Chapter 28 Backup Plan
"Look... who is here." Gates's face appeared on the screen: "I was still thinking... Why did such a thing happen to the Tianjiu? It turned out to be invaded."
"Sir! I..." No. 23 tried to explain the situation.
Gates didn't give him this opportunity, because he could see the situation before him just one look. "Mr. Mirror-faced, I think there is no need for hostages. It's better to let No. 23 leave, and I let the young men who tried to rush in and kill No. 20 to calm down and give some private space. Let's talk alone."
The scheming Gates directly threw out a deal that was acceptable to both parties. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse. He moved his neck and signaled that No. 23 could leave.
No. 23 quickly walked to the door, opened the electronic door, and before the door closed again, he could hear his footsteps running in the corridor.
"What do you want to talk about?" asked Jingfang. When he saw Gates' face, he knew that it was impossible to successfully obtain information. Even if he pulled out the hard drive now, there would be no available data inside.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jingface, first choice, I'm going to fulfill my promise." Gates turned his face to the side and said something through an intercom. He turned off the audio signal from Jingface, and did not give the other party the opportunity to read his lips. About a minute later, he turned his face back and said to Jingface: "Okay, now you should be able to see that the people close to the monitoring room of Jingface have stopped moving and have kept a certain distance from where Jingface is."
Mirror Face did see this scene through the surveillance camera. However, he also saw something else, "and the people who were originally in the rooms around me also began to evacuate."
Gates smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mirror Face, that's our own floating carrier. We will never risk putting biological weapons on the ship or creating regional big explosions."
"Is interests first?" Jingfang continued.
"Haha... I'm right, this is a very realistic problem. The cost of a facility like Tianjiu is astronomical. The capital investment of cultivating a whole ship's staff is less than one-fifth of the value of the ship itself."
"Hmph... the first lesson I learned in my life is to be extremely careful when dealing with people like Ya." The mirror face sat at the position of No. 23 just now.
"Haha..." Gates shrugged with a smile: "It sounds like a little dark in life, Mr. Mirror Face. You know. Most of the people I know, their first lesson in life is... When a beautiful girl smiles at Ji, Ji quickly goes up and says hi, and then asks her out."
"I'm not sitting here to listen to an old man talking about dealing with people." Mirror face said: "If I knew me well, I wouldn't..."
Gates interrupted: "I know I am at least hundreds of years old, Mr. Mirror Face."
The expression under the mirror-faced mask changed, but he was wearing a mask and the other party couldn't see it.
"I... no, I should say that 'we' understand 日本 far exceeds 日's own imagination," said Gates. "Of course, 日本 has also realized something, so 日本 will appear there at this moment and try to steal information about 日本 in the matrix, right?"
"Ji means you guys are ready. Is this a trap?" Jingfang asked.
"No, no, no, we are not against the cross. No one can predict in advance when and where Jae will appear." Gates waved his hand and denied: "Maybe Jae will attack one of our bases. Maybe she sneaked into the base of a certain army, or maybe she directly broke into the headquarters where the matrix is located... Haha, as for Tianji, to be honest, it was a bit unexpected. However, the intelligence analysis department does firmly believe that Jae will have similar actions today. Therefore, we have prepared in advance, and when an unauthorized cāo author searched Jae's intelligence, I responded at the first moment."
Jingface snorted coldly: "So what?" He returned to the question just now: "What do you want to talk about?"
"I want to talk about resource sharing, Mr. Mirror Face." Gates said: "Zi lures the front line and is willing to become a cooperative relationship again."
"Born nonsense." Mirror face said: "I will not hand over the Eternal Core Fragment to anyone."
Gates did not make a direct comment on this and instead said: "After the Atlantic City incident, we re-examined Ji's strength and investigated Ji's background. The result surprised our senior management. Ji may be the longest-lived person in the world at present, right?"
"Hmph... the one who lives the longest is unimaginable." Jingfang sneered.
Gates continued: "But why has Jen's strength changed so amazingly within this year? The answer is undoubtedly related to the eternal core fragments collected by Jen. If Jen can share the secrets of the pieces with us, we will be happy to share with Jen's huge resources. Imagine Mr. Mirror Face, a huge intelligence network, strong financial resources, and technological capabilities at the forefront of the times. All of these can serve for Jen's revenge. I don't know what kind of holidays are there for Jen's Tianyi, but I think if Jen's frontline really starts a war with a small-scale organization like Jen's cross, the outcome will be obvious."
"Yes, the outcome is very obvious." Jingfang said: "The conversation with Ji is very pleasant... Since Ji only knows me at this stage and still knows nothing about Tianyi, I feel relieved. Keep those data by themselves." He stood up, and it seemed that he was about to withdraw.
Gates raised his head and said, "I advise you to think carefully before replying to me, Mr. Mirror, you must know that it is much easier to forcefully seize fragments from your hands than to get them from the reverse cross."
"You can try it." Mirror face raised one hand, and the short sword inserted on the console came to his hand as if there was life. A black energy instantly covered the sword body. He saw him use an incredible speed to set out the sword, and many sword shadows flew out of his body 360 degrees.
In the metal room, whether it is the four walls, the ceiling above the head and the floor below the feet, they are all cut by sword lights, and the console and screen are all destroyed.
He kicked open the thick metal electronic door and came to the corridor. The mirror snorted coldly: "It's true that's not what I expected."
In the corridor to his right, there was a figure standing, a man in a suit.
"It seems that I will be tampering with the surveillance screen, not only me..." said Jingfang.
What Gates said on the intercom before was not just to withdraw the soldiers who were charging towards the monitoring room. The withdrawal was only part of the plan. When no one was active in the surveillance screen, the picture was replaced by a short cycle mechanism. After that, no matter what happened, the mirror could see only empty corridors and rooms. And because no one was staying inside as a reference, the repetition of the video was difficult to detect.
"You can call me a leech ghost." said the leech ghost: "Or... a backup plan."
"Hahaha...the reserve plan?" Jingying sneered: "I'm very curious about the reserve plan, why is there only one person, and his partner? Is he invisible? Or is he narrowing his abilities and is now getting into my trousers?"
"I don't have a partner." Leech ghost replied, since I joined this organization, there has been no one.
"Oh? This is very interesting." said the mirror face: "As far as I know, the organizational structure of the front line is not at all. It is precisely because of the rigorous structure and some iron laws that they have strong strength. Those with ability should be in a group of two people and support each other. From the perspective of energy form, they should be a master, definitely not an ordinary person or a transformed person, but Ji said... Ji has no partner?" He paused: "Either this is a strategy, or it means Ji is a unique person."
"I don't know that I'm normal, too." Leech ghost replied: "When I joined the organization, Ji had already left."
"Oh? So that's it." Jingying quickly understood the meaning of this sentence: "Is he a high-level abilities escaped from Tide Prison, right?"
Leech ghost continued his words: "However, I still have some understanding of Jeff.... When I betray Zi lure the front line, I was still a strong-level abilities. But recently I heard that Lei Huo and Dixter join forces are no longer the opponents of Jeff?"
"I still haven't answered my question."
"It's very simple." said the Leek Ghost: "Because I don't need a partner."
"It's a good reason, and it explains a lot of problems." Mirror face said: "It's impossible that there is only one capable person on the Tianjiu. The one who is in charge here believes that sending a man to deal with me is the best plan."
"Hmph... I don't have a partner." The Leek Ghost was still very calm, and his tone didn't look like a bluff: "I don't need help for you, it's enough for me to deal with you."
The mirror face said nothing. He turned into a black shadow and instantly came behind the leech ghost. The short sword in his hand was as fast as the wind and as thunder. The sword edge covered with black energy tore the leech ghost's body to pieces within five seconds.
Even a master like Leech Ghost was shocked by the speed of the mirror. If it were the thunder fire here, blood would have splattered on the spot at this moment.
"It's much better than what is expected in the database... Did Lei Huo really escape from his men..." The leech ghost's shoulders were still intact. His torn body turned into semi-coagulated liquid, supporting his head and arms, and his legs were connected below.
The mirror face did not show too many surprises about the other party's changes: "Oh, no wonder I dared to act alone, but my ability is very good. Is it a mutant with special physique?" A laugh came from under the mask: "I'm accepting my ability... I'll accept it here!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
