She took a quick look around the store and asked, "Where's Zhao Ye?"
"The manager has something important to tell you." Vivian was a little nervous.
As time went by, as she learned more and more about the "secrets", she also knew that October was a "high-level" and agent of one of the largest gangs in the city, [Index Finger], and was a powerful force that could make the association's closers shudder.
According to Pete, the three of them together could barely fend off an ascetic, but there was a huge gap between them and the agent.
What he said was not "speculation" like Weeks said, but the accumulation of intelligence and real statistics. Even the three elite finishers of the seven associations and four departments were no match for the index finger ascetic. Even if the thumb soldier was added together with them, they might only be able to barely tie with an ascetic.
October frowned slightly.
Before she could speak, an ascetic beside her said directly: "The order must be completed! Get out of the way! Let's go find him."
One ascetic even drew his sword.
For these ascetics, although there are "rules" in the Duel Alley, in their eyes, the instructions must be completed!
Vivian looked pale as she stood in front of the group of ascetics.
"Wait." Just as several ascetics were about to draw their swords, October couldn't help but open his mouth, "Stop!"
"How many times have I told you to interpret the true meaning of the instructions! What are you doing?" October was very dissatisfied.
Several ascetics froze in an instant, not daring to breathe, and hurriedly put away their swords, standing upright obediently.
October shook his head helplessly.
"But, October Agent, the order requires us to deliver the things to the right place, and specifies a time. It must be before tonight, and it cannot be influenced by anyone—" The ascetic who spoke seemed dissatisfied.
Although they knew that Shiyue and Zhaoye had a close relationship, if it was related to instructions, they would definitely obey them even if there was "danger".
This is also the difference between the thumb and the index finger. In the thumb, no one will question their superiors.
Anyone who dared to question was killed.
"If you hadn't spoken rashly just now, you wouldn't have wasted so much time." October spoke slowly.
The ascetic who spoke was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and apologized: "Sorry, October Agent."
October shook his head and looked at Vivian: "Ms. Vivian, Zhao Ye will definitely not let you stop everyone. He cares for his subordinates very much, so if there is a crisis or emergency, he will definitely let you notify him, right?"
"Uh, yes." Vivian nodded.
October closed his eyes and pointed behind him. Outside the door, two ascetics were tending to a machine that looked very huge.
"This is... the machine that we were ordered to deliver. I personally don't know what it is. But I think it should be something meaningful to Zhaoye who likes to do research, right?
Of course, if this is something dangerous, I think Zhaoye should be able to handle it, and I will help if you need help."
October's understanding of the instructions was much better than those ascetics around him. He even said something like "I can protect you if there is any danger", which stunned the ascetics.
Vivian was stunned again.
She doesn't understand machines.
But thought about it.
Although Shiyue had always made her very uncomfortable, and she was even a little unhappy when she saw him now, she did have a very good relationship with Zhaoye.
After these few exchanges, she has become very familiar with October and probably will not harm the store manager.
"Then please wait, I will go and inform the store manager."
Chapter 113 Instructions and the Spirit Behind It
"What is this?" Zhao Ye asked.
"Sorry, we are just completing the instructions. As for what this is, I don't know." October shook his head.
Even though he had a complete elementary, middle and college experience, October still couldn't really understand the numerous and bizarre technologies in the city.
"However, if you need help, Teruye, I can do whatever I can."
"Instructions..." Zhaoye repeated in a low voice, thinking about the meaning.
Five ascetics stood upright in a row, waiting quietly.
Zhaoye shook his head.
Otherwise, why did the thumb soldier say that the index finger soldiers were a bunch of lunatics? He couldn't understand the logic of this behavior.
never mind--
He didn't care about these things, walked forward and checked for a while, looked at the buttons and various mechanisms of the machine, and his expression changed slightly.
This doesn't seem to be some strange machine, nor does it seem to be a dangerous object like a bomb.
On the contrary, it seems to be the machine that I need?
In front of everyone, he took out a blank card, put the whole thing into the card, said "wait a moment", and immediately turned around and ran back to his laboratory.
Although Zhaoye's behavior had already "completed the order" for the index fingers, October was not in a hurry to leave.
In addition to being Index Finger's agent, she is also Zhaoye's friend.
Since Zhao Ye needed her help and wait, she would naturally be interested in waiting if she had nothing else to do.
A few hours later.
I finished testing the machine at night.
At this time, it was just nightfall and the sky was just beginning to darken.
Zhao Ye walked out of the laboratory with a hint of solemnity and came to the first floor.
October was sitting at a table, watching the effects of the cards. The other ascetics had nothing to do, so they were playing cards at the table. The atmosphere was pretty good.
Noticing Zhaoye coming out, Shiyue put away his card and greeted Zhaoye with a smile: "How is it, Zhaoye, do you have any questions?"
Zhao Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat shocked.
After his testing, he confirmed that the machine was a high-precision processing device. This kind of device would be of no significance to Zhao Ye at other times, but it happened that Zhao Ye needed to upgrade his observation device, so the arrival of this thing became particularly important.
But he……
Very puzzled.
Why would [Command] give him this kind of thing at this time?
Could it be that he had been monitored by the Index Finger the entire time? When he discovered his needs, the order was given to urgently dispatch October to give him something?
But why was Index Finger so "nice" to him?
Just like what the Lightning Fairy described, there is too little pure kindness in this world. Could it be that Index Finger is willing to give October something just because he has a better relationship with him?
But according to October, although she is an "agent", she is just an ordinary agent of the first medal level. Above her are second and third level agents, heralds, and maybe even more senior Index Finger members.
It would be too outrageous for him to give Zhaoye such a machine at this time just because he had a good relationship with Shiyue.
If October gave him something, he might have accepted it, but ordering him to receive something like this was extremely strange no matter how you looked at it.
"Shiyue, how much does this thing cost?" Zhao Ye asked.
"No need to report on the order, we are just completing it." October shook his head.
The instructions did not explicitly require any reward, so she could choose to take the money or not, but she herself was not interested in money, so she refused Zhao Ye.
Zhaoye frowned.
He thought for a moment and asked another question: "Then, October, can you tell me where this machine came from?"
"I don't know." October shook his head.
"do not know?"
"I took over this machine from Aaron's Agent." October said, "Aaron's Agent is an experienced agent. When I was still an ascetic, I studied and learned the rules and laws of the command under his command. He is my predecessor."
Zhaoye nodded. He remembered that Shiyue had mentioned this name to him.
It is said that he is a cold-blooded agent who will order the ascetics to kill anyone who fails to complete his orders.
In fact.
The specific punishment if the instruction cannot be completed is not very fixed.
Some instructions are required to be completed
If the order cannot be completed, they will be killed directly. Some orders require ascetics or agents to "assist in completion". What's more, some orders will not be punished at all even if they cannot be completed or even fail.
"Then...can I meet the agent? I'm curious about the origin of this machine."
Zhaoye was more than just curious.
"If that's the case, there's no need to ask Aaron's agent. In fact, on the way here, I've made a special summary just in case, in order to prevent this thing from harming you."
Eh?
Shi Yue opened his eyes, revealing sky blue eyes, and looked at Zhao Ye, chuckled slightly, and explained: "The order must be completed, but the order only requires me to deliver it to the corresponding location.
You are my friend. If this thing is harmful, I am willing to personally fund your reconstruction and protect your safety."
As her understanding of the rules of the cards deepened, her interpretation of the "instructions" became better and better.
She is already very familiar with this method of interpreting "avoiding danger" and is very good at it.
The first is the origin of this machine. Where did it come from? According to the first "instruction" collected by October, it seems that it was less than half a month ago when Zhaoye just started to apply for [Duel Alley] and promote it.
At that time, there was an instruction for a certain person to enter a research institute.
It was an abandoned research institute—or rather, it was a shattered research institute.
October learned that some time ago, a special-level finisher known as [Dark Silence] went crazy for some unknown reason and attacked research institutes and various strange organizations throughout the southern part of the city, destroying the personnel therein and indiscriminately slaughtering all creatures he saw, causing quite a large riot. That research institute was exactly the place that had been "patronized" by that special-level finisher.
There was almost nothing normal inside. The person who received the order did not dare to delay, but was afraid that there might be some strange things in such a dangerous laboratory. So he took away a black thing and ran away.
After that, about two days later, another person received instructions and delivered the machine to Area 10.
And the day before yesterday, October received several instructions. Instead of watching the competition in Duel Alley, he led four ascetics to slaughter some "special points" in several areas outside Duel Alley, including not only the Fate Casino, but also several gangs and a company conducting human experiments.
But no matter where they are, they all have one thing in common - there are strange and bizarre things hidden inside them.
Some were abnormalities, some were distortions, and some were just some old garbage monsters. They were all killed by October and several ascetics, and handed over to the messenger lady as instructed.
Yesterday, the Herald seemed to have spent a whole day repairing those things, as well as the machines that had just been delivered to Area 10.
They didn't know what they were doing, but they followed the instructions and put several materials into the machine at a certain time in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. As a result, this morning, the machine miraculously "worked". Although it still looked bumpy on the outside, it was able to turn.
After that, Aaron acted as the agent to escort the machine and handed it over to October, who then followed the instructions and delivered it to Zhao Ye.
During the whole process, October, Aaron, the messenger, the transporters, and the ordinary alley residents who completed the instructions had no idea what this thing was used for, nor did they know what they were responsible for. They simply completed the instructions and delivered the things to Zhao Ye.
After hearing October's words, Zhaoye's expression changed again.
The reason why it took so long to inspect was very simple. Zhao Ye discovered that the machine had undergone a very "superficial" and even "random" repair.
This kind of repair is in a state of "although it has been repaired, it is completely invisible", "each part seems to be put in place perfectly, but it is not screwed carefully, as if the repairer has no idea what this thing is for in this position", and "although it is in good condition, it will break if you move it around casually".
In this state, it happens that Zhao Ye can repair it without spending much effort, and there will be no crisis.
After the repair was completed, Zhao Ye inspected it and found that its interior was surprisingly complete, almost brand new.
This made Zhao Ye extremely shocked.
Because no matter how you look at it, this thing was obviously repaired by a group of people who have no idea how to control it.
Of course, Zhaoye also considered that maybe the repairman was too lazy to continue repairing the machine - but when Shiyue told him about his experience with this machine, Zhaoye broke this idea.
What's going on, index finger! ?
Zhao Ye knew that there was a saying called "butterfly effect" in the world. He had also read about a story in which a small stone fell from the top of a mountain and caused a mudslide or a landslide, destroying a village.
But what Zhao Ye didn't expect was that there were people - or to be more precise, forces, that were able to artificially create such a thing!
The scraps from a destroyed research institute were stolen by an unknown person and transported to
Area 10, and then just tinker with it a few times in the hands of a group of people who have no knowledge of machines?
More importantly - why did [Instructions] prepare for this kind of thing half a month in advance, and did it really know that Zhaoye needed this kind of thing?
Zhao Ye was a little dazed.
To be honest, compared to the touch given to him by the "abnormal body", Zhaoye was more impressed by the operation of his index fingers. He even felt the so-called "singularity technology, shocking" for the first time.
This time, Zhaoye was really curious about the index finger.
