"Colonel."

The standard-equipped adjutant took off his military cap and opened the door for the oncoming people: "The convoy has assembled and is ready to leave at any time."

The person who came was a man in his 30s. He was also in military uniform, and the epaulets and collar badge clearly showed the person's military rank.His face is well-defined, and the corners of his mouth are drawn into a serious smile.His eyes are narrow and long, and when he stares at a person, his eyes will have an invisible sense of oppression.

"Let's go." He ordered, and got into the car.

The black car drove out of the courtyard. There were three cars in total, the same style, but the plates came from three different places.Their routes are different, but their destinations are roughly the same.In the military camp outside the city, several military vehicles also drove out of the camp one after another, heading in the same direction.

This is a journey across several provinces, and the person leading this journey is the young colonel Shen Ximing who holds the military power.

Now it's Shen Xiuyuan.

He sat in the car and had a lot of time to think about his tasks.

How do you count as someone around Shen Ximing?

Who will the killer be?

Shen Xiuyuan scanned the inside of the car calmly.Adjutants and drivers can be regarded as one of the closest people. They have followed Shen Ximing in the army for many years, and they are almost a community of interests, sharing weal and woe.Shen Ximing is familiar with every move of these two people, and any abnormality can be detected through memory comparison.In Shen Ximing's memory, the two relatives were also in the safe zone, and their health was in good health. Initially, it seemed that there was no motive for murder.

But Shen Ximing has more than these two soldiers under his command.Leaving aside the barracks left behind, there were several officers who followed him back to Beijing to report on their duties, and they got along day and night in the barracks during the war-are those people close to him?

Thinking about the home after returning to Beijing... Shen Xiuyuan made a rough count, and the names on the suspected list easily broke ten.

Of course, the "rebellion" of "people around you" cannot be unreasonable, and it is very likely to find clues if you keep monitoring.

In an extreme case, however, this "rebellion" can come without warning.

——If this "person next to him" becomes another host with a mission.

This host will break away from Shen Ximing's fixed cognition of his original identity, and rely on the cover of his original identity to catch Shen Xiuyuan by surprise.

Fortunately, although the motivation has disappeared, the words and deeds of this host will also be different from the original identity, which may not be undetectable.Rather than saying that Shen Xiuyuan wants to defeat the opponent, it is better to say that Shen Xiuyuan has been looking forward to the "encounter with other hosts" for a long time.

It is important to do the task, but getting out of this damned system is the ultimate goal. Shen Xiu will never let go of any clues that may be related to the truth.The promise of the system is like a dead letter in Shen Xiuyuan's eyes. The so-called relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.He is used to looking at the overall situation and making decisions before making moves, but now the TOTM system forces him to be a "pawn" and does not allow any prying eyes on the true intentions of the "uppers", which is definitely not a pleasant thing.

After all, Shen Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention to the secular novels with overflowing themes, and he wasn't a mindless person who readily accepted any adventures. His position with the system was far from mutual assistance, and he might even stand on the opposite side.Even if it is difficult to resist, do you want him to be completely obedient?impossible.

The appearance of "David" and "National Teacher" gave Shen Xiuyuan a little hope.

The system doesn't support it, but Shen Xiuyuan may find a way to "communicate" with other hosts.Even if the other party knows as little as himself, at least they can communicate with each other, instead of just speculating on this matter based on one person's speculation.

Based on his own experience and the only memories he has about other hosts—that is, "David" and "National Teacher"—Shen Xiuyuan believes that the hosts have one thing in common: they are obsessed with an action goal that may not be reasonable and has a deadline.

So in this assassination operation, will there be another host's handwriting?

The black car finally stopped in front of a single-door European-style villa.

Shen Xiuyuan got out of the car, and Qin Bo, the housekeeper of the villa, greeted him at the door with a maid.Uncle Qin and the maid are both old, they are old people who have worked here since Shen Ximing's parents' generation, and they treat Shen Ximing with almost the kindness of relatives and juniors.

However, for Shen Xiuyuan, they were certain suspects.

"Welcome back, young master." The butler was courteous, and the happy expression on his face revealed a sense of intimacy, "No, it should be Colonel Shen."

Shen Xiuyuan didn't show his happiness on his face, but his tone was gentle: "You can just use the address you used to call me when you were at home, Uncle Qin."

Qin Bolian responded a few times, and together with the maid greeted the adjutant and driver who had just parked the car and were carrying luggage, and the helpers who had been waiting for a long time also came to help.Shen Xiuyuan entered the house and was about to go upstairs, when he turned his head and saw the excitement of the people, he suddenly felt that Shen Ximing was coming home in style.

However, Shen Xiuyuan was not used to it.

In fact, the housekeeper just ordered a few words, and soon rushed to the bottom of the stairs, asking Shen Xiuyuan if he was tired, hungry, and what he wanted.Shen Xiuyuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this coaxing child-like questioning.It just so happened that the adjutant was robbed of the salute and work by the servants, and he stood in the hall with nothing to do, eagerly waiting for orders.With a wave of his hand, Shen Xiuyuan asked Uncle Qin to find someone to guide the adjutant and the driver to get familiar with the local conditions.

"That's right." Shen Xiuyuan stopped on the stairs, and remembered another thing, "Is Yaoyao not at home?"

Yaoyao, whose full name is Shen Yuyao, is Shen Ximing's younger sister, ten years younger than Shen Ximing.She was sent to study abroad before, and it is said that she has returned last month. Shen Xiuyuan put her in a position of focus - of course, referring to the list of assassination suspects.

"Miss went out to meet friends." Uncle Qin replied, "Come back before dinner."

Shen Xiuyuan nodded and ordered: "Let the driver and the adjutant identify the place when they go out later, and let the driver pick Yaoyao back when they turn around."

The adjutant and Qin Bo responded together: "Yes."

During dinner, Shen Xiuyuan changed into casual clothes and went downstairs, the sharpness of the blade was weakened a bit.As soon as he entered the restaurant, a young girl threw herself into his arms with a fragrant wind.

"Brother!" The girl's joy was beyond words, "I miss you so much!"

Although Shen Yuyao loved her brother before, she had never shown her emotions so clearly. This manual habit was acquired when she was studying abroad.If it were Shen Ximing, he might be taken aback by her sudden action.Fortunately, Shen Xiuyuan was more familiar with this kind of etiquette than she was. He patted his sister reassuringly on the shoulder, and turned her back to sit at the dining table without any hassle.

There was no one else in the Shen family, and the two siblings sat face to face and began to eat.

Taking advantage of the break between meals, Shen Xiuyuan naturally raised the topic.Shen Yuyao is outgoing and cheerful. She has been doted on since she was a child, and she respects her elder brother. She is defenseless against Shen Xiuyuan's questioning.Shen Xiuyuan's question didn't even need much embellishment. His status as a relative and half guardian allowed him to question all of Shen Yuyao's actions.

And Shen Xiuyuan is very good at dealing with young girls - this sounds a little surprising, but after all, there is a cousin assistant who hangs around him all day, so you have to get used to it if you are not used to it.In comparison, Shen Yuyao, who has only drank foreign ink for a few years, is too shallow.

"Magazine?"

The chopsticks in Shen Xiuyuan's hand paused, and he naturally used the tone of an elder: "Just how many of you children?"

"They are all excellent people, brother!" Shen Yuyao pouted, she looked delicate and smart in her 20s, "We didn't plan to order a huge circulation from the beginning, and it would be okay to make a small magazine. Is it difficult for us?"

"A group of high-achieving students who have returned from studying abroad..." Shen Xiuyuan couldn't say whether he was happy or not, but just replied, "It sounds like you should try it now, and then it will be released everywhere in the future?"

"That's not good." Shen Yuyao put on a cute grimace, "If our magazine develops in the future, when you go out, some people will say, 'That's the brother of the famous editor-in-chief Shen' Oh!"

"Well, it's a good thing that you have hobbies, and I can support you." Shen Xiuyuan compromised, "There is only one thing, Yaoyao—you know that the current situation is unstable, pay attention to safety, and be wary of new friends."

"Of course I know!" Shen Yuyao replied, "I'm not an idiot, how could I make friends with people of unknown origin? Actually, it's all your fault, brother. If you weren't a rising star in the army, who would have noticed I?"

These words seemed to be derogatory but actually flattering, and the little girl's tone could not conceal the elation.However, Shen Xiuyuan didn't quite trust this younger sister's line of defense. She was young, changeable in thinking, and would meet many young people like her.Although she looks weak, the safer the place, the more likely there are hidden murderous intentions, and the tasks of the system are usually not easy.

There are only a handful of families who can send their children to study abroad, and their influence in the city is intricate.Although everyone looks friendly on the surface and allows the juniors to associate with each other, it may not be that no one is stabbing in the dark.

Especially when Shen Ximing and Shen Yuyao returned to this city, it was equivalent to the Shen family reappearing in this dark circle.Even though Shen Ximing changed his military uniform, the gun-wielding adjutant, the driver who was not easy to provoke, and the small troops settled in the suburbs all made people feel that the wolves from outside were coming to share food and store food.

Shen Xiuyuan's main task is to solve the case, but Shen Ximing's is not.

The young colonel who holds the military power, returns to report on his duties, and may go further——

There are many people who want to murder him.
