Fang Chi woke up to the faint sound of rain. Next to the pillow was the window, the height of the bed that she had specially configured for this window. The window was ajar, and the screen window blew in the rain and mist, making my face cold.

She looked out the window, the gray clouds pressed down very low, the skyscrapers were all misty, and the whole swallow market was lost in the seemingly boundless rain. Fang Chi suddenly had the illusion that this was like the world inside Maandala, not the real thing.

Looking back, there was a man lying on the edge of the bed.

The slender and handsome figure makes her bed look a little cramped. He was also dressed neatly, and his shirt was buttoned down to the second of his neckline. He fell asleep on the side of Fang Chi's quilt, the atom computer rested on him, and in the black screen, a green progress bar had come to an end and was about to end.

She knew that Xie Wei was here.

In the past two days after watching the ice crack, Xie Weishi's treatment plan for her was to sleep. However, listening to relaxing and soothing music, she is still prone to insomnia or nightmares. Her sleep monitor showed that her sleep was completely fragmented, interrupted every ten or twenty minutes.

There were a few times when she was too badly hosted, and Xie Weishi came over to appease her.

"The tone is so tight, I don't even say a word in my dreams." Fang Chi still remembered that Xie Weishi sat on the edge of her bed, handed her a wet towel to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, and teased her like this.

Don't talk in your dreams when you're asleep, don't talk when you're drunk, don't talk crazy when you're psychedelized, these are all intensive training in the nineteenth bureau. Fortunately, even after she was injured, this basic suzhì was retained.

In the end, there was really no way, Xie Weishi came in with the computer and sat on the edge of her bed. Strange to say, listening to the sound of him tapping on the keyboard, the noisy noise in her ears gradually subsided.

Maybe it's because his keyboard sounds are regular and rhythmic, she thought. She could even tell from the sound of his keyboard that he was thinking, trying, or if he was suddenly breaking through.

She slept for a whole day and two nights, and he worked endlessly for a day and two nights to crack all the ice cracks.

He's a good ...... Raven bar.

Fang Chi went to wash up and put on makeup. The face was delicately made, but it was too oriental, pale and fragile and not imposing enough.

She delicately paints eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, and lip color, making them overshadow the original youthful and immature.

Dressed up, she walked over to Xie Weishi, who was asleep, and plugged a portable hard drive* into his computer. Just after the progress bar was finished, she copied the cracked ice cracking software to the hard drive.

While waiting, she looked at the sleeping Xie Weishi. He was indeed very good-looking, especially with his slender and well-proportioned hands. Whether it's holding a scalpel or tapping on a keyboard, it's pleasing to the eye.

She looked at him with a faint sadness in her heart.

She didn't want to deny her affection for him. She thinks she's a person who longs to be loved after all. Whether it's hoping that he can help her get out of the pain of losing Sheng Yan, or hoping that he can help him complete his unfinished business-

Maybe it's all a high-sounding excuse.

She couldn't do without α inhibitors. She was like a fire that had burned too much in the past, but now it was frozen in ice, and the heat was dissipating little by little.

She can't fall in love with someone else as fiercely as Ai Shengyan does. Her good impression is just a good impression after all, it won't be love.

Just lonely. Just lonely. It's just that he is as helpless as a lost dog.

If she can't give reciprocal love, can she still enjoy the love of others?

That night in the abandoned factory, she shouted "Xie Weishi, take me away", which may be a flash of capture. Her obsession with life has always been so heavy.

She must be a selfish person. Otherwise, on the steps up to the eighth floor that day, if I wanted him to stay, why did I speak out uncontrollably like that?

She didn't want him to know. It's like this, no more advances, no retreats, it's good.

He is an elusive deer. But she would rather he be a flowering tree so she could plant him in a pot on the balcony. Trees are not like deer, trees can't run away.

Her fingers stretched out and were about to fall on Xie Weishi's face, when she saw her fingertips trembling uncontrollably. She suddenly withdrew her hand, took two α inhibitors from her pocket, and swallowed them.

There was a slight "ding" in the computer, and the ice crack was finished. Fang Chi unplugged the hard drive and walked out. Out of the bedroom door, she turned back and covered Xie Weishi with a quilt.

Taking an agate-colored umbrella and changing into pointy high heels, she quietly went out the door.

……

On the edge of the four rings, the Maandala building, like a torch and a scepter, pierced high into the thick clouds.

Passing through the Fourth Ring Road and further north, there is a World Cultural Heritage Site - Summer Palace Ruins Park. It was once a magnificent royal palace built during the heyday of the feudal dynasty. It was later looted and burned to ashes in the war.

On the west side of the park, there is an inconspicuous garden. The architecture of this garden is the same as that of the heritage park, and even the trees and flowers planted are exactly the same. In the eyes of outsiders, this garden is part of the Summer Palace Ruins Park, and only a very small number of young people who are keen on "night raids" (1) the Summer Palace and accidentally try this garden know that this garden and the Summer Palace are not connected at all. Even above the tall walls, there is an invisible barrier, and when approaching the garden, all communication tools such as mobile phones will lose their signal. They privately refer to it as "Bermuda".

No one would have thought that this "Bermuda" is actually where the legendary Cyber Security Bureau is located.

The Cyber Security Bureau, founded in 15 years, represented by Maandala, was the time when virtual reality technology was fully popularized.

According to popular rumors, there were 18 sub-bureaus under the National Security Bureau, each performing its own duties. The Cyber Security Bureau is the nineteenth, so the people call it the "Nineteenth Bureau".

The National Security Bureau is certainly the most mysterious department, but the Cyber Security Bureau was established at a time when the people's wisdom was opened, and it has attracted much attention from the society since its establishment. In today's popularity of Maandala, hackers are consumed by society like entertainment stars, not to mention the Cyber Security Bureau, which gathers many top hackers. Despite the high level of secrecy, the Cyber Security Agency's actions against public cybersecurity continue to attract media attention. Therefore, the Cyber Security Bureau has passively become the least mysterious department of the mysterious National Security Bureau.

Naturally, the National Security Bureau has more than 18 sub-bureaus, but it has been mentioned a lot by various media, and over time, the Cyber Security Bureau itself has accepted the title of "19 Bureaus".

Fang Chi walked into the first door, and inside was a pitch-black corridor. Several circles of green light suddenly lit up, enveloping her from the top of her head to her heels. This was to check that she was not carrying any metals, flammables or explosives.

Four beams of light came out, and she opened her eyes, her wrists facing forward, to be scanned. A qiē is a familiar process, and after the scanning is completed, the door in front of you opens in response.

The Nineteenth Bureau has not yet destroyed her files.

Fang Chi's face was flat, and he didn't look the slightest surprise.

Just as she was able to easily enter Maandala's building at that time, she entered the nineteenth inning, also unimpeded.

Until I entered the depths of the courtyard, I didn't see anyone. But Fang Chi clearly knew how many monitors were placed at what precise angle in every corner.

There is not a single dead end in this garden. Infrared scans are constantly tracking the location of an infrared radiation anomaly. Even if a cockroach crawls into the garden, it will be locked in immediately. A miniature unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that once had a spy tried to fly above the garden to collect information, but as soon as it crossed the high wall, it was immediately captured, and was reversed into a counter-espionage tool, sending back a lot of information to the 19th Bureau.

The core area looks no different from ordinary traditional buildings, with a slick of red lacquered doors closed and no signs on them. Fang Chi walked straight to one of them, pressed his fingerprint, and not long after, the door opened. Fang Chi entered, and behind the wide desk inside, sat a man with a cold and rigid face.

Shi Zhengrong, male, 56 years old, is the current director of the Cyber Security Bureau and a former senior agent of the Intelligence Department of the National Security Bureau. In 15 years, he accepted the order of his superiors and single-handedly established the Cyber Security Bureau.

The sharp gaze pointed at Fang Chi like a sharp sword.

Fang Chi took a deep breath, straightened his body, raised his head, and looked into the air directly in front of him. She exclaimed:

"Fang Chi, a retired police officer of the Cyber Security Bureau, requests to return to the team!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a silenced pistol slid towards her from the glazed tabletop. Somewhere the spotlight suddenly shone brightly, the window opened, and a target was erected in the open field ten meters away, and the bull's-eye was as round as a cake, red as blood.

"Shoot."

The man behind the desk coldly ordered.

Fang Chi picked up the pistol, and the movements of pulling the safety, loading, and aiming were extremely skillful, as if he was born with instinct.

However, she also clearly felt that her strength was not enough.

Although I had taken two α inhibitors before going out, my fingers holding the wall were still shaking. Her gaze couldn't be fully focused, and the red heart never focused.

Beads of sweat the size of beans began to form on her forehead.

"Still stunned what to do! Wait until I teach you how to shoot?! ”

Shi Zhengrong's words are harsh and mean, and his style is no different from his usual style.

Fang Chi gritted her teeth, gathered her gaze fiercely, and her trembling fingers caught the moment when she thought she was aiming, and pulled the trigger-

Eight rings.

She's done her best.

The man behind the table was as cold as a glacier. "A person who can't even aim at a fixed target, the Cyber Security Bureau doesn't need this kind of waste."

Fang Chi was hit hard by the word "waste".

It's a stress test. She admonished herself. This is a stress test that every CSD police officer must face.

"The Cyber Security Bureau hasn't given up on me yet." Fang Chi stubbornly defended. "How else can I explain that I'm still standing here?"

"This is the honor you deserve." Shi Zhengrong said indifferently.

"I don't think it's that simple." Fang Chi looked directly into Shi Zhengrong's eyes without fear, "You arranged for someone to give me plastic surgery." ”

"To give you a new life." Shi Zhengrong said, "Hong Jincheng must have told you that your physical and mental state is no longer competent for the work of the Cyber Security Bureau. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Savchenko, the new head of the K.G.B.B.C.I.A. in January, has a peculiar fetish for pale, thin, sensitive Oriental women."

Shi Zhengrong suddenly fell silent. He smoked a cigar, the airbrush lighter burning the tail evenly and slowly. The rich aroma spread, and he took a deep breath and said:

"Since you know that I have such a purpose, you should not appear in front of my eyes."

Fang Chi's slender eyes shone with an indifferent light.

She understood what Shi Zhengrong meant. Shi Zhengrong still gave her the choice - dedication, or stay away from the Cyber Security Bureau forever, live a peaceful life, and be a mortal.

Nineteen innings haven't given up on her yet.

Shi Zhengrong hasn't given up on her yet.

That little indifferent light gradually became thicker and brighter, and became more and more fanatical.

Shi Zhengrong watched the change in her gaze, but her face became more and more cold.

"It's not a contradiction." Fang Chi said, "I want to come back and investigate the ice crack." ”

"Ice cracking, just let Maandala deal with it." Shi Zhengrong had obviously read the materials reported by Reboot. At present, the ice crack is only spreading among the old city and low-income people, and it is still controllable, and it has not reached the security level of the cyber security bureau, and even the level of intervention of the public security department has not yet reached the level.

"But the history bureau!" Fang Chi said eagerly, "I don't think the matter of ice cracking is so simple, it is very likely that Nerve Rose is making trouble behind it." ”

"What evidence do you have?"

Fang Chi explained his inference to Shi Zhengrong in detail.

Shi Zhengrong tightened his eyebrows and said, "Intuition is not enough to make the final inference. But I will arrange for Hong Jincheng to pay attention to the ice crack. ”

"Can I come back and find out about it?"

"I can't."

Fang Chi was a little discouraged, but heard Shi Zhengrong say again: "After Savchenko took office, many tactical strategies and personnel arrangements of our bureau have to be adjusted, and there are not so many resources to cooperate with you to investigate the ice crack for the time being." ”

Shi Zhengrong has always spoken so bluntly, never beating around the bush.

Fang Chi understood that it was useless to say more, pursed his lips, took out the portable hard drive, and put it on Shi Zhengrong's desk.

"A cracked version of Ice Crack. I'll leave it to Maandala. If we can't find out who started the ice crack, then let Maandala block it completely. ”

After Fang Chi finished speaking firmly, he turned around and retreated.

She heard Shi Zhengrong say behind her back:

"Pay attention to your safety. The sword I built can't be broken before it is used. ”
