Chapter 515
But what exactly is fate?
What kind of selection criteria is fate?
This point has never been made clear by the "True Immortal", so every newcomer entering the organization needs to be interviewed by "Him".
During this period, the "True Immortal" personally interviewed at least 150 newcomers, but only one-twentieth of them passed the interview with "Him", and the rest were directly eliminated.
As for why those people were eliminated, the "True Immortal" did not give any explanation.
So from the perspective of the organization, the "True Immortal" is extremely strict in selecting newcomers. Although there are not as many rules and regulations as the research institute, it is only more difficult to pass the interview of the "True Immortal" than to enter the research institute.
Because of this, Tuoke and Canary were so surprised when they heard Chen Jing say that he had passed the interview.
"You passed directly?" Tuoke didn't even have time to light the cigar in his mouth. He hugged Chen Jing with a dull expression and congratulated him in a daze, "You... don't have to take the assessment or anything?"
"What assessment?" Chen Jing was stunned.
"It means completing some 'trial' tasks, and then going to the 'True Immortal' for a second interview. At that time, the 'True Immortal' will give you some verbal rewards to cheer you up, and then conduct another round of task tests, and finally a third interview... Only after passing the interview can you join us."
"Fuck, so troublesome?" Chen Jing was stunned, thinking that Li Mobai is quite good at ordering people around. He kept doing these things, and those who don't want to join halfway have to consider the sunk cost.
Three consecutive interviews.
Before passing, you can't get anything, and at most you can get some verbal encouragement from the "True Immortal". What's the difference between this and making a big promise?
But think about it from another angle.
Li Mobai has his reasons for doing this. If he is really the omnipotent "True Immortal" in the eyes of these believers, then he doesn't need to be stingy when recruiting new people. If he shows off his wealth appropriately, more people will be willing to follow him, not less.
So why is he so stingy?
Either he has other purposes, or he really can't do it. Just giving him some benefits has almost squeezed him dry...
Li Mobai didn't say the specific reason, and Chen Jing didn't have the opportunity to ask now, but based on his feeling... it should be the latter.
The guy's body is still under Turing's house arrest. It is obviously impossible to use this consciousness backup to do whatever he wants.
If the movement is too loud, Turing will find it.
If the movement is too small...well, if you want to be safe, it should be the current situation.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and confirm it."
Canary didn't seem to believe Chen Jing's words. After all, there are only one or two newcomers who can pass the interview so easily like him in history.
"Go." Chen Jing smiled, put his hands in his pockets and walked to the side. Standing under the only street lamp outside the shack, looking at the sky that was gradually brightening, "Your 'True Immortal' is very optimistic about me."
"Optimistic about you?" Canary looked at Chen Jing suspiciously, then turned and walked towards the shack, intending to ask the "True Immortal".
As soon as Canary walked into the shack, Tuoke secretly patted Chen Jing on the shoulder.
"Brother, don't mind it." Tuoke said carefully, as if he was afraid that Canary in the house would hear it, "She has always been like this, too cautious, sometimes I want to say that she..."
"It's fine." Chen Jing smiled.
"Hey, don't be angry!"
Tuke hurriedly hugged Chen Jing's shoulders, and seemed to think that this underground hacker was angry because of this matter. After all, Canary's temper was quite annoying, so he hurriedly explained.
"She suffered a lot because of her carelessness in the past. Once she accidentally fell into the hands of the company, and they dismantled it and prepared to sell it. In the end, we were lucky and stopped the floating truck carrying the goods in time..."
"Brother, I'm really not as petty as you think." Chen Jing looked at Tuoke helplessly, and then pushed away his right hand on his shoulder, "I think in a place like Hanging City, being cautious is the real way to longevity, so her behavior is normal, of course I can understand it."
"It's good that you can understand it."
Jin Si Canary suddenly opened the door and walked out. She had heard the conversation between Chen Jing and Tuoke before, so she looked at Chen Jing deliberately as soon as she went out, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
"I asked, and the 'True Immortal' said that you are qualified to be exempted from the test. The next action against [Qinglong Palace] will be led by you."
"Okay, I have no objection."
Chen Jing smiled and looked up at the sky that was gradually brightening.
"Find me a quiet place, closer to [Qinglong Palace], I'm going to 'wander' to explore the way for you."
"I'll find the place you mentioned." Canary nodded, then extended her hand to Chen Jing, "From today on, we are family, [Daodaomen] welcomes you."
Chen Jing smiled and said nothing, shaking her hand.
"Well, I'll take care of you in the future."
Chapter 760 Mission Impossible in the Hanging City (Part 2)
"Disciple, you have successfully infiltrated the inner circle now, right?"
"Yes, Master."
"How many people are there in the entire organization of [Daodaomen]?"
"It's not clear yet..."
In a hotel that is geographically closest to [Qinglong Palace], Chen Jing sat alone in the bedroom of this suite, while Jin Si Canary stood guard outside the living room, not to monitor Chen Jing, but just to see if there was anything else he could do to help.
As for Tuoke and Mad Dog.
In the words of the research institute, the cause and effect were too heavy. They had made many enemies and creditors in the Hanging City. As long as they stepped into the main urban area or approached the territory of the research institute and large companies, they would easily be exposed and get into trouble.
Of course, in a more popular way, the two of them had too many criminal records. Even if they used the disguise methods given by the "True Immortal", it was difficult for them to guarantee that they would not expose their identities in the urban area.
In order to ensure that the plan could proceed smoothly, they always hid in the poor streets and alleys deep in the urban area, ready to meet Chen Jing and his men at any time.
This was the third hour after leaving the "shack".
In the "temporary base" that Canary and the others helped to find, Chen Jing said that he wanted to use hacker methods to investigate the situation of [Qinglong Palace]. If he could hack into their internal monitoring system, he might be able to dig out more valuable strategic information...
Yes.
At least that's what he said.
The reality is that he just started to daydream, and directly contacted Turing as a "traitor", and reported the situation to Turing "truthfully".
From fighting on the streets with the company's armed staff, to fleeing to the shack in the slums, and finally with the introduction of the "rebel", he went through "a lot of hardships" to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.
"So you mean... the boss of [Da Dao Men]... is an intelligent AI?" Turing asked in disbelief.
"I'm not sure either." Chen Jing used a skilled Spring and Autumn style of writing to explain to Turing, "I only saw a holographic figure, and heard it say that it was a 'true immortal', which was a bit similar to the things in our research association, but not quite the same."
"This matter may be more complicated than I thought."
Turing sighed helplessly, feeling indescribably depressed. Obviously, the situation was bad enough, and at the critical moment, this kind of trouble appeared in the rear of the Hanging City... But fortunately, the apprentice can still be trusted!
"You continue to lurk in [Daodaomen] and try not to be exposed." Turing gave instructions and said calmly, "I will assist you in secret. When you need my cooperation, you should contact me in time."
"Okay." Chen Jing agreed immediately, "The first task they assigned to me is the operation of [Qinglong Palace]. How are you preparing?"
"The notice of the performance report will be sent out in an hour, so let's do it tomorrow... I will ask the leaders of the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces to gather in my 'Lihentian'."
"Okay, then we will go to [Qinglong Palace] tomorrow." Chen Jing said.
"I just checked... almost half of the No. 1 warehouse of [Qinglong Palace] is empty..." Turing suddenly asked, "What exactly are they going to get from that warehouse?"
"I don't know either." Chen Jing pretended to be confused and said perfunctorily, "They didn't tell me the details of the mission, they just asked me to help them hack the outer defense system."
"In fact, I really want to move all the things in that warehouse away. I don't know why... I have a bad feeling." Turing sighed, "But after I move all those things away, will your mission fail?"
"Yes." Chen Jing replied.
"If we want you to completely penetrate the interior of [Dadaomen], it seems that we have to take some risks..."
In fact, Chen Jing knows everything.
For example, the goal of this operation.
That warehouse does store what "Li Mobai" needs. It can even be said that every action of [Dadaomen] is based on the urgent needs of "Li Mobai".
All of this.
It is directly related to the "meatball" that rolled out of the shrine.
"The Immortal Fetus is a new body I made for myself using biotechnology. Once it is made, my original body can be discarded, and Turing will never have the chance to threaten me with it again."
This is what Li Mobai said, and it is also the important reason why he secretly made trouble in the Hanging City. He needs a lot of "biological materials" from the research association. Only these materials that do not flow to the outside world can help him make a new body.
Like their goal of going to [Qinglong Palace] this time - [Ginseng Suspension].
This is what Li Mobai needs.
The reason why Chen Jing did not explain it to Turing was that he was afraid that this guy would do something secretly.
"Have you finished your 'divine journey'?"
At the same time that Chen Jing jumped off the bed, Canary also heard the sound and pushed the door in.
"How is the situation?"
"Not bad." Chen Jing smiled, "I have figured out the general route, and I have left marks for the network nodes that can be borrowed."
"As long as it goes well." Canary breathed a sigh of relief, and felt relieved when she heard Chen Jing's answer. "It's almost time, shall we go for dinner?"
"Okay, call Mad Dog Tuoke together, let's go get together... By the way, I have already set the time for the action."
Chen Jing's biological prosthetic eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but smile at the email sent by Turing Group to the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces in the mailbox.
"When will we start?" Canary asked hurriedly.
"Tomorrow."
Chen Jing turned his head to look at Canary, only to find that the girl seemed a little overwhelmed, as if she didn't expect to do the real work so soon.
"Are you not ready?"
"No...it's not." Canary shook her head, "I just didn't expect it to be so fast. I heard Tuoke and the others said before that this task might not be completed in less than ten days and a half, so we have to be patient and wait for the right time. "
"Yes, the right time." Chen Jing said with a smile, "It's tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jing pointed to his eyes.
"Just now, I intercepted a mass email sent by the management of the research association, saying that members of [Qinglong Palace] will go to 'Lihentian' tomorrow to give a report on their work. Isn't this the opportunity we have to wait for?"
"Real or false?" Canary's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Is the news you intercepted reliable? Will the members of [Qinglong Palace] really go to 'Lihentian' together tomorrow?"
"It's close to ten, it should be reliable." Chen Dingding nodded, "No matter what, we can't miss this opportunity. We will see the specific situation tomorrow. Let's go and say hello to Mad Dog and the others first. If everything goes well, we can do it tomorrow. Get this done!"
Chapter 761: Taoist Patrolman (Part 1)
"So the specific situation is this. We only have thirty minutes to use. Although during this period, the defense system of [Qinglong Palace] is still in normal operation, but compared to now... To be honest, our chances Much bigger.”
In the cyber virtual space, in a "safe house" without any captureable information, Chen Jing and Canary were having a final meeting before the operation.
This "dark chamber" built by Chen Jing is located deep in the virtual network. If you use the visual system in the "fugue" state to observe, all you can see is the strange and gorgeous neon code all over the sky.
The numbers in these neon codes formed their bodies, and the pink-purple halo passed through their limbs and bones, flowing freely like invisible water.
These translucent blurred figures were like ownerless ghosts in the virtual network. Even though Chen Jing couldn't remember how many times he had entered this digital space, he still felt that it was still so unreal.
It was as if this was an ancient god's dream.
All bizarre sights.
It's all just a dream of "Turing".
"Thirty minutes?" Mad Dog looked a little uneasy. Although he usually looked like a ruffian, as if he was not afraid of anything, but when it came time to do something big, he seemed more nervous than anyone else, "Are you sure? How reliable is this news?
"You have asked thirty-two times." Chen Jing said helplessly, "Brother, if you feel scared, let's just say it. At worst, we won't take you with us in this operation."
"Who the hell is scared!" Mad Dog retorted hastily, looking a little angry, "Who doesn't know about the mercenaries who are working in the Hanging City circle?! I am a well-known desperado!!"
"Then what are you afraid of?" Chen Jing asked.
"I'm not afraid!" Mad Dog retorted, still refusing to admit it, "I'm just excited!"
"Are you so excited that your frame dropped?" Chen Jing looked at Mad Dog's digital body that kept flickering, and said to himself that this guy's mood seems to be unstable, and it is extremely difficult to maintain a "fugue" state.
"Calm down!" Tuoke's digital body was also flashing. Obviously his mood was the same as Mad Dog's, but not as obvious as Mad Dog's. "Isn't it just a [Qinglong Palace]! We are not even afraid of the company return……"
"Are you saying the opposite?"
Mad Dog sighed, as if he was no longer prepared to hold on, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"To be honest, we have been in the industry for so many years, and we have done a lot of hard work with our heads in our waistbands. We can be regarded as 'outlaws' in ordinary people's perception, but this... this is a fucking institute! One of the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Palaces!”
