In the dim car, only the interior lights emitted a faint light.
In this silent atmosphere, the counselor said these words with a smile, but it made Cheng Lin sitting next to him almost have his hair standing on end!
Fortunately, after getting used to "body control", Cheng Lin could already adjust his body reaction appropriately even without turning on his superpower. With this, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and tried his best to pretend to be shocked and surprised, saying: "Why... why is this so?"
think?"
While asking, Cheng Lin's eyes were firmly fixed on the counselor's face, trying to capture the hidden risks from the subtle changes in the other person's expression.
For a moment, he vaguely felt that the counselor's smile was very strange.
Is he testing me?
Explode me with words?
Did he know something?
Am I exposed?
What went wrong?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Cheng Lin's mind like a meteor shower, making him restless. He clenched his right hand subconsciously, ready to enter a battle state at any time.
However, the counselor's next reaction dispelled his doubts.
I saw this man wearing glasses smiling and saying: "Who knows, so I have a lot of imagination. Maybe that black robe is indeed inexplicably human-like? How he behaves and treats human beings, and interact with him
A certain understanding of the earth that comes through when dealing and negotiating?”
"Some people even speculate that maybe the black robe is the heir left by Senior Cheng in the elf world. Think about it, those elves are quite in line with human aesthetics. If Senior Cheng arrives on a whim, he will leave his heir in the elf clan and teach him a lot.
There is knowledge about the region and the Xia Kingdom...
Then the projection appeared, and the two worlds merged. Hei Pao thought that our Xia country was the hometown of Senior Cheng, so he came forward to facilitate the deal, but in the other five projections, he avoided seeing it... Logically speaking, it is barely possible.
It makes sense..."
"Of course, this is without considering reproductive isolation."
The counselor looked like he was gossiping, and as he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator and got out of the car.
"It doesn't make sense logically... This is all nonsense... There are still heirs left... How dare you think..."
Cheng Lin was speechless and kept complaining in his mind, but it seemed that he was not exposed. Think about it, if he was exposed, the person who came to pick him up would not be a car, but a reinforced company, right?
Relaxing his tense body, Cheng Lin took out a breath and said with a forced smile: "This is unlikely."
"Hey, of course it's nonsense. It's just a bunch of people making wild guesses. Who knows the real reason? Let those experts and scholars think about it. It has nothing to do with you and me anyway." The counselor shrugged.
"Yes, it has nothing to do with us." Cheng Lin agreed.
In my heart, I was extremely glad for my previous decision to wear a hidden interest item. It seemed that I was right to be cautious.
Then the two of them chatted about other topics for a while.
Among them, what Cheng Lin paid the most attention to was the remaining five projections, especially the Central African projection.
According to the counselor.
The projection development in the Federation and other places is not much different from that in Xia Kingdom.
All countries, or alliances of countries, monopolize exploration and try to communicate with the Elf Royal Court.
Of course, due to the lack of "black robes", the progress of other countries is far less than that of Xia Kingdom, and the scale of transactions and exchanges carried out is also quite different. However, this is also relative. On the whole, all countries have made a lot of money from this wave of transactions.
Except...Africa.
"There was no strong government control over there, and the result was chaos. Small countries that had not obtained the right to explore, plus some unworthy forces and illegal cultivators, all gathered together and plundered wildly. I heard that there were
The forces have made up their mind to capture the elves." When the counselor talked about this, his expression became somewhat serious.
"Catching the elf? Was it successful?" Cheng Lin was surprised.
"It's such a success. They didn't even look at whose home field it was. This incident directly angered the Elf King. With an order from the Elf King, the entire army was swept away. The group of casual cultivators were in bad luck. It was said that they broke into the projection.
Almost 90% of the people died, and only a few who were lucky enough to escape... As for the elves? Not even a hair was brought out."
The counselor said with disdain.
Hearing this result, Cheng Lin was relieved at first, and then he couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
The counselor seemed to have lost interest in the conversation, and the car suddenly became much quieter.
"We are entering the city, fasten your seat belt." With a reminder, the counselor turned the steering wheel and passed the turntable, heading into the city.
Cheng Lin nodded, pulled out his seat belt, and then turned sideways, looking through the car glass at the city like a sea of lights, at the countless bright billboards, the sound of cars, and the laughter of pedestrians on the street.
The dullness in my heart gradually dissipated.
After all, there is no way to avoid some things. All you can do is try your best to make the world a better place.
Thinking of this, the car drove all the way across the city to the ground command center on the other side.
At this time, three hours had passed since Cheng Lin left the projection.
As the speed of the car slowed down, and a dense queue of cars and bright lights appeared in front of him, Cheng Lin adjusted his spirits and prepared to get out of the car.
"We're just ahead. Here, here's your temporary ID. Take it. The security here is very strict. Without one, you'll be in trouble."
The counselor released the accelerator, stepped on the clutch and slowly reduced the speed. He handed Cheng Lin a black ID holster with his right hand.
Cheng Lin took it, opened it, and saw an ID with his photo printed inside, stamped with the stamp of "Ninth Division of the Special Incident Handling Department."
At the bottom is the encoding.
There is also a chip in the middle of the document to verify its authenticity. The workmanship is very fine.
This is an official small lapel ID, but the one issued to Cheng Lin is temporary. He had used this thing before when he was in Shanghai.
After the Fairy Island projection, the certificate was taken away, and this time it was issued again.
"There are also clothes. I see you didn't bring any clothes, right? There is a set in the back seat in your size. You can change into it in the car before you go out."
The counselor gave another warning. Seeing that the 13th Division guard next to the roadblock in front had raised his hand, he rolled down the window, parked the car outside, and then got out with Cheng Lin, who had changed into a "little lapel" uniform.
car.
"I'll go find someone to deal with the supplies in the car first. You can walk around here for now. I'll look for you later. Don't go there except over there. Everything else is fine. If you meet someone and ask,
Just say that you came here with Chief Shen to perform the mission, and there is no need to say anything else. Do you understand?" After passing the roadblock, the counselor whispered to Cheng Lin as he walked.
"Understood." Cheng Lin nodded, and then watched the counselor leave quickly while he himself began to look around curiously.
It's really lively here. Dozens or hundreds of big lamps are set up on those temporary "street lights", illuminating this wilderness. There are people in small lapels coming and going all around, and there are also people in military uniforms.
Soldiers on alert with firearms.
In the distance, a row of helicopters were parked in the field, giving off a rough and wild aesthetic.
Just as Cheng Lin was looking around curiously, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice coming from his left: "Cheng Lin? Are you here?"
