Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The fragrance of flowers spreads in the air, and water droplets slowly gather on the leaves, falling from the leaf tips and falling into the soil.

"Xiao Lin, where has your boss lady been these days? She hasn't seen her for many days."

"She went out for something."

Lin Yuan smiled, holding a humidifier in his hand, and was watering each pot of flowers. Every day, people from nearby came over to ask about Tang Rao's situation. It had been so many days, and Tang Rao didn't even call back. Pass.

Lin Yuan still patiently took care of the flower house every day. Day after day, he always felt that something was missing. Lin Yuan looked at the door. Pedestrians were coming and going on the street. He continued to lower his head and started watering the flowers.

After a while, Lin Yuan went upstairs as usual and started cleaning the living room. Lin Yuan would clean it every day because he knew that Tang Rao loved to be clean.

It's almost 9 o'clock. Lin Yuan has cleaned up from top to bottom and is ready to go home. Recently, his parents have been calling frequently, hoping that Lin Yuan can go home and take the exam for business. Lin Yuan's major at University is agriculture. It is very advantageous. Not many people study this major because it requires long-term dealings with soil.

The only industries that deal with soil that can be found in the city are agriculture and flower cultivation. The former is relatively stable, while the latter can only work in some flower industries that have been stable for a long time. As for the luxury goods like flowers, only the rich can Ordinary people will buy them during special seasons.

Perhaps because Tang Rao was not in the shop, the business of the flower house, which was usually pretty good, was a bit bleak during this period. The pots of flowers under the faint yellow light were fragrant and pleasant. Lin Yuan stood there for a while and then turned around. Walked towards the gate, he will come again at 6am tomorrow morning.

jingle

"Guests, we are closed!"

Lin Yuan said politely, but the next second his eyes widened, and he stood motionless in the narrow flower rack aisle as if he was petrified.

A familiar fragrance came to him, and Lin Yuan kept swallowing. It wasn't until a slender and tender hand pushed Lin Yuan away slightly that he realized what he was saying, and uttered two words with a slightly trembling voice.

"boss!"

"What are you doing here? Help me buy some wine and food."

Tang Rao said with a smile and put his wallet in Lin Yuan's hand, who was stunned, and started to go upstairs. At this time, there were two people standing outside the door of the store.

"Aren't these Mr. Witte and Mr. Li Chu!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly walked over, moved out of the way, and wiped away the uncontrollable tears that overflowed from his eyes.

"Xiao Lin, I'm sorry to bother you again tonight."

Witte said and walked quickly, and Li Chu behind him smiled and touched Lin Yuan's chest.

"You have been with Tang Rao for so long, so be proactive. With such a good opportunity just now, shouldn't you give her a gentle hug?"

Lin Yuan's cheeks felt hot for a moment in embarrassment, when Tang Rao stuck his head out from the corridor.

"Go to Xiaolin quickly!"

Lin Yuan opened the door and ran, as if his body was injected with vitality for a moment. At this time, many people stopped in front of the store. Some people who knew Li Chu even came in to say hello to him. Witte and Li Chu were here Frequent visitors, everyone knew that the two were old friends of Tang Rao and relatively competent drinking companions.

"Xiao Lin, you are so happy when you encounter something good!"

Lin Yuan was running along the way. In his heart, he was actually missing Tang Rao during this period. It was only just now that he was convinced in his heart that as long as he could always be by Tang Rao's side, nothing had changed.

Tang Rao sat on the sofa in the living room on the second floor, holding up the ring in his hand. A beam of cyan light slowly flowed to form a light and shadow screen, and Deguna appeared on the screen.

"Come over to my house after handling the matter. It will be a meeting of the gods after many years!"

Deguna's eyes looked a little surprised, and she immediately laughed.

"Where's that bastard Gene!"

"The other two guys will be here with Gene later."

Li Chu and Witte, who came up, looked a little solemn, and Deguna nodded.

"It was more than 30 years ago that the seven of us came together. Why not choose to be in Congress?"

"It's Gene's suggestion. Let's hold a meeting at my house first. After a few days, when the section chiefs are busy with things, we can hold a formal meeting in Congress."

Li Chuyin said with a smile.

"Just satisfy that guy. After all, he and Tang Rao will leave the city soon."

"I understand, I will prepare some materials first."

After the call ended, Tang Rao leaned on the sofa and lit a cigarette. Witte and Li Chu also sat down.

"But having said that, your attitude towards that kid seems to be quite cold. I think it would be better to cut it off early. This will give him the light that he will never be able to chase. It will definitely be very painful for him in his future life."

"Can you say less?"

Werther glared at Li Chu and closed his mouth. Tang Rao didn't answer. He stared sideways at the flashing neon lights outside the window and blew out a puff of smoke softly.

Standing at the door of Section 2 again, many years ago, K raised his hands with some emotion, beams of red light swept across his body, and the small door on the right opened.

"R, long time no see."

K raised his hand and said hello to R who walked out of the small door with squinted eyes. R grinned and made a gesture of invitation. K put his hands in front of him and bowed. He was about to speak. The sound came from the door.

"No need to be polite, come in quickly."

K smiled awkwardly and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Mo Xiaolan behind the left door with his hands on his chin and smiling evilly. There was no one in the yard, and there were lights on the spacious lawn.

"Talking as we walk."

R turned around and pushed Mo Xiaolan towards the path on the left next to the wall. Under the wall was a flower bed with purple hydrangeas growing in large areas along the city wall. A fresh fragrance filled the air. .

"Tell me what is going on?"

K followed the two of them with his hands folded. Mo Xiaolan looked back at K and laughed.

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

K grinned awkwardly and said nothing. He used to be Mo Xiaolan's boss, and everything Mo Xiaolan did now was taught by him.

"Have you never thought about going back to the business department?"

K pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a wine merchant now. Once I pay off my house loan, I can save a pension to prepare for my old age."

Mo Xiaolan chuckled.

"I finally live like the person you hated the most before, congratulations!"

K curled his lips and waved his hands helplessly.

"Sorry."

K said, Mo Xiaolan shook his head, and the three of them walked along the flower bed for a while, then walked up a gravel path to the right. There was a small pavilion not far away.

Mo Xiaolan stared blankly at everything in front of her for a moment. In her memory, this small pavilion was the place where she cried for the first time when she joined the practice department.

K lowered his head in confusion.

What on earth have I done!

Distant memories began to revive in K's mind. K still remembered that it was a nice day. The rainy days in the past few days finally cleared up. At that time, Mo Xiaolan, who had just joined Section 2, was sitting here having lunch. Section 2 had just been established. Less than 1 year.

Mo Xiaolan has the worst academic performance among the graduates of God's College. Her friend Alpha from the same period has become the chief of Section 5.

"There is no time for you to have a leisurely lunch. Move quickly. There are riots in the north. It is up to us to go out and negotiate with those guys."

Mo Xiaolan looked at K with a confused expression.

"But Director K, I just took a bite."

K walked over without saying a word and kicked over Mo Xiaolan's lunch box.

"it's gone now!"

Mo Xiaolan's eyes turned red in an instant. Looking at the box of lunch her mother had made for her early, she couldn't help but start sobbing.

"You can't survive if you are so weak. Move quickly. Either follow us or pack up and leave tomorrow!"

K played an indispensable role in the composition of Section 2. Among the group of people selected by the Green God a long time ago, only three people, R, K, and C, passed the Green God's trial perfectly.

Section 2 was led by these three inhumane and extremely cold-blooded people.

It was Mo Xiaolan's normal routine to make rice with tears, and he would even be beaten and kicked. This kind of education was unbearable for an innocent girl.

The nature of Section 2 is completely different from the other 12 sections. It operates in the shadows. From the beginning, it is like Jean's hands and feet. It will always secretly carry out intelligence collection and latent investigation work in various places. Once the harm is determined, , Jean, the scavenger, will go over and deal with all those who try to disrupt the order of the city without hesitation.

Mo Xiaolan used to hate this approach and always had resistance. Until the explosion happened, everything changed.

"I'm sorry, lazy guy. The people who taught me how to survive in the past only taught me the things you are familiar with. Apart from that, I am nothing. In fact, I run around in the sun every day, work hard, and get together with friends from time to time. OK."

Mo Xiaolan smiled coldly and looked at K blankly.

"You can't escape K. No matter what you do now or what kind of life you live, you will never be able to wash it away in your life. Those two children really died."

A finger had been poked in front of Mo Xiaolan's forehead, but it was surrounded by green particles. K's eyes were slightly red, and he glared at Mo Xiaolan fiercely.

"It's really disappointing. Originally, I thought you were the kind of person who would kill your wife and children first, and then the hostage takers without any change of expression, even if your wife and children were threatened as hostages. It's been so many years, why are you still so old? It looks like this, but the scars on my soul last a lifetime, and so do I."

Mo Xiaolan raised his head and pressed his chest with one hand.

R has opened his eyes.

"Take your hand off, K, or do you plan to fight the two of us? You have no chance of winning 2 vs. 1."

"He's really cruel. He likes to rub salt into other people's wounds."

Before K could finish speaking, Mo Xiaolan laughed loudly.

"Isn't this what you taught me? Those naive people cannot survive. Those leisurely people will always have the tragic fate of being stepped on. They must not be merciful to the enemy. No matter who they are, as long as they are human, Just look at it with suspicion!"

K stepped back with his hands raised, and R nodded with a smile and narrowed eyes.

"It's true that we asked you to come back this time because we can't spare any manpower. The new generation has not yet grown up. Section Chief Mo Xiaolan and Lilian still have to deal with a lot of things. One bullet has been shot, and the other A bullet has to be activated."

K stared blankly at the two people in front of him. For a moment, blood appeared in front of his eyes. Two children, one big and one small, stared at him with their bodies covered in blood.

"Uncle, we are so cold!"

K suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, panted and pressed his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eye sockets began to turn slightly red.

"I'll give you one month to think about K. If you don't do it, you will be arrested in one month and charged with massacring innocent people."

Mo Xiaolan said coldly, K swallowed, and R added at this time.

"As well as your protest group, people in this group have been involved in many riots. We have been monitoring it. If you don't agree, everyone in this group will be expelled!"

K felt a chill rising up his back. He panted with a bitter smile on his lips.

"At least give me a reason why you are so anxious?"

"In the former experimental base of Montenegro, some defective research waste was found. According to the investigation results of Section 10, those things are related to the development of quantum weapons."

K's eyes widened in shock, and he recalled in his mind the incident of the rioter who contacted him, but he still did not say anything.

"If you want to understand, just come back to K. If you don't come back, I will definitely let you know that what you taught me in the past, I will use it on you ten times or a hundred times."

Mo Xiaolan said in a low voice, and K nodded.
