I write obituaries for the gods

She made a chisel-like motion.

Lin Chen understood everything at once.

It's about what happened when they got Chris Oh imprisoned...

“I’m sorry, thinking about it now, it really is a bit offensive,” he said.

Military generals are not good with words...

“I told you it’s nothing,” Shen Xuanyi comforted. “In short, the entire Rain City Star is under heavy guard right now. If you want to know where that strong artificial intelligence is, the best way is to get close to Mr. Iron Face.”

"And the way to get close to Mr. Iron Face is to join his party...the second half."

"I have a feeling my eyes are going to suffer," Lin Chen murmured.

Jiang Zhengge! Why don't you carry out this mission yourself!

Is this how college graduates use it?!

At this moment, the luxury car drove into the parking lot below Yudu Star and drove all the way into the underground garage.

After getting out of the car, a group of bodyguards in suits surrounded them and escorted them.

“These are all our brothers. They will protect us before we enter the party, so don’t worry,” Shen Xuanyi said. “Just follow me and pretend that you don’t speak Chinese well. I will introduce you to Mr. Iron Face’s henchmen.”

"Ok."

Lin Chen straightened his tie, put on his sunglasses, and looked every bit the business tycoon.

After putting on makeup, he looked completely different from his original self.

"Entering Rain City Star." Lin Chen pressed his earpiece. "Operation code name, traffic control, commencing now."

"receive."

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and Lin Chen followed Shen Xuanyi onto the red carpet.

On the 75th floor, in the giant lobby of Rain City Star, the view is directly opposite the confluence of the two rivers, with a vast expanse of white outside the window.

The main structure of Rain City Star is a huge rhombus shape, starting from the 70th floor and ending at the 80th floor.

Generally, floors 70-75 are open to guests, and these floors are used as museums, restaurants, observation decks, and the like.

Simply put, it's a scam targeting tourists from other places.

From the 76th floor onwards, the functions of each floor become completely hidden.

The official explanation is that these levels are closely related to subspace research and therefore need to be kept secret. In the previous times they were opened to the public, they were just hosting subspace research reports and exhibitions, and there was nothing particularly suspicious about them.

But most of the time, these five floors are absolutely secluded.

"Ms. Shen, I didn't expect you to come to today's meeting."

An elderly man with a comical mustache and wearing a suit approached Shen Xuanyi, looking at her with a fawning expression.

"We all thought that after that incident, the misunderstanding between United Concrete Group and us would be difficult to resolve..."

“How could that be, Mr. K?” Shen Xuanyi smiled faintly. “I’ve already said it was a misunderstanding, so what’s so hard to resolve?”

Mr. K... he sounds like a high-ranking executive at the foundation.

"And who is this?" Mr. K asked, looking at Lin Chen.

“This is Thomas Lin, a businessman from the super-American,” Shen Xuanyi introduced. “To put it bluntly, he was persecuted by the White House and came to Yudu to try to do some business, but you didn’t welcome him, so he had no choice but to seek help from the down-on-his-luck Shen family.”

“What are you saying? United Concrete Group just won such a big project as the Iron Horn Bridge, how could they be down on their luck?” Mr. K smiled. “Thomas, buddy, by partnering with United Concrete, you actually found a good entry point. You should be happy.”

“I’m really, really happy,” Lin Chen said in broken Chinese, “but, Foundation, damn it! This is a great project, let me push forward!”

Lin Chen could clearly sense that Shen Xuanyi was suppressing laughter. It was hard to imagine what it would be like if such a dignified rich girl lost her composure and laughed.

He also felt a chill run down his spine: it was too difficult to imitate the speech of a fake foreigner.

“We can talk, we can talk…” Mr. K looked at Shen Xuanyi with a tentative gaze.

He wanted to know how much strength Lin Chen possessed.

“Thomas invested 200 million in the Iron Cape Bridge project,” Shen Xuanyi said calmly. “For him, it’s nothing.”

Holy crap, I cast so many votes?

Noticing Mr. K's gaze, Lin Chen quickly pushed up his sunglasses slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“You’re very capable,” Mr. K said with a beaming smile. “Oh, come this way, please.”

Clearly, after realizing that Thomas Lin was very wealthy, Mr. K, as a lackey of the foundation, began to carry out his efforts to win him over.

Mr. K led the two through the meeting hall to a relatively less crowded dining area and found a seat by the window.

This was the first time Lin Chen had ever sat in such a place. With just a turn of his head, he could take in the entire scenery of Yudu.

“So, Thomas,” Mr. K said with a smile as he sat down, “seriously, buddy, how did you manage to mess with the White House?”

“They’re trying to take me to Epstein Island, but I don’t want to go along with it,” Lin Chen gestured, “Loli Island, you know what I’m talking about.”

"Oh..."

Mr. K's gaze immediately darted away.

You idiot, you haven't been there, have you?

“They won’t let me on the island either,” Mr. K said. “I mean, they wanted me to come on the island, but I refused.”

666.

Lin Chen tried hard to keep his expression in check.

"The circles of Westerners are so dirty!" Mr. K lamented. "They want to win over elites like us and corrupt us on the island!"

“Egg! Bro!” Lin Chen nodded vigorously. “Westerners are so wicked!”

“That’s terrible!” Mr. K nodded.

"That's too bad..." Shen Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

......

Chapter 34 Mr. Iron Mask (Third and Fourth Updates)

After a conversation, Lin Chen felt that he and this Mr. K were completely on the same page.

Fortunately, he spends a lot of time online and knows a lot of conspiracy theories, so he can always keep the conversation going when he chats with Mr. K about this and that.

In short, when Lin Chen brought up the old cliché of "the Lizardmen have taken over the White House," Mr. K's expression suddenly turned as if he had found a comrade.

"So, do you understand what kind of enemy our foundation is facing?" He nodded solemnly to Lin Chen. "Super America, the beacon of humanity, the colossus that unified the entire American continent, is now sitting in the White House, but it's a reptilian!"

"The fact that you've survived the White House's pursuit and successfully arrived in Rain City proves that you do indeed possess your own methods..."

"I imagine your identity is more than just that of a businessman, isn't it?"

Mr. K looked like he had seen through the truth, and if Lin Chen hadn't been wearing sunglasses, he felt he wouldn't have been able to hold back.

He sighed softly and nodded solemnly.

"I think you can guess some of my identity by now, right?" Lin Chen said softly.

“I guessed it,” Mr. K nodded.

What did you guess...?

Lin Chen's lips curled slightly.

"It's not convenient to say more here, the CIA is still chasing me."

“I understand,” Mr. K said in a low voice. “Let me guess, since Miss Shen introduced you here, perhaps… you want to provide us with some… intelligence from the super-American?”

“Exactly,” Lin Chen replied before he could finish speaking, “I enjoy working with intelligent people.”

"Great, it's not convenient to talk here."

Mr. K looked left and right, then took out a business card from inside his suit and pushed it to Lin Chen.

“We’re having a little party tonight at nine o’clock,” he said in a low voice.

"The first half was just for fun, but the second half... we can have a proper chat about it."

Mr. K stood up, patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

After he left for a while, Lin Chen turned to look at Shen Xuanyi and shrugged:

"Is that all?"

“I was also a little…surprised,” Shen Xuanyi tidied her hair. “To be honest, I didn’t understand your conversation. What did he mistake you for?”

"I'm not quite sure either," Lin Chen sighed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen felt that he had created a more awesome persona than he had anticipated.

He was just a wealthy businessman, but now he's a member of some secret society...

"This... Mr. K, which department of the foundation does he work for?" Lin Chen suddenly asked curiously about this extraordinary person's department.

“It’s an intelligence agency,” Shen Xuanyi said, “but unlike the CIA or FBI, it has long been subservient to the giant corporations under the foundation, gathering intelligence and managing assets for them.”

"It seems I've been treated as an asset." Lin Chen nodded.

To be honest, Lin Chen didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

He inexplicably clicked with a riddle master and successfully obtained a ticket to Mr. Iron Mask's party using riddles.

“I got the tickets. Tonight at nine o’clock,” Lin Chen pressed his earpiece. “Let’s prepare to deploy the operation.”

"receive."

In the office of the Rapid Response Division, Jiang Zhengge looked up at the people gathered around the table.

"Lin Chen has obtained a ticket to Mr. Iron Face's party. If all goes well, he will receive information about the 'Black Star Nexus' and 'Strong Artificial Intelligence' tonight."

“Once he gets the definite intelligence, we need to storm the TV tower immediately and destroy that powerful AI.”

At this point, Jiang Zhengge paused and glanced around the table.

"That being said, we all know that the chances of successfully dealing with that AI tonight are slim."

"But at least we need to know what it is, how to deal with it, and to set up the Utopia portal inside the TV tower for future actions."

"How do we get into the Rain City Star?" Li Zhanyi asked. "According to the information, the ground security is very tight."

"Yes."

Jiang Zhengge smiled faintly:

"So we go in from the sky."

......

For the rest of the day, Lin Chen followed Shen Xuanyi on social occasions, walking around the lobby.

Outside the window, clouds and mist churned, and every now and then a light rain would fall, leaving streaks of water on the giant screen.

"They all looked at you with a lot of apprehension," Lin Chen said softly during a break in a social gathering. "Am I right?"

"Your intuition is very sharp, even though they are trying to hide their fear."

Shen Xuanyi gently straightened her dress, her agile eyes scanning the hall.

"You know, United Concrete Group and the Foundation have a long-standing feud. We are big enough and have a wide enough business, so when the Iron Cape Bridge incident happened, half of the Rain Capital wanted us to fall."

"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down," Lin Chen said.

"Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. We managed to pull through, and we had several direct confrontations with the foundation."

Shen Xuanyi took two glasses of wine from the waiter, and then the two walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The drizzle fell on the glass, slanting down in streaks that formed fine, dense lines.

At the window, Shen Xuanyi turned her head and handed the wine glass to Lin Chen.

"And you are the hero of all this. Everything you have done has made United Concrete a behemoth that they fear once again."

“So never underestimate your importance to us,” Shen Xuanyi chuckled. “As Chinese people, we should naturally understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.”

"You are an important ally of ours."

Lin Chen took the wine glass from Shen Xuanyi and raised it slightly towards her.
