Chapter 773: The Unknown Soldier
Yang Yi imagined various scenes when Brian and Anastakina met, and one of the most likely ones was that the two hugged each other tightly and were silent for a long time.
But that clearly does not seem to be the case now.
Anastakina looked elegant and calm, and she was a little too calm.
Let's just say, it's not normal to meet at the tomb of the unknown soldier, if it is a pair of lovers who are longing for each other, how can they meet in such a place.
Both Anastakina and Brian looked at each other.
Anastakina had a faint smile on her face, and the frenzy on Brian's face was fading until he was calm.
After waiting for decades of love and insisting on decades of faith, it doesn't seem so strong now.
After an opening sentence, both of them fell silent, and after the two looked at each other for a full minute, Brian finally whispered, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine."
There was no new conversation, but after Anastakina said that it was okay, she hesitated for a moment, and then she shook her head again and said, "It's not good, in fact, I've had a very bad time all these years, what about you?" How are you doing all these years? β
You okay? I'm fine, what about you? I am fine too.
This is a normal question and answer, but after Brian asked Anastakina, he fell into a long contemplation.
"I've been ...... all these years It would have been fine, but now, I'm not sure, well, I've had a bad time all these years, you know, life in the black prison is certainly not going to be good. β
Anastakina glanced at Yang Yi and them, then smiled, "The person you brought?" β
Brian also glanced back, and then he said with emotion: "Yes, the person I brought." β
Yang Yi knew that Brian's heart must be very cold now, because Anastakina's performance didn't look like seeing lovers anyway, especially when she saw lovers who had been separated for decades.
Well, how can the KGB believe it, especially to believe that a KGB swallow will fall in love with his target, this is simply a ridiculous joke.
Anastakina looked at Brian again, and after looking Brian up and down, she whispered, "Where's your hair?" β
Brian reached out and touched the top of his head, and said with emotion: "My hair has left me mercilessly, because I am old." β
"It's not because you're old, it's because you have the gene for hair loss."
Anastakina is also old, but she is still in good shape, unlike the usual bloated Russian aunts of her age, her face can no longer be called beautiful, and there are already a lot of gray hairs in her hair.
But the old Anastakina is elegant, very temperamental, no longer youthful, but still beautiful.
Anastakina reached out and stroked her hair, and then she whispered, "We are all old. β
Brian said with a distracted face, "Yes, we're all old......"
Anastakina chuckled, "Someone called me and asked if I would like to meet someone named Brian, I knew it was you, but I really didn't expect to see you again one day." β
Brian smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, under normal circumstances, I should have died, even if I didn't die, it would be impossible to leave the prison again, even if I escaped from the prison, it would be impossible to see you, I believe this is God's will, he wants me to see you again, so I came." β
Anastakina pursed her lips slightly, then she took a breath and whispered, "I have mixed feelings about you. β
Brian simply stopped talking at this point.
It's over, everything is over, Brian knows, Yang Yi knows, Kate and Xiao Ran also know.
How could a KGB swallow fall in love with his own target.
Anastakina continued plainly and elegantly: "You are my first target and my only mission, I have been trained for seven years, but after successfully plotting against you, my mission is over, and my spy career is over. β
Brian sighed softly, and then he said with a gloomy face: "That is, it's all fake......"
Anastakina shook her head, and then she looked at Brian and said helplessly: "Sometimes I really wonder how you became the captain of Pandora, didn't the CIA test your psychological quality?" β
Brian twisted his face away, and after he was silent for a while, he turned his head back and said in a low voice: "My mental quality is not bad, but if I make a mistake in you, I make a mistake......"
"As a spy, isn't it enough to make a mistake once?"
Brian was speechless.
Anastakina said softly: "Actually, you are a very naΓ―ve person. β
Brian smiled miserably, then he raised his hand, waved it weakly, and then whispered, "Should I turn around and leave quietly, or should I hug you before leaving?" β
Anastakina shook her head and smiled, then she looked at the ever-bright flame in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Brian's face was as dead as ashes, he looked at Yang Yi, there was no life in his eyes, and then he made a gesture to signal Yang Yi that it was time for them to leave.
At this moment, Anastakina whispered: "I personally sent you to prison, and then I returned to the country as a meritorious person, because of your special status, I don't have to continue to perform any tasks abroad, so I was arranged to become a teacher in the foreign language department of Moscow University." β
Brian spun back again.
Anastakina sighed and said, "My spy career is destined to be used only once, just once, after sending you to prison, in fact, I also went to prison, but your prison has walls, and my prison has no walls." β
Brian whispered: "Isn't the KGB very preferential to those who have done great things to him." β
Anastakina chuckled softly, and then she continued: "This is the first time I've come here, come to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to have a look, do you know why? β
Stretching out her finger and pointing to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Anastakina said with a calm face: "From the moment I became the KGB, I booked a place here, no one knew my name, no one knew what I did, and at the moment of the collapse of the Soviet Union, I was officially buried here, I am still alive, but my youth and my heart are buried in it." β
Anastakina withdrew her right hand, she carried her satchel in both hands, turned to look at Brian, and said calmly: "No one likes to see their own cemetery, and I don't like it, so this is my first time here." β
Brian was confused, he didn't know what the hell was going on in Anastakina's mind.
Anastakina stared at Brian for a moment, then she reached out again and brushed her hair and smiled: "You are the first and only one I want to rebel against, which means that you are the only person I have ever loved, and I am here to see you, and by the way, to remember and pay tribute to myself." β
