"Don't be nervous. Codename Alpha informed me," Flynn said. "He's not just your friend; he's also mine."
Xia Fei furrowed his brows when he heard this. "Codename Alpha? I don't know any Alpha. "
That was right. Xia Fei always had the calmness and vigilance of a normal person. There was definitely something wrong when something was out of the ordinary. Though Flynn seemed to be very concerned about Xia Fei and could even say the codename Alpha, which might have convinced anyone else, Xia Fei would not. He would not easily believe anyone unless he was a hundred percent sure.
Flynn was taken aback for a moment before he patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and smiled. "It seems that Codename Alpha didn't choose you for no reason. You're truly not someone who's easily tempted."
With that said, Flynn turned on the screen in his office, and a line of words soon appeared.
"You can trust Flynn. He's my friend, just as trustworthy as you are."
This did indeed sound like Codename Alpha's tone, but Xia Fei remained unmoved and maintained his silence.
This was when the screen suddenly flashed at a crazy speed, continuing with what Xia Fei had learned today. Without a doubt, if not for Codename Alpha, no one would know what Xia Fei had learned.
Xia Fei waved his hand and quickly typed a few words on the screen.
"Alpha, what's going on?"
* Whoosh ~ *
Codename Alpha did not answer Xia Fei. The screen flashed, and everything returned to normal.
Flynn sat down next to Xia Fei and said, "Let me tell you. Right now, we're master and disciple in name, but we're actually allies in secret."
"Allies?" Xia Fei smiled. "From what I know, allies are formed with a common goal in mind. I'm sorry, but I don't see anything in common between us."
Flynn nonchalantly pointed at the screen and said, "Codename Alpha. He's in common with us, and I also know that you used the Mixed Dragon Correction Core to sneak into Fig Corporation. The system Codename Alpha developed is really good. No one else can pass off the fake as genuine under the command of the Protoss and create such an exquisite disguise."
Xia Fei was startled. His mind turned, and he said, "If Codename Alpha was the one who developed the Mixed Dragon Correction Core, that means that all of this was planned by the mysterious Alpha! He knows that I'm going to enter Fig Corporation, knows who I am, and what I've learned? "
Flynn spread his arms and softly said, "Don't worry. Trust me. Alpha definitely has the ability. Aside from him, I've never seen anyone else who can enter the highest database of the Protoss without leaving a trace. No one else can tamper the information in the database."
Xia Fei subconsciously took out Hongtashan and lit one up. Smoke rose from it, and Xia Fei's heart began to race.
Alpha was definitely one of the most mysterious people Xia Fei had ever met in his life, and there was no doubt about that. It seemed like he had been watching Xia Fei since a very long time ago, and he had secretly placed the Chaos Dragon Core in the hands of Blind Xue Guang because he knew that Xue Guang wanted to kill Xia Fei, and Xia Fei would definitely not sit and wait for his death!
After Xia, Xia Xia,'t. "Alpha," Alpha said, "T.," to, "Xia,"'t, "Xia," 'Alpha't't' and't. is. is, Xia't say, Xia't say, he, he.
Thinking of this, Xia Fei broke out in a cold sweat. How meticulous and long did he have to be to prepare for this? Fortunately, codename Alpha was not Xia Fei's enemy, or else he would definitely be a formidable foe that would make anyone's hair stand on end!
This was when Flynn said with a bitter smile, "You're right. Codename Alpha did plan all of this, but he still miscalculated, and it's because of you."
"Because of me?" Xia Fei asked, confused.
"Because you're too crazy. No one would have thought that you would go after Leica's prized disciple, Chu Jing, and even beat him!" Flynn's eyes lit up. "That's quite a slap. Even the Star Academy's triumvirate got trampled by you. This is completely out of Codename Alpha's expectations."
Xia Fei raised his eyebrows. "So, the Independent Academy and Flowerless Star Academy falling out today is Codename Alpha's remedial strategy?"
Flynn did not say anything and nodded lightly.
Xia Fei was momentarily speechless. To be able to make a remedial move in such a short time and set up the Independent Academy to fight against Flowerless Star Academy, Codename Alpha's ability was truly astonishing!
"I don't even know what to say about you. It seems like you always have a way to make things chaotic." Flynn sighed. "This is probably a kind of ability, the ability to muddy the waters."
Xia Fei did not listen to this at all. His brain was working at overdrive. Codename Alpha was a very powerful strategist. He had set up a series of ingenious plans. If Xia Fei was not used to causing trouble, he might not even know that he was already a chess piece in the game.
However, planning wasn't just Codename Alpha's strength; it was also Xia Fei's strength!
Very soon, Xia Fei came to a shocking conclusion. Codename Alpha was the Source! He was the king of the mechs! A super expert who had been abducted by the Protoss a long time ago! A super expert in technology!
His brain was still working rapidly. Xia Fei pushed every step forward. He realized that it was not a coincidence that Codename was so determined to find him!
If he did not know that Xia Fei was bent on getting into Fig Corporation, none of this would have worked. From the weakening of the Cosmic Gate, to the Black and White Gods asking him to find the Ark, the Martyr's Palace, and Fig Corporation, to the current situation.
A complicated and huge network of relationships gradually became clear in Xia Fei's mind. He was more and more convinced that Codename was the figure who had been watching him from the shadows. Moreover, he also remembered something. According to Sophie, the Sentinel Goddess, the reason why the mechs had retreated to the Hidden Realm in order to destroy humanity was because of Codename's secret guidance.
That was also the only time Codename had shown his face in the millions of years after he disappeared. There was no trace of him after that.
Evidently, Codename had the ability to communicate over long distances. Since he had the ability to contact Sophie, who was billions of lightyears away, why had he not spoken to her for so many years?
* Shing ~ *
Xia Fei felt his scalp go numb. After repeated deductions, Xia Fei understood that it was all because of the Cosmic Gate!
Evidently, the instability of the Cosmic Gate had not only worried the Skywing Race's old ancestor, but it had also made Codename, who was deeply buried in Fig Corporation, uneasy. And at this time, Xia Fei just happened to be in the Protoss! Thus, everything became natural and logical.
Xia Fei was the hidden master of the mechs, and he was one of the few people that Codename could find and trust! The other one was Professor Flynn!
Xia Fei's lips curled into a thoughtful smile. Taking a drag of his cigarette, Xia Fei asked, "How did you get in touch with codename Alpha?"
Flynn shook his head, recalling as he said, "I didn't get in touch with him; he got in touch with me. I was still very young back then, having just come to the company from Flowerless Star Academy to be in charge of the propulsion project. One day, after dinner, I was wandering around the company's network by myself when I suddenly met the mysterious codename Alpha.
"He seemed to have been secretly observing me for a long time and knew my background. He also knew that my personality was incompatible with my colleagues in the company and that I was ostracized everywhere. He was the one who brought me along to learn, from the most basic researcher to the project leader of the first research bureau. Alas, I wasn't able to fulfill codename Alpha's wish and ended up becoming the director of the fourth research bureau."
Flynn seemed rather emotional as he spoke of the past. Xia Fei asked, "What's codename Alpha's hope?"
Flynn answered, "In the first research bureau, there's the strongest project team, the Pinnacle Research Group. Don't underestimate them just because they're a small team, but every member of the team has unparalleled ability! Their status is comparable to that of the director of the research bureau! Even the company's board of directors has great respect for these top scientists.
"codename Alpha originally hoped that I could join the Pinnacle Research Group, but unfortunately, I'm still a little short of that goal."
Xia Fei asked again, "Why did codename Alpha want you to join the Pinnacle Research Group?"
Flynn glanced at Xia Fei and shook his head. "I don't know. Perhaps codename Alpha is a member of the top research group in Fig Corporation. The Pinnacle Research Group is basically a legendary existence in the company. There's no public information about this group, but I firmly believe that codename Alpha didn't lie to me. There's definitely a top research group in the company that carries out secret missions!"
Xia Fei straightened his back and nodded, not asking any further.
This was when the screen flickered again, and another line appeared.
"I had something to attend to just now, so I had to leave."
Xia Fei waved his finger and wrote: "Sophie is fine."
There was no reply from codename Alpha within a few seconds, which would have been inconceivable in the past! His recovery speed was quite fast.
Flynn asked in confusion, "Sophie? Who's Sophie? "
Xia Fei ignored Flynn and saw a simple answer appear on the screen. "Oh."
Xia Fei was excited. Even though it was only a single word, it meant that codename Alpha was Radix! Xia Fei's speculation was spot on. It was Radix that was leading him to the first research bureau of Fig Corporation!
As long as Xia Fei could find Radix, the problem of how Phantoms could fuse with machinery and the Titan-class warship would all be solved! How could Xia Fei not be excited?
Codename Alpha paused for a moment before continuing. "The board of directors has made the decision. The independent academy will be competing with the Eternal Branch. The announcement will be out in a few minutes."
Xia Fei nodded. He took a look at the information codename Alpha had sent over and asked, "Will I have a chance to get close to you if I win?"
"That's possible."
