Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Leaving the private room, Su Shichuan entered the public bathroom of the tavern, locked the door behind his back, and looked in the mirror to make a second face for himself little by little.Cang Xingyun leaned against the wall of the corridor to smoke, and incidentally warned other guests who might pass by for him.

Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened from the inside, Cang Xingyun pinched his cigarette butt, and when he looked up to meet a completely unfamiliar face, he couldn't help being stunned for a few seconds.This is the first time he has seen the disguise of a professional agent, and it is different from the superficial meaning of the literal expression. It can even be said that if he did not know that there was only Su Shichuan in the bathroom, Cang Xingyun would have a hard time believing the woman in front of him. It turned out to be him!

The correction of the face is fine enough to make the real one look fair, the skin is fair, the brows are thin and flexible, even the eyes are full of the charm of a young woman, and the unique intelligence of a businessman, but there is no male characteristic at all.

"This is really..." Cang Xingyun was at a loss for words, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Are you surprised?" Su Shichuan injected drugs that paralyze the muscles of the pharynx, plus artificial changes, so the voice matches the disguise without any sense of disobedience. It is a very clear female voice, but he is talking to Cang Xingyun At the same time, it is inevitable to bring a bit of sly taste of unknown meaning.

Mr. Assassin quickly adjusted, and silently collected the bursting three views. He really couldn't associate Su Shichuan's old fox with such subtle words as "women's fetishism", and said calmly, "A little bit."

"Don't get me wrong," Su Shichuan explained with a smile as if he had seen through his mind, "The transgender disguise is just to match another partner, he is more used to pretending to be a woman, and I will not use this identity in the later stage, so Let him be Lord."

Cang Xingyun looked indifferent: "The one you won't let me do?"

"Yeah." Su Shichuan lifted the lotus leaf of his cuffs to look at his watch, "I have to go, otherwise I might be late."

Cang Xingyun took the initiative to follow: "I'll see you off."

"Then go to the door." Su Shichuan said.

The two walked down the stairs. It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and the voices of the chattering in the tavern area had weakened a lot.There were no new customers at this point. The proprietress behind the bar finished wiping the glasses and was lying on the table playing a single-player billiards game with a tablet optical computer. When she heard the movement, she rolled her eyelids and took a look at the two of them.

"Welcome next time." Her voice sounded like she was falling asleep.

Su Shichuan smiled politely at her, opened the door and left the tavern, and said without looking back: "Do what I said as soon as possible. As for tonight, just keep it a secret from them for the time being."

"Yes." Cang Xingyun said, "Be careful yourself."

After the words were closed, the two separated tacitly from left to right. It happened that there were three or five guests coming out at this time, and the metal bell on the door frame "jingling bell" kept ringing. They were like strangers, and no one looked back. Look at each other one more time.

The news of the meeting suddenly appeared on the personal terminal a week ago, the sender ID was encrypted, and I couldn’t react when I opened the Cang Xingyu point. After reading the email several times, it gradually became the one that belonged to the one in my memory. The tone of the person matched, and then he found an excuse to leave the imperial capital and head to this remote trading town alone.

Su Shichuan specially told one person to come over, and he would naturally not reveal the news to his companions.

Ten years ago, these outsiders followed Xifa to the alliance's territory. In the early stage, they were neither trusted by Xifa nor reused by the alliance. The initial stage was extremely difficult.Su Shichuan asked Seventeen to replace him as a new crow, but Seventeen is an intelligent body that is not good at understanding people's hearts, let alone the shrewd and experienced Rex. Cang Xingyun is almost sure that Rex has doubts in his heart. But the cleverness of the other party is that they will not point out, but wait patiently for them to come to the door.

On the one hand, there is a task that must not be defied, and on the other hand, the status quo is difficult. Just when the situation became rigid for a while, a breakthrough appeared in Yunus.

Rex is a person who will not let go of any powerful opportunity. He discovered the uniqueness of the mecha Suzaku in a weapon inspection report. After learning that this mecha came from an internal designer of "Unknown", he Finally restraining his patience for the concept of "smart mecha", he took the initiative to summon unknown people with suspicious identities.

And this is just the beginning. Compared with Rex's concern, what they need to solve most is how to win Xifa's trust.

After leaving the town, Cang Xingyun unlocked the suspension car, and got into the driving seat shortly.

It is far away from the mainland where the imperial capital is located, and it will take at least one to two days to return. According to the itinerary provided by Su Shichuan, it is impossible for him to personally participate in the search and arrest.Cang Xingyun leaned back in the driver's seat, watching the port floating above the night through the skylight, he thought quietly for a few minutes, then put on the headset and made a voice request to go up.

At the same time, a tremor resounded in the study room on the second floor of the Silver Tower in the main palace, far away in the Seven Star Hall in the Imperial City.

Affected by this, the conversation stopped immediately. Minister of Intelligence Brandt consciously kept quiet, leaned back on the back of the armchair, picked up the teacup on the low table and blew gently, but his eyes slid to the back of the desk indistinctly The young crown prince was drinking tea while paying attention to the other party's one-sided questioning.

At this time, it was the late spring night outside the window, and everything was silent, and the bright white moonlight slanted down from the window, spreading a fine layer on the man's long light golden hair.

After seeing the applicant's ID, Xifa got up and walked to the window, turned his back to Brandt, and pressed the headset: "What's the matter, Xingyun?"

At that moment, there was a wind, and a scent of laurel flowers wrapped in warmth was blowing, brushing a strand of hair beside his ear, and scratching his cheek as if nothing.

The whole communication process was very fast. Brandt listened carefully, but he didn't hear the reason from the beginning to the end. He could only judge from a change in tone that something happened. I can't figure it out.

A few minutes later, the communication was hung up, and Xifa turned around and leaned against the edge of the upper window sill, raised his eyelashes slightly, and looked at the Minister of Intelligence who was sitting on the armchair: "Xingyun told me that he got a piece of information, saying that the latest news from the Luo Yin Empire A group of infiltration agents has been arranged, and people should have entered the alliance territory, and they will go deep into Sirius in the next two days."

His voice was very soft, revealing a sense of casualness, but Brant, who heard the news, was stunned.

It is related to the infiltration of agents. As the head of the intelligence department, although he knows that the intelligence war must be active before the war officially starts, but the other side's agents come in, and he is not aware of it. Shirk dereliction of duty.In view of the serious consequences, it was impossible for him not to doubt the authenticity of the news, but His Highness made it clear that the person who brought the news was the assassin close to him.

"Is this... credible?" Brandt expressed his doubts carefully.

"Whether it's credible or not needs to be verified by you, and it can't be verified with just a question." Xifa took a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath, "The point just now is not the point. A high-ranking member of the Ministry, he personally participated, and will take a night-time passenger spaceship to leave the affiliated planet of the Alliance in three days and go to the space station of the Empire."

The smoke blows away, mixed with the scent of laurel, it smells very refreshing.

Xifa raised the corners of his mouth in an unclear manner, remained silent for a few seconds, and said again: "It just so happens that you are here, and you happen to be in the same business, so let's hand it over to the intelligence department and find him."

"Yes." Brant got up to take orders, and finally asked, "Do I need to report to the commander?"

"It's too late, he should have gone to sleep." Xifa said, "Time is limited, you first order the accompanying personnel, and notify the garrison over there to cooperate with the operation, and I will talk to the commander."

Brant nodded: "This subordinate understands."

"You have to live." Xifa warned, and slightly raised his chin at him, "Go."

"Yes," Brant bowed and saluted, "This subordinate will take his leave."

After he left, the study room was completely quiet. Sifa returned to the table, put out the remaining half of the cigarette in the ashtray, and picked up the latest information on the Imperial Army Department collected by the Intelligence Department.In order to ensure the accuracy of first-hand information, such intelligence books will be systematically updated every few weeks at the latest, so as to grasp the situation of the enemy's high-level officials.

According to the index, Xifa turned to the starting page whose surname begins with "S". ——Su Shichuan (Admiral), Mentor of the Crown Prince, Commander of the Forbidden Army, and Deputy Minister of Intelligence.

He stared at the photo for a long time, then suddenly picked up the page of paper with his fingers and tore it off. Then he opened the last drawer of the desk and put it in neatly.

Over the past ten years, thousands of data updates have been made, and he has collected the page belonging to Tutor Huang without stopping.

……

Three days later, in the place where the alliance belongs, a man-made passenger transformation star.

On the third floor of the passenger station hotel, the door of the twin room was opened, and Aning walked into the room in a hurry, and put the paper bag for breakfast on the old round table.

Su Shichuan was sitting in an armchair reading a morning newspaper of the alliance's mainstream media, looked up at him, and asked lightly: "Sent away?"

"Well, I explained the precautions again." Aning sat down in another armchair while talking, opened the paper bag and took out two boxes of Tetra Pak milk, pushed one of the boxes in front of Su Shichuan, and then inserted it I took a big gulp of my box of straws contentedly, and after a long silence, I couldn't help but add, "It's not me, the quality of these agents is quite different, and two of them are really stupid."

Su Shichuan smiled nonchalantly, and turned a page of the newspaper in hand: "It's not the first day you know them. Can't change the status quo, eat well."

The "stupid" in their mouth is not the same as the general meaning. The seven agents all graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, and then went straight to the intelligence department. There are so few people who can't catch Aning's eyes.

Aning held the straw in his mouth and was obviously really annoyed: "Jiao Su," he still kept the title he used in the military academy, "You are the leader, and I definitely respect your choice, but everyone is doing this. I'm not saying that they are definitely not good, but some people are only suitable for rear support, they can't go to the front line!"

"Want to know why?" Su Shichuan said casually.

"After training for so many years, I have come here. The reason is not that important." Aning sighed and drank milk silently, "I just think that something might happen to them based on their quality. They sent them away, but they couldn't come back. Come."

"You're right." Su Shichuan said calmly, "The reason for choosing them is to cause accidents."

Aning was startled, and blurted out: "You did it on purpose?!" After finishing speaking, he went over all the past again, thinking that it's no wonder that Su Shichuan didn't say anything when he questioned him before. Classify agents.

Su Shichuan said: "On the eve of the war, intelligence activities were frequent, and even if the alliance could not grasp the actual plan, they can still be 100% sure that we will draw up a new infiltration plan after the last empire's agents were wiped out. It's the same for us."

"Ah Ning, have you ever thought about such a problem - in the case that all agents are perfectly hidden, in order to prevent accidents from happening, people's vigilance determines that they will be on guard at all times, which leads to the core area being tightly protected It is impenetrable, so outsiders will always be outsiders, no matter how proficient the deception skills are, it is impossible to go deep into the enemy's interior, because all the roads are blocked."

"In contrast, if the level of dispatched agents varies, those who inadvertently expose the target will attract the enemy's attention and provide them with clues and directions for tracing. And because they have successfully captured the target, they will instead Let your guard down, and the road will come naturally."

Since the birth of the concept of "intelligence warfare", the deployment of special agents has been trying to be watertight. The theory mentioned by Su Shichuan is brand new, and even involves the most taboo "exposed targets" in intelligence work.But what he said is convincing, because he used "exposure" to strengthen the concealment of other people, so "exposure" was converted into a benign sacrifice, which can be described as a very bold approach .

only……

Aning learned the so-called truth at the last moment of the planned deployment. No matter whether the agent's ability is good or bad, he personally selected and trained him. However, according to this statement, their fate has been divided from the beginning. Some people are hidden arrows, while others are the bait for swaying.

He spent ten years to sentence a person who trusted him, admired him, and even called him "teacher" to death.Every day he faces those people who will undoubtedly die in ten years, but he can smile freely and behave normally.

What kind of cold-bloodedness is this?

Aning suddenly felt shuddering, they had known each other for 13 years, but he still couldn't understand Su Shichuan, sometimes he felt that he was gentle and considerate, able to take jokes, not at all the self-esteem and arrogance of the superiors, but At other times, he felt that he was as rational as a machine, good at calculating, good at deployment, and good at manipulating people's hearts.

"Jiao Su," Aning said calmly, but his fingers subconsciously pinched the milk Tetra Pak box, "is this too cruel?"

"Yes, who said no?" Closing the newspaper, Su Shichuan took the milk box in his hand and put it on the table, "I did have my purpose in picking people, but in real actions, fate is still in the hands of others." In my own hands. After ten years, whether I can survive or not, the initiative is not entirely up to me."

Aning smiled: "That's right." He turned his head to look at Su Shichuan, "The day you go to Sirius, have you made all the arrangements?"

Su Shichuan gave a "hmm" and said: "The news has been released, you should have noticed that the security of the transit star has obviously changed in the past few days."

"This plan is also risky," Aning said. "If you take the initiative to expose your identity, what if the Third Highness doesn't want to miss the old relationship? What if he doesn't have that power? What if Rex wants to use you to threaten His Majesty?" ?Ten thousand--"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Shichuan raised his eyes and squinted, and interjected directly: "Then I will be the first bait to sway, and you will take over the command and continue my work."

Aning: "..."

It would be an understatement to say that this kind of guy who doesn't even treat himself as a human being is cold-blooded.

Su Shichuan raised his wrist to confirm the time, and then got up: "It's time to board the ship, when you arrive at the space station, say hello to Achen for me."

Aning stood up, sighed, and said sullenly: "You have adopted this kind of plan, and you have absolutely kept it secret from the outside world. I think that when General Feng learns that you have been detained by the alliance, and sees me again, I'm afraid he will hate me so much." I don’t even want to spit out the bones.”

"That's really hard work for you." Su Shichuan put on the sunglasses, took a set of women's clothes from the closet and handed them to Aning, without further words, motioned him to change them quickly.

Ah Ning continued to feel sorry for herself, took the suit, pulled out the crumpled bra and stockings from under the quilt, and went into the bathroom as if resigned to her fate.

When the door lock made a "click", the smile on Su Shichuan's face disappeared, and he clicked on the light screen of the communicator.

There is a message sent not long ago on the hidden channel, and the message from Cang Xing is: [Intelligence Department is responsible for the search, Minister Brant, Rex's old department, the torture technology is good, be careful. 】

After reading it, Su Shichuan's eyes were rarely surprised, and he said to himself that arranging the intelligence department to come over is really the right medicine, which is much more effective than those in air combat and land combat. Which bastard deployed it?I can't save him some trouble...
