Chapter 1814: Chapter 431: Escorting the Ghost
The sound of the air being sliced through echoed again, this time coming from the source energy vessel from the Jiangbei District.
The Gu family source energy vessel swiftly descended, and a young man from the Changye Command Center rushed over with a letter clutched in his hands...
This scene left the Night Watcher Leader stunned.
In this day and age, are they really still delivering letters this way?
In the realm of [Lan Qie], that young man delivered the envelope. The Night Watcher Leader opened it directly, as the familiar spiritual aura condensed and spread from the envelope. It was exactly the aura of Mr. Gu’s [Infinite Scale] domain, impossible for anyone to counterfeit!
It really was Mr. Gu’s urgent message!
There were only two simple words in the letter.
"Send him."
And so, the bewildered Tomb Ghost was taken onto Lu Nanjin’s source energy vessel. It wasn’t until the vessel started that he realized what had happened.
"Why did you come so suddenly? Does the Madam want to see me?"
Tomb Ghost looked troubled: "Sending me on a source energy vessel might not be a good idea... you should know my passive attributes..."
"It’s fine, Huazhi is rich."
Lu Nanjin calmly said, "To send you to Jiangnan, Huazhi mobilized a total of twenty source energy vessels nearby to escort you. If one crashes, I’ll immediately switch you over... We’ll make sure you reach Da Du at the fastest speed possible."
Hearing this, Tomb Ghost was filled with a solemn expression.
"I know Huazhi is wealthy," he pursed his lips, cautiously asking, "but to make such a big deal just to take me back out of nowhere?"
He spoke while inspecting the environment inside the source energy vessel.
"Feel free to speak out, no need to worry about ’surveillance.’
Lu Nanjin saw through Tomb Ghost’s thoughts at a glance. She smiled and said lightly, "These source energy vessels all use a closed network, isolated from [Deep Sea]... conversations here won’t be recorded, and I’ve released the [Lan Qie] domain as an additional safeguard."
Tomb Ghost sighed with relief.
He patted his chest, feeling much more at ease, and muttered, "It’s a good thing you guys are thorough. When did you start using closed networks?"
"This technology has always existed."
Lu Nanjin shook her head, saying, "As the world’s most top-tier tech conglomerate, if all projects relied on [Deep Sea]... we’d have gone bust long ago."
The concept of a closed network is not a new term.
The earliest owner of the Huazhi Group was Lu Cheng, who was the highest leader of the Ancient Literature Society in the Jiangnan Region, and had long been skeptical of the existence of [Deep Sea].
Under such a backdrop, Huazhi developed an independent closed environment on the tenth underground level.
The aim was to have complete, independent control of the group’s own destiny.
After Zhao Xilai took over the group, he did not neglect this project; as for Lu Nanzhi... it goes without saying that today’s Huazhi is the base camp where the hermits of the Ancient Literature Society gather. What they do are secrets that cannot be known to [Deep Sea], and the use of closed network technology is already very mature within the Huazhi Group.
"I heard you’ve been in hibernation these days."
Lu Nanjin said calmly, "This is what’s happened in the past few days. Have a good look at it yourself."
She extracted a file from the Spirit Sea and transmitted it directly into Tomb Ghost’s Heart Lake.
...
...
The journey from the Tundra to Da Du was very smooth. Just as Tomb Ghost finished reviewing the files, the source energy vessel arrived at the top level of the Huazhi Building.
The events in Chanyi City, and that unreleased secret footage, left Tomb Ghost uneasy.
He witnessed the scene where "Gu Shen" was beheaded.
Because these matters weighed on his mind, he fell into deep thought momentarily, even overlooking the "miracle" of this journey.
Which is that he did not encounter any aerial disasters this time, and arrived at his destination safely and soundly, without incident.
It’s just that this matter was noticed by Lu Nanjin.
She led Tomb Ghost into the Huazhi Group’s secret elevator, directly to the tenth underground level, which serves as the meeting place for the "Neutral" organization. Zhuang Su, Qi Mo, and others have been conducting research here for six years, and the Neutrals have established an initial link between "Ancient Literature" and sealed objects, creating many incredible "Extraordinary Objects."
In normal times, Tomb Ghost would be very interested, willing to spend days and nights studying the internal structure of a sealed object.
But now, in his haste, he quickly reached the deepest part of Huazhi’s tenth level...
He’s spent many years here, so he knows it better than anyone else.
Tomb Ghost held his breath, waiting for the final secret door of the laboratory to open slowly.
...
...
"You’re here. Have you understood everything?"
Chu Ling sat in front of the giant main control screen, not even turning back to look at Tomb Ghost. Her jade hands swiftly flitted across the keyboard, like a butterfly weaving through flowers...
However, she was not typing on the keyboard of a main computer.
This last laboratory was linked to more than ten main computers. Usually, [Neutral] would send at least five to six researchers to oversee each one. Under full load, it required twelve controllers, and even the assistance of Spiritual Transcendents. Yet, under the current circumstances, with only Chu Ling present, the laboratory’s main computer was in a "full-load state."
Even so.
Chu Ling still managed to spare some attention to converse with Tomb Ghost.
Tomb Ghost was stunned.
This was something even he could not achieve!
"I have a general understanding."
