Delicate slug (7)
There was no surveillance in the weapons room, but Shi Jianxia still took off the smart bracelet and stuffed it into the isolation storage box prepared in his backpack as soon as he reacted. He then used Fei's mimicry talent [If water moves, it will dry up; if grass moves, it will die] to isolate himself from the outside environment with its field-like energy force field, thus preventing prying eyes.
After doing all this, Meng Ji took the initiative to spit the jade card into Shi Jianxia's palm.
The exquisite jade plaque felt warm to the touch, and now it was emitting a faint glow, actively drawing her mental power and producing a mysterious resonance.
The Doctor communicated with her in her mind through this mental resonance.
Shi Jianxia was shocked and didn't dare to think about anything. He called "Doctor" in a normal tone.
"Why didn't you kill Subject C-2658?" The calm voice made it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
C-2658 is Wen Qiuqiu's experimental number.
Shi Jianxia said calmly: "Keeping her is more useful than killing her."
She didn't know how No. 7 got along with the doctor, but she knew herself and never made unnecessary explanations in front of her leader, but instead let her performance speak for itself.
Of course, most leaders are too lazy to listen to their subordinates’ explanations, and even think that they are quibbling.
"Oh?" The doctor uttered a short syllable, which meant that he wanted to hear her detailed explanation.
"I met someone on Shuiyuan Star and at the black market trade fair." Shi Jianxia said.
Ever since she learned that she was a senior traitor of Higanbana, she had been thinking about what the doctor would say if he contacted her.
An explanation must be given for Wen Qiuqiu's matter. Letting her enter the Zerg Investigation Department as an undercover agent can be used as a reason, but it may not be able to convince the doctor.
Wen Qiuqiu was an experimental subject of the Higanbana organization and defected after the experiment was successful. To Higanbana, she is a traitor and has no loyalty. The leverage that can hold her in the hands of the Zerg Investigation Department has already fallen into the hands of the Zerg Investigation Department, making the risks of her being an undercover agent greater than the benefits.
If she were the leader of the Higanbana organization, she would definitely nip this uncertainty in the bud and let Wen Qiuqiu go to meet the King of Hell.
The doctor who ordered Number Nine to hunt down Wen Qiuqiu must have had the same idea.
If you want him to change his mind, the benefits must outweigh the risks.
Shi Jianxia didn't wait for the doctor to ask again and took the initiative to say, "He is not from the Zerg Research Office, and his two appearances were both for Subject C-2658. He must have known about Subject C-2658's existence before the Zerg Research Office did."
At this point, she paused and then said something earth-shattering, "I guess there might be a traitor in the organization."
Xia Jianye has repeatedly emphasized that the matter of the experimental subject is top secret. She is the core researcher's masterpiece and according to the original plan, it should be sent to a more advanced research institute to claim credit. This means that not many people know about Wen Qiuqiu, but the news has been passed up.
The cross-dressing man was able to know that something was wrong in the underground research institute so quickly, and took advantage of the information gap to enter the underground research institute before the Zerg Investigation Department to look for something. But that thing was not the first star core. The thing he was looking for could only be the experimental body temperature Qiuqiu.
The doctor remained silent, not sure whether he agreed with her point of view.
Shi Jianxia was also very patient.
The first step to defeating your opponent is to create internal conflicts for them.
Of course, she wasn't lying.
The cross-dressing man clearly showed that he was not from the Zerg Investigation Department, and he also wanted to poach Red Spider Lily and take Wen Qiuqiu away. He must have some ulterior motive.
The Higanbana family is wealthy and powerful, and with a core member like Number Nine, they probably don't keep a low profile. It's not surprising that there are undercover agents from the Zerg Investigation Department or other forces within the organization. The Doctor must know this.
The reason why the cross-dressing boss was not led to a third-party force was mainly because Shi Jianxia was afraid that Higanbana had a secret enemy, and No. 7 and the Doctor knew about this.
Under this assumption, if she expressed her suspicion of a third-party force, the doctor would definitely find something wrong, but if she suspected that there was a traitor within the organization, she could cleverly avoid this pitfall and let the doctor spontaneously understand that it was a possible enemy who wanted to poach her.
Divert conflicts and shift the blame elsewhere.
Compared with a high-level traitor, an experimental subject who just came out of the laboratory and had basically no contact with the secrets of the red spider lily is not that important.
Wen Qiuqiu could instead be used as bait to lure out the "traitor".
Shi Jianxia added fuel to the fire, "And I suspect that the first star core has fallen into the hands of that person."
All the researchers in the underground research institute were dead, so it was impossible for anyone to activate the self-destruct program. Zhuang Mingyue directly suspected Higanbana and assumed that the cross-dressing man was Higanbana's man.
Shi Jianxia did not tell Zhuang Mingyue about the cross-dressing boss she met at the anonymous trading council. She did not know that the 'blonde woman' who appeared in the underground research institute was going to rob the red spider lily.
When the first star core was mentioned, the doctor stopped being silent. "Number Seven, find the second star core as soon as possible."
He paused and said meaningfully, "Don't let me down."
Shi Jianxia was stunned. Before he could think about the meaning of this sentence, the glowing jadeite plate had returned to its original appearance.
Communication ended.
Realizing this, Shi Jianxia's straight back relaxed slightly, and he found that the clothes on his back were completely soaked with sweat.
At this stage, she cannot reveal the fact that she has no memory, otherwise endless troubles will come.
Before she finds out why No. 7 wants to rescue Wen Qiuqiu, she cannot betray Higanbana.
Not to mention the price Higanbana would pay to hunt down a core member who defected, just this jade token that could resonate with her mental power was enough to terrify her.
Higanbana, the Harmony Faction, experimental subjects... they don't sound like a serious organization, so it makes perfect sense that they would use unconventional means to control their members. For example, if a member betrays you, you can directly use the identity jade token that can resonate with the owner's mental power to destroy their mental power source.
Shi Jianxia leaned back in her chair, recalling her brief conversation with the doctor.
Regarding the question of whether there is a traitor within the Higanbana organization, the doctor did not give a positive response, but he must have listened to it, otherwise it would not be so easy to move on from Wen Qiuqiu's matter and focus on the star core.
This obviously gave her a high degree of mission freedom. As long as the ultimate goal was achieved, she could decide how to carry out the mission based on her own wishes.
Since it was her idea to keep Wen Qiuqiu, it was naturally her decision on how to control her.
The doctor's reaction also made Shi Jianxia basically certain that No. 7's main task was to find the star core, and matters related to the traitor would be left to other people.
This hurdle has been passed for the time being, but Shi Jianxia can almost foresee that the next time she communicates with the Doctor, if she cannot produce the star core, the Doctor will never be as easy to talk to as he was this time.
Jade pendant.
Shi Jianxia lowered his eyes and looked at the warm and white jade token in his hand.
How did the Doctor communicate directly with her consciousness through the jade token? Was it a mimicry talent?
If so, this kind of talent is too abstract.
She had to find a way to 'unbind' herself from this jade token, otherwise, as she had speculated, she would most likely be controlled by it, with her life and death completely determined by another person's will.

When I came out of the weapons preparation room, Shi Jianxia returned to the dormitory, and Wen Qiuqiu happened to be there too.
She blinked and said, "Qiuqiu, Yuan Huai said that we should go to the hot spring villa during the holiday this week. You can come too."
Wen Qiuqiu's eyes flickered and she nodded.
She carried with her the intelligent computer given by the Zerg Investigation Office, and her every word and action was monitored. She basically never took it off except when taking a shower or changing clothes.
In the dormitory, Shi Jianxia wanted to talk to her, but it was impossible for him to take a shower with her as that would be too suspicious.
This trip to the hot spring villa is an opportunity. They can soak in the hot springs together. It will be difficult for the people from the Zerg Investigation Department to keep an eye on them. With her as an insider responsible for surveillance, they can completely hide the truth.
After the matter was settled, Shi Jianxia sent Yuan Huai a message that Wen Qiuqiu agreed to go together, and Yuan Huai happily sent him an "Oh Yeah".
The next few days were calm, and Zhu Yan finally figured out an invisibility cloak.
Shi Jianxia was overjoyed and released the raccoon dog who was good at digging holes. He put an invisibility cloak on it and asked it to dig a hole in a relatively hidden place in Nandong Military Academy. He dug it under the principal's office building to check whether there was really another space next to the weapons vault.
As the digging work had to be done in secret, Li Li made very little noise while working, always doing it late at night when no one was around, and it would take at least half a month to complete.
When she changed her major to the Operations Department, she saw Xia Chenggong and Xia Shuxing as classmates. He even stopped her twice and said he wanted to challenge her to a duel.
Shi Jianxia was too lazy to pay attention to him and dismissed him with a word "I don't have time". He then went to block Wen Qiuqiu, but Wen Qiuqiu didn't even look at him. Xia Shuxing was so angry that he jumped up and down many times, but he couldn't do anything about them.
As the weekend approached, Yuan Huai gathered a small group of four people and happily told them that the hot spring villa had been booked and they would take a hovercraft to go there in the evening.
The three of them thanked the chaebol heir together.
When Shi Jianxia packed up and prepared to leave the dormitory, he sensed some unusual movement in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and immediately went to the bathroom.
Meng Ji jumped out from the pages of the book and spit the jade card into her hand again.
This time it wasn’t a communication from the Doctor, but a respectful message.
A-11: Master Qi, I, A-11, have received orders from the organization to cooperate with you in completing the mission. I have now arrived at Nan Teng Star. Please give me your instructions. [Resume.pdf]
Shi Jianxia's eyebrows raised slightly, and she clicked on the file sent along with the message.
The boy in the photo on the front page of the file has soft chestnut curly hair and a few freckles on his cheeks. He is not handsome, but has the feeling of a boy next door, looking innocent and harmless.
Kurisugi.
A holder of the Yao Gold Medal, a person with level five abilities, and a mimicking S-level Bamboo Leaf Green.
She did not reply to the message, but handed the jade token to Meng Ji and continued to keep it in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Cooperate to complete the task?
Maybe it also means surveillance?
How much money did Zhuang Mingyue give her for killing a Yao Jinpai?
She promised to make sure that this Li Shan died a worthy death.
