Chapter 341 The scapegoat is actually the security guard

But Lao Mo reached out and gently pressed his shoulder, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Lin Yi suddenly calmed down a little, and then immediately realized that there was something going on.

After comforting Lin Yi, Lao Mo waited quietly.

Lin Yi also began to sense it. He had witnessed the whole process of Kuai Hongji "hacking" into the matrix from Kuai Hongji's perspective, but he was only a bystander at the time. Now, with Lao Mo by his side, he took a little... "peek" at this matrix composed of a large number of large gypsum bodies.

"Vision Insight" is launched!

Lin Yi originally just greeted him in his heart for fun, but he didn't expect that this thought would actually trigger a certain "switch". As he gave an order, some sporadic points of light suddenly burst out of his eyes like a lighter.

Then, a "puff" sound seemed to ring in his heart, and a golden flame suddenly burned in the depths of his eyes...

"Buzz——"

Lin Yi felt that everything around him had become dim. Even though the desolate land was already dark and chaotic, with mist everywhere, under the observation of "Visual Insight", even the gray fog was filtered...

Some superficial things were swept away by his vision, while the trajectories of some deep-seated supernatural powers were slowly outlined in his vision.

The invisible grid lines that were distributed inside the dome slowly emerged in his field of vision again, and began to spread out like ripples with him as the center...

Lao Mo, who was closest to Lin Yi, had a gleam of light flashing across his eyes. He slightly side-glanced and focused his attention on Lin Yi.

"Um……?!"

Auxiliary "field"? An idea came to Lao Mo's mind, but he immediately realized a more serious problem - No, this kind of field...!
He didn't say anything more, but quietly reached out and placed his hand on the butcher knife.

As Lin Yi observed, some terrifying waves appeared in the barren land as if in response to an empty valley, as if the boundary of the two domains produced a tide-like wave the moment they came into contact, and then surged towards Lin Yi.

And just when this wave appeared, a trace of imperceptible breath flashed from the blade of the butcher knife, and directly overturned the wave that rolled back like the second wave...

Lin Yi, who was expanding his vision, also felt that his progress was suppressed at the previous moment, but in the next moment, he found that Lao Mo seemed to have pushed him, allowing his vision to continue to expand smoothly...

The grid lines in his field of vision slowly spread out, but as they spread out, he began to discover that this barren land was not a flat layer, but a surface that was constantly wriggling and producing ripples.

If you stick a piece of plastic film on the sea surface, when the sea breeze blows across the water, the plastic film will ripple, and this desolate land will look like this.

What's even more bizarre is that the deeper one goes into the barren land, the denser the grid lines become.

This immediately reminded Lin Yi of the gravity model. The pit was like a celestial body that generated gravity, constantly gathering everything around it.

He naturally knew what lay deep within the desolate land—that strange abyss that emitted a rhythmic breathing sound and squeezed out solidified extraordinary power from the cracks like rubber.

The large gypsum bodies distributed on the barren land are like chess pieces scattered on the grid lines. According to some special arrangement rules, like electronic components, the grid lines form more complex extraordinary power flow trajectories. These trajectories, like particle accelerators, make the entire matrix a kind of engine...

However, now, the flow process of supernatural power in it is not stable. It is like a dam is built in the place where the stream should not be cut off, and the dam is widened in the place where it should be cut off, making the river basin that should be stable become an area with dangerous water conditions.

In some places, some properties of large gypsum bodies seem to have been destroyed, which has a direct counterproductive effect.

As for the little fanatic leader, after opening the matrix, he began to go to great lengths to "drain the water", seemingly wanting to dredge a relatively stable watershed within it...

Lin Yi had some understanding of the behavior of the fanatic leader. He guessed that after sorting out such a stable watershed, the fanatic leader would abandon other large gypsum bodies. The abandoned part might be the "bad debt" that Lao Mo would deal with?
At this moment, Lao Mo's voice rang in his ears: "That's enough... I can't stop you from peeping any more."

Lin Yi shuddered, his vision suddenly shattered, and the golden light in his eyes also went out.

He recovered and called out, "Lao Mo."

Lao Mo nodded slightly, quietly moved closer, and then whispered: "Just pull off the underwear, and you still want to pat her butt. If you are discovered, I can't protect you."

Lin Yi shrank his neck.

Not long after, the entire matrix began to tremble, and a rumbling sound was heard under the barren land, as if lava was roaring and was about to collapse.

Feeling this sudden change, some of the fanatics became terrified. The weird art teacher also looked around, and a look of panic appeared on her gray face under the cloak.

On the contrary, Lao Mo, after sensing the changes in the matrix, burst out laughing: "Did you guys mess up this matrix?"

The weird art teacher angrily asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lao Mo smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know. After all, you were also 'sent here voluntarily'."

"You!" The weird art teacher's face suddenly turned red with anger, but she did not dare to speak out because the fanatic leader was doing something right next to her.

The fanatical leader's expression also changed, but he didn't pay attention to Lao Mo's ridicule, and just continued to mobilize the power of the matrix.

Lao Mo let go of the butcher knife, clasped his hands over his chest, and looked at the funny scene in front of him with interest.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had used "Visual Insight" to observe the general "appearance" of the barren land before, but now Lin Yi could easily sense some changes underground even under normal circumstances.

According to his current perception, the entire matrix was like an engine that used watered-down fuel. It kept shaking "kukuku" and even emitted black smoke, but it just couldn't start completely.

No wonder Lao Mo said that the matrix was messed up by them.

The weird art teacher also had a sullen face and said nothing. It would be a great shame if this matter were made public. They were a group of fanatics gathered together, but their home was robbed and the matrix was tampered with in front of them.

Not only had they tampered with it, but in the end the matrix was actually detonated. Many of them actually looked injured under their cloaks. If it weren't for the clothes that concealed their injuries, they would have been in a very miserable state now.

What makes them feel most aggrieved is that, even now, they don’t know when the other party completed the tampering, let alone finding the culprit.

Lin Yi also discovered it when he activated "Visual Insight" just now. The fanatics have no way to repair the matrix that was "hacked" by Kuai Hongji. It has become a mess, and the fanatic leader is now sorting out the "relatively unproblematic" part of the mess.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that just sorting out the part of the accounts that has no problems is enough to make him anxious.

"Is it okay? If not, forget it. I'll destroy the entire matrix for you." Lao Mo touched the butcher knife and felt eager to try. The fanatic leader was anxious when he heard this. I asked you to settle the account, but why did you have such a dangerous idea of ​​tearing up the account book?

"No, no, no... Creating the matrix is ​​not easy. Can't you take care of our hard work?"

Lao Mo sneered: "This matrix was built at the cost of so many lives. Do I need to repeat it to you? You're still talking about 'hard work'? Haha, I'm afraid it's not 'your hard work', right?"

"I repeat again, these are all necessary sacrifices!" said the fanatic leader angrily.

"Hey, you're calling me? Do you want to reason with me?" Lao Mo instinctively grasped the handle of the butcher knife at his waist.

At that moment, Lin Yi clearly felt that all the fanatics around him were startled, and the weird art teacher and the fanatic leader even subconsciously stepped back.

"No, no, no... You are right, can't I just listen to you?" The fanatic leader quickly gave in, "Let's talk nicely, isn't it wrong for you to pull out your weapon at every turn? So let's do this..."

As he spoke, he slowly withdrew his hand from the large plaster in front of him.

"I have tried my best to save part of the matrix... the remaining ones that are still running are out of control. You should 'level them up' for me. If the higher-ups ask about it, I will say it was you who did it. We couldn't stop you no matter how hard we tried." The fanatic leader weakly negotiated.

Lao Mo glanced at him and said, "It's not good for me to take the blame every time. Let's just follow the old rules and say that a security guard got lost and chased the angry angel here, and then...you can make it up as you like."

When Lin Yi heard the words "old rules", his eyelids twitched violently. What a familiar trap...

It turns out that the Security Emperor is the real scapegoat? !
Looking at the appearance of the fanatic leader, Lin Yi seemed to have foreseen the scene in which the fanatic leader and the surrounding fanatics would collude with each other and respond to the superiors.

"It can't be repaired anyway, so why not just not repair it..."

"When the higher-ups asked, they said it was destroyed."

……

"What? Could it be that we broke it in the first place?"

"how could it be possible!"

"It was directly conquered by the enemy!"

"We tried hard, but it was useless. We couldn't stop it..."

"You know that too, security guard! Security guard!"

"Such a big security guard! With a lamp in his left hand and a baseball bat in his right hand, he chased the angry angel and chopped him down. If our matrix hadn't been activated in time, we would have been wiped out by him!"

"What? Why is the security guard coming to our side?"

"If I had known, I would have taken precautions in advance. Would I have ended up like this?"

"We took great pains to preserve this last part."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, we also suffered heavy losses..."

"Oh, it's not hard, it's not hard, it's what I should do, yes, yes... yes, yes, yes... it's okay, it's okay, we can do it again..."

……

Those scenes appeared vividly in Lin Yi's mind. He even imagined the scene where the weird art teacher changed back into her professional attire and followed the fanatical leader like a secretary, nodding and bowing to the boss above.

Damn it, the overall economic environment is bad, is even the workplace of the fanatics so chaotic?
On the other side, the fanatic leader also wiped his sweat and said thoughtfully: "Security... It's not impossible, anyway, it's almost the same."

Lao Mo was very satisfied with this answer: "The issue of the pot, oh no, the issue of the person responsible has been resolved, let's talk about the compensation, shall we?"

"You have a lot of bad debts this time, so the reward... needs to be increased."

"I will increase it as appropriate." said the fanatic leader.

"Is it your turn to 'discretion'?" Lao Mo sneered and held out his hand, "Pay half first."

The corner of the fanatic leader's mouth twitched: "We have cooperated so many times, are you still afraid that I will default on my debt?"

"It was just a minor matter before, but now that there are so many debts, I am really scared."

"You..." The fanatic leader bared his teeth, "Alright!"

He gritted his teeth, reached under his cloak, and fumbled inside the cloak.

As he groped around, his face, which was already somewhat unnaturally gray, suddenly turned as dark as death. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he had been sprained in the waist.

Lin Yi was horrified as he watched. His intuition told him that there seemed to be some other "style" under the cloak of this fanatical leader, and the process of taking things out was not as simple as just taking something out.

Finally, the fanatic leader slowly took out a few strange stone pieces from under his cloak.

These stone pieces are generally milky white like mutton-fat jade, diamond-shaped and a bit spindle-shaped, with some slight bumps in the middle, like fragments of some sculpture.

But if you look closely, you will find that the edges of the "fragment" are surprisingly smooth, without any cracks at all.

"That's not a fragment... it's a complete whole." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, trying to see more carefully, "Hey, why does this thing look like... some kind of scale?"

"Three pieces?" Lao Mo raised his eyebrows.

The fanatic leader gritted his teeth and said, "I only have four pieces on me. I can't give them all to you."

Lao Mo looked him up and down, then said with a fake smile, as if jokingly but not really: "If I had known this would happen, would I have just killed you?"
