Chapter 237 NO.00ec: Dionysus Worship

As early as when Donata deliberately brought a cocktail to the conversation room, Jim could see the girl's subtle thoughts.

She was like a child who deliberately made requests to her parents that they would not normally agree to when relatives were visiting her - essentially, she just hoped to use the power of outsiders to protest against the authority of her parents while ensuring her own safety. challenges.

This may be something that many adolescents do, but in the context of events of the current magnitude, it seems like nonsense.

Before Jim left, he tried to "empathize" with Anthony. The conclusion drawn is not too optimistic - this arms dealer is actually a very small-minded guy. Even if he leaves without doing anything, there is a high probability that he will find someone to shoot him behind his back.

Not to mention seeing his precious daughter continuing to follow him.

Therefore, Jim has no intention of helping this girl out and becoming another enlightened "father" figure in her mind - unworthy, uneconomical, and likely to cause trouble.

After Donata vented her emotions for a while, Jim took out the tissue he carried and handed it to the other party, and then suggested:

"You go find a B&B hotel to hide now. After three days, he will naturally apologize and let you go back."

Jim said this very firmly, but this was not the result of his "mind reading" Anthony.

The main reason is that after the three-day period is up, either the entire "Classic Coffee Gang" will be pulled out by the people above to take the blame; or, this matter will be solved perfectly, and his father will have the mood and energy to send his men to resolve the family dispute.

"I'm not hiding anywhere... How much does it cost to entrust you to help me investigate this case?"

Ignoring Jim's suggestion, Donata sniffed and rubbed her face and said:

"Since he has never believed in my abilities, I will prove it to him this time."

"I'm afraid I can't accept this commission."

Jim frowned and said:

"Not to mention what Dad said before, he doesn't want to involve a 'little guy' like me. You are just hiring someone to help with the investigation. You didn't even earn the money yourself. What does this prove about you? ability?"

At the same time, Chen Wan on the side continued to record:

[...Play hard to get, deliberately suppress, don't easily satisfy the other party's requirements...I learned it, Master Jim]

[Remembering this is better than remembering to carry tissues with you, as you may not know what occasion it will really come in handy]

Regarding the other party's studious and inquiring attitude, Jim said helplessly.

[Why do you need to bring tissues... Oh yes, I forgot that Ms. Hecate is now a human being and is no longer an AI program. I see, paper towels are indeed the key, you’re right]

He didn't notice the irony in his statement at all, so he took it seriously and continued recording.

Jim felt like some black lines should appear on his forehead.

"Even if I don't entrust you with this case, you will continue to investigate, right? Then if you accept the entrustment, can't you treat it as extra money from me? I can reimburse you for all your expenses during the period, and give it to you for free. assistant……

"Or are you actually not confident in investigating it?"

In response to Jim's refusal, Donata did not give up, but tried to use provocation.

"I wouldn't come here if I didn't have confidence. Miss Donata, I don't accept everyone's requests, and..."

Jim paused:

"I don't have the energy to carry another tow bottle around."

[But I have the energy to carry it...wait a minute, why did you say "again"? 】

Chen Wan said from the side.

[Don’t interrupt first]

Jim said.

[Understood, it depends on your operation]

After saying that, the other party fell silent instantly like an audience in a theater.

Not even bothering to complain, Jim continued to say to Donata:

"In your opinion, this may be just a family conflict, a joke, an opportunity to impress your father and confirm your worth. But for other people who are going through it - for me, for you Father, even for you, this is actually something that will cost you your life if you are not careful.

"In this case, you seem to be too nervous."

In Jim's opinion, this girl has been too protected by her family since she was a child, thinking that the arms business is as simple and harmless as selling milk tea. There is no basic understanding of the dangers and sins involved.

She should be in awe.

This can be seen from the fact that Donata shot at him in the corridor without hesitation - the person who can shoot so decisively is either a veteran who is used to killing; or, Just kids who know nothing about real killing.

However, Jim didn't intend to explain this truth to such a girl who couldn't choose her own origin. In a sense, the other party is also a victim of this sin, but at the moment, she doesn't understand the true price she needs to pay.

Besides, Jim didn't see any use in being reasonable. Humans are experiential animals, and only intuitive experiences can truly reveal what we have learned.

It's like just reading a long list of numbers on a concentration camp list. It's far less shocking than cleaning a crematorium with your own hands.

You are a detective, Jim. You have to run around in vain for crimes that have already been committed, and educating children has never been your business.

Seeing the disappointment in the other person's eyes, Jim continued:

"This is not a joke..."

He hesitated a little, but then said that sentence:

"When you grow up, you will naturally understand these principles."

When this fatherly voice fell, Donata's expression instantly showed a mixture of "disgust" and "disappointment".

"I originally thought that you would be different from people like my father..."

With the disappointment that could not be concealed on her face, she turned around-she didn't even want to look at herself again.

"I should have thought that there was no difference."

Jim just shrugged and said:

"Really... But I think that sometimes, the so-called growth is just a matter of a moment."

Then, he said to Donata's back:

"If there is such a day, I will never refuse your commission again."

Donata said nothing and didn't look back.

[This... seems to be a little wrong, right? ]

A line of bright red fonts was printed in the center of Jim's vision, and Chen Wang asked.

"This is the expected development, there is nothing wrong."

Jim answered directly.

Now that the clues have been obtained, the troublesome burden has been thrown away. I can finally continue my investigation.

Everything is going according to my plan.

[No... that's not what I'm talking about]

Chen Wang continued.

"Ah, is it about finding the goddess of the underworld to fall in love? Then we first need to know where she is, and the clues we have at present are... zero. To be honest, as long as she doesn't want people to find her, we will never be able to find her."

Jim poured cold water on him and planned to turn around and leave here quickly.

[No, no, no... that's not what I'm talking about. Master Jim, can you give me the control of your artificial eye? I just seemed to see something in your visual picture]

"What?"

Jim said while giving the other party temporary control of the artificial eye.

After the authority was handed over, the lens of the artificial eye was pulled to the maximum distance almost instantly, and then began to madly magnify the local details until the pixels could be almost seen.

"Wait, if you use the artificial eye like this, the visual signal processor will burn up."

Jim said hurriedly.

Generally speaking, those artificial eyes with excess performance nowadays will consider the effectiveness of the implanter's visual signal processor and set the "temperature fuse" function. After all, if something installed in the brain burns up, it is no joke.

But after Chen Wang took over Jim's artificial eye, he directly dismantled the "temperature wall" and almost fully explored the performance of the artificial eye.

This scared Jim. What should I do if my brain burns up.

[It seems to be here... Don't worry, I will calculate the overclocking time... I will switch to infrared mode first]

After that, Jim's eyes turned into the world depicted by the impressionist painters-the red and yellow symbolizing warm colors and the blue and green symbolizing cold colors, painted in his retina with thick ink.

Then, the picture that had been blurred into pixel blocks actually began to gradually outline an arc-shaped outline and became clear.

This is the largest picture that the prosthetic eye can display. This is Chen Wang in the thought box completing and repairing the picture quality by himself...

Jim thought.

Then, he saw what Chen Wang was looking for:

It was a humanoid being that was almost golden in heat and had strange and twisted movements like a spider.

At this moment, he was killing people in the crowd - several light blue appendages extended from his back, causing red warm blood mist to spurt out from the necks of pedestrians around him.

"Terrorist attack? Or cyberpsychosis?"

Jim's expression became serious and he asked hurriedly.

[Terrorist attack caused by cyberpsychosis, but why is the heating pattern of this prosthesis so familiar...]

Chen Wang replied.

"Have you seen it?"

Jim said as he pulled out the revolver named "Persuader" from the holster under his armpit.

There was only one person on the other side, and it seemed that he was adjusting the direction specialized for close combat. And this is exactly the type of opponent he is good at dealing with.

[Have you heard of the Dionysus Sect? It was a branch that split from the Paradise Sect after the Bacchus Sect was promoted to the Olympus Order]

"Not at all."

Jim shook his head and rushed to the battlefield with his gun in hand without wasting a moment.

[Yes, the Dionysus worship has been extinct for many years, and the official has been erasing the data. Since they cooperated with the Holy Trinity Church to make a big deal and were blasted into debris by Jupiter's "Thunderbolt", there are probably not many living worshippers left. ]

Chen Wang said so.

"Wait a minute, you said the Dionysus worship..."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but think of some familiar things.

[The last one with a record, I remember a guy who called himself "Dionysus Bureau" uploaded his consciousness and wanted to hide in the Abyss Dark Web, but he ran into the Styx Firewall and his life and death were unknown]
