Spy Family

(Thanks to the leader: Submarine Street.)

"Rumors stop at wise men. This is an ideal state. The reality is that rumors stop at more rumors, and even the truth stops at more rumors." The third uncle gently shook the two fingers, not knowing which one represented the ideal. , which root represents reality, "Spies need to refine information, and at the same time they also need to disrupt information. What we will face will be a big garbage dump. While throwing a hundred or a thousand pieces of invalid information into it, we are eager to find it from it. To find gold that has been accidentally abandoned by others. This is a job that can easily lead to breakdown. You must be prepared, be patient, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of getting dirty, and have a cold heart.”

Lu Linbei just came out of the "big garbage dump". He prefers to call it a "waste sea". There are too many unfounded guesses and too many deliberate falsifications. Valid information is often drowned randomly. It is not easy to salvage it, but it may not really be there. usefulness.

The sudden knock on the door startled Lu Yezhou, and also brought Lu Linbei back to reality from the edge of the "waste sea".

The two immediately took their positions, guarding both sides of the door frame just like last night. Lu Yezhou had already picked up the knife and nodded to Lu Linbei.

"Who?" Lu Linbei asked.

The knock on the door rang twice more before someone replied: "Crooked man."

It was Qian Zhong's voice, but the two people in the room did not relax their vigilance. Lu Linbei asked again: "Are you alone?"

"yes."

Lu Linbei gently unlocked the door and opened the door a crack. After confirming that there was indeed only Mei Qianzhong outside, he opened it a little further and let the guests in.

Lu Yezhou kept holding the knife and stood against the wall. He still maintained this posture even after the door was closed.

Mei Qianzhong looked around, then turned to look at Lu Yezhou who was holding a knife. He didn't show any surprise or anger, "Well, I already know. That's why I came here."

When he said this, Lu Yezhou's momentum dropped, he lowered his hand and threw the knife on the chair, "I'm worried that someone is following you."

Mei Qianzhong smiled, "It's possible, but don't worry, everyone who follows me is making huge mistakes."

"I believe it." Lu Yezhou also smiled and looked at Lu Linbei, "We stayed up all night, looking for clues. Lao Bei has some clues."

"Sit down." Mei Qianzhong said casually, not interested in "eyebrows". He pulled the chair to the middle of the living room, sat down facing the sofa, and put the kitchen knife on the floor at his feet.

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou sat on opposite sides of the sofa, each with their own thoughts.

"Let me tell you first, I owe you an explanation." Mei Qianzhong's attitude was particularly gentle today, just like a teacher facing a student who has average grades but works hard.

"You are placed here to lure the snake out of its hole. Last night, it finally showed its face."

"Which snake to lure?" Lu Yezhou asked.

Mei Qianzhong glanced at him, and Lu Yezhou immediately shut up.

"The assassin has been targeted, and we are going to use him to catch a big fish." Mei Qianzhong put his hands on his legs and smiled again, "I can only tell you this at the moment. You are doing a good job, just hold on for a few more days. , you are very lucky to be able to make achievements in your first mission, which is an opportunity that many investigators have not been able to get for many years."

"Lucky?" Lu Yezhou has always admired Mei Qianzhong, but when it comes to his own life, he has to say a few words, "Last night, I almost died on the street. If it weren't for Lao Bei... It was really only a little short of a bullet. It's not staying in the wall, but on me. I don't mean anything else, at least give us a little warning first."

"As a newcomer, the less you know, the better. If I give you a warning, will you still go out shopping calmly?"

Lu Yezhou's face turned red. He struggled internally for a moment and decided to give in. "You're right."

The person who asked the question was Lu Yezhou, but Mei Qianzhong looked at the silent Lu Linbei, "I treat you like this, and there are people above who treat me like this, and you will also treat others like this in the future."

"Well, this is a rule. Ye Zi and I both understand it." Lu Linbei admitted that the other party was right. In the training class, the teacher also taught this.

"This is why the Mei family cultivates its own spies. It is difficult for outsiders to understand this. To them, you can only deceive them and at the same time be on guard. And we, we are family members and brothers." Mei Qianzhong even looked at Lu Yezhou At one glance, "We are destined to become core members of the organization, recruiting and managing peripheral spies together. They will always be outsiders."

Lu Linbei hummed, and Lu Yezhou laughed twice, "I have followed you two since I was a child, and I will continue to do so from now on, especially the old man. You have always been our leader and will always be."

Mei Qianzhong stood up, moved his chair slightly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry about other things, concentrate on upgrading the game characters to the full level, and you will receive new tasks soon. Also, you are now 'Wei Ji' Entertainment Co., Ltd.'s probationary employees, the procedures have been completed and the first weekly salary has been paid into your personal account."

"Thank you, old man, you are so considerate." Lu Yezhou stood up and wanted to shake hands to express his gratitude, but Mei Qianzhong did not respond. He said goodbye and turned to leave.

Lu Yezhou saw his boss off, then ran to the living room window and stared outside. After a while, he said with conviction: "The old man has bought a new car again. The car he had before is still parked there. I hope he can give it to us. "

Lu Yezhou's resentment was swept away and he immediately used the chip in his body to check his account.

Every resident on Zhai Wang has a bank account from birth, which is free and will not change throughout his life. He can apply for more accounts after he reaches adulthood.

"Three thousand points." Lu Yezhou curled his lips, "Such a weekly salary is not high. A set meal on the street is almost a hundred points, and a drink is twenty points. The consumption in the city is really scary. Yours Woolen cloth?"

"Same." Lu Linbei has also checked, "This must be the standard salary."

"It's just a cover anyway, the organization won't treat us badly."

"Do you know anything about that company?"

"Weiji Entertainment? I know it is a game power-training company. It is present in many games, and "Mother Star Territory" is no exception. Some big gangs are controlled by them behind the scenes. Players pay and the gangs fight. Attack the little lord."

“Why should players pay?”

"These are all grudges in the game. You will understand after playing for a few days." Lu Yezhou's mood improved greatly. He hesitated for a while between catching up on sleep and turning on the game. He decided to be a model employee and sat on the sofa. , put on the display glasses, and quickly took them off, "The matter of the heir to the planet and the orphans must be news fabricated by the organization to lure snakes out of their holes. It actually has nothing to do with you and me. If you don't mention it, we won't need to mention it again in the future. ,right?"

"right."

"You don't want to come in and upgrade? Your role is still far from perfect."

Lu Linbei put on his glasses. He had not yet fully emerged from the vast "Waste of Waste". He felt that there were still many things to do, and he was not interested in this ancient game at all.

Not long after entering the game, a selection box appeared on the screen. Lu Yezhou said: "Click Agree, let's change gangs."

"Um?"

"I just received an invitation from another gang. The word "Weiji" was in the message. This means the organization is looking for us."

Lu Linbei agreed and found his mailbox. Sure enough, he saw the invitation among more than a dozen letters. The "gang" in Lu Yezhou's mouth was a common name. The official name was a certain big lord. The prefixes were relatively conventional and were obviously designated by the system. .

Lu Linbei assigned jobs to the farmers, and then handed over all the soldiers to Lu Yezhou's character as mercenaries. Although the upgrade was slow, it was worry-free.

"If you play like this, you won't have much tactical value in the end." Lu Yezhou reminded, but he was very willing to accept this group of warriors because it would help him upgrade.

Lu Linbei monitored the game screen and issued necessary instructions while opening another page and continuing to browse network information.

I don’t know whether it was because of the interruption, the comfort brought by Mei Qianzhong, or sheer fatigue. Lu Linbei found that his concentration was not as concentrated as before. Messages flashed by one after another. After a long time, he realized that he had none. Look, even the title was skipped.

"You are responsible for collecting information, and I am responsible for upgrading the game. We will divide the work and cooperate." Lu Yezhou was having a good time and no longer worried about assassins coming to his door.

Lu Linbei regained his composure and continued to go deep into the "Waste Sea" to obtain information.

Regarding the Sweeney's death, most speculation points to the Star Alliance or an extremist organization.

The Star Alliance is the abbreviation of the Human Planet Alliance. It is a loose organization whose main responsibility is to provide a discussion framework for the governing bodies of the major planets. People with normal thinking will not believe that the Star Alliance has assassins.

As for extremist organizations, they are numerous and have complex views, making it difficult to define. Lu Linbei selected ten organizations and screened them repeatedly, and finally there were five left. However, he did not have any investigative methods or channels. He could only act like conspirators on the Internet. Just make a wild guess.

Lu Linbei sadly discovered that his painstaking browsing and summary may not be worth a thousand simple one-sentence explanations in the end.

"The last hour." He secretly set a deadline in his mind, one hour at most. If he still got nothing, he would lie down and catch up on his sleep. When he woke up, he would concentrate on playing games and upgrading his character.

The heir to the planet, assassins, extremist organizations, Qianzhong... many things were entangled together. Lu Linbei walked deeper and deeper into the dead end. With about ten minutes left, he suddenly changed his mind and changed the search keyword to "Mother" Star Territory”.

Instead of looking for the assassin aimlessly, it is better to figure out the "one sentence" that Mei Qianzhong should have said but did not say.

Lu Linbei was quickly attracted by an article titled "Memorial of Home Planet". He was still reading it beyond the previously limited time. Then he discovered that this memorabilia was actually part of the game itself and was only reprinted on the Internet.

So he entered the game, quickly found the "Events" option, and read it again.

This game is older than expected. At the latest in SGD 130, not long after the major planets restored information networks, this game appeared, and it has never been claimed by any company. It spreads like a virus. According to rumors on the Internet, it once prospered to the point where there were tens of millions of players, and sometimes declined to the point where almost no one cares about it. It has also been officially banned several times. However, it has never completely disappeared and can always quietly reappear.

For Lu Linbei, the history of the game is much more interesting than the game itself.

He was pushed awake by Lu Yezhou.

"We haven't eaten all day. What do you see?"

"Not yet... let's eat first." Only then did Lu Linbei realize that it was already evening outside.

"We're going out to eat. I'll treat you this time." Lu Yezhou became more generous as soon as he received his salary.

The two tidied up for a while, and just as they were about to go out, there was another knock on the door.

Both of them were stunned, and Lu Yezhou asked: "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"

After waiting for about half a minute, a strange voice from outside replied: "483."
