When the magic flower blooms

Maybe it was working from early morning until now, the voice of Naga on the phone sounded a little hoarse.But the tone is still relaxed, even with a sense of routine-like beating.

"What are you doing?" He asked Ming Ruoxing.

"go to bed!"

It is impossible for Ming Ruoxing who was woken up to be angry.

"Still sleeping? It's been more than ten hours! Tsk tsk, it really is a lazy cat."

"Where is the cat family lazy? Be careful, I will complain about your blood discrimination!"

Ming Ruoxing probably hasn't realized that his protest is more like acting like a baby.In order to avoid making him angry by laughing out loud, Naga hastily responded twice and changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not be lazy. Don't talk about this, how is your health?"

"..."

Ming Ruoxing blushed and did not answer.

Maybe thinking that he didn't hear clearly, Naga asked again in a different way.

"We were so intense last night, did I hurt you?"

"Go away, I'm not so fragile!"

Ming Ruoxing wanted to reach out and cover his mouth, but then he asked uncomfortably, "Where did you call?!"

"Smoking room. Don't worry, I'm alone."

Although he wanted to continue teasing him, Naga got to the point.

"The situation here is changing very quickly, and I'm going to take the team to other places to do early deployment tonight...I'm afraid I don't have time to come to you for a while. Also, please take care of Little Xingxing, just feed him twice a day, use Don't get too used to it."

"Aren't you going back to the dormitory to pick up your luggage?"

Ming Ruoxing thought he was just concerned about it out of courtesy: "Why is the situation so urgent?"

The other end of the phone paused for two seconds, then suddenly lowered its voice.

"Tell you that this mission should be fine..."

"Don't say it!"

The rules in the bureau are clear: before a major action, the plan cannot be disclosed to irrelevant personnel.He stopped immediately to avoid becoming an accomplice of the Naga.

"As expected of a reserve cadre of the Disciplinary Committee, you can really hold your breath. If it were you who went out to carry out the mission, I'm afraid I'd have to get to the bottom of it."

This sentence seems to be a compliment, and it sounds a little harsh.Ming Ruoxing didn't know how to react, so he simply put on a businesslike attitude.

"Pay attention to your words and deeds. I can ask you to write an inspection at any time after you come back."

"Okay, okay, I know you will wait for me to come back."

Naga seems to have started to take steps, and a series of footsteps came from the phone.

"By the way, Xiao Ming... But this time I have a hunch that I'm going to make a big contribution, maybe the next day you'll have to call me sir."

"You come back with your life first."

Ming Ruoxing's aggressiveness caused Ming Ruoxing to speak unscrupulously, but he regretted it immediately after saying this sentence - after all, Naga was about to go out to work, this is not something that can be joked casually.

Fortunately, Naga didn't care, he was the kind of person who was not afraid of anything.

"I'll have a good chat with you when I bring you some special products back."

Speaking of which, other people's movements came out on the phone.Naga abided by the agreement with Ming Ruoxing and ended the call.

Ming Ruoxing, who also put away his mobile phone, turned his gaze to the west, which was the direction of the headquarters of the Demihuman Security Affairs Bureau.At five or six o'clock in the evening, the sky had already darkened.At the end of the skyline, large clouds are reflecting the gorgeous afterglow of the setting sun.

-

After a short period of sunshine, City S ushered in a week-long rainy season.

Rain in late spring and early summer accelerates plant growth.The heather withered quickly, and the paulownia fell all over the ground.The pure white pomelo flowers bloom quietly under the cover of emerald green leaves, revealing a refreshing fragrance.

With some difficulty, Ming Ruoxing carried a large cardboard box from the mail room to the fifth floor.He swiped open the door of Naga's house with his spare room card, and the white cat who had been waiting at the entrance came up to him and rubbed his trouser legs to show affection.

One person and one cat came to the living room and opened the big cardboard box on the coffee table.All kinds of dry and wet cat food, snacks and large bags of cat litter are stacked in the box.In the shopping list attached to the goods, the item "total amount" approached four digits extremely exaggeratedly.

Ten days have passed since I was entrusted to take care of the white cat.From being reluctant to spending a lot of money, Ming Ruoxing seems to want to spoil the cat to achieve the goal of disguised revenge.Today, the white cat has been bred to have a good appetite, but the real cat owner has never come back.

Since the phone call before departure, Ming Ruoxing has not received any news from Naga.Of course, this is not abnormal: whenever a major task is encountered, the task force may disappear collectively for ten days and half a month.The longest one was the joint operation between China and Thailand at the beginning of last year. Naga set off on Valentine's Day, and returned to China with local products and arm bandages after the Ching Ming Festival.

Only this time, things seemed a little different.

Ming Ruoxing swears that he never broke the rules to inquire deliberately, it was the news that kept pouring into his ears.

There are seven teams in the Internal Operations Division of the Asian Security Bureau headquarters, and they usually handle different cases separately.However, this time, except for the seventh group who stayed on standby, all the six major action groups were dispatched.In addition, there should be support from a large number of other organizations, and the sum is by no means a small amount.

Such an important action, but carried out quietly, can not help but make people imagine.The most mainstream speculation focused on the sub-human extremist organization code-named "Chimera".

As a global extremist organization, although the birthplace of the "Chimera" is in Europe, with the eastward shift of the world's economic center of gravity, the Asian region has become a highly active new stage.Especially in Southeast Asia, there is even an increasingly out-of-control disorder.

As for Northeast Asia, due to the dual suppression by the national government and the Asian authorities, the Chinese branch of "Chimera" has been keeping a low profile and hidden, but the high technology and economic aid it exports have had an impact that cannot be ignored on the situation in other regions .

Ming Ruoxing is no stranger to the "Chimera"—only in the few years since he joined the job, the disciplinary committee has investigated and dealt with five undercover agents lurking inside the Asian Security Bureau, and the spy war between the two sides is still going on today. .

Therefore, if this operation can really deal a fatal blow to the Chinese branch of "Chimera", then the "promotion" mentioned by Naga is not impossible.

Of course, the premise is that he can return safely.

-

Two weeks later on the weekend, the hot and humid rainy season is over.Holding the package in his arms, Ming Ruoxing opened the door to the fifth floor again.

Cat food, litter boxes, scratching posts and an assortment of cat toys have carved out a large colony in this home.But the generous benefactor has no plans to stop.

When passing the aisle, the little toe kicked a mountain of cat cans for the third time. After the pain, Ming Ruoxing began to seriously consider finding a new storage place for these materials.

The storage room is full of Naga's hardware tools and old magazines, the bathroom is extremely damp, the balcony is not easy to store in direct sunlight, and the kitchen is too small... In the end, Ming Ruoxing had to adopt a split model.And when he pushed the last box of canned cat food under the bed, he unexpectedly found a pile of malicious-looking magazines in the corner.

No matter what age, there are still people who rely on magazines for pornography. This guy is really "old school".

Ming Ruoxing felt a little nervous, dragged out the books to have a look, and found that they were all unsightly and bad magazines, some of which were mail-ordered from overseas.

That guy spends half his salary every month on this shit, right?

He thought so maliciously, and began to take pictures as evidence for future ridicule.But after all, he is a vigorous young man, and he blushes when he pats and pats, and his heart beats. He can't help but turn back page by page, and when he sees some unimaginable scenes, he will silently marvel and comment in his heart .

In this way, he slowly finished the first book, and then went to the second book.And this time I flipped through, unexpectedly, I turned out a piece of paper sandwiched between the pages of the book.

Ming Ruoxing was dumbfounded, because this was his photo—more precisely, it was a group of promotional photos of his uniform that he was invited by the Publicity Department of the Asian Security Bureau a year ago, and was subsequently used in a small-scale circulation. On the internal desk calendar.

Blushing and heartbeat are no longer enough to describe Ming Ruoxing's predicament at the moment, he felt that his fingertips pinching the photo were numb, and he was even a little disobedient.

Not only that, the ups and downs of emotions also inspired the demihuman ability, he seemed to smell a scent of heather wafting from these pages.

He didn't even want that photo, closed the magazine with a snap, and kicked back under the bed with a blushing face.Just at this moment, the cell phone in his coat pocket suddenly started to vibrate, making him stand up so numb that he almost screamed.

The vibrating reminder was a pop-up window from the Yaren News app.Just a few dozens of news summaries instantly grabbed Ming Ruoxing's attention.

"Late last night, the special operations team of the Asian Security Bureau raided the Chinese branch of the "Chimera" organization located in an abandoned industrial city in northwest my country. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and the casualties were unknown."

At this moment, the fog for half a month dissipated.Ming Ruoxing swiped open the phone, and couldn't wait to click to read the full text.

Perhaps it is because the relevant parties have just released the news, and this news can only be regarded as a short message.All important information has been included in the summary just now, and only a few photos of the scene remain.

But it was just these few photos that made Ruo Xing's heart skip a beat.

Huge, abandoned buildings look like the remains of prehistoric animals.Standing in a desolate city abandoned due to exhaustion of resources.Those places where the lights were once lit are now spewing golden red flames and billowing smoke.

In these large panoramic photos, helicopters can be seen hovering in the sky, and special vehicles on the ground are constantly coming and going, but it is difficult to see the specific police officers involved in the operation, let alone identify their identities.

Ming Ruoxing exited the news page and opened the communication software.Sure enough, the group of colleagues in the Asian Security Bureau has already chatted in full swing.The members of the seventh action team who stayed at the headquarters became the focus.But they also simply said: since the evening of the day before yesterday, all team members have been on standby at the first level since the evening before yesterday, and the standby status was lifted at noon today, and there is no further news.

A few minutes after so many different opinions, someone suddenly called the cell phone of a policeman from the third action group.The other party suffered a minor injury and was being bandaged in the hospital, but it is not convenient to disclose the specific situation.

Immediately afterwards, more news began to spread into the group: Eight hours after the exchange of fire between the two sides, the raid ended at [-]:[-] this morning, and the Chimera China branch was basically destroyed.Most of the team members involved in the operation have been safely withdrawn to the city where the interim command headquarters is located.There have been casualties, but exact figures are still being tallied.

The information in the group keeps beating, but Ming Ruoxing has no intention to read it carefully.He immediately dialed Naga's mobile phone number - the other party was still turned off.

That's right, Naga is the team leader anyway, and one of the specific persons in charge of this operation.At this moment, he should still stay at the scene of the incident to direct the aftermath. It is normal that he cannot or simply forgets to turn on the phone.

Ming Ruoxing seemed to have convinced himself and turned his attention back to his colleagues.But after only a few minutes, he became uneasy again—the leader of the second group who also participated in the operation went online, and he was also the first person to appear online.

All kinds of greeting messages flooded the screen in an instant.Ming Ruoxing simply quit the group chat interface, and sent a private chat message to that person alone.

"Is Naga with you?"

Perhaps because there were too many people chatting privately, the leader of the second group did not reply immediately.Ming Ruoxing knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he ordered himself to put the phone aside and continue to place cat food.

About 3 minutes later, the phone shook slightly and the screen lit up.

"I'm not too sure about the specifics. I can only say that he's not at the scene right now."
