Rain or shine

All over the world there are departments where Sentinels and Guides serve, agencies that arrange for them to perform classified criminal or military work, towers.However, the core of the entire world, the most authoritative tower, still belongs to the headquarters.

The long horseshoe-shaped table extends from one end of the conference hall to the other. The blankets on the floor are soft and comfortable. The two walls are decorated with portraits of outstanding national leaders or special contributors. The double-layer mechanical doors are closed, and there are sentry guards outside. guard.The left and right transparent touch screens occupying a total of eight meters are shining brightly, and on them are detailed reports on the personnel structure, work nature and action content.

"Ridiculous." Someone on the table retorted, with an old and hoarse voice, "Qi Nuofeng, you previously mobilized personnel, built your own tower, and your power has exceeded the limit, and now you are talking about an unwarranted organization. How can the empire let you young people wanton? presumptuous?"

Qi Nuofeng stood at the gap of the horseshoe table, in the center of the conference hall, and said with a straight voice, calm and calm: "I don't care whether it's absurd or not, if you can achieve a remarkable record in a year, will you be able to recognize it?" See [-] He continued, "Station will take over the tasks related to 'materialization research violations and crimes'. After one year's round table discussion, I promise to deliver the results here, and I will punish myself if I fail in vain."

After saying these words, the highest-ranking elder was willing to give in.

A glimpse of Qi Nuofeng is the chief sentinel, and he has great influence among young people. The Qi family behind him has been in politics for seven generations. His fiancée Zuo Danyun is a signboard needed by the army. Top scientific researchers and diplomats, and now recruiting the Perot brothers, are the lifeblood of the business economy.These powerful and powerful people are actually united, how can we not let them hate and fear.

After getting the permission, Qi Nuofeng bowed calmly, took the suit jacket on the back of the chair and walked out the door.

As soon as he got on the floating car, Zuo Danyun's voice was broadcast on the mobile terminal: "Those Sleeping Beauties woke up and made a fuss, come back and have a look?"

Since Julius agreed to make a smart phone for Jason on a whim, he cast the net very wide, and even dug out the photos of him secretly taken at school.He is aboveboard and open-minded. If he doesn't know what kind of person the other party is, how can he make a smart phone that suits him?

Julius is an inventor of his own, and his work must either feel perfect, or simply be ashes, so there is no need to worry about it.

But the more he investigated Jason, the more he found that this person was indeed the person nominated by Qi Nuofeng, who turned out to be out of nowhere. His information was recorded from the time he entered Lucas, and it was blank before that, without parents and household registration.

Julius stole the video of every drill in their school. Although the details are not clear because of the angle relationship, there is no doubt that even without fixed weapons, his strength is quite good, especially in personal tests. His strong offensive style is very obvious, but the team retreated and restrained.

But what interests Julius the most is his mental state as a sentinel - the coexistence of high mental strength and high self-control, which is definitely called talent.

Not to mention, this piece of fat has not been taken by anyone yet.

Thinking of this, Julius grinned, his whole body leaned lazily on the swivel chair, his legs squatted irregularly, making the legs and the chair surface folded into a big triangle.There are more than a dozen small semi-floating fluorescent screens in front of him, some are replays, some are sophisticated data, and on both sides closest to him are photos of Jason's hands and Rei Sakai's medical examination files, and in the middle are scans with green frames. Screen.

He supported the frame of the mirror that had slipped from the bridge of his nose, and moved the rotating pen holder back and forth with his right hand, over and over again, his eyes glazed over.On his left is the brewed coffee. He drank half a cup, and the rest was already cold. The takeaway box was stained with grease and jam, which was very dirty.Large and small balls of cardboard accumulated on the ground, and the trash cans were piled full.However, the rectangular tabletop that was laid out by his hands was exceptionally clean, with brand new white paper on it.

The electronic watch on the screen quietly changed the numbers second by second. Finally, Julius's eyelashes trembled slightly, ending the long silence.He leaned forward, his head was lowered, his eyes were only about four inches away from the paper, and the nib of the pen danced on the paper, sketching quickly and making a brushing sound.

Bang dong, fists and feet meet, and the sound of the wind is harsh.

Jason blocked Andre's ankle and retreated and twisted back. Andre dodged with an upside-down somersault on the ground with his hands on the ground. He slid back a few steps and was still not stable.

The booing of the sentinels was in full swing, and the applause and applause came one after another. They followed the two people who were practicing gymnastics and saw their tricks, and felt very happy and enjoyable.

Andre stood on his feet, and the knife in his hand was unbiased, and he slashed across the air at the back of Jason's neck.Jason didn't turn his head, instead of hiding, he immediately bent his knees, bent his arms, and dropped his elbows, touching Andre's shoulders.

Seeing this, Andre turned his waist around his back. At this moment, the opponent's center of gravity is out of balance, and he can't dodge. If he is a catcher, the victory will be divided.Unexpectedly, Jason was unaware, and accelerated to the ground and kicked backwards. Andre reacted quickly and hurriedly jumped to avoid it. Jason stepped forward and firmly held Andre's arm, suppressing it, and descending fall.

"Wow." Andre blinked, the lights of the high dome on the training ground were dazzling, next to Jason's sweaty face and outstretched hand, he held it fiercely, the sweat on his back soaked the T-shirt, "Great shocked."

"Time's up?" he asked.

"Ah."

The two men of similar height hooked their shoulders together, and Andre waved his hand to announce the end of today's course for the recruits.

"Why hasn't Rafa replied to my message?" He complained while checking the mobile terminal, "I shouldn't have allowed him to go to the offices of the two sentries alone."

Jason couldn't take it anymore and gave him a blank look, he was really too lazy to take care of his hypocrisy.

The surveillance in the suspect's temporary living room recorded the incident clearly, and Qi Nuofeng hurried back to his own office at the station, checked the video several times, confirmed that it was correct, raised his hand, turned off the screen, turned around and said loudly: "Please. "

Zuo Danyun leaned against the door frame and glanced at Raphael who was standing between them.

"As a guide, I can prove three things."

"First, when they were in a coma, their minds were normal; second, when they were mutated, they did not respond to the mental waves, indicating that they were under the control of the mind, and not the guide's mental manipulation; third, their senses were sound, and their perception of water and fire was normal, but they could not Simply think they have minds."

"It's not the guide's control," Zuo Danyun repeated, looking at Qi Nuofeng, "That's medicine or supernatural powers. The former is okay, at most a dozen human bombs, but the latter is hard to say. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open." , remote control, we have to guard against it."

Qi Nuofeng nodded, and said to her: "Let Julius assist Rei Sakai to see if he can accurately locate the cause of the mutation." Then he zoomed in and looked at Raphael: "Do you have any reservations?"

"A bold guess." Raphael replied, "The premise of telling you is that you don't doubt any of the subordinates you personally selected."

"I don't doubt it."

Raphael's gaze locked onto Qi Nuofeng, as if he was surveying the depth of a well, it was so gloomy and chilling.His spiritual tentacles stretched out, ready to make people taste the pain piercing the heart, but Qi Nuofeng stood still.

After a long time, he slowly said: "There are no coincidences in the world. They won't riot just when we come, that is, we triggered a certain switch."

"Assuming their mutations are purposeful, there could be many reasons. For example, we have something they want, they killed us to prevent some secrets from being exposed, they think we have a certain connection with them, and so on."

"Rewatched the video, but it gave me a guess—"

Rafael stood up and called up the beginning of the video.On the screen, he calls Andre and Jason to get closer, and the two gather together.

He pressed pause, and pointed at the back of a person with his finger, Zuo Danyun and Qi Nuofeng looked at each other.

"If I hadn't said that and Jason hadn't moved forward, would things have turned around?"

Raphael lowered his hand, and the picture continued to move forward. The next second after the pause, a change occurred.

The scenery around the Station is good, with a large green belt, the roads are clean and tidy, and the air in the morning is especially good, with a faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and you can see the blue sky when you look up.

The number of floors in the elevator changed. Through the glass, Jason watched the trees grow low and the ground recede.If nothing happens in the morning, he often jogs in circles for four to ten minutes.

Ding dong. {You have reached the top floor}.

The Station has [-] floors, and the highest floor has only one room, Qi Nuofeng's office.

He was a little surprised to be summoned suddenly by his immediate superior, but his curiosity prevailed—he was eager to know what kind of person this chief sentinel was and why he was selected in the first place.

"Please come in."

Jason heard the words and pushed the door open.

The whole room is grand and calm, the leather sofa is spacious and comfortable, the marble coffee table has six seats, the long screen occupies the size of a wall, the official documents and illustrations are classified into large bookcases on both sides, and the retractable ladder leans against the corner for easy access. Take it at any time, there are a few documents, three or four seals and a portable computer on the desk.

Jason didn't salute, because he didn't know whether what Qi Nuofeng wanted to talk about was public or private.

The man in front of him was standing at the desk, with a resolute face, and his gestures were knowledgeable and reasonable, without losing his military demeanor.He picked up an envelope from the desk and said straight to the point: "This is an invitation letter for the Imperial Sentinel Championship."

Jason's chest trembled heavily, he stared at Qi Nuofeng without saying a word.

"I know you want it. I haven't summoned you all this time, and it's because the invitation letter is only sent now." Qi Nuofeng said, "I can give you the qualification."

"Whatever you want, just ask." On weekdays, Jason's tone would be much more polite, but now he is so excited that he has no time to think about other things.

Qi Nuofeng didn't care about his subordinates' offense to him at all: "Do you mind partnering with Julius at work? What I mean is the cooperation with a spiritual link between whistle and direction."

Jason was stunned, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly. He looked at the other party suspiciously, and blurted out a question: "The boss's responsibilities also include solving the unmarked marriage problem?"

Even the well-informed Qi Nuofeng was choked up by Jason's confrontational but well-founded question.

"Of course not." He coughed a few times in embarrassment, and denied, "I want you to be a partner because I need unscrupulous power. The business, government, and military are restricted to a certain extent by the public opinion of superiors in society. Julius and You are much more free, and it is very important to me to bury this dark thread."

"Secondly, it's like the relationship between a gun and a wrench. The power of a sentinel needs the assistance of a guide to maximize its power. The stronger the two sides, the higher the peak will naturally be. Although the current chief guide is Raphael, Julius' strength is by no means inferior to Next." Qi Nuofeng sang and prayed, "Based on you now, can you be 100% sure that you have beaten Andre who was at his peak mental strength? You are opponents in the championship."

"I don't force you to combine, it's just a spiritual link. It's nothing like an ordinary sentinel guide, or are you giving up just because you can't give in?"

Jason took a deep breath, Caroline and Leon said, if he comes out on top, tell him about that guy, the tournament starts next spring, the sooner the better, he's been waiting so damn long, any Don't want to miss the opportunity.

"I promise you."

Even though he has never had the experience of connecting with the spirit of a guide, what Qi Nuofeng said is true. This is a part of normal work. The road is paved and there is only one step left.

Jason finally took the white envelope, rubbing his fingers unwillingly to let go, the paper rustled...it was so thin, yet so thick, so light, and yet so heavy.

The author has something to say: Qi Nuofeng will not doubt Jason, but will use him (not in a bad way)
