Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Past
"Tom, tom" There was a knock on the door, and Quincy cheered and ran to open the door, "Fried fish, fried fish, it's finally here~"
"Hello guys, I'm ..."A man dressed in a black suit, black sunglasses, and a cut head that looks like a cannon fodder agent from a movie stood at the door, "Fried fish, where is my fried fish?" Quincy looked at the person standing at the door with a puzzled expression, "You don't smell of fried fish!" ”
The situation at the door attracted the attention of Prestige and others, Li Xin quietly clicked on a backup program on the terminal, Prestige hid in his hand, quietly added a dagger, counterattacked and pretended to be casual and began to move closer to Li Xin's direction, "Hello, guests, the meal you ordered has been delivered, please use it slowly" An old man with silver hair pushed a dining cart and walked in, lifted the silver lid on the dining car, and the aroma of food began to spread, it was the meal that Li Xin had just ordered.
"Everyone use it slowly" The silver-haired old man bowed slightly, "When you finish your meal, I hope we can talk", as soon as the old man's voice fell, he counterattacked and picked up Li Xin, with his back to the door, and he had an extra dagger on each of his hands, and it only took 3 seconds to put the knife on the old man's neck, and Quincy seemed to finally notice that something was wrong, and protected the fireflies behind him.
"Let him go!" The man in black at the door reached for his belt, this action made Prestige frown, and the blade of the dagger advanced a little more, and the cold blade was only a few millimeters away from the old man's neck, "Let your men raise their hands"
The silver-haired old man didn't seem to be worried about his injury at all, and ordered in a calm voice, "Hank, leave it to me here, you go out first"
The man named Hank nodded, backed out of the room, and closed the door.
"I'm sorry that my man has disturbed the lunch of a few young ladies, I apologize to you for him, you can use it slowly, I'll just wait," the silver-haired old man said in a gentle voice.
Prestige didn't let his guard down because of this, and asked in a slightly cold voice, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm John Dewell of the International Special Services Organization, and it's an honor to meet you."
"International Special Services Organization?" Li Xin's voice came out of the arms of the counterattack, "I have never heard of such an international organization in the world"
"We are rarely exposed to the public, after all, there is something special about our work"
"What is your purpose?" Li Xin continued to ask.
After the old man spit out two words, he fell silent, waiting for Li Xin and the others to answer.
"Fight back, let me go" Getting down from the arms of the counterattack, Li Xin stood in front of the old man, "Cooperation? Tell me what you want."
"I think our purpose is the same" Dewell paused, "ZERO"
Sure enough, it's impossible for ZERO to exist without being noticed by the government, but how did they know that we were also looking for ZERO?
Suppress the question in your heart, "What is the benefit of us cooperating with you?" ”
"Everyone's shipwive, you can get an official status on Earth"
Hearing Dewell's words, Prestige's hand shook slightly, and his eyes for counterattack also changed.
Li Xin raised a frown on the side, "You know a lot, very tempting conditions, but I can't give you an answer yet, I need to discuss it with my companions"
"Okay, here's my business card, you can contact me at any time" John Dewell handed over a business card, and there was no other information on the business card except John Dewell's name and a terminal number.
"Well, I'm sorry to have disturbed your lunch," Dewell faced the crowd and stepped back, reaching the door of the room, before turning to open the door.
Looking at Dewell who was leaving, Prestige put the dagger in his hand under his skirt and cast an inquiring look at Li Xin, "I didn't expect that we were still targeted by the government, maybe after we solved the hijackers, we were already targeted, damn, I should have noticed earlier"
looked at Li Xin, who was blaming herself, and fought back and hugged her into her arms, "It's not your fault, miss, after all, you are only thirteen years old, and it is already very good to reach this point"
"Well, now is not the time to blame ourselves, should we think about how to deal with it next, do we need to contact the master?" Prestige said on the side.
"No, not for the time being, according to the plan, they will come back tomorrow at the latest, since we have been targeted before this, Yu Xing should also have their people on his side, instead of worrying him, it is better to let them relax" Li Xin waved his hand.
"So you found out too" Prestige seemed a little surprised.
"Don't forget, I still have a psychology degree, Richelieu's state, I can already see it" Li Xin was a little proud.
The room then fell silent for a moment.
Grunt, the sound of Quincy's stomach broke the silence in the room.
"Let's eat lunch first, if you don't eat it again, it will be cold" Prestige brought the plates from the dining car to the table, Quincy and Firefly ran over cheering, "You two, go wash your hands first" Counter stopped the two and drove them to the bathroom.
Hyde Park
Prestige and Li Xin were walking, "Prestige, you are Yu Xing's wedding ship, right?" Li Xin asked suddenly.
"Hmm" prestige does not seem to be surprised, but shows the ring on his finger, "This is the day I defeated Sukhbaatar and Odin, and it was given to me by my master"
"Oh? So you killed the dean of that event? ”
"Well, it was a three-day fierce battle, the deep sea poured out, almost all the deep sea flagships arrived, and in the end we paid the price of the three sisters who were forced to be treated by the damage management team before finally defeating them" Prestige recalled that battle, and there was still unbearability in his expression, although he now knew that the battle was only an anniversary event, but the tragic situation of the battle was still deeply left in the depths of prestige memory, and the sisters who fought were seriously injured at least ten times or more, several times, I almost had to accept the help of the damage management team, but in the end, everyone worked together to repel the deep sea and save the port area.
Prestige looked at the ring on his hand, recalling the tragic battle.
"I haven't experienced that activity, the game of ship N, I've only been playing for 3 months" Li Xin looked at the counterattack not far away, "I was forced by my father to learn a lot of things since I was a child, just because my performance in the intelligence test reached the S score"
"I didn't have any friends in my childhood, I just had different teachers, until three months ago, my father was hospitalized, and I finally got rid of the life he arranged for me to do some of the things I wanted, and then I saw that game, at first I just played with the idea of studying the personality system of the game, and then I found that in that world, I found the feeling that I once thought I would never have again"
"Prestige" Prestige, who was standing next to her, did not respond, because she knew that Li Xin was not talking about herself, "She is like my mother, I feel a long-lost feeling from her, lying in her arms, closing my eyes, I feel that my mother has not left me"
"I became good friends with the expulsors, and the prestige fought back against them, just like my elders, and I had many older sisters, so I became obsessed with it, and I felt that this world was where I really should be, there was no homework to write into, there was no father with a strong look of expectation, no..."
“… So much hypocrisy"
"Now that I think about it, I really regret that I became interested in psychology"
"What happened later was that a counterattack appeared in my room, and at that time I felt as if God had not abandoned me" Li Xin showed a bright smile.
This is the most sincere and innocent smile that Prestige has ever seen.
Prestige half-squatted and took Li Xin into his arms, stroking the little girl's head, Li Xin first showed a slightly surprised expression, and then closed his eyes, "Mom", the sunset shone on the two of them, and time stood still here.
