Chapter 293 Identity Swap
Ah Wei's Grill.

It's not a barbecue restaurant for Awei, but a barbecue restaurant opened by a boss nicknamed Awei.

Because the location of the store is close to the train station of Anling City, this is one of the few barbecue shops in Anling City that will be open until the early morning.

It was already night when Zhu Jue returned to Anling City in Linda's car. He didn't eat much all day, so he came here and ordered all the barbecues, and sent a message to Olivia Text message, now that their whereabouts are known to them, there is no need to hide so much. He happened to have something to ask her.

"What happened in Greenland, why was it frozen for five years?"

Olivia leaned the dripping umbrella outside the store, took a cup of tea to relieve her tiredness, and asked as soon as she sat in front of Zhu Jue.

This kind of experience sounds absurd to ordinary people. It is not impossible to freeze a person for a long time with modern freezing technology, but it is also with the help of various instruments, which is natural in the wild environment of Greenland There can be no such things.

"All I can say is that it was an accident, it was complicated, it wasn't voluntary, but overall, apart from the fact that too much time has passed, I have benefited a lot."

This is the truth. After five years of freezing, Zhu Jue has completely eliminated the hidden dangers in his body. Not only has his own spirit returned to a normal state, but he has also carried out an all-round "upgrade" with the help of the power of the ancient crystal.

It's just that there are too many things involved, so it's inconvenient to tell Olivia.

"The plane from Greenland that appeared in Dawn City yesterday, did you take it?"

Olivia suddenly remembered the rumored Greenland escape plane incident that had been reported in the news some time ago, and couldn't help asking.

"Otherwise, what do you think, I arrived in Shuguang City last night, and today I came to Yecheng to look for Fengling, and I'm tired."

He took out two honey-colored agate stones from his backpack and pinched them in his hands, rubbing them against each other with his fingers swinging like a plate of walnuts.

If someone observes with a sophisticated instrument, they will find that the volume of the two agate stones is constantly shrinking during the collision, and the color is also slightly dim.

This is not the effect of the disc, but Zhu Jue is extracting the energy in it. This is what he discovered on the way back. Whether it is ruby ​​or these honey-colored agate stones, there are some special energies contained in them, which can be used to enhance your spiritual power.

Although the amount of each gemstone is not much, it is better than the amount. Zhu Jue now waits for the five bags of gemstones in his hand to be completely absorbed, and he should be able to bring something comparable to the "novice gift bag" that the gentleman gave him before. Effect.

The only regret is that the efficiency of absorbing the energy of these gemstones is really low. According to the method Zhu Jue is using now, he can absorb about two gemstones in one night.

This is still on the premise that his soul is liberated, otherwise, as in the previous situation where his soul was closed, even if he held these gems, he would not be able to feel the energy in them at all, and could only regard them as ordinary gems.

Thinking about it now, fortunately they were not sold because there was no shortage of money.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause trouble.

Closer to home, the reason why Zhu Jue took the initiative to call Olivia out this time was because he wanted to get inside information about the Yecheng incident through her.

"You have now joined the Archaeological Society"

Before asking a few words, Zhu Jue heard Olivia talk about her identity, and asked in surprise,

"The special operations team doesn't want you anymore?"

"The Anqing Mansion is gone, where is the special operations team? During your absence, the federal government planned several plans to retake the Anqing Mansion, but in the end they failed to stop the spread of monsters and had to give up in the end. And those of us The members who originally belonged to the Anqing Mansion Special Operations Group were also assigned to various departments in other regions.”

According to the assignment, Olivia joined the Dawn City Monster Countermeasures Bureau, but because Dawn City is a super city, there are actually not many spiritual pollution source monsters to deal with, so after working in the Dawn City Monster Countermeasures Bureau for two years, she voluntarily applied. Transferred to the Archaeological Society.

Although the Archaeological Association and the Monster Countermeasures Bureau are two completely different organizations now, when the Archaeological Association first started to build the Field Bureau for the investigation of monster incidents of spiritual pollution sources three years ago, it still relied on the help of the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, and even asked for help from the Monster Countermeasures Bureau. The federal government provided a lot of confidential information in order to dig some people from the Monster Countermeasures Bureau to fill the vacancies in the Archaeological Association and establish a preliminary framework.

It is also because of this that Olivia was able to rise all the way from a member of the special operations team without any background background to her current position within three years
"Since your status in the Archaeological Association is not low, you can come into contact with a lot of information. How much do you know about the Yecheng incident?"

After listening to Olivia's brief description, Zhu Jue knew that she must have found the right person this time.

"zero!"

"Hey, this is a bit too much, let's talk about it anyway."

"The 'zero' I said was not a number, but a name!"

Sipping herbal tea, Olivia frowned and said the name of an organization.

"zero?"

Zhu Jue repeated the question in embarrassment.

"This is a very special cult organization. It cannot be simply called a sect, but a combination of certain cults that exist all over the world, such as the people we met at the spring festival parade in Rongxia City. , they belonged to a local cult organization—the Holy Spirit Sect. Because of you, the plan of this sect was completely broken, and the leader of the organization died on the spot. Then, in the follow-up investigation, it was discovered that the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, who claimed to be the Taoist People have close contacts with this religion called 'Zero'. Similarly, through the satellite images at that time, we found that the old man who appeared on the music dome is very similar to a suspect who appeared on the federal wanted list very early His title in 'Zero' is Merlin!"

Olivia noticed that Zhu Jue's expression was a bit puzzled, and then explained,
"Merlin is a legendary magician in English and Welsh mythology. He is powerful and full of wisdom, can predict the future and transfiguration. He is famous for helping King Arthur ascend the throne and leaving behind various deeds. He is King Arthur's best friend and mentor. According to the available information It is conjectured that the code names of the members of the cult organization 'Zero' are almost all mythical people, and in fact they do possess the power that most people regard as miraculous!"

"Um"

Speaking of the situation in Rongxia City, Zhu Jue immediately thought of the crack that appeared in the sky and the large group of Byakhees flying out of it. This kind of power can indeed be called a miracle in the eyes of most uninformed people .

And as Rong Xiacheng's memory resurfaced in his mind, Zhu Juepan's movements of the honey-colored agate stone paused slightly, and he said to himself: "The "Secret Scripture of the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" was thought to be a myth at the time, but now Seems like it might be something tangible, if so."

Looking at the backpack next to him, Zhu Jue suddenly realized that the "Book of Dekian" that he had obtained by Flo after being taught by the "mentor" in his dream was probably not a simple thing. It's worth going back and doing some research.

"What are you talking about? Xuanjun"

"I'm just saying that the bacon enoki mushrooms here are delicious, would you like a bunch?"

Picking up the meat skewers in the tray and handing them over, Zhu Jue continued,

"Is there any other news about this organization, and finally the location of the members of the organization."

"Sorry, those are all the secrets of the Archaeological Association. The information I told you just now is the limit of what I can say. As a member of the Field Bureau of the Archaeological Association, I cannot take the initiative to disclose the secrets of the Association. The non-disclosure agreement signed at the time, if found out, you may have to go to the heavy prison in Dawn City next time you want to see me."

In fact, Olivia has not been promoted yet, but in front of Zhu Jue, she emphatically mentioned the Field Service Bureau and its possible contact with the cult organization "Zero".

"Confidential, do you know of any way to find similar information?"

Zhu Jue respects Olivia's work, he will not force her to tell those secrets, that is an approach to the enemy, and her behavior of following the outer city to confirm her identity today made Zhu Jue put her in the in the Friends column.

"If there is a way to do this, please be sure to tell me!"

Olivia's reply was quite straightforward. The Archaeological Association is now doing its best to collect information about this organization. If there were such channels, it would have been figured out long ago.

"Tsk, what's your opinion?"

Realizing how stupid his question was, Zhu Jue swallowed three pumpkin pies in embarrassment, and asked vaguely.

"You're asking for my help, can I take it that way?"

At this point in the conversation, Olivia smiled a little more in her eyes, tugged at the neckline with both hands, straightened the wrinkled coat due to sitting for a long time, leaned on her cheek with her left hand, locked her eyes on Zhu Jue, who wore light makeup Cooperating with the heavy rain outside the window, her temperament became colder and colder.

Zhu Jue was frozen in the inland ice sheet of Greenland for five years. He thought that his friends were still the same. In fact, during the five years of the world's sudden change, they had already grown to a new level.

"You may think so."

I always felt that something was wrong, but Zhu Jue still nodded.

"You want to obtain the confidential information in the Archaeological Association, investigate about 'Zero', monsters of spiritual pollution, and those mysterious legends. There is only one way, and that is to join the Archaeological Association!"

This is Olivia's suggestion.

"Can anyone join the Archaeological Association at will? I'm a black household now."

No matter what period the Archaeological Association is in, it does not recruit people at will. After all, the things that people come into contact with in the Association are not very acceptable. With Zhu Jue's current status, he does not even have the qualifications to participate in the assessment established by the Archaeological Association.

"I will soon become the captain of the Field Service Bureau, which is not a small position. According to the internal regulations of the Archaeological Association, the newly recruited captain has a certain right to choose his own investigation team members. With my relationship, let people participate The internal assessment of the Archaeological Association is not difficult."

Taking a sip of the herbal tea again, Olivia's eyes clearly had a smile of success. Thinking of what happened to her in Yecheng just now, she paused for a few seconds and raised her eyebrows and said,
"If you beg me, I will let you be my subordinate."

You were my boss five years ago, not only disliked me, but also ignored me.

Five years later.

It's time for a change!
