At 2:50 p.m., Lin Chi, who had finished his exoskeleton, put on a long black suit and strode into the elevator of the apartment building.

Zhou Tianhao should have arrived soon, and Lin Chi was also prepared in advance. But he did not go directly to the dessert shop, but stopped in the first floor lobby for a while and used Throat to contact Frankenstein:

"Did you see him?"

Lin Chi's vocal cords trembled slightly. After the sound was detected by Throat, Frankenstein's response immediately rang out of the in-ear headphones:

"He's here."

"Have you brought other people?" Lin Chi continued to ask.

"He's the only one." Frankenstein replied.

"Check for any ambush." ​​Lin Chi ordered.

After listening to the pursuit of the security commissioner of Frankenstein, Lin Chi's trust in Zhou Tianhao was reduced a little. This meeting may become a dangerous "Hongmen Banquet", and you must be prepared in advance.

It is related to Lin Chi's safety, Frankenstein has temporarily put down his temper and become Lin Chi's partner. Its work efficiency is as high as ever, and it only took thirty seconds to send a reply:

"I checked the surveillance video of the neighborhood in front of the community. He arrived here by bus and no other suspicious people were found around him."

"Ha, am I worried too much?" Lin Chi said with a smile.

"Be careful, the Security Agency may be monitoring it." Frankenstein reminded: "Even I can't defeat the Security Agency members, please be careful."

"I will pay attention." Lin Chi said, strode out of the apartment building and headed towards the "midnight dessert shop" in the community.

Since the cute "dead chef" found something she was really good at, she almost immediately achieved great success. The restaurant that was originally unpopular has been replaced by a lively dessert shop.

Not only nearby customers, but also many customers who specially arrived here by car just to see the beauty of "dessert cute girls". In this era when humans are gradually becoming homeless, it can be regarded as a rare wonder.

"Aren't these people afraid of death..." Zhou Tianhao, wearing a dark blue sportswear, sighed.

"Her skills are very good, but she puts a little too much sugar." Lin Chi said.

Hearing Lin Chi's voice sounded from the back, Zhou Tianhao immediately turned around and happened to meet his old classmate's unrestrained face.

Zhou Tianhao glanced at Lin Chi up and down and commented: "You... seem to be fat."

"I'm wearing an exoskeleton." Lin Chi said the facts frankly: "You know, I'm too lazy to walk."

"Brother, you still look like you when you were in school. I really envy you." Zhou Tianhao's old face, haggard and overtime, squeezed out a weak smile: "I also want to be so leisurely..."

"I'm just quite idle lately. I was very tired when I was in the team before." Lin Chi looked back at the long queue in front of the dessert shop and asked, "So why are you here to come to me this time? It's not a holiday yet, right?"

Looking at Zhou Tianhao's look of overwork at any time, you can tell that the continuous overtime work of the Game Administration should not have ended yet. This guy chose to "remind the past" at this time, obviously because he came for some serious matters.

"I just want to talk to you."

Zhou Tianhao sat down on the bench next to the flower bed, and Lin Chi also sat on the bench, waiting silently for Zhou Tianhao to continue speaking.

"We decided to give up investigating the 'psychedelics' matter," said Zhou Tianhao.

Hearing unexpected news, Lin Chi immediately asked: "Why?"

"There are more important work recently." Zhou Tianhao said vaguely: "And, the case of psychedelics has been transferred to other departments."

——Is this so-called "other department" the Security Bureau?

Realizing that there was a mystery in Zhou Tianhao's words, Lin Chi did not ask too much, but just smiled and said, "So are you free now?"

"Yes, I'm very relaxed now." Zhou Tianhao leaned on the bench in a "salted fish paralyzed" posture, and his back slid down softly: "Finally, I don't have to worry about those messy things anymore. It's obviously just the Game Administration, why do you have to do so much work?"

"What else is there to do?" Lin Chi asked tentatively.

"Nothing." Zhou Tianhao decisively "immunized" this cliché: "In short, our future work should be much easier. You don't need to continue investigating the matter of psychedelics."

"I've been investigating for a long time. Should I pay?" Lin Chi stretched out his right hand to his college roommate.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Zhou Tianhao pointed to the dessert shop not far away: "I want to see if the dessert made by that woman is really delicious."

"Buy whatever you want, as long as there are strawberries." Lin Chi smiled.

"Then wait for me for a while." Zhou Tianhao said as he stood behind the long queue.

Seeing that the other party could not return here for a while, Lin Chi, who was still sitting on the bench, used Throat to contact Frankenstein:

"Don't forget to record."

"I get it." Frankenstein replied.

“Investigate the surroundings.”

"No observers or stalkers were found nearby." Frankenstein's speech speed was still fast: "Mr. Zhou Tianhao came alone, and I could not detect whether he was carrying the surveillance equipment of the Security Bureau."

"This kid seems to be no different from usual." Lin Chi looked at Zhou Tianhao's vicissitudes of back.

Most of the suspicion that had arisen before the meeting had dissipated at this time. In Lin Chi's opinion, except for the long-term overtime work, Zhou Tianhao is no different from usual now, and does not seem to be hiding some shocking secrets.

However, what Lin Chi cares more about is what Zhou Tianhao said about "other departments."

"According to his words, the psychedelic incident should have been handed over to the Security Bureau." Lin Chi used Throat to contact Frankenstein: "If the Security Bureau is responsible for this, the hacker will be hunted, which makes sense."

"The Security Bureau usually doesn't interfere in such a thing," Frankenstein whispered.

"Yes, the mysterious national security agency is actually related to online games, and few people will believe it if they say it." Lin Chi also agreed with Frankenstein's point of view.

——Anyway, the Department of Security Bureau for investigating crazy events in brain imaging games is really a bit of a big deal, just like using cruise missiles to kill mosquitoes, which has a subtle sense of incongruity.

——Maybe the "relevant departments" Zhou Tianhao mentioned are not the Security Bureau, but some other institutions? If he could talk from the haggard man, he might be able to find out the truth.

"I should be ready to vomit real medicine." Lin Chi said.

"Are you going to kidnap him?" Frankenstein said coldly.

"I'm just kidding."

While waiting for Zhou Tianhao, Lin Chi picked up his mobile phone and opened the official forum of "War Paradise" and read the new posts in the forum with boringness.

After watching the live broadcast of the magic box by the Shasha Netizen, Zhou Tianhao finally came back, holding two paper bags in his hand and stuffed one of them into Lin Chi's hand:

“You ordered strawberry cake.”

"Thank you."

Lin Chi took out a small box from the paper bag, opened the plastic lid on it, and the rich creamy smell floated into his nose.

For Lin Chi, who used to eat in a midnight restaurant, he was very familiar with this taste. Lin Chi picked up the cake and ate it, and the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth.

"Well...this is good!"

Zhou Tianhao, who took the blueberry cake and tasted a small bite, blinked in surprise: "So she is so strong? I thought she was the only one who was damn nutritional package."

"Nonsense, what do you think so many customers are here for?" Lin Chi solved his strawberry cake in a few seconds, picked up the tissue provided and wiped off the cream stained on his mouth.

In addition to being overly sweet occasionally, the desserts made by the girl are impeccable. Even Zhou Tianhao, who was once cheated by the "nutritional package", praised the cake.

Two minutes later, the two satisfied men after eating the cake leaned on the bench and looked up at the sky. Seeing that Zhou Tianhao was done, Lin Chi asked casually:

"You have something to say, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Tianhao's voice became serious.

"What did you say?" Lin Chi leaned against the other party.

"The little girl queuing over there seems to treat us as couples." Zhou Tianhao said.

"It's okay, let her continue to misunderstand." Lin Chi smiled slightly.

Although he didn't care much, Zhou Tianhao immediately sat upright, trying to clarify his relationship with the "old salted fish" around him, cleared his throat and said:

"Actually, I really want to say something when I look for you this time..."

"Speak, I'll listen." Lin Chi nodded.

"Based on what I have observed, you seem to be very interested in Pulse Entertainment and are still conducting some investigations... That's right?" Zhou Tianhao asked.

"Does this still need to be observed? You told me some information." Lin Chi manipulated the exoskeleton and shook his right leg slightly: "What's wrong?"

"We are old friends too, I want to remind you." Zhou Tianhao looked at Lin Chi without blinking: "Stop, stop investigating the matter of Pulse Entertainment Company. Otherwise..."

Seeing the other party's desire to speak but stop, Lin Chi asked, "Otherwise, what's wrong?"

"I can't say too much about this, but I can tell you... the Security Bureau is investigating the matter of Pulse Entertainment." Zhou Tianhao leaned over to Lin Chi and whispered to him: "Stop playing tricks anymore. If the Security Bureau people find out, even I can't protect you."

"Which security bureau are you talking about?" Lin Chi sat up suddenly and pretended to be surprised: "How could they do something about the game?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but they did steal our work. They took away all our investigation materials, and warned us not to continue interfering." Zhou Tianhao clenched his fists with some resentment: "They didn't even say a word of thanks, and drove us as fools."

"If I continue to investigate, I will be arrested by the Security Bureau?" With my increasingly superb acting skills, Lin Chi's facial muscles began to twitch, and he looked very scared: "Brother, don't scare me."

"I didn't scare you." Zhou Tianhao said seriously: "The guy from the Security Bureau is very secretive about this and warned us several times, saying that if we find that we are still investigating, we will be imprisoned."

——In this way, the reason why the hacker who is familiar with Frankenstein was hunted is already confirmed to be due to the intrusion of the Game Administration. If the hacker was really caught, tell me and Frankenstein...

Realizing that he was in danger, Lin Chi patted Zhou Tianhao on the shoulder gratefully: "Thank you for your reminder, I will thank you."

"Then go and buy me another cake." Zhou Tianhao licked his lips with unsatisfactory feelings: "This time I want a mango flavor."

"Don't you think it feels very gay to two big men give each other cakes?" Lin Chi frowned.

"Forget it, I'll buy it myself." Zhou Tianhao said unhappily, and suddenly lowered his voice again:

"I met you here because I was afraid of being monitored by the Security Bureau. Remember my advice and stop investigating Pulse Entertainment. Some things are not what we should know."
