"I'm sorry, I don't know why, but when I hear this last name, it's hard to calm down."
Jiang Lianqiu looked at Belfast deeply.
She was a ship girl born in the form of a mind cube directly in the starport according to his will.
Of course, there have been studies on the Mind Cube over the years, but every time Jiang Lianqiu kept reminding Belfast to be careful.
He couldn't imagine what would happen in Belfast if something went wrong with the Mind Cube.
Even so, some of the secrets hidden in Belfast have gradually been unraveled.
A report submitted by Feng Neumao contained a detailed description of the Mind Cube, most of which was very similar to the Mind Cube in the Azur Lane world in Jiang Lianqiu's memory.
But there is only one thing that is different.
The mind cube that created Belfast was not in its original form.
When it was recovered by the mechanical servant, it was in a semi-born state.
In von Neumau's words, the mind cube was in the process of giving birth to the big sister Belfa, but this birth process was interrupted because the mechanical servant and Su Zheng fought each other and shattered time and space, causing the mind cube to fall into another universe.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, perhaps it was fate, but before Jiang Lianqiu decided to get Belfast, this mind cube had already given birth to most of Belfast.
The Mind Cube already contained all the elements needed to give birth to Belfast.
Although it is hard to imagine what this mind cube would have become if the first person I thought of was not Belfast but other ship girls, fortunately Belfast appeared smoothly.
She descended based on the historical Belfast, adding the influence of mechanical servant technology in the process, and appeared in front of Jiang Lianqiu in the form of a starship.
For the above reasons, Belfast has had the memory of her prototype from the moment she opened her eyes. She remembers what happened to her prototype in the past, as well as her former comrades and enemies.
But she didn't remember the Siren, Anti-X, the Torch and the Embers, and even less Project Shimmer...
Because he had no idea where the world of Azur Lane was or how to get there, Jiang Lianqiu had never told Belfast everything he knew. He only vaguely mentioned some insignificant little things. But he didn't expect that even so, Belfast would still have such a big reaction when he heard about Anti-X... or Siren.
"Are you sure that the family's surname is Antix?" Jiang Lianqiu confirmed with Yukinoshita Haruno again.
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded seriously. "I'm sure of that, Mr. Jiang. And from what I know, this family seems to have changed their surname in the past. They changed their family name to Antix about a hundred years ago."
"In the past, their last name seemed to be... Augustus?"
When talking about this former surname, even Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't hold back.
"Augustus... do you really still remember Rome after all these years?" Jiang Lianqiu smiled noncommittally.
Based on this surname, he could be sure that this family must have a very high position in the Carcosa Cult, and might even be the core.
And he changed his surname a hundred years ago?
Rubbing his eyebrows, Jiang Lianqiu answered Christina's call.
"Christina, help me find the detailed information of a family in Xida. I want to dig up their family tree thoroughly!"
"Ms. Yukinoshita, please cooperate with my subordinates and tell them everything you know about this family. Also, if the information about that order still exists... I want it all."
Since the matter involved Belfast, Jiang Lianqiu unconsciously exuded a sense of oppressive pressure.
"I am very happy to serve you. It is an honor for the Yukinoshita family, Mr. 793 Jiang."
Yukinoshita Haruno hurriedly stood up and bowed to Jiang Lianqiu.
Watching Yukinoshita Haruno being led away by the incoming servitor, Jiang Lianqiu patted Belfast's hand comfortingly and said softly, "What do you want to know? If it's about Anti-X, I'll tell you everything I know."
However, Belfast unexpectedly shook her head, only smiled gently, pulled her hand away, took a step back, and saluted with her skirt lifted.
"Master, I told you I am Belfast and will dedicate everything I have to you."
"The name Anti-X and the story behind it may have something to do with the world where the Mind Cube originated, but it has nothing to do with me."
"Everything about me started from the moment I opened my eyes and saw you as a little girl."
“Puff!!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri suddenly couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"Little Dumpling..." The senior's eyes wandered, and she suddenly pulled Eriri to her side. "Tell me quickly, what does the junior who looks like a little dumpling look like? As your childhood sweetheart, you haven't forgotten, right?"
Eriri just covered her mouth and whimpered, shaking her head, her shoulders shaking with laughter. It wasn't until Jiang Lianqiu glared at her threateningly that she took the initiative to sneak behind Kasumigaoka Utaha and stick out her tongue and make faces at him...
P.S. Let’s start salvaging the boat! Of course, we won’t salvage it all at once, because that would be too much to write about.
Chapter 94: You see, this is called professionalism
The first decade of the 20th century was a decade of vigorous development for Xi’an University.
At that time, Xi’an University was in the late stage of the industrial revolution, with rapid economic development and significant social changes. It was also beginning to emerge on the international stage.
By the end of the decade, in 1908, General Motors was founded, the Great White Fleet completed its circumnavigation of the globe, and the entire Western society was showing signs of surpassing old Europe.
That was the year—
"...the then-patriarch of the Augustus family happened to be at the site of the Tunguska explosion during his expedition to Siberia."
"The then-head of the family luckily survived and quickly left Old Europe that same year. He moved the entire family to Western Greatness and changed the family name to Anticus."
After the past of the Antiks family was thoroughly uncovered, Jiang Lianqiu was most concerned about the above paragraph in the report he received.
"The Tunguska explosion is indeed the origin of all things."
Rubbing his brows, he looked at the table with a mixture of laughter and tears.
The origins of everything in Azur Lane seem to be traced back to this big explosion.
The humans in that world created such an unreasonable thing as the Rubik's Cube while studying the surrounding matter assimilated by the meteorite fragments after the big bang.
And based on the original energy cube, a talented scholar developed the mind cube, which led to the emergence of the first ship enterprise.
"Hans and Christina have officially led a team to secretly surround the Antix family's base. Should we immediately arrest all those involved?"
In a temporary command post in the underground base of the Silver Crown Tower, Belfast, who was giving a report at the time, had completely sorted out his emotions and returned to his usual dashing and capable appearance.
"This family doesn't seem to have many people?" Jiang Lianqiu looked at the targets listed on the holographic screen. The entire Antiks family now has only six people, including the head of the family, George.
As for the family residence, it is located in the western state of Florida.
It must be said that this is indeed a place where no idlers are allowed.
At this time, it was early morning in the morning and the people of the Antiks family were all fast asleep in the manor, completely unaware that a whole squadron of mecha-servants had silently appeared outside their manor.
In order to ensure that no one was caught and that there were no accidents, Jiang Lianqiu even sent out two generals at once, which was really an overkill.
"Let's move, and be careful. Information security protocols have been adjusted to the highest level."
"Understood!" Belfast nodded and conveyed Jiang Lianqiu's order to the two generals on the front line. "The commander has given the order, begin action. Adjust information security protocols to the highest priority!"
Your will!
Hans and Christina responded simultaneously over the radio.
Then--
The combat team roared and rushed forward. Under the horrified gazes of the passers-by who were doing morning exercises, Hans, the general, kicked the gate of the manor open.
"Fobole!! OpenTheDoor!!!!!!"
"Open the door! The IRS is checking the water meter!!!"
The servitors disguised as Forbler and elite IRS agents let loose, some smashing down the door and charging in head-on, some pulling out weapons disguised as human firearms to set up various maneuvers from the perimeter, and even a pair of high-altitude raiders rappelled from a helicopter marked with the Forbler logo...
"Such a big fuss!?" Eriri was stunned. "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
"Where do you think that is? Florida." Jiang Lianqiu spread his hands. "Do you see the passersby on the screen?"
On the big screen, a group of Florida abstract performance artists, after experiencing the initial shock, immediately began to excitedly perform the most beloved activities of mankind.
Eat spectators and watch the show.
But soon many of them were dumbfounded.
In the manor that was silent just now, a number of men and women who were dressed as butlers and servants suddenly rushed out from the gorgeous house. These people actually pointed guns in public and opened fire at Foberle and the elite IRS agents!
Although the rich in this land enjoy various privileges, I have never heard that these privileges include the ability to resist armed forces against two violent departments, Forbo and the IRS?
At that moment, a foreign student from the University of Tokyo let out a strange cry—
"This is bullying!"
……Dividing line……
"That's it?"
When Jiang Lianqiu saw that the other party's way of resistance was American Iai, he was incredulous.
"Pull out a gun? Bullets? Shouldn't they throw out all sorts of tentacle monsters or just turn into tentacle monsters themselves?"
"Perhaps the enemy is much weaker than we imagined?" Belfast speculated reasonably. "After all, for the past few decades, this world's Jedi Tiantong technique has been in effect. According to the intelligence we dug out from Yamada and others' brains, this secret cult member doesn't possess any other mystical methods besides the fragment that commands absolute loyalty."
"Although the world has changed, time is still short. Have they not yet regained their past abilities?"
While the two were discussing, the servants who tried to resist were knocked down one after another by the mechanical servants.
The combat team rushed into the manor like wolves and captured all the core members of the Anticus family, including George Anticus who was still in a daze.
“Who are you guys!??”
George, who was still in his pajamas, was a blond man who looked to be in his fifties. He was still struggling when Hans pulled him off the bed by his hair.
Hans didn't hesitate and raised his hand to press on the carotid artery in the man's neck.
A faint electric current flashed through his fingertips, and the fifty-year-old blond man fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
At the same time, soldiers were carrying instruments to conduct detailed inspections throughout the house. Any ornaments or collections that were found to have contamination signals, no matter what they were, were thrown into the tactical space first.
The entire operation lasted no more than half an hour, with the arrests taking only a few minutes, and the rest of the time was spent on digging deep underground searches.
Many onlookers, unaware of the truth, watched in stunned silence as two federal agents used incomprehensible equipment to strip the lawn of the wealthy mansion bare. Then, at the shout of "Pull back," someone who seemed to be leading the charge shouted, and they all piled into the vehicles and helicopter parked outside and sped away...
It was not until that afternoon, when the television media reported the news and the anchor excitedly praised the heroic deeds of the federal agents on the screen, that the then-heads of Forbello and the IRS learned from the news that their own agency had actually done such a thing?
"What does this Antiks family do? Do we have a plan to capture them?" Chief Fober looked at his staff with a question mark on his head.
The staff quickly handed over a document. "This is the operational information submitted by the head of the local branch. This family is just a small-time character colluding with the terrorist organization that sells X and FenX to the south..."
"The good guys from the precinct confiscated over $570 million in... ahem, illegal income from their family."
Five hundred and seventy million?
Doesn’t the report say 530 million?
Ding! Your XXXX Bank account has been debited via XXX, and XXXXX has been received...
"Well done, young men!" Boss Fobole was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt very pleased. He clapped his thigh and grinned, glancing at his staff intentionally or unintentionally. "See, this is what we call professionalism. People should always strive for improvement."
"That's right, Boss." The staff member responded cheerfully, "So what about this?"
"This is a political achievement achieved through planning by the headquarters, vigorous execution by the branch offices, and the concerted efforts of our friends at the National Tax Service. You see, as we age, we tend to forget things. I clearly drafted this plan myself, right?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes..."
Chapter 95: Master, you have been elbowing them for nearly a hundred years without knowing it.
"So, the leader of Foberle is also one of ours?"
Jiang Lianqiu's mouth twitched and he turned to look at Beifa.
Belfast's eyes drifted, and he said quietly, "He is a human, not a robot servant, but he is indeed working for us in secret."
"As for that money, it was just our people in the XX Reserve at Xida using their nuclear-powered printing presses to print it for fun. We didn't contribute a single cent..."
"Although the Antix family doesn't appear to have much influence, their sudden disappearance is bound to arouse suspicion. Furthermore, we need to capture all the other believers associated with them in one fell swoop. Many of them hold considerable social influence, so we need them to help clean up the mess..."
"Tell me the truth, do you have any share of the credit for the inflation these years?"
Jiang Lianqiu grabbed his hair, feeling that his maid seemed to have turned bad?
"It wasn't the financial tsunami a few years ago." Belfast shook his head firmly. "I hadn't sent anyone in at that time. I was just taking advantage of the situation... no, I was just trying to protect your wealth."
Very good answer, you don't need to answer it next time.
It was not until this time that Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha vaguely understood what Jiang Lianqiu and Belfast had said.
