CHAPTER XLIII
It's a rare time to be at peace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info gently hugged Wang Yulin's back, Ge Chengzhi thought.
The relationship between the two of them has not been exposed until now, but there must be a time when it is appropriate to relax during such a long journey, let alone for the two newly married couples. However, it was very tacit that both of them kept silent about the work: confidentiality, pressure, all kinds of positive and negative things made it impossible for the two of them to communicate honestly, so that they always had a little scruple in their hearts when they saw each other's smiles.
This scruple was slightly broken by Wang Yulin. She cautiously and tentatively took a small step forward: "Lately, the pressure has been a bit high, Chengzhi?"
"Hmm. Immediately nodding in response, Ge Chengzhi snorted lightly, "You look tired too." Okay, Wang Zhaoming, he seems to have always wanted to dig out the entire content of the 0001 project, and Ouyang Pingshui is stupidly acting as a shield in front. It's not a small pressure. β
"If I couldn't even handle this little thing, it would be impossible for me to be the person in charge of the organization. Please don't underestimate how much attention people attach to the project. Gently punching Ge Chengzhi's chest, Wang Yulin smiled and expressed her "dissatisfaction", and then continued to lie on his chest, looking dazed, "But the state on the other side ...... It's really not something I can easily solve......"
"What happened between Lei Wenle and Meng Haoran, I always feel that the atmosphere between the two of them has been much better recently. β
"Hmm...... Because Yin Ying said that she wanted to help reconcile the relationship between the two people. Nodding and hesitating slightly, Wang Yulin still said this matter that was originally only communicated in a small circle of three people, "She said, it would be pitiful if I had been harassed by both sides at the same time. It's called the 'beauty trick'. β
Learning from Yin Ying's tone at the beginning, Wang Yulin used that somewhat naughty tone. This nondescript tone made both of them laugh: a very happy kind of laugh, as if they could really put everything down and settle down. But soon, the vibration from Ge Chengzhi's arm shattered the small and peaceful environment. grabbed Ge Chengzhi's arm immediately, and when he saw the contact person displayed on the screen, Wang Yulin's face changed suddenly: "...... What's going on, my dear husband, and why would our beautiful Uyghur girl, Miss Rahman, take the initiative to contact you in private?"
ββ¦β¦ Actually, because you don't come to me, I have a *** relationship with her. Holding his chin with his hand and thinking for a moment, the corners of Ge Chengzhi's mouth hooked up a little arc, "I'm also a man...... There are always times when you feel lonely, don't you say? If you cheat like this, you will forgive me a lot, can't you?"
For this remark that didn't know whether it was true or not, and was still smiling, Wang Yulin's face sank slightly, and after being silent for more than ten seconds, she shook her head, sighed loudly, and gently put her lips to Ge Chengzhi's ear: "...... Be careful. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If there's anything you can talk to me about. β
β¦β¦ At that moment, Ge Chengzhi clearly felt a sense of reality in his heart: it was really good to be able to make her his wife.
"The same goes for you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Gently imprinting his lips on the other party's head, Ge Chengzhi said with a little doting, "If anything happens, what about me." β
This is the end of the time for warmth. Helena took the initiative to contact this side, presumably to take further action. What should you do at such a time...... It's clearly not her lie that is being exposed. Even if you want to debunk it, you have to wait until the other party's intentions are all clear...... What exactly are they going to do with the asymmetrical advantage? Do they want to control the course of this mission?
The meeting was still in the gravity-free zone, but Helena chose a more tense time: after ten minutes, there would be a routine cargo transfer area, which meant that if the two of them wanted to keep the conversation private, they had to make sure that it was over within ten minutes. Obviously, this has a great advantage for the other side, and she can use this as an excuse to let Ge Chengzhi lose the opportunity to question the false information in person......
"It's a little late...... Oh, it looks like I've disturbed your good deeds?" even after a quick tidying up, the mark left by Ge Chengzhi's actions just now still didn't seem to escape Helena's eyes, "It's too much." Obviously, there is such a *** object as me, but I ran to find the original partner...... Are you already delaying my body? Do you like the old and hate the new? Am I not comfortable enough?"
"No, there's no way around it. Trust me, I'm single-minded with you. I'm going to divorce that woman one day and marry you. Feeling a little amused by Helena's acting skills, Ge Chengzhi decided to follow her words on a whim, "Absolutely." β
ββ¦β¦ It's true, after soothing the soul of the original partner, I became extra confident. Retracting the flirtatious attitude just now, Helena looked at Ge Chengzhi with a slightly serious gaze, "Haven't you been busy investigating and contacting this group of people privately for a while, and you feel very tired?" How, is there any result?"
"I need to report to you? I didn't receive any orders. β
"This is the most basic exchange of information between allies?...... Well, I know you can't trust us yet. Shrugging her shoulders and fully understanding the situation, Helena scratched her head, "However, we have important things to say on our side. β
"Important things?...... What's the matter?"
ββ¦β¦ Let's put it this way, do you think that among these people, who is our common enemy, the Underworld Spy, is the most likely?"
"What do I think?" What kind of answer was she expecting? What would be the consequences if she said what she really thought? After a quick thought in his brain, Ge Chengzhi decided to directly and simply throw out the person who was the most suspicious on the surface, "Obviously, for now, it must be Wang Zhaoming." He has been advocating for the release of all the information on Project 0001, and it is easy to suspect that he is a spy. β
"It's really a judgment that doesn't come out of nowhere. I was expecting some novel answer from your mouth. β
"So," looking at Helena's disappointed expression, Ge Chengzhi tilted his head, "It seems that I can get some novel rebuttal from you?"
"And I hope you won't be disappointed. Smiling, Helena made a "please" gesture, "...... We should support Wang Zhaoming's proposition. When we investigated, we found a task list in the underworld, which said that Wang Zhaoming must be eliminated by name. Moreover, you should also have the corresponding information on your side, Wang Zhaoming has been assassinated at least five times. β
ββ¦β¦ Is this information from the double agent you found earlier?"
"Of course. Beyond that, we can't afford to have other sources of information. Nodding, Helena replied, "I've been testing him these days, and I've obviously been a little secretive. He's not the kind of person who hides, that is, he definitely knows something about the underworld and is trying to fight it. Even if he is not trustworthy, shouldn't we give some support to the actions taken by the enemies of the enemy?"
"The reason...... Sounds like a lot of stuff. Nodding quietly, Ge Chengzhi immediately figured out the other party's routine in general: it is estimated that it was their plan to deceive the true face of the 0001 project during the trip, and then escape immediately when they landed, "However, maybe this is the mission of the underworld spy, right?"
The other side should not know about Ouyang Pingshui at all, and he doesn't know that the other party must pull Ouyang Pingshui into the water together in order to achieve the fundamental goal. In that case, it's obviously a good excuse.
And that's the second point I want to make. We initially thought you knew about the mission of the Underworld Spy, so we didn't mention it, but recently I've noticed that you seem to be confused about it. Nodding, Helena's answer once again made Ge Chengzhi vigilant, "The purpose of the underworld spy is already clear. It is said that the order was given directly by a particularly high-ranking personnel: the complete destruction of the 0001 project. β
"Totally ...... Destroy?"
Is this true or false? Although it is very likely that she lied to fool herself like the one above, it depends on Helena's seriousness...... On the contrary, it makes people feel that it may be true. Thinking quickly, Ge Chengzhi glanced at the time: "...... We don't have much time. You mean, you want me to assist Wang Zhaoming in his actions and advocacy?"
"Yes. The relationship between you and Wang Yulin is very unusual, right? If you persuade two sentences, you will definitely be able to make her say it. β
ββ¦β¦ I'll think about it. Her dedication to secrecy is sometimes even higher than mine. It's almost time, let's go back quickly. β
"What's wrong? Not going to ...... Do you want to taste the forbidden fruit?" Suddenly making a provocative gesture, Helena bent down and pointed her index finger to her lips, "Let those people find out and spread the word, and then we can use the excuse of a tryst to meet and discuss in private in the future?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested at all. β
Not at all. Glancing at the looming ditch, Ge Chengzhi cheered up his wavering heart and turned to leave.
βββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββββββββ
"Have you been having insomnia lately?...... If there's something bothering you, it's okay to talk to the two psychologists. It is best to leave professional things to professionals. β
What Marisa didn't expect was that the first person to say such a thing to her was not Reimu, Sanae, or the psychologist who seemed to be watching everyone all the time, but Tan Soya, the oldest ecologist in the group. The place where the two of them met was the cafeteria, and while Marisa was napping and eating, she sat down across from her and said the above sentence in a homely tone. When she saw Marisa's surprised expression, she smiled, and a few wrinkles symbolizing the vicissitudes of life appeared at the corners of her eyes: "Everyone knows you're tired." You see, the guy over there was actually worried about you, but he was too embarrassed to speak. β
Following the direction of the other man's finger, Marisa looked over and met Juniper's eyes. It suddenly occurred to her that the other party did seem to have been eating at the same time as herself in the past few days, and that she had not been "harassing" him for a while when he was idle and had nothing to do before--thinking that she might be too willful, and that she had gone to talk to people every day in order to pass the boredom, but now she just hung him there without saying a word......
"Don't try to be strong. Settle your own affairs first. Your mental state is not even as good as that of an old man like me. Suddenly, Tan Suya stretched out her index finger and gently poked Marisa's forehead, "How about letting yourself sleep peacefully first?"
"Ah...... But ......" gets stuck halfway through, and Marisa begins to hesitate to tell the truth. However, in the end, she couldn't overcome the desire to talk in her heart, "Actually, I ...... I've had a nightmare before. After that, I haven't been able to sleep well, and I'm always worried about what to do if the nightmare comes true......"
"I see, that's how it is, I'm scared. Nodding kindly, Tan Suya said slowly while eating, "What are you afraid of? I see that you have been using eye drops, is there any disease in your eyes? Are you afraid of blindness?"
"I'm really impressed with your observation and judgment," Marisa sighed ...... nodding, "I've been having nightmares about what would happen if I went blind. I feel so scared...... It's a dark world, and I don't know how to live at all. β
What's more, my situation in the future is still very dangerous. Swallowing the words, Marisa lowered her head and looked at the rice on the plate, feeling a little unappetizing. The grogginess of her brain caused by lack of sleep also made her want to dive headlong into the meal. However, at this time, a sentence said by Tan Suya on the other side caught her attention: "...... Kid, there are some things in life that aren't so scary. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try for yourself. Pretend to be blind to live for a while...... Anyway, we don't have much to do during the journey. β
"Let's give it a try?"
This way of thinking made Marisa a little stunned. However, if you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case: I have always feared that blindness will become a reality, and I have been running away from it, and it seems that I have always been hiding in the light and decadent, and I have never thought of taking the initiative to face it......
This is not right. This is certainly not right. Can't escape, this is the most important thing that Xiaowei taught himself. If I can only escape, how can I let the three of them unite again? I am so stupid that I can't even figure out such a simple thing...... Moreover, it is so easy to untie the knot......
"Ah, I knew you weren't the kind of person who would die on the horns. With a little bit of a nudge, you'll be able to figure it out for yourself in no time. Seeing Marisa's expression brighten, Tan Suya smiled, "That's the truth for everything." You've already planned what you're going to do next, right?"
ββ¦β¦ Thank you!"
"Ouch, eat slowly, beware of choking...... There's no need to be in such a hurry to practice, anyway, we still have some days to come. Looking at Marisa, who seemed to have a head of energy all of a sudden, and immediately began to eat in large gulps, Tan Suya smiled and shook her head, "This should be what a young man looks like, a little energetic...... If there's anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate to ask. Anyway, I don't have much to do here, and helping you solve your troubles is also a virtue. β
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
If you want to change others, you must first change yourself. My own distress is actually very insignificant. Nodding in conviction, Marisa felt as if she had regained her confidence. β¦β¦ Let's start by sleeping. Get a night's sleep blindfolded, then welcome the awakening of consciousness in the dark. At the very least, try to do what you can...... Rather than just passively waiting...... By the way, let Sanae and Reimu help me!
