Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Truth That Can't Be Faced for the Time Being

When Du Jin was thinking about bringing this technology back to the present world, the governor spoke:

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to ask for some information, of course, if I'm asking about a topic you don't want to touch, you can skip or reject it, although the real Xia Kingdom has now been "swallowed" by the Federation, but the traditions and etiquette she taught us will not be erased, won't it? By the way, you may not know my name, although this is also classified to some extent, but openness and honesty are the prerequisite for communication, isn't it? Tan Jialiang: That's my name. ”

Li Mengyan was slightly stunned, and her heart was much less vigilant against this governor, as she had previously served as an assault squadron in the Third Fleet of Xia Kingdom, she would definitely not be unfamiliar with this name, Tan Jialiang, this is the name of the former chief of staff of Xia Guoxing District, this chief of staff was widely known in Xia and its pan-Asian camp at that time for his outstanding command ability and outstanding political talent, and the first and second fleets that were the main fleets of Xia at that time were actually commanded by him, although the two commanders-in-chief of these two fleets were unwilling, However, due to Tan Jialiang's excellent combat command ability and battlefield adaptability, they did not have to accept the facts.

In the early and middle stages of the battle against country M and its affiliated camps, Chief of Staff Tan Jialiang can be said to have pressed and beaten these "civilization tumors" fleets, and even played a "miracle" with a battle loss ratio of about 1:50 in the heyday, and finally almost pushed it directly to the capital planet of country M, but the emergence of the "Trojan Horse" AI virus made this battlefield genius have to "eat the bitter fruit", but it was also he who intercepted and blocked several AI-infected cleanup fleets in the follow-up resistance movement, so that the population on the main planet was evacuated, escaped, but as far as Li Mengyan last learned before going into hibernation, Chief of Staff Tan Jialiang seems to have died honorably at the last moment of resisting the AI fleet.

Moreover, some hostile forces in the Interstellar Federation have also traced the traces of this chief of staff behind the scenes after the Xia Kingdom was merged into the Federation, after all, with this old man's record, those "dormant people" of M country and its camp are definitely afraid and hateful, it is simply a nightmare on their battlefield, and the results of the search are the same as everyone "expected", nothing was found, and all the evidence seems to indicate that this legendary general before the Xia Kingdom has indeed "fallen", Li Mengyan didn't expect to see this idol since he joined the army at this time, but there was one thing she still had some doubts, the governor in front of her was very different from the chief of staff Tan Jialiang in her impression, but the implied perseverance and loyalty did not seem to have changed much.

But Li Mengyan, as a very insistent in his heart, still insisted that he was a soldier of the Xia Kingdom, and still stood up and paid tribute to the governor for solemnly using the military salute of the Xia State (after the Xia State was incorporated into the Federation, the Federation promulgated a unified military etiquette, and the etiquette of the original country was replaced), but the Governor still saw a trace of hesitation from Li Mengyan's eyes, which did not make him have any negative emotions, but said naturally:

"Comrade Mengyan, you may think that my appearance is a little different from before, and there is nothing to blame you for this, but you must know that if you want to perfectly disguise your identity, you must first deceive yourself and the people around you, except for my subordinates, almost no one knows my true identity now, and in the future, you can call me by my current name in public: Feng Jitong."

"Yes! Sir! ”

The suspicion in Li Mengyan's heart has basically been eliminated, if the other party really wants to set herself, there is no need to use Tan Jialiang as a "bait", and she can also judge the truth from the timbre and details of the governor's voice, you must know that Li Mengyan's worship of Tan Jialiang, the legend, is almost the same as those so-called "die-hard fans" in the world, for her "idol", a true love fan has countless ways to judge whether the other party is impersonating or pretending, and at this moment her reason and thinking clearly tell her that this will not go wrong.

Du Jin looked at the two, although he knew that it might be a little inappropriate for him to speak now, but he was now very puzzled about the reason why this Tan Jialiang left him, because he and Li Mengyan were close friends? I'm afraid this is no different from telling a joke, thank you for having to pull yourself aside to listen to some unknown "secrets", and then silence it? According to Tan Jialiang's words, his true identity is absolutely confidential, so Du Jin is sure that the reason why Tan Jialiang called everything about himself and Li Mengyan is not as simple as condolences and "eating melons".

So Du Jin didn't worry about anything anymore, and asked Tan Jialiang directly:

"Staff Officer Tan, I'm sorry to disturb you, but the reason why you called me here is probably not as simple as letting me sit here and "visit", right? ”

"That's right! Dr. Du, you are more eager than I thought, but you are also more straightforward, so that we can communicate directly. ”

Tan Jialiang said to Du Jin very normally, although Du Jin was a little annoyed by Tan Jialiang's somewhat playful words, but after all, the level and authority of the people were there, so he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart, nodded to the other party, and quietly prepared to listen to what the Tan Chief of Staff wanted to ask.

Looking at Du Jin's calm eyes, Tan Jialiang's eyes seemed to have a doubt, this doubt was actually more like a doubt about his own judgment, but even so, he slowly asked:

"Dr. Du, I'm sorry to ask for the first meeting, but after all, this contains some of my personal conjectures, if that's the case, then everything now will be a conspiracy forged farce, may I ask, did you find anything in the previous "Eden" El Planet mining mission, such as fragments? Or that so-called "seal" of the United Church? ”

Tan Jialiang's words undoubtedly made Du Jin slightly nervous, because he had an intuition, the old man in front of him probably guessed that he had the experience of black blood mark enhancement, but then thinking of McCass's words and Li Mengyan's "tight-lipped", his heart slowly relaxed, and after pondering for a moment, Du Jin shrugged his shoulders and replied:

"First of all, I'm not a member of the Unity Church anymore, maybe I was talking about what happened in the El system, but I'm very sorry, I've almost forgotten all about my previous memories now, of course, one thing I learned later, the night before I lost my memory and was hunted down by the Unity Church, I seemed to have hidden something, Captain Mercas can testify to me, but I didn't find it, only found an artificial intelligence in the office that originally belonged to me, and I didn't find anything else useful, of courseIf the Chief of Staff deems it necessary, I can give you this AI-loaded device I found for inspection, but I hope you can restore it to its original state after the examination, after all, in my subconscious, it seems to have been left to me by one of my relatives. ”

For "Xiao Ai", Du Jin didn't want to say it to her, but the slightly larger device on his wrist was too conspicuous, although Du Jin was sure that it was impossible to find a high-level AI only from the outside, and he also believed that Li Mengyan would be tight-lipped and would not easily say this matter, but in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles and future misunderstandings, Du Jin almost told Tan Jialiang without reservation except for the black blood seal, which is the secret that only he knows and is the fundamental secret of his own life, of course, This is also Du Jin's trust and confidence in the ability of "Xiao Ai", using some means to deceive those detection programs and equipment, making her think that "Xiao Ai" is just a primary artificial intelligence, which is the best protection for her.

Du Jin's "openness" made the solemnity on Tan Jialiang's face slowly disappear, but he looked at the data on the detection screen, except for the big fluctuations in Du Jin's body data before the start, there was no emotion and data fluctuations when explaining the rest of the matters, this psychological detection equipment is an intelligence tool specially used for interrogation, and it is also one of the technologies that Xia Guo did not hand over to the Interstellar Federation, it can not only detect changes in various organs and circulatory systems of the human body, In other words, as long as Du Jin is a human and has not been mechanized by prosthetics, it will not appear, and at this time, the screen is very clearly displayed: no abnormality, and the floating value is within a reasonable range.

Tan Jialiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, what happened on the "Eden" reminded him of some past events that broke out at the border, although he had learned a truth that subverted his cognition through various channels and methods, but before the conclusive evidence and clues were found, Tan Jialiang was not willing to face the so-called "truth", because it was definitely a huge "scandal" for the entire human race.

It seems that the "Chosen One" is not him, and my people and I are not ready to face it. ”

Thinking of this, Tan Jialiang's face regained a smile like a warm sunshine, and he nodded to Du Jin and said:

"Dr. Du, thank you for your cooperation, we will inspect the equipment you found, but I can guarantee that it will be returned to you as soon as possible, and there will be no damage, Dr. Du can rest assured that I will compensate Dr. Du for the reward during this time."

Du Jin did not refuse to "compensate" like the protagonists of those novels, and walked away, the practice of replacing interests with character, at least Du Jin can't do it now, after all, to a certain extent, he is now under the "house arrest" and surveillance of the chief of staff, and he cannot be allowed to have too much sense of resistance and behavior.
