Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Ji Yao thought this scene was familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing it there.It's like passing by a store and accidentally seeing a movie playing in it, but just can't remember what the movie is about.Ji Yao didn't know if she was asleep or awake, or if she was in a dream.
The figure stood under the tree all the time, the moonlight shone on him, his face was slightly blurred, covered like a layer of fog, and he couldn't see the flowers clearly through the fog.Ji Yao suddenly remembered his dream when he was young. In his dream, he returned to Daxingan Mountains. In September, yellow sheep and October wolves, and pheasants could peck away the almonds all over the mountain. There was also the back of a man with a shotgun. He always walked away. In front of yourself, but never look back.
It turns out that I still miss my hometown in my heart, because what I think in my heart will always be expressed in my dreams.Ji Yao thought that he had abandoned the past 17 years, and his father only existed in the years before he was 17 years old, quietly, like a long and thin shadow.
Father has very few photos, and he doesn't take pictures very often.All Ji Yao can think of is what he looked like ten years ago, but time will always wash away his memory, busy and dangerous work has occupied his whole life, and his father's face has long since faded like mist.
Stepping on the thick and soft dead leaves, there was no sound. The gentle slope was covered with fluffy grass, and the white wild flowers were covered with the night dew.Ji Yao walked across the stream towards the figure, with a gun in his hand and a dagger tied to his thigh.
Two clusters of flames hang high in the air on the moon, neither far nor near, so close to each other that its exact height cannot be calculated.The black cloud seemed to have a solid body, but it dispersed in a flash, and a drop of ink dripped into the clear water, which was also in the same form.
The light was still bright and the tops of the conifers were reflected as the huge moon fell heavily on the mountainside.Ji Yao heard the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, he was familiar with this sound.The sound of the wind was very slow, the trees were shaking very slowly, and the tide was suddenly elongated, in a trance.
At Ji Yao's feet was the sealed well. The mouth of the well was covered with a steel plate, and the edge was covered with a circle of cowhide. There was a faint damp smell in the air.The humidity of the air suddenly increased, and I felt that I had inhaled water full of lungs after taking a breath, and my clothes were soaked in water vapor in no time.
Time slows down, almost in an instant.Ji Yao suddenly heard voices and footsteps coming from behind, the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.It's like another army has arrived here, camped, lit a fire, cooked, talked and laughed freely.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, many transparent figures appeared, running back and forth, standing or standing, Ji Yao could even hear the sound of them calling for cocoa powder to be poured into the boiler.Standing where he was, he saw himself surrounded by a crowd, with the Milky Way stretching overhead.
Can't tell the truth from the truth for a while.A strong gust of wind suddenly passed through the forest, and the time returned to normal. The shadow in front of me disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.The woods were crying in the wind, Ye Ying moved away, revealing the face of the man under the tree.
Ji Yao finally saw that face clearly, and at that moment he felt his throat being grabbed by sharp claws.The flames on the moon suddenly exploded into bigger fireballs, the black cloud expanded and exploded, and then something rushed into the sky, making a deafening roar.
The shoulder was suddenly held down, and a hand appeared next to the ear. Ji Yao stepped sideways and raised the gun to aim back. The muzzle of the gun hit Fu Zhong's throat.Ji Yao gritted her back teeth, panting in shock, her eyes were red, and she looked exhausted.
"Chief..." Fu Zhong raised his hands, lowered his eyelashes and glanced at the gun on his Adam's apple, "It's me. Please calm down, please calm down."
Ji Yao didn't put down his gun, he stared at Fu Zhong for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look behind him.The figure under the tree disappeared, the forest behind him was empty, and the black mist and raging fire also disappeared.An eagle just flew over the moon, its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky.Finally, it landed on a giant tree on the top of the east mountain, looking back at the moon on the other side, the black shadow stood upright on the treetop for a long time.
It all looks normal.Only then did Ji Yao's heartbeat slow down. He took a few breaths, looked at Fu Zhong's glasses, and suddenly said, "Stretch out your hand."
"?" Fu Zhong didn't understand, stretched out his hand and spread his palms, "What are you doing?"
Ji Yao held the gun against Fu Zhong in one hand, hesitated for a while with the other hand free, raised his eyelids to see Fu Zhong's expression, and punched him violently in the palm of his hand.Fu Zhong's palms and backs were in pain from his sudden blow, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Then Ji Yao silently put the gun back, held it in his hand, took Fu Zhong's hand and gave him a blow, lowered his eyelashes and said: "Really, it doesn't seem to be a dream. I'm sorry, I just beat him up." you."
Fu Zhong watched him touch his palm, so a faint smile appeared on his brows, and the pain from being beaten just now disappeared.Seeing Ji Yao's pale face and red eyes, he asked softly, "What are you doing here? You almost got out of the quarantine area. I kept calling you just now, but you didn't agree. What's the matter?"
Xinghe's voice suddenly came into the earphones: "Attention, you are close to the edge of the isolation barrier, please step back. Attention, you are close to the edge of the isolation barrier, please step back."
Ji Yao tapped his forehead, he felt a headache, dizzy, like sleeping and waking up.Fu Zhong pulled him away and looked at the camp, which was completely silent.Holding the gun, Ji Yao said, "I fell asleep just now, and vaguely heard footsteps, and then I saw someone under this tree, so I came to have a look."
"Where is he?" Fu Zhong suddenly became vigilant, and glanced around the forest. It was dark, and the moonlight was very dim in the forest. "I was awake just now, and I didn't find anything unusual. There was no movement in Xinghe either."
"No, I think I should be dreaming, or hallucinations, hallucinations." Ji Yao said, covering his sore eyes, feeling like tears were about to flow, "I can't tell whether it's reality or a dream, just like Someone was pulling me away, driving me crazy."
Seeing that he was not in a normal mood, Fu Zhong hugged his shoulders and said something gently.Fu Zhong patted Ji Yao's back, helped him wipe off the dew on his back, and asked, "What did you see in your dream? Is it a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I saw the dragon king, a huge burning flame, it was its eyes, I can't admit it. Then I had hallucinations, and saw many phantoms, like an army camped here, I can see To their scene at the time. Very real."
"You just said that there is a person under this tree. Have you seen his appearance clearly? This is very important."
"I see clearly, because what I see is myself."
As he spoke, he turned his head and saw the well next to him, only to find that the mouth of the well, which had been tightly sealed, was now open with a black hole, and both the steel plate and the live cowhide had disappeared!There is water in the well, still water, and the surface of the water is like a mirror.
The outline of the moon was just reflected on the water. When Ji Yao lowered his head, he saw his own reflection in the water. It was very bright, it should be moonlight.
Was what he saw in his dream his own reflection in the well?
"Where's the manhole cover?" Ji Yao asked, he stepped back half a step, pointed his gun at the mouth of the well, and glanced at Fu Zhong, "Who opened it?"
"I told them not to open the well. During the last inspection, the well was still sealed. No one would be bored to pry such a useless steel plate."
"There is a problem here. When was the manhole cover opened? Who opened it? What does he want to do? Who is it? What's going on?" Ji Yao's voice became irritable, and his already tense nerves This time it made his heart and lungs ache even more.
Fu Zhong hurriedly hugged him, stroked his cheeks and neck with his hands, and softly comforted his emotions in his ear.At that time, Fu Zhong suddenly thought that with the progress of the retrospective plan, Ji Yao's bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and phobia became more and more serious day by day.
"It was detected that your mental condition is abnormal, and you need treatment." Xinghe said in the headset, his avatar was floating in mid-air, with a handsome face, but no expression.
"Shut up." Fu Zhong warned, helped Ji Yao leave the well, crossed a stream and walked back to the resting place.He let Ji Yao lean on the cushion, quickly took out the medicine bottle from his backpack, and poured it for him with the warm water in the pot.
Ji Yao is prone to shortness of breath and out of breath when he gets sick, sometimes excited and sometimes depressed, he is unbearably disturbed.Fu Zhong hugged him, becoming more quiet, surrounded by loneliness, waiting for Ji Yao to calm down slowly.
He has always been like this, even if Ji Yao was half-crazed and half-awake when he got sick, he would often scratch him with scars, and Fu Zhong never left him for half a step.In Fu Xin's heart, Ji Yao's life is difficult and he needs someone to take care of him. It's such a simple reason, and he always sticks to it.
"Mr. Ji." Suddenly a figure hurried over, unloaded the box and knelt on the ground, and took out the syringe from it.
Fu Zhong thought it was Zhu Min, but when he saw the man's golden hair under the moonlight, he suddenly realized that it was Linnai Dawn.
"Who told you to come?"
"I rushed over immediately after receiving the notification from Xinghe's system. Mr. Ji's condition is not very good. I injected him with a tranquilizer. Why hasn't he rested so late? Is he cultivating immortals?"
"..."
Fu Zhong was speechless, he watched Dawn skillfully inject the medicine, and then laboriously checked him.After Ji Yao calmed down, he leaned in Fu Zhong's arms, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his chest kept rising and falling.He closed his eyes and said thank you to Dawn.
After Dawn finished the inspection and gave some instructions, he sat down next to him, and it seemed that he was going to sleep here.Fu Zhong said: "Doctor Dawn, you can go back and rest, you have to continue your journey tomorrow."
"No, the commander's condition is not very good, I have to stay and guard." Dawn looked at Fu Zhong and said, his eyes were bright, and he dodged from time to time.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Ji Yao hooked Fu Zhong's fingers, slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm completely healed, Fu Zhong will take care of me, don't worry. Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Dawn, you can go back and rest. "
Dawn froze.At this moment, Zhu Min's voice suddenly sounded, and Dawn felt someone grab his back by the collar: "Let's go, rest if you are told, you have no winks."
Zhu Min took Dawn away, and the voice was silent.
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Fu Zhong said close to Ji Yao's ear, "I'm thinking, if there is a medical machine that can treat all human diseases. You lie down, the machine scans it, and it's done. It's done."
Ji Yao smiled slightly and replied softly: "There will be a day when you believe in technology and human mind. War, hunger, poverty, and disease will slowly disappear in the future. The law will become more and more Perfection, justice is served, and evil is punished as it should be. Men and women, old people and children, people of different races, gays and straights, all are equal. No mocking, no prejudice, no discrimination, no conspiracy, and no Unnecessary grief."
Fu Zhong covered himself in moonlight, listened to Ji Yao's words, and then said: "Human beings have created countless brilliant civilizations, and we will surely start a greater future era. Civilization will never stop. Noble people should respect There is hope for the future of humanity."
The Milky Way glows overhead, and it still looks the same after billions of years.Some stars have disappeared, but the light has just reached the earth, so what people see is only its afterimage.
The surroundings are quiet, even the galaxy is quiet, and it doesn't know what logic program is going on in its quantum host.
The clothes on Ji Yao's body were soaked in dew, icy against the skin, and the cold air went straight to the bones.The boots were as heavy as if filled with ice, and he could hardly lift his feet. His hair and gun were full of moisture, as if he had just come out of the water.
Fu Zhong also noticed this abnormality, he looked at himself, it was very dry.Fu Zhong wiped the water droplets from Ji Yao's hair, and asked with a frown, "Why are you so wet? The same is true on the gun. Xinghe, air humidity data."
"The humidity inside the isolation barrier is 65.35%, and the humidity outside the isolation barrier is 98.12%. Heavy fog, red warning, visibility is less than 50 meters, and the estimated time to dissipate is two hours. No potential offensive objects have been found yet. The isolation barrier is normal."
Xinghe transmitted the external image to the display screen, Fu Zhong glanced at it, and the white fog filled the distance.He looked up to see the moon hanging above his head, and found that the moon was also shrouded in a layer of mist.
Ji Yao looked at the boundless thick fog on the screen and said: "It's not a dream, it has come, it has indeed come. Do you remember? It only appears at night, and when it appears, it must be accompanied by time changes. The air humidity has increased abnormally, such as rain and fog."
Fu Zhong nodded, and he checked whether his gun could be fired normally: "I remember. But you didn't walk out of the isolation barrier, but you could see it, and your body was still so wet, so I speculate that Xinghe's isolation system has no effect on it. invalid."
"Galaxy's system is developed against all forms of attack that today's technology can achieve, leading the world." Ji Yao said, "Is there anything that can make Galaxy completely ineffective against it? I can't think of it. At least in the world we live in." There is no world."
Xinghe's electronic male voice suddenly came into the earphones. Its voice was set by the chief researcher to match his own youthful voice. The tone was faltering and the voice was pleasant: "It's also possible that it doesn't exist in our world."
Ji Yao paused, brushed her hair, and smiled wearily: "You are very good at eavesdropping, Xinghe."
"Xinghe can think. You turned on the logic system for me. In addition, the commander forgot to turn off the headset."
Ji Yao crossed his arms, raised his head and stared at the avatar on the screen for a long time, then raised the corner of his mouth and said: "It seems that the logic system is very complete, the researcher who developed you must have spent a lot of time on it. You said nothing Wrong, that thing is not in the same world as us."
"Chief, let's rest first. The sun will rise in a while, and we have to go on the road again. We are very tired." Fu Zhong said, "Xinghe, please shut up. Commander is tired and needs to rest."
"Okay, good night to both of you."
The voice of Xinghe gradually faded out, and the surrounding fields were vast, and no sound could be heard anymore.Ji Yao held the gun and leaned on Fu Zhong's shoulder, staring into the distance.On a higher mountain peak farther away, the giant eagle is still standing on a tall tree, leaving only a black shadow.
Fu Zhong pointed at the eagle, then took off the epaulets from his shoulders, lifted them up, and leaned against the giant tree: "I noticed the giant eagle tree from the very beginning. Look, the eagle spread its wings and flew up. Same as the emblem of the Executive Department."
After being silent for a while, looking at the silver edge of the badge inlaid by the moonlight, he said: "The executive department used black and white wings before, but later replaced it with a giant eagle tree. Why do we need to change to a new one? And why it happens to be a male Where is the giant eagle tree?"
"The time to change the badge is after your father's accident. We have to think about what is tricky here. After following you for so long, I suddenly realized that the time bureau is not clean."
Ji Yao didn't speak any more, and when Fu Zhong looked back at him, he had already fallen asleep next to her.He is really tired.
Russian Federation, Lake Baikal Base.
After the ground cracked, several snowfalls fell and were quickly swept away.The mountains stretched all the way to the lake, the red shirts and cedars were still half buried by the heavy snow, and the lake couldn't see the glare. A group of sled dogs were pulling the farmer's sled across the ice at high speed.
"It is expected that on the 20th, affected by the cold air in the Arctic Ocean, the temperature will drop to -38 degrees, accompanied by a snowstorm. According to the forecast of the Meteorological Observatory, the temperature will warm up in mid-April, and the snow will decrease..."
Screens on the wall showed the weather, and the roar of the planes drowned out the announcer.A black shadow descended from the air above the airport, and the lights below were brightly lit, like the eyes of some nocturnal animal, and then went out after a while.
After the cabin door was opened and the gangway was lowered, the secretary came down first. Fortunately, the temperature in the underground base was controlled at the optimum temperature for her body. Otherwise, she would have been frozen by the wind with the suit on the secretary.
Bai Zhu walked out of the hatch with his coat wrapped around him. After getting off the ladder, he happened to run into Constantine who came in from the lift platform. They shook hands, and Constantine called Bai Zhu "Mrs. Bai".Sandie was standing behind Bai Zhu with a suitcase in his hand. He had already changed his body. Constantine looked at him for a while but didn't recognize him.
"This is my disciple." Bai Zhu said, she spoke Russian, and took a few words lightly, "I have been with me for a while, and this time I will take him out for a trip."
Constantine smiled and shook hands with Sandie, then led Bai Zhu down the airport staircase.Sandai followed behind silently, with his arms folded and a gun in his pocket.Constantine and Bai Zhu were talking, and Sandie heard them talking about the transportation of arms.
"I heard that pirates have been rampant in the Sea of Okhotsk recently, and the Kamchatka Peninsula is not peaceful, and my goods have lost a lot. Mr. Constantine, this is not going to work." Bai Zhu said, with a leather bag in her left hand and a wrap around her neck. Wearing silver fox fur.
"It's not only Madam, but even my goods have been lost for no reason." Constantine said, he has a wide suit and neat shoes. "'Tuna' has always been against us, and recently they have started to play tricks again."
Bai Zhu's lip line has not been loosened since he got off the plane: "That arrogant pirate leader 'Tuna'? He thinks he is God's whip? You have to find a way to get rid of them, it's time to do it .”
The lights came on suddenly, and they walked into a golden corridor, with moiré stone bricks under their feet, and the walls on both sides were still in the style of Catherine's era."This time it's up to the government," Constantine said.
"Are you joking? It's impossible." Bai Zhu denied Constantine's thoughts, "I can't hand this matter over to the government, and doing so would expose us. We have to do it ourselves. "
Sandie didn't speak, he rubbed the handle of the gun with his thumb in his pocket, with a peaceful expression.After turning around the golden corridor, I came to a small hall, which was warmly heated, and there were people at the table—Lin Yifeng was leaning against the potted flowers, and a man was standing by the window on the phone.
Constantine looked back at Bai Zhu after entering the door, took a bottle of wine from the desk, and poured it into a glass: "Do you want to fight directly by yourself? Ma'am, you are indeed very courageous. But fighting a war is not a small matter, really. It's not a small thing."
"I would also like to resolve it peacefully, but it is impossible for me to leave this to the government. I don't trust the government, I didn't believe it a long time ago. You are young, you don't know."
"One moment is not the other. Ma'am, I don't know what you've been through, but I think peace is at least better than war. It's better for everyone."
Constantine handed the wine glass to Bai Zhu, turned around and greeted the two people in the room: "The banquet has begun."
Two guards stopped Bai Zhu and Sandie outside, and searched for the weapons on their bodies.They carried away three stacks of boxes, and found the gun under the three stacks of clothes.
The gun was sent away on a silver plate, and Constantine said with a smile: "It seems that Madam taught well, and let the disciples carry guns with them for self-defense."
Bai Zhu smiled without saying a word, looked at the man standing by the window, and said with a smile, "Hello, Tang Lin. Should I call you the Patriarch of the Tang Family? Or Vice Minister Tang?"
When Sandie heard Tang Lin's name, suddenly a surge of hot blood surged upwards, welling up in his heart, almost bursting out.He reflexively went to draw his gun in his pocket, and suddenly realized that his pocket was empty.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Sandie because of this tiny movement, and everyone except Tang Lin smiled.Bai Zhu felt Sandiao's mood swings, she turned around calmly with a smile on her face, motioned for Sandiao to sit down, and pressed her hand firmly on Sandiao's arm.
"Madam, will your disciple also participate in our conversation?" Tang Lin walked from the window to the table, put down his wine glass, and stared into Sandie's eyes, "He doesn't seem to like us very much."
"He is already a disciple of the Bai family, so everyone is a family. This conversation will be a good experience for him, why not?" Bai Zhu sat down, "There is still a family What's wrong with talking?"
Tang Lin suddenly laughed, sat down while pressing the buttons of his suit, and said, "From Madam's tone, you really want to support this young man to be the next head of the family, right? If I'm right, it should be the Ji family." Patriarch? Ma'am, is it true that the Ji family has no successors? Just find someone who is not popular and fill in the blanks? Not only do you want to control the Bai family, but you also want to occupy the Ji family?"
Sandie showed no expression, because the things Tang Lin said had nothing to do with him, he was neither a disciple nor a patriarch.He knew that Tang Lin said this to test Bai Zhu, and the wife of the Bai family was still calm in the face of such a sharp question.
"Did I say that I wanted to support him as the head of the family? No. What I say is what I say, and what I don't say is what I don't. There is no one on the road who doesn't know my rules. The Tang family is always a dog, it shouldn't be like this No rules."
Swords were tense on the table, and Lin Yifeng read his book with his legs crossed, like an outsider.Konstantin smoothed things out with a smile, and greeted Lin Yifeng: "Yingying, the wine is already poured, don't always get into the book."
Eagle is Lin Yifeng's nickname. He finally raised his head from the pages of the book, closed the book and put it aside, and replied, "So the wine has been poured? Then let's start."
The book happened to be placed on a chair next to the third stack, and the third stack looked down to see the cover of the book, it was "I Have to Kill".
The secretary stood waiting outside the hall, a lock of hair hanging from her ear, hanging gently and delicately on her slender neck.The secretary tapped his nails, walked to the guard at the door, leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to the bathroom. If Mr. Constantine asks, remember to do me a favor."
The guard was dazed by the smell of perfume on the secretary's body, and he agreed in a daze.The secretary smiled softly, stepped on her high heels and left the hall door. Although she walked very fast, her waist was slim.
After entering the bathroom, the secretary locked the door, leaned against the door panel of the compartment, took off the brooch and unfolded it, which was a transceiver.She quickly typed a line, attached a photo taken with a brooch, encrypted it, pressed the OK button, and sent it to a person named "Dunyasha".
"Meet the Northeast gangster, Ms. Bai Zhu. The transaction involves smuggling arms and drugs. We are discussing the plan to combat the 'Tuna' pirates in the Sea of Okhotsk."
