Chapter Forty-Nine: Take a sip of tea and calm down
EA on the border of the Eastern Continent, the headquarters of the Earth Alliance.
In the large conference room, several important leaders are arguing over a "little thing" -
"What are you kidding?! Let him join?! A newcomer who doesn't understand anything? ”
The speaker was the deputy director of the Fourth Research Institute of the Alliance, Sdel. He is an American.
The research institute of the alliance is also a very special existence, the status is not much different from that of the Ministry of Special Operations, and the number of people is relatively large, after all, excellent researchers catch a bunch of them, and most of the supernatural ones are born.
However, Deputy Director Smith was so excited that he almost slapped the table in protest, and in this comparison, the others seemed much calmer.
But the eyes of the people present never left the hologram in the middle-
Colonel Shigeaki.
Just now, it was this powerful and calm colonel who was reporting to their leaders who spoke more weightily about allowing Ji You to join the Special Operations Department.
However, no matter how angry and ridiculous Deputy Director Sterl was, Colonel Shigemi didn't give him any reaction, or he would blink in the holographic projection, and everyone had the feeling that they were looking at the colonel's photo for a meeting.
At this time, the commander's adjutant Xiaohe couldn't help but quietly stretched out his hand and pushed the commander who was wearing a hat and bowing his head slightly to take a nap, and he was very crazy in his heart.
Commander!! My dear commander! Meeting, meeting! If you don't speak, you're going to make a fool of yourself in front of your subordinates!
As if hearing the "call" of the adjutant Xiaohe, the commander nodded again, raised his hand and pretended that nothing had happened, and said in a particularly energetic way-
"Okay, the fourth deputy director, there is tea on the table, calm down yourself."
Adjutant Xiaohe: "......"
Again, the commander's classic quote: xxx, there is tea on the table, calm yourself down. This is a phrase that the commander will come up with as an omnipotent sentence no matter what the situation.
The fourth deputy director was entrusted with the arduous mission of his direct leadership, and it was the first time for him to hold such a conference on behalf of his boss, and he was actually quite nervous in his heart.
Got tea?
Hearing the words of the Alliance Commander, he subconsciously looked at his table......
No, just an empty cup.
Deputy Director Stil: Did ...... forget to pour him tea?
Taking advantage of this moment, Adjutant Xiaohe hurriedly told the commander what had been discussed just now.
The commander nodded after hearing this, and looked at the holographic projection in the center of the round table. Then he spoke:
"Actually, this meeting is just to inform everyone, I have already read the report submitted by Colonel Chongming, and there is no problem. And ......"
The commander casually glanced at the high-level officials of various countries present, and continued to say gently:
"I believe everyone also knows how much the alliance attaches importance to the emergence of the supernatural, and now the situation is becoming more and more complicated, rather than being co-opted by other organizations, it is better for us to absorb it ourselves."
Deputy Director Sterl had already prepared a stomach of rhetoric, just waiting for this meeting, but unfortunately Colonel Chongming didn't pay attention to people at all, and it was over after the report, and he didn't give any attitude, no, the commander spoke to pave the way for him-
"But Commander, you have to know how the current Adepts have become official members, and what kind of person is the Chicken......"
"Ji You."
These two words came out coldly, interrupting what Deputy Director Sterl was about to say.
Articulation is clear and the pronunciation is accurate. It's just that the voice is too cold and unkind.
- It was Colonel Shigeaki who interrupted him.
And except for Deputy Director Steel, who was a little nervous, everyone else had shocked expressions without exception-
That Colonel Chongming would take the initiative to speak?
That "humanoid weapon" Chongming, as soon as he opened his mouth, it seemed to be maintaining a human tone?
That boring man who only fights fights? Is this hologram really Colonel Shigemei? Isn't someone temporarily changing her makeup?!
Stier wanted to slap the table again, but the colonel's rank was supposed to be two levels higher than his, so he could only repeat in his dialect accent without smiling:
"So Commander, Ji You's just got a little ......"
"Ji You."
Colonel Shigeaki interrupted again.
Deputy Director Sdel: "......" He felt the urge to punch the holographic projection.
Everyone held back laughter. The first time I discovered this one-eyed Colonel Shigemei, it seemed to have an alternative black humor.
Unable to stand the command of his subordinates "bullying" his subordinates, he suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to be raised upwards, and spoke again:
"Okay, okay, Chongming, you can also give me a sip of tea to calm down. Fourth Deputy Director, you can briefly explain the reasons for your opposition. ”
"That Ji ...... That teenager! Steele was afraid that the draft he had typed again would be interrupted, and he didn't even want to mention Ji You's name.
"First, it was just a routine test of ability data before it was officially joined, which was too unfair to other abilities; second, his character and experience cannot be determined by an electronic profile;
"And third, he's said to be especially good at the ability to see ghosts, but he's unstable. Isn't that something to consider, but to essentially increase his abilities and make the battle a lot easier in the future. ”
The commander raised his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, he threw out the last concluding sentence:
"As for the above doubts, I believe that the peers and leaders here also have clear answers in their hearts - only our Fourth Research Institute can be competent for these considerations, including the improvement of abilities."
"In what way, presumably the deputy director has already counted?" The commander asked suddenly.
"That's right, when the director comes back, he will report the plan to you, and it will definitely be more creative and efficient than the previous method."
"I'm not worried about that, there are four large research institutes in the Alliance," the commander leaned back in his chair and said quietly. "One is better than the other, I just don't want the tragic incident in Z City two years ago."
Deputy Director Stihl looked a little proud, "On this point, the commander is relieved. ”
In the holographic projection, Chongming never spoke again, even when he mentioned the incident of Z City two years ago, as if he was just a bystander.
After the meeting, the deputy director finally no longer had any opinions on Ji You, who was about to join, and the commander did not object to the things he mentioned.
After everyone left, the commander sat alone in his chair and suddenly said:
"Hmph, that old fox, he didn't come by himself, and he sent a deputy director over, they can't wait to rush to S City now, and study that young man from top to bottom."
"It's strange, how could they know that the young man's ability is unstable?"
####
And Ji You, who was following Yu Xiao on a mission, suddenly sneezed.
"Ah......h
He sniffed, raised his hand to rub it, and muttered, ", is someone saying that I'm handsome behind my back, it's really annoying." ”
Yu Xiao turned around and gave him a roll of his eyes.
