Chapter Thirty-Six: A Great Assignment from Heaven
Early Monday morning, Liu Jianming sat in his classroom seat, his whole head slumped on his desk. After a few moments, he jerked up and grabbed his hair with his hands.
Han Meimei worriedly leaned over to check, and when Liu Jianming aimed his eyes at her, she immediately turned into the same evil smile she had always had.
"Mr. Jianming, did you have another problem with your brain early in the morning?" Han Meimei stepped forward and stroked the top of Liu Jianming's head, "I'm really worried about what will happen to you in the future." ”
Han Meimei had expected that Liu Jianming would argue with her, but to her surprise, Liu Jianming glanced at her, turned back again, and sighed. Seeing Liu Jianming's reaction, Han Meimei was really angry, and when she was about to say something, Liu Jianming spoke first.
"I'm sorry, Meimei, I'm really not in the mood to play with you right now." Liu Jianming put his head on the table again and took a deep breath. He didn't want to bother anymore, so much so that he directly called Han Meimei's name. "Honestly, I'm thinking about something that doesn't matter, but I just can't let go."
When Han Meimei saw Liu Jianming's appearance, she didn't say anything. She sat on the bench in front of Liu Jianming, with her arms on Liu Jianming's table, and looked at him with her head propped up.
"So, can you tell me about your troubles?" Han Meimei no longer smiled evilly this time, but said to Liu Jianming very seriously, "I'm really worried about your appearance." ”
Liu Jianming raised his head and looked at Han Meimei in front of him, now the person in front of him is no longer the bad-eyed girl he saw before who always teased him, but a serious and responsible squad leader. Seeing that someone cared about him, he suddenly felt a little better in his heart. After sorting out his thoughts, he told Han Meimei about his troubles.
"Meimei, you shouldn't mind if I call you that. Don't mind? That's good. How do you say this, for example, Meimei, do you think I'm a normal human being? ”
"Absolutely." Han Meimei nodded, then shrugged her shoulders again, "Except that sometimes it's completely abnormal to be in a daze." ”
"That's the answer I want." Liu Jianming rubbed his hair on the top of his head, "I think I'm a normal person. Enjoy the rose-colored youth in school, go into the society to be a step-by-step, well-behaved office worker, get married and have children after reaching the marriageable age, support the family, and then gradually raise your own children, watch the children live a good life, and you can live in your old age, this is my wish, do you think my desire is normal? ”
"Normal, but mediocre." Han Meimei commented, "Of course, I'm not qualified to say anything, after all, the vast majority of people will not be too different from this trajectory in the future." ”
"Mediocrity? Yes, it's mediocrity, I've never had much interest in any stormy adventures, and being able to live my life peacefully is my greatest pursuit. But, it didn't turn out as I hoped. ”
"What's wrong?" Han Meimei was puzzled, "Are you worried that you won't be able to find a good job after graduation?" Although there is no basis, I feel that you will become a great person in the future, I didn't lie to you, this is how I feel. ”
"So here's the problem!" Liu Jianming shouted excitedly, "I just want to live my life peacefully, who loves to be a great character!" I don't want to! ”
"Jianming, calm down!" Han Meimei hurriedly pressed Liu Jianming's shoulder and pressed him on the seat with all her might. Liu Jianming also calmed down, and after being silent for a while, he continued to talk about the previous topic.
"I can't tell you the details for some reason, but I'll tell you about the situation." Liu Jianming cleared his throat and continued, "About a month ago, I suddenly found that my physique was more special, and then my parents and their friends told me that I was different from ordinary people, and I must do great things in the future. Speaking of this, Liu Jianming laughed dryly, "Don't you think it's funny?" What's going on with this third-rate fantasy novel? Honestly, even though they all said that to me, I didn't feel it at all. ”
"Isn't this really your delusion, Mr. Jianming." Regarding the inconsequential words that Liu Jianming just said, Han Meimei made such an explanation.
"I wish I could, but unfortunately not." Liu Jianming scratched his head, "This matter is still relatively vague, so I haven't paid too much attention to it, but yesterday, a similar thing happened." ”
"Did someone tell you yesterday that you would do great things in the future?"
"It's not that ambiguous." Liu Jianming began to think about the saying, "To use a more understandable statement, I applied to work in a company some time ago, and I applied successfully last Saturday. ”
"Part-time jobs are not allowed, Mr. Jianming." Han Meimei said in the tone of the squad leader, "Please dismiss as soon as possible." ”
"So it's just a statement, don't worry about the details." Liu Jianming shook his hand, "In short, my purpose is very simple, I just want to exercise myself and broaden my horizons by the way, after all, I am a newcomer to work, I didn't expect to make any big money from the beginning." As a result, when I went out yesterday, I happened to meet an employee of the company, and he told me that I had been recruited into the company as a management officer from the beginning, and if I did well, I might even become a president-level person in the future. Tell me the truth, you don't believe it, do you? ”
"I don't believe it." Han Meimei quickly replied in the affirmative, "The story sounds too fake. ”
"I think so, too." Liu Jianming smiled bitterly, "But believe it or not, the reality is often more exciting than the story." From the very beginning, I only intended to be a cog in a machine, living and working step by step. As a result, countless people told me that I would be a big man in the future. To be honest, I was very upset. ”
Looking at Liu Jianming, who was holding his head in front of her, Han Meimei felt that what he said was not a lie. After thinking about it for a while, Han Meimei decided to say how to cure the root cause.
"So, why don't you give up?" Han Meimei leaned her head closer to Liu Jianming, "Those 'big shots', no one can force you to do it, right?" As long as you don't want to, no one else can do anything to you, right?"
Han Meimei thought that Liu Jianming would be as shocked as an initiation, and then thanked herself very excitedly. But to her surprise, Liu Jianming answered almost immediately.
"I can't do it." Liu Jianming raised his head and smiled weakly at Han Meimei, "I want to give up, but I can't." You probably won't believe it, but what I'm going to do will affect not only myself, but my parents and relatives, and even everyone, including you, almost all of them will have an impact because of my choices. ”
Liu Jianming raised his head to the sky and took a deep breath.
"So I can't do it, if everyone's lives change badly because of my cowardice, I won't be able to sleep."
Han Meimei looked at Liu Jianming's tired expression, and didn't know what kind of impulse she had, so she suddenly approached him and hugged his shoulder. Didn't care about the eyes of the others in the classroom.
"Don't worry." Han Meimei stroked the back of Liu Jianming's head, "I don't know what you're bothered about, but I know what kind of person you are." Rest assured, no matter what happens to you, I will support you. ”
After a while, Han Meimei let go of Liu Jianming's shoulder, and she soon found that Liu Jianming had changed from his original tired expression to a relieved and relaxed look.
"Thank you, Meimei." Liu Jianming scratched his face with a smile, "Hearing you say this, I feel much more relaxed." ”
Ten minutes later, the head teacher walked into the classroom. Liu Jianming patted his face, took a deep breath, and decided not to think about these things first, after all, no matter how much he thought about it, what should be done must still be done. Let's finish my days as an ordinary student for a few months first, Liu Jianming thought to himself. So he sat down in his seat as usual, and unconsciously began to be in a daze again.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for school in the afternoon, and Liu Jianming went to the playground to exercise as usual. Although all the tasks on the mandatory planning system have been shown to be completed after passing the standard combat personnel test, Liu Jianming has long regarded exercise as a habit, and he feels that something is missing if he does not exercise every day. Just as he was on his way to the playground, he suddenly saw a long-lost bright spot in his field of vision.
It was the figure of the mosquito - or the minid reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle - although it was only a bright spot in Liu Jianming's field of vision now, but since he could receive this highlight, it means that he can now control the mosquito.
Although he didn't care about the condition of this drone for a long time, Liu Jianming has been waiting for the opportunity to recover the drone. Although Liu Jianming himself has been given a ticket to the Naval Academy, Maya's situation is not so rosy. She had to get information from the Strauss twins, or at least why they had come to study, or she might be sent back to her original base at the end of the semester. Liu Jianming doesn't want this kind of thing to happen, and he doesn't want it in public or private. Yu Gong, Maya is an important breakthrough for him to infiltrate the Shengyang Navy, and her departure is very likely to make him lose an important support force in the Naval Academy. Yu Privately, he already regarded Maya as his very important friend, and he naturally didn't want his good friend to leave him. So when he received the mosquito signal, he felt very excited.
After receiving the mosquito signal, Liu Jianming saw a patch of hair, just like the image he had seen when he hid the mosquito on top of the Nazi officer's head. The voices heard were still young women and middle-aged men speaking in German. But what is different this time is that the nanobots in Liu Jianming's body have been able to translate German. So when the two were talking, the translated subtitles automatically appeared under Liu Jianming's field of vision.
“… How is the family doing now? Mom and Dad, are they all right? It was the voice of a young woman, and it was clearly Lucy Strauss questioning.
"Don't worry, Miss Strauss, your great-grandfather has already arranged everything, and your family is now in a safe place."
"But I read the newspaper last week that there was an attack near my house!"
"Don't worry, everything is very well protected, you can go to school here with peace of mind, miss, we soldiers in the embassy are at your disposal at any time."
"But!"
"You can live in peace, Miss Strauss." The middle-aged man didn't speak for a while, and Liu Jianming guessed that he might have tapped Lucy on the shoulder, "It's 8,000 kilometers away from your hometown, and those damn terrorists won't bother you, so you don't have to worry so much." ”
Although he had only listened to a few words, Liu Jianming's brain had already begun to think quickly. A safe place? Terrorist? Could it be ...... The biggest reason why the twins came to study almost half a world away was to avoid assassination?
After all, these two people are the great-granddaughters of the dead skull, Liu Jianming thought in his heart, if he wants to attack the dead skull, it is a very good choice to investigate through his relatives, after all, even the twins themselves said that their great-grandfather was very good to them, so the twins may have some key information about the dead skull. So in order to avoid possible kidnapping and pursuit, it is indeed a good choice to send the two to hide in a place far from home.
And the "terrorist" mentioned by the Nazi officer also made Liu Jianming very interested, after all, for the Nazis, those who resist themselves are called terrorists. Therefore, Liu Jianming speculated that those "terrorists" were most likely the anti-Nazi resistance groups in Germany, or even the cruiser organization where the protagonists of the new order of the German headquarters belonged. Liu Jianming made up his mind that he must find a way to contact the German resistance organizations in the future.
Neither of them said anything very noteworthy after that, and Liu Jianming controlled the mosquitoes to fly out of the man's hair and retrieve them into the cap of the fountain pen after the man was ready to leave. Liu Jianming decided to wait until he got home to extract the information recorded by the mosquitoes, and then continued to the playground to start today's exercise.
Because it took a lot of time to listen to Lucy Strauss's conversations with Nazi officers, Liu Jianming finished his workout much later than usual. When Liu Jianming walked out of the campus, the curfew time was not far off. But unlike the previous situation in which he hurried home, this time Liu Jianming walked on the road very calmly, touched his pocket, the identity card of the Naval Academy was still there, and Liu Jianming decided to take a good look at the evening of the city that he had never paid close attention to before.
Unlike the city where Liu Jianming lived before he traveled, due to the curfew, there was almost no light in the evening in the city, except for the street lamps that flickered from time to time, only the residential areas could still see more lights, and other areas such as markets and shops were already close to pitch black, and only the lights of the izakaya for the people of Shengyang were still on.
Just as Liu Jianming was observing the surroundings, he suddenly noticed that not far in front of him, a figure with a big-brimmed hat was walking towards him. Jean took a deep breath, took his ID card out of his pocket, held it in the palm of his hand, and walked forward with his head held high.
So now, I'm going to start pretending!
