CHAPTER XXXI

Gu Silen's research work continues. In the office, Ipolova's beautiful shadow is indispensable. In short, Ipolova used various excuses to keep approaching Guslen. This made Gu Silen bored. His wedding to Natasha is about to take place. It will still be prioritized. A woman who loves herself and a woman who wants to take advantage of herself. There is an essential difference. Gu Silen, under various pretexts, stayed away from Ipolova. Epzora. I don't care about that. She still uses excuses and opportunities. Close to Guslen. and tempted him to spend the night at her house. This is, of course, just wishful thinking on the part of Epolova. Nor was it Ipolova's purpose. A week passed. Ipolova said to Guslen: "I need to meet you alone. My organization asks me to make a claim to you. If you don't want Natasha to know about the relationship between the two of us, then we'll make an appointment tomorrow. Let's talk about it. Things we have to face. Gu Silen had already confessed to Natasha. What was done to Ipolova. Natasha didn't care. But this is not to be said to Ipózhova. So Gu Silen nodded and said, "I have time tomorrow." We can find a place to eat and talk while eating. "There is a restaurant in St. Petersburg where the food is very tasty. It is a great place for couples to go on a date. I'll book you a table first. Tomorrow we will go together. After saying that, Ipolova walked to Gu Silen's side. left a fragrant kiss on Gu Sileng's forehead.

The next morning. The weather was sunny and there was no snow. But the north wind was still blowing. The pavement on the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice. It looks extra slippery. Gu Silen drove a car. Be careful on the road. I drove to St. Petersburg University with great difficulty and parked my car. Walk cautiously on the pavement. Walked for almost 30 minutes. I came to the office of the Department of Astronomy. In the office. Ipolova had been waiting for him for a long time. Ipolova painted with a light layer of makeup. Choose elegance and taste. Long blonde hair draped over his shoulders. Big eyes full of charm. flickered and looked at Gu Sileng. It has to be said that Ipolova is a big Russian beauty. But he had bad intentions towards Gu Sileng. This made Gu Silen also lose interest. She walked over and filled a cup of coffee with Gu Silen. It was handed to Gu Sileng's hand. Speaking of you, it's so early. Gu Sileng said to him with a smile. You're here before I do. Ipolova smiled and said, "I've already booked my seat. In the afternoon we had a meal together. Gu Silen shrugged. "It seems that I have no other choice. "Finish the coffee in your hand. Gu Silen came to Yurygin's office. Yurygin happily said to Guslen: "Chairman Morakot has written back to us. Dozens of them around the world. Top astronomers. Answers to the information you detected. There doesn't seem to be a good answer. But to be sure, that message is exactly that. I think it's going to be a comet tail. It should be, prophet, that a comet will reach our Earth. As for the Gate of the Gods, I don't know very well. Gu Silen continued: "The alternation of streamers and time mentioned in that sentence. It's also very important. Survival and destruction are also important messages. But we don't know what he's going to tell us yet. Then we can only wait for the tail of the comet. Like you said. It may be a comet that is about to reach Earth. ”

The afternoon wasn't long at all. Gu Silen was by the window. I saw long ice cubes hanging from the branches of the trees downstairs. It looks good for 10 points. In the steppes of Inner Mongolia will also make it cold. But there are not many worlds of Bingqiong and broken jade, and you can see it. On the savannah is just a vast snowfall. Gu Silen. Stand by the window and watch. Everything outside the building. It's gray and cute. It looks like it's going to snow again soon. There's not much work at hand. He, then remembered Natasha. A call was made to Natasha. A crisp amount of energy. On the other end of the phone, it rings: "Is there anything looking for me?" It's not time to leave work yet. Gusler said: "You also know that my colleague Ipolova asked me about something. She made a reservation at a restaurant. I probably won't be able to go home for dinner tonight. "Natasha is on that end. There was silence for a while. Then he said, "I know she has bad intentions for you." It's not a work thing, either. I believe you. I don't care how you talk to her. Remember to come home early in the evening. Don't stay up late like last time. Gu Silen said on the phone: "Got it." I will definitely go home in the evening. As the phone hung up, Gu Sileng's mood was much better. Not an hour has passed. It's time to get off work. Ipolova put on her puffer jacket and came to Guslen's side. He said, "Gu Sileng, let's go to the restaurant to eat together." I have a few more things to ask you. Gu Sileng said with a serious expression: "I'm waiting for you." Let's drive and go. ”

The two walked on the campus of St. Petersburg University. There are a few on the way. Men. Hand in hand. I am also walking cautiously on slippery roads. It seems that these are small couples. And the relationship between Guslen and Epolova is somewhat awkward. Both of them are looking for their own things. Walk carefully on the road. After a while, he came to the side of the car. Gu Silen opened the car door. As soon as she got into the cab, Ipolova got into the co-pilot. The car started slowly. Then drive faster and faster. Quickly left the gates of St. Petersburg University. There is a lot of traffic in the city. Gu Silen's car weaves through the traffic. He didn't choose to drive autonomously. Manual driving has always been her own hobby. Drive in the direction of the location. The restaurant that Ipolova booked. It's St. Petersburg. The best restaurant. Chinese cuisine is served here. Japanese cuisine. and Russian cuisine. The chef's craft. Quite excellent. When it's time to eat, it's always overcrowded, and Gu Silen parks his car. The two got out of the car. Walked into this restaurant. The restaurant is quite big. It's 4 stories high. The hall on the first and second floors. and private rooms on the third and fourth floors. Ipolova chose a private room. The two walked to the private room. Inside there is a crystal chandelier. A round Western-style dining table. The temperature in the room is warm. A wave of lova took off her coat. Sit in a private room. Through the bracelet. Ordered the dishes. The dishes I ordered were all Gu Sileng, my favorite Chinese dishes. Inner Mongolia's hand-handled meat. Pot-wrapped meat in the Northeast. Sweet and sour carp in Hangzhou. There is also chicken stew with mushrooms in the Northeast. In this faraway St. Petersburg, you can still order such pure Chinese cuisine. It's very rare. While the chef was still cooking, Ipolova came to Gu Silen's side. His arms wrapped around Gu Silen's shoulders. Said affectionately: "Don't you want my body? We haven't communicated with you physically, for more than ten days. Gu Si was stunned and said, "I'm still comparing." Interested in listening to your topic. ”

Just when Gu Silen was prevaricating, one or two dishes had already been prepared. The waiter brought the food up. For a moment, the table was filled with aromas. Gu Silen, looking at Ipolova. He said, "If you have anything to say, tell me right here." I'm going home after dinner. "Ipolova. Straight looks. "You also know that I am an employee of the Russian intelligence agencies. I'm here to talk. Represents the intelligence agencies of Russia. I know you've explored the ruins of aliens. This top-secret archive. Obtained by our intelligence agencies. But in the actual details. We don't know. In the report, it was said that the other soldiers were mentally ill. As long as you're intact. And the report implies that you have met the prophet. That's right, the prophet of aliens. We need detailed details. Gu Sileng smiled: "What should come will come after all." I knew you were going to ask me these questions. Just report to you what it says. Everything I know is in the report. Now that you're able to turn it into intelligence, you should know that I'm telling the truth. Iporova said: "I know, you are telling the truth. It is also reflected in our report. But remember. Your people are in St. Petersburg. You are now in Russia. I need your full cooperation with me. Tell me. Something about the prophet. And you, as you know. What kind of mysterious metal is it? Gu Silen continued: "What you mean by saying these things to me is that you do not know. Detailed details. How can I be sure that what I say to you is true? This is inherently a paradox. Even if I tell you the truth, you won't believe it. ”

Ipolova shook the bracelet on her hand. Said: "Your conversation with me today. will pass through this bracelet. Arrived at the intelligence analysis department of Russia. You should believe that technology is so advanced today. Naturally, there is a way to screen your words. Is it true, or is it? Lie. I am here to solemnly remind you of your answer here. It's not just about your own research, it's about your wife, Natasha. Just like you know. Natasha was also a colonel in the Russian army. These moves of yours. will directly affect his future. Not to mention that your father-in-law, Bleski, was, a professor at the University of St. Petersburg. All of these people. It will all be due to your attitude of cooperation with us. and be implicated. "Epolova's warning. The atmosphere in which the two talked. Somewhat apathetic. Gu Silen stood up. Walked to the window. Look down through the window. The streets of St. Petersburg are crowded with people, and the weather is still very cold. The men were wrapped in coats. Those who march hard in the howling north wind. Gu Silen thought about it for himself. My family background is quite good. Especially after Timur discovered the tomb of Genghis Khan, he obtained funds that he could not use up for 5 lifetimes. It is completely worry-free about food and clothing, and now it is the Eastern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. of a colonel officer. A Ph.D. student at Peking University. Such a life should be fulfilling. Not at all worried. The oppression that life inflicts on oneself. His thoughts drifted slowly into the distance. Drifted there. The scene of the war-torn war against Japan. Many soldiers of their own company. All gave their lives for the country. Compared to these brothers who have passed away, he is undoubtedly happy. So why go to other countries. What about revealing the secrets of your own country? He is a member of the Communist Party. Once when he took the oath to join the party, he faced the party flag. Speaking of keeping the country's secrets. Why can't you do it yourself?

Ipolova had been sitting at the table. Silently looked at Gu Sileng. Knowing his words, he was impressed. She stood up. Silently walked to Gu Sileng's side. Wrap your arms around Gu Silen's waist. whispered, "Why don't you promise me?" We can keep a lover relationship. My people are yours for as long as you want. You can conduct your research in Russia. It is also possible to join the Russian army. Maybe you can become a major general in the future. After all, you have already married a Russian woman. You can also be a citizen of Russia. You also know that China and Russia are friendly countries. Our two countries live together under the repression of the West. This is not a betrayal of your homeland. Gu Silen stood silently. Look out the window. Not a word was spoken. There was silence for a long time. Gu Silen said: "Whatever you want to know, I will tell you." Ipolova smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the prophet." What kind of story did the prophet tell you. Gu Silen, after thinking for a while, said, "That's a story in the Bible. Talking about Noah's Ark. and monstrous floods. Ipolova smiled and said, "Details, I want to know details." Gu Silen said calmly: "It is the story of Noah in the Bible." It is described in detail in any Bible. It's the story of Noah's Ark and the rescue, of all animals. "Ipolova. Said calmly: "Is this such a story?" Don't lie to me. Gu Sileng calmly replied: "Yes, it is such a story. You can decipher it through your intelligence agencies. It is also possible to invite the most famous experts from Russia. to this story. Explain. Anyway, I'm interested in this story. is incomprehensible. Why would an alien prophet tell me such a story? And it's a well-known story. "Ipolova. The choice was somewhat unhappy. But there is nothing that can be done about it. Just like Gu Silen said. They didn't know what kind of story the prophet told him. Now there's a story. But it aroused suspicion. There was nothing he could do about it. After eating some food, Gu Silen took his leave

Gu Silen drove all the way. Overtook all the vehicles around me. His mood. It's very heavy. Knowing such a lie does not deceive for long. Look at the horizon. Rolling clouds. Gu Silen decided not to think about these things anymore. He drove quickly to Natasha's house, which took nearly an hour. The car finally arrived at Natasha's apartment. By this time it was already dark. The street lights on the side of the street are also on. Gu Silen. Walk inside the house. Saw it, waiting for Natasha. Gu Silen smiled and said to Natasha, "I've already eaten it." Have you eaten yet? Natasha said, "My mom and dad and I have eaten. Just waiting for you to come home. He walked over with that. gave Gu Silen a big hug. I saw Gu Sileng's somewhat tired appearance. Natasha and Gu Silen walked to their bedroom. Guslen said: "Ipolova. Some questions were raised for me. I don't want to answer. But she threatens your father with you. I don't want to answer that question. So a lie was taught. Natasha said, "As long as you come back." As for what you say to Ipolova, we have days ahead. You can talk to her slowly. After all, I am also a colonel in the Russian army. My father was also a professor. We are citizens of Russia. The intelligence agencies should not do too much to us. You can do your own research. Wait until there are academic results. You're going back to China. I'll come to you then. Gu Silen, looking at Natasha in front of her, was very moved. He took Natasha into his arms. He said, "Let's get married right away." I kind of can't wait. I would like to invite. Brother Yu Ziyue. Brother Yu Zhufeng. and my roommates. We had our wedding in Russia. When it's time for a honeymoon trip. Just in Russia. I really want to show you. The most beautiful scenery in the world. Do the most romantic thing in the world. We could go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights. Go and climb Mount Everest. Go to Peru to see the ruins of the Maya. These are all things we can do. Natasha said emotionally: "I'll accompany you." I'll be with you wherever you want. ”
