Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Sense of Belonging

At eight o'clock the next day, Duckweed Park in the East End.

"You are late Miss Locke, the shelf life of the corpse is getting worse day by day, we must return to the fourth time and space as soon as possible to bury Comrade Chen Shicun." Wu Xiao looked at the middle-aged woman who walked slowly with a serious face.

A white van was parked on the bank of the lawn, Wu Xiao and Xuanlu were standing on the side of the road, and a young man with a lonely back was sitting on the slope lawn in a daze. The middle-aged woman who walked slowly towards them had an iceberg face, and she looked at least more experienced than Wu Xiao and Xuanlu.

She wore a black women's suit, her hair tied in a thick ponytail and a pair of black bell bottoms, jet-black glossy high heels, a thin layer of foundation that covered the freckles on either side of her cheeks, and a rosy lipstick on her lips. He was followed by two young men, one man and one woman, who looked like public officials, each with a professional ID card around their necks.

Miss Locke's opening remarks were cold, "Mr. Woo, you're also from the fourth plane, so you must be aware of the unstable effect of the vulnerability, right?" Besides, when did you tell me to come early? ”

She continued, "Yesterday called me to come over, what...... Is it just to carry a corpse back? Can't your investigation team move even a single corpse? What is the use of tissue culture? ”

Wu Xiao calmly told the other party, "Miss Locke, I hope you will treat us with a little respect. We invited you here to cooperate with us in bringing Comrade Chen Shicun's body back to the Fourth Plane, not for you to come over and teach us a lecture. ”

Xuanlu couldn't stand the middle-aged woman's high-minded appearance, I heard that Miss Locke was notoriously weird in the organization, and her temper was very weird and her personality was also strange. Because she had to invite her over, she knew that her temper was still as annoying as ever, so the two of them simply carried the body back.

"I didn't teach you anything, don't think too much about it. Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, it's a waste of time to talk too much, just a corpse? Miss Locke crossed her hands on her hips, her eyes looking down at Wuxiao and Xuanlu all the time.

"How many corpses do you want?" Wu Xiao looked at him with a ruthless face.

"Just kidding, I'll just talk about it, you young people are really difficult to communicate." Miss Locke put her hands in her pockets, and she suddenly thought of something, "Chen Shicun...... It's a familiar name, and I think I've heard it somewhere. ”

"It's the investigator in the coordinate investigation team's 'peacock eyes'." The male public official behind her prompted her, and she remembered.

Miss Locke nodded slightly, but her calm face had a hint of mockery, "Oh...... It turned out to be the 'Peacock Eye' coordinate investigation team, and I thought it was a small person from a certain department. ”

Wu Xiao suppressed his anger and exploded, and Xuanlu beside him was worried that Wu Xiao would not be able to restrain his emotions, and the final result would be against Miss Locke. If the outcome is more serious, he will be dismissed as an investigator without exception.

"He's not a small man...... He's a hero. Miss Locke, I hope that every word you say next must honor the deceased, who died for the child of prophecy. If you dare to be so presumptuous again, then don't blame me for being unkind to you. ”

Wu's words were as calm as water and reached Miss Locke's ears, his eyes were resolute, and his tone was even more determined, Xuanlu believed that the man's super sense of justice could stop any injustice.

Miss Locke smiled, "Are young people so strong-blooded now?" If you have that attitude, what kind of investigator are you going to be? If you join the army directly, you can definitely get a lot of titles. ”

Miss Locke told Uglio, "Did I say the wrong thing?" Could it be that he is a great hero like no other in the world? Does he have a glorious honor? Didn't he die for the son of prophecy, he was just an ordinary investigator, and there were more people than he worked hard. Did the Janissaries who were in the border territories of the border regions have any complaints? You're here to organize surveys around the world, but what about the Praetorian Guards? All of them, including their own minds, must be dedicated to all the corners of time and space all year round. ”

Miss Locke continued, with little chance of retorting to Wu Xiao and Xuanlu, "What if those Praetorian Guards have an accident? Who will take care of them? Who will give them a death pension? Please tell me...... Who can guarantee their safe return? Is it the director of the bureau that you believe in in your hearts? Or does this responsibility have to fall on the Space-Time Weapons Bureau? Are they willing to manage? Will the Bureau of Divine Powers accept this job? The acting director himself is not able to protect himself, let alone a death pension. ”

"I also know that guy used to serve as a Praetorian Guard in the Space-Time Weapons Bureau, although the title is not very big, but I also admire it." Miss Locke is meticulous in her logic, and every sentence is the beginning of the way.

She said, "Then let me ask you, can those Janissaries in battle armor live a good life?" Didn't that guy later be transferred to the Coordinate Investigation Section of the CIA, and quietly went around the world to investigate the coordinates, without having to work so hard, and didn't have to fight with the people of the 16th Bureau of the Central Committee, how good the treatment was. ”

Every word that Miss Locke said made Wu Xiao and Xuanlu not have the slightest intention to refute. As Miss Locke said, "Those Praetorian Guards who have been in the frontier territory of the border area all the year round, every one who risked his life to fight against the people of the 16th Bureau of the Central Committee, where there is war, there must be gunsmoke." Her meaning is very clear, that is, to point out that the status of the Praetorian Guard is higher than that of the investigators, they are great, defending the country and protecting time and space. However, her tone was so arrogant that it sounded annoying.

Investigators...... Just the investigators want to climb the peak? Let's get out of this life. Miss Locke glanced at Wu Xiao and Xuanlu, obviously her own family members had to be treated differently, she was indeed a little blind.

"You ......" Xuanlu was so angry that he wanted to go over and slap the woman.

Miss Locke told Xuanlu, "I believe in the CIA, but that doesn't mean that my faith is the clock. Do you understand, little girl? When I first joined the CIA, you probably were playing in the mud in the park. ”

"You, you...... Don't go too far. Xuanlu was just about to rush over, but Wu Xiao next to her stopped her, and suddenly a voice sounded from behind the white van.

Shen Qing stood up from the slope lawn and slowly walked towards Miss Locke, who frowned and wondered when she saw Shen Qing.

Although he does not have the so-called glorious honor, he does not have the precipitation of the glorious years, his ability is not as good as others, and sometimes he is clumsy. But...... That guy has a good heart and is willing to serve the people all his life, even if he dies in front of the son of prophecy. If he had told me in advance that idea, I wouldn't have agreed because I didn't want him to do it. Although the guy had a clumsy brain, he was quick to act, and I couldn't save his last step, and I could only watch him fall in front of me. What I want to say is...... Every Praetorian Guard guarding the frontier has the value of his life, and even the Praetorian Guards of the same profession, as well as the investigators, have the value of his existence. ”

"I respect the Praetorian Guard, they fight desperately on the battlefield of the Plane Front, and they deserve everyone's respect. I also hope that you will respect our investigators, even if we don't stand in armor to defend the last line of defense on the dead winter night, but I still hope that you will respect us and stop insulting our investigators. All of us believe in the CIA, and the goal of all of us is to accomplish the great cause of the revolution and overthrow the 16th Bureau of the Central Committee. ”

Shen Qing smiled weakly, he didn't want his companion to even have the last dignity after death, that was too sad, then why did he live to be an investigator? But no matter what the reason, there are always people who have to stand up for the dignity of the investigators. This is not a feudal society such as 369, all of us have grown up under the protection of the director, and the unanimous revolution is the goal of everyone.

"Are you ......," Miss Locke asked Shen Qing.

Shen Qingxin told Miss Locke, "The 'Peacock Eye' coordinate investigation team ...... Shen Qing, Chen Shicun's companion. ”

Shen Qing continued, "I've heard of Miss Sherlock from the 'Qi Ling Division' medical team within the organization, and it is rumored within the organization that Miss Rock is a skilled doctor and can resurrect the dead. ”

Suddenly, Shen Qing knelt in front of Miss Locke, Wu Xiao and Xuanlu were frightened by Shen Qing's move, and even Miss Locke was taken aback. She didn't understand what the guy in front of her was kneeling on the ground, he bowed his head and knelt neatly, without the slightest hesitation, it seemed that he had great difficulty and wanted to ask Miss Locke for help.

"Shen Qing ......" Wu said in a slightly helpless tone, he didn't know what to say. Xuanlu stood aside, grabbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, she felt sad for Shen Qing.

"You...... What are you doing here? Miss Locke wondered.

Shen Qing bowed his head and bowed, his head slammed on the ground, his tone was extremely firm, "I have never knelt down to anyone in my life, not even my parents." I kneel down this time, and I hope that Miss Locke will be able to rejuvenate and give ten inches a chance to be reborn. I am not willing to let my companion die in vain, I beg you, Miss Locke...... I hope you save ten inches, please Miss Locke! ”

"Please, Miss Locke...... Please. Shen Qing continued to kneel on the ground, kowtowing back and forth more than ten times, which had already left a red mark on his head.

Miss Locke stood in place and was silent, as if she would not be easily moved by Shen Qing's actions. Wu Xiao and Xuanlu had nothing to say, this was not a topic they could dominate, and finally Miss Locke spoke lightly.

"All of us exist between the six realms of reincarnation, life is just a round, and no one can escape from the six realms. Rumors within the organization say that my healing skills can bring the dead back to life, but it is only a temporary summoning of people's souls from hell, which is what you call 'conjuring'. After death, a person has seven days to remain on earth, after which the soul must return to where it belongs, and complete its rebirth. ”

Miss Locke squatted down, she patted Shen Qing on the shoulder and said, "People will die eventually, but some people ...... early Some people are late. ”

Shen Qing stood up slowly, his pale, taciturn face said it all. He knew that his request was ridiculous, but even if it was ridiculous and carried a small hope, he had to hold on to it. Hope, like mayflies, will grasp the short life they will grasp, even if they die after dusk. Hope is like a moth to a fire, knowing that the flames will consume it, but it still rushes through it without hesitation, because it loves the light.

"Take me to see the body." Miss Locke made a request, and Shen Qing looked at her in a daze.

Miss Locke pretended to be cold, "Don't think too much, I just look at the wounds of the corpse, and I may not be able to revive him." ”

"Oooh...... Good good. Shen Qing nodded, a little unresponsive.

"This way, please...... Hee-hee-hee. Xuanlu smiled, she felt that if Miss Locke could put aside her arrogant appearance, maybe she would be able to gain a large number of little fans.

Miss Locke followed Xuanlu's steps to the trunk of the van, the body was lying on the iron shelf covered with pure white cotton cloth, Miss Locke sat down on the bench in the trunk, she lifted the white cotton cloth without saying a word, the body lying on the iron shelf was still pale, the dark red blood had been fused with the dark green clothes. Shen Qing stood aside and watched Miss Locke observe the corpse, Wu was silent, but Xuanlu watched Miss Locke's every move with a serious face.

She knew that Miss Locke was a well-known doctor in the Order, and in addition to her strange temper, her medical skills were amazing. She spent some time in the medical team and learned nothing but how to observe the wounds of corpses.

Miss Locke pressed her hand on the corpse's chest and pressed it gently, and her face immediately became wrong. As if sensing something, she continued to lift the white cloth and found that there was no other wound on her body other than a serious wound in the heart that could give the deceased unnecessary damage.

"The heart was shattered in an instant, and this fatal blow was not delayed at all, what kind of weapon did the other party use...... To inflict such damage? Miss Locke's brow was full of confusion.

"Miss Locke, have you found any clues?" Xuanlu asked.

"Wait!" Miss Locke interrupted Xuanlu, "I need to look at his memories before he died. ”

"Memories before death? What does that mean? Shen Qing looked surprised, he had never heard of a doctor who could peek at the deceased's memories before death.

"This is Miss Locke's 'peep memory,' and you can see the ten minutes before the deceased's death." The female public official standing next to Shen Qing told him.

"Hmm...... Peek? What kind of technology is this? Didn't you say that Miss Locke was a great doctor? Why peek at someone else's memories? Shen Qing's heart was full of complaints, he suddenly felt that Miss Locke's medical skills were just like that, he knew that he didn't kneel, and he wasted more than a dozen kowtows in vain, and his brain was red.

Miss Locke placed her hand on the corpse's head, her eyes closed. The brains of the two parties are synchronized like devices instantly, and the memories in the hippocampus can be preserved for a long time as long as they are not damaged.

Her brain seemed to open another door to memory, as if in sync with the corpse's memory. Miss Locke's central nervous system received any information from the corpse's brain, as if two devices were transmitting data, with only one data cable. The nervous system in her brain began to work, performing their respective functions, and images flashed through her mind one by one, and she could not miss every frame. Familiar scenes, familiar characters, for her, all this is just a recollection from the perspective of a bystander.

She dominated the corpse's memories, feeling like she was there, and the memories were as if they had happened to her. She frowned and recalled that every scene in her mind was perfectly dissected by her, using professional techniques to dissect the corpse with a scalpel. Memories flashed and rewinded, and a high-performance brain was running.

Suddenly, the memory was broken, and all the images disappeared from her mind. She opened her eyes in surprise as if she had watched an American blockbuster, "Lotus...... He was killed by a lotus-like weapon, and the lotus flower bloomed through his heart, and the man who killed him was a fat man. ”

Shen Qing was disappointed, he grabbed his hair angrily, "You saw this after a long time?" What did I think I was going to do, you want to know these things...... I'll tell you directly. ”

"A weapon like a lotus......" Wu was silent.

"Whitewater! Snakehead! Immediately back on the trip, we immediately set off back to the fourth plane. Miss Locke shouted to her two public officials.

"Yes!" The two of them spoke in unison, and Miss Locke stepped down, and the two public officials closed the trunk door. At that moment, Shen Qing was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The moment has come...... We went home. Shen Qing took out a pack of Double Happiness from his pocket, after running around for so long, it was time to rest for a while.

"I'm in charge of this van, you three take my car. By the way, are you going back now? "Miss Locke is in full swing now.

"We'll leave later, we'll have to go to Daybreak and say hello before leaving." ”

"Daybreak ......," Miss Locke was a little confused, "that old fox wouldn't be there, would he?" ”

"Yes, it's Mr. Hua." Xuanlu smiled and corrected Miss Locke's slip of the tongue.

Miss Locke's face was full of indifference, "Go yourself, I'll bring the body back for you, I don't want to see any information about the old fox, I don't know him very well......"

"Hahahaha, it's Mr. Hua." Xuanlu corrected Miss Locke's slip of the tongue again, but Miss Locke still didn't care.

"What's my business? Regardless of age, he still calls me sister! ”

"Hahahahaha

Wu Xiao looked at Shen Qing, "Shen Qing...... Do you want to come with us to say hello to the Daybreak Order? ”

"Hmm......" Shen Qing nodded slightly.
