Chapter 1458: Mua Lost the File Again?
At 6:00 am, Chicago time, Lin Nian arrived at the building of the Executive Department. Walking into the door, the corridor was still full of coffee-drinking brothers walking back and forth, with panda eyes and a look of being ready to die at any time.
Everyone running back and forth was either holding an iced Americano or a Red Bull in their hands. These things were their lifeblood. Even though caffeine had little effect on these mixed-bloods, spiritual comfort was more effective than anything else.
Some people joked that if they wanted to stop the turnover of the Executive Department, they didn't need to cut off the Internet, power outages, or espionage sabotage. They only needed to secretly break their coffee machines and take away their canned Red Bull to make all the specialists collapse.
"Morning."
"Morning, Brother Nian."
"So early? What wind brought ACE here again?"
Lin Nian walked from the outside of the Executive Department to the lobby and along the corridor. Every brother of the Executive Department he met greeted him.
From the time he first arrived at Kassel College to now when he is doing well, apart from those brilliant achievements that are eye-catching, Lin Nian's interpersonal relationships in the Executive Department can only be described as unprecedented.
"Brother Lin? Aren't you on vacation? Why are you in the Executive Department?" The brother who is in charge of logistics resources in a cubicle office poked his head out and asked curiously at Lin Nian who was passing by.
Although he graduated earlier than Lin Nian, the seniority and seniority in the Executive Department have never been arranged according to the order of graduation, but according to the number of missions and experience.
There is no doubt that although most people in the entire Executive Department graduated earlier than Lin Nian, judging from their resumes alone, many people have to call Lin Nian a senior brother and a senior.
"The director is looking for something, but I don't know what it is yet." Lin Nian always feels much more relaxed when he sees these brothers in the Executive Department. The place where he is most familiar with in Kassel College is not the student circle, nor the so-called support group, but the Executive Department.
There are not so many twists and turns here. Everyone is a brother who may go through life and death together at any time, and the friendship between each other is a solid comradeship.
"Brother Nian, is there another mission? Where are you flying to save the world this time? Take me with you." A Japanese buddy next to the coffee machine handed a cup of coffee to Lin Nian who was passing by.
"Just forget it, won't it be a drag if I take you with me? Going down the Nibelungen, killing the samurai, fucking the Dragon King, which one are you good at? I'm afraid you are best at bragging about how familiar you are with the red light street in your hometown and how strong your relationship is, right? How long have you not been on the field?"
The Latino girl who stayed up late to summarize and organize the data stretched her waist and stretched her graceful figure that had not been out of the gym all day to tease her colleague.
"What can I do if there are no tasks assigned to me? I also want to run field work, and I am also desperate! Staying in school every day will make my body rusty. Although the junior girls are very cute, it seems that we, the seniors, are not very righteous to hook up with junior boys' girls? And if I really want to date a junior girl, I have to worry about them being seduced by the boys of the same grade when I go on a mission. The pressure is huge! The feeling of being in a peach forest without being able to take action is really torture. It's better to throw me to run field work all year round."
The Japanese brother wore a floral shirt with a stand-up collar in the middle of winter, and there were colorful patterns of Yasha and wolf tattooed on his chest. I think he was a good man who could fight and kill when he was outside, but now he has to guard the coffee machine in the execution department with a painful face.
Just as he said, it's not that the brothers who stayed here are afraid of fighting or not strong enough, but there are really no suitable tasks assigned to them.
If students who graduate from Kassel College join the execution department, they will basically be assigned to internships in branches in various regions in their senior year.
After receiving the internship report, students will be assigned to the most suitable region for long-term work according to their performance during the internship. Of course, students can also apply for the jurisdiction they want to go to based on excellent internship reports.
For example, Fingel has mentioned his dream of going to the Cuban branch more than once, but the internship report required to work there must be excellent.
After all, the more remote the place, the more chaotic the situation is in general, and the ability to deal with emergencies needs to be at least rated ‘A’ or above by Norma.
In addition to the specialists assigned to various regions, the Kassel Academy, which is generally the headquarters, also has to regularly retain a group of specialists as reserve forces. In other words, it is just a brick of the secret party, and it can be moved wherever it is needed.
According to the monitoring of the big earth in the central control room of the library, when a problem that is difficult to solve by local forces occurs in a certain management area, the specialists left behind in the executive department must be airdropped to put out the fire.
Therefore, the specialists who can stay at the headquarters are all elites among the elites without exception, and each has unique skills. Even if a brother with a bloodline of only ‘C’ level can perform unique skills and give people a big surprise.
"Brother Nian is really amazing. He made such a big fuss without saying anything a while ago. Another one of the four great kings was killed just like that. The academy is already famous, and this is even more incredible."
"No kidding, my buddy who was on a business trip in the Middle East sent me a message saying that the stubborn mixed-blood forces there used to look down on our academy, but when the Beiyi incident came out, they were dealing with something, and when they heard the name of the academy, their attitude became respectful. It was a 180-degree turn."
"It's not just my credit." Lin Nian could only explain it this way.
"I know, there's also Lu Mingfei. I guess we'll have to call him Brother Lu after a while. You two are so powerful that you can easily capture any Dragon King. The King of Bronze and Fire was beaten into a vegetable by you two brothers, and the King of Earth and Mountain was also half disabled. Who will suffer next? Hahahaha"
There was laughter in the executive department. Lin Nian pinched his nose and couldn't explain anything. The brothers in the executive department were all stubborn. No matter what they thought, no one could correct them.
"But to be honest, there is something I still want to ask. Have you heard the rumors in the school recently, Brother Nian? The ones about you and the 'S' level." A buddy asked curiously with his hands on the railing.
"Don't ask nonsense questions. You know it's a rumor, but why are you asking?" The beautiful Latin American clerk immediately frowned and signaled the talkative guy to be silent.
"Me and Lu Mingfei? There's nothing wrong with us." Lin Nian said, "It's just that some things were handled too hastily and not made clear. We can find a time to sort it out."
"No big deal, right?"
"No big deal, just a misunderstanding of a word." Lin Nian said.
Many brothers in the executive department looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. It seems that there really is something going on between the two 'S'-levels. Although it is not as outrageous as the rumors, it is estimated that something went wrong during Bei's trip, otherwise the two Dragon Kings would have been killed.
"Damn, I'm so envious. I heard that there were many people in Bei's presence who saw the true face of the Dragon King. In addition to the orthodox and secret parties, there were also those inferior bounty hunters! Damn, I can meet the Dragon King and get away with it. I actually missed this opportunity!" The Japanese buddy looked like he had missed the lottery ticket, with a look of regret.
"There will always be a chance. It's not a good thing to go on missions frequently. You may not be able to come back alive even if you have the chance to see the Dragon King. Some of those who met the Dragon King were scared to death on the spot. Take more rest if you can." Lin Nian drank the coffee in one gulp, put the cup on the coffee machine, and patted the brother's shoulder to comfort him.
The Japanese brother stared at the empty coffee cup on the coffee machine in a daze. After Lin Nian walked away, he looked back at him, and then wondered if his coffee was freshly ground and brewed. Could it be that the coffee machine was broken? Thinking of this possibility, he was so scared that he quickly reached out to touch the inner wall of the cup, and then he was burned by the remaining hot temperature and withdrew his hand and screamed.
Without paying attention to the Japanese brother who was suffering from the loss behind him, Lin Nian walked into the deeper corridor of the executive department. It was much quieter along the way. He could still see the beautiful clerks walking by with documents. After seeing Lin Nian, they would smile and take the initiative to greet him. Some would even stop and ask Lin Nian sweetly why he had time to come to the executive department and whether he needed any help.
"Looking for Minister Schneider."
"The minister's words are still in the office. Just knock before entering."
Lin Nian walked to the door of the office according to his memory, glanced at the nameplate beside the door, raised his hand to knock on the door, and then the hoarse man's voice sounded from inside, "Come in."
Pushing the door open and going in, the Minister of the Executive Department, von Schneider, was sitting behind the innermost desk. In front of him were still piles of documents and reports that could not be approved. The small iron cart was quietly parked beside the table. The oxygen tank indicator on it was still in a safe position. It should be enough for him to stay here for a long time without going out to replace the necessities of survival. I think this is also an alternative way to force him to exercise instead of sitting for a long time.
"Lin Nian, sit down."
They are old acquaintances, so there is no need to talk about so many twists and turns. Lin Nian sat on the chair in front of the office, looked up at Schneider and asked directly, "What happened?"
You know, he is now on administrative leave. After completing a task, the specialists of the Executive Department will have a certain period of vacation to recuperate their body and mind to ensure that they can maintain mental health under high-pressure and high-intensity work.
The specific vacation time depends on the difficulty and content of the task. For example, in the "Bronze Plan", all professors and students who participated in the task were forced to take a three-month vacation. This time, Chu Zihang and Wei Lewa were also approved for a full three-month vacation for Beiyi's operation, but Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian were special. For unknown reasons, they were approved for a full six-month vacation by the Executive Department.
Within this six months, they don't have to do anything. As long as they report to the college in advance, they can go wherever they want, even back to their hometown. But they still need to find time to make up for the missed classes. Even if they don't take the exam this school year, the GPA is the highest standard by default.
During this period of administrative leave, unless there is a particularly urgent situation, the Executive Department will generally not call for a vacation specialist. After all, the Executive Department is not so short of people that they must catch a specialist and pull him hard. Unless this mission requires this specialist, and the failure rate of other candidates exceeds 90%, and it will also cause huge consequences, the Executive Department will have to wake up the vacation specialist and rush to the front line again.
By the way, Lin Nian is the unlucky specialist who has been robbed at least three times, so he is not surprised by this kind of situation. Who can say that his words are "Moment" and "Time Zero"? Besides him, who else can drive out of the city in one minute and throw an alchemical dirty bomb into the desert to explode? Or save the daughter of an Israeli congressman who is pointed at by dozens of guns from the hands of Al-Qaeda?
To be honest, he still doesn't quite understand how the Israeli congressman persuaded the US to ask Kassel College to send him, the executive department specialist, to rescue the other party's family. But they did it!
The congressman's daughter still wanted Lin Nian's contact information, saying that she wanted to seduce him. The congressman once again used the US government's channels to Kassel College to propose that Lin Nian be sent to the congressman's daughter's school as an exchange student, but this time he was ruthlessly rejected. And what's even more bizarre is that the US government has been pressuring for this matter for a long time, but in the end it still came to nothing.
"I won't let you carry dirty bombs, nor will I let you deal with dragons, and I won't let you play 007 to help the US government." Schneider saw through what Lin Nian was thinking at a glance, and killed those unrealistic guesses and possibilities as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lin Nian sat on the chair with his hands folded, waiting for the other party to speak at ease. It was not like he was asked to sit in the executive department, ask about his recent life, whether he enjoyed his meals, and whether his bowel movements were smooth. Maybe this was something that the freshman association and Lin Nian's fan club could do, but the executive department? Forget it.
Schneider looked at Lin Nian and felt that he was ready, then nodded and said, "We lost a document."
The moment he heard this, Lin Nian closed his eyes, raised his left hand, pressed his index finger against his brow bone and pressed his thumb against his temple.
Because of this sentence, he had a sense of déjà vu for some reason, a very bad sense of déjà vu. If he remembered correctly, he could not have remembered it wrong. The beginning of the chaos a few months ago started with a lost document.
Just like that time, Schneider's opening remarks were so similar to that time, starting with: We lost a document.
