Halfway through the meal, Caroline finally made up her mind and said, "I have news for you." ”

"What kind of news, so solemn." Ina replied with a smile.

"About Jill." Caroline reached for the apple piece placed in the center of the table, deliberately making the movement louder to ease some of the atmosphere, "I wanted to hide it, but I couldn't help it...... I went to Manhattan last night and couldn't find Candace, but I happened to bump into Jill. I almost got him to hang up. However, he has amnesia and only remembers a few bits and pieces, of which the most about you is the most. ”

She stopped to observe Ina and saw that Ina was cutting the steak one by one, cutting it and putting it firmly in her mouth.

"I bumped into Jill on the street in the afternoon. He's a little weird, but when you say it, you know he's like this because of his amnesia. Ina said first.

"So, he stayed with you all afternoon?" Caroline was surprised.

Ina shook her head: "I took him to the 'Blue Mandala', but he left after not sitting for a while. You know where Jill lives now, right? ”

Caroline nodded silently, "Live with me." ”

Next, the two didn't speak and enjoyed the rest of the steak to their heart's content. Usually, Caroline eats faster than Ina, so when Caroline finishes eating, Ina still has two small pieces of chopped steak on her plate. When Ina had chewed the last piece of steak, Caroline reached over and placed a piece of apple on Ina's plate.

"Sister, now that Jill has returned, it's time for you to live for yourself again. You don't have to worry about my feelings. You know, I'm not going to give up so quickly, we're playing fair. Caroline said solemnly.

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

What a familiar word "fair play" is. I remember moving to a new house when I was a child, and in order to compete for a room that was not facing the sun, they bet that whoever ran a kilometer first would live in the room. The two worked hard, and as a result, Ina reached the finish line first. Unconvinced, Caroline asks Ina to promise her to stay with him one day a week. In the end, Ina agreed.

"But it's too late, Carolyn." Ina got up and turned to stand side by side with the stool, "You know, I can't get around Beckett. As for Jill, he just has too strong an obsession now, and it would be good to wait for him to recover. He has amnesia now, and if he encounters such a situation, there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience, so you have to take care of him more. ”

Caroline was silent. She sat motionless for a full minute before she moved, reaching for the fourth apple: "Then, can you let go of your obsession?" I don't think it's fair for you to do this to Beckett, and even more so to Jill. I really hope you're happy. ”

"I will." Ina returned to her seat, and as she sat down, she looked at Caroline and smiled, "Don't talk about that. Actually, you and Candace were just a little bit away from it last night, just before you bumped into Jill, she was leaving. She was chased down several alleys by Jill. Today, also thanks to Jill, Candace and I had a chance to have an in-depth conversation. ”

"No wonder friends at the police station said that Candace said she had met a bad guy last night, and it turned out that the bad guy was Jill. Although Candace is a little naughty, she is becoming more sensible and getting closer to you. ”

"Same as you. We'll sleep together tonight. Ina said.

The next morning, Ina and Caroline got up, washed up and walked into the dining room. There were two people sitting facing each other in the chairs, and Beckett was sitting facing the door, and the man sitting with his back to him couldn't see his face, but they both recognized him at a glance. They wondered, why was he sitting here?

"When I ran into Jill when I went downstairs today, I thought I was dazzled." Beckett wore a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses, decorating his deep pale blue eyes: "Sit down, your breakfast is ready." ”

"Just now, Jill told me that he has amnesia. But he still remembers it, so come back and have a look. Beckett added.

He saw that Ina and Caroline were looking at Jill with serious faces.

"Don't look at me like you're watching an animal." Jill laughed. His smile made the other three look away from him, and at the same time, it was like a pre-dinner prayer for them to start breakfast.

"What's next? I'll arrange for you to go back to JA, how's that? Beckett asked. He was the first to finish breakfast.

As Jill had expected, Beckett asked the same question as everyone would ask, with the only difference being that he spoke in an incredibly strong tone. No, he always does.

"Thank you for your kindness, I haven't thought about it yet." Jill politely and tactfully refused.

"When you think about it, feel free to tell me." Beckett said. He got up, gently touched Ina's shoulder, and walked out.

AFTER BREAKFAST, INA DROVE TO "ALESS". Jill and Caroline set off together for JA· T - In order to distinguish the JA on both sides, Jill deliberately added the letter T to the name of the agency that fought against Agria - this time Jill took the initiative to ask Ina to take him there, because just now, Fernando sent him a message that said: You need to prepare almost all the black materials. It took me 4 hours to collect it, and in exchange, you grab my burger and take a trip to JA. I want to meet you, my old friend.

Today's itinerary was planned by him last night. Go to Stulet Abbey in the morning and contact Sidon Restaurant to confirm an appointment time. At this time, since he received Fernando's message, he could only postpone the matter of Sidon's restaurant.

In Queens, in a neat, ordinary alley, Jill looked at the plain log door in front of him, and there was a lot of surprise in his heart. But when I think about it, being so hidden is very much in line with the characteristics of JA.

Caroline pressed her hand to the door, which instantly turned into a string of numeric codes. When they are selected and recognized, a red triangular fractal icon appears in the center. The wooden door becomes a curtain of light.

Passing through the light curtain and entering inside, it can be said that there is a cave. A white spiral-shaped space, with rooms of various sizes distributed on each floor, and a low-lying center with two parallel glass elevators, reinforced by a red steel frame, curved from the bottom to the top, called the "Hub".

At certain intervals, there will be a zigzag passage across the air, connecting the center and the floor, catering to the curved center, like a giant vector map of the genetic arrangement. At the top, there is a dark blue water column in which many large and small fish swim freely and are full of life.

Jill and Caroline enter the elevator. The moment the elevator doors close, it serves as a screen on which Fernando's face is revealed. He was still the same, with a mushroom haircut and a pair of protective glasses for experiments. He stared at Jill with wide eyes, "A real person." Old friend, glad you're back. By the way, did I buy my burger? ”

Jill feigned surprise. He looked at Caroline, and after getting confirmation from the other party, he raised the takeout bag in his hand to the screen.

"I'll see you later." Fernando's image vanished. Jill followed Caroline to the third floor by elevator, and walked down the corridor to the third R&D department at the end, but what appeared in front of him was an island scenery.

He knew that it was the result of Fernando's usual holographic projections. What is different is that with every step he takes, the sea under his feet will cause ripples, and there is an illusion of sinking, so that he does not dare to step on it. From time to time, waves hit in the distance, accompanied by the sound of the waves and the slight sea breeze, as if he was really walking on a piece of sea. In front of the left, there is a golden sand beach with two bright green chairs on it. Fernando sat in a chair with his eyes closed.

"It's a good day." Caroline quipped.

"It is necessary to combine work and rest, and combine work and rest. I'm always thinking about molecules, quantum, or whatever, and they're going to collapse. Fernando opened his eyes, "I haven't heard your count for two days, but I miss it a lot." ”

"I'm not poor with you, since the people have already been brought, I will withdraw first."

After Caroline left, Fernando got up with a "whoosh" and reached out to shake hands with Jill in an extremely hip-hop manner. Then, he snatched the bag from Jill's hand with one hand and sat back in his chair: "Wait for me to eat a few bites." He gestured to another chair and motioned for Jill to sit down.

As Jill sat down, all the sights dissipated from top to bottom, like a low tide, revealing the true appearance of the room. The room is boxy, except for one side of the nano blackboard, the other five sides are green and white irregular lines. The lines on the two sides of the adjacent and opposite sides are pointed differently, horizontally and vertically, giving people a visual difference and making the room appear spacious. At the same time, the door has closed automatically.

In the middle of the two chairs, a mirrored table 3 meters long and 2 meters wide slowly rises from under the floor and stops when it is half the height of the chair. On the opposite side of the table is a large "glass room" that also rises slowly from under the floor, and houses instruments of different sizes.

"You see, recently I've been learning how to move optical quantum communication into a box." With that, he lightly touched the table. The screen lights up, and a Ferris wheel is projected in the air. It has 6 cockpits in 6 colors.

"Welcome to my Ferris wheel lab, old friend." Fernando said. When he briefly introduced the other five cockpits, he also finished eating hamburgers and fries.

"Just to be on the safe side, I asked you to come over to get the information, after all, quantum communication has not yet reached the level of popularization." Fernando approached Gil: "There are also many gangs here, and they must be guarded against. I sorted out the information you want in this encrypted mobile phone USB flash drive, and the password is your birthday, given to you. He sneaked the USB stick into Jill's hand.

Jill pinched the USB flash drive, loosening it tightly and loosely.

"I suppose Beckett already knew I was back, right?" Jill asked.

Fernando thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly: "It should be." The Blade team has a lot of people and can monitor the streets of New York, so you may know who sees you where. However, no one knows who is Beckett's man. ”

"I went to see him early this morning." Jill said.

Gil's words stunned Fernando: "So, what is his reaction?" ”

"Surprised. I had breakfast with him, Ina, Caroline. He said he could help me get back to JA. ”

"How did you answer him?"

"I said I hadn't figured it out yet."

Fernando got up and stretched his full back. He walked back and forth twice in front of Jill before sitting down in his chair again.

"Whatever you want, just ask?"

Fernando let out a long exhale: "Hey, then I'll ask directly." What you're going to do next is for Ina, right? ”

"Yes and not quite." Jill said.

Fernando instantly understood: "I want to remind you to take care of Caroline's feelings more and not to embarrass her too much." ”

Caroline, as the captain of the second team of the Blade Squad, is sitting at the ring table with the captains of the other three teams at the moment, discussing something in front of the portrait of the Borg projected by the holographic projection in the center. The figure was curled up, struggling in pain.

"He's been addicted to drugs for a while, but I didn't expect to be able to carry it." A sturdy man with a cut head and a camouflage vest said in a deep voice. He is none other than Jayne, the captain of the first team of the Blades.

"Don't worry, there will always be times when you can't bear it." Said a slender man with an oriental face and slightly curly black hair. This person is Yang Qian, the captain of the third team of the blade team, nicknamed Lao Yang.

"We have to race against the clock. Dig up the clues on the Borg as soon as possible, so that we can take the initiative, otherwise we will always be led by the nose by the strange guys in Anglia. Jayne got up, his height of 1.9 meters made him look like a big mountain, "If necessary, you can use a little trick against him." ”

"I'm good at this." Lao Yang said with a smile.

"But after all, it's from the Allen family, so there's really no need to notify the other side?" Lisha, who was wearing square-rimmed glasses, pushed her glasses up and said.

"Let's keep it a secret...... Caroline's words were in the middle of her sentence when the door to the conference room suddenly opened, revealing a blue headband, punk hairstyle, and a purple suit. She walked straight up to Caroline: "Caroline, you found my brother?" ”

Caroline sat upright, pausing for two seconds before nodding.

Nodia pointed to the central figure, and her voice became higher and higher-pitched, "Dare to ask, how are you going to toss my brother?" Is it that you can't get what you want, so you keep locking up my brother? You want to quit him by the way, right? ”

He looked around at everyone else in the room, and there was a sense of pressure that they had to give a satisfactory answer. But they still didn't say a word. Among them, the corners of Lao Yang's mouth were raised, and the other 3 people were either frowning or expressionless.

"Now is not the time for you to be here to make a little young master angry. You don't have permission to enter this room, so please get out. Finally, Jayne spoke.

The whole room became quiet. "Okay, I'll go!" Nodia erupted. Before turning around, he glanced at Caroline with resentment in his eyes. He slammed the door and left.
