Beiyu, 1:00 am, Blue Harbor
Although it was late at night, the lights in Blue Harbor were still on. Lu Mingfei walked on the streets of the scenic area with his hands in his sleeves and looked around. The lights in the cabinets of the business district illuminated the elegant doll models of various shapes. The splendor of crystals and gorgeous costumes filled the empty scenic area, which added a sense of false feeling that fireworks are easy to cool.
It was late now, and there were no more pedestrians and tourists on the road as lively and noisy as in the evening, but the light tube fountains and colorful lights on the trees were still dazzling and beautiful. Lu Mingfei felt a little lonely walking on the street, but it was reassuring to meet patrolling security guards from time to time.
The temperature difference between morning and evening in Beiyu was somewhat obvious. After nightfall, it was as hot as during the day. This city has always been windy, and the temperature has reached a temperature that is easy to catch a cold 13℃.
Fortunately, before Lu Mingfei went out, he ran into Ling in the corridor. The other party mentioned that it was windy outside, so he realized it and wrapped himself in a gray windproof jacket, otherwise he would be frozen and runny when walking on the street in short-sleeved shorts.
After walking around the empty commercial district, Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and looked at the text message records. At 23:11, Lin Nian sent a message that seemed to be garbled. To others, it was probably a wrong key or a bug in the mobile phone text message, but Lu Mingfei knew very well that this thing was the text encryption of the executive department, and it was often used to transmit some information that was not convenient to appear on the Internet.
Lu Mingfei had read the encryption book that was thicker than a dictionary. Norma had written thousands of text encryption methods, and it was basically impossible to memorize them by heart. The information could only be decoded through Norma's remote support. What he got after decoding Lin Nian's encrypted message was A simple address, which is the Blue Harbor where he is currently strolling.
But to be honest, Lu Mingfei thinks that this is purely to guard against gentlemen but not villains. Whether it is the suspected evil forces of "Paco" or the local snake Zhengtong, an encrypted text message is useless. If you can't decipher the encrypted message, can't you track him directly? Lin Nian may not be easy to track, but Lu Mingfei is different. His anti-tracking ability can be described as tragic.
In fact, if Lu Mingfei thinks more deeply, he will understand that Lin Nian's choice to encrypt the meeting place once is not really expected to be hidden from Zhengtong.
It can be said that almost all of their Internet exchanges and travel addresses in Beiyi must be monitored by Zhengtong, which is a tacit understanding. Lin Nian still chose to encrypt the message once, in fact, he just simply conveyed a message to Zhengtong on the surface, He just didn't want his meeting with Lu Mingfei to be monitored - this is indeed what Lu Mingfei believes in "guard against gentlemen but not villains". Whether the orthodox give face or not is their business. Anyway, Lin Nian's attitude has been conveyed first.
Whether Lu Mingfei can really think of this level is not discussed. Anyway, he was a little panicked when he came out alone so far to the deserted scenic spot. When he left the hotel, he was sneaking around. He only ran into Ling in the corridor. I don't know if Ling told anyone about his sneaking out.
After encountering the attack in the subway a few days ago, people like them were actually quite nervous. The suicide attack that killed people in public really represented some things, such as directly conveying the attitude of the people behind the scenes: if the war officially started, they would have no so-called bottom line, and then even if they were suspicious of snakes and trees, they would not be able to prevent those fatal attacks.
Lu Mingfei and his people could actually start to hide and investigate the source of the group of dead men, and find out the plans of the mastermind behind the scenes, but unfortunately, as Lin Nian mentioned countless times, they didn't have time. After arriving in Beiyi, the orthodox reactions and attitudes also proved this point.
Now the clue is on the subway line in Beiyi, and they were indeed attacked on the subway line, which made them have no reason to shrink back. The other party's reaction gave them a feeling that searching the subway was the right direction - of course, it is not ruled out that the other party deliberately induced them at this time. After returning to the hotel that day, several people also discussed it for a night, and finally came to the conclusion that they should not be timid.
In addition, Su Xiaoqiang applied to the Executive Department through Manstein to open an investigation into the missing commissioner of Beiyi. Sure enough, after exerting pressure, Norma really retrieved two commissioners who have not been connected with the headquarters so far. They are a man and a woman, named Wan Boqian and Gao Mi. Their last task before the disconnection was to search for dragons along the subway line of Beiyi.
No one knows why they got the task of entering the Beiyi subway to search for dragons before the hunter website broke the news that the Dragon King woke up in Beiyi, but Wan Boqian's words "Blood Jie Luo" did prove that their purpose was just that and not the so-called cover.
Now that the two people disappeared in the Beiyi subway, it means that the anecdotes Sima Xuxu told them at the dinner table that day are not groundless, so they have continued to search along the subway line in a carpet-style manner these days, preparing to find out the results.
But it was the high frequency of taking the subway and running around that caused Lu Mingfei some minor troubles, which is also a later story - a later story before meeting Lin Nian.
Lu Mingfei almost walked through most of the shopping area. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that he was followed for a distance, but the one who followed him was not the orthodox or the evil forces, but the security comrades of the park. Maybe he looked too much like a thief preparing to buy something for free when he walked with his hands in his sleeves. Otherwise, who would wander around here at night for no reason?
Fortunately, before the security guard was ready to arrest someone, Lu Mingfei had already walked out of the shopping circle and came to the artificial lake of Blue Harbor. Rows of white pointed parasols tied by coffee shops stood by the lake. Spotlights from bottom to top drew light beams on the wall of a building on one side. Bright yellow light strips were also pulled on the stone piers by the lake, providing soft and non-glaring warm yellow light.
It was here that Lu Mingfei finally found Lin Nian. This guy was sitting on a lakeside seat under one of the parasols, wearing a pilot jacket that he didn't know where he got it. The wind by the lake made his hair sway and look a little messy, but he still couldn't hide his eyes from looking at the table from time to time. The hand on the table also tapped the screen a few times every once in a while. It seemed that he was typing a text message or something.
I don't know who this guy is texting with late at night, but it's not to me anyway. Lu Mingfei walked over with his hands in his pockets and a malicious look on his face. When he approached, Lin Nian looked up at him, and then continued to look down at his phone.
"You're not sleeping late at night, you're making fun of me, right?" Lu Mingfei pulled a chair and sat down opposite Lin Nian angrily, then found two cups of Starbucks hot drinks on the table, then quietly touched one cup and smelled it - hot cocoa, damn, how did this guy know that I wanted to drink this stuff.
"You're not the one who can slander others like this, aren't you the one who should talk about serious matters?" Lin Nian turned his phone upside down and put it away, and Lu Mingfei, who was quietly leaning over to see the screen, looked at him in vain.
"You're biting back, didn't I say in the text message that it was nothing serious?" Lu Mingfei complained.
"Huai Min hasn't slept yet?" Lin Nian said, "You're not sleeping late at night and texting me, so I assume you have something urgent. There's no one else here, and there's no bug. Tell me, did you find out that one of my friends or old lovers is actually a dragon or something?"
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "You can blame me if I go there."
Lin Nian smiled, "What's going on?"
Lu Mingfei looked up and down at Lin Nian, his eyes suspicious, "Why do I feel like you knew I wasn't looking for you for business?"
"You have something to do or nothing to do, there are two states, and I assume that the state in the text message is nothing. What urgent matter - referring to the urgent matter in the business, it should be a personal matter, it is not easy to tell Lancelot and Su Xiaoqiang, but I can't hold it in and can only text me to complain. "
Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Nian with a strange look, "Did you get my instruction manual or something?"
"You don't need the instruction manual." Lin Nian took a sip of the matcha-flavored frappuccino, then frowned and looked at the straw. He probably felt that his throat was burning and regretted not buying the matcha flavor. Although he likes sweet, this thing is really a bit mushy in the throat and is not suitable for quickly replenishing calories.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head and lay on the back of the chair, saying nothing, a little embarrassed.
He didn't say anything, and Lin Nian didn't say anything either. He just sat there and enjoyed the lake breeze and looked at the city with lights on behind the park on the other side of the lake in the distance. He has always been quite free. As long as he is not in a hurry, he can sit there for a whole day. No one knows what he is thinking. He is just there in a trance.
Lu Mingfei also looked in the direction where Lin Nian was staring, and saw a strange scene. On the artificial lake, a girl with blonde hair in white was kicking water on the lake. She ignored gravity by stepping on the water and danced with the lights on the lakeside as if she was on a huge stage. She danced casually, without fixed steps, and showed off her beautiful body lines and pure and attractive charm.
"What is that?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Crazy." Lin Nian said, "Don't look if you don't want to be entangled by a madman."
Lu Mingfei felt that having Lu Mingze by his side was enough, so he sighed and turned away.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. He has long known about the existence of the blond girl. Just like Lu Mingze, he tacitly agreed that this was the "devil" who belonged to Lin Nian. It was precisely because the two of them seemed to have the same characteristics. They share the same curse, so they trust and understand each other so much about certain things.
"What have you been doing lately, and you haven't taken the initiative to contact us. We are exhausted from running the subway every day." Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly.
"I can't say it." Lin Nian bit his straw and glanced at Lu Mingfei, "It won't do you any good if I say it."
"How about you make up a reason to deceive us?"
"It's really hard to say." Lin Nian frowned while drinking a Frappuccino, "You can't say it at all. If you say it, there will be problems."
"I'm asking you to make up excuses. If you don't want to tell me, I won't tell you. Do you know what happened on the subway?" Lu Mingfei gave up on finding out. If Lin Nian didn't want to tell you, he really wouldn't tell you anything.
"I know, but I can't help. I'm stuck with other more troublesome things."
"Is it more troublesome than the Dragon King waking up?"
"Absolutely." Lin Nian said, "I suspect there is a connection between the two things. The most important thing is that even if I work with you on the subway, I won't be able to help much."
Lu Mingfei thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Lin Nian could only ride on the subway line with them from time to time when he got off the subway. It seemed to be the same with or without Lin Nian. Now there seems to be other clues on Lin Nian's side. Letting him follow another line may be the most appropriate strategy.
"Are you really serious?" Lin Nian suddenly asked.
Lu Mingfei saw Lin Nian staring at him and noticed something strange in his eyes. He looked away unnaturally and said, "What else can you say? Since you don't say anything and can't say anything, I can go back. It's daytime today I’m exhausted from riding the subway for another day, and my back hurts. I’ll go back later to see if the spa is still open and if I can find a skilled technician to massage it for me.”
"Oh." Lin Nian said.
Lu Mingfei blinked and looked at Lin Nian, who was silent across from him, then slowly stood up and reached for a hot drink.
Lin Nian across from me nodded, "Let's go slowly without seeing you off. When you want to talk about relationships again, come see me again. Remember to make an appointment. It's very tiring to be a psychiatrist while I'm saving the world."
Lu Mingfei almost failed, and looked up in shame and anger at Lin Nian, who was obviously playing tricks on him. Then from the corner of his eye, he noticed the blond girl lying on the lake in the distance, beating the surface of the lake like crazy. It looked like she was laughing like crazy. , I don’t know how she heard the sound here from so far away.
