Chapter 2: Tacitly
After drinking some drinks in the lounge of this transportation station of the Sky Snake Group, and chatting casually with Song Chuzhang, Li Ang got the news that all his ships had been replenished, and stretched out his hand to Song Chuzhang apologetically, "This time I have to leave because of something urgent, let's have a drink next time we meet, at least don't be in a hurry like now." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Well, I think we'll meet again soon." Song Chuzhang stretched out his hand and shook it with Li Ang hard, and said goodbye with regret on his face, Li Ang is a busy man and he himself is not, this sea of stars is too vast, so that the meaning of the word friend is getting weaker and weaker, "I believe that the next meeting is more exciting." ”
Li Ang took a person off the boat, but this person didn't speak all the time, and he seemed to have no sense of existence when he simply followed Li Ang, until he stepped on the trestle on the back boat, he whispered to the person next to him who had never spoken, "Beicheng, I think this place is a bit weird, what about you?" ”
The man known as Beicheng just nodded and didn't answer.
"Alas, when I saw my old friends in the past, I realized that I was already thirty years old before I had time to do any bad things...... A lot of things. Li Ang put aside the previous topic, and suddenly sighed and sighed seriously.
"I think many will try to refute your wonderful point, sir." Beicheng, who has never had many expressions and didn't talk much, unconsciously raised his eyebrows, not to mention others, first of all, he himself didn't quite agree with Li Ang's point of view.
"Well, I'll admit that I've done a lot of bad things in my short but passionate thirty years of life, but having a taste for doing bad things like mine has obviously risen to the level of art, so I'm an artist and not a villain now, you know?" Leon spread his hands with a triumphant expression.
"Indeed, in a way, you are indeed an artist." Beicheng nodded again.
After Leon's ship finished resupplying, it left the transit station very quickly, and the control room in the station could monitor the whole process, which was really called a hurry to go.
It wasn't until the ship's signal left the scanning range that the deputy behind Song Chuzhang said to him with a worried face, "Song Gong, my subordinates know that you have a good relationship with that person, but it is related to the important transit point of the group, and it is also a port where the same batch of AA-level materials enter at the same time, and there will definitely be a detailed record on the core central control side, and if the above blames it at that time, I am afraid it will be detrimental to your future." ”
"Heh, when is my future something you can care about?" Song Chuzhang turned his head and looked directly into the eyes of his deputy, as if he wanted to see the other party through.
"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates only have to worry about you out of loyalty to you......" The deputy panicked in his heart, although he had not been with Song Chuzhang for a long time, he was the old man of the White Snake Group, and he knew very well what kind of existence his company was, but none of the people who could get along here were not ruthless, especially the methods of the high-level people were the most terrifying. Song Shijae is only a middle and high-level existence for the time being, but his rise is very fast, and he is favored by a certain bigwig, and obviously the means will not be bad.
"Xiaolin, don't say that you are loyal or unfaithful, to put it bluntly, you are still for yourself." Song Chuzhang smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, the expression on his face was warm and sincere, just like a teacher teaching a student, "But this is very good, people should be honest to be useful." ”
The deputy who was called Kobayashi bowed in fear, "Thank you Song Gong for your teachings." ”
"Hehe, I can't talk about teachings yet." Song Chuzhang waved his hand, he was in a good mood today, so he didn't want to worry about trivial matters, "As for this borrowing, do you think I, a small researcher, have the authority to open the Star Gate?" Don't ask what you shouldn't ask next time, because it's often difficult for people to get a second chance to be forgiven, so if you understand, go down first and leave me alone for a while. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand." The deputy, surnamed Lin, walked backwards out of Song Seok-jae's office, and only after going out did he dare to pant loudly and wipe the sweat off his palms. For the people of the Sky Snake Group, the transfer has a different meaning than elsewhere, where the predecessor may be retired or promoted, but here, a vacant position in the vast majority of cases means that the person who was in the position before has disappeared.
"You've changed a lot." Song Chuzhang looked at the starry sky outside in a daze, but muttered to himself in his mouth, and after turning on the projection in front of him, he called up the image left by Li Ang when he was here, "Some things are indeed easy to change, but there are also some things that can never be changed." ”
After sitting for a long time, Song Chuzhang suddenly got up, picked up one of the two cups on the table and looked at it, it was the one that Li Ang had used before. After looking at it for a while, as if confirming something, Song Chuzhang turned around and entered his laboratory alone, with an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth.
After Leon returned to the boat, Nana took the initiative to lean over and express her doubts, "Is it necessary for us to pass through here, with all due respect, in fact, we don't have to come here, this only complicates things, and there may be some minor troubles when going through the official star gate, but those people are actually not difficult to deal with, are they?" At least it's better than owing a favor debt, especially if the object of this favor debt is still the Sky Snake. ”
"Maybe we just want things to get complicated?" Li Ang didn't say anything, but Ma Jun next to him took the initiative to take on the task of explaining to Nana, he was not only responsible for the analysis of data and intelligence, but sometimes he would make a cameo appearance as a kobold military advisor, "You don't have an idea of what kind of place this is, no matter how powerful an individual is, he is more inclined to be with others." Like-minded individuals form a group, rather than blindly acting alone, in this process we in order to form a stable and reliable relationship, naturally indispensable to exchange handles with each other, today we passed the star gate of people's smuggling, both caught the handle of the other party and sent the handle to the other party's hands, what a good thing. ”
In the Guangchen Republic, it is a very serious crime to privately occupy the passage and set up a stargate, this stargate of the Sky Snake Group is very small, and it can only pass through ships below 500 meters, but its existence is not that others cannot detect the transfer reaction of the stargate, but that they maintain each other's bottom line tacitly. Li Ang's ship borrowed this passage, and it was impossible to report it to the authorities, which naturally violated the relevant guidelines, but this practice also tied the interests he represented behind him to the interests of the Sky Snake Group, so that everyone could feel a little more at ease, at least think about the consequences before handing the knife.
"So, is this called being with the light?" Nana pouted.
"If you want to say that you are in the same boat, I will gladly accept it." Leon shrugged, and light was clearly not the word Nana really wanted to use.
"I'm going back soon, what do I want to do with this, the floating world is chasing, you and I are just a speck of dust, it's better to enjoy life if you have time to care about these." Lei Teng took out a cigarette, put it under his nose and sniffed it vigorously before putting it back in the box, although he had always been very aggressive, he at least knew that he could not smoke in the Cambridge command room.
Li Ang's adjutant V.S kept staring at Lei Teng's hand, she would never let people smoke in front of Li Ang, not because she hated the smell of tobacco burning, but because she cared about the effect of Li Ang's quitting smoking. Ever since Leon decided to quit smoking, V.S., a loyal lieutenant, had an additional responsibility to oversee the implementation of his smoking cessation plan, and the smoking of people around him could easily make ex-smokers pick up this bad habit again.
"Alright, alright, don't look at me like that, I'm just smelling it." Lei Teng showed an innocent expression.
"If you want me to say that you can also try to quit smoking, I can feel two words every minute and every second: healthy." Li Ang smiled, he had learned V.S's persistence early in the morning, and he was a little glad that he had found this conscientious "inspector" for himself, otherwise the effect of quitting smoking would definitely not be so good.
"Come on, I don't have the perseverance you have." Lei Teng waved his hand in fear, and after several years of working together, he came to a conclusion that if he was targeted by V.S, there would be no good life, but he was still not afraid of death and muttered, "You can even quit smoking, I really can't think of anything else you can't do." ”
Not in the mood to deal with Lei Teng's gags, Li Ang silently opened the star map on the ship, looking at the small coordinate point that was getting closer and closer in the projection, he couldn't help but feel a sense of homesickness, every time he left home and returned home would be a different mood, and this time was no exception. It's like someone writing about it, living elsewhere, but where else is a much more intriguing question.
Leon is used to this world, but he is not sure if he belongs to this world.
