hope for redemption

Beijing China.

In the deep winter in the north, a red wall separates the snow scene outside from the warmth inside the office. The heating box next to the wall is humming while still continuously delivering the warm air with fragrance.

The furnishings in the office are very simple. The basic tone of brown and gray reveals the calm temperament of the office workers. The entire bookcase against the wall full of books reflects the office workers’ love for reading. The erected national flag displayed indicates the political stance and identity background of the office worker.

Lin Wangduan sat in the reception chair, looked at the person opposite who was flipping through the materials with a serious expression, and was fully prepared to speak at any time.

After a ten-day training camp and a three-day written test plus interview selection, the final result was finally released this morning.

Lin Wang passed the selection with the national No. 4 score in precision ability. This ranking can neither be considered bad nor good.A total of more than 6000 ability users participated in the selection, half of which were precision ability users. Ranking fourth among the 3000 people was considered a very good result.

Why can't it be considered good, because in the middle of the selection, Lin Wang suffered from nerve ending compression pain due to excessive mental energy consumption.

Fortunately, he had filed a record with the medical department in advance and injected the soothing agent in time. Lin Wang continued to participate in the assessment after a short rest.

Although it was a small fluctuation, it inevitably affected the final assessment and selection. Lin Wang's final result fell out of the usual comprehensive score expectations.

When I saw the results at that time, even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little regret and sadness, but more of it was the joy and excitement after passing.

No matter the ranking, it's fine if you pass it, and it's fine if you have a future.

As a result, as soon as Lin Wang came out, he couldn't hold back his desire to share with Jiang Xi, and immediately went to the person in charge to express his willingness to get the phone back, but the person in charge said that there were still related matters to be explained, and he could not communicate with the outside world for the time being. connect.

Lin Wang also knew the special nature of their assessment and selection, and expressed his understanding with a sense of loss, followed the instructions of the manager and gathered together with the companions who passed the selection assessment in the classroom where they usually do data modeling.

Not long after they sat down, someone came to call their names and called them away one by one.During the training camp, Lin Wang heard rumors that he would sign a non-disclosure agreement after passing the selection, and now it seems that the rumors are true.

I don't know in what order they called people, but by the time they called Lin Wang, he was already the last one.

Lin Wang entered the talking office under the leadership of the organizing staff with joy and anxiety.He originally thought he would be the team leader of a certain group, but he didn't expect to be the top leader in charge of the selection and assessment, Guo Liyun, the minister of the Ministry of National Security.

Lin Wang only met Guo Liyun once, during the mobilization meeting the night before the training camp.At that time, Guo Liyun revealed his identity as soon as he came to the stage, which made Lin Wang remember his appearance.

From the moment he entered the door, Lin Wang was in a dazed state, without a trace. He never thought that one day he would be able to get close to and meet such a powerful national leader. Meet at a distance.

I really feel like I have no regrets in this life.

Compared with Lin Wang's tense and erratic state, Guo Liyun, the leader of the Ministry of National Security who has experienced many battles, is obviously much more relaxed, but there is still a sense of calmness and prestige from his brows.

He closed the document, and when he looked up to say something, he saw Lin Wang's nervous expression, raised a gentle smile and said, "Don't be nervous."

"Okay." Lin Wang replied immediately.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you for passing the selection and proving your ability." Guo Liyun said, "And your grades are very good, both the written test and the interview rank are very high. People with abilities like you are exactly what we are looking for now." what is needed, what is sought.”

Lin Wang's eyes were beating with joy, and he was rubbing the corners of his clothes excitedly under the table, but he still tried his best to restrain himself and nodded slightly.

"However, as a member of Noah's Ark, you should be very clear about the current situation of capable people. No matter which country you are in, you are not ready to reveal your identities."

"In addition to the existence of Noah's Ark, the capital intervention and interest transactions of various countries in Noah's Ark, and the deployment of various countries out of consideration of the nature of national strategic security, all these factors have hindered ability users from being able to appear in front of the public. exposure."

"Although our country is not afraid of any country's capital confrontation and threat of force, and has cut off contact with Noah's Ark a long time ago, unfortunately, due to certain strategic considerations, we still cannot Your identities are revealed to the public."

"This also means that after you pass the assessment, if you choose to do things for the country, then your identity needs to be hidden, and your life may change accordingly."

"Now, you still have the last chance to choose. To join or not to join, the choice is in your hands."

In fact, what Guo Liyun said was thought of by Lin Wang a long time ago and he was mentally prepared. In the past few years, no, even in the future, the identity of a capable person will not have the opportunity to be revealed to the public for a long time.

Leaving aside the existence of national defense security and national secret department agencies, as long as the factor of Noah's Ark exists, the identity of the capable person must not be exposed.

Because the emergence of capable people will inevitably involve Noah's Ark, and once Noah's Ark appears in front of the public, the secrets of the governments of various countries that have done business with it will also be exposed. It's as simple as social turmoil.

Lin Wang didn't care about identity or not, he cared more about some potential problems mentioned in Guo Liyun's words very vaguely.

Lin Wang tightened his jaw, with a very serious expression on his face. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while and asked, "What is the specific situation of this identity hiding?"

Guo Liyun replied: "That's what we planned. For people with abilities at your age, we still arrange for you to go back to your original school to take the college entrance examination. They were extracted to the colleges and universities under the Ministry of State, and a class will be set up just for you in this college."

"In other words, our identities are still ordinary college students," Lin Wang replied, "at least that's what it shows on the information displayed to the public, right?"

"Yes," Guo Liyun nodded, "After that, there will be corresponding responsible persons for each stage of your life trajectory to make plans for you, so as to fit in with the ordinary life of the public."

Speaking of this, Guo Liyun didn't know what to think of, and immediately added: "Although it is written like this in the information, the reality is definitely different. After six years of study in a special college, the country will arrange corresponding jobs and jobs for you. The residence and the quality of life must be guaranteed, so you can rest assured."

Hearing his hurried explanation, Lin Wang immediately understood what he wanted to express, loosened his tense muscles, and said with a smile: "I don't have too high requirements in this regard, I have a fixed, warm residence."

"Of course," Guo Liyun replied, "If you live well and well, you will have the energy to work. We can't do exploitative capitalism."

The appropriate joke made Lin Wang slightly relieved, and he was not as tense as before. He licked his lips and continued to ask: "Then can my family know about this dual identity?"

Guo Liyun gave a long hum, and asked after a short thought: "Are you an adult?"

"I'm an adult." Lin Wang replied.

"For minors, you can only tell the legal guardian," Guo Liyun said, "and for adults, it is limited to the legal guardian before the minor and the spouse after reaching the age of marriage."

Listening to Guo Liyun's words, Lin Wang thought to himself that he really deserved to be a high-level leader, and that every word he used was appropriate.Parents are not used but guardians, taking into account the different family situations of each person.

But this spouse... Lin Wang was a little uncertain, he pursed his lips and asked, "Does this spouse include lovers of the same sex?"

Guo Liyun didn't seem too surprised by Lin Wang's question, he moved a little closer and replied, "Our country's definition of a spouse is that a man and a woman in a legal marriage are each other's spouses, so I'm sorry that it doesn't include it."

Before Lin Wang was disappointed for a second, he changed his words and said: "However, we have also considered this issue. The solution to this is that you can submit an application for guardianship. This application is approved. If so, we can also treat your companions as spouses in the legal sense."

Lin Wang felt that this conversation was like a roller coaster, falling to the bottom for a while, and then rising to the top when he was caught off guard.

In China's environment, Lin Wang doesn't expect same-sex marriage to be legal. He only needs legal protection between the two parties, especially when they are old and can sign and make decisions for each other.

While heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Wang thought over his words carefully, and asked carefully about the uncertainties: "What does it mean to treat them as legal spouses?"

"Just like other people's spouses, he will be protected by government agencies and enjoy some preferential treatment." Guo Liyun said, "But at the same time, he also wants to be like other people's spouses. After our inspection and review, after confirming that there is no problem Your application will be approved, and we will file him."

Lin Wang frowned, he didn't expect it to be so complicated: "What content do you want to check and review?"

"Identity, background, political stance and thoughts, etc., are the same as the military's marriage review process." Guo Liyun replied.

"Soldier?" Lin Wang's eyes suddenly burst into light, and he leaned forward excitedly and asked, "Then will our marriage relationship be protected like soldiers?"

Guo Liyun knew what he meant, and couldn't hold back his snort, then coughed a few times and replied: "Now only soldiers in our country have that kind of marriage protection."

The implication is no.

In fact, after asking, Lin Wang knew that the possibility of getting a negative answer was very high, but he still felt a little regretful after hearing it.

But he also understands that this is already the best result, at least it is basically recognized, and there will be no mistakes in writing Jiang Xi's name on real estate in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Wang felt very satisfied. He smiled and asked the question that cared most in his heart: "After I join, can I still marry my lover abroad?"

"Of course, we have no restrictions on this." Guo Liyun replied immediately, then suddenly remembered something, and then added, "But this is not recognized in our country, you know."

Lin Wang nodded: "I know."

Whether you recognize it or not, as long as there is something that can symbolize their marriage relationship, Lin Wang doesn't have too high requirements.

Guo Liyun also knew the difficulties of homosexuality in the domestic environment. Seeing Lin Wang making plans so early, he knew that he must have identified the person, and thinking about the things not long ago, he only felt that it was difficult.

But he still maintained his composure on the face, acted according to the plan, and asked, "Well...do I need to give a few more examples?"

"Need." Lin Wang immediately replied, it is better to be more cautious about this matter and ask more clearly.

Guo Liyun didn't feel bothered, and immediately gave Lin Wang several examples and answered his questions patiently and meticulously.

Although Lin Wang had already understood the situation through the conversation, his cautious nature made him carefully read the agreement three times before signing the non-disclosure agreement, and finally signed it after confirming that there was really no problem.

After receiving the signed agreement, Guo Liyun carefully put it into the bottom cabinet, locked it and locked it.Then he stood up and straightened his suit, bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to Lin Wang and said, "You are welcome to join."

Lin Wang has watched this scene countless times in TV dramas. He used to think it was clichéd, but now he only thinks it is solemn and sacred.He immediately became serious, bowed slightly lower than Guo Liyun, and held his hand.

Both of them grasped the right time to shake hands, and let go after a few seconds.

Lin Wang knew that he had now officially joined a special department under the management of the Ministry of State. He tried hard to keep calm and look more mature and stable, but this news was really exciting.

He raised the corner of his mouth uncontrollably, eager to share this joy with Jiang Xi, bowed to Guo Liyun again and said: "There should be nothing else, then I will..."

"Wait," Guo Liyun interrupted him, wiping away the unnaturalness in his eyes, "You can't leave yet."

"Why? Is there anything else?" Lin Wang asked suspiciously.

This is not all talk, the agreement has been signed, there should be nothing else.He saw that the people who went there also left after talking and never came back.

"Yes... there is indeed something else." Guo Liyun coughed a few times as he covered his mouth with his fist.

Just as Lin Wang opened his mouth to ask what was going on, he saw the brown-red wooden door behind Guo Liyun being opened, and Mr. Yu and Alps came out from inside, followed by two people Lin Wang didn't know.

It looked like he had been waiting here for a long time, and he was still waiting for this moment.

This kind of awareness made Lin Wang immediately alert, tensed his muscles, and asked with a slight frown, "What does this mean?"

"Don't be nervous," Mr. Yu gave him a disapproving look, walked over to hold Lin Wang's hand, and introduced to Alps and the others, "You are very familiar with Alps, so I won't introduce more. "

After speaking, he made an introduction gesture to the man in the army green uniform, and said to Lin Wang, "This is the Minister of National Defense, Peng Jiaming."

Immediately afterwards, he turned slightly to the man in the black collar jacket behind Peng Jiaming and made an introduction gesture: "This is the captain of the 'Wild Wolf' team, Xiong Ran."

Hearing the identities of these two people, Lin Wang was in awe, and greeted them with a serious expression.But then he became suspicious again, his identity had nothing to do with these people, why would Mr. Yu bring them here?

Lin Wang turned his head to meet Alps' gaze, wanting him to give him some hints, but as soon as he met Alps, he staggered away in a panic, leaving Lin Wang with a pale and bloodless profile.

It was also at this time that Lin Wang realized that Alps was exuding a decadent and decadent atmosphere, with his left hand hanging from his splint on his chest, and a corner of the blue and white striped hospital gown faintly showing from the edge of the stand-up collar of the long red padded jacket.

Lin Wang wrinkled his eyebrows worriedly, and was about to go forward to inquire but was stopped by someone.

"Hi Lin Wang, I'm Peng Jiaming, Minister of National Defense." Peng Jiaming took a few steps forward, standing between Lin Wang and Alps.

Lin Wang immediately withdrew his gaze and responded, "Hello."

Peng Jiaming waved his hand back to signal Xiong Ran to come forward, and said to Lin Wang with a sincere and serious expression: "Don't worry, the country will definitely guarantee your personal safety, and we have sent people over to your family. Safety."

"This is the captain of the wolf team. He has more than ten years of experience in dealing with mercenary incidents. You can rest assured."

"Hello, I'm Xiong Ran from the Wolf Team," Xiong Ran stepped forward, staring at Lin Wang, and said solemnly, "I will be in charge of your security from now on."

This scene directly confused Lin Wang, he opened his mouth uncontrollably, stared blankly at the people standing in front of him, and couldn't even utter the simplest syllable.

And everyone seemed to have anticipated this situation in advance, and stood silently waiting for Lin Wang to buffer himself.

After a while, Lin Wang regained his thoughts a little bit. He couldn't understand the direction of the matter, but fear suddenly rose in his heart, and he asked tremblingly, "What...what's going on here?"

What mercenaries?What guarantees personal safety?These plots that only happen in movies, TV dramas and novels, how could it happen to me?

Also, did they make a mistake, since they didn't steal any secrets, and they didn't steal any valuable jewelry or precision weapons, how could they get into trouble with mercenaries?

Lin Wang's mind was in a mess now, and he was a little dazed even looking at the scene in front of him.

Hearing his question, both Peng Jiaming and Xiong Ran turned their eyes to Mr. Yu, as if they were asking if he knew.

Old Yu settled down, tried his best to maintain his composure and said, "Let's sit down first, and I'll talk to you."

"No," Lin Wang threw off his hand in a panic, and asked with shortness of breath, "What's going on here? How about mercenaries and personal safety?"

"Lin Wang, I..."

"Why are you still making such detours? It hasn't been long enough to hide from him!" Alps, who had been standing by the side without speaking, suddenly said, with anger and complaint in his tone.

"Alps, don't you..."

"Then what's the matter, what are you going to tell him!" Alps angrily stepped forward and interrupted Mr. Yu, turned his head to look at Lin Wang, but the moment he met Lin Wang's gaze, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Looking at the emotions in Alps' eyes, there are guilt, apology...and compassion.

A bad premonition rose in Lin Wang's heart.

Alps closed his eyes, unwilling to just face Lin Wang like this, rolled his Adam's apple, and announced the cruel fact with difficulty: "Jiang Xi was taken away by An Sheng."

1. The national political issues and national legal issues included in this chapter are written after I checked a lot of information. I don’t have a deep experience. If there are mistakes, please point them out gently.

2. I would like to emphasize here that my patriotic stance is firm and I have no intention of criticizing our country.

3. Regarding the setting of Noah's Ark, you should be able to see the general idea, so it will involve the governments of many countries in the world, especially some capitalist countries, but everyone must understand that this is just a novel, a novel.Although there are some personal experiences of my own, they are not exactly the same.

(The main reason is that I recently saw a favorite Yuan Danda who was criticized for writing something similar to it. I wanted to change it, but it would be a mess if I changed the plot, so in the end I wrote it as originally planned, but also I still have to say something.)

4. Because I started to take medicine recently, I was very lethargic. The manuscripts of the last few days were reviewed a few days ago and then sent out regularly.I am more energetic today and then read the article. I found that I didn’t explain the Ethernet language in the previous chapter in detail, so I will explain it here.

I originally decided not to use this language, but when I was writing the following content, I asked Ms. An for the translation of a sentence, and she knew the language I wanted to write in. She advised me not to write it, because that language could easily cause controversy. I was sprayed (involving many factors, such as religion and politics) and because some characters cannot be typed on the typing software, so according to the following plot (I don’t know if I will write that sentence , but let me explain), I chose a man-made language I saw on Zhihu when I was playing with coinage before, which is the etheric language written here.

Ether language is one of the coinages of Zhihu user Wozki Hu Shuode, and it is a man-made artistic language.

It is emphasized here that the setting of Ethereum in this article is a fiction (mainly including the origin background, development and continuation, etc.).

The reasons why I choose this language are: First, it is related to the development of the plot later in this article.Second, the pronunciation and rhythm of this self-made language that combines French, Romanco, and what I think is a little English is beautiful, so I quote it here.

I want to emphasize: after learning the characteristics of this language, syllable rhythm, pronunciation rules and other language foundations, I simply feel that this man-made language is very interesting to me. I just simply like this language and do not rise to other aspects.

Also, this language is not made by me!I didn't make it!Just quotes (Although I have learned a few languages, I have not yet reached the level where I can make my own words.)
