Chapter III: Actions of the Organization
Nurse Han Jing opened the door of the medicine room, walked out quickly, and closed the door again. The whole process was so swift that no one noticed her, and even if they did, no one would suspect it. The young female nurse had a calm expression and a calm demeanor, busy but not chaotic, and outsiders didn't know what she was busy with.
But, perhaps even she hadn't noticed herself, when she closed the door of the medicine room and left, a small black worm that had been lying on her shoulder flew up and flew down the corridor with a slight sound, heading straight for the second floor of the hospital.
…………
Beijing Military Region, a small hidden building.
There is a small conference room in the building, and the location is very remote. In the morning, it should have been sunny, but in the shadow of the tall poplar trees on both sides of the building, the whole room was very dimly lit, and the atmosphere seemed oppressive and dreary.
In the main seat of the conference room, there sat a middle-aged and elderly man in a gray suit, his eyebrows were very light, but they were almost erect above the man's eyebrow bone. This person is often featured in news reports on television shows. It can be seen that this gray suit is the convener of this meeting.
On either side of the conference round table sat two distinct types of people. To the right of the gray suit sat a row of soldiers in crisp uniforms, each of whom was of no lower rank judging by the epaulettes. To the left of the gray suit sat another group of people, dressed in a variety of ways, some of whom were hardly dressed appropriately for such occasions. Among these people, their identities are diverse, some are top experts in marginal disciplines, some are experts in metaphysics, and there are also experts and scholars in architecture and public opinion.
No one spoke first, the room was filled with smoke, and most people had cigarettes between their fingers. The person at the head thought for a moment and said, "I usually don't bother with organizational matters, because I have a lot of other work. However, I have recently heard that many of our missions are not going well, and they are even completely at the disadvantage of Nanwu. ”
One of the soldiers who sat down looked like he was in his forties, and he said with some embarrassment: "Originally, the troops we sent to Sichuan this time have been strictly screened, and with the help of the old ghost, we have found the priest's burial pit. ”
"Rice bucket!" The gray suit scolded: "I don't care about the process, I only care about the result, but the result is that we didn't find the body of the legendary turtle spirit, but let others take the dishes in hand." ”
The middle-aged soldier was scolded, but he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to lower his head and stop talking.
At this time, a man on the left side of the table wearing a traditional white loose horse coat and a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist smiled, and said in a tone of voice: "I said before that this kind of task is entrusted to a stupid soldier, and there is no score. ”
As soon as the white coat said this, a very fat soldier on the opposite side was not happy, he shook his fat face, and said: "Hey, hey, cigarette Li, you pay attention, Lao Guan has a problem, that's his business, he can't bear it, don't bring us in." ”
"What do you mean I'm incompetent?" The middle-aged soldier responded to the fat soldier and said, "No matter how ineffective I am, I have finally found the priest burial pit of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which is better than you joining the organization for so many years and doing nothing." After speaking, Lao Guan turned his face to the white coat again, and said: "Yan cavity Li, what you said is not right, this mission is not only for soldiers, didn't the old ghost you always highly recommend also go, and the result is still a bamboo basket for water?" ”
For a while, the three of them actually argued.
The gray suit rubbed his temples, the official duties on weekdays were enough to make him haggard, he came here for a meeting today to find a solution to the problem, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so angry.
Thinking about it, the gray suit slammed the table a few times and shouted, "Okay! Don't fight in the nest. As I said, I don't ask about the process, I just want the result. Lao Guan, you did fail this mission, but fortunately, you can still move the tripod and bronze tree back, and you didn't go in vain. I'm not here to call you to a meeting to hear you arguing here, I want the next step. ”
Li leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and then said: "My meaning is already obvious, it has been proved that such a task is not suitable for soldiers to complete at all, it must be our group of professionals to participate, we join the organization not only to do research, we also want to participate in more expedition activities." ”
Several people sitting next to Li in the smoke cavity also nodded and agreed: "What Li Ye said is not wrong, it should be our group of professionals to take action, you see, the progress of our organization's work was very limited before, but since the old ghost came back, our task has made progress immediately, although we did not get the body of the turtle spirit this time, but we have still made great progress." ”
The gray suit fell silent for a while. It wasn't that he didn't want metaphysics people like Yancao Li and the others to participate in the organization's expeditions, but he was afraid that this group of scholars would take the opportunity to leave the organization. These people, although they nominally joined the organization, in fact, are formally equivalent to being placed under house arrest by the organization's system. Their freedom is severely curtailed, because the people of the organization are afraid that these scholars will leak so many years of research materials. Taking a step back, even if those people don't divulge secrets, if they take away the research materials that have been provided to the organization over the years, it will be a big blow to the organization. He didn't want anyone like Fan Jiyun's gang to appear in the organization.
As a government leader, Gray Suit knew very little about metaphysical matters, and he didn't even know what the people of the Lu Dao Organization were going to do after they found the body of the turtle spirit, he just acted according to the advice of these scholars. He didn't have any concept of the Wu Sect at all, he had only heard many years ago that the national government had a plan, and the core of this plan was to save the Wu Sect and use the power of the Wu Sect, as for what to do with this power, he didn't know at all.
Just when the gray suit was silent, a soldier sitting at the end suddenly spoke: "Chief, actually, I have always been suspicious of the old ghost. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's originally lowered heads were raised all of a sudden, and their originally gloomy eyes suddenly flashed brightly. Of course, this change in their eyes does not mean that they are excited, but that the words of this soldier make them feel a little strange, and maybe they will find a breakthrough in the matter.
The gray suit said: "Doubtful? You're saying that the old ghost betrayed us and told Nanwu about our plans? ”
Lao Guan, who sat down, immediately became energetic, and in order to excuse himself, he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, maybe the truth of the matter is like this, the old ghost was originally a person from Nanwu, and it is possible that he can do such a thing." ”
"Nope." The soldier who spoke just now immediately retorted: "Back then, the old ghost killed many people from Nanwu, and Nanwu would not let go of the old ghost, and the old ghost would never cooperate with Nanwu." ”
"Since it's not betrayal, what do you mean by suspicion?" Gray suit asked.
The soldier replied, "I suspect the old ghost is using us. ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere was suddenly silent for a while, everyone looked at each other, and then except for the gray suits, all of them opened their mouths and laughed, the experts and scholars on the left were fine, and the laughter of the soldiers on the right was like a wolf's howl. The chubby soldier laughed and said to the soldier who spoke: "I said Xiaocao, what are you talking crazy about here?" You say the old ghost is using our organization? Are you mistaken? The old ghost is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is always a person, and our power is all over the country, don't forget, the old ghost came to join us at that time, how could he use the organization, he is just a pawn of the organization. ”
The soldier didn't care at all about everyone's ridicule, and he said coldly: "The old ghost has never been to our organization, he has always been exchanging information with our organization, he provided us with some information about Nanwu's past, and we let him know the Yin Soldier to help him perfect his own spells. Don't you understand? The old ghost has always been on an equal footing with us, and he has never been subordinate to us. ”
During the whole process, the gray suit was the only one who did not smile, and he stared at the soldier who was sitting in the corner, and even had some difficult faces under the light. No one knew what was going on in his head.
