When Gambler returned to the submarine, he happened to meet Stranger in the corridor. The latter greeted him and said: "I came back just in time. The boss called a meeting and asked everyone to go to the bridge to stand by. //"" .《//”
Gambling Snake responded and walked forward side by side with Stranger.
Stranger pointed to the blood stains on Gambler's clothes: "Is this injury serious? Do you want me to take a look?"
Gambler shook his head: "A little scratch." This level of damage was not considered torture at all to him.
The two walked all the way to the bridge, and when they opened the electronic door and entered, the members of the Reverse Cross were all present.
Tianyi saw that everyone was in place and said, "There are a few things I want to announce." He took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket and unfolded it, "This is a sketch I just took the time to draw. I haven't seen it yet. If you want to meet her in person, let's use her painting to get to know her. This is Gu Ling, the consultant's sister and the CEO of Silver Shadow." After the introduction, he carefully folded the paper and put it back in his pocket.
"You can actually draw, I didn't know it," the consultant said.
Tianyi Daodao: "My superb skills in forging art can fill up the Grand Canyon. Drawing a sketch is nothing. I can help your sister paint an oil painting or make a sculpture some other time. It's all a piece of cake."
"Who would want so many portraits and sculptures of themselves? Wouldn't it look narcissistic to have them at home?" the consultant replied.
"Then leave it here for me."
"What's your idea..."
Tianyi changed the topic and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. Because the consultant's sister and I have reached some kind of agreement, so I will temporarily leave the organization for a while and go on vacation. When I come back, what will happen to me?" Cross and Silver Shadow should form a solid alliance."
"I understand, you want to go on your honeymoon with his sister." Xue Xiao said with a smile.
"How did you analyze it?" The consultant was shocked.
"If we reach some kind of agreement, shouldn't we register for marriage? Then we'll go on vacation." The blood owl replied.
"Maybe the way I expressed it caused some misunderstandings. When I said 'take a vacation', I meant to complete something. The woman thought she gave me a problem. In fact, for me, doing this is not the same as having fun. It's just as easy as anything." Tianyi explained: "In short, don't try to find me during my absence. If something serious happens, just go to the consultant. Before I come back, you can move freely and continue the research at hand, or Whether it’s contacting related organizations, etc., you can make up your own mind.”
The blood owl sneered: "Put the whole thing on my brother-in-law, and you and Niuer will be happy, right?"
"Don't think that because you are strong in combat, you can speak freely." The consultant turned to look at the blood owl and threatened.
"I decided to reuse this brother-in-law meme from now on to express my dissatisfaction with toilet meme advocates like you." Blood Owl said: "It seems to be very interesting." Because of the incident in Venice, Blood Owl has been looking for He had a chance to retaliate against the advisor, but now that the two were in the same camp, retaliation by force was unlikely. Fortunately, Tianyi found such a channel for him today.
"Consultant, please take the time to give her a message for me. I didn't even take the bookstore with me this time, so I went to help her handle the matter." Tian walked out and said: "Zuodao, get me a holiday." ID, please lend me some cash by the way, I want to buy a plane ticket."
"If you want money, ask the accountant to get it." Zuo Dao had long heard the consultant complain about this guy not paying back the money he owed. How could he be fooled like this.
The accountant was dissatisfied and said: "You treat me like a bank ambassador?" Complaints were complaints, but he and Zuo Dao followed the boss out obediently.
… …
June 10, 2101, Tiandu.
Kou Linzai was carrying his gourd, walking like a drunk wandering the streets, walking all the way through the aisles of the HL headquarters and arriving at a conference room.
Opening the electronic door and going in, four people were already sitting inside, three of them were officials from the imperial court, and one was Lieutenant General Ju Sheng from the HL headquarters.
Seeing this drunken prince wandering in, several officials showed displeasure. After letting them sit here and wait for so long, was it too much
In fact, the officials of the imperial court have been resentful of Kou Linzai for a long time. Although he has a royal status and a noble family, he has never seen this guy befriending any party. If anyone comes to curry favor with him, he will pretend to be confused and accept the benefits. When doing things, just think that your filial piety is a sign of shame. (Search "" on Baidu to view the latest updates of this book) Whoever tries to trick him will not be able to take advantage of him, and will often end up in trouble.
In short, this man is crazy and extremely difficult to deal with. It's not like he doesn't love money, but he doesn't accept bribes. As for women, no one dares to give them to him. Everyone knows that his bad behavior is the result of his dead wife. .
Therefore, this Lord Drunken Lord basically has no weaknesses. It is very difficult to bring him down. And since he does not participate in party struggles, there is little chance of making a mortal enemy. No one will bother to kill a guy who has no position.
As time goes by, Kou Linzai's position is getting higher and higher. If you look at his resume and the cases he has handled, you will understand that he seems to have mixed success and failure, but in fact he has achieved great results. Those so-called mistakes are often "accidental" Let a character like Tokishi escape or something like that.
Take the Shishi incident as an example. If this matter really needs to be investigated, he is not responsible for the scene at all. If you want to deal with Kou Linzai, will Lieutenant General Carmen who is present also do it together? Furthermore, if the deputy director of EAs really wants to run away, who can stop him? Regarding the various behaviors of that waiter, there is still room for discussion, and no conclusion can be made for the time being.
It doesn't matter if there are some mistakes like this. Kou Linzai's military rank has continued to increase, becoming a brigadier general. The disgust and helplessness of the court officials towards him still exist, but it is probably getting harder and harder to make him disappear from sight. .
"Sir, you came early today, thank you for your hard work." Ju Sheng said with a smile. He knew this sir quite well. Kou Linzai was only twenty minutes late and it was just to give face, which means that the content of this meeting is very important.
"Serve the people!" Kou Linzai fell down and sat on the chair. When he said the word "submit", he spat on the faces of the three officials. It was not known whether he was deliberately mocking something.
Several adults took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their glasses, and wiped their bald heads, "Um... Sir, where's your report... you probably didn't bring it with you." They saw that Kou Linzai didn't bring documents at all, but only brought drinks. When the gourd arrived, I thought he had forgotten the purpose of his visit.
Unexpectedly, the other party took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and pushed it in front of Ju Sheng: "General Ju, put it down for me... put it down for a moment, my hands are shaking a little."
Where can you stop your trembling hands? Are you shaking when you speak? The officials sighed in their hearts, they really didn’t know how long this meeting would last.
Ju Sheng didn't seem to care. He took the USB flash drive and went to the main computer in the conference room to plug it in. Then, the image was transmitted to the three-dimensional imager in the middle of the conference table.
Kou Linzai used his "trembling" hands to open the computer screen in front of him, then quickly operated on the keyboard, and began his explanation: "Let's not talk about the number and identities of the escaped prisoners. This week The data in the report keeps changing, but we can't get accurate numbers, let alone find out their identities one by one.
Let's take a look at the losses we can confirm... In terms of personnel, I won't name the deceased. Anyway, you have a list of the prison's current personnel. Except for Warden Jefferson and Warden Sean, there are no others. The living people, including a commissioner sent by evolution, are still dead but not visible. "
As Kou Linzai explained, the three-dimensional images on the conference table also changed, displaying relevant information from all angles.
"The two survivors are currently being interrogated in a department that I have no access to. I think you should know their situation and confessions better than I do. I have nothing to tell you.
In addition, three submarines of the First Fortress were sunk, and you should also have the death list of the sergeants on the ships. Of course, there is nothing to say about the names of these navies. After all, politicians and soldiers think about problems differently. , to politicians, it is just a very ordinary list. Unless the number of casualties is too large or some important figures are killed, there is nothing to care about. "
"Ah hum..." Ju Sheng cleared his throat, "This room is quite dry. It makes my throat uncomfortable. I'm sorry."
Kou Linzai borrowed the opportunity to bring up the subject: "The most serious manpower loss in this incident was probably the Heavenly Guards. Among the seven Heavenly Guards dispatched, two died, and the whereabouts of another one are unknown. The rest escaped. The four people also went to the department that I couldn't access. You can get the relevant confessions yourself.
What I want to say is that Mr. Joseph Nolan, the instant attendant, is a trustworthy person. I believe that his appearance at Tide Prison on the morning of June 2nd was to prevent the escape from happening, or to reduce the damage. Regarding In the video of the reverse cross, the scene where he and the prisoners attacked Javidon Hal is completely explainable, if I were there... "
"We will investigate this matter, Sir. If you have relevant information to provide, you can submit a written report." An official interrupted.
Another person said: "But according to the analysis of the intelligence department, judging from his uncooperative attitude after the Xingtian robbery of Shenwu in Xingyue Lian County last time, and his performance in escaping afterwards, this person's position is very problematic."
A third official also added: "Wherever he appears, the Heavenly Guard dies, and the Divine Mist is taken away, and the Tidal Prison is broken. There is obviously a certain connection between the two events. If the batch of Divine Mist is successfully transported to Hell Island , maybe Jefferson has enough emergency resources to control the situation. We have reason to suspect that the EAs should be responsible for the leakage of the intelligence transported by Shenwu."
"Huh... So, as long as they are from EAs, from the director to the gatekeeper, those confessions will not be accepted in the case of Shi Shi?" Kou Linzai said with a smile, he was worried about the conspiracy hidden behind this matter. It can be said that he knew it very well. He reasoned with his heels, and he could also understand that it must be the Kress family who was exerting pressure in the dark. Everyone knew that the fat second-generation official in the bureau was narrow-minded. After the grudge, he has been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. This time, it must be Clais who is trying to trick his father.
"Okay, let's talk about the personnel losses here." Kou Linzai pressed a few more keys and called up the next file: "As for the material aspects..."
At this time, the three-dimensional imaging system presented a virtual tide-attack prison on the conference table.
"Based on the subsequent underwater exploration, the preliminary conclusion is that the break of Hell Island in the sea is exactly at the same horizontal height as the space where the energy furnace at the bottom of the prison is located. This is where it is."
As Kou Linzai explained, the three-dimensional image also changed accordingly.
"There are two possibilities for this situation. The first is that Javidun Hal regained his ability for some reason in prison and directly lifted the island, so that the underwater island body broke, which happened to cut off the energy source. supply, all the prevention and emergency facilities inside the island collapsed.
The second possibility is that someone accurately found the location of the energy furnace in the sea and carried out a long-range precision strike powerful enough to penetrate the pure alloy, and then the above situation happened. To accomplish this, it would be very difficult to rely on manpower, and we would have to resort to underwater weapons.
Judging from the way Counter Cross provides images to the world and what Tianyi said, more than 90% of the jailbreaks were caused by Counter Cross using some kind of advanced underwater combat unit. However, the detection radars of the First Fortress, Tiandu, and the Tidal Prison itself were monitoring the vast sea area around Hell Island at all times, and there was no sign of anything approaching on the radar.
All in all, I am afraid that I can only ask Jefferson about the cause of the matter.
Let's look at the losses afterwards... A nuclear warhead, nothing to say, flew away; the three Great White Sharks sent by the First Fortress were killed by the Sky Eagles on the Freedom Front. After all, the combat effectiveness was not on the same level, and there was nothing we could do about it. . After they picked up the prisoners, they blocked the satellite signals and escaped from the radar detection range.
All the artificial facilities of the Tidal Prison were destroyed. The island lifted by Javidon, after several deformations and twists, roughly turned into a trophy shape. When we watched the image, the island seemed to be floating in the air. , in fact, there is support at the bottom, similar to the shape of an ice cream cone. He probably no longer has the energy to hold such a large object all the time. After the battle, the uppermost layer was continuously deformed and destroyed, and finally it became a structure that was almost as narrow as the bottom and the middle, and connected to the seabed.
If it needs to be rebuilt, I'm afraid it can only be built as a tourist attraction and not a prison. I have never studied architecture, but in my opinion... "
Kou Linzai pointed at the three-dimensional image on the table: "This thing might fall down one day, so it's better not to get close to it."
"There is a working group specifically responsible for counting these data on losses. They will continuously update the real-time data and submit it to the system." An official said: "Sire, is this all you want to say today?"
The other person also showed an impatient look: "If that's all, then I have official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave..."
"Wait a minute." Kou Linzai interrupted: "I'm about to talk about the most critical question." He picked up the gourd and took a sip.
The three officials had no choice but to sit back down and see what else he could say.
Kou Linzai put down the gourd, wiped his mouth, and burped before he said in a calm tone: "Are you satisfied with the rule of the empire by the three of you?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed suddenly, and Ju Sheng interrupted: "Sir, although I am only here to listen, I feel that this question may not be appropriate."
"Haha..." Kou Linzai smirked: "Don't be afraid, I'm not inciting you to rebel. This is not a question, it's a question." He took another sip and continued: "I think you should be quite satisfied, all three of you. Driving a fancy car, wearing a fancy watch, being a famous prostitute... Hier... I won't go into details here, you know."
The faces of the three people became increasingly ugly, and nameless fires were burning in their hearts. If you want to say that they don't understand etiquette, justice and integrity, then you are looking down on them. The nobles are all highly educated, and the children of the nobles who are too dandy and domineering will probably not be able to sneak into Tiandu and become officials when they grow up. Son.
They also know the existence of corruption, but this is not their choice. They are in the system and have no way to join in. You, Kou Linzai, are noble. It is true that you have the ability. We can't learn from you, but you are in front of your face. Swearing, this is not a very particular thing to do.
"Hmph... I wonder what the lord is going to say?" Naturally, he responded with a sneer.
Kou Linzai knew that these guys were about to fall out, so he continued to act like a drunkard: "I just want to say, such a satisfying and good life may be in jeopardy."
"What does this mean? Sir, please clarify."
"Don't you understand? The attack on Hell Island was a replenishment of the strength of the resistance organizations around the world, but we have recently lost three heavenly guards, and the whereabouts of another one are unknown. It can be said that one goes down and the other goes up. In addition, Ou, With the increasingly tense war situation on the three continents of Asia and Africa, the countermeasures of 'global total war' should almost be put on the agenda, right?"
"It's just some local resistance groups making trouble, it's not here yet..."
One of them was about to speak, but was interrupted by Kou Linzai, "I'm here today because you three are not big officials, but you still occasionally dare to say one or two offensive words in court.
Let me tell you, this is an opportunity. If you don’t participate in this book, sooner or later someone will. Don’t do things that are insensitive and self-deceiving. This is an opportunity for promotion. If you don’t know how to promote, everyone will step in with half a foot. The man in the coffin is speaking in an official tone in front of me. Have you figured out who you are talking to? "When he said the last two sentences, he didn't show any hint of drunkenness. His eyes were fierce and arrogant.
Even Ju Sheng felt hairs crawling down his spine. He knew that the drunken prince was not what he seemed, but this was also the first time he saw Kou Linzai showing off his sharp edge.
"Do you understand everything?" Kou Linzai stood up.
The three officials' chairs all moved back a bit, as if they were afraid that the other party would pounce on them and slap them.
"Ming... I understand... Since it is the Lord's order..."
"No, no, please remember, you are the one who wants to participate in this book and have nothing to do with me." Kou Linzai shook his gourd, resumed his staggering gait, and left the conference room.
