Pang Jindong took a deep breath and asked almost word for word: "Then who killed my parents?"

Benjamin replied in a low voice: "Later, by chance, I learned that the same CIA designed to kill your parents, so that you no longer have any concerns in this world, and you can move forward and follow their arrangements without any worries." ”

"Why did this to me?" Pang Jindong couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Because you're chosen!"

"Am I chosen?" Pang Jindong could barely believe his ears and looked at Benjamin in surprise. After being silent for a long time, Pang Jindong asked word by word: "What did I do when I was chosen?"

"I'm just a stepping stone, I don't know the details at all. However......" Benjamin took a sip of wine and told Pang Jindong: "For the next ten years, I have been secretly investigating, and finally I finally got a rough idea of the whole thing. ”

Pang Jindong sighed and said, "Sue me!"

"About two decades ago, the CIA developed a program to select and train the best people. Unlike other similar programs, this one starts with selecting qualified candidates from an early age, and then sets up difficult and difficult circumstances for each person to continue living without their knowledge. If they are good enough to complete this test, they will be taken to the CIA for training in the true sense of the word to serve the interests of country M. The selection was suspended ten years ago and lasted for more than ten years, and no one knows how long the interval between each selection is, whether the range is the same every time, and no one knows how many people were selected, and you should be the last to be selected. Another difference is that the purpose of this program is not to train agents in general, but in a broader sense. I don't know more about the details. ”

"But I'm a foreigner, why did I fall victim to this plan?"

"The scope of the selection is all school-age adolescents in the entire territory of country M. ”

"How?"

"Because of the scope involved, the test was conducted by a number of departments to make the most of the opportunities and ensure that as many young people as possible could be tested. Of course, these departments only carry out orders and do not understand the real situation. ”

Pang Jindong suddenly remembered that after he first came to country M, he did accept a test, which not only took a long time, but also was extremely complex, and the scope was extremely comprehensive, including IQ, reaction speed, logical reasoning ability, etc., far beyond the normal IQ test.

At that time, the immigration office of country M explained that this was the basis for determining which school in country M could be attended by this kind of achievement. At that time, Pang Jindong's family did not know the social situation of country M, so they did not have any doubts. Later, the life of exile made Pang Jindong forget about this matter a long time ago, until he heard these words today. Pang Jindong vaguely remembers that his high score at that time surprised the examiner.

Pang Jindong raised his head and looked at the sky, and sighed gloomily in his heart: "I didn't expect that my life was ruined by the achievement that made me proud!"

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and continued, "I'm just a tool, in charge of executing the plans made against you, that's all I know!"

"What if the chosen ones don't want to join the CIA?"

Benjamin smiled bitterly and said, "The CIA naturally has a way! Or coercion, or inducement, they have many means, why don't you agree!"

Pang Jindong shook his head and said strangely: "However, no one has come to look for me!"

"What did you do after a few years as a mercenary?"

Pang Jindong was silent for a moment, and then replied, "After I paid off my debts with the money I earned as a mercenary, someone invited me to join an organization called the Corbino Center. They have provided me with good opportunities, not only willing to pay me well, but also constantly giving me comprehensive training in all aspects to enhance my abilities. I was very confused about the future and didn't know where to go. Later, I found that I longed for a more challenging and exciting life, but at the same time I was tired of continuing to be a mercenary, a lowly tool that was used, so I agreed. ”

"Corbino Center?" Benjamin repeated, mechanically, and asked, "What kind of institution is it?"

"It is an agency under the government of country M, and often appears as a private organization or a business. They are engaged in some special work around the globe to defend the interests of country M. While what they did had a lot of similarities with what you said about the Corbino program, there's nothing to suggest that it had anything to do with the CIA, and they did some sabotage specifically against the CIA. ”

"For the needs of the political struggle?"

"yes. Departments are holding each other back. Pang Jindong nodded and replied: "Although the CIA is responsible for coordinating the work of all intelligence agencies, after all, it has no right to directly lead the work of others. ”

Benjamin asked, "Where did you learn something?"

"Uncle Benjamin, what you taught me was battlefield knowledge, and their training included manners, various foreign languages, and even the theory of relativity, architectural engineering, and so on. ”

"How were you doing in those years?"

"Not bad. I studied for three years, and then I went on a mission for another year. Some are very dangerous, others are very light. ”

Benjamin continued, "What happened later?"

"Then the center was disbanded, for unknown reasons. Speaking of this, Pang Jindong felt very strange: "The night before was normal, but the next morning I was told that the center was disbanded and we could all go home." But by this time I was no longer confused, and I knew that I needed a stable life, so I returned to my home country. ”

"You're just gone, and no one bothering you?" said Benjamin, gulping down the wine and smashing the bottle severely.

"Of course it's not that simple. Pang Jindong shook his head and added: "I'm just an ordinary trainee, and no one will trouble people like me, but many of those main responsible persons have committed suicide! In doing this business, they are ready to be exterminated or get rid of others at any time! It's really difficult to raise so many intelligence organizations for the sake of country M, I don't know what the CIA will be like!"

Pang Jindong's tone was very relaxed, but Benjamin was not relaxed. He was silent for a long time, and then said three words to Pang Jindong: "I'm sorry!"

"It's nothing, Uncle Benjamin!" Pang Jindong smiled and continued: "It's all made up by the CIA, they know that my family needs money, so they use you to push me on the road of mercenary, if I don't become a mercenary, there is no way to pay off the debts of the Gambino mafia, and if I don't have you, I won't be a good mercenary." But ......" Pang Jindong said this, put away his smile, and said categorically: "They murdered my parents, I must settle this account!"

Hearing Pang Jindong's words, Benjamin felt a little better, and he said in a slightly choked voice: "But I still have to say 'I'm sorry', because I have not told you the whole truth until today, so that you know what kind of conspiracy you have lived in in the past ten years......"

Benjamin's words were interrupted by a woman's voice, and the woman who suddenly appeared told Pang Jindong: "This conspiracy is not over until today!"

Pang Jindong looked back and found a woman in a professional suit, with four big men in suits and leather shoes, standing behind him.

"Miss Parker!" Pang Jindong stood up and looked at the other party.

"Jerry, long time no see!" Miss Parker is more than seventy meters tall and has a very thin build. He has ear-length brown hair and thin cheeks. It should be said that she is very beautiful, but her temperament is very cold and arrogant, and with the iconic hooked nose, it makes people feel unapproachable.

Benjamin smiled bitterly and asked Pang Jindong, "Don't you introduce it to me?"

"Miss Parker......" Pang Jindong looked at Miss Parker and replied to Benjamin: "It was a friend of mine when I was at the Corbino Center, and her father was a senior member of the center!"

"I'm glad you gave me such an evaluation!" said Miss Parker, with no smile on her face, giving her a very uncomfortable feeling. "I knew you were wanted, but I didn't expect to disguise yourself like this, I still like you as you are!"

"You like the original you too!" As soon as Miss Parker first appeared, Pang Jindong realized that the person in front of him was no longer the good friend he was back then. "If I'm not wrong, you're not here to catch up with me!"

Benjamin asked Pang Jindong in surprise: "Are you wanted?"

Pang Jindong smiled slightly and replied: "A little trouble, I will solve it well!"

"I must state that I was here to look for that old, and I didn't expect to run into you, what a surprise!" After a pause, Miss Parker continued, "and when I'm done with my business, we can talk about life after separation!"

"Get down to business...... Pang Jindong immediately realized something and pulled out the gun from his waist.

But a man behind Miss Parker opened fire first, and a shot was fired in Benjamin's forehead.

Blood flowed all over Benjamin's face, he looked at Pang Jindong with a dull gaze, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I'm sorry, Jerry......" The words were said almost one by one, and the tone became lower and lower. Finally, he took a look at the cruel world, collapsed to the ground and died.

"Goodbye, uncle......" Pang Jindong helped Benjamin close his eyes with his hand, then took out a tissue and carefully wiped the blood on his face. Immediately afterwards, Pang Jindong turned around, raised his gun and pointed it at Miss Parker, and asked hatefully, "Why did you do this?"

"The center is going to be rebuilt, and all of you have to come back. Benjamin was just a stepping stone, but he knew more than he should. Moreover, the center will be different from the past, and it is necessary for us to say goodbye to the people and things of the past. ”

Hearing this, Pang Jindong immediately asked: "Is the Conobi Center really a subordinate agency of the CIA?"

"I just recently found out!" Miss Parker continued, shrugging her shoulders, "The center's camouflage is so good that there is no indication that we can know this kind of relationship with the CIA, and mistakenly believe that we are working directly for the government of country M." ”

Pang Jindong nodded: "The Corbino Center has sabotaged the work of the CIA, and with what you said, it can basically be concluded that many of the things the Center does are in fact to serve the interests of politicians, not the government of Country M, or even the CIA." ”

"Jerry, you're still so shrewd, you can guess the reality with a few simple words to you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders, the muzzle of the gun still pointed at Miss Parker. "Should you sue me about the whole thing?"

"I came to kill Benjamin because I didn't want him to say it. ”

"It's a pity you're a step late!" Pang Jindong said, revealing a cold smile.

"It doesn't matter, because our boss is no longer the CIA!" Miss Parker thought about it and laid it out, and the whole thing was not much different from what Benjamin said. It's just that she clearly told Pang Jindong: "The name of this project was called the Konobi Project, and the Konobi Center was established for this purpose. The purpose of the center is to train those of you who have been selected to become full-featured compound talents. And this requires you to have a strong ability to learn and remember, so the center focuses on these aspects in the early days. For example, if you don't know anything about law, you can get a law degree in half a month. It's a pity that the next plan has not been implemented, and the center has been disbanded. ”

Pang Jindong didn't know until this time the purpose of the things that the center taught him in the first place.

"Because the center actually serves politicians, not only can it not let others know about its relationship with the CIA, but even the existence of the agency itself is confidential, so it always appears as a private organization or a company. Pang Jindong lowered his gun and continued to analyze: "No wonder when I joined the center, I was repeatedly and strictly asked to keep it secret because I threatened my life. ”

"Roughly so!"

Pang Jindong asked coldly: "Why was the center disbanded?"

"The center was privately formed by the former director of the C.I.A., who died of a heart attack and took over as the deputy director, with whom he had a long history. After the new director came to power, he overthrew all the previous offices. Although he did not know about the center's deposits, the centers had lost their value and did not have any financial resources, so they had to be automatically disbanded. ”

Pang Jindong thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "If I'm not wrong, the new director still knows about the center's storage after that." ”
