Chapter 40 City Gate and Fish Pond

Chapter 40 City Gate and Fish Pond

In the common people's impression, people called professors are usually gentle and thin scholars, or white-haired, wearing glasses, bookish, etc...

However, it may be difficult to reflect these on a mountain of meat more than two meters high.

Now this mountain of meat is showing a warm smile to Ai Qing, the oil on his face is shining brightly, dazzling like the sun. The hands are constantly moving, skillfully arranging those instruments that are too delicate for his thick fingers.

"Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee." Ai Qing said, "No sugar."

Soon, a steaming cup of coffee was placed in a delicate cup and placed on the saucer in front of Ai Qing.

The professor turned around on the huge and exaggerated swivel chair, opened the refrigerator next to it, and kept bringing out various exquisite cakes, puddings, chocolates, macarons, fruits from Yingzhou, mille-feuille from Rome...

"It's time for dinner, let's eat together."

He smiled and tied the napkin for himself, picked up the knife and fork: "I've lost weight recently, and I don't eat meat at night."

Ai Qing looked at the table full of heat, and seemed to be a little emotional, and soon, she shook her head regretfully and refused: "You will die because of high cholesterol sooner or later."

"Cerebral thrombosis has happened several times."

The professor raised his finger with a smile, and knocked on the scar from the operation on his forehead: "Thank you to the Astronomical Society, the medical technology of the Survivor Institute always allows me to continue this hobby."

"It's useless even if you flatter me. Anyway, I'm just a newcomer who just became a regular." Ai Qing took a sip of coffee and nodded with satisfaction.

Although I really don't want to admit it, the coffee here is indeed the best in Xinhai. Although my family has a lot of rare coffee powder, but the craftsmanship is not as good as this guy.

"This juncture has turned right? Then you have worked hard enough——"

The professor frowned slightly: "Will the war on the Dragon Triangle affect Xinhai?"

"It will be a little bit."

Ai Qing knocked on the table and sighed.

This is simply a model of the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.

As the world's leading behemoth, the power of the Astronomical Society is not insignificant. It is itself the dark incarnation of the United Nations organization.

Ninety years ago, in order to deal with threats beyond the border, under the initiative of the Pioneer Association, the five permanent members of the United Nations, Dongxia, Rome, the Russian Union, the American Community, and the First Dynasty of Egypt, jointly established the International Astronomical Society. .

Today, the governing body of the Wenhui has replaced the "Governing Bureau" of the "Utopia" itself, which is itself composed of dignitaries from various countries and major monopoly groups.

That's why World War I was called the war that ended all wars—

Since then, there has been no worldwide war, yes, but this does not mean that war has disappeared, it has just moved to a place that ordinary people cannot see. In order to compete for the right to speak in the governing bureau, have there been fewer proxy wars between countries over the years?

Otherwise, how did Baghdad become a ruin?

Dozens of frontiers were sunk by the four natural enemies who fought hard, and fell into the depths of hell, and the aftermath caused has not subsided until now.

Although the existence of the Astronomical Society will be maintained under pressure from outside the border between countries, groups and groups, internal fighting has always been indispensable...

Just like this border war in the Dragon Triangle.

Over the years, it has been tacitly accepted that the countries and institutions of the border domain have the leading development rights of the border—but the reason why the border is called the border is not only because they are on the edge of the current situation, but also because it is like a The border is also an area of ​​thin sovereignty.

Especially under special circumstances, they can be moved...

Over the years, in order to compete for the relics of the former Yamatai Empire - the border of the 'Dragon Triangle', the princes representing the Tianjin family and the warriors representing the Guojin family in Yingzhou have been fighting constantly, and this is not the first time that the two sides have fought Bloodshed, the speed at which border sovereignty changed hands was even more exaggerated than the speed at which prime ministers were changed at home. As a result, they fought back and forth and broke the boundary wedge that fixed the border...

Boundary wedges can be broken so badly!

Friends, did you do it on purpose?

In short, according to the calculations of the Astronomical Society, the Dragon Triangle has already begun to drift, first drifting towards the Australian Islands, and then suddenly turning to the northwest...

That's right, it floated towards Dong Xia.

Dong Xia was so happy now, Frontier Development Group Taiqing Heavy Industry had already started rubbing his hands impatiently, waiting for this piece of meat to fall into the pot.

Then, Ying Zhou became unhappy. But at this moment, the Dragon Triangle has already floated on the high seas. If you don't like it, who are you? The people are really happy when they are happy.

What's more, if such a big thing floats over, you hide it so that no one can interfere. What if there is something dangerous in it?

Dong Xia Zhensheng: Come on, let me be healthy!

I don't know if it is developing normally, but the situation will definitely become more and more tense.

What makes Ai Qing headache now is that if Dongxia really plans to take countermeasures against the Dragon Triangle, after a while, Xinhai City will become one of the most convenient outlets to the sea.

In other words, more and more sublimators who want to make money, win treasures, earn extra money, and do things will come here.

And what Ai Qing has to worry about is not only the sublimator crimes that will definitely increase by then, but also the mutual attraction between the borders——

What if the Yamatai border in the Dragon Triangle collides with the East Xia coast, and which border collides with it?

At that time, a comet will hit the earth, okay?

Of course, she is definitely not the only one who is worried, but she will definitely have her share in the list of culprits. It is not a good time to become the official inspector of the Astronomical Society at this time.

Rather, if you want to be wise and safe, you have to prepare for a transfer within half a year.

The speed of the border drift is not fast, but according to the current momentum, I am afraid that in a year at the latest, a big disturbance will erupt from the surrounding area of ​​Xinhai.

"Have you found a good place?"

The professor asked casually: "The relationship behind you is sure that you can't even do this?"

Ai Qing glanced at him and said nothing.

"Curiosity, pure curiosity."

The professor laughed honestly. After a gust of wind and clouds, he had eaten more than half of the assortment of desserts on the table, and poured coffee that was so sugary that it was about to turn into mush.

I was half full for dinner.

He wiped his mouth, took out a thick file from under the table and put it in front of Ai Qing.

"This is the investigation you want, all the records and news about the Savior's Church at present." The professor said: "According to your request, I only did the basic integration and deleted some useless bloat. But there is nothing Add any subjective argument, I believe this document will not trouble you."

Ai Qing is quite confident in her ability to read documents - if she wants to guess, she doesn't need others to add subjective opinions after guessing instead of herself.

The most important reason why she was able to become an inspector in the one-in-a-million selection was not only the near-perfect test scores, but also the 'intuition' that was considered a rare talent even in the Astronomical Society.

Yes, that's right, intuition.

If there is no basis for guessing odd or even numbers, she may guess right or wrong by half or five points. If it is a game of throwing dice and guessing points, she may be far inferior to those professional mathematicians.

But only in the face of complicated and chaotic situations can her intuition reveal its preciousness.

In terms of probability, the probability of being correct is about 65%.

With an accuracy rate exceeding 15% of ordinary people, she stood out from the complicated tests and was rated as the top A+ talent.

This kind of talent is definitely a perfect match for the predictive stigmata, even if there is no soul sublimation, it is enough to make people look forward to.

The Astronomical Society doesn't care about the 35% failure rate. In fact, they have enough ability to pay for it. If it wasn't for Ai Qing's rejection of the countermeasure room's offer and her choice of a local post, wouldn't the Chinese Literature Club have started training her in a targeted manner?

Because of this, she was ridiculed as a model of ignorance among the trainees of the same period——

As an information dealer, the professor knows the details of his collaborator very well, and he knows all the records on paper, but he is more curious about those things that have not been recorded on paper.

Ai Qing kept a secret about this, and never revealed the slightest to others.

In the silence, she focused on turning the heavy pages of the book, and the professor didn't bother her anymore, but just changed the direction on the swivel chair and flipped through the obscure professional books on the table.

If you want to talk about Ai Qing's reading impressions, then only the Savior Church's water is deeper than expected.

Although it looks like a liar group no matter how you look at it, there are too many suspicious points in it. Whether it's the origin of that weird frontier relic, or those sublimators who have secretly intersected with them...

Wang Hai, who was confessed by the accomplice, was just a temporary leader. Before him, when the Savior Society didn't have this name, there were even traces of other leaders.

It is true that the wretched development of Laotang Town has been hiding in secret, but on the surface, many companies in the mainland, including Boai Charity, have extensive contacts with other places.

Not only Xinhai, but even traces extending to other places, it can be said that the three teachings and nine streams are omnipresent. If there is no red gloves to cross the river and take advantage of this liar's church, I don't know how long it will take to notice these ghost things that are concentrated in the lower classes in rural areas and remote cities.

Now it seems that it is more like the offline and vest of a huge organization.

But where is the hand reaching out?

There are too many questionable directions.

The Black Sky Religion of Tianzhu? Blissful land on the frontier? The scientific gods of the American Commonwealth? Or the hundred and eight thousand ghosts and snake gods in Yingzhou?

It's a pity that Wang Hai and Nue, the only ones who knew the details, were already dead, otherwise Ai Qing wouldn't have restarted the investigation like looking for a needle in a haystack.

She wasn't worried about what would happen to Red Gloves who had been killed by Huai Shi and Green Day, the largest terrorist organization on the border behind him.

The power of the frontier is the frontier after all, if you want to make a difference in the current situation, you can't get around the Astronomical Society that covers the whole world.

What she was worried about was, what exactly was the savior going to do with those psychopaths who searched for the source of the old man? Did you make it or are you doing it? What are you going to do?

Among them, who else is doing it with them?

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe that Wang Hai, a waste who only cheated money, could use philanthropic public welfare to infiltrate Xinhai's middle and upper classes.

Just by looking at the file, that guy is always just cheating on the pension.

So, who is behind this?

Not long after, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the phone.

And when she finished answering the phone, she was completely out of the mood to continue thinking.

"Here is the initial report." She put away the file on the table: "I will transfer the follow-up money to you, but the investigation of the Saviors will continue. Please remember to notify me of any new situation."

"Don't worry, I will."

The professor drank his tea and looked at her expression: "Did the Erosion and Sublimation appear again to commit crimes?"

"No, it's worse than that."

Ai Qing knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair expressionlessly, recalling the description of Huai Shi on the phone, she couldn't help but want to sigh:

"—much worse than that."
