After Phoebe's grandmother died, she had to be adopted or fostered under U.S. law, and in order to reduce the trouble, Langley entrusted a family of diplomats who happened to be working in South Korea at the time to adopt Phoebe, and this was the same family that adopted Barbara. Soon after, however, the diplomat's tenure came to an end, and Langley followed his old routine and arranged another for Phoebe.

At that time, Barbara had just started her work in Eastern Europe, and Phoebe was adopted for too short a time, so Barbara only took advantage of the vacation to go to South Korea to see Phoebe once with her second sister Fellami in the first family.

Phoebe's appearance has been bewitching since she was a child, and her background is pitiful, so the family who adopted her is very sympathetic to her, of course, part of the reason is because of the psychological evaluation provided by the Sky Lock Project. She said that she didn't want to go to school, so she said that she was going to work in a car repair shop, and her family went through Guò internal channels and picked a car repair shop in the vehicle maintenance sequence of the US military stationed in South Korea, and even Phoebe went to work in a high-end Western restaurant or even became a chef, and was able to enter a Western restaurant like Tagulos that ordinary foreigners are not necessarily qualified to go to, and there is also an element of family helping.

It's just that Phoebe can't remember faces, many times she handles interpersonal relationships in a purely logical way, fortunately, the two diplomat families are not ordinary families, they are very receptive to the diversity of people, and most of their children are adults or about to become adults, under the guidance of their parents, they really treat Phoebe as a family. Locke once worked in the car repair shop where Phoebe worked, and fought with a group of officers who came to repair the car for Phoebe. However, in Phoebe's opinion, even if she didn't use this nosy big brother, those people would not be able to bargain with her - of course, Phoebe still remembered this.

Phoebe knew that her naked eyes would have an imperceptible psychological impact on strangers—that is, people she didn't remember—and Phoebe naturally didn't want to be unintentionally noticed because of an accident in the adoptive family, so Phoebe chose to live alone.

Speaking of which, the second family members who adopted Phoebe were quite surprised to hear that Phoebe was very close to SNN, they didn't know anything about SNN at the time, but they didn't restrict Phoebe and SNN's contacts, and SNN was privately invited to the embassy and private residence. And the reason why the current SNN's vision is -≮dǐng-≮diǎn-≮小-≮ say, .↖.≥os_ (); will surpass his peers, and it is precisely because he has had such an experience.

Phoebe hid from home, because in the second adoptive family, there were only three sons and no daughters, and when Phoebe first went, the eldest son Locke was still preparing for a master's thesis at Jereus Law School, and when he heard that the family had adopted a younger sister, he traveled all the way from the United States to South Korea to see Phoebe......

And the second son, Chloe, was at the West Diǎn Military Academy, and after hearing about this, she also took leave to go to South Korea to see Phoebe......

Only the youngest son, Jeffrey, has been traveling in Europe after graduating from high school, and he can't be contacted, so he didn't rush to South Korea as soon as possible, but ......

This brother's enthusiasm really made Phoebe unbearable, and she thought that it was enough for her to know Sister Sun at that time.

In fact, there is a reason why Phoebe thinks so, when she first returned to South Korea, Phoebe lived with her grandparents. Although her grandfather didn't say it, she knew through the old man's affection that in fact, the family did not welcome her, and Phoebe's grandfather had always been haunted by the tragic death of his only daughter in Indonesia, thinking that if his daughter had not had such a marriage and had not become the daughter-in-law of a Chinese family, there would naturally not have been that kind of ending.

Phoebe never knew that the union of her parents was not actually blessed by the woman's parents.

And Phoebe was born as a girl and is the descendant of a Korean daughter-in-law, so she is not very valued in her father's family.

In addition, after the Nanyang incident, Phoebe can no longer remember faces, but she has an extra ability to feel other people's feelings, Phoebe found that the people who appear around her, except for SNN she met in South Korea later, no one can make her feel completely safe, even those who are named relatives, so the word "relatives" is different from ordinary people in Phoebe's understanding.

The two families who adopted Phoebe, although they have long been mentally prepared for the diversity of people, and have also seen the psychological assessment of Phoebe by the Sky Lock Project and some precautions when getting along, but face recognition disorder is still an extremely rare physiological disorder, so there is very little research on this disease, so they still treat Phoebe in the same way as normal people, and the result will naturally make Phoebe uncomfortable.

After all, Phoebe at that time was still not the Phoebe who learned a lot of things, remembered a lot of knowledge, saw a lot of things, and was able to use logical reasoning to judge the general intentions of others in combination with emotional perception.

However, although Locke's idea of wanting Phoebe's sister to rely on them was completely bankrupt, it also brought a lot of new inspiration to Phoebe, and it can be said that the reason why Phoebe's thinking has become what it is today has a lot to do with these three brothers. And the one who influenced Phoebe the most was Locke.

As a master's student in law school, Locke naturally has a very strong logical thinking ability, which is the only way of thinking that Phoebe can rely on, and the perceptual way of thinking, even the sensibility, Phoebe herself doesn't know if there is, but even if there is, Phoebe will suppress the sensibility to something close to nothing, because sensibility can make people make mistakes, and for Phoebe, the experience of discovering that her eyes are very special in the Hawaii rehabilitation center told her that if she made a mistake, it was likely to mean death.

The reason why Locke turned into a quasi-astronaut in training was actually influenced by Phoebe when he influenced Phoebe. Originally, as the eldest son in the family, and from such a family, Locke should have entered the judicial system or prosecutor system after graduation. After the crazy old man incident, in the eyes of Langley, it was enough to deal with it in a low-key manner, and Phoebe naturally did not like to be high-profile, and her adoptive parents naturally got a briefing on the situation, seeing that Phoebe was fine, and her spirit was the same as in the past, she did not say much, but this result made Locke very annoyed. And Phoebe said this to him: " Locke, I don't appreciate your annoyance at the moment, in the diplomat family, no matter who you are, you should have the awareness that danger may occur at any time, and after the danger, if it is not in the interests of diplomacy, it is also the right thing to pretend to be deaf and dumb as if nothing happened, I heard that you are now worried about choosing a judge system or a prosecutor system, but you are always so hot-blooded, I think you should not enter these two systems, these two systems face more unscrupulous opponents, and your blood will bring disaster to yourself and your family. ”

Because their father also agreed with Phoebe's words, Locke, who was difficult to calm down, was confused for two days, and in the past two days, Phoebe has not taken the initiative to mend the relationship that seems to be causing a rift.

Two days later, Locke went to Tagulos to find Phoebe and asked the little girl, who was a full ten years younger than him, whether he really wanted to give up his current choice.

And Phoebe said this time: "Ancient China had such wisdom, but they didn't know the true face of Lushan, only because they were in this mountain." Meaning, when you are in a mountain, it is difficult to see the essence of the mountain, because you are already one with the mountain. Studying law will make people accustomed to pursuing small things and details, and feelings will also go up and down because of these small things, no matter which way out you choose, you are already easy to be enthusiastic, it is difficult to control this diǎn, even if you have more knowledge, you can't change it. However, you may be able to try to see the Earth from space and put the real Earth in your heart, and maybe you will have a new insight......"

Then, Locke resolutely chose to join the Air Force and signed up to become an astronaut......

Now that Locke is training at the base, he was a little surprised to see Barbara, first greeted his teammates, and said as they approached amid their laughter: "Hey, Barbara, you're getting more and more feminine." ”

Barbara was a little stunned when she heard someone call her name, and she recognized who it was at a glance, but Locke's current appearance was much more mature and stable than when she saw it back then, but she still spoke vaguely with the feeling of a few years ago.

Barbara couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, long time no see." Before I came, Phoebe said that it was possible to meet you, and I thought she was joking, but I didn't expect you to be here. You are a typical example of going against the trend, and now is not the time of the space fever in the past, and your choice to be an astronaut is really surprising to many people. ”

Locke shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, isn't the spirit of diplomacy like this, you can't avoid them all because you don't like that field, and speaking of which, the competition for doing this business is quite fierce, you look at those teammates behind me, in fact, after going to Antarctica for seven months of training next year, there will be at most two left." Don't talk about that, you shouldn't have come here because you heard I'm here, right?"

Barbara deeply agrees with the diplomatic spirit mentioned by Locke, and the children of diplomats, who are actually from different ways of looking at things from ordinary families. This is also the reason why the circle in the diplomatic field is relatively general and relatively closed – in this case, the way of understanding the world makes it easier for these people to identify with each other.

The best example is that the senior diplomats of the hostile country are often friends who have a good relationship in private, which is also the reason why the diplomats of the enemy country have become friends mentioned in the film and television works.

This is not a question of value orientation, but a question of the starting point of knowing the world, and people who have this way of knowing actually have different ways of looking at their own lives and the lives of others.

Those who have a similar understanding to diplomats are actually intelligence officers, so diplomacy and intelligence are actually inseparable.

Of course, there are some general macro descriptions above, and they can't be fully applied to some stories, but at least Barbara now suddenly understands Locke's choice, in fact, it may not be a good choice, who knows if when Locke is thirty or forty years old, the aviation field will be rejuvenated and become a new diplomatic battlefield?

Barbara then said, "Of course I didn't come to see you, but it seems that you are doing a good job, will you go to the space station or a general walking mission in the future?"

Locke straightened his windswept hair, groaned and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but at the moment I still prefer to go to the space station, the work of astronauts is too damaging to the body, although the event is longer than multiple walking missions, but there is no need to go back and forth many times, and you know, there is a live video broadcast in the space station, which can accumulate popularity more than walking missions." ”

Barbara suddenly glanced at Locke with some amusement, and said, "Shouldn't you have been holding it in your heart for a long time? It seems that your evaluation of the circle is actually not indifferent." ”

"I'm not a machine, so of course I'll complain, but here, who do you think I can talk to, that is, someone you can trust. Locke said as a matter of course.

Barbara diǎn diǎn head with concern, if she hadn't met Phoebe's mission goal, she would actually be like Locke, because of the difference in concepts and understanding, she would have some ideas about some things and people, but she could only hold it in her heart and couldn't tell others. Therefore, Barbara suddenly felt that she missed Phoebe very much, after all, it can be said that the past six months have been the most comfortable period of time since she worked. And most importantly, when she was about to set off to deal with the censorship, Phoebe actually said a lot to her for the first time, no matter what Phoebe's departure diǎn was, at least Barbara felt that Phoebe also cared about her very much.

Thinking about it, showing some faces, Barbara's heart flashed with emotion in an instant, although Locke is actually not particularly familiar with Barbara, but the child from the diplomat's family also has a special diǎn, very good at finding other people's micro-expression changes, Locke is also very good at this, so he asked a little funny: "Look at your expression, who are you in love?"

Barbara's heart sank, and she understood that when she thought of Phoebe just now, her expression leaked a flaw, and when she was in Eastern Europe before, if such a flaw appeared, it would actually be very fatal, she looked at Locke's expression, and found that in addition to some smiling meanings, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied. Therefore, he said: "No, you know that I am now the escort of Phoebe's side, and I am on a mission twenty-four hours a day, how can there be an incident to think about this." ”

Locke raised his eyebrows, noncommittally diǎn diǎn head, changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that Phoebe is now running a very big company, and it has started a business with the Pentagon, last time you seemed to ask for help from home, saying that Phoebe wanted to join the Air Force, and now you are running here again, she can't be interested in being an astronaut, right?"

Barbara glanced at Locke again, shook her head, and said, "She has joined the Air Force, but she is an AR in the Equipment Department." And ......" Barbara pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "In the future, some of your food will be developed by Phoebe, let me tell you in advance, that thing can't be eaten more at a time, otherwise it will last." ”

"Ah, I know if you don't say this, I had it last time I was eating and training at the underwater training center in Minnesota, and it was semi-liquid food from Titanus, right?"

"Huh?" Barbara was suddenly surprised: "We didn't supply that thing to the Ministry of Defense at all, and we didn't have any export sales, how could you have it?"

Locke suddenly laughed and said: "This is not simple, I heard that this thing is specially for aid to the famine areas in Africa, and it is so chaotic over there, and the Ministry of Defense and the Aviation Administration steal samples and come back to study them...... And I'm still wondering, this thing is easy to digest, the taste is adjustable, and there are no metabolic residues, why doesn't Phoebe put it on the market?"

Barbara frowned and sighed: "You know that Phoebe values not money, just look at the development of Titan, we are from a family, in fact, we are very sensitive to rights, it is estimated that Phoebe is the same, she knows that once this food is officially launched, the weak Titan will definitely not be able to withstand the oppression of large conglomerates." Moreover, Titan is still doing in-depth development of semi-liquid food derivatives, so it naturally does not want this thing to enter the market. In order to join AR this time, she also considered whether to tempt NASA with semi-liquid food, but she didn't expect them to move fast and have already been used for training. ”

When Locke heard this, he first diǎn his head, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked: "I've seen the molecular structure of this thing, not to mention anything else, according to Phoebe's experience, it's hard to believe that she developed it." I've heard that ninety percent of the people in Titan have participated in neo-Nazi activities, so isn't she being accused by anyone?"

Locke's subtext is: Is there someone else behind the boss of Titan? After all, Titan has so many new technologies that it is hard not to wonder if these are Nazi technologies that the Allies have missed......

Barbara looked at Locke with some surprise, and then suddenly smiled, "It does look a little similar, you probably have seen the lost, and you also know semi-liquid food." In addition, the decipherment of the black water book she got a few days ago is indeed very similar. ”

Locke shrugged his shoulders and diǎn diǎn head, that's what he meant, the technical products currently displayed by Titan are the most suitable for military use during World War II, and the decipherment of the Black Water Book is obviously in line with the special diǎn that Germans like to study the occult during World War II.

Barbara asked helplessly, "A lot of people think so?"

Locke smiled a little helplessly: "No, some people in the circle speculate after drinking, you know, the perspective of engaging in diplomacy is usually very unique, but it can't be said that it is unreasonable, like the illusion of the projection of the lost system, and even deceive the infrared vision, which is absolutely enough in World War II, while modern ground radar can easily identify which is an illusion and which is a real vehicle." As for semi-liquid food, it is obviously extremely convenient to transport or carry as war materials, and once faced with the situation that the material warehouse is occupied, it is easy to destroy, which is very in line with the scientific and technological concept of Germany at that time. ”

Barbara frowned diǎn diǎn diǎn head, indeed, the possibility of such speculation is quite high, after all, she has also worked as a diplomat before, and often needs to force herself to come up with as many possibilities as possible in relation to current events.

As a result, Locke said: "Also, did Titan integrate the shipyards along the lake in Detroit, and also bought a large piece of land as a production base, not long ago there were rumors that you were smuggling there, and there were also rumors that you were secretly building submarines, anyway, there was everything, and then the Secret Service and the NSA jointly intervened to prevent the rumors, and as a result, there were new and more secret rumors, saying that you were developing marine biological weapons for the Pentagon......"

Barbara suddenly cried and laughed: "I haven't left the circle either, why haven't I heard anyone say it?"

Locke shrugged his shoulders again: "After you left Eastern Europe, didn't you say that you were going to enter the political arena completely, so the news in the diplomatic field will naturally not be so well-informed, and you also know that all kinds of news are being produced in the circle every minute and every second, so you don't have to be too sensitive." ”

In Barbara's view, Locke was actually tempting, intentionally or unintentionally, so she knew that the best way to deal with it at this time was to laugh it off, and even continue to joke on the topic: "How can it not be true, you probably don't know, Titan also runs an SS soldiers' memorial." ”

In fact, few people know this information, because after all, it is the SS. So Locke was stunned for a moment: "Alas?"

Barbara smiled again: "Hehe, the memorial is real, you can go and see it when you have the chance, but it's not what you think." A few days ago, I went to a group of Israelis, saying that they were visitors, but they actually wanted to help fill in some information, and they felt that this memorial really reflected the respect and remembrance of the lives lost in that war, but you also know, after all, it was about the SS, so I didn't plan to make a big deal about it in the first place. ”

This time, Locke groaned diǎn diǎn head, and suddenly asked, "That memorial, is it Phoebe's idea?"

"Of course, our little sister's perspective has always been so unique. ”

Locke nodded thoughtfully, but instead of continuing on the topic, he said, "After hearing that you were assigned to Phoebe by Langley, the second lady of the Frings family called me not to get me wrong, really, I'm not a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything. ”

A slight smugness flashed on Barbara's face, and she said, "After Phoebe went to your house, I became the youngest in the family again, so I still pay attention to everyone, and it feels pretty good~"

Locke just didn't say anything about it this time, he naturally didn't know, in fact, Barbara really had a diǎn "hostility" towards Phoebe at the beginning, but before she could see Phoebe, Phoebe was transferred to Locke's house.

Locke suddenly said after finishing his head: "By the way, you go back and tell Sù Phoebe, don't answer any phone calls, I can't use a personal phone when I am training." Well, forget it, you go back and help me tell her, the space mission is very harmful to the reproductive system, so some things have to be done quickly, almost eight months later she will be an aunt, you sue sù she said that I am about to get married, well, yes, the bride is preparing for the graduation defense, so the wedding will be held in September. ”

Barbara suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, Locke, don't look older than her, I don't know why he can always make people feel a little funny when he talks about things that should be sad or happy......

Barbara smiled and said, "Well, okay, I'll tell her, besides, congratulations, but aren't you going to start patience and cooperation training in Antarctica next year?"

Locke waved his hand and said, "According to the regulations, I have to freeze some more sperm, which should be enough." ”

Barbara suddenly felt the urge to roll her eyes......

Before leaving, Barbara told Sù Locke that Phoebe wanted to come here to shoot a team variety show, and Rock didn't understand much about the Korean entertainment industry, but he was very looking forward to seeing Phoebe and SNN, as well as the group members they worked with, and patted her chest and promised that she must be mixed in with Phoebe's crew for filming......
