If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 877 Kite String

The golden elevator opened, and the winding and deep corridor appeared in front of me. Warm yellow lights were cast from the ceiling lights, and a halo circle formed at the foot of three steps. The figures of Lin Nian and Chu Zihang walking in the corridor were dimming and dimming. Ming, the green Lanyu cinnamon species on both sides of them are bright green and bright.

This is the fifth floor of the "Fourth Happy Overseas Chinese Healthy Water Club". It is also the No. [-] safe harbor established by Kassel College in the coastal city under the cover of the "Bath Center" according to the "Safe Harbor Agreement" of the Executive Department. It has been in stable operation for more than ten years, and has protected several commissioners who encountered emergencies.

On both sides of the corridor, there is a light brown security door every five meters or so. The door is not a house number, but a unified silver semi-decayed world tree. The silver electronic fingerprint lock is encrypted. Emergency measures corresponding to different situations, arsenals, emergency food reserves and the like are necessary, even if you climb into the safe harbor covered in blood and disemboweled, you can even find a The sterile operating room allows the doctor to operate on you for rescue.

Of course, in addition to the emergency special rooms, there are also normal room types for the commissioner to rest and use. The specifications belong to the normal hotel specifications, and there are all that should be available, but the rest can only be enjoyed at the Regent Hotel in the CBD area next door. .

Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Xian were arranged here earlier by Lin Nian. This is considered the safest place in the city, and the secrecy measures have been perfected. They spent ten years lurking and planting at the root of the city. , From the company resume to the business license, etc., there is no problem at all. At most, the names of the key supervision targets can be seen on the public security anti-pornography list.

Lin Nian and Chu Zihang stopped in front of a security door in the middle and back of the corridor and knocked on the door, three fast and one slow rhythmically, the figure flickered behind the cat's eye, and the door lock opened immediately after seeing the faces of the two outside. It was Lu Mingfei who opened the door. After seeing the complete Chu Zihang and Lin Nian, his expression was a little strange, and his eyes were a little dodgy.

"Well, let me tell you something, don't be in a hurry before you hear it." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a while, and stood at the door without moving out of the way, instead chatting at the door.

"The orthodox 'S' class was let go by you?" Seeing Lu Mingfei's appearance, Lin Nian guessed that something bad happened, so he directly guessed the worst case.

"No, she didn't run away, she was inside." Lu Mingfei glanced back at the spacious suite inside, without any intention of moving away.

"If you are kidnapped, just blink." Lin Nian stared at Lu Mingfei and said that he could faintly hear the sound of a TV program playing in the room. If he was a thief who broke into the safe house, he would definitely choose to turn on the TV. Hide the sound of your heartbeat and breathing.

But after these words, Lu Mingfei stared at Lin Nian with his dark eyes wide open.

Lin Nian knew that something must have happened, so he stopped procrastinating and took a step forward. Before Lu Mingfei could react, Lin Nian disappeared like a frame skipping, leaving only Chu Zihang in the corridor in front of him. , he turned around in surprise and saw Lin Nian had already walked into the back suite.

This suite is considered the largest in the safe house and has the most complete facilities. The surrounding living room is filled with dark blue plush carpets and fully furnished. The surrounding French windows are blocked by opaque beige flannel curtains, hidden in the The LED wall lamps in the edge of the wall provide a warm and bright light source, allowing people to see all the layout of the living room at a glance.

The first thing Lin Nian saw when he walked into the suite was Li Huoyue. After being treated by the blonde girl's blood exchange therapy, she temporarily lost her blood. She is looking at the TV on the long sofa. Yes, she is watching TV. The integrated channel on the LCD TV is broadcasting "Animal World", which is broadcasting to the process of polar bears hunting seal cubs.

Li Huoyue looked up at Lin Nian, without saying a word, her eyes fell on the seized paper document, her eyes stayed on the trace of the torn seal for a moment, and then moved away.

"Where are my sister and Su Xiaoqiang?" Lin Nian asked.

"Uh, Su Xiaoqiang is in the room?" Not far away, the corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched slightly, and he pointed to the brown-red door deep in the suite.

"Are they resting?" The safe house looked safe so far, and Lin Nian didn't think much about it, just glanced at the closed door over there.

"It should be, isn't it?" Lu Mingfei said dryly, and then immediately changed the subject, "Compared to this... I have your phone." He walked quickly to the edge of the coffee table, picked up the phone that had been covering the table The landline microphone on the phone was handed to Lin Nian.

"Who's on the other side?" Lin Nian didn't answer the phone.

"People from the academy."

"I know it's from the college, but I'm asking who it is. If it's the school board, I'll just hang up."

But before Lu Mingfei could answer, Lin Nian heard the familiar hoarse voice from the microphone, "Lin Nian. This is me. With your hearing, you should be able to hear what I said."

The voice of the Minister of the Executive Department is so recognizable at any time, so no matter how chaotic the scene is, the commissioners will always only need to find the only hoarse voice.

Lin Nian looked at the phone receiver in Lu Mingfei's hand for a while, and finally sighed softly, reached out to pick it up and put it next to his ear.

"This is Lin Nian," he said.

"This is Schneider." On the other end of the phone, Executive Minister Von Schneider said softly, "You should know the main reason for this call."

"know."

"Then we need an explanation. The academy headquarters needs an explanation. You led the team out of the operation for more than half a day, more than fifteen hours. Your memory is very good, you should know all the regulations in the "Executive Department Commissioner Manual" .Leaving the mission without authorization is a sign of loss of control, and it will even be characterized as defection when the situation is bad." Schneider said in a deep voice.

Lin Nian exhaled suddenly, raised his head slightly and looked at the constantly bright LED wall lamp in the gap at the top of the suite wall, "Okay, let's characterize me as a defector."

"."

"Two 'S' grades, two 'A' grades, and a teacher who defected together, the school board must have a very exciting expression after learning about the situation, right? Will the hunting commissioner who came to hunt us down be the principal himself? ? Or the whole 'Owlbird' squad that is being made up?" His tone was very light, but also filled with a sense of boredom.

The suite suddenly became very quiet, only the deep and magnetic voice of the host in "Animal World" could be heard. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang didn't speak, even though Lin Nian put the word "defect" on it. They... But the eyes of the former are still somewhat dazed.

"Don't be so childish," Schneider said.

"Don't treat me like a child."

"I never thought of you as a child."

"As the head of the executive department, of course you didn't. It's the school board that treats me as a child. This call should be recorded, right?"

"Yes." Schneider, who was located in the central control room of the headquarters, nodded and looked at the silent Manstein beside him.

"Then, let Norma seal the file for the handover task at the South Railway Station, and the executive department can also contact the school board to tell them that the task is over." Lin Nian said calmly.

"An hour or so later, the logistics department notified us that we had received a request for help from the frontline commissioner, and that Tower A of the Twin Towers in the city has been blocked. It seems that you have successfully recovered that document?" Schneider became serious.

"No, some accidents happened. The documents were destroyed during the recapture process, and the enemy's resistance was surprisingly strong."

As he said that, Lin Nian casually threw the paper bag in his hand on the coffee table. Beside him, Lu Mingfei's facial muscles twitched violently a few times, then he licked his tongue and turned his head to go back to the sofa. Li Huoyue, who couldn't take his eyes off, watched "Animal World" together.

"Destroyed?" Schneider was quiet for a while, and said, "Are you sure it was destroyed? Did you see the document destroyed in the battle with your own eyes? In some way, there will always be some fragments left?"

Lin Nian looked at Chu Zihang and gave him a look. Chu Zihang nodded calmly, so he turned his head, "The indiscriminate release of 'Jun Yan' caused the documents to be directly burned to ashes, including the corpses of the enemies. You should know the level of Chu Zihang's speech spirit in the temperature difference test, there should be nothing in that document that can withstand higher temperatures than copper and iron."

"Okay. The 'SS' level mission will be officially sealed from now on. Due to the special nature of the mission, the mission report can be skipped. Instead, Norma will keep the files based on all the information you provided before. This time the phone recording will also be truthfully reported to the The school board." Schneider answered calmly after a few seconds of silence.

The answer on the other end of the phone was so straightforward, but Lin Nian suddenly frowned. He was ready to sit down and have a good talk with the executive department, but the other party suddenly let go. According to his understanding, Schneider is Did not have this authority to do so, could it be that the other party got a new instruction from the school board behind him?
"By the way. Have you read the details of that document?" Schneider asked. "Of course, I mean before the document was destroyed."

Lin Nian paused, and looked down at the document bag on the table. He did not read the contents of this document. All he knew about the document now was that it was a proposal from the 'Solomon Temple Society' , which involves a project called 'utero', and a name that should not be in the project appears on it.

He was going to look at the documents in this paper bag, but because the previous situation had been changing, he temporarily suppressed this impulse—he was going to take out this document at an appropriate time, a time of "openness and honesty". file read.And now, if there was no call from Schneider, he might have pulled out the files inside.

"No." Lin Nian replied, "What's wrong?"

On the phone, Schneider took a breath and suddenly changed the subject, "Lin Nian, I found that you have been calm since you answered the phone."

"...Shouldn't I be calm?" Lin Nian frowned slightly, not knowing what this sentence meant.

"That, Lin Nian." Lu Mingfei spoke suddenly. It was not difficult to hear Schneider's voice in the microphone given his distance from Lin Nian, so now his expression finally became a little tense, and the palms and backs of his hands were bleeding. sweat.

Li Huoyue, who was on the sofa, also slowly turned her attention to a few people at this time. It seemed that there was a more attractive plot than "Animal World" to be staged.

"Well, didn't you just ask me if your sister and Su Xiaoqiang are right?" Lu Mingfei stammered.

dong dong.

Lin Nian stared at Lu Mingfei halfway through his words when a knock on the door of the safe house interrupted him.

Almost instantly, all the people in the suite turned their heads, and their gazes turned like knives to the open door, where a big fat boy was knocking on the door leaning against the wall, and was covered by such attention-grabbing rituals. Ji Ling stood up straight, "Excuse me, I'm looking for Lin Nian?"

Xu Miaomiao.

This name popped up in the minds of Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian in the room. No one knew this fat boy except the two of them, but why did he appear here?He can appear anywhere, the pizza restaurant at the class reunion, the swimming pool in the gymnasium, the basketball court on the street, or even in the bathing center below the fifth floor of this building, but he should never stand here, in this safe house. in front of the gate.

Before everyone could react, Xu Miaomiao looked at the environment and people in the suite, and thought that the standard of the suite in Xijiao City was okay, but what's wrong with a group of handsome men and women watching "Animal World" in the room?Or are you out of date and unable to keep up with the taste of the new era?But after confirming that he had done nothing "business" several times, he looked at the coffee table and saw Lin Nian holding the microphone, "Lin Linnian?"

"Yes, I am. You are. Xu Miaomiao? Why are you?" Lin Nian doesn't have a deep impression of this boy, but he will never forget it. With his memory, even the faces of passers-by who happened to pass by a few years ago can be seen. Remember clearly.

"Your sister asked me to bring you a sentence." Xu Miaomiao said quickly after confirming Lin Nian's identity.

"What did you say?" Lin Nian was stunned.

He looked at Xu Miaomiao, and if it was him, he didn't turn his mind for a while, and subconsciously looked at the door where Lu Mingfei said that Su Xiaoqiang and his sister were resting.

"No, Xu Miaomiao, shut up! Lin Nian, listen to me, you must calm down." Lu Mingfei became impatient when he saw Lin Nian turning his head. It's definitely not in the form of Xu Miaomiao suddenly sneaking in and throwing torches into the gunpowder pile! .

"Shut up! I really came here with a message. Do you know how hard it was for me to find this place?" Xu Miaomiao choked back when Lu Mingfei choked, and he never had a good temper towards Lu Mingfei.After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Nian again, sorted out his words and didn't care about Lu Mingfei who jumped forward to push him, and said quickly, "Lin Nian, your sister asked me to tell you that she has some things to deal with, and I can't Take you with me, I have to travel far away alone, so that you don’t have to go to her. Oh yes, she also told you to be careful alone, don’t be deceived by pyramid schemes when you go out, be careful or something, By the way, she also said, "Hey, Lin Nian, why are you going?"

At the door of the suite, Xu Miaomiao saw in a daze that Lin Nian dropped the phone receiver in his hand, the phone line tore over the entire landline and cut off the communication, the boy turned around and rushed inside like the wind.

Xu Miaomiao hurried forward a few steps to probe in, only to see that the boy walked quickly to a brown-red wooden door deep in the suite, and stretched out his hand to open the door!
Behind the brown-red wooden door, Lin Nian, who was holding the doorknob, saw Su Xiaoqiang sitting blankly by the bed, and saw that there were still some water marks on her cheeks, which should be tears.

she cried?But why is she crying?Lin Nian didn't know, but at this moment, he finally knew what the bad premonition had been in his heart before.

After the door opened, Su Xiaoqiang looked up and saw Lin Nian, the two looked at each other, the air was heavy and sticky like gelatin sucked down the nose and filled the entire lungs, making people breathless.

"I'm sorry." Su Xiaoqiang stood up from the bed, looked at Lin Nian's red eyes, "I couldn't keep her, I really tried my best."

Lin Nian didn't hear her, he just stood at the door and looked in blankly, but Su Xiaoqiang was the only one in the room, and he couldn't find anyone else.

—

For the first time in many years, the emotion that the boy thought he had forgotten and discarded had returned.

Just like a kite getting tired of the sky, at the moment when he decided to plunge into the sea without hesitation, the little boy who had been running forward on the ground suddenly felt so light in his hand. When he looked back, he found that the kite line was broken.

On the grass, the little boy who looked up at the sky was completely at a loss.
