Chapter 1602: How a spy is trained
Didn't hear it? Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said seriously, "It's not just as simple as not hearing it."
"Some things, once you know them, it's too late to regret!"
Lawrence hesitated for a rare moment, because he knew very well that once you get involved in some things, there is no turning back.
Two seconds later, he still said firmly, "Let's bet. How can there be something for nothing in this world?"
"But bro, we get along pretty well, so please don't screw me over too badly."
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "There are a lot of people who want to beg me to cheat them. You are lucky."
"That's all I have to say. It's not too late for you to regret it now."
"No regrets," Lawrence answered simply, "I just took a gamble."
"I feel like you're still not firm enough," Qu Jianlei murmured.
He was really unfamiliar with developing spies, but fortunately he had come into contact with similar people when he was on Blue Star.
So he had some idea of the general idea.
"Well, let me be frank with you... You may not believe me, and I may not believe you either."
"I won't tell you the way first. I'll arrange a test mission for you. Do you dare to accept it?"
“Why not?” Lawrence replied without hesitation. “Just tell me.”
Qu Jianlei paused for a moment before speaking, "Didn't you say that the boss has strong connections? Is there any connection with the Institute of Abnormal Affairs?"
"Oh my god," Lawrence couldn't help but mutter, "The test mission... is it so exciting?"
However, although he said this, the expression on his face was still calm.
"Well," Qu Jianlei nodded, "If you regret it now, it's not too late, but you have to think it through..."
"Since it's a test, your abilities and connections must be examined. Otherwise, why should I help you when you're only a B-rank?"
"Then I'll take it," Lawrence said without hesitation, and then asked, "Is it the Taiqing branch?"
"It's a little difficult to talk about the main hospital, but I have friends in the branch hospital!"
Qu Jianlei was not surprised by this answer, because he had vaguely guessed it from the other party's reaction.
He said calmly, "It's best to have a friend, but you don't have to tell me who it is."
"Pleading for you alone is the limit of what I can do, and Madam will not allow me to do more."
When Lawrence heard this, he felt relieved - he didn't want to contact other people. This was probably not the way of a spy.
At least it doesn't look like that at the moment. As for what happens in the future, we can only leave it to fate.
Don’t be fooled by what he says, that betraying the alliance is no problem, but who can feel at ease being a traitor?
When he heard that the other party's wife would obstruct him, he thought of the operating style of some large organizations.
So he nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, so they are a fake couple."
At this moment, Mrs. Lawrence on the rooftop suddenly discovered that Mrs. Yinshan beside her suddenly changed her expression.
She asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
At the same time, Qu Jianlei waved his hand and answered seriously.
"Mr. Lawrence, don't joke around. We have a very strong relationship and we can give everything for each other!"
Are you tired of living? If you dare to say a few more words, do you believe you will not survive this night?
"Oh, I was rash," Lawrence smiled and bowed, "I was just testing you to see if you were targeting me."
"How much free time do I have to have to target you?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes.
Lawrence smiled nonchalantly, "I told you that you two look like a couple."
The next moment, Jing Yuexin on the roof looked at Mrs. Lawrence and said, "Thank you, this is an old problem of mine. I get distracted occasionally."
"My husband is a bit busy with his career and needs help for a long time... He has a big job over there."
"Really?" Mrs. Lawrence's face lit up with joy when she heard that. "Then I will definitely tell him."
"Well," Jing Yuexin nodded, "My husband is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, but it all depends on his attitude."
At the same time, Lawrence asked seriously.
"The Institute of Anomalous Affairs is too big... There are more than 200,000 researchers alone. Which ones should we focus on?"
——You can let me work, but there must be a goal, right?
Qu Jianlei answered casually, "It's mainly about the location. The more secretive the content, the better..."
After a pause, he said, "By the way, who proposed Cao Dan's suggestion to order a large number of jump jammers?"
This evaluation of "Cao Dan" was not his original idea, but the alliance members hated this kind of operation even more.
As for the routes in space, most of them are indeed fixed, and it is safer to travel on known routes.
But space is so vast and there is a lot of room to be used. Why can't we make full use of it?
For example, what if there is an emergency and you need to change direction; or what if there are pirates on the space route?
There are quite a few pirates in the Alliance, but now the main force harassing the shipping routes has become the Empire's harassment teams.
In this situation, the Empire still wants to place jump jammers everywhere, which is really too much and leaves no way for everyone to survive.
If you really have that much free time, you might as well destroy the Imperial fleet that is causing trouble.
Some people say that the Imperial Fleet is hard to fight? Please, where did all the taxes paid by so many Alliance people go?
At the very least, the jump jammers you placed should have caused some damage to the Imperial fleet, right?
But it turned out that the jump jammer had little impact on the Imperial fleet, and instead harmed many Alliance starships.
How could the Alliance members not curse at such things?
Lawrence’s intelligence capabilities are not bad, not to mention that he has friends in the research institute.
Hearing this, he couldn't deny it and could only smile bitterly, "In fact, the order for this warp jammer is not given by an ordinary person."
Qu Jianlei blinked and snorted, "Of course he is not an ordinary person. This is an extremely stupid order... Hehe."
Lawrence sighed, "It's 'Tianwen', the most mysterious and highest-level research group in this branch."
"The Research Institute will not interfere with any decision made by Tianwen. The level is extremely high."
"Really?" Qu Jianlei frowned. "Then you can just ask around. Just get to know a little bit about the rest."
"Heavenly Questions..." A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Lawrence's face.
If the other party had not been speaking so lightly, he would even suspect that the other party's focus of investigation was Tianwen.
Even until now, he still had considerable doubts - this guy might even be a spy for the empire.
But if he was an imperial spy, would he take out a mission with this ultimate goal as a casual entry test?
Lawrence felt that his mind was a little confused and he couldn't think clearly - was it possible or impossible?
However, the other party spoke again, "Is it difficult? Then forget it, it's just a test... Let's just pretend we didn't mention it today."
"Wait," Lawrence thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "After passing the test, the task will be more difficult, right?"
Although this task is difficult, it is not impossible to try. The only thing to be afraid of is that future tasks will be even more difficult.
Isn't this the trick used by those spies to lure people into the trap? Once you get into the trap, you will get deeper and deeper into it until you can't get out.
"Think about it yourself," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "I won't make any promises. You came to me..."
Then he straightened his face and said seriously, "In fact, if I were you, I would heal my aorta first."
"Then rest for a while, hide away as you should, and don't get involved in these things."
In fact, he really thought so. Lawrence was a good person and there was no need to drag him into the water.
The most important thing is that he knew the code name of this relevant agency - Tianwen.
As long as we can grasp this name and search the souls of a few people in a targeted manner, the next things will not be difficult to handle.
Seeing that the other party said it so lightly, Lawrence hesitated again.
The other party's attitude is very clear. It doesn't matter whether he joins or not - even if it is just pretending, this is indeed his attitude.
Moreover, Lawrence did not think that he would be targeted if he withdrew at this moment.
——He was just a passerby on the trip, how could he kill him?
The other party's identity is fake, and although the test mission is top secret, there are countless people who are inquiring about this news!
Lawrence highly suspected that the secret might have leaked out because too many people in the alliance were criticizing this decision!
Anyway, at this moment, he was extremely conflicted, and always felt that the other person was like this and that...
But in the final analysis, it seems like nothing.
Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Brother, there should be some fees for getting such important information."
"No," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "This is just a test mission. I've already told you... you don't have to accept it."
He said this very naturally.
To be honest, he believed very much in the principle of "the emperor does not send hungry soldiers" and would not let people work in vain, but this time was different.
Is it so easy to obtain the protection of the Digital Phantom? Even if you have money, you can't join it!
So he would not pay even a penny, otherwise it would be an insult to Digital Phantom!
"But if you don't want to treat it as a test mission, you can pay some compensation."
"But if that's the case, the only reward I can give you is that!"
He never wanted to force anyone, really.
"Then I'll accept this test mission!" Lawrence said without hesitation.
In fact, he asked this question as a final test.
He could no longer figure out whether there was a trap or not - after all, he was not a professional.
But he understood one thing very well: if the other party's real purpose was Tianwen, they would definitely be willing to pay for the intelligence - no matter how much or how little.
However, no one is willing to pay for it and just offers an illusory opportunity to join.
This shows that people don’t take this matter very seriously!
