Chapter 877 Kite String

The golden elevator opened, and the winding and deep corridor appeared in front of them. The warm yellow light was cast from the ceiling light, and a circle of light appeared with every three steps. Lin Nian and Chu Zihang's figures walking in the corridor suddenly dimmed. Ming Dynasty, the orchid islands and cinnamon species on both sides of them are bright green.

This is the fifth floor of the "Xi Luck Overseas Chinese Health Water Club for Seniors". It is also the first safe harbor established by Kassel College under the cover of the "Bath Center" in the coastal city in accordance with the "Safe Harbor Agreement" of the Executive Department. It has been operating stably for more than ten years and has protected numerous specialists in emergencies.

There is a light brown security door every five meters or so on both sides of the corridor. What is posted on the door is not the house number, but a uniform silver half-dead world tree. Silver electronic fingerprint locks are encrypted. Behind each security door They all correspond to emergency measures for different situations. Not to mention arsenals and emergency food reserves are essential. Even if you crawl into the safe harbor with blood all over your body and your stomach disemboweled, you can even find a room here. Let the doctor operate on you in a sterile operating room.

Of course, in addition to the special emergency rooms, there are also normal room types for the specialists to rest and use. The specifications are normal hotel specifications, and everything is available, but for more, you can only go to the Regent Hotel in the CBD area next door to enjoy it. .

Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Xian had been arranged here by Lin Nian earlier. It was considered the safest place in the city. It had perfect confidentiality measures and spent ten years lurking at the roots of the city. , from the company resume to the business license, etc., no problems can be found. At most, the name of the key supervision target can be seen on the public security anti-pornography list.

Lin Nian and Chu Zihang stopped in front of a security door in the middle and rear of the corridor and knocked on the door. They knocked on the door in a rhythmic manner, three fast and one slow. People flashed behind the peephole. After seeing the faces of the two people outside, the door lock immediately opened. The person who opened the door was Lu Mingfei. After seeing the complete Chu Zihang and Lin Nian, his expression was a little strange and his eyes were a little dodgey.

"Well, let me tell you something. Don't be impatient after listening to it." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and stood at the door without getting out of the way. Instead, he started chatting at the door.

"You let the orthodox 'S' class go?" Lin Nian guessed that something bad had happened by looking at Lu Mingfei's appearance, so he directly assumed the worst case scenario.

"No, she didn't run away, she was inside." Lu Mingfei looked back at the spacious suite inside, without any intention of moving away.

"If you were kidnapped, just blink." Lin Nian stared at Lu Mingfei and said that he could faintly hear the sound of a TV program playing in the room. If he were a thief who broke into the safe house, he would definitely choose to turn on the TV. Hide your heartbeat and breathing.

But after saying this, Lu Mingfei opened his dark eyes and stared at Lin Nian.

Lin Nian knew something must have happened, so he stopped delaying and took a step forward. Before Lu Mingfei could react, Lin Nian disappeared like a frame skip, leaving only Chu Zihang in the corridor in front of him. , he turned around in surprise and saw Lin Nian walking into the suite at the back.

This suite is the largest in the safe house and has the most complete facilities. The surrounding living room is filled with dark blue plush carpets and fully furnished. The surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows are blocked by opaque beige velvet curtains, hidden in the The LED wall lights at the edge of the wall provide a gentle and bright light source, allowing people to see all the layout of the living room clearly at a glance.

The first thing Lin Nian saw when he walked into the suite was Li Hueyue. After being treated with blood transfusion therapy led by the blonde girl, she temporarily lost her blood. Now she behaves quite calmly and honestly. She is sitting on the arc behind the blue glass coffee table with one hand on her knees. She was looking at the TV on the long sofa. Yes, she was watching TV. The comprehensive channel on the LCD TV was broadcasting "Animal World", and the process of polar bears hunting seal cubs was being broadcast.

Li Huoyue raised her head and glanced at Lin Nian without saying anything. Her eyes fell on the paper document that was being held. Her eyes stayed on the torn seal for a moment and then moved away.

"Where are my sister and Su Xiaoqiang?" Lin Nian asked.

"Um, is Su Xiaoqiang in the room?" Lu Mingfei, who was not far away, twitched his lips slightly and pointed to the brown-red door deep in the suite.

"Are they resting?" The safe house seemed safe so far. Lin Nian didn't think much about it and just glanced at the closed door over there.

"Probably, right?" Lu Mingfei said dryly, and then immediately changed the subject, "Compared to this, there is your phone number." He quickly walked to the edge of the coffee table and picked up the one that had been covering the table. He handed the landline microphone to Lin Nian.

"Who's on the other side?" Lin Nian didn't answer the phone.

"People from the academy."

"I know it's someone from the college. I'm just asking who it is. If it's the school board, just hang up."

But before Lu Mingfei could answer, Lin Nian heard the familiar hoarse voice on the phone, "Lin Nian, this is me. With your hearing, you should be able to hear what I said."

The voice of the director of the executive department is always so identifiable, so no matter how chaotic the scene is, the commissioners always only need to find the only hoarse voice.

Lin Nian looked at the phone receiver in Lu Mingfei's hand for a while, and finally sighed softly, reached out and took it and put it to his ear.

"This is Lin Nian," he said.

"This is Schneider." On the other end of the phone, Executive Director Von Schneider said softly, "You should know the main reason for this call."

"Know."

"Then we need an explanation. The college headquarters needs an explanation. You led the team away from the operation for more than half a day, more than fifteen hours. Your memory is very good. You should know all the regulations in the "Execution Department Specialist Manual" . Leaving the mission without authorization is a sign of loss of control, and when the situation is bad, it may even be characterized as defection." Schneider said solemnly.

Lin Nian suddenly exhaled and raised his head slightly to look at the ever-brightening LED wall lamp in the gap at the top of the wall of the suite. "Okay, then consider me a defector."

"."

"Two 'S' classes, two 'A' classes, and a teacher who defected together. The expression on the school board's face after learning about the situation must be very exciting, right? The hunting commissioner who will hunt us down will be the principal himself. Is it? Or the entire 'Owlbird' team that is being compiled?" His tone was very light and filled with a sense of boredom.

The suite suddenly became very quiet. The only thing that could be heard was the deep magnetic voice of the host in "Animal World". Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang didn't speak, even though Lin Nian put the word "defection" on it. They. But the former still had a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Don't be so childish," Schneider said.

"Don't treat me like a child."

"I never thought of you as a child."

"As the head of the executive department, of course you don't. It's the school board that treats me as a child. This phone call should be recorded, right?"

"Yes." Schneider, who was in the central control room of the headquarters, nodded and looked at the silent Manstein beside him.

"Then, let Norma seal the task of handing over to the South Railway Station and put it in storage. The executive department can also contact the school board to tell them that the task is over." Lin Nian said calmly.

"An hour ago, the Logistics Department informed us that we had received a request for help from the frontline commissioner, and that Tower A of the city's Twin Towers had been sealed off. It seems that you have successfully recaptured the document?" Schneider's tone became solemn.

"No, there was some accident. The documents were destroyed during the retrieval process. The enemy's resistance was surprisingly strong."

With that said, Lin Nian casually threw the paper bag in his hand on the coffee table. Next to him, Lu Mingfei's facial muscles were violently twitched a few times, then he licked his tongue and turned around to follow him on the sofa from the beginning. Li Huanyue couldn't take his eyes off and watched "Animal World" together.

"Destroyed?" Schneider was quiet for a while and said, "Are you sure it was destroyed? Did you see the document destroyed in the battle with your own eyes? In some way, there will always be some fragments left, right?"

Lin Nian glanced at Chu Zihang, who nodded calmly, then turned his head, "The indiscriminate release of 'Junyan' caused the documents to be directly burned to ashes, including the enemy's corpse. You should know the level of Chu Zihang’s speech spirit during the temperature difference test. There should be nothing in that document that can withstand high temperatures better than copper and iron."

"Okay. The 'SS'-level mission will be officially sealed from now on. Due to the special nature of the mission, the mission report can be skipped. Instead, Norma will keep the file based on all the information you have provided before. This phone recording will also be reported to the report truthfully. School board." Schneider was silent for a few seconds before answering calmly.

The answer on the other end of the phone was so straightforward, but it made Lin Nian suddenly frown. He was originally ready to sit down and argue with the execution department or even break it up, but the other party suddenly relented. According to his understanding, Schneider was If you don't have the authority to do this, could it be that the other party has received new instructions from the school board behind the scenes?

"By the way. Have you seen the details of that document?" Schneider asked, "Of course, I mean before the document was destroyed."

Lin Nian paused and looked down at the paper bag on the table. He did not read the contents of the document. All he knew about the document now was that it was a plan from the 'Solomon Temple Society' , which involves a plan called 'utero', and a name that shouldn't be in the plan appears on it.

He was going to read the document in the paper bag, but just because the situation had been changing before, he temporarily suppressed the impulse - he was going to take out the document at a suitable time, a time of "openness and honesty". File reading. And if it hadn't been for Schneider's call now, he might have pulled out the documents inside.

"No." Lin Nian replied, "What's wrong?"

On the phone, Schneider took a breath and suddenly changed the subject, "Lin Nian, I noticed that you have been very calm since you answered the phone."

"Shouldn't I calm down?" Lin Nian frowned slightly, not knowing what this sentence meant.

"Um, Lin Nian." Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke. With the distance he was close to Lin Nian, it was not difficult to hear Schneider's voice on the microphone, so now his expression finally became a little unbearable, and the palms and backs of his hands were bleeding. sweat.

Li Huanyue, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly turned her attention to a few people at this time. It seemed that a more attractive plot than "Animal World" was about to unfold.

"Um, didn't you ask me just now if your sister and Su Xiaoqiang were the same?" Lu Mingfei said stutteringly.

Boom boom.

As Lin Nian watched intently, Lu Mingfei was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door of the safe house.

Almost instantly, everyone in the suite turned their heads and cast their gazes like knives to the open door, where a fat boy was knocking on the door leaning against the wall. He was treated with such attention and courtesy. A Ji Ling stood up straight, "Excuse me, I'm looking for Lin Nian?"

Xu Miaomiao.

This name came up in the minds of Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian in the room. No one except the two of them knew this fat boy, but why did he appear here? He can appear anywhere, in the pizza parlor at class reunions, in the swimming pool of the gymnasium, on the basketball court on the street, or even in the bathing center below the fifth floor of this building, but he absolutely should not stand here, in this safe house. In front of the gate.

When no one could react, Xu Miaomiao took a look at the environment and people in the suite, and thought to herself that the standard of the suite in Foot Washing City was okay, but what was wrong with a group of handsome men and beauties sitting in the room watching "Animal World"? Or are you out of date and unable to keep up with the taste of the new era? But after several times to make sure that he had not broken anything "business", he looked at the coffee table and his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Nian holding the microphone, "Lin Linnian?"

"Yes, I am. Are you Xu Miaomiao? Why are you..." Lin Nian didn't have a deep impression of this boy, but he would never forget it. With his memory, he could even look at the faces of passers-by who happened to pass by a few years ago. Remember clearly.

"Your sister asked me to bring you a message." Xu Miaomiao said quickly after confirming Lin Nian's identity.

"What did you say?" Lin Nian was stunned.

He looked at Xu Miaomiao, but even for him, his mind didn't turn around for a while, and he subconsciously looked at the door where Lu Mingfei said Su Xiaoqiang and his sister rested.

"No, Xu Miaomiao, shut up! Lin Nian, listen to me, you must calm down." Lu Mingfei became anxious when he saw Lin Nian turning his head. The lead was always important, but he wanted to use it in a gentle way. , it is definitely not the form of Xu Miaomiao suddenly getting in and throwing a torch into the gunpowder pile! .

"Shut up! I really came with a verbal message. Do you know how difficult it was for me to find this place?" Xu Miaomiao was choked by Lu Mingfei and retorted angrily. He never had a good temper towards Lu Mingfei. After saying that, he looked at Lin Nian again, sorted out his words, and ignored Lu Mingfei who jumped forward to push him, and said quickly, "Lin Nian, your sister asked me to tell you that she has some things to deal with. She can't I want to take you with me, so I have to go on a long trip alone, so that you don’t have to look for her. Oh, by the way, she also asked you to be careful when you are alone. Don’t be deceived by pyramid schemes when you go out. Be careful and so on. By the way, she said: Hey, Lin Nian, why are you going?"

At the door of the suite, Xu Miaomiao was stunned when she saw Lin Nian dropped the phone receiver in his hand. The phone cord tore down the entire landline and cut off communication. The boy turned around and rushed inside like the wind.

Xu Miaomiao hurriedly took a few steps forward and poked her head in. She saw the boy walking quickly to a brown-red wooden door deep in the suite, and stretched out his hand to open the door!

Behind the brown wooden door, Lin Nian, who was holding the door handle, saw Su Xiaoqiang sitting blankly beside the bed. There were still some water marks on her cheeks, which should be tears.

Did she cry? But why is she crying? Lin Nian didn't know, but at this moment, he finally knew what the bad premonition in his heart was.

After the door opened, Su Xiaoqiang looked up and saw Lin Nian. The two looked at each other. The air was as heavy and thick as gelatin that filled the lungs when inhaled through the nose, making one breathless.

"I'm sorry." Su Xiaoqiang stood up from the bed and looked at Lin Nian with red eyes, "I couldn't keep her, I really tried my best."

Lin Nian didn't hear her speak. He just stood at the door and looked in blankly, but Su Xiaoqiang was the only one in the whole room, and he couldn't find anyone else.

—

For the first time in many years, the emotion that the boy thought he had long forgotten and abandoned came back.

Just like the kite got tired of the sky and decided to throw it into the sea without hesitation, the little boy who had been running forward on the ground suddenly felt so light in his hand. When he looked back, he realized that the kite string was broken.

On the grass, the little boy looked up at the sky with a look of confusion on his face.
