Three days have passed since sct failed in its action on the stock exchange.
Los Angeles metropolitan area, St. George area.
night.
The lights are bright, the lights are flashing, and the neon lights are dazzling.
In a pub closest to the police station, Gray meets with the Colin Eugene duo.
The antique bricks and old furnishings make this pub look rough. Because there is a football match today, all the customers can discuss the football match together. The business is quite good, there is a lot of people, and the seats are full.
The three of them were sitting in the corner of the tavern, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Eugene was only wearing a gray vest and hot pants, which was slightly revealing and attracted the attention of many customers. You could see a band-aid on the gunshot wound on his shoulder.
Because the vitality and recovery power of latent syndrome patients are quite abnormal, Eugene mainly did not want to leave scars, so he took protective measures.
Although Colin, whose Tarot cards suggest "the devil", looks haggard, this is caused by his bad living habits. The injury he suffered that day completely recovered after sleeping, and now he has no problem in free-handed rock climbing.
Although Eugene also smokes, he should not be too arrogant in front of Gray. Everything related to Gray must be quite formal. She is an unscrupulous and strict woman who is as strict as a robot.
Gray's attire has never changed. She is always ready for battle, with a jacket, tactical boots, and clothing that is easy for combat.
Eugene kicked Colin to tell him not to be too presumptuous, because Colin kept smoking there and didn't buy Gray's account at all.
Colin hated this woman very much. He had not died at the hands of SCT as many times as he had died at the hands of this woman. She also used extremely despicable means to install a locator on herself.
When the waiter comes to take your order.
Gray still ordered bourbon, but Eugene didn't like drinking much, so he chose the same whiskey as Gray.
Finally, the waiter looked at Colin with intriguing eyes.
Hold……
Colin took a long puff of cigarette and cursed secretly. If he had just ordered some ordinary spirits, he would still be looked down upon by these people. It was only because the two women were too cruel.
In fact, no one cares about what Colin wants. Even if he wants to drink soy milk or juice-type children's drinks, no one will have any idea.
"Dragon... agave, yes, agave, and some salt and lemon slices."
Colin shook his legs and said in a very pretentious manner.
Both Eugene and the waiter felt that Colin was indeed more masculine at this moment.
Because in the eyes of the people of Los Angeles, cocktails are something only sissies drink. Tough guys never do this, especially in such a low-consumption pub. This kind of atmosphere is even better. Adding some ice is normal, even if you drink some.
Energy drinks are also ridiculed.
This means that Colin will drink pure agave later, and he will use the most traditional and wild drinking method, pour salt on the tiger's mouth, take a quick lick, drink up the agave, and then bite
A slice of lemon adds a unique flavor.
The waiter took note and left.
"How did you dispose of Cohen's body?"
Colin asked Gray.
He had been a little uneasy the past two days. It was okay to kill the crazy scumbag SCT, but he knew Cohen's past, and he personally buried him, pushed him into a desperate situation, and committed suicide.
Cohen's desperate face before his death even appeared in Colin's dream and woke him up.
"He fell from such a high place and turned into a puddle of mud. It has no research value. Besides, the Countermeasures Bureau has no shortage of samples. He has been cremated and stayed with other unclaimed urns."
Gray guessed what Colin was thinking. After all, more than half a month ago, he was just a stockbroker.
There is currently a turbulent undercurrent, and the dark forces headed by SCT are ready to move. Now it is just a tentative confrontation. Time is running out, and Lei does not have much time to talk nonsense.
"I came to you this time because I have something more important to say."
"You have proven yourself and made a significant contribution in this attack, preventing the situation from deteriorating further and causing public panic. I now officially announce that you have become official agents of the 11th Section of the Countermeasures Bureau."
"Here are your new certificates, as well as the Medal of Honor for Valor awarded to you by the superior."
Gray took out the documents from the silver suitcase and put them on the table, adding: "You will no longer have restrictions on the scope of your activities, and you will also have further authority from the official system."
This put a lot of pressure on Eugene. He became an official agent and was afraid that he would not be able to fish in the future.
As for the shiny silver medal, she couldn't put it down. It was indeed a rare thing. In the past, it would be given to sergeants who made significant contributions during the war. It was estimated that it could be sold for a lot of money.
"Formal agent? What if I refuse?"
Colin did not accept the document like Eugene, he just left it there without even looking at it.
"You may not know what it means to be an official agent."
"You must already know that abyssal disease is not a blessing, but a curse. The deeper you sink, the closer you are to death."
"The Countermeasures Bureau can provide you with professional advice and priceless equipment support, which can prevent you from losing control and death to a certain extent."
"The most important thing is that there is no rejection of this option."
Gray's inhumane tone made Colin's eyelids twitch.
At this moment, the drinks ordered by several people have arrived.
Gray checked the time with her watch and drank the whiskey in the glass.
"Please understand that there is no celebration banquet. The situation in other regions is not optimistic, and members are dying one after another."
"After you rest for two days, report to the headquarters of Section 11. I will have someone send you the location at that time."
Gray stood up and prepared to leave, adding one last sentence.
"Sometimes... the fight against SCT is not just a confrontation of strength, but also a... confrontation of faith and will."
"This means that the Countermeasures Bureau will not sacrifice any member easily."
After finishing speaking, Gray packed his suitcase, strode away, opened the door of the tavern, and melted into the dark night.
"She feels really reliable, doesn't she?"
Eugene couldn't help but have this idea. When Gray is the enemy, he will feel a strong sense of oppression, but once he fights for the same goal, he will feel extremely safe.
"Who knows if she is trying to trick people." Colin looked disdainful and lit another cigarette, "Have you forgotten what you said before? She only wants us to kill each other by letting people like us into the countermeasures bureau.
"
"The bonus seems to have arrived..."
Eugene exclaimed when he saw the prompt on his phone.
Colin choked on the smoke and coughed.
He looked at his mobile phone and saw that it was indeed the case. Fifty thousand alliance coins from Alliance Savings Bank had been credited to his account.
"Do you have two days of rest? What are you going to do?"
Eugene feels that hanging around every day is meaningless, and Colin is a good companion.
"First I sold my ldk apartment. That house is unlucky. Now I can leave the city. I want to go back to the suburbs to have a look. The house left there has been unoccupied for more than a year. I guess there are several kilograms of dust in it.
Already."
Colin looked at the tequila in front of him and hesitated.
Eugene waited for his performance with longing eyes.
I saw Colin pouring salt, drinking wine and biting lemon slices in one breath. He felt a little dizzy and let out a long breath.
"See you the day after tomorrow, uncle."
Eugene stopped talking nonsense and left directly, planning to let Colin pay the bill. Besides, Colin had been using her car for a week, which made her extremely unhappy. She spent thousands on gas for running here and there.
Colin rubbed his eyebrows, and Cohen's face before his death reappeared in his mind.
【This is a kind of domestication, an invisible domestication.】
【All of this, all of it, is a conspiracy.】
It made his head hurt like the devil's whisper.
"Hold."
He directly ordered a bottle of tequila and a large glass with ice, preparing to get drunk.
