Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 960 Little tadpole, looking for mother... 12
When the simulated daylight was turned on again in the Yue Hai, Lin Sanjiu was already on his way to the captain's room in a hurry.At this time, the cadres at all levels of the night tour girl probably gathered together, waiting to hear her explain in detail what happened when she left Biluo District that night-when she left yesterday, the young driver named Tan Zhang took the This matter was given to her; but it was not until she woke up this morning that she suddenly realized what a good opportunity this was, and secretly regretted that she hadn't reacted earlier.

It seems that no matter how evolved, people still have to rest.

"... When I talked about this matter with Tan Zhang yesterday, I was quite hasty, and I didn't have time to talk about some details."

Standing in front of more than ten high-ranking cadres on board, Lin Sanjiu spoke clearly—the young driver frowned and moved in the back seat.She had already thought about her speech, so she spoke fluently and without interruption: "On the way to the port of anchorage, I happened to pass by the arsenal. At that time, there were sirens and chaos everywhere, so I asked a passing arsenal The members inquired about it... At that time, he briefly explained the situation in a hurry."

She paused, feeling that every pair of eyes in the room were now on her body, including the low-ranking members of Luyan, who were standing far behind, were also waiting for her to speak without saying a word.

"The arsenal commander has been murdered."

As soon as this sentence was thrown out, there was a gasp.

"I don't think this was mentioned in their message? It was three outsiders who killed him. After the alarm was sounded and everyone surrounded the command tower, one of them took advantage of the chaos to escape. I went to the arsenal... The member of the arsenal I asked about the situation seemed to be out to hunt for fugitives, because he also described the appearance of the man to me and asked me if I had seen him nearby."

When she said this, she felt that several cadres sitting in the front row straightened up slightly.

"What kind of people are they?" asked one of the thin men with pointed sideburns. "Maybe they are Sparan's accomplices. I heard that Sparan didn't go in alone."

Those who went in with him were standing right in front of their eyes.

"Then I don't know." Lin Sanjiu shook his head naturally while maintaining his demeanor, "When I was inquiring about the situation, no one mentioned Siba'an... What they are looking for is a young man who looks young at first glance. , but if you look closely, you will find a man who is no longer young."

"So does he look young or not?" Another middle-aged woman asked in a very unpleasant tone.Rather than asking a question, she seemed to be giving an order.

They didn't even show any courtesy to Lin Sanjiu, an outsider.

Lin Sanjiu didn't mind that middle-aged woman's attitude—in fact, she was hoping that someone would ask this question.With a bit of rejoicing, she immediately described 12's appearance in a logical and careful manner, and did not forget to add the sentence "someone heard his companion call him 12".

It's a pity that the artist couldn't draw the picture as required, otherwise, if there is a portrait, the confidence of finding 12 will be greater.

The female members of the night tour gathered here, especially those middle and low-level cadres, spent most of their time every day on maintaining the operation of the spaceship; not to mention that they were responsible for making the passenger list and arranging basic necessities. —If anyone has ever seen 12, it's probably in this group.

Lin Sanjiu's eyes swept across the faces, trying to find some clues from their faces.

"Why does this person sound familiar?" Someone mumbled.When she was busy looking at the reputation, she didn't know for a moment who it was coming from; several people were looking at her in that direction.

"Probably misunderstood, anyway, that person can't be on this ship." Tan Zhang replied without looking back, staring at Lin Sanjiu, wondering what he was thinking: "He escaped from Biluo District By then, we should have been in heaven long ago."

No, you can't make them think that way.

They are all potential eyes looking for 12 for themselves—just as Lin Sanjiu was racking his brains to create a reasonable "reason for boarding" for 12, a mature man sitting firmly in the middle interrupted her in a deep voice Thoughts: "Don't mention that person. What do you know about the Sparan invasion?"

"I don't know anything," she replied immediately.

The room was quiet for a while, and Tan Zhang's thin eyes turned around her again.

Since she didn't know anything about the most critical part, everyone got up and dispersed after chatting a few more sporadic words.As soon as the person left, Luyan came to Tan Zhang's side in a few steps like a horse that had taken off the bridle; but the young man with narrow eyes shook his head at her and walked towards Lin Sanjiu instead.

"You did a good job today," he said in a polite manner, but when he opened his mouth, it was still the tone of a superior facing a subordinate—these members of the Twelve Organizations were probably used to the superiority of being in the Central Twelve Realms. "Did Stan see you this morning?"

"Who?" Lin Sanjiu didn't react for a moment.

"Stan," the young man frowned again, with a serious expression: "Stan Smith... is the one I sent to guide you yesterday."

Lin Sanjiu blinked.

"It's normal that she didn't ask her name," Luyan came over and interjected, "That person looks like he can't pry his mouth open, and after seeing it, he doesn't want people to talk to him... Didn't you just check the list this morning? from."

Tan Zhang coughed.

"I thought his name was Octo." Lin Sanjiu glanced at the two of them, "He told me that. Why, aren't you all familiar with him?"

"That's his middle name," Luyan said briskly.

"I don't know him well, probably." Tan Zhang frowned, "You are new here, and I told him to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment in the past few days."

The word "no need" came to his lips, but Lin Sanjiu swallowed it back.She looked into Tan Zhang's eyes, considered his attitude for a while, tried her best to smile and nodded: "Thank you for being so thoughtful."

Luyan's clear eyes turned around her, and then moved back to Tan Zhang.This little girl seems to be very interested in everything, and her mind is flying like a balloon that has been swept away by a wind, and she may not know where it will land; She felt as if she had thought of something helpless—in order to get away, she nodded hastily: "Then I'll go first, I'll go find O... Stein. Where is he?"

Luyan immediately volunteered to lead the way for her—maybe girls and boys of this age have such an energy that is almost overflowing; she spoke lightly and quickly, like a sparrow just awakened by early spring.Even though she is not a beauty, she is bright, rich and vigorous, and even if you chat with her aimlessly for a while, you can't help but be infected by her enthusiastic expression.

"Here it is," after chatting for a long time, the two had arrived at their destination.As the little girl said, she knocked on the cabin door: "Stan! Stan!"

She knocked several times, and the door was opened from the inside.A strange rectangular face poked out, "Stop barking, he's not here."

"Where are the others?" Luyan looked in on tiptoe as if he didn't believe it.

"I came back very late yesterday, and went out again early in the morning." Chang Fanglian yawned, "There must be a mission... I'm too lazy to ask him."

Facing the black-faced man who refused to speak, probably many people would have this feeling, as if talking to him proactively was just asking for trouble.

"I'll look for him," Luyan turned his head and smiled at Lin Sanjiu, his teeth were white and shiny, "I'll let him go to your place when I find it!"

How can you let a little girl run errands for you?But before Lin Sanjiu could speak, she turned around and ran out——she watched Luyan's back disappear around the corner, saw that rectangular face was about to close the door, and hurriedly pulled the door.

The rectangular face raised its eyes.

"Your roommate," Lin Sanjiu smiled apologetically at him, "what's his name?"

The expression on the rectangular face seemed to see a mental retardation.

"Didn't she already call out his name when she knocked on the door just now?" He was very puzzled, "His name is Stan!"

"That... are you familiar with him?"

"Unfamiliar," the rectangular face shrugged, trying to slide the door shut, but Lin Sanjiu's slender and powerful arms were still holding the doorknob.He glanced at her, a little unhappy: "I'm just a roommate assigned to him on the way, I don't know who he is. I can't beat a fart."

"Halfway?" Lin Sanjiu grasped the word, "Who was his roommate before?"

"It seems to be a friend who joined the organization and boarded the ship together." Rectangular face recalled, "I heard it too, I'm not sure... But when the Yuehai ship was moored to meet the second wave of experimenters. , that friend suddenly disappeared.”

"Gone?"

"That's what I heard." When it came to the gossip, the rectangular face seemed to be a little interested, and he couldn't stop talking to her from the beginning: "...It's hard to find someone on the Yuehai, you don't know How strict the screening was at that time! Not to mention the inexplicable outsiders, even the insiders were one in a hundred. I don’t know who would be so stupid to get on board and sneak away. In this way, the organization will also remove him What's more, what he might have missed was an opportunity to never teleport again."

"Has Stan talked less since then?"

"How do I know what he was like before? Anyway, I have been friends with his room for a few days, and we haven't spoken more than ten sentences."

"Let me ask another question." Lin Sanjiu said softly, "Did he say his name is Octo? Maybe it's a middle name."

"No!" The rectangular face threw down two words, and with all his strength, the door slid shut at the same time as she let go.

Lin Sanjiu stared at the door for a while, then suddenly turned her head - she raised her gaze, and met "Stan" who was not far away.

Luyan moved so fast?Or did he just come back at this time?

Before she wondered how much he heard, Stan was walking over.He looked at Lin Sanjiu twice. Although his face was still expressionless, the faint luster in his eyes seemed to make people feel a little different—if he insisted on describing it, it was like someone awakened by a stick in the grass snake.

Maybe it's her preconceived idea that makes her feel like this?

"Middle name," Stan says curtly, keeping his eyes on her, apparently overhearing the conversation. "Where are you going?"

It's not just a matter of name... Lin Sanjiu looked back into his eyes, and a thought floated in his heart.

Don't be too hasty.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "It's just that it's not common for people to call themselves by their middle names... I thought I had found the wrong person just now."

Stan doesn't even nod his head.

Just when Lin Sanjiu thought he would never say a word, Stan suddenly said, "I haven't finished my task yet, so go shopping by yourself first."

Lin Sanjiu was stunned: "Wait, Tan Zhang said——"

Stan turned and walked away as if he hadn't heard.Being in a residential area where evolutionaries come and go, Lin Sanjiu really couldn't insist on keeping him—and she couldn't think of any reason why she should keep him.

But anyway, he couldn't do without this spaceship, so he could come to him next time.

On the way to the bulletin board, Lin Sanjiu fell into deep thought as he walked.

How was she going to find out if Octo was his middle name?
The Twelve Organizations are not like the government agencies before the doomsday, they will not record all the information in detail.Even if he said his middle name was Napoleon Bonaparte, she had no means of confirming it.

There's only one doubtful thing... and that's the fact that everyone, including his roommate, apparently calls him "Stan."

Thinking about it now, when Lin Sanjiu asked his name on the bulletin board yesterday, "Stan" was distracted by the flow of messages - at that time, he blurted out the answer "Octo".

What is said subconsciously and inadvertently is often the truth.

If Octo was his real name and he wasn't Stan Smith at all...then the sudden disappearance of Stan Smith's friend would make sense.That friend knows everything about Stan himself, and it's too dangerous to be around... But after all, is there really someone pretending to be Stan Smith?
His countenance can be changed so completely...that is to say...

Lin Sanjiu frowned, she didn't know where she was going; when she recovered, she found that she was standing on the viewing platform.There are not many people on the viewing platform today, and the attraction of the dark universe to people quickly fades as time goes by.

She stood there in a daze for a while, but was suddenly called back by the sound of footsteps behind her.

"Willie?" Tan Zhang's voice sounded, "I called you, didn't you hear?"

Lin Sanjiu turned around and smiled hurriedly: "Oh, I'm a little distracted..."

"The thing that listened to music last time," Tan Zhang asked unhurriedly, "Can you lend me a few minutes?"
