Chapter 156 Chaos Block No. 13 (13) Spy
The conditions in the underground clinic were rudimentary. The second bedroom was used as an infusion room. The curtains were tightly drawn, the lights were dim, and the sheets were damp and sticky.
"There's a strange smell," Duanchang sniffed the air, "Li Ren has been here, hasn't he?"
"No." Fu Yi said, "Maybe he passed by here."
Broken Heart shrugged: "Well, he tastes really disgusting."
Fu Yi gave Gao Mengtang an injection of anti-blocker and a nutrition drip: "What's going on? The side effects of 04 blocker are very small."
"The Black Prince has strange eating habits..." Duanchang had just said halfway when Gao Mengtang coughed twice, interrupting him.
The vegetarian habit is too rare. If other players hear about it, they will easily guess that "The Black Prince is Gao Mengtang", which is not conducive to hiding his identity.
Gao Mengtang was a wanted criminal. When Duanchang dragged him to the underground clinic, he had to wrap a bandage around his face to hide his features. If other players knew his true identity, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Hearing Gao Mengtang cough, Duanchang was also smart enough to shut up: "He thought potatoes didn't have much fiber and ate too many potatoes."
"After taking the 04 blocker, you should eat meat as your staple food," Fu Yi was not surprised. He gave a few instructions and then said to Duan Chang, "You are going to hold a demonstration next Monday, right? Come, I have something to tell you."
In order not to disturb the patient's rest, Fu Yi and Duan Chang left the room and went to the corridor to discuss things. Gao Mengtang was receiving an IV drip by himself. The high fever made his head heavy like cotton soaked in hot water, and he felt drowsy.
Creak. The sound of a wooden door opening.
Gao Mengtang opened his eyes reflexively.
Someone came in, but he didn't make a sound and his footsteps were very light. It didn't seem like he was a legitimate visitor... Gao Mengtang clenched a syringe.
The door of the second bedroom was pushed open with a bang. The door hit the wall and bounced back. The shadow of the dark green tentacle flashed by. The visitor finally spoke, his voice was very low: "What are you doing!"
Hearing this voice, Gao Mengtang instantly relaxed. It was Wei Wei.
But it was not convenient for him to meet Wei Wei now, so Gao Mengtang turned sideways and lay down with his back to the door. He quickly adjusted the bandage on his face and pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face.
The door opened.
Can't see me, can't see me. Gao Mengtang closed his eyes tightly, like someone trying to cover his ears and steal a bell.
Suddenly, my shoulder was pushed.
"Mr. Blind, why did you delete my friend?" Wei Wei was dissatisfied and pulled Gao Mengtang's shoulders to make him lie flat. "Don't pretend to sleep. Your eyelashes are shaking all the time."
Gao Mengtang had to open his eyes: "Hey, good evening."
"Not good." Wei Wei said, "Why delete friends? Do you know how anxious we are?"
He was wearing a mask, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were like two cold ghost lights: "Where's your phone? Add me as a friend. Where do you live now?"
"No, I'm a wanted criminal now. I smashed your phone. I can't tell you where I live," Gao Mengtang whispered, "Go away and don't get involved with me."
Wei Wei sat on the bed, proving with his actions that he was determined not to leave. He glanced at Gao Mengtang's hand that was receiving an IV drip and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's a long story... It's food poisoning. It's not life-threatening." Gao Mengtang said, "What are you doing here?"
"I've taken a job to help Fu Yi translate medical documents from the other world. I'll send it to him after the translation is completed." Wei Wei glanced around. There was no one around, so he moved closer. "Pegana and Su Ji Meng went to look for you, and I couldn't stop them. And your brother, after you disappeared, he was simply a madman and almost attacked me..."
Gao Mengtang was speechless for a while: "I was only away for 12 hours."
"I will take part in the selection test for the Court of Justice tomorrow," Wei Wei said, "After I take the job, I will mediate and end the pursuit of you. You don't have to hide here and there, lack of food and clothing, and return to the city as soon as possible."
Gao Mengtang: "Our accommodation and food conditions are very good, don't worry."
"The conditions are good, but he still got food poisoning?" Wei Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Really!" Gao Mengtang propped himself up and sat up. "The living environment here is much better than Area 13. The food is good, too. There's no danger. The living conditions of the Axe Choppers are not as harsh as you think."
Wei Wei: "Wandering outside, how good can it be?"
Fearing that they would worry, Gao Mengtang decided to come clean: "To tell you the truth, I took a special medicine after the meal, which was incompatible with dietary fiber, and I am a vegetarian, so I was admitted to the hospital."
After listening to this, Wei Wei turned his head away and did not speak for a long time.
Just when Gao Mengtang thought he had gotten away with it, Wei Wei suddenly spoke up, "Jiacheng Jialong Hospital, right?"
The face was wrapped in white bandages, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were wide open in shock.
"It seems that I guessed right," Wei Wei's narrow eyebrows curved above the mask, and he smiled quite proudly.
Gao Mengtang did not look like a homeless person. The bandage on his face was new and white. If he was homeless and in danger, he would not dare to waste important medical supplies.
In the process of translating the literature, Wei Wei learned about the effects and precautions of 37604 blocker. It is currently the most common drug that counteracts dietary fiber. Gao Mengtang probably drank 04 blocker before entering the underground clinic.
The 04 blocker is expensive and needs to be kept in a dark and refrigerated place. At present, the Tongxin vine has not invaded, and taking the 04 blocker only plays a preventive role, which means that the Axe Cutter has a large stockpile, enough for dozens of people.
To store large amounts of 04 blockers, a few refrigerators are not enough, and a large cold storage is needed.
When wandering outside, you need a place to stay, which cannot be the wilderness, but the old city. In the old city, there are abandoned buildings with cold storage for storing medicine and beds for resting, and besides hotels, there are hospitals.
The most famous hospital in the old town is the Black Prince's private hospital. This hospital was built to high standards and has been abandoned for more than 10 years. Only Gia Long Hospital is likely to be used.
"I will notify your old brother and go to the Black Prince Hospital to find you." Wei Wei said.
Gao Mengtang protested weakly: "You can't let my brother come. It will be dangerous."
"If he can't find you again, I'll be the one in danger," Wei Wei put on sunglasses and covered his face tightly, "I'll ask him to bring a new phone. You can't cut off contact with us."
After he finished speaking, there was a sound of a door opening outside the room, and Wei Wei hurried out with the materials he had translated.
"Wait a minute," Gao Mengtang grabbed his hand, "You can't tell my brother that I'm sick."
Wei Wei: “Why?”
"He actually..." Gao Mengtang spoke with difficulty.
Wei Wei said softly, "You know, your brother is very smart. I may not be able to deceive him, but I will try my best."
The door was closed. Gao Mengtang leaned against the head of the bed helplessly, slowly slid into the quilt, and covered his face again.
My brother will definitely be angry.
Although Gao Geng dotes on him, the premise is that Gao Mengtang does not do anything excessive. When he first entered college, he could not resist the invitation of his classmates and was a little curious, so he went to a nightclub with two female classmates.
After playing until 11 o'clock in the evening, missing 20 calls and drinking two glasses of juice, Gao Geng rushed over, grabbed him by the back of the neck, dragged him out of the nightclub and threw him into the car.
In the following semester, Gao Geng checked his phone eight times a day. He sat next to Gao Mengtang in every class, with his arms folded across his chest, a cold face, and no words. His classmates were so scared that they dared not say a word to Gao Mengtang.
After the infusion, Gao Mengtang was fine. The next morning, he returned to Jialong Hospital.
While preparing for the parade next Monday, I listened attentively to the noise outside the building.
What is meant to come will come.
Halfway through lunch, the chess boy ran up to me excitedly: "Black Prince, your brother is downstairs. You have a brother, why didn't you tell us?"
The sour cabbage soup in my mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
"Um, really? Do I have a brother?" Gao Mengtang said hesitantly.
Others: ...Do you have a brother? Don’t you know?
Anyway, I don’t really want to have it now.
"Look, isn't that the Black Prince's brother? He's just downstairs." The chess boy lay on the windowsill and pointed in a direction.
Gao Mengtang plucked up his courage, poked his head out from the edge of the window frame and looked down.
The telepathy between brothers was extremely strong. As soon as Gao Mengtang opened his eyes, Gao Geng's cold gaze shot over and locked onto him accurately from a distance of more than 50 meters.
Gao Mengtang immediately retracted his head and ate a mouthful of mushroom pretending to be calm. Don't let Gao Geng come up? My brother will stay downstairs all night. This is too dangerous.
"Yes, he is my brother," Gao Mengtang coughed twice, "Chess boy, please invite him up."
The spiritual leader, the Black Prince, also has an elder brother, and everyone cheered and jumped for joy, assuming that Gao Geng was also a hero of iron will and fearlessness of power. Several people ran down and happily brought Gao Geng up.
As soon as the door was opened, the hinges creaked. The invisible force spread, and the scene suddenly became cold.
Gao Mengtang swallowed the mushroom, raised his head, and smiled calmly: "Brother, what a coincidence. Have you eaten it?"
Gao Geng's face was as cold as ice: "Come out, I have something to tell you."
"I'm eating."
"You eat. I'll wait for you." Gao Geng sat on a chair, his arms folded across his chest, staring at his brother without blinking.
The other people in the ward immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not right. The laughter and chatter turned into complete silence. They mechanically and quickly ate their meals and slipped out one after another.
"The old sheep is full!" The only remaining crazy old sheep stood up holding a large basin.
"No, eat more!" Gao Mengtang grabbed him, "Stay with me, don't leave in a hurry."
Crazy Old Sheep: "But Old Sheep..."
"Now that we're done, you can leave first." Gao Geng suddenly said, "My brother and I still have something to talk about."
Gao Mengtang held on to Crazy Old Yang's hand and refused to let go until Gao Geng covered his hand and gently, carefully, and forcefully pulled Gao Mengtang's fingers apart one by one.
"You can go now." Gao Geng said.
The crazy old sheep quickly retreated with the big basin.
There were only two people left in the room.
"Brother, where did you go last night?" Gao Geng asked calmly.
Gao Mengtang: "Well, I haven't finished my meal yet."
"Procrastination is useless to me. I am very patient with you." Gao Geng sat next to him, "You can eat slowly until the evening, and I can wait."
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Mengtang put down his chopsticks.
The metal arm pressed down on the back of Gao Mengtang's chair and rotated it ninety degrees, so that he and Gao Geng were facing each other.
"Why did you delete my friend?" Gao Geng asked.
Gao Mengtang: “…”
"Do you know how worried I am?"
Gao Mengtang sat up straighter and looked directly into Gao Geng's eyes: "I am the leader now. It is very likely that I am the twelfth wise king. I have my own judgment."
"Now that you have become the leader, the twelfth king, you no longer acknowledge your brother?"
The psychological defense that was built up with great difficulty collapsed in an instant. Gao Mengtang slumped his shoulders and looked away: "It's the twelfth wise king..."
Gao Geng: "Where did you go last night?"
"Sleeping in the hospital." Gao Mengtang said.
"Hospital, or underground clinic?"
"Of course..." Gao Mengtang was halfway through his words when he caught a glimpse of the rage burning in Gao Geng's eyes and changed his tone, "Wei Wei has told you everything."
"From today on, when you leave Jialong Hospital, you must either be accompanied by your brother or tell him in advance what time you will leave, what time you will come back, and where you will go. Is that okay?" Gao Geng asked. Although he was talking about negotiation, his tone was cold and hard, and there was no intention of negotiation at all.
Gao Mengtang was very unhappy: "I have a high status among the Axemen, why should I report to you?"
"OK?"
"……good."
Gao Geng took out a cell phone and threw it on the table: "Starting today, prepare a brief report every day and send it to Wei Wei about your situation. Don't let him worry."
"I rebuilt a system and implanted it into the phone. There is no need to worry about the chat records being leaked."
"I understand," Gao Mengtang thought more and more unconvinced, "I have won the highest honor of the Axe Cutter, and I am your superior. It's not that you accompany me, but I order you to follow me."
"As you command." Gao Geng readily followed suit, stretched out the metal arm, and rubbed Gao Mengtang's curly hair. "Are you feeling better now?"
Gao Mengtang muttered "almost" and opened the phone to look through it. The phone contained the contacts he had just deleted not long ago, and the wallpaper was a photo of Gao Geng and Gao Mengtang, with a carousel in the background.
Wei Wei wanted to be admitted to the Court of Justice, but the Axe Choppers were in opposition to the Court of Justice.
Asking him to send briefings to Wei Wei every day, isn't that forcing him to be a spy?
Forget it, don't take it seriously, it's just a game copy. Gao Mengtang shook his head and stopped thinking about this question.
*
Sakura Festival District. Courtroom.
"Candidate No. 11, please translate the passage given on the test paper."
Wei Wei was sitting in the interview room. More than a dozen courtroom staff members surrounded him on three sides, and all eyes were on him.
He made a quick draft, raised his head, glanced at An Ning casually, and began to answer the question:
"After the Black Tower game was officially launched, reality became the game field. Everyone is equal in the game, but reality is not. The reality that becomes the game field is still reality."
“Some people are brilliant, some are foolish; some are broad-minded, some are selfish; some are upright, some are despicable.”
Wei Wei made eye contact with each examiner, glanced at the draft leisurely, and continued to translate: "Noble people should be admired, and inferior people should be despised."
"...a player who hated evil with all his might, used the mastermind to restructure the game system and set up a six-class citizen system. He was called Long Live the King."
“Hopefully, the good will become the upper class and realize the rule of the philosopher king in The Republic. The wicked should be trapped in the mire and be judged in a place as dirty as their hearts.”
"After the idea of a citizen hierarchy was proposed, some people said it was arrogant, while others criticized it as inhumane."
"As humanity's strongest player, Banzai is determined to do what he wants. He believes that the lowly citizens are nothing more than 'the barbaric minds of livestock occupying human bodies'. They are not worthy of being called human beings at all."
“…”
"Going against the will of the Evil King I, the citizens are divided into classes. This road is difficult and may take 10 years. But Bansui will not give up. He has promised to bring the true virtuous king back to the world."
After completing the translation, Wei Wei put down the draft and breathed a sigh of relief.
The interview is over.
"Candidate No. 11, do you agree with Wansui's point of view?" An Ning suddenly asked.
For a few seconds, Wei Wei was very surprised. He had heard that the interview would only test a timed translation.
Maybe the exam rules have changed.
"I partially agree..." Wei Wei answered. In fact, he completely agreed with His Majesty's point of view. Good people are nobler than dirty people. What's the problem with this?
After using a lot of official language, he finished his answer.
An Ning asked again: "If you were His Majesty, would you insist on implementing the six-class citizen system, even if there was a lot of controversy and uproar?"
As soon as this question was asked, the other examiners looked at him sideways. Wei Wei probably guessed that the interview rules had not been changed, and it was An Ning who wanted to ask the question herself.
For a moment, Wei Wei couldn't figure out An Ning's thoughts.
But he knew that An Ning hated His Majesty, so he would probably be right to make the opposite choice to His Majesty's current choice.
"I will not implement the six-class citizen system," Wei Wei said, making up a reason that he himself did not believe, "The real difference between good and bad does not lie in the mandatory provisions of the law, but in the human heart. Noble people can gain the respect and love of others from the bottom of their hearts. This is their true badge."
What nonsense, respect and love "from the heart", Wei Wei thought, words are not enough, who can cut open the heart and pick out the respect and love inside.
If gratitude is useful, then what is the point of bonuses?
An Ning nodded approvingly: "Okay, candidate No. 11. Your answering is finished."
On Sunday afternoon, after the interview, assistants Wu Yang, Li Ren and other examiners compiled the score sheet and showed it to An Ning.
"I think candidate No. 11 is good," An Ning pulled out a test paper. "He got first place in the written test and the interview. Let's have him take the position tomorrow."
Li Ren: "Tomorrow? Next we have to review our identity and confirm our citizenship level..."
"I will take office tomorrow," An Ning said in a tone that brooked no refusal. "The library in the Court of Justice was bombed, and many books from other worlds were damaged. We urgently need people to repair them."
"But we have a complete admissions system," Li Ren's face flushed, "Those who pass the exam must undergo identity verification."
"We also have a chief judge," An Ning glanced at him, "She holds the highest decision-making and executive power in the region."
At 6pm, Wei Wei received a job offer letter with a form for him to fill in his identity information. He was surprised by how fast it was.
The contact person added him to the work group and also sent him a uniform from the translation department of the courtroom and a third-class citizen ID card. His name was Meng Fei.
That night, the minister frantically called on people to repair the damaged documents as soon as possible.
Wei Wei didn’t know whether he should go or not. How could he take an exam in the afternoon and work in the evening?
But his workaholic gene was awakened, if he didn't do it, the bonus would be taken away by others. He changed into a black uniform and used the third-class citizen's ID card to enter the Sakuraju District openly.
In a large collective office, employees hold books in one hand and flip through dictionaries with the other.
Zheng Yan, the head of the translation department, walked in with a pile of books.
"Hello, I'm Meng Fei, a new employee." said Wei Wei.
"Meng Fei?! The translator that Chief An has chosen to join the company as soon as possible?" Zheng Yan put down all the books in his arms with a bang. "Come with me quickly. We are short of manpower here. Chief An is quite considerate of us..."
Zheng Yan was still strong and walked briskly, leading Wei Wei to his desk: "Young man, do more work. It's not a big deal to work all night, you will recover after a good night's sleep. For this book, work hard all night and try to repair 10 pages."
Wei Wei: “Okay.”
I really wanted to ask about overtime pay, but I held back.
"New employees get 700 overtime pay for working all night." Zheng Yan turned around and shouted, "Go to the Finance Department tomorrow morning to collect it."
Not too much, not even as much as cleaning the sewers. Wei Wei tried hard to control his expression and not let his dissatisfaction show on his face.
Zheng Yan: "700 per hour, keep working hard!"
Wei Wei suddenly raised his head and smiled brightly: "I will try my best."
From 8pm to 1am, everyone else went out to have supper, but Wei Wei was still sitting at his workstation. His seniors passing by were amazed.
“The newcomers are so capable.”
"You are worthy of being chosen by Chief Judge An to join the position as soon as possible."
"The young are to be feared."
Wei Wei smiled at them and continued to work. He had the spirit of the second party. As long as the money was paid, everything would be easy to discuss.
In the office, most people went out to have a midnight snack, and some people even took a nap on their desks. Wei Wei, who was sitting in the corner, turned the pages of his dictionary more gently.
A hand knocked on Wei Wei's desk.
When I looked up, it was Li Ren.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Wei Wei asked.
"Meng Fei, right?" Li Ren fiddled with Wei Wei's ID card pinned on his left chest and lowered his voice, "Why did An Ning take care of you?"
Wei Wei restrained his smile and said nothing.
Li Ren adjusted his badge and said, "I'm the Director of Prevention and Control and Epidemic Prevention. Don't you even say hello when you see me?"
After a few seconds of silence, Wei Wei stood up and bowed: "Good evening, Chief."
Li Ren dragged a chair over and sat in front of Wei Wei: "Answer the question, why did An Ning take care of you?"
Wei Wei: "I don't know."
"What's with the sound?"
"Car accident." After answering this question, Wei Wei sat down again and continued to look up the dictionary.
Li Ren glared: "Who told you to sit?"
Wei Wei took a deep breath and adjusted his mood: "Director Li, you are the director of the Epidemic Prevention Department, and I work in the Translation Department. We are in different departments, and our views on the restoration of classics are also different. If you have any instructions on translation issues, please raise them. I will consider it as appropriate and improve my working methods."
Li Ren smiled coldly: "You're being tactful. You want to say that we are not in the same department and you want me to mind my business, right?"
"I don't mean that." Wei Wei said modestly.
That's what I mean, you're not that stupid.
"Do you know what my identity skill is?" Li Ren's voice was so soft that it seemed like a whisper. "A branch of the divination department, Murphy's Law."
Murphy's Law: If something can go wrong, it will go wrong.
"I have a feeling when I see those who 'might make mistakes'," Li Ren patted Wei Wei's head, "Meng Fei, the first time I saw you, I had a strong feeling that you would make mistakes."
Wei Wei: "When I do translation work, I will be more careful and cautious to avoid mistakes."
"Don't try to avoid the main point here! You know what I mean by making a mistake," Li Ren growled, "You will endanger the entire Court of Justice, District 13, and even the entire world."
"Be obedient, I will keep an eye on you." Li Ren patted Wei Wei's face, "Don't try to do anything under my nose."
After he left, Wei Wei finally showed a hint of disgust and continued with the repair work at hand.
Entering the courtroom with bad intentions? Of course. Wei Wei not only had to earn his own 250,000 yuan ticket money, but also had to help He Lun, He Yi, Bai Jie, Tu Cheng, and Lin Li and Xiao Cang Lan, who had not yet met, save money for their teammates who had limited earning power.
And Gao Mengtang, after he became a wanted criminal, he definitely couldn't buy a ticket with 250,000 yuan. He needed to have more connections.
All in all, it’s at least 2 million.
Even if he died of exhaustion working as a translator, he would not be able to earn that much money in a short period of time.
If you want to get rich, you have to take an unconventional path. You will definitely have to make trouble.
Li Renruo kept staring at him, which was very troublesome.
The first step was to find a way to deal with Li Ren. Wei Wei put this matter on his schedule and continued to repair the documents.
The phone screen suddenly lit up, and the contact's name was [Handsome man with long hair and white skin, Qinglan Restaurant]
People who don't know the truth might think that Wei Wei has a habit of having one-time love affairs. It is very helpful to hide his identity.
Gao Mengtang sent me a few pictures, a parade route map, and a list of key personnel.
"The opportunity has come..." Wei Wei smiled slightly, "Li Ren, compared to me, you are still a little young."
*
"I didn't do anything today!" Gao Mengtang felt a little aggrieved, "I just helped draw the posters for the parade!"
Gao Geng urged him to send daily reports to Wei Wei. Now, Gao Geng has also joined the Axe Man, codenamed [Heavy Metal]
He has no medal of honor and has no access to core affairs.
"Summarize the parade route map and the list of key personnel, and send them to Wei Wei." Gao Geng pulled his brother out of the bed.
Isn't this just making him a spy?
But Wei Wei is Gao Mengtang's teammate, and Axe Man is an NPC. Although they are very nice to Gao Mengtang...
After struggling for a while, Gao Mengtang finally compiled some information and sent it to Wei Wei.
Gao Mengtang is an axe-chopping man, and he is afraid of using the wrong weapon. Wei Wei will definitely not kill him, so the axe-chopping man will not suffer any substantial harm for the time being.
"Can I go to sleep now?" Gao Mengtang lay down in the quilt again with his back to his brother.
"Well, good night." Gao Geng said softly. He pulled out the charging cable built into the robotic arm and used the socket at the bedside to charge the arm.
Gao Mengtang became angrier and angrier as he thought about it: "Your arm is making noise while charging and I can't sleep. Please sleep in another room."
He was just having a temper tantrum. It was a very subtle hum, quieter than the sound of an air conditioner, and would not disturb his sleep.
However, after a while, the buzzing sound disappeared. But there was no sound of the plug being pulled out.
Gao Mengtang pricked up his ears for a while, then turned his head and saw that Gao Geng had wrapped the mechanical left arm with a blanket like a dumpling.
"How do you dissipate heat when charging like this?" Gao Mengtang asked.
"There's noise, it'll disturb you." Gao Geng stroked his brother's bangs, "Go to sleep. I'm really angry, I'll hit me in my dream."
Gao Mengtang: "Will it damage the circuit?"
"Won't."
"You're lying. I was just being unreasonable, but you took it seriously." Gao Mengtang tore off the blanket and threw it on the ground, then lay down facing her brother, her long eyelashes resting lightly on her lower eyelids.
Soon, the sound of long and deep breathing was heard.
Gao Geng also gradually fell asleep.
He suddenly remembered a conversation he heard during the Secret Keeper training.
A man in combat uniform, probably the instructor of the Secret Keeper, said loudly during the chat: "Isn't the Seventh Wise King being unreasonable? How can you be a twin of that thing when you are the Wise King and the Lord of the Moon?"
Another instructor replied, "It's not unreasonable. In a sense, they are indeed twins. They..." The instructor pointed to the sky, then to the ground, "and them, are all twins."
