Late at night, Murmansk military base, central conference room.

The lights out had gone off two hours earlier, but it was still brightly lit.

The communications corps was sitting in front of a large screen staring at the picture as an armored vehicle drove on its way to the Hidden Fog East Slav Branch Building.

They are all supernumeraries of the Hidden Mist that Vladimir has cultivated since childhood, and they know a little bit about the organization and are loyal enough.

"The target is to turn onto the King's Road, which is still a 10-minute drive from the destination. ”

"Continue to observe and make sure that the target is in a safe path. ”

"Roger. ”

In the conference room, Song Tianlin was anxiously pacing back and forth, Ivanov only invited Song Yuan alone this time, and this was the first time that Song Yuan had carried out a mission alone.

"The Hidden Mist East Slav Branch is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, and Song Yuan is not going to the meeting alone this time, don't be in a hurry like an ant on a hot pot. Stuart frowned, Song Tianlin didn't know how many times he had turned in front of his eyes, and he was about to faint.

"That's Lao Tzu's son, can I not be in a hurry?" Song Tianlin sat on the seat, feeling as if a needle was pricking him under his buttocks, and it didn't take long for him to stand up again, "Can you really guarantee Song Yuan's safety?"

Stua was particularly overheaded, he had asked this sentence no less than ten times in an hour, and he tapped the earphones on his ear lightly, "Preston, report the situation." ”

"I'm already in place, the view is clear, no one can spot me. ”

Preston is hidden on the roof of the Kohler Building, overlooking the top floor of the Hidden Mist East Slav Distribution Headquarters Building opposite, where is the meeting room of the Hidden Mist East Slav Branch, and where Ivanov and Song Yuan agreed to meet.

He untied the rectangular box wrapped in black cloth behind his back, and the barrel of the gun flowed with a hideous metallic hue under the moonlight, which was the sniper rifle specially prepared for him by the Geufein Research Department, "Metal Storm".

This sniper rifle uses pulse ignition, the initial velocity of the bullet can reach more than three times the speed of sound, the magazine is equipped with twelve rounds, and with Preston's ability, the magazine can be emptied in three seconds, even if it is impossible to dodge.

"If Ivanov makes any abnormal moves, shoot him directly. ”

"Understood. ”

Preston set up his sniper rifle, and through the scope he could clearly see the armored vehicle in the distance slowly approaching, stopping in front of the Hidden Fog East Slav Division.

The first to get off the bus were a dozen or so Stuart guards who had been urgently transferred from the castle of Geofein, each equipped with a full set of sophisticated equipment, and they scattered around after getting out of the car.

If Preston is the first guarantee that Stuart prepared for Song Yuan, then these guards of the scientific research department are the double insurance to protect Song Yuan.

After confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, Song Yuan hunched down and stepped out of the armored car, and the members of the Hidden Mist East Slav Branch, who had been waiting there, immediately divided into two teams and applauded to welcome the guests, and the red carpet rolled out from behind the door and stopped in front of Song Yuan.

"Try to be as calm as possible, you represent Long Yuan now. The sound of Stuart came from the miniature earphones in Song Yuan's ears, which were only a few millimeters long, and it adhered to the furrows of Song Yuan's cochlea and worked normally even in the case of electromagnetic interference.

Song Yuan took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Ivanov appeared in front of Song Yuan in a formal suit, "Mr. Song, I apologize for what happened last night, I hope it won't affect our friendship." ”

Song Yuan nodded and smiled, "Mr. Ivanov, I saw you in the letter saying that you were chasing last night's killer, do you have eyebrows?"

"We caught one of them and was in the interrogation room. Ivanov stretched out his hand, "Please!"

Song Yuan glanced back at the building opposite, and then followed Ivanov into the open hall.

"This is the office area of the Hidden Fog East Slav Branch, which is mainly used to deal with suspicious and unusual incidents in the territory of the East Slav Principality. Ivanov like Song Yuan introduced.

The style of the office area is no different from that of a normal business center, with hurried footsteps everywhere, office workers in suits and ties attending to the task at hand, and phones ringing one after another.

"Still working so late?" Song Yuan looked around, and the scene in front of him looked like it was specially arranged.

"Generally speaking, there are very few anomalies in the territory of the East Slavic Principality, but because of the recent increase in the movement of the Kola deep well, the system of three shifts has been temporarily changed to ensure that there are enough people here in case of accidents," Ivanov explained. ”

Under the leadership of Ivanov, Song Yuan visited the office area, the information processing center, the command headquarters, the operation group, and the rest area that provided entertainment and recreation for the members of the East Slav branch.

He felt as if a high-ranking official from a certain place had come to a local company to visit and guide.

As the elevator door slowly opened, Song Yuan came to the conference room on the top floor of the building, and there were three people of the same age as Song Yuan standing in the conference room, judging from their appearances, they should have come from different places.

There are Southeast Asian monks dressed in babe robes, a man with an explosive head in a punk style, and a gypsy girl in a Bonian dress.

"These three are the best young men of the Hidden Fog East Slav Branch," Ivanov said, "This is our friend from Longyuan, Song Yuan, Mr. Song. ”

The three of them nodded in greeting, and Song Yuan returned the salute.

"Mr. Ivanov, I'm sure you didn't invite me here to show me around your mansion, right?" Song Yuan looked at Ivanov, repeating the lines that Stuart had transmitted to his ears through the micro-earphones, "Let's get straight to the point." ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Song to be such a cheerful person, no problem. Ivanov snapped his fingers and pulled the curtain down, "Mr. Song, please take a seat." ”

Preston cursed from the roof of the building opposite, Ivanov had pulled down the curtain so thick that he couldn't see the mirror image in the conference room.

"I need to replace the thermal radiation imaging glasses, otherwise I can't see anything. Preston covered his headphones and whispered.

"Received, I'll send someone to deliver it. ”

In the conference room, Ivanov handed a document to Song Yuan, "This is the abnormal situation in the Kola deep well in the past few days, Mr. Song can take a look first." ”

Song Yuan nodded and opened the folder, the white printing paper was distributed with lines of various colors, like a pile of mess, and like a group of snakes dancing wildly, even if there were lines next to the lines indicating what each color represented, but Song Yuan still couldn't understand it, in his eyes, these data were like children's letter pen graffiti.

Ivanov handed over another document, "This is the mission record of the first joint operation between your organization and the Hidden Mist fourteen years ago, please take a look." ”

"How could he have such a thing?" came Stuart's voice.

"What is it?" Song Tianlin asked.

"The content of Long Yuan and the Hidden Mist operation fourteen years ago, all the files of that operation were sealed in the top secret archives of Eichenwald, and those documents were all paper documents, and they could not be found on the intranet at all," Stuart frowned, "It seems that there are people from the headquarters behind this matter." ”

"I've already seen all these things in Long Yuan's files, I don't know what Mr. Ivanov invited me here for this time?"

Stuart mentioned the incident fourteen years ago in the relevant materials prepared for Song Yuan, but it was not as detailed as the document he has now.

Ivanov propped his hands on the table in the conference room, looked at Song Yuan's eyes and slowly spoke, "I hope that this operation of Kola Deep Well will be carried out by Mr. Song in cooperation with the Hidden Mist East Slav Branch, not with Stuart." ”

"Oh?" Song Yuan tapped his fingers on the table, "I need a reason." ”

"Now that Mr. Song has seen the mission records of fourteen years ago, it should be clear that Stuart's ability is simply not enough to solve the contents of the Kola Well," Ivanov said eloquently, "and the East Slav Branch, as the native organization of the East Slav Principality, can provide a more complete guarantee for the operation, which Stuart cannot do." ”

"I don't understand, you and Stuart are both members of the Hidden Mist Organization, shouldn't resources be shared?"

"It seems that Mr. Song still does not know a little about our organization, each of our branches is equivalent to an independent organization, although we are also under the jurisdiction of Europa headquarters, but we do not interfere with each other. ”

"You mean that if I choose to work with Stuart, then it means that I will not get any help from your East Slav branch?"

"That's right, if this matter is handed over to Mr. Song and Stuart, then it will no longer be related to my East Slav branch, and we will not provide any help. ”

Song Yuan nodded, "I'll think about it, but you have to understand that although I represent Long Yuan here, the final decision is still made by the organization." ”

"In that case, then I'll wait for Mr. Song's good news. ”

Song Yuan stood up, "If Mr. Ivanov doesn't have anything else to do, then I'll go back first." ”

"Mr. Song, please slow down," said Ivanov, "and I told you downstairs that we have caught one of the killers involved in last night's attack, and Mr. Song doesn't want to know who is behind it?"

"You were behind last night's attack. ”

Song Yuan was scolding in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face, "It seems that Mr. Ivanov already has eyebrows, so please tell me who is behind all this?"

Ivanov sold a pass, "Mr. Song followed me to the interrogation room and asked. ”

Song Yuan hesitated, the reason why he could remain calm in the conference room was because he knew that Preston was hiding on the roof of the building opposite, as long as there was any accident here, Preston could support him at the first time, if he followed Ivanov to the interrogation room, he would lose Preston's protection, which was tantamount to falling into the mouth of a sheep.

"Does Mr. Song have any concerns?" said Ivanov, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
