Merit Book·Xinghai

It was snowing heavily, and the snow on the road could drown people's knees, but the automatic suspension system of the speeding car kept it three or four inches from the ground. No matter how thick the snow was, it would have no effect on the driving of the speeding car.

A speeding car stopped by the side of the road, Rong Yuan got out of the car, looked at the flat snow in front of him, sighed, leaned over to fish it out, and picked up a blue-faced, frozen man from the snow by the back of his neck. little girl.

This girl once participated in the assassination of Bai Qixing. Those people planned to kill Rong Yuan as a bait in order to successfully assassinate him. Bring it on.At that time, the girl was seriously injured and her life was dying. Rong Yuan's own condition was not very good, so he put the girl into the hibernation chamber to freeze, and then sank into the ice sheet with the spaceship.After Pea woke up, the "Book of Merit" was reactivated, and Rong Yuan's injuries improved, so he went back to the place where the spaceship was buried, took out the hibernation chamber, and sent the girl to the doctor Gloni who he had helped in the past. There.Obviously, after the girl woke up, she found herself in a strange place surrounded by people she didn't know. She ran away decisively when she found a chance.

Rong Yuan scanned the girl up and down, and saw that her nearly dying wounds had been basically healed, and the rest was just a matter of recuperation.Gloni replaced her blasted mechanical arms and legs with new ones, and thoughtfully sprayed it with a silver-pink finish that little girls love.However, the girl obviously underestimated the harshness of the outside environment when she escaped from the hospital, and she was frozen stiff before she ran far.However, the prison star environment she was originally born in was far from mild, coupled with long-term and systematic exercise, so this child has a very strong physique, and the frostbite is not very serious. It only needs to be cured with ordinary therapeutic equipment, which is not bad. It needs to be sent to Gloni again.

The speeding car turned a corner lightly in the air, then swished across the middle of the street, and sent Rong Yuan and both of them back to the flower shop in less than ten minutes.Alpha then returned the flying car to its owner, erasing all traces of the night's trip, as if nothing had happened.

When the dance party reached the third dance, Selinda, who had just recovered but was still relatively weak, left first. Lance served her to rest, and then arranged various tasks for the observation deck, and then a certain The outdated nobleman who was lucky enough to get an invitation letter from a lower level had another conflict with an official from an alien planet. The waiters couldn't handle it, so they hurriedly called someone to invite Lance; in the middle of the night, there was a distinguished royal family in a box A member had an emergency, and it happened that the doctor had something else to leave.After the doctor was finally found and the condition of the royal family member was stabilized, several young people at the ball fought over jealousy.Troublesome things followed one after another, and by the time Lance had dealt with everything and finally had time to go back to his room to rest, the sky was already slightly bright.

A maid in the corridor was wiping the stains that were accidentally made on the wall. Seeing Lance approaching, she got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "This year's Holy Light ceremony seems to be very busy! You have worked hard tonight Yes, Lord Lance."

Lance froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "You too, you've worked hard. Leave these jobs to the cleaning robot, go back and rest early!"

In a technologically advanced country like the Landia Empire, most of the work can be done by machines, and the extremely high social welfare guarantees that ordinary people can live well even if they don't work for a lifetime.But for many people, he can take a few months or even years off, but doing nothing all his life is very scary.Work is not only to create social value, but also to satisfy self-needs.Therefore, although many Lantian people have a good life or even affluence, they still choose to go out of the house to find a job, even if it is just washing dishes in a restaurant or cleaning fallen leaves on the street.

Therefore, although the Lantian people have different types of jobs, most of them have no obvious distinction between superiors and inferiors.They salute or use honorifics more out of respect and etiquette than out of humble status.

After hearing Lance's words, the maid shook her head and said, "This is my job, so of course I have to do it well. However, Mr. Lance was tired this night, and he never had a good rest to prepare for the Holy Light ceremony. Now it's finally over, please sleep well for a while. If you have enough energy, you will have the energy to face the next work when the sun comes out!"

"It's true." Lance was silent for a moment, and said, "Then I'll go back and rest first...and, happy holidays."

"Happy holidays, Lord Lance."

The maid bowed, lifted her skirt, and continued to squat down to wipe the stains on the wall.

After returning the salute, Lance didn't stay any longer, and continued to walk towards his room, but the focus of his eyes was already slightly loose.

——Yeah, why didn’t you find out before?This year seems to be... extra busy.

why?Because of the queen's coronation, is it the first time for many people to participate in the holy light ceremony?No, not because of that.Newcomers, in this kind of occasion, generally follow the rules and follow the rules, for fear of making mistakes and missing out.Even if there are one or two stunned youths, they will be restrained by the people around them before they do anything.

Speaking of which, why did he feel that many of them were newcomers who came here for the first time?In fact, the proportion of these people in the list that received the invitation letter is not high.The reason why he felt this way... was because some familiar faces he used to see in the past had disappeared.If there are some people sitting in town, even if they don't do anything, the guests who feel that their status is not as good as them will stay aside obediently and quietly as wallflowers, or stand around someone and prick up their ears, listening to every word they talk They are all regarded as treasures, and there will never be a mess of loose sand everywhere like tonight.

Lance paused.

—Yes, that's it.

Many people, who should have shown up long ago and become the center of the crowd, did not show up tonight except at the very beginning.

—Damn it!

Tonight, he was busy with the empress first, and then he was entangled in various trivial matters. Although he was not too busy to be dizzy, he did focus on those emergencies, so that such an obvious fact, he Didn't find out until now.

At the same time, Lance also noticed that when he paused, the two men who were chatting and laughing on the balcony in the distance cast their eyes almost immediately.Although they looked away almost instantly, Lance was keenly aware of it.

His heart sank.

Maintaining the previous expression and pace frequency, he walked into his room as planned, closed the door, and immediately pressed the communication bracelet a few times.He sent out a secret signal that had been agreed in the past. According to the agreement, the other party should respond to him within 1 minute.

1分钟过去了……2分钟过去了……3分钟……5分钟……10分钟……

No response.

Lance lowered his head, his eyes were calm, like a deep pool of ancient abyss.

He unbuttoned the bracelet and threw it aside; unbuttoned the cuffs and rolled up the sleeves; unbuttoned the chest to the third, tugged at the collar, exposing the collarbone and a large piece of chest; , messed up the meticulous hairstyle, a little more casual and uninhibited.Then he walked to the wine cabinet, poured himself a full glass of spirits, drank most of it in one go, and let out a long breath of satisfaction.

…………

Following the Queen's order, when Leopold rushed into the room with people, he saw a man leaning on the sofa with disheveled clothes and long phoenix eyes that seemed shimmering due to alcohol, and he was stunned for a long time Only then did he realize that the man shaking the wine glass in his hand and looking at him with a half-smile was also the serious and meticulous royal butler Lance in his impression.

Lance put down his wine glass, crossed his hands on his chin, and said in a long voice, "General Leopold."

Leopold's scalp went numb, and he felt his whole body tremble. The man in front of him made him feel inexplicably dangerous. He waved his hand to stop the soldiers behind him from coming forward to arrest him, and said, "Wait a minute."

"A wise choice." Lance sighed regretfully: "In front of you, I laid a few lines. If you take another step forward, you will all be cut in half."

The soldiers gasped and looked in front of them subconsciously, but saw nothing.

"Nanowires, invisible." Leopold said coldly: "Lance, we have already laid a net around here, and you can't escape! What's the use of you struggling like this now? "

"At least you can just stand there and watch now, can't you?" Lance sighed and said, "How are the people in the organization?"

Leopold said coldly, "They're all dead."

In fact, it's not that he can't do anything about Lance now. If he shoots Lance now, there is a high probability that he will hit him. The interception range of the nanowire is very limited.It's just that what Her Majesty wants to see is Lance who was captured alive, so he can't kill him here, he can only order someone to fetch equipment that can detect and cut nanowires.

Lance was silent for a while before he said, "Is that really the case?"

He did not dwell in his grief for too long, in fact, Leopold suspected he might not have grieved his companion's death at all.The next sentence he asked was puzzled: "I don't understand why you acted so quickly this time? Logically speaking, you don't know who is the organization in your team... Action, we can't have not heard a little bit of wind in advance."

He can accept his failure, but he can't accept that until now, he doesn't know why he failed.

Seeing the real and complete confusion in his eyes, like a child's eyes full of persistence and earnestness that just want to get an answer, Leopold stared at him, and after a while, he slowly took out a button-type projection instrument, tap and throw.

The projector cast a light curtain in the air, and a holographic image of a man appeared in it. He said in a straight line: "The organization was established in... the purpose is... the main members I know are... the main actions in these years..."

In ten minutes or so, this man almost poured out the bottom of the organization, how much darkness that will never be seen by light, just like that was lightly revealed by him.

Lance recognized him. He was one of the three leaders of the organization. Not to mention his ability, his loyalty was unquestionable—because he himself was the one who benefited the most from the form of the organization, and he was also the one who served in various aspects of the organization. He is the one with the deepest crime in this kind of operation, so he is more urgent than anyone else to protect the organization.At the same time, his identity is also highly confidential. It is his two agents who usually replace him in contact with other people in the organization. His hands and reputation are as pure and flawless as Landia's snow, and he should not be The person caught him right away.

Lance thought so, and suddenly his fingers twitched slightly.

He thought of a name, a man who had repeatedly created miracles, seemed to be the man who was born to break all kinds of "impossible"...

Rong Yuan!
