Chapter 6: The Lord of the Void Realm: I Want You to Be His Dog (K)

This is a memorable day. As is the custom in the past, the 25th District will hold a costume festival on the streets.

Virtually projected beasts of all kinds are baring their fangs and claws in the air, and representatives of different cultures from all over the world are dividing different areas. Holographically projected virtual girls are dancing inappropriately on the streets, and all kinds of mixed information are filling people's eyes. Of course, people also enjoy the cultural impact brought by this mixed information.

In fact, there have been quite a few festivals since the establishment of District 25, but most of them have been eliminated. After all, for capitalists, too many festivals may not necessarily be a good thing.

Of course, the survival of this kind of festival is often inseparable from these people...If you want to further exploit the resources in people's hands, then designing consumerist traps in festivals becomes an indispensable link.

As the most important part of the marketing process, the meaning of this festival is "freedom".

——Advocate freedom, abandon the mask and face yourself.

This is why this festival is called "Makeup Festival".

On days like this, people use makeup to express their true inner thoughts and pursue true "freedom" that is not bound by worldly constraints.

This seems to coincide with the thoughts of most workers in District 25. In such a depressing and desperate environment, having a festival where people can vent their emotions is naturally a good thing for them... and on this day, people tend to indulge their desires, follow their inner "freedom" to consume, and buy things that they would never dare to think about under normal circumstances.

The financial groups in the 25th district also seized on this point and carried out "sales promotions" on this day to increase consumers' desire to buy.

Such a festival that is in the interests of "everyone" has naturally been preserved as a tradition.

Regardless of the meaning behind these things, such a grand festival is indeed a rare event for District 25, so the streets became bustling again after a long time.

The originally deserted streets became crowded at this time. People were walking on the streets wearing different clothes. Among them, there was a group of people who were quite conspicuous even among the mixed crowd.

They wore the same black clothes. The simple design and the emblem on their chests that looked like a divine emblem perfectly displayed their aura of keeping strangers away.

These people's attire is somewhat similar to that of members of a certain church, but few people recognize the divine emblem... Of course, this kind of attire is not abnormal. After all, on days like the Masquerade Festival, there are many people who gather together because of certain interests and hobbies and wear the same uniform.

So they were naturally considered as one of these groups and did not attract much attention.

However, what people don’t know is that the girl with a white veil walking in the center of this group of people is the key figure who stirred up the turmoil in District 25 some time ago.

——Afanisi, the Saint of the Void Realm Church.

At this time, she followed the crowd, and no one noticed that she was surrounded by believers of the Void Realm Sect.

To be precise, those around her are all members of the Void Realm Cult who have awakened their psychic powers.

Compared with her last conservative move, this time Afanisi did not hold back at all and summoned nearly 80% of the backbone forces of the Void Realm Sect... Of course, to be on the safe side, she did not withdraw all the forces of the Void Realm Sect, but left nearly 20% of the forces to guard the statue.

After all, the statue was a necessary backup for their retreat.

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

Alte Group, intelligence department.

As a sub-department of the Cyber ​​Security Department, it has considerable authority to call upon the Cyber ​​Security Department's big data system.

Of course, such important secrets cannot be leaked, so members of the intelligence department have all undergone very strict trust assessments.

From family situation, to interpersonal relationships, to personality analysis, no matter which link has a problem, Jonas will expel the person from the intelligence department without hesitation.

The person in charge of the intelligence department is none other than Miss [Nightingale] Nora.

After completing several missions, Jonas's trust level in Miss Nora increased a lot... The side effects of resisting psychic power that was promised at the beginning were not mentioned by either of them later.

Firstly, Miss Nora's psychic out-of-control symptoms had not appeared again after Jonas's several "patience trainings", and secondly, the two had reached some kind of new consensus.

Compared to Miss Nora's previous life of hiding, her life now is undoubtedly much more comfortable...

Even though Miss Nora said that she hated Jonas, she had to admit that staying in the Alte Group and serving them was the best choice.

Under duress, Nora had no choice but to join the pirate ship... Just like the routine in most stories, Miss Nora experienced the beauty of being a company dog, but she refused to give up her previous ideas due to her self-esteem. Until now, even though she can't leave the company physically and mentally, she still has to say: "I was forced to do it." "You gave me such an important task, be careful that I will betray you." "I will run away when I get the potion, and then sell all the information I got from the Alte Foundation to other foundations at a low price."

Having said that, Jonas was not worried at all that the other party would actually do so.

Miss Nora is a pure hypocrite who speaks with a straight face but acts honestly, and Jonas sees through her stubborn behavior but does not say anything.

He was watching the other party's performance. When he learned that he could be in charge of the intelligence department, he looked disgusted as if he had arranged for him to clean the toilet. However, after he left, he was so happy that he wanted to jump up...

In the company, the trust Jonas showed was often just what the other party wanted to see. But it is undeniable that this technique is very effective for most employees.

——Ms. Youkas, who was appointed as the deputy director of the security department, felt the same way.

Ahem, that seems to have gone a bit off topic.

Even though most of the consortium's employees had already gone on holiday, the intelligence department of the Alte Consortium chose to work overtime on this day.

Of course, in return, the employees received overtime pay that day that was nearly ten times their usual daily wage.

This is both overtime pay and hush money.

As an old silver coin with insight into people's hearts, Jonas had long anticipated the possible movements of the Void Realm Sect.

After learning from Tianyu's youngest son that the Xujing Sect had not given up on attacking the Alte Group, he knew that this day would inevitably come.

Freedom Day, this is not an ordinary day, neither for ordinary people nor for Jonas.

Jonas also put himself in Afanisi's position and thought about how to make a plan if he wanted to take back the black ring in his body.

The only feasible plan is to create large-scale chaos on a special day, obstruct the actions of the Arbitration Bureau and the peacekeeping forces, and then take this opportunity to attack the Alte Consortium in one fell swoop, and finally capture Jonas alive and force or separate the black ring in his body through some method.

If you think about it this way, the ultimate goal of all those who are against you is often to capture you alive.

This is the case with Beigong Ling and Tianyu's youngest son. Up to now, although Afanisi's purpose has deviated, his general idea has not changed.

This gave Jonas the illusion that he was not a villain, but a sleazy heroine.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Jonas looked at the report sent by Miss Nora.

The content of the report was exactly the important information he had ordered the intelligence department to collect...If they wanted to create large-scale chaos, they had to do it in a place far away from the Alte District and where there were large crowds of people gathered.

However, the screening criteria for these areas are too broad, and more conditions must be used for further refinement to determine the specific location.

After all, if he wanted to prevent danger in advance, Jonas had to lock on to a few of the most suspicious locations. After all, the power of the Arbitration Bureau and the peacekeeping force was limited, and dispersing too much at once could easily backfire.

The report submitted by Miss Nora is exactly the suspicious area further screened out by the intelligence department of the Alt Foundation.

After briefly browsing the contents of the document, Jonas looked up at Miss Nightingale in front of him and asked:

"Is there anything unusual happening around the Alte District?"

Miss Nora heard this and silently took out another document. The electronic file was transferred to Jonas, and what came into view was the members of the Void Realm Cult mixed in with the crowd.

"These are photos we found on the Internet. We checked the surveillance cameras along the way... They didn't do much, they just stayed for a while before passing the Alte District, and then disappeared into the alley."

Hearing this, Jonas narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he was just a member of the Void Realm Sect, blending in with the crowd, he could be understood as someone trying to scout out the route and plan a better attack plan.

But a group of people appeared near the Alte District, wearing the uniforms of the Void Realm Sect, fearing that others would not recognize them. This behavior was very intriguing.

The only thing Jonas could think of was that the other party's purpose was to put psychological pressure on the Alte Group... but this behavior was useless and stupid. Based on his understanding of Miss Afanisi, the other party would not do such a boring thing.

If it was the Xujing Sect, which had previously been unable to estimate its own strength and was arrogant and conceited, it would be understandable that they did such a thing.

But now Miss Afanisi is clearly aware of the hidden power of the Alt Foundation, and she is doing this... to divert their attention?

Jonas shook his head and did not let the other party's behavior affect his judgment. Instead, he instructed the other party:

"Leave these possible accident sites to Miss Carroll."

Hearing this, Nora's expression froze, as if she didn't expect the other party to say this suddenly. She pointed at herself and confirmed:

"You want me to do it?"

She didn't even have the contact information of Miss Carol, so Jonas' sudden order naturally confused Miss Nora.

But after she realized it, Miss Nora's mood also inexplicably improved. This kind of information transfer work is actually quite important, and it is usually done by Jonas himself or by the secretary. The other party subconsciously said this, does it mean that the level of trust in the other party's heart has reached the same level as that of Eiffel?

She pouted proudly, without revealing too much of her emotions.

"Cough cough." As if realizing his mistake, Jonas coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

He certainly wouldn't say that he was so used to giving Eiffel orders that he was unable to react for a moment.

"It's okay, you can go first, just leave the documents here."

"It doesn't matter if I do more work, just give me a raise." Miss Nora said with a smile: "Of course, if you are willing to give me the secretary's job, I might consider staying in the Alt Group for the rest of my life."

"That's a good idea." Jonas said unhappily, "Get lost now."

"How rude." Nora put away her playful expression, pouted her lips, put down the documents, and walked towards the elevator.

Just when the girl walked to the elevator door, the elevator door suddenly opened.

Standing behind the door was Miss Eiffel, and the girl glanced at her expressionlessly.

Nora was startled and her body froze. She didn't react until the other party walked out of the elevator.

The look in the other person's eyes just now was so terrifying that Miss Nora broke out in a cold sweat. She stood there for a long time before turning around to look at Miss Eiffel again.

If the other party just came up, he probably didn't hear what I said...right?

But what was with the look in the other person’s eyes just now? It felt like I was about to be eaten.

For some reason, Miss Nora felt a little uneasy, as if a cat was caught stealing fish.

She walked into the elevator and the feeling only eased a little when the doors closed.

After calming down, Nora couldn't help feeling annoyed. She thought her mentality was too cowardly.

Thinking back to Miss Eiffel's look just now, Nora still felt a little scared.

——Eiffel won’t make things difficult for himself, will he?

Shaking her head, she pushed her thoughts away.

——No, no, she probably didn’t hear what I just said.

Nora comforted herself in this way.

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

What is the actual situation?

In Jonas' office, Eiffel put the coffee on Jonas's desk as if he hadn't heard anything and said:

"I saw that you looked a little tired, so I made you some coffee."

"Well...thank you for the trouble." Jonas couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Eiffel looking calm.

It seems that the other party did not see what happened just now.

Miss Eiffel is good in every way, except that she is quite serious about some things...or in other words, she gets jealous easily.

Miss Eiffel has always been calm and composed, and this calmness may be the so-called "leniency of the first wife". But this does not mean that Miss Eiffel does not care about anything...

She just didn't care that there were other people around Jonas, and the girl always believed that her position next to Mr. Jonas was irreplaceable.

Because of this, when anyone tries to take her position, she will put away her usual nonchalant attitude and let the other party know the methods of the Deacon of District 25.

"Doesn't Mr. Jonas have something to give me?"

Just as Jonas was thinking, the girl's words suddenly rang out.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was talking about the document in his hand.

This also means that the other party heard everything that he had just said to Nora.

As if he had guessed what Jonas was thinking, Eiffel sighed and then spoke:

"Mr. Jonas, don't worry. I'm not such a stingy person...or rather, I'm still very confident that no one can replace my work."

"That's good."

Seeing Jonas heaved a sigh of relief, Eiffel tilted his head and asked:

"Why do I feel that Mr. Jonas is a little disappointed?"

"I felt a little disappointed because I didn't see Miss Eiffel getting jealous," Jonas told the truth.

Hearing this, Eiffel couldn't help but speak quietly:

"I just don't want to appear too petty in front of Mr. Jonas."

"Hmm... then it seems that we need to increase the excitement a little bit?" Jonas grinned and said, "How about I give Miss Eiffel a vacation and really let Nora be my secretary for a while?"
