Chapter 803 Welcome, Mr. ‘Leader’ (please vote for the big chapter)
In the simple and bright hall, standing in front of the operating table, He Ao, wearing medical gloves, raised the mithril test tube in his hand and looked at the red liquid that seemed to be shining brightly inside.
"alright."
He turned around and handed the mithril test tube in his hand to Lena, who was obviously nervous next to him. "You have collected a lot of auxiliary materials, which saved us at least half an hour."
"This is a C-level secret medicine, and you just gave it to me like this?"
Lena was slightly absent-minded, a smile appeared on her cheek subconsciously, and she looked at the mithril test tube in He Ao's hand.
"I told you,"
He Ao kept his hands motionless and looked at Lena, "I believe you."
Lena was slightly startled. The figure of the young man covered in blood last night and the young man with firm eyes in simple and clean clothes overlapped again.
In the years when she was growing up alone, it seemed that she had not been trusted like this for a long time.
Even last night, she thought it was the other party's subconscious desire to obey.
She reached out and took the test tube, and looked closely at the young boy's thin cheek, as if she wanted to see something from the weak and pale cheek.
"Has anyone ever said that you are very charming?"
She stared at the young boy in front of her. Although his appearance was not completely childish, his clear and sharp edges were vaguely visible, and he could already see his future handsome appearance.
"A lot of people say I'm very attractive."
He Ao shrugged and took out the three test tubes that had been extracted long ago and placed them on the test tube rack nearby. "Part of these will be used as your 'commission' for helping to rescue the FBI, and the other part will be temporarily stored with you."
"Sometimes you act and speak so sophisticatedly that I wonder, are you really a twelve-year-old kid?"
Lena pursed her red lips and took the test tube rack with a smile.
"Then what's the right thing for a twelve-year-old to say?"
While taking off his medical gloves, He Ao glanced at Lena and asked casually, "Aunt Lena?"
Lena:?
Who, who is the aunt?
Lena's expression froze instantly, and she pinched her cheeks subconsciously.
It's still elastic and hasn't slackened yet.
She quickly glanced at the mirror not far from the operating table.
It seems like there are some crow's feet at the corners of my eyes...
Shouldn't I stay up late? Phryne's eye cream is useless. Damn it, it's so expensive.
"Come back to your senses."
A soft shout called Lena back from her thoughts. She raised her head and saw that the young boy had taken off his gloves and walked to the door of the operating room. He was holding the door handle and looking at her.
"Can't you change your title and call me sister or something?"
Lena put away the test tube rack, followed the boy's footsteps, and sighed, "We older people should also consider the self-esteem."
"The passage of time cannot be reversed,"
He Ao glanced at her, and while walking out the door, he continued, "I advise you to accept the reality."
For a moment, Lena really wanted to press this kid's head to her chest and suffocate him to death.
At this moment, they were in the underground clinic of an underground doctor under Lena. Coming out of the operating room of this clinic, they had to go through a long and narrow corridor dotted with small windows.
The afternoon sun shines through the narrow windows and occasionally onto the long corridor, like stone bricks paved with light and shadow.
The young man's thin body slowly moved forward, raised his steps, and passed through the scattered light and shadow.
Lena stood at the door of the operating room, quietly watching the young man's back in the light and shadow.
She stretched out her hand and touched the sunlight streaming in from the window, and a little warm feeling spread along her slender fingers to the bottom of her heart.
The corners of his fiery red mouth naturally raised, revealing a faint smile.
"Aunt Lena?"
The young man in front of him had walked through the corridor at some point and turned back to look this way.
"The title 'Auntie' can be removed, thank you."
Lena raised her eyebrows slightly, held the test tube rack, and walked quickly through the sunshine in the corridor, keeping up with He Ao's pace.
"What I just told you about, the promotion ceremony of a 'warrior', do you still remember it?"
He Ao continued to move forward and asked casually.
"Take the secret medicine when faced with the siege of at least three D-class people and in a desperate situation."
Lena took a gentle breath and said slowly.
"Well, in theory, the stronger the enemy, the better the promotion effect will be,"
Walking out of the corridor is a bright small living room. In the center of the small living room is a holographic projection device, which projects a holographic projection of scattered streets and buildings.
He Ao stood among the holographic projections, looking at the criss-crossing roads, "But I can't guarantee that my guess is correct. You will probably die there. Have you made your decision to go?"
Lena originally wanted to make a joke, but looking at the young man's firm gaze, she slowly stopped smiling and gently lifted the red hair on the side of her face.
"I was born on the bottom floor of Storm Towers, which was the largest slum in the city. Even in Skone's time, it was the most dangerous and dirty place in the city.
"Girls like me who look good, or girls who are expected to look good in the future, will be taken away by gangs before they grow up, contaminated with various contraband, taken to strip clubs, or groomed
Become a rich man’s special lover,
"In that place, only those like me who are ruthless, cunning and not afraid of death can protect themselves and live better."
Her tone remained calm and calm, "The danger this time is, relatively speaking, not more terrifying than what I faced when I was weak, so I am willing to take this risk."
Of course, there is another reason why she is willing to believe in the arrangements and strategies of the young man in front of her.
But she couldn't say this, because it was different from the trust the young man expressed in her. Saying this was equivalent to placing a burden called 'responsibility' on the young man in front of her.
He Ao looked into the eyes of the woman in front of him and vaguely guessed what she was thinking.
However, he didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, "Then let's go as planned, pay attention to safety, and if there is any problem, just follow what I told you and evacuate immediately."
"good."
Lena nodded heavily, then she tilted her head and looked at He Ao who was starting to pack things, her eyes paused for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
He Ao, who picked up the knight's sword, glanced at him.
"nothing,"
Lena shook her head and sighed, "Sometimes I really feel that you are really young."
She had heard of young geniuses before, but this was the first time she had truly seen such a young genius.
"Is it,"
He Ao bent down, picked up the strap that bound the knight's sword, and said calmly, "Actually, I don't want to be young and immature."
Lena stared at the thin boy in front of her.
She suddenly realized that if the boy had been staying in the nutrition cabin before this, he might have witnessed the mutation suffered by his relatives.
"Feel sorry."
After a short silence, she slowly spoke.
"fine,"
He Ao put the knight's sword on his back and looked at Lena with a smile, "Let's go meet the 'client' who has been hiding behind the scenes."
The two of them left the clinic and left in two directions.
——
Yunduan District Mayor's Mansion
The white-haired old man sat under the wide balcony, leaning on the long wooden chair, reading the books in his hands, and the warm wind in the sunset blew his hair.
Dong Dong—
There was a slow knock on the door outside.
"Please come in."
The old man said slowly.
"Mr. Mayor."
A young man holding documents walked into the office and looked at the old man sitting in front of the balcony.
"Oh, you're here."
The old man put down the book in his hand, took out a pair of reading glasses from the side and put them on, then picked up a thick printed document on the coffee table in front of him, "This report of yours is not good, kid."
The young man was stunned for a moment and walked over quickly, "Is there something wrong? Is there a data error in it?"
"No, these numbers are good."
The old man looked at the document and slowly opened the contents.
"What's the problem?"
The young man stood in front of the old man in confusion.
The old man waved his hand and motioned for the young man to sit opposite him, and then he said slowly,
"The data in your report are all quoted from the city government's database. They are perfect.
"But kid, you said in your report that the total wealth of Winter City has been growing over the years, so we should appropriately increase the consumption tax rate on basic consumer goods to increase the city government's fiscal revenue.
“Then use more fiscal revenue as subsidies to stimulate mining, thereby further increasing total wealth.
"This kind of policy cannot be fully implemented."
"But according to the data, we should be able to implement this policy. Are there any untrue aspects in these data?"
The young man seemed a little confused in his eyes.
"No, these data are real, but they are not complete truth."
The old man raised his eyes from the report in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him, "Child, have you ever left the Cloud Zone?"
This question made the young man's face freeze, and he said slowly, "I have been to Akha District."
"Entertainment venue?"
The old man asked next.
"Um!"
The young man lowered his head slightly.
The old man lowered his eyes and put the report in his hand on the table.
"Your father recommended that you join the city cabinet as secretary, but I suggest that you still go to Akha District and Storm District to visit, go deep into every street, and ask about everyone's life.
"You are inheriting your father's constituency. At least, you should visit your voters."
"yes,"
The young man nodded heavily, "Then Mr. Mayor, I'll take my leave now."
He stood up slowly and left the office quickly.
After a while, another tall man walked in through the small door on the other side, stopped beside the old man, picked up the report in front of the old man, and slowly read through it.
"The bulk of the consumption tax on basic consumer goods will eventually be levied on ordinary people, and most of the mining industry in Winter City is controlled by United Industries. Adding consumption tax to subsidize mining is just taking money from ordinary people to subsidize United Industries."
The old man took off his reading glasses and placed them on the coffee table. He stared at the sunset in the distance with his eyes lowered and said nothing.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's bracelet vibrated. He glanced at the content on the bracelet and looked up at the old man, "Mayor, Miss Willie is here. Do you need to let her in?"
"Need not,"
The old man's already drooped eyelids slowly lifted up, and for the first time some emotional fluctuations appeared in his cloudy eyes. He supported the back of the chair, stood up with difficulty, and said hoarsely, "I'll pick her up."
The breeze from the balcony was blowing the old man's white hair, the fiery red sunset gradually sank into the end of the city, and dark clouds drifted from the distant skyline and filled the sky.
——
Akka District
Sunset and moonrise.
When darkness once again enveloped the entire city, an icy wind seemed to blow in the sky again.
Continuous dark clouds once again covered the sky, covering up the last stars in the dark night.
The dark car slowly stopped at the corner of the street. Lena, who was sitting in the driver's seat, raised her bracelet and glanced at the time.
Half past seven in the evening.
There is still half an hour before the appointed time.
There were no street lights in this alley corner, and the dark night swallowed up everything around it.
She glanced back behind her. At the end of her sight, in the middle of the scattered buildings, there was a nice-looking apartment building.
That's Novis' home.
At this moment, with the apartment building as the center, it was densely packed with spies of the Eternal Secret Cult everywhere.
Her current location is on the outermost side of the Eternal Secret Cult's monitoring circle.
She withdrew her gaze, reached into her arms, and held the test tube placed on the inside of her clothes. Then she slowly let go of her hand and looked into the dark alley.
······
The closed window was slowly pushed open, and the thinly dressed young man turned over and jumped in through the window.
The blood-red butterfly folded its wings on his shoulder.
He Ao glanced at the dark living room, and then quickly walked to his room.
Although the spies of the Eternal Secret Cult were arranged very closely, with his spiritual vision, he could easily distinguish where there were extraordinary beings and where there were just ordinary spies.
As long as you avoid places where extraordinary people gather, it will be much easier to avoid those ordinary sentries.
Of course, he couldn't completely avoid all the sentries. The sentries on the inner floor of the building were much denser, but all the sentries who attacked him kept their mouths shut forever.
At least until these outposts are discovered, this infiltration will be safe.
In the hazy gray light, He Ao quickly found his closet, then found a sweater and a thick jacket from the closet and put it on, changing out of the hospital gown.
After all the clothes were neatly dressed, he reached out and opened the innermost part of the wardrobe.
A soft feeling appeared in his palm, which was a thick red scarf.
The stitching of this scarf is not neat, and it is obviously hand-knitted.
After a brief silence, he put the scarf around his neck.
Then he returned to the living room, turned on the coffee machine, and quietly prepared coffee in the dark.
——
At eight o'clock in the evening.
The elevator door opened, and a dark-skinned old man who looked like a wilderness wanderer businessman slowly appeared in the silent corridor.
In the elevator behind him, the bodies of several white-robed priests were piled up, and blood flowed along the floor of the elevator car into the elevator shaft.
There are still many white-robed priests waiting in the corridor.
The moment the old man appeared, they rushed forward without hesitation.
The old man moved forward slowly, looking at the priests who were rushing towards him. With every step he took, a golden spear was generated in the void beside him.
The sharp spear easily pierced the golden armor of the white-robed priests and pierced their bodies. The splash of blood dyed the clean floor a coquettish red.
Finally, along with the corpses lying on the ground one after another, the old man slowly stopped in front of a house.
Then he looked up at the monitor above his head.
The next second, a shining golden light burst out from the surveillance camera, and the entire surveillance camera exploded instantly.
The old man lowered his head and looked at the smart lock in front of him.
He raised his hand, ready to break the smart lock.
'drop--'
But with a soft sound, the smart lock automatically opened and the door opened backwards.
The old man's eyes paused slightly and he raised his head to look indoors.
A bright light lit up at this moment, shining in the silent living room.
A young man wearing a jacket sat on the sofa with two cups of hot coffee in front of him, one in front of him and one in front of the empty seat opposite.
He raised his head and stared at the old man standing at the door with a smile.
