The old monk stood up, bent down again to pick up a bottle of wine, and turned to leave.

Mrs. Hong suddenly jumped up, raised her gun in both hands, and aimed it at the old monk.

I was taken aback by this change.

"Since you're here, why rush to leave? Once you join the dragon group, you can't quit for generations. I already knew that after the traitors of the Dragon Group lived in seclusion in Thousand Buddha Mountain, they just had no time to recourse. Now, when you come, you must atone for your sins and conquer the East China Sea with me. Che Yuan, if I don't get lost and find out, I will be able to enforce the family law as the head of the Dragon Group!" Mrs. Hong shouted.

The old monk was not frightened, and stared at Mrs. Hong coldly.

His eyes were very complicated, and at a glance, he knew that he and Mrs. Hong were old acquaintances.

"You can't pretend to be crazy and stupid for a lifetime, as the number one strategist of the Dragon Group, you don't want to serve the country, but you make yourself like a beggar, a monk is not like a monk, and the vulgar is not like a layman. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Che Yuan, the first beautiful man in the former Beijing Special Service Battalion, would have become like this. In vain, I was fascinated by you......" Mrs. Hong was angry and angry, and tears flowed down her eyes.

I was caught between the two of them, and I didn't know whether to avoid it, and I felt very embarrassed.

"I'm Che Yuan, but Che Yuan is dead, and there is only one anonymous person here today. I haven't taken refuge in Buddhism, so why should I be like a monk? I've already left the world, so why should I be like a layman? You don't know, I'm just me. In the past, I was no longer in the special service camp, but today I am the one who is truly enlightened. The old monk replied.

"However, you still appeared, if it weren't for the fact that you couldn't forget the marriage of Hongchen, couldn't forget me, and couldn't forget the heart that defended me, how could you appear?" asked Mrs. Hong.

I quietly retreated, left the tarpaulin, and walked behind a large pine tree.

A beauty like Mrs. Hong, who has risen from an ordinary soldier to a high position, must be a person with a story. Therefore, there must be a lot of emotional entanglement between her and the old monk, and it is not enough for outsiders.

Across the tree, I heard Mrs. Hong ask again: "Che Yuan, what happened in the process of leading the special service battalion to encircle and suppress the lord of the merman? Why did you survive after the whole army was wiped out? Since you survived, why didn't you return to the special service camp to report, but exiled yourself and wandered into the rivers and lakes? Now go back with me, it's not too late to explain the problem clearly, and I am willing to use all my merits to take the blame for you." This time, I'm going to do my best to follow in your footsteps, and if you don't help me at this time, where do you want to escape?"

The old monk suddenly let out a long roar and fled towards the top of the mountain.

Mrs. Hong screamed miserably: "Che Yuan, where to escape, stop me!"

When I flashed out of the tree, the tarpaulin was empty, and I could only see the brown shadow in front of me fleeing in the pine forest on the hillside in the distance, and the water-red shadow chasing behind.

The pine forest was dense, and after ten minutes, both shadows disappeared.

All the people followed, looked up the hill for a while, and then muttered and dispersed, and each went down the old road.

I couldn't help but feel anxious, thinking about Mrs. Hong's safety and thinking about the old monk's mysterious past.

"Mr. Xia, what do you think? Shall we wait or withdraw?" Madame Hong's men asked me for instructions.

I told them to go first, and if something happened, I would call them.

Everyone dispersed, and even the setting sun quickly set in the west and fell into the col.

I sat alone on the tarpaulin, unable to decide where to go next.

From Mrs. Hong's words, I made the following judgment: "Che Yuan failed to encircle and suppress the master of the merman, and he must have undergone some kind of abnormality, and he cannot return to the past, so he exiled himself. However, others are in the rivers and lakes, but their hearts are still in Mrs. Hong, so they appear to remind Mrs. Hong. Mrs. Hong still had the same original intention for him, but he couldn't bear such a deep affection, so he chose to flee. Mrs. Hong has become an insider, led by all kinds of thoughts, unable to find an exit, and finally becomes an ant in the maze. If Karrie comes, I will take the initiative to ask for a meeting with senior officials from both sides, explain the crisis from the fair position of a third party, and urge the two sides to speed up cooperation. ”

It wasn't until the moon was in the east that Jiali was late.

It can be seen that her spirit is very high, and it must be because she has obtained good information.

"Someone has already reported the situation to me, so there is no need to repeat it. Now, we save time, you listen to me, don't interject until I'm done. Carrie said.

I opened a bottle of mineral water for her and nodded silently in agreement.

The good news of Karry had all come from Du Zhou's confessions, some of which I already knew, and some of which were so appalling that they were almost unbelievable.

The following is Jiali's original words -

Du Zhou confessed that the lord of the merman had as many as thirty sea palaces, some in submarines, some on cruise ships, some on sea ships, and some on desert islands. Its power is far beyond human imagination, and the combined area of all the palaces is close to half of the Asian continent. Du Boat has become the eye of the merman, responsible for collecting military intelligence, and regularly delivering it to the merman's master. It is said that there are thousands of eyeliners like Du Zhou. The lord of the merman is good at manipulating human nature, or using money, or medical skills, or using moral kidnapping, in short, as long as it is beneficial to the merman, it is carried out in secret. Du Boat has more than a dozen large warehouses in Jinan, which store the treasures rewarded by the Lord of the Shark People, and the quantity and value are quite amazing. I had a good conversation with Du Zhou, and he had already told me the main line and the four alternate passages to communicate with the Lord of the Sharks. In other words, as long as I want, I can contact the merman master directly at any time. According to my plan, as long as the near-earth communication satellite scans the radio wave position of the merman master, it will immediately dock with the Pacific Fleet's * troops, launch the deep sea* within half a minute, and bombard the merman master to smithereens. This is the most economical, direct, and fastest way to kill the enemy so far, and it doesn't even need the 2,000 thaumaturgists we have prepared. I used a toothpaste-squeezing interrogation method for Du Zhou, to ensure that every bit of useful information in his mind was squeezed out, and nothing was missed in every detail. Now, Du Boats have only one breath left, and they are on 100 percent cooperative standby, and if you agree, I'll be in touch with the Merman Master right away - using an electronically synthesized sound that perfectly matches Du Boat, of course. ”

This kind of news is really exciting, and the joint attack of Area 51 and the Pacific Fleet is almost the most violent attack method on the planet at present, second only to nuclear weapons.

"That's good news! It seems that Du Boat can only bring out his greatest value when it comes to you. I gave a thumbs up.

"Laughing at me?" Carrie blushed slightly.

I replied, "No, Miss Carrie, you have done the right thing, and you have to deal with people like Du Zhou. At this point, you do it better than anyone else. This is very good news, and if Mrs. Hong is here, she will be happy for you. ”

Carrie smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, you don't think I'm violent, it's already very happy for me." As for Mrs. Hong, whether she praises or disparages me has no real value. ”

In this case, many people's first reaction is that in modern communication, as long as the target deliberately hides himself, he can steal other communication channels, and only after several signal jumps can the phone be connected. If this is the case, the target of the attack must be the opposite direction. However, Karrie is an important member of the 51 region, and it is easy to distinguish the authenticity of the address, and it can even be said that the 51 region is the inventor of this mailing address jump. Therefore, the authenticity of the communication signal is not a concern.

The only thing I fear is that the Lord of the Sharks will hide himself in an extremely difficult place to attack, and even if * is in place, the Pacific Fleet will not dare to launch easily.

Carrie had the same fears, so even with this almost foolproof good news, he did not dare to get carried away, but suppressed his excitement.

The night is quiet and the mountains are empty, and it seems that there are only two of us left between heaven and earth.

"If we succeed in the first battle, we will have no worries. Karrie sighed.

Killing the Lord of the Mermen was her life's pursuit, and when this wish was about to come true, she became too reluctant to sit back and relax, and she did not dare to fully believe that victory would come so easily.

"There's always little problems, little details that go wrong, and they leave you in trouble, right?" she said to herself, "Anything can happen in the face of such a huge plan, and I have to think through it and analyze everything down to the capillaries to make sure nothing goes wrong." At the worst of all, I will die with the enemy, and I will never be in trouble. ”

I feel sorry for her, life is still young, and it would be a great waste to choose to die at such an age. However, if it is not for the determination to die, who can be willing to make such a huge sacrifice?

No matter what country it is, the officials and men within the system will certainly not rush into battle, but like to sit and talk about it, pointing fingers at the officers and soldiers on the front line, dragging their feet if they can hold them back, and greedy for merit if they can do it, in short, they must not appear to be inferior in skills.

Fortunately, with the existence of real fighters like Jiali, human society has been able to develop healthily instead of stagnating.

"Your plan is right, your direction is right, and if there is a problem, you can study and solve it. At the moment, we have to wait for Mrs. Hong to come back and discuss it together. I said.

The top of the mountain had fallen into darkness, and there was not a single light in sight.

Mrs. Hong has not heard from her for a long time, and she doesn't know if she finally caught up with the old monk. I think I have to give her time to solve her psychological problems before she can turn around and fight the enemy together.

The food on the oilcloth was originally a cold cut, and after a day, it was completely cold and difficult to swallow.

"Mr. Xia, Du Zhou also mentioned that in the news he collected, there was a big man in the capital surnamed Yan who secretly colluded with the lord of the merman, and even provided a lot of resource support. There are not many big people with the surname Yan in China, and there are only one or two people who can entrench themselves in the capital for a long time, so it is easy to identify. I immediately checked the information and found out that this person should be a Yan madman, that is, the abdicated head of the Yan Palace. I think that when Mrs. Hong comes, I will start from there and inquire about the situation first. Look, is that correct?" asked Carrie.

Now, she became cautious with every word she spoke, and she seemed to have lost her previous sharpness. I am very pleased that her strong suppression of inner agitation can ensure that she does not rush forward, does not impulsively, and does not make mistakes, so that the huge plan can be implemented step by step.

Yan Gexing and Yan Tuya are both young masters of Yan Wangfu, the former is forbearing, and the latter is wild, so the former is born and the latter dies.

I have heard the name of Yan Maniac, that is the big man in the thaumaturgical world of the previous generation, more powerful than the King of Qin of the Qin King Society, his disciples and minions are distributed all over the world, and they all have their own forces, rooted in the local area, and difficult to shake.

It is reasonable and convincing that such a person is connected to the lord of the merman.

"Good. I nodded.

Suddenly there was a whimpering cry on the high slope south of Pine Flat, and I immediately concluded that it was from Mrs. Hung.

In any case, she has returned, and my hanging heart has finally been put down.

Carrie and I were silent until Mrs. Hong stumbled over to herself, tired of leaning against a pine tree.

One night ago, the three of us reached a cooperation agreement with confidence, but after the night, the situation changed dramatically, with both good news and bad news, mixed blessings and chaos.

Mrs. Hong was silent for a long time, and when she spoke again, her voice was already hoarse: "Che Yuan is an old minister of the Dragon Group, and he led the operation of encircling and suppressing the lord of the merman on the Qiongzhou Peninsula three years ago. The operation was a great failure, and all the 150 people accompanying him died, and only he was missing. I loved him to the bone, but I hate him to the bone. He didn't explain anything, chose to escape far away, cut off relations with his former friends, and exiled himself to the rivers and lakes. I know that he must have a reason and a hard time, but I can't forgive a man for taking such a path. After today's meeting, I will forget about him, he is dead in his heart. From this moment on, I, Hong Menglou, have only one person, one heart, and one life left, and I swear to kill the lord of the merman and never die. ”

The old monk Che Yuan broke her heart, men are not easy to be completely destroyed, Che Yuan is weird, he must have suffered inhuman torture and stimulation.

If it were me, it probably wouldn't have been much better.

Carrie and I did not respond in any way to Mrs. Hong's words, but started a different topic.

Jiali said: "Du Zhou confessed, I can now use Du Zhou's name to contact the Lord of the Shark People. At the same time, the near-earth communication satellite was used to search for its signal source, and the Pacific Fleet was informed to raid the hiding place of the Lord of the Merman with the deep-sea* raid. You two, how about this plan?"

My opinion has already been indicated, and now it is only a matter of waiting for Mrs. Hong's opinion.

"Did Du Zhou say where the Lord of the Shark might be hiding?" Lady Hong immediately got to the heart of the problem.

"No, Du Zhou is just a lackey, desperately working for the lord of the merman, and doesn't care about this. Carrie replied.

"What would you do if the Lord of the Sharks was hiding in a place where it was impossible to attack?" asked Lady Hong again.

Carrie shook his head slightly: "There are no forbidden areas in the Pacific, even if he is hiding under the garrison base, or under any oceanographic research institute, or even under any important building in the continental United States, I can apply for an attack order to eliminate him with a suicide attack." I also thought that even if he was hiding in the White House, I would not hesitate to report to the Pentagon, bomb first, then rebuild. ”

Now that she has such determination, it looks like the plan can be implemented.

Mrs. Hung did not ask any further questions, as the plan seemed to be a complete one, and there was no need for additional information.

We stayed at Pine Flat until the middle of the moon, and then slowly walked back to the Palace Hotel.

Before, we said that we came to ask the Buddha for inquiry, but we were disrupted by the appearance of Du Boat and Che Yuan, and it became such an ending.

I wish Jiali success, at the moment, it doesn't matter whether you make meritorious service or not, everyone has only one common goal, and that is to kill the Lord of the Sharks and destroy the largest * in the world.

Mrs. Hong went back to the room first, and Jiali's mood was not high, but a little low.

"Mr. Xia, I can't believe the reality. If it's convenient, please come with me to a place and ask Du Zhou for another confirmation?" she asked me.

Her eyes were helpless, like a lost kitten.

"No problem, I'll be there whenever you need it. I replied.

This burden cannot be weighed on her shoulders alone, that will crush her and eventually collapse. Therefore, I am willing to contribute my shoulders at any time and share it vigorously for her.

We didn't go far, just next door to Carrie's room.

The room was very clean, even the carpet at the door, in the living room was replaced, and even the wallpaper, curtains, and chandeliers on the walls were changed.

I can imagine that those things must have been stained with the blood of the Du Boat before they were cleaned up as quickly as possible.

Du Zhou sat calmly on the sofa, at least on the surface, he didn't have any pain, just a little tired.

Across from him was a television set, on which a hilarious and witty costume drama was playing.

Carrie and I sat down on the couch on the side, didn't disturb him watching TV, just watched him quietly.

When the characters in the TV series laughed, Du Zhou also laughed, slowly turning his head and looking at us.

Jiali smiled and said, "Mr. Du, I relayed your words to Mr. Xia just now, and he was very interested, so he made a special trip to ask you to verify its authenticity." In fact, we have a very wide area of cooperation, and as long as I report your merits, the U.S. Military Logistics Department is willing to cooperate with you in many areas. In that case, Mr. Du's business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, until he establishes his own business empire. ”

Du Zhou seemed to have forgotten a lot of things, and nodded frequently.

"Through those methods, you can contact the Lord of the Sharks? By reversing the radio signals, you can confirm its location? Mr. Du, what evidence do you have to prove that the one who contacted you is the Lord of the Sharks and not the replacement?" I asked.

Along the way, I've thought about it.

After Jiali's plan is implemented, even if he does not kill the Lord of the Sharks, he must be his spokesperson. In that case, it would be tantamount to cutting off his right-hand arm, which would be considered a big victory. Most importantly, this method is simple and feasible, and it is what the U.S. military does best.

As long as there are no problems with the contact information, the plan is half the battle.

"I don't have to lie, I'm just a businessman, and whoever I work with, it's all cooperation. As long as the conditions are right, even if I am asked to do business with God and Hades, I have no opinion. Miss Carrie gave me enough favorable conditions and I was willing to cooperate, it was as simple as that. Du replied.

I frowned slightly, there was no need to look at Du Zhou at this moment, his body and spirit had been destroyed by Jiali's men, and if he asked again, it was just a mechanical answer, no different from an electronic answering machine.

"Who is the lord of the merman, is he a man, a merman, or a fish?" asked Carry.

"Is it important? It doesn't matter what a thing is going to die. Du replied.

"Okay, I won't bother you watching the TV series. I got up first and walked out the door.

"Implement your plan first, and then talk about the rest depending on the situation. "As soon as I entered Carrie's room, I told her with certainty.

Carrie was encouraged by me, and the courage in his eyes doubled: "Okay, I'll start contacting the Pacific Fleet right away." ”

We didn't talk any more, we had to send it, we just had to do it as planned. Doing big things is informal, and how to deal with Du Boat is a trivial matter.

Jiali felt and said: "Mr. Xia, only you can give me courage at this moment. I wish we could sleep by candlelight, so that I could continue to get a steady stream of courage from you. I didn't mean to tempt you, but at the moment, I ...... You are really needed. ”

I gave her a heavy hug, said no more, and turned away.

Everyone has their own troubles, and this is true for me, Mrs. Hong, and Carrie. Demons are born from the heart, and only by destroying the demons in the heart can they survive in a desperate situation.

I went back to my room, didn't turn on the light, lay on the bed in kimono, and forced myself to close my eyes and rest. The human spirit is like a rubber band, if it is too nervous, it will be stretched infinitely and eventually broken. Only by controlling the mind and reaching the point of retracting and releasing freely can we maintain the spare strength at ease and overcome any difficulties.

For a few hours, I did fall asleep, and I slept deeply, until I suddenly felt danger approaching.

I didn't open my eyes, and the sense of crisis came over me, so that I didn't dare to act rashly.

"Don't move, listen to me. That should be the voice of the old monk Che Yuan, "There are some things that I only tell you are related to the Lord of the Sharks." Listen well, go to sleep when you're done, don't follow me, and don't try to dissuade me. ”

I didn't say anything, and left it to him.

"The level of cunning of the Lord of the Mermen is unimaginable to humans, and too often, even if you know what he is hiding, you don't dare to do it. He looks for different hiding places for different attackers. For example, in the battle of the Qiongzhou Peninsula, he hid under our attack boats. Until now, I don't know how he found us and killed all my friends. Instead of escaping, I was swallowed by a whale and survived. I am not a coward, and when I saw that my companions were dead, I immediately tracked down the lord of the mermen and tried to take revenge. My strength alone was too weak, and the most correct choice at that time was to return to the dragon group and ask for help from my superiors. As a result, I was captured, and I was tortured in various ways, and finally assimilated into a merman. It was a long process, and it was a year before I realized that my body was starting to change. I gave up my resistance and pretended to work for it, but eventually found an opportunity to escape and wander to Busan. Thanks to New Century's cosmetology, I have transformed myself back into my original self. However, what can be changed by human power is only on the surface, but I am a merman at heart. I didn't give up and stayed in major museums in Korea for a long time, looking for ancient books related to the lord of the sharks. The ancient materials of Korea are very complete, and most of them are in Chinese characters, which is very easy to understand. So, I saw various records of the fierce battles between humans and mermaids from ancient mythology. Man cannot defeat the merman, because man's backer is the earth and air, while the merman relies on the power of the waves of the sea. Three-quarters of the planet is covered with seawater, leaving only a quarter of the land for people. At the same time, sea levels are slowly rising every year, and the future trend must be that the oceans will inundate the land, putting humanity into a period of mass extinction. This is determined by biological characteristics and does not change from person to person or country to country. It is clearly recorded in ancient books that when human society develops to a certain extent, the air quality will be so polluted that it is impossible to breathe, most people will die due to lack of oxygen, and a small number of people can only retreat to the mountains and rivers to survive. Marine life, on the other hand, always relies on the sea and has no worries about survival. I returned to the mainland, unable to gain a foothold, so I could only wander around. This time, after I found out the news that the dragon group was stationed in Jinan, I immediately rushed here, hoping to inform Hong Menglou and make her give up her fantasy of killing the lord of the merman. That's the only thing I can do for her, and I'm telling you now. I can't see her again, I'm no longer Che Yuan, just a little mayfly between heaven and earth, dying in the twilight of life, fending for itself......"

Che Yuan's voice gradually faded away, and the crisis slowly disappeared.
