Episode 3 Departure
Seeing Linda's slightly gaffe performance, the two Smiths did not feel strange, but said very seriously: "That's right, we did find those terrible things, and this matter has attracted the attention of the United Nations, and it is no exaggeration to say that this thing has now threatened the security of all mankind." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Linda was shocked in his heart, and a huge sense of crisis quietly rose from the bottom of his heart, for those who had had fatal contact, he knew the horror of those things. Now that Smith has said this, it can be seen that the seriousness of the problem is obvious.
After a moment of silence, Lynda asked, "How did you find those things? Can you tell me more details? What is the purpose of your coming to me? Aren't you just to apologize to me on behalf of the Phantom?"
Smith and Martin looked at each other, hesitated slightly, and finally said, "Mr. Linda, this matter has involved the top secret of the United Nations. I'll tell you the truth, we found you this time mainly because of the alien energy you are studying. We hope that you will cooperate with us in our efforts to join an action plan related to the extraneous energy. It is no exaggeration to say that this plan is at stake for the safety of all mankind. If it succeeds, the terrible things that led to the death of your comrades will disappear from the earth forever, but if it fails, I'm afraid humanity will face a very terrible future. ”
Hearing this, Linda couldn't sit still any longer, he got up, paced back and forth in the room, and muttered, "I knew it was going to be like this!
Suddenly, Linda stopped and asked Smith with a suspicious expression: "Wait a minute! How did you know this news? It stands to reason that only the Phantom Organization has the authority to control an incident of this level, when will the FBI take care of it?"
Hearing Linda's questioning, Smith and Martin looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Hehe, it seems that there are some things that have to be analyzed with you first." Actually, we're not from the FBI, and we're just trying to disguise who we are. To be precise, we, like the Phantom, belong to the top secret department of the United Nations. I don't know if you heard of the Blue Shield when you were serving in the Phantom?"
"Blue Shield?!You're actually from this department?!"
Hearing Smith's words, Linda was dumbfounded.
The Blue Shield organization that Smith refers to, like the Phantom, is also another secret organization under the United Nations, but at a higher level. As early as the fifties of the twentieth century, with the improvement of human knowledge and the development of space technology, various countries successively carried out research on various mysterious events. In 1957, the U.S. government led countries to set up an organization specializing in the study of paranormal phenomena in nature, including unidentified creatures, UFOs and third-class contacts, which was the predecessor of Blue Shield. In 1984, the five United Nations Councils convened more countries to form the Blue Shield on the basis of the organization, whose purpose is to study these supernatural phenomena and special creatures, and to work to ensure the safety of human contact with these mysterious things.
Every year, the United Nations secretly allocates a large amount of money and personnel to the Blue Shield, and everything about the organization is kept strictly secret, and less than half of the heads of United Nations allies are aware of the existence of the organization. Although the Blue Shield organization is not huge, it has great power, and in terms of the power to investigate mysterious events, it can even intervene in the affairs of a country and deploy and command a certain degree of national power. Even the Phantom Organization, where Linda once belonged, was a military force under it.
Smith and Martin each pulled out a blue ID card at the same time and displayed it in front of Lynda's eyes. I saw an oval blue shield painted on the cover of the document, flashing like an ocean, which was the identity of the blue shield personnel. Seeing this document, Linda finally confirmed the identities of the two, he had also dealt with the people of the Blue Shield when he was in the Phantom, so he naturally recognized this document that could never be imitated. And when he thought of what Smith had just said, his face was even more cloudy.
"Tell me what you are looking for me. Linda sighed and asked in a deep voice.
Smith smiled slightly and said in a very affirmative tone, "Because you are one of the most suitable participants in this project." ”
"I'm the best person, why, does it have something to do with the abilities I'm studying?" Lynda was amazed, unable to figure out what was so strange about herself.
Smith nodded and said slowly, "That's right. This secret project requires someone like you who has a knack for extraterrestrial energy. You also know that there are very few people in the world who really study foreign energy, and it is our luck to find you. Moreover, you have been the best soldier of the Phantom Force, and have participated in many secret operations of the United Nations, and you are the best candidate in terms of quality, skill, courage, etc. So, we desperately need you to join us. ”
Hearing this, Linda suddenly fell silent.
In fact, he did not resist the suggestion that Smith had just made, and even faintly felt the urge to agree immediately. In his past military career, his most important duty was to protect the safety of humanity and the earth, and it was this belief that led him to devote himself to finding alien energy and solving the mysterious mystery of killing monsters. Now that he heard the monster that had violated him again, it suddenly triggered a strong sense of military mission. But the paradox is that he can't accept such a change in his heart for a while, after all, he was driven out of the phantom two years ago because of the alien energy monster time, and now he is recalled because of his consent, and he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
As if seeing through the hesitation in Linda's heart, Smith smiled faintly and said slowly: "Mr. Linda, we understand your past. You were once kicked out of the phantom for discovering an alien energy creature, and in order to prove yourself, you have been working hard for more than 2 years to study the alien energy and try to find the alien energy creature to prove your innocence, and it seems that you have also achieved some results. Unfortunately, your work has not been recognized by the academic community, many people have expressed skepticism about your research, some have laughed at you, and even your school thinks you are fooling. It is precisely because you have not received any recognition that there is a shortage of scientific research funds, and you have been in the position of teaching assistant for a while, and the development of your career has also been affected. Am I right?"
"Yes, you're right. Linda smiled bitterly and admitted very simply, what Smith said directly pointed out the most unwilling and helpless place for him to face.
Smith nodded, smiled slightly, and continued, "To be honest, we didn't understand the importance of your research until we started this operation. But things are different now, and we have discovered that your research, while indeed very different, is currently outstanding in the field of extraenergy research as far as we know. Now, we can give you a chance to get rid of being ridiculed and denied by others and prove yourself again, and that is to join our program. Lynda, seriously, this plan is very important, it is absolutely related to the safety of all mankind, whether it is public or private, we hope you will join us. ”
Hearing Smith's words, Linda's heart chuckled, and a look of excitement appeared on her face.
Not to mention the big words about defending the safety of humanity, how much hard work he has put into studying alien energy over the years, but apart from those who are particularly curious, who have understood him, affirmed him, supported him, and even his mentor has repeatedly persuaded him to abandon this hopeless research. In the eyes of many, his research is nothing more than a deceptive trick, and it is impossible to ascend to the high halls of academia. If it weren't for Stanford's insistence on an inclusive and liberal academic atmosphere, the fact that he also teaches several other courses part-time, and more importantly, the covert support of domestic organizations, I am afraid he would have been fired a long time ago.
In fact, deep down in Linda's heart, she also fantasized about the day when her research results would be recognized by the authoritative academic community and win the Nobel Prize! On the podium of honor, countless flowers, applause and glory surrounded her, and then she confidently returned to the phantom to prove her innocence...... But all this is just wishful thinking, no one approves of his research, he is just a small teaching assistant at Stanford University.
Thinking of the opportunity to change the situation, Linda was moved, he stood up and paced around the room, his heart constantly struggling repeatedly. Suddenly, he stopped and asked again, "You just said that this job still has a certain amount of danger, what is the danger?"
"Mr. Linda, we can't tell you for sure out for the sake of secrecy, but the danger of this plan is real. But danger always comes with honor, and there is no reward without giving, am I right?" Smith said.
"Last question, what do the Dragons think of the project I've joined?" Lynda asked in a deep voice, staring into Smith's eyes.
Smith smiled slightly, and asked Martin to take out a document from his briefcase, and Linda opened it, and the knot on his brow suddenly untied. He took a deep breath, looked at Smith again, and after a few seconds, finally made a decision that would affect his life.
"Well, you're right, it's a very important opportunity. I hope that when I am old, I will not regret rejecting you, and I join!" said Linda firmly.
Smithton smiled, very pleased with Linda's decision, stepped forward to shake Linda's hand, and said, "Mr. Linda, you are welcome to join us! ”
Linda asked curiously, "Pack your bags, are we going on a long trip?"
Smith nodded and smiled, "Yes, we do have to make a long trip, and it may take quite a while. ”
Linda shook his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "Okay, everything will be done according to your arrangement." But if you can get me home right away, and be able to deal with Principal Kurt's side..."
Hearing Linda talk about Principal Kurt, Smith and Martin immediately smiled at each other.
......
In Stanford's bachelor apartment, Linda quickly packs her bags. The perennial military life has long made him develop the habit of going out at any time. In a large backpack in the cupboard, several sets of outdoor military clothing and various outdoor equipment are kept for a long time, and they can be taken out and used anytime and anywhere. This time, Linda also stuffed his usual research laptop into his backpack, which recorded almost all of his research data over the years. Of course, he didn't forget to put on a high-powered Desert Eagle pistol for hunting, dozens of rounds of ammunition, and a multi-purpose hunting knife, which he must bring with him on his adventures.
After making sure nothing was missed, Linda called her parents in China, "I may have to leave school for a while, so you don't have to call my landline... Okay mom, don't worry, it's okay this time, you won't get into any trouble... Will definitely come back before the Chinese New Year... I love your mom, say hello to me and dad on my behalf. After putting down the phone, Linda took her backpack and walked out of the apartment, and got into Smith's car without hesitation.
......
A little more than an hour later, a large military transport plane took off from Los Angeles Airport. Sitting on the side of the cabin, Linda looked at the ground farther and farther away, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart. He kept flicking a falling object on his chest that was tightly sealed with a red cloth with one hand, feeling a trace of warmth coming from it, and then he felt a little relieved. At this time, he only hopes to complete the task as soon as possible and have a good Spring Festival with his family.
The plane soared into the sky, gradually moving away from the ground and into the deep sky. Linda didn't know that his trip was actually a farewell to his family and friends.
