164 Scam
◎She felt like vomiting.◎
Zhu Ning coaxed Lin Xiaofeng to sleep and promised that she would see him when she woke up the next day.
Zhu Ning covered her with the quilt, put a red nightcap on her, and looked at her for a long time.
So this is what it feels like. Has Zhu Yao also seen himself sleeping?
Zhu Ning thought about it and realized that she must have caused Zhu Yao a lot of worry.
Zhu Ning thought of Zhu Yao. She searched through Bao Ruiming's memory and saw a memory related to the Alpha series of experimental subjects.
In Bao Ruiming's memory, a researcher from Yongsheng Pharmaceutical disappeared. Bao Ruiming did not have her name or photo in his memory. This researcher was considered Zhu Ning's "mother".
After seeing this memory, Zhu Ning wondered if Zhu Yao also existed in this world, but in a different form?
Did she create her own researcher?
Zhu Ning gently closed Lin Xiaofeng's door, turned around and saw Song Zhizhang looking tired. Thanks to Song Zhizhang for helping her take care of Lin Xiaofeng, she asked Song Zhizhang to do her a favor at that time.
Zhu Ning said softly, "Thank you."
Song Zhizhang: "There's chicken soup in the pot."
Zhu Ning's eyes lit up, and he realized that the house had always been filled with fragrance. Sure enough, chicken soup was simmering on the stove.
The chicken soup is stewed with an old hen, and the color is clear without any extra seasoning. When you open the lid of the pot, a burst of fragrance hits you.
Zhu Ning drank a mouthful of chicken soup and felt alive from the inside out. This is the meaning of life.
Zhu Ning asked, "When was it stewed?"
Song Zhizhang: "When you sent me a message."
Zhu Ning was too busy. He was chased right after coming down from the clouds. He reported that he was safe at six in the morning, but this pot of soup was stewed from morning to midnight.
At that moment, Zhu Ning wanted to take Song Zhizhang home. She thought she was too virtuous. But then she thought about it and realized that she was already in his house.
Song Zhizhang: "Xiaofeng asked me to stew it, and she ate half a bowl."
Zhu Ning said "Oh", and realized that he was just a freeloader.
Zhu Ning served him a bowl. Because he was afraid of waking up Lin Xiaofeng, he lowered his voice when speaking. The two of them ate in a furtive manner.
Song Zhizhang had no appetite and basically just watched Zhu Ning eat. Zhu Ning had only eaten nutrient solution since he came down from the clouds. He drank several bowls in a row and even ate up all the chicken.
Song Zhizhang sat opposite her and looked at her, "How was your harvest this time?"
Zhu Ning: "Which aspect do you mean?"
Song Zhizhang propped up his chin and said, "It feels like you've made a new friend."
Zhu Ning was stunned. "You can see that?"
Song Zhizhang said with a smile, "You are wearing a piece of clothing that doesn't fit you. It's totally not your style. The cheapest coat of this brand is 60,000 Singapore dollars, and you are wearing a new model of the season."
Zhu Ning: “…”
Huo Wenxi's clothes are ridiculously expensive.
Should she wash the clothes and return them?
Song Zhizhang continued: "You met a boy."
Zhu Ning knew that people in this line of work would definitely be able to judge people, but he didn't expect that he could even see this. He asked, "How did you know?"
Song Zhizhang: "There is a smell of blood on you, but it's not your blood. There is also a smell of ice. I guess it's a man."
Zhu Ning coughed lightly, "Is your nose so sensitive?"
Song Zhizhang: "Some insignificant little talents, supernatural powers have their own flavor."
Zhu Ning had an inexplicable illusion that she had been caught cheating. She didn't know whether she should argue that she had just made a mistake that every woman would make.
Zhu Ning: "I just gave him medicine."
I touched my abdominal muscles.
Song Zhizhang smiled: "As long as you are happy."
Song Zhizhang is in this line of work. Zhu Ning is very dazzling. Such a person is destined to have many outstanding people around him. It will be clear if you use common sense.
Zhu Ning saw that Song Zhizhang was wearing a human-machine joint device on his solar plexus. She remembered that Song Zhizhang took it off after that conversation.
Why are you wearing it again today?
Zhu Ning asked, "Does Prometheus have a mission for you today?"
Her tone was normal, she was completely accustomed to Song Zhizhang being Prometheus.
Song Zhizhang did not answer the question immediately. He was silent for a moment before saying, "No, I was afraid of missing the news of your death."
Zhu Ning frowned and didn't understand it at first.
Song Zhizhang said, "You disappeared for nineteen hours."
Every minute and every second of the nineteen hours was difficult to endure, and the first few hours were the most painful.
Song Zhizhang knew that Zhu Ning had entered the cloud of consciousness, but he didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
Song Zhizhang finally made it through the night, and only received news from Zhu Ning the next morning. There was only a message from the secondary brain saying he was safe, and then nothing else.
Song Zhizhang was not sure if it was him who sent the message.
His social circle did not overlap with Zhu Ning's, and in Zhu Ning's registration information, no one knew that she lived in the Noble Queen Hotel.
If Zhu Ning died, the cleaning center would hold an official funeral, and no one would even notify him and Lin Xiaofeng.
He and Lin Xiaofeng were not family members at the official level, so they were not qualified to receive news of the death.
He wore the human-machine joint device because if Zhu Ning died, Prometheus would notify him immediately after receiving the news.
Zhu Ning realized that he had gone too far. "I'm sorry. I promise to notify you immediately next time."
Song Zhizhang nodded: "Okay."
He can be the first person to be notified of Zhu Ning's death.
Zhu Ning added: "I really won't get into any trouble."
She made a promise to Song Zhizhang before leaving, and she kept it.
Song Zhizhang heard that she was still a little bit cocky and smiled, "You should get some rest early. If you need anything, tell me."
Zhu Ning felt that the other party should not be angry. He had a good personality and was generous and considerate.
Zhu Ning looked at Song Zhizhang again and felt that something was not right about him, but he showed nothing.
So Zhu Ning just said, "Good night, Song Zhizhang."
"Good night..." Song Zhizhang opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to say baby, but swallowed it back.
When he first met Zhu Ning, he could joke with her and call her baby without hesitation, but now it is difficult for him to say it freely.
After saying good night to each other, Song Zhizhang gently closed Zhu Ning's door. There was no one in the corridor today, and there was only a holographic stripper dancing in the distance.
Song Zhizhang was standing alone in the corridor, and only then did he relax. He leaned against the wall, one of his hands was shaking, and he could only use the other hand to hold down his wrist.
The fear seemed to still linger. Ever since that incident, he really couldn't accept the news of anyone's death.
…
After Song Zhizhang left, Zhu Ning sat alone in the restaurant for a while.
Lin Xiaofeng fell asleep and Song Zhizhang left, which gave her some space to think.
She was so busy that she only had the chance to look at her system panel now. This time she was rewarded with 10,000 purification points. The current accumulated purification value is 15,000, and her health value is 36 left.
Her health was still too low, and she had no contaminated spores to collect this time.
She wanted to ask Huo Wenxi for a task. Could she be asked to do some work to contain the contaminated spores?
The illusory floating sand island mission has been completed, and a passive combat talent has been awarded. The description is that if you are judged to be unable to fight, you will fall into passive mode.
Zhu Ning has experienced this mode before, and it can save her life, but she doesn't like it very much. She prefers to have her own consciousness firmly control her body rather than leave it to a program.
There are also two system items, the power reducer.
[Reward Description: This item can affect the effectiveness of the opponent's abilities. The reduction in weight will be calculated based on actual consumption.]
This item is quite interesting and very suitable for use in combat, but I don’t know how much health points it will consume when actually used.
The system rewards seemed to be getting less and less, not as generous as at the beginning. If one regarded the system as a game, Zhu Ning seemed to have encountered obstacles in playing the game, and there was no strategy for her to refer to.
The progress bar for the main quest and side quest "Finding the Truth About Death" remains unchanged.
There was still no response to the direction and degree of mutation. She had not mutated again. Before this, Zhu Ning had been trying every possible way to activate this panel.
Ever since he knew he had to "restart" himself, Zhu Ning started to rethink this direction.
For convenience, Zhu Ning still refers to her previous version of herself as "the original owner." What was the reason for her reboot? Did she choose the wrong talent?
The "original owner" must have higher health points, a more developed system, and stronger abilities than oneself.
Being able to embark on the path of restart means that according to the calculations of the "original owner" and Prometheus, this path will bring greater gains.
Zhu Ning guessed that he might need to light up this part of the panel.
When it came to restarting, Zhu Ning had no idea at all. Prometheus hadn't contacted her again. She had just seen Song Zhizhang wearing a human-machine combined device and thought she would get some clues.
I don’t know if Xu Meng has found the human-machine joint device.
Zhu Ning carefully recalled the memories she saw in Bao Ruiming's mind. At that time, time was tight and she only took a quick look.
Now she has copied most of Bao Ruiming's memory fragments into her own mind. If she looks carefully, she may find new clues.
But she just wanted to sleep now, she planned to talk about it tomorrow.
Before going to sleep, Zhu Ning turned on her secondary brain and sent many messages to Liu Niannian, but Liu Niannian had not replied to her yet.
Zhu Ning suddenly regretted not adding Pei Shu’s contact information, otherwise he could have asked more questions.
Is Liu Niannian okay?
…
Lu family.
Ten hours have passed since Genesis Technology was hacked.
Chuangshi Technology almost experienced a credit crisis, but the incident was quickly extinguished and no customers noticed.
Liu Niannian reported the cause of the incident, wrote a complete report, and signed his real name. The report was sent to Lu Yao, and his father also had reading permission.
But his father was old, and all matters of creation, big or small, were handled by Lu Yao, so this matter did not alarm the head of the family.
Liu Niannian originally thought that the situation would become more chaotic if her father stepped forward, but now she is completely in Lu Yao's hands.
Lu Yao has absolute power over her.
Lu Yao read the report and it seemed to have no loopholes. The playful young lady from a rich family was interested in everything and liked to go in and out of polluted areas. Every time she got into trouble, her family had to clean up the mess.
When a person has done enough ridiculous things, then doing something excessive is just like another one of them.
This time, Liu Niannian's adventure location was simply changed to the cloud, the consciousness body of a VIP guest.
It doesn't seem like a big problem, but Lu Yao knows where the problem lies.
She was a new friend of Liu Niannian. She deliberately downplayed this part in her report and oral account, and all the responsibility lies with herself.
Now Liu Niannian was standing in front of him, with Sun Jie and others standing behind him. All the people who knew the situation were here.
Liu Niannian waited for Lu Yao to punish her.
Lu Yao: "You did a great job this time."
Liu Niannian was stunned, thinking that she had misheard, and looked up at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao continued: "You successfully prevented a family crisis."
Sun Jie, who was standing at the back, breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He was the head of the security department and he needed to be responsible for this incident. Demotion was the least of his worries. If he really caused serious losses, he would definitely not be able to leave Chuangshi Technology alive.
Now that Lu Yao has determined that this is a good thing, he might not be demoted but may even be promoted.
He actually did the right thing by helping Liu Niannian.
Liu Niannian frowned instead. She felt that this matter would not be so easy to resolve.
Sun Jie immediately said, "I'll go back and write a plan to upgrade the security system."
Chuangshi Technology needs to be upgraded. This incident was very strange. Lu Yao's first reaction was to order the elimination of all evidence. They didn't even analyze where the loophole was.
Security upgrades are probably not easy to do. Sun Jie just took office this year and didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Now is his chance to make a contribution.
Lu Yao: "No need."
Sun Jie didn't react, "Why not?"
With such a big loophole, shouldn't the first reaction be to strengthen defenses based on the principle of being responsible to the guests?
Lu Yao didn't say anything, just smiled.
Liu Niannian saw the smile on Lu Yao's lips, which meant that he was planning a strategy. Liu Niannian suddenly had a terrible guess, he knew it.
Lu Yao knew it a long time ago.
No wonder he didn't get angry or rush to the computer room immediately. He just suspended the meeting.
No wonder he handled the situation so decisively, directly ordering the killing of Bao Ruiming's brain and not wanting to keep any samples of Bao Ruiming for research.
No wonder he could hand this matter over to Liu Niannian, and no wonder he could agree to give himself five minutes.
At that time, what Lu Yao needed to deal with was not the uploading of pollutants, but himself.
Liu Niannian accidentally exposed this matter.
Pollutants can parasitize in the cloud of consciousness. Lu Yao knew all this but did not take any measures.
Not only rich people live in the cloud of Chuangshi Technology's consciousness body, but many ordinary people have worked hard all their lives and used all their savings to purchase services.
Pollution is becoming increasingly serious. Many people are disappointed with reality and regard the cloud of consciousness as the Garden of Eden. They spend all their money to buy Lu's services, but end up living with pollutants.
Liu Niannian couldn't even imagine how many pollutants were living in the cloud of consciousness.
The Consciousness Cloud is a huge scam.
They not only cheated the poor, but also the rich.
The Lu family's entire foundation is built on an imaginary story, just like an idea they told when they started their business. This idea is so beautiful and perfect that it is impeccable.
But in fact it is just a castle in the air, like a bubble.
The problem is that Liu Niannian now knows that it is a bubble, but she is unable to burst it. Not only will it cause panic, it may also lead to the deaths of thousands of people.
But everything she enjoys now, every money she spends, and every willful decision she makes are all paid for by this scam.
Liu Niannian was trembling, her head was buzzing, and for a moment she found Lu Yao ridiculous.
The founders of the Lu family were the first batch of first-class citizens, and the concept of Genesis Technology was also proposed at that time.
In order to save all mankind, a pure land was created.
They may have really thought so at the beginning, but later when the second and third generations came to power, they found that this approach was not feasible and that pollutants could upload consciousness.
But it was too late now. The Lu family had become a behemoth, and there was no turning back. Therefore, they could only continue with their great cause and continue to fulfill this story.
The Lu family is really crazy. They built their empire by stepping on the flesh and blood of countless people.
Are they...in the pollutant business now?
What’s the difference between this and trying to get the skin of a tiger?
The Lu family only has one last way to go. Chuangshi Technology has created a myth, so they must complete the myth at all costs.
Myth-writing comes at a price.
Lu Yao didn't answer, and Sun Jie also reacted. He suddenly realized that his situation was very dangerous and didn't even dare to speak at this time.
He knew the secret of creation technology.
The number of people who knew this secret had always been limited to ten people, all of whom were high-ranking members of the Lu family.
The number of people now is obviously beyond the limit, and only a small enough number of people can ensure that the secret will not be leaked.
All along, the pollutants living in the cloud of consciousness have maintained a balance, and no one has broken the balance except this time.
The position of security supervisor is a sinecure because under normal circumstances nothing would happen, but Sun Jie just happened to run into it.
Sun Jie's last name wasn't Lu, so he didn't think he would be treated any differently. Just because Liu Niannian wouldn't be punished didn't mean he wouldn't be.
He was a third-class citizen clone who had worked his way up from the branch office through continuous promotions.
He is going to die.
Sun Jie moved his feet and took a step back. He didn't say anything and didn't make any big movements, just like a weak animal in the jungle attracting the attention of a carnivore.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder, and with a snap, someone broke his arm and kicked him in the knee, making him kneel on the ground.
The Lu family’s dog took action.
Sun Jie shouted, "Boss Lu! Boss Lu, please talk to me nicely. I am loyal to you! I will work for you with my life!"
Lu Yao: "I'm sorry, you didn't stand the test."
Sun Jie made a terrible decision and the entire crisis handling was irresponsible.
To Lu Yao, Sun Jie was just a useful tool, and there were countless people who could replace him.
There was a gun on Lu Yao's desk. The gun was very old, like an antique.
This was a thing from before the advent of global pollution, a Berletta with an intricately carved silver handle.
This gun has more symbolic significance than practical meaning. The gun used by the first generation head of the Lu family was later passed down to each head of the family.
At the same time, this gun is stained with the blood of countless people.
Lu Yao looked at Liu Niannian: "Can I trust you?"
He asked this question again. When he said this before, he handed over the right to deal with Bao Ruiming to Liu Niannian.
"Niannian," Lu Yao called her by her nickname, "Can you do this?"
Liu Niannian clenched her fists. She understood what Lu Yao wanted her to do. He wanted her to kill Sun Jie with her own hands.
This is the punishment for Liu Niannian.
She had the ability to plead with Sun Jie, saying for example that it was all her fault and Sun Jie was just helping her, and if there was any punishment, he should punish herself.
But Liu Niannian knew that this was meaningless and Sun Jie was doomed to die.
She looked at Lu Yao quietly for a long time, as if it was a century.
Liu Niannian will definitely pay the price for his willfulness.
She picked up the ancient Bereta, as if she was picking up the butcher knife passed down from generation to generation by her father.
She felt her heart beating so fast, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. She raised her wrist and pointed the gun at Sun Jie.
Sun Jie's eyes widened in horror. He tried to break free, but the two men held him down tightly. He looked like a pitiful prey that had been caught.
"You can't," Sun Jie shouted, "Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu! Give me one chance, and I won't tell anyone."
As an ordinary person, Sun Jie finally made it to this day and thought he had reached the kingdom of God.
Although I work for rich people, at least I am superior to others.
But he didn't expect that being a free man in the Kingdom of God would be a dead end.
Sun Jie screamed at the top of his lungs, knowing that asking Lu Yao for help was useless, the only one who could help was Lu Yuan.
"Miss, I, I, I am helping you."
"Miss," Sun Jie's voice was shaking, "Think about it, it's not me. Your friend is dead. I—"
Bang--!
Liu Niannian pulled the trigger, and before Sun Jie could finish his next words, a hole appeared on his head. Liu Niannian hit his solar plexus, and the bullet went through his forehead, but he didn't feel any pain.
Sun Jie's eyes widened, and he could no longer say the rest of the sentence. He fell to the ground with a thud.
Liu Niannian took a deep breath, seeming a little unbelievable that she had killed a person.
This was the first person she killed with her own hands.
This was also the first time she saw reality clearly. Before, she was just dreaming about pink bubbles, but now the dream was burst.
The reality is bloody.
Lu Yao held Liu Niannian's trembling hand from behind and said, "You did a good job."
Liu Niannian's face was covered in blood, and the sticky blood blocked her mouth and nose, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She felt like vomiting.
