Chapter 15: The Little Monster Looks for His Mother
Ke Junxia fled back to the hotel, and suddenly felt a little guilty, no matter how Lin Quan is, he is also a girl, and he may be sad to be rejected so bluntly.
Speaking of being a bounty hunter and reading, Ke Junxia has a lot of experience, but he is a beginner in love.
The first half of sophomore year was a watershed moment.
From his freshman year to the first half of his sophomore year, Ke Junxia lived as happy and dissolute as an ordinary college student, but one day in his sophomore year, he suddenly woke up and spent all his spare time working on vacation. Because he suddenly found that falling in love, spending money and energy and alienating his brothers, it was really worth the loss.
In this way, it is also regrettable that Ke Junxia missed the potentially romantic season in his life.
It didn't take long for Ke Junxia to excuse himself for rejecting Lin Quan's guilt for rejecting Lin Quan tonight.
In fact, this is also the most common view and legend of mainstream human society: most mutants like to marry ordinary humans or do that, sometimes it is okay not to fall in love, because it is said that this can dilute the mutant genes in their bodies, and it is said that the happiest thing for them is to see their children more like ordinary humans than themselves. But this is also said on both sides, if ordinary humans see that their children are more like mutants, I am afraid there will not be so much happiness.
Thinking about it like this, Ke Junxia felt a lot more at ease, took a bath, and fell asleep quickly.
When he got up the next day, Ke Junxia thought that he had made an appointment with Lin Quan to talk about the hearing today, and his guilt rose again, but when he saw Lin Quan, he found that she was as official as usual, far more intellectually mature than Ke Junxia imagined, and the distinction between public and private was clear.
So this relationship officially ended.
At noon, the lieutenant sent another message asking Ke Junxia to go to the Falcon squadron's office for a meeting. Ke Junxia went on time.
At this time, there were almost dozens of people gathered at the door of the Falcon Squadron's office, most of them were bounty hunters with copper qualifications, and it turned out that the Falcon Squadron was preparing to carry out another round-up activity after the last operation was frustrated, and it needed to be controlled in a large area, so it was doing recruitment periphery. Ke Junxia was invited, so he didn't care so much, and was about to squeeze to the door, but was yelled at by several strong men: "Line up at the back!" β
Ke Junxia was stunned for a moment, but he heard almost everyone echo in unison: "That's it!" Line up in the back! β
Ke Junxia didn't want to be angry, and thought that he would go in first, so he obediently returned to the back of the team, but after a while, because there were many people, he became the middle of the team again.
The Falcon Squadron is an elite gold medal team, and it rarely recruits partners in normal times, but this time it not only recruits on a large scale, but also provides some equipment, so it is natural that there are many applicants, but most of the people who come are hunters with copper qualifications, very few with silver qualifications, and even if there are none, it is estimated that they will not line up here, after all, it is a matter of miscellaneous fiber.
It is estimated that there was almost an hour in line before it was Ke Junxia's turn to register, but the guy in charge of registration glanced at Ke Junxia with his eyes and said disdainfully: "I don't even have a copper qualification, I didn't say you, you newcomers, you are eager for quick success, and you want to hug your thighs and rub your experience points all day long." β
As he spoke, he was quite proud, as if to deliberately show off, stretched his waist, and straightened the third-level silver badge on his chest with his hand, which was brand new, as if it had not been obtained for a long time.
Ke Junxia was about to explain, when he suddenly heard a woman shouting his name, he looked up and was startled, the voice was a woman, all the exposed parts of the clothes were covered with bandages, and it was estimated that the inside of the clothes was also a uniform mummy, but it was a one-eyed child wearing a black blindfold.
Ke Junxia remembered her, she was one of the members of the Falcon team who was injured in the last operation, and the only female hunter among the high-level hunters.
At that time, she was the most seriously injured, injured one eye, and almost went into shock, but she didn't expect to regain her mobility so quickly.
Ke Junxia remembered that her name was Zhang Xi, nicknamed Coconut. Unexpectedly, she was in a semi-coma at the time, but she still remembered Ke Junxia, who was playing for Irina at that time, and was worthy of being a first-class bounty hunter.
Coconut didn't come to reminisce about the past, she puffed up, pulled Ke Junxia out of the line, and complained: "Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, you are queuing up here." β
Ke Junxia had the intention to make a joke, so he said: "Didn't you say that you would give away equipment for free, I'll come and try it." β
Unexpectedly, the woman coconut didn't have a sense of humor, and only said: "Can you be a consultant to the lieutenant, and you are still worried about not having equipment?" As she spoke, she dragged Ke Junxia away, her hand was as strong as a red-hot iron hook, and Ke Junxia couldn't break free, so she was dragged away by the coconut in such a faceless way.
Although Ke Junxia was very faceless, he was envied by the rest of the people in line, and theyβeven the Falcon member in charge of the registration were a little suspicious that something was wrong with their ears, did they hear it wrongβwhat was the origin of this person, who was actually going to be a consultant to the famous lieutenant?
The coconut was almost thrown and threw Ke Junxia into the conference room.
There were only about ten people in the room, including the lieutenant, including two mummies, who were supposed to be wounded who had been discharged early, like Coconut.
Everyone laughed when they saw Ke Junxia's embarrassed appearance, and then continued their discussion, and the lieutenant only smiled at Ke Junxia, which was regarded as a greeting.
Ke Junxia suddenly felt that he couldn't come, and it had no impact on the outcome of this meeting, no wonder, all the people present were the core figures of the Falcon Squadron, compared to them, Ke Junxia was just a nobody, it was unprecedented to be able to participate in this kind of meeting, do you expect others to wait? .
Coconut threw Ke Junxia a piece of material, and then actively joined the meeting. Ke Junxia looked through the information, and it turned out to be Irina's appraisal report, so he read it very carefully. But at the same time, he also noticed the content of the meeting, who made one heart and two uses is the basic skill of Xueba.
In fact, there are only two topics for the meeting, one is to estimate the next time the monster will appear or where it may hide; The second is that since it is impossible to capture an adult alive, what kind of weapons are needed to destroy this monster.
The first point is that everyone has different opinions, and they can't get results for a while; But there are only two opinions on the second issue: one is the use of chemical weapons, that is, poison gas; The other is the use of arson weapons.
The first opinion was quickly rejected, not to mention that poison gas is difficult to obtain, and even if it is obtained, there is still the problem of declaring the right to use it, not to mention that chemical weapons are very unstable weapons, and if they are not done well, they will harm the surrounding civilians. And the most important point is that in Irina's forensic examination, it was determined that this monster has a strong resistance to poison and surprisingly high cell activity, which means that chemical weapons are not necessarily effective against it.
It seems that the only way to do this is to use a simple, crude and ancient method, arson.
This suggestion was finally approved by the lieutenant, and the legal counsel and clerks were immediately sent to make a report on the application and use of high-powered weapons and a stop-loss plan, and then everyone returned to the first question: where to find monsters.
Everyone argued fiercely about this, and then the argument escalated into a quarrel, and the quarrel almost degenerated into a fight, but fortunately, the lieutenant's prestige was high, and a lion's roar was all suppressed, so everyone fell into a cold war, and those who drank tea drank tea, those who took medicine took medicine, and those who snooze snooze, and no one spoke for a while.
The lieutenant suddenly smiled weirdly, set his eyes on Ke Junxia, and said, "There is still one of us here who has not expressed an opinion. So everyone's eyes were focused on Ke Junxia, he felt that he was slowly being scorched, but fortunately, someone let out a few sneers, and finally gave this scene a little warmth. Ke Junxia felt that his face was hot, and his heart was pounding.
The lieutenant said to Ke Junxia: "Xiao Ke, this case is about your mother, if you have any ideas, you can talk about them here." β
Ke Junxia heard an "oh" sound from someone in the meeting, which seemed to mean: It turns out that he is the son of the victim, no wonder he also came to the meeting.
Ke Junxia looked at the map drawn by everyone with a ball of flowers, his brows furrowed, but he still didn't speak. The lieutenant asked, "If you have something to say, you have the lowest qualifications here, and even if you say it wrong, everyone won't blame you." β
Ke Junxia's gaze tentatively swept across the venue, and found that there were actually many people who nodded along with the lieutenant's words, and their eyes were a little kind and friendly, but it was only the disdain of "not seeing like a child".
It seems that as a nobody, it is not without any benefits, at least everyone can sometimes not care about your mistakes.
Seeing that Ke Junxia had not spoken, Coconut seemed to be a little anxious, she patted the map and said, "Just tell me which of these opinions you agree with." β
Ke Junxia then spread his hands and said: "Actually, I don't agree with any of them, these opinions have made common mistakes, and the whole general direction is wrong." β
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, as soon as Ke Junxia's words came out, the entire conference room suddenly boiled, and everyone shouted and accused, Ke Junxia couldn't hear a complete sentence clearly, but the general meaning was understood: You kid who doesn't know the height of the sky.
The lieutenant maintained order again, and then asked Ke Junxia: "All of you here are your seniors and have rich experience, you said that everyone's direction is wrong, so tell me your opinion?" β
"You say! You said! Suddenly, someone agreed, and there was a big reason to kick Ke Junxia out.
Ke Junxia was a little nervous, he had already made up the scene of himself being thrown out of the conference room by everyone and sticking to the wall and slowly sliding down, but he still stabilized his mind and slowly said two words: "Check back." β
Then there was another uproar.
"Backwards? Pour wine! β
"Light a cigarette!"
"Rub your shoulders!"
"Step on your back!"
The atmosphere was a little more relaxed than just now, everyone smiled and said their favorite entertainment, and when everyone was almost done, the coconut suddenly said again: "Kneel and lick!" So everyone burst into laughter again, and some people were already laughing and slapping the table.
The lieutenant also laughed with everyone, and Ke Junxia, who was laughing, wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
Wait until the lieutenant has laughed enough before announcing a break and a meeting in half an hour. Everyone then dispersed, and when someone passed by Ke Junxia, they would trollingly pat him on the shoulder and say, "Kneel and lick." β
Ke Junxia felt that he shouldn't have come to this meeting, anyway, his words would only become a laughing stock for everyone. And he still has a lot of things to do, since he came back from the abyss, he hasn't been home, although Lin Quan has said that he has taken care of everything, but he still wants to go back to see in person, especially the orphans and widows of the neighbors who died to help him, I really don't know how they are now.
Anyway, since this meeting can't go on, and there are no other arrangements, it's better to go home and have a look.
Ke Junxia made up his mind and was about to leave, but he was grabbed by the iron hook hand of the coconut and said, "You come with me." β
Ke Junxia wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't break free from the coconut's powerful hand, and it was difficult to make a big move, so he had to be obediently taken away by the coconut.
The lieutenant received Ke Junxia in his private lounge.
Here, the lieutenant's attitude is not the same as outside, treating Ke Junxia as a junior, and his words are full of encouragement, rather than ridiculing him as a newcomer.
He politely beckoned Ke Junxia to sit across from him and asked Coconut to help him make a cup of coffee.
Coconut is also a third-level gold qualification, but making coffee for Ke Junxia, a hunter who doesn't even have copper, is a great favor, and she doesn't see anything unhappy.
The lieutenant smiled and asked Ke Junxia: "Xiao Ke, those people outside are all rough people, and they have never read any books until today by daring to fight and kill." Sometimes, I follow them, but here are just the three of us, can you tell me in detail what your reverse check is going on? β
Ke Junxia was a little annoyed, so he said slowly: "The key to pouring tea is tea leaves, and the second is boiling water, according to different tea leaves, the temperature of boiling water, and the brewing time ......."
"Speak well! This is a chance for you. The red-hot iron hook of the coconut grabbed Ke Junxia's shoulder again, and pinched it hard, but this time Ke Junxia was on guard, his shoulder was unloaded to avoid it, and then said: "As for kneeling and licking, I really have no experience." β
Coconut: "Huh? With a sigh, obviously I didn't expect Ke Junxia to have the ability to unload her strength, so I wanted to try Ke Junxia again, and the lieutenant smiled in time and said: "Okay, okay, there's not much time, let's hurry up and get serious." β
Coconut was unwilling, so he said: "That is, if it weren't for the tactical guidance of the entire squadron, including the Special Investigation Bureau, only the three people in this room could say the three words backwards, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to enter this room at all." β
Ke Junxia saw that he had already reached this point, so he stopped talking nonsense, and said: "Actually, Your Excellency Irina's appraisal report makes it very clear, although this monster grows rapidly and is huge, its age is not more than ten years old, and its main gene is still human, that is to say, it is still a child, we have to treat it as a human child, not just a monster." β
Ke Junxia said this, paused, wanted to see the attitude of the lieutenant and the coconut, but the two of them seemed to listen, and when they saw him stop, the lieutenant encouraged: "It's a little interesting to go on." β
Ke Junxia was affirmed, and said with confidence: "Since it is a child, we have to use the child's thinking to predict its whereabouts, a child, has been attacked, very scared, where will he go?" β
The coconut said, "You mean it's coming home?" β
Ke Junxia nodded and said, "Yes, he is home, so we have to check backwards to see where she was born, and maybe find her mother by the way, a bigger monster." β
