Conan Rick's Investigator

"This is the first time we meet, please take care of me."

After shaking hands, Hondou Eisuke performed the traditional Japanese 90-degree bow, and his head almost hit Patrick.

But at the moment of impact, Patrick's upper body quickly retracted, avoiding the headbutt attack.

When Hondou Eisuke straightened his back, he stood up again without leaving any trace.

"Come on, everyone, take a seat..."

"Order whatever you want to drink. It's my treat today."

……

After the three of them sat down, they each ordered a cup of different types of coffee in the store.

Patrick still ordered American coffee, Hondou Eisuke ordered cappuccino, and Qin Zhibo ordered the most expensive civet coffee in the store.

After the waiter who served the three people coffee walked away, Patrick took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and said, "Mr. Qin, we reviewed your information repeatedly yesterday and believe that the situation you described is true."

"In order to help Hondou Eikai continue his mission, we hope you will join us and become a link between us and the likes of Hondou Eikai."

What Patrick said was exactly the result of the discussion after yesterday's meeting.

Instead of sending limited manpower to Japan now and taking the risk of being wiped out at any time, it is better to utilize the existing manpower and resources.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly at this and didn't take it seriously.

"Join the CIA?"

"I'm sorry, I finally got free from the FBI's cage and have no intention of putting on another pair of shackles."

"I helped Yin Sen and the others only out of friendship and as a favor."

Hondou Eisuke, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and glanced at Qin Zhibo, and a strange look flashed across his face.

Hearing Qin Zhibo's refusal, Patrick was not anxious and replied with a smile.

"Don't you want to know the truth?"

During the conversation yesterday, Patrick also learned the content of Yin Sen’s letter. Qin Zhibo told him personally.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo snorted coldly and disagreed with the "truth".

"The truth? All I see now are lies."

"How can this be seen?"

"Your name is a lie..."

After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Patrick was stunned for a moment, gradually restrained his smile, and stared at the man in front of him seriously.

name?

Why did he know that my name was a fake one?

Have they already investigated my identity in advance?

Patrick thought he had done a great job of disguising himself. He had been using this pseudonym for many years, and it was impossible to tell from his facial expressions that he was lying.

Unless your identity and background have been investigated by the other party.

Speaking of which, it's quite unusual that the other party was able to contact me while I was in the CIA.

Thinking of this, Patrick had a completely new understanding of Qin Zhibo.

"Using a pseudonym is the organization's rule, and it wasn't a pseudonym, it was a 'code name'."

"Even though you may already know my true identity, I still insist that you call me 'Patrick'."

Is the pseudonym a code name? This is somewhat unexpected.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't show this surprise on his face. He continued calmly and asked, "Then can you introduce the organization you mentioned?"

"Okay, that's exactly why I came here..."

Patrick sat up straight and told the story.

"When most people think of the CIA, they think of the current Pany."

"But in fact, the predecessor of the CIA was the Office of Strategic Services, an intelligence agency established by President Roosevelt to deal with war crises."

"The OSS was different from the current CIA. The OSS director at the time ignored administrative regulations and recruited a large number of talented people from society, from professors and scholars from prestigious universities, wealthy businessmen, artists and police officers to thieves, robbers, laborers and prostitutes..."

"Anyone who possesses a skill and has the potential to be trained to become a suitable intelligence professional can become a member of the oSS."

"And within the then-current OSS system, the special intelligence unit 'Green Delta' was born..."

Patrick stopped talking abruptly, glanced at Qin Zhibo and Hondou Eisuke beside him, and said solemnly.

"What I'm about to say is confidential. After you leave here, you must not mention this to anyone."

"But before I tell you, I want to ask this kid..."

Patrick's gaze turned to Hondou Eisuke, and it was obvious that he was the "boy".

"Do you believe in God?"

"Do you believe in the existence of supernatural powers in this world, and the paranormal phenomena that accompany these powers?"

These two questions are obviously simplified versions of the questions Patrick asked Qin Zhibo yesterday.

This is what is commonly known as "subjective questions".

But for Hondou Eisuke, his brain couldn't accept such a powerful question for a while. He blinked twice and asked Patrick with a dazed expression.

"W-what?"

"Do you believe in God or supernatural powers in this world?"

"Well..." Hondou Eisuke held his chin in his hand and fell into thought.

Something suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he raised his head and replied, "I'm not sure if those things exist, but if they do exist, I'm willing to believe them."

Materialism... Patrick instantly made a judgment on Hondou Eisuke's brain logic.

This answer is quite standard. Most people who are not very inspired are like this, including himself.

"What if I were to tell you that supernatural powers really exist? And there's even God..."

Hondou Eisuke Tongkong trembled slightly, and gave a strong answer after a few seconds.

"I'm willing to believe it!"

"Good! You have potential..."

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting next to them, watched the two people talking. If he didn't know for sure that supernatural powers existed, he would have thought that two mental patients were discussing their illnesses.

After providing "psychological counseling" to Hondou Eisuke, Patrick continued his introduction.

"Since ancient times, supernatural forces have existed on Earth, such as gods, magic, strange creatures, and so on..."

"They may have existed on Earth since time immemorial. It's difficult for humans to explore their origins, but we can use their power to achieve certain goals."

"For example, during the war, the German SS secretly established an organization called the 'Index Society'."

"The purpose of the Index is to gather intelligence and practices related to the occult in order to achieve victory in war."

"The purpose of establishing Green Delta was to fight against the Index."

"After the war, the new president abolished the entire oSS, and Green Delta was disbanded along with it."

"Later, the CIA, with the OSS as its predecessor, was established, and Delta Green was subsequently established, but it failed in Operation Obsidian in 1969 and the entire department was abolished."

"The following year, the Green Delta members, unwilling to disband, held secret meetings and spontaneously formed an organization. They resumed their activities in 1971 and continue to do so until today."

"Hondou Eisuke, that's when your father became a member of Green Delta."

Having said that, Patrick changed the subject and turned to Yinsen Bentang.

"Your father was already a CIA agent before joining Delta Green. After joining Delta Green, he was given the codename 'Yin Sen'."

"Almost all members of Green Delta hold positions in government departments. We have people in the CIA, FBI, IRS, Army Intelligence, Navy SEALs, etc."

"In order to avoid our organization being discovered, we use code names when conducting missions involving our organization."

"After the reconstruction, Delta Green organized its members into 26 cells from A to Z. Each cell has three people, and the first letter of their code name refers to the cell they belong to."

"Your father, Yin Sen, is a member of the E-cell."

Chapter 982 The Second Meeting

Patrick's words made Qin Zhibo and Hondou Eisuke fall into a brief period of thought.

Even Qin Zhibo didn't expect that Yinsen Bentang had a great background. It was a hidden government department that specialized in serving mysterious knowledge and forbidden existence, similar to the men in black in the film.

As far as he knew, the only positive organizations that had access to those taboo levels seemed to be the Nine Angels and Green Delta.

There was also Randy Hawke's Fantastic Circus, which could also be considered a small group that had access to mystical knowledge.

In fact, that's right.

Qin Zhibo has come into contact with many groups with evil intentions, such as Zoroastrianism, the Yellow Brotherhood, Voodoo, the Tulpa Cult, the Blood Tongue Organization, the Society of Bloated Women, and so on.

Since these organizations exist in this world, there must be positive groups to fight against them.

However, Qin Zhibo was not very optimistic about the existence of the Green Delta. He still extracted key information from the story.

"So, the US government no longer recognizes the existence of the Green Delta?"

Patrick nodded. "Theoretically, that's right. We're a 'non-existent' organization, just like the OSS in the past and the CIA today."

"Our achievements are destined to remain hidden from the world, but our failures will have far-reaching consequences..."

"But even so, we are determined to protect people from the threat of paranormal phenomena."

As soon as these words were spoken, a crystal light flashed in the eyes of Hondou Eisuke, who had already determined to join them.

It turns out that my father and sister are doing such a great thing...

Patrick's words are exactly the doctrine of the CIA organization and the current situation of Green Delta.

In fact, Patrick did not tell all the important information about the Green Delta.

For example, the U.S. government did not completely abandon its research on mysterious knowledge and forbidden existence, but instead established a new department to replace the Green Delta.

The new department is called MJ-12. The famous urban legend Area 51 was founded by MJ-12!

In 1947, the J-12 and the Green Delta existed at the same time.

The two departments are somewhat similar, but also have many differences.

The mJ-12 was built based on the "Rosswell incident" in 1947, which was the most famous UFO fall incident in the world at that time.

The president at the time believed that being the first to contact aliens would allow them to obtain more powerful science and technology and thus dominate the world, so he decided to establish MJ-12 and approved the establishment of Area 51 in northern Las Vegas.

Therefore, the main mission of MJ-12 is to contact and cooperate with aliens, and it is a "spear".

The original purpose of the establishment of Green Delta was to investigate occult knowledge and fight against the SS's "Index Society", rejecting all threats from external things and acting as a "shield".

The two organizations were established with different starting points and very different philosophies, which led to constant conflicts between the two sides.

Ultimately, Delta Green lost the conflict and was removed from the official government department.

This also means that to this day, Green Delta's biggest enemy is still the MJ-12.

After losing its competitor Delta Green, the MJ-12 has become increasingly powerful and has started cooperating with the alien "Gray Force". It is currently in great demand.

In comparison, Green Delta currently has only 26x3, with a total of 78 "regular" members.

In addition to these formal members, Green Delta also has many "helpers".

Some of them fully understood the organization's situation, while others had only a vague understanding or simply did not know of the existence of the Green Delta.

When Yinsen Bentang asked Vince Qin to assist him, he also wanted to develop the latter into an assistant, and maybe even officially enter the "cell".

However, the Green Delta currently does not have a good understanding of Qin and has not told him the implicit rules of cell nomenclature.

That is, the closer the member's letter is to the front of the green triangle, the closer he is to the core of the organization.

The three members of Cell A are the three giants of Delta Green.

……

Afterwards, Qin Zhibo had a series of conversations with Patrick about the current situation.
