Chapter 373: The Illusion of Peace
"Huh......" The next morning, Lin Xinrui stretched out in Su Hang's arms and woke up, snorted with satisfaction, and then glanced back and found that Su Hang was looking at her sleepy-eyed, so he smiled and leaned over and kissed him: "Morning...... Why don't you sleep here and stare at people? ”
"Of course I woke up when you made such a big move......," Su Hang muttered, "Did you sleep well?" ”
"Hmm...... Sure enough, I still have to sleep like this. Lin Xinrui sighed with satisfaction and said, adjusted her posture and said, "Although as soon as I woke up, I felt that I was being pushed hard by you...... Oh, don't rub it! ”
As she spoke, Lin Xinrui stroked her long hair and sat up and began to get dressed.
"Little girl, I know, I'll take you down to pee right away." Lin Xinrui smiled at the little girl who was sitting on the edge of their bed and wagged her tail at them, then stretched her waist and said, "Hmm! It's good to have peace...... It's all back to the way it used to be. ”
"What's the matter......" Su Hang was noncommittal, just stroked her back.
"It's so itchy...... Lin Xinrui shuddered, put on her sweater, and then leaned over and kissed Su Hang on the face, "I'll make you breakfast after I go for a walk, can you sleep for a while?" ”
"Yo, you seem to be in a good mood, so attentive?" Su Hang pinched her chin and teased.
"That's it, you've booked so many women, one is better than the other, the other is more beautiful than the other, and the cooking skills are all just, if I don't work harder, I'm going to be dumped by you." Lin Xinrui said sourly.
"Then why don't you give you a reassuring pill and leave a dragon seed in your body first?" Su Hang asked as he kissed her lightly on the cheek.
"Okay, tonight." Lin Xinrui replied with a smile, and then pushed Su Hang away, "Okay, don't make trouble yet." I've got to put on makeup, I can't wait. ”
While Lin Xinrui was walking the dog, Su Hang lay on the bed and grabbed his mobile phone to take a look.
Now his main focus is on the news, although it seems to be peaceful on the surface, but it only creates a false illusion of peace, in fact, the world is more chaotic than before.
Of course, this chaos is not only the chaos of the time flow, although the chaos of time has stabilized, but a group of agents have appeared before, a force, they believe that only agents should survive in the new world, and humans should be like animals, leaving only a part of it, on their Noah's Ark.
In short, they only intend to leave those useful humans, or humans with some kind of expertise, aboard their so-called "Noah's Ark" and survive with the agents, and then the rest of the humans will die in the chaotic temporal storm. Although this task is currently unavailable, it is clear that this group of people has not given up.
The most terrifying thing is that these agents and the Murphy cult should not be a force. Or that although they are all Murphy members, they are not the same purpose as the Rust gang, which is very disturbing.
In addition, the existence of agents has also had a serious impact on the economy, history and all aspects of the world, resulting in a significant decline in the status of non-agents.
Prime ministers or high-ranking officials in many countries have exchanged unimaginable money and various privileges for the protection of agents, and hospitals or some emergency facilities, or some scientific research institutions are also seeking to hire an agent at a high price.
In fact, it is not surprising that some agents are now willing to cooperate with the government.
After all, the purpose of the Publicists was to gain the approval of the world, and they wanted to be privileged, and that was a desire to be noticed, to be the center of the crowd. So the special status of the agent just satisfies their vanity.
So, in fact, those who are now cooperating with the government or some countries happen to be open agents.
Su Hang also knew that what he had done before was a favor for some people in the Open faction and made the world the way they wanted, but there was no way to do it, because it was the only solution at that time. By the time he went to find Han Tianyu and was trapped in London in 1888, they had already lost the battle.
Instead of letting all of humanity perish, let the world go in the direction that those people want.
What's more, in fact, Su Hang now thinks that it is not bad for the world to become like this, at least he has a special identity and can take Yang Yang and the others as his own. Now, of course, he doesn't need to, and doesn't intend to, go back to the past.
It was Rust and Situ Xing who really gave up going back to the past after they said that to him.
Indeed, as Rust said, even if he goes back to the past, the world will not change the slightest, and the people who should be lost will still be lost, unless he changes himself. In that case, why would he waste so much time going back in time to change himself, chasing what he would have lost? It's better to stay in the present.
What's more, now he is also doing well, even much better than before, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for in the past.
Perhaps, although he was on the side of the Occultists, the world described by the Publicists was the world he expected, so he was willing to stand up and issue that "public statement" at that time.
Thinking of this, Su Hang was actually a little shocked, because Rust said that all this was guided by them, in this case, was the decision he made already guessed by the other party? Or is it the other party's purpose in the first place? From the day he became an agent, today's ending was already doomed?
Su Hang scratched the back of his head irritably, and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind, now dwelling on these is only adding to his troubles, and he doesn't know what the world will become in the future, just wait for development.
Thinking of this, Su Hang got up from the bed and called his parents to explain the situation.
"You're not against the government, are you? Does the government know who you are? Father Su asked worriedly.
"I ...... Actually, I have been working with the Monitoring Bureau for a long time, and they know who I am. Su Hang said frankly that he really couldn't bear to deceive his parents on this matter, after all, his parents were really worried about his safety.
"The Monitor? Is it the organization that the hidden agent exists? I heard that they are now being taken over by the government. Father Su asked nervously, "Then isn't your identity also exposed?" ”
"Hmm...... No, although the monitoring bureau has been taken over by the government, it still operates independently. Su Hang explained.
"Your mom asked you what you do in the Inspectorate?" Father Su asked again.
"I basically don't work with the bureau, mainly to deal with the tasks of time agents, tinkering with time flow or something." Su Hang replied, hearing that Father Su seemed to be relieved, obviously thinking that repairing the time flow was some kind of tinker or something like that, and he didn't need to fight with anything, so he instructed: "That's good, don't have anything to do with the government, you know?" Don't tell anyone who you are, no one can trust you these days. I've heard of someone abroad who killed the whole family of a certain agent, and I tried to force him to hand over the flow of time......"
"Yes, I see." Su Hang said with a dry smile, "This kind of thing is mostly a rumor, you and your mother have a good time, just don't talk about my affairs with others, I can handle the confidential matter myself." ”
After ending the call, Captain Su Hang sighed, and at this time, Lin Xinrui hugged him coldly from behind and smiled: "What are you sighing for?" Who were you talking to on the phone? ”
"Your future parents-in-law." Su Hang touched Lin Xinrui's brain and said.
Lin Xinrui's face turned red, and then she muttered in a low voice, "What did your father-in-law and mother-in-law say?" ”
"Ask me if the identity of the agent has been revealed, and then tell me to be careful." Su Hang said helplessly.
"That's right." Lin Xinrui pondered for a while, and then said coldly, "Ah Hang, can you find time to accompany me to meet my parents?" They've wanted to see you ever since. I thought that if we had talked about this earlier, I would have been able to rest assured. Anyway, with my parents' behavior, I guess they won't care if I'm your first wife. ”
"Hmm...... It's good. Su Hang nodded and said, "Then I'll clean up, and let's go after dinner." ”
"Now, now? Go today? Lin Xinrui said a little nervously, "This, this is too sudden!" ”
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have time?" Su Hang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"It's not either...... Lin Xinrui hesitated, and then suddenly made up her mind, "Okay, just today!" ”
"Well, you can't go empty-handed, I'll go and prepare some gifts later." Su Hang thought about it and replied, Lin Xinrui covered her forehead, "Ouch, I forgot to tell you about this, they ...... To put it simply, the more expensive the better. ”
"Leave it to me, I'll give them something that only an agent can give." Su Hang teased and hugged Lin Xinrui into his arms, "Don't worry so much, just leave it to your future husband." ”
"Okay then...... I'll leave it to you, husband. There was a hint of uncontrollable smile at the corner of Lin Xinrui's mouth.
"Oh, but you have to tell your parents that I only meet with them alone," Su Hang admonished, "What my parents said today reminded me that I did hear in the circle of agents that some rich people in the underworld, such as mafia leaders, can't buy the flow of time with money, so they use those threatening means to force the agent to serve him, to be his bodyguards and so on." ”
"Oh, okay." Lin Xinrui nodded and said, then grabbed the mobile phone to the side, called her parents, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she spoke in a thick dialect, saying something that Su Hang basically didn't understand.
After a while, Lin Xinrui took a deep breath and nodded, "It's all said." ”
"You look nervous." Su Hang teased and patted Lin Xinrui's buttocks.
"There's no way, it's grown so big, and the first boyfriend I brought back is a new species of surrogate." Lin Xinrui didn't have a good breath, and then rolled up her sleeves, "I'll go make breakfast first, and you can also change your clothes and prepare......"
After eating, Su Hang prepared the gift and teleported directly to the street where her parents' store was located with Lin Xinrui. Her parents and relatives opened a clothing store on the shopping street together, and in the past few days, because the time rift has just recovered, everyone is rushing to finish their previous work, and the street seems relatively deserted.
And Lin Xinrui's parents, her father is black and strong, and her mother is short and fat, and she looks very kind. If it had been before, Su Hang might have been empty when he saw Lin Xinrui's father, but now he ......
"Hello uncle and aunt." Su Hang greeted the two, and Lin Xinrui smiled: "Mom, Dad, this is Su Hang, my boyfriend." ”
"Arrived so soon? Called twenty minutes ago to say you were coming? Father Lin asked in surprise, and Lin Xinrui explained: "He is an agent, and he can teleport all over the world in an instant, and he came over in a second." ”
"Oh! Awesome! Mother Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Come on, come on, sit down, drink tea and drink tea." It's ......"
Lin Mu looked at the things in Su Hang's hand and asked with some curiosity, and Su Hang explained one by one: "Oh, this is salmon from Alaska, very fresh, freshly caught; This is a king crab from Hokkaido, Japan, and I just bought it; And ......"
Su Hang handed over the gifts he had gotten from all over the world to Mother Lin and Father Lin one by one, and the other party was already smiling.
Su Hang couldn't help but sigh, he still has money to do. In fact, he has always been worried that Father Lin and Mother Lin will ask him and their daughter more harshly about how far they have developed, and he is also a little worried that they will use this to blackmail them into getting engaged first after hearing that Su Hang has already had a relationship with Lin Xinrui.
But in fact, they had a very good attitude towards Su Hang, and they didn't ask him too much, most of the time they were just thinking about it with their daughter, and finally Su Hang explained the threats that the relatives of the current agent might encounter, and then hoped that they would not tell their relatives about his existence or the specific situation, just tell others that he was a rich man.
Everything is going well, but he and Lin Xinrui are only dating at the moment, and it is not yet time to get married, after all, Lin Xinrui is still in college, and she is not in a hurry, she is ready to waste a few more years.
"What did your parents tell you?" After returning home, Su Hang couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing." Lin Xinrui muttered, "That is, they didn't want me to marry too far before, but now it should be okay, anyway, I will come back in a second." And then there's ......" Speaking of this, Lin Xinrui's face turned red, "Let me be kind to you, don't be dumped by you, if necessary, I will give you a dragon seed or something...... It's really my parents. ”
Hearing this, Su Hang pressed on her buttocks and teased: "Then let's hurry up and fulfill the orders of our parents, shall we?" ”
"Get out." Lin Xinrui snorted, "I can tell you in advance that I won't think about having children until I'm twenty-five years old." ”
"Let's practice first......" Su Hang took Lin Xinrui into his arms, and then began to linger.
