How many people can face death calmly?

In fact, many people can, as long as they have a strong faith and a desire for a new life, then death is nothing more than an eternal medal for them.

But it was clear that this agent from the Security Council could not do this, he did not really believe in the old fellow of God, at least in the world he knew, God had never been manifested, and those so-called miracles only appeared in the records of some churches.

He has a whole family, and a child who is about to be born, and he has even agreed with the vice chairman that when he returns this time, he will take a week off, and he will go back to meet the moment when the most holy life comes into this world. He will love his children, his wife, and maybe have more children, and then slowly accompany them to grow old, calmly walking through his life that may not be dazzling.

He didn't think that he would die in the mission.

Hey, don't be kidding, he's a member of the Security Committee, it's a special department that purge all internal forces that may threaten national security and the system, they are the only ones who kill people, and when others dare to kill them casually.

He remembered what his already dead companion had said a moment before he left the room - he should go back.

Silence is the best way to disguise cowardice in your heart, as long as you don't open your mouth, others don't know if your heart is as strong as it seems, or if it has already collapsed. Looking at the flame on the lighter in Dover's hand, and seeing that he was about to throw it out, he couldn't help but remember what Durin had just said.

He said that when the temperature of a person's body drops to a certain level, even if it is burned by fire, there is no pain, and there seems to be some truth in this sentence. In the winter, when you play in the snow for too long, your hands will freeze and feel pain, and you will feel numb. Whether it's a colder thrill or stuffed into a warm place, there's nothing to feel about it.

He began to think about a question, does it really not hurt?

If it doesn't hurt, maybe it's a good choice to die, although his family won't be a hero's parents and a hero's wife because of him, but they can enjoy more generous benefits from the empire, from the moment his death is confirmed, his family's future life will not need him to worry, his children will receive the best education, and his wife will not need to worry about the cost of living.

But...... , why is there unwillingness?

Intense unwillingness!

He told himself, "Actually, I don't want to die!"

"I say ......," he looked at Durin's feet with a somewhat evasive gaze, "My name is Eric, with the rank of second lieutenant in the Imperial Security Council, and this time we have come to the western region to investigate the causes of the turmoil in the west and prevent it from intensifying. At the request and direction of His Excellency the Vice-President, we have made you, Mr. Doolin, our first target, and we are monitoring your daily life in an attempt to find the real cause of the unrest in the West. That's why I'm here with my dead colleague, I'm not lying, I promise!"

The lighter in Dover's hand was taken back by him, and the flames became a thing of the past, which made Eric breathe a sigh of relief and feel an indescribable regret. He regretted why he was so cowardly, he regretted why he was so unbearable, that even death would make him so frightened that he couldn't breathe. He failed a lot of things, including himself, he betrayed his beliefs, he betrayed his future.

However, there was a sense of relief in my heart.

Durin pursed his lips and casually pointed at him with his cigarette-holding hand, "Get him down, dress him and get some hot drinks, I have other things to talk to Ensign Eric." ”

At this time, a child rushed from behind everyone, he ran to a middle-aged man and said something in the middle-aged man's ear on his tiptoes, the middle-aged man praised the boy with some surprise, and then walked to Durin's side to convey the news that the child had just sent.

Seven gold diggers entered the town, and they entered the town in three groups, and are now wandering the streets.

Gold diggers can be seen from time to time in the town of Waxiu, but most of these gold diggers are lone rangers, there are no mineral deposits in the vicinity, and there is no transportation artery, except for a train station where the train can stop a little to replenish supplies, gold prospectors will not find much benefit here.

Raiding villages?

Maybe it's a way to get rich, but they have to have at least a thousand or more.

Durin told the middle-aged man to tell the Guerts in the town to keep an eye on the group, and if they left soon, forget it, but if they only had to inquire about anything, let them "stay".

With the help of others, Eric put on his clothes, trembling and holding a somewhat hot iron cup, followed Durin into the room, and there were only two people in the room, Durin and him, both of whom were guarding the door.

"Mr. Eric, I apologize to you for all that has happened to you. Dürin's first words made Eric a little overwhelmed, he didn't understand what Doolin wanted to do, he was so frightened that he couldn't even sit in a chair and stood up.

Durin raised his hand and pressed it down, "Don't be nervous, sit down, so that our communication will be normal, and I don't like to look up and communicate with people." I don't know which of Doolin's words worked, Eric sat back in his chair, and Doolin handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: "Look, I'm not a difficult person to get along with, and I'm not a person who is completely my own." With the future and expectations of many people on my shoulders, I can't leave these things behind and move forward alone. If someone wants to believe what you say and gives you enough trust, then you shouldn't live up to that trust, right?"

Eric took a sip of the hot ...... He glanced down, unsure what it was. It's kind of like coffee, but it's more bitter and mellow. This is a type of thing called tree grapes, which is more common locally. People cut the grapes and took out the fruit from them, roasted them through simple processing, and then ground them into powder, which became their bitter drink, and they called it black coffee.

He quickly raised his head to look at the position of Durin's chest, he didn't dare to look Dulin in the eye, "Yes, Mr. Dorin. You're doing the right thing!"

Durin was satisfied with his answer, "It seems that we have found a direction that can be understood by both sides, so in order to keep myself in a safe situation, I will inevitably be very sensitive to things that are malicious or likely to be malicious in the outside world, which is why I hope you can forgive me." After receiving Eric's affirmative answer, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed, "Are you married?"

The abrupt question made Eric, who felt extremely tired, suddenly tremble, and the relatively hot black coffee in his hand spilled on the back of his hand, and he didn't feel any pain, "You...... What do you mean?"

"It's just us chatting, and honestly, with my ability, it's easy to find out all of your information after knowing your name and where you work. I can easily know your parents, your loved ones, your wife, your children, even if you have a dog, and what the dog's name is. So it's just a small talk, we should let go of our prejudices and say something ordinary, don't you want to talk to me?"

Eric fell silent, and Durin didn't urge him, just looked at him with a smile. After about a minute, Eric nodded, "Yes, I'm married, and I'm about to have my first child. ”

Durin's expression was vivid, "Wow, this is the first good news I heard today, you must love your wife and family." ”

Eric nodded, "Yes, I love them more than anything else. As Durin said, no matter what he was hiding, Durin was able to search for his information through various channels. Rather than turning things around that had begun to improve, it was better to follow Dohrin's words, and he gradually relaxed a lot less nervous about these ordinary dialogues and talking about his family, which he was most concerned about.

"I also have family, and I, like you, love them more than anything else. So, I want to give them the best thing in the world, even if they want the sun, one day I will use a thing that can fly into the sky, and I will pick a corner of the sun and give it to them. Durin watched Eric finish his cigarette and gave him another one, "Let's talk about you, are you busy with work, how much is your salary? Oh, I don't want to find out what work you've done, it's the same as just now, just talk, you just think I'm curious." ”

At this time, Durin felt very strange to Eric, he couldn't say, "I'm very busy at work, and I often don't be at home for a long time, so I have to say I'm sorry for my family." As for the salary, it is actually not very much, sixty-six yuan a month, and if you perform field work, there is a subsidy of three yuan a day. Originally, he should have stopped when he said this, but he didn't know what force drove Eric, he added, "So everyone is competing for the opportunity to work in the field, if you can go out for a month, all the income adds up to about two hundred yuan." ”

"Two hundred?", Durin sighed lightly, and shook his head and said, "Very presumptuous, I think you are pitiful...... , yes, pathetic. You have to leave your family for a month for 200 yuan, and you have to take a high risk, maybe at any time your family will lose a beloved son, a reliable husband, and a great father!", as he said this, Durin took out two 100-dollar bills from his pocket, then lit them with a lighter, stretched out his hand to light a cigarette for Eric, and with a faint smile, he looked directly into Eric's eyes, "Look, it's been a month!"
