Chapter 512 The Hidden Answer
Since Eluklu took over the fight against and search for the "mysterious organization", Alanna and others seemed to have lost their use and were gradually ignored by both sides.
"It's good this way. I feel scared just talking to such a big shot." In the new secret base of the "Z" group, Gern expressed his opinion.
In addition to him, there are more than a dozen old and backbone members of the "Z" group. Some of them have just returned. Because of the recent events, their current status in the "Z" group is obviously not as good as Gern and Soga, who have been with Alanna.
Alanna is not here today. She is dealing with the problems of her music entertainment company and preparing to leave it.
Because they have just returned, some people's identities are still very awkward. At this time, they didn't say much. Soga didn't care. He took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and threw it to them one by one.
"It's rare for everyone to get together again. Relax first." She opened a can herself and took a sip.
"Thank you, Sister Soga." One of the young people took it.
"Oh, I like this name." Soga leaned on the sofa and raised his finger to him, indicating that he was very sensible, which attracted a burst of laughter from the people around him.
"This time, it was really a bit embarrassing." One of the old members took the beer and said with shame.
"Yes, hey, when I think about it, I wish I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into."
During this period, many people also talked about their previous experiences and expressed their apologies to the organization.
"Okay, don't be embarrassed for now, there are still many things to do next." Gern stopped the current topic.
"Before the eldest lady left, she said that the organization must be strictly rectified in the future. It can't be as loose and messy as before. From now on, without her permission, new members cannot be spread at will. The current members must also keep the existence of the "connector" secret from the outside world and cannot use this power easily."
Thinking of what happened recently, many people present were still frightened and nodded one after another. No one objected at this time.
On the other hand, the orc elites under Elklu also followed the clues of the previous "Seven Sages Council" and constantly tracked down its organizational traces on the Internet and in reality. Such actions naturally aroused the vigilance of the "Seven Sages Council".
In the internal meeting space, the six people gathered again.
Long-handed monkey talked about the intelligence gathered by his subordinates and various peripheral organizations recently, "The cat-eared singer is trying her best to find us. Judging from the information they revealed and conveyed on the Internet, it seems that she doesn't just want to get rid of us, but wants to start contact and negotiation."
"It seems that her idea is not simple." The old skeleton pondered for a while.
"Should we pretend not to know and directly cut off the traces and contacts, or?"
Blue Bird Mask pressed his fingers on the table, "Of course, take over the contact and see what she wants to say."
For this decision, "Puppet Bear" and "Red Scimitar" have always followed the opinions of Blue Bird Mask. Long-handed monkey is a fence-sitter and doesn't care. Although the old skeleton is willing to oppose, he also knows that he can't change the decision, so he remains silent. As for "Silver Blue Work", as the core member with the least experience in the organization, he has never had much say.
So, a few days later, in an encrypted channel after countless jump boards, Elklu finally contacted this mysterious organization.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really troublesome. It's so hard to say a word." She touched her chin.
"The other party is very cautious. We can't trace their source location on the network." Several elite orc hackers beside her answered.
"It was expected. If they were really so easy to be caught, they would have been dealt with by the Inquisition long ago." She didn't care.
"Tell them that I want to cooperate with them. In simple terms, I want them to help me in the future, and I, as a singer, will give them a certain amount of political asylum." As a rare orc singer, Elklu has a great influence on the orc councilors.
Although they were doubtful about Elklu's decision, the hacker elites present did not dare to neglect it. They encrypted and transcoded the information and sent it to the other party.
On the other side, in the hall of the Seven Sages Council.
"Sure enough, just as I expected, she is really a young and impulsive singer." Bluebird Mask looked at the encrypted information translated on the screen and tapped the table with his long nails.
"Should we agree or decline?" the ragdoll bear asked.
"Of course, we should lead her step by step." The voice of the bluebird mask was neither hurried nor fast. She was not as flustered and uneasy as other members of the organization when facing an opponent like the singer.
"Don't agree or refuse directly. Just say that this kind of thing is too sudden. We can't be sure whether they are sincere. We need to build trust through small cooperation step by step."
"What should we do after that? I don't think this cat-eared singer is a patient person." The old skeleton asked.
"There is no after that. She thinks too simply and despises us too much." The bluebird mask shook his head.
"Besides, even if we want to find a singer to cooperate in the future, we can't choose Elklu. As an ally, her personality is too casual and unstable, like a time bomb."
"As I said before, I will use other means to deal with her. All you have to do is to keep calm first."
The people present were a little curious about the other means mentioned by the bluebird mask, but they also knew that this bluebird mask represented some official power and could not tell them the truth. Then they chose to shut up one after another.
After the meeting, the six people dispersed, but in another secret network space, 'Silver Blue Work' found 'Old Skeleton'.
"You came to me now, you must want to ask me questions, right." The old skeleton guessed 'Silver Blue Work's' thoughts at a glance.
"Yes, senior." The gears in the silver mechanical puppet rotated, and slowly moved in front of him.
"Ask."
"That 'Bluebird Mask'--" She was interrupted by the other party before she finished speaking.
"Don't ask me who she is. I can only say that she must have a certain power in the Central Council, which allows the official to use our technology and accept our suggestions in the construction of the basic channel of the Aijieka network. This is a mutually beneficial trust relationship. The official has optimized the efficiency of the network and solved many minor problems. And because we have mastered these core underlying codes, it is easier to conceal our existence on the Internet."
"Do you know why 'Ragdoll Bear' always follows her and agrees with her? It's because of the invisible identity and power she reveals."
"As for 'Red Scimitar', he knows almost nothing about technology, but behind him is an alliance of many gray-field organizations. They use hidden network platforms to do many bounty missions and seek profits. As long as you can bring him shelter, he will stand up for you."
"Just like his nickname, it's a dangerous knife, but as long as you are strong enough, you can hold it and use it for your own benefit."
"Now, it's obvious that the cat-eared singer wants to do the same thing as 'Bluebird Mask' and replace her ecological niche in the organization. This competition has nothing to do with us. We just have to worry about whether their fight with each other may affect ourselves and cause all kinds of trouble."
"I didn't agree to contact the cat-eared singer before because I expected that certain topics would be difficult to cut off once they were started."
"They don't understand at all." After saying that, the 'Old Skeleton' leaned on the skeleton throne and looked thoughtful.
"We were very cautious before because to maintain control over the 'Connector', we had to avoid the attention of the 'Tribunal', otherwise they would find traces."
"But now, since the control of the 'Connector' has failed, we should act decisively, abandon the previous peripheral puppets, deal with the traces, cut off the clues that may be found by the pursuit, and try our best to reduce the losses."
"But some people in the organization still think they can control the situation. Not only did they not act decisively, but they also tried to contact the cat-eared singer. This is completely a way to cause chaos." He sighed.
"Didn't Madam 'Blue Bird Mask' say that there is a way to stop the cat-eared singer?" Silver Blue Work finally spoke.
"Do you completely believe her when she said there is a way?" The old skeleton disagreed.
"That guy 'Puppet Bear' is completely confused by the other party's official identity and follows her unconditionally, like a dog." It's rare for this old skeleton to curse so directly.
"The purpose of the establishment of the 'Seven Sages' Council is to hide in the dark, not get involved in any open conflicts of power, not show any threat, and maintain a stable living space, so that the official power will ignore us."
"The series of actions of 'Bluebird Mask' will make outsiders think that we are very strong. Such a force that is independent of the official will only make the upper class feel irritated and uncomfortable."
"They are playing with fire, and they all think they are smart." After saying this, he fell silent.
Just as Silver and Blue Work was thinking and confused about this complex relationship, the old skeleton suddenly stood up.
"No." He began to walk back and forth.
"'Bluebird Mask' will not be so stupid." He began to reflect.
"She has been in the organization for nearly seventy years. I have never seen her indulge in fighting or fall into a low-level emotional state. She is also a meticulous person."
"She cannot fail to see that getting entangled with the cat-eared singer will only do us harm and no good. Even if we win in the end, it doesn't matter. Rashly offending a singer will attract more attention and will not benefit us at all."
"Why didn't she just give up control and get out of the sight of the Inquisition as soon as possible when Heshia Tilan approached the 'Connector' organization, but instead asked us to contain Alana again and again, saying that she had a way to deal with the singer."
"Yes, she may have a way to hold back the singer, but then, if you think about it carefully, you will find that she can't hold back the young singer forever. If Alana dies or has an accident in the middle of the process, the young singer will launch an investigation and attract official attention."
"It was wrong from the beginning. When Heshia followed Soga back to the small garage base that day, all actions should have ended, because we can't kill the singer and cut off the eyes of the Inquisition, and we are destined to be exposed over time."
"Why does she want to guide the organization to continue interfering again and again? This is completely contrary to the original intention of the organization, unless--" The old skeleton's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Unless, she has long wanted to use this to observe and test the young singers, and she doesn't care about the existence and safety of the organization."
"Do you remember, before we discovered the "Connector" organization, she asked us to pay attention to finding the growth experience and information of the young generation of singers, and I asked you to be careful to avoid the eyes of the Inquisition."
"Remember, senior." Silver Blue Work nodded.
"She never mentioned it again, and our attention shifted to the 'Connector', so the matter was put aside."
"Why does she always know so much about things related to the diva!?"
"Why doesn't she feel fear and dread of the identity of a diva like us!"
"Why can she, as a representative of the official forces, make all kinds of decisions on her own without consulting anyone behind her!?"
"Why is she so confident that she can control that new generation of diva!?"
"There is only one answer."
"'Bluebird Mask', she herself is a diva with a very high qualification!!"
When the old skeleton said this answer, both of them fell into a long shock and silence.
After a long time, the old skeleton came to his senses, paused the bone staff in his hand, and looked at the 'Silver Blue Work' beside him.
"Don't tell anyone about what I just said. From now on, your actions within the organization should remain the same and don't show any signs of abnormality."
"From now on, if there is anything related to the singer, you should try to remain silent within the organization and not express any attitude."
"I understand, senior." The joints of the mechanical puppet turned, making it bow and salute.
The old skeleton looked into the distance with its empty eye sockets, as if it was lost in some distant memory.
"As the founder of the organization, old friend, you probably knew the true identity of 'Blue Bird Mask' from the beginning."
"No wonder you gave her the leadership position of the organization when you left. I was afraid that no one else could sit firmly except her."
"You obviously don't know any network technology, but you sit in the core position of a network organization like the 'Council of Seven Sages'. No wonder the organization has been operating for so many years without being strictly suppressed by the Inquisition. I'm afraid you have already registered with them."
"The members of the organization planted by 'Blue Bird Mask' may not include people from the Inquisition. If so, then from the beginning, what we are worried about does not exist. It is just an invisible framework to restrain ourselves. We dare not act rashly, and this happens to be what they want."
The organizational beliefs and purpose that have been upheld for a long time collapsed completely in an instant. All those years of cautiousness, careful planning and arrangements were like a mouse dancing in the palm of someone else's hand without knowing it.
As the oldest core member of the organization besides Gray Fangyan, Old Skeleton has never been so disheartened. He once believed in technology and thought that he and other members, through technical strength and planning, had opened up their own world outside the official field of the Federation, but he did not expect that he still could not jump out of this framework.
Everything was just in vain.
Yes, with so many elites, peerless geniuses selected from a trillion people, how could the upper core of the Federation, who are composed of these characters, allow such a large empty unknown area of the Aijiaka network?
The dissemination of information is so important. The singers spread their influence to various groups through the Internet. How could they allow such a field to be out of official control?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He felt as if he had been dreaming for all these years.
But now, he was awake.
