In the evening, Lin Xiao returned to the underground base of the coffee shop to visit Chu Yun, who had been transferred to a single ward.

There is an old TV in the ward, and the hostess on the screen is excitedly announcing the news:

"The mysterious powerhouse 'Heavy Sword Man' appeared in Xihai City and killed super S-level monsters with one sword!"

"He saved Xihai City, saved the Golden State, saved thousands of lives, and is a hero of the entire Federation!"

Lin Xiao is listening with taste, and has a sense of accomplishment of "brushing off your clothes and hiding your merit and fame".

The picture is cut off.

Wrapped like a mummy, a man with only a thin face exposed, holding a remote control in one hand, looked wordlessly at the door.

Sigrid, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, noticed Lin Xiao at the door of the ward, snorted softly, her cheeks were slightly red, and she hurriedly got up as if she was a little nervous, and said:

"You, you two talk first, I'll consult a doctor......"

Lin Xiao sat down on the chair at the head of the bed, put the squinting and napping soft Dafu on his lap, picked up the knife and apple, bowed his head and said:

"Doctor? She's a doctor herself. ”

Sigrid is good at hacking techniques and medical and intelligence aids, which are written into the file. Compared with the captain "Raven" who is responsible for coordinating the operation, the little secretary is more like the core of the "secret service team".

Chu Yun propped himself up, looked at Lin Xiao's peeled apples and the skin that had not been broken, and whispered, "She knows that you are a 'heavy sword man'." ”

Click.

Lin Xiao took a bite of the apple, nodded silently, and said:

"I'm mentally prepared for other people to know about it...... Is she the only one who knows? ”

Chu Yun's eyes were complicated, he lay back on the pillow again, looked at the ceiling and said:

"I don't know, I only know Sigrid at the moment, and I learned your identity through surveillance video...... I asked her to cover up your information, but you know very well that if someone looks for it, you can find it anyway. ”

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the real name of the sun god Ra had magical powers. Pharaoh, who learned Ra's real name, was able to control him easily.

This is an exaggeration, but it also expresses the idea that "true names" are one of the sources of the power of the gods.

Lin Xiao, just like the "real name" of the heavy sword man, has made countless people rush to it, and when it is exposed, there is a hidden crisis.

"Epeeman." Chu Yun paused for a moment and whispered, "You have the strength to kill Theseus, and I know that you can't be trapped in 'here' all the time. ”

"Whatever you want to do—" Chu Yun let out a sigh, "You'll have to hurry." ”

Is the Seventh Order strong? Of course it is strong, but at present, the Federation has not officially stated its position on the 'Theseus Incident', and it is not clear what the Federation has towards the "Heavy Swordman", a seventh-order powerhouse.

Lin Xiao guessed that there would only be three attitudes:

Either give a large reward, which is called "treat"; or touts it openly and investigates it secretly, which is called "decapitation"; Either take the "heavy sword man" as a dog.

Which card will be played by the perfect "Warrior of the Kingdom" Roman also determines Lin Xiao's attitude towards him in the future.

Lin Xiao sighed softly in her heart.

Many times, you help "them" save the people and relieve the crisis, and not only will they not be grateful, but they will even beat back and blame their own faults on the hero's head.

Because the "epee" is not under the control of the Federation, it is not governed, like a time bomb.

Even if his actions are like a savior in the eyes of the people, in the eyes of the Federation, they are like a thorn in the flesh.

Heroes in the dark are often not treated in the sun...... It's romantic, it's ridiculous, it's realistic.

Of course, there are also ways to break the game.

Lin Xiao's eyes were cold.

After breaking through the seventh order, climb up again. Also, continue to look for the power of the demon god that does not belong to humans.

There was a sudden silence in the ward, except for the slight snoring of Daifuku as he took a nap.

"Hey." Chu Yun reluctantly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao thought that this big brother had some other warning words.

"Do you still have apples, cut one for me...... Thank you. ”

“…… Here. ”

Lin Xiao's knife skills are good, and she quickly cut the apple into small pieces, put it on the plate, and inserted a toothpick: "Do you want to help you up?" ”

"I'm not so badly injured that I'm half-paralyzed."

The man complained expressionlessly, propped himself up, examined the rabbit-shaped apple, and looked strange: "It's pretty cute......"

"Haha, it's not that powerful." Lin Xiao scratched her head.

Chu Yun was speechless. This kid, Thytius was very low-key, and now he got carried away all of a sudden.

Chewing the apple silently, in order to alleviate the silence, Chu Yun opened his mouth and said, "I have long wanted to ask...... How are you, so strong? ”

The premise of controlling high-end cards is that the card master himself has the source power and heart to control the cards. can kill Theseus, that big sword is certainly good, and Lin Xiao, who wields the sword, is equally important.

"Because I'm born with divine powers." Lin Xiao said casually.

This time, Chu Yun did not refute, a trace of arc rose on his pale face, as if thinking of the time when they met for the first time, and said softly:

"Really...... Anyway, thank you this time......"

"It's okay, the best days are yet to come." Lin Xiao said.

Now that Brother Chu Yun knows my identity, it will be convenient to take him with him when he goes on a mission in the future, and let him do some work to clean up the trash fish.

Although this guy is seriously injured every time...... But the recovery ability is amazingly good, what is this, the assassins are full of Tandu?

"Huh?" Chu Yun had a trace of something bad in his heart.

"I mean, I hope you will give me more help in the future, Captain." Lin Xiao smiled.

This smile was a little terrifying in Chu Yun's eyes, and he coughed and said:

"At eight o'clock tonight, the team leader will organize a team building dinner, and you have to come too."

"Team building? At such a time? Are you going to go with bandages and casts, on crutches, or in a wheelchair? ”

"It's noisy, you better become a heavy sword man, so you can talk less."

"Do you think I'm a Kamen Rider who can transform with a transformer?" Lin Xiao paused.

It seems to be really possible.

That's not the point, the point is to have dinner tonight and save money for a meal.

Obviously, he is almost a seventh-order powerhouse, but the virtue of thrift has always been maintained...... It's me.

"Ou woo ......" Daifuku woke up and looked up.

Obviously, it's because our family is very poor......

Eat more at dinner tonight, store some fat, and eat less when you go home.

Roar, I'm pretty budget-conscious! Daifuku thought.

Federal Building, top floor.

In the spacious office, there is a large floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the golden night view. Standing next to this floor-to-ceiling window is like stepping the whole city under your feet.

By the window stood a silver-haired man in a suit and leather shoes. Roman is dressed in a formal office suit today, like a diligent and loving federal president.

Or rather, he can observe and play any role - before the age of thirty, he was the most handsome and famous male movie star in the Federation.

On the shiny handmade desk, the documents are all related to the "Theseus Incident".

As the Federation was unable to respond to the "Theseus Incident", letters of accusation poured in like snowflakes, and even pointed the finger at Roman himself, asking him why he didn't "smash the space" to rescue.

Of course, Roman can use the method of "smashing space" to teleport, but he can only teleport over short distances, and cannot cross most of the federal support Golden State.

He has sent someone to track down the anonymous letter of accusation...... I believe that it will not be long before the water will come out.

As for the "Theseus affair".

Super S-level monsters are not worth mentioning in Roman's eyes, and he cares more about why the "Heavy Swordman" suddenly appeared in the Federation.

The sudden appearance of a seventh-order card master in the territory of the Confederation was like a porcupine covered in thorns suddenly breaking into the house, and Roman could not ignore it anyway.

If the "Heavy Sword Man" is willing to accept the management of the Federation, then it will be easy to do, and Roman will give him the top treatment of a seventh-order national scholar.

I'm worried that he will continue to do this, "moving freely" like a dark hero.

Freedom refers to the freedom of the owner of the house, not the freedom of the porcupine that breaks into the yard.

The door was open at the back, and there was a knock on the door, and Roman turned his back to the secretary and said, "Please speak." ”

The secretary said respectfully: "I have been able to find out the address of the virtual cabin of the 'Heavy Sword Man', which is located in Xingtu City. Combined with the analysis of the intelligence department, it can basically be determined that the offline identity of the 'heavy sword man' is a member of the investigation team of Xingtu City. ”

Roman's heart moved slightly, and he asked quietly, "Heavy sword man...... Is a member of the Federal Investigation Unit? ”

He let his guard down slightly. This at least shows that the heavy sword man is not a dangerous element, and there is no need to send someone to "decapitate".

"Yes." The secretary said, "The investigation team of Xingtu City is managed by 'Margaret'. When it comes to her operatives, she's tough and won't allow our people to track them down - like a hen guarding her cubs. ”

"Margaret?" Roman smiled, "She's not a hen, she's a black widow who just dismembered and swallowed another investigation team." ”

Tough on outsiders and gentle on his subordinates, which card master doesn't like such an investigation team leader?

But what does she want to do when she raises the banner?

Roman doesn't know, but he has absolute confidence in himself, and even if an entire investigation team appears in front of him, he can dismantle it with a single sword.

"Is the epee under her? Interesting......"

The silver-haired man rubbed his chin and smiled at the corner of his mouth:

"She should have guessed that the epee is in her group, but she hasn't decided on a candidate yet, hehe, that's it, there's no need to track it down."

"Accept it as a dog", it also depends on who the owner of the dog is...... Since it was Margaret's dog, it was not suitable to move anymore.

The secretary asked cautiously, "What do you mean?" ”

"Reward the Xingtu City Investigation Team for their outstanding performance in the 'Theseus Incident', and publicize the 'Heavy Sword Man' as a positive case to appease the sacrificed operators, citizens and their families."

Roman said with a blank face: "The Federation will not give up on any citizen, nor will it denigrate any hero. ”

Three cards, treat, behead, accept as a dog. Roman chose "Treat".

The secretary bowed his head deeply: "Understood." ”

Roman turned around again, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the brightly lit city, his silver eyes flickering slightly.

As a member of the Commonwealth, he is neither perfect nor elegant......

His eyes became cold, and he stood like a perfect classical sculpture.

But it's my choice, with a clear conscience.

Xihai City, coffee shop, base of the investigation team.

Behind the desk, where Kurk used to belong, sat a red-haired Caucasian woman with a fair face.

She clasped her hands together, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, like a kind big sister next door, and asked softly:

"You're going to join the investigation team?"

The thin hooded boy nodded, showing his shyness of his age, and said in a hoarse voice-changing voice:

"I, I want to be like the heavy sword man and become a hero who saves Xihai City."

This must be my father's hope for me. Alger thought.

"Well......" said Margaret, "if I'm not mistaken, your father should be the Seventh-Order Warrior who fought against Theseus, Littel?" ”

Alger bowed his head: "Yes." ”

He is very afraid that others will regard him as a "hero's son", because he is less than one-ten-thousandth of his father, but he has the love of a young man to save face.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from." Margaret smiled and said, "You are still very young, and your future achievements may not be as good as your father's, and you may be able to catch up with the 'Epee Man'." ”

Alger looked up, his eyes shining.

"Let's go and register for the team entrance assessment."

Margaret lowered her head, as if examining the information, and said, "How about going to the 'assault group'?" Your trump card is wide open and close, suitable for the 'assault group'. ”

"No problem!" The boy stood up straight.

The red-haired woman folded her palms against her chin, and her pupils reflected the nervous Alger, as if she was about to penetrate people's hearts, and suddenly said:

"You must be resentful of your father."

Alger froze.

Margaret said to herself: "I could have escaped, but I left my wife and children behind, stopped in front of Theseus, and finally died...... If only he had escaped, you must have thought so? ”

Alger's pupils constricted, his breathing scrambled, and he nodded with difficulty.

Yes... He had fantasized countless times about what it would be like for his father to be alive in this world.

In that case, my mother would still be a beautiful woman with a gentle smile, my father would be a hero praised by everyone, and I would have spent a full childhood in my family......

However, it was because his father chose to face Theseus...... This dream was ruthlessly shattered.

Alger understood his father to some extent. But now, the red-haired woman seemed to have uncovered his scabs, and blood was dripping with blood.

Margaret's eyes were deep, reflecting the trembling young man, and said, "Fifteen years ago... You should, just been born. ”

Alger looked up, puzzled.

"This is the news that your father traveled to the Golden State fifteen years ago."

Margaret put the tablet on the table, pushed it to the boy, and read: ""Guoshi Litaier and his new wife honeymoon in the Golden State, the two are married by Fengzi", heh, boring paparazzi news, but you can see the clues. ”

Alger muttered, "What...... Meaning? ”

"Fifteen years ago, Litair and your mother, as well as the newborn you, were on vacation in Xihai City when they suddenly met Theseus awake."

Margaret said, "He chose to trade his life with the monster of the sea, not because of his duties as a national soldier, nor because of the boring concept of fire...... It's because of you. ”

Alger was struck by lightning.

"He knows that if even he escapes, you and your mother will most likely die. That's why he mustered up the courage to stand in front of Theseus. ”

Margaret whispered, "When he rushed to Theseus, he was not a warrior, but a father. ”

"He loves you so much."

Misunderstandings, complaints, and hatred dissolve like spring snow.

It was as if Alger had seen it again, holding the light and shadow that appeared when he held Overlord Crush. His father held his hand and stood in front of him with a smile, his eyes were gentle and sad, as if he had not had time to see him grow up, and he was relieved and touched by being a first-time father.

Fathers may also have their own philosophies...... But when he became a father, he was surrounded by his wife and children, and in front of him was an invincible and formidable enemy.

His only idea became me.

The young man burst into tears, feeling a gentle hand caressing the top of his head, like a mother's hand, he raised his gaze: "Team leader? ”

Margaret smiled: "Okay, let's go to the assessment, remember to wipe away the tears first." ”

Alger's cheeks flushed, he nodded vigorously, and rushed out the door in embarrassment.

Brahma Grandpa's predecessors...... Investigative team, that's great!

The red-haired woman stared at the young man's back, her gaze calm, as if thinking about something.

The intelligence services of the Federation came to her door two hours ago to investigate the whereabouts of the "Heavy Epee".

Margaret felt a little bored.

But tonight's dinner should be a bit fruitful...... A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

For example, in a scene like a killing game, guess which of the operators present will be "Heavy Sword Without Edge".
