Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 9. Two options

There was a "pop", and a document was slammed on the desk.

A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face dressed in a black and red military uniform with three golden five-pointed stars on his collar loosened his collar vigorously, and then pointed at the Chi team and Mu Chen in front of him with trembling fingers, and kept nodding hatefully: "Okay! That's a good job! Chi Jiufeng, you are getting more and more promising! Do you dare to go out on a mission without permission? ”

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Mu Chen pretended to be embarrassed and coughed and said, "Minister Li, you are angry, I asked the pool team for this ......."

However, before Mu Chen's words were finished, Minister Li stretched out his palm and stood in the air and said, "Mu Chen, let me tell you, don't play this game with me, is it time for Chi Jiufeng to stand up and take responsibility?" Don't think I don't know that you two are always working against each other on the surface, but it's good to have a tacit understanding in private! ”

After speaking, Minister Li took a big breath and continued: "You want to make a trivial matter for me, right?" Your responsibility is naturally found by Director Chen of the Halle Institute, you must know that this matter is far from being as simple as you see, as the prototype material of the new weapon, the Source Spirit Cone can be used at will? Is it a sentence that can be solved by being willing to be punished for exceeding one's authority? ”

It seemed that the more he talked, the more angry he became, Minister Li sat on the chair, rubbing his brows vigorously with his hands, and didn't even want to look at the two big living people standing in front of him.

Chi Jiufeng, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly took off the only golden five-pointed star from his collar and put it on the desk: "Minister, Jiufeng voluntarily admits punishment and degrades without any reason to explain!" After speaking, his legs were brought together, and his body was straight, and his hands were crossed on his back waist, his face was full of seriousness.

Minister Li looked at the golden five-pointed star on the desk, then at Chi Jiufeng in front of the desk, and suddenly smiled angrily: "Yo? You also played the general for me, didn't you? Are you downgraded? Who led the Devourer 748 Elite Team after you were relegated? Who are you downgrading to be responsible for the execution of Project Overphagogy? If you are downgraded, you just know that I have nothing to do with you, so you two dare to cut you first! ”

Seeing Minister Li's appearance, Mu Chen's eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a faint smile: "How is it possible, Minister Li has always been our most beloved leader, how dare we cut it first and then play it?" At that time, it was really too late to ask for instructions, but I discussed it with Chi Jiufeng, and I already had a preliminary plan to make up for it! After Mu Chen finished speaking, he began to stare at Minister Li's facial expression.

"What to see, there is P to put it quickly, and there is something to say quickly!" Minister Li glanced at Mu Chen, knowing that he was hooking his interest, so he simply scolded by getting off the slope.

In fact, Minister Li himself knew that he really couldn't punish the two too harshly, after all, the over-devouring plan involved too many levels, and there were not many capable and authoritative people in the No. 6 Underworld Castle.

Maybe...... This is the so-called means of control!

Knowing that his little caution was to get an axe in front of Minister Li, Mu Chen still smiled and stabbed Chi Jiufeng with his elbow, and then raised his wrist to fiddle for a while, and after about ten seconds, a holographic stereoscopic image appeared in the office, and layers of three-dimensional logical relationship diagrams were displayed, and at the same time, Mu Chen also began his own explanation.

……

In the silver-gray metal passage, Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out his head and scanned his lower pupils on the electronic screen, and after checking and confirming his identity, the metal door in front of him opened automatically.

Inside, there was an empty metal plaza, with only four devourers in black and red uniforms standing guard in the cloister near the top, and in the center of the metal plaza was a glass room that was transparent on all sides.

Silently walked to the front of the room, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the furnishings inside, and exhaled lightly, but suddenly didn't know how to speak, and stood there stunned for a while.

In the glass room, Zhang He sat in the corner curled up in white, burying his whole face in his knees between his chest and abdomen, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that his whole body was full of a cold dead silence.

Especially Zhang He's hair, the original black hair has now turned into a silver-gray color, you must know that this is only less than 24 hours after he came out of the medical cabin, people say that mourning is greater than heart death, only after suffering a major blow, will there be a phenomenon of white head overnight.

Although Zhang He was only 18 years old and did not turn white overnight, the silver-gray hair also added a sense of sadness and vicissitudes to it, Mu Xiaoxiao believed that his eyes buried in his chest and abdomen must be hollow, godless, and even confused.

"Zhang He, since you can control yourself now, I want to ask, about your sister Zhang Luoyi, do you need my help arranging anything?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked softly.

I don't know why, when she saw Zhang He in the glass room, she suddenly had a restrained feeling, you must know that this is unlikely for her ordinary personality.

Although Mu Xiaoxiao was holding her hands nervously with each other at the moment, she was not a little girl who had never been in love, she was sure that this was not heart-pounding nervousness, but more like a palpitation from pity for Zhang He's bumpy fate.

Yes, at least in Mu Xiaoxiao's opinion, it is Zhang He's tragic life that cannot be described in words that causes her to be so cramped and uneasy now.

"It seems that I am still too old in the greenhouse, and maybe I have seen too little misery!" Mu Xiaoxiao exhaled lightly, and when she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, her eyes that had been raised again became a little sharper.

Those who know her are well aware of Mu Xiaoxiao's character, and the most commendable thing is not her ability to be a policeman, but her self-reflection, and she can always quickly find the root of the problem.

Obviously, Mu Xiaoxiao, who has recorrected the state in her heart, is still a little nervous, but she is already much better than just now, and she can realize the adjustment of herself so quickly, I have to say that she can become a superintendent at the age of 26, in addition to being outside her home, it comes more from her personal self.

"Please, please tell her that my mother and I are dead!" Zhang He in the room suddenly replied in a low voice.

Hearing Zhang He's answer, Mu Xiaoxiao's willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he wondered: "Are they all dead?" ”

"Yes, they're all dead!" Mu Xiaoxiao never thought that Zhang He would give such an answer.

You know, because he was in charge of this case with high confidentiality authority, Mu Xiaoxiao carefully read all the information related to Zhang He, and knew his family situation very well, as an adopted son, he was actually only about half a year older than his titular sister Zhang Luoyi, especially Zhang He has been very sensible since he was a child, a bit of a teenager and an old man, and he is even more spoiled by his sister who grew up together, and he has nothing to say about his good feelings.

So Mu Xiaoxiao never thought that Zhang He at this moment would be able to give such an answer ruthlessly.

"But......" Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say something to persuade Zhang He, but when she opened her mouth, she was suddenly stunned.

Yes, even if she thinks about it a little, she knows that perhaps telling her sister that the news of Zhang He's death with her mother is the best explanation.

After all, no one knows what Zhang He's fate will be next, and everything he and his adoptive mother Zhang Qiulian have experienced, Zhang He blames all the responsibility on himself, so under the painful torment, it doesn't seem too much to say that he died with his adoptive mother!

Biting his lip silently, Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Zhang He curled up in the glass room, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Just as the two fell into an awkward silence, Chi Jiufeng and Mu Chen both stood behind Mu Xiaoxiao.

Coughing slightly, Mu Chen interrupted the almost frozen silence and said softly, "Just follow Zhang He's idea and reply to his sister!" ”

Then Mu Chen crossed Mu Xiaoxiao, opened the glass room and walked in, and when he walked in front of Zhang He, he slowly squatted down: "It's not terrible for people to die, but it's the most terrible thing for people to be alive, but the soul is dead!" ”

"You know what? In our thousands of years of Chinese history, my favorite sentence, that is, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feather, this sentence fully marks the yardstick of the meaning of our life, maybe after you really die, you can't see the evaluation of your life by future generations, but at least during your life, it is enough for you to do your life without regrets as much as possible, isn't it? The process is the most important thing in life! ”

However, Mu Chen said such a long paragraph, but Zhang He did not react, his head was still deeply rooted in his chest and abdomen, and he was curled up in the corner of the glass room.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing weakly, and the glass room's tests of his vital signs showed that everything was normal, Mu Chen would probably wonder if he was dead or even stiff.

Silently exhaled, Mu Chen seemed to have fallen into an awkward silence, trying his best to organize the language he wanted to express, but then Chi Jiufeng walked quickly in front of Zhang He, lifted it up, and pressed it against the wall in the room.

Looking at Zhang He, who was still holding his head low and not reacting, Chi Jiufeng frowned and said: "I look down on the waste of the walking dead, I obviously have a target of hatred, but I will only feel sorry for myself here, now I will give you two ways, either put away your little pitiful emotions, join my Devourer 748 elite team, wait for the opportunity to find the target and take revenge, or follow Mu Chen back to your medical cabin, wait to be sliced and studied, give you three minutes to consider, you choose!" ”

After saying that, Chi Jiufeng let go of his hand, and Zhang He also slid down the wall and sat on the ground again.

Immediately followed by the three minutes that seemed to be the most tormenting in this glass room, at least Mu Xiaoxiao, who had witnessed all this in his eyes, felt so, and when the three minutes were about to end, Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Zhang He, who had not moved, finally raised his head.

And the next scene seems to have become the most memorable picture in Mu Xiaoxiao's life, she firmly believes that it is precisely because of Chi Jiufeng's multiple-choice question that this already bad and crazy world has another madman full of hatred in her heart.

Zhang He, who slowly raised his head, his eyes changed again into blue and white vertical beast pupils, but he asked in a cold voice like the Nine Hells, "Will you really help me find Lin Haotian and Yasha?" ”
