On the way back, Yu Qian and Ren Yuan took a detour to their home that was blown up. Despite the publicity that the explosion was caused by an aging leak in a gas pipeline, residents still have lingering fears about the two explosions in a row. Walking in the community, twelve out of ten people are discussing yesterday's explosion.

Naturally, there are many open-minded (yīn) strategists who talk about public relations in terms of the international situation, some of them talk about terrorist attacks, and some talk about enemy espionage operations. There was even an old man who looked to be eighty years old, standing on the flower bed and saying impassionedly

"Comrades, we must tighten this and this, this string of class struggle! Yesterday this was absolutely, this this, this reactionary action of the hostile forces..."

A few idlers at the bottom followed the noise, and some young people also covered their mouths and chuckled, holding their mobile phones and making laughing sounds. Yu Qian's head ached for a while.

"Teacher Liu, what are you doing?" Yu Qian dismissed the idler who was making fun of him, and looked at the old man who was standing on the flower bed with a dark face.

"Yo, little fish." The old man helped his glasses and got down to the flower bed with Yu Qian's support, "Have you caught any enemy elements who are engaged in sabotage?" ”

"What are you talking about, Mr. Liu, this time it is caused by the aging of the pipes. There are so many young people in the community, don't make a mess when you're old, okay? ”

"You guys, no, no." The old man listened to Yu Qian's words, and his face instantly sank, "At the beginning, it was all this and this, and the Public Security Bureau was all servants of the people, serving the people." If there is an enemy element, we will arrest him, and the people will judge him! Now you know that fooling us people doesn't do anything practical at all. That tube has been fine for decades, why did it suddenly break? ”

"What you said about it, the pipe hasn't broken for decades, is it? It doesn't break suddenly, can't I give you a report? Yu Qian said half-persuasively and half-disciplinedly: "Can you always save us some snacks?" Spread false claims here all day long. It's not good for you to go yo-yo and dance. ”

Under Yu Qian's persuasion, the old man muttered and left (shēn), and the old man's complaint could be heard far away. Looking at the shadow of the old man in the distance, Ren Yuan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully

"This uncle, it's a bit interesting, I can see through the essence of things at once."

"A bag of salt was lost at the commissary downstairs, and in his eyes it was all an enemy special operation." Yu Qian said angrily: "If you like it, you can have a good chat with him." ”

Ren Yuan smiled and didn't reply, and the two of them walked to Yu Qian's house with gossip flying in the sky. Several people from the engineering department of the Coyote Brigade of the disaster department were in full swing to renovate, Yu Qian counted the valuables, signed the damage report and left.

After some tossing, it was already dusk when he returned to Villa No. 6, and after the meal, Jiang Ziwen came down with the computer and started a new round of combat meetings of Ren Yuan's team after a long absence.

"Regarding the previous work of the S City Thunder Dragon Brigade, the mercenary team has discovered new suspicions. Commander Zhang sorted it out and asked you to take a look. Jiang Ziwen handed the two printed documents to Ren and Yu.

"Oh, a clue about the smuggling route?" Ren Yuan roughly swept it and said casually, "This Su Xiaoyu is made by (cāo)." ”

"You don't seem surprised?" Yu Qian asked

"There's nothing surprising about this, I've seen a lot of things to be surprised about." Ren Yuan pouted and didn't pay attention.

"Don't you think it's a major discovery?" Yu Qian frowned and said, "Aren't you happy to have found a new clue?" ”

"Of course, it's a major discovery, but..."Ren Yuan said boredly, "Discovering a new clue just means that a new job has appeared, what's there to be happy about." ”

"How do I feel that since yesterday you didn't catch that woman named Medusa, yours (qíng)

Something is wrong. Yu Qian put down the document in his hand and asked solemnly, "Are you hiding something (qíng) from me?" ”

"Of course I have something to hide from you, and there are a lot of them." Ren Yuan rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, why do you think Shangguan Hong wants to break you up this afternoon?" I don't mind revealing these secrets, do you want to hear it? ”

"You!" Yu Qian was choked by Ren Yuan and couldn't speak, everyone was silent for a long time, and Yu Qian said again, "I don't suspect you of anything, it's just that I don't think you (qíng) are high, and I want to ask you what's wrong." Although it is only a temporary patchwork, we can now be regarded as comrades-in-arms who fought side by side in the same trench. I don't want us to be just a watcher and a watched-after relationship, I know I'm poor, but I'm trying, and I want to be a reliable helper for you. ”

"Regardless of what you think in your heart, I think at least we will have the same goal in the short term." Yu Qian pointed to Jiang Ziwen, who was sitting next to him, "Although we don't have much strength, we can still provide you with a lot of help in the field we are familiar with." I don't want it to end up, I just want it to be the same as yesterday, just a tool you used to deceive the Ministry. ”

"If you think I'm a burden, you can ask the ministry to replace me, I joined the disaster ministry is also a good awareness, with the belief that I will die, not to be a mascot."

Looking at the solemn Yuqian of the table (qíng), Ren Yuan was stunned for a while, moved the corners of his mouth and said haha

"There's no need to be so serious, don't worry..."

"I'm very serious, I joined the Ministry of Disasters for my reasons, not to be a boring pendant for whom." Yu Qian looked at Ren Yuan with sharp eyes, and said word by word, "I'm not joking with you. ”

Ren Yuan restrained the smile on his face, stared at Yu Qian and Jiang Ziwen for a moment, and laughed silently

"Well, I apologize for yesterday's incident. I shouldn't have lied to you, and although I could have made many excuses, you were not wrong, and I did not take you into account in my plan. I apologize for what I did before. ”

"It's really inconvenient for me to tell you about Shangguan Hong, but you can rest assured that the problem with me (qíng) is not because of yesterday." Ren Yuan stretched out his hand to support his forehead, rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "It can't be said that there is no connection, the main thing is that it reminds me of some things in the past (qíng)." Strange to say, my memories are like seawater, and generally there are no memories that can pry my mind. Maybe it's because of what happened not long ago, so I'm still a little emotional. ”

"It's good that it doesn't affect the rest of the work." Yu Qian also softened his tone, "I'm not explaining anything to you, I just hope you can see us as common comrades-in-arms." ”

"Hmm." Ren Yuan nodded silently, and said thoughtlessly, "Ten years ago, I dealt with the Academy. ”

"Huh?" Yu Qian suddenly heard this and was a little puzzled

"Yesterday's inhuman, named Medusa, is an academic." Ren Yuan explained: "Have you seen the file of Operation Resistance ten years ago? Of the four Adventists who appeared in S City at that time, one of them was an academic faction. ”

"Well, what unpleasant experiences have you had?" Yu Qian asked tentatively

"What do you mean by that?" Ren Yuan hesitated slightly, "At that time, in fact, it was not as recorded in the archives that I acted independently. In addition to me, I also have a member of the Thunder Brigade as my support. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Yu Qian and Jiang Ziwen looked at each other in surprise

"Of course, not everything can be written in a publicly available file." Ren Yuan smiled and said, "It's not a good thing, why bother to have one more person in the water." ”

"Who is that person?"

"Wounded years." Ren Yuan said lightly

"Ten years ago?" Yu Qian said in surprise, "I thought that he was the garrison of S City that he took over after the end of the resistance operation. ”

"On the official record, indeed

So. Ren Yuan said calmly, "A lot of things happened at that time, and I am not a person who will regret what I did. But I have to admit that 10 years ago it was a tragedy. ”

"Oh." Yu Qian didn't feel much about this, and the bloody scene that happened in the Inhuman Autonomy Society before was still deeply in his memory. He didn't think that Ren Yuan would be a good person who respected life.

"What the hell happened that even you would think it was a tragedy?" Jiang Ziwen asked bluntly, and as soon as the words came out, he felt that his tone was a little inappropriate, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"The academy is a nascent organization, so in order to expand their power and influence as soon as possible, they have done a lot of miserable experiments."

"It's rare that you can use this kind of word...", even Yu Qian couldn't help but complain this time

"Oh, I mean, it's terrible for you, it's nothing to me." Ren Yuan knew that the two of them would be wrong, and said with a smile, "I said that tragedy is just an objective adjective, and because these experiments stimulated the wounded years, in the end, the entire academy was burned." ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Jiang Ziwenqi said, "How can this be called a tragedy? ”

"At that time, the research results of the academic school were already amazing, and I had expectations for them. It's a pity that everything was completely destroyed on that day. Ren Yuanyu said with regret, "If it develops to this day, maybe it will really be..."

Speaking of this, Ren Yuan sighed: "Today, I see again the person who claims to have inherited the mantle of the academy, but unfortunately, things are wrong, and all the achievements of the year have been cut off." ”

"You... Sentimental about this? Yu Qian asked with a dark face

"It's all sad, this is only part of it." Ren Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Don't talk about it, I don't seem to have anyone (xìng)." ”

Jiang Ziwen interjected and said, "Speaking of which, the research results of the previous academic school should have been kept in the Ministry of Disasters, right?" ”

"It's useless, it's impossible for the Ministry of Disasters to allow its own research institute to continue that kind of research." Ren Yuannunuzui, "If it wasn't for the academics who did too much, how could they anger the ministry and order it to be completely wiped out." ”

"You won't... How many people are secretly hiding, right? Yu Qian asked uncertainly

"What are you talking about, even if I hide a few, I don't have the strength to support their scientific research to continue..."Speaking of this, Ren Yuan suddenly paused, his eyes flashed, and he muttered, "Yes, if you say... But in that case... No, it doesn't make sense. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, that's all it is." Ren Yuan waved his hand and said, "I just regret that the research results of the academic school have been wasted, and I see that the Medusa who claims to be their heir has not been integrated into the essence. In the end, I haven't caught this successor I don't like, and I'm just a little unhappy. ”

"What did you just think?"

"Some very dangerous ideas, you still don't want to know, there are too many secrets that should not be said." Ren Yuan didn't mean to be perfunctory, and cleanly blocked the curiosity of Yuqian and Jiang Ziwen.

Suddenly the scene fell silent, Ren Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, Yu Qian and Jiang Ziwen were digesting the amazing inside story they had just heard, and kept speculating about what Ren Yuan meant by the words he swallowed back.

"By the way, what's going on with Ori and Autumn Carp Mo's (qíng)?" Ren Yuan Zhiqi (shēn) asked

Hearing this, Jiang Ziwen's face turned red, and he said in an unnatural tone

"Xiaoqiu, he woke up before dinner, but (qíng) Xu didn't want to lock himself in the house and didn't want to come out. Sister Weaving she... She'll be able to walk around this afternoon, but she's still weak, and you'll have eaten and gone back to the chuáng to rest before you come back. ”

Ren Yuanzhi didn't care about Jiang Ziwen's unnatural tone, and walked upstairs

"Just right, I'll go see Ori."
