Chapter 730: Does She Like Me?
Hanging up, Jock told the rest of the High Council the heavy news.
The high-ranking councillors, who were overwhelmed by the change, invariably put down their business and started the last meeting of the day.
Although they claim to be devout believers, they have never fully opened their hearts to God, and their faith is closer to a power movement, so deep down they do not want God to get into the world too soon.
But now, they have nothing else to do.
The final meeting went so smoothly that everyone quickly reached a consensus and quickly moved on to the next stage of the work, shifting the topic to what to do with the psionic ones.
"Jock, contact them, it's time for them to do something."
Not surprisingly, this burden eventually fell on Jock, who had become the new talker of the Fishing Boat Club since the death of the Secretary-General, and Jock was not averse to this, and the meeting went exactly as he expected, and he had already turned over the long-hidden contact information before attending the meeting.
Because Jasmine and Akon are in the way, the company and the family have lost the trust of the candidates, and they certainly can't willingly become a tribute to the gods, so they need some real experts to "convince" them.
"Guardian of the Spirits."
This is a secret organization that nominally disappeared more than a decade ago.
There is only one requirement to become a member of the group - to have killed more than 1 psyker.
Although it was very short-lived, it was so fruitful that many of the Coalition Government's institutions are still using their textbooks.
One of the most famous is the "How to Kill a Psychic Man" series, which has become a compulsory course for the new generation of coalition governments, but few people know that this widely used textbook was originally written by civil society organizations.
A fanatical civil organization.
In the aftermath of the Dark Ages, these awakened folks spontaneously formed an organization for psionics everywhere and launched a "witch hunt" for 2166.
As history has proven countless times, such extreme organizations often fail to exist for long.
Initially hunted for the remnants of the Dark Ages, those who used psionic powers for evil, but the movement gradually evolved into a war against psionics, and even ordinary people suspected of being psionic were "strangled in the cradle".
This grand "witch hunt" eventually provoked the head of the rescuer department, and under the encirclement and suppression of the six-star rescuers, these civil people fell apart and gradually went to ruin...... However, these are all statements recorded by the coalition government, but in reality, their talents are appreciated by many, they are reunited by secret means, and a sum of money is allocated every year to fund their activities.
Jock is one of them.
His idea was very simple—there was always a time when it would be useful.
And now is the time.
"'Sub-Empty Barrier'? …… Yes, I need his information, the more detailed the better. ”
The person on the other end of the phone agreed very decisively, and didn't even talk to Jock about the pay part on the phone.
"Legally" kill a six-star rescuer candidate for the coalition government.
There is no more tempting reward for the Guardian.
What's more, they have a long-standing grudge with the rescuer department, and at that time, they were chased by the six-star rescuers and went to the end of the road.
However, that doesn't mean they're all down.
On the contrary, after witnessing the six-star psionic powers, they were firm in their belief that even those who stood at the pinnacle of the coalition government's psionic abilities were not invincible, as long as they were given enough information and preparation time.
………………………………
Late that night, a text message caused Akon to sit up straight from his bed.
Although the health practice method is good, but the disadvantages are gradually revealed, he naps too long during the day, resulting in a sharp decline in sleep quality at night, after all, if you want to sleep more than 20 hours a day, it is also necessary to have the ability, and it is difficult for a health master who is not a backbone level to do.
Yakong felt that if the path of health cultivation also had a title, he should only be in the state of "first glimpse of the door" now, and there was still a big distance between him and Mr. Lu Qi, a health master who "reached the peak".
The person who sent the text message hid the number information, but he was as smart as him and saw the other party's true identity at a glance.
Former agent of MI7, the hero who saved his life in the sewers.
Unfortunately, after the negotiation, she still could not dispel her wariness of MI7 and the higher-ups, and reported the information she had investigated about the "Tree of Sin" to the presiding officer, and then left on her own.
Yakong was very sorry, but he was helpless.
The former agent said that he had found a place to settle down temporarily in the past few days, and he also told her the results of the recent investigation in a text message.
There are more and more cases of people going missing.
The "tree of sin" eats several times more often, and the entire underground waterway has become a breeding ground for it.
With her alone, it would be difficult to continue the investigation, and Akon was the only person she trusted at the moment.
"Unique", "Trust".
Akon noticed these two keywords at a glance, and he felt that they should be marked with wavy lines underneath, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to know more about someone of the opposite sex.
Although many people complain that he looks like a bad boy, in fact, his relationship with the opposite sex is very miserable, and the courage he once mustered up with great difficulty ended in failure, and over time, Yakong lost interest in the opposite sex.
But now, in the middle of the night on a moonlit night, the former MI7 agent invited him to the secret residence he had found.
What kind of trust is this?
It's a pity that Sister Jasmine is not by his side now, otherwise he must consult the other party, is this text message hinting at his favor?
Maybe this is the beginning of a relationship.
Before leaving, Yakong felt that he had to think carefully about some important issues.
For example, where is the wedding better, by the way, and the name of the child.
All of this has to be thought out in advance.
He held the phone in his hand for a long time, eager to share his feelings with others, but since this set of text messages involved the secret residence of the former agent, he sent a consulting text message to Jasmine in the tone of Mohu:
"Sister Jasmine, you said that if the opposite sex doesn't sleep late at night and sends you a text message asking you to come out to meet, what does this mean?"
"It means that he may be tired of being alive."
Jasmine also became a victim of her wellness practice, and at night she moved a chair and sat in front of the window, feeling sleepy.
Not long ago, her sister harshly criticized her on the issue of health practice, so naturally she did not have a good attitude towards Yakong's unexplained harassing text messages.
Akon did not reply to Jasmine.
Because he suddenly remembered that Sister Jasmine had always been single, maybe this text message stimulated her.
Yakong turned over and got up, carefully sorted out his appearance in the mirror for nearly twenty minutes, changed into the suit he usually didn't like to wear, and after hesitating, he sprayed some men's perfume - these were all prepared for him by the company, saying that it would help his personal image, but he always thought that only sissies wore perfume.
It was not difficult to avoid the terrorist motorists and law enforcers patrolling the streets, and it took less than twenty minutes for Yakong to arrive at the "rendezvous place" that was half a city away from Galaxy Transport.
It is said that the company is preparing a renovation plan, and most of the residents in it have been cleared out, and now there are only one or two nail households left who are unwilling to move out, and their children work in the rescuer department, and the company has not dared to solve the problem by force.
According to the information given by the text message, Yakong soon came to the meeting place.
He stood still in the doorway for a long time, straightened his hair, and then took out a plastic rose from the pocket on the inside of his coat, which he had commissioned the rest of MI7 staff to find for him.
Adjusting his image to the best state, Yakong knocked on the door of the apartment.
But as there was a knock on the door, he realized that the door of the apartment was unlocked, and almost at the same time, there was a rapid "whining" sound in the apartment.
The former agent did appear in his sight.
She was just tied to a chair in the middle of the living room of the apartment, the electronic handcuffs fixed her hands and feet to the stool, the dirty rag gagged her mouth, and her eyes widened nervously when she saw Yakong enter the door.
Akon also noticed that she had a countdown device strapped to her body.
Almost instinctively, he walked over to the former agent to help her untie the electron beam.
"Mr. Akong, if I were you, I wouldn't do that."
An electronically processed voice came from the phone on the coffee table next to the former agent, "If you do that, these bombs will be detonated in the first place." ”
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I want to play a game with you, and there are rules in this game, if you untie her harness, the bomb will explode; If you try to take her out of this room, the bomb will explode; If you try to notify other people to come here, the bomb will explode; If you ask her to speak, the bomb will explode...... And all you have to do is use the tools in the room to stop it before the numbers are finished. ”
Another bomb!
Akon gritted his teeth, this was the second time he had encountered a bomb since he arrived in District 1, and some bad images came to his eyes.
Last time, he couldn't save the repairman who had the bomb planted.
"Mr. Akong, this is the queen of fate."
The person on the other end of the line continued, "I thought it would take a lot of effort to find her, but fate sent her to the door by herself...... You can also refuse the game and walk out of the door as if nothing had happened, of course, the moment you step out of the door, you will hear an explosion behind you, but I believe that with your ability, this level of explosion will not hurt you. ”
"I'll find you."
"Then we'll see."
The person on the phone smiled, "But until then, time waits for no one, and it's time for you to deal with the problem at hand." ”
