Let them offer their loyalty

But he still didn't tell the truth.

He didn't buy the wooden sign for decoration. In fact, when he saw the wooden sign for the first time, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

This feeling of palpitations had no reason, just like the white-haired little girl on the tentacle throne he saw in the void when his psychic powers awakened for the first time.

There is no doubt that this wooden sign is related to the virtual world.

Perhaps, the owner behind the Angus district who had been keeping an eye on them wanted to hand over the wooden sign to him?

This thought came to Jonas' mind, and then he quickly thought of another organization.

——The Void Realm Teaching.

PS: There are a lot of holes in this chapter, but they will be filled later)

I was planning to post this chapter during the day, but it ended up getting pushed until the early morning because my schedule was so uncomfortable.

Chapter 163: Then, five times is okay?

“This is the exhibit you took.”

The girl dressed as the bunny girl returned to the room at some point, holding the wooden box containing the nameplate in her hand.

"We will send you the certificate for this exhibit later... We hope you can take good care of it."

I have to say that the bad taste of this organizer behind the scenes is really hard to agree with. It is obviously a very normal auction, but he chose to make it look like a sex transaction scene.

Jonas took the wooden box from the girl, and then heard her continue speaking:

"Mr. Jonas, thank you for your strong support for this auction. Our master also wants to meet you, but unfortunately now is not the right time."

Jonas was stunned by the girl's words, and he soon realized who the master she was talking about was.

He was not surprised that the other party knew his identity. What he had encountered along the way had already shown that he had exposed himself before coming here.

But he still didn't know what the other party's purpose was, or...why he wanted to hand the nameplate to him.

"What is your master's purpose?"

Jonas frowned and asked.

The girl just shook her head and then answered:

"When the time is right, you will know."

——It’s the Riddler again.

Jonas resisted the urge to punch the Riddler in the face and said unhappily:

"Then tell your master that I don't associate with those cowards who hide their heads and show their tails."

At least from the information known now, the other party has no ill intentions... After all, if the other party wants to capture him on his own territory, it would be a matter of minutes.

And the nameplate that the other party indirectly handed to him didn't seem simple either. If it was to set up a trap, there would be no need to go to so much trouble.

As for the information Jonas knows now, it seems that the only thing is that the other party may have a certain connection with the Void Realm Sect, and he knows nothing else.

The person who can control the entire Angus area and the black market actually has very terrifying power. If the other party is interested in making friends with him, he doesn't mind having one more friend.

But if the other party is secretive, then there is no point in making friends with him.

After hearing Jonas' words, the girl did not have any major emotional fluctuations. She seemed to be noncommittal about Jonas's comments. She bowed slightly and said:

"The master is also deeply sorry for the temptation he has experienced along the way. As an apology, we will have someone to take you back to the Alte District."

"no need."

Having said this, Jonas glanced at Miss Eiffel beside him, and both of them understood what each other meant.

He put away the wooden box and walked out the door.

The girl never spoke, but just bowed slightly after Jonas left.

The girl's voice came from behind.

“Looking forward to seeing you next time.”

.................................

After leaving the Angus area, they did not encounter any accidents along the way and returned to the Alte area.

In fact, with Jonas's current level of psychic awakening, ordinary emergencies will not pose a threat.

But Miss Eiffel didn't know this, so she was very cautious along the way.

After all, in her impression, Mr. Jonas was just a powerless capitalist, and his safety depended on her. Miss Eiffel naturally wanted to eliminate all threats.

This character of liking to handle everything properly saved Jonas a lot of trouble. This trip alone with Miss Eiffel also gave Jonas a deeper understanding of the girl's maternal attributes.

"Mr. Jonas, do you need me to investigate the behind-the-scenes organizer of the Angus District black market?"

After returning to the office, Eiffel's tense heart finally relaxed. She looked at Jonas lying on the chair in front of her and spoke in a questioning tone.

What was thought to be a simple itinerary turned out to be a lot of things. In Eiffel's opinion, this was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on her part.

The most urgent task is to find out the identity of the behind-the-scenes organizer of the Angus area, so as not to be too passive when the other party takes action.

After all, no one knows what the purpose and motivation of the person behind the scenes is. With the resources controlled by the other party, if he really has plans for Alte Company, it will undoubtedly be a big trouble for Jonas.

"Well, it would be best if we could find out the other party's identity... I will let Iris assist you."

At this point, Jonas seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"What is Elise doing these days?"

It has been a long time since Jonas last paid attention to the little girl's situation. When he thought of Miss Elise, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

When Eiffel heard Jonas' question, he was stunned at first, and then his face looked a little strange, as if he had thought of something.

"She's been... I'm not sure what to say. I suggest Mr. Jonas go and see for himself."

The last time I saw Iris, the girl had developed some strange hobbies. Although I don’t know how she is doing now, those hobbies should not have changed.

Although it is a very girlish hobby, I don’t know why it always feels a bit creepy.

Looking at Miss Eiffel's reaction, Jonas felt a little strange, but he didn't dwell on it. He just thought about meeting Miss Elise after a while, and soon forgot about the girl's reaction.

"Okay, I understand. I'll find time to go see her."

Hearing this, Miss Eiffel nodded, and then said:

"Then I will go collect relevant information about the Angus area..."

At this point, Eiffel seemed to have thought of something and spoke:

"Oh, by the way, I have already arranged the nanomedical machinery project for you, but some of our previous partners are very dissatisfied with our 'hostile takeover' of their shares and have applied to the arbitration bureau for intervention. Although it will not have much impact, please do not let your guard down."

After Miss Eiffel finished speaking, she stood up and said goodbye, leaving Jonas alone in the office.

After a while, Jonas shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter. Instead, he turned his attention to the nameplate he bought from the black market in Angus District.

This is a very small nameplate with words engraved on it that are invisible to the naked eye.

The nameplate feels like it's made of wood, but judging from the description given by the auctioneer, the material of the nameplate seems unknown.

After playing with the nameplate in his hand for a while, Jonas was unable to discover any clues from it, and the initial excitement disappeared like an illusion.

No matter how Jonas fiddled with the plaque, he was unable to successfully replicate the palpitations Jonas felt when he first saw the plaque.

Over time, Jonas gave up this idea, put away the nameplate, and stopped studying this prop that seemed to be connected to the virtual world.

After all, Jonas had no way of determining the true function of the nameplate, and since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he let the matter go.

If this nameplate really has a connection with the virtual world, Jonas can also use it to deepen the communication between his spiritual power and the virtual world. But if it is just an ordinary wooden nameplate, it is not a big loss for Jonas.

But at this moment, a light bulb went off in Jonas's head, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he took out the nameplate again.

Then, he began to compare the characters on the nameplate one by one, trying to use psychic power to connect the channels represented by those characters.

At the moment when the spiritual energy came into contact with the wooden sign, Jonas's brain seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, and countless images emerged in his mind.

Interstellar battleships, endless seas of insects, fully armed soldiers fighting, and strange-looking alien insects.

It was like someone began whispering in his head, the last prayers of a dying man.

These whispers of despair or relief began to echo in Jonas's mind, and he shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away all these distracting thoughts.

Just after the slide-like picture in his mind finished playing, Jonas finally recovered from his previous state. He was gasping for breath, like a drowning man who had just been pulled ashore, with a look of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

——Was that just now an illusion?

Or is it something that has already happened?

Does the human civilization of the last era really exist in the long river of history?

Jonas couldn't tell whether what he had just seen was information stored by humans in the last era using some means, or a simple illusion.

But there is no doubt that the images seen in memory are far from reaching that level with current human technology.

He rubbed his brows, with lingering shock still in his eyes.

After spending a long time sorting out his emotions, Jonas finally adjusted his state.

This news was really beyond Jonas's expectations. After all, he didn't know the background of the entire game. Most of the information he knew took place in District 25. Even if he knew more details, it was just a glimpse of the whole story.

I originally thought that these big backgrounds had little to do with me, but now it seems...my original guess may not be accurate.

Old humans... the last era?

................................

Alte Consortium, Cybersecurity Division.

When was the last time Miss Elise and Jonas met?

If I'm not mistaken, it should be six days, seven hours and fifty-three minutes ago.

Because Jonas has been very busy with work recently, he has not come to see Miss Ellis for a long time.

So, bored Miss Ellis began to develop new hobbies to pass the time when Mr. Jonas was away.

For example...knitting clothes.

It sounds like a very lovely hobby. The girl pours her love into needle and thread, weaving her love bit by bit. It is a very romantic thing no matter how you think about it.

But for some reason, Miss Elise's hobby gradually developed into knitting dolls... If this was still normal, then the girl's subsequent behavior was a bit abnormal.

She began knitting dolls based on Jonas.

Of course, it is not the legendary voodoo doll or cursed doll, but just a simple, cute doll.

——It seems to be inseparable from pouring out love?

In the network security department, Miss Elise was holding a doll about 50 centimeters long in her arms, with black hair and black eyes. It was obvious who the prototype was.

The girl was holding the doll, looking into the doll's eyes, and she spoke as if she was talking to herself:

"When can Mr. Jonas come to see me..."

As she said this, she buried the doll in her arms and sighed softly.

The surrounding bookshelves were filled with clothes and dolls that she had knitted some time ago, and the speed of the girl's progress was obvious to the naked eye.

"If Miss Elise wants to see me, she only needs to send a message to my communication."

The man's slightly helpless voice sounded, and Elise almost jumped up as if she was frightened by something.

"Mr. Jonas?"

Iris obviously didn't expect the other party to come to her at this time. The girl's cheeks turned completely red, as if she was ashamed of her previous behavior.

After hearing Jonas' words, Iris took a long time to react, and said in a soft voice:

"Because I'm worried about disturbing Mr. Jonas..."

What's more, compared to a year ago, she is already very happy now, and the girl dare not ask for too much.

Jonas couldn't help but rub his brows when he heard that. The girl was too self-conscious, which made her afraid to fight for something she could have.

If it were Miss Esni, she might have already had a fever over communications.

Jonas looked at the girl in front of him, not knowing what to say.
