Unexpectedly, after the fight between Su Xian and Huo Jing, they were able to sit down and chat peacefully.

Zhong Yuncong was far away, but still couldn't help but feel anxious, for fear that the fight just now was just a rehearsal, and there might be a formal "performance" at some point.

But his worries seemed superfluous. The two uncles were really just chatting. Although they insisted not to look at each other during the conversation, they chatted abruptly today.

During the period, Zhong Yuncong was reprimanded by Huo Jing for frequently distractedly turning his head to observe the situation.

"Would you like to come over and have a look?"

Zhong Yun turned his head in disgrace from the moment he got there, and didn't dare to continue worrying about the sky after that, so he started training honestly.

In short, it's good that they don't fight again.

Of course, if there was a real fight...he couldn't hold it back either.

"It's already lagging behind others, and you're so half-hearted." Huo Jing snorted coldly, implying something, "If you have time, please discipline me."

Su Xian glanced at the person who kept repeating the steps of loading and unloading bullets, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Aren't you an instructor? Can't manage it alone? Is this an admission that I am not capable enough?"

Huo Jing stared straight ahead, and put on a cold smile: "Do you want to compete with me again?"

Fortunately, Su Xian did not let Zhong Yuncong's worry come true, he shrugged: "Did you forget that I am still injured?"

"That little injury is nothing." Huo Jing snorted, "You are getting more and more backward."

"I'm getting older, of course it's not as good as when I was seventeen or eighteen years old." Su Xian rarely raised an argument with the other party. He glanced at the young students in the shooting range and sighed, "That's why they are needed, aren't they?" ?”

Huo Jing was taken aback, always felt that there was something in his words, and more than that, his fakeness was also very strange.

The Administrative Bureau has always been short of manpower, and everyone is spinning around like a spinning top all day long. Although Su Xian laughed at himself for getting old, Huo Jing thought he knew him a little bit. It was just a back injury. As usual, this The guy won't take this injury seriously.Besides, this guy talked about recuperating, but it turned out that he refused to stay in the hospital obediently, and rushed to the training camp with the cheek, no matter how you look at it, he has ulterior motives.

The most abnormal thing is that this holiday order is said to be issued by the director himself.

Su Xian's waist was just injured, as for mobilizing people like this?

No matter how dull Huo Jing was, he would have guessed that there was something else hidden in it.

He never liked to beat around the bush, so he directly asked his doubts: "What happened?"

I don't know if the other party really didn't understand or asked knowingly: "Ah? What happened?"

Huo Jing raised her eyebrows impatiently: "You and the director."

He directly opened the window paper, and Su Xian, who failed to pretend to be stupid, sighed: "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask so many questions."

Not many people know the inside story of the old incident more than 20 years ago caused by the two dismemberment cases, even within the Management Bureau, there are very few, except for some high-level leaders, the rest are the participants in this case .

And these people were also given a gag order.

Su Xian also knew this classmate and colleague who had known him for many years very well. He was a very pure person at heart. If Huo Jing were to know those messy past events, he would be even more unacceptable than him.

Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be kept in the dark.

Therefore, Huo Jing's understanding of this matter was limited to the dismemberment case. As for the research institute underground in the Salesian's Hospital, he only vaguely claimed that it was a criminal den.Anyway, there has been a pile of ruins, and there is nothing left.

Correspondingly, both Zhu Ci and the "Tree of Life" project were deliberately hidden, and the reason for the latter was relatively simple - it was human nature for the Administration Bureau to save face for itself; as for the former, The roots are much more complicated——Zhu Ciren is dead, and she cleaned up her house before she died, leaving almost no key evidence for them; in addition, her status in the "isolated island" is extraordinary , She has always been promoted as a lighthouse-like spiritual idol, and they need to take into account the reactions of the citizens.Moreover, the Management Bureau also hopes that her Jishi Hospital can continue to operate. After the true face of the founder is revealed, the survival of the hospital will also become unknown.

Not to mention the leaders above, even Su Xian himself, when he thought of such a bunch of messy things entangled together, had to think about everything, look forward and backward, and he could understand the director's mood a little bit.

Once the fig leaf is lifted, no one dares to pat his chest and say that he can handle the consequences that follow.

Just hide it.Su Xian asked himself if he didn't have that ability, and simply thought about it.

Huo Jing was choked back, frowning, and was about to ask about Chou Yinmao, but unexpectedly found that Su Xian had a gloomy face, such an expression rarely appeared on his face, which made Huo Jing a little startled.

It must be a secret of great importance that he is unwilling to reveal.

After realizing this fact, Huo Jing suddenly lost his temper. He gave up asking the bottom line, as if infected by Su Xian, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were slightly cold.

The atmosphere suddenly condensed, and Su Xian sighed secretly, trying to pick something milder, but found that he couldn't find it at all.

The recent bad things happened one after another, besides, this is Huo Jing, not... Zhong Yuncong.

Su Xian opened his mouth and quickly closed it helplessly.

"By the way," Huo Jing actually took the initiative to speak, which made him unable to help but look sideways, but the other party turned his face slightly to hide his expression, "I heard that Jiang Qiyan died in the explosion?"

Hearing this name, Su Xian also lowered his eyes slowly: "Yes."

There was no sound from Huo Jing's side for a while, and Su Xian's side was also silent.

Probably, they didn't know what to say for a while.

He, Huo Jing, and Jiang Qiyan, the three of them all came out of the training camp back then, and were students of the same class.

Thinking about it now, it was almost ten years ago.

Su Xian was in a daze for a moment, the three teenagers from back then flashed past his eyes.

Su Xian, who has not yet freed himself from the rebellion of adolescence, is rebellious, full of inexplicable anger, and feels that the whole world is against him; A vigilant hedgehog will show its thorns whenever others approach it; while Jiang Qiyan is a clever young man with long sleeves and dancing like a spring breeze. Compared with Su and Huo, his popularity is very different. He is not sick, and there may be a little harmless ambition hidden in his eyes, but he is far less paranoid than later.

Jiang Qiyan at that time was actually very likable.

He looks good, he can talk, and his grades are not bad, he has almost won the hearts of all the girls in the training camp; not only that, he is also very popular among the same sex, and even Huo Jing's prickly thorns can be wiped away by him flat.

Su Xian refused to admit it, but he also regarded him as one of the few friends in his heart.

However, that was a long time ago.

"It deserves it." After a long time, Huo Jing threw out two words coldly. It was his evaluation of Jiang Qiyan. There was anger, contempt, bewilderment, and a little bit of regret.

It has to be said that Su Xian also had the same mental journey.

This is probably their only commemoration and remembrance of their former classmate friendship.

The golden sun sinks westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun gathers the island in the middle of the lake in a huge prison of light. Facing the soft setting sun, Su Xian finally pulls his thoughts out of the heavy memories. He glances at Zhong Yun who is training hard in the distance From, against the light, he turned into a silhouette that melted into the twilight, but the surrounding area was surrounded by a layer of pale golden warm light, which was both warm and dazzling.

He remembered the agreement between Huo Jing and Zhong Yuncong, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "It's already sunset, why don't you check and accept your students' training results?"

Hearing this, Huo Jing stood up, but stayed where he was. He glanced at Zhong Yuncong, then down at Su Xian who was Shi Shiran, and made a low voice.

"Zhong Yuncong, who is it?"

Su Xian wasn't surprised by Huo Jing's question, and was even mentally prepared - Zhong Yuncong was bitten by a different species and Huo Jing was not able to hide it from Huo Jing, who kept the secret for him. He is very grateful and must pay it back.

Of course, in Su Xian's view, answering questions is not considered a way to return favors, so he was also very forthright about Huo Jing's question: "I won't hide it from you—Zhong is from outside. As for why he There will be abilities, and why it is immune to 'Paradise Lost', I don't know."

Su Xian has already told the truth, but for Huo Jing, it is still too general an answer, but even so, his first half sentence is enough to calm Huo Jing.

"You said," Huo Jing asked back in disbelief, "is he a person outside the 'isolated island'?"

Su Xian could understand his mood very well, and explained patiently: "That's right. I came here about three months ago, and I've been living in the outside world before."

Huo Jing took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his emotions, suppressed countless surging questions, and picked the most critical one to ask: "How did he get in?"

Su Xian pondered for a while, but still told him: "I was sent in by someone."

Huo Jing's complexion changed slightly, and he added: "It should be the supernatural beings in the 'Island' who did it, but don't ask me who it is, I don't know now."

Huo Jing became quiet again. He spent a little time digesting the information that almost overturned his cognition. He guessed that Zhong Yuncong's background might be unusual, but he never expected that he was not from an "isolated island" at all.

Does Ke Zhong really have nothing to do with the "isolated island"?Su Xian was also thinking about the same question, and had some unreasonable doubts. To his shock, the doubts quickly spread in his heart like a drop of ink falling into clear water, like a shadow.

What was the purpose of the person who brought him in at the beginning?

This question, which he had deliberately ignored for a long time, finally floated up from the bottom of the sea again.

And he had a hunch that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
