The CC1000 express train is running on the bright summer plains. Looking at the vast sky, my eyes are stinging. The breeze flows from the dark green to golden fields and blows into the red pine forest, making the leaves rustle and sing.
Under the water-washed sky, the whole world looked green and verdant. White windmills were turning on the hillside. The rumble of the train passing through the railway track blew far along the winding miscanthus. People far away from the edge of the city occasionally looked up. Looking for the sound, I only saw Illinois in the summer, washed away by the rain and clear skies. Those rumbling sounds were like whispers from another world.
When the train rushed into the red pine forest, everything fell into silence again. The squirrels stood on the branches and watched the steel giants rumble past. The accustomed little animals never panicked, but occasionally stopped and raised their teeth to bite the grass blades. Head view.
Xia Wang, who was standing in front of the train porthole, clung to the glass and looked at everything outside the window novelly and quietly. Also staring out the window was Shao Nanqin, who was sitting opposite him. Those green fields and vast dense forests were displayed outside the window like oil paintings. But in Shao Nanqin's eyes, he could only see his slightly haggard reflection in the car window glass.
Yes, that's how it should be. No matter who they are, they will be as haggard and lost as she is if they encounter such weird and strange things and see such a bizarre world. No matter what scenery we witness or what novelty we feel, everything will return like a boomerang to the sudden and helpless separation of that day.
A cup of hot coffee was placed on the table, and the rising white steam flickered in the flickering light from the dense forest leaking into the porthole. Shao Nanqin came back to his senses and saw the coffee, and subconsciously wanted to say thank you, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the person who brought the coffee, Lin Nian in a dark green school uniform.
She lost consciousness immediately, and swallowed the thanks in her mouth. Even the black color of the cup of coffee in her sight, which should represent the sweetness of caramel, became deep and abominable. The thick black color was like the whole world. All kinds of black were boiled into it.
Another hand came in and took a quick sip of the coffee on the table. It was Xia Mi, wearing the same school uniform as Lin Nian, with the school badge of Yggdrasil on the collar. She was drinking coffee with a cup in her hand. Holding the handle of another ceramic cup, she said, "Sister Su Xiaoqiang said that what she needs now is to rest. Drinking less coffee and more milk can help her sleep and calm her mind."
"I don't want to drink." Shao Nanqin expressed to Xia Mi as politely and calmly as possible.
"Have you slept more than eight hours these days? You haven't eaten much, and you can't stand it." Xia Mi reminded.
"But at least I'm still a human being." Shao Nanqin said.
"So aggressive!" Xia Mi groaned, put the milk in front of Shao Nanqin, and then glanced at Xia Wang, who was lying on the porthole looking intently outside the train, and sighed silently.
Shao Nanqin looked at the changed color of the hot drink but still had no desire to drink it. At this time, Lin Nian, who had been silent, spoke: "The terminal station of this train is not an execution ground. Your life safety is guaranteed. Don't think about it." too much."
Xia Mi looked at Lin Nian, dumbfounded and hesitant to speak. He could only tug on Lin Nian's sleeves to tell him to pay more attention to what he said. How could a comforting person speak like this?
Lin Nian glanced at Xia Mi, nodded, and then changed his words: "...Of course, it won't be a prison cell. As far as I know, the secret party has always been very tolerant of ordinary people's policies. I probably want to restrict your freedom. Check what you, as an ordinary person, have seen and heard, and your life safety can basically be guaranteed."
"Yes, yes, it's really nothing. In fact, you are not the only one who was forced to be taken back to the academy for examination and questioning. My brother is also one of them." Xia Mi helplessly looked at Xia Wang, who was sitting opposite Shao Nanqin, and said, "Although I repeatedly told the people at the college that he was not involved in the incident and had no knowledge of it, but he was still taken back by force. Some things are really not decided by us students. It can be said that the one who really wants you to go is The people above us."
"This matter will be over soon. There is no need to panic. You will be returned to the country safely and nothing will change after that." Lin Nian said.
"Nothing will change? What are you saying? Nothing will change?" Shao Nanqin raised his head and looked directly at Lin Nian. She wanted to pull Xiawang
Let's go together, but now any excessive movement will be a trigger in this carriage.
"It has happened, and the nature of the matter itself is obvious to all." Lin Nian said, "You know very well what you are helping. After those people explained the existence of the Dragon Clan to you afterwards, you also understood this." The nature of the incident was terrible and the decision you made was wrong. It's the best outcome for you to be sitting here now, otherwise what else do you expect? We all died in Chicago, you and the dragon Are you going to take a United flight back home and continue living your seemingly peaceful life, but in fact it’s like a ticking time bomb that’s been counting down?”
Afterwards, Lin Nian paused and said calmly, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, you have been on United Airlines' list of dishonest people. If you want to return to China, I may need to book you a flight on another airline. I I will remind the academy."
I wonder, senior brother, did you make a mistake? You are also full of aggression. Xia Mi on the side looked dumbfounded. She thought that Lin Nian next to her would comfort the girl who lost her sister in a nice way. Even if her attitude was bad, she should at least use an official tone and keep a poker face as a stake... But What's going on with this aggressive response? Aren't you just thick rice who came out of an orphanage?
Shao Nanqin stared at the boy motionless, and the other boy looked back at him indifferently, with such intense eyes that reminded people of the burning red eyes behind the white light on the gaming table on the superyacht that night. There was a certain piece of her heart. The place twitched, and the momentum slowly dissipated. He lowered his head and whispered, "Lin Nian, tell me, is Nanyin still alive?"
Xia Mi also turned to look at Lin Nian at this time. She seemed to care about the answer to this question.
No one knows what happened that night. The superyacht’s fireworks bloomed in the sky late at night. However, under that beautiful night scene, the real protagonists of the stage play were eagerly looking forward to the ending in the port dozens of kilometers away. . However, in the end, they only welcomed Lin Nian, who came back with the man named Cheng Shuangfan on his shoulders, and nothing else.
Xia Mi still clearly remembered that no matter how fiercely the several members of the UII team who came down from the fifth floor asked what happened, even the sniper named Zoe rushed into the cabin and shot the large-caliber The deadly sniper rifle muzzle was afraid of hitting Lin Nian's forehead. Lin Nian, who was carrying the man on his shoulders, didn't answer them even a word from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, Su Xiaoqiang took the lead and put the muzzle of the gun on the temple of the female sniper. In a flash, he raised the gun and pointed it at Su Xiaoqiang and Lin Nian.
Su Xiaoqiang raised his gun, so everyone in the UII team raised their gun immediately, so Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi who later arrived at the scene also raised their guns. The scene was like a muzzle-to-muzzle scene in a TV series. It’s a vulgar stalemate, but when you are immersed in it, you can really feel the suffocation of death being only one step away from you. After all, TV dramas often put down the gun in the form of reconciliation, and few directors can actually film it. That kind of shocking flesh-and-blood explosion (Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is a counter-example).
In a situation that was close to freezing point, a man in a trench coat from the UII team asked Su Xiaoqiang, "Do you know what you are doing now?" Do you want to rebel?
Su Xiaoqiang immediately replied, "Actually, I don't know what happened, and I don't know if I want to rebel, but I only know that your companion is pointing a gun at my people, and I also know that if there is a fight later, Then I will shoot faster than you. If anyone’s head is going to be smashed, then hers will be the first to be smashed. (As he spoke, he pressed the muzzle of the gun against Zoe’s temple). If you really have the guts, we will I don't mind trying it, and I think my companions don't mind either.
Xia Mi clearly remembered how confused she was at that time. Although she didn’t know the specific situation, her female intuition told her that whoever raised a gun wanted to kill the senior sister who took her shopping at the Chicago Duty Free Store and bluntly said that she paid for everyone’s purchases today. , then she’ll just fuck whoever it is and be done with it!
At that time, the situation was really just a hair away from detonating. When Su Xiaoqiang said those words, while Chu Zihang raised the gun, his other hand had already grasped the throwing knife in his sleeve. Golden Eyes silently searches for the character who poses the greatest threat.
On the other hand, Lu Mingfei on the side looked like he probably wanted to say, "Um, actually I really
I'd like to mind, can you all talk nicely...", but because he was exhausted for some reason, he couldn't say anything at that time, and he simply raised his gun to express his position as if he was resigned to his fate.
The hybrids under the banner of the secret party are facing each other with swords, and it seems that they will soon be fighting each other.
But at this time, the bright spotlights of helicopters shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the superyacht. Three helicopters surrounded the Anthe's fourth-floor casino from all directions. Soldiers wearing special explosion-proof suits descended from the sky and blasted the floor-to-ceiling windows. Rolling into the ship, amid the eardrum-piercing propeller noise and the roar of action instructions, no fewer than dozens of green lines from laser sights were aimed at everyone.
The dark helicopter hanging outside the yacht is painted with "Chi Gold Grenade Launcher" FNSCAR. The dark extended magazine is also full of 7.62 mm large-caliber mercury core warheads. As long as someone really messes up, what will happen? He could only be killed by heavy fire.
The regular army of the secret party entered the situation, and everyone put down their guns one after another. The female sniper and Su Xiaoqiang were the last to put down their guns. After Lin Nian finally said that their captain was not dead, the crisis was finally resolved after the shock passed. .
Then the captain of the Special Mobile Team walked in quickly through the broken window. After taking off his mask, the tough guy who was as cold as steel and with a face scarred by war immediately showed his documents to prove his identity, and coldly faced the UII team and Lin Announced in 2016, during this operation in Chicago, Norma assessed that the actions of both parties had crossed the red line of being out of control. An arrest warrant was issued personally signed by Von Schneider, the executive director of Kassel College. The transferred "Owlbird" team has the right to arrest and control everyone present. If you want to appeal or protest, please keep silent until you are escorted back to Kassel College and then apply again.
No one chose to arrest and protest on the spot. For this reason, "Owlbird, the leader of the team, and all the members had a lot of sweat on their tense faces under the masks, because they knew better than anyone else that the names on the arrest warrant meant a lot. It is of great significance to the secret party, and once a conflict occurs during the arrest process, the result will inevitably be tragic.
But fortunately, Lin Nian just put down Cheng Shuangfan from his shoulders at that time. In the eyes of Su Xiaoqiang and Chu Zihang, he reached out and asked the other party to put on handcuffs... But the captain of the mobile team stared at Lin Nian for a few seconds, which was very embarrassing. Waving his hand, he skipped this step. He just tilted his head slightly and signaled everyone outside the French window to go to the deck and helicopter to leave.
The matter came to an end here. All the conflicts, contradictions and unsolved mysteries were interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the special mobile team, which naturally included the captains of the UII team at the port, Lin Nian and Shao Nanyin. What happened in between, and why Lin Nian came back in the end despite the shock of Cheng Shuangfan, what happened to the blood on Lu Mingfei, and whether Shao Nanyin was dead or alive in the end... No one knows.
So much so that now, even if Lin Nian and his group board the CC1000 express train back to Kassel College, they are still under the strict control of the execution department. The last section of the carriage is full of "Owlbird, small team escort, just a formality." God still gave them freedom.
So Xia Mi is also curious about what Lin Nian did that night, but she has always managed her curiosity properly, because the person who really urgently needs to know the answer is still in the dark like her at the moment, and this person is naturally the person in front of her. Shao Nanqin is staring at Jia Linnian.
Shao Nanyin's life and death can directly answer all the above questions.
In response to Shao Nanqin's question, Lin Nian only gave a simple answer: "When the trial begins, you will know all the answers. Whether you accept or reject it is up to you. I only hope you can do well now." Mental preparation and self-regulation of body and mind, otherwise I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on until that time in your current state.”
Lin Nian said this, turned around and left this special car. Xia Mi also stood there without words and glanced at Shao Nanqin, who was in a state of despair, and Xia Wang, who was experiencing the super-fast train without any involvement. She couldn't help but Knowing that he was sighing for the first time, he turned around and followed Lin Nian back to their "waiting carriage".
