From a higher level perspective, although the matter of the 'Evolution Forum' is important, it is definitely not the priority. If there are more important things to do, the General Administration can only deal with the more important things first.
But secondary things cannot be ignored either.
In the eyes of the Special Security Bureau in Migratory Bird City, the matter of the 'Evolution Forum' is the top priority.
Although Zhao Xin is dead, the investigation against him has never stopped.
His social relationships, people he had contacted before, call records, spending records, travel routes, these are all entry points. For these things, Team Leader Liu did not sleep for two nights.
The expert group is understaffed, and the investigation and action teams under the Security Bureau are also understaffed.
When Lin Mo saw Team Leader Liu, he was eating instant noodles.
Not only him, but everyone in the investigation and action team basically had no time to eat. Sometimes they only had time for one meal a day.
"My superiors have already told me that we must follow up and investigate the offline gathering of Evolution Forum members. We must not let our guard down. The General Administration takes this matter very seriously. The power of investigation has been completely assigned to me. In addition, you are the second person in charge, and the authorization order has been issued."
Team leader Liu talked to Lin Mo while eating.
Lin Mo didn't expect that he would be entrusted with such an important task.
It seems that there is a real shortage of manpower.
Lin Mo told the details of the offline gathering two days later, and Team Leader Liu put down his chopsticks.
"So, we have to go to the appointment first and confirm that the target person has arrived before we can take action. That requires a woman to come forward."
After thinking about it, Team Leader Liu told Lin Mo that there were several female members in the action team, and they would be called over later for Lin Mo to choose.
Let whichever one you like go up.
"They are all professionally trained, and their ideological awareness, skills and psychological quality are impeccable. You can choose any one of them." Team leader Liu looked confident.
Lin Mo thought about it and thought that it would be quite exciting to have several heroic female team members standing in front of him so that he could choose from them.
But he still shook his head: "We have to be absolutely sure. In my opinion, ordinary women can't do that. The members of the Evolution Forum may know more about the nightmare world than we can imagine. I suspect they have the means to identify whether a person has the nightmare mark."
Team leader Liu rubbed his face and said, "Then there's no one here."
He understood what Lin Mo meant.
He has many outstanding female special forces members.
But those with nightmare marks are at least rear-end experts, and currently only the General Administration has them, so he can't do anything about it.
Lin Mo called the cat in.
"We don't need to ask anyone for anything. She is a new candidate expert, just approved by the General Administration. She is in the open, and we are in the dark. This time, we will definitely catch those people in one fell swoop."
Cat, come in and sit down.
Just now, Lin Mo had told her about the matter.
The cat has no objection.
Even, there is a little bit of excitement.
After all, coming into contact with those criminals, such heroic and thrilling things, have only appeared in movies and novels in the past.
Seeing that Lin Mo was serious, Team Leader Liu thought for a moment and nodded: "I agree with this. At that time, there will be at least two action teams ambushing around. Let's plan it again. There shouldn't be any accidents. We can't intervene in the things in the dream, but our action team can still control the things in reality."
It's settled.
There were still two days left, and Team Leader Liu arranged for Maomao and Lin Mo to participate in emergency special training.
Fighting, equipment use, shooting, first aid.
These have all been arranged.
There were instructors conducting one-on-one training. Both Lin Mo and Maomao were very excited when they touched a gun for the first time. However, after firing thousands of rounds a day, they began to lose their excitement.
Of course, improvement is certain.
After dark, we had dinner and continued practicing in the evening.
Team leader Liu was also busy.
We have already sent people to Qiandu Commercial Plaza in Xicheng District of Houniao City to conduct a survey.
Especially the "Cat Shit Cafe" on the second floor is the focus. Of course, all this is done in secret, without alerting the enemy.
Late at night, Lin Mo, who had entered the nightmare world, opened the underworld laptop and logged into the forum.
There are new internal messages.
Lin Mo clicked it and saw that it was a confirmation notification for completing the novice mission.
"Member 'Banzhuan I miss you', moderator 'Ghost' has reviewed and approved your pollution report post, and you have also completed the sacrifice ceremony. Congratulations, you have officially joined the big family of Global Evolution."
Just looking at these words, you can't tell that this is a perverted concentration camp.
It is a good thing to pass the novice mission, so that the curse in the ghost ring will not be triggered.
Lin Mo thought of Police Officer Jiang Ming.
Last time at Sanqiao Police Station, in order to help him out of trouble, Lin Mo asked Jiang Ming to register as a member as well. The other party also needed to complete a task, but Lin Mo had already thought about this matter and just used the same trick again.
Besides, there are still more than twenty days left.
Lin Mo glanced at the online list. The Ripper was not online, and the Scarecrow was not online either. Besides himself, there was only one member named 'Ghost Eyes'.
I browsed the posts first and found very few new posts. From this, it can be seen that this forum does not have many members.
What’s annoying is that some posts require reading permissions, and Lin Mo, whose ID has just passed the membership verification, can’t click on them at all.
Lin Mo has basically read all other posts that can be read.
Nothing new, logging out.
Just at this moment, there was another notification via text message on the site.
Lin Mo was stunned.
There are only two people in the forum now, besides myself and that 'Ghost Eyes'.
Could it be that it was sent by the other party
He moved the mouse and clicked over. Sure enough, a message from the station marked as "Ghost Eye" appeared in front of Lin Mo, and the content was a question.
"New member?"
Lin Mo responded immediately.
"Want to make a deal?" The other party responded quickly.
"What deal?" Lin Mo also became interested.
"How do you use the power of nightmares?" The other party asked directly, and his personality should be the kind of person who is straightforward and does not beat around the bush.
Lin Mo's mind was quick, and he immediately typed a line of words and sent it over.
"What do you want in exchange?"
Since it is a transaction, it must be a give and take.
"Of course it is another way to utilize the power of nightmares. I can guarantee that you don't know the method I provide." Ghost Eyes was very confident.
"Verbal assurances are not binding."
"Don't you know that the Ghost Ring has the ability to bind oaths?" Ghost Eyes' tone was full of surprise.
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.
However, his mental strength was still remarkable. He immediately tapped the keyboard: "Are you sure you want to use the ghost ring?"
When you encounter a question you don't understand, or when someone doubts you, don't hesitate or show your weakness; instead, ask directly back and take the initiative. This is the most commonly used tactic in the art of negotiation.
Sure enough, the other party was led astray.
"Do you mean you don't trust the Ghost Ring? Indeed, the Ghost Ring is too mysterious, and I am also afraid of it, but it does have a strong binding force." The reply from the Ghost Eye let Lin Mo know another ability of the Ghost Ring.
In order to get things clear, Lin Mo decided to go along with what the other party said.
"Okay, then let's do as you say."
Soon, the other party sent a new message within the site.
A large part of the content seems to be interfered with by some invisible force. The words are distorted, blurry and twisted, and the content is completely unclear. The only thing that can be seen clearly is the oath at the end.
"I swear to the Ghost Ring that I will abide by the rules of this transaction, never cheat, and be honest. If I break my oath, I will be killed immediately."
It's just a simple oath.
Lin Mo fell silent at this time. These vows were nothing in the real world and no one would take them seriously, especially for those who worked in business. It was common to make a vow and then break it.
But in the nightmare world, the situation may be completely different.
You can't swear randomly in this place.
The other party was swearing on the Ghost Ring. Combined with the previous conversation, another function of the Ghost Ring was already obvious.
