"It's the fifth day, and I think there's a limit to everyone's endurance. ”

Tai Zhiyuan didn't hide the worry in his heart with a calm gaze today, and stared directly at Steward Jin in front of him, reminding the other party that the deadline for the Charter Bureau to confirm the status of Xu Le's chip has passed for a long time, and he has not yet received a definite answer.

"I'm very sorry, young master. Steward Jin couldn't seem to believe the answer he got from the Charter Bureau, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said in a more appropriate way: "But there is indeed a problem with the chip confirmation work on the side of the Charter Bureau, and the identities of the security personnel who died in the gymnasium and the military bandits who died have been confirmed, but ...... Reputedly...... When confirming the Xu Le chip, there happened to be a small problem with the cloud computing program of the central computer. ”

"What's the problem?" Tai Zhiyuan also felt a hint of surprise.

"I don't know, and neither do the charter scientists and staff, but the fix for this problem is said to be a single surname, and it probably happens every once in a while, and it is still impossible to figure out the pattern of this problem. Steward Jin smiled and said, "It will take about six days to repair, and then you will know where Xu Le is...... The good news is that at least we now know that he is alive. ”

......

......

Knowing that Xu Le was still alive, Tai Zhiyuan's mood suddenly became relaxed, although he was shocked by how Xu Le survived the attack of the mecha and those professional soldiers that day, and he was even more puzzled by his subsequent disappearance, but Tai Zhiyuan was finally in the mood to deal with things related to him.

Steward Jin looked at the mobile phone screen in his hand and reported in a very steady voice: "Vice Minister of Defense Yang Jinsong died of a heart attack in an emergency, and his body is cremated today, and the Minister of Defense nominated Zou Yingxing to take over the post of Vice Minister, which has been approved by the President's Office and the Security Affairs Committee. ”

Tai Zhiyuan leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, thinking about the political fluctuations in the distant capital in the past few days, and his mood gradually calmed down. Zou Yingxing's direct promotion from the post of deputy director of logistics of the Ministry of National Defense to vice minister was obviously unusual, but this appointment did not meet any resistance within the political axe, and the politicians in the capital made great concessions in these respects in order to appease the anger of the Tai family.

However, Mrs. Tai does not seem to have any intention of stopping there, at least until this case is fully investigated, the upper echelons of the federation will inevitably experience countless conflicts and compromises again, and more people must pay a heavy price. This assassination incident is too crazy, if the Tai family does not react strongly enough, Tai Zhiyuan, as the sole heir, will have a hard time in the Federation in the future.

Just when Tai Zhiyuan was silently thinking about his future, Steward Jin had already compiled the most important events in the Federation in the past two days into an entry report, and then the old butler leaned slightly and said: "Young Master, we must plan for the worst, if Mr. Xu Le really unfortunately passes away, we should always inform his relatives." ”

Tai Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Xu Le once talked to me, he doesn't have any relatives in this world, and he doesn't even have many friends...... The corners of his lips curled slightly and smiled bitterly: "It's a very poor guy." ”

Zhang Xiaomeng and ...... Do you want to give me a message over there?" Steward Jin said, there are not many people in the Federation who really know about Shi Qinghai's identity as a spy, including Tai Zhiyuan and Steward Jin.

Tai Zhiyuan fell into deep thought, and the tips of his eyebrows slowly tightened together, because these two names thought of another thing, he went to listen to Jian Shui'er's concert, where did this news leak from? Vice Minister Yang committed suicide, and the clues on the military's side had already been broken.

His tightly knit eyebrows suddenly flattened, and he said indifferently, "No." ”

......

......

The building of the Linhai Prefecture Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was brightly lit, and Shi Qinghai, who had smoked three cigarettes in a row in the coffee room, walked to the pool and patted his cheek with cold water, so that his haggard spirit was a little better, pushed open the door, and walked in the direction of the identification department.

For the sake of the reconciliation agreement between Councillor Pabul and the [***] Army, he served as a bridge and information channel, in the dozens of days before the New Year, he was under heavy pressure, extremely busy, and his spirit was already very compromised, and the incident in the gymnasium on the first day of the new year made the entire field office nervous like never before.

Not all federal officials know the inside story of this assassination, but after all, this vicious incident happened in Linhai Prefecture, so the Linhai Prefecture Field Office will inevitably take on a lot of work.

Shi Qinghai's four sections actually don't need to do much work, because until now, they have not found that this incident has anything to do with the [***] military forces in the S2 region, and their main task is to filter the large amount of information and intelligence that was monitored in Linhai Prefecture in advance, and try to find out what clues from it.

But Shi Qinghai is still in extremely bad spirits because he has been worrying about someone.

"A1—419 Exhibits. Shi Qinghai walked outside the warehouse of the forensic department, said to the staff behind the glass curtain wall, and handed over a evidence collection form.

The staff checked the signatures on the form in detail and checked the electronic secondary authentication on the internal work network before slowly getting up and walking towards the warehouse. The staff member did not know why Chief Shi was so interested in this piece of evidence, and asked for it several times in a row. However, this evidence is not important for the gymnasium case, it is just a modified military electric thorn, and the really key evidence has been sent to the forensic office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the capital three days ago.

Shi Qinghai took the military thorn sealed in the vacuum bag, said thank you calmly, and returned to his office. He closed the door to his office, and began to stare at the rough-looking, but cleverly designed military thorn in the bag.

In the case file of the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium case, Xu Le's existence was intentionally or unintentionally covered up by some people, even at Shi Qinghai's level, it should not be possible to know that Xu Le had appeared in the gymnasium.

But Shi Qinghai knew that because at twelve o'clock in the New Year, he was drinking happily with Xu Le in the bar, and at the same time heard the other party happily say that he would go to see Jian Shui'er with the prince of the Tai family tomorrow.

He is a friend of Xu Le, no, a brother.

So he knows a lot of things about Xu Le, such as Xu Le's strong technical strength, such as Xu Le's interest and talent in mechanics. He stared at the military spur in the bag, confirming that Xu Le must have been involved in this matter, and played an extremely important role in it. Because it is clearly written in the transcript that this military thorn has already fired an arc and finally appeared in the throat of a militant.

The militant was the deputy captain of the special company of the coastal garrison.

Shi Qinghai's private phone rang, and a light voice came from the other end of the phone: "The dean is dead." ”

Shi Qinghai's body stiffened slightly, knowing that the teacher was talking about Dean Yang, the current vice minister of national defense, but this news has been seen in the news, and he has nothing to do with the high-ranking big man, at most, he once shook hands with the other party during the graduation ceremony. He didn't understand what the teacher meant by making this call.

"Be a little more careful lately. "I always feel as if something is wrong. ”

Shi Qinghai didn't speak, hung up the phone directly, and after a moment of silence, he began to dial Xu Le's phone number again, but it was still an unreachable voice.

......

......

It's still an unreachable sound.

Zhang Xiaomeng put down the phone in her hand a little lonely, walked among the snow trees in the pear orchard, tilted her head, and looked at the rooms at the iron gate suspiciously. I haven't seen Xu Le for several days, and I don't know where this guy has gone.

Although she served as a member of the Medellín Council, she had no idea what was going on at the gymnasium, only that Xu Le went to a concert and suddenly disappeared.

"It's not that I was fascinated by Jian Shui'er and went to her house to be a flower farmer. Zhang Xiaomeng smiled self-deprecatingly, but the worry in her heart became heavier and heavier. She suddenly thought of what the girl in the bedroom next door had read in a gossip newspaper two days ago...... A cold wind blew, and her body was suddenly extremely cold, and she suddenly turned around and walked towards her bedroom, she wanted to find out what happened that day.

......

......

Xu Le is indeed a very lonely person, living to be almost twenty years old in the Federation, but in the sea of tens of billions of people, there are only three people who care about his life and death, and his safety. Unfortunately, he didn't know the sincerity of the three friends at this time, because he was still in a coma.

He's dreaming.

In the underground parking lot of the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium, he fainted in the gray space full of burnt smell, bloody smell and wet smell, and fell heavily to the ground, and Xu Le fell into a coma.

Maybe it was the excessive use of the power in his body, or maybe it was the heat flow in his body at the end, which caused some damage to the camouflage chip on the back of his neck, in short, the sharp pain instantly knocked him down and let the boundless darkness surround him.

There was no consciousness in the darkness, no concept of time, I don't know when, a bright light suddenly flashed in the darkness, and suddenly, without leaving, woke him up from his coma and entered a strange dream.

In the dream, there are no green grasslands, galloping bison, familiar mines, drowsy twilight, worried faces, only boundless white light, circulating in some strange way in the space in front of you. Sometimes these white rays are connected into a straight line through the end, sometimes these white rays automatically truncate into countless shining fragments, and sometimes these white rays turn into a dot that constantly expands towards the surrounding space.

Xu Le in the dream looked at these strange scenes unconsciously, and then found that these white lights turned into a line of words that he could understand against a dark background.

"Establish an unsolicited connection, or not?"
