Chapter 571 Special Report
A black-screen LCD TV hung quietly in the corner of the room. The pitch-black LCD screen tilted downward reflected the silent pair of boys and girls in front of and behind the metal table.
No one spoke first, probably thinking about what to say and what to start with. There were shadows of footsteps lingering in the gap under the iron door of the room. There were probably many people waiting outside, and they were stubborn about the boy in the room. Feeling helpless and having a headache.
"My noodles are getting cold," Lin Nian said.
Opposite the metal table, Su Xiaoqiang raised his head and glanced at the boy, then looked at the beef noodles that were still steaming hot because of the summer, and gently twitched his delicate nose. Because the room was not well ventilated, the whole room was now full of food. It's filled with the aroma of beef noodles.
Lin Nian leaned forward and stretched out his hand to place the noodle bowl in front of Su Xiaoqiang. He then placed the chopsticks neatly beside the bowl. After finishing everything, he sat back on the chair and looked at Su Xiaoqiang without saying a word.
Su Xiaoqiang looked down at the beef noodles and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he picked up the chopsticks and inserted them into the beef noodles and stirred them. He picked up a chopstick and stuffed the noodles with hot oil into his mouth. His fair cheeks were bulging and buried in the beef noodles. He started to make a small, thin sound of eating noodles.
The whole room could only hear the sound of her eating. When the girl was being spicy, she would turn her head and exhale softly from time to time. At this time, Lin Nian would hand over a half-drinked bottle of mineral water, and she would not come. She refused to unscrew it and blew into the bottle. After blowing, she continued to eat noodles fiercely, as if she had never eaten in eight lifetimes, or maybe this bowl of noodles was spicy to death and her father was her father-killer.
Lin Nian held his chin with the palm of his right hand and lay on the back of the chair with his head lowered, watching the girl eat. When she ate too hard, he would remind her not to choke, but he always said to slow down, and the girl's voice sounded in the room. There was a violent coughing sound, and after the coughing, he continued to eat noodles, without giving any chance to open up the topic.
At the end of the meal, the girl reached for the mineral water on the side again, but only took an empty bottle. After taking a look at the empty bottle, she put it down, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and ate the remaining noodle bowl. He pushed forward, sat back and leaned on the back of the chair, gently placed his left hand on his chin and lowered his head to cover half of his face.
Lin Nian, who was across the table, took out a piece of toilet paper from his windbreaker and handed it over. After the girl took it, she raised the tissue and wiped away some tears that were caused by crying or for other reasons. After putting down the tissue, she found that the boy opposite handed her over again. He came over with a tissue, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's just that the noodles are too spicy."
"I asked you to wipe your mouth. There's something stuck here." Lin Nian handed the tissue to her hand and pointed to the corner of his mouth.
The girl was stunned for a moment and looked down at the reflective metal tabletop, only to find that her face, which was red from the heat, was stained with a lot of chili oil. She looked extremely happy and no better than a little piglet snatching food.
She took the tissue and wiped her cheeks. She raised her head and looked at Lin Nian and asked, "Do you still have it now?"
Lin Nian looked at the cheeks and eye sockets that were red from the beef noodles. He stretched out his hand to point at the cheeks but gave up after thinking about it. He leaned over and stretched out his thumb to scratch the girl's face and took away the drop of oil. When doing this action, the girl looked at him the whole time, and he lowered his eyes and stared at those serious eyes.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lin Nian sat back down and wiped his hands, paused and asked, "You have so many dark circles under your eyes."
Su Xiaoqiang sat back in the chair, lowered his head and took a deep breath. He raised his hand to scratch the corners of his eyes and nodded. Not only did she not sleep well, she didn't sleep all night last night.
"Why are you crying?" Lin Nian asked softly, looking at her red eyes.
Strange question.
"Beef noodles are spicy." But Su Xiaoqiang still answered, trying his best to keep his voice from choking after crying.
"It's not that spicy. I also had beef noodles from this restaurant for lunch. The noodles ordered by the execution department for everyone are all mildly spicy. Only people with strong tastes will specifically ask for more chili peppers," Lin Nian said.
"Pfft." Su Xiaoqiang was startled for a moment and then suddenly laughed out loud. Probably because his stubbornness was exposed on the spot, he muttered in a low voice, "Don't you even make people cry if you cry? Why are you so fierce after I haven't seen you for a few days?" Already?"
"I just want to say that it's good to cry to vent your emotions. Compared with your current reaction, it would be ugly to see other people crying until they can't control their bowels and urine." Lin Nian shook his head and explained.
Su Xiaoqiang wiped away the tears with her fingers and then looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar boy across the table and said, "Don't you have anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Lin Nian nodded.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the grainless white ceiling and said, "I'm thinking about where to start. There are so many things to say that I can't sort them out at the moment. You should know that my compositions have always been very slow. It’s very average. You can only copy template compositions by rote. Writing is your strong point. Why don’t you give me some Huotou tips?”
"That, what is it?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, pointing to the half-decayed World Tree school emblem on Lin Nian's collar.
"Kassel College Coat of Arms."
"What is Kassel Academy?"
"On the surface, it is a private aristocratic university, but secretly it is a KGB-style institution with the goal of slaying dragons. It aims to train elite commissioners who are proficient in many skills including combat, tracking, investigation, etc., and constantly delivers fresh knowledge to the world. The dragon-slaying blood.”
"Slay the dragon?"
"It literally means slaying a dragon. We believe that this kind of mythical creature exists in the world. In fact, there are countless facts that confirm this. For example, the 'Deadpool' you and Lu Mingfei met yesterday is a member of the dragon clan. Derivatives, artificial soldiers created by using the serum of pure-blooded dragons, are extremely dangerous and anti-human. Our purpose is to prevent this dangerous experiment from continuing and arrest all criminals related to it."
"You work for the government?"
"No, we work in the interests of a bunch of old guys who think they have a lot of self-esteem, and occasionally world peace."
"Then what are you?" Su Xiaoqiang asked softly after a pause.
Last night, the scene where the giant blue-black shadow fell from the sky and slaughtered the Deadpool in front of them with iron-blooded fierceness was still vivid in their minds. In a sense, the giant blue-black shadow that appeared at that time was different from the previous Deadpool. Big difference, even more violent and vicious.
That was Lin Nian, there was no doubt that it was Lin Nian, because if the monster hadn't been Lin Nian, it wouldn't have reached out and gently hugged Su Xiaoqiang, who rushed over desperately. Even now, when Lin Nian thinks of the scene at that time, he can't help but turn his head away and sigh at the persistence of the girl in front of him.
"We are half-breeds," he said flatly.
"Mongrel?"
"Monsters that wander between humans and dragons can be understood as hybrids in common sense. It's just that the other half of our parents has some monster blood."
"Monster?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly smiled.
If Lin Nian was a monster, then she would not have left the tower alive last night. She could not accept this self-deprecating statement at all. She had already accepted this reality all night yesterday. No matter how many times she asked herself, in her opinion The boy in front of her was the boy she knew and loved. No matter how he changed, he was still the same awkward and gentle boy. On the contrary, Lin Nian's previous alienation and incomprehensible distance from her was immediately explained.
There was even a hint of sympathy in Su Xiaoqiang's heart now, and those words that wanted to urgently identify with this boy came to her mouth. When she was about to say it, Lin Nian in front of her suddenly said, "Why are you laughing? You are the same." monster."
Su Xiaoqiang was about to use a sensational line to establish herself as the only heroine in a blockbuster movie when she suddenly got stuck in her mouth. She was stunned for a while and looked up at Lin Nian in confusion.
"Do you know why you were interrogated alone by Masashi Toyama?"
"I don't know." Su Xiaoqiang shook his head.
"The commissioner who was with me last night made a usual report to the execution department after waking up from the first aid. However, he specifically stated one thing in the report, that is, during the mission last night, he noticed that among the guests at the press conference, One of them has an extremely "serious" golden eye phenomenon." Lin Nian looked at the stunned girl and said calmly, "Guess who this person is?"
"Who?" Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment.
