MTL - Conan: I Am Surrounded By Undercover-Chapter 453 The undead of Baker Street... gone? !
The presidential suite was on the top floor, and the two took the elevator down.
Taking advantage of this time, Rei Kugu recalled the information of the Syndora Company in his heart.
Syndora is one of the giants in the US IT industry. It has made great achievements in the field of games and artificial intelligence. The current chairman is Thomas Syndora, who also graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
After his successful career, he donated a lot of money to his alma mater, and was invited back to the campus to give a lecture a few years ago. Counting the time down to zero, I found that it happened just after Angstra won the international programming competition individual championship.
The major is exactly the right one, Gu Ling guessed if they met at this lecture, so the chairman invited Angstra to participate in the game test.
"Bourbon, how was your rest last night?" Angstra asked suddenly.
"It's okay." Kugu Zero replied.
He is lying.
I don't know if the two classes yesterday overloaded the brain, or if Angstra didn't rest well last night when it was too late, Jiang Guling felt a throbbing pain in his head when he woke up in the morning.
It was the worst when he first woke up. The pain was so painful that he almost retched by the bedside. Fortunately, he returned to normal after seeing Angstra.
Angstra looked back at him, then looked forward again, and said in a calm voice: "In your state yesterday, I thought you would not sleep well, and I also thought that if your mental state is too bad, I will let you in The hotel sleeps for another day, and I go to the Sindora company alone..."
"...Anyway, you'll be fine."
Jiang Gu Ling smiled: "Don't underestimate me too much, I'm your subordinate."
He had a smile on his face, but he felt a sense of unease somewhere in his heart.
It's really strange. Yesterday he clearly only wanted to attend a law class, why did he go to a psychology class in the afternoon? Feeling that his brain was hot, he stepped into that classroom...
...and what was the class he listened to yesterday afternoon?
And last night he waited for Angstra to come back... Did he wait on the sofa until he fell asleep, and then was sent back?
It seems to be the slow thinking caused by lack of sleep, and Gu Ling felt that his memory was partially blank.
"Ding."
The sound of the elevator arriving on the first floor made Zero Gu regain his senses. He didn't have time to think about it, and walked out of the elevator with Angstra.
A man in formal clothes was standing in the hall. When he saw them, he took the initiative to greet them.
Jiang Gu Ling asked in a low voice, "Is this the one who came to pick us up?"
"Well, this is Chairman Sindora's secretary. I met him once before." Angstra replied in a normal voice.
The secretary walked in front of them and stretched out his hand to Angstra: "Mr. Crow, I'm glad you accepted the invitation. Next, I will take you to Syndora Company. Is this...?"
His gaze fell on Yugu Zero.
"Hello, I'm Toru Amuro, Mr. Crow's bodyguard." Rei Kugu smiled.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Amuro..."
The secretary's expression flashed a peculiar look. As he greeted him, he casually swept across the waist of Jiang Gu Ling—because he was wearing thick winter clothes, it was difficult to see if there was something else underneath—his strange look was lowered. Gu Ling got caught.
Down to the valley subconsciously looked at Angstra, and found that his expression was normal.
…
The Sindora Company was not far from the hotel. Before 10 o'clock, they arrived at the test game experience hall.
Down Valley Zero deliberately lags behind Angstra by a few steps, secretly looking at the surrounding environment, the arrangement of objects, personnel distribution, safety pipelines, etc...
A few staff members sat behind the debugging equipment not far away, with sturdy bodies that could break the stereotype of programmers. Jiang Guling saw their heads quietly stick out from behind the equipment, but when he looked over, they quickly put their heads away shrink back.
...not right.
From the secretary who picked up the person to the staff here, everything was wrong.
The alarm bell in Jianggu Ling’s heart shook. He went to see Angstra again, but found that he didn’t seem to notice these oddities at all, and kept walking forward with the secretary.
In the center of the hall, a tall man in a dark purple suit was standing in front of a strangely shaped machine. He put his palm on the machine, his face was serious, he didn't know what he was thinking.
The machine looks like a huge egg being held up. It has a white shell with metallic luster. There is a glass shield in the middle and upper area, so that people outside can see the situation inside.
After reading the invitation email from Sindora forwarded by Angstra, Katsuya Zero knew that this is the game cabin that will be used in the test.
When experiencing the game, the tester will lie inside the game cabin, wear a helmet, fall into a deep hypnotic state under the electric waves, and be isolated from everything in the outside world.
This state is very dangerous. When Gu Ling first learned that it turned out to be such a test environment, he was once surprised why Angstra accepted the invitation—let alone a member of other organizations, he was replaced by an ordinary person with a little more vigilance. People will not just lie in and turn themselves into such a state of being slaughtered by others.
Jianggu Ling was very helpless: his little boss in this organization is not only good at coaxing and deceiving, but also seems to be lacking in personal safety issues... If it wasn't for his personal strength, he would have been arrested long ago.
In addition to his helplessness, he still had some regrets in his heart.
If Angstra accepted the invitation in Japan, this state of being completely hypnotized and physically in a closed container...maybe a good opportunity to catch him.
When this idea came up, Jiang Gu Ling's head started to hurt for no reason.
Unlike the sharp pain in the morning, this time it was just a throbbing, and only a very slight one. It's like the last struggle of a dying person closing his eyes, which soon subsides.
Then there was no more pain.
...But at the same time, he suddenly felt sore in his eyes, and when he looked at Angstra's back, he somehow felt like he wanted to cry.
————
After chatting with Chairman Sindora, Jing Baiye sat in the game cabin.
He put on the helmet under the guidance of the staff next to him, and leaned on the soft seat relaxedly.
"Have a nice game." Chairman Sindora said in a farewell tone.
Jing Baiye put the phone back in his pocket, and at the same time moved his fingers slightly to take something out of the system backpack. The smart bandage quietly rolled it into his sleeve and wrapped it tightly against his wrist.
His voice was gentle, and he also responded with a farewell tone: "Thank you for inviting me to participate in this game."
Jing Baiye saw that Chairman Sindora gave a chill.
The eggshell was slowly closed, all the human faces were isolated, and the machine buckled on his head began to release electricity that would not harm the human body.
Jing Baiye sat there with an extremely peaceful mind.
Only he could see that there were many dense red dots on the map floating around him.
...Even the blue dot that had accompanied him in the past was covered in a dazzling red circle at a certain moment just now.
Jing Baiye slowly closed his eyes and let himself sink into the game.
…
"Number 44!"
Hearing the call of others, Jing Baiye opened his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then sat up abruptly.
A woman in a white coat was standing beside him, holding a scoreboard in her hand, looking at him with disgust.
"No. 44, someone selected you, you are leaving the training camp."
"..."
Jing Baiye turned a deaf ear, he was completely stunned.
This is not a few copies of the game that Sindora showed him.
Here is his first life.
It is the place where the existence called Jingbaiye was born.
