Aaron looked at the "biological watch" engraved on his wrist, and it was indeed early. When the time set by the biometer reaches the point, it will forcibly secrete pheromones to remind the user. Aaron's raise-raising secretion can cause pain. So after using the bio table, he was never late for a meeting again.

Aaron sighed, tapped the skin, and canceled the time setting. The bio-timing setting is broken like a ripple of water, and the skin is restored to its original appearance: a bio-tattoo logo, a horizontal hourglass. Pfizer-SmithKline Group No. 2 Investigator, Aaron. Salmon.

Aaron buttoned the bottom two buttons of his gray suit. When he touched his chin, he remembered that he had forgotten to shave today. But the speed of the deep space elevator was no longer enough for him to go down and get a razor. An elevator on the same track was rapidly descending from his head. The stairwell Aaron was riding voluntarily gave way to the left side and entered another stairwell track. After avoiding the dense low-rise elevator area, the elevator began to accelerate rapidly. The tranquil twilight of the entire Back Bay and Charles River is unfolded before your eyes. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the deep-space elevator in the middle of the high concrete walls of thousands of buildings, like a dead leaf in a big tree.

Pfizer-SmithKline headquarters, Charles River Estuary.

When the elevator stopped, a soft blue light opened the elevator hood and the barn door.

"Mr. Dahl," Aaron straightened his suit and walked quickly behind the man. Executive Vice President of PfizerSmithKline Group, Dahl. The dark red crystal bricks reflected his appearance. The vertical screen projection demonstrates the evolution of life.

"Mr. Dahl," Aaron called again respectfully.

"Aaron, you're back." The man turned. There was only a layer of short, pale hair on his head, which was still quite mental. They all have dense beards on their chins. In fact, Dahl is of Indian descent as a yellowish caster. All that remained on his face was fortitude and deep deep lines. He was dressed in a wide and pious white robe.

"I went to Monaco," reported the investigator who was sent to North Africa. "Suspicious targets have been ruled out. There was no possibility that he would attack Mr. Pan. But it's not for nothing. In both Casablanca and Gibraltar, I found traces of the Forty-Seven. ”

"Did you recycle him?" Dahl's voice was hoarse and deep, like that of an elder who was not alarmed.

"I'm sorry sir, I still couldn't find them in the end, I'm sorry." Aaron whispered again.

Dahl raised his withered and wrinkled hand from his white robe and said, "It's okay Aaron, Mr. Pan's body is the most important asset of the company. As for the rest, it doesn't matter if you can't find it for a while. Dahl didn't have much hope, and his eyes were filled with indescribable pessimism and surprisingly calm.

He walked barefoot to the black couch. The mechanical curtain of the giant screen opens automatically. Aaron couldn't help but look up. Behind the curtain is a refrigerated water tank filled with liquid oxygen and tissue fluid. There are three transfer pipes connected to the top of the tank. The special tempered glass cover is still stamped with the horizontal hourglass logo. From the visible glass cover of the water tank, Aaron saw the "property" inside, about forty years younger, Greenpan. "He" sleeps with his eyes closed in a nutrient liquid, like a man who has never appeared in centuries.

Aaron resisted the surprise in his heart. With Pfizer-SmithKline's technology, it is not impossible to give a person a short time to regain their youth at all costs. But to be able to turn a sleeping vegetative person, and even the soon-to-be-dying Mr. President himself, Aaron knows that even as Investigator No. 2, he still doesn't have the authority to know more secrets.

"The only good news I've heard these days is that Investigator No. 3 has made progress in his investigation in China. She has found traces of the executor. ”

"You mean, Wen Ying has already found the person who attacked Mr. Pan?!"

"That's why I want you to go to the other side of the world too. Big events are going to happen there. Dahl sat down with his robe raised.

"Yes, Mr. Dahl, I will find Wen Ying and help her."

"You don't have to help her." Dahl said as he clasped his hands.

Aaron was puzzled when the safety alert for the elevator arrived. The security equipment in the elevator autonomously disarms and identifies the passengers. Aaron was stunned when he responded. The real-time light and shadow projection of the elevator control panel made him nervous. "Case ....." Just by seeing the bone density parameter that was different from ordinary people, Aaron already recognized the man who was about to come in. Investigator Zero, Keith Roger.

The elevator cover opened safely, and a tall man in a green leather coat walked in. He looked at Aaron indifferently with a blank expression, and nodded symbolically and friendly. The iconic American GI head shape, Keith also wears a silver and white soldier badge from the U.S. Army on his chest.

"You don't need to help Wen Ying, and you don't need to." Dahl put his arm on Aaron's shoulder. "You can go and spy on Investigator Three. But it's also insignificant. Your mission has nothing to do with her, your only purpose is to make sure that the Phoenix Bird plan goes ahead. It's all about protecting company property. Once lost, no one can afford to take this responsibility. Now that the Phoenix Bird Project has been launched, it can no longer be corrected, and you all understand how dangerous it is; Zero, Two, I want you all to go to Danyun City to let the Phoenix Bird Project be successfully completed. ”

"Phoenix Bird?!" Aaron swallowed and glanced at Keith. The tall Zero remained expressionless, his lips closed in silence.
