Parker looked at Pete and said, "Don't look at me like that." I'll be honest, we don't need to shout slogans. At least that's what I think, we need to be calm and not drive or hard. Parker said and took a deep puff of the cigarette, and after seeing that there was only the butt left, he directly threw it away and renewed it, and after taking a puff, he said, "Face the reality, don't have any illusions." It would be more appropriate for us to make the envisioned situation more difficult. So, if you can't adjust to it, it's better to quit as soon as possible. You don't tell me anything, you can insist. Parker said with a serious and somewhat dismissive look, "It's useless for me to persevere. Maybe it's a good quality in other trades. But the most important thing here is not to make mistakes. The mind is good, and the others ... Huh, insistence? Stick to what? Hold on to the point of driving yourself crazy? . ”

Pete threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Are you too pessimistic?" If so, aren't we all dead men with no return? How many people in the world are willing to do this? ”

"There is no return. Hehe. Parker smiled and said, "What? Looks like you're still thinking about going home a lot? ”

"Don't you want to?" Pete asked rhetorically, "When we were in California not long ago, I felt like you were more homesick than I was. ”

"Of course I want to go home. It's to say no. No one believes it. But that's all that remains to think. Parker sighed as he spoke, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's what we're doing." The more effective you are, the longer you'll be working, because everyone has to take every opportunity. And the longer it stays, the closer you get to the day of bad luck. As he spoke, he looked at Pete and said, "For example, one day you really became a middle and senior manager of Helmet's company." Do you think you'll be able to go back? You're going to be very valuable. Pete, you'll always be that guy named Pete. Until one day you die. Even if you are found out, you are still Pete, you will not let people know who you are, others are more concerned about what you have done as Pete, who is the contact person, what are the goals and companions. Whether you say it or not, they will most likely lock you up for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to go back until the day you die. ”

"So you just said that it's too late to do now. Meaning, I don't have much value, can I quit? Pete asked.

Parker nodded, "That's what it means." But I don't think it's likely to let you go. As he spoke, he looked at Pete and said, "You're doing a good job now." They are happy with your performance, their expectations are getting higher and higher, they can accept failure, but they won't agree to that. ”

Pete wasn't actually trying to quit, he wasn't there yet. In fact, for him, now is the stage when he is most motivated, after all, he has been preparing for all these years, and now he is finally activated, of course, he is doing his best. It's not just a duty, it's the only way to prove your worth and show yourself that all these years of hard work have not been in vain.

It's just that the recent series of battles has really exhausted him, especially the one in the woods. Although the intensity is not actually large, the sense of despair when his companions fall one after another at the last moment, and the opponent still attacks with their lives has a great effect on Pete's psychology. It was precisely because of this, coupled with his physical injuries that he was very depressed and did not have any sense of security, becoming suspicious and manic.

"You said so much, one moment to persuade me and another time to say no, what do you want to say?" Pete asked.

Parker looked a little disappointed and said, "I have to say, you are the stupidest of the people I work with, at least one of them." After saying that, he took a puff of cigarette and continued, "I'll give you time, but maybe not recently." You have to concentrate, don't think about it, don't stay home and eat your junk food and watch TV. Go out and shop more, communicate with people, see familiar people, and get to know a few if you don't. This will help you a little bit here. Parker said, gesturing to his head, sighing slightly, and then saying, "Of course, if you do have a problem. No insistence, just plainly and clearly, first of all, this is not ashamed, this is not only you, me, and the one who has a wife. I've never met anyone with a heart so big that they don't feel it at all. And you are different from us, because you are very special, and your work is more dangerous, which invisibly exacerbates this psychological effect. I understand that, but we're just getting started, and it's important. It's not that you can't do without you, but it certainly can't be with someone who has a problem. So you've been like this, it's better to quit early. Even if you don't want to, I'll ask for it. Don't wait for yourself to hurt others when you can't control yourself. See what I mean? ”

"Understood." Pete nodded and said, "I'm measured." ”

"It's good to know what's important." Parker looked at Pete and said, "I'll say it again, don't tell me anything." It has nothing to do with perseverance, because there is no end to time, and there is no end to this road, so there is no way to persevere. ”

"Okay." Pete answered again and looked at Parker waiting for him. However, Parker seemed to lose interest in continuing to talk, and after sighing, he said, "As I told you before, try to adjust." We'll meet again soon, and don't make me feel worse about you. After speaking, he didn't wait for Pete to respond, and after thinking about it, he looked around and said, "That's it, you go back." I'll have to rush back immediately. Keep the communication open these days, and you may be contacted at any time. With that, he turned and walked away.

Pete glanced at Parker's back, chased after a few quick steps to catch up, and whispered, "Are we officially starting?" ”

Pete's words made Parker stunned, and then he said with some tears and laughter: "Do you think this is acting?" And test shots and real shots? There is no turning back from the beginning of your chosen, and now it's time for you to show your worth. So protect yourself and don't overthink it while staying vigilant. Also, don't ask such retarded questions in the future. Don't always make me think you're the stupidest person I've worked with. ”

At the same time as Pete and they met. Not far from here, in Langley, the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau, in the office of Deputy Director Miller. The one who escaped death from Georgia and was entrusted with a mission by Miller on Lille's recommendation? Eric had just walked into the office and sat down in the chair in front of Miller's desk.

Miller looked a little tired, and he looked like he had just returned from outside. He walked over to his place and looked at Eric and said, "Finally willing to talk to me about something today?" ”
