Chapter XXXIII: Unexpected Intervention

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The British MI6 announced yesterday that it had uncovered an ACA intelligence group that had been dormant for many years with the help of the Special Investigative Directorate of Allied Military Intelligence, which is believed to have carried out several assassinations and sabotage in the UK, with the main victims being members of the public who leaned towards the Alliance...... This is the biggest result of the British authorities joining the alliance, and Downing Street said that it will further cooperate with the Icarus side to defend national security......"

"Morris. Ethan ......"

Just as the middle-aged knight left Ethan's room, he didn't notice that in the distance, on the second floor, a red-haired girl was using a telescope to lock his back.

"How did you know he had a problem?"

Charlotte. Cromwell watched the middle-aged man's back disappear around the corner, then turned his head to look at Logan, who was resting one hand on the keyboard. Craig.

"You reminded me."

Logan's tone of reply was rarely prickly, but apparently because the young man with full brain didn't care about sarcastic girls, his right hand kept sliding across the screen, occasionally typing in a few letters.

"There are several doubts about Ling Yu and Jiesi's actions in South Africa, this Ethan's foundation is obviously not clean, in other words, it is better to say, in that environment, how can there be people who have washed their foundations so white?"

Logan shook his head lightly and continued to add, "Now that I think about it, it's true, whether it's Ling Yu or Jiesi, they haven't had this kind of experience of struggling to survive at the bottom of society without any strength, and their understanding of Ethan is obviously too superficial. ”

"I'd rather you hadn't experienced that."

Charlotte leaned over on the windowsill, clasped her hands to her chest, and whispered.

"I don't feel like it's a gratitude." Logan finally retorted as usual, and then tapped heavily on the holographic keyboard, "So." This question arises, and the cavalry team is due to the fact that it is Jeunse. As the guarantor, Meinuo did not have a good review of Ethan, and Jess and Ling Yu were busy with the next task and thought that the cavalry would review Ethan...... It's a classic Ringelmann effect. ”

"Probably from another angle, considering that Ethan is a spy even if he is an ACA. It won't cause too much danger. Charlotte left the windowsill, turned and walked into the kitchen, put on her insulated gloves, took the baking tray out of the oven, picked up a kitchen knife and began to break down the whole chicken inside.

"Time is never an issue for spies, Albert. Ottel lurked in Scapa Bay for thirteen years before he was rewarded with a 'boiler explosion' on the Ark Royal. The smell of roast chicken came from the kitchen, and Rogan rubbed his nose. You should know better than I am, the Valkyrie of the Royal Navy. ”

"My history is a perfect score." Charlotte nodded, then brought the broken roast chicken to the table and looked at Logan, "What should I do, do you want to inform the cavalry or the allies?" ”

"Not just yet, I don't want more variables." Logan shook his head, "At least not until we find Ling Yu." ”

Charlotte nodded. Sit across from the dinner table and hand the fork to Logan. Then I picked up a fork, inserted a potato under the chicken, and put it in my mouth.

"You Brits have finally learned to eat chicken? I thought potatoes and fish were all you had, and honestly, that dinner 18 years ago was ...... Shit. ”

"On the other hand, considering the intelligence we gathered. Ethan and Helis are very close, if he is really the seed that Marven left in the cavalry, then I am afraid that something big will happen. ”

Charlotte gracefully picked up the knife and pulled the meat off the wings, then shoved the fork into her mouth, "Do you want to inform them?" ”

"Helis is not as innocent as you think. Her scheming runs much deeper than you think. Logan took a piece of chicken breast and stuffed it into his mouth, but he couldn't say anything about the sarcasm that had already reached his lips.

It's delicious......

But the words of praise couldn't be spoken, and after a moment of silence, Rogan had no choice but to change the topic, "After all, the person who can make Ling Yu feel at ease to inform his real-time location definitely has a set of means. ”

That's why Logan and Charlotte came to Cambridge - if they want to find Ling Yu, the best way to start is to find Herris.

It's an obvious thing, but not everyone has the potential to gain Herris's trust, and Logan happens to be one of the few.

It's just that the two of them find out that things are not so simple after they get here, and Charlotte notices that Helis obviously didn't just come to school, and Ethan's storage zΓ i makes Logan even more wary.

So the two of them discussed it and decided not to startle the snake first, and then observe the situation.

"It's the prom next week, do you think Ling Yu will definitely come?"

After a moment of silence, Charlotte spoke first to break the silence.

"He'll come." Logan shook his head, "Don't ask why, I just know." ”

"If he comes, how are you going to meet him?"

"We'll find out then."

Logan was not silent and responded directly.

***

A day later, New York JFK International Airport, Terminal 13.

A large Pan Am airliner slowly pulled to rest on the bridge, a long-haul flight from Cuba to New York, which would continue to Chicago after customs clearance in New York.

However, most passengers will disembark in New York, a city that was devastated by the Second American Civil War and later lost its status as a global financial center, but still lives here by nearly 10 million people, and, as when the city was founded, with its two major rivers and deep-water port, remains an important freight and logistics hub in northeastern North America.

The city's splendor doesn't just exist in the old movies.

"This stuff makes me feel like I can't breathe."

Ling Yu dragged a suitcase out of the covered bridge and headed in the direction of customs, he stretched out his hand and gently pulled his neckline, but it wasn't because of the collar.

Because Ling Yu's current face is that of a white-collar worker about 22 years old.

Brown hair, blue pupils, a high nose bridge and a square chin. Coupled with a pair of flying sunglasses, he couldn't see the face of an Oriental at all, just like any white-collar elite who had just graduated and had an excellent job.

"The disguise mask is like that, in order to cope with the scan, you can't make it too breathable, hold on."

Arya. Sinaire also pulled a trolley case with some miscellaneous items in it, and wrapped one hand around Ling Yu's arm. The two of them were the same as on the customs clearance text, disguised as a pair of white-collar workers who had just returned from a vacation in Cuba.

Cuba did not join the League, but it did not turn to the ACA, but became one of the few transit points between the ACA and the League, a bit like Rio de Janeiro in the past, but undoubtedly Cuba is more advantageous.

The two sides have tacitly agreed not to station troops around Cuba, although there was a struggle over Cuba at the height of the conflict more than a decade ago, but now it is dominated by conservatives in the ACA in South America. This neutral country now functions as a transit point between the two sides.

However, people from Cuba have to go through almost strict inspections, after all, both sides are well aware of each other's layout, especially after the Washington incident, the alliance has greatly increased the harsh procedures of border control.

Ling Yu and Arya followed the crowd to the customs checkpoint, and naturally stood at the end of the line of the "Alliance Citizens" column, maintaining a natural and guarded distance from the people around them.

"I didn't know you were good at this."

Ling Yu spoke in a low voice, he was talking about Arya's cross-dressing skills.

"I played for a while when I was in Prague."

Arya replied naturally. Ling Yu naturally thought that it was Arya who had lost her parents and was wandering in Prague to survive. There should be something learned.

After a veiled exchange, a customs officer approached and politely interrupted the line with a barrier in his hand. Everyone who enters the customs needs to go through a series of inspections, and the first one is the TF inspection.

The light of the genetic scanner enveloped everyone, and Arya subconsciously clenched Ling Yu's arm. Under Ling Yu's black sunglasses, the hollow eyes opened, lightly intercepting, interfering with and modifying the number of the two of them that the scanner had obtained.

"I hope they do the same."

The scan is over, and a qiΔ“ is as usual. Arya spoke, and Ling Yu noddedβ€”it was Vivien and Payne who she was talking about.

Payne and Vivian entered the customs from another airport, although Vivian really wanted to be in a group with Ling Yu, but Ling Yu's age was too scary to have such an older daughter, and her sister was too young, as for other relatives, it was very likely that they would be taken care of by the border control.

As a result, Vivien can only pout and play Payne's daughter.

Although they don't have a hollow artifact, they also have gadgets prepared by Helice, in addition, Payne is wanted by the cavalry, not by the alliance, after the Iceland incident, many knights in the cavalry team have left the team and attacked the ACA in their own way, and the cavalry team really has no time to pursue these defected knights, as long as they don't collude with the ACA, then they basically turn a blind eye.

As for Vivian, although she is a wanted criminal in the alliance - unlike Ling Yu's wanted control, Vivian did violate the criminal law of the alliance, including snatching black technology weapons, attacking alliance soldiers, etc., but relying on the small things given to them by several princesses, it is not easy to be discovered, and it is indeed not easy for children to attract the attention of border control personnel - even if it is the ACA, it is just a waste of resources to send such a small TF to infiltrate the alliance.

A 9-year-old TF can take out a sturdy ordinary soldier with his bare hands, let alone cause any damage - of course, this is only for ordinary TF, Vivien is at full power, and it is not difficult to have a "Russian ban" at the airport every minute.

Ling Yu and Arya chatted with each other, and walked along the line to the customs.

"Look at the camera, then put your fingers on the fingerprint verification device."

The border inspector took Ling Yu's passport and flipped it casually, without raising his head -- the role of the border inspector was actually only to solve a job position, and most of the inspections relied on computers.

Ling Yu took off his sunglasses and pointed his mechanical eye at the camera, which could both check the iris and scan his face, but he was deceived by the void without any suspense.

As for fingerprint scanning, a layer of camouflage stickers is enough, and the technology of two hundred years ago is to prevent gentlemen and villains.

After Ling Yu finished doing it, it was Arya's turn, and the girl didn't need any disguise at all - Arya. Sinaire is the only innocent person in the New Prism Squad.

"At the age of twenty-three, I became an employee of Sanlian Pharmaceutical, which is good."

The border inspector sighed, then pressed the customs clearance seal, and returned the text to Ling Yu, Ling Yu put on his sunglasses again, and then responded with a smile, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and the border inspector looked at Arya again, "You are really good at picking people." ”

"Everybody says that."

Arya showed a sweet smile, then grabbed Ling Yu's arm, put her head on it, and pushed Ling Yu through the barrier.

"Women are really natural actors."

Ling Yu hugged Arya and smiled, then stepped away.

But at this moment, Ling Yu was suddenly stunned for a moment, his whole body instantly tensed, although he couldn't see anything abnormal, but Arya who was holding his arm clearly felt it.

"We're in company." (To be continued......)
