Chapter 899: The First Step of the Lin Group...?

When Bohemia returned to Exodus in a daze, Lin Sanjiu, who had just finished signing in, was waiting for her in a grove of cedar trees at the foot of the mountain.

Sitting on a large stone shaded by shadows, Lin Sanjiu had put on a new mask, but she still looked like a rough and fat middle-aged man. When she silently emerged from the shade of the trees, she almost received a heavy psychic attack from Bohemia.

"...So, it's you," surprisingly, Bohemia didn't show her usual displeasure. She just drooped her eyebrows and eyes, and in a low-spirited tone, complained, "You look so ugly, like a pervert."

Lin Sanjiu ignored her and glanced behind her. All the words she had in mind instantly melted away like ice and snow, leaving only a growing sense of doubt.

"Where did you get such a big bag?" she asked, frowning.

The huge bag made of thick plastic capsules was still being dragged and b.u.mped along the ground by Bohemia. From a distance, one could see the dust being kicked up as it stumbled and rolled. When it finally came to a stop, there were a few twists and turns from inside, indicating that there were living creatures inside

Then, the creatures stood up inside the bag and hummed, "h.e.l.lo."

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth wide.

Before she could figure out how to respond to the current situation, the two voices, which sounded exactly the same, continued speaking.

"Can you let us out now?"

"I feel like it should be safe around here."

"It's actually none of your business if it's not safe."

"And, it's safer than being dragged around in a bag."

Bohemia turned around and shouted, "Shut up!" Then, she looked straight into Lin Sanjiu's eyes, pondered for a while, and finally turned her head to undo the ties on the bag. The worn-out fabric instantly spread open, and two men with ragged clothes and hair all over their faces hurriedly jumped out of the bag and plopped down on the groundit seemed like they had already exhausted all their energy from being dragged all the way.

"They..." Lin Sanjiu asked, hesitated for a moment, and turned to the two people who looked very similar except for the color of their s.h.i.+rts and the length of their fur. She asked, "Who are you?"

"Names... it's been a long time since we've used them," said the fur person in the red s.h.i.+rt.

"What were we called again?"

"Anyway, it's just a code name."

"You can call us A and B," the fur person in the green s.h.i.+rt thought for a moment, "I'll be A."

Lin Sanjiu rubbed her forehead and looked up to ask Bohemia for an explanationthis woman who was always energetic and seemed to be filled with gunpowder, whose every word crackled, now appeared somewhat languid.

"Their abilities are very special," Bohemia said lackadaisically, "They can capture and a.n.a.lyze a lot of information... I originally went to find them to inquire about some news, but the conversation was interrupted. To prevent them from being hunted down, I had no choice but to bring them back and explain slowly."

In other words, she had kidnapped two innocent posthumans.

"Is there any important news that you have to bring them back to discuss?" Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice, feeling a bit uneasy. After all, Puppeteer was still treating inside Exodus, and it might not be safe to bring outsiders in casually. "If the conversation was interrupted, you can just ask next time!"

Bohemia glared at her, and her anger rekindled visibly fast, "You have the nerve to say that? Are you serious?"

Lin Sanjiu inexplicably stared at Bohemia, not knowing how she had offended her again. However, it seemed that Bohemia had recalled something, as her anger quickly extinguished, as if she had been doused in ice and snow.

"I don't care anymore. Hey, you two, whether it's about the Great Deluge or the Twelve Organizations, discuss it with her. I'm going back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards Exodus alone, appearing lethargic. She didn't turn back at all. Her shoulders slumped, and her steps lacked energy, as if she had been crushed into a tiny figure by an invisible and heavy world, until she disappeared on the other side of the hill.

Lin Sanjiu retracted her gaze and saw the two furry individuals still standing in place. She walked up to them and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, she has always been willful and arbitrary. But... do you know anything about the Great Deluge?"

As she said that, she herself was somewhat skeptical.

The two furry individuals exchanged glances and then stared straight at her, neither of them speaking. Their needle-like hair and beard stood on end, p.r.i.c.kling into the surrounding air. Just as Lin Sanjiu felt at a loss under their intense gaze, they suddenly exclaimed, "So, you're the source of the news about the Great Deluge!"

"How do you know?" Lin Sanjiu's expression immediately turned serious.

"Captured information," the two individuals answered in unison, "Through a series of a.n.a.lyzed imprints, it wasn't that difficult to guess..."

Capture? a.n.a.lysis?

Although there were still many things she didn't understand, Lin Sanjiu instantly realized the peculiarity of the two individuals before her.

"On another note," the furry individual in the red s.h.i.+rt spoke again.

"We informed Bohemia that Yu Yuan is still alive through data a.n.a.lysis," the furry individual in the green s.h.i.+rt continued.

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to see him before his teleportation."

"Yes, but we didn't receive any payment for this."

"She also didn't fulfill the exchange agreement by informing us about the Great Deluge." The twins swiftly responded to each other's words.

"Since she's your friend"

"You can decide"

"Whether to pay for her or exchange information with us?"

Even though she wasn't exceptionally intelligent, Lin Sanjiu could still hear something astonis.h.i.+ng from their words: this pair of twins seemed to be able to a.n.a.lyze things they hadn't personally witnessed, accurately, from hundreds of miles away through "information" and "data" and the like.

Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes as she looked at them.

"Besides money," in order to appear gentle and amiable, she grinned and said, "Is there anything else you want? Of course, money and information are not a problem."

The twins exchanged glances.

When Exodus opened its airlock with a "whoosh," even Silas' gentle electronic voice seemed to contain a hint of emotional fluctuation, "Good afternoon. Are there two more guests?."

The twins exclaimed, and their four dirty and unrecognizable shoes made a clattering sound as they stepped on the floor of the corridor. Their two furry heads spun around, whether they were busy "collecting information" or marveling at the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, they seemed too preoccupied to speak.

"Consider them employees," Lin Sanjiu replied without hesitation, "From today onwards, they work for me."
