Heavy rain poured down, soaking the entire city, as if a hole had opened in the sky and vented its anger downwards.
Jialongpo is full of high-rise buildings, and the lights of civilization and technology are as bright as the sea of stars. It takes such a summer rainstorm to penetrate and wet its bottom.
After Linyin settled down with Lu Jing, she found a place to access the Internet and sent all the important information she could hack to Ye Zi.
"These messages are really secret. You have to use hacker skills to extract them." Ye Zi browsed the relevant information and felt more and more that Lin Yin was highly skilled.
Linyin was originally just a street hacker. After promotion and training, her hidden talent was fully demonstrated, and now she is no less than an elite hacker.
"I'm very useful." Linyin boasted. She also searched for information about the Nemesis Group, where Linyin had spent her childhood. Those transformations and experiments constituted her original nightmare. And Linyin was destined to
To fight to the death with Aiden Crusher at Jialongpo.
Ye Zi was wearing silk pajamas and checking the list of treasures at tomorrow's auction, feeling more and more interested.
Tomorrow there will be many large factories listed for trading, all of which are smart factories in the Lengwan Industrial Zone's top petrochemical, machinery, microelectronics and other industries. If these core production capacities in Jialongpo are acquired, Nisto's manufacturing capabilities can be said to increase by leaps and bounds.
If they find a fulcrum in Jialongpo, Nisto Company will not only be facing the Eastern Hemisphere, but also the entire world. Starting from Jialongpo, they can expand their relationship network towards Baixiangzhou, Reshuzhou and the Near East in the west, and have a positive impact on the current situation.
This is a big step forward for corporate strategy.
The second small goal of the auction is digital mind.
"Do you really need a digital mind?" Ye Zi asked.
"Of course I don't want to owe this...forget it, please." Linyin requested.
"Don't worry." Ye Zi understood.
The seller of Digital Mind is very mysterious, and no information can be found. Its core architecture is "Helix-Fourth Generation". This core digital mind originates from Western Hemisphere technology and emphasizes the optimization of computing efficiency by advanced algorithms. Xu Yang
The digital mind uses a six-fold cognitive structure, focusing on the use of the human brain itself.
The third important auction item is the artist's "Peacock Puzzle Painting", which makes Ye Zi very interested.
There are 24 paintings in total. It is said that there is a shadow of a peacock on each painting, which is the reason why the painter named Wu is crazy. The peacock on the page is the messenger of the river goddess, spreading her memories and forbidden knowledge.
Two of the paintings have been opened by Yongyi Company and Genting Group, two major local companies in Jialongpo. According to their tests, the peacock puzzle painting can give people "answers".
The process is that the observer first anticipates the question he wants to ask, and then gazes at the painting, and immediately feels the answer emerging from the painting and entering his mind.
Isn't this the world's top oracle question and answer machine? Ye Zi secretly thought.
However, it is impossible to answer everything in the world.
"What problem did the company people answer with those two paintings?" Ye Zi asked.
"Based on the information I hacked, they picked two out of nine questions to ask the riddle: the path beyond the tower; the grand unified theory; the means to transcend the limits of telomere division in living organisms; the creation of this universe
The meaning of; Navier-Stokes equation; how humans become qualified... There are three others that are not clear yet. I don’t know what they chose. Do they really want to ask an ancient god about modern technology?
"
"The memory of the River Goddess is a record of all past history... There may have been civilizations more advanced than ours in the past." Ye Zi guessed.
All in all, this is not a simple painting, but a medium that can convey knowledge.
Similarly, the starting price of each painting is calculated in hundreds of millions. That knowledge may change the trend of the world, or may point to some mysterious ancient technology.
Judging from the clues collected so far, all parties will focus on snapping up and competing for these paintings.
Even if Nisto Company buys 5 or 6 paintings, it will be considered a profit, and there is no need to acquire them all. Its purpose is ambiguous and may not answer the questions they really need.
Ye Zi is thinking hard about the bidding strategy.
At this moment, manager Qiu Shanyue reported to Ye Zi.
"Miss Kojima...there are guests in the lobby who want to see you." Qiu Shanyue lowered her voice and said in a weak tone.
"who?"
"She refused to reveal her name and said that you must see her because her existence is very... important and special. If you miss her, you will lose a major opportunity. In short... very mysterious." Qiu Shanyue said,
At the same time, the video message is sent to Ye Zi.
There was a very strange woman sitting in the lobby.
She was wrapped in a bright red plastic awning from head to toe. She didn't know what big umbrella it was torn from. She was soaked all over. She was sitting on the sofa, and the rain soaked the entire sofa. The waiters around her looked on.
Feeling uncomfortable, I wanted to help her change, but she refused anyone to come close and her voice was hoarse.
"Take her to my room." Ye Zi observed carefully.
"Yes." Although Qiu Shanyue was afraid of risks, she was even more afraid of disobeying Ye Zi's will, so she immediately ordered someone to take the woman in the lobby to Ye Zi's room.
Ye Zi said goodbye to Linyin. She felt she knew who the woman in the red awning was.
She sat in front of the dressing table to repair her nails, and then injected her forearm with a cell repair liquid. This liquid is mixed with spices and can greatly improve people's aging conditions.
Judging from Ye Zi's observation, "aging" is more like a sudden change than a gradual process. First, he enjoys twenty or thirty years of youth, and then his body function suddenly deteriorates. All the late nights, bad habits and hidden diseases suddenly break out.
Like the trap of impermanence, it destroys all vitality.
After taking the medicine, she ordered food and then heard footsteps stopping at the door.
Ye Zi opened the door with her eyes and slid the door along the magnetic track. She saw the woman wrapped in a red awning.
"Are you relieved now?" Ye Zi tried to lift the awning off her body, but she hit Ye Zi's hand hard.
The security personnel escorting him wanted to use violence, but Ye Zi stopped him.
"Go, go, I'm fine." Ye Zi said with a smile.
After the security personnel left, Ye Zi pulled her into the room.
As she walked, the floor was stained with rainwater, and the leaves smelled the unpleasant smell of blood, which reminded her of many dark memories. Fights ran through their lives, and there were countless corpses along the way.
The names of countless dead people flashed through Ye Zi's mind. She closed the door and pulled down the awning. She saw a very young, indifferent girl with light blond hair and bloodshot eyes, covered from head to toe in secret writing.
Black symbol, dirty body, I don’t know how much suffering I have suffered along the way.
"Why are you wrapped up like this, Wong Wong?" Kojima Yezi sat on the bed.
"They will come after me."
"Who?"
"Invisible Guards." The hornet's eyes were a little distracted.
"More than double digits?" Ye Zi immediately became alert.
"Afraid? I can leave now." Wasp felt tired.
"I'm scared, because this hotel was attacked just once during the day. Even a group of thugs can't resist it, let alone the invisible guards?" Ye Zi said with a smile, and then tasted the disappointment on the face of the hornet.
"Do you mean it's better for me to die?" Wasp took out a small box from his arms and put it on the table.
Ye Zi opened the box, which contained a large smart chip, specially used to synthesize mental slots.
"How much is this worth?" Ye Zi asked.
"This is an A40, it's not worth anything. I'm sorry to bother you." Wasp walked out.
"Don't be too sad." Ye Zi approached from behind and held Wasp's hand.
Not long after, the waiter who delivered the food delivered the food through the anti-drift express tunnel. Ye Zi snapped his fingers and an eyeball robot flew out from the square box on the ground. He helped them open the dark cabinet on the wall and filled it with food.
The food was brought out.
Wasp's eyes lit up when she saw the fried chicken burger, tomato beef soup, barbecue steak, spicy burrito, cheese hot dog and Coke on the tray. She rushed over and quickly picked up the food and stuffed it into her mouth, wolfed it down, and opened it.
I poured the Coke cap into my mouth.
Ye Zi looked at the wasp with soft eyes, he just took out a chicken wing from the meat platter on the tray and tore it into small bites.
Watching the wasp eating Haisai, Ye Zi slowly talked to her.
"Our current resources are very limited, and there isn't much we can do for you. Have you heard of the Witch God?" Ye Zi said.
"...The God of Witches promised me freedom. She let me work here, and I did get...some progress. Do you mean you want me to return to the God of Witches? I'm...a little scared."
The wasp raised its head.
Sometimes in her crazy and confusing dreams, she dreamed that she was lying on a silver dinner plate and a brown-haired woman was eating her.
"You should really be afraid, because what the God of Witches gives you often comes with a price that will make you regret it. So you must come to me and be protected by me. This is also the reason why you chose Xisheng Hotel.
"Ye Zi comforted softly.
"The news said there was a gun battle here, you are back, and there is the ship." Wasp recognized the Nestor Company from the red Innovation.
"Wait here for now." Ye Zi persuaded him kindly.
The wasp ate half of the food and then developed a sore throat.
She blankly stretched out her hands to the projection lights floating in the air. They looked like some fish swimming in the steam waves. Her hands touched those colorful fish schools over and over again, feeling like she was standing somewhere in the sea.
Inside, the lights in the room were deliberately dimmed to make it easier to see the sparkling lights on the ground.
The wasp's mind was completely absorbed by these visions of fish and flowing water.
What she wanted was actually very little. Ye Zi looked at the wasp, and then cautiously squatted by the window.
boom!
A bullet hit the bulletproof window and shot out a fragment, which scratched Ye Ye's delicate face and left a scar instantly.
"Coming!" screamed the wasp.
"Don't worry." Ye Zi quietly closed all the curtains, and at the same time asked people to check the surrounding situation, and then mobilized the combat power of the Witch Department.
"..." The hornet said nothing. In order to bring the hornet back, Blackfire Innovation put most of its real-time combat power into Jialongpo.
The hotel will be attacked a second time.
"How is the situation?" Ye Zi asked the hotel security department.
Most of the people were killed by the gangsters in the afternoon, but some were still alive. The newly purchased combat robots were piled at the door to add to their combat effectiveness.
But Ye Zi knows that if they encounter real enemies, they will melt like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and their defense lines will be as fragile as paper.
"We detected a lot of people... approaching from various intersections, like paramilitaries."
"How many?"
"There are hundreds of them, mixed with some high-risk units, like heavily armored mercenaries and others. I suggest you retreat!"
