Chapter 98 The Enlightenment's Stronghold (Part 1)
Faced with nearly ravaging use, the motorcycle finally couldn't hold on anymore and leaned against the wall of the alley. A large amount of steam erupted with a "pop" sound, and the engine hood It shuddered and spewed smoke outward.
Escape is not as difficult as imagined.
After abandoning the need to "defend the shuttle", Flashing Star was completely freed to tamper with cameras and positioning occlusions along the way. Harold's driving skills were better than expected. In the retreat route planned by Flashing Star It drove wildly along the way and crashed into a deep moss area.
In a sense, the "value" of the other members of the First Action Group combined is not as high as that of Flashing Star alone.
Because the quick success of pure force is much simpler than cultivating an excellent network hacker - even if both are consumables for the company, the latter is also a far more precious consumable than the former.
What's more, as the second ring [Balance], Flashing Star is a "psionic hacker".
As long as she is not in a head-on confrontation with the company's huge computing power and network security experts, she can take the initiative.
"Nandou, your injury."
Harold got out of the car and looked at Song Shi, who was spraying a bottle of wound healing spray on his body.
"It's nothing serious."
This bottle of wound spray is patented by Jade Pharmaceuticals. The sprayed liquid will quickly condense into a sticky film on the wound to prevent secondary contamination and expansion of the wound. At the same time, the medicinal ingredients of the film will quickly penetrate into the wound to sterilize, stop bleeding, and accelerate healing.
"That guy wants to force me back and adjust the distance again, so it's really troublesome to gather most of the thunder plasma and detonate it. It's impossible for me to be completely fine." Song Shi took out a few more He took a pill and stuffed it into his mouth: "But most of them are traumas, not serious problems, just rest for a few days."
Harold obviously didn't believe it.
It wasn't until he carefully observed Song Shi for a while and found that except for a few scars on his body, his overall mental state was even better than before, that he finally looked away and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nandou."
Harold pondered for a moment, as if he was considering his words, but then he made a decision and spoke directly.
"Are you interested in staying with us for a few days?"
"In the future, the Security Bureau and Jade Pharmaceutical will definitely go crazy and want to find us, even in the Deep Moss Area. It may not be safe, after all, Flash Star cannot provide 24/7 network support. Since you are in danger by doing things with us, Enlightenment is responsible for the consequences."
Harold paused and said calmly: "Of course, from the perspective of 'cooperation', we don't want to see anything happen to an excellent collaborator. You should have seen the news. We suffered a serious blow a year ago, and now we need to fight for every strength .”
What's more, he is a precious combat power who can kill a senior executive commissioner head-on and is biased towards one's own side...
He thought.
Say it, the man looked at Song Shi seriously, waiting for the latter's decision.
"Responsible for the follow-up?"
Song Shi inserted the trauma spray into his bag, shook his head and laughed: "We charge money to do things, as long as the remuneration is reasonable, what obligation does the employer have to give extra money to the bounty hunter? Aftermath? ”
"But staying for a few days sounds good. I'll just go and get the 'Ember'." Song Shi moved his body, nodded and chuckled: "I really want to see the 'Pearl Bird'."
"Believe me, you will definitely fall in love with the boss, I promise."
Hearing this, Harold also laughed: "You only met him in the 'Thousand Stars City', right? Ha! , you can never imagine what he looks like in person.”
“Oh?”
“Let’s wait until you see him yourself.”
Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and put them down immediately: "Before I go there, I have to go home to get something. Don't worry, it won't be too long. Let's go together?"
Harold nodded.
The two of them changed their outfits in the alley, and with their hoods covered, they naturally blended into the flow of people on the street. It was completely impossible to tell that it was these two people who had caused a shocking incident in Paloser not long ago. of "trial".
Along the way, Harold hesitated, as if he was going through a complicated psychological struggle, but after a while, he finally couldn't help but speak.
“Nandou, don’t you want to say a few words to me too?”
"Huh?" Song Shi tilted his head, a little confused.
"I heard clearly in the headphones just now what you said to Xu Tong."
Harold pointed to his hands, feet, chest, Head, said seriously: "My degree of prosthetic transformation is much higher than that of Xu Tong. Don't you also think that I, um, let me think about it, don't have enough 'purity'?"
Song Shi was silent for a moment, Then he asked: "Don't you fight with no concern at all?"
"...Huh?" Harold was also stunned: "What you just said are not true?"
"That's not the case"
Song Shi walked as he walked , while casually saying: "If we talk about it from the perspective of 'force' alone, Xu Tong's approach is at least quite good in the second ring. Otherwise, he would not be a senior executive specialist, relying on the equipment saved by the company. , prosthetic body and psychic skills, they cannot be said to be weak, at least they are above the standard line."
"If we insist on dividing them, it is not too weak in the middle of the second ring, or in the third ring. Level unit.”
“So that’s it”
"However, this does not mean that there is something wrong with what I said about the path of [Dayuan]."
"I am right, he is wrong, and he wants to correct it when he sees something wrong. This It's human instinct." Song Shi said lightly: "It's rare to see a great source again, so I just said more at that time."
"But you know this kind of thing."
Song Shi spread his hands: "No one will change because of someone else's words. But it is a personal habit. If you meet me, I will still be willing to say a few words."
At this moment.
Even though he understood what the other party meant, Harold still couldn't suppress an idea in his mind.
Are you some kind of "Dayuan" policeman?
But then, Harold quickly shook off this inexplicable thought, coughed lightly, and his expression returned to normal.
In the following time, Song Shi returned to the rental house, quickly cleaned up, destroyed personal information, and left again.

“——So, you are actually staying here.”
The humid air is filled with a disgusting smell.
The pipes and supports built have already fallen into deep corrosion, leaving only the general shape and mottled rust marks. From the hard-to-see cracks in the corners of the wall, unknown moss poked out little by little, revealing a wet corner.
"It's no wonder that Emerald Pharmaceuticals has never really found the Enlightenment's stronghold in the sewer."
"Actually, there have been some speculations."
Harold jumped down from the ladder and walked in front of him on a familiar road.
“But Palother’s sewer system was built during the Seven Earth Wars. The original design data has been lost, and it has been continuously expanded and modified over the years. Even the government does not know the full picture.”
"As for using reconnaissance robots to explore the entire Palower sewer network, there is a Flash Star here, so it doesn't make much sense - unless these reconnaissance robots all use 'wetware' operation, but the cost is too high," Jade Pharmaceuticals said This plan was later abandoned.”
"Ah, speaking of which, I thought you would be more unwell."
"How should I say?" Song Shi raised his head.
“Compared to a place like this.”
Harold pointed around. Amidst the splashing sound, the color of sewage that was difficult to see was surging along the drainage channel: "Deep moss The well-known bad neighborhoods in the district are considered clean. It’s your first time to come to a place like this, even if it doesn’t matter, why should you frown? But you don’t have any reaction?”
Song Shiyan was concise and to the point. : "Basic qualities of a qualified bounty hunter."
Why haven't I heard of it? The standard for entry into the "bounty hunter" industry has become so high now
Harold choked, resisted his intention to speak, and continued to lead the way.
An hour later, he stopped for the first time.
"Welcome to...'Complicit'."
