Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"You mean... Peacock has betrayed us?"

"Not necessarily. She could also be sending us a message this way, but in either case, don't send anyone to investigate. It's too dangerous."

"Yes, ma'am."

"You can go now. Tell the website staff to keep a close eye on things during this period. If Peacock's account comes online again, immediately track down its location and notify me."

"Yes," the butler-like man bowed again and withdrew.

Just then, the laptop on the desk suddenly made a "ding" sound. An Zhehao frowned and walked to the desk.

The Ghost Network program was running in the background, emitting a notification sound to indicate that there was an important update. An Zhehao turned on the computer, and sure enough, the Ghost Network program interface automatically popped up in the foreground, displaying a gold message.

Bounty Mission

Mission targets: Zhou Zhengguo, Director of the Public Security Bureau of Shenhai City, Haidong Province, China; Wang Tiejun, Deputy Director; and Zhou Meng, Commander of the Third Detachment of the Armed Police Force of Shenhai City.

Bounty: US$500 million per person;

Task deadline: Before March 21st;

Note: Those who participate in the mission but are not the direct killers can receive $5 if they can provide proof of their contribution.

Bounty offered by: Ajax, Amphitryon.

"Ajax, Amphitriteon...aren't these Aldrich's men? Why are they targeting these three? And why such a high bounty?..."

If this mission is completed, they will spend at least twenty to thirty million US dollars. Is there something I don't know about?

An Zhehao frowned. At that moment, a series of subtitles popped up under the bounty information. Within just a few minutes, no fewer than 50 people had accepted the bounty mission.

An Zhehao felt a little annoyed. So many people were going to Shenhai City to stir up trouble, which would definitely have a negative impact on his plans. Even if it had no impact, An Zhehao didn't want these people to go to Shenhai City for no reason.

Just as An Zhehao was about to close the computer screen, a line of small print popped up below the bounty information, causing his pupils to shrink sharply: Medusa accepted the bounty mission.

"What's going on?!"

In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through An Zhehao's mind.

After being stunned for a while, An Zhehao got up, opened a hidden compartment, took out a satellite phone from the safe inside, and quickly dialed a number.

The phone rang seven or eight times before being answered.

"Nemesis, what terrible thing has happened to make you use this emergency communication channel for the first time?"

"My esteemed Ares, there is one thing I must answer definitively at once!"

"Please speak, my dear Nemesis."

Has the Abyss acquired a new Medusa?

"Unfortunately, to my knowledge, no. In fact, we have considered six candidates, but none of them have passed the test yet."

"My dear Nemesis, can you explain to me why you would ask me such a question through the emergency contact channel?"

"Dear Ares, just now, I saw on the Ghost Web that Medusa accepted a bounty quest."

"Oh my God..." There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone: "Dear Nemesis, this is not good news... However, I personally think it's not bad news either."

At least, the guy who stole our treasure has finally reappeared.

"I don't think so, Your Excellency Ares. I believe this is a trap set by the Chinese government."

"Do you think the Chinese government has cracked the Ghost Network? I don't think so. In fact, I've never believed that it was the Chinese government that stole our treasure."

"Dear Ares, I don't want to repeat this question again. I have already explained it to you. I have also explained in detail what happened that day."

Only the Chinese government could mobilize such a large force; no other person or organization has this capability.

"No, no, no, dear Nemesis, we don't think so at all. That accident was completely unlike the style of the Chinese government. The two are very different!"

In fact, everyone believes that, at least you, my dear Nemesis, have this ability.

"You're doubting me?!" An Zhehao's voice quickly turned cold.

"No, dear Nemesis, that's not true, at least I've never doubted you."

I have no doubt about your faith and deeply admire your outstanding contributions to the Abyss over the years, though others have some reservations about it.

At the same time, I also believe that you had reservations about the Divine Court in that matter. With your talent and ability, it's impossible that you couldn't find out the truth!

I think you haven't told us everything you know, and it seems you're trying to protect that despicable thief.

"I have nothing to say, I can only express my deepest regret!"

"Let's not dwell on this anymore, dear Nemesis. Thank you for informing me of the latest news about Medusa. I will keep a close eye on it, and I hope you will fulfill your duties."

"As you wish, I will."

"Very good, Mr. An. Next, I would like to give you some advice as a friend."

"Please speak, Mr. Abraham."

"Mr. An, you should know that I have always been exceptionally lenient with you. I believe you have every right to be arrogant, because your loyalty and achievements are evident to all."

However, in the past two years, accidents have frequently occurred in the areas you manage, your own plans have been repeatedly thwarted, and the tasks assigned to you by the Abyss Divine Court have not been completed perfectly!

What's even more appalling is that you treat Shenhai City, and even the entire Haidong Province, as your private domain. This is not in line with our principles, and what happened in Shenhai City is further troubling!

All of this is very bad for you, and I hope that situations like this can improve as soon as possible.

"I understand what you mean. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Abraham."

"Very well, can we end this call now?"

"Yes, Mr. Abraham."

"The light of freedom shines into the abyss."

"The abyss boils, the gods have finally descended!"

An Zhehao hung up the phone, put it away, and poured himself a full glass of red wine.

"The Abyss Divine Court! Heh, they really think they're gods..."

An Zhehao downed the entire glass of red wine in one gulp and slammed it heavily onto the bar. The glass made a slight cracking sound, and a shallow crack appeared in the base.

An Zhehao frowned, reached out and swept the wine glass into the trash can next to him.

"I think I know why you wanted to return to Shenhai City... Zhou Zhengguo, Wang Tiejun, Zhou Meng... Which one do you really care about?... Or, can you care about any three of them?... "

Xingfuyuan Community

An Xiaohai gently closed the laptop and rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Just now, he casually used Medusa's account to take a look at the entire Ghost Network. The structure of the website was much simpler than he had imagined, and the functions were not very rich.

However, these features are sufficient for organizing crime, and in this day and age, Ghost Web is considered top-notch.

"An Zhehao, my second challenge has been sent. Do you dare to accept?!"

Security Department Temporary Command Center in Deep Sea City

027 put down the binoculars, rested his hands on the table, and thought for a long time before raising his head.

"I basically agree with An Xiaohai's plan. 018, what do you think?"

"I agree!" 018 nodded. "I think we can even take this opportunity to resolve the hidden dangers in Xiaoguan Bay as well."

"Isn't this a bit rushed?" 027 frowned deeply. "We don't have a sure chance of winning right now."

"We can't wait any longer!" 018 stood up: "I learned a lesson from An Xiaohai: we can't wait until we're absolutely sure of something before we take action."

Fighter jets are earned through fighting!

Especially when dealing with an opponent like Ahn Cheol-ho, you must find a way to get him moving. Many times, what we think is ready may just be an illusion!

Moreover, have you all considered that if we succeed in cooperating with An Xiaohai's operation this time, it will be equivalent to completely cornering An Zhehao. It's hard to say what will happen then!

Therefore, I believe that either we should take action in advance to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Xiaoguan Bay, or we should make An Xiaohai stop his plans and wait for us to be fully prepared before proceeding.

You can only choose one of the two; that's my opinion.

"What are your opinions?" 027 looked at the others present.

"I agree with 018's opinion!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

……

"And you, 073?"

"I'll do as you say. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"Well, you've become cunning!" 027 glared at 073: "Alright, let's do as 18 suggests."

Immediately request headquarters to dispatch all available special agents with codenames up to 200 to Deepsea City. This time, we will have a proper showdown with the Abyss and with An Zhehao!

"yes!"
