Let them offer their loyalty

Jonas stopped playing coy with the other party and looked into his eyes and suddenly asked.

Beigong Ling was suddenly startled and subconsciously thought that the other party had already known the secret under the Mika area, but then she thought that if the other party had already found it, he would not come to her for verification.

In other words, these are just the other party's suspicions and speculations.

But now that I've been suspected, no matter how well I disguise myself, the truth will eventually be exposed.

Therefore, Beigong Ling decisively abandoned this condition which could serve as her trump card in the future, and instead used it as a bargaining chip to exchange for current interests.

She also looked into Jonas' eyes and asked:

"What will I get if I tell you?"

Jonas said calmly:

"Gain my trust."

Although it sounds like getting something for nothing, Beigong Ling is actually very clear that the other party's words are actually a very important condition for breaking the current predicament.

If she is always under Jonas' surveillance, then even if the other party regrets or changes his mind in the future, she will have no means of checks and balances.

If she had the qualifications to fight to the death before, then now Beigong Ling is undoubtedly restricted in all her room for maneuver.

In other words, if Jonas wanted to, he could devour the Morning Star bit by bit.

Beigong Ling didn't like the feeling of leaving her fate entirely to the other party, so she urgently needed an opportunity to break the status quo.

Originally, she wanted to show her own value in the incident of the Void Realm Sect, and then use the secret under the Mika District as a bargaining chip to buy her freedom, but now it seems that she can only throw out this trump card in advance.

After taking a deep breath, Beigong Ling said:

"I hope you can keep your word..."

After saying this, she raised her head as if she had made up her mind and said:

"Now, take me to the Mika District... I'll tell you what you want to know."

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

Mika District, underground base.

In fact, as the former underground base of the Dawn Star, only a few people know about this place.

This is why Jonas was able to use the information gap to exchange control of the Mika District with the consortium that controls the Mika District.

Because of what happened with Miss Elise, Jonas never came back here after the incident, but left everything to Miss Eiffel.

So when he came here, Jonas brought Miss Eiffel with him as well.

Beigong Ling naturally had no power to decide who would accompany her, but she had heard of this [Deacon] a long time ago. She just didn't know why Miss Eiffel seemed to have a slight hostility towards her.

"The security system here has been reinforced, but I haven't had time to enter Mr. Jonas's permissions yet."

The iron door slowly opened and the elevator began to descend rapidly.

"Everything here has been explored almost completely. Just like the Dawn Star organization, there is nothing valuable here."

Eiffel's words made Beigong Ling raise her head. She frowned but did not refute.

Beigong Ling could probably guess where the other party's hostility came from, but she did not argue.

The secret hidden here can be said to be the foundation of the development of Dawn Star in recent years, and it is also the trump card of her deal with Jonas.

She doesn't like to get entangled in these verbal disputes with others. Whether it is valuable or not will be revealed soon.

The iron gate slowly opened, and the scene that appeared before Jonas was not much different from the scene when he came to rescue Ilis.

Beigong Ling walked out of the elevator, turned her head to look at Jonas, and then said:

"Follow me."

Eiffel couldn't help but frowned when he saw this scene, while Jonas followed without saying anything.

At the end of the road, at the corner, Beigong Ling stopped.

Then, something happened that Eiffel did not expect.

A circle of red light swept across Beigong Ling. Eiffel was very familiar with this scene.

——Iris recognition authentication, identity recognition system.

But before that, the Alte Group's testing team did not find anything unusual here.

This means that the security structure of this base is far beyond what Eiffel had previously predicted, or in other words, it is even far beyond the level of the Alte Foundation.

But if this is the case, things become contradictory again... If it really exceeds the security level of the Alt Foundation, how did they break in in the first place, and how did Dawn Star obtain this technology?

As if in response to her question, a passage appeared in front of Beigong Ling.

She said, "Here below is the secret you want to know."

"you...."

Before she finished her words, the collar on Beigong Ling's neck made a clicking sound. She felt a tingling sensation in her body. The medicine injected into the collar made her feel weak all over.

But the dose was so small that it wouldn't make her fall asleep.

She raised her head and looked at Jonas, who just smiled and said:

"This is just in case..."

"Then please Miss Beigong Ling take us down."

Hearing this, Beigong Ling suppressed the resentment and grievance in her heart.

——Where is the trust you promised?

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

PS: The late stage mentioned here does not refer to the late stage of the plot, but the late stage of the game, so you can rest assured.

This chapter has 4,000 words and was posted a little late.

Chapter 283: Still pretending, you are already A-faced but still pretending

Let’s not talk about what Miss Beigong Ling feels for now.

The so-called secret of the lower level of the Mika District that appeared before Jonas was indeed a bit surprising.

The passage opened, and at the end was a room with cold colors. Different from the feeling of the base outside, this room looked like no one had entered for a long time.

But there is one thing that is very strange. Although all the facilities look very old, there is not a speck of dust. The only person who knows about this place should be Beigong Ling. However, Beigong Ling has been staying in the Alte Group for the past month.

In other words, no one had been here for at least a month.

Beigong Ling walked to the center of the room, and the light around her brightened.

"Speaker authentication, retrieve data."

The girl opened her mouth slowly, and a cold electronic mechanical voice responded:

"The identity of the senator is being checked. The identity verification has passed."

As soon as the words fell, a holographic projection appeared in front of Beigong Ling. It seemed to be a lot of documents and information. She turned her head to look at Jonas and said:

"This is the...secret hidden beneath the Mika District."

Eiffel's pupils shrank, but he still suppressed his inner emotions and asked:

"what are these?"

"A gift left to us by previous civilizations...or, a legacy."

Beigong Ling spoke these words slowly, not caring what the person in front of her thought, and said:

"There are many records here that go beyond modern technology, as well as information on psychic powers."

"It's a pity that the content I deciphered is very limited...only a small part of it can be applied to the Dawn Star."

Another major reason is that the resources possessed by the Dawn Star are too few. Even if she deciphers powerful enough weapon information or psychic-related potions, it will take at least several years to reproduce them given the Dawn Star's background and resources.

Beigong Ling paused, then said:

"If it weren't for this reason, I don't think the cooperation between Mr. Jonas and I would be what it is now."

Jonas found this somewhat amusing, but he did not expose the other person's words which were intended to maintain his self-esteem.

Admittedly, there was some self-praise in what the girl said. But what she was right about was that if Dawn Star continued to grow for a few more years as expected, the situation might really be beyond Jonas' control.

From this point of view, the tragic ending of the original body in the plot is not difficult to understand... The Star of Dawn is not a completely homemade team, and Miss Beigong Ling's "background" is somewhat beyond Jonas's expectations.

"The pre-civilization you mentioned..."

As if she had guessed what the other party might ask, Beigong Ling shook her head and then said:

"I don't know much about these... I just know that it is a civilization that appeared before the era... before the emergence of the Federation and the wilderness."

"How do you know all this..." Eiffel asked after hesitating for a moment.

Although the other party's statement was a bit unbelievable, Eiffel still believed part of it.

Firstly, given the other party's current situation, there is no benefit in making up such a lie; secondly, the level of technology displayed here is indeed far beyond the top of District 25.

How can the researchers of Dawn Star figure out something that even the Alte Foundation cannot do?

Hearing Eiffel's question, Beigong Ling glanced at Jonas and said:

"I think Mr. Jonas should know this better."

The other party once revealed her identity...the heir to the legacy of the previous civilization. Although it is unknown how the other party knew these things, it is obvious that Jonas's identity is also not simple.

This is also another major reason why she is willing to sign that cooperation agreement with the other party.

Her intuition told her that Jonas was the same kind of person as her.

Jonas did not answer. Instead, he looked around and turned to look at Beigong Ling, then said slowly:

"I have to say, Miss Beigong Ling's move really easily won my trust... But have you ever thought about what you would do if I didn't intend to fulfill my promise?"

Hearing this, Beigong Ling did not show any panic or anger on her face, but spoke calmly:

"All the information here is only accessible to me. Even if Mr. Jonas breaks the contract, you won't be able to find another person in District 25 who knows the language of the ancient civilization."

As she said this, the holographically projected data behind her began to flip continuously. The text on it could not be connected to any of the languages ​​included in the Federation. This was a completely new language system.

This is also the reason why Beigong Ling is so confident.

"It's a very smart choice... and Miss Beigong Ling has indeed found the right partner."

Hearing this, Jonas grinned.

"From now on, Dawn Star will become the organization with the highest degree of freedom in the Alt Foundation, and I will not interfere with Miss Beigong Ling's decision-making."

Beigong Ling's eyes moved slightly. This was also what she needed most at the moment. Before determining Jonas's true purpose, she had to get rid of his restrictions.

"What do I have to give?"

"So far, all the information that Miss Beigong Ling has deciphered in the future will be shared with the Alte Foundation."

Hearing this condition, Beigong Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Using this to exchange for the freedom of the Dawn Star is still acceptable to Beigong Ling.

The value of the information shared in the short term is not too high... The Alte Foundation cannot gain an overwhelming advantage because of this. Once she realizes that Jonas's ideas or practices are different from what she said before, she can withdraw.

And if it is a long-term cooperation, it means that Jonas has already gained her recognition... In this case, there is nothing wrong with maintaining this kind of relationship with the other party.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you."

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

Legacy of a former civilization.

For the Alte Group, this thing is like opening a technology tree that leads directly to the top.

Although he had guessed it in his mind, when he heard Beigong Ling admit it, Jonas couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

No wonder in the game, the scientific research team of Dawn Star is set up as a group of amateur scientists, but they can always develop very powerful weapons.

It turns out that the technology tree has already been maxed out, it just takes time to unlock it.

But now, he also got the golden finger from the protagonist, which made Jonas feel much more at ease.

"That Beigong Ling left the Alte Group around 3 o'clock this afternoon. Do we need our people to continue monitoring her movements?"
