Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'll Strike
The rabbit in a suit and holding a pocket watch is an important character in a well-known story.
This story tells the positive story of a girl named "Alice" who saw the rabbit one day, and then followed the rabbit into a magical world because of curiosity, and gained courage and happiness in her travels and adventures.
At the end of the story, Alice wakes up in a trance, unsure whether the intriguing adventure is real or a fictional dream.
To be honest, Chen Qing really didn't expect that he would be able to see a person so similar to the protagonist of the story in the mirror.
Also called Alice, she has also seen the strange rabbit, and she has also looked for the rabbit and the "fairyland......
Is this part of "forbidden knowledge"?
Or is it a contraindication?
Chen Qing didn't know.
But he knows at least a little.
That is, he knows Alice's story very well, even more than the Alice in the mirror!
And the most interesting part is:
Alice, in the mirror, seemed to be very concerned about this.
The information difference between the two determines Chen Qing's absolute dominant position at the moment.
So after thinking about this, he was not in a hurry: "How do I know? ”
"It's a long story, it's funny, it's ridiculous. Wonderland is a very special place, and even I have rarely seen such a strange landscape. There are many ancient creations in it, such as the March Hare, the Queen of Cards, the Mad Hatter, the Pool of Tears, ......"
The same.
Listening to the words in the mirror, Alice's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
She even began to tremble unconsciously, and that was because of excitement and ecstasy.
Same!
The content of this being in the mirror is almost exactly the same as some of the stories that my mother used to tell me in the past!
No, even the mirror said a lot more than his mother knew.
At least Alice had never heard her mother say anything about the "Queen of Cards" before!
So you're hitting a lot of luck?!
Participate in a random mission and find the secret you want to know the most?
Thinking of this, Alice became excited.
When she was very young, her mother named her "Alice".
According to her mother's meaning, she hopes that Alice will one day be able to reach that wonderful wonderland and explore it, just like the Alice in the story.
And when she grows up, Alice is indeed just like her mother thought, constantly looking for any information related to "Wonderland".
It's just that her perception of fairyland is only the stories her mother told when she was a child.
Her mother once told her three stories, namely "Tea Party", "Mr. White Rabbit" and "Rabbit Hole".
I don't know who circulated these incomplete stories, and it seems that they are no longer polluted. At least Alice wasn't infected when she heard it, and she grew up healthy and healthy.
But, Alice is sure that these stories are not the whole story.
There are definitely more, more clues beyond these three stories. And that fairyland is definitely real.
Because Alice's mother once took Alice's hand and said a word to her before she died.
She said, "Alice, you have to find Wonderland. ”
"Because, we came out of a fairyland. Our ancestors once entered that place, just like Alice in the story. But then he was expelled for various reasons, and he has been until now. ”
"So it's actually our other home, a place we've been looking for all our lives. Every generation of us calls ourselves 'Alice' before we get married, just to get closer to the protagonist of the story, and it's all about finding ......"
"We have to find that place, and then lift the ...... on us"
Alice grabbed her mother's hand and heard her mother spit out two words softly at the end.
She heard those two words very clearly.
It's a "curse".
Curse that has been on her back since her ancestors were expelled from the fairyland!
In order to lift this curse, and to realize the meaning of her life, Alice has never been exhausted in search of answers.
The same goes for the current task and joining the "organization".
Because the organization personally promised that they knew about Wonderland, Alice chose to join.
And now.
The obsession that has haunted her for several years seems to have the possibility of blossoming at this moment!
There was silence for a moment, and Alice stood in front of the mirror.
"Please tell me everything you know."
Alice lowered her head: "Whatever you want, I will try!" ”
Chen Qing, who heard this, breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
He is now more and more sure of Alice's obsession with the so-called "fairyland" in the mirror.
I don't know why, but since the other party has something to ask for, then I can sit on the ground and start the price.
Chen Qingke never felt like a philanthropist!
Smiling, his tone rose slightly: "So, let me ask you again, is this your problem?" That's what you want to get? ”
"Hmm."
Ellie nodded without hesitation: "Other than that, I don't want anything else!" ”
Chen Qing, who was outside the mirror, tapped his fingers on the table: "Very good, since this is the case, then the contract is established." ”
However, the Gate of Truth has always followed the principle of equivalent exchange. If you want to get this secret, you also need to give the opposite in exchange. It can be knowledge, it can be an object. ”
Hearing this, Alice hesitated for a moment.
She finally remembered what the organization had told her.
Never deal with anything taboo that is able to communicate!
But......
Now that the answer seemed to be in sight, she had to consider if this would be her only chance in life!
So in the end, Alice gritted her teeth.
"I see," she nodded heavily, "then, I'm willing to trade my 'twenty years' in exchange." ”
"I'm stupid, I don't know anything, I don't have any treasures. All I have is myself. ”
Alice whispered, "So, I'll trade my next 'twenty years' with you." If you will, then I can send you twenty years. During this period, as long as it is your will, I will not hesitate to carry it out. Except for a few questions of principle, everything is subject to your will. ”
"I'm a Sequence Seven transcendent, and if you convert it into the market price of employment, twenty years should be equivalent to five C-class taboos, or one B-class."
"Other than that, everything I get in the future will be yours."
Alice looked up: "That's all I can give!" ”
Outside the mirror.
Chen Qing's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
A transcendent ...... Twenty years?!
Although he had already guessed Alice's obsession with Wonderland, he really didn't expect that this obsession would be so big that she was willing to hire herself to Chen Qing for twenty years......
What does Wonderland mean to her?
Chen Qing didn't know.
But what he does know is that this opportunity is quite rare!
Compared to the loyalty of Qi Lu and Colin, Alice's twenty years are undoubtedly more valuable.
Because Qi Lu, their humility is lenient.
As long as their interests are contrary to Chen Qing, they will inevitably act in accordance with their own interests.
But Alice is different.
If it is really as she said, then she will become Chen Qing in the mirror world...... Extension of the will!
At that time, Chen Qing's will is Alice's will!
It can be said that Chen Qing has obtained a useful tool man.
And there is no need to worry about betrayal.
Unless someone else knows that story better than Chen Qing, there is no way for Alice to turn his back on him!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously pressed his slightly trembling hand.
"I see."
Chen Qing's face was solemn: "Then, the price is equal and the contract is established." ”
"I will inform you of this forbidden knowledge."
The voice fell.
In the distance, bright lights shone brightly in this direction.
Seeing this light, Alice immediately turned back and hid in the darkness.
Here it comes.
She seemed to realize something, her teeth clenched.
Because contact has been interrupted for a long time, her infiltration is also considered a failure by the organization.
As a result of the failure, in order to protect the dark lines of the organization in the "cave", they will inevitably report the situation.
They have always been so ruthless and cautious.
The only thing that makes them mistaken is probably that Alice's personality will have some ...... Out of tune.
But it doesn't matter.
Alice was only one of the participants in the operation anyway.
And she was also given the taboo that it was absolutely impossible to say the organization's information, even if it fell into the hands of the other party, it was worthless.
So Alice was easily given up.
Just like the call, the communication was easily hung up after confirming that Alice was in the most dangerous "S" Class Forbidden Zone.
By the way, the organization was also very considerate and found a person to "deal with the aftermath".
And at this moment, the direction of that light is the guy who finishes it.
"The director of that forbidden item depository, the 'demigod' of Sequence Three, Li Changsheng!"
Just when Alice was terrified.
It seems to see Alice's own anxiety.
Inside the mirror, Chen Qing's tone was calm: "Don't worry. ”
Because I'm going to shoot.
