The Black Card - Chapter 789

[Chapter 787: Resisting the Power of Technology]

Seeing that the ferryman had no intention of chatting with him anymore, Shi Lei also felt that he had not slept well last night, so he lowered the back of the seat a little further. Shi Lei stared in confusion as if he had fallen asleep.

The car had license plates from both places. The ferryman quickly took Shi Lei through the customs. Shi Lei still felt a little tired. Not long after the car started, he fell asleep again.

After the ferryman drove the car onto the highway, he kept observing Shi Lei in the rearview mirror. He saw that Shi Lei seemed to have really fallen asleep. The corners of the ferryman’s mouth seemed to move, but he did not make any sound.

About an hour later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of a restaurant in the famous Victoria Harbor on Hong Kong Island. The doorman trotted forward and opened the car door diligently.

The ferryman turned around and said, “Mr. Shi, it’s time to get off the bus.”

Maybe Shi Lei really fell asleep. Seeing that he didn’t respond, the ferryman had to increase his volume and shouted again: “Mr. Shi, we’ve arrived. It’s time.” Get off the bus.”

Shi Lei suddenly woke up and looked at the ferryman with confused eyes, completely confused.

It took Shi Lei a full ten seconds before he seemed to react. He laughed to himself and said, “I don’t know why. I had enough sleep last night, but I still felt exhausted. Maybe I was really too tired during this period. “While saying this, Shi Lei got out of the car.

The ferryman smiled slightly and said to the doorman in Cantonese: “Mr. Ding has booked a private room, please take this gentleman over.” The doorman

hurriedly agreed, and then the ferryman said to Shi Lei: “Well, Mr. Shi, I will go first Farewell.”

Shi Lei seemed a little surprised and asked: “Won’t you have lunch together?”

“I have a flight at three o’clock in the afternoon, and I have to rush to the airport now. You know, the airport on Hong Kong Island is always Very busy.”

Shi Lei nodded and said, “It’s a pity. I originally wanted to go back to the hotel in the evening and have a drink with you.” “

Next time, I’ll have a chance.”

Shi Lei waved his hand and said, “Then… Have a safe journey.”

The ferryman watched Shi Lei and the doorman disappear behind the restaurant’s door, but he did not start the car for a long time. Instead, he raised his head and looked at a certain window upstairs.

He knew that that was Ding Yu’s private room, and Shi Lei should have walked into the private room by now.

What Shi Lei said while standing in the bathroom last night was right. The ferryman had indeed tampered with his wine. The dose should be just enough to make Shi Lei forget what happened five minutes after he entered the door.

It is precisely for this reason that after the ferryman enters the door, he must put work matters first.

If everything goes as usual, Shi Lei’s memory of the less than thirty minutes of conversation should have been erased.

However, the ferryman always feels uneasy in his heart.

It’s not that he doubted the drug he used. It was not actually a drug, but a nanoscale robot that could change brain waves.

Shi Lei drank the wine into his stomach. When these nanoscale robots entered the blood vessels through the stomach wall and were sent to the brain, they would start working on their own, adding a large amount of interfering brain waves, and sealing Shi Lei’s original memories into his cerebral cortex. so deep that he was unable to recall the content of the subsequent conversation.

This is the simplest of all methods of clearing memory, because it only requires changing the memory of the previously specified period of time. For example, the memory change made for Wang Kaiming required a series of more complicated steps. surgery.

But the ferryman just felt that he was not sure enough. Among all the members he came into contact with, Shi Lei was the only one besides Mr.

The memory should have been erased, but since it was on Shi Lei, the ferryman was really worried that Shi Lei would have some means to prevent the memory from being erased.

When the ferryman was ready to negotiate with Shi Lei, he was already ready to clear this part of Shi Lei’s memory. Otherwise, he would not dare to tell Shi Lei so openly about the secrets within their organization. .

Even if everything goes well and Shi Lei signs the agreement with him, the ferryman still won’t allow Shi Lei to keep the memory of this conversation.

Of course, if an agreement is reached, he will retain Shi Lei’s memory of this part of the agreement.

However, Shi Lei’s performance was too perfect, so perfect that he was impeccable. The ferryman even felt like a child facing an adult, with no chance to convince Shi Lei to support him.

The result of the negotiation was not satisfactory, and what Shi Lei said before he left made the ferryman think about it for a long time after he returned to his room.

If he hadn’t been able to perform memory surgery, he would have even wanted to return to Shi Lei’s room to ensure that Shi Lei’s memory was buried.

Shi Lei’s words were recalled in his mind: “I thought you had drugged the wine.”

The ferryman started the car and Alpha slowly drove away. The ferryman’s lips moved slightly again, but still no words came out. Any sound.

If someone who knows enough about the ferryman sees this scene, he will definitely know that this is the performance of the ferryman talking to himself.

In fact, what the ferryman was thinking at this moment was: “Having some predictions doesn’t mean you can resist the power of technology.”

…

In the restaurant, Shi Lei followed the doorman.

After turning a corner, he knew that he had disappeared from the ferryman’s sight. He even knew that the ferryman would not leave so easily. He must still be observing something.

Shi Lei followed the doorman upstairs without making any pause until the doorman opened the door of a private room and made an invitation gesture.

“Thank you.” Shi Lei said to the doorman, and then turned his attention to the private room.

In the private room, a man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt sat at the table looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing Shi Lei, the man stood up quickly, and what sounded in his mouth was the voice that Shi Lei had already remembered.

“Hello, Mr. Shi.” Ding Yu wanted to come out to greet Shi Lei, but tripped over a chair and almost fell down.

He quickly held the edge of the table with both hands, causing the dishes on the table to jingle.

If Shi Lei hadn’t already known his identity, he would have been deceived by the awkward and dull man in front of him.

Shi Lei felt a little strange, but he still turned around, smiled at the doorman, and walked into the door.

The doorman curled his lips and closed the door, but Ding Yu didn’t change anything. He pushed up the thick black-rimmed glasses on his face, squeezed out a smile, and said, “Nice to see you.”

Ding Yu rubbed his hands. , rubbed his palms on his pants again, and then handed them to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei nodded, stepped forward, and took the right hand from Ding Yu.

“Hello, Mr. Ding.”

“I’m sorry for meeting Mr. Shi a day early, but that’s because the ferryman is leaving Hong Kong Island today. He came early, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Shi Lei waved his hand and said: “It’s okay. The ferryman has already explained it to me. I think we’d better get down to business as soon as possible. To be honest, I’m confused. How can you ask me to help you with the appraisal work before the salvage work has started? I don’t have it. What a special function!”

Ding Yu poured a cup of tea for Shi Lei and said, “I will confirm the details with Mr. Shi first, and then I will explain to Mr. Shi in detail how to complete this appraisal work. No matter what, it is very good. Thank you Mr. Shi for taking the time to come, and I also hope that Mr. Shi can help us with this. At least, for the sake of a colleague who wants to leave the organization, please…” Ding Yu pursed his lips.

It can be seen that Ding Yu is very nervous.
