ZHAO CELADON INSERTED A HANDFUL OF ROSES IN A VASE ON THE WALL AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE BLUE AND WHITE CHING.

Ye Feiyang saw the roses on the wall and understood that this was a signal to prohibit contact.

As soon as Ye Feiyang arrived in the United States, he found that he was being followed, are Americans suspicious of every Chinese? Isn't that a ridiculous thing to do? If not, what did the Americans find out about him? Impossible. How could he be suspected of being a person who didn't have any files in the organization? Then there is a possibility that this renegade is still hidden in the organization, and if this inference is true, what a terrible thing it is?

On the highway in Manhattan, Ye Feiyang drove a car and listened to music.

This song is "500miles" released by HedyWest in 61 years.

IfyoumissthetrainI'mon

(If you missed the train I was on)

YouwillknowthatIamgone

(You should understand that I have left)

Youcanhearthewhistleblowahundredmiles

(You can hear the whistle coming from a hundred miles away)

Ahundredmiles,ahundredmiles••••••

(100 miles, 100 miles)

Ahundredmiles,ahundredmiles••••••

(100 miles, 100 miles)

••••••

This is a sad song, even without this sad music, Ye Feiyang still feels inexplicably lonely. New York's neighborhoods can't be overstated to describe its liveliness, but Ye Feiyang feels that all this has nothing to do with him. He has a mission, and the problem it wants to solve is a difficult problem related to the safety of the country, Bai Qiulu said to him, "If you can't complete the task, you don't have to come back", which sounds like a joke, but he understands the weight of this sentence.

The sky of New York is similar to the sky of Beijing, and the sunshine of New York is no different from the sunshine of Beijing, but Ye Feiyang feels that he does not belong to this noisy world at all, and the so-called loneliness has nothing to do with the hustle and bustle, it is because the heart has no belonging, so he is lonely. If you really can't complete the task, then you will find a reason to return to Beijing. In fact, this is not important, the important thing is that if the task is not completed, then the ongoing crisis may further expand, the country will pay losses because of the expansion of the crisis, and there will be people who will pay the price, even death and sacrifice because of the expansion of the crisis.

Ye Feiyang has never felt so close and real to the empty concept of the country and himself, so direct. The world seems to be so harmonious and peaceful, but behind this harmony and peace, there are actually too many people who are sacrificing, or are being sacrificed, and he is the one who is preparing to sacrifice. As a doctor, Ye Feiyang never wanted to be a hero, he was just a reader, and he never thought that he would have a relationship with a gun. Now he suddenly understands that the road he is taking today is destined to be a heroic road, and there is no way back.

Yesterday at the gate of Russell Castle, Ye Feiyang had just arrived by car and was about to get out of the car, Ye Feiyang found that he had been followed, Ye Feiyang saw Zhao Celadon who fell to the ground, and clearly heard the conversation between Zhao Celadon and the Chinese man, "Zhao Celadon said: Yes, he turned a few pages of the book and said: Can you tell me the meaning of this poem?" The man with a Chinese face said while looking at it: "Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king", this, this, to be honest: I really can't answer, I am a science student, and I haven't read Tang and Song poems since I was a child, which disappointed you. Zhao Celadon said meaningfully: I am really a little disappointed. Ye Feiyang intuitively felt a kind of danger, if he went to see Zhao Celadon at this time, it might bring danger, so Ye Feiyang temporarily changed his mind, started the car, and quickly left Russell Castle, Ye Feiyang found that the Lincoln black sedan that was following him had been following his car unhurriedly.

Ye Feiyang wandered around the streets of New York aimlessly, but his mind was quickly thinking about the reason why he was being followed, only two people knew about this operation, one was Tang Weidong and the other was Bai Qiulu, but no third person knew, if there was, it was himself. How can it be tracked? Whether it's the CIA or the FBI, they can't be full and have nothing to do, and track every Chinese, right? This inference suggests that you may have revealed your identity. It's impossible, if it's possible, it's Tang Weidong and Bai Qiulu who are tip-offs to the United States, impossible? Tang Weidong can't be, then there is only one Bai Qiulu left, and Bai Qiulu can't do it, and there is one more person in the know, that is, himself. It's really a ridiculous thing, Ye Feiyang began to suspect Bai Qiulu, Bai Qiulu has this possibility, didn't she say that it was her man who killed? If Bai Qiulu is really the one who set up the game, then hasn't he become cannon fodder? Ye Feiyang quickly vetoed his own idea, Bai Qiulu would not be that kind of person. But if he can't go back to China, then Bai Qiulu may not be able to explain the problem because he can't go back, if this analysis is valid, then the person who set up the bureau is really not targeting him Ye Feiyang, but Bai Qiulu. If Bai Qiulu is not the one who set up the game, then Bai Qiulu, like herself, is a dead chess piece in a huge conspiracy. Ye Feiyang felt fear, a kind of fear that I don't know, the real fear is that you don't know where the danger comes from, you can't judge what kind of danger it is, if a person really faces death, on the contrary, he becomes calm, because he already knows the result, what else is there to be afraid of? What is terrible is to wait for death, not knowing at what point in time it will come. This torment does not burn your body, but burns your soul. Ye Feiyang felt like a trapped beast at this time. It's like being embattled, but you don't know which direction the danger is coming from. You know it's a conspiracy, but you don't know what kind of conspiracy it is, but you're pushed by the designer of the conspiracy, telling you to go whatever you want, the designer of the conspiracy is smiling behind your back, but you follow the route of the conspiracy designer step by step towards the abyss that has been designed a long time ago. Ye Feiyang felt that his vest was already soaked with cold sweat. This profession is really not a suitable profession for scholars.

Ye Feiyang passed by Zhao Celadon more than once at the door of the blue and white ching, and the flowers in the vase on the wall have always been roses. This no-contact signal has still not been lifted.

Banning contact is the cancellation of the mission, and in fact it is also a way to cut off the danger, to prohibit the spread of the danger, in other words, to self-destruct the device, to achieve risk control at the expense of oneself. Did the other party see the danger or was they already in danger? Ye Feiyang didn't know. When passing by the door of Qinghua CHING and seeing that it was still open normally, Ye Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief, but the signal prohibiting contact was not canceled, and Ye Feiyang must not approach, this is discipline.

Ye Feiyang sat down at a small café not far from the Qinghua Ching store and asked for a cup of coffee, and Ye Feiyang was judging whether he was still being followed.

Sitting in the café drinking coffee, Ye Feiyang remembered his first contact with Bai Qiulu.

After Ye Feiyang completed his doctoral studies, he received an invitation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, inviting him to work in the Galileo Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on favorable terms, and he could immigrate to the United States. Ye Feiyang was invited because of his doctoral dissertation, "On the Feasibility of Space Carriers from the Perspective of Physics", which was published in the German journal Natural Science and aroused speculation about future wars. On the day he received an invitation from the United States, Ye Feiyang was invited to a small café in front of Tsinghua University.

Bai Qiulu's secretary introduced to Ye Feiyang: This is Major General Bai Qiulu.

After Ye Feiyang read Bai Qiulu's documents, he said: Did I do something wrong that harmed the country?

Bai Qiulu said: On the contrary, you have done something beneficial to our country. We hope you'll join us in our work.

Ye Feiyang said: Impossible. I'm not fit to work in a department like yours. Besides: you don't need my research. I've accepted an offer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and I don't want to do anything backtracking.

Bai Qiulu said: It was precisely because I knew that you accepted the invitation that I rushed to stop you.

Ye Feiyang said: It's too late, I said, I can't do anything backtracking.

Bai Qiulu said: That's it, I'll tell you a story, after you listen to it, you can't change your decision, we respect your choice. Mr. Gu Mo, a Chinese scientist, was imprisoned as a spy by the United States for many years, and later, through the efforts of the state, the United States promised to let Mr. Gu Mo return to China, but sent FBI personnel to kill Mr. Gu Mo on the high seas, in order to stop the murder, we can only use our bodies to resist the bullets of the FBI killers. It is because of Mr. Gu Mo's return to China that the time for our country to have nuclear weapons has been shortened, if it weren't for the fact that we had nuclear weapons before the Soviet Union's nuclear strike plan, then, to be honest, I don't know how history would be written, in other words: it is difficult to say whether Dr. Ye Feiyang can safely finish your PhD in college. Dr. Yip, the concept of the state seems to be an empty concept, but it actually concerns each and every one of us. I don't want to talk to Mr. Ye about such big things as "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", to say utilitarian, you are a person cultivated by our country, when our country and nation need you, please consider staying, this request should not be excessive. If the value of a person's existence is worthy of our physical resistance to the bullets fired at him, I think that such values have transcended the concepts of ambition and ideals, and are related to the nation and the nation. Whether you go or stay, of course, depends on your own decision, Dr. Ye. If Dr. Ye decides to go to the United States, I will see Dr. Ye off, and if Dr. Ye decides to stay, I am willing to block the bullet for you. Okay, that's all for today.

When Bai Qiulu left, she left a phone and said: After Dr. Ye decided, call me directly.

The next day, Ye Feiyang called Bai Qiulu and said: General Bai, I am willing to stay.

Bai Qiulu said: Welcome, I know you have made this decision.

Ye Feiyang said: Why?

Bai Qiulu said: The family and the country are the feelings of every man. Loyalty to the country, death is not a pity, this belief is beyond any utilitarianism, or rather: this is the supreme utilitarian: so I know you will choose so.

Ye Feiyang was stunned with the phone, thinking, this woman can really see through people's hearts.

Desert base.

On that day, Ye Feiyang ran with bullets

Ye Feiyang has completed many skills that the army, navy and air force need to master, such as the use of firearms, including the use of domestic firearms standards and firearms standards in Western countries, such as naval diving, such as aircraft piloting, etc., in fact, during this time, Ye Feiyang completed the training is the sum of the training courses of the army special forces, naval special forces and air force special forces. But Ye Feiyang's physical training still couldn't meet the standard.

Bai Qiulu's training for Ye Feiyang on this day was still physical training, wilderness survival training, bringing 3 days of food to survive in the wild for 7 days, marching more than 1,000 kilometers, and carrying guns, ammunition and survival supplies.

Bai Qiulu's jeep followed behind, and Ye Feiyang ran in front. From the morning to noon, Ye Feiyang sat on the ground and gasped and said: Don't run, don't run, I'll give up.

Bai Qiulu stepped out of the jeep and said to Ye Feiyang: Get up and continue.

Ye Feiyang said: Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, and if you have the ability, run with me.

Bai Qiulu said: Okay, stand up, I'll run with you.

Ye Feiyang said: Don't force me, let me take a breath, let me take a breath, okay?

Bai Qiulu said: What is the vocation of a soldier?

Ye Feiyang said: Obey.

Bai Qiulu said: Have you obeyed? Do bullets give you a breather?

Ye Feiyang said: People have limits, and I have reached the limit.

Bai Qiulu said: Could it be that other people's limits are very different from yours? Why can others do it, but you can't?

Ye Feiyang said: People are different?

Bai Qiulu said: I allow you to give up, you can leave.

Ye Feiyang said: I won't give up, but you have to give me some time.

Bai Qiulu said: No. If you don't give up, get up immediately, and you will have to carry out such exercises as breaking out, counter-breaking out, reconnoitring the enemy, and climbing cliffs. You tell me the conditions? When you are on your own mission, do you negotiate terms with the enemy and let them let you go? You're not a doctor now, you're a soldier, you're a soldier first, and then a doctor.

The sun at noon was as bright as fire, Ye Feiyang's clothes were soaked with sweat, and the salt in the sweat turned into white crystals in the sun.

Bai Qiulu said to Ye Feiyang: The following stage is the actual combat breakthrough, the bullet is behind you, if you can't outrun the bullet, what awaits you is only death, if you die, you can be posthumously recognized as a martyr, although you haven't completed any mission, but then your run is a mission, start now.

Ye Feiyang ran into the fire-like sunlight, the machine gun on the jeep began to chase him, the bullet flew in the heel, Ye Feiyang felt the chase of death, and ran desperately, but the flying bullet seemed to deliberately force him to run at speed, Ye Feiyang felt that he had become the wind under the pressure of the bullet.

Ye Feiyang shouted wildly in the wind and said, "General Bai, you are a devil-------

The corner of Bai Qiulu's mouth in the jeep showed a mysterious smile, and said: Yes, I just want to turn you into a "devil", otherwise you will not be able to defeat the devil.

Desert Base Classroom.

Bai Qiulu said: Ye Feiyang, can you tell you your understanding of special work?

Ye Feiyang said: Work for the country.

Bai Qiulu said: You can't say this wrong, but it's too big. In today's world, the development of science and technology seems to make the world more and more transparent, for example, the use of science and technology can listen to the president's private phone calls or private privacy, large magnification of telescopes and radars can detect deep space, big data analysis can lock the location of nuclear weapons or the location of a certain person, so what is the value of the existence of special work? In the face of science, the world seems to be getting simpler and simpler, and it is easier and easier to reveal the truth, but in fact, on the contrary, in the face of science and technology, the world is becoming more and more complicated, and the more the truth cannot be seen. It is precisely because of the avant-garde nature of scientific and technological means that it is easier to create illusions and deception, and it is easier for us to take lies as truth. The original meaning of special work is only five words, loyalty and faith.

Bai Qiulu said: As an agent, the first thing is to hide, and no one knows and believes in the special work you are engaged in until you die. Because the work you have to do is special work, and you can't even do it in hiding, you can't talk about the so-called task. The second is also hiding, only by hiding well, you can survive, if you can survive, you can't do it, and the so-called task is impossible to talk about. Again, it is still hidden, if it can't be hidden, the so-called loyalty is impossible. It can be said that the life of a special worker is born for loyalty, but loyalty is conditional, and in the face of high-tech means and torture, no one can be loyal, or very few people can do it, because as far as human nature is concerned, all people who are flesh are powerless or ineffective in the face of high-tech means and torture. So at this time, the best option is to die. Because you are alive, neither the enemy nor the enemy will believe you, you are the insider, you are the secret, whether you stick to it or betray it, no one will believe it. You haven't reneged, your organization won't believe you, you've told the enemy what you know, the enemy still won't believe you, and the result will still kill you. Therefore, whether it is out of secrecy or loyalty, the choice of death before falling into the enemy is the best option. So, it's not a career, it's not a job, it's a mission and a belief.

Choosing this job is equivalent to marrying the state. At this time, what medals and honors? What heroic and sublime? You don't care anymore, you care about which direction history will go in front of you. For example, in 1969 the Soviet Union was preparing a nuclear strike on our country with a surgical operation, and if war had happened, what would have been the result? In order to protect the secret envoy of the Soviet Union and the United States, our agents used their own body as a shield for the secret envoy, and in order to protect the safety of the secret envoy, it was an honor to shoot the bullets of the "KGB" sniper into their own body. Who would want to die if it weren't for mission and faith? Death as an honor? So, I want you to live longer than anyone else, because you don't know how you die. Don't know where you died? Loyalty is boneless. Nothing will be written on your tombstone. But you change history, or rather: history changes because of you. Of course, because of this, your life becomes worthwhile. In 1969, for example, if you had seen Soviet nuclear weapons fall on the land of China like leaves, I think you would not have had the courage to live even if you had not died under the bullets of Soviet KGB agents.

Someone asked, saying: Instructor Bai, did you participate in that operation?

Bai Qiulu said: This, this is not important.

Someone asked again, saying, "Instructor Bai, I heard that you participated in escorting several Chinese scientists back to China, is that true?"

Bai Qiulu said: This, this is a state secret, and your questioning violates the "Secrecy Regulations", so that's all for today's lesson. Class.

Ye Feiyang's daily training includes the content of the army special forces, the air force special forces, and the marines. Ye Feiyang was carrying a 30-kilogram cross-country march training on this day, Bai Qiulu sat in a jeep and followed behind, Ye Feiyang said: General Bai, you don't talk much, I am only suitable for research.

Bai Qiulu said: There are only instructors here, no generals. What is the vocation of a soldier?

Ye Feiyang said: Obey. But if I keep running like this, I'll die.

Bai Qiulu said: If you run like this, not to die, but to live.

Ye Feiyang sat in a café in New York, and he didn't believe that Bai Qiulu would be a possible apostate, but he didn't know much about Tang Weidong, but as far as knowledge was concerned, both of them had the premise of being suspected. Ye Feiyang even suspected that Tang Weidong and people of Wangxi's level could be apostates, so why didn't Tang Weidong have this possibility? What kind of bearing and courage does it take for him to dare to sit in a plane piloted by a novice, to dare to let a novice carry out an impossible mission, such a person may be the architect of a grand conspiracy, and what a terrible thing it would be if suspicion was possible. If Tang Weidong and Bai Qiulu are excluded, then the designer of the conspiracy is also a person of the same level as them. The more Ye Feiyang thought about it, the more confused he became, and he felt that he had lost his judgment on things. So, keep saying to yourself to be calm, calm down. Ye Feiyang felt that he didn't feel a little like a soldier. Although I had the courage, I really didn't have any confidence in this mission, and I began to doubt that I was not suitable for this mission at all. The roses in the vase on the wall at the entrance of the blue and white CHING are still in full bloom, and the no-contact signal has not been canceled. Ye Feiyang didn't even know what he should do next. Think of the agents in those movies who are the embodiment of intelligence, and they are no different from an idiot.
