Chapter 787: The Power of Resisting Technology

Seeing that the ferryman had no intention of chatting with him, Shi Lei felt that he had not slept well last night, so he lowered the seat back a little. Shi Lei seemed to fall asleep.

The car had license plates from two places, and the ferryman quickly took Shi Lei through the customs. Shi Lei still felt a little tired. Not long after the car started, he fell asleep again.

After the ferryman drove the car onto the highway, he kept observing Shi Lei in the rearview mirror. Seeing that Shi Lei seemed to have really fallen asleep, the ferryman's mouth seemed to move, but no sound was made.

About an hour later, the car slowly stopped at the door of a restaurant in the famous Victoria Harbor of Hong Kong Island. The doorman trotted forward and opened the door attentively.

The ferryman turned around and said, "Mr. Shi, it's time to get off the bus."

Perhaps Shi Lei really fell asleep. Seeing that he didn't respond, the ferryman had to increase the volume and shouted again, "Mr. Shi, we've arrived, it's time to get off the bus."

Shi Lei suddenly woke up and looked at the ferryman with a confused look in his eyes. He was in a state of confusion.

It took Shi Lei ten seconds to react. He laughed at himself and said, "I don't know why. I slept enough last night, but I still feel tired. Maybe I'm really too tired during this period." As he spoke, Shi Lei got off the bus.

The ferryman smiled and said to the doorman in Cantonese: "Mr. Ding has booked a private room. Please take this gentleman there."

The doorman quickly agreed, and the ferryman said to Shi Lei: "Well, Mr. Shi, I'll take my leave first."

Shi Lei seemed a little surprised and asked: "Don't you want to have lunch together?"

"My flight is at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I have to go to the airport now. You know, the airport in Hong Kong Island is always very busy."

Shi Lei nodded and said: "It's a pity. I originally wanted to have a good drink with you when I return to the hotel in the evening."

"Next time, there will be a chance."

Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "Then... have a safe journey."

The ferryman watched Shi Lei and the doorman disappear behind the door of the restaurant, but he did not start the car for a long time. Instead, he raised his head and looked at a window upstairs.

He knew that it was the private room booked by Ding Yu, and Shi Lei should have walked into the private room by now.

Shi Lei's words when he stood in the bathroom last night were correct. The ferryman did tamper with his wine, and the dosage should be just enough to make Shi Lei forget what happened five minutes after he entered the door.

It is for this reason that the ferryman must put work first after entering the door.

If everything is normal, Shi Lei should have erased the memory of the conversation of less than 30 minutes. However, the ferryman always has a sense of unease in his heart.

It is not that he doubts the drugs he uses. In fact, it is not a drug, but a nano-scale robot that can change brain waves. Shi Lei drinks the wine into his stomach. When these nano-scale robots enter the blood vessels through the stomach wall and are sent to the brain, they will start working on their own, adding a large number of interfering brain waves, sealing Shi Lei's original memory deep in his cerebral cortex, making it impossible for him to recall the content of the subsequent conversation.

This is the simplest of all the means of clearing memory, because it only needs to change the memory of the specified time period before. For example, the memory change made on Wang Kaiming that time requires a series of more complicated operations to be performed manually.

But the ferryman just felt that it was not reliable enough. Among all the members he had contacted, Shi Lei was the only one besides Mr. X that he was not completely sure of.

The memory should have been cleared, but because it was on Shi Lei, the ferryman was really worried that Shi Lei would have some means to avoid the memory being cleared.

When the ferryman was ready to negotiate with Shi Lei, he was ready to clear Shi Lei's memory. Otherwise, he would not dare to tell Shi Lei so much about the secrets of their organization so openly.

Even if everything went well and Shi Lei signed the agreement with him, the ferryman would still not allow Shi Lei to keep the memory of this conversation. Of course, if the agreement was reached, he would keep Shi Lei's memory of this part of the agreement.

However, Shi Lei performed too perfectly, so perfectly that he was impeccable. The ferryman even felt like a child facing an adult, and there was no chance to convince Shi Lei to support him.

The result of the negotiation was not satisfactory, and the words Shi Lei said before he left also made the ferryman think for a long time after returning to his room.

If he didn't know how to perform memory surgery, he would even want to go back to Shi Lei's room to make sure Shi Lei's memory was buried.

He recalled Shi Lei's words in his mind: "I thought you had already put drugs in the wine."

The ferryman started the car, and Alpha slowly drove away. The ferryman's lips moved slightly again, but still did not make any sound.

If someone who knew the ferryman well enough saw this scene, they would definitely know that this was the performance of the ferryman talking to himself.

In fact, the ferryman's thoughts at this moment were: "Prejudgment does not mean that you can resist the power of technology."

...

In the restaurant, Shi Lei followed the doorman.

After turning a corner, he knew that he had disappeared from the ferryman's sight at this moment. He even knew that the ferryman would not leave so easily, and he must still be observing something.

Shi Lei did not pause and followed the doorman upstairs until the doorman opened the door of a private room and made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you." Shi Lei said to the doorman, and then cast his eyes into the private room.

In the private room, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt sat at the table, looking a little uneasy.

Seeing Shi Lei, the man stood up quickly, and the voice that Shi Lei already had some impression of came out of his mouth.

"Hello, Mr. Shi." Ding Yu wanted to come out to greet Shi Lei, but he was tripped by a chair and almost fell.

He quickly held the edge of the table with both hands, but caused the dishes on the table to clink.

If Shi Lei had not known his identity long ago, he would definitely be deceived by this man who looked very cramped and very dull.

Shi Lei felt a little strange, but still turned back and smiled at the doorman and walked into the door.

The doorman curled his lips and closed the door, but Ding Yu did not change at all. He pushed the heavy black-framed glasses on his face, forced a smile, and said, "Nice to meet you."

Ding Yu rubbed his hands together, rubbed his palms on his pants, and then handed them to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei nodded, walked forward, and took the right hand that Ding Yu handed over.

"Hello, Mr. Ding."

"I'm sorry to meet Mr. Shi a day earlier, but that's because the ferryman is leaving Hong Kong Island today. He came earlier, and I can't help it."

Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The ferryman has explained it to me. I think we should get down to business as soon as possible. To be honest, I'm confused. The salvage work hasn't started yet. How can you let me help you with the identification work? I don't have any special abilities!"

Ding Yu poured a cup of tea for Shi Lei and said, "I will confirm the details with Mr. Shi first, and then I will explain to Mr. Shi in detail how to complete this identification work. In any case, I am very grateful to Mr. Shi for taking the time to come, and I also hope that Mr. Shi can help us with this. At least, for the sake of a colleague who really wants to leave the organization, please..." Ding Yu pursed his lips.

It can be seen that Ding Yu is very nervous.
