Chapter 12 〇 12 "Meet the Parents" with the Demon King
Frontier Strategic University, President's Office -
After Lin Xiu finished reporting his work, he was waiting for his father to ask questions, but when he saw his father pointing to the position at hand again, Lin Xiu nodded, did not shirk, and sat on the sofa next to his father. Lin Yan pushed the teacup to Lin Xiu and thought about Lin Xiu's report by himself.
"You just said that there is a problem with the target Dongfang An's superpowers, can you elaborate on it?" Lin Yan asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes. Judging from the results of today's superpower measurement of the target Dongfang An in the Super Security Bureau, the score is E. The superpower level has dropped significantly, of course, this can be considered as the result of the disappearance of the ability after the backlash of the portable space, but it can also be considered that the E-level is Dongfang An's real superpower level, and Dongfang An was not originally a superpower. Actually, I'm more inclined to the latter. ”
"The latter? The usual reasoning is the former. ”
"Because Dongfang An was deceived by the portable space. The power that belongs to oneself will not deceive oneself, and the power that does not belong to oneself has a very low degree of fit, and at the same time it will endanger the owner. Lin Xiu said his basis.
"Superpower fit? I see, this is the first time I've heard of this statement. Lin Yan said.
"Has no one proposed this theory before?" Lin Xiu was a little surprised. At this moment, Lin Xiu didn't know that his innate experience of strength fit was not a common phenomenon.
"After so many years, you are the first. Lin Yan said, "If you analyze this premise, Dongfang An's situation is indeed very problematic." ”
A person like Dongfang An, who has an "extremely distinct personality", suddenly has a big pie falling from the sky when his life is not satisfactory, and it is actually easy to speculate what actions he will make. And after quickly increasing his strength in a short period of time, let him know that the person around him who originally "oppressed" him could already be ravaged at will, and most people would choose to raise their eyebrows. At the same time, if you find that there are S-class superpowers around you and can defeat them, then this raised eyebrows can easily turn into a big fight.
This is simply a crime of inducement.
"Yes. I don't know what's behind the scenes, so I originally planned to use the 'Balance Shield' to investigate, so as not to involve the Super Security Bureau and make things more complicated. Lin Xiu said.
"I understand. When Zheng Wenhan brings back the target, he will immediately take a closed investigation, and if the Super Security Bureau has an excuse, I will solve it. ”
“…… I'm sorry for the trouble. Lin Xiu said, and at the same time bowed slightly to his father in his seat.
There was a sudden silence in the room. Lin Xiu's bowing movements, the deep meaning of the words, of course Lin Yan understood.
"No hassle. I've wronged you......" Lin Yan smiled, with a sigh in his tone.
"Brother has a reason, in fact, I can't be sure if there was a problem with me at that time. If you check it together, it's good. Lin Xiu sat up straight and said very seriously, "Dad, thank you for treating me like before." ”
"Silly boy, what's there to thank for, don't you know what it means to be a 'daddy'? Now it's obvious that you are more at a loss, both of you are my children, I believe in you, and I believe in Dacheng." Lin Yan patted the armrest of the wheelchair and said.
"Hmm. Lin Xiu nodded.
Lin Yan looked at the son in front of him, thought of something, and suddenly said, "Why did you suddenly say this, isn't it...... What happened in the Super Security Bureau? Dacheng 'bullied' you again?" This is half a stern tone and half a joke, which is very relieving of the atmosphere.
"Dad, my brother didn't 'bully' me," Lin Xiu's description of his father was a little crying and laughing, "It's me who has something new in my own situation." As he spoke, he took out a pen-shaped portable controller from his jacket pocket, the controller of the superpower detector DH77X. Father asked a question before he spoke, and Lin Xiu took the opportunity to change the topic.
"This is?" Lin Yan frowned slightly. Control zhì device?
"It's the controller of the new superpower detector in my body. Lin Xiu explained, and at the same time handed the controller to his father with both hands, "Please take it." ”
Lin Yan took it: "...... Why did you send it to me yourself? Is there anything special? No, what kind of model is this?"
Lin Yan had three questions, and he chased one faster than the other.
My father's insight is still so powerful. Lin Xiu thought so, and said, "Here's the thing. I just went to the underground base of the Super Security Bureau, and my energy level was measured to reach 1001 points, so my brother changed the detector for me. ”
"You have reached 1001 points, super S-level ......?" Lin Yan said that he was not surprised, it was definitely fake, and he couldn't help but confirm.
"Yes. ”
Lin Yan was thoughtful, and Lin Xiu leaned over to add a cup of tea to his father.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Yan finally sighed: "I didn't expect that 1001 points really appeared...... It seems that the International Superpower Association hesitated again and again to choose one of the two and select the research results that were announced to the public, which was just wrong. ”
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, science is a collection of hypotheses that have been proven at this stage, and today's axioms may be overturned tomorrow. Dr. Lin Xiu, an internationally renowned scholar, expressed his scholarly opinion, "Over the years, the International Superpower Association has also been constantly researching new topics, presumably with more than 1,000 points, which has been integrated into the existing standards, but it has not yet been officially released." ”
"You also know?" Lin Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, then he thought about something and smiled, "Oh, it seems that the International Superpower Association has opened up some practical permissions to S-level superpowers." ”
"It seems so. ”
"Well, I know about the 1001 points. Let's continue with the question just now," Lin Yan gestured to the controller in his hand, "What model is this?" Knowing the super-S-level thing, Lin Yan cared about this even more.
“…… Uh, dh77x. Lin Xiu lowered his gaze, but his voice was still clear.
"Well, I'll look at the performance. Lin Yan took out his portable terminal from his pocket and entered the query command, his permission, it is not a problem to check the dh77x.
"......" Lin Xiu.
After Lin Yan finished browsing the performance of the DH77X, he shook his hand and displayed it on the three-dimensional screen in the office, and his voice was stern: "Colonel Lin!"
Lin Xiu quickly got up and stood upright.
"Such a thing, how can you actually agree?" Lin Yan's clear voice couldn't hear the emotion.
"Minister, the result of my analysis is: this is better. Lin Xiu replied.
“…… Lin Cheng, that kid, did you still let you try it?" Lin Yan asked in a deep voice. Seeing Lin Xiu looking at himself with a "you also know this" look, Lin Yan glared at Lin Xiu, sighed, and then completely abandoned the steady leadership image: "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father! Lin Cheng's kid is very straightforward to his family, and he doesn't have any tricks." ”
“…… Oh, brother, I'm family. Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment and said.
"That's what you care about? You even helped him bring this thing over...... Afraid that I'll be angry?" Lin Yan became more and more helpless the more he spoke, and a certain Cheng dù said that he was indeed qualified to "know the son Mo Ruo's father".
"Well, that's not all I care about. I asked my brother to try it, also to determine if the strength of DH77X is within the tolerance range in an emergency, and it can be forcibly removed. ”
"......" Lin Yan. Sounds silly.
After a while, Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiu's peeking at his face, and sighed helplessly: "What are you looking at? Sit down." ”
"Yes. Lin Xiuying smiled reassuringly.
"I don't usually laugh, but what do I laugh at this time. Your dad has a better temper now than when I was younger, ten years earlier, and I have to beat you both. Lin Yan said very sternly, "Silly boy, you are too protective of your brother." Deliberately expose the super S-level to the Super Security Bureau, and add chips to your brother's status?Next time, the super S-level will be kept secret, and DH77X will be down. Your brother is such an adult, how to gain a foothold in the Super Security Bureau and let him be responsible!"
Dad laughed. Lin Xiu said against his father's fiery temper.
"You're serious!" Lin Yan said.
“…… Dad, actually, I wanted to ask you for a favor. "Lin Xiu.
"You...... Go ahead. Lin Yan said.
"Dad's work all morning, especially the left leg is very stiff if it doesn't move, let me press your leg." Lin Xiu asked.
"Is this 'let me help'?"
"Brother asked me to control the zhì device and the test data to you, according to common sense, it's almost time to communicate with you to confirm. Lin Xiu said.
Lin Cheng didn't have a trusting attitude towards Lin Xiu now, so he naturally wanted to confirm whether the delivery was completed. And it will be stuck in time, and it will not give Lin Xiu time to do his hands.
"Well, it's not bad to give your brother some 'fierce medicine'. Lin Yan, who understood his son's deep meaning, said.
"Thank you, Dad. The beautiful and magnetic baritone, Lin Xiu thanked him, got up, walked to his father's side, and knelt down on one knee.
Seriously massaging his father's paralyzed calves, Lin Xiu's hands were very steady, and his flaxen-colored hair hung down, making it impossible to see his expression.
Lin Yan looked down at his son. Is this a flattery?
Just then, a request for communication came. Lin Yan glanced at the other party's name and connected the communication.
Lin Cheng never expected to see such a picture of "father's kindness and filial piety" after connecting his father's communication, and he was so stunned that he almost forgot his purpose, but fortunately, he was also experienced in a hundred battles and came back to his senses relatively quickly.
"May I ask Minister Lin, have you received the things entrusted by the Super Security Bureau to Colonel Lin?" asked Lin Cheng after saluting.
"Roger. The old man was expressionless.
"......" Lin Cheng came down in a cold sweat. When his father was angry with him, he wouldn't feel so stressed.
"It's good for you to go home for dinner at night, it's normal for my son to have his own thoughts when he is older, and I don't want to beat you up now. Lin Yan said.
"......" Lin Cheng looked puzzled. What did Dad say?
"Think for yourself!" Lin Yan.
The picture froze on Lin Cheng's puzzled expression, and Lin Yan cut off the communication. And the picture on Lin Cheng's side was naturally fixed on Lin Xiu's care for Lin Yan.
"......" Lin Xiu.
After the communication ended, Lin Yan's voice gradually calmed down again: "Okay, your brother is not stupid, you should understand what we mean." ”
"Hmm. Lin Xiu looked up at his father, "Thank you, Dad." ”
Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiu's cheek that was beaten today, and said in his heart: One or two, both ask him to express their determination to each other, right? One beats his younger brother in front of him, and the other rarely takes the initiative to approach him and shows his brother what he has been doing. Should he lament a pair of silly boys, or should he lament that being a father is not easy?
Forget it, now he really doesn't have the idea of settling accounts with his eldest son.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiu beside him: "Silly boy, you just protect him." ”
"......" Lin Xiu.
"Call you stupid, don't really pretend to be stupid and don't speak. The communication has been cut, get up. Lin Yan said.
"I'll press it for you a little longer. ”
“…… All right. ”
"By the way, I just received a report this morning. Maintaining such a posture, Lin Yan lowered his head and said, "Since you are super S-level, you ...... The new one has changed the control device, this task is out of you, it is very suitable, and after that, I will also explain it to the Super Security Bureau. ”
"What do you need me to do?"
"Knowing the energy storm of 25 years ago. Lin Yan said.
"Yes. Lin Xiu said.
"Recently, we have detected a special energy response similar to that of the energy storm 25 years ago in both countries R. ”
The energy storm 25 years ago, a major event that occurred in the same year as Lin Xiu's birth, although its influence among the people was deliberately weakened, it was definitely an important part of the superpower records of the major powers. Therefore, it is worthwhile to send people, and send strong people. And because it is very important and widely implicated, when the situation is unclear in the early stage, it is better to sneak in and investigate.
"I see. Lin Xiu said.
"Good. I will do my best to issue the official assignment, and next week at the latest, I will arrange for you to go to the University of R for a teaching visit. Lin Yan said, seeing Lin Xiu stand up after the massage, he couldn't help but make a joke by the way, "It's a pity, the students who are looking forward to Teacher Lin's class are going to be disappointed." ”
"I'll sue them, and I'll find you with advice. Lin Xiu looked at his father expressionlessly and said.
"......" Lin Yan. In comparison, this kid was still cuter when he first flattered him.
"Well, Dad, I won't bother you if there's nothing I do. Lin Xiu offered his farewell.
"Wait," Lin Yan stopped his son, "It's almost noon, if it's convenient, let's go have a meal together." It's been a long time since I've been eating a rotating hot pot, and the old man is embarrassed to eat it himself, so you can accompany me. Your casual clothes are in the old place of my office. ”
Since he injured Lin Yan three years ago, Lin Xiu has automatically moved to the officer's dormitory of the school, and he rarely goes home for dinner. Lin Yan thought of asking Lin Cheng to go home for dinner in the correspondence just now, and felt that he should call Lin Xiu to have a meal with him today anyway.
"......" Lin Xiu.
Colonel Lin suddenly remembered a certain guy who was in the way, and he regretted bringing it a little.
"What's wrong, don't you want to accompany me to eat children's things?" Lin Yan pulled off his tie and summoned someone to help him change his clothes, but seeing that his son didn't react, he asked suspiciously.
"It's not. I'm willing, but," Lin Xiu paused, "Garthersis Hill is in the reception room, I'll bring him to you, and you should be able to see it if you update your appointment records." ”
"Is there anything important for him? Nothing important...... I don't mind going to eat hot pot together. ”
It seems that today Minister Lin has recognized the easy and interesting rotating hot pot, and feels that it is very suitable for being a father to appease his son, who is expressionless but may be a little depressed.
"......" Lin Xiu.
Let's go eat the rotating hot pot together, whether a certain Demon King minds or not...... The answer is not good.
"Does he have something important?" Seeing that his son didn't speak immediately, Lin Yan asked.
"Minister, I would like to report an important piece of information. Lin Xiu said suddenly.
“…… Say. "Lin Yan.
"After the enchantment of Bermuda, the name of the Demon King of the Red Flame Realm is: Garthersis Hill. ”
"......" Lin Yan.
"......" Lin Xiu.
"............" Lin Yan.
I have to say that this should have been a super shocking news, but in this particular "rotating hot pot" situation, the atmosphere is a little bit out of flavor.
"The purpose of the Demon King's coming to the human world is not clear, but it is determined that there will be no serious danger for the time being. Lin Xiu continued to report.
“…… cough, "I don't know how long it took, Lin Yan finally recovered from all kinds of feelings, thinking about what his son said just now, and had a doubt, "The purpose of the demon king is unknown, then, what is the basis for determining that there will be no serious danger for the time being?"
"When the Demon King appeared, he made a contract with me. Lin Xiu said.
"Well, the contract is a binding spell unique to the demons, and if the demon king makes a promise, then the credibility is very high. ”
"Yes. ”
"What is the content of the contract, and the promise not to hurt anyone for the time being?"
"The content of the contract is: with my real name, I swear to Lin Xiu, respect the oath, and swear never to harm the people and things that Lin Xiu protects, so as to swear and ask for love. Lin Xiu reported truthfully.
".................." Lin Yan.
What?
