"Sit across from you."

"Why are you so raw? I'll just be next to you, don't be polite to Lao Xiao. ”

"Sit across from you. ”

"Oh, oops, why are you so serious, I haven't seen you for so long, why don't you go out and find a place to drink until you vomit?"

"Sit across from each other!"

"Damn, come on, okay, I'm afraid you'll become, sit on the opposite side, sit on the opposite side. Oops, this sofa is so soft, tsk, cotton, right?"

In the easternmost secretary's office on the sixth floor of the office building of a government compound in Dongcheng District, Beijing, Gu Tie sat on the green suede sofa chair, looking at Xiao Liping's expression in a cold sweat while talking about it. At this time, the first secretary knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Gu, please have tea." He placed a coaster with the words "Central Organ Office" on the coffee table, and placed a steaming white porcelain teacup.

"Thank you!" Finally having a chance to breathe, Gu Tie grabbed the teacup and drank it all, put down the cup and wiped his mouth: "Good tea!"

"Freshly baked boiling water, isn't it hot, Mr. Gu?" the first secretary looked at him dumbfounded.

"It's not hot!" Gu Tie's entire tongue was gone, and he said stiffly around his neck.

At this time, Xiao Liping stood up and walked out from behind the desk: "You go out, the work of serving tea and pouring water is not what you should do, Xiao Li The manuscript they prepared should be ready, you review it first, and then give it to me." In addition, I won't go to the meeting in the afternoon, you can inform Lao Wang and Lao Liu, and then ask Chen Ju if he is free, and if so, let him go for me. ”

"Okay, Secretary Xiao. Don't forget to take your medicine at half past two. The secretary nodded, filled Xiao Liping's thermos cup and Gu Tie's teacup with water, and turned around and went out with a hot water kettle.

Xiao Liping sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Tie, holding the thermos cup with both hands, his glasses reflecting the sunlight shining in from the window, and he couldn't see his true expression clearly through his glasses. Gu Tie, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is most afraid of the man with glasses opposite in his life, and he can't figure out where this fear comes from, "That, Lao Xiao ......" As soon as he spoke, he felt that his mouth was almost ripe, Gu Tie said vaguely while inhaling the cool air: " If you want to scold me, you can scold me, I have been mentally prepared for a long time, this time I am really wrong, I am sorry that I have made a big mistake, I am sorry for the party, I am sorry for the people, I am sorry for the country, I am sorry for the society, I am sorry for the brothers and friends who trusted me, and I am sorry for the phased achievements in the building of socialist spiritual civilization......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Liping slapped the table, so startled that Gu Tie shrank back, and almost rolled to the ground with a sofa chair. "A whole company! A sharp knife company equipped with the latest test weapons! The vanguard of the 65th Army's various competitions! Unexpectedly, the entire formation was wiped out by the enemy, and the enemy was only two people, two people! You, you, you, you, ......" Secretary Xiao leaned over and poked the tip of Gu Tie's nose with his right index finger: "You don't understand how much trouble you have caused at all! This country still stresses the legal system, politics, and rules! And you, since you were a child, have you been an unruly guy, how many times have you been on a rampage in front, and I have been chasing after you and wiping your ass?" ”

Gu Tie said aggrievedly: "It's not necessarily that you wiped my ass, I also wiped your ass, otherwise it would be so easy to get that Director Ding out of office? The ones who wipe each other's butts are good friends and good brothers, right? And the matter of wiping the butt cannot be determined by the number of times, no matter who has wiped it for whom many times, anyone who is willing to take risks and pee on the fart is worthy of praise, right?"

This time, Secretary Xiao didn't speak, he reached out and pushed the tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, and the eyes under the lenses stared at him coldly. Gu Tie swallowed his saliva and closed his mouth honestly. He moved around on the couch, feeling as if there were 10,000 ants crawling around under his buttocks, and it was uncomfortable to sit on.

"Forget it. After a long time, Xiao Liping sighed, leaned on the sofa and said leisurely: "It's useless to say that you, you have a stinky and hard temper, and you can't change it until the end of the world." -- Speaking of which, the end of the world is not far away. ”

Gu Tie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter was over. "I know it's wrong, Old Shaw. He diligently took out his cigarette case and handed it to the other party, which he had secretly stolen from under the coffee table when he first entered the office, "Smoke and smoke." It's not that the hunters don't work hard, it's true that the fox is too ferocious, if there is a chance to do it all over again, I will definitely not let the brothers of the 3rd Company accompany us desperately, it is not a gap that can be made up by the number of people at all, a thought is wrong, more than a hundred lives, alas!" Speaking of this, he himself felt very annoyed, and took out a Chinese cigarette and put it in his mouth. Most of the PLA who died on the battlefield were just children, and even if he was used to seeing death, he was a little sad from the bottom of his heart.

"Click. Xiao Liping picked up the disposable lighter on the table and lit a cigarette for Gu Tie. "Forget it, luckily you got out of it. Through this contact, and the information you received from the ghost's right hand, we have at least figured out a few things, a few very important things. First, the hidden forces of the Red Owl Brotherhood have long been rooted in China, and this time the resistance within the Beijing Military Region came from the top, and it was also this force that sent follow-up troops to the battlefield, and it is still impossible to find out who it is. The water in the army is too deep for me to fathom. Second, the Brotherhood has created inhuman monsters through genetic modification, and one person is worthy of an army. Thirdly, the fact that the Japanese branch of the Brotherhood created the 'First World' and the 'Second World', while the other branch was responsible for operating in the 'World', proves that they put a lot of effort into the virtual world. What does this mean, taken together?"

"They're brewing something, or preparing for something, and these forces all seem to be prepared in advance for a certain goal, I dare say, not a good thing. Gu Tie took a deep breath of his cigarette and spewed out blue smoke from his nostrils.

"What would you do if you were the head of a huge organization and suddenly learned that one day in the future, the history of mankind would come to an end?" Xiao Liping also lit a cigarette and asked calmly.

Gu Tie touched his nose: "Hmph, of course it is to seek a way out, and then spend all your energy on this way out, sneak into the village, don't shoot, until the end of the world, only believers can survive." ”

Speaking of this, the two of them fell silent in unison, and the two smart brains flashed countless clues in an instant, completing the huge puzzle piece by bit. But at the same time, they decided not to talk about it anymore because it was too realistic and too heavy. "That, Lao Xiao, can you skip work in the afternoon? Accompany me to the Quantum Angel Fund to have a look, and then go home, several wounded people are living in my house, if you don't go back, you can't do it." Shall we go to Houhai or Sanlitun at night? Oh yes, since that time I drank too much and stood on the silver ingot bridge to pee in Houhai, I can't go to the lotus market anymore. Anyway, where to drink is not vomiting? Just find a restaurant, stew, grill skewers, you can do it. Gu Tie asked with a grinning expression.

Xiao Liping pushed his glasses: "Come on, you're just afraid that the little girl will chop you and eat it raw, just pull me on as a cushion." ”

Gu Tie shuddered: "Shhh, don't mention her, I want to go to the toilet and go to the kidneys when I mention it." ”

"That's right, iron. Secretary Xiao pondered for a while, "I'll help you probe, no one in the country is paying attention to you now, no matter Chernobyl or just now, it has not attracted the attention of the big guys, and you are safe after recovering your appearance and entering Beijing." Other than that...... I've continued to try to find information about your biological father, but nothing has progressed, and that history has been sealed very tightly. ”

"It's fine, just when I jumped out of a crack in the rock. Gu Tie grinned.

Xiao Liping looked at him deeply, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't speak.

After chatting for a while, the two of them got up and walked out, and when they opened the door, Eva was standing outside the suite, and the room looked at them with a little dissatisfaction: "What are you doing inside? What do the two big men look like behind closed doors? What if there is danger? I'm the only one here to protect you, and I haven't brought a gun yet, so if you meet the enemy, won't it be all over?"

Since the group entered Beijing City in the car of the Ministry of State Security, Gu Tie arranged the wounded of the Glorious Circus to his own home, and asked Zhao Bo to help take care of him, and he finally took off the mask on his face, no matter what, he still felt quite safe in the imperial capital. However, Eva insisted on following him, and even had to stay outside when he went to the toilet, and after a full sleep, Gu Tie received a call from Xiao Liping, asking him to come to the work unit to meet, and he could only bring Xiao Lori over.

"I, him, haha!" Gu Tie pointed to his nose and then to Xiao Liping, and the two of them laughed together. Eva angrily walked outside: "It's good to look good when something happens, laugh, laugh a fart......"

"How old is this little lesbian? Secretary Xiao looked at her back and asked secretly.

"Oh, Lao Xiao, it turns out that your interest is like this......" Gu Tie pretended to be surprised, and then smiled: "I'm still young, maybe it's not suitable for you, I'm only in my early thirties." ”

Xiao Liping choked on these words and coughed, and Eva glared back at them. At this time, the first secretary came over: "Kid, do you want to go, do you want candy?"

"Thank you, uncle, no need!" Little Lori had to change her innocent and innocent expression and smiled sweetly. "Woe to the country and the people, it's terrible, it's terrible. Secretary Xiao commented.

The group went downstairs and got into Xiao Li Pingjing's Audi car with a V license plate. The headquarters of the Quantum Angel Fund is in Changping District, about a forty-minute drive from here, Gu Tie, who was sitting in the back seat, connected to the quantum network and put on a comfortable posture: "I want to go into the 'world' to see, don't wake me up." After arriving in Beijing, in addition to eating and sleeping, I was busy, and I didn't have time to go back to see it, and I was really itchy. - Also, if I find the Joker, I'll bring him back, I promise. ”

Ever since seeing Andrzej Vaznosawa the Ghost's left-handed captain on the battlefield, Terry the Clown has fallen into a coma and has never woken up. This time he was hiding too deeply, and Gu Tie was wondering if he could find out his personality from the virtual world, of course, with the vastness of the 'world', the chances of meeting him were too small.

The azure interface gradually faded, and the familiar sense of crossing and peeling came, and at this short moment on the boundary between the real world and the virtual world, Gu Tie suddenly heard a voice in the haze, a voice that sounded in the depths of his soul.

"Did you actually receive this instruction?"
