Chapter 82 How Wise

After chatting with Lin Chen about the hypotheses for a while, Professor Jürgen left the ward thoughtfully.

Before leaving, he received a report from the logistics department, bringing Lin Chen good news:

"Captain England's shield is made of superalloy, which is very strong and quite valuable. We can think about what to do with it, whether we sell it or turn it into a weapon."

It seems that the harvest this time was quite good.

After Professor Jürgen left, Lin Chen lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

As is customary, he should now enter the "Mirage City" to examine Captain England's memories.

Before that, Lin Chen sent Hao Ge a text message with only three words:

"Are you alright?"

A few minutes later, Brother Hao replied:

"Very good!"

It seems everything is fine... Lin Chen put down his phone.

During this period, he should try to avoid contacting Brother Hao, otherwise the foundation could easily find out.

He's fine, but if Brother Hao gets involved, he won't be able to forgive himself.

"..."

In the white city center, Lin Chen opened his eyes.

He looked down at his feet and saw a new tombstone next to Qingtian's tombstone, which read "Ding Qilang, Captain of England".

"May you never find peace," Lin Chen said softly.

He resonated with the echoes emanating from the tombstone, feeling the silver lines spreading across the city's skyline.

Euclid's intervention to save Captain England means he has very important information in his mind.

Fortunately, Euclid did not appear this time. Lin Chen carried the 23mm whale-sound round with him, ready to use it as soon as Euclid appeared.

That saved money.

Lin Chen flew through a blurry white expanse, and soon, the scene appeared before his eyes.

In the darkness, he saw Captain England and Left Shrimp standing in a dark room, the only light source being a table lamp on the table.

"...I need a chance to leave the Foundation," Zuo Xia said wearily. "To be honest, it's because I'm suggesting you run away sooner rather than later. They've gone mad. Their ambitions have crossed the borders of Rain City, and they'll do it soon enough."

"You're telling me you're not afraid I'll tell on you?" Captain England stared at Zuo Xia.

"Don't pretend you're not afraid," Zuo Xia said softly. "You and I both understand that once the 'whale' lands, the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) will be completely changed."

"By then, even demigods will become victims of the times, and you will no longer be important. Instead, you will become destabilizing factors that hinder rule."

"Is that WHALE thing really that exaggerated?" Captain England squinted. "As a product of it, 'The Republic' didn't impress me much..."

"You simply can't understand!" Zuo Xia said viciously. "Damn it, I shouldn't have talked to you so much. Since you're willing to be a lackey, let's end our cooperation after this bunker shoot."

"Damn it! You're calling me a dog?" the English captain cursed. "Believe it or not..."

Seeing the English captain swearing in broken English again, Lin Chen knew there wouldn't be any more important information to follow.

They mentioned... "whale"... "WHALE"...

What is that?

"WHALE is the Foundation's next-generation superweapon."

In the interrogation room, Zuo Xia looked at Jiang Zhengge across from him and wearily confessed:

"Originally, someone at my level shouldn't have known about its existence, but the Foundation wanted to create hype for this whale and prepare to bring out this super weapon in 'Turning Point 2'."

"The foundation's writers wrote several scripts for me. The content was slightly different, but they all basically mentioned this superweapon."

"What is the purpose of this weapon?" Jiang Zhengge tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

"I don't know," Zuo Xia shook his head. "There are several versions in the script. Some are space-based weapons, some are weather weapons, and some are antimatter weapons... They all seem to be a mix of truth and fiction, and it seems they don't intend to let me figure it out."

"Is it possible that it's just fiction?" Lucy asked from the side.

"Absolutely impossible. The foundation's publicity system is monolithic. Materials will only be distributed if there is a specific publicity need from above."

Zuo Xia glanced at the handcuffs on his wrists and shifted his body uncomfortably.

"WHALE exists, that's beyond doubt. Although I don't know its specific function, I do know about its early products."

"What product?" Jiang Zhengge raised his eyebrows.

"Warspace Ruins, 'Utopia'"

In the white city, Lin Chen watched as the British captain walked into a hall, his expression proud.

"This is 'The Ideal State,' but you don't actually think of yourself as a king, do you?" Captain England gazed at the figure on the throne, arms outstretched. "Bai Duozhi?"

"I am not the king; we are all just pawns," the shadowy figure on the throne spoke. "I know why you're here. You want more information about WHALE because you think that the more secrets you know, the more carefully the Foundation will have to protect you, right?"

"I'm the main pick this season, and I think that's good for my actions," the English captain replied. "Tell me."

"In fact, simply because you revealed the existence of 'The Ideal State,' the higher-ups have already ordered the destruction of the evidence."

Hyakutochi sighed softly:

"So hurry up and get out of here. I won't tell you anything... I heard Ms. J wants you to cooperate with the media operations in Waldaff? Good luck, if you do well you might not have to sell courses anymore..."

"You big-headed doll..." Captain England cursed, "Then I need another piece of information!"

"What intelligence?"

"Who's the sniper from Rapid Response Division? I'm getting my revenge!"

"Li Zhanyi, a young girl, her spiritual knowledge is 'prophecy,' the information is guaranteed to be true, my informant told me," Bai Duozhi laughed, "a pretty girl, if it's convenient, you can kill her and bring me the body, I'll make it into a leather case."

"On what grounds?"

"Maybe I'll give you some useful information later?"

"Heh... let me see..."

Captain England rubbed his nose, seemingly somewhat convinced.

"Why don't you just crawl into her head?" he couldn't help but ask. "I've seen you do that kind of thing all the time."

"It's really hard to get close to a psychic," said Byakuya, shaking his head. "If only she were just an ordinary person... Alright, get back to work. Hopefully, I won't have to clean up your mess tonight..."

"Tonight, 'Baiduozhi' won't let me go!" Zuo Xia pleaded from behind the interrogation room glass, "Please, please protect me..."

"Bai Duozhi?" Jiang Zhengge looked at Zuo Xia behind the interrogation window. "A demigod, huh? Don't worry, the Foundation doesn't let demigods in so easily..."

Jiang Zhengge stood up, waved his hand, and two agents entered the interrogation room and lifted Zuo Xia up.

"That's enough for today. You're not in a good enough state to give us any useful information," Jiang Zhengge sighed. "Come on, let's take you to your cell to get some sleep. We'll continue our conversation tomorrow."

Jiang Zhengge led two agents to escort Zuo Xia to the underground prison.

He was wary of everyone around him, including the agents who passed by.

Hyakudochi... this name doesn't seem to have appeared much...

The shrimp was terrified and couldn't utter any useful information; otherwise, at least it could have been used as a precaution...

At that moment, a pedestrian walked past a cleaner as they rounded the corner of the underground staircase.

Jiang Zhengge heard something amiss and immediately drew his gun and turned around—

The cleaner had somehow pulled out a pistol and was aiming it at the shrimp!

"Bang!"

Before Jiang Zhengge could fire his gun, a flowerpot flew over and hit the cleaner on the head.

The cleaner collapsed to the ground, unconscious, and the pistol slipped from his hand.

"Don't shoot! He's been subdued!"

Jiang Zhengge turned his head and saw Lin Chen, dressed in a hospital gown, standing at the corner, breathing softly.

"Bai Duozhi's ability is mind intrusion," he said softly.
