Chapter 542 542 You are like this, and you still dare to sleep?
Although Congressman Dawson is just a marginal figure, he is extremely diligent and hard-working. His safe is filled with dirty information about various congressmen and politicians, big and small, ethical, economic, ability, family, everything is included.
Moreover, he did not let anyone go, from the Speaker and the Archbishop to the ordinary clerks and secretaries. He was just like a crazy paparazzi, wishing to wipe out the entire political arena of the Brilliant City. It was a shocking sight for Lloyd.
Not everyone is so bad. There are some smart and capable elites among them; there are also some clean people who cannot find any negative evidence and can only make a fuss about other people's family members.
So what really shocked Lloyd was that there were too many of them and they were too complete.
Zhu Ba was no more than this back then, right?
In comparison, what this representative had collected was not even an appetizer.
The key is how did such a marginal character with no power collect all this information? Where did he get the manpower and financial resources? And how did he collect so much black material without being noticed by others?
"This is obviously not something a politician can do. There must be something fishy going on..."
Lloyd muttered to himself, rubbing his chin, and speculated further.
Perhaps the so-called trend of recruiting bodyguards was instigated by Congressman Dawson?
Although it is impossible to completely control those high-ranking bureaucrats with just these big and small handles, it is definitely not a problem to ask them to "do a small favor" or "be a little willful".
If this kind of "little busyness" and "little willfulness" continue to accumulate, it will one day lead to a total collapse, which will then lead to all kinds of chaos and create the opportunities that the ancient survivors need to take advantage of.
Moreover, in these materials, we can also see the names of some people from the cult or the three major courts...
So, although this group of ancient survivors could not even solve the spatial loop they had left behind, they seemed to be particularly adept at using such despicable and dirty tricks. No wonder they all regarded themselves as "aristocrats".
Fortunately, the enemy's secret deployment was discovered in advance, and there was enough time to respond. Otherwise, when it really broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable...
Lloyd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This trip was quite rewarding as it helped to disrupt the monsters' conspiracy in advance, but it was also a little disappointing because no more concrete clues emerged.
Fortunately, Lloyd was not in a hurry and continued to play the 'video'.
After confirming that there were no problems with the things in the office, the congressman did not rush to take any action. Instead, he stood there for a long time, then kept scratching his ears and cheeks, beating his chest and stamping his feet, as if he was going crazy with anxiety.
This is probably because he has confirmed that the most important things are safe and sound, but for some reason the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart still linger?
So he rested in the office for a long time, forcing himself to adjust his mood, and did not leave until dusk.
But he did not go home. Instead, he changed transportation several times and traveled for more than two hours before arriving at a cigar club in the new city area.
Although Lloyd fast-forwarded the entire process, he could still feel the anxiety of the congressman's representative, all kinds of urging, all kinds of jumping up and down, all kinds of crowds, and he kept looking around from time to time. It was obvious that his anxiety was getting worse.
But even though this person was so anxious, he still tortured himself and took a detour at least twice as long as normal.
This should be enough to explain that what comes next is probably the highlight.
Lloyd also perked up immediately.
However, what was surprising was that this guy wandered around the club, chatted with a few acquaintances for a while, then went back to his private lounge, lit some incense, took a bottle of potion, and then lay down on the sofa and fell asleep?
He slept until the end of the 'recording'. The scene in front of Lloyd's eyes also switched directly from 'recording' to 'live broadcast', and he saw that this guy was still sleeping soundly.
How come this is gone? Something's wrong, isn't it?
He rushed to this club in such a hurry, just to get some sleep? He even resorted to the help of incense and potions?
How did he sleep like that? He was so anxious before.
When you encounter difficulties, you just sleep, right?
Lloyd didn't want to alarm the bait for the time being, so he didn't take any other action. Instead, he chose to replay the "video" and take a closer look at the process of this guy entering the club.
So the scene in front of his eyes returned to the time when the parliamentary representative just entered the club.
Huh? Wait! This club...why does it look familiar?
Lloyd was stunned for a moment, and quickly searched his memory, and found that this was not an illusion, but he really passed by this cigar club?
This place happened to be located close to the edge of the abandoned city area and was also a must-pass road, so he passed this place twice when he entered the abandoned city area.
But because the abandoned city area is originally close to the new city area and is separated from each other by a river, a cigar club located on the riverside does not seem abrupt or strange.
Anyway, when Lloyd first noticed this place, he just complained in his heart, thinking that the rich people here actually like to smoke cigars and watch the poor people on the other side suffer? I am afraid that he is impatient to choose a street lamp that suits him?
After watching the following 'video', he realized that the location of this club might have been chosen for some special considerations?
However, Lloyd once again "followed" the perspective of the parliamentary representative, entered the club and took a look around, but still did not find any problems.
This place looks like an ordinary club. It doesn't harbor any filth or corruption. The people who come and go are all financial elites in the new city area, not criminals.
Apart from learning from various chats that there is a small path in the club's underground wine cellar that connects to the sewer network here, and then leads to the lower city area under the abandoned city area, no other problems have been discovered for the time being.
But this is actually not a problem. This area itself has a very complex, maze-like sewer system. Lloyd has experienced it personally. At that time, he climbed directly from the place where the criminals hid the "Book of Truth" to the most prosperous financial street.
There are also some white-collar elites who love to pursue excitement. They take various secret passages to participate in the messy illegal gatherings in the downtown area.
Hiss... Could it be that this guy traveled such a long way and slept in the club just to participate in some illegal gathering?
But since the time has not come yet, he uses incense and potions to take advantage of the time to get some sleep?
This is indeed possible...
Lloyd thought about this, and then caught an inconspicuous detail in the video -
When this guy chatted with his acquaintances, the topics he talked about were all insignificant love affairs, or he simply commented on the current affairs news in the newspaper. He did not mention any great cause or the future of mankind, and he certainly did not mention any ancient survivors.
At first glance, this doesn't seem to be a problem. Although this guy "confessed" in front of Lloyd as soon as he opened his mouth and acted proud of it, that was all Lloyd's trick. When he was chatting with others, he was just making empty promises and still didn't confess who was the mastermind behind the scenes.
But the problem is that this guy should still be in a state of anxiety and panic at this moment. Although he can still hold on for the time being and it is not obvious, he should not be in the mood to chat with others, right?
And it was obvious that there shouldn't be any calming rituals deployed in this club, so there was definitely no way to eliminate the impact of [Distortion], otherwise he wouldn't need to use drugs to help him fall asleep.
This means that he was forcing himself to chat with people...
You have to know that his previous hysteria was already at the level of mild insanity. How could he still have the mind to chat with others?
"Unless... this kind of 'small talk', like the previous detour, is some extremely important and necessary part?"
When Lloyd thought of this, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly pressed the "replay" button, looking back at the few people the representative had come into contact with in the club, and listened to their chat again.
Good Lord, the more I listen, the more something seems wrong!
Those seemingly romantic things or the "lofty talk" about current affairs are all speaking in code and underhanded language.
And it's not the kind of 'jianghu slang' used on Earth, which would make it completely incomprehensible to outsiders, but it would also be easy to detect that something is wrong.
Therefore, the content of their conversation has been more carefully disguised and referred to, so that the eavesdropper cannot realize the real content of the conversation.
Unfortunately, Lloyd didn't understand this aspect, and Tentacle Grass couldn't develop a 'translation' function, so for now he could only realize that there was something wrong with the people in this club, and that they were exchanging information through code words, but he didn't know what they were communicating specifically.
Perhaps we can find a way to record these words and then hand them over to professionals to analyze and decipher?
So Lloyd asked the tentacle grass:
"Is there any way you can show this video to others?"
“Oh! Oh!”
Tentacle Grass yelled a few words, signaling Lloyd to click the meaningless "Collect" button.
With this press, the picture in front of him began to shrink and finally turned into a crystal clear crystal of knowledge.
This was much more convenient and also allowed Lloyd to think of his next plan.
Those things that were found in the safe before must be recovered by someone;
As for the people in that club, we need to find out their identities and backgrounds, and it would be best if we could catch a few big fish among them.
Lloyd was not very good at these things, but he had already received a personal promise from the Saint of Veto, so he could ask professionals for help.
As for tonight, that’s all for now. It’s already very late.
"Not bad, not bad, very good function, I have learned a lot, you should be the project manager soon!"
Lloyd said PUA as usual.
"Hey..."
The tentacle grass still responded to him weakly, just like the sentence Lloyd used to reply to his superiors:
'Oh……'
It feels like the six dots in the ellipsis can hold a lot of swear words.
After compressing the "video" into a knowledge crystal, Tentacle Grass moved out a new screen from behind it, on which was the real-time live broadcast.
It can be seen that although the congressman was still sleeping, he was sleeping very uneasily. Not only was he sweating profusely, but his face was also pale and cold sweat was pouring down his face, as if he was having a terrible dream.
However, under the influence of the incense and potions, he was unable to wake up in time. He could only toss and turn, enduring the torture of the nightmare, and could not wake up for a while.
Asking for trouble is...
Lloyd would not have the slightest mercy for this traitor of humanity, and even wanted to increase his intensity to make him suffer more.
But considering that although we have made some gains and discoveries so far, the real big fish has not been caught yet, this bait should still be able to play some role, so let's not rush to kill it.
"It's getting late, keep watching him for me."
