In the reception room on the second floor of Zhuo Zhuo Antique Store, the aroma of tea lingered. Wu Yue held a cup of tea in his hand, sighed, and looked out the window, looking deeply touched.
Xue Chen laughed and said without politeness: "Director Wu, you are being pretentious." Anyone in the system does not want to be promoted. Being promoted must be a happy event, but Wu Yue looked a little sad.
To say it's pretentious would be putting it mildly.
"Ah, haha, I'm being pretentious." But few people dare to say it so bluntly. Wu Yue put his hands on his knees and laughed, then shook his head, "You are right, I am a bit pretentious, but this is indeed who I am.
The real feeling now is that I have been promoted to a new position, I have a wider range of contacts, my work content has also undergone some changes, and my vision has also changed, but there are some things that I really can’t believe until I understand them.”
Xue Chen stood up and opened the window a little to let in the wind outside, and then sat back down.
Wu Yue took out a box of cigarettes. He first took out one, and then handed the cigarette box to Xue Chen. When Xue Chen shook his head, he stuffed the cigarette box back into his pocket.
After lighting the cigarette and taking a few puffs, Wu Yue squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Xue Chen, do you know what aspect of work I am responsible for now?"
"How do I know?" Xue Chen looked at Wu Yue, who was smoking a cigarette. He saw that the face with many wrinkles was covered by the gray smoke, and it looked a little different from before.
Although he said he didn't know, since Wu Yue came in front of him, how could he not have any guesses? It's just that he didn't want to guess or tell, waiting for Wu Yue to say it himself.
Wu Yue looked very mysterious. He glanced around and then said leisurely: "The work I am responsible for now... has something to do with you."
“With me?”
Wu Yue thought about it, pondered and slowly opened his mouth, keeping his eyes fixed on him: "The job I am responsible for now is to investigate and record, and to contact people like you."
Xue Chen thought for a moment and understood clearly. His guess was correct. It was indeed the case, but he still asked knowingly: "Director Wu, I still don't quite understand what kind of person a person like me is?"
After taking two more puffs, Wu Yue crushed the remaining cigarette butt in the ashtray: "Now that I'm here, I just plan to say something, so there's no need to play guessing games with you. I said
What I mean is that for people with special abilities like you, I have some people who are responsible for observing and searching, and then report them to me, and I will find them, communicate with them, and then record them."
After finishing speaking, Wu Yue stood up with a heavy expression, walked to the window, glanced at the street with traffic outside, and then turned to look at Xue Chen.
"I told you that all the information on your investigation by the Provincial Military Region has been thrown into the warehouse by me, and will not be seen by others. But when I took over my current job, I found out that there is still a group of people at the Ministry of National Security.
The information about you is even more detailed and more purposeful, and you have been classified as a special person."
"There is a department within the Ministry of National Security that was established very early. It was established in 1963. It can be said that it is one of the earliest departments established by the Ministry of National Security. Its job is to identify and record special persons across the country. This is
The first time I learned about this department and this job, it really... opened my eyes."
Xue Chen listened quietly. Wu Yue talked a lot intermittently, and he said it wherever he thought. He could see that Wu Yue had not fully adapted to the current job. To be more precise, he was intimidated by the nature of the job.
arrive.
"It's really hard to imagine that there are such extraordinary people among ordinary people. I originally thought you were an exception, but now I know it's not the case. I read the records on the case and I really can't imagine it.
, There are actually such people in our country, and there are so many of them, not to mention, they are just discovered." Speaking of excitement, Wu Yue stretched out his arms and waved.
After talking for a while, Wu Yue lit another cigarette for himself and regained his composure.
"Then why did Director Wu come to my place today?" Xue Chen touched his chin and looked at Wu Yue.
Wu Yue took two more puffs of cigarette and coughed slightly: "I'm here to see you today. I just want to tell you something. We are old acquaintances. If you have anything to say, just talk about it. I'm investigating you."
The records in our department are one foot high and are far more detailed than the investigation of the Yunzhou Provincial Military Region. After all, they are professionals."
"There is no doubt that you have been identified by the department as a person with special abilities. According to the process, the department will send someone to contact you and clarify the matter. Then it will be filed to record more detailed information, such as personal specialties.
What is the ability specifically, what are its effects, etc.”
Xue Chen nodded and asked: "Forced?"
Wu Yue shook his head and laughed: "It's not as dark as you think. In theory, it is voluntary. The department will not take drastic actions against these special people, but there will be some warnings." Maybe it was because he saw him.
The reaction was too calm, and Wu Yue asked him if he already knew some news.
"Well, I do know a bit, and I only learned a bit in the past few days." Wu Yue was different from others. Xue Chen briefly talked about his experience in Las Vegas, and talked about the Russian Security Federation
Igor of Bureau.
"Igor..." Wu Yue nodded, "This person's status in the security department of our neighboring country should not be low. As far as I know, this is indeed the case. Some major countries in the world have investigation and understanding of special persons.
, especially developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, have a much longer history of investigating and understanding special people."
"Since you already understand, let me tell you straight away. I have two purposes for coming here this time. The first one is to ask you if you are willing to register with our department. Of course, this matter is not forced. I
You have no right to do that."
"I have no plans to file for the record, but I would like to know what is the purpose of filing? What impact will it have?" Xue Chen asked.
Wu Yue thought about this issue for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Maybe it sounds a bit unpleasant for me to say this, but it is true. Registration is equivalent to another ID card, an ID card exclusive to special people. In this way
It can facilitate the country's overall planning and can also prevent bad things from happening. For example, if a special person commits a crime, it can be traced according to the filing as soon as possible."
Xue Chen nodded, indicating that he understood. To put it bluntly, special people may be a restless factor for the country, especially those with special abilities. Once they have evil thoughts in their hearts, they will be more harmful than normal people.
He also didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would stand in front of another door and see more areas that he didn't understand before, from the lucky white boy Chuck to the man who was almost poisoned by cyanide.
Igor, then Chu Fenglong, whose identity is unknown, and finally Wu Yue.
Step by step, he gained a complete understanding of the so-called special people.
What he can be sure of is that these so-called special people are completely different from him. The various abilities he masters rely on ancient jade and today's jade pupils, and it is absolutely impossible for those people to also possess ancient jade. They should be naturally derived.
.
But neither Igor nor Wu Yue, nor Chu Fenglong, should be aware of this matter, and they must have regarded him as an ordinary special person.
"What about the second thing?"
"As for the second thing, I hope that if one day, someone else, well, someone who is not within the system comes to you and invites you to join some organizations, you can think twice and it is best not to join. That is good for you, and
Good for the country."
Xue Chen's eyes moved slightly: "Director Wu, please tell me in detail, who are the other people?"
Regarding this question, Wu Yue seemed a little hesitant and did not answer in a hurry. He was silent for a while, seeming to organize his words and think about what he could say and what he should not say.
"Director Wu, don't worry, I won't tell others what you said to me." Xue Chen promised.
"Well, you and I still believe it." Wu Yue gradually let go of the hesitation in his heart and said with a serious expression, "The other people I mentioned refer to some people who are not controlled by the government and our Ministry of National Security.
An organization composed of special people."
"An organization composed of special persons..." Xue Chen chewed these words in his mind and heard Wu Yue's solemn tone, which made him secretly wonder. The question that can make Wu Yue feel heavy will definitely not
It's a small problem.
"Director Wu, I still don't quite understand what kind of organization is an organization composed of special persons. Can it still allow you, your national security department, and the country to feel very difficult and embarrassed?"
He doesn't believe that there is any organization in this land of China that can fight against the party and the country, let alone any special person. Even Superman and Iron Man will have to kneel down.
"I have only taken over these tasks not long ago, and I still don't have a comprehensive understanding of things. But as you might imagine, some things are indeed very troublesome. The organizations I just mentioned are not necessarily harmful to the country and people, nor are they terrorist organizations.
, otherwise they would have been eradicated long ago. To be more precise, they are like vines clinging to this country, relying on this country to gain personal interests. However, due to various reasons, it is difficult to stop them. What can be done
The only way is to prevent the vines from getting stronger and stronger, so as to prevent the big tree from being dragged down by these vines." (To be continued)
