Chapter 139 Mutual Aid Group
After retrieving Lu Yezhou, Lu Linbei thought about many things and understood many things.
"Everything revolves around Zhao Didian, and Guan Zhuqian's goal has never changed. She took Chen Manchi away to integrate her consciousness with Zhao Didian. The game is the first step, allowing Chen Manchi to get used to the 'life' state of the program , the second step is to accept mechanized transformation like "Iron Fist" Wen Bian, or like the players on the Longitude and Latitude, learn to control the robot with thoughts, and the third step is to formally integrate. The real process may be more complicated, but I think The process won’t change.”
Mei Wangzhen did not respond immediately, surprised by his analysis results and his emotionless voice, as if he was not talking about his fiancée, but someone he had no relationship with.
After a long time, she said: "Where do you think Chen Manchi is now?"
"I hope it's the first step." Lu Linbei showed a smile, "It might also be the second step. Guan Zhuqian will regret it."
"She will regret it." Mei Wangzhen said without a smile on his face.
"First, we have to stop her from seizing the Longitude and Latitude."
"Did the long-haired man admit that he did things for her?"
"No, he said he didn't know Guan Zhuqian, but he was just the executor, and there were commanders behind him. They were all members of the mutual aid group."
"Interstellar orphan support group?"
"Yes. I remember that when Sister Zhen was investigating extremist organizations, she removed the engine organization and joined the mutual aid group. What signs of it caught your attention?"
Mei Wangzhen smiled slightly and was about to speak when the microcomputer beside Lu Linbei made a sound.
"The network switch was successful, please wait for me." Lu Linbei entered the secret passage and checked the letter from Li Feng.
There were three letters in total. The first one continued the previous urgency, asking where Lu Linbei was and what he was doing. The second letter was a bit apologetic, using the word "sorry."
"0106 has a self-protection function and can bring you back to reality at any time, but I want to find out the truth, so I let you two stay in the robot's program for a while. Who would have thought that that kid would hesitate? Why should he hesitate? ? Staying too comfortable? Fortunately, you brought him out without causing too much trouble. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance, but I wanted to see your instinctive reaction, so this is the only way."
The third letter is to answer questions.
"I had two doubts before, but now they are all solved. First, the player's behavior will not be written into the robot's program. After leaving, the robot will return to its original state. It is actually the players who will be affected. Most people will become more addicted to the game. . Second, the worst possibility may become reality. The player does not control the robot remotely, but integrates with the program in some way. This is something that neither I nor my friends can do. The things stolen from the spaceship must be This is it. It may be a module of Zhao Didian. If this is the case, the scientific research center has failed in its duty. It has been studying it for so long and did not find that it has a program module that can be separated. At the same time, I said that Zhao Didian is not on the spacecraft. This guess may be wrong: the program is indeed on the spacecraft, separates a module, hands it to the stealer, causes trouble on the Longitude and Latitude, and cooperates inside and outside to provide an opportunity to escape."
"That's all I can tell you. I'm going to continue looking for Xiaoman and Guan Zhuqian. It's really strange that they are nowhere to be seen on the seven planets. Could it be that they are hiding in the void?"
Lu Linbei replied to a text message, writing down his guess, and finally said: "They may be in the game."
Opposite me, Mei Wangzhen also opened his microcomputer, found some information, raised his head and said, "Want to hear how I noticed the mutual aid group?"
Lu Linbei nodded.
"There are many extremist organizations, and Si Li has been paying attention to three of them, Future Whip, 1090 and Engine. I also investigated these three at the beginning, and then when I was tracking Nong Xingwen's background, I noticed a phenomenon: Nong Xingwen Xingwen is an interstellar orphan, but most of the extremists he persuaded are not orphans. Some of them are children of big families. And Nong Xingwen was accidentally discovered by you. If not, he would probably have been imprisoned for one or two years. freed."
"Um."
"What I care about is not identity, but coincidence." Mei Wangzhen added an explanation.
Lu Linbei smiled and said, "I understand."
"Of course, it was later proven that Nong Xingwen was just a 'tentacle' of Zhao Didian, and Zhao Didian never showed in his confession that he cared about the difference in identity."
Lu Linbei nodded again and began to understand what Mei Wang meant.
"We all know that although Zhao Didian has special abilities, he needs guidance. Wang Chenwen, the Huang family, Guan Zhuqian, and even Nong Xingwen all guide and use Zhao Didian in the same way. So I thought, yes Who is deliberately bypassing interstellar orphans? In terms of difficulty of persuasion, orphans should be easier. Of course, there is a seemingly reasonable explanation: valuable extremists are usually family children, and persuading them is more successful. But this That still doesn't explain the low ratio."
"Sister Zhen always says that she is not good at analysis." Lu Linbei said with a smile.
"Haha, it took me nearly half a year to notice a very simple thing. What kind of analytical ability is that?"
"More people haven't noticed until now."
Mei Wangzhen also smiled and said, "Okay, I accept the compliment. But I will disappoint you next. I didn't find anything out of the investigation, and then many things happened, and everything was interrupted."
"No clue?"
"It's not that there aren't any, it's that there are too many to start with. Those orphans...Old Bei, can I ask a question that might be too much?"
"There are no excessive issues between us."
"You are an interstellar orphan. Do you think...it's fair?"
"Well, I don't think it's fair."
“Is it the farm, or is it society as a whole?”
"It's not fair."
Mei Wangzhen forced a smile, "I always thought that the farm...well, it is indeed unfair, but I rarely put myself in your and Ye Zi's shoes."
"That's not necessary, because we are not dissatisfied. The farm and society are unfair, but they do not block all our paths." Lu Linbei smiled, "Some people are born social activists, and some people are not. Neither Ye Zi nor I are, so we rarely think about whether it's 'fair' or not, and would rather do our own thing first."
"On the contrary, many children of the family feel unfair, and they are all born social activists?"
"I don't know, if I use the origin theory to explain it: there will always be various types of people. For example, if the Huang family chooses war, there will be some families who oppose the war. It is inevitable."
"Why did you start talking about the origin?" Mei Wangzhen hurriedly stopped the topic from extending. "Among the major extremist organizations, mutual aid groups have the most members and are the most difficult to investigate. They are a mixed bag of good and bad, and many members join other organizations at the same time. My current results are just We have sorted out a general organizational framework and conducted background checks on some important figures, but no clues worth paying attention to have been found.”
Mei Wangzhen handed over the microcomputer, which contained some information she had collected.
Lu Linbei quickly took a look.
The Interstellar Orphan Mutual Aid Group is spread across the seven planets, and there are branches on the king planets. However, the organization is scattered and there is relatively little communication between planets. Even the major cities on the same planet operate independently. It is precisely because of this that mutual aid groups with many members can It didn't receive much official attention.
Mei Wangzhen put forward his own opinion in a report: The dispersion of the organization is only superficial, and the mutual aid group is like a filter, attracting those dissatisfied orphans and then transporting them to other extremist organizations. Although there is no clear evidence yet, I have reason to suspect that there is a tight core circle hidden within the mutual aid group.
Mei Wangzhen hoped to increase manpower and funds, but she did not get the approval of the con man and her third uncle. When she was "exiled", the investigation ended.
There were many videos and pictures in the information. The more Lu Linbei read, the more immersed he became. Mei Wangzhen stood up and said, "I have to force myself to read these things, but you actually read them with gusto."
Lu Linbei raised his head blankly, not hearing what she was saying.
Mei Wangzhen smiled and said, "I'm going to rest. You can watch slowly."
I don't know what time it was, but Lu Yezhou finally woke up, entered the living room, and asked, "Old Bei, you're not asleep yet? Why don't you turn on the light?"
"Ah? Forgot." Lu Linbei rubbed his eyes. He had decided to go to bed later many times, but ended up delaying it until now. "What time is it?"
"It's almost eleven o'clock, I need to go to the toilet."
"Then there's no need to turn on the light, I'm going to have a rest soon."
Coming out of the bathroom, Lu Yezhou sat next to Lu Linbei, "What are you looking at?"
"Sister Zhen has collected a lot of information about mutual aid groups."
"We all say that we are interstellar orphans, and he is so ruthless. I don't have a good impression of the mutual aid group."
"Don't expand too much. There are everyone in the mutual aid group, not all long-haired men, or even extremists. Many people are just looking for a sense of belonging."
"Not so with the farm orphans."
Lu Linbei smiled, because the data showed that there were not many farm orphans joining the mutual aid group.
"The real sister is back?"
"Well, she's resting. We all have to thank her. If she hadn't bought precious ten minutes from the network center, neither of us would have been able to come back."
Lu Yezhou shuddered, "Of course, but you don't need to say 'thank you' to Sister Zhen, we just have to remember it in our hearts. Have you caught that guy?"
"No news."
"I forgot, this is the Longitude and Latitude, and we won't be notified if there is any news. I'm going to sleep. No matter how powerful the robot is, I still like this body. You should go to bed early too."
"Right away." Lu Linbei said this. Once he started reading the information, he felt no sleepiness and had no idea how time was passing.
"Hey." Mei Wangzhen called softly.
Lu Linbei raised his head and said, "Sister Zhen, come and take a look."
"Do you know what time it is? You haven't slept all night, right?"
Lu Linbei was surprised to find that it was actually bright outside. He stayed for a while and said, "I'm not sleepy. Watch this video."
Mei Wangzhen shook his head helplessly, regretting handing the microcomputer to Lu Linbei. The information should have been given to him in batches, "Well, this is a rally held by the mutual aid group in Zhaijing. The stage is full of puppets. The real The person in charge is the small group next to the rostrum. You must have noticed that Nong Xingwen is among them. He is always like this, inconspicuous when there are many people, but once face to face... Fortunately, he was arrested. "
Lu Linbei saw Nong Xingwen, but that was not the reason why he paid special attention to this video.
"These two people." Lu Linbei pointed at two men in the crowd further away from the rostrum. They both had short hair. One of them raised his arm and waved twice. After a while, the two men turned their heads at the same time. They were greeting acquaintances, and their faces were captured on surveillance.
Lu Linbei fixed the scene at this moment, "He was the long-haired man who trapped Ye Zi and me. His hair was not that long at the time."
Mei Wangzhen looked at it carefully for a while, "What a pity. He was standing in the crowd and we didn't conduct any investigation on him."
"It doesn't matter, because I have met this man." Lu Linbei pointed to another man, "He is now Ru Hongshang's royal director and screenwriter, and his name is Li Tingguan."
