I will be a boss in the future world
Episode 66: Missing Person Mission
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I suddenly received a call from Song Zhimian, saying that there was an emergency and everyone must gather at TOX as soon as possible.
When Yuying was about to walk into the door, a man suddenly ran into the office corridor, stopped in front of her, and patted his chest breathlessly.
Lin Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead and patted his chest, "It was a close call. I almost got late."
"Eh? Yuying is here so early."
"Have you had breakfast? I bought some meat buns!"
As he spoke, he shook the bun in his hand.
Yuying shook her head, "Thank you, no thanks, I've already eaten."
"Oh, girls are really different. They take good care of themselves."
Except for the two of them, everyone was already sitting in the conference room. Song Zhimian looked around and made sure that everyone was present before he began to speak.
"We have an important and urgent task right now. We can't delay it for even a minute. I'm sorry to take up everyone's rest day. Once everything is done, I will definitely give everyone a short vacation."
"Unlike the last mission, this time the player is trapped in the game world and cannot exit because of a disturbance in the data source of the world."
"If this continues, it will cause great damage to the neural memory of all players in this game world."
"The time in that game space is faster than here. One day here is equivalent to three days in that space and time, so the time for the mission is very tight."
Song Zhimian was shocked when he saw the next line, "The game data is damaged by as much as 70%!"
"There is no time to waste, we must send someone immediately!"
"This is different from the last mission. The time is tight, the task is heavy, and the danger is even greater! Are there any of you who would like to volunteer?"
The degree of damage has reached 70%, which means that the world may collapse at any time... It's too dangerous.
"I go."
Yan was the first to speak.
"And I."
In addition to Lin Meng and Yan, others also volunteered to go. No one retreated or complained about such a dangerous mission. Song Zhimian looked around at everyone present, and determination was written on everyone's face.
"I understand everyone's courage, solidarity and determination, but we can't go with so many people. We have other tasks besides this."
"How about this, Yan will still lead the team this time. Enxing, Qingjue, the three of you will set off to this virtual world immediately. Be sure to complete the mission as quickly and safely as possible! Contact us immediately if there is any danger!"
"Huai Zhen, check all the equipment and make sure they can communicate with us smoothly."
"I will assign tasks to the rest of the people later. We still need to investigate all the details of the D organization."
"Yes!!!"
Everyone stood up and prepared to leave, but Yuying still had a question to ask: what was the outcome of the treatment of Xu Yechen?
"Boss...I have something else I want to ask."
Song Zhimian looked at Yuying calmly, "You ask."
"Regarding Xu Yechen...what was the outcome?"
He hesitated for a moment, but finally began to explain.
"Considering the seriousness of this incident and the special circumstances of Yechen, we discussed with other management and decided that Yechen cannot take any missions for the time being. He needs to make up for the mistakes he made."
"Okay... I understand."
The communicator on the table suddenly rang, and Song Zhimian responded faintly and then stood up.
"Go to the conference room on the 76th floor immediately. We will be there soon."
After walking through the corridor, we came to a small conference room which also served as an operations room. The electronic screens around were flashing and operating constantly, and there was only the back of a man in the room.
"Hey, Jianzi——"
Lin Meng stepped forward quickly and hooked Xue Jian's neck from behind.
I didn’t expect that Lin Meng actually knew Xue Jian?
Before Xue Jian could calmly pull his hand away, Lin Meng had already let go with a smile and threw the extra breakfast on the table.
"Here, yours!"
"You are so old but you still can't take care of yourself and you never eat breakfast."
"Can you please learn from others and stop making me worry all the time?"
Even someone as calm as Xue Jian couldn't help but frown and glare at him.
"Smelly boy..."
"I didn't ask you to bring it to me!"
"have a finger in the pie."
"Okay, okay, I'm just meddling in other people's business, okay?"
"Young people should also pay more attention to their health. How can you skip breakfast every day?"
"You usually live a rough life alone. I can't bear to see it."
"These are my tribute to you, eat them quickly."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Yuying thought silently in her heart, it seems that they both live alone and have no complete family.
Is this one of the secret conditions for SDA to recruit people?
Without the concern of relatives, no one will be sad even if you die while performing dangerous work.
Oh, as expected...
Compared with the humanization of TOX, SDA is truly a puppet of capital, as even the labor costs are calculated so accurately.
They sat for a while, and Yuying learned from Song Zhimian and Lin Meng that Lin Meng and Xue Jian were actually good neighbors who grew up wearing the same pair of shorts, but later Xue Jian chose SDA, while Lin Meng went around and joined TOX.
While a few people were chatting, the door of the conference room slowly opened and a man walked in.
When he saw Yuying, his eyes paused, then he turned around and called out to the people behind him.
"These are the members of TOX. The mission will be assigned to them."
"Come in, let's sit down and discuss the details together."
Hearing Tan Suhe's words, everyone looked behind him at the same time, and saw a man with delicate features and a handsome face walking in with him.
He is dressed elegantly and has an extraordinary temperament, and the simple and low-key accessories make him look even more luxurious.
This man exudes two words from head to toe - rich!
Seeing the confused looks from everyone, Tan Suhe clenched his fist and coughed lightly, "Let me introduce myself first..."
"This is Miss Zhou's personal assistant, Mr. Wu Han."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man couldn't wait to speak.
"Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work on this mission."
The man named Wu Han had a look of anxiety on his face, with beads of sweat even oozing out of his forehead. He bent his body slightly and bowed deeply to the people in front of him. He said sincerely and eagerly: "Please be sure to find my Miss Zhou. The master and we are very worried."
"Find someone?"
Is this also something TOX should be responsible for?
And it actually alarmed the SDA people at the same time?
Everyone frowned in confusion, but Tan Suhe sat down very seriously.
"Yes, Miss Zhou is missing. We cannot rule out the possibility that she was kidnapped."
"She logged into the virtual entertainment area three days ago and never woke up again."
"We are unable to find any signal of her consciousness at this time. We suspect that she has entered the system's collapsed area."
"Based on where she was last seen, you need to investigate immediately."
"Xue Jian is leading the team. No matter what the situation is, you must give me the clues within today. Any other questions?"
"that……"
Wu Han said very cautiously: "Director Tan, can I go with them?"
"I usually follow Miss Zhou all the time, and I know her behavior habits very well. Maybe I can help."
"What a joke, I don't agree!"
"If we really want to go to the collapsed area, ordinary people will only get in the way. If we are not careful, we will die!"
"Our mission is dangerous, and we don't have time to take care of others!"
Song Zhimian listened to the whole thing in silence, then got angry without caring about the director's face, and the meeting room suddenly fell silent.
Wu Han looked at Song Zhimian in surprise, who had an angry face, then at Tan Suhe. Finally, he frowned and spoke anxiously.
"I won't cause you any trouble. I just want to try my best to find Miss Zhou."
"If you guys are going to... the Collapse Zone, I'll stay in a safe place and wait for news."
He looked pleading, "I promise you, Director Tan...I will never get in the way."
There was another silence in the conference room, as if everyone was waiting for someone to make a decision.
"Well, let him go with you then."
"It shouldn't be dangerous to go to the entertainment area first. His information may be helpful to you."
As he spoke, Tan Suhe glanced at Yuying.
"Wen Yuying, you are responsible for his safety. During the time he is in the system, you must ensure that he is safe."
"..."
Yuying frowned, "Why me?"
"Because you're new here and have no experience, isn't this the easiest task?"
"..."
Speechless.
"Thank you, Director Tan..."
Wu Han was obviously very excited. As long as he could be taken with him, it didn't matter who protected him.
"Thank you so much for letting me go with you."
At the subsequent meeting, everyone learned the situation in detail. Song Zhimian was still somewhat depressed and silent, but Lin Meng was very dedicated and asked questions about this and that.
This mission is just to enter the virtual world to find someone. Moreover, why did Tan Suhe let the SDA people intervene? Is it because...
After the meeting, Yu Ying quietly pulled Lin Meng aside and asked in a low voice.
"Who is this Miss Zhou?"
"Her assistants all look very noble. Are their families very powerful?"
Lin Meng nodded affirmatively, "Of course! The Zhou family is one of the major shareholders of the NPC consortium, and Miss Zhou is their only daughter."
"She has been cherished since she was a child. She is a real rich girl!"
Yuying lowered her eyes and thought, "No wonder..."
"He's only been missing for three days, yet they were able to contact the ES director to personally look for him. Maybe he just got lost because he was having fun, and they even used SDA personnel to carry out the mission."
Lin Meng sighed, "That would be great. I don't want to go to a place like the Collapse Zone. I hope she's just lost, and we just need to look for her in the entertainment area and call it a day."
"..."
Thinking of Xue Jian, Yu Ying had a hunch that this journey would not be so easy.
After walking out of the conference room and preparing to go to the system login place with Lin Meng, he saw Song Zhimian questioning Tan Suhe angrily in the corridor not far away.
"She also has no father or mother, and no normal family."
"You knew this a long time ago, so that's why you insisted on having her come to my department?"
"And now you're forcing her to join the SDA?!"
The person opposite him lowered his head and remained silent. Song Zhimian roared in anger.
"answer me!"
"Is it because she has no relatives, no one to worry about, and no one will feel sorry for her if she dies?"
"You just did everything you could to trick them into coming to SDA to perform dangerous missions!"
"Talk about Soho!"
"Do you still have any conscience!!!"
In anger, Song Zhimian grabbed Tan Suhe's collar fiercely. The atmosphere between the two was cold. Yu Ying and Lin Meng were so surprised that they stopped in their tracks.
"Captain Song, you misunderstood."
Tan Suhe responded indifferently, but his eyes caught sight of Yu Ying not far away. He turned his head with unquestionable seriousness in his eyes.
"It's not because no one cares that you let them join your department."
"On the contrary..."
“I think she’s unique and different.”
“Perhaps he is the best person to break the deadlock and change the pessimistic status quo.”
"That's why I did everything I could to trick her into coming to SDA."
Yuying had a blank expression on her face, not really understanding what he meant, but the look he gave her was dark and deep, and the word "lie" was even a little bit smiling.
Hearing this, Song Zhimian was silent for a moment, and his hand that was grabbing his collar loosened, but his brows were still furrowed, and he snorted coldly.
"What's breaking the impasse... changing the status quo..."
"Your high-sounding rhetoric is just for fooling others!"
"Do you think I don't know your background? Whose interests are you speaking for? "
"Captain Song..."
Tan Suhe pulled his hand away from his collar and his tone became serious.
"I know you never take the upper class seriously, but my background has never been relevant to my work."
"Whether you believe it or not, our original intentions and goals are the same."
"I just hope that no one will die innocently anymore..."
“Whether it’s TOX or SDA, they must be strong to have value in existence, right?
"..."
Song Zhimian didn't say anything else, and the corridor fell silent.
Seeing Yu Ying and Lin Meng not far away, he closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
"Who among those who sacrificed themselves was not innocent?"
"..."
"Tan, I hope you didn't lie to me."
After saying that, Song Zhimian turned around again.
"What are you two still standing there for?"
"Hurry up and carry out the mission!"
Lin Meng secretly made a face and quickly followed Song Zhimian's pace.
When passing by Tan Suhe, Yuying quietly stopped and said, "I'm surprised that you admitted that you 'tricked' me into coming here."
Tan Suhe smiled slightly: "..."
"Why do you think I'm unique, just because of my special abilities?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want?"
He stared at Yuying with a smile, then suddenly tilted his head in confusion.
"Have you ever lost your memory?"
"Do you have short-term memory loss in the past or in the past?"
Yuying frowned and stared at him in confusion: "Why do you ask this? Was there a problem with my previous test?"
Tan Suhe straightened his collar, quietly concealing the scrutiny in his eyes, and said calmly: "You do have some abnormal data, and you also have self-awareness rejection."
"This phenomenon mostly occurs in people with mental problems or memory loss."
"It means you may have potential psychological problems, which should be paid attention to."
"..."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work."
"Let's talk sometime. I have something to ask you."
Looking at his back as he turned and walked away, Yuying couldn't help but frown.
She did lose her memory...
But subconscious self-rejection?
Why didn't she notice it herself?
