Facing his uncle's doubts, the first emotion that arose in Ronan's heart was not nervousness, but secretly relieved: It's finally here.
In fact, this is much better than the worst-case scenario shown on the plan. Only one uncle and aunt came, and he was a wise and rational uncle. He made it clear that they wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk, not a three-party trial.
This is almost the ideal state. The more it is like this, the less likely it is to mess things up. At this time, the friend group also entered a state of silence, and everyone had a tacit understanding to calm Ronan's mind.
Ronan carefully checked the document plan, first silently apologized to his uncle, and then showed it as a long silence to the outside world, and then spoke:
"It was an accident."
This answer did not satisfy Mo Haihang, and he frowned slightly: "Accident? When did the accident happen?"
"September 30th."
"Which one?"
"On the evening of September 30th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, we went to see grandpa together that day. You said he might..."
Mo Haihang recalled it carefully and frowned even more: "Except for Mo Ya, our whole family was together that day, from morning to night."
"But I was in a coma for a while, and at night, after meeting Yan Yongbo...that's when I went to the fighting ring."
Hearing Yan Yongbo's name, Mo Haihang opened his mouth and finally swallowed back the "nonsense". His rational side prevailed, and the weird logic that had been swirling in his heart naturally derived the answer:
"Out of body experience?"
In the friend group, a bunch of people said: "Oh, you are indeed a knowledgeable person."
"Sca's senior technical staff know that it's normal. The key is how to deal with it."
"Looking at this person's expression, you must have guessed something beforehand, right? Is this the time to confess?"
"I want to see the copy written by Secretary He."
In the sudden chaos of messages in the group, Ronan continued to calm his breathing and looked at his uncle as calmly as possible. Yes, my uncle has a basic understanding of this kind of thing. In this case, there are no other excuses.
From now on, the elements of lies begin to penetrate and officially enter the realm of irreversibility: "I was a 'soul' at that time, and my consciousness was placed on..."
The sound of fluttering wings could be heard, and it was very clear even against the sound of rain pattering outside the window.
Ronan made a gesture, and the automatic curtains slowly opened, revealing a huge bird stretching its claws to hook onto the window sill. Under the light in the room, its dark feathers almost completely melted into the night.
"It's called Ink, and it was originally a very common bald-nosed crow. But I would use it to conduct some experiments, so now it has become different from a normal crow... That night, after my ability sprouted, part of my consciousness I placed my trust in Mo Mo and wanted to track down Yan Yongbo and find out the details of that guy, but I encountered something on the way and met a friend. I took a sidetrack and entered the recycling layer of Hewu District, where we discovered the underground In the fighting arena, I met Ruiwen."
Ronan said this in one breath, his heartbeat was speeding up unconsciously, and now he really couldn't go back.
Mo Haihang was obviously stunned. He looked at Ronan, and then stared at the ink outside the window. He did this several times in a row, and did not ask any more questions. He just said softly: "So, are you an ability user now? Have you joined..."
Ronan nodded and finished the sentence in one breath: "Yes, after I transferred the soul ink, I helped my friend destroy the underground fighting arena. And that friend was a member of the Xia City branch; and the hospital where I stayed that day There are also branch members here, and after going back and forth, they absorbed me into the guild. Last week, I have officially awakened, and my abilities are soul transfer and precise perception."
"Awakened?" Mo Haihang subconsciously confirmed again, his trance was obvious.
Just when Ronan said "Yeah", in the friend group, Red Fox, who had always been relatively silent, suddenly complained: "Officially awakened... This is the most disgusting joke I have ever heard."
Zhang Yingying also agreed: "Sure enough, the secretaries are all evil-minded, and this copywriting is not sincere."
If a group of people can say this, it proves that the current situation is not wrong.
As expected, my uncle had done some psychological construction. He accepted Ronan's rhetoric in a dazed but smooth state. After a few seconds, he asked again: "How did you... How do you feel about being in the Xiacheng branch? "
Ronan didn't know what his uncle's unspoken question was, so he could only respond step by step: "The people there are very nice, and everyone is very kind to me."
Mo Haihang thought of another young man who was very close to Ronan: "Xue Lei, is he also a member of the branch?"
"Yes, but he joined the guild later than me. It was me who accepted him into the guild, and the master of the monastery also agreed."
"Really? It would be great if that's the case." Mo Haihang suddenly smiled. He still had more and more in-depth questions that he wanted to ask, but with his rich social experience, he knew that it would be impossible to interrogate all of Ronan's details in just a few sentences.
Not only Ronan, but even the espers association might not allow it.
He could only continue to ask casually, and asked briefly: "You have been a member of the association for more than two months. How have you spent this time? What kind of work does the association usually arrange for you?"
"I don't have any clear responsibilities at the moment. After all, I just joined the association not long ago and the induction training has just ended..."
There were boos in the friend group. This person did not have any clear responsibilities, but he would find things to do from time to time without being specially arranged by the association.
Even Mo Haihang didn't quite believe it. After all, Ronan had gone through a lot of things in the past two months. He could think of it whenever he thought about it: "That time in the Frost River Realm?"
"That was the Justice Order's madness. I just happened to meet it at the right time. Moreover, President Ouyang and His Majesty the Emperor Wu have already suppressed the matter."
Ronan also knew that such words were not easy to win people's trust. After thinking about it, he held up the middle fingers raised by his friends and blurted out: "That time was just unlucky. So far, the association has really arranged The job I was given was to cooperate with a studio affiliated to the association to conduct some investigative work last month. It mainly involved the infiltration of mutants into Xia City."
"Abnormal infiltration?"
"Well, now my work is done. It's actually very simple. I just need to devote some energy to the ink and let it work."
At this time, Zhugan, whose ban period had expired, finally had the opportunity to remind him: "Stop, stop! That's enough. Saying too much may be self-defeating."
Ronan stopped in time, and Mo Haihang, who was at the center of the authority department, automatically filled in the details: "If the aberration has infiltrated... is it the one who filed the three-gate security case last month?"
Ronan was a little surprised: "They opened a case? But there is no official news!"
"There is too much sensitive information involved, and revealing it to the public will only lead to chaos."
At this point, Mo Haihang has formed a closed loop about the situations Ronan confessed. The specific time, place, cause, and development are all available, and now even specific examples are listed. As far as the logic chain is concerned, there is already a relatively credible skeleton, and the rest are various details.
But what's the use of wondering about that?
So, after Mo Haihang asked about some changes in daily life, he stopped this round of heart-to-heart communication: "What are you going to do now?"
"I...it's good to keep doing this first." Ronan said vaguely, then looked over eagerly, "Should I tell my aunt these things?"
Mo Haihang was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly: "Let me think about it, you two, father and son, seem to be born to give me problems."
Ronan was also startled when Leng Buding came to that person. Then I saw Mo Haihang getting up to leave.
Is this the end? Can you pass the test with just a few quick questions?
Ronan was a little confused and stood up instinctively: "Uncle..."
Mo Haihang actually walked out. He didn't open the door until he turned back and warned: "The Association of Abilities is also a big dyeing vat. Their reputation in Xia City is pretty good, but you must also be careful not to go astray."
Ronan could only sigh, watching Mo Haihang go out and close the door, but in the subsequent induction, he did not return to his room, but went to the study, where he was lost in thought.
In the friend group, the paper-cut people were surprised: "It's over here? Isn't it?"
Zhugan said: "How can it be so easy to be fooled? Since we are from SCA, a series of verifications will definitely be inevitable in the next few days... But this kind of butt-wiping job is most convenient for a secretary to do, so we don't have to Worry about it.”
"Then it's all gone, let's go."
"Thank you all." Ronan expressed his gratitude in the group, and then turned off perspective sharing. Lie down on the bed, close your eyes and recall what you said before, to see if there are any mistakes.
Ronan's words were almost 90% true, but he was careless in identifying some key properties and confused certain timelines.
Although Mo Haihang has many more intelligence resources than ordinary people, he is not a member of the inner world after all. It's like learning a foreign language for the first time. You can understand pretty much the same meaning, but it's hard to grasp the emotional color and degree.
This gave Ronan the opportunity to be vague.
"It's really... your own fault!" It had been less than half an hour since returning home, but Ronan was exhausted both physically and mentally. He was not so tired even when he ambushed Jin Tong.
Ronan also struggled for a long time whether to tell part of the truth to his elders. But He Yueyin told him: Putting aside his uncle Mo Haihang's work resources at SCA, just considering the careers of Ronan's grandfather, father, and mother in the wilderness, as well as related sensitive matters, his family's elders and relatives were doomed. The essential difference between those ignorant ordinary people.
You can't hide it, it just depends on how you express it.
In fact, according to He Yueyin's meaning, when it is broken, it is broken. Now that things have reached this stage, it is better to tell them everything and then take immediate measures to protect the family. Of course, this is the security fortress built at the cost of completely destroying the Ronan family's normal living order.
And even He Yueyin can't be completely sure that their family will really have peace of mind from now on. After all, with the strength of the Xiacheng branch and the cooperation with allies such as the Xiacheng military and political departments who are not so firm in their stance, it is impossible to be truly foolproof.
In the end, Ronan chose to partially inform in order to relieve the anxiety in the hearts of the two elders. Now that this goal has been set, all information such as pressure and danger must be concealed - but whatever is concealed must be shouldered. Whether in the family or in this vast world.
Otherwise, he is just a fool who escapes reality and harms his loved ones.
Ronan thinks he's not smart enough, but stupid...
Yes or no, it depends on these days.
