cheap face...... It looks a lot like a big-headed bear......" Old Tang was stunned for a moment.
Lu Mingfei used a bear with a big head as the avatar in that interstellar group, and Lao Tang was Lu Mingfei's very important friend for a long time, in fact, Lu Mingfei also had the same status for Lao Tang.
Because of the blood sorrow brought about by the bloodline, although Lao Tang is very cheap on the surface and can mix well with anyone, in fact, only Lu Mingfei is a real friend.
I don't know how many nights they roared around on the interstellar map, and when Lu Mingfei wanted to interview for a foreign school, Lao Tang also made a video with him to help him correct his accent. Because he met Don, Lu Mingfei always felt that there was a friendly place on the map of the United States, that is, Brooklyn, New York, where Don lived in New York.
Although when he first came to Japan to live in seclusion, in order to prevent the enemy from finding his place through his game account, Old Tang had to give up his favorite star for a long time and began to play various controller games.
However, after about a year or so, Lao Tang quietly logged in to his original game account and continued to play interstellar with Lu Mingfei at night.
Looking at the pale face of Lu Mingfei on the roof of the Internet café in the distance, who was coerced by the other party with a firearm, Lao Tang's original steps to leave finally stopped.
Sighing helplessly, Old Tang sneaked back into the building of the Internet café again, and snatched the firearms and equipment from a mob after knocking him unconscious, Old Tang quietly leaned towards the top of the building, intending to shoot a righteous backstab from the back to save his only friend.
Fortunately, Chu Zihang and Caesar acted quickly enough, and when Old Tang was still entangled, they had already completed the rescue of Lu Mingfei.
But unfortunately, when this incident was about to end, Lu Mingfei was shot through the side of his neck by a bullet from the shadows in order to save Caesar.
Looking at the trio who were carrying Lu Mingfei and leaving quickly, Old Tang thought for a while, hid the captured firearm behind his waist and quietly followed.
Along the way, looking at the wanted notices scrolling on the big screens around him and the police searching around, Don also realized that the enemies he faced as a gaming friend were a little more terrifying than he imagined.
Originally, he thought that according to the skills and mobility of Caesar and Chu Zihang, it was very likely that they were also people in a big force, and he thought that as long as they arrived at the safe house arranged by their own forces, there should be no big problems.
As a result, he watched these two people run dozens of kilometers with Lu Mingfei on their backs, and ran back to Tokyo stiffly, and then spun around like a headless fly for more than ten minutes, and finally even had to go to the advertising car next to him to ask for help.
Looking at the advertisement about the cowherd shop printed on the car, Lao Tang really couldn't bear to let his brother go through such a miserable thing, and finally took the initiative to show up.
"Who!" As soon as Old Tang appeared, Caesar realized the existence of the other party.
Looking at the seemingly harmless old Tang Caesar's heart, in order to prevent someone from chasing him, he has always maintained a minimum of opening the sickle, theoretically a person within 100 meters of him will be aware of the heartbeat.
But the Asian in front of him, who didn't look like a Japanese, could hide quietly, and if it wasn't for the other party's initiative to expose it, Caesar wouldn't even know that someone was following him all along.
"Hey, brother, calm down, I have no ill will towards you." Old Tang very decisively raised his hands to show his harmlessness, "Believe it or not, I'm here to help you." ”
Chu Zihang turned his head to look at Old Tang with Lu Mingfei on his back, panting while secretly preparing to speak.
He and Caesar were in a very bad state, first exhausted their physical strength in the abyss, and after several days of drifting at sea and finally being rescued, they fought with the rampant people non-stop, and finally ran dozens of kilometers with Lu Mingfei on their backs, and Caesar and Chu Zihang only ate a few breads during this period.
Even if it is a half-blood, at this point, it is actually close to running out of oil, and the reason why they are still insisting is purely relying on the will in their hearts to support it.
In the face of the sudden appearance of the old Tang, both Caesar and Chu Zihang are like great enemies, even if the other party is not a half-blood, facing an ordinary thug in their current state will suffer a lot.
What's more, the person in front of him also showed a superb hiding skill, Chu Zihang didn't dare to imagine it at all, in case the other party had malicious intentions towards himself and others and hid in the distance and shot at a distance, he and Caesar would probably not be able to dodge.
Fortunately, on the other hand, since the other party is willing to show up, there is a high probability that there is really no malice as he said. However, just in case, Chu Zihang and Caesar still secretly prepared their own words.
"I want to ask, is the person on your back called Lu Mingfei?" Seeing the vigilance of the two people in front of him, Old Tang didn't stimulate them.
Glancing at Lu Mingfei's pale face, he planned to use his friend as a breakthrough to gain their trust.
Chu Zihang and Caesar glanced at each other, and the look of vigilance in the eyes of both began to rise.
They already knew about the betrayal of the Japanese branch, and now the whole of Japan was an enemy. Theoretically speaking, the only ones who have no ill will towards them are Zheng Shu and Commissioner Mia, who are also from the headquarters, and the people in front of them are obviously not, but the other party knows Lu Mingfei's name, so it is also ruled out that it is a passer-by who is ready to help Lu Jianping.
"I'm friends with Lao Lu, my name is Lao Tang, I often play interstellar with Lao Lu, I used to live in Brooklyn, New York, I don't know if he told you." Obviously feeling that the two of them even showed a killing intent, Lao Tang immediately raised his hands a little higher and quickly explained the relationship between himself and Lu Mingfei.
"Old Don?" Hearing Old Tang say this, Caesar was a little undecided, and turned his head to look at Chu Zihang on the side.
"Lu Mingfei does like to play interstellar in his free time, and he also said that he often teams up with other people to fight." Chu Zihang nodded at Caesar and confirmed the information that Old Tang said.
"But that doesn't tell you who you are, you're just gaming friends, how do you know what he looks like, and why are you here?" Caesar raised his voice slightly.
"Lao Lu was going to apply to a foreign school, so he asked me to give him admission guidance, so the two of us had a video conversation." Old Tang struggled to recall what he knew.
"By the way, Lao Lu said that the school he was going to apply to was a card ...... Kahol College, if you were his friend, you should know what university he attended. Don't look at me like this, I used to be a bounty hunter on the dark web, and the reason why I was in Japan was to avoid being hunted by my employer. disappeared for almost a year, and only reconnected with the old road some time ago. ”
After Chu Zihang heard Old Tang's words, he obviously became a lot more relaxed, Caesar noticed Chu Zihang's changes, and focused on Old Tang while glancing at it with a puzzled look.
"I heard Lu Mingfei complain that he has a friend who hasn't been online for a long time, and a few months ago he suddenly became very happy, saying that this friend is back online, and he is right in time." Chu Zihang saw Caesar's eyes looking at him, and took the initiative to help explain.
"Huh......" Hearing Chu Zihang's explanation, Caesar finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm not too sure if what the other party said is really true, but they have just been forced to seek help from the Cowherd Shop, and in comparison, it is better to believe the so-called Lu Mingfei's game friend in front of them.
"Hey, buddy, it's useless for us to confront each other like this, and it's not good if someone finds out. It's better to go to my house and talk about it, I see that Lao Lu is seriously injured and needs treatment now. Seeing that the two of them relaxed, Old Tang also suggested while the iron was hot.
Chu Zihang and Caesar glanced at each other, and after a short thought, they nodded and agreed to his proposal: "Okay! ”
