When I saw the moving hands on the watch, the cold sweat on my forehead began to drip down like a stream. Deep in my heart, I felt like I had been pushed naked into the ice and snow, pulling out the cold, holding it in the air.
My left hand was already trembling.
If the prophecy of "Tang Sanzang" is true, then in ten minutes, at least 220,000 people will die in an instant. When I think that I actually know the death dates of so many lives, my head feels a little dull.
This invisible pressure almost pushed me down from my seat.
How powerful is this tsunami? From Indonesia to East Africa, such a long distance will be affected, so will our south be affected? How many Chinese people will die in this disaster?
Thinking of this, I immediately raised my head, raised my hands uncontrollably, and asked Wang Jun: "Director Wang, how much loss will we suffer in this disaster?"
As soon as I said those words, I felt a little regretful. What I did just now was really impulsive and not organized or disciplined at all. It would have been fine in normal times, but now in addition to our 749 Bureau, there are also National Security Bureau
And the people from the General Staff, this is embarrassing.
Fortunately, Wang Jun, who was halfway through reading, did not blame him. He directly waved his hand and said: "Sit down first. I know you are all shocked. In fact, our three team leaders are just like you. After seeing this prophecy,
, are also very worried about the country's losses in the earthquake. However, I can tell you here that the impact of this earthquake on us is very small. Except for the unfortunate deaths of fifteen compatriots who were traveling locally, the tsunami basically had no impact on our country.
.”
Phew~!
Wang Jun's words made most of the people in the conference hall breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everyone had regained their composure, Wang Jun continued: "The general content of this prophecy is this. There are still...three minutes until the earthquake occurs. A group of Director Li has already sent people to the National Earthquake
Bureau, as soon as they detect news of an earthquake, they will notify us immediately. In addition, if such an earthquake really occurs, the TV station will report it immediately. Please wait patiently now. Xiaolin, go turn on the TV.
.”
Lin Hongqi stood up in response, turned on the prepared TV, and adjusted it to the news channel. This channel only started broadcasting last year. It broadcasts news programs 24 hours a day. Which domestic media has the most timely news?
, then it must be none other than this one.
When the news anchor's voice came from the TV, the atmosphere in the conference hall became relaxed again. Some people began to whisper and discuss what they had just heard. When they saw the three people sitting at the round table
The leader started smoking, and everyone in the conference hall immediately started puffing away.
Gao Liang and Fang Jian, who were sitting in front of me, naturally joined this army of cultivators.
The two of them were "breathing in and out" while discussing the identity of "Tang Sanzang" with great interest.
"Fat Gao, do you think anyone in this world can really predict the future?" Fang Jian puffed out a puff of smoke, the smoke covering his face, and said leisurely.
Gao Liang replied with a smoke ring and said: "Predict the future? I heard what Lao Wang said before, don't you think he is a person from the future?"
"These are all things that disappeared. At that time, everyone just said this nonsense. Thinking about it now, I feel that Tang Sanzang is more like a person with precognitive abilities than a person from the future."
Gao Liang smoked a cigarette, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "No, didn't you say that guy also sent a photo of the future? If he is a person with the ability to predict the future, where did his photo come from?"
Fang Jian did not answer immediately. Instead, he finished the last puff of cigarette in his mouth, then roughly stomped on the ground, and then said: "We have not figured this out. If we look at the photos alone, he is indeed
It’s like there will be more people in the future.”
I interjected from the side: "Two leaders, has this Tang Sanzang mastered the method of time travel?"
Gao Liang nodded heavily and said, "It's also possible, maybe that Tang Sanzang found a time machine."
Perhaps because she was bored with waiting, even Lin Qianyi joined our conversation, but she was focused on another issue: "Section Chief Fang, since Tang Sanzang is willing to tell the country about the future, why do we have to spend so much money?"
Zhou Zhang went to find him? After finding him, will he also be imprisoned in his freedom and locked up to serve the country for the rest of his life? "
Lin Qianyi's words made Gao Liang frown: "Xiao Lin, you have said something. I know you are thinking about Qian Ran again, but I hope you don't bring your emotions into your work..."
"sorry……"
Looking at Lin Qianyi who lowered her head, I blinked and couldn't understand what they just said. Who was Qianran that Gao Liang was talking about just now? Qianyi...Qianran, could it be that Qianran that Gao Liang was talking about was Qianran.
Of course, she is the rumored sister of Lin Qianyi?
Among the four people sitting here, I seemed to be the only one who didn’t know the meaning of what Gao Liang said, because obviously Fang Jian also knew. He looked at Lin Qianyi lowering her head and immediately interrupted to change the subject: "Xiao Lin, what do you want?
More. Although the country wants to find Tang Sanzang because it wants to know more information about the future, it is more out of concern and protection."
"Protect?" Lin Qianyi raised her head and looked at Fang Jian with tears in her eyes.
"That's right." Fang Jian continued: "Think about it, if ordinary people could know what would happen in the future, would they tell the country like Tang Sanzang did?"
Lin Qianyi shook her head without hesitation, and I also sighed in my heart: Being able to predict the future is such a weird, terrifying but lucky thing. If it were me, my first thought might not necessarily be to make a fortune.
Boring things like picking up girls, but I will definitely not immediately think of reporting this matter to the country. Instead, I will use this ability on myself, for example, use this ability to find my adoptive father or something.
.
"You think so, and I think most people in society should be the same as you. Although the country has developed quite well in recent years, the social atmosphere has become worse and worse. I heard
Recently on the Internet, there is also a popular saying about the Fifty Cent Party, which means that as long as those who speak for the country are taking the country's money, a good word can earn fifty cents. In such an environment, people like Tang Sanzang can appear,
It’s simply a miracle.”
"So even Chief No. 1 said that Tang Sanzang was a staunch patriot. Since he is willing to dedicate his secrets to the country, the country cannot let him down. In my opinion, this Tang Sanzang still doesn't know his secrets.
How dangerous the situation is, no matter whether his predictions about the future are true or not, at least some of the evidence he gave in the first letter has been confirmed by the General Staff... By the way, the general content of the first letter
Do you all know?"
Seeing us nodding, he continued: "The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty. People from the General Staff have analyzed that the value of the first letter alone is enough for foreign intelligence forces to find Tang Sanzang at all costs.
Once they know the existence of Tang Sanzang, he will not only lose his freedom, but may even be in danger of his life. Therefore, we must find him and protect him."
After listening to Fang Jian's explanation, Lin Qianyi's mood improved significantly.
And after the conversation just now, before I knew it, the hands of the clock had reached nine o'clock.
Almost at the same moment, everyone closed their mouths in unison, and everyone's eyes were focused on the TV screen.
The morning news was being broadcast on TV. After more than a minute of news summary, we did not hear any news about the earthquake.
Someone suddenly started whispering in the room, and Director Lu from the second team patted the table to tell everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, be quiet. There may be a delay between when the TV station receives the news and when it broadcasts the news. Hongqi, please contact the comrades at the Earthquake Bureau first to see if they have detected the earthquake."
"yes!"
Lin Hongqi stood up from his seat, walked out of the conference room, and made a phone call.
At the same time, Wang Jun was also discussing something with the other two team leaders. I heard him seem to be saying that the news from the Seismological Bureau alone may not be accurate. It would be better to let Director Li of the team borrow the information from the National Security Bureau.
In the name of the applicant, call the embassy in Southeast Asia to confirm.
Director Li nodded and immediately named one of his subordinates, asking him to make arrangements as soon as possible.
Just as the team member from the Ministry of National Security trotted towards the door of the conference hall and was about to make a call, the door was suddenly pushed open. Lin Hongqi, who had just walked out, trotted in, looking panicked.
He said to Wang Jun and the other three: "Team Leader Wang, Team Leader Li, Team Leader Lu! We have been fooled!"
"What do you mean?" Director Lu of the Second Department of the General Staff stood up and said, "Xiao Lin, calm down! Stay calm. What's going on? Didn't you ask you to call the Earthquake Bureau? What did they say?"
Lin Hongqi raised his hands, patted his cheek hard to calm down, and then said: "Dear team leaders, the Earthquake Administration has contacted them. As of my call to inquire, they have not found any large-scale
The clues about the earthquake...that is to say, there was no earthquake or tsunami disaster in the south at all!"
As soon as Lin Hongqi finished speaking, the entire conference hall fell into a deathly silence. Just a few seconds later, the silence suddenly collapsed, and the surrounding area suddenly crackled like a few drops of cold water poured into a pan.
They kept asking: "The Earthquake Bureau did not detect the earthquake? What does this mean?" "Does this still need an explanation? It's just that we were fooled. That Tang Sanzang's prediction was not accurate at all!" "Could it be our timing?
Wrong, isn't there a jet lag in the Indian Ocean?" "You're just guessing! Didn't Team Leader Wang just say it was Beijing time when he read it? That was what Tang Sanzang said himself, there can be no mistake!"
Without any further explanation, everyone has realized that the prediction of this Indian Ocean tsunami is very likely to be a hoax. The hundred or so of us, and even the entire country, may very well be fooled by that Tang Sanzang.
