Chapter 28: Bewilderment
But Annie's identity and status make Eric can only endure Robin dangling in front of his eyes, and hopes that his boss can see the essence of Robin's straw bag as soon as possible.
There was a brief silence in the room, except for the sound of Anne turning the pages of the book, as if she was really reading the contents of the novel.
After a while...... With a coded knock on the door, Robin opened the door and walked in. His expression was very relaxed, and he was still holding a paper bag full of melon seeds with an attractive aroma.
It didn't look like Eric had imagined it at all...... In the face of such a powerful swordsman, it is impossible for Robin's ability not to be discovered. He should have been driven back in a gray manner, but he had a rather rewarding expression.
Don't...... Could it be that he has been hiding his abilities? In fact, his identity is...... The ultimate trump card that Miss deliberately hidden?
Eric feels as if he has discovered Robin's secret...... He overturned the speculation in his heart that Anne had a crush on Robin, which was even more absurd than the most absurd novel, how could the wise Miss Anne leave a useless person in the organization? Robin's previous actions were disguises...... If you want to deceive the enemy, you must deceive even your own people.
This is the true master of disguise, playing the role of a straw bag for several years, in the midst of the most vigilant group in the world without any flaws......
The real super ace agent is always the one who is least looked down against...... They show their fangs only when it matters most.
Eric's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Robin, he looked at the colleague with admiration, and automatically moved in to make way for the "ace" to rest.
Robin sat down, poured all the melon seeds in the paper bag on the table, and said to Anne and Eric with a smile: "Seacombe's sunflowers have the most abundant sunlight and the most suitable climate in the entire empire, and such melon seeds have a unique fragrance and taste after being caramel stir-fried. As a Seacomb, I can smell my hometown with a casual sniff with my nose.
Miss, Eric, you all have a taste...... I'm in for a treat. ”
Eric didn't go to catch the seeds, he looked at Robin...... Waiting for the results of the investigation, he was really very curious about the identity of the woman and her owner.
Anne looked away from the novel, she looked at the charred-sweet melon seeds on the table, and then at Robin, who had already picked up the melon seeds by herself, and asked, "I'll let you go to the last safe house and see who is inside...... What answer are you going to give me? ”
Robin's action of swallowing melon seeds suddenly stopped, with an expression on his face that he was trying to remember, and then said with a panicked face: "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry I forgot about it.
Probably because the smell of my hometown made me distracted. ”
Eric's face changed suddenly, and at this point he really wanted to pull out his gun, and a bullet would crash this disgraceful fellow. Can such an important task be forgotten? At this time of life and death, Miss's life is not as good as a few melon seeds! When it comes to the city of Saloyan, can such a teammate be relied on? Eric felt like he would never get on the train back......
Feeling the volcano about to erupt around him, as well as Miss Anne's complicated eyes, Robin knew that he had messed things up, he quickly stood up and said, "Miss, you give me another chance...... I immediately went to a safe house. I promise I won't be affected by anything else again......"
Then, without waiting for Anne's order, Robin rushed out of the compartment.
Eric touched his forehead helplessly, and for the sake of his own life, he continued to suggest to Anne: "Miss...... I don't know why you think so highly of Robin. If you really ...... Appreciate him, the clerical job at the headquarters is the best job for him. He follows us and only puts us in danger. ”
Anne returned to the novel in her hand, but also responded to Eric's suggestion: "The general office of the city of Saloyan also needs civilian personnel...... I was a bit selfish with Robin, after all, I didn't know if I would come back alive, and I couldn't work all day and night in Marcellus. Although Robin is not qualified as an agent, his ability to choose books is still very strong......"
"Huh?" Eric, who seemed to have discovered some secret, widened his eyes and couldn't believe that Miss Anne could have such a ...... Hobby!
"Ah......h Now that I realize how knowingly I know to bring Robin, I'm already very much looking forward to what he can bring to me. Anne slowly turned the pages, soaking up the story.
"What can he bring? The woman was very strong, and I guess he would be spotted as soon as he got close......"
This time Anne did not answer.
After another moment, with a rhythmic knock on the door, Robin pushed the door open and walked in.
still has a relaxed expression, still holding a paper bag in his hand, and the paper bag still smells of caramel melon seeds.
Eric froze......
Robin was also stunned when he saw the melon seeds sprinkled on the table in the compartment......
What's going on?
Robin suddenly remembered something, and he apologized to Anne repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Miss...... The taste of home was so tempting that I forgot about it...... Don't be angry, I'll go investigate immediately...... I will definitely not be affected in any way this time......"
Robin apologized and prepared to quit. At this time, Anne said expressionlessly: "No need to go...... Sit down, and then we'll guess who those are. ”
This time Eric didn't say anything, and he had already seen something in the field.
Robin shook his head and sat down, he didn't know what was going on with him...... It stands to reason that the first time he forgot the task, he may have deserted, but the second time he forgot the task, why?
Anne didn't blame Robin, she asked, "What did you see when you went out of here?" Or what happened? ”
Robin struggled to recall, "When I get out of here, I'll go to the next carriage...... I met a train attendant who also helped me open the connecting door of the carriage. There was no one else along the road, and after passing through a carriage to the carriage where the previous safe house was located, it was compartment 603......"
At this point, Robin paused abruptly, and he tried to recall but ...... "It's strange, I can't remember what room 603 looks like...... It just jumped in my memory between compartments 602 and 604.
And then...... I went to the dining car and bought a bag of melon seeds and came back.
It's like this both times, and it's a little weird...... Can any of you tell me what happened, why I can't remember room 603 and suddenly forgot my mission? ”
Eric said, "You've been enchanted by psychic bewitchment magic, which makes people be confused even when they are alert...... It seems that there is a very powerful magician on the other side, probably a 13th-order Grand Magister.
It is very easy for such a character to want a separate compartment on the train, and even the entire carriage can be cleared for him, so why should we occupy our compartment? ”
