Jiang Zhou briefly summarized his current situation:

It's all over.

He froze in place, not even daring to turn his head, and opened his mouth slightly to curse silently.

Just as he was about to ask the middleman for some information, the person responsible for the matter had already arrived.

When did this person arrive?

Is this person tmd Cao Cao? You can get there as soon as you say it?

Also, did he just hear me asking "Is the traitor Booker?"

Nonsense, I must have heard it.

Jiang Zhou felt that his expression was so embarrassing that he was shrinking into a ball.

After getting a little carried away just now, his questioning voice might even be heard outside the porch. Booker is not deaf.

What to do now? Just strike first, turn around and shoot the opponent in the face?

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Jiang Zhou was almost amused by his stupid idea.

Taking advantage of a depth 3 adjuster's "not paying attention" and reacting to kill him with one shot. This is probably a hundred times more outrageous than "I killed the tiger with a slide shovel".

But besides giving it a try, what else can I do? Is it possible to wave the white flag and surrender?

Just as Jiang Zhou was frantically thinking about any other way to get out of the current predicament, Booker had already passed him like a ghost and walked to Zhu Lin who was still standing in front of him.

Although I don’t know what the attack that just detonated the man’s head was, it is obvious that it did not involve kinetic energy-it was as if someone had stuffed explosives into his brain in advance. The unlucky middleman still maintained his previous standing

The posture, and the position above the chin of the head, all "bloomed" completely like flowers.

"Fortunately, I came in time."

After walking up to Zhu Lin and raising his hand that was hanging down, Booker turned to look at Liao Qi and said calmly.

Hiss...is this person planning to destroy the evidence along with himself?

When Jiang Zhou heard the other party speak, he felt a sense of despair.

Just when Jiang Zhou was about to yell at the other party for betraying Icarus and being a despised traitor, so that he could die with some dignity, Booker's next words made him stunned.

"Otherwise you would have died here just now."

"ha?"

Does this mean I don’t have to die?

But what does he mean?

Booker's next move made Jiang Zhou understand what the other party meant - he pointed Zhu Lin's hanging palm at the wall, and then he pressed it somewhere, and the palm suddenly moved like a beetle.

Opening it, it made a sound like a dying sigh.

Countless steel needles shot out from under that palm and were nailed deeply into the opposite wall.

When Jiang Zhou turned around at the sound of the sound, the wall seemed to be moldy, covered with countless tiny steel "fuzz".

Resisting the urge to explode, a drop of cold sweat flowed from Jiang Zhou's forehead.

"This is the enemy."

Booker held the opponent's anti-personnel booby trap that had lost its disguise, waved to Liao Qi as if to say hello, and then said:

"Remember, next time you want to interrogate someone, you must first make sure that all the prosthetics on the other person are offline, otherwise even ten lives will not be enough for you."

Immediately, his eyes naturally turned to the brain hole on Liao Qi's forehead.

"But it seems like you do have two lives, right?"

After saying that, he let go of Zhu Lin's hand, letting the other person's unbalanced body fall to the ground. Then he walked to the computer calmly and pulled out the silver memory.

He tossed it up and down, weighed it, and then threw it to Liao Qi.

Jiang Zhou subconsciously took it.

"I'm glad to see you're still alive, Liao Qi."

Booker said.

"Why should you give this to me..."

Jiang Zhou took the memory that carried the restart permission of the universal printer and looked at Booker with some confusion.

He thought he was dead.

But now the other party not only didn't seem to be planning to kill him, but even directly returned the precious memory to him.

What does this person want to do?

"Leader Koret gave this thing to you before he died and asked you to keep it well, right?"

Booker asked.

"Ah... um."

Jiang Zhou nodded.

"Then his order cannot be revoked until a new meeting is held within the organization and a new leader is selected through a formal process. You are still the holder of Icarus activation authority. Do not give it to anyone.

,including me."

Booker said as he put his hand on the computer in the room, and the next second, the entire computer exploded with sparks flying.

Not just the computer, but the electronic devices in the entire room that were more complex than light bulbs exploded one by one. All the metal circuits were burned brightly, igniting the fabrics and plastics around them.

Is this the so-called adjuster of Depth 3?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but swallow.

Fortunately, he didn't see such a scene when he just traveled to this era. Otherwise, he would definitely think that he had come to a world where spiritual energy was revived - maybe he was still waiting for the system to come online.

After burning the entire room back to the technological level of the nineteenth century, Booker took back his hand and strode out of the room. When he was at the door, he paused slightly and said:

"Although all records of our visit have been destroyed, no matter how useless the law enforcement agencies on the negative floor are, they should be here in a few minutes. If we don't leave, we will be in trouble."

After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Jiang Zhou couldn't think of any other choice besides following him.

…………

Booker and Jiang Zhou swaggered out of the apartment building, almost passing by the law enforcement team who came after hearing the news.

At the intersection, Booker calmly hailed a driverless taxi, and then he told the AI ​​voice, whose voice could be imagined as a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, that they were going to Lift No. 4.

"Let's take the next elevator to the second floor of the resettlement area."

After the taxi started moving, Booker turned his head and said to Liao Qi.

Then, he explained:

"The first floor below the resettlement area is full of informants from the government and companies. It won't be long before they figure out the real cause of Zhu Lin's death."

"How did you know I was here?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Zhou asked the doubts that had been lingering in his heart.

"You have to thank Shen Lan, the owner of the Deep Blue Zone Bar, for not taking off the identification mark of Icarus on your body, and Deep Blue Zone is a long-term partner of the organization... She mistakenly thought you were the person I sent here to check out the location.

."

Booker said, lighting a cigarette for himself.

I didn’t expect that traditional cigarettes still exist in this era.

Two puffs of smoke blew out from his nose, and Booker continued:

"Later, she checked the car you came in and told me. When I checked the vehicle information, I found dozens of tickets issued to you by the Traffic Management Bureau... By the way, when did you become so good at driving?

?There are so many people I know, but few dare to activate the 'die with no regrets' mode."

It was about half an hour ago...

Jiang Zhou thought to himself, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Liao Qi remained silent, Booker flicked the ashes of his cigarette and sighed. As if he could no longer ignore the "elephant in the room", he took the initiative to bring up the most sensitive topic.

"I know what you are suspecting, and it's not that I can't understand the reason for your suspicion. Indeed, the organization was ambushed by the company in Theseus Warehouse before. I also think that there was an insider in the organization who leaked the information...

But that person will definitely not be me."

Booker said very sincerely.

If you say it’s not, then it’s not?

Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes in his heart, but still didn't say anything.

Although the other party did not kill him before, and even returned the memory to him, this was all based on the premise that the other party could take the memory away from him at any time if he wanted to.

A native with no implants, and a depth 3 adjuster. To be honest, these two people were sitting in the same car. Giving the memory to Jiang Zhou could only make him feel at ease.

Also, Jiang Zhou felt it was hard to say whether the purpose of directly killing Zhu Lin was to silence the other party or to save himself.
To be continued...
