A play within a play, a shadow after a shadow Chapter 40 before coming out of the tiger's den

"Is that so......" Long Ao listened to Xingchen's narration and nodded to himself.

At this moment, it was sunset, the sky was full of stars, and the fighters flew towards the base under the cover of night. Everyone sat lazily in the fighter plane, looking exhausted.

"That's basically it," Xingchen looked at Long Ao, "It took some effort, thanks to Gu Lichuan's strategy, otherwise it would really be a situation where you have to destroy the Moonlight City." ”

Gu Lichuan looked at the scenery outside the window, although it was night, but the stars in the sky attracted his attention - so complicated and bright, some scattered, some tightly clustered, exuding a light blue or green light, very charming. He has lived in the city since he was a child, and when he looks up, he sees the gray sky and the tall buildings that crowd into the sky, and it is the first time he has seen so many stars.

"That's really hard Gu Lichuan. Long Ao looked at Gu Lichuan and smiled.

Hearing Long Ao calling himself, Gu Lichuan came back to his senses and winked at the people who were watching him: "Huh?

"The boss is praising you," Ying Lan smiled and bumped Gu Lichuan's arm with her elbow, "If it weren't for you, Xingchen would have gone on a killing spree." ”

"That's right," Gu Lichuan also laughed, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just an idea that I came up with in a hurry, and I can't rely on it alone without your help." ”

"Anyway, Yuehua has already arrived," Andre patted Gu Lichuan's shoulder, and reached out to the delicate box again, "It's just right, let the boss and I also see Yuehua's true face." ”

With that, he opened the lid. In an instant, the purple light escaped from the box, illuminating the cabin of the fighter at once, Andrei subconsciously raised his arm to block this dazzling light, and exclaimed: "My God." ”

Long Ao calmly took out his sunglasses from his coat and put them on, walked to the box step by step, and stared at the glowing sphere in the box.

"It's not easy. ”

So everyone got up and walked up with Long Ao.

Taking advantage of the efforts of everyone to get up, Gu Lichuan slowly took out the liaison device in his pocket again, and the time on the liaison instrument at this time clearly displayed 22:43. He remembered that he had looked at the liaison once on the way out of Moonlight City, and at that time it was clear that the liaison device could not display the time. But by the time he picked up his teleportation at noon, he could already check the time again, and at that time he was still wondering if the teleportation had broken, but it didn't seem to be the caseβ€”perhaps it was only caused by the jump in space during the traversal.

Then he began to think again: when he went to the Moonlight City, it was already late at night in Lop Nur, and the Moonlight City was dusk, and when he left the Moonlight City, it was dawn on both sides, why? If it was hidden in an unknown place, how could the flow of time be fast and slow?

Unless...... The City of Moonlight is not on Earth.

Thinking of this, Gu Lichuan couldn't help but shudder. In other words, Moonlight City is on an alien planet?!

However, the landform, people, and even culture there are so similar to the earth, what other planet can give birth to such a civilization besides the earth?

Of course, all these doubts are only located on the Moonlight City - who has ever seen a mouse several meters tall and a centipede more than ten meters long on Earth!

"What do you say......" Gu Lichuan looked at the liaison instrument in his hand, and had no clue for a while, so he could only ask Yintong without confidence, "Moonlight City, where is it?"

As expected, Silver Pupil replied: "You kid has a lot of questions. ”

After complaining, he still spoke: "First of all, I have to tell you that Moonlight City does exist, and you don't have to doubt yourself about this, and second, as for where you ask it exactly, I can only tell you that it is not on Earth, but it is not alien either. ”

Hearing his answer, Gu Lichuan was taken aback: "Then where is it?!"

"Why do you have to coexist in the same space as you?" asked Silver Hitomi rhetorically. After speaking, he stopped talking, and there was a kind of silence between Gu Lichuan and him.

Gu Lichuan said that he was a little confused, and Yintong's words instantly shattered his understanding and the common sense he had established since childhood. He thought hard for a moment, and his head began to buzz.

At this moment, Long Ao buckled the lid of the box, and the purple light dissipated in the cabin.

"Okay, this mission is finally over, everyone's hard work," Long Ao took off his sunglasses and said to everyone, "There is still some time before returning to the base, let's rest first." ”

So Gu Lichuan left behind the questions in his mind and began to look at the stars outside the window again. He felt that things like stargazing were more suitable for him.

At this moment, he felt someone coming from behind him.

"What are you looking at?" Ying Lan leaned her head to the window, next to Gu Lichuan, "Oh, you're looking at the stars." ”

"That's right," Gu Lichuan smiled, "Don't you think it's beautiful, I've never seen so many stars." ”

"Because you grew up in the city, didn't you?" said Yinglan, turning her face and looking at him with a smile.

Gu Lichuan nodded.

"I started traveling when I was very young, and my dad was very busy and never accompanied me, so it didn't matter where I went," Ying Lan looked out the window again, as if reminiscing about the old days, "I have been to all over the world with my friends, Jerusalem, the Desert River, the Hawaiian Islands, ......"

In the midst of the ice and snow, Ying Lan was wrapped in a thick coat, looking still a little immature, I don't know if it was a few years ago.

"Miss!!" Behind Ying Lan, the young man's voice looked very reluctant, "Can we go slowly?"

Ying Lan looked back at him, there was no superfluous expression on her face, just like when she saw Gu Lichuan for the first time, there was only a trace of anger in her tone: "You are too lazy, you can't marry a wife in the future." ”

The young man was carrying a large amount of luggage, and he didn't care: "What can I do if I can't marry a daughter-in-law? ”

"Hmph," Ying Lan laughed slyly, "Then I'll go and sue my dad, so that you can only beat a bachelor for the rest of your life." ”

The young man suddenly laughed: "That's okay, then I will be Miss's personal bodyguard and protect you for the rest of your life." ”

Ying Lan was stunned for a moment, as if touched by his words. She looked at the boy with some confusion, and the snowflakes behind her were fluttering.

"You're really ......"

Before he finished speaking, the young man suddenly pointed to the sky behind Ying Lan with a look of surprise.

"Look, Miss!"

Looking back, the sky was full of auroras, gorgeous and dazzling.

That view, that moment, made her unforgettable for the rest of her life.

Gu Lichuan looked at the distracted Yinglan, at this moment, she was smiling like a flawless statue, clean and beautiful, and she was so beautiful.

"Yinglan," Gu Lichuan waved his hand in front of her, "What are you thinking?"

"Huh?" Ling Lan turned her head to look at him lovingly, like a child awakened from a dream. After a long time, she closed her eyes and smiled weakly.

"I'm fine. ”

"Look at the two of them," Mu Yi, who secretly watched the two chatting, leaned next to the white fox and Xingchen, "The relationship between the two of them is not ordinary." ”

Hearing this, the two of them leaned their heads over at the same time, and even the indifferent stars rarely showed interest.

"Tut-tut," the white fox shook his head helplessly, "Look at Yinglan, a heavy color and light friend, we were born and died with her, and it was not as good as the week that Comrade Gu Lichuan knew her." ”

"This is normal," Mu Yi looked up at the white fox, and there seemed to be a slight mockery in his dark green eyes, "If you can also be as considerate and careful, gentle and generous as Gu Lichuan, then Ying Lan will definitely like you very much." ”

The white fox stuck out his tongue and did not refute.

"Is this the rhythm they want to be together?" Mu Yi asked himself, touching his chin.

"Are you stupid," the white fox patted his head, "It's so close, it must have been together!"

"No," Xingchen interrupted the white fox and looked at the two of them by the window, "Although they are close, in fact, both of them still have someone else in their hearts, at least for half a year, neither of them will take the initiative to make the relationship go further." ”

After speaking, he looked back at the white fox and Mu Yi beside him. Naturally, both looked at him with the same eyes as aliens.

"You...... How do you know this? Check the household registration book?" The white fox looked at Xingchen with suspicious eyes, and at this moment Xingchen seemed to have become a pervert who pretended to be cold on the surface but liked to peep into other people's lives in his heart.

Xingchen certainly knew what the white fox was thinking. He let out a long breath and looked at the white fox with disgust: "I can see what you can't see, such as thermal imaging." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yi seemed to understand, but the white fox still looked confused.

"Internal temperature can reflect a person's state of mind. Xingchen patted the white fox on the shoulder, looking helpless. As if to sympathize with his ignorance.

Hearing this, the white fox nodded in disbelief: "Then I will temporarily believe that you are not a pervert." ”

Xingchen squinted at him for a moment, trying his best to suppress the flames in his hands.

"It wasn't ...... in the first place"

In the darkness of the night, the fighter planes flew silently.

In the city, the lights are bright and green, and the strings are urgent.

The office was brightly lit, and some middle-aged men stared silently at the computer on the desk, not saying a word.

Behind him, the night of the whole city crowned him.

Suddenly, he was alert and looked past his computer to the door.

No one.

He shrank back, his eyes swept to the dark shadow on the table.

Subconsciously put his hand under the alarm device under the table, and the middle-aged man stood up with a sigh. But when he saw the figure of the person clearly, the tense nerves gradually relaxed again, and the hand that was about to press the button was also retracted.

During the whole process, the black-robed figure at the table did not speak, just looked at him silently.

"Can you knock on the door the next time you come in? The middle-aged man sat on the chair and drank the tea in his cup with some anger. Then he looked up at the silent shadow.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter. The middle-aged man turned off the computer and regained his composure.

The door was gently pushed open, the reflection of the lenses shot in, and a figure in a white coat walked in - it was Professor Qin Hong, a weapon development expert from the Technology Development Bureau.

"Minister. Qin Hong stepped forward respectfully, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the black shadow standing at the table. Suddenly beckoned to him in a little panic: "Come here, what are you doing standing there!"

The black shadow tilted his head, walked unhurriedly to the table, and stood with Qin Hong.

"Excuse me next time," the middle-aged man licked his lips and straightened the documents on the table, "Let this guy knock on the door before entering the house." ”

"I'm sorry minister, they don't have the habit of knocking on the door in this business......" Qin Hong smiled awkwardly.

"Forget it, let's get down to business," the middle-aged man shook his head, "Long Ao sent a message saying that he had already gotten Yuehua." ”

Hearing this, Qin Hong was taken aback: "Actually, I really got it!"

The middle-aged man sneered: "I told you a long time ago that you can't underestimate him." ”

Qin Hong nodded and replied, "I know, I will definitely ask the weapon research and development department to seize the time and devote ...... to research."

"Don't worry," the middle-aged man stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "You have already extracted a lot of similar radioactive materials from that stone and put them into the use of weapons, so it should be the same for you to study Yuehua." After saying that, his eyes suddenly became a little gloomy.

"There's one thing more important than that. ”

"Huh?" Qin Hong frowned puzzled.

"Hassan Sharif started a rebellion and no longer cooperates with us. ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Qin Hong couldn't help but panic as well, "He still has a large number of weapons and intelligence in his hands, if he launches a rebellion, the consequences will be ......"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Notify the second group and assign the elite to prepare for action." ”

"Don't you want all the staff to go out?" Qin Hong asked as he stepped forward.

"I will let the special operations team also send a few people forward," the middle-aged man smiled, with a sinister glint in his eyes, "Long Ao is a person who should not be underestimated, just right, take this opportunity to touch his bottom." ”

Hearing this, the man in black finally raised his head quietly.

"Let me see this special operations team ......," the middle-aged man smiled, leaning gently on the soft cushions of his office chair.

"What the hell is the ability to do? ”
