Extra-1 Corridor of Fate (I)
The little Γ· said β Net], the β little Γ· said β Net],
Under the dark clouds and low sky, on the edge of the low mangrove forest, the white sea romances a pair of ankles that are a little unconscious from the cold. Yuan Sui stepped on the water for a while, and the salty water waves stirred up pushed all the small fish and shrimp that tried to approach far away.
It's boring.
Since leaving the Pangu under an excuse, she has spent too many afternoons alone in the afternoons that she has tried to pass the time. Now, even if a shark happens to swim into the shallow water, it doesn't make a fuss to her.
The only difference between today and yesterday is that there is a white seabird hovering above her head all the time, and I wonder if her long hair is regarded as a good material for nesting. Yuan Sui raised his chin and stared at the stupid bird for a long time without any expression, and his playful heart suddenly rose, and he controlled a few threads and ropes to weave a large net, which coldly shrouded the head of the animal that had provoked the wrong person.
She succeeded. Shiratori fell into the crook of her arm, and the weight was quite light.
Just as Yuan Sui began to think about whether he could add vegetables at night, the animal in his hand suddenly struggled violently, so much so that he slapped her face several times with his huge wings, and finally managed to get out of the gap in the big net, leaving only a large pile of broken white feathers for Yuan Sui.
Cursing in human language for a long time, Yuan Sui soon stopped making any sounds. The inexplicable resentment in her heart came and went quickly, she rubbed her face that was a little painful, and then used the soles of her feet to grind the white hair all over the ground, and it took a long time to hold back two words to herself.
"Well deserved."
I don't know if I'm talking about myself, or if I'm talking about the white bird that has flown away.
"Miss Yuan." Someone suddenly called out to her from behind, "You're really here again." β
"Is something happening again? If you're looking for me to go back for dinner, it's too early. Yuan Sui didn't have to look back, and he knew that the only one who could spare time to catch himself was the newcomer Quanlin, "I'm in a bad mood today, so I want to stay alone." Why, can't it? β
Quan Lin behind him obviously hesitated for a while, and finally said cautiously: "I still suggest you go back and have a look, after all, this time ......"
"Is it Li Ran and that again, who is that......
"Mr. Kong Zhongsi on the Pangu." Quanlin reminded in due course.
"Yes, it's the one with the surname Kong." The sea breeze blew his hair very messy, and Yuan Sui shook his head and tidied it up casually, "Did Li Ran quarrel with him again?" What's so strange about that. Ever since that hole knew that I usually only eat white rice on the island and don't help anything, has this kind of thing been less recently? β
"Yesβbut this time it's a little different." Quan Lin paused for a short time, as if he was doing some difficult ideological struggle, but in the end, he only held back one sentence, "You better go back quickly." β
"Yes, yes." Yuan Sui was obviously very unhappy.
"Then I'm ......"
"You go back alone, I don't like people to follow me." Yuan Sui raised his foot and kicked out a string of cold splashes. Hearing that the person behind her had not moved for a long time, she finally turned back impatiently, "What, are you still afraid that I won't be able to speak?" β
"No, of course not." Quan Lin looked at her with a meaningful face, lowered his head again, and said obediently, "Okay, you...... Anyway, I went first. β
Confirming that the figure who had suddenly burst out and ruined the mood had walked back into the woods, Yuan Sui stretched his waist exaggeratedly, and then deliberately detoured, humming an old song intermittently, while dragging back along the coast.
Even though she's not an avid art lover, it's still quite a disappointment to not have the opportunity to learn anything new for years. Although life on the island is not isolated, the limited means of external communication are generally used for important information transmissions. She wasn't pretentious enough to ask someone else to bring her a worthless CD from the outside.
So when he walked to the door of someone's residence, Yuan Sui chose to hit it with his shoulder instead of pretending to be polite and knocking with his hand.
It may be that the movement of her entering the door is too loud, and the quarrel in the room stops instantly. Li Ran and Kong Zhongsi turned their heads at the same time, the former visibly relieved after seeing the intruder's face clearly, while the latter's facial expression became more serious.
"Miss Yuan." Kong Zhongsi looked up and down at the girl who was still wearing short-sleeved shorts after autumn, "It's been a while. β
Yuan Sui ignored him at all, and only silently changed the position of several vases placed on the cabinet in the entryway, and then kicked the wet shoes under his feet aside.
"It's cold today," Li Ran only said three words, then covered his mouth and coughed twice, after noticing a string of footprints with water left by Yuan Sui, looking at her expression became a little complicated, "Forget it, you go back and add some clothes first." β
"It's okay, it's been half a day anyway, if you want to catch a cold, you'll already have a cold, and I'm not in a hurry for a few minutes." Yuan Sui didn't look at him, but at least he still asked by the way, "What did you two quarrel about just now?" So loud. A few brothers standing guard outside didn't dare to chat. β
"Actuallyβ"
As soon as Kong Zhongsi spoke, he was interrupted by Li Ran raising his voice: "It's nothing. β
"Oh." Yuan Sui didn't look surprised, he only responded coyly, and then turned around, "It's really nothing, then I'll leave." β
Seizing the opportunity for Li Ran to cough on the table, Kong Zhongsi pondered for a while, and still arrived first: "I'm sorry, please stay." You are also a smart person, and I am afraid that as long as you see me and Mr. Li now, you will already think about who we are in conflict with today. β
Pretending not to see the dissuasion in Li Ran's eyes, Yuan Sui leaned sideways and nodded.
"Actually, there's a mission, and I think you're the best person to execute it. But it was clear that Mr. Li did not agree and was not willing to lend to me. Completely opposite to Li Ran, Kong Zhongsi never shy away from talking to her, "I think you are already an adult, and you should have the power to make decisions for yourself...... Mr. Lai, you said that right? β
"If it's Sui Sui who complains that I've been trying my best to keep her out of the plan, I'll accept it." Probably in the process of arguing with people, the fragile throat was overloaded, Li Ran's voice was hoarse, and the anger in his tone was rarely as obvious as it is now, "But you are not qualified to instigate here." β
"How can this be said to be 'instigation'." The thick black eyebrows were slightly raised, and Kong Zhongsi skillfully showed a warm smile, "How much you care about Miss Yuan, and how much trouble you have taken to prevent her from stepping into the quagmire of our plan, all of us have seen it, but ......"
"Mr. Kong, when will you get rid of this habit of always beating around the bush when you speak?" Yuan Sui snorted coldly, and smiled like him, "I have a bad temper and patience, and you don't know it." Directly what to say about the task. β
"Years ......"
Li Ran's bloodshot eyes were dim, probably trying his best to interrupt the dangerous conversation between the two, but Yuan Sui didn't buy it, and after glancing at him, he crossed his waist and sighed.
"Forget it, whatever the task is." She wanted to speak a little tougher, but when the words came to her lips, her voice lowered again, "I understand the principle of eating people with short hands." I'll go. β
-
Three days later, Yuan Sui had done enough psychological construction, but as soon as he set foot on the port of the Pangu, he immediately regretted turning around and leaving.
"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid." Mo Yunhan, the newly acquainted leader of the Pangu army, seems to have a natural affection for her from the moment they meet, "Yuan Sui...... Right? Congratulations, you're finally home. β
The other party's tone of pity was too touching. Yuan Sui took several deep breaths in a row, trying to restrain himself from revealing his identity in such a short period of time, so he forcibly suppressed the idea of punching and beating people, and reciprocated with a look of wanting to cry without tears.
Don't ask her why she didn't really hold back a few tears. She didn't want to make herself feel too disgusting.
"This is the one you brought back this time...... A survivor of a merchant ship hijacking a few years ago? A man with a fresh face who looked about thirty years old stepped forward to say hello to Mo Yunhan one by one, but was ignored by the latter with a dark face, "Look at it...... Too small, right? How old was she when the accident happened, how could she go out with a merchant ship? β
"Don't bother. Yuan Sui's identity, I have checked it many times before bringing her back. Mo Yunhan glared at him, "Han Yue, why do you always want to take care of everything?" β
"Maybe it's because the second group has fewer general managers than the countermeasures team." Han Yue had a little underwhelming smile on his face, and after noticing that Yuan Sui subconsciously wanted to hide back, he stepped forward again, and asked in a tone similar to that of a kindergarten teacher, "Yuan Sui...... Little sister, huh? How old are you? β
ββ¦β¦ Eighteen. Yuan Sui lowered his head slightly to avoid letting the other party notice that his current facial expression was actually a little too hideous, "I originally went out with my friends to play." His family worked in the caravan and secretly brought us aboard. β
"Oh, that's right." Han Yue was still smiling, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not, "You were so young a few years ago, it wasn't easy to escape death, right?" Have you been doing well out there in the past few years? β
"It's not easy, it's not very good." Yuan Sui stretched out a hand and wiped the top of his head, and then panned to the left and right of the other party's chest, laughing at himself, "That's why I'm so short, I'm so embarrassed." β
"Oh." Han Yue squinted at her, and then laughed very loudly, as if he had really heard something very interesting, "Yes, it's really hard for you." He took a few steps back, "Please." Welcome home. β
was accurately stepped on the sore foot, Yuan Sui suddenly raised his head, stared directly at the other party's eyes and threw out a sentence, "It's back to the ship, but it's not certain that you can't go back home", and left quickly with the other army members who came to respond.
"Huh. There's a story, yes. Han Yue looked at the back of the person who looked particularly petite compared to the people around him, and raised his eyebrows at Mo Yunhan, "Tell me?" β
Her father has long since died, and her mother is now busy raising her youngest son with her second husband. Are you satisfied? Mo Yunhan glared at him and then took the other team members to catch up, and after walking a long way, he still cursed and muttered something "eating human blood steamed buns".
"If you don't eat a good meal, what kind of steamed buns will you eat." Han Yue turned his slightly stiff neck after starting his long-term desk work, and then slowly pinned the headset, and took the initiative to explain without waiting for the other party to speak, "Yes, I have already seen that little girl." Anyway, I can't judge whether she has a problem or not based on this side. After all, even a few of the old brothers in the countermeasures team have made a decision to let her into the ship, so you can't always refute their face. β
"I've seen her account of the case itself and what she has been going through over the years. Very complete, nothing was a problem. The other party's speed of speech is only about half of Han Yue's, but fortunately, the sentence is concise and does not procrastinate, "But ......"
"But the more you do that, the more you think something is wrong, don't you? I know. Han Yue was very cooperative, "Little boss, how are you going to intervene, tell me about it?" β
On the other end of the communication, Ling Shucheng put down the last signed document today, raised his hand and rubbed it in his eyebrows, and finally said in a deep voice: "Arrange for me to meet with her." β
The next afternoon, he stood on the side of the silent room, which was separated from Yuan Sui by only one one-way glass, and he didn't even understand why he was so distracted in a short period of time.
"Brother Ling, is there any problem?" Xu Zeyuan, the leader of the third group, was standing beside him, and he also followed his gaze and kept staring at the little girl in the room, "If you find anything, tell me as soon as possible." Otherwise, she will be sent home tomorrow. β
"Tomorrow." Ling Shucheng looked at the strange girl who was always curled up with her head down, and her hands were a little white on the hem of her clothes, and slowly shook her head, "She needs a psychiatrist today." β
Xu Zeyuan was stunned by what he said, and soon began to play perfunctorily, "Yes, yes." But isn't it true that everyone whose identity is in doubt has to go through a procedure here when they come back? She's been out there for so long, and she won't be ...... for a day or two."
"Who has come to see her?" Ling Shucheng interrupted him directly.
"It's just her stepfather. Captain Lu on the police side, I don't know if you recognize it. As if touching on some key point, Xu Zhiyuan immediately opened the conversation box and began to talk endlessly, "Although he should have come by after work, but seriously, I think his stepfather is already very interesting, and he went in and shouted at the little girl, although the little girl didn't recognize him." Speaking of which, people's mothers haven't come over yet. β
Ling Shucheng took a breath unconsciously, suppressed the negative emotions that he couldn't tell, and whispered, "Open the door." β
"You want to go in? Okay, too. Xu Zeyuan agreed very happily, "But you can only ask, she answers." Don't answer any of her questions. That's the discipline here. β
"I know."
When he was shrouded in a new and strange shadow, Yuan Sui couldn't help but raise his head.
Is there any end to this group of people? What about rare animals?
Then she suddenly realized that the young man in front of her was the farthest away from her among all the people who had come to "visit" in the past two days.
I've heard that some people are naturally more concerned about "social distancing" than others. I don't know if this good-looking young officer is this kind of person.
The other party did not take the initiative to speak, so Yuan Sui naturally looked at Ling Shucheng in silence for a long time.
This person looked at me like he was looking at a little monster. Yuan Sui concluded.
But strangely, she didn't feel stabbed by this gaze. Perhaps it was because there was at least no obvious pity or sympathy in the other person's eyes, which were more disgusting emotions.
The young officer's dark eyes revealed only two wordsβobservation.
Pure observation. It's like looking at an ordinary chair by a person. Neither particularly curious, nor aesthetically judging, and occasionally looking wandering because of lack of concentration.
"Did we know each other before?" Yuan Sui still did the one who couldn't hold his breath. Because she didn't understand why a stranger, who had nothing to do with her, stared at her so intently, and began to inquire or teach without arrogance.
Ling Shucheng shook his head and finally said the first sentence since they met.
"I'll ask the doctor to bring you a few sleeping pills." He said, "You haven't had a good rest in a long time. β
