old dream

Chapter 128
On Thursday morning, when Colin finished transcribing a letter in the Seminary Newsroom, he remembered the request made by Julio yesterday:

20.00% of the entire Stade.

But an "if" restricts the premise of all this, "if" Colin "controls the entire underground bootlegging market in Stade."

A strange way of saying it.When Julio said this, it was as if he saw that moment with his own eyes.

She didn't have any doubts about Colin's ambition and ability, and she was sure that the current pattern of the five hands would definitely usher in a reshuffle.

A very risky option.Since she herself didn't mind taking the burden, Colin readily agreed to her proposal.

Obviously there is nothing now, but the two young juniors have begun to share 20.00% of Stade's future territory.This made him feel a little arrogant, but also a little funny.

From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to cut off his 80 Ori from this feast before the arrival of the winter solstice.

But the opportunity to delay paying Julio would of course welcome it.

The mind-wandering at work only lasted for a short moment.Colin turned his attention back to the matters at hand.

The red letter instrument kept drawing crooked lines amidst the rustling sound, and only relying on instinct, Colin quickly translated them into Ankh letters, and never allowed himself to make mistakes.

Because the "stealing" of these files is also going on simultaneously.

With the crisis related to Arecio over, he can once again devote his time and energy to wiretapping the internal documents of the various orders.

In recent days, Ke Lin intensively exhausted and refilled the abundance of life, and as a result, the capacity of the "starry sky" in his consciousness has also increased again.

Although the fine division of individual particles has not improved, the total number of "stars" in consciousness has jumped from the original [-] to [-].

This means that the total amount of text that can be tapped every day has increased by another quarter.

At this time, the shell of the heart has not really opened, but there is no doubt that Ke Lin's consciousness is slowly spreading and expanding.

At the same time, the newspaper office of the seminary, which has various monitoring methods, is still unaware of this.

This may be due to the cover of the memory seal.At the same time, under the deliberate design of Ke Lin and Ji Lian, the most obvious hearth has also been hidden in Ke Lin's deep consciousness.

But this also fully shows that there are still considerable omissions in the security of the seminary's newspaper room.

It's just the emergence of this situation, and it cannot be said who is incompetent or dereliction of duty.

It is said that within the religious organization, there are several higher "levels of secrecy".The materials related to them will not be transmitted through this red letter instrument at all, at least they will not come into contact with the outsiders of the religious order during the whole process.

But that means extremely high cost, and less efficient communication speed.

The security of confidentiality is always positively correlated with cost and negatively correlated with efficiency.

As an educational and research institution that is semi-open to the secular world, the Seminary naturally cannot set all its communication channels as cumbersome and top-secret.

In fact, the newsroom that Ke Lin was in still belonged to the category with a lower security level in the entire system.It does have certain safeguards, and even has the ability to resist extraordinary.But also because of various restrictions, it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of leaks.

In the case of limited resources, excessive secrecy is tantamount to waste.Just as total defense without focus in war is no defense at all.An important principle is that all security measures are appropriate choices after weighing the importance of the object and the acceptable security cost.

Ke Lin's secret method is indeed just a little bit better than the guarantee of this newspaper.But this in itself also shows that this information is not so critical to the order.After all, that is why they are transmitted on this risky channel.

Besides, in this mysterious and unpredictable world, nothing is completely guaranteed.

Even top-secret information still has the possibility of being eavesdropped.

In the past few days, Ke Lin has changed his main tracking target from the overseas scholar of the Kayu Department to the "Jackdaw Hunting Group Head Office".

This is not the first time he has dealt with this institution. As far as he knows, it is only responsible to the "Principal Holy Province" of the religious order, but the specific actions are autonomous.

They have carried out surveillance work on people like Ji Lian.

From this point of view, "Jackdaw Hunting Group" should be more or less related to those illegal underground wizards. The name of an organization like "Hunting Group" is also easy for people to guess in this direction.

So Colin began to try to find clues related to the "train incident" from their internal communications.

On the train bound for the western suburbs, at least dozens of Sindhili passengers were expected to die.Alessio alone caused such a serious incident, but he failed to cause any rumors and commotion on the secular surface of Stade.

Although none of the witnesses' brains have been preserved intact.And in the process of cracking "Reappearance in a Foreign Land", Colin destroyed the souls of all the victims.It stands to reason that there were very few clues at the scene, and it would be difficult for anyone to track down Colin.

Now that this incident has inexplicably had no follow-up and disappeared, it seems that there is no need to take it too seriously.

But it was what really disturbed Colin.But it is precisely the point of "no news leaked".

It was like trying to throw a stone off a cliff, but there was no echo from below.Behind the unexpected calm, there may be a deadly danger lurking.

First, it means that someone has picked up the mess for them, someone with a lot of energy and no clear motive.

Second, if even such a mass casualty incident fails to reveal a trace of wind.So in Stade every month, even today, when he is lazy at work, is there a similar incident happening?
Under the stable and prosperous surface, how many people just disappeared without a sound?

Colin recalled the tragic situation in the carriages, and still couldn't help feeling a chill.

He didn't think he was a kind person, after all, it wasn't the first time he had killed someone.But he never only killed gang members.Because people in the industry died, there were still people who took care of their families for them.

He only kills those who know that they may die, but still reach out to benefit.

This is a somewhat hypocritical principle, like confessing to himself, but at least so far, he has never crossed the line.

After all, Ke Lin came from a world with advanced information, and his fundamental concepts were formed in his previous life.There, the death of dozens of people was already a major event that shocked the whole country.But when he got here, he couldn't make a splash.

He couldn't help being a little confused, wondering if he should adapt to this reality.

In the report submitted by the Jackdaw Hunting Group to the religious order "Principality of the Holy Province", the train tragedy was named as the 91346 incident.Colin, who is sensitive to symbols, easily noticed that it was a serial number simply arranged by the date and the number of the dead.

The incident was not handed over to the Jackdaw Hunting Corps.Judging from the report, they only performed some marginal work, such as asking for clues through some cooperative underground wizards.But the person who actually handles the scene, that is, the investigation of traces of witchcraft and the handling of witnesses, is another organization.

They called that department the "Bureau".It is clearly not responsible for the Order, and judging from some of the Hunting Group's wording, it appears to be directly subordinate to the principality's authorities.To Colin, it feels like the secret department of Detective Stade.

They have sufficient authority to use those mental interference techniques that have long been listed as taboo, and those mirror images are constantly monitored by the "fictitious temple"-but their starting coordinates have been marked, so they will not be traced.

I am afraid that it is precisely because of the intervention of this "sub-bureau" that the tragic 91346 incident was covered up without a trace.

Today, the report from the Jackdaw Hunting Group to the Principality of Saint Province reappeared.The hunting group's reports have become more frequent this week, and Colin doesn't know if it will be related to him.

What Colin didn't know was that Heine, a student of Uncle Craigie, who was sitting on the supervisor's seat, was casually looking at the seven newspapermen who were immersed in copying in the newspaper room.

From time to time, he observed the reaction of the "lantern".While thinking back to yesterday evening, what the dean talked to him about.
