Chapter 727 The Former ‘Blue Peacock Mask’
Night falls, and the traffic continues.
If you have to work during the day to survive, then you can only be yourself at night. This is a common problem for modern urbanites.
In the quiet floating car, the lights are off, and only the colorful advertising license plates passing by outside enter the car, reflecting the tired and closed face, colorful and changing.
The personal terminal in the hand lights up a small floating projection, and a line of small words moves slowly, showing the song name and other information.
The hazy music like bubble soda sounds in the headphones. This music, which is neither exciting nor dull, is like a massage with just the right strength, relieving the pressure of the listener, allowing him to slowly get out of the highly tense working state of the day and enter a relatively soft and relaxing environment.
The lyrics of Green Lemon, like the rhythm of the fingertips, make people gradually enter that distant and virtual world, as if sinking into the seabed where the water light sways, completely isolated from the outside troubles.
…
The neon lights outside the car window were still on, and the figure inside the car had already leaned back in the chair and fell asleep. The personal terminal in his hand gradually slipped, revealing the name of the singer of the song.
[‘Green Jasmine’ Xiang Keer]
…
After Tilan graduated and left the Central Star Region, Brilliant Star Alana also started her life again. She received a lot of help, and her friends around her gradually returned. The past time of publicity seemed to be forgotten, until one day, a well-dressed man came to him.
“I was entrusted by the singer Miss ‘Green Jasmine’ Xiang Keer to discuss some cooperation matters with Miss Alana.”
Alana was quite surprised by this sudden visitor, but she was no longer the young and impulsive girl in the past. After getting to know singers such as Heshia and Elukelu, she gradually understood the special identity and powerful power of such people.
“What do you want to talk to me about?” She had a vague guess.
“Do you still remember the past of the ‘Z’ group?” The other party mentioned a name that Alana missed a little.
"That..." Alanna hesitated for a moment. After all, she no longer organized any special groups.
"I know you have doubts and vigilance, but I am here on behalf of Lady Xiang Ke'er, the 'Green Jasmine'. I am not here to accuse or threaten you, but I am here with great goodwill and hope to cooperate with you."
"But..." Alanna knew that what happened back then had entered the field of vision of the Tribunal. If it were not for the guarantee of the two singers, she would have been imprisoned long ago.
"Regarding the ban of the Tribunal, we have applied for the lifting of it for you. Please take a look." As he said this, the man showed an electronic notice with a key imprint exclusive to the Tribunal below, which could be verified online.
At this time, Lady Eluklu was far away in the northern star region, and Heshia had not replied to her messages online for a long time. It was said that she was in seclusion. In this case, she really had no better reason to refuse.
"I understand." Alanna knew that she could not escape, and I am afraid that the friends around her were also unable to escape.
Sure enough, not long after, those people gathered again, and even a few unfamiliar faces appeared. After that, 'Qing Moli' Xiang Ke'er warmly received her. Just as the man said, Xiang Ke'er was very friendly and enthusiastic to her, and did not deliberately make things difficult for her, nor did she overly inquire into her privacy. Perhaps for those big men, everything about her was no longer a secret, and there was really no need to do these little tricks.
In the years that followed, Xiang Ke'er contacted many extraordinary factions and large enterprises in succession. With the efforts of a group of masters and research technicians, the previously immature 'connector' technology was quickly improved, and with the help of newly developed instruments, people without 'connector' qualifications can also gain similar abilities.
With the blessing of this technology and product, 'Qing Moli' Xiang Ke'er stood out among the singers in the Central Star Region, defeated many predecessors and juniors in succession, and entered the top five in popularity. Currently, she is in the first echelon after 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin.
.
"Have you ever used the instrument recommended by Xiang Keer? It is said to be similar to the Aijieka immersion cabin, but a simplified version. It can only sense some partners with the same frequency, and can also make friends through it. It is very magical." Occasionally, people on the Internet discuss this new product.
"I have used it. It is really an extremely fresh and different experience. This may be the way people communicate in the future. It is simply revolutionary."
"It is a completely different new technology, but it has just been released and not many people know about it."
"Is it really as powerful as it is said?"
"It can't be another advertisement."
"With the official endorsement of the song girl, it shouldn't be."
Some people are skeptical, but some rich people or those who like new things on the Internet have already started to buy and experience it.
.
In the Aijieka network space, a square blue box floats in the unknown void. Its shape keeps shrinking and changing, and then becomes a cube again.
Inside, there are seven seats at the black round table, but now only six of the seven seats are occupied.
The grayish-white square rock is simple and unadorned, just like the muddy stone on the roadside. At this moment, this large square rock is sitting in the middle seat, and a human face is vaguely emerging on it.
"It's been a long time since I saw you all." His heavy virtual image turned in this special space, his eyes swept across, and finally stopped at the vacant seat.
"I have to tell you a very unfortunate news. 'Blue Peacock Mask' has left us forever. I will look for a new candidate to replace her vacant position."
Although there were some slight changes in expressions and movements at this moment, the other five people present did not speak.
The 'Old Skeleton' holding a bone staff sat in front of the table, motionless as if in trance. The 'Long-Handed Monkey', who used to be impetuous and jumpy, was now a little decadent, stroking the armrest with his fingers in boredom.
On the other side, the original purple plaid 'teddy bear' has now been replaced by a tan 'teddy bear', and the previously ferocious 'red scimitar' has now become a serious-looking 'silver cross sword'. Only The silver mechanical doll sitting at the end was still turning its gears quietly, with light blue metal reflection flowing on its surface.
"In these years, the 'Council of Seven Sages' has been led by 'Blue Peacock Mask'. She has done a lot of things on my behalf, and she has sacrificed a lot. In fact, we are friends who have known each other for a long time." Although it is just a virtual image, but Hui Fangyan also showed a bit of nostalgia and sadness, probably because he and the other party did have a long-term emotional connection.
"However, the deceased has passed away, and we still have to move forward. I believe everyone is aware that today's Federation is at a crossroads of rapid changes. The stagnant situation in the past is rapidly evolving and changing, and our organization is also facing important choices. ”
"Here, I must mention the original intention of the establishment of the 'Council of Seven Sages', which is to rely on 'technology' to change the ecology of the entire civilization and strive for a pure space for those idealists."
“We will continue to pursue ‘advanced’ technology and use this ‘advance’ to arm ourselves and guide the entire society towards the ideal goal.”
After saying this, he paused, as if he was recalling something or preparing something.
"I have gone through many things for this goal. Over the years, I will also encounter countless ups and downs, such as the departure of friends, separation, and even betrayal, etc."
"I used to be sad about these things for a long time, and I was also very decadent. Fortunately, I finally came out and realized my old ideals again, and established this organization with a group of like-minded people."
"I am convinced that this is the ideal that everyone and I share, a goal worth spending a lifetime to achieve. Even if I pass away one day, I hope that one of you will inherit these ideas and continue on."
"Now, since I have finished explaining the goals, let's start talking about the goals that I and everyone have compiled and negotiated."
"First of all, our organization will no longer be as loose as in the past, because this is a dangerous era, an era of ever-changing opportunities, and the relaxed attitude of the past cannot continue."
"Various strict frameworks will be gradually established in the future, the rules and authority divisions will become increasingly clear, and implementation efficiency will gradually improve."
"Secondly, our tentacles will no longer be limited to the Internet and the indirect interference control in the past, but will establish bases, research institutes, and defense forces that completely belong to us and exist in reality. Of course, these organizational structures will be separated to a certain extent. The existence of the organization will not be easily exposed.”
"Then, we will establish a new talent recruitment and cultivation system. In this era of rapid change, relying on mercenaries and casual geek companions can no longer meet the ever-expanding needs."
"Finally, we will make the most of the organization's intelligence and resources, expand rapidly, acquire a large number of personnel assets, and expand our reach both online and offline, instead of focusing on shrinking concealment as the main goal in the past."
"These decisions are very different from the past. It may be difficult for everyone to accept it for a while, but I want to tell you that continuing the past strategies will only make us gradually abandoned by the times. The current situation in the Federation requires us to adapt to the times. Be strong quickly.”
"The main goals have been described. Now I will assign tasks. First, adjust the organizational framework to make it strict and clear in authority. This task will be handed over to the 'Old Skeleton'."
The sound of rattling bones sounded, and the 'Old Skeleton' broke away from the still state, lowered his head and raised his hands towards the gray square rock in response.
"Secondly, I leave it to the Silver Cross Sword to build the actual base and defense force. You are a person worth entrusting to me."
"I understand." A calm male voice sounded from the silver sword blade inserted into the seat.
"Then, the recruitment and training of new people will become a problem for 'Yinqingzhizuo'." Hui Fangyan looked at the precision mechanical doll beside him.
"Yes." The mechanically synthesized female voice replied, and a light blue light also flowed in the eye sockets of the mechanical doll.

“In the end, the rapid expansion of peripheral organizations and funding problems are left to the two ‘Teddy Bears’ and ‘Long-Handed Monkeys’.”
"Leave it to me, don't worry." The 'Teddy Bear' held a cigar in the corner of his mouth, emitting a light smoke.
"It's still the same old tasks, okay, I'll just do it. Gray old man, you're still so boring." The 'Long-Handed Monkey' touched his neck and replied complainingly.
Seeing that everyone present was fine, Hui Fangyan's flat face revealed a kind smile.
"I've said all I have to say. Let's work hard together from now on."
Afterwards, in this secret space, the silhouettes of each figure disappeared and left, leaving only Gray Fang Yan alone in this quiet space.
After everyone left, he did not rush to log off or leave, but continued to sit in that position, looking at the table, his eyes seemed to be stagnant.
…
I don't know how much time passed before he woke up again. He raised his eyes and looked at the empty space next to him.
"You're leaving too, Idria..." Perhaps only he knew that the relationship between the two was complicated, entangled and heavy.
When he was young, the beautiful elf on the TV screen, singing in a blue star gauze dress, was the object of his dream.
I still remember that the first time they met was in an alley in a city.
He walked through the passage under the street in a panic, avoiding the mercenaries from the agency who were chasing him that day. There were many stains and scratches on his body, and his hair was messy and embarrassed.
After finding a rented house that was temporarily unoccupied, he used the hacking program he made to quickly open the door, took a shower in, removed the smell on his body, and then changed into a set of old clothes of the original owner of the rented house, and then threw the discarded clothes into the trash can and left quickly.
As long as he walked out of this alley, he could find a suitable means of transportation and then quickly transfer. After that, he must take the express train in the city and enter the safe and prosperous area, where the mercenaries in the gray area dare not mess around, so he has time to breathe and find a way to get rid of it.
While jogging, he quickly thought about the problems he was facing now.
Since the gradual establishment of the Aijieka network, the organization he and his companions had formed had faced an unprecedented crisis. Familiar IDs gradually turned gray and dimmed forever, and he was not immune. Because of the huge interests involved, he was hunted down by some professional firm members.
Just as he watched the alley getting closer and closer, and the crowded streets outside, two men in black suddenly walked out from the corner and put their hands on his shoulders. The force in their knuckles made his bones ache, and he was frightened and nervous.
He just opened his mouth and before he could shout, he was covered by a special black glove. This special glove has a mute function, and the sound that was about to shout immediately became extremely mute, and even he couldn't hear it clearly.
Then a slap hit him on the back of his head, making his brain dizzy instantly, and he almost fell to his knees and fainted. Fortunately, he had been entrenched in the Aijieka network for a long time, and his mental toughness was far beyond that of ordinary people, so he didn't fall down immediately.
However, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. The two hands held him like iron clamps, and then a dose of cold medicine was injected from his neck. He suddenly lost consciousness and his vision gradually fell.
It was only less than ten meters away.
His head fell to the ground with his body. He looked at the exit not far away with the only vision in the corner of his eyes. Sad remorse, regret and unwillingness spread like cold stones, making his heart sink into darkness step by step.
At that time, it was a scene he would never forget in his life. Just when he thought everything was over and he would become a certain ID that disappeared on the Internet like his former companions, the toes wearing black leather shoes appeared in front of him.
The sound of knocking against the floor was so beautiful and light, and the slender legs were so beautiful.
After that, his eyes were completely dark, and it was several hours later when he woke up again.
He still leaned against the exit of the road, but no one was forcing him to stay. Only a blonde and slender elf girl stood in front of him. She wore a large white summer hat, as if she had just returned from vacation.
"La la la, Mr. Cube is awake." The other party joked in a nightingale-like voice, then waved his hand, and two tall followers came out from nowhere and helped him stand up.
"It's not polite to keep looking down at a girl's legs. You should introduce yourself. I've been looking for you for a long time." The other party put his hands slightly behind his back and looked at the young man with wounds on his face and was in a mess.
"I, my name is..." He reluctantly said his real name, and that name has never been used since then. Perhaps only the other party still calls him by this name.
"What about you, thank you for saving me, can you tell me your name?" The young man asked restrainedly, not daring to look at the elf girl in front of him who was like a beautiful blue peacock.
"As for me, I can't tell you my real name yet, but if you insist, call me Blue Peacock Mask."
"The mask of chivalry, the legendary chivalrous man, isn't it handsome." The other party was lively, gesturing with his hands and turning around in a circle.
"Okay, Blue Peacock Mask."
He murmured the name until time flew by and a hundred years passed in a hurry.
