Chapter 1015 They are more reliable than you

Holmes certainly didn't take a break.

The fireplace in the basement was burning brightly. When Wang Yunxiao followed Yan Yu'an into the house, he saw the skinny man lying on a rocking chair with an old-fashioned pipe in his mouth, filling the already small basement with smoke.

It's a sealed space, with a stove burning and cigarettes being smoked. Aren't you really worried about carbon monoxide poisoning when you play like this?

The basement is filled with all kinds of books and documents, and the carpets and walls are covered with dense text information, which can easily cause physical discomfort to people with low cultural level.

However, all this messy information was secondary. Wang Yunxiao noticed the man sleeping soundly on the sofa with his shirt covering him at the second glance.

acquaintance.

If it wasn't someone pretending to be him, the probability of seeing someone pretending to be him in a place like this is almost negligible.

Even his own appearance was beyond Wang Yunxiao's expectations.

Huo Qingyang.

The former head of the operations department who has disappeared since the earthquake in the middle-level management of the Secret Service last October.

Of course, the Secret Service will not take the initiative to announce the whereabouts of the Chief of Operations, but if you have some channels or connections, you can find out that the chief resigned in anger because of the unfortunate death of his girlfriend.

Of course Wang Yunxiao knew that this was a smokescreen.

Because Huo Qingyang’s real girlfriend...it’s hard to say whether she is a girlfriend or not, but she is the current head of the Intelligence Department, Liu Zhihan.

I just didn't expect him to come to this place.

If we think about it from another angle, at least as early as October last year, the Secret Service had already begun to plan specifically for Landon.

"You are finally here."

The man Cheng Feng called Mr. Holmes blew out a smoke ring and pursed his lips at Huo Qingyang on the sofa: "Take this glutton away from me now! Do you know how much the price of bread in Landon has increased by one pound now?"

In fact, Huo Qingyang had already woken up when he entered the door. Hearing this, he sat up, stretched and retorted: "Brother, what you said is a bit conscienceless. You ate and drank for free at my house for so many years. Did my father ask you for meal expenses?"

Holmes sneered, "Don't mention your father. I paid for the tuition, why should he not provide me with food?"

What do you call him?
Wang Yunxiao was stunned as he listened nearby. The key point was that Mr. Holmes' Chinese, or to be more precise, his Tianmen accent, was so pure that even the natives of Tianmen could not find any fault with it.

Huo Qingyang glanced at the three young men and immediately smiled: "Okay, you guys can also go out to do field work, you are making rapid progress. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"unnecessary."

Cheng Feng shook his head and said, "I came here specially to visit Mr. Holmes today. I didn't know that you were here, Chief Huo."

"You're talking nonsense! Is there anything your secretariat doesn't know?"

Hearing that they were not looking for him, Huo Qingyang's face suddenly changed. He turned his head and curled up on the sofa to continue sleeping, leaving his butt to the three people. "Really not taking him with you?"

Holmes looked disappointed: "Or even if you ask him to get out of here, he can go wherever he wants."

"I came here today to ask you about the policy changes at the top of Lanton."

Cheng Feng said seriously: "According to our observations, the actions of the Lanton government seem to have become a little extreme. They deliberately induced Asmodeus to invade our Millennium Dynasty world. This behavior seems to be contrary to Avalon's closed tendency."

“It’s not inducement.”

Holmes took a puff of his cigarette and shook his head, saying, "Asmodeus has already reached an agreement with the government. Their move this time is to take advantage of the time when the Sihai Chamber of Commerce returns to its homeland to extend a helping hand."

Cheng Feng frowned and asked, "What's the reason for doing this?"

"Stirring up shit, isn't that natural?"

Holmes smiled and said, "The return of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce will inevitably lead to a certain degree of chaos in the social order of Tianmen, and chaos is the most suitable soil for the survival of demons. Asmodeus urgently needs to master a new authority to consolidate his position in the new era. He wants to replace the past 'desire' with 'joy'. Those overseas Chinese happen to be the most suitable audience. They are used to eating Western food, and they will definitely not adapt to the local climate when they suddenly return to China. At this time, 'joy' is needed to ease cultural conflicts and social contradictions."

"As for us, I think you should be able to understand that when the mathematical usurpers constructed the social model, they did not take into account the human need for pleasure. After all, from a scientific point of view, almost all human desires are affected by the secretion of brain hormones. After becoming a digital life, it is natural to get rid of this low-level spiritual pursuit."

"But how should I put it? Theory is one thing, and practice is another. It is indeed a little difficult to convince those noble gentlemen to give up the pursuit of pleasure. Look, I can't even quit smoking. If human beings give up pleasure, it is equivalent to giving up humanity."

Holmes pointed to his brain. “You know how addictive drugs work? Our bones and tendons wear out all the time, and our bodies secrete a hormone that reduces the pain of this wear to a negligible level. Taking that drug is like injecting a large dose of hormone, so it makes us feel euphoric.”

"But after that, the effects of the drug make our brains think that the hormones in our body are too much and no longer need to be secreted. When the effect of the drug wears off, we will soon feel the wear and tear pain that was once masked by the hormones. In the words of those addicts, it is like having ants crawling all over the body."

"So, humans need joy, even digital life. As part of this deal, Asmodeus, the Lord of Joy, will convert half of his soul into data to provide them with the necessary joy."

Cheng Feng thought for a moment and nodded, "Thank you for your reminder. This is indeed something we didn't know before. So if we implement it into specific actions, how much support will your government provide to Asmodeus?"

"Of course, all the support except for the actual actions."

Holmes made a joke.

"From what I know, the Mathematical Transgressor provided Asmodeus with a highly feasible plan, but this information cannot be given away for free."

"What do you need?"

"Do one thing for me."

Huo Qingyang sat up and stared at Holmes: "Why don't you use a grown man like me here? Why do you have to use these newcomers?"

"That's different."

Holmes shook his head and said, "Based on my observations of them, they are much more reliable than you."
