The loud rock music was playing on the car stereo. Accompanied by the deep singing voice, drinking Coke and driving on the coastal road should have been a relaxing and beautiful thing, but Jiang Yan was not in this mood at all now. He was wearing a formal operator uniform.
He was wearing a uniform, protective clothing, and basic weapons hung securely on his body. More importantly, the person on the other end of the earphone talking to him on the phone was his immediate superior.
"So Jiang Yan, you are almost at Queen's Harbor, right?"
"Yes, I am driving on the coastal highway in Elizabeth City now." Jiang Shao responded, "I will call you in advance as you asked."
"I understand, then, now let me introduce you to other information.
"Elizabeth City, adjacent to City A, is a coastal mobile city. Its main industry is shipping. Although there are some beaches, they are not enough to develop tourism. Without tourists, it will save you a lot of trouble.
"The Titanic, which is expected to arrive at Queen's Harbor this morning, is an old cruise ship that uses a hybrid drive. It had called for rescue after the accident, and not long ago the first batch of rescued people had been rescued by local authorities.
After questioning, they believed that the sudden explosion was caused by a boiler failure."
Jiang Yan integrated the information he knew and asked: "How long ago was this?" "Maybe it was before you called me." "So," Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and tried his best not to let himself go.
The complaint was too obvious, "You still have a lot of things you know that you haven't told me, right?"
"That's right." Jiang Yan could imagine Walton's laughter, "I'm afraid that if you talk too much, you will become passive and slow down."
"Continue to talk about what we just said. The biggest doubt about this incident is that the Titanic is a hybrid cruise ship. Even if a boiler failure occurs, whether it is powered by Originium or fossil power, it will not explode directly and can be sustained until it docks. And according to the
According to past data, it has been well maintained, and it is almost impossible for such an accident to happen to it."
"So, you suspect this is a man-made sabotage incident?"
"Yes, and the person who planned it is not an ordinary person - do you still have the ring I gave you? Put that necklace around your neck."
Jiang Yan freed up a hand to put the necklace over his head, "...it's ready."
"That is a token of a certain organization, and this organization was the biggest accomplice in the fall of Illaina."
Jiang Yan's mouth swore uncontrollably, and he almost lost control of the steering wheel: "You damn long ago knew how Illaoi fell!? You -" He couldn't even find a suitable English adjective for it.
To express his feelings, he temporarily switched the language. "*Yanguo swears*!"
"Hey, don't be so excited - I just found out about this not long ago." Walton did not go into detail about the matter, but continued: "As for why I gave you that ring, there is only one purpose: to find someone with this ring."
Ring someone, or, let them find you."
"——So, I can understand it this way:" Jiang Yan picked up the Coke can from the side, "You speculate that the people in this organization are the masterminds of this incident. You gave me the ring because you want me to do it whether actively or passively."
Is this what it means to meet them?"
"That's right. And if you see him, you'd better handle things cleanly and don't expose yourself."
Jiang Hao drank the remaining liquid in one gulp, crushed the Coke can and threw it aside. "You're speculating, right?" "I don't need you to give me a Chinese lesson, Jiang Hao. What's unfounded can only be called speculation."
"
After listening to Walton's information, Jiang Yan felt that this matter became more and more confusing. "I still don't understand. You said this matter is very important to me. What do you mean?"
"Of course it's important, Jiang Yan - because you are very important to them. Just stop here, don't ask any more questions, I have to find someone to ask." After that, Walton hung up the phone.
The more Jiang Yan thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He simply took off his earphones and threw them aside. He said bitterly, "Damn it, the damn Riddler."
Jiang Yan opened the car window and let the wind with the unique smell of the ocean flow into the car and his head - he needed to wake up. Jiang Yan lowered the speed of the car, and when he finally calmed down, he said to himself
asked,
"This is not the real sea—is that what you meant to say, Ajman?"
He didn't remember much about that night in the Longmen underground boxing ring. But there were two things for sure: first, some consciousness that was different from his and Ajman's could affect him; second, when he fell to the ground and his consciousness
The vision he saw when he was not quite awake actually happened: a man stabbed the body with a knife.
...And the wound that Huang Baiwan stabbed into his stomach that day has completely disappeared. As for the Originium fragment on it, after rigorous medical examination, it did not have any impact on Jiang Yan.
The more miraculous Ajman's body is, the greater the doubts left to Jiang Shao; the closer the impact Ajman leaves to Jiang Shao, the more urgent the need to uncover the mystery of his life experience. Walton was crazy about him before departure.
He hinted at spying on him, and at the same time hinted that the matter would have something to do with Ajman - and himself. Jiang Yan naturally had no time to inquire and think more. But he only knew the danger of the matter at this juncture, and Jiang Yan didn't have much time.
Go ahead and get confused.
Core question: Go or stay?
The enemy is a superpower who can easily subvert a mobile city like Illaina. The danger of staying here to continue the mission can be imagined. "But Walton said... I am very important to them." Jiang Shao
Muttering softly, the nearest U-turn point was just ahead, and he needed to make a decision before getting there.
If I am important to them, then think about it conversely: no matter what, they cannot be less important to me. If I leave, it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be opportunities to contact them in the future. On the other hand, if I don't go
Find them, this doesn't guarantee they...
"Ah." Jiang Yan's sight was suddenly attracted by a strange object on the coastline derived from the U-turn. "Oh my god... is that a fucking person!?" Jiang Yan quickly stopped the car to prepare for rescue - this
The place is not close to the city. Regardless of whether he was a passenger on the Titanic or not, he was shipwrecked and landed ashore, it would be too tragic if he died in this place.
Jiang Yan trotted to this man's side. Looking at this man's posture, he couldn't help but sing the song "Flower of Hope": This brother faced down and made a leader's posture, which really matched the situation. However, with this posture on the beach, it is very likely that the respiratory tract has been damaged.
It was blocked. Jiang Yan turned him over: This guy was lucky to have a stone on his chest, so his mouth and nose were not in direct contact with the sand.
"Hey, if I had known this would happen, I should have brought the reagent Nate gave me." After Jiang Yan confirmed that the man was still breathing, there was no way for further treatment: the limited conditions cannot be solved by perseverance. Before he wakes up
It’s not good to leave now, let’s first determine the identity of this person.
This is a young Sakaz man with distinctive white hair. He is wearing a black shabby coat and jeans, with a bandage on his right hand. He may be a wounded person. Jiang Yan rummaged through his pockets, trying to find something to prove his identity.
In the end, I only found some money, a pack of cigarettes, a harmonica, and a photo of this person in my pocket. The writing on the back of the photo had been wetted by sea water and was unrecognizable.
"Damn, what a talent. Don't people go out without their ID cards these days?" Jiang Yan threw the things away with some annoyance and started to look for the Sakaz brother's chest bag, and then he found -
A silver ring engraved with an unknown word: R"lyeh.
Jiang Yan blinked his eyes in confusion, did he find it?
Just as he was holding the ring in a daze, a shadow spear appeared out of thin air and attacked his head!
