November 2013, Jade Khanate
In the snow and cold wind of winter, Burhan's body and the metronome he exchanged for his life returned to the Jade Khanate.
The funeral custom of the Jade Khanate is to bury the deceased as soon as possible. The sooner the funeral, the better. It is usually buried on the same day and no later than the next day. However, Burhan was not buried until nearly 20 days after his death.
What is even more uncomfortable is that in order to maintain confidentiality and continue to protect Bashir, Susay Muzadi and his wife were unable to attend their son's funeral.
Burhan was buried in the family cemetery of his adoptive father, and Hamid conducted the funeral in a trance.
On the fifth day of the funeral, according to custom, relatives and friends will go to express condolences to the family of the deceased.
Hamid ran down the steps of his office building and got into Susay Muzadi's bulletproof car.
The car drove along the village of Noli leading to the southwest suburbs of Plateau City. There was a heavily guarded compound in the village that looked like a barracks. It was the country residence of Susay and his wife Bea Muzadi.
Susay sat in the car without saying a word. Hamid pressed the button and raised the fogged glass shield to isolate himself from the driver in the front seat.
Then, Hamid stared motionlessly at the back of the seat without saying a word, as if being influenced by his subconscious, his head unconsciously hid to the other side of Susay.
"Hamid, are you thinking that it would be better if you sent someone else instead of Burhan? Are you thinking that it would be better if you told Burhan to abandon the mission when he encounters danger?" Susai's eyes returned to normal. The shocking power caught Hamid's evasive eyes and said.
Hamid sighed, but still said nothing.
"How about the metronome?" Susie asked, changing the subject.
"The metronome is severely corroded, but the scales are still clear after treatment. It has been handed over to Professor Mustafa for research." Hamid replied calmly and continued: "Five scales have been lengthened and bolded. Comparatively In particular, the professor thinks it may refer to five frequencies, corresponding to 0.5, 1, 4, 4.083, and 7.83 Hz respectively."
"Has Mustafa understood the meaning of these five frequencies?" Susay asked.
"The 4 Hz frequency corresponds to seismic activity monitoring, and 7.83 Hz is the Schumann resonance, also known as the earth's resonance. The meaning of the other three frequencies is unknown and requires further research. But the professor found a treasure, and he firmly believed that the frequency corresponding to the metronome would become Our best weapon," Hamid replied.
In the small courtyard, Bashir and Roxana sat on the left and right next to Bea Muzadi.
Bashir was secretly picked up from the Sailing City by a speedboat in Gubo Bay yesterday.
Although Rosanna could not wait to get engaged to Burhan, Hamid decided to take her back from school in Xiangmo City.
Seeing her husband and Hamid walking into the house, tears welled up in Bea's eyes that she had just wiped dry. Roxana snuggled up to Bea understandingly, gently stroking her back and shoulders.
Bashir stood up and hugged his father, crying and saying, "Burhan is dead. How could he die?"
Susai hugged his youngest son tightly, slowly let go, put his hands on Bashir's shoulders, and said:
"I originally wanted to tell you later, but I discussed with your Uncle Hamid and decided to tell you something. I hope you can be as strong and brave as your brother."
Although Bea was just an ordinary housewife, she was well aware of her husband's work nature and habits. She wiped away tears and stood up and said:
"I'll cook for the children. You can talk slowly if you have anything to say."
Rosanna stood up with Bea sensibly and walked outside together. Susay stopped Rosanna and motioned for her to sit down.
At the same time, he signaled to Hamid to start.
"Your brother Burhan is not dead, he sacrificed for our cause! When faced with the test of life and death, he bravely completed the arduous and important task regardless of personal safety." Hamid looked at Ba Ba affectionately Hill, continued:
"Bashir, Roxana, you two have been separated from your biological parents since you were young and have been fostered in other people's homes. Later, when you came to my school and had an old father like me, you must be wondering what kind of mysterious things we adults are doing. matter?"
"Our cause is strictly confidential. It is our enemies or opponents who force us to do this. The major powers in the world allow us in the Jade Khanate to choose one of two, either strategic security or economic development, but they do not allow us to Get both.”
Hamid raised his head and looked at his two disciples, asking them if they understood with his eyes.
"You mean that if the Jade Khanate possesses nuclear weapons, it will be subject to economic sanctions. If it wants to lift the sanctions, it must give up its nuclear weapons, right?" Bashir asked.
"That's right. We are having difficult negotiations with many countries for this. No matter what choice we make, it will be very painful for us. The thing your brother exchanged for his life may provide us with a new opportunity."
Susay added: "Our cause has a long way to go, and we believe that both of you will be willing to fight with us like Burhan did."
"In 2008, the President of Country F launched the Sirule Plan to merge many universities around Xiangmo City on the Sirule Plateau to form Sirule University. It plans to enroll the first batch of students next year, but the merger is complicated and has been repeatedly resisted. , we estimate that the first semester will not start until September 2015." Hamid said.
"You are saying that you want to send us to Srure University to study, but Rosanna will not be 16 years old next year?" Bashir said with regret.
"I will not be 16 years old the year after tomorrow, but my identity in Mojin Country, Miss Camilla, will be 18 years old by then." Rosanna said with a playful wink.
"Rosanna has already gone to high school in Xiangmo City under the alias Camilla. Bashir, we have decided to transfer you to Xiangmo City as well so that you can master the language of Country F as quickly as possible," Hamid said.
July 2015, Xiangmo City
"Tomorrow is the first time you two will perform a mission. I will emphasize the details of the mission to you again." said the captain of the Jade Khanate Intelligence Bureau's action team in Xiangmo City.
Bashir and Roxana (Camila) have already taken the initiative to contact Jennifer Braun as required, trying to get to know her as well as possible and gain a good impression.
The real target of the operation is Daphne Braun, a Liangguo native and Jennifer's cousin.
Knowing that the sisters will go to Apollo Square to watch the music and fireworks show tomorrow night, Bashir and Roxana's task is to track them all the way.
After arriving at the predetermined area of Apollo Square, it is Bashir's job to attract Daphne's attention and make her laugh as much as possible.
It is up to Roxanne to take photos of Daphne using an encrypted mobile phone and send the photos without arousing suspicion.
After that, Roxana is responsible for receiving the next instructions through her mobile phone.
If the command is "cancel", the two must naturally separate from the sisters and give up the action as if nothing happened.
If Roxanne receives "action", Roxana will send a coded signal to Bashir, who will try to stun Daphne with a specially prepared bottle of lemonade.
The drug is slow-release, and after Daphne drinks the lemonade, the two of them should leave naturally.
The peripheral operations team will carry the unconscious Daphne to a fake ambulance disguised in advance and carry out the kidnapping.
On the evening of the 14th, in Apollo Square, Rosanna received the word "cancel" on her mobile phone. She touched Bashir seemingly casually to attract his attention, and at the same time, she rubbed her eyes with her hands.
This signal means to cancel the action.
But Bashir, as if he didn't see the signal, turned around and continued to talk happily with Daphne in writing on the drawing paper.
The whole square was indeed too noisy, with cheerful music and fireworks. The physical temperature is close to 40 degrees, indicating that this is the hottest summer in country F in decades.
Suddenly, Bashir took out a bottle of lemonade from his backpack, unscrewed the cap that could be used as a cup, filled the cap with water, and handed it to Daphne.
At the same time, she took two sips from the drink bottle and signaled Daphne to drink the water in her hand.
The lemonade bottle is specially made, and the drug is hidden in the lid.
Daphne held up the glass of water, nodded to express her gratitude to Bashir for his thoughtfulness, and was about to drink it.
Rosanna suddenly reached out and knocked the water glass over on the ground, shouting hysterically to Bashir:
"When you see a pretty girl, you ignore me. This is our first date!" Rosanna said as she angrily ran out of the crowd.
Bashir was stunned for a moment and quickly chased Roxana out of the sight of the sisters.
After the pair of boyfriend and girlfriend walked away, the two Daphne sisters recovered from their surprise and couldn't help laughing.
As if she had won a beauty contest, Daphne spread her hands, shook her body triumphantly, and made a naughty face to her cousin.
In the distance, the petite Rosanna said to Bashir seriously:
"You disobey orders and kidnap a Liang countryman at will, so you can avenge your brother? Is that called bravery?"
"Compared with your brother, you are far behind!"
