……

"Hey, you two from the Fire Moth, I want to play a game with you..."

Ying looked at the loudspeaker in confusion. Seeing that Lin didn't move, she listened quietly to what the man had to say.

The voice was a synthesized one, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, young or old, and it had a slight electric and hoarse tone.

"You have been hiding in the dark all along, just like me now. You claim to be protecting humanity, but you are also conducting human experiments and killing each other, using the disaster of Honkai to glorify yourselves."

"Now, I want to play a game with you to verify whether you are really willing to give everything for humanity as you said..."

Chapter 50: The game ended before it even began

"Right now, there is deadly poison gas spreading in this room. If absorbed through the skin, inhalation for more than three hours will result in death."

"And the antidote that will keep you alive is somewhere in this house."

Ying glanced at Lin calmly. He still did nothing but looked around the room.

The room looked small and crowded. On a table not far away were two revolvers, with two bullets in the middle.

In addition, there are two props next to the table that are obviously used to restrain hands and feet.

"The two revolvers and the two bullets are the key to your leaving this room. Just load the bullets, put them on the restraints, tie your hands and feet, and then pull the trigger twice on your temples to open the door."

"Pay attention, both bullets must be loaded into the pistols and both pistols must be struck twice for the mechanism to take effect. Otherwise... you will never be able to leave here for the rest of your life."

……

It is obvious that this is a trap to induce cannibalism.

The man said that both bullets had to be loaded into a pistol, but he did not say that they had to be loaded into different pistols. In other words, after one party restrained the other party, he could load both bullets into one pistol and then pull the trigger twice.

It is true that loading different pistols will reduce the possibility of the same person being hit, but there is still a probability, and no one would bet on that one in six possibility.

It is better to let others bear one-third of the possibility than to bear one-sixth of the possibility yourself.

She was very proud of herself and thought this was a genius experiment. Although she didn't actually release poison gas and the two guns were inferior products that could only be pulled but not fired, it was this kind of game that would not actually lead to death that allowed the two survivors to see each other's true colors...

Come on, fight among yourselves, kill each other...

"Sakura, open the door."

The smile froze on his face again.

At Lin's command, Ying pulled out a new sword, came to the exit, and swung the sword three times casually. The door and wall that could not be destroyed even by missiles suddenly appeared as if they were cut by laser, and a new "door" appeared.

Wait, this script is wrong.

Isn't that a cold weapon? No matter how you look at it, it's just a Japanese sword, right?

What she didn't know was that after Mei took office, in order to prevent the previous weapons information from being leaked and someone from secretly developing new weapons, the weapons information of the R&D department was kept separately, and in accordance with Mei's usual fine style of "using paper files instead of electronic files if possible", so she had no idea how advanced the Fire Moth's weapons were.

She only knew that the Fire Moth was a mysterious organization that brought together the world's top talents and was at the forefront of technology, but she didn't expect that the level of advancement was a little too sci-fi.

She could clearly see the technological level of weapons in various countries after invading the national intranet, so she thought that the technological level of the Fire Moth would not be beyond her understanding.

As it turned out, she was wrong.

In the picture, Sakura easily destroyed all the rooms and mechanisms that she had worked so hard to build, causing her to hold her heart in pain.

This is too much. She has been preparing for the mechanism house for more than a year.

"Wait, wait a minute, why are they coming directly to my place?"

Suddenly she realized that the route Lin and his men were taking was exactly the entrance to the underground where she was, and she realized the seriousness of the problem.

……

Earlier, when the hacker announced the rules of his game, Lin observed the layout of the house and looked for the most likely location of the basement entrance.

In fact, he had already guessed the reason why Mei went to so much trouble to ask them to arrest the hacker, which was "Zhao'an".

When the hacker released the betting, Mei did not immediately order Prometheus II to isolate the hacker's intrusion and cancel the betting. He was probably afraid that the hacker would be alerted and disappear from the Fire Moth's internal network.

And they came in person probably to show Fire Moth's attitude and to give this hacker a little education. Of course, the most important thing is... to prevent him from escaping.

Although Prometheus II has now taken over the headquarters' system, its existence can isolate most hacker intrusions and manage almost everything, but in the final analysis, it is just an immature artificial intelligence. Mei and Velvet also have additional plans to be responsible for, and no one can improve the system of Prometheus II and the subsequent Prometheus series of artificial intelligence.

This hacker might have taken advantage of some loopholes in the internal defense of the Fire Moth after the sixth collapse, but it also proved his strength. He is the best choice for the Fire Moth, which is currently recruiting more people.

The poisonous pupa has always been responsible for tasks that are more related to human internal affairs, and this time it is no different.

After a while, they arrived at the location estimated by Lin, and as expected, the entrance to the basement was here.

As for the games in the middle, he did not look at them carefully, but a quick glance showed that they were just real games disguised as deadly. As for the so-called poison gas, it could not escape his helmet that was constantly collecting information about the surrounding gas.

Through this, he roughly understood what kind of person the hacker was.

"Lin, will he escape through other exits?" Ying asked Lin who was standing in front of the entrance.

"No, the terrain here is low-lying. Only this part of the ground can be used to build an underground place. The range is not very large. The texture of other ground is not good enough to build a passage. There is no possibility of other exits."

Lin gently pinched the lock on the entrance, and then he squeezed the lock into a disc and pulled it off, then he opened the door and walked down.

……

"Hahaha... Congratulations on completing the game. Did you two enjoy it?"

The masked woman in a black robe stood in front of the densely packed surveillance screens and forced a smile at the two people who walked in.

"..."

Lin looked at her without saying a word.

This is exactly the same as in the information, what a scary sight...

Only after she had truly experienced Lin's direct gaze did she realize that the rumors about Lin on the Fire Moth internal network were actually true.

"If you have fun, then go back quickly. I have something else to do, so we'll see you next time..."

"bass."

She laughed and turned around to leave, but she heard the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed. Her hair stood on end, the back of her neck felt bright, and she fell to the ground with her head spinning.

Ying, who was originally more than ten meters away from her, was now holding her hands tightly and holding the knife to the back of her neck.

"I ask, you tell."

Lin stood in front of her, looking down at her coldly.

Chapter 51 The Price of Maturity

"name."

"Chisu."

"Far Easterner?"

"Yes."

Ying was quite surprised. Including the man who called himself Chisushi, almost everyone present was from the Far East.

Three people from the Far East met in Australia?

Lin pulled off Qianqi's mask, and a pretty face with a forced expression appeared in front of him. She pretended to smile in a friendly way, but in front of the two cold-tempered soldiers, she looked like a shivering rabbit.

His lifeless light grey hair and slim body without any muscles showed that he had been hiding in such dark places for many years.

"Why did you invade the Fire Moth's intranet?" Lin asked directly. He had taken over the system here with a helmet and destroyed all the information leaked by the Fire Moth.

"Um, well, I said it was an accident, do you believe me?"

"..."

"Okay! Okay! Don't look at me like that!" Qianqi quickly stopped herself from making a joke that wasn't funny. She smiled and said, "Actually, I found traces of your contact with the Security Bureau on the internal network of the Shenzhou Security Bureau a few months ago. I followed the clues and found the contact address. Finally, I forged an identity from the Security Bureau and opened a connection to enter the internal network."

The hacker made it sound like it was easy, but in fact it took her more than four months from discovery to intrusion. If the intranet's defense hadn't been suddenly relaxed, she might not have been able to get in so quickly.

Afterwards, she forged an MSA-999 soldier identity, which allowed her to enter and exit the intranet freely, and the backdoor was never used again.

"I say, you are not going to kill me to silence me, are you? I, I remember that the way you deal with people who know the truth in your database is just to stop them from coming into contact with the Fire Moth. There shouldn't be any exceptions, right?" Qian Qi asked with a dry laugh when he saw Lin Mo thinking silently.

Lin motioned for Ying to let go and replied coldly, "No."

"Huh, that's good..."

"Sakura, take her away."

"Eh? Wait, what are you going to do?!"

Before Qiansu could react, Sakura chopped her on the back of the neck with a knife, and she fainted on the spot.

……

When she woke up again, she had come from underground to a strange place. It looked like the inside of a cabin, but the facilities here looked very sci-fi.

Lin was sitting opposite her, watching her quietly as she woke up.

"...Where am I?"

"On the transport plane bound for the 999th branch in Australia." Lin answered her, and then began to explain to her slowly, "From now on, you are the official MSA-, directly under the head of the R&D department of the Fire Moth headquarters, Mei."

"Wait a minute? What do you mean? I was summoned?"

Qianqi's mind worked quickly and she immediately realized the current situation. From the information in the Fire Moth's database, she knew that they had just experienced a hard battle recently and were short of manpower. If she was not let go, it was very likely that she would be "hired".

"Yes."

"No! I don't want to be the Fire Chaser who fights the front line of Honkai all day long! I want to enjoy my life before Honkai destroys the world. I don't want to die so soon!" Qianqi looked at Lin with tears in her eyes. "Can you bear to see a beautiful girl like me die on the battlefield?"

"First, you don't have the right to say 'no'. This is the price you pay for invading the Fire Moth. According to the previous regulations, you will actually be imprisoned in the Deepest Place."

When Sakura, who was standing by, heard the words "the deepest place", her brows slightly frowned.

"Second, you are joining the Fire Moth as a researcher and technician, not as a soldier. You will not go to the front line."

"Third." Lin crossed his arms and said indifferently, "In terms of beauty, Ying is prettier than you, and she is also a frontline fighter."

"Forest."

Ying couldn't help but call out to Lin, and after Lin turned around, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"……nothing."

……

"My lovely Xiaoqi, please just give me a look, just one look."

"No, Lin said that if Ai Li had the first time, there would definitely be a second time."

"What on earth did Lin teach you?"

Alicia was troubled by the stubborn girl. The girl covered her helmet and was careful not to let Alicia touch it. This scene seemed a little puzzling in the eyes of other team members, because the new girl seemed to be very familiar with their captain, but they had never seen her before.

Except for that familiar-looking helmet.

"But... Xiaoqi, you are getting cuter and cuter. You look less like Kevin and more like Lin." Alicia touched the girl's helmet and smiled lovingly, "It's really strange... Everyone is becoming the person they used to hate, but no one thinks it's bad."

Kevin once said that even Lin had a brief period of cheerfulness in high school.

Kevin did not elaborate on what Lin was like at that time, but Alysia guessed that those might be Lin's happiest and most emotional days.

From the moment Alicia met Lin, what she saw was the present Lin. In just a few months after he joined the Fire Moths, he turned back to the way he was before he met Kevin.

Kevin has now become a serious person, with a lot on his mind all day long, and most of the time, all we see is his back.

In the past few years since entering the Fire Moth, Alicia has seen many changes, the most numerous of which is in people.

Everyone stood behind the cordon that they once didn't want to step into, looked back at their former selves, and cut off all ties with them from then on.

So she doesn't want to change. She wants to be "Alisa" from beginning to end, to tell those who have changed that she is still here, and even if time flies, there will still be things that remain unchanged.

Even if it's just a little bit of warmth, it can bring a little comfort to these people who are fighting.

"Because Lin said that the process of a human becoming more mature is not to become gradually colder." At this time, the girl whispered, "True maturity should be more gentle."

"……puff."

Alicia burst out laughing, and then laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

The team members were used to it. Their captain always had some inexplicable funny points, and his smile didn't look ugly anyway, so they were used to it.

"Lin is always so strict in the way he raises his children. Xiaochu is the same, and so are you. Can't he use a more euphemistic way of saying it?"
