but.
Even though he discovered that there was something wrong with the curly-haired foreigner at the Nepal virus checkpoint, Gu Ji still had many doubts in his mind.
First, whether this curly-haired man is the monk-robed man;
Second, why did he repeatedly help the players and Xia Guo?
Third, what exactly does he have to do with the game system?
Regarding the first point, Gu Ji carefully reviewed all the details.
I think the possibility is very small.
Although the curly-haired foreigner appeared in the temple, both his activity time and behavior patterns were different from the intelligence information orally narrated by Fuka.
Especially the height data, real monks are much shorter.
As for the second question, the only reason Gu Ji could think of was that the man in monk robes was related to the Xia Kingdom!
Because regardless of the identity of the player character, he has found clues within the level that the Ganta Kana virus that appeared in Nepal and the "Paradise" hallucinogen produced by Ryomotosha are both part of the "mysterious sphere" fragment research conducted by Xia Country.
and so.
In the Nepal level, the man in monk robes seems to be helping the player, but in fact he is helping the Xia Kingdom.
Including this Bangladesh operation.
It is already obvious that the curly-haired foreigner is leaning towards Xia Guo. He is just about to rush out like Wang Xueming and Sima and join them in fighting Cohen and the extremist organization.
This proves that the man in monk's robe is most likely a Xia citizen, or has received great help from the Xia country.
As for the last point.
This brings us back to the question that Gu Ji was thinking about when he first received intelligence information from "CISD: 6501" at the joint strategic meeting at CTOC:
Did the gaming system he has now come from the secret research of the 6501 Joint Institute?
Although the system's technology is far beyond what Earth's technology can achieve.
But both the game's level-breaking mode and the reward mechanism are completely in line with Earth culture.
So the hypothesis that Gu Ji gave at the beginning was;
This is a simulation system developed by countless top scientific researchers on Earth using the extraordinary technology of the mysterious sphere, specifically for training human combat elites.
This is also the most reasonable explanation at present.
It can't be said that this is a system specially tailored for him by some alien civilization, or gods or demons?
If we continue to infer according to this logic.
Then this man in monk's robe is most likely one of the participants in the 6501 project.
Otherwise, he would not be so familiar with the game system mechanism, even forcing the system to specifically turn on the "influence factor" mode to prevent Gu Ji from leaking game information to the outside world.
Including Gu Ji, who is now a little suspicious.
In the second round of the Pakistan earthquake level, the mysterious crack that suddenly appeared during the level, the black shadow, and the sentence "CISD: 6501" were also created by this person!
Just according to the information provided by Zeng Dan.
In the attack on the 6501 Joint Research Institute, very few people survived, only...
and many more!
Gu Ji's pupils suddenly shrank, and he froze in place as if struck by lightning. "Xia Guoren, the person who is related to the 6501 research project and survived the attack... is my father!!"
"How things went."
"Don't worry, Old A. I'm here. Don't you feel uneasy?"
In a private courtyard in the north of Dhaka city.
The curly-haired foreigner wearing MC optical camouflage silently took off his mask, tactical vest, and Mk12 precision marksman rifle.
"Don't underestimate these people in the country, and the two members of Unit 7472. By the way, when you came back, no one discovered you, right?"
"Quack."
The curly-haired foreigner's heart tightened.
At that time, he saw the Xia country special police withdrawing from the battlefield one after another, and his attention was completely focused on Cohen and the organization behind him. He subconsciously ignored the fat man and the short-haired woman.
However, he quickly adjusted his attitude and said calmly:
"Don't worry, Lao A, I have optical camouflage on me, and I was very careful on the way back!"
"That's good."
The man called Old A is a Bengali old man with a slightly hunchback.
While chatting with Curly, he sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, fiddling with his notebook and typing, "At present, we are not 7472% sure whether the position of Unit is correct, so we cannot take it lightly for the time being. 'THEO' is a living example!"
"Old A, I don't quite understand. Since you have already confirmed that Gu Ji has undergone special changes, why don't you just ask him in person? Why do you have to make me work hard to help him behind his back? You are his biological father!"
As soon as these words came out.
Old A was startled, and the fingers that were originally typing on the keyboard froze in mid-air.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head.
The old Bengali face concealed a pair of young and sharp eyes, which looked exactly like Gu Ji's father, Gu Jian! !
"I am not sure whether our hope lies with him. Even if it does, looking for him with my current identity would be like exposing myself. Then all my efforts would be wasted and come to naught!"
When Gu Jian said this, his brows were full of worry.
Curly sat on a stone bench nearby and scratched his hair:
“Having said that, sometimes I really don’t understand what you’re thinking. Your disappearance is definitely a huge blow to Gu Ji.
I don't know if you have ever seen your son in person, but his current strength is definitely beyond your imagination!"
"Of course I know how powerful he is, but so what?"
Gu Jian raised his eyebrows and spread his hands. "It's so difficult for him to deal with Riddle now, let alone 'THEO'. Suya, you know, the enemy we are facing this time is unprecedentedly terrifying! ”
"Ugh……"
Su Ya sighed, clasped his hands together, and said Amitabha, "I just think it's a bit too cruel for you to keep it from him like this."
Listen to this sigh.
Gu Jian's eyelids couldn't help but start twitching, and his raised eyebrows gradually drooped, turning into a hint of sorrow and heartache.
"Cruel, haha, at least he is still alive and well now..."
"Ding ding ding~ Passengers going to Shenzhou, Xiaguo, please note that your flight DBX017 is now boarding. Please take your carry-on belongings, issue your boarding pass, and board from Gate 64..."
时间：2024年，7月28日，下午14点23分。
Location: Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport, Terminal 3 Departure Hall.
Gu Jian, who was dressed in grey casual clothes, immediately followed the queue at the boarding gate with his suitcase after hearing the airport announcement, and checked in and boarded the plane one by one.
"Welcome aboard."
"Welcome aboard! Passengers, please go inside on the 13th floor!"
Gu Jian walked along the connecting bridge into the passenger plane, stuffed the box into the overhead luggage compartment, and subconsciously glanced at the passengers around him.
After sitting down, he took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat.
The last message was posted in the morning.
Gu Ji: "Dad, my business trip schedule has been changed. I can pick you up at the airport tonight!"
Seeing these words, Gu Jian felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
But his fingers still pressed the keyboard and typed: "I just boarded the plane. You must be very tired after just coming back from a business trip. Just wait for me at home. Xiaoyu will come to pick me up."
Unexpectedly, my son replied almost instantly.
Gu Ji: "Hahaha, what a coincidence, Dad. I just got on the plane too."
"This kid..."
Gu Jian shook his head and smiled, "See you tonight then."
Gu Ji: "See you tonight."
After seeing the last message, Gu Jian closed the screen with relief.
His mind was filled with the dashing images of his son Gu Ji in special police uniform, and he couldn't help but smile.
Just one second.
This happy and perfect picture was instantly taken away by a car accident in the dark night seven years ago.
“Swish! Bang!”
"Um... uh, son, are you okay, Gu Ji? Gu Ji!!"
The harsh sound of metal colliding, the deformed car door, the cold flashing glass fragments, the tightened seat belts, the exploded white airbags, the blurred vision like fog in front of the eyes, and that... Gu Ji's young cheek stained with blood!
Gu Jian shuddered violently, as if waking up from a nightmare.
His face suddenly darkened, his pupils shrank and then expanded, and he became ferocious and terrifying, no longer looking like the kind father he was just now.
The next second, he took out his cell phone again.
He opened his wife Dong Ying's WeChat and edited a message: "Dong Ying, our son..."
"Oh sir, excuse me, can I move your luggage aside?"
Just when Gu Jian was halfway through typing.
Suddenly, an English greeting sounded in my ear.
He looked up and saw a middle-aged white man wearing a dark grey wizard hat and sweatshirt and with stubble at the corners of his mouth, holding a handbag and asking him questions.
"Oh, of course."
Gu Jian smiled slightly and raised his hand.
"Thank you, this damn plane, the space is so narrow..."
The bearded man complained, but he finally put his luggage away, sat down, and extended his left hand enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is James, and I'm from the United States."
Continuously interrupted.
Gu Jian no longer had the heart to continue sending messages, so he simply turned off the screen, put the phone back in his pocket, and politely shook hands with him, "Hello, Gu Jian."
"Were you messaging your family just now?"
James grinned, gave him a knowing look, and took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Gu Jian often travels on business and knows that some foreigners like to socialize.
But he really didn't want to talk about this now, so he nodded and remained silent.
But this did not affect James' mood. He continued to tell his own information, "I also have family, but it is very difficult to see them now. But after this flight, we will be able to meet them!"
"Congratulations."
"By the way, why are you coming to Dubai this time..."
"On business trip."
Gu Jian responded with intermittent words.
Soon, the plane started to take off.
As he had been thinking about his son last night, listening to the noise of the turbofan engine and the chatter of his foreign friend James next to him, Gu Jian was soon overcome by sleepiness and slowly closed his eyes.
"Ding~ Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has reached a stable altitude. You can now unbuckle your seat belts and leave your seats. We will start serving meals..."
"Squeak..."
Faintly, Gu Jian seemed to hear some noise beside his ear.
He opened his eyes and looked.
It turned out that James left his seat and went to the bathroom.
He rubbed his eyes and turned to look at the porthole next to him. Unconsciously, the sky outside had darkened.
Raise your wrist and take a look.
It was 10 o'clock in the evening in Xia Guo, and we were still halfway to landing, which was about 4 hours.
According to calculations, it should be over India now.
Gu Jian thought about it, took out his mobile phone again, prepared to connect to the airplane WIFI, and planned to send out the unfinished words he had just said.
But it only took less than a second to connect.
Only a few quick "ding~ding~" sounds were heard as reminders.
Then the flight attendant announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, as the plane is passing through a magnetic field interference area, please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts. The toilet is temporarily closed..."
Magnetic field interference zone?
Gu Jian frowned and looked down, and found that the international WIFI on the aircraft was not connected.
At this time, James in the bathroom was called out by the flight attendant and returned to his seat.
"Are you finally awake, my friend?"
"Ah."
Gu Jian didn't expect that this guy hadn't given up on talking to him.
I took a subconscious glance and found that the other person's right hand was kept in the front pocket of his sweatshirt, and he had no intention of fastening his seat belt.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that from the moment he came out of the bathroom, his right hand has never left his pocket.
Gu Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "James, why are you going to Xia Country this time..."
"Oh, friend, didn't I tell you that after this flight, I will be able to see my family." James said, and suddenly as if he felt something, he took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket with his left hand. The background was an extremely deep and mysterious black hole.
Gu Jian's pupils suddenly shrank.
He always felt that the sphere in the background looked familiar.
But the more important point is...
James is reading the news!
Yes!
Even though the entire plane had no internet connection, he could still receive new messages.
Just when Gu Jian was about to take a closer look at the content of the message, James seemed to have noticed something in advance. He turned off the screen of his mobile phone and then turned it on again.
The screensaver prominently displays a young and beautiful mother and daughter.
Just judging from the pixels and style of the photo, it seems to be taken a long time ago.
"This is my family, how is it?"
"Yes, you have a very cute daughter and a beautiful wife. Are they currently living in Xia Country?"
Gu Jian didn't feel ashamed of being caught, but answered naturally.
James shook his head.
"No, four years ago, they had a car accident and have been..."
No wonder this photo has aged so well.
"Oh sorry, please forgive my rudeness."
When Gu Jian heard the word "car accident", he couldn't help but think of the car accident he and Gu Ji had.
But soon, he reacted.
If James' wife and daughter had both died in the car accident, then what did he mean by saying they would meet after this flight...
"Om~"
At this moment, the screen vibrated and lit up again.
It’s still that deep universe and the mysterious black spherical background.
In the center was a string of white English words:
THEO.
The following line of small characters clearly showed:
[The target preparation has been completed, and you can start the action! 】
……
After reviewing the previous plot, I found that I had remembered the identity of the monk-robed man wrong. The protagonist had already known about the existence of the real monk-robed man on the plane leaving Nepal, so I made some minor changes to this chapter and the end of the previous chapter. I am very sorry!
