Chapter 51 Isn't it just to invite Jason to dinner, don't panic!
Cherry City, suburbs.
In the courtyard of the safe house, the three of them, John, did not stop their work because of the arrival of the old general. Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the three of them continued to clean up the messy courtyard of their home as before.
Delbon, who had previously expressed his willingness to help, naturally followed suit and continued to clean up.
However, this member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' was keenly aware of the differences between the three of them.
John concentrated on the work in his hands, but the breath on his body became colder and colder, just like the cold wind blowing from the depths of the forest at night in winter, making people shiver.
Brian, who seems to be diligent, is actually a little absent-minded. When moving the fig tree, his eyes will always glance at the guard in front of the safe house. When the guard's eyes sweep over, the middle-aged father will change his mind again.
The warm smile that is harmless to humans and animals.
But when the guard's gaze strays, a hint of evil will appear in his eyes.
And McCall?
His eyes were filled with vigilance.
Not only was he warily looking in the direction of the safe house, but he was also wary of the parking helicopter, and the veins in his hand holding the broom handle were popping.
Delbon had no doubts about the determination of John, Brian and McCall to fight back once those guards did something excessive.
He didn't want to get involved.
"Hey, guys."
"It's fine."
"That old general is a good man."
Delbon began to try to liven up the depressed atmosphere.
"Yeah, I can see that."
Brian nodded.
"Good guy?"
"Good people are the most terrifying."
"Because he thinks that what he does is for your good, and the people around him think it is a good thing because he is a good person. As for you, who is the most direct participant?"
"No one will ask you what you think."
"In other words, no one pays attention to your ideas at all."
"After all, you are not them."
McCall sneered. He supported the shovel with both hands, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.
There is no doubt that those memories are definitely not good ones.
"So, I hate people and prefer dogs."
John rarely spoke.
He straightened up, with vicissitudes and hesitation in his eyes. After looking around at the outsiders, he made a gesture towards Brian McCall.
With a very simple gesture, he stretched out his finger and pointed it at himself, Brian McCall, and then clenched his fist and raised it in the air.
Immediately, Brian McCall nodded.
And, take action separately.
Brian and McCall left, and John stayed where they were. Delbon looked at the two people leaving, then looked at John who was continuing to clean the yard, and couldn't help opening his mouth.
"What does this mean?"
"Are we in the same group?"
"Can you tell me a little bit?"
"Otherwise it would make me look like a fool."
Delbon asked again and again.
No one wants to be a fool, especially after Delbon discovered the secrets of these three men, he felt as curious as a hundred claws scratching his heart.
"clean."
John said calmly.
"?"
Delbon replied with a funny expression. Although he didn't understand what happened at all, he was sure that it was definitely not cleaning.
Subconsciously, Delbon wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but looking at John's cold face, this member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' swallowed his words.
Of course it’s not fear!
He just thinks cleaning is pretty good.
Look, petals all over the ground, isn’t it a pity?
With so many petals, making floral dew and essential oils are the best choices.
He will use his actions to turn everything into treasure.
Immediately, Delbon took action.
But Delbon didn't notice it at all, John glanced at him with the corner of his eye.
Is this a ‘mysterious person’?
John thought silently.
Then, after comparing Jason and his previous enemy Edward, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Is this fake?
It must be.
Erha also often mixes with wolves, doesn't he?
With this definition in mind, John stopped paying more attention to the other person and began to complete the work in hand.
As for other things?
He believed that Brian and McCall would do better.
Just like he believed that Jason could handle this conversation.
In the safe house, Jason was sitting on the sofa.
Opposite is the old general, and on the left is the old instructor—this conversation only started after the old instructor entered the safe room.
There were only three people in the whole living room.
The remaining people left at the old general's signal.
“Nice house, simple and practical.”
The old instructor smiled and praised.
It's not that he's perfunctory, but he really likes the style here. There are no complicated decorations, and the simplest appearance is used to achieve the original goal. Just like fighting, don't bother with things that can be solved with one punch.
He talks a lot of nonsense, but at the end of the conversation, he cannot convince the other party, so he still has to rely on his fists.
As for convincing the other party?
The old instructor firmly believes that fists are the best education, far more than verbal warnings.
"John is a great guy."
"Brian, McCall too."
"Do you know how I felt after seeing the information about the three of them?"
"I just wanted to grab my adjutant and ask him why he put these three exaggerated guys outside the army. Then, I couldn't help but want to let them join this 'civilian conscription.'"
The old general spread his hands half-jokingly.
"Civil conscription?"
Jason asked about topics of interest.
And about the three Johns?
They are friends, but he has no right to make any reply for John and the other three.
Everything depends on their own choice.
Similarly, Jason believed that the three Johns would do the same thing if they encountered similar things.
Mutual respect is the basis for becoming friends.
"Well, civilian recruitment!"
The old general nodded, and his body, which had been sitting upright, became even more upright. He suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and said with a serious face: "The current situation is very unfavorable to us."
"In the frontal battlefield with the Sabi Stars, we won a partial victory, but overall, we are at a disadvantage."
"It's even an absolute disadvantage."
Speaking of this, the old general frowned.
He really didn't want to admit this, but as a soldier, he was honest and honest, so he didn't hide it.
"The moon is just the opponent's outpost."
"Their home planet is the other's base."
"And now, we don't even know where their home planet is."
"But on the contrary, they know where we are -"
"ground!"
"They have already begun to infiltrate us, and it is difficult for us to defend against such infiltration."
After the old general finished speaking, he took a deep breath and entered a state of silence.
Jason knew very well that the so-called "difficult to defend" refers not only to the "infiltrators", but also to the "battleships" that appeared in the sky before.
Jason didn't know how this battleship appeared.
But he knew what the appearance of this 'battleship' meant.
It means that the Sabi Stars can easily destroy any city on the ground. It means that the Sabi Stars can carry out devastating blows to any landmark building on the ground at will. It means that countless ordinary people will become people who can be easily wiped out.
of numbers.
"Didn't we find anything about its appearance?"
Jason asked.
The word "we" made the old instructor laugh.
The old man, who was as strong as a bear, patted Jason's shoulder hard and then said.
"No."
"No matter whether it is Rael's place or my place, there is no discovery at all."
"It's like it appeared out of nowhere."
"And that in itself is impossible."
The old instructor said, looking at the old general.
He believed that this old friend's men would make greater discoveries now after the initial exploration.
In fact, this is also the case.
The old general raised his right hand, and a report began to appear on the microcomputer.
The report data is complex, with various numbers and symbols that Jason has seen appear in it, but more often than not, there are symbols that Jason has never seen before.
μ?∑?wff????
What's this?
Why do I feel like I’ve seen it before but can’t remember it?
After Jason explored his memory for three seconds, he quickly saw the summary at the bottom.
This is a 'living' battleship.
There are both mechanical and biological reactions.
It does not belong to any kind of existence in our cognition.
"A living battleship?"
Jason was stunned.
No wonder it's so delicious.
wrong!
No wonder I resisted when I ate the power core.
"Is the battleship still alive?"
The old instructor's eyes widened in surprise.
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it."
The old general shook his head.
"So, it can avoid our surveillance?"
"Like this?"
The old instructor frowned, took a deep breath, and made a curled up posture.
His figure, which was originally as strong as a bear's, immediately shrank a bit.
Just a little bit, it still looks similar to a bear.
Before, he was a lazy and well-fed bear.
Now the bear took a deep breath and prepared to climb the tree to steal the honey.
But Jason understood the meaning.
Since the battleship is alive, can such a battleship change its form?
What would this living battleship look like under normal conditions?
In other words, what can it be disguised as?
besides!
What would it taste like in disguise?
Saliva began to secrete in Jason's mouth involuntarily.
Don’t be dominated by ‘appetite’!
Jason immediately came to his senses and began to tell himself.
"General Forno, what about other cities?"
Jason shifted his attention.
"Everything is under control, only such a strange warship appeared."
The old general replied.
"is that so?"
Jason frowned.
He was definitely not regretting that he could only eat one battleship, but he was thinking whether this meant that such a battleship was also very rare for the Sabi people and they could only send out one.
Or, only if one ship is dispatched, it will not be discovered.
When Jason expressed this idea, the old general nodded immediately.
"People from the staff have proposed this idea before, and we will rearrange the radar."
"besides……"
"Jason, are you willing to become a full-time soldier?"
The old general looked at Jason and extended an invitation.
"Master Chief is just fine."
Jason replied like this.
"Understood."
The old general nodded again, and then stood up and prepared to leave.
For Lieutenant General Rey Fourno, time is precious.
The reason why I was able to take the time to meet Jason was because Jason showed great strength that cannot be ignored and played a key role in this battle.
Especially the latter, otherwise no matter how powerful the old general is, he will never appear.
After all, there is no shortage of powerful 'mysterious people' around him.
"Your merits have been recorded. If you need anything, please tell Cortana directly. She will be fully responsible."
The old general said before opening the door and leaving.
"OK."
Jason replied.
Standing in the courtyard in front of the door, Jason, the old instructor, watched the old general leave in a helicopter.
Before getting on the plane, Cortana, who was serving as the liaison officer, turned back and waved to Jason.
Jason nodded slightly in response.
"The military is actually a good place."
"There are some secret techniques lost in the outside world, as well as those potions."
"Jason, if you join, Rael will not be stingy."
The old instructor stood aside and said with a hint of regret.
In this regard, Jason looked indifferent.
In a world with a "mysterious side", the power of the official cannot be underestimated.
It is not inconceivable that some secret techniques that are lost to the outside world appear in official secret libraries.
Even, to some extent, it will be far beyond the imagination of ordinary mystical people.
Inheritance will always appear in any organization.
Especially, the one who won.
As long as your skills are good enough, you can easily get everything the loser has.
Otherwise, how did the ‘Spartan Potion’ appear?
Jason absolutely did not believe that it was because of the Sabi invasion that the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' and the 'Mysterious Side' collaborated to develop such a special potion in less than a year.
It must be that we have been researching it for a long time.
The addition of the ‘mysterious side’ may have played a catalytic role.
Or maybe it's just some kind of cover-up.
But no matter what, Jason will not choose to officially join.
Not only does he dislike being restrained, but also because he has too many secrets.
Once discovered, it will be a lot of trouble.
If there is too much trouble, it becomes a disaster.
Jason didn't want to be a nuisance.
I don't want to be regarded as a disaster.
The old man, who was as strong as a bear, looked at Jason's indifferent expression and couldn't help but pat Jason's shoulder hard again.
This time, it was harder than before.
"Young people should be more energetic and should not imitate those mystical tricksters and put on a pretentious attitude."
"Come to 'Indomitable Bronze' often in the future. Those little guys are looking forward to your appearance, especially after what happened just now...'Battleship'? What a terrifying talent."
With these words, the old instructor also left.
After Delbon waved goodbye to the old instructor, Jason had already walked in front of him.
"Sir Jason?"
Delbon looked at Jason walking towards him and was startled.
"Do you still remember your previous promise?"
Jason asked seriously.
Seeing Jason's serious look, Delbon immediately carefully recalled what kind of promise he had made to Jason.
However, I didn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time.
"Can you give me a little hint?"
"You know, too many things have happened in the past two days, and my brain is no longer full."
Delbon raised his right hand, pinched his index finger with his thumb, and exposed the little knuckle of one index finger, with an awkward smile on his face.
"You said before that you knew a good store..."
"Invite you to dinner!"
"right!"
"I promised to treat you to dinner!"
"Shall we leave now?"
"It will take a while to get back to the city from here, just in time for lunch."
Before Jason could finish speaking, Delbon thought of his promise and spoke again and again.
At the same time, Delbon breathed a sigh of relief.
It just scared him to death.
He thought he had forgotten some important promise.
