Spy Family

Dong Tianchai clapped his hands on his knees and prepared to stand up, "That's it. I'll say goodbye to you first. I'll leave later and go home to retreat. I will never conduct any more research until the war ends."

Lu Linbei couldn't think of anything to say to change Dong Tianchai's mind, so he could only say: "Okay, I will take Dr. Dong home later."

"No, just lend me a car."

"I was the one who brought Dr. Dong here, so I will naturally send you back. What's more, vehicles are very precious now, and I have to bring them back to the mine in time."

The latter reason is more convincing. Dong Tianchai smiled and said: "Okay, I'll trouble you. I don't have a bad impression of you. You are a part of the war machine. You can't help yourself. I am against that machine." , but I have nothing against you.”

"Few people are as sensible as Dr. Dong."

"That's logic."

"Let's go to the restaurant to eat first. You can't go home hungry."

Dong Tianchai touched his stomach and said, "I'm really a little hungry."

He was not a little hungry, but extremely hungry. He ordered two meals in the restaurant and ate them all.

Lu Linbei ordered one and finished it only a little earlier than Dong Tianchai. He waited quietly, already knowing what to say.

"When you're full, please say 'thank you' to your boss for me. Thank you for your hospitality. Among all the meals I've had, your place is definitely not the worst."

Lu Linbei nodded with a smile and asked, "How much does Dr. Dong know about Paradise City?"

"That's my hometown, the place where I grew up, but I don't know much about it. If you want to ask me where I play, I can only say the seaside."

"How long has it been since Dr. Dong went to the beach?"

"You mean enjoying the scenery?"

"right."

"It's been a long time. The last time I went to the beach was... more than ten years ago. I was a teenager. I had just graduated from college and was about to go to graduate school. My parents insisted on taking me to celebrate. I really don't understand, why can't I celebrate at home?"

Lu Linbei, like many people, often forgets that Dong Tianchai is actually very young, only in his thirties.

"I don't think I've ever heard Dr. Dong mention my parents."

"You don't know them, so why are you mentioning them? Major Lu has never mentioned his parents."

"I am an interstellar orphan."

Dong Tianchai thought for a while, "They divorced when I finished my PhD. We were not very close and rarely interacted with each other."

There was no regret in his voice, as if this was an extremely normal thing. Lu Linbei could not console him, so he had to go straight to the point, "Paradise City has changed a lot. The original mayor was killed, and there were several self-proclaimed new mayors, big and small. There are dozens of small forces, each occupying different areas and doing their own thing."

"I saw the news on the Internet. It's not news. It's a large group of people quarreling. It's probably the 'power' you mentioned. It's not just Paradise City. There are separatist forces everywhere on King Zhao."

"What would you do if another force invites Dr. Dong to do research?"

"No, of course."

"What if the other party is not allowed to refuse?"

"You mean they're going to use coercion?"

"It's possible."

"Then I will go on a hunger strike."

"What about the other party threatening you with killing?"

"I'm not afraid of death."

"With other people's lives."

Dong Tianchai was stunned, "What does other people's lives have to do with me?"

"Since you are opposed to war, some people will threaten you with war. For example, they claim that if you accept the invitation, you can prevent a war. If you don't accept, the war will break out soon."

Dong Tianchai was stunned again, "What kind of war has something to do with me?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but the other party wants to involve you, such as aiming missiles at the community where you live. If you don't accept the invitation, all your neighbors will die together with you."

"Can anyone be that bad?"

"Why are we all against war? It's because war will bring out the most evil side of human beings, and it will only be worse than what I say."

Dong Tianchai was silent for a while, "Are you also opposed to the war?"

"The war separated me from my wife, left me unable to return home, and trapped me on a strange planet. I opposed the war. Of course, the way I opposed it was different from Dr. Dong and Qiu Xinyang, but the goal was Consistent.”

Dong Tianchai looked puzzled, "Why don't I believe what you are saying?"

Lu Linbei said with a smile: "Dr. Dong, please make your own judgment. I always think more about it, and nothing else. If something happens, I will at least be mentally prepared so that I won't panic too much."

Dong Tianchai lowered his gaze and unconsciously played with the chopsticks and spoons on the table with his right hand. After three minutes, he said, "You won't force me to do research, will you?"

"I am also a logical person. A scientist's brain is not a pocket. You can put your hand in and pull out something. It requires thinking, enthusiasm and interest. These cannot be forced. Here, whether you want to do research or not is entirely up to the director. The doctor decides."

"When the war ends, or the situation in Paradise City becomes more stable, I still want to go home."

"Even now, I can send Dr. Dong home."

Dong Tianchai smiled and said, "I'm really used to living here."

"At least our food is not the worst. It might not be the same if we try another restaurant."

"Haha, okay, I'll stay for a few more days."

"Have a good rest and treat it like a vacation."

"Have a good rest." Dong Tianchai stretched, suddenly stood up and walked away without even saying goodbye.

Lu Linbei looked at Dong Tianchai's back and knew that this person was very important. Even if he could not be owned by Zhai Wangxing, he could never give it to anyone else.

Dong Tianchai could stay for a while longer. Lu Linbei breathed a sigh of relief and checked his ID chip. There were no missed calls. He had already handed over the relevant information to Mei Wangzhen and had not yet received any feedback. Looking at the time, it had only been half an hour. A little more, he was too anxious.

Lu Linbei returned to the office and continued to process files and incoming and outgoing information on several microcomputers. They were all newly arrived in the past hour. There were not many of them. He soon became free and had time to check the news online.

As Dong Tianchai said, there is almost no real news on the Internet, it is all quarrels.

Zhao Wangxing's network is unstable and in a state of war. Larger news organizations are paralyzed. Information released by individuals dominates the mainstream. It is difficult to distinguish true from false. Each word is more violent than the other. In order to avoid the supervision of the platform, netizens are increasingly turning to " Home Star Territory" is concentrated in this game.

This is a magical game. Although the degree of realism is far less than that of the only game, it is timeless, has a wider spread, and will change with the changes in player behavior. Just look at the interface, Lu Linbei It is almost unrecognizable that this is a game that I have played before. The management function is tucked away in a corner, and the forum section occupies the core position.

In the forum, Lu Linbei could feel the anger of the Zhao Wangxing people. Although some people were provoking it, the basis for the burning was real.

A war between aliens started in their own country first, and the people of King Zhao were very angry about this.

When various forces usually compete for power, they speak harsh words and use all possible methods. However, in the face of powerful alien forces, they all fall silent. Instead, they are more interested in internal fighting. The people in Zhaowangxing were particularly angry about this.

The people of King Zhao have always been famous for their business and enjoyment. Facts have proved that when their survival is affected, they, like the residents of other planets, will burst out with strong political enthusiasm.

There has been no second organization to issue a responsible statement, and the one of the Drifter Station has attracted more and more attention. Belief and doubt, approval and opposition, welcome and ridicule... Netizens are engaged in fierce debates from various angles.

When Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou came back, Lu Linbei was still browsing the forum information.

Mei Wangzhen first took a look at the forum and laughed. He was not surprised by Lu Linbei's habit of looking up information. Then he used another microcomputer to check the file processing system. He couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that something went wrong and the files were accidentally deleted. , look carefully and find that they have all returned to their respective places.

"Lao Bei, are you a robot? You completed all my work for several days in one morning." Mei Wangzhen said in surprise.

Lu Linbei was very happy that these two people were back and he could quit the forum.

"They are all very simple tasks. Three important pieces of information are stored separately and need to be processed by yourself."

"From now on, you will come to work at my place every day, and all documents will be handled by you."

Before Lu Linbei could speak, Lu Yezhou smiled and said, "Those who are capable work hard, Lao Bei. I really envy you for getting such an important job. Haha."

"Well, I will handle the documents you submitted separately and give them enough 'emphasis'."

Lu Yezhou immediately changed his tune, "No, I'm just kidding, I'll treat you another day... There's not even a place to eat now."

Lu Linbei asked Mei Wangzhen, "How is it?"

"I have contacted a few 'old friends' and have made an appointment with the time and place for the interview. I will be very busy in the next few days and I really need you to sit in the office."

"No problem, you have to be careful out there."

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said: "Well, it makes it more interesting to sit in the office."

Lu Yezhou sat on the sofa and yawned, "Either you're too idle and feel sleepy, or you're so busy that you feel sleepy. Really, things are all squeezed together."

"That Qiu Xinyang..."

"I sent intelligence agents to investigate, and the results have been obtained. Now many people are willing to work for us." Mei Wangzhen paused for a moment, "Dr. Dong found this person?"

"Yeah." Lu Linbei had already heard the answer from Mei Wangzhen's tone.

"Qiu Xinyang is real, not a fictional character. His identity is the same as what Dr. Dong said, but it is not that important. He is not an interstellar orphan, but he joined a mutual aid group last year and occasionally volunteers at the Wanderer Station. He is a tour guide. Then The statement was issued from his microcomputer but was not written by him."

"Did the agent talk to him personally?"

"No, the city is very chaotic now. Qiu Xinyang hangs out with a group of young people, causing trouble in the streets and rarely goes home. However, the intelligence agent found several acquaintances of Qiu Xinyang. They all said similar things and could support each other. Ye Zi You were right, that statement was a hoax and the real attacker has yet to reveal himself.”

Lu Linbei was silent, and Mei Wangzhen said: "You don't believe the intelligence agent's investigation results?"

"I'm thinking... I want to go to the city." Lu Linbei is not only interested in Qiu Xinyang, but also the state of the city. If one-third of the information on the Internet is true, it also means General Zhao Wangxing has the rise of a new force.

Lu Yezhou smiled at Mei Wangzhen and said, "Lao Bei is trying to find a way to leave the office."
