Chapter 74 Killer Simulator
Ji Xu has always known that researchers have the habit of giving code names to their experimental subjects. Selecting a unique name that is full of effort from countless names is the first step for the experimental subject to face the world, such as the former "Blue Rose" and the current "Saimu".
For those who don’t know Greek mythology, Adonis is an unfamiliar god. Even though Aphrodite, one of the main gods, fell in love with him, in the stories where he appeared, beauty was often more important than anything else. Adonis’s life ended abruptly because of love at first sight by the gods. He died of jealousy and was resurrected with love. Many people also like to use Adonis’ name to praise the charm of others.
After the content of the promotional meeting spread on the Internet, netizens spontaneously searched for information about Adonis, believing that the Qitong Group was bragging about the beauty of the oasis, because the host's humorous commentary was mostly mocking the researchers' vision in a good-natured way. Only the forum was filled with a bleak future, and people wanted to have a face-to-face fight with the researchers - if you have the ability, don't use spiritual weapons, because no one wants to be killed by the green belt while walking.
But in the eyes of insiders, what the researchers valued was Adonis' experience. They gave the experimental site the title of God of Spring Plants because the oasis is always in lush spring, secretly praising themselves for transforming the desert into a paradise of resurrection. They don't care that people call the plants ghosts after the transformation, because beauty is just the icing on the cake, an optional embellishment. What is worthy of pride is the deadly murderous intent hidden beneath the ordinariness.
If possible, Ji Xu would like to see their research site. He is more enthusiastic about growing flowers and plants than most of his peers. If the plants had not been modified too outrageously, he and the Qitong Group should have a lot of common topics.
In the days since leaving Crow Island, Ji Xu has been traveling between different cities with a fake identity to deal with the clients who have escaped from the order list. Information about Adonis has been continuously transmitted to his mobile phone. Thanks to No. 8's massive hype, codename C has become a hot figure on the dark web in just half a month. Colleagues who received Ji Xu's message were happy to help him. With the enthusiastic recommendation of the young man in the jacket, he found some tight-lipped colleagues to place commissions, saving a lot of time.
The number of orders for desert trips increased inexplicably. In order to avoid attracting attention, several colleagues who were willing to show goodwill promoted the travel agency's promotional video on the Internet. Desert travel became a new trend, and even the Qitong Group did not realize that the hidden storm was directed at them.
Ji Xu was sandwiched among the excited passengers, like an ordinary hiker, low-key and inconspicuous. He wore a windbreaker, a baseball cap and a shoulder bag, and looked for his seat by checking the ticket information.
He messaged the bartender: "Has the herbicide I requested arrived yet?"
"We bought a retired rescue plane in the nearby Gobi Desert, and it's ready to take off at any time." The bartender responded very quickly. The money Ji Xu spent on props made him a lot of money. He wanted to move to the city where Ji Xu went. He vowed to his big client: "I will drive there myself and never let anyone know you are in the desert."
Ji Xu said: "Wait for my location notification."
The flight attendant came out to remind others to fasten their seat belts. Ji Xu put down his phone. The passenger next to him seemed to be a traveler who was attracted by the colorful world on the Internet. He was feeling anxious on the spot and searched for guide videos. As he was watching, he unconsciously saw related news.
Ji Xu had no intention of peeping, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar person when he took off the blindfold.
The former client who had commissioned Ji Xu stood in the bright sun and talked freely, with the background of the Gobi city mentioned by the bartender and countless passengers dragging suitcases. Since the death of the executive, other technology companies on Crow Island have become more active. Liujing Technology didn't know that its head had thought of changing jobs, but after a lot of twists and turns, it still got in touch with Ultra Brain Research. The neurotechnology that had been shelved for many days reappeared, and the former client squeezed out Fan Nian to become the new head, and took advantage of the travel craze to announce to everyone that the neural chip can withstand high temperatures.
No one paid any attention to him, and the video was quickly scrolled away by the passenger next to him. He then found a travel vlog to watch it again.
Ji Xu was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect to see a familiar person in a familiar place. All of a sudden, the idea of catching up on sleep disappeared. He thought that there was still a target that had not been found in the commission column that was about to be cleared. His interest in work was rekindled, and he began to search for information about the breeder of the Citong Group.
This is a new profession and there is almost no news about it from the outside world. Ji Xu also doesn't know where the breeder is hiding. He is much more cautious than his supervisor. Ji Xu thought about it and posted on the forum.
c: "Does anyone know where the breeders of the Citong Group are usually located?"
His first public appearance really aroused the curiosity of many people. Just as No. 8 said, the popularity of the code name is also a resource, and soon someone explained it for free below.
"I've heard of this profession. It seems that the Citong Group is planning to throw some unwilling employees into the experimental field to take care of the ghosts. After working together day and night, many people have withdrawn their resignations because they can become researchers again after passing the review and don't have to worry about dying from work-related injuries. If you are sure that person has no intention of returning to the Citong Group, I suggest you go to the underground level to look for him. It has been rumored that their research field is underground."
After the man finished explaining, he curiously asked Ji Xu: "How is your order clearing going?"
Great, now the whole forum knows that he is clearing the order column.
Ji Xu answered him in a polite way: "This is the only one left."
"..." The other party was shocked by his speed and sent a congratulatory message after a while, "Wait for your good news."
Ji Xu did not lie. He did not claim the three mission targets given by the simulator on the forum. Only a few people knew that he was still paying attention to the Citong Group and the Zijin Casino. Those people were good at speaking and never leaked the news. As a result, even if many people knew that the executive was dead, they did not associate it with the bosses of the other two industries.
The news he released now misled everyone - Ji Xu planned to focus on the breeders and concentrate on clearing the commissions. This made his journey to the artificial oasis Adonis particularly smooth. If there was any tension, it would be the group headquarters far away in the city. Ji Xu stood far away on the sand dune and observed with a telescope.
A thousand meters away from him, the man-made oasis of Adonis was peaceful.
Ji Xu turned on his personal locator. Ten minutes later, the familiar sound of blades was heard. The bartender drove down in the rescue helicopter he had just bought. He gave the driver's seat to Ji Xu and said regretfully, "It's a pity that there are too few dark clouds here. Otherwise, you could have directly mixed the herbicide into the artificial rain shells and saved a lot of trouble."
Ji Xu told him, "No matter how much you promote it, I won't spend money on it. The Citong Group will not let uncontrolled natural factors affect the development of the oasis. It looks open-air now, but it may not be after the rain. Moreover, such an important site must have ultraviolet and rain detection devices. If it is too high, it will be blocked, and if it is too low, it will be replenished. It will enjoy better treatment than precious flowers and plants."
The bartender was silent for half a second, then asked incredulously, "Then why are you asking me for a life-killing herbicide?"
Even if the lethal herbicide can kill most of the plants, wouldn't it be useless if the other side turns on the protective device to isolate them from any external interference?
Ji Xu gave him a strange look, then stepped on the accelerator and took off. "It's just that I can't spray it outdoors. I can just drive in. With such a big helicopter flying overhead, how can I have time to do something bad secretly? Even a fool knows that I am up to no good."
The bartender was choked by him: "..."
So you're planning to just break in, right? You're just like me, always doing assassinations so openly.
