Chapter 114: Retreat (4K)
Linjiang City, outside the underground base in the bright day.
Luo Hongzhe, a graduate of Cloud Academy, wears a hat and glances at his phone from time to time.
The weather is already relatively hot now, especially now standing under the sun, you can feel that summer is gradually approaching people.
Just standing for a few minutes, Luo Hongzhe felt as if he was covered with a thin layer of fine sweat.
He couldn't help but sigh and continued to open the chat interface of his phone.
Just now, Luo Hongzhe had been watching the classmates and friends he met in the group chat bragging there.
He likes to peep at the screen because it has a feeling of being hidden behind the scenes.
At this moment, the group is talking about some things that Luo Hongzhe can't understand.
[Did you hear that there seems to be a temporary operation in Morrowind City on the side of the Countermeasures Bureau this morning? 】
[Temporary action? Which predecessor didn't stop, or which xenomorph was born again? 】
[No, I heard it say...... Witch! 】
[I'm super, witch?! 】
[I'm super, witch?! 】
[I'm a super witch! 】
[Seems a little wrong?] 】
[Don't go crazy here!] 】
All of a sudden, the content of the group chat was a little crooked.
But soon, some of the more serious people quickly controlled the content in the original direction: [It is said that last night, someone and the witch had a fight in Morrowind City. The momentum is huge, especially huge, and you can see the same rays as the sun from afar! 】
[My uncle's grandfather's granddaughter-in-law's uncle's son was on a mission at that time, and I heard them say that the whole piece of the land was rotten, and the original asphalt road was like soft syrup, and it was scary to look at the thieves. 】
[It's really fake, ghosts, it's worthy of a "disaster"]
[That being said, I guess I stopped yesterday.] After all, it was Morrowind there, and Director Wang was still in charge, so the witch must be afraid. Otherwise, if you have to change to another city, maybe half of the city is gone now, and you have to die at least six figures. 】
[Yes, not to mention anything else in Morrowind City, there are "legends" that really make people feel calm. 】
Soon, it became a flamboyation of Director Wang Weizheng alone.
This is also normal, Director Wang's record is real. Just the serious "disaster", he has cut several with a knife!
Most of the newcomers in the countermeasures bureau may not have heard of Qi Guang or others, but they are definitely familiar with Wang Weizheng!
Because they listened to Director Wang's story and continued to train and grow, until they joined the Countermeasures Bureau and stood on the same side as Director Wang.
Luo Hongzhe is no exception.
He has also heard a lot of stories about Director Wang, such as Director Wang cutting off the head of "Night Hide" with a knife, or taking off the bee sting of the "Queen Bee", and the long knife cutting off the head of the "Red Lotus......
In the eyes of people now, Director Wang is indeed worthy of the name of "legend"!
Therefore, when receiving the order of Director Wang, Luo Hongzhe almost did not hesitate for a moment, and took a car all the way from Yunshi to Linjiang City.
According to Director Wang, he wanted to hand over the valuable things of the Countermeasures Bureau to a certain big man who cooperated with the Countermeasures Bureau.
can make Director Wang feel that he is a "big man", Luo Hongzhe thinks it should be some scholars, or some celebrities.
Wang Weizheng has already made great achievements in his own right, so it is enough for him to need people who are equal and even respectful, and there is no doubt that he is a person who has made outstanding contributions in some way.
Such people should be very old.
That's what Luo Hongzhe thinks.
So he even arrived at his destination a little earlier than scheduled - because he was worried that the old-timers might find it hot and feel unwell.
After all, when you are old, there is always a possibility that there will be some problems in your body. And older people are definitely more comfortable waiting for others than waiting for others.
That's what Luo Hongzhe thinks.
So he was an hour early.
When it was the scheduled time, it was half past nine in the morning.
His phone's alarm clock rang "ding-ding".
After turning off the alarm clock, Luo Hongzhe just raised his head, and felt that a person's shadow seemed to be coming slowly not far from him.
The timing of the other party's arrival coincided exactly with the agreed time, and there was no deviation.
Bending down to hold the thick cardboard box from the ground, Luo Hongzhe said through the cardboard box: "Hello, this is your goods, please sign for it!" ”
The carton was relatively large, so he couldn't see what the consignee on the other side of the carton really looked like.
But judging from the shadows, it doesn't seem to be very big.
Luo Hongzhe thought so in his heart.
Soon, a pair of cold hands grabbed the cardboard box and directly freed his hands.
With so much strength?
Luo Hongzhe was a little surprised, he originally thought that the other party, as an elderly person, should be physically weak.
He was even ready for "home delivery".
Otherwise, Director Wang told him why he sent it to the door.
Glancing in that direction, Luo Hongzhe took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it over and glanced at the other party: "Please sign on this piece of paper......
However, before the words were finished, the rest of the voice choked in his throat.
Because he finally saw the appearance of the "consignee" at this time.
How to put it, unexpected...... Familiar.
If Luo Hongzhe is not mistaken, then he seems to have seen this "big man" with his own eyes about a week ago.
At that time, this person walked with Director Wang, walked around in front of them, and finally chose a certain senior sister among a group of proud people, and asked Director Wang to directly inject a tube of medicine on that senior sister, and then found a few people to send the senior sister away.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
After being sent away, the senior sister came back a few days later, and according to her, the experience during that time could not be said because of the signing of the confidentiality agreement. However, there are some that can be revealed.
"The one who came with Director Wang that day was the 'prophet'."
Senior Sister Wu Xiaoya said with a heartfelt feeling: "I heard that he came to test the potion. ”
"I've heard from the people at the institute that if it weren't for that person, a lot of people would have died to test this thing. But because of him, I found a suitable type at once. ”
"I heard that he really seems to have certain ...... The ability to predict the future! Thieves are scary! ”
Luo Hongzhe still remembers that at that time, Senior Sister Wu Xiaoya subconsciously stuck out her tongue and glanced around vigilantly, before continuing: "Anyway, this is the way things are. I still have a few things to deal with next, so I won't be able to play as often as I am! When we have a chance in the future, we'll see you at the countermeasures bureau! ”
After saying this, Senior Sister Wu Xiaoya left.
Leaving Luo Hongzhe alone to weep secretly.
He has been secretly in love with his senior sister since he first joined the academy.
Although Luo Hongzhe himself is already very good, his senior sister is also very good. In such a situation, he had no chance to confess to his senior sister at all. However, he had already prepared to look at his senior sister all the time, hoping that she would be happy.
But how to say it, when he heard that the senior sister was leaving, or because he was affected by others, Luo Hongzhe was still a little sad.
Although he can't lick his senior sister at all, it's good to just watch it from afar. It's like watching the flowers of Kaolin, even if you can't get close, as long as you can watch it from a distance, it's enough to make people feel refreshed.
Now it's okay, I can't even see it......
Luo Hongzhe was a little sad.
And now, the culprit who caused the senior sister to leave just appeared in front of him.
Although the other party didn't mean it, he just entered his own job, but when he met that person, Luo Hongzhe still had some mixed feelings.
However, the outfit of the person in front of me looks really strange.
It was almost summer, but the other party was not too hot at all to wear a thick black trench coat and a red scarf around his neck.
But this guy actually walked over in such a dress?
And his skin is still very white, even whiter than his senior sister.
But it's not a pretty white, it's like a sickly, eerie white.
Looking at such a person, Luo Hongzhe felt a little panicked for no reason.
He planned to quickly ask the other party to sign for it, and then he left in a hurry.
Otherwise, looking at this face, it will always make Luo Hongzhe think of his first love that was as unimproved as a dog's tail grass on the side of the road......
With a sigh, Luo Hongzhe handed the note to the other party.
The other party also took it, bowed his head and wrote his name on the note.
Luo Hongzhe saw that it was obvious that that guy didn't write his real name, but signed "Prophet" very simply, and even drew a five-pointed star on the back!
Retracting the note, Luo Hongzhe just wanted to leave, but was stopped by that person.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Luo," the man said with a smile, "do you have time now?" ”
"Thank you very much for sending things over, and as a token of appreciation, I'm going to treat you to a cup of tea."
Drink tea?
Luo Hongzhe thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, but I have to catch up with the afternoon training later." ”
He said apologetically, "That's right, we'll have a drill-like event after that." For this activity, we need to maintain a certain amount of training......"
Hearing this, the prophet nodded clearly: "That's the case, then forget it." ”
He said with regret: "In that case, then please accept this." ”
As he spoke, the Prophet pulled open his trench coat and pulled out a small box from his pocket.
The box is very delicate and seems to be made of fine sandalwood. In the middle is a small digital lock, which should be able to open the small box as long as you enter the correct password.
Looking at this small box, Luo Hongzhe hesitated for a moment, but still held it in his hand.
What the hell is this?
He didn't speak, but he said it.
As if seeing Luo Hongzhe's doubts, the prophet chuckled and said, "This is a small gift. ”
"If one day, Mr. Luo feels that he has found the code to open the box, then open it."
As he spoke, the prophet glanced at Luo Hongzhe meaningfully: "I believe that at that time, the contents of the box should be able to give you a little help." ”
"At the very least, it gives you an interesting ...... Choose. ”
What is this man talking about, God is babbling.
Luo Hongzhe rolled his eyes in his heart.
What is meant by "interesting choice" and what is meant by "when the time comes".
It's really annoying that the other party wants to know something but doesn't say it.
Luo Hongzhe originally planned to directly try to open the box after he returned, or simply throw it away.
But I don't know why, the face of the senior sister suddenly appeared in front of me.
It's just that this time, what he cares about is not the face of the senior sister itself, but what the senior sister said.
"That person really seems to have some kind of foresight," the senior sister said seriously, "If nothing else, it's amazing to be able to choose me directly from everyone!" ”
"Of course I know I'm a genius, but if he can see that, he must see that I'm extraordinary! In addition, he asked Director Wang to give me the medicine, others will die if they fight, but I will be fine, it is obvious that he deliberately chose me! ”
Thinking of this, Luo Hongzhe couldn't help but hesitate.
He was hesitating whether he should listen to his senior sister or not, and really tried to believe this guy.
After a moment's hesitation, he sighed.
"Thank you for your gift," Luo Hongzhe said politely, "Your goods have also been signed, so I wish you a good mood." ”
After saying this, he rubbed the small box and planned to leave.
In the end, he still didn't make up his mind whether to listen or not to listen.
The main reason is that what this prophet said is too mysterious and does not have any clear direction. For example, "timing", the devil knows when is the right "timing".
But he didn't throw it either.
What the main senior sister said does seem to have a little truth......
In short, in the entanglement, Luo Hongzhe slowly disappeared from the prophet's field of vision.
Holding the wide cardboard box, the Prophet smiled secretly.
"It's exciting," he said to himself, "whether the 'actuary' would choose to open the box with his favorite number when faced with an existence that he can't calculate." I believe that if the box is opened, his expression must be wonderful. ”
As he spoke, the Prophet glanced at his phone, then smiled and said, "I didn't lie to him, that box does contain choices that can affect him." It's just that it's a 'choice' that can only be used when it is opened at a critical moment. ”
"If it is opened early, then the trajectory of his fate will be changed, and the choice will naturally not work. At the end of the day, time is like a river, and when the wind blows lightly, it takes the boat on a different path. ”
The Prophet's eyes flickered: "All I can do is give him a choice that may be superfluous." No matter how much it is, it will stir up his life veil and make him more ...... than the original future More painful. ”
After saying this, the Prophet shrugged, "But that's all for later. ”
"Now you give me a room, and then remember to tell the others to bring me food at regular times. Of course, it's okay not to send it, I don't need to eat anyway. ”
It's just a matter of habit.
The prophet's voice was somewhat unclear.
"Next, I'm going to 'retreat.'"
