“... Miscellaneous... What the...? ”

Zhou Ji was stunned. The middle-aged man's words were something he couldn't have imagined anyway, and for a moment he thought that something was wrong with his ears.

"You... You say..."

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Ji's stammering appearance, but there was no change in expression on his kind face, and he still patiently repeated Fang Cai's words again: "Agent C36 Zhou Ji, the case of File 0376 in your hand has been temporarily closed. You and your small group members have put in a lot of effort and even precious lives for this, and several of the agents who died will be added as martyrs and awarded you medals. This year or so has been a hard struggle, and the top will see the effort you are waiting for. After that, you can enjoy a year's vacation with peace of mind, and then you can choose to report back to the headquarters at any time. Thank you again for your country! ”

At this time, Zhou Ji's brain finally reacted. But when he understood the deep meaning of the middle-aged man's words, he fell into an ice cellar———— as the only survivor of the 0376 file agent team who knew the inside story, he was kicked out of the case of the Black Book Company! He clearly knew that the boss would never stop continuing to investigate the No. 0376 file, and it was even more impossible after he learned that the rumors of the Black Book Company began to loom in society, no matter how he thought about the follow-up case, he would inevitably be used Zhou Ji, even if he couldn't use it, he would be solved by Lin Xingcheng and others, right? But what's going on with this sudden situation? Did just a few words send him away? Don't even investigate whether you have made a deal with the Black Book Company?

Speaking of which.... What about Wang Yao? Why isn't Wang Yao here?

Zhou Ji, who was in a mess in his mind, finally remembered this most important question, it stands to reason that if he and Wang Yao were invited back together, then he should be on the scene when the team closed the case, why is he the only one here now?

Zhou Ji subconsciously gritted his teeth, trying to swallow back the curiosity stuck in his throat. After a few seconds, I still couldn't control it, and a mouth question slid out of my mouth:

"Sir, I don't know if I should say something."

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed and he said, "But it's okay to ask." ”

"Another member of Agent 0376's Archive Team, which I am on, arrived here with me a week ago, and he is now...?"

Zhou Ji said tentatively. He didn't dare to guarantee what the consequences of his words would be, and at present, there was no way to guarantee whether the chief in front of him was Lin Xingcheng's person, Wang Yao knew too much about Lin Xingcheng and the mysterious organization within the organization, in case he had been dealt with secretly, once someone with a heart noticed that the relationship between the two was too close, wouldn't it be over?

"Ahh That's what you ask. Although the middle-aged man's face did not change much, there seemed to be a faint sigh of relief in his words. Rest assured, the agent was fine, but he had a little more problems. When the investigation is clear, the release will be arranged like you, but a few days later. So, do you still have any questions? ”

“... No more, sir. Zhou Ji said, and made a military salute again with his heels.

"Okay, then you can go down and get the medal and let them arrange a helicopter to take you away." The middle-aged man waved his hand and signaled that Zhou Ji could leave.

——————————

Four hours later, Zhou Ji, whose eyes were straight, got off the helicopter at the headquarters in a daze. When his feet touched the still hot ground of Liqiu S City again, he realized that his fate with the Black Book Company was really over. The last time he came in a hurry to work, this time he was going home. Wang Desheng, Li Xiaoyue, Zhou Yanjun, Li Tang, Yue Zhi, Lin Xingcheng, Wang Yao, Black Book Company, Secret Organization, Wish Fulfillment...

More than 400 days of hard work came to naught, and in the end it turned into a desolate dream.

At this moment, Zhou Ji's stomach was full of unwillingness, and he was about to explode with grievance———— but this was the arrangement of the superiors, what else could he do?

But if you think about it from another angle, this may be the best ending for yourself. Zhou Ji thought. Although a lot of things about the Black Book Company are still blocked in his heart endlessly, maybe he will be trapped in front of the secret door for the rest of his life and think bitterly———— at least he is still alive. Yes. Compared with Li Tang and Yue Zhi, who lost their lives, and all the victims before this, Zhou Ji is undoubtedly a lucky person with a light on his head. There are definitely not many people who can get out of file 0376. Just like the agents who investigated the case before his group, if nothing happened, how could they find Zhou Ji's group?

Zhou Ji smiled and walked quickly towards the airport gate.

Suddenly, a face flashed through his mind.

... Wrong!

What about Liu Lao?

What about the old agent who handed over the case in his hands to Li Tang?

Zhou Ji's smile condensed on his face. He remembered that he had the honor to meet Liu Lao once before, saying that he was Liu Lao, but this person was only in his early 50s. At the time, they weren't aware of the seriousness of File 0376, so it wasn't surprising that they were asked to meet with their old qualifications to handle the case. But after going through so much, when I think back to what happened at that time, all the details seem more and more weird.

Why was Liu Lao the only one to come when the case was transferred, he chose Li Tang This is not to say, but he can't be the only one in the last batch of agents, right? Could it be that his contemporaries were also killed?

No, no, no, it doesn't matter, what matters is why he was able to get out of File 0376 and be allowed to find the next agent to take over? Why was he Zhou Ji not asked to do this, but was directly sent away? Don't...

Could it be that Liu Lao and Lin Xingcheng are in the same camp? In this way, Li Tang lost his life inexplicably, and it must be their troublemaker. It's really hateful, so isn't Li Tang a fat meat sent to the door, let them devour it alive after the use value is lost?!

No, can't think about it anymore.

Zhou Ji shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the chill in his body.

Obviously out of this nightmarish case, the boss has forced him to take a vacation, why do you have to think about it so much? Although I am a little sorry for Li Tang, if I continue to be entangled in this case, I will not only face the black book company, but the majesty of the top. So, what's next....

Zhou Ji took out the mobile phone that had been confiscated for more than a week from his arms, and clicked on the screen to see that more than 20 missed calls were all from his sister Zhou Mo. At this time, the guilt that had long been forgotten finally returned to his body.

By the way, let's go home. Zhou Mo, she must be in a hurry.

A smile crept up the corner of Zhou Ji's mouth.

After delaying for so long, I must make amends for her.
