Chapter 171 Attack

Innsmouth State.

In a printing workshop, the red lights are flashing and the machines are busy running.

Following "Hobbes' Terrible End", the master of horror novels Sart Kane released a new book called "The Mouth of a Madman", which will be officially released in three days.

At this moment, the workshop workers are in an unprecedented busyness. Some people operate the machines, some organize the books, stack them together, and transport them to the warehouse.

"Do you read Sutter Cain's novels?" a worker asked casually.

After the words fell, someone immediately replied: "Of course, he is the author with the most readers in this century. Is there anyone who hasn't read his books?"

Everyone echoed and gathered together to discuss with fanaticism, except for a printer wearing a peaked cap who didn't join in. He was very rational and knew a lot of inside information——

Kane's book has the unimaginable provocative power to drive fans into frenzy and madness.

Also, Hobbs.

HOB, an ancient word, means devil.

It is unimaginable what kind of desperation the fans of the book will be in once the series ends.

Because of this, ten months ago, the headquarters of the Condor Federal Branch of the Foundation used its power in the political world to prevent the publication of the last book in the "Hobbes Terminal" series.

It's a pity that the foundation still underestimated the greed of the capitalists. Even though they knew that Kane's book had all kinds of magical powers, they still chose to help him publish a new book, making it a comeback.

To make matters worse, this time, these people came aggressively and were well prepared.

Most of the top executives of the Condor Federation were either bought or bewitched, and turned their backs one after another. At the same time, they asked the states not to prevent books with edition numbers from being put on the shelves.

Its subtext is self-evident.

The young man in the peaked cap was originally a logistics worker. After losing contact with field investigators, they decided to leave the safe house and delay the disaster through violent means such as blasting and arson.

At this moment, he glanced at the supervisors who were participating in the discussion not far away, walked silently to the corner, and dug out the C4 plastic explosives from a pile of debris.

A few minutes later.

The young man in a peaked cap pushed a cart of new books and left the workshop. Instead of going to the warehouse, he took out a lighter and burned them all, then turned and rushed to the next printing factory.

the other side.

It is located in the northernmost Ice Phoenix State.

A waiter at a Burger King restaurant received two distinguished guests. They drove a Viper sports car and spent a lot of money. They ordered grilled mushroom beef burgers with abalone sauce for ten people and ordered two bottles of iced happy water.

These days, rich people like to eat fast food?

The waiter didn't understand very well, but he felt that as long as he could receive a good tip, it would be fine, and there was no need to guess.

"I'll call you if necessary."

Rorschach took out a bill with a denomination of 10 from his wallet, handed it over, and sent the other party away.

Seeing this, the waiter bowed to accept the tip, nodded with a smile, and then walked quickly to the front desk.

On the side, Lu Li swallowed the beef burger and sipped the Ice Kuo Le, with a satisfied expression on his face, "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, I will double the compensation when the funds for the activity are paid."

"What?"

Rorschach put down the hamburger in his hand and began to ask questions.

In fact, as the top rich second generation in Ice Phoenix State, he doesn't care about money, but wants to know whether this organization is worth his life.

"The organization has a rule that no information can be leaked."

"All right."

The two were relatively speechless, and began to deal with the food in their hands.

Since entering the Cloverfield Mental Hospital, Lu Li hadn't had a serious meal, and after driving for half a day, he was so hungry that his chest was on his back, and he wished he could eat a cow raw.

Therefore, as soon as he saw the Burger King signboard, Lu Li immediately stopped his sports car and decided to settle his dinner problem here.

Ding dong!

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Rorschach subconsciously reached for his pocket, only to remember that Lu Li had already pulled out the SIM card in order to prevent him from calling the police secretly, and threw it into the haystack by the side of the road. Pressed into powder.

"Probably a communication operator."

Lu Li put down the paper bag and said something casually.

After all, after leaving the lunatic asylum, he received a total of three text messages, all of which were from the operator without exception.

In an emergency, these communication companies are actually more reliable. Thinking about it carefully, it is really a kind of black humor.

[This is a text message from the CEO ORACLE. On behalf of all executives, I issue this urgent order:

All technical experts staying in the Condor Federation should immediately stay away from Innsmouth State and go to the nearest safe house to wait for transfer. a working printing house, and burned a book called "The Mouth of a Madman".

Notice!

Watching is prohibited throughout! Strictly abide by the rules of the organization! 】

The supercomputer discovered Lu Li who was dining in Kerui City, Ice Phoenix State through the mobile phone positioning system, and edited a message, conveying the highest order from the executive level.

at the same time.

In the central control room separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, all high-level people who could come to the meeting were present. They all stood up and watched Professor Lu enjoy dinner through the projection equipment.

In fact, when the supercomputer discovered that an employee had appeared in the remote and desolate Ice Phoenix State, it immediately alerted the supervisor. He ordered the technicians to hack the monitoring equipment of the Burger King restaurant.

However, the results did not meet expectations.

Lu Li was concentrating on dealing with the large portion of beef burger in his hand, drinking happy water, recharging his energy for the next fight, without even looking at his phone.

Of course, even if he received it, he would ignore it. After all, he had a once-and-for-all solution in his hands, so why waste time doing such thankless things as destroying the printing factory.

Controlling the chilling atmosphere in the room, the only thing that was playing on the screen was not suitable for the occasion, so someone couldn't help but suggested, "Why don't you give me a call?"

"hold on."

The CEO raised his hand to stop the practice, and asked instead, "Any finding out what he was doing there?"

"Explore an institution called the Cloverfield Asylum."

With that said, the data officer standing by the computer hurriedly printed out the document and handed it to the bosses.

It stands to reason that this kind of low-level task should not appear on this occasion, but there is only Lu Li in Ice Phoenix State, and besides him, the executive level is facing the embarrassing situation that there is no one to send in a short time.

Soon, the executive officer ORACLE quickly noticed the point, and while knocking on the conference table, he murmured: "Sam Neal, from Innsmouth, has connections with publishing giants..."

"In addition, send someone to Ice Phoenix State to carry out the cleaning work. Also, contact this newcomer immediately, I need to have a chat with him."
