Chapter 952 Lieutenant Colonel Abigail

Sensing the unusually serious atmosphere in the living room, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little confused about the next direction of the plot.

Since the Holy Ashan Empire was defeated in the war three years ago, the Binhai City Naval Base has been forced to be leased to the Far East Navy. This is undoubtedly a huge shame.

As an official of the Ashan Empire, Mr. Gordon had private contacts with senior officers of the Far East Navy. If the news leaked out, his career would probably end there.

Gao Fei has a good impression of Mr. Gordon. This tough-minded police officer who insists on justice refuses to collude with the gangs and should not commit treason.

To take a step back, even if Mr. Gordon was really a spy paid by the Far East military, he would not risk being exposed and let outsiders see his private meeting with Lieutenant Colonel Abigail.

While he was secretly calculating, Lieutenant Colonel Abigail also looked at the three young people, including Gao Fei, with a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon. It took a while before breaking the silence in the living room.

"Now that Mr. Gordon says so, I have nothing to worry about."

"You gentlemen and ladies must also know that the security situation in Binhai City has been very unsatisfactory in recent years. Gang criminal activities in the city have become increasingly rampant. In the waters on both sides of the Belt Canal, the Raging Tide Pirates are even more lawless and frequently plunder the past. Merchant ship."

"Logically speaking, it is the responsibility of your Coast City police to crack down on gangs and pirates. It is not my turn, as a foreigner, to intervene."

"Mr. Gordon, I originally expected that your appointment would change the status quo. Unfortunately, so far, I have seen no signs of improvement in public security."

Being criticized in person by a foreign military officer for neglecting his duty, Mr. Gordon looked ugly, but he had no way to refute. After all, what Lieutenant Colonel Abigail said was true, which made him particularly embarrassed.

Lieutenant Colonel Abigail continued: "Recently, even the logistics contractors at our naval base have been blackmailed by gangs. After refusing to pay protection fees, the cargo ships transporting supplies were robbed by pirates. I don't think this is just a Coincidence, Mr. Gordon, what do you think?"

"Ahem...Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I have received a report. I cannot make any conclusions before the results of the investigation come out. However, I must admit that the Blood Anchor Gang who blackmailed the navy's material suppliers is indeed a die-hard ally of the Raging Tide Pirates. These two A criminal organization that often cooperates in operations in the city and at sea."

the police chief replied awkwardly.

"Mr. Gordon, my question is, when will this case be resolved and the supplier's losses be recovered?"

"Well... I'm sorry. The police force in the city is tense and I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time. Anyway, I will try my best."

Lieutenant Colonel Abigail was very dissatisfied with the police chief's perfunctory attitude, and her thick eyebrows knitted together.

"Mr. Gordon, I might as well put the ugly words up front. If you don't have the confidence to wipe out the gangs and fight against pirates, then our Far East Navy can only seek justice in our own way. The consequences of this, including possible You can’t be divorced from diplomatic disputes.”

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you don't have to knock me. In fact, I am more eager to fight crime than anyone else, including you, and completely eliminate the Blood Anchor Gang and the Raging Tide Pirates, two gangs that are greedy for blood on the arteries of Marina City. cancer!"

Mr. Gordon couldn't help but get excited, but soon his face turned pale.

"But... I'm not afraid of making fun of you. As the police chief, I'm just empty-handed. I can't even restrain my own men. I've been penetrated by gangs like a sieve. I've just formulated a plan to combat gangs and pirates. That day I How can we talk about strict law enforcement if it is leaked by a traitor?”

After listening to Mr. Gordon's complaint, Lieutenant Colonel Abigail had a look of sympathy on her face and her tone became softer.

"Please forgive me for being unreasonable, Mr. Gordon. The difficulties you revealed are completely consistent with the information I have. There is indeed a traitor colluding with pirates in your office building."

Gao Fei was listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but interjected with a thought: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, could it be inconvenient for me to elaborate, how did you know that there was a traitor in the police station?"

Lieutenant Colonel Abigail hesitated for a moment, seeming to weigh whether the private detective was trustworthy.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally answered Gao Fei's question.

"Mr. Wayne, have you heard of the 'Cloud Network'?"

"Of course I know that." Gao Fei's mouth trembled, resisting the urge to complain.

This so-called "cloud network" is the hottest menstruation topic on the Tianren Forum. From time to time, it is brought up by players in various ways and ridiculed, and it is jokingly called "the shame of the Tiangong Game Design Department".

According to the game settings, the "Cloud Net" is a "super mystery lock" with the official background of the Korath Empire. It is similar to the "Skynet" established by Tiangong, but its scope is wider. It not only covers the entire world of Vales, but also Even parallel planes and some outer planes can also obtain services provided by the "Cloud Network".

If this is just a network that transmits magic power, and users can extract magic power from it and obtain spell-casting permissions, it wouldn't be worth making a fuss about.

However, what is outrageous is that in addition to the regular functions of the Mystery Lock, the Cloud Network can also be used to send and receive mails and packages, transmit audio and video signals, listen to radio and video programs, open financial accounts, store magic and earn interest, and even Forums, online news and shopping sites…

Isn’t this just copying the real-world Internet?

Including Gao Fei, when the trainee SWAT officers first came into contact with Yunwang in the game, they all felt a very strong sense of disobedience.

The era background in the game is equivalent to the early 19th century in Blue Star, which is the level of the first industrial revolution, but with many supernatural factors added.

For example, as the engine of the industrial revolution, the steam engine in the game is driven by magic crystal instead of coal, and its work efficiency is much higher.

Overall, this is a fantasy world with a magic + steampunk background, with guns and steamships, but there is no way a cross-era technology like the Internet could exist.

Because of this, trainee special police officers who are trained in the game world often complain about "Cloud Network" on forums, and jointly request the official to delete this setting when updating the game version, so as not to damage the overall style of the game background.

However, strangely enough, the Tiangong Game Design Department, which has always accepted user suggestions humbly, was surprisingly stubborn this time. No matter how sarcastic and sarcastic everyone was, it refused to change. It even made a strange statement in the official reply:

“Whether you like it or not, the Cloud Network is there and it’s here to stay.”
