Chapter 312
NO.0147: The New Actions of the Heavenly God Path
So Persephone Fanny has quite the influence; no wonder she dared to ask for an entire resettlement area as her private property.
After listening to Bai Rao's explanation, Jiang Zhou thought to himself.
And... no wonder the pharmacist's first destination after arriving at the Nord resettlement area was Lin Yuan's house.
It turns out they came to reclaim the mass production technology of "Pegasus".
Hmm...that makes perfect sense.
The pharmacist also mentioned on his way to Nord that Baptiste Moreau, the man involved in the "raw meat artist" case, was one of his main targets on this trip—that guy had obtained Apollo Biotechnology's unknown technology through his father's company.
Thinking this, Jiang Zhou shifted his focus to the Heavenly God Path.
Ok?
The scene in the Heavenly God's Path made Jiang Zhou pause for a moment.
The Heavenly God Path, who had been setting up his gun near Lin Yuan's house, had now left that sniping position.
But he didn't seem to continue monitoring the pharmacist's movements—something Jiang Zhou had actually been quite worried about. After all, pharmacists had many methods for detecting and tracking people, and it would be troublesome if they continued to follow him and were discovered by that madman.
However, the spot where the Heavenly God Dao was setting up his spear looked strangely familiar to Jiang Zhou...
Thinking about this, Jim couldn't help but curl his lip inwardly.
Isn't this the safe house I set up in the past?
As a private investigator whose job involves offending people, Jim invests a large portion of his consulting fees in purchasing cheap properties in remote locations within resettlement areas so that he has a place to stay if he gets into trouble.
On the one hand, it can be seen as a long-term investment (who knows, it might be expropriated by the government and turned into a core area someday), and on the other hand, it can serve as a safe haven when I need to lay low.
At this moment, the place where Tian Shendao was setting up his gun was one of his own safe houses.
Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, this safe house was the one he had given the key to Kimoto back then…
When he forced his way into the Thrace Club, he specifically gave Kigi the address and security certification of a safe house to prevent any accidents from happening to him. He also told her that if something happened to him, she could temporarily go there to avoid trouble.
But why is the Heavenly God Sect here setting up guns?
Was he planning to ambush someone? Or did he anticipate some unexpected event happening to Ji Mu's side?
Jim felt a little confused for a moment.
Now, he no longer questions the existence of the mysterious Six Paths Theseus—in fact, if it weren't for its micro-management, he would have been chopped into mincemeat by the zombie warrior not long ago—but the fact that Six Paths Theseus came to protect him is still within his comprehension.
But why are you setting up guns over there now?
Okay, let's put aside for now how the Celestial Path discovered the problem... although he still found it absurd. The immediate question was whether he should warn Ji Mu not to come to this safe house should anything happen.
After thinking it over, Jim ultimately decided not to tell Jimi any of this, but simply sent her a message telling her to be careful lately, as someone might try to take advantage of her.
This reminder should suffice, since I only accidentally touched the Hell Path keyboard before, and it was immediately detected by Theseus Freight's security system.
It's best not to cause trouble for Theseus's plans...
Not long after, Ji Mu replied.
(-) Okay~
Then the other party sent another one.
()come on!
Jim couldn't help but laugh out loud, which drew a sidelong glance from Bai Rao, who was standing nearby.
"What, something happy has come to mind?"
She asked.
Jim nodded slightly, offering no explanation.
"I bet it was some girl who contacted you."
She gave Jim a somewhat disdainful look, and then said:
"Here's some advice from someone who's been there—deal with the most troublesome person first."
As she spoke, another general wearing a tengu mask slowly emerged from a nearby alley. He gripped a naginata tightly in both hands, the blade of which was a rapidly spinning chainsaw.
Jim shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it.
"The compatibility is too bad. This thing depends on your performance."
He said helplessly.
Bai Rao rolled her eyes slightly, and at the same time, her right hand began to deform. Where her radius and ulna were, two rapiers with a faint green light extended out from their intersection.
"Young people these days have no sense of responsibility, leaving the elderly to shoulder the burden..."
She muttered to herself.
…………
"I see a highly classified message has been sent to you from the Nord resettlement area. What's going on?"
Before Persephone Fanny could even open her inbox, Christie's voice echoed in her room.
To this, Fanny answered directly to the air in front of her:
"It's a message from Theseus that says he's made some discoveries in Nord that I would find interesting."
Before Fanny could finish speaking, a hand with calloused fingers patted her shoulder, startling her.
"Let me see it too!"
As she spoke, she frowned slightly, looking somewhat annoyed, and continued:
"I finally managed to get the Deepin 2 adjustment and modification for him, but that kid has been gone for so long and hasn't even written a briefing. He doesn't even say whether he did the things I asked him to do well. He found something interesting, but he sent it to you first."
As always, Christie's humanoid interactive interface ignored the closed door and materialized like a ghost from her blind spot.
Fanny, who had been temporarily transferred to the New Prison Abyss Studio for some time, was surprised but also somewhat used to it.
Compared to the previous leaders whose words and actions were unfathomable, the new boss in front of me, who had reached the limits of human intelligence, was quite temperamental—at least that's how it seemed.
Of course, Fanny didn't dislike this kind of leader. On the contrary, she felt far less pressure working with Christie compared to her past experiences with other Riddler executives.
but……
“I’ve already planned to send you a copy. Um, Ms. Christie, could you please remind me before your next visit? I was so startled I almost deleted the file…”
Fanny tried her best to avoid sounding offensive in her tone.
Given her elusive and strange abilities, her new boss really lacked a sense of boundaries.
Christie chuckled at this, her face conveying an attitude of "You're right, but I'm not changing my mind"—which, of course, was exactly what Fanny had expected.
She sighed, then switched to public preview mode and made the document Theseus had sent public.
The moment the file was opened, a sophisticated brain model was projected into the center of the room.
"Hey! Isn't this..."
As Christie spoke, she spread her arms wide like a traffic cop, magnifying a detail in the brain model.
Fanny, standing nearby, immediately spotted something incredibly familiar located in her prefrontal cortex.
Pegasus.
She murmured. (End of Chapter)
