Chapter 472: Seeking Skin with the Tiger (1)
I stood side by side with the Night Pearl, feeling her exhaustion and frustration.
"It's a long time coming, and a momentary defeat is nothing. I whispered to comfort her.
She nodded gratefully: "Thank you for the relief, I just think that the world is so big, there are many masters, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, I have lived on an overseas desert island for a long time, and my understanding of the world is still a lot behind." In the past, I also received invitations from several major countries to join the national security department, but unfortunately at that time, I sat in the well and watched the sky, thinking that I could run amok with my own strength...... Now it seems that the insight is too superficial. β
I am also deeply touched by this.
When Yan Gexing of Yanwangfu first appeared on Qushuiting Street, he was also unstoppable and invincible, thinking that he was a visitor to the capital, and he was a step higher than the local thaumaturgists, and he was enough to level Jinan City single-handedly. As a result, as various forces appeared one after another, Yan Gexing's light was covered up layer by layer, and finally dimmed.
No one can survive forever, and no one can prosper forever. Only by recognizing this can we live peacefully on the rivers and lakes.
"If you want to go fast, you have to go alone, and if you want to go far, you have to go in a group. "I used a famous phrase often quoted by the female president of South Korea to comfort the night pearl.
Ye Mingzhu frowned slightly: "I often hear my friends say this, but she ...... Everyone has their own disguise, and although she often says it, she can't do what she says. I have a hunch that such a person will not be able to do it for long in any field, and if he forcibly ascends to the top, the results will be miserable. β
"Your friend isβ" I asked, surprised.
Night Pearl nodded, and without waiting for me to mention the name, she confirmed the answer.
I thought about it and was relieved. The Night Pearl floats and sinks on the sea all year round, and after it becomes famous, it will definitely be regarded as an object that can be wooed by all forces. Then, small countries such as South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore must have extended olive branches to her more than once and invited her to join the alliance as a courtesy. As a result, between her and the president of a small country, she is also an equal and a friend.
"It's far away, the matter of national politics, after all, it is very far away from the lives of the people of Jinan, let's just talk about the things in front of us, it is normal for your people to not be able to stop the attack of the 51 area, and it is not normal otherwise. Next, the real test must be Chen Dingkang. "I changed the subject in time.
"Alas-" Night Pearl let out another sigh, "Mr. Xia, if we can survive this catastrophe safely, and you are willing to develop in those countries, I can personally introduce you." I believe that with your talents, as long as you leave the mainland, you will definitely be able to move forward and start a magnificent map of life. β
Her eyes were very sincere, and this invitation was full of sincerity.
"I am Chinese and only fight for China. I flatly declined her offer.
"Patriotism and patriotism" is the principle of men, not to be transferred by wealth and poverty, difficulty and ease, and the ancients' iron-blooded precept of "rich and noble cannot be lewd, poor and lowly cannot be moved, and mighty cannot be bent" has locked the unbreakable spiritual shackles for the life of Chinese men.
"Okay, that's for later, put it aside for now, and we'll talk about it later. "The Pearl of the Night bows deeply.
We were about fifteen paces away from His Majesty, and as we talked, we watched him pacing back and forth.
Coincidentally, no one came in the parking lot at the moment, and there were only five of us left.
"Check, what's going on in the Gaijiagou International Warehouse Area. "Your Majesty commands.
The two gunmen used satellite phones to contact each other, and after only half a minute, they were reported: "A small-scale fire broke out in the third area of the warehouse, and it is suspected that the open flame was ignited by a faulty circuit, which spread to the second, fourth, and fifth areas, and the fire truck has arrived at the scene and is fighting the fire." In addition, there was an explosion accident in District 10, the roof of the warehouse was overturned, the cause of the explosion is unknown, and the police are intervening to investigate. β
"What an eventful night!" said His Majesty, touching the short beard on his chin, sighing with a heavy heart.
We didn't go over to disturb him, the amount of information we had learned was different, and it didn't help him think.
In other words, what is the most critical problem that a hunted person needs to solve? I guess it must be to design an ingenious counter-kill, to wipe out all the pursuers in one fell swoop, and to draw a successful end to this hunt. Night Pearl asked and answered herself.
She said that if you want to solve a problem once and for all, you need to uproot the people, things, institutions, and even countries that cause it. In that case, there would be no one to pursue the matter.
If this principle is placed on Chen Dingkang or the Lord of the Sharks, it is to completely eliminate Area 51 and cut off one of the Americans' hands, and the Pacific Ocean will be peaceful forever in the future.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Dingkang's hijacking by the Blue Devil has become a scam. The former just wanted to use this unique channel to enter Area 51 and then launch a counter-killing operation.
The thought of this instantly made me sweat. Previously, I had always been Chen Dingkang's "accomplice", intentionally or unintentionally promoting the development of this plan, and he used it again and again.
"Check again, where is the largest contact point of the shark people in Jinan?" His Majesty ordered for the second time.
The two gunmen did not call to inquire, but immediately replied: "In a lakeside villa in Changqing District, Jinan, there are about 60 guards at ordinary times. The interior of the villa was fortified with combat fortifications, and the explosion-proof concrete layers on the four walls, top and bottom were 1.5 meters, which could not be easily penetrated. β
His Majesty paced two more times, changed direction, and stopped in front of me.
"Senior, what do you command?" I took the initiative to speak.
If Tran's plan is so big, the final impact must be international and global. Then, according to the butterfly effect theory, the earth-shattering upheaval in Area 51 will definitely affect the west coast of the Pacific Ocean as well.
As one of the continent's thaumaturgists, I must rise to the occasion on the eve of the great change, turn the tide and help the building to fall.
Based on this, I will change my attitude and take the initiative to seek His Majesty's cooperation.
His Majesty was still in deep thought, his fingertips grinding his short whiskers.
"If the seniors are sent, please say so. I said.
If you put aside the difference in nationality and professional characteristics, His Majesty can indeed be called a senior in the thaumaturgical world. Although his political status in the 51st region is only in the middle and high-level, his skills and abilities are worthy of serious study by the younger generations.
"I don't dare to say send, but there is one thing that really bothers me, and that is...... Oh, we probably ...... There must be two lines, and they must work together. Mr. Xia, I have read your information, although you are young, you are a manufacturable material. Now, I'll just ask you, can you trust me completely?" His Majesty bowed his head, and his attitude had become very approachable.
I nodded without hesitation: "Of course I believe, at this moment, everyone is in the same boat, faith is the same life, and if you don't believe, you will die together." β
"Good. His Majesty replied with this word, and his furrowed brow suddenly expanded.
"Now, don't talk about it, don't talk about it!"
His Majesty nodded: "I'll take someone to Changqing, and you go to build a ditch." I'll give you a token of Region 51, and if you encounter a Blue Devil, he will see the token as if he were me, and he will definitely obey the command. Together, you try to capture Chen Dingkang alive, and you can't kill him on the spot unless you have to. β
In this arrangement, he undoubtedly regarded me and the Night Pearl as his comrades-in-arms.
I didn't ask for the consent of the Night Pearl, and immediately agreed: "Okay, that's it." β
His Majesty took out a stainless steel badge from his pocket and handed it to me slowly.
The badge is only half the size of a palm, with a pulsatilla carved on the front and the Arabic numeral "51" on the reverse.
"With this, all field personnel in the 51 area will be at their disposal. If you don't listen, the person holding the badge has the right to cut it first and then play it. Mr. Xia, if I hand it over to you, it is equivalent to handing over all my power within the organization to you, please use it carefully. His Majesty said.
I took the badge and carefully put it in my pocket.
Actually, I don't expect the Blue Devil to obey me. Obviously, His Majesty's expression was very solemn after hearing the voice of the Blue Devil on the phone. After he made the decision to turn around and attack Changqing Villa, I felt more and more that there was a big problem on the side of the Blue Devil.
"Let's go. His Majesty waved.
Night Pearl took out the car remote control and pressed it, and the headlights of an extended Ford off-road vehicle in the corner flashed twice.
This is her territory, and the cars, weapons, and men must be well prepared, although they can't fight against the people brought by His Majesty, but they are no problem for daily use.
As she walked over to drive, His Majesty lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Xia, people are in the whirlpool, how can they protect themselves?"
I replied lightly: "Hug Yuan Shouichi and stay awake." β
His Majesty smiled: "Okay, if you answer like this, I will be relieved." Remember, the lord of the merman belongs to everyone, not the personal property of a particular force. If someone wants to dominate the family, it must be wishful thinking. Remember my words, there are one hundred thaumaturgies in the world, and the 51 regions have accounted for ninety-nine points. If you want to make a difference in this area, joining our organization is perhaps the fastest way to grow. Mr. Xia, whether you have this need or not, I will always keep a door for you and look forward to your joining. β
Being valued by others is naturally something to be proud of. Unfortunately, I can only miss His Majesty's good intentions, because I have no intention of cooperating with foreigners.
The son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not poor at home. Any patriot should firmly remember these two sentences, not to be ambitious, not to be arrogant, but to work silently for his motherland, regardless of the harvest.
I shook my head, and before I could refuse a second time, His Majesty reported a name: "Mirror Room - Mr. Xia, remember this name." If you want to accomplish some really tough dreams, I think I can help you. β
The Mirror Room was also once the prey of Area 51, otherwise they wouldn't have sent someone to inspect it.
His Majesty's use of the "Mirror Room" as a condition of cooperation really moved me.
"How much do you know aboutβabout the Mirror Room?" I asked.
His Majesty laughed lightly: "Many, much, much more than the sum of what Chinese thaumaturgists know. Oh yes, there must be some Chinese who claim to have built their own mirror room, but no one can prove themselves. As for me, I know every part of the mirror room, know its rotation and revolution, and I can find him by following the clues. Mr. Xia, at this time, we might as well make a bet that does not involve monetary interests. If I find the mirror room and rescue your sweetheart, then you can give me a face and go back to the headquarters with me - if I can't find it, I will give you face, and within ten years, I will obey you. β
I smiled bitterly: "If you can't find her, what if you give you face?
Losing Tang Wan is equivalent to losing the whole world.
Although we are all members of the rivers and lakes, and we are involuntarily involved in various whirlpools, each of us wants to live well and do things that are more meaningful and realize the value of life. Finding Tang Wan is the foundation for me to be happy again, and it is indispensable. Compared to these, the dream of hegemony of the masters of the 51 region is really nothing.
"If you can't rely on anyone, why don't you ride a donkey and read the record bookβwe'll see?" His Majesty has a very good grasp of the Chinese language, and even uses this kind of after-talk skillfully and freely.
I really don't know much about the Mirror Room, after all, before it disappeared into the ground, I was always in the position of knowing it but not knowing why, passively pushed by many contradictions.
"Okay, bet on it. I nodded.
His Majesty raised his right palm, and I raised my hand and patted it lightly in his palm.
"I rarely work with Chinese, but Mr. Xia is an exception. Americans understand the Chinese, one Chinese is a dragon, three Chinese are a worm. Therefore, those maverick Chinese with real insight are the most precious resources on this earth, and once discovered, we will definitely not easily miss them. As a joke aside, we'd rather destroy them altogether than allow them to throw themselves into other camps and end up as our enemies. Mr. Xia, the reason why we can still stand here calmly and discuss the future is because I am sure that you and I can become friends. His Majesty smiled, his blue-brown eyes glinting with an eerie light.
I regret this perception that foreigners have about the Chinese, but this is an irrefutable fact.
In the nineties of the last century, there was a famous TV series "Pekingese in New York", and its plot is a good interpretation of the above sentence.
The Chinese are too shrewd and too prone to infighting, in response to another old saying - one mountain does not allow two tigers.
Your Majesty does not want me to become a strong enemy of Region 51, and I do the same, I do not want Region 51 to become a strong enemy of the Chinese.
"Hopefully, after this fight, we'll really become good friends. I say from the bottom of my heart.
His Majesty is a standard American, and the Blue Devil is Chinese, but the former knows how to negotiate and cooperate with the Chinese better than the latter, and the values they export can be consistent with the Chinese.
"When you see the Blue Devil, take care of him on my behalf. His Majesty said.
He said the word "care" very heavily, slowly, and secretly, which shows that the two words contain too many complex meanings.
"I will, take care of it well, take care of it, and kill it if you don't take care of it. I replied.
His Majesty frowned: "Mr. Xia, why do you say it so bluntly?"
I replied coldly: "He has done a lot of things that are sorry for the Chinese, and if he cannot accept the trial of Chinese law, he can only adapt to the situation and deal with it flexibly." Don't worry, though, this is on Chinese soil, where both criminals and victims will be fairly adjudicated. β
The Blue Devil will die, but only before his usefulness is completely drained.
"In that case, whatever you want. Anyway, all of us who were born into this world are sinful, and since we are guilty, we must atone for our sins. However, keep in mind that you can harm the interests of a certain Area 51 person, but you must not harm the national interests of the United States of America. Even our president does not have this privilege, otherwise he will be subjected to unearthly reprisals. His Majesty said.
