Chapter 58: The Zodiac

At this time, the large circular conference hall of the Anti-Crossing Investigation Bureau was already filled with agents from various departments.

Zhao Liang followed Tu Sihai to squeeze through a row of seats, and finally came to the position of the pre-Qin place. Zheng Luya, who had been waiting there, saw Zhao Liang and waved her hand excitedly, with a smile on her face. Zhao Liang also smiled and nodded with her, and quickly sat down next to her: "Huh? What about the fourth brother? Running late? ”

Zheng Luya pouted helplessly: "Don't mention it, that unlucky guy is a long story, I'll tell you after the meeting." How are you, have you suffered a lot? ”

"It's okay, except for being a little depressed in a small dark room, everything else is fine." Zhao Liang agreed, his eyes quickly swept over the places in the round large conference hall. In that circle of seats, Zhao Liang saw many familiar faces: Sun Xianglong, the chief of the intelligence section with gold-rimmed glasses and a polite manner; Meng Lianjiang, the section chief of the Qing Dynasty with five big and three rough and resolute faces; Li Miao, who questioned him a month ago, sat in the front row of the Qing Dynasty in a smart suit.

I don't know why, in the entire hall, the atmosphere over there was the most heavy and depressing, and Li Miao and Meng Lianjiang's faces seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

With a question mark in his heart, Zhao Liang continued to turn his gaze to the circular conference table located in the middle of the hall. This round table, surrounded by a circle of stepped seats around it, is the seat of the leaders of the bureau. Zhao Liang recognized Guan Lin, the deputy director, Professor Luo, the general adviser of science and technology, and his good buddy, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Coincidentally, at this time, Teacher Zhu also turned his head to Zhao Liang and winked at him with a smile.

I'll go, this chubby guy, is it really the emperor who has traveled to modern times? Zhao Liang muttered to himself in his heart: When I go back, I must ask Director Tu to see if he knows about it. Otherwise, if you are really played by Zhu Fatzi, it will be too embarrassing.

An electronic whistle suddenly sounded from the sound of the speaker in the ——, venue, and everyone looked at the huge four-sided electronic screen at the top of the venue, which displayed the time: 10 o'clock.

Immediately after, a slightly magnetic woman's voice sounded: "It's time, now for the meeting." ”

Zhao Liang followed the prestige, and saw that at the central round table, a handsome middle-aged woman was speaking into the microphone, and Guan Lin and other deputy directors and general advisers were sitting on their knees, quietly watching her.

"Is she Director Zhang?" Zhao Liang asked Zheng Luya in a low voice. Xiao Ya nodded slightly, and made another boo gesture.

I only heard Director Zhang Mo continue to speak: "The reason why we convened a meeting of all operations offices today is because there is a sudden emergency that we need to deal with immediately. Just the night before, when the Qing Dynasty was on a routine mission, an accident occurred. ”

Accidentally? This word immediately caused a slight discussion in the audience.

Director Zhang Mo glanced at the audience and said in a deep voice: "The agent in charge of the mission did not appear in the preset dynasty and preset location according to the predetermined plan. In other words, he's missing. ”

A soft cry rang out all over the venue at the same time, and people had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Deputy Director Guan Lin reprimanded into the microphone: "Quiet! Listen to the Director's speech. ”

"So far, we haven't been able to get in touch with the agent, and it's been more than 36 hours since the kite broke its string." Director Zhang Mo continued: "As for why this situation happened, is it a technical failure? Or sabotage? Or is it the agent's defection? Now we don't know. However, colleagues from the Intelligence Center and experts from the Academy of Sciences are still working intensively to gradually analyze and investigate the causes, and I am sure that a conclusion will be found soon. ”

Zhang Mo paused slightly, not knowing if she was sorting out her thoughts, and then she said: "The first task at the moment is to find the whereabouts of the missing agent as soon as possible and bring him back." According to the reckoning model given by the Academy of Sciences, the brain-burning computer has locked the twelve most likely historical nodes after playing with fate, and there is a great probability that the missing agents will appear in these places. And these 12 nodes almost involve the jurisdiction of the various operational divisions of the entire Anti-Penetration Bureau. Therefore, the leaders of the bureau decided to study and decide, the overall mobilization, and all places immediately dispatched elite personnel to the corresponding dynasty according to the nodes to find the missing agents! ”

Guan Lin looked at his watch, and continued: "The teleportation center has been fully activated, and everything is ready. You will receive the relevant materials from each of your operational offices, go back to assign tasks, and set off on time after 30 minutes. ”

Director Zhang Mo bowed his head slightly, and said loudly: "I announce, the code name of the operation, the Golden Zodiac, will begin to be executed!" ”

Zhao Liang followed Director Tu and Xiaoya, hurriedly returned to the office, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did the fourth brother go?" Why wasn't he called for such an important action? ”

Director Tu quickly flipped through the operation materials and pointed at Zheng Luya: "You ask her." ”

Zhao Liang turned his gaze to Xiaoya, only to hear her say: "Wang Xiaosi's Lang goods, not to mention how decrepit it is." I went to a bar the night before yesterday and hooked up with a drinking girl. Unexpectedly, the woman was already famous, and the man caught Wang Xiaosi on the spot, so he had to teach him a lesson. ”

"Teach Wang Xiaosi a lesson?" Zhao Liang was puzzled: "Anyway, the fourth brother is also a well-trained agent, can he still be cleaned up by others?" ”

Zheng Luya snorted coldly: "He is really skilled, and it didn't take three or two strokes to knock down all five of the other party." But I never expected that the boyfriend who accompanied the drinking girl was the big brother of the underworld, and in a blink of an eye, more than 100 people shouted and beat Wang Xiaosi around. At the critical moment, the guy was smart and pressed the alarm on the bracelet in time. After receiving the signal, the special service detachment of the headquarters dispatched an assault team according to the positioning, which saved his life. But ......"

"But what?"

"Wang Xiaosi is now like a mummy, covered in bandages, and is holding up his corpse in the hospital ward." Zheng Luya replied angrily.

Zhao Liangxin said: I went, I was besieged by more than 100 strong men, and I didn't die yet, and my fourth brother is indeed amazing.

Tu Sihai interrupted their small talk and ordered, "Okay, okay, don't mention that Lang goods." Without him, we would have done the job. I just looked at the information, and among the twelve nodes, the historical node numbered Aquarius Star House is exactly within our jurisdiction, so it has to be arranged immediately. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liang hurriedly checked the information in his hand and found that it was written: Code name - Aquarius Star Palace, node - 211 BC, area - Xianyang Royal Court, target - none, suspicious person - none, others - none.

"My God, there is only time and place, and the rest is nothing?" Zhao Liang said in surprise.

Zheng Luya also protested: "Yes, what the hell! At least give us a brief introduction to the missing agent, and whose name is it? What is the background? Soul through flesh? ”

Tu Sihai patiently explained: "As mentioned above, the situation of this agent is highly confidential, so it can only be briefly introduced orally by the directors of each department, and no text can be left. He paused, and then said: "Don't ask the agent's name, his code name is Meteor, the male drop, and he is on a meat piercing mission, as for the level...... Class X. ”

As soon as she heard about "X-level", Zheng Luya's face changed suddenly, and she was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Liang was a little confused, so he asked, "What does X-level mean?" ”

Tu Sihai didn't speak, he glanced at Zheng Luya and motioned for her to answer. Zheng Luya sighed and said, "All the agents registered in the headquarters will be comprehensively rated according to their experience, combat power, IQ and merit. From low to high, it is C, B, A, S, and the highest is X. ”

Zhao Liang blinked, turned his head and asked Tu Sihai: "Then you belong to ......"

"Me...... I'm S-class. ”

"You're an S-Class?" Zhao Liang was surprised: "That missing agent is higher than your level?" ”

Tu Sihai subconsciously rubbed his temples and said, "Yes." This level is a comprehensive assessment, and points can be added to ability, merit, and even qualifications. So if that guy didn't get to the X level by his qualifications, then it means that he is very powerful and very scary. ”

Zhao Liang stuck out his tongue and asked Zheng Luya again: "Xiaoya, what level are you?" ”

"I'm in the middle of the pack among the agents of the same period, B-class."

"What about me?" Zhao Liang was a little curious.

"You...... No level. Tu Sihai said with a smile: "It has not yet reached the level of evaluation level." ”

I'll go, it turns out that I'm not in the stream yet! Zhao Liang slapped his head in frustration, feeling that the agent career was not fun at all, and wanted to change jobs.

Tu Sihai comforted: "Oh, it's okay, you've only been working for a long time, and you always have to go through this process." Oh yes, time is pressing, let's hurry up and assign tasks. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the information and analyzed: "This agent, whether he defects or loses contact, in short, he has fallen into the vast sea of time and space tunnel." Looking for him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So that's the first difficulty of the task. And then the second difficulty? It's just that it's hard to judge his true intentions. It's okay to say that if you deliberately defect, then it will be very difficult to deal with. Judging by his rank, ten or eight of us used to be given away for nothing. I've talked to the chiefs of several divisions, and they don't recommend sending flesh-piercing personnel, because they may be recognized by him. You know, anyone who has been photographed here is likely to be remembered by him. ”

Zheng Luya glanced at Zhao Liang, which meant: It's you again this time.

Zhao Liang was also in a cold sweat, and stammered: "You didn't say much just now, the other party is an X, and I don't even have a level, didn't I give away people's heads for nothing in the past......"

"That's why I'm analyzing the main points of the mission," Tu Sipi said with a smirk smile: "In this operation, we are just reconnoitring and searching, once we find a missing agent, we must not act rashly, and immediately contact the headquarters to send reinforcements." This kind of work can only be done by masters. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Liang was a little relieved, and said helplessly: "Director, you give an order." ”

Tu Sihai nodded happily: "Oh, it's so good." Xiao Zhao, to be honest, I don't want you to take this risk. But Wang Xiaosi had an accident, and Xiaoya couldn't wear it, so she had to work hard for you again. What's more, sending you to action is also the general personally ordered by the director. ”

"Director? The Director personally ordered me to go? ”

"yes, I can't lie to you." Tu Sihai said: "Zhang Ju said, give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, otherwise how can the committee easily agree to release people?" ”

Zhao Liang suddenly realized when he heard this. He guessed that most of this was because Mr. Zhu had done the work with the director, so that there would be a bridge where he personally ordered the generals and made meritorious contributions.

Since this is the case, he no longer hesitated, got up and said, "I understand, I promise to complete the task." ”

Hundreds of agents lined up in the passageway, waiting for space-time teleportation. These people are all members of the implementation of the "Golden Zodiac House" plan. Some powerful operations units sent more than a dozen agents to find the missing agents at once, so the scale far exceeded expectations. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the missing agent was their person, so naturally it was even more obligatory and almost rushed out.

Zhao Liang was standing in the middle of the team at this time, and as the only representative of the pre-Qin department, he seemed extremely lonely. Someone behind him was muttering, "It seems that the Aquarius Star Palace is going to be blind this time." ”

Zhao Liang didn't have time to deal with the ridicule behind him, and his mind was trying to remember how to use various equipment. The last time Ma Jianguo was arrested, the unpopular Xianqin Department could only use a bunch of outdated equipment, which harmed him and Wang Xiaosi. A long time has passed, and the chips implanted in the body have gradually failed and decomposed.

This time it's different. The "Golden Twelve Star Palace" operation was uniformly deployed by the entire anti-penetration bureau, and it was listed as the number one major case by the director, so the equipment problem no longer bothered Zhao Liang. The four basic equipment chips have all been replaced with the latest fifth-generation products, which are more convenient to use and more powerful. In addition to this, there is a new guy - a microcomputing processor. This thing is equivalent to a computer, directly connected to the consciousness of the agent, whether it is to perform complex calculations and analysis, or to access various documents, it can be completed in the blink of an eye.

With these technical supports, coupled with Zhao Liang's mastery of mind reading, it is definitely like a tiger with wings. Therefore, Zhao Liang no longer wanted to tremble like just now, but instead gave birth to a feeling of eagerness to try.

"Number 82!"

"Here!" Zhao Liang heard his number being shouted inside, and hurriedly responded loudly.

"Aquarius House, Stand 6, please prepare." The operator commanded in a cold tone.

Zhao Liang hurriedly ran towards the No. 6 crossing machine, and with the help of the staff, quickly sat down in his position and fastened his seat belt. But just as the staff was about to close the hatch, Zhao Liang suddenly heard something, stopped the other party with a roar, and then got out of the crossing machine.

"Wait a minute, there's an important situation to report, come right away, come right away!" He ran through the preparation area in a panic, came to the lounge next to the command hall, and found Zheng Luya who was there.

"How did you get out? What's the situation? Zheng Luya looked surprised.

Zhao Liang gasped breathlessly and said, "Xiaoya, let me tell you." If you're going to go there later, don't answer me, and remember to bring a pack of sanitary napkins. ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that if I am thrown on a woman again!"
