Three days later, the plane passed over the Pearl River Delta and slowly headed towards Donghai City.
There was silence in the cabin. I leaned against the window and looked at the lights gradually fading away under my feet, my heart rising and falling.
Counting Manager Lei, in a team of nine people, I am now the only one on the way back to the East China Sea. In that land, Wang Daquan, Jiang Kai, Manager Lei, and others have been with me for three years.
His name will remain there forever.
The incident that day was eventually defined as an accident under the intelligence control of the 749 Bureau. The investigation results announced by the police were that the power supply system of the building failed, causing the air conditioning and ventilation systems in Boss Li's collection, as well as the elevators, to malfunction.
All the systems stopped functioning, and Boss Li blocked the emergency passage when renovating the collection hall. As a result, everyone suffocated and died because they were unable to escape in time. Only me was spared because of timely rescue. This is the final result.
All the causes were attributed to a power failure.
The matter seemed to be over, but I knew that for me, the impact of this incident had just begun...
After our conversation that day, Lin Qianyi made an unexpected decision for me, which was to let me join Bureau 749 and become a member of the Investigation Division of Bureau 749.
Firstly, only in this way can I preserve my memory of the entire incident that day. Secondly, because of Lin Aiguo, her father and my adoptive father, after Lin Qianyi learned about my abilities, she hoped that I could
Help her find the whereabouts of Lin Aiguo.
Although Lin Aiguo has been missing for ten years, even with the intelligence capabilities of the 749 Bureau, it is impossible to confirm that he is dead. Lin Qianyi feels that if I can help with my ability, which she later nicknamed the Eye of Truth, we will be able to
It's impossible to find Dad's whereabouts.
With the hope of finding my father, I naturally agreed to Lin Qianyi's request.
However, there is another problem before us now. Lin Qianyi is currently just an ordinary investigator in the Investigation Division of Bureau 749. She does not have the right to make personnel decisions. Whether she can join Bureau 749 must be approved by the senior management of the Bureau.
Leader’s permission.
So, after communicating with the top management on the phone, Lin Qianyi took me and left Hong Kong in a hurry, preparing to return to the headquarters of Bureau 749, which is Donghai City, for a special interview.
After lying in the hospital bed for several days, I was still very tired, but I couldn't sleep on the plane. In fact, since that incident, except for the time when I was attacked by the Buddha statue and passed out.
, I have been suffering from insomnia for a long time.
Because whenever I close my eyes, I will think of the happy days in the security team with Jiang Kai and the others.
The plane didn't land for an hour, so I looked out the window in trance. Lin Qianyi, who had already taken a nap for a while, woke up and saw that I didn't seem to have slept at all, so she said, "Have you not slept for a long time? Look.
Your eyes are going to turn into rabbit eyes. With this look, how can you interview with my boss after arriving in Donghai?"
I came to my senses, shook my head, and said it didn't matter to me. I could just have a cup of coffee before the interview.
Lin Qianyi smiled bitterly and reminded me not to make the interview too easy.
I asked strangely: "What's wrong? Isn't it just an interview? I heard you say before that the 749 Bureau Investigation Division usually recruits new investigators through internal recommendations. You have already told your boss about my relationship with my father.
, and I have you as a recommender, shouldn’t there be no problem? Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?”
Lin Qianyi said: "There is something I forgot to tell you before. You must remember that you must not mention anything about your eyes in front of my leader."
"Why?"
Lin Qianyi said: "It's my fault that I forgot to tell you. In fact, people with special abilities like you have a special name in our bureau, called ability people. In our opinion, ability people are actually
Like the murderous Buddha statue, he is a dangerous person who may affect social stability. Therefore, according to common sense, once Bureau 749 discovers the existence of a person with abilities, the countermeasures of the Bureau will most likely be to imprison or kill the person with abilities.
"
When I heard this, I was stunned. It took me a long time to react: "Kill? Do you mean, if they know my ability, they might kill me?"
I suddenly thought of another thing and glanced at her suspiciously: "No, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid you are also a person with abilities, right?"
I didn't think about it carefully before, but now that I mentioned it, it suddenly reminded me of Lin Qianyi's performance in front of me that day. She could kick a Buddha statue weighing several hundred kilograms away with one kick, and she could also lift that extremely powerful statue.
Isn't Lin Qianyi, who could barely hold up the Buddha statue for dozens of seconds, also a person with abilities?
Since Lin Qianyi can enter the 749th round, why did she say that the 749th round might kill the ability person? Isn't this a contradictory statement?
Hearing my question, Lin Qianyi hurriedly explained: "What I said before is only a possibility. In fact, imprisoning or killing ability users is just one of the countermeasures against ability users in Bureau 749. The specific situation,
It also depends on how harmful the ability of the person with abilities is to society. For example, my ability is actually just that I am stronger than ordinary people."
She continued: "With abilities like mine that are not very conspicuous, the bureau will indeed not take drastic measures. Instead, people with these abilities may be included in the 749 bureau as staff members. On the one hand, we use our abilities to
The investigation and recovery of the incident, on the other hand, also facilitate our monitoring and protection."
I asked: "Wouldn't that be better? If your leaders knew that I was also capable, wouldn't it be a certainty that I would join the 749 Bureau?"
Lin Qianyi shook her head and said: "You can't say that. What you said can only be the best situation. The key to the problem is how to evaluate whether a person's ability is harmful to society. The criteria for judging here, even if it's me
I can’t tell. If our people think that your ability may be a threat to society, your fate may be the same as mine..."
Halfway through Lin Qianyi's words, she felt she had lost her words and immediately closed her mouth, swallowing the rest of the words back into her stomach.
I asked: "What will happen to me?"
Lin Qianyi shook her head, with a rare look of impatience on her face: "No! Lin Sijiu! Since you are my father's adopted son, I am your sister! As a younger brother, you must listen to your elder sister.
If you do! It’s better to do less than to do more. You must not reveal your secret to a third person besides me!"
I looked at this sister who suddenly appeared suspiciously, waved my hand and said, "Okay, I will listen to my sister."
Seeing that I agreed, Lin Qianyi's face turned cold and then improved a little.
However, because of this topic, the atmosphere between us was a bit awkward. Lin Qianyi stopped chatting with me, closed her eyes, lay down there, and began to rest again.
I glanced at her and recalled my father's attitude after he learned about my abilities. There were too many strange things. Since Bureau 749 also classified people with abilities as mysterious phenomena that need to be monitored and controlled, why did my father
Didn't you report my matter to Bureau 749 at first, but instead spared no effort to temporarily seal my abilities?
I suspect that behind the things about ability users, there may be some inside story that I can't imagine. But these secrets can only be revealed after I truly become a member of Bureau 749.
After getting off the plane, a black car with military license plates took us directly to the headquarters address of the 749th Bureau.
In an old community in Donghai City, on the side of a road full of restaurants, massage rooms and hotels, a white 12-story building is the headquarters of the 749 Bureau. If it weren't for the military restricted area sign hanging on the door of this building, I would
It is really hard to believe that the headquarters of an organization that Lin Qianyi said was the most mysterious in China is actually located in such a dilapidated building.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, I was staring at the main entrance of the building, and suddenly I felt something familiar.
A few seconds later, I slapped my forehead and exclaimed to Lin Qianyi next to me: "Fuck! I've seen this building before!"
Well, before I entered the gate, I felt something familiar. It was only after I passed the security guard at the gate and parked the car under the main entrance of the building that I discovered the photo of this building. I had seen it online several months ago.
Pass!
The source of that photo was a video that was very popular on the Internet at that time.
The photographer of the video was a foreign reporter who was trying to secretly photograph a secret hacker base said to be the domestic military. However, he was discovered by the security guard on duty at the door and ran away.
And the building in the video that foreign reporters accused of being a hacker base is the building in front of me, right?
Lin Qianyi heard me yelling and rolled her eyes at me: "Sijiu, how can you say dirty words?"
I chuckled, feeling that since Lin Qianyi learned about my life experience, her attitude towards me has become more and more like that of disciplining a younger brother.
"I'm sorry, Sister Lin, aren't I a little excited?"
I told Lin Qianyi about the video, and she said angrily: "That kind of thing happens all the time. This building is not only the headquarters of the 749 Bureau, but also the working place of the Intelligence Department. There are many surveillance networks inside.
equipment, so it is often thought to be the military’s hacking center by those with evil intentions outside.”
"I will tell you the details after you officially join Bureau 749. Now hurry in, the leader is already waiting for us. Remember, you are not allowed to use swear words for a while." After Lin Qianyi finished speaking, she pulled me over.
Walk inside.
The inside of this building is no different from an ordinary government unit, except that not long after we entered the building, there was another security post. An armed policeman stopped Lin Qianyi and me and asked us to wait aside.
I asked Lin Qianyi, "Sister Lin, what's going on? Didn't you check your ID just now? Why didn't you let us in?"
Lin Qianyi said in my ear: "There is no way, this is the rule of the bureau. When people without a pass enter the building, a leader above the level of section chief must come out to pick them up in person before they can be released. Even if they use the internal phone
Neither works."
I was speechless, secretly saying that the agency had a lot of troubles. It was just for an interview, and the leader had to come out to pick him up in person.
After about ten minutes, a figure appeared from the elevator entrance, waving to us and running over.
