……

Moscow, just after seven o'clock in the morning.

Walking out of the already familiar apartment door and feeling the unique wisps of coolness of the early morning here, Long Yun subconsciously tightened his collar.

Waking up from his dazed sleep, Long Yun returned to this strange parallel world a little inexplicably; Probably the difference between the tropical climate and Moscow is a bit big, which makes him a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

Having said that, the last few crossings have almost all happened without thinking about it deliberately, but subconsciously.

Does this mean that he has begun to get used to such a life of dressing around?

Returning to this parallel world again, having a delicious breakfast in the apartment, according to the arrangement of the KGB agent, Long Yun got into a nondescript Moscovite car and drove through the streets that were still somewhat deserted.

On his agenda today is to visit the headquarters of the Soviet State Security Committee at 11 Lubyanka Avenue in Moscow, the intelligence center of the vast Soviet Union.

The KGB (КГБ), perhaps the largest and most mysterious national security organization on the planet, has a rather vague impression of him, and some people compare it to the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) in the United States, and even the British Military Intelligence Service and Israel's Mossad.

Such a statement is not enough to accurately describe the KGB; In fact, in terms of its well-organized, large-scale, or wide-ranging areas of responsibility, the KGB is probably more than equal to the sum of these world-famous institutions.

The predecessor of the KGB originated from the "All-Russian Special Committee for the Suppression of Anti-Revolution and Sabotage" (All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Anti-Revolution, transliterated as "Che*ka") established in Petrograd (now Leningrad) in December 1917; It took several changes in history to evolve into the huge organization it is today. In those long years of chaos, the KGB, like the powerful apparatus of any country, made countless mistakes, big and small; But in the primary duty of defending the sovereignty of the Soviet Union and purging enemies and traitors, such mistakes were relatively rare.

It may be difficult for those who are not familiar with the history of the Soviet Union to understand why the superpower has such a mysterious and seemingly omnipotent ad hoc institution as the KGB: Red Russia, born in the smoke of artillery and gunfire, Red Russia, and later the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, were destined to be associated with such a mysterious and powerful organization in the decades of history of blood and fire; It can be said that the existence of the KGB was a strong guarantee for the survival and development of the Soviet Union, and this has been proved by countless historical facts.

But...... What kind of existence is the KGB?

In countless films and street tabloids that fill the West, the KGB is often portrayed as a brutal and insidious, but bloodthirsty and murderous spy organization; They secretly operate everywhere for the purpose of launching a bloody revolution, and they do not hesitate to take risks and trample on worldly norms......

Unfortunately, however, this description does not help to understand the appearance of this being, except that it reflects the blind fear of a considerable number of people.

An organization like the KGB has a huge and complex internal organization, and the management fields range from traditional state secrets to the collation of historical archives. If you want to spread it out, it is probably enough to open a special major to cultivate research talents, and the degree can be set all the way to the level of a postdoctoral, which is not unbelievable.

But in short, the purpose of the existence of such a state security apparatus as the KGB was, in essence, to maintain the normal operation of the Soviet Union's huge machine; To do this, he must constantly contend with a variety of enemies, both from external destructive forces and with internal problems.

Just like the human immune system, it is impossible and not allowed to stop working as long as there is a breath of life.

As a powerful institution that exists for such a purpose, it certainly cannot be a civilized place of warmth; Many rumors of horror about the KGB have also been circulating in the world, casting a thick layer of mystery over this institution.

However, at least in the Soviet Union, if you were a law-abiding ordinary citizen, you might never find out about the existence of the KGB for the rest of your life; But if you are a spy or spy operating in the Soviet Union, then you will soon witness that he will be present every day of your life, investigate everywhere you appear, and in the end, maybe personally send you on the last journey of your life.

Sounds scary? Not really.

Whether something is really scary or not often depends on the observer's position; It's that simple, what do you think?

Anyway, when he stepped on the wide square of Lubyanka Avenue and approached this huge building with a dark gray ground floor and brown and yellow upper floor, Long Yun had this idea, so he didn't feel nervous at all.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the car but for him to find it himself, these huge buildings near Moscow's Lubyanka Square are really inconspicuous from a distance.

Unlike the gloomy and terrifying, high-walled and mysterious base in ordinary film and television works, the headquarters of the headquarters of the Soviet Union, which terrifies the West but is helpless, is so easily accessible.

However, being easily accessible does not mean that it is easy to infiltrate or even sabotage.

The vast Moscow region of the Soviet Union was originally one of two locations where the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces had a ballistic missile defense system deployed; Under the cover of superficial cooperation and verification, several missile launching bases located on the outskirts of cities have been deployed with the latest interceptor missiles, and their interception capabilities for long-range and even intercontinental missile warheads are already considerable.

As the heart of a vast empire, this is arguably one of the safest places in the entire country, if not on the planet.

Under the guidance of the detective, walking into the spacious office building, Long Yun keenly felt that there were quite a lot of people working in this huge building: a large number of streams of consciousness were rushing around in his mind, and it was really convenient to spy on intelligence, but Long Yun was not interested in this, and there was no such need at present.

Having come here according to the arrangement, what he wanted to know most now was about the mysterious silver-gray suitcase; Whatever it was, he instinctively thought it had something to do with his recent wonderful situation.

However, to his surprise, the first thing he saw was a young lady in the elevator through the corridor to an office on an unknown floor.

And this lady, he had clearly seen and known before.

"Ah, you're here so early, Victor!"
