Chapter 172: The Choice of the Way Ahead
Fang's aunt is called Zhang Rou.
The name sounds very gentle, and on the outside it seems to be a weak woman, but in the bones it is actually quite assertive, and her job is to teach at a university in China, and she is a typical intellectual woman.
In his memory, when he was a child, once he and Tang Xin got into trouble at school, his uncle, who is a writer, would occasionally have a 'symposium' with them, have a long talk, and discuss the two little guys' outlook on life and worldview. But more often than not, it is the aunt who 'talks' with them.
And Ms. Zhang Rou's 'heart-to-heart talk' is often much more direct, you look at this ring ruler, it is wide and long, so the two of them are actually much more afraid of this lady. So much so that Fang still remembers that the other party's face was silent.
He even felt that compared to the other party, the virus was simply a drop in the bucket.
And Zhang Rou, who appeared on the other side of the video at this moment, was still wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and only looked at him coldly: "Long ability?" ”
Immediately, Fang was so frightened that he didn't dare to take another breath, and hurriedly lowered his head, as for the series of words that he had originally envisioned, he had long forgotten that he had gone to Java. He knew that his aunt had been a top student since she was a child, and her EQ and IQ were both high, so if she lied at her own level, she was afraid that she would be exposed in a few words.
And my aunt is very venomous, and even my uncle, who is a writer, is often pressed to the ground and rubbed against him, once he is exposed, his fate can be imagined, it is basically a complete humiliation.
He still remembers Tang Xin's miserable end after lying once and being exposed by the other party. At that time, although he was lucky not to participate in his cousin's 'plan' and escaped, he fell into a serious psychological shadow on the sidelines, which was a good beating
Since then, he has not dared to lie half a word in front of his aunt.
However, Fang, who managed to live to the age of seventeen, naturally has his own way of survival, and he understands that in front of this lady, as long as he pretends to be a shivering quail, he will not have to worry about his life. At this point, he thinks that he is much smarter than Tang Xinke.
Really.
Zhang Rou had an expression of hatred on his face, and he trained him with a dog blood spray, and even Su Changfeng on the side couldn't help laughing, and his uncle couldn't help but speak a few times, but they all glared at this lady fiercely:
"Tang Sheng, this kid is so bold now, it's all your connivance."
"Well, I think the small essence is still good, it's just some small problems"
"Small problems, you continue to get used to him, small problems will become big problems."
"It's serious, it's serious."
But after a storm, the rain finally cleared.
Zhang Rou saw that he didn't dare to take a breath, so he couldn't help but snort coldly. She looked Fang up and down, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked, "Nothing happened, right?" ”
Fang thought that he was still muttering that although he fell off the cliff and died once, and stabbed people again, and then almost died in the dragon's belly several times, and dealt with the cultists several times, he was born and died, but he was finally in danger, so he nodded.
Zhang Rou relieved her heart at this time, and asked in a soft tone, "How long has it been since you ran out this time?" ”
"Almost a year."
"A year," she frowned, "and what about your studies?" ”
Her eyes turned cold again, like a knife stuck in Fang's body, and her tone was full of doubt: "You won't drop out of school behind our backs?" ”
Fang was scared half to death, if he dared to do that, this little life would probably be half gone. So he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I have asked my tutor for leave." Besides, I can finish my studies in Aitalia as well, and my thesis is related to the ecology of the Giant Tree Hill."
But Zhang Rou didn't listen at all, and only glared at him: "It's beautiful, this matter is over here, you get back to me early." ”
She stopped suddenly: "And Tang Xin too, she's on your side, right?" ”
Fang was startled, thinking that his aunt was really deaf and clear-sighted, and even knew this. He mourned for his cousin for a moment in his heart, but he didn't have the slightest intention of hiding it, and quickly nodded.
"Let that dead girl get back with her."
When his wife was discouraged, Tang Sheng had a chance to speak, he didn't talk much as always, and only told Fang generously and elegantly not to have too much psychological burden, to pay attention to his own safety, and so on.
As for the affairs of the military side and Xingmen Port, he and Zhang Rou will try their best to find a way for him.
Although the smuggling of Xingmen violates relevant laws and regulations, in fact, there are no hard and fast provisions for the smugglers themselves, so that they have to bear any legal responsibility. When the military catches the stowaways, most of them are expelled from the country, and for those who have caused varying degrees of damage, it is just civil compensation.
After all, tourists and the official Stargate tour channel have only been born for a few years, and in the early years, when there was no glow equipment, free entry into the Stargate was still regarded as a universal right, and there were many stowaways at that time. And the reason why Fang chose this path, of course, is not only because of Tou Tie, but also because there are certain historical reasons.
At the end, the other party said to him seriously:
"Xiao, you and Tangtang are waiting for us over there and take you back together. As for other things, you have to obey the arrangement of Xingmen Port In addition, don't take your aunt's words to heart, she is also worried that you will be in such a hurry. ”
Fang hurriedly nodded.
In the video, Tang Sheng looked at Ambassador Liao on the side. The latter only smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Tang, we still have some things to talk about with Mr. Fang." ”
Tang Sheng nodded: "I'm sorry for you, Ambassador Liao, I'll leave it to you when I'm young." ”
"Don't worry," Ambassador Liao said softly, "We will protect Mr. Fang's personal safety." ”
Fang watched the ambassador close the video, then turned back to look at this side, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said with interest: "Mr. Fang, you can make it easy for us to find this time, because of your 'trivial matter' The Stargate special teams of the five permanent members of the United Nations have all been dispatched, and there are also search teams from thirteen countries such as South Korea and Japan to join it. ”
He let out a long sigh, "We've been looking for Aitalia for five months before we can see you today. And this is thanks to you taking the initiative to show up in Van Rik, otherwise I don't know how long this kind of search operation will last, I think it will be at least half a year. ”
Fang Wenyan's old face turned red.
He didn't expect that his own matter would cause such a big movement. And what made him even more frightened was that if Xingmen Port asked him to repay the dispatch costs of the special reserve team, he was afraid that he would not be able to pay him back if he was sold ten times.
Of course, this is just his personal perception. Because at least in Su Changfeng's opinion, there is no need to sell it ten times at all, and one time is more than enough, and there may even be interest.
However, although Ambassador Liao listed these data one by one, his tone was not too harsh, and there was even a hint of ridicule: "But can I ask what you plan to do next, Mr. Fang?" ”
Fang Wenyan was also a little distressed.
It stands to reason that he would like to stay in Aitalia as well. But judging from the tone of my aunt and uncle, most of them are not allowed. In fact, he had discussed this matter with the two of them many times before coming to Aitalia, but it ended with the other party's resolute opposition.
Even his uncle, who had always been very tolerant of him, was opposed to this matter.
Therefore, he really had no choice, so he had to make this decision. He originally thought that after he finished his thesis here, he would find a way to make the two of them accept that he thought that his uncle and aunt were reasonable people, and that he should understand his personal choice at that time.
But what I didn't expect was that I sneaked out and caused such a big movement. He saw his uncle and aunt in horror, fortunately the two had no intention of beating him to death, but he could also hear it in and out of the words, and it was probably no fun to stay.
But how did he get there?
Not to mention academics, what about Sylveid?
He frowned for a moment, and couldn't help but be very distressed.
Ambassador Liao naturally saw this, and said in a slower tone: "It seems that your family is opposed to you becoming a caller. ”
Fang nodded helplessly.
But the other party smiled and asked, "What about yourself, do you want to stay in this world?" ”
Fang Wenyan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the other party. He seemed to hear the meaning of the ambassador's words, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a heavy light.
……
The bright sunlight was shining through the glass windows, casting impurities on the floor, and in the golden light, there seemed to be countless tiny creatures flying up and down.
Luo Hao watched Yu Wenyu peeling an apple. The other party's technique is very interesting, using a silver knife, first peeling the top, and then peeling the apple in turn on the other side, the peels on both sides are gathered together, but the middle keeps falling, slender and long.
Then the other party will pick up the roll of peel and put it on a wooden plate. In just a short moment, he had already peeled three of them and put them on a plate one by one.
Luo Hao had never seen a person peel an apple like this, especially a man. He always felt that the other party was actually a sissy in his heart.
He sat on the bed and said, "But seriously, if it weren't for you, I would have hung there." ”
"The captain sent me through." Yu Wenyu raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"I know, but I've heard that you reported it to the captain. To be honest, I used to think you didn't like me. ”
"You're right, it's true."
Luo Hao opened his mouth and replied, "Okay, I admit that the two of us have a bit of a holiday. ”
Yuwen Yu stopped the knife and looked at him: "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
"I think my judgment at the time was right, it was okay to let me be punished, I violated discipline first, but let me leave the team, I don't accept it."
"I didn't report it to the captain."
"If it's not you, who could it be?"
Luo Hao was blushing and his neck was thick, but he suddenly saw the other party turn around. He fell silent and heard a few soft knocks outside the door.
"It was the captain's own order." Yu Wenyu replied.
"You think I'm going to believe you?" Luo Hao watched the other party get up and open the door, and lowered his voice slightly.
Yu Wenyu opened the door, and there was a sergeant in a black coat standing outside the door, the other party was carrying a thick envelope, only looked at him and asked, "Where is Luo Hao?" ”
He recognized the identity of the other party at once, and subconsciously took a step back. The man saw Luo Hao in the room, and after confirming that it was correct, he took out the envelope from his arms and said to him and Luo Hao: "Luo Hao, your order has arrived." ”
"Appointment?" Luo Hao looked dazed: "What appointment?" ”
……
Faced with the ambassador's question, Fang only thought for a moment before nodding seriously.
Seeing this, Ambassador Liao looked back at Su Changfeng on the side. The latter then took out a stack of papers from his bosom and gently let go of the two of them.
He pressed the stack of documents with his hand, and then spoke: "After all, this time is different from the past, the affairs of Xingmen Port are far more transparent than before, and although there is such a thing as a stowaway, although all countries maintain a high degree of uniformity, there is actually a lot of news flowing out."
"And officially, we use 'missing tourists' to refer to this incident, and since the news has been made public, it is honestly not so easy to send you back quietly."
He raised his head and looked at Fang: "So in fact, it is an easier way for you to stay. After all, your uncle and aunt don't want you to be involved in a storm of public opinion because of this, right? ”
Fang looked at the three of them.
Of course, he understood that these words were not addressed to him, but to his uncle and aunt. With such an excuse, the military had every reason to let him stay in Aitalia.
However, he looked at Mr. Ambassador, who looked easy-going, as well as Su Changfeng, who had sharp eyes, and Zhang Tianmi, who had a cold face. But I know in my heart that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
He whispered, "At what cost?" ”
"Special Appointment"
Fang already knew about the special appointment at the time of the craftsman competition, but as an ordinary person, he only heard of the name of this so-called special order, but did not know what its specific content was.
He couldn't help but look at the ambassador and Su Changfeng.
Ambassador Liao seemed to sense his intentions and smiled: "I heard that you still have studies to complete in Aitalia, right?" ”
Fang was slightly stunned, not understanding why the other party would mention this. But he thought about it for a moment, and nodded: "It's an investigation of the ecology of the Giant Tree Hill and Aitalia. ”
"Hehe," Ambassador Liao laughed, "we can't afford to delay a young man's studies." ”
Fang Wenyan's heart moved.
Ambassador Liao also bluntly said: "In this case, we can give you a few choices, Mr. Fang." The first is to join the Xingmen Port Special Force, I think you should have heard of this force and know something about it. ”
Fang nodded.
"Second, if you return to Earth, we will try our best to ensure that you will not be affected too much, after all, although the smuggling incident is not big or small, but you have performed well during your time in Aitalia, and you have made an extremely outstanding contribution to the cause of the Electee, and we can not pursue it."
Fang listened and was silent for a moment before asking, "What about the third?" ”
"Third," Ambassador Liao did not answer this time, but said to Su Changfeng on the side: "On the surface, you still maintain the identity of a free caller, but in private, we need you to help us complete some tasks." ”
Fang was stunned for a moment.
In fact, he also guessed some of these three conditions. Putting aside the second condition, the first condition is to really join the special force of Xingmen Port, and after having such an identity, the military can classify his identity as a military trainee.
As a result, due to the military's training program without going through the hands of the Super Athletic Federation, coupled with the secrecy regulations, his identity as a stowaway may not be known until many years later.
This undoubtedly solves his immediate worries at the moment.
But Fang himself did not consider this option, because after joining the special team, he would lose more freedom, a soldier has the vocation of a soldier, and the possibility of him going to the second world is very small.
In fact, not to mention him, most of the free electees cooperate with the military, also through the third type of way.
This is where Article 3 comes from.
The military has been known to work with teams of free electors, who are endorsed and supported by the military, and who do some tasks for the military.
However, the military's mission is generally less focused on contact with the Electee's Guild and the Aborigines, and most of them are tasks such as border patrols, investigating cultists, or exploring unknown areas.
There are many such freelance teams working with the military in the second world, and Loofah's team is undoubtedly the most famous.
The cooperation between the Free Elector team and the military was the first of its kind in China, and in the early years, governments and the headquarters of the Super Athletic League complained about it. However, because the Chinese side has always adhered to the principle of not interfering in the guild struggle and the political struggle of the aborigines, these voices have been calmed down and such cooperation has become the norm in Aitalia.
Even in recent years, governments around the world have begun to develop their own teams.
However, the conditions that Su Changfeng offered at this time greatly surprised Fang.
After all, the difference between the bright and the private is naturally huge, and he is not a fool, so he couldn't help but look at Mr. Ambassador and Su Changfeng in a little surprise for a while.
And the latter did not shy away from it, nodded and said: "You should have guessed, we want you to help us investigate some things, some matters that we are not very convenient to meddle in." ”
Fang gasped, thinking that this was indeed the case.
He couldn't help but look at the two of them a little weakly, and wondered a little in horror that if he didn't agree, would he directly lock up these people on a very trumped-up charge.
Never to see the light of day.
Su Changfeng couldn't help laughing: "Don't think too much, we're not asking you to do anything unseemly." In fact, the reason why we chose you is also considered. ”
Fang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the other party curiously. Although he has shown some potential at the moment, the potential is unstable after all? The future is always just an expectation, and there are many geniuses who died in the middle of Aitalia.
If the military wants to find someone who is more capable than him, in fact, there are many people. With his current strength, he can't even catch up with the 'Qin Zhi' who had a relationship with each other at the beginning, not to mention the people who are higher than Qin Zhi in the Chinese Division.
So what is the reason for the other party to find him? To be inconspicuous, there are many people who are paying attention to him now.
Only then did Su Changfeng slowly speak: "You and Sophie investigated the matter of the Dragon Worship Sect, and the whole process passed through my hands, so I can say that I have more say in this matter." ”
After he paused, his tone suddenly became much more serious: "Fang, what do you think of the Super Athletic Alliance?" ”
