Chapter 491: The Old Skeleton Wearing the Crown of Wisdom

The world became blurry, everything seemed to be twisting and shaking, she could no longer hear what the people around her said. She wanted to break through these figures and leave, but she found that she was already unstable. Her mental trance almost made her lose control of her body.

Her body tilted, and she was about to fall to the ground. She stretched out her almost unconscious hands and barely supported herself on the ground. Someone seemed to be pulling her, but she could no longer distinguish them.

There seemed to be a flash on the side of her vision, and the people in front of her seemed to be running around.

Suddenly, a flash of electric knife light appeared, splashing blood, and sprinkled on her face, making her finally feel a little warm, and then someone grabbed her and ran fast. When she was getting farther and farther away from the open space of the airport, her dizzy brain was finally able to turn a little and regain some thinking ability.

At this time, with the help of the people beside her, she finally stood up slowly.

There were three people around, a man with a scar on his face, a slightly handsome boy, and a woman with short hair dyed purple and blue.

"Gern, Shan, and Soga." She called out the names of several people.

"Are you feeling better, Miss?" Soga patted Alana on the back. She was the only woman among the three, and it was she who had brought Alana out just now.

"Gern just injured a few people and frightened them. Then we took advantage of the chaos to bring you out. Later, Shan used some technical means to distract and divert the other party, and then we escaped."

Gern is an elite of Sequence 6 of the Blade Slasher, and the strongest one among the few people accompanying Alana. However, his resume is not very good, and he does not have many friends among the "Connectors". Unexpectedly, he did not betray this time and still stood on Alana's side.

Soga's situation is similar. She has been hanging out in various chaotic places such as bars since she was very young. It is said that she had engaged in some illegal activities before, but later because of something, she quit.

After checking the surroundings and finding that the other party did not catch up, Gen put away the blade he carried with him and walked towards Alana.

"It's okay for now, let's find a place to hide first."

"Can't you go back to my house? The security there should be very good." Alana said.

"It's better not to. The other party is obviously not an ordinary organization. The area near the young lady's home must be under strict surveillance. If you go back, you will be trapped." The other party denied it.

"Let me think about it. Is it feasible for me to ask for help from the company I signed with?" The only thing she could think of at this moment was the big company that she signed with.

"I don't know much about them, but if the young lady wants to contact, it's best to ensure that she will not be located because of the call." Gern is obviously experienced and seems to have really done that kind of bloody work before.

"Gern is right. Let's find a place to settle down first. The other party is obviously targeting you, the young lady. It's best not to go to the places you used to go to."

"Then where should I go?" Alana couldn't think of what to do now. After all, this was the first time she encountered such a thing and she didn't know what to do.

"Go to my place. I have an abandoned garage that I rented on the outer edge of the central 8th district. I was originally going to modify some second-hand hover motorcycles to make money. Now it's also good to hide from people." Soga suggested.

"Okay." Alana nodded, and then looked at the three people again.

"Shan, you..." She wanted to say that it would be safer to go back to school directly as Shan is a college student, but she was not sure now.

"I can take two days off and see what happens later." Shan took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you for your help." Alana felt like a burden. She was supposed to lead everyone to victory, but now she seemed to be incompetent.

She had considered various situations before, such as preparing a secret safe house, a warehouse for storing emergency vehicles and weapons and equipment, recruiting good doctors who could be dispatched at any time, etc., but these were almost useless with the betrayal of the organization.

She didn't know how many people in the organization had betrayed, and she found that she seemed to have no means to identify and counterattack. Now activating the ability of the "connector" would undoubtedly expose her position in the dark.

"If we don't activate the ability of the "connector" and suppress the kind of connection synaesthesia that we usually maintain, it won't be so easy for others to find us." Shan started to discuss.

"I was also caught by someone some time ago. After that, I looked up many anti-tracking methods and learned some common detection and search techniques."

"If the federal officials want to find us, then we have almost nowhere to escape. There are surveillance everywhere. We have to use identity chips to pay at any place."

"Fortunately, ordinary police stations do not have this authority and cannot use the entire federal network to actively search. At most, they passively input us as illegal persons, and alarms will be sounded when connecting to network payment or identity verification equipment."

"The other party is not an official organization. I can be roughly sure of this, otherwise I would have been expelled long ago. If they can't identify me as an illegal person, then our safety factor is actually still very high. After all, they dare not arrest people openly."

"But since the other party is not a small organization, it is also very likely that they can bribe a police officer from a police station to use their authority to temporarily lock our identity. This needs to be verified." Shan analyzed calmly.

"Hehe, what you are worried about is indeed possible. It seems that you have made efforts to understand a lot." Geen said with a smile.

"My past, young lady, should be familiar with it. I used to be a 'black mercenary' in the firm. They are the kind of people who don't sign contracts but are paid to do shady jobs."

"I have experienced all these methods. As for the problem of identity chips, there are actually fake ones, but they are generally time-sensitive. They can only be used in a day and a half. If it takes longer, it will conflict with the original owner and be checked against the database. Doesn’t match.”

"When doing underworld work, they will use this temporary identity chip to disguise themselves. Otherwise, if their true identity is exposed, they will never be able to live in the future."

"There are many people who betrayed me in the organization, but they have never contacted me. They probably think that people like me are not easy to fool and surrender. Besides, I don't have any family members to care about, so they don't have any good tricks."

"In this way, it seems that I am also single because I have had a falling out with my family. If they want to harm my family, I think they have to applaud." Suojia also laughed.

"They haven't contacted me either. It's probably because of last time's experience, and the other party doesn't want to try anymore." Shan Liao thought about it, feeling a bit dumbfounded.

It turns out that the reason why everyone didn't betray was not because they were loyal, but because they had no contact with each other at all, Alanna sighed in her heart.

Or, these people are really difficult to deal with, and the other organization is not a fool. The success rate is low and it is easy to be exposed, so just stop contacting them.

"Let's go and have a look at Suojia first. I'll ask my old friend if we can find a transfer method to contact the company without exposing the eldest lady's position." After Gen said, Everyone also started to take action.

…

Aijieka network, gray skeleton cemetery.

The surrounding space seemed to be in an underground tomb, with dark walls and a few torches. There was still a bit of moisture in the air, and occasionally the sound of dripping water came from a distance.

The old skeleton wearing a crown of wisdom sat on the throne, and figures shrouded in black robes appeared in the hall from time to time. They could not see each other's faces clearly, and occasionally communicated with each other silently.

At this time, a gray figure emerged from the ground.

"Sir, we currently control about 60% of the people in the 'Connector' organization. The rest are either people who are difficult to convince, or people on the fringes of the organization who are not even fluent in the secret method of using the 'Connector' ability. member."

"The soul, the skeleton, and the body. Among the three, the soul is ethereal and easy to disperse. The body decays and festers over time. Only the skeleton is so solid that it supports the entire creature." The old skeleton said the ancient necromancer's motto.

"Now we have controlled the skeleton of the 'Connector'." He nodded slightly.

"Where is Alanna now?"

"She was heading towards Central Area 8 with her companions, where one of them lives."

"Do we need to send someone to catch up?" There was a black shadow shaking below, and one of them suggested.

"No, let them go, give them some hope that they can better control Alanna."

If this action hadn't been necessary, he actually wouldn't have wanted to touch Alanna. The singer was very influential. If she had some kind of accident that attracted public opinion and the attention of the upper echelons of the federation, it would be This is a very troublesome thing. This is the Academy City in the Central Star Territory, where several singers are present. Many members of the Tribunal are stationed here. Public security is not good, and it is easy to touch the nerves of the upper echelons.

As a conservative and technical member of the 'Council of Seven Sages', Old Skeleton believes in operating in a dark and silent place, manipulating and controlling the situation, rather than being as direct and rough as the 'Red Scimitar'.

First of all, the 'Connector' organization is in a gray area. If some of Alana's remarks were made public, it could be said to be a personal complaint about politics, which is nothing, but it could be said that she used it to form a secession federation. The nature of the organization is completely different.

It must not be said that the organization founded by Alanna has many lucky elements. First of all, she is a star, and she can easily use fan meetings to cover up her daily behavior. In addition, her personal style is very loose and she has no bad intentions. This makes the 'Connector' The organization showed little aggression and did not cause any accidents. If their abilities had not been exploited by the 'Ajika Network', almost no one would have thought this was a powerful organization, and they would probably have thought it was Alanna. Fan group gatherings, night outings, gatherings, helping each other, etc. on weekdays.

As long as Alanna doesn't take the initiative to expose herself, no one will report them to the Inquisition. Even if they say it in most cases, they won't believe it, because there are countless similar cults and underground organizations across the federation, but most of them are insignificant. , it won’t cause any trouble, it’s just taking advantage of the greed and weakness of human nature to make profits, a few sequence 4 police officers can destroy it, and arrest people and send them back for education.

If you ask them to rebel against the Federation, they are not so bold and idealistic. They are just using their name to make fools' money. They say that they are the savior, that they can make believers break through and advance, and that they talk about a happy big family. It's just for profit.

If you can really easily help people advance to the next level without any harmful side effects, then that's not what you call them. Such people should be the founders of some extraordinary factions, grandmasters, and people who are respected and rewarded by the top leaders of the federation.

After the people below reported the situation, the old skeleton nodded and then talked about the next arrangements.

"Don't let Alanna lose hope quickly, don't disturb her too much, or even better, let her be at ease."

"I guess that soon the companions around her will help her make suggestions and think of various ways. It may be to seek help from a certain party, it may be to talk to people in the original organization, or it may be to investigate the truth."

"But these are not important. As long as she still has hope, she will not report it to the Inquisition, because then her own life will be completely ruined, and the people around her will not have an easy time."

"Tug her slowly, give her some hope of success from time to time, and let time pass by slowly."

"In a year or two, when we fully understand the technical principles of the 'Connector' research, it won't matter whether this organization exists or not, because we can create a new same organization elsewhere at any time."

"The traces will be dealt with by then and the relationship will be cleared. Even if Alanna exposes herself to the Inquisition and the surrendered organization in front of us is abolished, it will not affect us."

"Of course, a better way is that after one or two years of tug-of-war, Alanna is exhausted physically and mentally. If we be more gentle at this time and negotiate some conditions, she may not be unable to be used by us."

"Yes, sir."

Soon after, the people in the tomb dispersed and became empty and quiet. The old skeleton was still sitting on the throne and did not move. At this time, a silver-green mechanical doll slowly appeared beside him.

"Do you understand?" the old skeleton said. He was teaching the 'Yinqing Work' on the side.

"I understand roughly, but why teach me." The mechanical doll on the side turned the gears on its body and made a synthesized sound.

"Do you still remember that time you mentioned that you had not yet entered Spirit Son Sequence 6? This made me quickly guess your identity."

"Remember."

"You are too young. Although you are gradually catching up with us in terms of technology, you are still far behind in terms of mind and planning."

"A stupid person with strong technology and strength will be more destructive than a smart villain. At least the latter will not do anything that harms others but does not benefit himself."

"With your current technical strength and your current mind, I think it is a dangerous thing, so I want to teach you something."

"You are very similar to 'Hui Fangyan', but he is more pure than you. He is a person who is so skilled that he doesn't need much resourcefulness."

"The original intention of the establishment of the organization is very simple. It is enough to maintain the stability and sustainability of the Ajieka network. But to maintain this stability, you must have power, and having power will inevitably attract many people to snoop on interests."

"So the organization later had to recruit characters like 'Red Scimitar' and 'Blue Bird Mask' to stabilize the forces of all parties."

"The 'Connector' used the Alekkar network to connect them. Once this power is revealed, it is conceivable that the federation will strengthen its control over Alekkar and will no longer even allow uncontrolled network sharing. ”

"It's very uncertain and unstable, so we either snuff it out or get it under control."

"There are many means to achieve the goal, especially when we have a large amount of information, there will be more means to choose from. How to deal with the problem patiently and meticulously, and let it disappear quietly, is a very profound knowledge. "

"'Hui Fangyan' has probably fallen into a long hibernation. He will not wake up for a long time. Currently, among the seven people in the organization, the technical ones and the conservatives who uphold the original intention are just you and me."

"I am also very old. I probably no longer like to accept new things as my thinking has become rigid, but you are still very young and have far more potential than me."

"I hope that you will grow up and gradually take over my position. In addition, I also hope that the big ship 'Council of Seven Sages' will still be in the hands of our technical faction, instead of becoming a tool for others. Those who only know how to fight and kill." , and guys who are full of politics are really not suitable for this pure field.”

"Seniors 'Muppet Bear' and 'Long-Handed Monkey' are not technical people, aren't they?" the puppet asked.

"Oh, you came late, so it's normal that you don't know."

"Yes, they do have strong technical abilities, but they are all impure. The 'Muppet Bear' is bewildered by the aura of power, and the 'Long-Handed Monkey' is calculating but has no ethics. You can't change them."

"They can't take the helm. When these two people come to power, they are not even as good as 'Blue Bird Mask' and 'Red Scimitar'. At least the other party is really powerful and capable." When talking about Blue Bird Mask, Old Skull said The sound signal fluctuated slightly, causing 'Yin Qingzhizuo' on the side to make some guesses.

"That's it for today. As the deputy, you will continue to observe and study. There are still several years left in college, and you are not suitable for directly commanding certain things at the moment."

"Um."

Then the light and shadow in the hall dimmed, and the silhouettes of the two people slowly disappeared.
