Chapter Twenty-Five: Joining
When Qiu Tian heard this, he was shocked: what kind of organization could have mastered such a comprehensive information network to link the disappearance of a villager in a remote and impoverished village with a meteor flashing in the sky a month ago?! Ordinary people would never have imagined that the two would be related.
Qiu Tian said: "This celestial body is what the villagers call the demon star? ”
Comrade Liu said: "Yes. At midnight that day, two villagers in Huangjia Village happened to see the fall of the celestial body, indicating that the unknown celestial body fell near Huangjia Village. ”
Qiu Tian said: "Huang Sanmao thinks it's a baby, and Huang Lao Liu thinks it's a demon star." ”
Qiu Tian said: "We don't know what kind of celestial body this is, but those unknown life forms are afraid of light, and they must be creatures from the dark world. ”
Qiu Tian thought for a moment and said, "If there is a celestial body falling here, it should form an obvious crater when it lands, how can there be no such traces on the images taken by satellites?" ”
Comrade Liu said: "Judging from the descriptions of the villagers of Huangjia Village, this celestial body fell directly into the mountain, and there is such a possibility that it did not fly, which shows that when this celestial body fell to the ground, it only had a very small volume and very small mass, and it fell into the mountain stream and woods, which was very hidden, so there would be no obvious collision marks on the surface. ”
Qiu Tian said: "However, if this creature is afraid of light, then how can this creature not be wiped out by the light and heat generated by the friction of the atmosphere when the celestial body passes through the atmosphere?" ”
Comrade Liu made a straight face and said: "I can't think of this, how these life forms pass through the atmosphere and how they fall into the mountains, these mysteries are exactly what we need to investigate." ”
Qiu Tian secretly thought: Things are developing more and more bizarrely, what kind of celestial body is it? Where did it come from? What was that creature like?
There are too many questions to be answered, and the mystery can only be solved by finding that celestial body in the mountains.
Comrade Liu said: "According to Huang Sanmao's wife, after Huang Sanmao saw the celestial body falling, he wanted to make a fortune, so he went into the mountains the next day to look for the celestial body, and then he mutated. ”
Qiu Tian said: "This kind of thing is very dangerous, and it is still necessary for experts to do it." "Ordinary people, often driven by their lack of professional knowledge and curiosity, act recklessly (blindly) when confronted with mysterious events, causing disasters.
Comrade Liu made a straight face and said: "Yes, incidents like those in Huangjia Village always happen all over the country. ”
Qiu Tian was surprised: "How often does this kind of thing happen? For example, what kind of creature appeared? ”
Comrade Liu said coldly: "Well, our country has a vast territory and a vast territory, and all kinds of mysterious and strange incidents often occur. Such incidents occur not only in our country, but also in other countries, and there will be special special agencies responsible for dealing with all kinds of strange and dangerous incidents. These institutions, like these events, are extremely mysterious and extremely secretive. He continued: "This kind of work of ours is top secret, and these strange events often involve national security and cause social crises, and will be highly secret." For the sake of the needs of the country, to avoid panic among the common people, and to maintain the stability of the people's lives, these events will eventually be adapted into other extremely ordinary events, and the people will never see such a thing in Huangjiacun in various news media, and will never know the truth, and the things here are all confidential. We are people without identity, and our task is to deal with these mysterious and strange events, find out the truth of the events, solve all problems, and not let the situation worse. ”
Qiu Tian looked at Comrade Liu and asked, "Then why are you looking for me?" ”
Comrade Liu said coldly: "We want to replenish personnel, so we chose you." ”
Qiu Tian smiled and said, "Choose me?" There's nothing special about me, is there? What can I do? He continued: "I have never seen you, I have lived abroad for most of my life, I have not been back for many years, and this time I have only been back for a week, and you have come to me and brought me here." And I kept it in the dark, thinking that I was taking a military test, not knowing what exactly to do. Comrade Liu, the two of us have only known each other for five days,"
Comrade Liu said: "We know you very well. ”
Qiu Tian said: "Have you checked my information? ”
Comrade Liu had a gloomy face and said: "We have comprehensive information about you and have carefully examined your composition, although you are young, have multiple nationality status, and have not lived in China for a long time, you are still qualified to become our personnel. We also believe in your loyalty to the country. ”
Comrade Liu continued: "I know what country you have lived in since you were a child, how many famous military academies you have attended, and you have excellent grades, I know what you usually eat, and I know your family situation......
As soon as Qiu Tian heard the word "family", his expression immediately became sad, as if he was extremely reluctant to mention the matter, he was silent for a while, and said, "Comrade Liu, are you sure that the celestial body fell here?" ”
Seeing this, Comrade Liu said: "The scope of this fall was precisely calculated by the intelligence department, and the villagers of Huangjia Village saw it with their own eyes, so we can believe in its accuracy. ”
Qiu Tian said lightly: "You suddenly asked me to investigate this matter, and you didn't ask me if I agreed?" ”
Comrade Liu said coldly: "You don't want to, I can understand it. If you join us and do everything confidentially, you will have no identity, you will no longer have the opportunity to show up, you will no longer be able to pursue fame and fortune, and you will die at any time. You're young and probably won't like this kind of work. He continued: "Actually, this time I am inspecting you and Xia Yong, we have been paying attention to the two of you for a long time, and we happened to encounter the incident in Huangjia Village, so we used this operation to investigate whether you meet our requirements." But Xia Yong has already ......" Comrade Liu sighed, and his face seemed to have suddenly aged a lot.
Qiu Tian said: "Don't talk about this yet, since I have come this far, I will definitely complete this operation." ”
Comrade Liu looked at the tablet, the two went downhill, Qiu Tian looked at the vast mountains and lush forests, and thought: Finding a fallen celestial body in this huge mountain is really as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian continued to walk, getting closer and closer to the signal, and then there were clouds drifting in the sky again, and Comrade Liu looked at the weather conditions, and it was cloudy and turned to showers in the afternoon. They found that what appeared to be a flat and boundless forest ahead was actually undulating terrain with many deep ravines.
Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian climbed down a cliff, crossed a slightly gentle meadow, followed the tracking signal, and walked into a very deep ravine. This ravine is very wide, the trees are tall and dense, the branches and leaves are dense and opaque, covering the sky and the sun, and the ravine is dark and gloomy. Outside the ravine was a scorching day, and the ravine was dimly lit and windy. Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian cautiously walked forward along the signal, and walked into the woods in the ravine, where the weeds everywhere were half a man's height, very dense, and very quiet all around.
Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian moved forward attentively, the light in the ravine was dim, the vegetation was very dense, and the scope of lighting was very limited, and the light could not reach too far away. Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian gradually went deeper into the ravine, which was unusually quiet, as if isolated from the outside world.
Comrade Liu and Qiu Tian saw that the ravine was full of primitive dense forests, the terrain was quite gentle, and the terrain was not very complicated, but their feelings were getting worse and worse. They walked forward for a while, Qiu Tian suddenly stopped, there seemed to be something peeping at them in the dark woods, and it seemed to be cold in the ravine, Qiu Tian looked at Comrade Liu nervously, Comrade Liu nodded, it seems that those creatures have found them.
