Alien Executioner

"Yes." Wang Feng nodded in acknowledgement.

"According to the investigation of the Internal Affairs Department, the weapon has taken shape, jumping from the template concept to the actual thing, and has completed the first phase of the experiment, right?"

"Your Internal Affairs Department is secretly investigating my Research Department?" Wang Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Just confirming some things."

"Okay, okay, I give in to you, Sister Li. Are you that worried about me?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you investigating the use of funds in the research department?"

"I have considered whether anyone has embezzled public funds. Corruption was very serious in the past." Li Fei did not press the issue.

"That was the former Minister of Research and Development, Weihausen. I admit that he did destroy the image and credibility of the Research and Development Department. I have tried my best to restore it."

When talking about Weihausen, Wang Feng looked heartbroken, as if there was still hope for our scientific research department.

Li Fei blinked.

"By redemption, do you mean taking them out to play and lie down every day, and organizing a drinking party once a week?"

"Ah this..."

Wang Feng was speechless.

"Do you know that the Internal Affairs Department received a report about you last night. The report said that you have lax discipline and bad work style." Li Fei looked at Wang Feng.

The minister slammed his hand on the table and almost stood up.

"Sister Li, this is really unfair!"

He covered his chest with his hands, looking sad.

"I admit that we all have bad habits, but discipline is definitely not lax! We remember our duties and work, and we have bad work styles... We were holding a drinking party last night, which was allowed by Director An Ran and is a reasonable work benefit!"

"Oh, the drinking party isn't today." Li Fei immediately grasped the point.

"Let's talk about the specific content of the report." He scratched his head.

"Late last night, someone saw researchers gathered together to perform some kind of evil ritual and chant strange spells. You were there too."

Only now did Wang Feng understand what it felt like to be wronged. He was so bitter that he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only clench his fists.

After he fainted from shock, the members of the Research Department did not send him to the Logistics Department, but placed him in the middle of the formation as a sacrifice.

Facing Li Fei's scrutiny, he couldn't stand it.

"Can I explain?"

"Of course, but these are small matters. After all... the executive officer's review doesn't care whether you are materialistic or idealistic." Ling

Wang Feng almost raised his hands in surrender and sighed.

"Sister Li, let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Fei nodded and returned to the original topic: "Regarding the special cannon, we found out that you lost a finished product, but you didn't report it to Zero, so Zero took it very seriously and authorized me to investigate the matter. You need to give a reasonable explanation."

"I thought it was something wrong, it's not lost." Wang Feng just answered.

"Oh?" hissed

"To be precise, it was destroyed. I thought Zero wouldn't care about such a thing. The operation logic of this artificial intelligence is too old-fashioned."

Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"The data of the so-called finished product was wrong. Because of the error in the precise data, it became a defective product, so I chose to destroy it."

"Open the file." Li Fei made herself a second cup of tea.

Wang Feng was silent for two seconds, and finally chose to open the file and slowly took off the protective bag. The so-called information inside was actually a thick stack of photos.

Almost all the photos are about a ship, which looks extremely dilapidated, as if it has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes.

The photo at the bottom was taken from a corner of the ship and was taken from a drone.

A brand new special cannon.

Wang Feng pushed his glasses, and a bright light flashed.

"What does it mean?"

"I also want to know why such a thing appeared on the ship from Shenjiang. It is exactly the same as the other machine. What a coincidence."

Li Fei narrowed her eyes. At that moment, there was an extremely dangerous aura, like a ray of cold light piercing her, but her smile was so harmonious.

"On April 4, this ship suddenly appeared in Shenjiang, and a large number of phagocyte residues were detected. Since a huge monster that looked like Shang had appeared there, Lao Zhou from the Operations Department accompanied the members of your Research Department to the place for investigation. In fact,—"

Li Fei paused for a moment. She looked into Wang Feng's eyes, trying to see something.

"Before this, our intelligence department members had already conducted a comprehensive investigation and took more than 50 photos. However, you did not provide feedback on this finished product after the investigation and tried to conceal it. What do you want to say about this?"

Wang Feng put one hand on his chin, lowered his head and stared at the photo for a while, then shrugged helplessly.

"I have no idea of ​​that."

"So you admit that this is a special cannon, right?" Li Fei had an inexplicable aura when asking questions, because he had been an interrogator for many years.

"From the preliminary analysis of the photo, I have to admit that this is indeed a special cannon, but why can't the photo be faked?"

He asked back calmly.

Chapter 158 Centipede (VIII)

Li Fei stood up and paced around Wang Feng. There was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath.

"You're right, photos can be faked, but what if they are photos that have been tested against zero databases?"

Wang Feng closed his eyes.

Li Fei was right. As the world's most advanced artificial intelligence and supercomputer, Zero naturally had the ability to detect authenticity. She was obviously well prepared, and this photo had already been included in Zero's database.

Wang Feng opened his eyes and made tea for himself with some distress.

"Damn it, I didn't know about such an important thing until now."

"There is a traitor in the Research Department." Li Fei smiled faintly.

"You seem sure."

"You think this photo can't be used as evidence?"

"Maybe someone from other departments sneaked into the Research Department. Didn't an undercover agent also sneak into Director An Ran's office?" Wang Feng reminded.

"Could an outsider have the three passwords of the Research Department?" Li Fei was a little surprised.

"I'm not sure about that. I know what you are thinking right now, Sister Li."

Wang Feng spread his hands.

"That's right. The finished product of the special cannon is protected in the most secure 'beehive' in the research department. Even Director An Ran does not have the authority to enter. The deputy director and I must unlock three codes at the same time to open it."

While he was talking, Li Fei sat back in her seat.

Wang Feng glanced at her.

"The 'Hive' has the same top-secret security as the 'Hub'. Generally speaking, it is indeed impossible to steal. However, in addition to these three passwords, there is also a temporary emergency password."

"Temporary emergency password?" Li Fei frowned.

"Yes, the password was originally set... to deal with an emergency situation where the director and deputy director of the Research Department were missing and the three passwords became invalid, making the hive unable to be opened."

Wang Feng explained with a sigh. He seemed not very satisfied with the setting of the emergency password.

Li Fei frowned: "Why don't I know?"

"I've known about this for only a short time. When the Research Department was first established, the password was set by the first director himself. At that time, the Research Department was still an independent department and was not under the jurisdiction of the Countermeasures Bureau." Wang Feng spread his hands.

"I can understand that someone outside knows the emergency code that even I don't know, right?"

"After all, no one can predict such things."

"You think this is a small matter?"

Wang Feng stood up and smiled at Li Fei:

"Things that can be remedied are all small matters. Sister Li, you worry too much. I admit that this is a small loophole in the research department, but it is not that serious."

"I like what you said. Anything that can be made up for is a small matter." Li Fei stared into his eyes for a long time, responded with a smile, and gently climbed on the chair with both hands.

Wang Feng shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Sister Li, for wasting so much of your time. I still have some things waiting for me to deal with in the research department. I'll leave first."

His hand was on the door handle without exerting any force. The feeling of slowly pushing it back made him dazed for a moment. Someone outside opened the door. It was a woman in uniform.

The woman stumbled in suddenly. She held on to the door frame to steady her feet, looked up at Wang Feng, then lowered her head shyly.

"Hug...sorry!"

The moment he saw the woman's face, Wang Feng's eyes flashed with disbelief.

"Intern executive Wu Pingping is here to report!" The woman walked up to Li Fei and stood in a standard posture with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

Li Fei looked at the woman in front of her thoughtfully, glancing at Wang Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah."

The newcomer who suddenly came in interrupted the conversation between the two. The topic was cleverly ended, and Li Fei was too lazy to ask any more questions.

Wang Feng immediately turned around and walked back, looking at the woman's face with some curiosity.

The woman shouted nervously:

"Hello, sir!"

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite." Wang Feng chuckled and pushed up his glasses. With his other hand, he signaled her to put down her manners. "You're a pretty good newcomer. Have you been assigned to the Intelligence Department?"

"I picked it myself," said Li Fei.

"Wow, it's really amazing that someone can be chosen by Sister Li personally. Don't be so nervous. Have you been assigned the Devouring Weapon?" Wang Feng looked curious.

"When did you become so interested in newcomers?" Li Fei was a little puzzled.

He ignored it and waited for Wu Pingping's answer.

"Distributed." Wu Pingping answered nervously, pretending to roll up her sleeves.

"Okay, okay, Wu Pingping, right? You graduated from Atlanta?"

"No, I graduated from the Intelligence Counterattack Department of the First Preliminary College in Shanshu City."

"The Intelligence Offensive Department is good. This is a good seedling. Sister Li, please give it to me." Wang Feng blinked at Li Fei and moved his gaze back to the newcomer.

"Come to my research department. We are short of people recently."

The sudden poaching made Wu Pingping a little overwhelmed. She stammered, not knowing how to answer the director of the research department in front of her, so she looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei's face also turned cold. It was absurd to let an intern who graduated from the Intelligence Counterattack Department enter the Research Department, and the invitation came from the director of the Research Department.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on Wu Pingping's shoulder, staring into Wang Feng's eyes.

"As a newcomer selected by me personally, Wu Pingping is naturally good at what she does. As for the fresh blood that the Research Department needs to replenish... Oh, isn't that enough?"

"You can't say that. The ratio of men to women in the research department is seriously unbalanced, and the work status is low and decadent. We must have a booster."

"What? You want to form a cheerleading team to stand beside the researchers every day to support them?"

"I actually had this idea when I was the deputy minister, but..." Wang Feng pretended to think.

"But what?"

"Take good care of your daughter. Maybe one day I can recruit her into the research department."

Li Fei was stunned by the sudden change of topic. She didn't understand why Wang Feng suddenly and illogically started talking about his daughter.

The minister shrugged and walked away quickly, as if the conversation had been a waste of time.

She thought for a long time.

"Damn, that's off topic."

……

In the dim room, a slender figure passed through the dim light.

Wang Feng was wearing a coat and looking down at an old photo, never looking up.

"When did you come to the Countermeasures Bureau?"

The figure walked to the table, the surrounding desk lamps illuminated her somewhat distorted face. Wu Pingping nonchalantly lifted her hair with a teasing look.
