Chapter 10: Ordinary People
Lu Yuansheng casually found a mask to put on, anyway, he had done a full disguise when he was in contact with Su Yue before, as for the two B-level team members who had heard his true voice, there was no need to care too much, anyway, in their eyes, Lu Yuansheng might be a mysterious senior officer.
He didn't rush to join Su Yue's team, and only after they got into the car in a hidden uninhabited location did he walk up quickly from the side and knock on their window.
"You ......"
The male B-class team member, who was the driver, vigilantly lowered half of the car window and stared at Lu Yuansheng.
Lu Yuansheng hid his countermeasures bureau wolf card in the palm of his hand and signaled it, and said in a suppressed voice: "Temporary worker." ”
The other party understood, because Lu Yuansheng also asked Li Si to add him to this security mission with the anonymous code name of "temporary worker" in advance.
The door lock was opened, and Lu Yuansheng simply entered it neatly and sat next to Su Yue.
Facing the new members, Su Yue was obviously a little restrained, and moved her body to Li Xiao on the side.
"Don't be nervous, I'm your guide too."
Lu Yuansheng stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and Su Yue shook hands with him after hesitating for a while, she didn't seem to know the meaning of this word yet.
"What is a guide?"
"The person who taught you the common sense of the countermeasures bureau is also your boss during the probationary period, and the examiner of whether you can become a regular in the end. You wouldn't think the countermeasures bureau would be so easy to join, would you? What's more, you're just an ordinary person now. ”
Lu Yuansheng briefly explained two sentences, and then motioned for them to drive.
The female team member sitting in the co-pilot also turned her head a little and looked at Lu Yuansheng.
Lu Yuansheng looked at her and stopped talking, and simply said, "We just met not long ago." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry." The female team member realized that she was a little out of shape, and quickly apologized, and at the same time introduced herself: "Hello Mr. Temporary Worker, we are the main members of this mission, this time the code name is Sydney, he is my partner, Rock Candy." I'm just a little curious, why do non-staff people have guides now? ”
She also addressed Lu Yuansheng with the honorific title of "you", and at the same time, she did recognize by her voice that this was a mysterious commander who had given them a B-class mission not long ago. Personnel within the Bureau of Countermeasures can voluntarily issue assistance tasks that are lower than their own level, so only senior personnel who may be A level or higher can issue B-level tasks.
"She's special."
Lu Yuansheng replied simply, and at the same time secretly complained in his heart that their temporary code name this time was still so ...... "special", he guessed if Xiaoyuan was lazy when writing AI programs, and stuffed a recipe introduction directly into it, otherwise why would he use some food and drink as a code name every time.
"In addition, I was at the venue just now, and this time I just stopped by to meet her, you don't have to worry about me, just continue the task."
"Yes."
The two of them said yes at the same time as if they were receiving orders, and this action made Su Yue realize that the guide next to him might not be simple.
Lu Yuansheng is indeed not simple, but he is really a C-level second-line junior staff who is in a relationship, which can't make people find any flaws.
"Uh...... Thank you for your help, Mr. Temp, I don't know what I need to learn? Also, I may have recently ...... It's busy. ”
Su Yue said cautiously.
At the same time, Li Xiao, an assistant on the side, also asked, "That, do I need to avoid it?" ”
"It doesn't matter, you're busy with yours, anyway, I still have a lot of time in the future...... Su Yue: Right? Let's talk slowly, for now, just let you learn some common sense first. ”
Lu Yuansheng looked at Su Yue slightly, pretending to know each other for the first time, and at the same time raised Erlang's legs a little contrivedly, and put his hands crossed on his knees, looking like a big guy sitting.
"First of all, the first question, why did you join the Countermeasures Bureau."
This is a very regular question, and most newcomers will be asked this question after joining, and most of them will express some feelings about maintaining social peace and stability. But even such a simple question, Su Yue thought about it for a long time.
Lu Yuansheng was not in a hurry at all, just quietly watched her expression.
It was a very serious thinking look, the makeup on the face may have been removed by the way in the bathroom, and there was no bad smell at this time, only a faint fragrance, I don't know what kind of perfume it is. Her gaze kept looking underneath, the tips of her hair blocking some of her cheeks.
"I don't know."
After a long silence, Su Yue handed over a puzzling answer.
But she immediately replied with some embarrassment: "I didn't take the initiative to join the countermeasures bureau, just because a sister named Liu Ai told me that I already know too many things that ordinary people can't touch, and joining the countermeasures bureau as a supernumerary can also protect my safety to a certain extent." ”
She also cautiously raised her head and glanced at Lu Yuansheng, but quickly dodged it, as if she was afraid that her reply would displease the other party.
"Then let me ask you the second question, what are your thoughts after joining the countermeasures bureau?"
However, Lu Yuansheng's tone was still relatively gentle, and he couldn't hear any dissatisfaction.
After all, for him, joining the Countermeasures Bureau is not for any lofty ideals, just to help Li Si, and by the way, to check some things, and even the reasons for many people to join the Countermeasures Bureau are not pure.
This kind of honesty is also a good thing.
Scenes quickly crossed Su Yue's mind, and if you want to say that the most impressive thing about those special events may be the things you encountered in the mall more than a week ago. If it weren't for that person, probably the entire Metro Line 10, including himself, would have been blown to pieces.
There are also recent events, according to Liu Ai's sister, there seems to be another mystery about her father's death.
But if you are an ordinary person, what can you do?
"I ...... I used to think about it...... I thought about what I could do to help, but the world was far more complicated than I imagined, and I was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person with no skills...... I can only try to get things done as well as I can get my hands on. ”
"If my answer disappoints you, I don't mind taking the initiative to quit the countermeasures, and there is no need to spend too many resources on me, I'm not really a special person."
She lowered her head, and in front of this truly special temporary worker, she had no courage to express herself in the bathroom.
"Wrong!"
Lu Yuansheng's voice was decisive and powerful.
"Today I want to teach you a common sense first, that is, don't look down on ordinary people."
"Do you think the Bureau of Countermeasures is here to protect ordinary people from special humans? No, the full name of the Countermeasures Bureau is the Special Events Countermeasures Bureau, and among these special events, guess what proportion of the incidents belong to special populations? ”
Lu Yuansheng saw that the other party couldn't answer, so he took the initiative to say: "About 36%, this is last year's data." There are also 19% of the events that belong to non-human mutant monsters, that is, nearly half of the special events are caused entirely by ordinary people. ”
"Humans have a variety of abilities because of mutations, but do you think these mutations are harmless?"
"Randomness and more harm than good, this seems to be what is taught in middle school textbooks. These mutations are more likely to resemble an incurable disease. Coupled with the low probability of mutation, there are really very few special humans who can really disrupt normal society. ”
"What really often endangers society is more of the ordinary people who have access to dangerous technology. It's just that under our strict control, you don't usually come into contact with many of these events. But in some foreign countries, ordinary people who have undergone body modification abound, and lethal technological weapons are displayed in stores like cabbage. ”
"At this time, are they still ordinary?"
Lu Yuansheng looked at Su Yue and wanted to hear her answer.
"It's not ordinary, but it's probably just ...... False Powerful? ”
Su Yue's tone was full of uncertainty.
"Smack."
Lu Yuansheng snapped his fingers.
"That's right, just looking at external objects is not really powerful...... However, if these people have the will to not even fear death, then they may also have the ability to cause great destruction. In the countermeasures bureau, there are ordinary people who can even reach the A level. ”
"Moreover, do you think that special humans are people with special superpowers?"
"If you think so, you're wrong. They may just have a little better eyesight, a little better hearing, a little quicker reactions, and a little thicker skin than the average person. At least I haven't seen the kind of superpower who can control the flames flying around, this is a world of science, don't always believe what is said in novels and animated movies, technology is much more powerful most of the time. ”
Lu Yuansheng said this sentence without blushing and heartbeat, but he hadn't even really figured out the principle of his ability.
"So if an ordinary person has strong willpower, the courage to not be afraid of death, the wisdom that can be obtained through learning, and the strong physique obtained by exercise, coupled with the high-tech equipment that can be bought, is he still an ordinary person?"
He stopped again and asked Su Yue the same question again.
"Not anymore."
Su Yue had already begun to think thoughtfully.
Lu Yuansheng nodded lightly, faced her and continued in a serious tone:
"Of course, not all of them can reach the theoretical limits of the average human in all respects, but-"
He paused, looked into eye contact with Su Yue, and said this sentence to the somewhat confused girl:
"You can be a special person if you want to."
He felt that what this girl needed most now might just be a little self-confidence.
——
Naturally, the chaos in the financial sector will have little effect on the countryside.
There is a village 70 kilometers away from the city of Chidu, which is as calm as ever, it looks like other ordinary villages on the surface, but there are few people in the few kilometers next to the village, there are many camouflage reconnaissance points hidden in the mountains and forests, and even a few chariots can be seen.
An extremely dangerous force that really wants to hide here - the rocket battalion.
The main unit of the rocket battalion is placed in the underground cave, and under the surrounding mountains, there are all kinds of terrifying high-energy long-range missiles, as long as a command, the cathartic ammunition can accurately hit any corner of the world.
An invisible figure, now hidden in the mountains and forests, breathed in the gradually cold evening air, mixed with the smell of dinner.
According to the order of Akihiro Sun, Shadow stayed in Dongzhou to carry out many secret missions. When she fought with the three of Deng Qishan, she remembered their taste, and even after seventy kilometers of separation, she could still find the thin information left in the air to find this military base disguised as a village.
There was no rush to find the intersection to the underground, and Shadow knew in his heart that it was definitely not easy to make the place where the team could be stationed, and all kinds of precautions must be very tight.
Her robes had been replaced with new ones, and the light still seemed to pass through her body, allowing her to completely disappear. She had been hiding here for a day, and the smells had gradually drawn a clear picture in her mind, the village, the mountains, the various hidden facilities, and the land hidden a huge space.
As the sun sets, only the chirping of insects remains in the mountains, and the opportunity she has been waiting for has finally arrived. A lone soldier wearing a pair of night vision devices was patrolling the forest, but he couldn't see a person hiding in the bushes.
As soon as the soldier approached Shadow's position, he suddenly fell unconscious, and Shadow's hand reached out from his robe, supporting the soldier's body and preventing him from making a sound. Without any light, Shadow took out an identity card from the other party, but this was far from enough, her half-fingered glove palm wrapped an extremely thin nanowire, she wrapped the thin wire around the palm of the other party's right hand, pulled hard, and a flat break appeared on the soldier's arm, and the blood did not even gush out in the first place.
Shadow wiped the cut at the end of her palm with a special piece of paper, and the cut stopped bleeding as if it had been burned.
Prepared with the necessary tools, she silently traversed through the mountains and forests, found a silo hidden underground, easily opened and drilled into it, and inside hid an internal passage for equipment maintenance, leading to deeper ground.
Just as she had sketched out the route based on the scent, she used the identity information she had just obtained to easily enter a huge underground space through this internal passage, where various military facilities were complete, and she even noticed that many of the walls were buried with weapons traps, which could be turned into a mechanical bunker in an instant, sweeping away all invading enemies.
Provided, of course, that they can spot the invading enemy.
Shadow found a hidden corner to hide, and adjusted her breath to slow down her breathing rate, until only a gossamer breath remained. However, this did not prevent her from obtaining a variety of information about the interior of the huge facility based on the various scents flowing in the air, and once she fully understood the internal structure and personnel distribution of the facility, she could safely and easily probe more secrets.
However, she hadn't been hiding for long before she heard a voice.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
It was the sound of a cane tapping on the ground, and the position of the shadow was not only hidden, but also had an angle from which to observe the surroundings. Through her invisibility robes, she saw a young man with a cloth belt wrapped around his eyes walking down the corridor below, holding a blind cane.
The young man walked step by step, and Shadow held her breath as she smelled something dangerous, undoubtedly from the new young man.
The young man was naturally Gao Xiaobai, and not long after he took over the task of inspecting the cave, his first stop was to help the three musketeer squads who were still cultivating to garrison this important rocket battalion.
Gao Xiaobai seemed to sense that something was wrong, and he stopped, but the blind cane in his hand was still knocking on the ground.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
Each blow seemed to knock on Shadow's heart.
"Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk......"
The speed of the blind cane continued to increase, and finally with a heavy knocking sound, Gao Xiaobai stopped his movements and looked up, the upper floor was a platform stacked with debris, but he couldn't see anything there.
It's just that he didn't need to investigate, and at the same time as the blind cane and the ground made a final knock, the shadow that was originally hiding behind the debris had decided to abandon the operation and quickly evacuate according to the expected route.
The uncomfortable feeling in Gao Xiaobai's heart disappeared, and he actually only really felt from the echo that someone seemed to be moving only at the moment when the other party fled.
Not daring to be careless, he lifted his blind cane again, knocked on the step and walked forward slowly, he needed to remind the head of the rocket battalion that there was an uninvited guest here.
