latent syndrome

Chapter 18
the next day.

Colin woke up with a hangover and a terrible headache.

And I had a strange dream, I can't recall the specific details, it seems that I turned into a dinosaur, and then I rode a shark and carried a bazooka to participate in a formula car race.

"Are you too drunk?"

Ke Lin sat up from the sofa, and all he saw was an unfamiliar scene. The post-modern style of dark-colored decoration, no main lamp design, all track lights were used, and the walls were full of unfamiliar band posters. There are also drums and some musical instruments in the corner of the room.

There was noise from the living room and kitchen, and because it was an open kitchen, it could be seen at a glance.

Eugene, in house clothes and apron, was bleary-eyed, frying eggs in a frying pan.

Colin: "!!!"

"Are we...doing it?"

Colin woke up instantly, staring at Eugene in a daze.

Eugene rolled his eyes and replied: "I think your position has never been changed in the tavern. When you arrived at the tavern, you were already drunk. I heard from the boss that there was a football game on TV at that time, and many drunkards were there watching it." International live broadcast, when you won the final, you directly blew on a bottle of tequila, I heard that it is still a very wild way to drink, dazzle the bottle around to create a swirl, and then finish it in one gulp, you are now sanctified People in George District regard it as the god of wine, and you really had a legendary night, uncle."

Colin was speechless. With his consciousness clear and his body and mind reconciled, looking at the sofa where he slept and hearing Eugene's tone, he already knew the result.

"Thank you for taking me away and giving me a place to live."

Colin was a little embarrassed. Although he often drank, it was the first time he had drunk to the point of losing his composure.

"You should join the Alcoholics Anonymous Association and quit smoking. Before the submerged disease kills you, you will take the first step."

Although he knew that Colin's living habits were very bad, Eugene never expected it to be so bad.

She put the fried eggs and bacon on two plates, sprinkled some salt, and put them on the dining table.

"It's been a long time since I got up so early. If I have breakfast like this every day, I really don't know how those married people live."

Eugene took off his apron and sat down on the dining chair.

Although Colin didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, he still couldn't bury Eugene's heart.

"Really? You women... after breaking up, will you think of your ex-boyfriend or something like that?"

Ke Lin took a bite of the fried egg. The taste wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

"Why do you say this, do you think of your ex-wife?"

Eugene had seen Colin's data sheet before, and the Countermeasures Bureau had all the basic information for every citizen with a name and surname.

"It's not fair, you know my past and I don't know yours."

Colin was a little upset. Up to now, his friendship with Eugene could be regarded as a life-threatening friendship, but he still didn't know anything about this woman.

"Unfortunately, this is the privilege of the first comer. If you are the first to join the eleventh department, you can also see everything about me. As for your last question, only people who believe in horoscopes will ask such an idiot question. This kind of thing varies from person to person, understand? It’s not that some ambiguous and broadly neutral words can cover up everything, I’m sure not, as for your ex-wife, she may have been very sad since she divorced you.”

Seeing that Colin was about to smoke after two or three mouthfuls of food, Eugene directly choked it out, crossing his two index fingers as a gesture of prohibition, preventing him from smoking in the room.

"But since you're already divorced, there's nothing to say. Don't you think that divorce and remarriage is a way in which both parties don't respect marriage? Such a marriage...can't be called a marriage."

The breakfast was relatively simple, and after eating it soon, Eugene cleaned up the tableware and went to the sink to wash the dishes.

Ke Lin was so depressed that he was taught a lesson by a girl who was a few years younger than him.

He touched the jug in his arms and found it was empty.

There are only two days... Damn it, it means going to the headquarters the day after tomorrow.

Colin didn't have time to linger, put on his coat, and prepared to leave.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"Walk slowly without sending."

……

……

Ke Lin came to the pawn shop and redeemed the watch he had previously pawned with the salary of the eleventh department and part of his old capital.

When I was fired half a month ago, I had to repay all kinds of card debts and huge loans, and I couldn't get rid of the money on my body, so I had to pawn the most valuable thing.

The workmanship of the watch is so exquisite that it can be called art. The back of the dial has codes such as movement and case, as well as customized characters marked with optical fiber.

It is a somewhat naive and naive content, the names of Colin and his ex-wife, and FOREVER.

It was a gift from his ex-wife when he was just married.

Colin rubbed the characters with his fingers. He didn't wear it on his wrist, but put it in the interlayer pocket inside his coat. But after thinking about it carefully, something was wrong. He was afraid that the flagon might scratch the watch, so he put it away. on the other side.

Since the salary of Section [-] is ridiculously high, and there are other benefits after becoming an official agent, Ke Lin directly listed his LDK apartment on the website for sale, and when he gets the money next time, he can directly pay off the mortgage its sold out.

Although this was a loss-making business, Ke Lin could only do this to get back the money he had earned.

After doing all this, Ke Lin left the city in his commercial vehicle. He still had real estate in a community in the suburbs.

……

……

Los Angeles, the suburbs, Moon Lake Resort City, although it is too far away from the city center, it does not mean that life here is inconvenient. There are supporting commercial areas and various resort parks, and the quality of consumption is even better.

A high-end community parking building.

"Hoshino, I'll leave it to you in Los Angeles."

"Yes."

"Your whereabouts have not been disclosed to the Countermeasure Bureau."

"No, I heard that SCT will enter the film industry through a puppet company, so I pretended to be a film producer, lived in a luxurious community, and have completely integrated here."

"That's good. Pay close attention to the actions of the Countermeasure Bureau and the SCT."

"Yes."

Hoshino Matsuka hung up the phone, she specially chose this place as a place to settle, because she would buy such an expensive and relatively remote community, usually rich people would buy it.

They usually don’t live there all the time, they only serve as holiday residences, or secret places to keep their lovers. When the holidays arrive, they go to these beautiful places for sightseeing, sailing yachts in the lake or hunting deer, and there are usually no people. It is relatively secluded, and it is an excellent place to settle down. Even if the whereabouts are exposed, you can quickly realize that you are targeting yourself and escape.

After getting off the car on the third floor of the parking lot, Hoshino Manatsu found a man with extremely bad clothes and an unshaven beard, carrying a flagon with him, taking a sip and still smoking in the non-smoking area.

This confuses her, this man is not like a resident here at all, he may have used some means to trick the guard into stepping in and stealing things, this kind of place is the community that thieves like to care about most.

She didn't care either.

When she reached the building where she was, the man was still following her, which made her vigilant. Could it be that her whereabouts were exposed?
But Hoshino Matsuka was still not reckless, but when this man entered the same elevator with her and stopped on the same floor, she finally couldn't help it.

She skillfully took out a butterfly knife. With her professionalism, even this kind of small knife can deal with most people. She asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Colin: "???"

After experiencing the explosion at the stock exchange, Ke Lin would naturally not be frightened by a butterfly knife.

Although this tall, black, long, straight beauty in sportswear is not inferior to any fashion model, Ke Lin is no longer a young man full of blood and brains.

"Stupid."

Ke Lin left two words plainly, opened his door with a key, and closed it with a bang.

Hoshino Matsuki was extremely messy.
