Spy Family

Lu Linbei and Lu Yezhou have been unable to join the family's spy organization, each for different reasons.

The children on the farm received the same education from an early age, but split up around the age of fifteen. Some continued to receive regular education, while the other group - a much smaller number - were selected by the Mei family to enter special schools. In addition to the normal curriculum, they began to receive In spy training, students are eliminated every year and new ones join.

These future spies take normal exams and have to wait until they graduate from college before they can officially join the organization.

Lu Yezhou made a mistake once in college. He actually showed off his knowledge about spies to outsiders. Although most of his knowledge was wrong and would not cause actual harm to the organization, his superiors still believed that he was not strict enough. Being a spy remains to be investigated.

Lu Linbei's situation is more complicated. He was selected very early to become a Mei family member and received basic spy training. Except for his slightly poor physical fitness, he was excellent in every aspect.

Soon, he noticed a detail. Unlike the students who were selected, those children with the real surname Mei would be selected whether they wanted to or not.

When he was about fifteen years old, he finally realized the meaning of interstellar orphan. Although he had read relevant articles, he always thought that it was a term that had nothing to do with him.

Lu Linbei felt disappointed for a while when he discovered that the person who had been taking care of him was not his biological mother. Other than that, he didn't have any other thoughts. There were many children like him around him, and he felt no obvious discrimination.

After two years of basic training, a spy teacher said to him: You should be an analyst. It's a pity that your last name is not Mei.

There are two development paths for spies. One is to be an investigator, charging on the front line, recruiting peripheral spies, and collecting as much material as possible. The other is to be an analyst, responsible for finding the most valuable information from large amounts of data.

There is no clear line between the two. Everyone has to start as an investigator, but in the end only people with the surname Mei can become analysts. There is no way. Although this position is not high, it comes into contact with too much sensitive information, so it can only be done by The most trusted person takes charge.

According to the rules, teachers should not say such things to students, so he never mentioned it again, and Lu Linbei did not ask further questions. The turbulence in his heart quickly calmed down, and he was willing to accept his fate.

When he was preparing to take the college entrance examination, he showed his stubborn side for the first time. He ignored the advice of his teachers and insisted on applying for the history department, majoring in earth history. This is a major that few people care about. Some young people with no worries about their future take it out of temporary interest. There are some students who come to study for four years because of poor grades and no other choice.

Even so, Lu Linbei may still be absorbed by the organization. Spies always need an identity anyway, and historians are also good.

But in his junior year, Lu Linbei became sick.

Strictly speaking, this is not a disease. It is a certain mental phenomenon. It will fall into a pessimistic state for no reason. It is not as serious as depression and usually recovers on its own without treatment. It has a common name called Star Syndrome.

The probability of interstellar orphans experiencing this symptom is as high as 20 to 40 percent. Some people speculate that this may be related to the experience during the embryonic period. The long interstellar travel has some kind of magical effect on these small clusters of cells.

There are many related academic articles, but there is no conclusion yet.

Most star autism manifests itself in childhood. Lu Linbei's syndrome was very late, with moderate symptoms. It did not interfere with life, but affected his studies.

The Mei family planned to abandon this seedling, which was reflected in the fact that there would no longer be regular teacher visits.

Lu Linbei decided to take a break from school for five years. Suddenly, the Mei family opened its door to him and waved enthusiastically. To be honest, this made him a little strange.

Lu Yezhou was also selected, and when Mei Qianzhong was leaving, he notified him at the door.

Lu Yezhou was overjoyed and thanked him reservedly. As soon as Mei Qianzhong left, he did a somersault in the small bedroom. After he stood firm, he immediately ran to the window, stared outside for a while, and said, Lao Qianzhong He must have become the regional team leader, and we are the new group he wants to establish. Lao Qian is a powerful person. Since childhood, we all regard him as the leader, including children older than him. I guess he will be in the future If he can become deputy director, or even director, if we follow him, he will also have a chance to be promoted...Why don't you say anything?

Be careful. Lu Linbei pointed to his mouth.

Ha, I won't make the habit of talking too much again. I'm not talking about you. If it were someone else, even my mother, I would... Lu Yezhou made a gesture to seal his mouth.

Lu Linbei didn't say anything. He finally became a spy as he wished, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart.

Are you still thinking about that woman? Lu Yezhou came over and asked. Mei Qianzhong outside had already walked away, You can't work with such a mentality. It's a bigger problem than talking too much. You won't... fall into the same old problem again, right?

I'm wondering why the family recruits a large number of new people at this time. Lu Linbei did not intend to discuss other thoughts in his heart.

Yes. Lu Yezhou sat by the bed and was in a daze for a while, Mom has been rearranging the room these two days. It seems that those college students will not come back during the holidays, which means they have joined the organization in advance. Anyway, This is a good thing for us. If it weren't for the lack of people, we would be dead here. When I think of going to work on the farm, I... It's not that I look down on them. They are all good people, but they are just too boring.

Yeah. Lu Linbei seemed to be listening but not listening.

Lao Bei, you are the second most powerful person in our group. If it weren't for that little illness, you would have become the team leader. Now that the opportunity has come, you will definitely get ahead, but don't leave me behind. , I’m determined to follow you.”

First it was Mei Qianzhong, then Lu Linbei. Within a few words, Lu Yezhou had already followed the two of them.

After sleeping together for many years, Lu Linbei was used to hearing similar words and didn't take it seriously. In order to get rid of his unnecessary thoughts, he began to recall the spy training he had received, Do you remember what your third uncle said?

Third uncle is a teacher and has said too many things. Which one?

He said spies can never be prepared, and those who excel in school may not even get past the first level when they actually go into the field.

Remember, this is one of the words he must repeat every semester. He also said: Even so, you still have to study hard and be prepared. The difference is that people who are not prepared die inexplicably, and people who are prepared will die before they die. He muttered, 'So this is how I died'.

The memory made the two laugh.

Before dawn the next day, the two of them packed their luggage, each with a suitcase, and waited for the arrival of Mei Qianzhong.

Lu Linbei sat on the bed, and Lu Yezhou stayed at the window, trying to spot the vehicle first. It's coming! he shouted, turning around and picking up the suitcase at his feet.

The living room is very large, filled with tables and chairs of all sizes, leaving several winding paths where first-timers are often bumped into.

The other children haven't gotten up yet, and in the kitchen, mother is busy preparing breakfast.

Mother has always been relatively indifferent to adult children and did not come out to see them off. Lu Linbei said loudly: Mom, let's go.

Oh. A perfunctory voice came from the kitchen.

Lu Yezhou also shouted and received the same reaction. He had been anxious to leave the farm, but suddenly he got emotional, put down his suitcase, and ran into the kitchen.

You bastard, how old are you to be so naughty? Go, go, don't make my kitchen dirty.

Lu Yezhou walked out with a smile, holding a stack of steaming pancakes in his hand, A hug in exchange for a breakfast.

Mei Qianzhong was sitting in the car, leaning out of the window and waving to the two of them, I'm leaving for a day, so get ready.

The car is semi-autonomous and still requires driver assistance in non-demarcated areas. Mei Qianzhong drove with one hand and naturally took a piece of pancake from Lu Yezhou, took a bite and praised: It's still my mother's craftsmanship. It’s delicious, and it’s even better when paired with the pickles she made.”

Mei Qianzhong was a farm child who was born normally. He had been socializing with orphans since he was a child. He was accustomed to calling them Mom regardless of each other.

I'll go get some. Lu Yezhou gestured to push the car door.

Mei Qianzhong ignored him and continued driving. Lu Yezhou had no choice but to retract his hand and praised the pancakes. Lu Linbei didn't eat them. He had a bad feeling about the car and seemed to be able to smell Miss Yuan's scent.

Not long after leaving the farm, Mei Qianzhong changed cars on the side of the road very quickly and without any warning in advance. He parked the car on the side of the road, said let's go, opened the door and got out of the car, and strode towards another car parked in front of him. car.

Lu Linbei grabbed his suitcase and got out of the car. Lu Yezhou was stunned for a moment before following him.

Soon, the vehicle entered the designated area and was able to drive automatically. It turned the seat a thousand times and faced the two people in the back row. They recalled the past events of their childhood, chatting and laughing all the way, and skillfully found the food and wine in the car. , there are snacks.

Halfway through, they changed cars again. The process was quite thrilling because the cars on the road were driving one after another and driving very fast.

After getting in the car, Mei Qianzhong said: People who come from the farm are semi-open spies. It may be useless no matter how you hide them, but this is a habit and you must keep it well.

Lu Yezhou had been looking at Mei Qianzhong with admiration, and immediately nodded in agreement. He wanted to say something, but the other party had already turned to look out the window.

It was a seven-day journey, and it only took one day to return to the city. They drove through a neatly planned new city, and entered the old city shortly after nightfall. Mei Qianzhong controlled the vehicle by himself, drove in several circles, and parked on the street in front of an old building. superior.

The building is twenty or thirty stories high, which is relatively short compared to the surrounding buildings.

The elevator was so dilapidated that people felt uneasy. If they wanted to go to the third floor, they might as well take the stairs.

A standard small two-bedroom apartment is where two newlyweds live.

Although it was an organized place, Mei Qianzhong still went through the process carefully, then asked the two to sit down, and stood opposite him, his expression becoming serious for the first time, 483, remember this number.

483. Lu Yezhou said immediately.

Lu Linbei repeated it.

Group 483, I am the team leader and you are the team members. Keep this number in your heart and don't say it out in the future. Don't say it to anyone, even people in the organization.

The two nodded.

I am your only team leader and your only boss. If one day, someone suddenly comes to your door and claims to be a higher boss, even if this person is from the farm and is someone you know, what will you do?

Lu Yezhou raised his hand to wipe his neck.

Lu Linbei nodded in agreement.

Mei Qianzhong smiled and said, Let's talk about this first. You can rest. I will come again and assign you tasks.

Mei Qianzhong left.

Lu Yezhou looked around and cheered when he found food in the small kitchen.

Lu Linbei walked to the window and saw that the vehicle he came in was still there, but Mei Qianzhong did not appear again.

His eyes were quickly attracted to the scene across the street, and he couldn't look away for a long time.

Lu Yezhou walked out and asked doubtfully, What did you see?

Lu Linbei stretched out his hand and pointed. Lu Yezhou looked at it for a while and said, It's just a small barber shop.

The heir to the planet who was killed was his barber shop. I saw it on the news.
