“…… It's noisy. Ling Shucheng hastily flipped through the documents on the table, and motioned Han Yue with his eyes to close the doors and windows.

"Bear with me, today is our rare holiday." Han Yue quickly carried out the order, handed over the other document with both hands with a doggy face, and then said, "Remember to give me three times my salary." ”

Ling Shucheng glanced at him and slapped the document he had taken on the table.

"Wow, although you can't find anyone to work overtime, you also have to have a correct work attitude, let's not engage in petty emotions. It's a big deal, I'll write more next time I apply for project funding......"

Ling Shucheng made a "stop" gesture and turned on the radio on the desk.

"Ninety-seven years ago today, the first 'new human' was born...... The marching crowd carried out a voluntary propaganda ...... in the Civic Park"

Ling Shucheng pinched his frowning brows, quickly turned off the radio, leaned on the back of the chair with his back relaxed, and whispered: "Forget it, it's better to listen to you." ”

"This makes it difficult for me to judge whether you have a bigger opinion of me or a bigger opinion of Yingying."

"Warbler?"

"The one that just aired." Han Yue whistled, "The two of us had dinner together last week. I also mentioned her to you. ”

"You've had dinner with at least three different women last week. There is so little information in your words that it is difficult for me to judge which one 'Yingying' is. ”

"The one with the best sound. Don't you think she talks like she sings? If it weren't for her, a few people would have been happy to listen to these things. Han Yue raised his eyebrows, his face full of joy.

"If I'm not mistaken, one of the three women you met last week was a professional opera singer." Ling Shucheng had a stubble that didn't match, "So your analogy of this Yingying lady's voice makes me feel a little awkward." ”

"No, you've made a successful transition today, right? This sharp-toothed one, I thought I was talking to you. ”

"You're wrong. If it were my father, he could talk to you about Ms. Yingying's love history for two hours. ”

"Isn't that nice, I'm also interested in this topic." Han Yue dragged a stool and sat down straight, "But I'm more interested in your psychological condition at the moment. ”

Ling Shucheng was staring at the tea leaves floating in the glass with a serious face, as if he was seriously studying whether there was any difference between the color of today's soup and the past.

"Wow, you don't. To put it bluntly, what other exciting corpses you haven't seen? As for this...... So ......" Han Yue glanced at him, and saw that Ling Shucheng still didn't mean to talk, so he continued on his own, "Depressed? No, I feel like you're holding back a little bit of air. But I don't understand that anymore. ”

Han Yue "tsk" twice, stretched out his hand and pretended to shake it in front of Ling Shucheng, who was bowing his head, and was slapped away by Ling Shucheng with a little force.

"What the hell are you angry about? For the sake of those innocent students who were killed? Forget it, let's say it's students, they are also reservists. The corpses of seniors and juniors, do you still see less? Regretting that you went one step too late? How many times have we been on a rescue mission, aren't we 'late'? Or are you complaining about the upper echelons who don't give you enough time to get out of your breath outside of tasks? Don't you, you're not a young man who just graduated, and you still want me to do ideological work for you? Han Yue said faster and faster with a hippie smile, with a bit of deliberately fanning the flames.

But Ling Shucheng just looked up at him calmly, and then slowly flipped through the documents on the table.

"Looks like you didn't drop the bag." Han Yue crossed Erlang's legs, "But I'm curious about what you're thinking right now." ”

"I'm thinking that what Ms. Yingying said just now is too ambiguous about the birth date of the 'new human'." Ling Shucheng flipped through the contents of the document slightly, then jumped directly to the last page, and signed an extremely neat name one by one, "This will make people mistakenly think that today is the day of 'her' birth." In fact, today is just the day when 'her' ability is confirmed. ”

"There's no way around it, after all, 'she' is an orphan, and she doesn't know when she was born, and she can't set a date casually." Han Yue naturally answered.

"Actually, no one cares what day 'she' was born." Ling Shucheng's eyes darkened.

"Yes, too. ' She just needs to be a symbol of our group. Han Yue was very cooperative and nodded thoughtfully.

Ling Shucheng confirmed the signatures of all the documents one by one, and then carefully sorted out the order. On a resource-strapped ship, what can be preserved in paper documents is carefully selected "key information", each of which needs to be signed off by senior personnel. Even if he was at the bottom of the "high-level personnel", he needed to go through this cutscene, and by the way, admire the autographs of everyone before him—among them, his father's freehand handwriting dominated the most pages.

"I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you. Finally, I will tell you the news, the female student you rescued last time seems to be on trial with Lao Xu. ”

"She ran out on her own, not me." Ling Shucheng corrected first, and then frowned again, "On trial? I thought she was supposed to be recuperating in the hospital by now. ”

"Let's not mention what she confessed, how much the people above believed." Han Yue squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Do you have any idea how valuable your life is?" The suspicion of intentionally attacking you alone is enough for her to fall into seven or eight charges. ”

After speaking, Han Yue pushed the door and walked out. Ling Shucheng rubbed his temples, slowly sat up straight, counted the documents again, suddenly stood up suddenly, ripped off the ironed coat, went out, locked the door, and walked away quickly.

In the square room surrounded by one-way glass, Yuan Sui sat upright on the chair in the middle with his hands on his knees, but his round eyes kept turning.

Ling Shucheng stood on the other side of the glass, quietly watching her.

Even if the straight-line distance between the two was less than three meters, it was impossible for Yuan Sui to see or hear any movement made by Ling Shucheng. This is the military's "quiet room" dedicated to "observing" any military-related personnel judged to be "suspicious." A few square rooms are almost empty, except for spotlights installed near the bottom of the glass mirror, and only the mirror-like glass around the room can be seen. No one would enter the room for interrogation, just groups of professionals walking around the room, pointing at the people in the room, as if they were observing a prisoner or a mentally ill person. The ceiling and floor of the room are clean white, and it is said that this design, which is both "quiet and empty" and "pale and narrow", is conducive to silent spiritual interrogation of the people in the room, and is more in line with the current situation of the military's pursuit of "civility" even for punishment.

Ling Shucheng believes that the promoters of this kind of room are only slightly more humane than those who invented torture instruments.

"Yo, Brother Ling, why did you come to me!" A hoarse voice shouted from afar, bumping into people all the way before he walked quickly in front of Ling Shucheng. Xu Zeyuan, the leader of the first team and the third group, is the direct manager of the "silent room". In the first three groups of the first team, one group is responsible for making decisions, the second group with Ling Shucheng as the leader is responsible for implementation, and Xu Zeyuan's third group is responsible for supervision. But in fact, dealing with other groups has always been Han Yue's job, and Ling Shucheng rarely had the opportunity to work with this group leader of the three who suffered from severe pharyngitis due to the intensity of his work, so the two were not familiar with each other.

Ling Shucheng nodded at him, saying, "I heard your warm greetings all the way", and then continued to focus his eyes again on Yuan Sui, who was scratching his head.

Yuan Sui's spirit was not bad, he didn't seem to have any external injuries, he didn't have a look of grievance and melancholy, nor did he have a look of anger and nervousness, he looked like a child who had just been sent to kindergarten by his parents, and he couldn't sit still a little - but she definitely knew that she might be being watched at any time, so she didn't dare to sit on the stool and twist around. Fortunately, her eyes could still move around happily and freely, but unfortunately there was nothing in the room that was interesting enough for her to focus on for a short time. Occasionally, she would also look straight ahead, and Ling Shucheng would have a subtle "eye contact", probably thinking that others would observe her from the front.

"Brother Ling, what are you doing here? Inspections? Xu Zeyuan scratched his cheeks.

Ling Shucheng was not very comfortable with the title of "Brother Ling", and was silent for a while, and slowly and clearly spit out a sentence: "Why did she come here." ”

Xu Zeyuan raised his eyebrows, did not answer directly, but asked first: "Do you believe in the four words seeing is believing?" ”

Ling Shucheng neither nodded nor shook his head.

"We had an incident here two years ago, and you've probably heard of it." Xu Zeyuan sat down leisurely on the bench brought by his subordinates, beckoned to Ling Shucheng to sit on the other one, and continued, "No one doubts that the little young man who crawled out of the pile of corpses, we all feel sorry for his injuries, let him come here is just a formality, and he won't be allowed to report here for two days." The result? He almost managed to blow our 'ship' to the bottom. ”

Of course, Ling Shucheng had heard about this matter, even more than Xu Zhiyuan thought. But he didn't speak, and he didn't "sit down."

Xu Zeyuan had no choice but to continue to speak passionately in front of the silent audience with his throat that always seemed to be stuck in something: "People are difficult to see through. Yesterday you were very familiar with the person, uh, what is that, today may have made you extremely strange in your heart. Phew, I still can't say this crepe. ”

"In short, you listen to my brother's words, don't let any emotions hinder your judgment." Xu Zeyuan then began to speak at length, "To tell you the truth, I'm just talking about things, this is called Yuan Sui, it's still a little suspicious." First of all, she ranked the lowest among the six students involved, although she also entered the first class of the military academy, but it was also squeezed into the countdown. Although it is said that it is possible to explode in the face of a crisis, but she has exceeded it this time. To tell you the truth, judging from the situation you submitted, brother, I am not sure that I will be able to escape. What's more, she was aggressive towards you at first. Let's reasonably deduce, is it possible, don't be angry first, you say it's possible, she is a spy who hides deeply, she should cooperate with her companions, and even want to sneak attack you...... Hey, I know you're going to say that the reaction of the other side is also very suitable, but this kind of thing may have been rehearsed in advance......"

"It's unlikely, there isn't enough time to rehearse and build the site." Ling Shucheng spoke in a steady tone.

"Well, even if it's only a little possibility, we have to be cautious." Xu Zeyuan waved at Ling Shucheng cordially again, Ling Shucheng hesitated for a while, but walked over and sat down cooperatively.

"I don't mean to object, I'm just stopping by to see the situation. I have already stated in detail in the report, and it is your business whether or not to adopt my inferences. ”

"You still sound a little emotional." Xu Zeyuan laughed loudly, then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Then have you ever thought about another reason why she was left here to observe?" ”

"I guessed that just now. Because of her emotional instability and aggressive behavior...... It may have something to do with the state she is using as an experimental sample. Ling Shucheng raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Sui, who had already begun to twist slightly on the stool, "But I still don't agree with this inference." ”

"Wow, man, you seem to be a little smarter than I thought you would be—oh I didn't mean anything else."

"I didn't mean anything else, except that I initially thought she was going to be taken to the hospital for counselling, after all, when I saw her, I thought she was in a bad state."

"Are you saying she did have a state akin to "manic"? Xu Zeyuan's eyes lit up, as if he had caught some key witness.

"It seems that the drugs used by the laboratory for her are really not something that can be seen." Ling Shucheng lowered his eyes, "But I'm afraid you misunderstood, her symptoms have nothing to do with mania." ”

"Well, what is that state, can you elaborate on that?"

"I'm afraid I can't describe it to you in detail. But to use an analogy, it's a bit similar to how you feel when you recall the young man who was misjudged by you and let it go. ”

"Huh? I knew I should have brought a mirror to study my expression. What a mistake. Xu Zeyuan patted his face.

"I hope you understand what I mean, and I hope you care about my report as much as you care about me coming here today." Ling Shucheng got up, nodded slightly again as a farewell, and walked away from the room unhurriedly.

After making sure that Ling Shucheng was far away, Xu Zhiyuan sneered, slowly leaned against the wall, half-lying on the stool and half-leaning on his feet, and glanced at the restless girl in the glass room.

"Interesting." He whispered.
