Chapter 3 Snack Street Talk
"Asuka Gakuen Station. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info arrived. Please get off the bus through the back door in turn. "In the afternoon drizzle, the bus arrived. A youngsterly dressed teenager struggled to squeeze through the crowd, glanced at the stop sign on the side of the road and then at the bus route, repeatedly confirming that he was not sitting in the wrong place.
He took out a coin from his baseball shirt and bought a copy of the latest issue of the Jiangcheng Morning Post on the newsstand, with the headline on the front page read, "The traffic situation of the Jiangcheng subway system will be effectively improved when it opens to traffic today", which is very ironic compared to the traffic jam around him.
"Boss, do you have anything to eat?" asked the boy, walking into a small shop casually.
The owner of the snack bar looked at the red stock market on TV, stroked the sleeping old cat in his arms with joy, stood up with a grin and smirked: "Eat drops, hot dry noodles, soup noodles, fried noodles, beef noodles, knife-cut noodles, wontons, and bean skin, soy milk, eggnog, you can eat and drink as you like." β
The boy asked for a bowl of hot dry noodles and eggnog, and sat down in front of the store and ate it. Well, yes, it's still the taste of the year.
Outside, along the bustling Yanjiang Road, the most popular singing contest is played on the screen on the supermarket faΓ§ade, and the fashionably dressed and hoarse male and female stars flash by quickly, and the various neon billboards on the surrounding buildings stimulate everyone's vision.
Carrying large bags and small bags, disheveled migrant workers are eating broken steamed buns in their arms while seriously searching for information on the recruitment column, while the scenic spots by the river in the distance are mixed with various accents, and tourists from all over the world wearing sunglasses are buying in the roadside specialty shops, and from time to time take out their mobile phones to take a V-shaped selfie.
Two scraped cars were blocked at the intersection in the distance, and the two drivers were swearing and pushing each other, and they couldn't hear the cursing behind the drivers who had blocked three roads.
When I go to the countryside, I look like a rotten Ke person.
More than sixty years have passed since the war, and it may seem like yesterday to a teenager, but to the people of this era, it is already a matter of another world. Everywhere there are high-rise buildings, LED electronic screens, rolling traffic, people have mobile phones in their hands, computers and the Internet have become everyday things like brushing teeth and washing faces, and everything is like a dream for him.
Despite a month of acclimatization training in the bureau after being released, the drastic changes in reality and memory still gave him a strong sense of confusion, and all this in front of him made him dizzy and almost nauseous.
But fortunately, he is Su Jibei, and the professional habits he has cultivated over the years allow him to maintain enough calmness even in a completely unfamiliar era, so he finished eating and drinking in a few bites, then picked up the paper towel that the boss put on hand just now, glanced at the joint address on it, immediately picked it up and wiped his mouth, got up and left.
In addition to all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, the street is full of common cheap stall vendors, pancake fruit, shredded squid, octopus balls, baked gluten, egg scones, sugar fried chestnuts, cold noodles and cold skin...... The whole nine yards.
"Handsome guy, the freshly made pancakes and fruits?" The owner of the pancake fruit stall looked at Su Jibei, who was curious everywhere, but Su Jibei only smiled and waved his hand.
"It's absolutely delicious!, I learned the craft from my old watch, and I sold it abroad, and we sold all the pancakes and fruits, you know!" The boss was in his forties, but with a hearty smile on his face, he could see that he was upright, "It's okay! Once raw and twice ripe! You taste one first! If it's not delicious, you won't be charged!"
Just as Su Jibei was thinking about what this boss was about, the boss said in a low voice: "Beifeng, the director is waiting for you in the red and yellow sign shop at the end of the street." β
Then he continued to pretend: "Is it delicious?
"No, no, I'm full!" he hurriedly paid for the pancakes and left, then pretended to wander around the snack street until he finally entered a red and yellow sign snack bar.
"Beiye, I have seen a legendary big man like you today, and this life is worth it!" The guy in the store couldn't hide his excitement and greeted him and said, "The director is waiting for you in the back kitchen." Come with me. β
Su Jibei was a little surprised: "It's all my own people?"
"Don't dare, it's not a person in the bureau, if you really want to count, then it should also be counted as an old person - count your person. He led Su Jibei towards the back kitchen, and whispered, "Longtan Sanjie, North and South Shuanglong! We little minions have all grown up listening to the stories of you and He Lao, although there is nothing to do, and the task cannot be done, to say that the only thing you have is a heart to serve the country, as long as you say a word, we will not be ambiguous in going to the soup and fire." β
Su Jibei smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
There was a secret door next to the pot table in the back kitchen, and the guy knocked four times, three fast and one slow.
The door opened.
Sure enough, it was the bald man who picked him up from the damn underground project 0079.,Just a month ago he was promoted to the director of the Confidential Division of the Imperial Strategic Special Operations Bureau.,Now wearing a cultural shirt and two oil-stained sleeves.,It's no different from the snack bar owner in the market.γγ
"Xiao He, these places of yours are really unique. Su Jibei looked at the secret room with confidential documents and equipment commonly used in the bureau on one side, flour bags, rice and flour oil on the other, and couldn't help but say.
Bald smiled, except for a few old things in the committee who dared to call himself that in the whole bureau, it was the young man in front of him, although he looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but whether it was in terms of seniority or age, he should call him an uncle.
"Do you know, how could there be such an extra street in Jiangcheng, where every inch of land is expensive? If it weren't for the fact that the old man of my family expected the enemy to get such a piece of land first, we would have no safe land today. β
"What do you mean?" Su Jibei frowned slightly, and immediately heard that there was something wrong with this.
Bald didn't sell Guanzi, and said directly: "All the shops and vendors on this street, all of them are branch offices, to be precise, the old man's own, everyone is his cronies, and the industry is also his private property, not to mention that His Majesty and the committee don't know, even I, who was a son, only learned from the suicide note after he left that this old guy was stingy all his life and ended up leaving such a big family business." He made it very clear - I hope that after death, we will have the last safe house in Jiangcheng, which is the only thing we can do for you. β
Su Jibei didn't speak, a little nostalgic.
"The old man expected the current situation: there are nails in the bureau, not to mention, and now the internal division is very serious. The technical department is very close to the Privy Council, and the intelligence department is not clean with the Zhongshu door, and the people in the East and West have been trying to blow the wind in His Majesty's ears in the past few years, making us stumbling, and we want to abolish our bureau. Ay. β
"So in the end, the second generation like me who can't fart is finally trusted. Bald made a cute and stupid expression, "Even today, for the sake of safety, I have sent all the children to the perimeter to guard, and the two people you met just now are also my cronies." β
"Okay, let's not say much if you complain, this joint, there are three main things. These three things are not safe in the bureau, so I chose here. β
"One is about the old man. After the death of the person in my family, he left you a letter, which was ciphertext, and the technical department did an analysis, but he was confused, and he couldn't parse it with thousands of codecs from various eras in the bureau, and it was estimated that only the two of you could understand it, and the problem was that after the letter was received, the confidential room was invaded......"
Su Jibei couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes. It seems that this letter is of great value, so this letter and some of the things that the old man left you should still be in your hands. β
Bald didn't know where to conjure up a letter and handed it over.
"The second thing, the main thing today. When I was in the bureau, I only gave you the mission to lurk in the Asuka Academy.,But the most important thing we decided to convey to you here for the sake of safety.γ β
Baldness is a little nervous.
"This has to start from twenty-two years ago, when Brittania started a war again, which was condemned by various countries, and the empire and the Duchy of Amenica took the opportunity to develop a honeymoon period, in addition to exchanges in the economic and cultural fields, exchanges in the gray areas also went well, one of which was to exchange the latest third-generation mecha design drawings for ......"
"In exchange for the right to experiment on me. Su Jibei said coldly, as if he remembered a very bad memory.
Bald knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and looked at him nervously, hesitating whether to say it or not.
"Go on. Su Jibei was not angry.
"Hmm. Then the Privy Council fools thought they had taken advantage of the big advantage and immediately agreed to the deal, but ****** the gang of grandsons divided the design drawings into three parts of the transaction, but the most important mecha engine drawings have been delayed, and finally Amenica's experimental team unilaterally terminated the deal after withdrawing from Project 0079, and the drawings have not been obtained so far. β
Su Jibei still had a cold face.
"The DPRK has always been unconcerned about this matter, but it was not until two years ago that we accidentally dug up the plan they had begun to lay out twenty years ago - 'Seventeen Year Cicada'. β
"Do you know the seventeen-year-old cicada? It's a type of cicada that has been dormant in the ground for seventeen years before it emerges and swarms......
Su Jibei frowned, and immediately understood.
"Yes. They may have succeeded in trying to gain your power - according to the intelligence of the fish intestines, they successfully deciphered your genome through that experiment twenty-two years ago, stored a large number of your biological samples, and implemented the 'Seventeen Year Cicada' project within three to five years, secretly conducting genetic modification clinical experiments on the newborn children of the Empire, and we do not know what the specific results of the experiment will be. β
"But if you follow the plan goal provided by the fish intestines, then this matter is more serious than detonating ten nuclear bombs in the empire, and the signs in many places in the empire are now very wrong, and the situation is very unfavorable to us, which is actually the main reason why we invite you to go out of the mountain, according to the information of the fish intestines, their people settled in Jiangcheng, and the target is the school city of Jiangcheng - Flying Bird Academy. β
Bald looked at his watch.
"So from 5pm today, you enter the real mission, the code name has been changed from 'North Wind' to 'Wisdom Teeth', we need you to enter their system, this is your new identity, information and contact information, you have 15 minutes to remember all your information content. Bald handed over a file bag.
"First and foremost, your first identity. Jason Lee, an agent of the Intelligence Agency of the Principality of Amenica, is unmarried, a southerner, supports the Blue Party, is from Base 57, is proficient in special services and covert operations, has a good score in folklore, and is an imperial expert. Parents died five years ago traitor revenge, and the three partners who have been in the past have all died in bombing attacks, so they have a bad reputation, are relatively lonely, lack social contact, and after graduation, they are all one-line operations, even if the world evaporates will not make people suspicious. Six hours ago, he had died on his way to the Empire. Remember everything about him, from now on you are Jason Lee. β
Bald handed over another file bag.
"Your second identity. That is, Jason Lee was originally going to play the role - Su Xi, 16 years old, from Jiangcheng, his parents are businessmen, he has been on a business trip in the Principality of AmΓ©rica all the year round, and recently returned to China to re-study in the high school of Jiangcheng Flying Bird Academy, and now lives in the aunt Yang's house on Laohuai Street in Jiangbei District. β
"I won't say anything about your abilities. You can afford the four words "pillar of the country". You are a person who lived before the war, and no one knew you in this era, there were no social connections with you, and there was no real identity to check. Even if it was the code name 'North Wind', few people knew about it before the war. This is your advantage. β
"From now on, you are Jason Lee, you are Su Xi, you are their man, you must go into complete silence, we will not provide any equipment, funds and intelligence, completely on your own. This is both for your safety and for the safety of the plan. But based on the reason that you are not familiar with this era,We still arranged an assistant for you,Codename'Thrush',The specific situation will take the initiative to contact you after entering the school park,Joints and regular contact methods are in thisγ β
"The third thing, the most important thing of the day - according to the scheduled plan, in 15 minutes you have to immediately take the bus up to the south gate of the school to a cafΓ© called 'Moss', where you will be on time to connect with the people at their Jiangcheng station. Be careful!"
The two shook hands, their bald eyes full of excitement, wanting to say something but unable to say it.
Su Jibei smiled indifferently: "Leave it all to me." β
