After a series of brief and concise operations, the information about zero was sold by Hades to the Parkland chaebol at a price about 30% higher than the purchase price. Even though Parkland is a big company in the wilderness, he is still not qualified to meet Hades in person. Intelligence is traded through the contact channel dedicated to dark merchants, and no images will appear throughout the process.

After seeing Parkland’s credit point into the dark merchant’s account, Hades stood up and left the room. The moment he walked out of the room, from the ceiling to the carpet, from the fireplace to the wall, a hexagonal lattice appeared on the surface of everything in the room. As each lattice gradually disappeared, the room was correspondingly reduced to darkness, turning into an inorganic group of data, waiting for the next time it was activated again.

Hades was walking in the darkness, and directly in front of him, there was a luminous door. That's where the exit is, and when the virtual room disappears, the virtual information technology that acts on Hades is also fading. The golden light that was originally shining like the sun quickly lost its luster, and his handsome face was quickly covered with wrinkles. The originally shiny skin gradually lost its moisture, and even age spots appeared quietly on the back of his face and hands. between.

In just a few seconds, Hades has completed the physiological process from young adults to old age. When he walked out of the exit, Hades was no longer young, and became an old man in his sixties. It's just that those jewel-like blue eyes are as bright as ever.

The alloy door behind it closed automatically, and a bookcase moved over from the left, hiding the secret door behind it. This is an office of two hundred square meters. The office is completely decorated in a retro style, which is exactly the same as that of a virtual room. The difference is that the painting on the wall of the office is not a "Mona Lisa" painting, but a picture scroll full of religious colors.

The Last Supper!

The old man stared at this picture. He was not a believer in Christianity. Hanging up this oil painting in the office is purely out of personal preference.

"The Last Supper" is one of the masterpieces passed down by the painter Leonardo da Vinci. The oil painting contrasts the peace of **** with the betrayal of Judas through realistic expression. Trust and betrayal are a melody that no era lacks. It is the same in the old era, and it is even more common in the new era. Conflict of interest and divergence of ideas, in this age of rapid change, betrayal is sometimes only for a piece of black bread.

In the past years of the old man, he also betrayed his ideals like Judas. But everything is just to live better, so the old man has not regretted it.

"One day, I will prove that you are wrong... Ben! You are not Jesus, even **** cannot save everyone. There is no savior in this world, only people who lead them in the right direction. And such a thing, I am Do it!" The old man said in a low voice, but he was firm and determined like his rock.

At this time, the phone at the desk rang. The old man still looked at the oil painting, but said to the room: "Answer."

The voice control system took effect immediately. The phone switched to amplifying mode, and a melodious woman's voice rang from the phone: "Dear Speaker Oglock, Dr. Shawner just called you. He asked you to go to science and technology at your convenience. A visit to the hospital, the research project numbered WX1875 has made new progress."

When he heard the special number, the old man finally left his eyes on the oil painting. He faintly said to the woman on the phone: "I understand, Christine, please prepare me for the trip. 15 minutes later, I want to arrive at the Academy of Science and Technology on time."

"Follow your instructions, sir."

At the end of the conversation, the old man looked at the red and electric city outside the window of the site, pulling an arc at the corner of his mouth.

No one thought that the leader of the dark merchant who suddenly emerged thirty years ago and has grown rapidly to this day, Hades, turned out to be Oglock, the speaker of the Dark Council. In fact, if it weren't for a behemoth like the Dark Council to silently support it, dark merchants would not have been able to develop in the mainland so quickly. In turn, operating through the dark merchants, Oglock held most of the secret information of the mainland.

Of course, the Dark Merchant is Oglock's private institution. So no one in the parliament knows about this.

Extending the line of sight from the office building where Oglock is located, you can see a city shrouded in darkness. This city is the base camp of the Dark Council...Eternal Night City!

Yongye City is located at the northernmost end of the coastline, behind which is the endless polluted sea. The size of this city is comparable to Asgart, the difference is that Asgart hollowed out the Jurian Mountains and built it out of thin air. The Evernight City is a rebuilt city based on a city that was not completely destroyed in the old era. This approach is somewhat similar to Remte, except that the Dark Council is not Remte in terms of financial resources or resources. Can be compared.

After half a century of operation, the city center has basically been restored to its original appearance, with towering buildings, dense urban highways, and street lights dotted with the city. If you don't look at the red light of radiating clouds in the sky, then this city is not much different from the developed cities of the old age.

However, the buildings on the outskirts of Yongye City were almost completely cleared. Here, the Dark Council built fortifications, and various factories were also lined up in it. And in the suburbs to the southwest of the city, is where the Science and Technology Institute is located. The Academy of Science and Technology is mainly engaged in the research of genes, biochemistry, ability formula, and even weapon equipment and war machinery.

Fifteen minutes later, a black car stopped in front of the gate of the main building of the Academy of Science and Technology. Two guards in black suits opened the door, and Oglock got out of the car on crutches. He raised his head and looked at the top floor of the building~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, a red electricity fell from the sky, causing the top floor of the building to appear in a layer of red light.

After a while, Oglock took the elevator to the top floor. On the top floor of the main building is the office of the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology, but in this room that is no less inferior to Oglock’s office, what the speaker sees is a messy and busy scene.

Various data reports were lost in the office, and as many as a dozen assistants came in and out with tablets or documents, but no one had time to stop and pay tribute to Oglock. But the speaker doesn't care about this lack of politeness. As we all know, the most madmen and workaholics in the Academy of Science and Technology, so Oglock does not expect to meet a gentleman here.

From a pile of documents as high as a hill, Oglock met Dr. Shawner, the director of the Institute of Science and Technology. The doctor is already in his sixtieth year, and his hair has already fallen out, but a bald head is very smooth. He wears thick glasses and his gray and even yellowish white coat is working hard to record something.

Even in this era of universal use of plain computers, Dr. Shawner still maintains the old habit of recording the evolution of formulas and important results, using pencils and paper to record. For this reason, Oglock had to arrange a special assistant for the doctor, who would record his research results and important formulas into the huge information database of the brain terminal of the Dark Council.

Oglock knocked on the doctor's desk with a cane, but the doctor who could not afford to be at the desk ignored it. Oglock could only cough helplessly before diverting the doctor's attention from the report. Seeing Oglock, Dr. Shawner stood up happily and said, "You are here, great! Come and see our latest research results, guess what we found. Haha, it’s a set of source code. Ogg , This is a set of source code we have never seen before!"
