Chapter 333 Investigation Competition

In a dark corner of the city, in a basement, a large number of computer screens were dimly lit.

This is a hacker's residence.

"Okay, we've cracked it."

The computer chair turned around, and the young hacker with dark circles under his eyes left the computer and gave his seat to Ripley.

Ripley leaned over to the computer and looked at it. At first she looked quite angry, but gradually her expression became a little strange.

"What exactly is on it?"

Xiao stood behind and asked curiously.

Although she planned to find them based on the locators placed on David and Daniels.

But before that, she chose to see what was in the encrypted information brought back from Aurora.

David is a lackey of Weiland Company. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Moreover, she already had a vague premonition of the current situation.

She noticed Daniels' occasional discomfort on the spacecraft, which reminded her of her own situation.

So she had reminded Daniels long ago, and Daniels wore the locator voluntarily.

Therefore, Xiao is not very anxious at the moment.

Hearing her question, Ripley hesitated for a moment and made way for her: "Come and see for yourself."

"If you want to know information about the company, you can ask me directly."

At this time, Ash, who was left with only a head at the back of the room, spoke up.

The two women turned a deaf ear to his words.

The young hacker who cracked the encrypted file heard this and asked curiously,

"Aren't you the company's bionic man? Are you willing to sell out the company's information?"

"Of course." Ash said calmly, "Because I want to trade information with you."

"What exchange?"

"I will give you company intelligence that is not in your file, so that you can infiltrate the company's headquarters, and you must take me with you."

"Don't even think about it!" Ripley answered immediately and continued to look at the information.

The computer screen reflects densely packed confidential documents about the company.

The initial documents were all reports and descriptions of the Black Water experiments, from which it could be seen that Weyland used living people for experiments.

And they have achieved quite good results, such as a series of black water monsters code-named "Alien" and a black water potion that can be used for human enhancement.

In addition, they seem to have developed a real black water "plague" with extremely strong lethality.

Almost all the parts of black water that can induce mutations in organisms have been eliminated, highlighting its destructiveness to organisms.

It can gradually transform organisms into the most basic black water.

What was this for? Were the top executives of Weyland Corporation crazy and wanted to destroy all of humanity?

With this question in mind, the two continued to watch.

The content of the data gradually changes.

The original rigorous experimental report has turned into something vague and unclear.

It was like the mumbling of a person half asleep and half awake, filled with jumbled sentences.

The whole article seems to be describing a certain existence or phenomenon.

The writer seems to have deliberately used confusing grammar to hide what he really wanted to describe under these illegible sentences.

Mixed among them are some exploration reports that are quite old.

These reports show that Weyland had discovered black water a long time ago.

The report even hinted in an ambiguous way that they knew the ultimate origin of the black water.

Seeing this, Ripley and Shaw couldn't help but look at each other.

Paradise Star is so far away from human territory. How did Weyland Company find it?

What is the ultimate origin of the black water?

Apart from these confusing things, the date of the last report is very recent.

The content was still relatively vague, but what they interpreted from those few words was enough to make the two of them break out in cold sweats.

The report seemed to suggest that Wieland's top brass had received some kind of "revelation."

They will carry out a super-large "ritual" based on black water.

The specific content could not be seen, but this information alone, combined with the previous information, was enough for the two to imagine something very scary.

"We have to stop Weiland's actions!"

At this time, Ash's head in the shadows behind him spoke again:

"If you want to stop the company, you must find the company's top executives. Now they are all in the company's headquarters building, planning something."

"The headquarters building has an extremely tight security system. You will never be able to break into that place with brute force."

"You need someone who knows the building well... like me."

"..." Ripley and Xiao fell silent.

At this time, Xiao looked at the movements of David and Daniels on the locator.

"The location of these two people should be the company's headquarters building, right?"

…

After going through layer after layer of extremely strict identity verification, David walked into the fortress-like building.

"David." A android who looked exactly like Ash - or rather, another Ash - walked over.

After nodding to his "fellow tribe member", "Ash" asked calmly:

"Now that the top management of Weyland Corporation has a conflict with its founder Peter Weyland, why did you, as Mr. Weyland's bionic man, return alone?"

"Because--" David said briefly, "Mr. Wieland is dead."

"Mr. Weiland finally failed to withstand the invasion of aging?"

"Yes," David said, "so I returned to the company and continued to serve the company."

"I brought back the interesting black water life that I cultivated. It is the last piece of the puzzle to complete the 'Alien' series. I'm sure the company's top executives will be interested in it."

"Is that so? Wait... the higher-ups just issued an order that I will lead you to meet them."

An hour later, David took the elevator down from the top floor of the headquarters building.

Even though the outside world is in a state of depression, people are being invaded by black water, as if it is the end of the world.

The building remains bright and beautiful both inside and out, as if it were operating in another peaceful world.

David walked out of the elevator on a certain floor and came to a laboratory room with three transparent sides.

Daniels had long since woken up from his coma and looked at him calmly through the glass.

She touched her belly.

Sure enough, there was something inside her.

Once she swallowed the locator, even the building's strict security could not detect it.

Instead, it seemed like something else was found.

Although she seemed to be used as an experimental subject at the moment, she was not too panicked.

She believed that Xiao and others would come to rescue her.

And David didn't look like he was going to hurt himself.

David stared at the calm and composed Daniels for a long while.

He was about to press a button, but suddenly an image of a monster flashed through his mind.

So he pressed the call button instead and said,

"I'm No. 001 David. The experiment I'm in charge of requires someone to perform a laparotomy."

"...Yes, we can't use intelligent robots. This is a very special situation. The object we need to retrieve is extremely important to the company."

Soon, Daniels was anesthetized. On the operating table, several extremely experienced doctors could not help but tremble their hands.

A creature was pulled out from her body.

The creature, covered in blood, was immediately sent to another experimental site.

A new round of black water experiments was launched within Wieland Corporation.

…

"Cooperate in the investigation?"

After hearing You Huan's suggestion through the conversation in the spiritual world, Joshua lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Based on what he knew now, he believed that the shell in front of him was the original life form, but the core was a creature from the heavens. If it only had the tendency to fight, it was enough to fight against him.

Moreover, his spiritual power and other means are also excellent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in front of him out of curiosity.

but...

"If we were just collaborating on an investigation, wouldn't it be boring?" He gave a very normal smile and said very seriously.

"If we want to maximize the efficiency of the investigation, why don't we have an 'investigation competition'?"

　I found that the monthly votes this month exceeded 100, so I added +1. I just added one chapter, and now I am back to the state of owing seven chapters for additional chapters...
