The "poodle" has disappeared, only Su Xian is left alone, with his hands in the pockets of his coat and his back to him.

His back looked deserted and aloof, which made Zhong Yuncong pause unconsciously.

"Why so slow?" He heard the movement, turned around, his face was thin and clear, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his pupils faded from the sickly gray-blue in the night, and turned into pure black soaked in the coolness.

Zhong Yun walked over slowly, scratching his head in embarrassment: "Really... I think it's too soon, and I thought the doctor would not agree."

"He is very interested in that girl, and he will definitely not refuse." His breath condensed into a thin mist in the cold night, and one eyebrow slightly raised, "Of course, it's not the kind of 'interest' you thought."

Zhong Yuncong laughed: "If it's that kind of 'interest', I'm not too worried, I'm afraid it's another 'interest'."

Su Xian shook his head, too lazy to continue reading tongue twisters with him, he walked forward on his own: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" His question sounded silly, Su Xian stopped, turned his face sideways, and glanced at him with a playful smile: "If you want to sleep on the street, I have no problem."

Zhong Yun has never been that dull. The reason why he hesitated before was because he left his home by himself last time, and he dared not go back without his permission.

But listening to him now, it seems that he doesn't intend to care about the "previous suspicion".

He hurriedly followed the other party's footsteps, and was so happy that he could not speak coherently: "I will pay you the rent! It's just... I have to wait a little longer, because I gave away that piece of emerald to someone..."

At this point, he shut his mouth suddenly, and after a while he asked cautiously: "Uh, you won't be unhappy, right? At first I said I would send you off, but then I gave it to someone else..."

Su Xian glanced at him lightly: "You can do whatever you want with your things, why should I be unhappy?"

"I want to say..." He was at a loss in panic, his eyes didn't know where to turn, "I want to apologize to you..."

Su Xian showed a slightly puzzled expression: "What are you apologizing for?"

"Before I..." He confided in his heart, "It seems to be a little too frivolous, neither serious nor serious... Maybe it caused you trouble... I'm really sorry!"

Are you troubled... It seems to be a little bit.Su Xian remembered his previous gaffe in front of his subordinates, and felt ashamed for a moment.

But that discomfort soon passed, just like his attitude towards Zhong Yuncong.

"I see." He said lightly, "Let's stop this topic."

Zhong Yuncong heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt slightly lost. As for what he lost, he couldn't tell.

The sky is like ink, and the fine snow falls silently, revealing the coolness of self-destruction, gently brushing their hair and faces, the whole city is like a crouching beast, falling into a short-term peace, the bitter cold The sound of the wind is its purring.

They walked side by side under the falling snow and the dim streetlights.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." After a while of silence, after turning a corner, Su Xian opened his mouth, and Zhong Yuncong was immediately attracted: "Ah... you said .”

"Are you looking for a job recently?"

His tone was flat, but Zhong Yun couldn't help laughing, he brushed his shaggy hair: "I almost suspect that you are making fun of me... How do you know that I worked in the mining area? "

Su Xian also curved his lips slightly: "I also know that you were kicked out after less than half a day's work."

"Tsk," he grinned, "isn't that what you want to tell me?"

A little bit of hair was tousled by the wind, covering the sides of Su Xian's cheeks. The shadows made him look softer than usual: "Of course not. If you want, I can introduce you to a job."

Zhong Yuncong thought he was still joking, and laughed flatteringly: "Could it be a quarry?"

"No," he denied calmly, "the Sheriff's Office."

Zhong Yuncong's steps froze.

Su Xian raised his eyebrows, stopped, and stood there looking at him: "What do you think?"

Zhong Yuncong's Adam's apple slipped, and he spoke with difficulty: "Are you...inviting me to be your colleague?"

He nodded slightly: "Well, that's right."

He laughed: "Shouldn't you be teasing me?"

Su Xian showed a familiar mocking smile: "What's the fun of teasing you?"

Zhong Yun was stunned for a long time before he realized that the other party was not joking, but really extended an invitation to him.

For a moment, excitement and excitement rushed into his heart. While he was flattered, he was also a little uneasy: "I... can I really do it? I am not good at sports, and my brain is not very good..."

"You're quite self-aware." Su Xian chuckled, and he licked the dry corner of his mouth, not sure whether it was a compliment or a detriment to him.

"But it's not without merit." He added, with a faint smile on his lips, "Your ability is still quite practical, and your character is not bad, then Come down, as long as you pass the training camp assessment, you will meet our recruitment requirements."

The first few sentences made Zhong Yuncong happy, but the last sentence had a sudden change in style, which made him shiver: "Training camp? Assessment? What is that?"

"Training camp, it literally means a place to train people. You need to exercise for your poor physical fitness." Su Xian explained to him, "The two major departments, the Public Security Administration and the General Administration, There will be a recruitment every year, and the target of the recruitment is the trainees of the training camp."

"Only students who pass the training camp assessment are eligible to enter the two departments."

Hearing this, Zhong Yun swallowed involuntarily: "Is this training camp recruiting all supernatural beings? Will the assessment... be difficult?"

"No, the training camp is open to both supernatural beings and ordinary people, as long as they meet the registration requirements." At this point, Su Xian showed an unpredictable smile, "As for the difficulty of the assessment, it's passable... I heard that in recent years , the difficulty has been slightly reduced, congratulations, it's time to catch up. "

"As soon as you said the word 'congratulations', I panicked..." Zhong Yun couldn't help wiping off the cold sweat, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence..."

He originally thought that Su Xian would be angry, but his expression was as calm as ever. He just glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "It's up to you? I'm just making a suggestion. It depends on whether you go or not." Your own will."

"When does training camp start?"

"These few days are the registration time." Su Xian pondered for a moment, "It should be three days later, and you still have time to think about it..."

Unexpectedly, his words were interrupted by Zhong Yuncong, and his tone was firm: "Don't think about it, I'll go!"

Su Xian now showed a little surprised expression: "It's decided so soon?"

"It's really hard for the weak to stay in a place like 'Island'. This is the biggest feeling I've had since I came here." Zhong Yuncong shook his head with a wry smile, but there was a hint of firmness in his sigh, "So, in addition to letting I have no choice but to become stronger myself."

Su Xian glanced at him when he heard the words, then nodded: "It's good to have this awareness."

He paused for a moment, and then said again: "Okay, find some time in the next two days, go and sign up."

"it is good!"

"However," after he agreed, Su Xian changed the subject, "Since you have decided to go, you must pass the examination."

Zhong Yuncong was stunned for a moment, and then heard him say: "This is what I ask of you——I hope that the day you graduate from the training camp will be the time when you join the Management Bureau."

Even though he knew it would never be easy, Zhong Yuncong still couldn't help but be fascinated: "When that time comes, I want to fight side by side with you."

Su Xian sneered: "Instead of thinking about things so far away, why not think about how to pass the training camp assessment first."

"I will definitely pass!"

"I'll wait and see."

Jiang Qiyan slowly unbuttoned his shirt, and a man wearing a mask and a white coat next to him stared at his left chest, and after a while, hesitated: "Captain Jiang, has your heart really suffered a serious injury? "

A strange color flashed in the beautiful pupils of the picket leader, and then nodded: "Yes, it was three or four days ago."

"Three or four days ago?" The doctor gasped. "A serious trauma can be healed so perfectly in such a short amount of time? This is almost beyond my knowledge."

The skin on his strong chest was intact, not even a scar, and there was no sign of injury at all.

"Doctor Xu," Jiang Qiyan said with a sneer on his lips, as sharp as a honed blade, "this is an 'isolated island', nothing is impossible."

Dr. Xu also laughed. He took off his mask, revealing a face that had been eroded by the years. There were soft lines at the corners of his eyes and lips, making him look kind and elegant, even smiling. When I got up, there was a kind of kindness.

"So, what's the secret behind this astonishing recovery?" Doctor Xu asked with a smile, "Did you have a rejuvenated doctor treat you or did you take some kind of panacea?"

Jiang Qiyan's smile deepened, becoming more and more unpredictable: "Maybe, we will find out later."

After he finished speaking, he suppressed the gloomy and grumpy brows, and looked much more peaceful: "Doctor Xu, how is my sister these two days?"

Dr. Xu's expression suddenly became solemn, and he shook his head: "Not optimistic, I have basically been in a coma for the past two days... I have very little time to wake up."

Jiang Qiyan's slightly relaxed brows immediately became frowned again. He took a deep breath, and finally revealed a little restrained anger: "Didn't you say that she would be cured?"

"I've given you vaccinations a long time ago, haven't I?" Dr. Xu smiled kindly, "Your sister is basically in a terminal illness, and it is impossible to cure her terminal illness with ordinary methods."

Jiang Qiyan's nails dug deep into the palm of his hand until his skin was ripped apart. He tried to calm himself down with the sensation of pain. He straightened his clothes expressionlessly, took his coat and walked out of the observation room without looking back: "I will consider you planned."

"Captain Jiang," Dr. Xu sent him to the door, and reminded him with a smile, "I hope you can think about it as soon as possible, because you don't have much time to think."

His footsteps paused, and he quickly moved on: "I see."

He didn't walk out of the hospital directly, but turned into a stairway and went up the stairs, during which many medical staff passed him by, and when they saw the uniform he was wearing, they deliberately distanced themselves from him, shining brightly. It reveals the meaning of keeping a respectful distance.

Jiang Qiyan didn't care about the attitudes of others, he quickened his pace and went up to the fourth floor, outside a single ward at the end of the corridor, two young pickets stood guarding the door, standing straight.

After seeing their boss, the two young men hurriedly stood at attention and saluted: "Captain!"

Jiang Qiyan nodded slightly at them, then gently opened the door and walked in slowly.

The ward was very quiet, and he walked slowly towards the bed, only then did he hear the faint sound of breathing.

He stared at the sleeping pale girl, his heart pierced like a knife: Is even breathing so weak?

Dr. Xu is right, indeed there is no longer any delay.

He squatted down and stretched out his hand to gently caress his sister's thin sunken cheek. Her body temperature was low, but even so, this heat still made him miss it.

"Chuchu." He softly called his sister's name. He didn't intend to disturb the patient's rest, but she was lethargic for too long, and it was not a good sign.

Jiang Chuchu obviously slept soundly, he screamed several times before she barely opened her eyes, which made Jiang Qiyan heave a sigh of relief, at a certain moment just now, he was really worried that she would never wake up again.

"Brother..." After Jiang Chuchu woke up, with his help, she raised her upper body and immediately acted coquettishly to her elder brother, "I want to drink water."

Jiang Qiyan was always happy to be a cow and a horse for his sister, he smiled and filled a glass of warm water, and brought it to the little girl's lips: "Drink slowly."

Jiang Chuchu was really thirsty, she drank half a glass of water in one go with his hand, and then leaned back contentedly, Jiang Qiyan stuffed a pillow behind her back, and then sat down on the edge of the bed: "How do you feel?" Sample?"

"That's it, it's not bad~" Jiang Chuchu finished explaining her illness, then glanced at her brother again, "What about you? Is your injury healed?"

Jiang Qiyan took a coat to cover her body, and replied casually: "My little injury is not serious, don't worry."

She rolled her eyes nimbly a few times, scanned her brother up and down, and saw that he did not seem to be weak at all, so she was relieved and smiled softly: "Brother, are you free today? Take me out How about a walk? It's just outside."

She pointed out the window, and Jiang Qiyan looked over, there was a tall banyan tree growing outside the window, the luxuriant canopy blocked half of their vision.

He looked away and didn't make a sound.

Jiang Qiyan couldn't see the hope in Jiang Chuchu's eyes, but he still had more important things to do.

"I'm sorry," he refused with difficulty, "Brother will go back to the picket team soon... next time."

Jiang Chuchu slowly tucked her hands back into the bed, not to mention resentment, but disappointment: "When is the next time?"

"After you recover..." "Brother, I know my body very well. I won't recover."

Jiang Qiyan was interrupted by his sister before he could finish his sentence. In fact, his words that he had repeated countless times sounded like warm and thin consolation to Jiang Chuchu, and it was not of much use.

She used to listen with a smile on her face, but this time she didn't want to do it anymore—during the two drowsy days, she knew better than anyone that her time limit might be reached.

She doesn't want to spend the countdown of her precious life on sadness and sorrow, and prefers to go out for a walk, bask in the sun, and wait for the first spring jasmine to bloom—if she can wait until spring arrives.

She raised her eyes and saw Jiang Qiyan's face suddenly changed color, and immediately regretted it, her brother was always more worried about her life than his own, her undisguised words must have hurt him.

But, she is always going to die. If her brother is always like this, how can she rest assured?

Even though she couldn't bear it, she still planned to take this opportunity to spread out some words. She put her hand on the back of his cold hand and forced a smile: "It's like this, although I won't live long, but my brother has been keeping me alive." I take good care of you, and I'm happier than most people, so I'm not afraid to die at all... The only thing that worries me is you."

Jiang Qiyan glanced at her silently, his eyes made Jiang Chuchu's tears fall without warning: that's it... please don't show such an expression, I really... can't leave properly if you are like this... ..."

Jiang Qiyan quickly adjusted his expression, he stood up, and turned his back: "Little girl, don't think so much, just take good care of your body, and leave the rest to me."

Before Jiang Chuchu could reply, he said again: "Today is really urgent, and I will accompany you out for a walk tomorrow. Let's do this first, brother must go."

He said that he was about to go out, but his sister stopped him: "Well, brother..."

He stopped: "Huh? Anything else?"

"That's it..." Jiang Chuchu said with awe, "If you are not free, let Dr. Zhang take me out for a walk... Tell your people not to stop him..."

Jiang Qiyan turned his face sideways, his eyebrows twitched: "What do you mean? That guy has been here before?"

Jiang Chuchu covered her face: "That's not what I mean... Even if people want to come, they must be scared back by your two fierce subordinates..."

Jiang Qiyan glanced at his younger sister's reddened ears, feeling sad and helpless at the same time, he smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's true, it's not bad at all if you don't get a girl."

After he said this, Jiang Chuchu directly covered the quilt on her head, Jiang Qiyan looked at the big rice dumpling lovingly, but she was thinking in her heart, you will get married and have children, marry the person you want to marry...you will live a good life .

After returning to the picket team, he beckoned, and the deputy captain rushed up to meet him: "Captain?"

He leaned back and leaned back in the chair, staring at the faded ceiling, his tone indifferent.

"Bring the two people caught a few days ago."

Not long after, the subordinate escorted the two people he wanted.

The man and the woman were pushed and shoved all the way, and after entering this interrogation room, they were even more silent. Although the room was spacious and bright, it could not dispel the haze in their hearts at all.

Those two looked at the man in the middle with his eyes closed and resting his mind tremblingly. He kept his eyes closed until they stood still in front of him, and a picket whispered a reminder in his ear, and then he slowly opened his eyes. eyes, and smiled at them.

He was handsome, especially when he smiled, but the two prisoners didn't even have the courage to look at him. They lowered their heads and stared at the patterns on the floor tiles in fear.

"You people, don't you have any manners at all?" Jiang Qiyan had a faint smile on his face, and absent-mindedly scolded his subordinates, "An old man, a pregnant woman, let them stand like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clever person immediately moved two chairs over, and uncharacteristically, he invited with a smile: "Please sit down, both of you."

The skinny old man mustered up the courage to raise his head, and just met Jiang Qiyan's smiling eyes, but immediately lowered his eyelids, and said with difficulty: "No, no need..."

"Sure enough," Jiang Qiyan sighed, "You guys who don't know how to behave, still neglected my distinguished guests."

His subordinates were walking on thin ice, and none of them dared to take over. As for the old man and the pregnant woman, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes-he just found an excuse to steal things and arrested them. Zhou, is there such hospitality?

Jiang Qiyan explained with a smile on his face: "It's like this. These guys haven't studied for a few years. They are very rude. If I offend you two, I apologize for them."

The old man and the pregnant woman looked at each other, and the latter was trembling with her belly outstretched, so the old man had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's nothing..."

"So you think the chairs of my picket team are not clean enough?" He asked back with a smile, the old man froze and began to speak incoherently: "No, it's not..."

"You," Jiang Qiyan lazily pointed at the person who just moved the chair, "take off your clothes and wipe the chair."

The person he named did not hesitate for a moment, immediately took off his coat, wiped the two chairs separately, and then smiled hospitablely at the old and the young: "It's clean, you can sit on it."

Having reached this point, even if they had ten more courages, they would not dare to say no more, Jiang Qiyan's polite back and forth, but they were startled so that their legs became weak and they could hardly stand up.

After finally settling their buttocks, and seeing the picket leader looking at them with a smile, or looking at them, the two prisoners were frightened again, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

In the end, Jiang Qiyan's gaze settled on the protruding abdomen of the young pregnant woman. She is still very young, no more than 25 years old. She is probably suffering from long-term malnutrition and fear. She is very thin, so her belly looks extraordinarily round. big.

Seeing the other party staring at her pregnant belly, she couldn't help protecting her belly. Jiang Qiyan smiled when she saw this: "Speaking of which, how old is Madam's child?"

"More than six months...seven months soon." The pregnant woman didn't expect that he would suddenly ask her about her situation. She was very upset, but she didn't dare not answer, and she corrected timidly, " No... not madam..."

"Oh...that was my offense." Jiang Qiyan did not delve into the meaning of her words, but changed her words, "Ma'am."

She forced a smile on her face and said nothing more.

Beads of sweat oozed from the old man's forehead, his dry lips murmured, hesitated again and again, and opened his mouth cautiously: "This sir... We really didn't steal anything... Those few pieces of bread are a piece of cake. The kind aunt gave it to me... this girl, she saw that it was not easy for her to have a big belly, so..."

"But, that's how the owner of the grocery store testified against me." Jiang Qiyan spread his hands, looking helpless, "You guys can't prove your innocence..."

The pregnant woman opened her mouth: "But, it was really given by that aunt..."

"Ma'am?" He smiled meaningfully, "Then find out this witness. If she can prove your innocence, I will release you two immediately."

The two people turned pale, and finally realized that the high-ranking picket leader was playing with them—they were restricted in their personal freedom, and they couldn't even walk out of this room. Where could they find that aunt?

Thinking of this, both of them were a little discouraged. Losing their freedom was the next thing. They were used to this kind of life. Besides, although the people here were vicious, they didn't eat or drink less, and life was not too difficult.

What they were worried about was, what would happen if the companion who volunteered as a bait escaped and couldn't find them?

Knowing that there was no hope of getting rid of the suspicion, the old man asked anxiously, "Sir, how long are you going to detain us..."

"It's as if I'm trying to embarrass you on purpose." Jiang Qiyan's words immediately made the other party speechless. He folded his hands, propped his chin, and told him with a pleasant face, "Whether it's closed or not, how long will it last? It’s all in accordance with the regulations, and it’s not my decision.”

What he said was just and awe-inspiring, and he couldn't find anything to criticize. Naturally, the two of them could only smile apologetically: "What you said is..."

"So, according to the regulations, let's start the process." He pointed to someone casually, "Take out a pen and paper, and make a note."

"Yes!" The subordinate hurriedly responded, and soon everything was ready, only Dongfeng was owed.

The old and the young sat curled up opposite him, not daring to show their breath, Jiang Qiyan tapped on the table: "Name."

Unexpectedly, such a simple question made the two lose their composure, and they hesitated for a long time, but they couldn't tell how ugly they were.

Jiang Qiyan raised half of his eyebrows: "What's the matter, you refused to cooperate from the beginning?"

The old man glanced at him timidly, and said in a low voice, "My name is Chen Laifu, and her name is... Cui Cui."

"Oh——" Jiang Qiyan's ending sound dragged on, he turned his head and asked a subordinate behind him, "Speaking of which, do you think these two names are familiar?"

Both the old man and the pregnant woman were startled, and then the picket who was asked smiled and replied: "Speaking of which, I have seen a Chen Fulai restaurant and a Cuicui tailor shop on Changle Street. Then You brought your brothers to this restaurant."

Jiang Qiyan shook his head frequently: "Ah, when you say that, I remember——I went there a few times for dinner."

When he turned his head, the two people opposite him were already sweating profusely.

His smile remained the same, but his voice became a little bit colder: "Take me for a fool and fool me, right?"

"No, that's not the case, we definitely don't have the guts!" The pregnant woman burst into tears of panic, and she unconsciously grabbed the edge of the table with her ten fingers, "We just, just..."

"No name?" He took her words lightly, which shocked the two of them again.

The old man stammered and asked, "You, how do you know..."

Jiang Qiyan smiled faintly, stood up, paced behind him, put a hand on his shoulder, the old man seemed to be nailed to the chair, he did not dare to move.

"Not only do I know that you don't have names, but I also know some other secrets." Jiang Qiyan said this slowly, and at the same time pulled the old man's collar, revealing his bony nape. The string of numbers engraved on it satisfied him laughed.

9903

Obviously, this is a number.

"You were the third born in 16, right?" Every time he uttered a word, the old man shuddered. "You look old, but you are only [-] years old..."

As he spoke, he leaned close to his ear and asked softly, "Am I right?"

That old man, no, it should be a young man, he was suddenly surrounded by a wave of despair.

I ran away desperately for a long time, maybe even took the life of another sister, but I still couldn't escape.

"Are you suffering from progeria, or what did those people do to you?" Jiang Qiyan looked at this strange young man, very curious, "But looking at you like this, you can't live for a few years, right?"

The young man seemed to have never heard of it, and just stared blankly ahead, his eyes were extremely empty.

Jiang Qiyan didn't care about his attitude, but turned to the pregnant woman. He folded his arms and looked at her condescendingly: "Where is your number? I don't want to be rude to the lady, so please report your family name yourself. "

The woman looked at him with a pale complexion, she bit her lower lip heavily, her eyes were full of fear, Jiang Qiyan frowned, when she was about to check by herself, she suddenly hugged her abdomen, convulsed all over, There was a scream: "It hurts! My stomach hurts..."

Jiang Qiyan watched the paper-colored pregnant woman coldly, not sure if she was acting.

Her companion, that is, the prematurely aging teenager, hugged his feet in panic: "My sister has a stomachache! Please, please save her!"

"I'm not an obstetrician, how can I help?" Jiang Qiyan coldly shook off his hand, still holding the back of the struggling pregnant woman's head, and glanced at the serial number on the back of her neck.

9407

He suddenly became interested, but he didn't know what the girl's number was?

The pregnant woman's cries of pain became more and more horrific. After her lower body turned red, the young man almost collapsed. He hugged his sister who had started to convulse, with tears in his eyes, and begged bitterly: "She will die...she will really die. Dead... Please find a doctor to save her..."

"It's not impossible, but," Jiang Qiyan returned to his position, he heard the words and chuckled, "I never trade at a loss, if you want me to save your sister, I have one condition."

Hearing this, the young man couldn't show any joy, he asked embarrassingly, "Wh-what's the condition?"

"I want you to do me a favor." He no longer pretended to be obedient, and said directly, "Cooperate with me and let her come to me voluntarily."

"……Who?"

Jiang Qiyan sneered: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, you know who I'm talking about."

The young man's old face suddenly stiffened.

It turned out that he was aiming at...

"You're looking for her..." He shivered uncontrollably, "Why are you looking for her?"

"You don't have to worry about it." He stared at him blankly, "Just tell me." He laughed again: "Even if it's a life for a life, it's a good deal, isn't it? After all , the lady still has one in her belly."

His whole body trembled, and his poor sister didn't even have the strength to scream. She leaned against him weakly, her breath was like a thread.

And she was bleeding more and more.

The young man was caught in a dilemma. That person did not hesitate to turn himself into a bait for them. Was he going to betray her?

But if he didn't do that, what would happen to the sister next to him?Could it be that she saw her dead body and two dead bodies on the spot?

He was silent for too long, and Jiang Qiyan became impatient. His eyes fell on the protruding belly of the pregnant woman, and a cold arc was drawn on his lips.

"I heard that seven lives and eight don't live... I've always been curious if it's true." He said slowly, but it made the boy's back feel chills, "The lady said it just now, it's been almost seven months , just to do an experiment..."

The pregnant woman was already unconscious, and did not hear his cruel threats, but the young man was shocked: "You, you can't do this!"

"Why can't I?" He replied calmly, "I am a person who can do anything to get what I want."

The young man's knees gave way, and he completely knelt on the ground, his wailing echoed in the interrogation room.

"I promise you! Promise you! As long as you save her!"

Jiang Qiyan smiled lightly: "Prepare the car and take this lady to the hospital."
