Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The space was broken, the phase door opened, and Kant returned from the other world. He appeared in his bedroom, his face was ashen, and he slammed into the wall!

The extraction ability was instantly entangled and spread, and the wall cracked. He broke into Xiaoman's bedroom directly from his own bedroom and shouted: "Xiaoman!"

Xiaoman was at the table, holding a cell phone, next to the signal generator Kant gave her, the girl burst into tears, heard the sound, looked up at her childhood sweetheart, and cried, "Kant!"

Seeing that Xiaoman was safe, Kant first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

At the same time, a familiar scream rang out from the phone's speaker: "Kant! Help me! I am ah ah ah ah ah mother!"

Kant grabbed the phone, and the video call screen flipped and collided. Amidst the noise, only confused figures, fluttering hair, and desperate fights were seen. Then the phone fell to the ground, and the camera was aimed at the ceiling. Swarovski crystal chandeliers exude a captivating glare.

Evil is spreading under the brilliance of this dreamy beauty.

Xiaoman covered his mouth and grabbed Kant's arm, his body shivering.

The sound of fighting and struggling finally turned into rude cursing and dull beatings, and the body fell to the ground weakly, with a thud, followed by the quarrels and roars of several men.

The accent is very heavy, not even English, Kant's face is as deep as water, Horus has already stretched out the robotic arm and probe from his cuff, collecting all the video and audio data.

Finally, the sound of footsteps approached, and someone was approaching An Youyi's dropped mobile phone.

Kant took a deep breath.

"Don't hurt her."

He tried to make his English pronunciation clear and standard: "Her father is very rich, and he is willing to pay for it, a lot of money, as long as his daughter is safe."

This passage of English is extremely simple, it is easy to say, and it must sound even simpler.

But the men's playful laughter sounded from the receiver.

"Hello, Chink." Someone seemed to be bending over and speaking into the receiver, standing far enough away that the cameras didn't catch his face. "have-a-nice-night."

With a click, the screen went black for a while, and the sound of cracking sounded one after another, and then the signal was interrupted.

Xiaoman covered his mouth and finally cried.

Kant backhanded the girl's trembling body into his arms and gently patted her back: "It's alright, it's alright, I'm here... don't be afraid."

Xiaoman gritted his teeth, sobbed a few times, then wiped away his tears and said, "She was kidnapped, and someone broke into the B&B they booked. A total of..."

When she said this, she couldn't help crying, and almost cried again.

Kant held her hand gently: "You can adjust your mood first..."

"No." Xiaoman shook his head vigorously, "The earlier I said, the better the chance of her being saved..."

Kant shook her hand: "It's okay, be good, be obedient."

He stretched out his hand and made a false move, the door of phase opened, a bottle of Sprite fell into his palm, Kant twisted it open and handed it to Xiaoman: "Drink something first, calm down..."

Saying that, he pressed the phone.

The call was quickly answered: "Hello, Comrade Kant, I'm Qin Mengjin, is there anything?"

Kant said calmly: "An Youyi was kidnapped, in London."

There was silence for a moment, and then quickly said: "Understood, report it immediately, we will press and negotiate through diplomatic channels, and urge the British government to take immediate action."

There was the sound of the door being pushed and the summoning bell. Qin Mengjin, who lives in Diaoyutai, quickly walked through the corridor, put on her coat, and pressed the elevator button: "Do you know where she lives?"

Xiaoman, who was taking a sip of his drink, heard the voice from the outside, and looked up and said, "Xiao An has made a position and showed it to me before, saying that it is a mansion in Hyde Park..."

Xiaoman's voice was clearly heard by Qin Mengjin, and the other party was stunned for a moment, then said: "Hyde Park? That's the core area of ​​London, one of the most secure areas, why is there a kidnapping?"

Kant said coldly: "Are you asking me?"

There was a brief moment of consternation and silence on the other end of the phone.

Kant recognized the tone problem.

He has not yet separated from the role played by the other world, coupled with the anger of being called by Xiaoman, the irritability of An Youyi being kidnapped, and even the panic and tears on Xiaoman's face at this time, the Broken Islands defense battle was beaten The plan to cut off, all of which caused his anger to continue to soar in the depression.

"...Sorry," he said, "not targeting you."

"It's ok."

Qin Mengjin's voice softened: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just saying that this matter seems abnormal—is Miss Wang Xiaoman by your side? Is it convenient to talk?"

Kant glanced at Xiaoman, who was still raining with pear blossoms. Xiaoman had put down his drink: "Yes."

"Hello, Miss Wang."

Qin Mengjin, who had arrived on the first floor of No. 18, made several consecutive gestures to the waiters and secret service personnel on duty. The waiters quickly rushed into the staff passage, and soon dragged out a computer on the dining car, which can be used in the President. The waiters of the floor service have been carefully selected and secretly trained in various aspects.

Sister Qin turned on the computer, quickly logged in to her account, and while typing on the keyboard, she said, "Miss Wang, it looks like you got in touch with Miss An Youyi when she was kidnapped, is that true?"

Xiaoman nodded and said, "Yes."

"You're frightened." Qin Mengjin spoke quickly, "Although I don't want to remind you of bad memories, I have to ask a few questions that may make you feel uncomfortable, which will help us to rescue An Youyi smoothly. Madam, this requires your cooperation."

"I see." Xiaoman's nasal voice was still a little heavy, "Just ask."

"First of all, did An Youyi go to London alone?"

"Yes, but she has her best friend in London to pick her up."

"Did you get it?"

"right."

"The hotel they stayed in was near Hyde Park?"

"It's not a hotel, it's a homestay."

"Why a homestay?" Qin Mengjin asked while typing, "As far as I know, An Youyi's family is very good, and her first choice should be the Intercontinental Hotel that has an agreement with her father's company."

Xiaoman didn't know why the other party asked this, but she still replied: "Xiao An said that her best friend helped to book all her itineraries in London. This B&B is a mansion near Hyde Park, and it was a surprise prepared by her best friend for her. , she arrived looking very satisfied and even showed it off to me."

Qin Mengjin asked, "Do you know her best friend? What's her name?"

Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "I don't know, all I know is that Xiao An called her Lulu... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you don't need to apologize for this." Qin Mengjin made a gesture to the subordinate who came to stand by while he spoke.

The signal communication connection, the work team specially connected with Kant entered the working state within three minutes, the official who put down the earphone said loudly: "Interpersonal relationship team! Immediately start the search from An Youyi's classmate relationship, parent relationship and social circle, Find out all those who study in London, England! Make sure that the name with the word Lu is first - of course, there may be none!"

He paused for a while, then said: "After locking in the target, continue to investigate, contact her parents, teachers and classmates, investigate the character of the other party, find all the consumption and consumption records that can be found, calculate the proportion of consumption, whether there is any bad hobby , Is there a chaotic relationship between men and women..."

On the other side, another official is also giving orders: "Investigate An Youyi's father's overseas assets and business conditions, and if necessary, you can directly ask whether he has crossed the line and whether there is fierce competition with foreign companies!"

At Diaoyutai, Qin Mengjin continued to ask, "Did Ms. An Youyi say whether she met strangers on planes, airports, on the road and on the Internet?"

Xiaoman's face turned pale, and he whispered, "I didn't ask... ah, right!"

She seemed to remember something: "On the plane! She told me later that there was no first-class cabin, but she was given a free upgrade, and there was a handsome guy sitting next to her. She said he was very polite and handsome. , knows everything, makes her feel very good..."

"Do you have a photo?"

"Yes, they chatted very well. After Xiao An took a photo with him, he sent it to me."

"Please send it to me."

Xiaoman glanced at Kant, who nodded.

"Furthermore, when Ms. An Youyi was on a video call with you, she suddenly found out that a criminal broke in and kidnapped...Is that so?"

The panic on Xiaoman's face has not yet dissipated, she whispered: "No, she called me after she found out. I was already asleep at that time, and was woken up by the sound of the WeChat call. After answering... she was crying. , said someone broke in and was catching Lulu... She locked the door, she said those people came to her, she said she was scared... and then..."

Speaking of this, Xiaoman's body began to tremble.

Kant held her in his arms and remained silent.

It is conceivable that before he came back, how much fear would linger between the two girls.

An Youyi was in a foreign country, and her supposedly comfortable and pleasant trip was interrupted by the most terrifying accident. She hid in the room of the luxurious residence, listening to the screams, roars and heavy footsteps outside, desperate, crying to her best friend. Asking for help, but Xiaoman, who is far away on the other side of the earth, can't do anything, he can only look at the crying and desperate face on the screen, feeling the fear that An Youyi feels, helpless and afraid...

Qin Mengjin on the other end of the phone was silent, as if waiting for Xiaoman to calm down, and perhaps hesitating whether to continue to ask this girl who clearly had a psychological shadow - she was concerned about Kant's emotions. Obviously, Wang Xiaoman was forced to recall the past too much. would cause Kant great dissatisfaction.

But after a while, Xiaoman's voice rang out.

"Miss Qin," she said, "do you have anything else to ask?"

Qin Mengjin hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind: "I want to know, why did Ms. An Youyi call you for help after discovering the danger?"

Xiaoman glanced at Kant and said softly, "She didn't ask me for help, she asked Kant to save her."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a meaningful "oh" sounded.

But Kant frowned, revealing doubts.

Obviously, Qin Mengjin skipped this topic, and she continued: "Did Miss An Youyi describe the physical characteristics of the kidnappers to you? Or did you see it yourself in the video?"

Xiaoman glanced timidly at Kant, who blocked the microphone.

"I didn't see it." The girl said softly, "I was looking for this button at the time... I was very flustered and messed around. After I found it, I looked at my phone, and they had already rushed in..."

Kant touched her face, signaled that it was okay, and said to Qin Mengjin, "At that time, the situation was in a panic, and Xiaoman didn't see it clearly. We can't expect an ordinary girl to have such psychological qualities... But after I came back, I recorded the final images, and their conversations, not in English."

Qin Mengjin was obviously excited: "That's an important clue, it couldn't be better... Please send it to me!"

"it is good."

The inquiry was almost over, Qin Mengjin comforted Xiaoman carefully, and promised that the state was interfering, exerting pressure through diplomatic means, and urging the relevant British departments to step up solving the case.

She reassured: "Hyde Park is a popular residential area for wealthy people in the UK and even the world. It is the most prestigious core area in London. There have been vicious cases of burglary and kidnapping, and there is secret and strong pressure from the state. The police must will pay attention.”

Xiaoman said softly, "Well... I'll trouble you."

Kant glanced at Xiaoman, thought about it, and said, "Miss Qin, add another weight. Please tell the British side that An Youyi is my good friend. If they can't find it, I'll find it myself."

Qin Mengjin replied: "I don't recommend doing this, Comrade Kant. Like I said, if there is a vicious case in the core area where the upper class gathers, the London police will definitely pay attention to it, and the secret channels at the diplomatic level will be urgently negotiated, and they will also make every effort to supervise the handling. , in this case, it is not necessary to carry your signboard again - it is better not to expose this special relationship."

Kant was silent for a while, then said, "Then help me arrange the flight, I'm going to London."

Qin Mengjin said softly: "I can understand your mood, but applying pressure at the official level is the most appropriate, quickest and most efficient way to solve the problem. You..."

"Miss Qin." Kant said lightly, "It's like this. If I want to summarize my life experience so far into a lesson, that is, don't believe anything until you have absolute control over the situation."

When Sister Qin was silent, Kant added: "The Atlantic Ocean is not covered, don't let me swim over by myself."

"…Okay, I know."

Hanging up the phone, Xiaoman hugged Kant tightly without saying a word.

"Don't be afraid, I will save her." Kant gently hugged the body that was swallowed up by fear, "With me here, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Xiaoman hummed: "Am I so useless? I only remembered after the fact that I should ask her to tell more about the physical features of those kidnappers. I was just crying at the time..."

"No, you have done a good job." Kant stroked her hair, "Don't blame yourself, I will help you make up for your mistakes and omissions. It's not your fault."

Xiaoman hugged his waist, pressed against his chest, and said softly, "It's not your fault either."

Kant's chin was against Xiaoman's head, and when he heard the words, a smile appeared.

He knew what Xiaoman was talking about.

An Youyi had sent an invitation to the two of them before. If they had been happy at that time, today's kidnapping case would never have happened, but Xiaoman didn't mention this, it's not Kant's fault.

"Rescue her as much as possible, okay?" Xiaoman whispered, "But make sure you don't get hurt..."

"You think too much." Kant smiled, "I am more afraid of death than you think."

Xiaoman smiled in a low voice, and was stunned again: "I envy you even more now, it would be great if I also had superpowers, I didn't feel anything before, thinking that you have superpowers means I have superpowers, but it's still different, it happened. With things like this, you can arrange everything calmly, and I'll just cry..."

"It doesn't matter if you have superpowers or not." Kant said softly, "I cried too at first."

"Ah, what's wrong?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Kant's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "I'll tell you next time."

He picked Xiaoman up by the waist and put him on the bed: "It's time to go to bed, you have to rest well... Don't be obedient, it's not that fast, are you going to endure until someone is rescued?"

"It's not impossible."

"Come on, be obedient." Kant whispered, "Go to sleep, I'm here with you, maybe An Youyi will be rescued when you wake up."

He covered Xiaoman with a quilt, and the girl's eyes were still a little red and swollen. He stared at Kant for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "What good news is there, you have to wake me up."

"it is good."

"Before you go to England, you have to come and see me."

"rest assured."

"Pull the hook."

"Good good."

They hooked their fingers, pressed lightly, and smiled at each other.

Xiaoman is indeed very tired. She was sleeping before, and then she was so frightened that she was so sleepy and anxious. Now Kant appears, like a hero to clear all her worries and fears for her, even though Xiao An is still in a foreign land, but it seems , not so worried and afraid.

She only felt her eyelids drooping gradually.

"I want to have super powers too..."

The girl murmured like this and fell asleep.

Kant sat beside the bed, looked at Xiaoman's sleeping face, waited for a while, and then got up gently.

In her sleep, the girl dreamed of a bright starry sky.

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Qin Mengjin sighed: "I still want to ask you to think about it again."

"Don't think about it." Kant said, "Xiaoman never asked me for anything."

He said directly: "How is the situation now?"

"We have completed preliminary negotiations with the British side, and the authorities are sending police to the B&B they booked." Qin Mengjin saw Kant appear and explained the progress just now.

Kant frowned and said, "Wait a minute, right? Did An Youyi call the police?"

Sister Qin looked at Kant with a meaningful look: "Yes, the embassy did not receive a call, nor did her parents and family receive communications and information... That is to say, when An Youyi was in danger, the first The only one that comes to mind is you."

Kant frowned and said decisively: "This is not right!"

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

PS1: This chapter was written very slowly, because I changed my mind and gave up the narrative of An Youyi getting out of the airport and then being attacked at the B&B. It's a few thousand words... Mainly because it feels a little procrastinated, and I consider changing it. This is a way of writing, that is, the main perspective relies on the protagonist to expand layer by layer... Forget it, everyone can see it.

PS2: Also, after seeing the doctor today, the doctor suggested that I go out to exercise to improve my mood. She said that to me. It turned out that the doctor suggested that I go out for a walk every morning and evening to watch the high school girls going to and from school. Got it, start tomorrow.
