Bei'an, 1:00 am, Blue Harbor
Even though it was late at night, the lights of Blue Harbor were still bright. Lu Mingfei was walking on the streets of the scenic area, looking around with his hands in his sleeves. The lights in the cupboards of the business district illuminate the elegant doll models of different shapes. The gorgeous crystals and gorgeous costumes fill the empty scenic area, which actually adds a false sense that the fireworks are easily cold.
It is already late now, and there are no longer noisy pedestrians and tourists on the road in the evening, but the lamp fountains and the colorful lanterns on the trees are still dazzling and beautiful. Lu Mingfei feels a bit alone when walking on the street, but from time to time he meets The patrolling security guards are quite reassuring.
The temperature difference between morning and evening in Beigen is somewhat obvious. After dark, the heat of the day is not lost. This city has always been windy, and the temperature has reached 13°C, which is easy for people to catch a cold.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei bumped into Zero in the aisle before going out. The other party mentioned that it was windy outside, so he belatedly wrapped up an extra gray windproof jacket, otherwise he would be cold and runny nose while walking in short-sleeved shorts on the street. .
After walking around in the empty shopping district, Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and looked at the text message records. At 23:11, Lin Nian sent a message that seemed to be garbled. In other people's eyes, it was probably Maybe he clicked the wrong button or there was a bug in the text message on his phone, but Lu Mingfei knew very well that this thing was the text encryption of the execution department, and was often used to transmit some information that was inconvenient to appear on the Internet.
Lu Mingfei had read the encrypted book, which was thicker than a dictionary. There were thousands of text encryption methods written by Norma. It was basically impossible to memorize them by heart. The information could only be decoded through Norma's remote support. What he got after decoding Lin Nian's encrypted message was a simple address, which was the Blue Harbor where he was currently wandering.
But to be honest, Lu Mingfei felt that this was purely to guard against gentlemen and villains. Whether it was the evil forces suspected of being 'paco' or the orthodox local gangsters, an encrypted text message was of no use at all. If you can’t decipher the encrypted information, can’t you track it directly? Lin Nian may not be easy to track, but Lu Mingfei is different. His anti-tracking ability can be described as tragic.
In fact, if Lu Mingfei thought about it further, he would understand that Lin Nian's purpose of encrypting the meeting place was not really hoping to hide it from the orthodox.
It can be said that almost all their Internet communications and travel addresses in Bei'an must be monitored by Orthodoxy. This is a tacit understanding. Lin Nian still chose to encrypt the message once. In fact, he was just conveying a message to Zhengtong openly, that is, he did not want his meeting with Lu Mingfei to be monitored. This was indeed what Lu Mingfei believed to be "guarding against gentlemen but not against others." "Villain", whether Zhengtong will give him face or not is their business. Anyway, Lin Nian's attitude was conveyed first.
Regardless of whether Lu Mingfei could really think of it, he was still a little panicked when he walked so far alone to an uninhabited scenic area. When he left the hotel, he was sneaking around and bumped into Ling in the corridor. , Zero didn’t know if he had told anyone about him sneaking out.
After encountering an attack on the subway a few days ago, people like them are actually very nervous. A suicide attack that kills people in public can really represent some things. For example, it directly conveys the attitude of the person behind the scenes: If it is official, When the war begins, they will have no so-called bottom line, and when the time comes, they will not be able to defend themselves against those fatal attacks, even if they are armed with all kinds of weapons.
Lu Mingfei and the others could actually start to huddle up and investigate the origin of the group of dead soldiers and find out the plans of the mastermind behind the scenes, but unfortunately, as Lin Nian mentioned countless times, they did not have time. After coming to Beigan, Zhengtong's reaction and attitude also proved this.
Now the clue is on the subway line in Bei'an, and they were indeed attacked on the subway line, which gave them no reason to shrink back. The other party's reaction gave them a feeling that searching the subway was the right direction - of course not Excluding the other party's deliberate inducement at this time, several people discussed it all night after returning to the hotel that day, and finally came to the conclusion that they should not be timid.
In addition, Su Xiaoqiang applied to the Enforcement Department through Manstein to open an investigation into the missing commissioner of Bei'an. Sure enough, after exerting pressure, Norma actually found two commissioners who had still been disconnected from the headquarters, one was a man. One woman, named Wan Boqian and Gao Mi, their last mission before disconnection was to search for dragons along the subway line in Bei'an.
No one knows why they were given the task of entering the Beigai subway to search for dragons before the hunter website broke the news about the Dragon King's awakening in Beigai, but Wan Boqian's spirit "blood tie Luo" does prove that their purpose is correct. That's not what you call cover.
Now that the two people are missing in the Beigai subway, it means that the anecdotes Sima Xuxu told them at the dinner table that day were not groundless, so these days they have continued to search along the subway line, preparing to find out. Until the result.
But just taking the subway frequently and running around caused some minor troubles to Lu Mingfei. This is a story for another thing - what happened before meeting Lin Nian.
Lu Mingfei almost walked around most of the shopping area. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that he was being followed for a certain distance. However, he was not followed by orthodox or evil forces, but by the security comrades of the park. Probably with his own hands. The way he walks around with his hands in his sleeves and takes a look looks so much like a little thief preparing to buy something for zero yuan, otherwise who would be wandering around here at night?
Fortunately, before the security comrade was about to press someone, Lu Mingfei had already walked out of the shopping circle and came to the artificial lake of Blue Harbor. Here, rows of white pointed parasols set up by cafes stood on the lakeside, spotlighting Light pillars are pulled out from the wall of one side of the building from bottom to top, and bright yellow light strips are also pulled out on the stone piers by the lake, providing a soft and non-glaring warm yellow light.
It was here that Lu Mingfei finally found Lin Nian. This guy was sitting on a lakeside seat under one of the parasols. He was wearing a bomber jacket he got from nowhere. The wind by the lake blew his hair. Hu Dangdang looked a little messy, but he still couldn't hide his gaze as he glanced at the table. His hand on the table also tapped the screen a few times. It looked like he was typing back a text message or something. of.
I don’t know who this guy was texting with at night, but it wasn’t with him anyway. Lu Mingfei walked over with his hands in his pockets and a malicious look on his face. When he approached, Lin Nian raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to poke at his phone with his head lowered.
"If you don't sleep at night, you're making fun of me, right?" Lu Mingfei angrily pulled up a chair opposite Lin Nian and sat down. Then he found two cups of Starbucks hot drinks on the table, and then he touched them calmly. Passed a cup and smelled it - hot cocoa, damn, how did this guy know he wanted to drink this stuff.
"You're not the one who sneers at people like this. Aren't you the one who wants to talk about business?" Lin Nian turned the phone down and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was looking at the screen quietly, looking lonely.
"You're biting back. Didn't I say in the text message that it's no big deal?" Lu Mingfei complained.
"Huai Min hasn't gone to bed yet?" Lin Nian said, "If you stay up late at night and text me, I'll assume that you are in an emergency. There is no one else here, and there are no monitors. Tell me, did you scan and find something again? Which of my friends or old sweethearts is actually a dragon or something?"
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes hugely, "You can't blame me if I go there."
Lin Young smiled and said, "What's going on?"
Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Nian up and down with doubt in his eyes, "Why do I feel like you knew that I wasn't looking for you for business?"
"There are two states: whether you have something or nothing. In the text message, I default to the state that there is nothing urgent - referring to serious urgent matters, which should be personal matters. It is not good to communicate with Lancelot and Su Xiaoqiang. He said that he couldn’t hold it in any longer and could only send me text messages to complain.”
Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Nian with a strange look, "Did you get my manual or something?"
"You don't need an instruction manual to read it." Lin Nian picked up the matcha-flavored Frappuccino and took a sip, then frowned and glanced at the straw. He probably felt that his throat was burning and regretted buying the matcha-flavored one. Although he likes sweet ones, This thing is really a bit sticky for the throat and is not suitable for quick calorie replenishment.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head and lay on the back of the chair without saying a word, feeling a little embarrassed.
He didn't say a word, and Lin Nian didn't speak either. He just sat there blowing the lake breeze and looking at the city with lights behind the park on the lakeside in the distance. He had always been quite leisurely. As long as he wasn't in a hurry to get down to business, he could just sit there and sit there. One day, no one knew what he was thinking, he was just lost in thought.
Lu Mingfei also looked at the direction Lin Nian was looking at, and saw a strange scene. On the artificial lake, a girl with blond hair in white clothes was kicking and playing on the lake. She ignored gravity by stepping on the water and borrowing the help of the lakeside. The lights danced gracefully as if on a huge stage, dancing very casually, without fixed steps, showing off the graceful lines of the body and the pure and alluring charm.
"What is that?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Madman." Lin Nian said, "Don't watch if you don't want to be caught by a madman."
Lu Mingfei felt that having Lu Mingze by his side was enough, so he sighed and turned away.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. He has long known about the existence of the blond girl. Just like Lu Mingze, he tacitly agreed that this was the "devil" who belonged to Lin Nian. It was precisely because the two of them seemed to have the same characteristics. They share the same curse, so they trust and understand each other so much about certain things.
"What have you been doing lately, and you haven't taken the initiative to contact us. We are exhausted from running the subway every day." Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly.
"I can't say it." Lin Nian bit his tongue and glanced at Lu Mingfei, "It won't do you any good if I say it."
"How about you make up a reason to deceive us?"
"It's really hard to say." Lin Nian frowned while drinking a Frappuccino, "You can't say anything at all. If you do, problems will arise."
"I'm asking you to make up excuses. If you don't want to tell me, I won't tell you. Do you know what happened on the subway?" Lu Mingfei gave up on finding out. If Lin Nian didn't want to tell you, he really wouldn't tell you anything.
"I know, but I can't help. I'm stuck with other more troublesome things."
"Is it more troublesome than the Dragon King waking up?"
"Absolutely." Lin Nian said, "I suspect there is a connection between the two things. The most important thing is that even if I work with you on the subway, I won't be able to help much."
Lu Mingfei thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Lin Nian could only ride on the subway line with them from time to time when he got off the subway. It seemed to be the same with or without Lin Nian. Now there seems to be other clues on Lin Nian's side. Letting him follow another line may be the most appropriate strategy.
"Are you really serious?" Lin Nian suddenly asked.
Lu Mingfei saw Lin Nian staring at him and noticed something strange in his eyes. He looked away unnaturally and said, "What else can you say? Since you don't say anything and can't say anything, I can go back. It's daytime today I’m exhausted from riding the subway for another day and my back hurts. I’ll go back later to see if the spa is still open and if I can find a skilled technician to massage it on me.”
"Oh." Lin Nian said.
Lu Mingfei blinked and looked at Lin Nian, who was silent across from him, then slowly stood up and reached for a hot drink.
Lin Nian across from me nodded, "Let's go slowly without seeing you off. When you want to talk about relationships again, come see me again. Remember to make an appointment. It's very tiring to be a psychiatrist while I'm saving the world."
Lu Mingfei almost failed, and looked up in shame and anger at Lin Nian, who was obviously playing tricks on him. Then from the corner of his eye, he noticed the blond girl lying on the lake in the distance, beating the surface of the lake like crazy. It looked like she was laughing like crazy. , I don’t know how she heard the sound here from so far away.
