Chapter 175: Mentality Is About to Collapse! The Taboo of Being Interrupted Repeatedly

"The minister is in such a hurry, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"He will tell you the details in person."

Mo Sheng smiled and replied: "It's mainly because you have been in the dungeon for too long, three days! I was worried about you. Generally, if you have been in the dungeon for more than 24 hours, you will be included in the risk group of "missing". Fortunately, you are safe and sound."

It turned out that he was concerned about me. The three-day and two-night dungeon cycle of "Children's Paradise" made the leader start to worry about the safety of his trusted subordinates... Jiang Qian guessed secretly.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the door of Ji Ming's office. Mo Sheng knocked on the door and let Jiang Qian in.

Ji Ming was on the phone in front of the window.

He was still wearing the eye-catching red suit, and his light golden hair made him look out of place in the current serious and solemn scene.

Hearing the movement, his cold face turned around, and his eyes flashed a ripple when he caught the moment when Jiang Qian entered the door.

"I'll call you later."

Ji Ming hung up the phone and turned to Jiang Qian: "What happened? Why did you stay in the dungeon for so long?"

The tone and demeanor made it seem as if Jiang Qian had become his most urgent task at the moment.

"It's a bit special indeed. I entered an unsolvable dungeon..." Jiang Qian was about to continue.

Ji Ming's face was slightly confused: "Another one collapsed?"

You used the word "again"... Jiang Qian showed a little embarrassment and nodded reluctantly.

"Sit down and tell me, name and code?"

"SXM0111 "Children's Playground". "Jiang Qian answered smoothly.

When Ji Ming heard this, his slightly confused expression gradually turned into surprise, and he whispered and repeated: "Children's Playground..."

As the director of the Operations Department who had been promoted to a powerful position for a long time, Ji Ming paid limited attention to low-level copies, but the name "Children's Playground" still triggered some inside stories and secrets that only he would know:

Official elites who have been trapped in these years, evil people who have been locked in, and there is also information that a mysterious organization in the West is using this copy as a "cage" to imprison dissidents through witchcraft...

To sum up: extremely dangerous, complex, and unsolvable for many years!

And Jiang Qian claimed to have come out of the "Children's Playground" copy?

This made Ji Ming, who had just sat down, lean forward, concentrate his mind and hold his breath, and prepare to continue to learn more.

However, the hung up phone rang again.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

"Ring, ring, ring~"

Ji Ming picked up the phone expressionlessly, glanced at it, hesitated for two seconds, and answered it in front of Jiang Qian: "Teacher Bai?"

The call came from Bai Xiaoxi, the spokesperson of the Information Intelligence Department of the headquarters.

After listening for a long time, the reply was unusually concise:

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

Ji Ming hung up the phone pretending to be calm, and looked at Jiang Qian again:

"Tell me in detail about the process you have experienced, including the people you have met. The intelligence officer of the headquarters may contact you in the near future to verify some situations..."

Just when he said this, Ji Ming's phone rang again!

"Ring, ring, ring~"

"Ring, ring, ring~"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Not only Ji Ming, but even Jiang Qian felt that it was a bit too much: What's going on? How can you interrupt the minister's speech one after another?

Ji Ming picked up the phone, glanced coldly, and answered: "Teacher Wuxin?"

Lu Fanni's superior, the organizational culture expert "Master Wuxin" called Ji Ming from Beijing to communicate his intention to shape his subordinate Qianlong Wuyong into the official cultural spokesperson of the license holder.

After hearing the reason, Ji Ming was silent.

This kind of demand from the headquarters is usually difficult to refuse as long as the procedures are in compliance.

Otherwise, the next call will not be to ask you, the minister, or the head of the Jinping Special Affairs Center will take the initiative to delegate tasks to the Minister of the Operations Department to cooperate with the organizational culture propaganda needs of the headquarters.

This communication took longer than just now.

"Okay, I'll ask for my opinion and give you a reply as soon as possible."

Ji Ming patiently hung up the phone.

"You can continue, you..."

"Ring ring ring~"

"..."

Minister Ji sighed!

Standing up, holding the phone and walking to the window. This time the call is from within the Predator Family.

The number of trapped people coming out of the "Children's Paradise" this time is large and complex, so the news spreads very quickly!

The family's meaning is also very clear, hoping that he will speed up the assessment and recruitment of Jiang Qian.

"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"

After hanging up the phone again, Ji Ming decisively pressed the edge key to turn off the phone!

When he sat down again, his momentum was completely different from when Jiang Qian just came in, and he was even a little irritable.

"No one will disturb you now, go ahead!"

...

In the underground casino in Jintian City.

Lin Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes in the secret room and breathed rapidly!

In his excitement, he fell off the bed with a "thump" and fell to the ground.

He was defeated miserably in the game of hide-and-seek and suffered inhuman torture, which made it very difficult for him to even stand up and walk!

But even so, Lin Zhuo still tried to reach out to his chest, and when he touched his real chest and muscles and felt the organs beating rapidly in his chest, his emotions gradually stabilized.

"Hahahahaha..." He was proud from the bottom of his heart: I bet right.

I'm still alive!

Although, my freedom may be gone for the time being.

"Hidden dragon, don't use it..."

Lin Zhuo struggled to get up from the ground and recalled the transaction process between Jiang Qian and himself at the end of the hide-and-seek game in "Children's Playground".

…

“Actually, you have another choice.”

Jiang Qian approached Lin Zhuo and persuaded him in a voice that only they could hear:

“Become my informant, you have a chance to return to the real world. If you perform well enough, I will give you a chance to be free.”

“Otherwise, I will use your heart in exchange for a perfect clearance, but you will probably have to bear an irreversible price.”

Lin Zhuo was completely desperate: “It’s the same loss of freedom.”

“It’s different.”

Jiang Qian calmly took out the purple gold gourd. The appearance of this item made Lin Zhuo’s eyes surge again!

Then, Jiang Qian's words made him even more surprised:

"I need someone like you to get some intelligence about secret organizations for me. The service period is tentatively set at three years. During these three years, you can provide me with intelligence and you can also take the initiative to ask me for help. I will handle it as appropriate."

"If you do well, I will return your freedom after three years. This is the general intention. When signing the contract, it will be more detailed: what you can do and what you can't do, strictly follow my requirements."

Lin Zhuo was very surprised!

Three years...

If you put it in a lifetime, three years is just a flash, passing by. Even if the survival rules in the super-species world are relatively cruel.

He thought Jiang Qian would grab his weakness and force him to make the contract more stringent. As a result, the other party's conditions only included three years of intelligence transactions, and it was "give and take".

So when Jiang Qian finished talking about the conditions, he subconsciously followed with a sentence: "Really?"

"The contract props are here, I can't default on it."

So the deal was reached.

There was that scene, he was dragged into the darkness by Jiang Qian and tortured all night, and the operation of the "process" was shielded by an invisible cloak.

In fact, after Jiang Qian completed the contract with Lin Zhuo, he struck while the iron was hot and learned a lot about the structure, people, and various common sense of the secret organization from the other party.

This is fundamentally different from what was learned from the official: the difference in perspective.

According to Lin Zhuo, even in an organization like the Black Alliance, the number of mutants is not very high, half and half!

Even some people in high positions are not only not mutants, but also have a very low risk of mutation. However, they can use the banner of the "mutant organization" to make mutants serve their own purposes.

"Since there is no mutation, why stay in such an organization?" Jiang Qian asked at the time.

"Because of stains. Once a person has stains, it is difficult to be accepted by mainstream values, and I am the kind of person who is unwilling to be mediocre."

Lin Zhuo did not hide this.

After the "contract", he must obey the contractual relationship, and the information provided to Jiang Qian can only be the information that he has repeatedly confirmed and recognized as true.

At that time, Jiang Qian listened to his explanation calmly and did not make any comments on it.

During the whole communication process, Jiang Qian asked and he answered; Jiang Qian was like a receiver, not refuting or judging, just receiving ideas from another perspective.

Of course, after this process, the torture process was not saved at all!

The tricks were all done to deceive people, after all, there was a "spectator group".

...

Lin Zhuo took out the pills from the locker with difficulty.

After a short breath, he finally succeeded... to stand up.

After changing clothes, he walked out of the secret room and came to the front desk filled with smoke, examining the list of today's customers.

According to the agreement, he needs to provide valuable information to Jiang Qian regularly, and the price is negotiable.

He is now thinking about which "big fish" to be the first to surrender to the official?

Yes, he is ready to seriously fulfill the contract with Jiang Qian.

If the contract was not for "three years" but for "ten years", "twenty years" or longer, then he might consider a plan to use counter-espionage and false information to hunt down Jiang Qian.

If the contract is betrayed, the Purple Gold Gourd can claim the life, but the premise is that the holder has the life to claim it!

However, considering that the contract with Jiang Qian is not so harsh that it is unbearable, and the time limit is only three years, he feels that there is no need to continue to commit suicide and take such uncontrollable risks.

After all, he just tasted the bad consequences of hunting the other party and making things worse in the dungeon.

Lin Zhuo temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​having evil thoughts.

...

In the minister's office.

Ji Ming listened carefully to Jiang Qian's description of the clearance process of the "Children's Paradise" dungeon, and his eyes fluctuated from time to time.

He knew Jiang Qian's ability to a certain extent, but it was not enough for him to pay enough attention to him, or even to attach importance to him. Even though the other party was a talent valued by the Predator Family.

This had nothing to do with arrogance, but the gap in level was there.

Even though Jiang Qian had passed "Whisper of the Heart Devil" and "Trump Card", even though he made an emergency rescue in the Black Alliance Operation.

He could attribute that to: a mixture of talent and luck.

But now, facing the treacherous and complex elimination mechanism of "Children's Playground", a test of human nature that can be said to be heartbreaking, it is indeed difficult to explain the result with "a mixture of luck".

Of course, Jiang Qian did not mention the last multiple-choice question and the "special reward" given to him by the female headmaster.

"How much is the experience value?"

At the end of the story, Ji Ming asked.

"100%!" Jiang Qian said frankly, "Minister, I am already a three-state fusion body."

Ji Ming was slightly startled, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

Indeed, given the nature and difficulty of "Children's Paradise", it is reasonable to obtain super high experience to meet the evolution conditions.

He then turned over his palm, and a transparent dagger appeared in his palm. It was a contract item:

"In this case, let's talk about your ability again. As your superior, I need to update my understanding of your ability."

"Of course, but..."

Seeing the dagger, Jiang Qian thought of another important matter to report: "Minister, I received an informant in the dungeon."

Jiming remained calm and waited for him to continue.

"This person's ID name is Lin Zhuo. He was once a subordinate of the Night Owl of the Jintian City branch of the Black Alliance. He has been recruited into the Ashes Organization and has become the person in charge of the organization's peripheral underground trading venues."

"In the brief contact, he gave me the impression of being insidious, cautious, jealous, and cherishing his life. His main ability is to rely on toxins to confuse people and use them for his own benefit. He can complete physical and mental hypnosis under certain conditions, making the other party obedient and willing to die."

"Although this person has bad intentions and is somewhat dangerous, I have the right props and a certain degree of confidence to make him play a role."

"Most of the people he contacts on a daily basis are related to the Ashes Organization. At present, the progress of the task force is slow. I think that one more path means one more possibility. Extraordinary people should be used for extraordinary matters. What do you think, Minister?"

Jiang Qian finished speaking frankly and looked at Ji Ming with an inquiring look.

In this matter, asking for the opinions of superiors and letting them know is a protective measure for himself. Moreover, there will be funding issues in the future, and he does not intend to bear this expense privately.

"Well, it's OK."

Ji Ming thought for a moment and agreed with Jiang Qian's plan:

"You can apply for internal procedures for the reward of trading intelligence. Report any abnormal behavior of the other party to me."

"Okay, thank you, Minister!"

Coming out of Ji Ming's office, it was already late outside.

Jiang Qian reviewed the content of the communication with Ji Ming just now, and most of it was still honest. Unless it was an ability like "compatibility power" that he himself had not even touched.

After experiencing the "Children's Paradise" copy, Jiang Qian did see the difference between the official group of license holders and the essential differences between casual cultivators and evil cultivators.

Higher comprehensive quality, relatively firm willpower, more stable behavior patterns, and a clear bottom line for being a person and doing things.

In layman's terms: they have face!

Obviously, such people are more reliable as partners.

And people like Lin Zhuo need to rely on powerful props and more calculations of human nature to firmly control.

But now I just want to go home and have a good sleep... Jiang Qian yawned as he passed his workstation.

Suddenly, he paused.

"The automatic sending time of the email seems to be set to... three days?"

That's right, he wasted three days and two nights in the "Children's Paradise": the first night was in the dormitory, and the second night was the night of hide-and-seek... So tonight his "suicide note" will be automatically sent to his sister's mailbox.

When he looked up suddenly, he happened to see the wall clock.

Fool!

Jiang Qian turned around in front of Luo Hong who was about to come up to say hello! He rushed back to his computer, turned on the computer and typed on the keyboard in an almost rude manner!

The email page popped up:

"Cancel sending, please click to confirm"

Confirm! Damn it.

"Cancel failed, email sending..."

...

PS:

Wrong typos will be corrected first and then corrected!

Small bug report: The "one day and one night" in the dungeon has been revised to three days and two nights (scratching my head
