merit book

The rain has stopped, the breeze blows gently, and water drops roll from the emerald green leaves from time to time.A black swallow flits across the calm lake, leaving a string of thin ripples.

Rong Yuan has been gone for a long time, but Jin Nan is still sitting in the gazebo, closing his eyes, and recalling the whole process of the meeting in his mind two or three times, no matter how subtle the movements and changes in expression are, he can remember clearly Chu, then make a step-by-step plan for the things to be done in the future, and after repeated consideration, there is no omission, and then get up and leave.

He walked out of the gazebo, crossed the wooden bridge, passed the corridor formed by the wisteria trees, walked out of the park at a constant pace, and got into a black car.The driver of the car was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep. When he heard the sound, he glanced at him in the rearview mirror. Seeing that Jin Nan lowered his eyes as if he had no more instructions, he started the car directly.

Jin Nan, who was sitting in the back seat, always had an unhealthy expression. His body was thin and weak, and he looked a little fragile when he lowered his head, but the power contained in it was beyond anyone's imagination.He has made many achievements, but it is only kept secret so that he is not known.In the eyes of insiders, he is the strongest fighter and the best soldier in Sugar Country, but to Jin Nan, these titles are not important, and everything he does is just following his heart.

Including this time, he made every effort to negotiate with the crow leader, and insisted on not disclosing the true identity of the "head" to anyone.What he said to the public was that the person was very cautious and did not meet him with his true face; but the real reason was to prevent some idiots who stole high positions and thought they could control everything after the secret was leaked from ruining the peaceful situation he had so hard to build .

The car was parked under an unremarkable residential building. There was no parking lot here, so it could only be parked in the open-air parking space in front of the green belt of the community.He walked into the small building, closed the door, then turned on the voice-activated switch of the corridor light, and pressed his hand on the blank wall. Glides on lightly and silently.

Inside the door, it was like another world.The walls of the entire floor were pierced, and there were various instruments and documents. Five or six people were busy inside. When they heard the movement, they all turned their heads and looked over. When they saw Jin Nan, they all gathered around, "Boss, you are back", "Boss is all right?" Waiting to say hello to him, someone took his coat, someone brought him a cup of hot coffee, they didn't do these things because of any rules or want to curry favor with him, it was purely their own Just want to do it.

After a while, Jin Nan was already sitting on the comfortable and spacious sofa in a casual posture, with coffee in his hand and snacks beside him. No matter what the people in the room were doing, they were all around him now, some sitting On the sofas on both sides, some moved a stool, some leaned against the back of the chair or the wall, all looked at him eagerly.

"Boss, is the negotiation going well?" the small-eyed Mai Dong couldn't help it first, and asked anxiously.

Jin Nan didn't mean to be tricky either, he nodded and said, "Well, he agreed."

"That's good." Poshi heaved a sigh of relief.He has a round face with thick eyebrows, short crew cut, dark skin, a pair of big piercing eyes, and a strong and burly figure. Sitting there also gives people a mountain-like feeling.He paused for a while, and then said, "This time, there are objections to your proposal. If it is rejected again, it will be difficult for us."

……

Jin Nan's proposal was not approved by everyone even among his own people at the beginning.He first convinced his classmates, then his father and grandfather, and then asked his superiors for instructions. After many twists and turns, he finally got the current result.

The agreement reached between him and Rong Yuan is that the crows can be kept, but from now on, sanctioning crimes will be the main work of government departments of various countries, and the crows will act as supervisors and assistants in the operation.In this way, first of all, the prestige and power of the government can be maintained, and the trust of the people can be restored, so that it will not be destroyed by the activity of crows; secondly, in case the security departments of various countries do not perform their functions well, the existence of crows is a deterrent Furthermore, in government-led campaigns against crime, pre-investigation, evacuation of people, maintenance of order, aftermath treatment, sentencing and punishment can all be taken into account, unlike crows that often need to use unscrupulous means in a battle of few against many. With victory, the situation can easily get out of control, and the punishment is often too heavy or affects the innocent.

The conditions offered to Crow are: All members of Crow (the Sugar Country government has already mastered most of the list), all past criminal records can be written off, and there are no restrictions on visiting relatives, going to school, traveling and looking for jobs in the future, even if they want to take the civil service exam It is also possible, but in the future, there will be no more violations of laws and disciplines; injured or disabled people are guaranteed to receive the best treatment and the most appropriate care. If they are willing to join the government department, even if they are not good enough, they can serve as some special forces Excellent coaches, all treatments are in accordance with the best standards.These are the most important two, and there are other trivial conditions, such as the favorable conditions in terms of housing, medical care, wages, and welfare benefits for crow members who are willing to expose their identities; It can give the greatest range of freedom and has a certain degree of immunity, such as running a red light when chasing criminals or something, as long as it does not cause harm, the incident can be eliminated; when you are active abroad, you can also get the asylum of Sugar Country, In case of any situation, you can ask the embassy for help and so on.

In other words, the crow is required to transfer the target and evidence to the local government in future actions, and let them come forward.In case the government can't solve it or try to cover it, this is when the crows need to play. Other than requiring them not to kill and set fire at will, there are basically no restrictions.As long as this can be achieved, the existence of the crows will be officially permitted by the Sugar Country government. Apart from various favorable conditions, the most important thing is that there is a chance for them to walk in the sun again.

This opportunity is more precious for those crows who want to regain a normal life and can care about their families with dignity. When you go shopping and eat casually.

So Rong Yuan agreed.

But there is one thing that Jin Nan didn't say, and Rong Yuan also understands—no matter how much freedom the crow is given in this agreement, no matter how loose the conditions are, when they accept this agreement, they will no longer be the same as before except Rong Yuan. The unrestrained and lawless dark sanctioners, but the special police within the system, must follow certain rules and accept appropriate control.

Even so, for the sugar country, it is almost impossible to accept the existence of vigilantes in this semi-free state.The reasons for this change include Jin Nan's hard work, the Jin family's status, contribution and connections, and the current turbulent world situation.In any case, it is very difficult to facilitate this matter, and the result may not be satisfactory.

As for the future, will the black chess be swallowed up by the huge, vortex-like system in the end; or they will disturb the calm lake water like catfish, so that the country will change for this; or they will eventually subtly replace the bloated bureaucratic system in the past, To become a special, independent and free existence, various possibilities cannot be determined, and Rong Yuan has already let go.

Ever since he saved Bhikkhu, Rong Yuan's merit has become an astronomical figure. Although there is no way to see the change of merit after returning to Earth, marshmallows, laboratory vaccines, Skynet helpers, etc. All made Rong Yuan's merits increase. In comparison, although the merits brought by black chess are considerable, there are also a lot of troubles, just like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.Considering that in the future, if black chess develops into an irreplaceable existence and then suddenly loses control or collapses, then Rong Yuan will also be dragged down due to joint and several liability reasons-people's hearts are always complicated and changeable, he does not think that there is any promise Ya's monitoring will be foolproof.So rationally speaking, it is best to let go now.

But black chess—or crow, is special to him, and it is also special to this world, so he negotiated with Jin Nan in the name of the leader behind the scenes, and he will let Noah continue to assist them, and he will also In the future, when one of the black pieces is in danger, lend a helping hand, but nothing more.

……

"It's not over after it's settled." The girl with a gentle personality and good medical skills, Licorice, frowned and said, "Boss has taken care of this matter, and I have to take care of it from now on. It won't be easy.

Everyone nodded.They all have strong confidence in Jin Nan, and believe that he will be able to solve the problem, but in the future, how the crow will contact the government, how to cooperate, how to determine the relationship between ownership and responsibility, how to resolve differences after they arise, etc., are the key points. , but it is impossible for Jin Nan to completely let go of him.There are ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn the scriptures, and this is only the first difficulty.

So people like Mai Dong didn't understand why Jin Nan had to do it himself.This kind of work is a hard job with half the effort and no rewards. If it is not done well, it will become a mouse in the bellows, and it is too late for most people to push it.

However, they both trust and love Jin Nan, so even if they disagree, they will continue to implement it without compromise.

Everyone discussed the future issues for a while, roughly came up with a charter, and took the initiative to share various tasks. They didn't stop when they were eating, and they didn't go back to their rooms to rest under Jin Nan's order until midnight.

It wasn't until everything was quiet that Jin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, took out a white envelope from the drawer in his room, looked at it, and then set it on fire.

— This is his suicide note.

No one knew that when Jin Nan went to see Rong Yuan today, he was prepared for "maybe he might die or he might die".

He didn't disclose Rong Yuan's identity to the outside world, and he didn't explain to anyone the relationship between the leader behind the crow and the aliens or the pilots in the humanoid mechs.Because the seemingly omnipresent monitoring ability mastered by Rong Yuan made him wary, he was worried that if he said something, it might bring disaster to the people around him.

What Rong Yuan will do after discovering that the secret has been leaked is completely in his mind.Killing people to keep their identities secret is just one of the countless possibilities.Based on Jin Nan's understanding of Rong Yuan, he is not a person who cherishes human life, and once he makes a decision, he will act without hesitation.For Jin Yang's sake, Jin Nan felt that maybe he would not die, but the secret behind Rong Yuan was as unfathomable as an iceberg hidden under the sea, and there might be other means.

For example, the laboratory, the lifelike double that no one can see the flaws.

Fortunately, the worst may not happen, and everything is moving in a good direction.

He can't let others know or do this, because he knows that a person like Rong Yuan who has mastered the power beyond the planet may be pushed to the opposite side if he is careless, and it is absolutely impossible to treat him in the same way as ordinary people It's not feasible, unfortunately, most people with a certain status don't know what it means to communicate with "common people".

He can't ignore it and let it develop freely, because he has seen the crisis of human beings, and he has also seen the huge hidden power in Rong Yuan.Aliens are already so close to the earth, and it will take many years to deal with such a crisis according to the normal speed of technological development of human beings.There are only two possibilities for rapid development: one is that human beings are reborn from the ashes of war, after all, war is the best catalyst for technology; .

Mechas, doubles, some kind of monitoring program... He believes that what he sees is only the tip of the iceberg. However, coercion, threats, temptations, deception... Playing with these methods is foolish in the face of absolute power, and the only end is his own. take perish.

So he used the crow as an introduction to imply that Rong Yuan already knew him very well, tested Rong Yuan's attitude, observed his character, and paved the way for future contacts.

The suicide note was burned and turned into a small pile of black wreckage, which crumbled when twisted.There was a special smell of burning paper in the air, and the light was turned off with a "snap".

In the dark, Jin Nan wiped his fingers, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, covering the bottomless emotions in his eyes.
