After saying goodbye to Zhan Jingyi happily, Li Wanting walked into the hotel lobby with a smile and walked to the elevator. She turned her head and looked at the door of the hotel and found that he was still standing at the door, staring blankly at her back. .
Li Wanting covered her mouth and smiled, waved goodbye to him, and walked into the elevator.
When the elevator door closed, the smile on her face began to disappear, and at the same time, the ringtone of the satellite phone in her bag also began to ring.
But Li Wanting didn't answer the phone right away. Instead, she got off the elevator, walked down the long corridor, and went straight back to her room.
After entering the room, he kicked off the black stilettos on his feet, then went to the bathroom, took off his makeup, took off his black dress, and changed into some fitting home clothes.
Then he poured himself a glass of water, sat silently on the sofa in the room, looked at the night scene outside the window, and seemed to be thinking about something. Just like that, he was quietly lost in thought for a long time.
"Jingle Bell……"
Suddenly, the landline phone in the room rang with a short ringtone, as if someone was constantly urging her to answer the phone.
When she heard the phone ringing, Li Wanting took a deep breath, picked up a piece of hotel letterhead beside her, crumpled it into a paper ball, and flicked it out with her fingers.
The paper ball hit the hands-free button of the phone, and a slightly cold voice sounded in the room: "Why don't you answer the phone?"
Li Wanting put her feet on the sofa, supported her head with one arm, and lay on the sofa with her whole body. She said lazily: "What? I'm having a meal with someone, do I have to report all the time?"
"You should know why you are asked to accompany him to dinner. Is your mission completed?"
The person on the phone was a female voice, which sounded like Wen Siyu. She said: "From this Qingyang Town incident, we can see that even if the War King has not experienced the second stage of strengthening, the strength that broke out at that moment It has reached the third stage. This situation has never been seen before, so we must be very cautious about him. What did you feel during this close contact? ?"
Li Wanting was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then said after a while: "He is a very good person."
"Your answer seems irrational."
Wen Siyu on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said softly: "You know I can hear your conversation. This time you came to Chuncheng, it was originally to let you get in close contact with her, so that you can make stability against the King of War. assessment and observe his true inner thoughts.”
"But it seems that you did not perform the task very well. If you asked him in the end, it is very likely that he would become suspicious of you."
Li Wanting just listened to the voice on the phone quietly and did not make any refutation of Wen Siyu's doubts.
…
Wen Siyu did not wait for Li Wanting's answer. She was silent for a while, and then suddenly added in a surprised tone: "Junior sister, you are not in love with him, are you??"
"call……"
Li Wanting blushed a little when she heard Wen Siyu's words. She pulled her hair with some distress and said, "I don't know either..."
She said helplessly: "I have never been in love, I don't know, and the closeness I have with him now is also your arrangement, with too much deliberateness, I am not sure whether it is my true thoughts. "
"Compared to your designs and principles, I would rather approach him with my true self."
"Perhaps your plan was wrong from the beginning. What exactly do you want me to do?"
"Contact him as a girl, accompany him when he feels lonely, and comfort him..."
"Even finally getting him to fall in love with me?"
"Then have you ever thought about whether he likes Ellie more if he compares Ellie with me??"
"Moreover, I am the leader of the research team, and I am mainly responsible for research. If I am needed to study the King of War, I will be very happy, but if I am asked to be a close woman, I am afraid I will not be able to do the job."
Listening to Li Wanting's various complaints, Wen Siyu's voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.
Then he replied somewhat coldly: "Since you are the leader of the research team, you should know how unstable the current War King is and how important it is to the Federation. If possible..."
"Even if I need to sacrifice, I will not hesitate, so, junior sister, don't complain."
"After all, mutants, especially those as powerful as the King of War, cannot be restrained like soldiers or agents. They hold the most powerful power in the world, and we must be on guard against them."
"That's why the teacher and I tested him again and again, just to thoroughly understand his status and wishes. This is also some necessary insurance measures for the insurance period."
"You should completely understand this. Never let your emotions cover up your rationality."
…
"Okay, I admit, you are right. I have always thought so before."
Li Wanting seemed to be thinking about what to say. She sighed softly and said slowly: "But after my contact with the King of War during this period, I don't really support this idea now."
"First of all, from a personal level, King War is a kind and sincere person. He loves life and cherishes every life. This kind of person, even if he becomes an extremely powerful mutant, is willing to abide by the laws of the Federation. The regulations, everything that’s required, is enforced according to the rules, and that’s the real reality.”
"If it is such a person, we will try our best to plot against him. If he sees through it, it may be easier to mess up the matter. Therefore, I prefer to treat him with a true face."
"Secondly, from a work perspective, the War King may not be as slow and dull as you think."
"Do you really think he can't feel the politeness and deliberate closeness between me and him??"
Wen Siyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "I admit that you are right, but we have no malice, we are just conducting necessary tests, not to mention... I can feel it. Yes, he seems to like you a little bit."
"Different……"
Li Wanting gently raised her hand, shook it irritably, and said, "I don't even know how to describe it."
"In the process of communicating and interacting with me, he was a little too polite. This is untrue..."
"If we continue this way, the most likely possibility for him and me is to become very good friends of the opposite sex, not that kind of boyfriend and girlfriend."
"You did get close to him during your mission, but that was just to understand and analyze his status."
At this time, Wen Siyu's voice on the other end of the phone began to become serious: "If you care so much about his opinion, you may fall into another misunderstanding."
"You need to understand that you are not just facing a person, but a powerful person with abilities."
"In other words, he is a person with mental problems."
"Only rational words and careful arrangements can make things go in the direction we all expect."
…
As she talked, Li Wanting's irritability became more and more obvious, and she said impatiently: "These rational arrangements you mentioned will only make me and him more and more alienated and indifferent."
She seemed to have thought about this question many times and almost blurted it out.
After hearing her words, Wen Siyu on the other end of the phone said calmly: "Junior sister, don't get caught up in it. Moreover, this arrangement does not mean that we have any ill intentions towards him."
Li Wanting immediately retorted: "I still think that the communication with the King of War should be more real. This will be good for both us and him!"
Wen Siyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about it. After a long time, he said: "Let's discuss this issue again. I will also submit the recording of the exchange just now to the teacher and Mr. Mou, and they will also have suggestions."
"What I need to know now is, from your observation, will he have an impact on our plans?"
Li Wanting took a long breath, and after a long time, she said softly: "He is a person who truly loves life, what do you think?"
Wen Siyu on the other end of the phone did not speak, and there was a swishing recording sound.
During this gap, Li Wanting suddenly sighed softly and said, "Do you know what I feel the saddest right now?"
"Many of us clearly don't believe in mutants, but we have to force ourselves to believe..."
"Furthermore, everyone has forgotten that we are also mutants. The difference from King War and others is that we are mutants created by the federal government's human intervention, while they are mutants created by nature."
"Just because of this difference, do we need to guard against them like thieves?"
"The most basic trust in people's interactions has been completely lost. How can we make them truly return home if this continues?"

PS: Li Wanting is tempted. I'm wondering when should Zhan Jingyi be singled out?
How about a female protagonist? Or should we take Ellie together?
