Chapter 547: Lady Hong's Last Battle (3)
I can't describe the mood at this moment, Tang Wan's return is the end of all disasters, all the twists and turns experienced in the middle have been wiped out to zero, and all personnel are insignificant, and they have become a dream.
The appearance and destruction of the mirror room represents the disappearance and reappearance of Tang Wan, and I should thank God for disappointing me again when there was absolutely no hope, and let Tang Wan return to the world alive with the last straw.
"Americans' technology is already at the top of the human world, but outside of this category, there are many things that we can't understand and can't do. The ancients attributed it to fate, and from the point of view of physics, those are also traceable, but beyond the scope of human cognition. The Mirror Chamber, a small step for human beings to move from the known to the unknown, has an incomparably positive significance. When I saw the Mirror Room, I saw the huge technological gap between China and the United States. If our generation of young people can catch up, they may be able to narrow the gap infinitely, but if they want to catch up, it must be an unknown number......" Tang Wan sighed with emotion.
I didn't ask about her identity, or what happened to the Mirror Room while it was sneaking underground.
Everything is unknown, waiting for us to explore together. There is hope, and everything can start all over again.
After resting and relaxing, Tang Wan took out a large black envelope from her backpack.
"It was given to me by the crew who rescued me, and they relayed the owner's words that I could open it after I had a week's rest, and there were some things in it that I needed help with. Tang Wan said.
It was a very elaborate envelope, with a dark and shiny background, and a totemic symbol woven of silver thread embedded on the surface.
The symbol, which is about an inch square, is a flower-like English symbol "x" surrounded by a circle.
I pinched the envelope, which contained only a few sheets of paper, thin and weightless.
When I opened the envelope, it turned out to be the same envelope inside, but it was slightly smaller. On the front of the small envelope was a line in small Chinese - "Presented to Mr. President of the United States to be personally opened."
The words are written in silver ink, in italics, and the pen is old, and at a glance you know that it is written by someone who has been using Chinese for a long time, and between the lines, with full freedom.
For some reason, this line reminds me of when I was a child. At that time, I was attending Qinglong Street Elementary School on the east side of the moat, and from the first grade, the teacher asked everyone to practice calligraphy according to the calligraphy. When I first learned the block letters, when the penmanship was neat enough in the fourth grade, I began to try to connect the lines and practiced until I graduated from elementary school.
Qinglong Street Primary School is the order of the school for Jinan No. 5 Middle School, after the middle school, there is still a fixed calligraphy practice class within three years, and the teacher is very strict, even those students who are not very good in cultural classes, three years down, can also practice a good hand.
When Chinese characters are practiced to a certain extent, they will naturally increase the spirit of the writer himself, which is the truth of "words are like their people, and their words are like their people".
This line reminds me of an old man, an old man who should have been dead a long time ago.
"Give it to the president?" Tang Wan picked up the envelope suspiciously, examined the line again, and looked at the light carefully.
The black envelope blocks out all light, and nothing can be seen unless the seal is opened.
"There's paper in there, thinner paper, maybe just one sheet. Tang Wan flipped the envelope again and again.
The letter was handed over to the president, so Tang Wan and I had no right to open it.
"It seems that the other party saved you, not by chance, but by necessity. I said.
The two of us frowned and looked at each other, and we thought about it for a long time, but we still couldn't guess the owner's intentions. It could be a ransom note, a poisonous letterhead, or a vicious curse. In short, although the letterhead is thin, it can carry great meaning and detonate complex changes.
"I will contact the president. I said.
It was easier to contact the president through Toms, especially since I and the president went through the hijacking together, and our relationship became much closer and easier to communicate.
"Okay, let's tell the other party the truth, and the other party will decide whether to take the letter or not. Tang Wan said.
With her intelligence, of course, I could see my doubts and worries.
We are not enemies of the President of the United States and do not want to be the head of the enemy attacking him.
"Okay, I'll contact Toms right away. "Without further ado, the sooner this matter is resolved, the more relieved Tang Wan will be.
Thomas was very vigilant, and after listening to what had happened, he immediately said that he would send several anti-terrorism experts with fluoroscopy and security equipment to avoid accidents. He is more careful and cautious than Tiger, so he seems to be a little cautious, which is probably the reason why his official fortune is not as prosperous as Tiger.
In fact, in the position of Thomas and Tiger, it takes the ambition of a lion, the cunning of a fox, and the timidity of a rabbit to handle everything step by step.
The tiger was radical and suffered an accident.
His character determines fate, and no one can do anything about it.
"There have been stationery explosions all over the world, *which can grind soft* as thin as white paper and lead as thin as a shoelace, and the power of the explosion will not be diminished, at least it will leave no one in a large office. Mr. Xia, thank you for telling me the truth first, and I believe that our future cooperation will be smooth sailing. Thomas said.
He was extremely efficient, and twenty minutes after putting down the phone, he had already arrived at the door of my room with a team of experts.
The experts each carried a black mini explosion-proof box, and as soon as they entered the hotel, they immediately put on their helmets, masks, and fire-proof overalls.
Thankfully, the scan revealed that the envelope contained only a piece of letterhead with a long phone number written on it.
The letter was addressed to the president, and the phone number was left for him to call.
"Judging by the number, it belongs to Switzerland, and its registered place is a small town in the mountains of northern Switzerland. However, the communication signal can be transferred an unlimited number of times, just like the broiler in the attack and defense war of a computer virus. The advice I would like to give to the president is to call the number and see what the other person wants. What do you say?" asked Toms.
Since it's just a phone number, it won't do any harm to the president, and the remaining question is just a matter of whether to call or not.
Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned.
The owner of the ship that rescued her went to such great lengths just to pass a number to the president, which is really a big fuss.
"Can you contact the people on that ship?" asked Toms.
We have already done this, and the information left by the crew who escorted Tang Wan to the hotel is all fake, the phone call cannot be reached, and the registration information of the ship is also fake. If nothing else, the crew has vanished.
Thomas consulted with the president's chief of staff, and after obtaining permission, left with the letter.
"Hopefully, this matter will not be complicated and cause us new problems. Tang Wan sighed.
"There's enough trouble, and one more thing won't come out. Now that you're back, what do we have to worry about?" I said.
Tang Wan was beside me, and I immediately felt that the world outside me had become colorful.
Tang Wan had already told me intermittently what had happened after the separation, and she was trapped in the mirror room, and every twenty-four hours felt like a year. If he hadn't practiced Taoist meditation in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan since he was a child, he would have died of mania and madness.
In fact, several of the people trapped in the mirror room committed suicide because they couldn't bear the torment, and they were losing their staff every day. The rest of the people who are alive are guarding against attacks from hostile forces, and they are terrified and struggling.
"The only one who is not subjected to this torture is the soul of the great man of Japanese militarism. I could sense his presence, and he walked through the mirror room, spying on the living. I doubt that soul will survive forever, never die, never die. If the Japanese master can use the 'Soul Restoration Technique' to restore him, then the end of the three wars and the end of the earth will not be far away. Tang Wan said.
There has been too much talk about the Japanese big man before, and a lot of pen and ink has been laid out in historical records and media compilations, pushing him to a position comparable to that of the Nazi Führer.
This does not bode well, and if Japanese militarism continues to rise, it will seriously affect peace in the Asia-Pacific region.
Speaking of that big man, Tang Wan's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he once again experienced the horror of being spied on by a jackal.
I hugged Tang Wan and comforted her softly: "It's all over, it's just a dream." ”
"yes, just a dream. Tang Wan cried, "A dream of nine deaths, after waking up from the dream, we have all changed a lot, and we must re-examine the world around us." What I am really worried about now is not my own safety, but the future of my country and nation. You said that the Japanese are very interested in the mirror room, or what they want is the soul of the big man. The soul is not afraid of the pressure of the deep sea, does not need to breathe, and as long as the thaumaturgy that imprisons him fails, he can escape freely. So I suspect that at this moment the big man has fled and joined the Japanese. If so, our operation against the Chamber of Mirrors has been a complete failure. ”
That's what I'm trying to say, and it's really disheartening to come to such a conclusion.
At the end of all the operations, it was the Japanese who really succeeded, and the other forces became meaningless stage backdrops, coming in high spirits and leaving in despair. What's even more terrifying is that after the Japanese Ninjutsu Alliance obtains the soul of that big man, it must have a strong follow-up means, so that it can exert unimaginable power, stir up the rivers and lakes, and cause trouble again.
"The more turbulent storm is about to begin. Tang Wan said.
We stood side by side in front of the window, looking out at the gray clouds hanging from the summits of distant mountains.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and all the omens point to an ominous ending.
Three hours later, a message came from Toms's side, inviting me to go to the secret base alone to discuss, but leaving Tang Wan alone in the hotel.
After meeting, Thomas got straight to the point: "Mr. Xia, congratulations on finding Miss Tang." Now, we have to hypnosis her and a polygraph program to determine whether her return is a blessing or a curse for us. ”
He was followed by a dozen nervous-looking experts, each holding a tablet in their hands.
"Do it have to be done?" I asked.
Thomas nodded, "Yes." Each of my colleagues prepared a lot of debriefing materials to illustrate the importance of these two trials. Below, they'll go one by one—"
I interrupted Toms: "There's no need to go into details, and there's no need to listen to the debriefing. I agree with your proposal, and I will definitely convince Tang Wan to do the test. As long as it is positive for everyone's cooperation, I am willing to cooperate. ”
The experts behind Thomas all breathed a sigh of relief and put the tablet down.
If I'm stubborn and won't accept Toms's advice, then there will be a big debate between me and these people until one side is convinced.
