70: Abyss Organization Operator, Number One is in place

Su Yue inserted his IC card, picked up the receiver, and began dialing.

Because the phone was a bit old, the buttons were slightly faulty and there was static in the earpiece, but it was still possible to make a normal call.

Su Yue didn't care about these minor flaws. He entered Li Haoyang's mobile number, and as the dialing tone sounded, he had already taken a small object out of his pocket and held it in his hand.

The call was quickly connected, and Li Haoyang's confused voice rang out: "Hello, who is this?"

"It is I, Abyss!" Su Yue said in a deep voice.

Silence fell on the other end of the line. Clearly, Li Haoyang was also suddenly bewildered by this somewhat pretentious and slightly chuunibyou-like name.

"Excuse me, I didn't hear clearly. Who are you?" he asked cautiously.

"This is a mission from the Deep Abyss Organization. You now have 10 seconds to decide whether to accept." Su Yue did not answer Li Haoyang's unconscious question but spoke on his own.

"Remember, once you participate in the mission, it is considered an application to join the Deep Abyss Organization. You will immediately become a member of the Deep Abyss Organization and cannot withdraw!"

"Wait, how do you know my phone number? Who exactly are you? And what is this Deep Abyss Organization..." Li Haoyang's voice clearly showed surprise, mixed with a hint of panic.

"The Deep Abyss Organization is not 'whatnot,' but an intelligence organization. This is your only chance to join." Su Yue said composedly, "You have five seconds left."

"Wait, wait, make it clear. What do I need to do after joining, and what is your purpose in recruiting me..." Li Haoyang's voice became panicked.

Su Yue was completely unmoved. He completely ignored what Li Haoyang was saying and spoke resolutely: "Time's up!"

"I'll join!" Almost simultaneously, Li Haoyang's shout suddenly rang out.

There was a hint of frustration in his voice, but more than that, there was relief.

A smile appeared on Su Yue's face. He had studied psychology, and the relevant information at the Intelligence Outpost also contained the same content. Both the psychology he learned in school and the information at the Intelligence Outpost mentioned a crucial point in communication.

That is, don't give the other party too much time, or too many choices.

Because too much time and too many choices make people overthink.

Just like at this moment, Su Yue knew clearly that Li Haoyang actually longed to be a top-notch secret agent, and bringing him into the Deep Abyss Organization, in a sense, was helping him fulfill his dream. But when such an opportunity was presented, Li Haoyang would definitely be hesitant.

As for the reason for his hesitation, it was simple: he knew very well that he was just an ordinary grassroots person, with no connections, no relationships, and even his talents were not outstanding.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and even if there is, the tall person gets it. A hot pie falling into the lap of a three-no person like Li Haoyang, who has no money, no background, and no outstanding skills, without even killing him, can only happen in fairy tales.

But Su Yue knew that this world is full of various opportunities, or what could be considered 'pies'.

And the difference between a tall person and a short person is simply that the former has the courage to reach out.

Li Haoyang actually had nothing to lose. On the contrary, he would gain a lot. Su Yue firmly believed this.

"Congratulations, you have made the right decision," he continued in a deep voice.

"I don't know if this decision is correct, but can I ask a few questions?" Li Haoyang's voice was somewhat apprehensive, yet also a bit carefree.

"As a welcome to new members, I will give you the opportunity to ask three questions," Su Yue replied calmly.

"What kind of organization is the Deep Abyss Organization?" Li Haoyang asked hesitantly.

"It is an intelligence organization. You don't need to worry, this organization is not involved in any wrongdoing or illegal activities. Although it is secretive, it will not act as a tiger's accomplice." Su Yue guessed what Li Haoyang wanted to ask and directly stated the answer.

This was also Su Yue's positioning for his intelligence center. Leaving aside the issue of values, purely from a practical perspective, Su Yue did not want to end up on the official blacklist because he was involved in some criminal incident.

This was a suicidal act, at least while his Intelligence Outpost level was still very low.

Developing discreetly and not attracting anyone's attention, especially the authorities, was what he needed to do at the moment.

"Is this organization related to President Lan?" Li Haoyang clearly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

"If you are referring to President Lan Zijun of Yuantu Company, then I can only say that there is a certain relationship. In a sense, she provided the organization's funding," Su Yue also answered honestly. This was not a lie either, after all, Lan Zijun was currently the organization's only client, and she had just contributed a huge sum of forty million.

"Okay, I'll save the third question for later, when I think of it." Li Haoyang's voice became more relaxed. President Lan's name was indeed quite convincing.

"Very good. Are you ready to accept the mission?" Su Yue asked.

"I'm ready," Li Haoyang took a deep breath, "What is the content?"

"Your mission is to modify your permissions on Yuantu Company's intranet, upgrading from one of the ordinary network administrators to the highest administrator!"

"At the same time, this action must not leave any traces, whether it's modification records or login records!"

"In other words, I need your account to be completely invisible on Yuantu Company's internal local area network!" Su Yue said seriously, "Can you do it?"

"I can do it, but is this for the convenience of stealing information... Okay, I won't ask." Li Haoyang replied hesitantly.

"Very good. Now you have at least mastered the first key point of intelligence work: don't ask what shouldn't be asked! As for the second key point, I can also give it to you for free: don't say what shouldn't be said!" Su Yue's voice was somewhat cold, and he continued, "The mission must be completed before 4 PM this afternoon. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the Deep Abyss Organization."

"Okay, I guarantee I will do it."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yue's face was full of smiles.

Presumably, Li Haoyang's heart was full of doubts at this moment, because although he didn't say it explicitly, he had intentionally or unintentionally revealed a little.

That is, the so-called Deep Abyss Organization's understanding of Li Haoyang!

This can be seen from this mission alone, because besides Li Haoyang, there really wasn't anyone else suitable to do this.

After all, among the people Su Yue knew, only Li Haoyang was one of the company's network administrators!

Li Haoyang, like Su Yue, majored in market research, but his focus was different. He specialized in network big data research, which requires a certain level of network management and even programming skills.

Therefore, Li Haoyang was the network administrator for the market research department, responsible for system maintenance, receiving and sending various documents, and also running errands for paper documents.

He certainly had administrator permissions for the company's internal local area network. Upgrading permissions and erasing his digital footprint was just a minor task for him.

Of course, he was still somewhat wary now, afraid that the so-called Abyss would use his account to harm the company.

However, he was clearly overthinking. Firstly, Su Yue didn't need him to provide his account password, because Su Yue already had it.

Their desks were so close that Li Haoyang's local area network account password was directly his computer username and password. Su Yue didn't even need to guess.

Moreover, Su Yue had no intention of using this account to harm the company; this was just one part of his plan.

Before the Intelligence Center System was upgraded, Su Yue would not be able to obtain certain key equipment.

But he had to have a channel to communicate with Li Haoyang and Lan Zijun.

And the company's intranet was clearly a very good communication channel. As a local area network, every computer in the company had an independent number on the network, which was very suitable for point-to-point communication.

This saved Su Yue the trouble of having to painstakingly pass notes. To be honest, he was already tired of such low-level and risky methods.

Furthermore, the local area network itself had sufficient concealment and security. Its powerful external firewall could isolate all tracking eyes from the outside world.

As for whether Li Haoyang would suspect Su Yue, Su Yue was not worried about this at all.

As the saying goes, 'a leaf obscures the view, one cannot see the Tai Mountain.' People's psychological habits are like this: when suspecting something, they always suspect from outside their small circle.

In Li Haoyang's mind, Su Yue was also a grassroots person, just like Li Haoyang, the kind who couldn't even grab a free lunch that fell from the sky.

If someone said Su Yue was the Director of some intelligence organization, Li Haoyang would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

He would only suspect those who had the ability, connections, and funds to establish an intelligence organization, and Lan Zijun was clearly the most reasonable suspect.

Su Yue pulled out his IC card and casually put the small object in his hand into his pocket.

This small object was actually just a small magnet. The landline receiver converts sound into electronic signals using a carbon powder cartridge installed in the earpiece. One side of the carbon powder cartridge has an electromagnet. Once the call is connected and the earpiece is powered, the electromagnet generates magnetic force.

Through the vibration of the carbon powder cutting the magnetic field lines within the sound, the current generated by the earpiece also undergoes subtle changes, thus converting sound into electronic signals.

Placing a magnet next to the earpiece can affect the magnetic field lines formed by the electromagnet. Due to magnetic force and distance issues, it won't significantly affect the formation and transmission of the signal, but it can distort the sound.

This was a very old but very practical small trick.

Su Yue stepped out of the phone booth. Li Haoyang had successfully been absorbed as a subordinate of the organization.

That is, promoted to Intelligence Outpost agent!

Of course, this agent did not know that he was working for Su Yue, but mistakenly thought his Boss was Lan Zijun.

However, this misunderstanding was exactly what Su Yue wanted.

Having only one agent was not enough. The Intelligence Outpost upgrade required two agents.

And for the second agent, Lin Jia, Su Yue also currently had a plan, which was progressing smoothly.

Next, it was time to proceed to the next step.
