After the afternoon exchange activities ended, Tian Xichen finally made some time and went to Lin Ran's room.
The moment the door opened, endless thoughts were already flowing out of her eyes.
"Director Oda."
Lin Ran directly pulled Tian Xichen in, held her thighs with both hands, and lifted her up.
The elastic touch is fascinating.
Tian Xichen leaned his back against the door, hugging Lin Ran, and let out a warm breath from his red lips.
She looked at the face of the man in front of her and whispered, "I miss you."
It is indeed not easy for Tian Xichen, who has always been traditional, to say such a shy but straightforward expression. And the lethality caused by this contrast is simply tons!
When Lin Ran was about to block Tian Xichen's lips, the latter suddenly said
"You have to go to the officers' fraternity later, and there is a beautiful girl who wants to date you in public."
"Who is it? How dare you ask me out in front of Director Tian?" Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, but his hands were not very honest.
Being teased by Lin Ran's paw, Tian Xichen's pretty face turned even redder.
"Oh, don't move, time is running out." Tian Xichen said.
Lin Ran looked at the pretty red face of the girl in front of him, her watery gaze could make people melt into it, and he also deeply felt the girl's strong longing for him.
"It doesn't matter, I'll be quick." Lin Ran said.
…………
ten minutes later.
Lin Ran looked at the fair-skinned person in front of him and said, "Tell me, why does Bonita want to date me? Does she have a conspiracy?"
Tian Xichen faced the bed sheet, her pretty face was already red, and some hair stuck to her pretty face, making her even more charming.
She really couldn't concentrate on answering Lin Ran's questions now, and she really didn't know why at this juncture, Lin Ran could still discuss with her whether other women had conspiracies.
Tian Xichen doesn’t understand men.
Distraction at this time can make Lin Ran's state last longer.
"I don't know... I know..." Tian Xichen replied with difficulty.
Because she had to resist the power that Lin Ran continuously exerted on herself, it was difficult for her to say a complete sentence.
"This is not in line with Bonita's usual character..."
Lin Ran was thinking, but his movements did not stop. His physical condition was getting better and better because of his distracted thinking.
Naturally, Oda became increasingly unable to bear it.
Finally, ten minutes before the sorority party started, Lin Ran retreated.
Tian Xichen only had time to wash his face and straighten his hair, then quickly changed his clothes and left as if fleeing.
Fortunately, the party was held in the banquet hall of the hotel where they were staying. Lin Ran even took five minutes to take a shower before walking downstairs slowly.
Bonita has been waiting here for a long time.
To be precise, she was standing next to Tian Xichen in a white evening dress.
However, the bandage on the shoulder adds a different flavor to this evening dress.
This smell is extremely impactful to men who have been on the battlefield.
Even Admiral Nim was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can't tell it at all normally, but now Bonita, who has taken off her white coat, is actually very charming."
"Indeed, President Morand and his wife Darling are quite good-looking, and the daughter they gave birth to will definitely be very beautiful." Major General Black Hawk on the side also said with a smile, "It seems that Bonita will not catch up with Lin Fu."
Don’t give up yet.”
Admiral Nim said with a smile, "Although this is a bit inconsistent with Bonita's temperament, if it is really like this...this exchange will be interesting."
At this moment, Bonita was looking at Tian Xichen's pretty red face, and she always felt that something was wrong.
Because, at this moment, Director Oda's whole body exudes the most authentic scent that belongs exclusively to women.
It's an attraction that comes from the very core!
And this kind of temperament was something she had never shown when she was at Luccaton University in the afternoon.
Maybe others don't realize this, but Bonita's sixth sense is surprisingly sharp.
In scientific research, she is always able to discover details and new directions that others cannot discover, and this has always been the case in life.
"Miss Tian, why hasn't Major General Lin come yet?" Bonita asked.
Tian Xichen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Bonita, Major General Lin is changing clothes."
Although this sentence is true, it seems to be a bit hidden.
Director Oda has a very good brain, and she has never been stupid.
After hearing these words, Bonita's expression did not change at all, "Ms. Tian seems to know the details of Major General Lin's life very well."
"Yes, Major General Lin Ran and I have known each other for a long time. We are old friends who know each other very well." Tian Xichen said.
In fact, Director Oda has never been aggressive at all, but this Bonita has been aggressive from the moment she appeared, which made Tian Xichen want to fight back.
The eyes of many Black Hawk officers have fallen on Bonita. After all, the charm displayed by the latter at this moment is completely invisible in ordinary times, whether it is the smooth body lines or the cold but revealing face.
With her sexy face, it’s hard for people to take their eyes away. Morand has one-eighth of Eastern ancestry, and all of this proportion has been passed down to Bonita, which makes the charm revealed in her facial features different from that of most Black Hawk people.
At this time, Lin Ran appeared at the door of the banquet hall.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on him!
Admiral Nim's eyes immediately fell on Lin Ran's chest.
After he saw that the latter was not wearing the Bald Eagle Medal, the old general couldn't help but instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I almost had to salute again.
Bonita immediately walked over and said, "Mr. Lin."
Looking at the charming girl in front of him, Lin Ran was a little surprised. She didn't look like the same Bonita he saw at the dinner party!
"Bonita is dressed very beautifully today." Lin Ran smiled and said.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Lin."
Bonita also showed a smile, but it could be seen that she, who was always cold on weekdays, was not very skilled in the "smile" expression.
"You're welcome. I heard that Miss Bonita has a question for me?"
Lin Ran said, walked to Tian Xichen's side, took two glasses of red wine from the waiter's tray, handed one to Xiaotian, and took the other one in his hand.
Tian Xichen pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
There seemed to be a flower blooming in her heart.
"I'll go do some work first, and you can talk to Miss Bonita." Tian Xichen said and walked away.
Bonita looked at her empty hands, her eyes changed slightly, and asked, "Mr. Lin, won't you get me a glass of wine?"
However, she did not expect that Lin Ran said, "You are still injured, so don't drink."
There was a domineering connotation in this sentence, which made Bonita's heartstrings suddenly plucked.
Since I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, no one has ever spoken to me in such a strong tone.
And within this strength, there is also clear concern.
This feeling... is so special!
After a moment of silence, Bonita said softly, "Okay."
"So, Miss Bonita, what questions do you want to ask me?" Lin Ran asked.
With the other party pursuing her so fiercely, he thought that this woman was interested in him.
Unexpectedly, Bonita said, "Mr. Lin, I learned about what happened in the Black Sea, and I also know that you successfully returned from the Gate of the Netherworld, so you should have had contact with the power of the Netherworld, right?"
Lin Ran didn't expect that the other party was not talking about the love between children!
Ahem, he had a slight misjudgment of his own charm.
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you?" Bonita noticed something was wrong with Lin Ran's expression.
Lin Ran frowned, hiding his embarrassment, and then said, "Why did you mention the power of the netherworld?"
Bonita's next words were more straightforward, "Because, I have been researching a kind of robot recently. It cannot be driven with high efficiency using ordinary source power. However, if the power of the netherworld is used as power, the utilization efficiency is extremely high."
Lin Ran did not interrupt and continued to listen. The other party's words aroused his great interest and shocked him greatly.
"At Black Hawk National Laboratory, there is some reserve of Nether Power. However, even if the utilization efficiency of Nether Power is very high, the consumption of robots is still terrible. If I were allowed to experiment a few more times,
, I am afraid that it will directly use up all the Nether Power stored in the Federation." Bonita said.
As soon as she mentioned her professional field, her temperament began to change completely, and her whole person seemed to start to radiate more brilliance.
Especially those eyes are even more shining.
"So, you want to supplement the power of the netherworld?" Lin Ran asked.
"Yes, if these robots can possess enough Nether Power, then by using our implanted artificial intelligence for combat training, the individual combat effectiveness of each robot can be comparable to that of an A-level warrior." Bonita
said.
Lin Ran couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Comparable to an A-level warrior?
He didn't expect that the Black Hawk Federation would develop the robot's combat power to such an extent!
Not long after the Falcon fighters were equipped with source engines in Daxia, they had already developed to the stage of utilizing the power of the netherworld! What kind of precise structure does such an engine have to have?
If the Black Hawk Federation puts out a division of source robots on the battlefield, how can they fight? I'm afraid that if a large army of another civilization comes, it will be enough to drink a pot!
If this robot's individual combat power were stronger, would it be able to compete with S-class warriors?
Lin Ran suppressed the shock in his heart, shook his head, and said, "If you want to obtain enough Netherworld power, then the only way is to let the Netherworld Gate reappear in the world, but I cannot do this."
Bonita's eyes did not darken, and it seemed that Lin Ran's answer did not exceed her expectations. The girl continued, "Thank you, I understand, and besides..."
Lin Ran said, "Miss Bonita, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Mr. Lin, have you ever heard of the power of the starry sky?" Bonita's eyes changed again.
The temperature lit up, and a strong sense of yearning emerged from her eyes, and she said, "If this power can be utilized, then I think my robots can achieve permanent motion."
"The power of the starry sky?" Lin Ran narrowed his eyes after hearing this, "Black Hawk Federal National Laboratory, does it even store this kind of power?"
He instinctively didn't believe it.
Bonita shook her head, "No, I haven't really come into contact with this power. I just saw similar ideas in a classic in the Federal National Library."
"What classics can you take me to read?" Lin Ran asked.
A strong sense of curiosity had arisen in his heart.
"Of course, that book is called "Wonderful Power"." Bonita said, and then said, "The National Library is not far from here, and it is also open to the public at night."
"Wonderful power..." Lin Ran chewed on the title of the book and frowned slightly. "Could it be said that this book is a summary of all the sources of special attributes?" .??.
"Indeed, all the sources of power are introduced in detail in that book." Bonita said softly, "It's just a pity that this book belongs to the collection series of the Federal Library and cannot be borrowed or copied.
It can be read on the spot.”
Hearing this, Lin Ran's heart felt inexplicably.
What Lin Ran didn't know was whether his warmth would be written in this book!
So, what kind of genius must the person who originally wrote this book be?
"Follow me." Bonita directly took Lin Ran's wrist and walked outside.
The officers from the two countries in the banquet hall looked at each other in shock, their eyes almost falling out!
The Black Hawk Major General said with difficulty to General Nim, "General, is Bonita impatient to this extent? Did she drag Lin Ran into a room on the spot?"
Admiral Nim shook his head, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, "She's not even recovered from her injuries, so she's so anxious... I have to tell President Morand about this..."
…………
Bonita, who was wearing an evening dress, pulled Lin Ran into the car with great enthusiasm.
When she got in the car, she took off her high heels and stepped on the accelerator with her bare feet, which was quite cool.
"How about I drive it instead." Lin Ran said, "Your shoulder injury has not recovered yet."
Hearing this, Bonita's eyes moved slightly and said, "I can control the steering wheel with one hand."
She is also a Source Force warrior. Although her level is not high, this level of pain is still bearable.
However, Lin Ran's simple words of concern made Bonita feel that she was in a good mood, and it seemed that the pain in the injured area was further relieved.
"Mr. Lin, can we be friends?" Bonita asked.
She was a little surprised that she could ask this question, because usually, Bonita never had any friends.
She even felt that the word "friend" would only become a burden on her scientific research path.
But now, Bonita really wants to become friends with Lin Ran from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, Bonita actually had a glimmer of self-doubt - could it be that she wanted to be friends with this man just because this man was very powerful?
When did you become so utilitarian?
Bonita was analyzing her heart when she heard Lin Ran reply, "Of course we can become friends, you can just call me by my name from now on."
"Okay, Lin Ran." Bonita said.
She looked at the road ahead, her tone not so calm.
At this moment, it is already nine o'clock in the evening Blackhawk time.
The Black Hawk National Library is very large, and most of the study areas are still lit.
Bonita pulled Lin Ran in and walked in. Her high heels collided with the ground, and the sound of her footsteps could be heard far away in the quiet library.
Without any permission from any staff, Bonita directly swiped her library card, then led Lin Ran to open the transparent glass doors and walked straight into the depths of the library.
"I am a senior reader here, so the library card has very high authority." Bonita introduced as she walked, "Like some collections of books, only senior readers can enter."
The further you go into the library, the less people are around you.
And the library of the classic series that Bonita mentioned is actually still on the third underground floor.
Along the way, Lin Ran was also shocked by the amount of books in the Black Hawk National Library.
At this moment, the surrounding environment was extremely quiet, and only the sound of Bonita's high heels reached Lin Ran's ears.
Watching Bonita turn on the lights in one area after another, Lin Ran asked, "Do you usually come alone?"
In this quiet and cold environment, if the heart is not big enough, a grown man will feel a chill on his back in broad daylight.
"Yes, I come alone."
Bonita seemed a little confused as to why Lin Ran asked this.
Perhaps, for her who is full of scientific research, she doesn't even know what the word "fear" means.
"It's really amazing." Lin Ran said sincerely.
"It's right in front."
Bonita pulled Lin Ran and walked to a row of bookshelves.
Following the memory, I found the location of the book. > However, the label there is still there, but the book "Wonderful Power" is not where it is!
"How is this possible?" Bonita was surprised!
"Did someone borrow it?" Lin Ran asked.
"It will not be borrowed." Bonita shook her head. "This kind of book can only be used on the spot and has a time limit. Each reading must be strictly registered, and the entire reading process must be completed under the supervision of the librarian."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes, "In this case, there is no reason for this book to be missing...unless it was stolen by someone else."
Then, she walked to the reference desk nearby and said, "Let me take a look at the reading registration record of this book."
Her finger tapped on the screen, and then a line of records came into view.
This discovery shocked Bonita's body violently, and a cold air rose from her back!
"What's wrong?" Lin Ran came over immediately.
"A man named Jules borrowed this book just twenty minutes ago!" Bonita said.
"Why such a coincidence?" Lin Ran calculated the time and found that they had just parked their car in front of the library twenty minutes ago.
"According to common sense, this person should be watching in the reading area, but when we just passed by the reading area, there was no one there." Bonita recalled the time when she came all the way, and she was very convinced, "It's really a person.
No one is there!”
"So, this book has disappeared?"
Lin Ran squinted his eyes and thought of another possibility, "Could it be that this person secretly tore off all the magnetic strips on the book and took it out secretly?"
"No, everyone who comes out of the classics library must be searched. This is the treasure house of federal culture, and there has never been any mistakes." Bonita shook her head, her hands and feet were a little cold.
Indeed, what happened this time was so weird that no one could find the reason at all!
"So, let's check the surveillance." Lin Ran said.
He vaguely felt that this matter seemed to have something to do with him.
Could it be that he is being targeted again?
Or...that book really contains the answer to the secret of his own power, but some people don't want him to see it?
Lin Ran also felt a little scared in his heart.
This seemingly peaceful Black Hawk Federation actually has a lot of undercurrents hidden underneath!
"Okay, let's go to the monitoring room immediately." Bonita said, trying to take out her mobile phone and call her father, Morand.
However, when she was waiting for the call to dial, she remembered that all signals were blocked in this important place where the library was located!
This is also to prevent someone from secretly filming the classics and sending them out!
Afterwards, Bonita and Lin Ran quickly walked up the stairs together.
Since the high heels were in the way, Bonita took them off directly and carried them in her hands.
They didn't see the librarian along the way, and no one carried out the search that was supposed to be done when they came out of the library.
Lin Ran's feeling in his heart was getting worse and worse.
Regardless of deliberate targeting, there really are no such coincidences in the world!
When they arrived at the monitoring room, they found that the door was locked from the inside.
"Two steps back."
Lin Ran pulled Bonita behind him, then raised his foot and kicked the heavy door open!
"Ah!" Although Bonita has a relatively tough and calm temperament, after seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but screamed!
The two security personnel on duty in the control room were all slumped in their chairs at this moment, their heads drooped to the side!
And there were deep purple blood marks on their necks!
"Are they...are they all dead?" Bonita asked.
This girl's voice already had a slight tremor.
Indeed, no matter how calm he is usually, in this quiet night, being so close to the dead is really frightening.
In order to relieve Bonita's nervousness, Lin Ran took her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, we can investigate and find out the truth."
"Yes." Bonita responded softly, but she held Lin Ran's hand tightly with both hands and had no intention of letting go.
"Both of them were strangled from behind." Lin Ran stood at the door and did not go in to avoid damaging the environment.
Bonita asked, "Did two killers attack at the same time? Otherwise, the other victim must have had the opportunity to call the police..."
Lin Ran obviously had more experience in this area. He frowned and said, "It's still impossible to tell whether the strangulation marks were the direct cause of their death. It may also be that the scene was faked after death."
Bonita felt chills all over her body, but she still forced herself to calm down and said, "There is a signal here. Shall we contact the security bureau immediately?"
"That's fine."
Lin Ran agreed. After all, this was the Black Hawk Federation, a place he was unfamiliar with, and he did not want to take the initiative in this matter.
However, at this moment, the alarm bell behind them suddenly rang!
This area is all flashing with red light!
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "We must have been plotted."
