Chapter 705: Who Knows My Mind
Cheng Lin turned his head when he heard this, and his expression changed slightly, as if he was organizing his language:
"Actually...... I had imagined this scenario as early as the night before I returned from the capital...... Of course, that was the worst guess, just didn't expect it...... Things are really going to get to this point. β
"Because of that 'magician'?" Nuwa asked.
If someone from the Special Affairs Department stood by at this moment and heard Nuwa spit out the word, he would probably be shocked.
Because as of now, there is still no public information about the "magician".
Yes, even in that "news", the source of the "evidence" was not disclosed - after all, espionage is not honorable to say.
And the reason why Nuwa knew was because of a "small favor" that Cheng Lin asked her to help.
On the day he stayed in the No. 16 Spirit Land, Cheng Lin brought Nuwa into the real world and asked her to help hack into the internal network of the Special Affairs Department.
This is not too difficult for a "super brain", even if it lacks the support of fertile soil.
Through Cheng Lin's internal communicator, as well as the account password and URL in her possession, Nuwa successfully invaded, and according to Cheng Lin's request, began to intercept and crack some of the messages exchanged without attracting attention.
This was originally just one of Cheng Lin's self-protection arrangements, but it didn't work out.
When the news of the "magician's" suicide was uploaded through the intranet, it was successfully learned by Nuwa.
The only pity is that the "magician" uses a special, independent device and network to transmit the evidence away, so it can't be perceived by Nuwa, but it also helps Cheng Lin understand the whole story.
"Yes and no." In the face of Nuwa's inquiry, Cheng Lin's answer was very vague, "I must admit that at first, I was indeed surprised, no...... It can also be described as frightened. When I joined the Special Management Department, I thought that as time went on, the connection between projection and my nature would sooner or later be revealed, especially in the ...... After something happened. β
"In short, I thought that my true identity would be revealed, and even if it wasn't discovered, I might be honest with each other as the cooperation deepened and the trust deepened. But...... I didn't expect it to be in this form anyway, and I didn't expect it to be ...... at this terrible time."
"At first, I was really surprised, thinking that things in this world were too coincidental, although ...... It seems so reasonable. But I've been thinking about it all day today, and I always feel that things may not be so simple. β
"Oh?" Nuwa was surprised.
Cheng Lin sat up suddenly, patted the dirt and weeds on his hands, and said seriously:
"I want to ...... Is all this Shi Shengcun's arrangement, you see, according to the report you intercepted, he handed over such evidence to Liang Jing to send, which in itself contains risks, heh, I even doubt that Liang Jing was guided by him in some way...... After all, she has always been safe. β
"Why do you think that? It doesn't make sense, it's not motivated. Nuwa disagreed.
Cheng Lin frowned, tried to phrase it, and said:
"It's not without motives, if you think about it, it's me sitting in his place, and now, although the disaster is slowly subsiding, it will pass, but what next? With such an unstable factor as me, will there be a second or third time? If I'm forbidden to turn on the projection from now on, won't I be worthless? β
"You're still a seven-pin." Nuwa said.
"What's the point of the Seven Pins? In the battle of the Pacific Ocean, the pattern of the world's cultivation world has been laid, aside from Shi Shengcun, there is also the seven grades of Liyang, and Bai Ye has also become an alliance, plus the second division has recently broken seven, this is the three...... Now that there are no strong enemies, what do you want so many seven products to do? Especially ...... like me, who hides secrets."
Cheng Lin continued:
"I'm too unstable, especially when I was in the disaster relief before, I mobilized the Fertile Soil Soldiers and the Elven Guards in a hurry...... This kind of power will probably make it difficult for people to sleep...... He asked me to leave the capital early, probably to prevent conflicts from erupting. β
Correspondingly, assuming that this matter was really arranged by him, then, first, he could take the opportunity to force out the spy who was hiding within the Special Department, and secondly, ...... Wouldn't it be an excellent opportunity to use public opinion to force all countries in the world to concentrate their efforts on solving me? β
Nuwa frowned and shook her head again:
But what's the benefit? Aren't they afraid that they will force you into a hurry and break the net? β
Cheng Lin shook his head:
"That's what I couldn't figure out, so I said it was just speculation, a guess without any evidence...... Perhaps, I was overhearted, after all, there are countless coincidences in this world. β
There was a brief silence.
In the valley, only the sound of the waterfall is non-stop, and the environment is exceptionally peaceful.
Cheng Lin let out a breath, changed his posture, smiled, and skipped the topic:
"I'm talking to you about this mainly to talk, and now, there's really no point in thinking about it."
"So?"
"So isn't it easy?" Cheng Lin patted the laptop on his lap and laughed at himself, "Now that the whole world is demanding to arrest the 'culprit', what other possibilities can there be under such great pressure?" Ignore it? Waiting for the world's sanctions? And then sit back and wait for the national economy to collapse? The Great Depression? Or war? Dragging more than a billion people into danger? Moreover, what about the pressure of public opinion in the country? In this projection, 100,000 people were killed in the Xia Kingdom alone, and the immediate family members of these 100,000 people combined, I am afraid that it will exceed one million people, and these million people will not agree? How is it possible to say yes?! Who is qualified to say yes for them? β
Cheng Lin's speed of speech became faster and faster, and he became more and more ...... Finally, he took a deep breath of cold air and said with a serious look in his eyes:
"If it were me, I would have made the same decision. Because there is no other choice. β
"But...... Why, then, did they delay their arrival and remain silent all day? Is it to raise manpower? Nuwa asked another question that she didn't quite understand.
Cheng Lin was silent when he heard this, raised his head, looked at the gradually sinking sun, and said softly:
"It does take time to raise manpower, after all, many of the masters of the first division are abroad, and it takes time to return...... But ......"
"But?"
But the most important reason is not so, but ...... They wanted me to leave on my own. Cheng Lin said.
"Leave?"
"yes, after all...... I'm a dangerous factor, even if the rest of the people can't figure it out, Shi Shengcun must understand that it is very difficult to take me down, and if he wants to take me down without causing casualties to civilians...... It's even harder......
It's forcing me, if a seven-rank realm makes trouble, the situation is likely to be uncontrollable, and the worst situation is ......
If I'm desperate to make projections...... So ......"
Cheng Lin seemed to laugh and said in a complicated tone:
"Who knows if the next projections will be safe or ...... Dangerous? β
"So, they were silent, and so, they gave me a whole day to escape, preferably abroad, in that case...... has an explanation of public opinion at home and abroad, and it will not really be 'dead and broken'...... In a sense, it's also a good thing for me. β
"However, you didn't go." Nuwa said.
Cheng Lin sighed and said with a smile:
"yes, I'm not leaving, let me guess, they know the look on my face when I'm sitting here fishing, and they'll probably be angry, and maybe sarcastic about me, like I'm young and naΓ―ve...... Stupid, can't figure out the situation or something...... Perhaps, they will think that I am waiting for their decision. β
"Isn't it?" Nuwa asked with her head sideways.
Cheng Lin was silent for a moment before he restrained his smile, looked at Nuwa, shook his head very seriously and said:
"Of course not. I was just...... Want to spend as much time as possible on the land...... After all, I've lived here for twenty years, and after that, it may be difficult to come back. β
A gust of wind rose on the shore of the lake, blowing the water like broken gold and sparkling.
In the beautiful valley, the night falls silently.
At this moment, Cheng Lin's mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and he took it out with some surprise and found that it was a text message.
clicked on, and when he saw the short and hurried line of text, he was obviously stunned, not expecting it.
And when he saw the sender's name, his face softened obviously, and then, he felt a little guilty.
"Hua Bei......" Cheng Lin read out the name softly, and then recalled that after the maelstrom deduction, he had secretly decided to make her live a peaceful and happy life, but now that he thinks about it, he probably can't finish it.
"Hua Bei?" Nuwa repeated the name with some confusion, and then saw Cheng Lin shaking at her with her mobile phone, "Well, someone is urging me to leave quickly." β
This sentence refers to the "Hua Bei" that is being used, and it also refers to the Shi Shengcun behind it.
"So what? Your decision? Nuwa asked.
Cheng Lin stood up when he heard this, dusted off the blades of grass and dust on his buttocks, and the He Jian inserted in the soil suddenly jumped up, floating in the air, making a buzzing sound, he didn't answer directly, just said:
"Let's go, it's time to leave after bothering here for so long."
"Where are you going?"
Cheng Lin hooked the corners of his mouth: "Go down to Jiangnan." β
β¦β¦
Capital.
Department of Special Management.
When the door of the conference room was pushed open, Shi Shengcun finally closed his eyes from the window.
"Situation?"
Hua Bei sent a message to her target.
"En," Shi Shengcun nodded, and then said, "What about Cheng Lin?" β
"Just detected, gone!"
"Oh?" Shi Shengcun was stunned, and then looked down at the investigation report on Hua Bei and Cheng Lin on the table, and didn't know what to say for a while, it was just an attempt not to have too much hope, but he never thought it would be so effective.
Shaking his head, he turned to ask:
"Do you know which direction he's going?"
"I know, I don't know why, he still has a satellite communicator, so we can still locate him at all times......"
The man explained, then looked at it with the tactical tablet-like device in his hand, and said:
"At the moment...... He...... He went to the high-speed rail station? Wait a minute...... He, just now, he used his ID card to buy a ticket to Lianshi! β
"Tickets?" Shi Shengcun asked incredulously.
