Chapter II: Organization
(a)
The August sun does not seem too scorching today, but it makes the city more lonely and deserted. Han Lingtian walked on the road, and as soon as he looked up, he could see rays of brilliant sunlight constantly flickering between the gaps in the leaves.
It's more of a stroll than a walk
He was the only survivor of the carjacking a month earlier. This kind of thing would never have turned into such a tragedy, but the truth is always beyond people's expectations.
When Han Lingtian snatched the man's pistol, the robber who was controlling the driver in front was obviously frightened, and then slammed the driver's steering wheel. However, they did not notice that there was a cliff on one side of the road.
Han Lingtian crashed into the glass window because he didn't stand still when the bus was turning sharply, and the pistol in his left hand shattered the glass under the strong impact, so he was thrown out when the bus rushed to the cliff.
The simple iron railings, of course, could not withstand the enormous impact of a bus weighing more than a dozen tons, which rushed off the cliff, fell, then tumbled over the ridge, deformed, and then carried people headlong into the canyon, until a dull crash was heard.
Planted under a seventy-meter cliff, there is no doubt that no one can live. So he became the sole survivor.
Han Lingtian was lucky because he survived, but he was unfortunate because he had no money. Money is not everything, but no money is everything, and now he is in this predicament.
His luggage had long since disappeared with the bus, and it was his seizure of the robber's pistol that had led to the tragedy, and he suddenly regretted his impulsiveness. But everything was useless, and perhaps to escape from reality, he silently left the place of the incident and went to the nearest city. With money in his pocket, he began to look for work in the city. If it comes, it will be safe, he thought.
The temperature under the shade of the trees was not as high as expected, and Han Lingtian's pace slowed down because of this. "It's better to stay a little longer when you go back with the air conditioner on. Han Lingtian muttered.
Walking slowly down the street, the surrounding shops passed by one by one. There weren't many pedestrians, but few walked like him. Several buildings stood silently, their windows showing the same number of people working with their heads down.
The whole city does not seem to be in a hurry, it is running in an orderly manner. Han Lingtian felt for a moment how incompatible his stroll was with this city, as if he couldn't fit into this city.
He's been in the job market for two weeks, but since the carjacking, his luck doesn't seem to be so good, and he hasn't been able to find a suitable job until now. He knew that tomorrow he would have to do odd jobs, and although the money was small, he would at least be able to support himself.
Suddenly, Han Lingtian was patted on the shoulder, and he turned his head, it was a middle-aged man. Black-framed glasses, a straight suit, and a pair of shiny leather shoes, but they give people an elegant feeling.
"Hello, you are Han Lingtian. ”
"Well, you're?"
"Oh, my surname is Mo. I have something I need to check with you, I wonder if you're available right now?"
"What's the matter? ”
"Uh...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient to say it here, but if you don't mind, we might as well go to the coffee shop and say it. Mr. Mo pointed to a coffee shop across the street.
"Okay. Han Lingtian nodded, it was okay anyway, it didn't matter if he went.
(b)
The coffee shop is not big, and the wooden floors and tables and chairs look antique, giving it a warm feeling.
"I've seen you go to the job market several times, and you must still be looking for a job. Mr. Mo randomly found a table and sat down and ordered two cups of coffee.
Han Lingtian nodded.
"It's not easy to find a job now, it's not new for college students to find a job, and the talent market is crowded every day......
Han Lingtian listened quietly and picked up the coffee that had just been delivered in front of him. The rich aroma of coffee was accompanied by a rising white mist that burrowed into his nose. Take a sip and a faint bitter taste fills your mouth.
"Mr. Mo, you get straight to the point. ”
Mr. Mo paused and glanced at Han Lingtian deeply.
"In the case of the bus falling off the cliff a few days ago, Mr. Han should have been there, right?"
Han Lingtian's heart sank, and sure enough, he guessed that someone would investigate this matter.
"I'm here. ”
"Mr. Han don't be nervous, it was the carjacking of the robber that day, your behavior is understandable, even if the current consequences are caused, you don't need to blame yourself, and you don't need to worry about legal responsibility. ”
"Why?" Han Lingtian sighed, this was what he was most worried about.
"Because...... The police didn't know any of this, they only knew that the robbers hijacked the bus, but they fell off the cliff due to improper operation, and as a result, they ...... "Mo first paused, "No one survived!"
"The police don't know about these ...... What do you mean, aren't you?" Han Lingtian was stunned for a moment.
"I? Of course I'm not. Have you ever seen a police officer invite a suspect to coffee when they're chasing him?" said Mr. Mo with a smile.
"Then how do you know this, and what is your identity?" Han Lingtian frowned.
"We'll talk about that later. Mr. Mo waved his hand, "You should now see that I have no hostility towards you, and even helped you hide the truth from the police, so I hope you can answer my following questions truthfully, which is good for you and me, and we may be able to reach a cooperation." ”
"Well, you say. "The matter has come to this point, and Han Lingtian has no choice but to take one step at a time.
"According to my investigation, you don't usually have excellent fighting talents, and you don't have special practice, but your method of subduing robbers on the bus is quite fast and sharp, according to my years of experience, this can only be achieved through special training, so can you explain it to me?"
"This ...... Actually, I didn't know it, I was very angry at the time...... Yes, it's anger, and then the whole person rushes up on its own, and I don't know what's going on......"
Han Lingtian didn't know how to explain it at all, but unexpectedly, Mr. Mo didn't have any doubts or disbelief about it, just nodded, and then asked, "How did the method of removing the opponent's pistol come about?"
"It's like this in movies. Han Lingtian was a little embarrassed.
"No wonder, the movie is all nonsense, and the correct way to unload the gun should be from top to bottom, not all at once. Mr. Mo said.
"Oh, got it. Han Lingtian scratched his head.
"Okay, I've already asked all the questions, and I'm glad for your cooperation. ”
"Then who are you?" asked Han Lingtian
"I'm a researcher at an organization that studies the abilities of people who are out of the ordinary. ”
