i can hear your voice

A few days later, Xie Weiming returned to Jingcheng from the northwest border. His old subordinates didn't realize that he no longer had black crystals in his body, because everyone was taking crystal marrow inhibitors now.

Sitting in the office, Xie Weiming called Shi Yu and asked with a smile, "Are you busy now?"

"You have something to say."

"I want to ask if you can help Xiao Pan take out the crystal essence?"

"Your little secretary? No way."

"..." Xie Weiming didn't expect to be rejected directly, he reacted quickly and said "forget it", and then changed the topic, but after the call was over, it was inevitable that he lost interest.

During the lunch break, Xie Weiming went to the hospital to visit Pan Liqing—in fact, except for her arm, Pan Liqing's other injuries were almost healed, but she was not allowed to leave the hospital because of the crystal essence.

"Shameless! You beat him up!"

When Xie Weiming arrived, Pan Liqing was lying on the bed watching TV, and the news was broadcast on it. The Dongzhou government was talking about the war, saying that Zhongzhou started the war first, destroyed their fleet and aircraft carrier, and killed them all. There are many soldiers, but they will not give in, they will fight to the ground and defeat Zhongzhou...

Xie Weiming entered the door and coughed.

Pan Liqing looked at him and got up in a panic: "Deputy Minister..."

"Lie down." Xie Weiming said, "I'm passing by to see you, and I'll leave right away."

"... Oh." Pan Liqing was a little nervous, unconsciously pulling the clothes on her body with her uninjured hand.

"Do you know Mr. Jin?" Xie Weiming asked.

Pan Liqing shook her head again and again: "I don't know, I don't know when he 'implanted' the crystal essence... I really haven't used the crystal essence myself!"

Xie Weiming nodded, and said gently: "It's okay, I believe in you."

Pan Liqing was very moved, her eyes were shining with moisture: "...Thank you. I am very glad that I chose to come to you after I came to this era."

Xie Weiming smiled: "Okay, I'm also very glad that you chose me. I have to go, you should rest and watch less international news."

After leaving the hospital and returning to the office, Xie Weiming called Shi Yu again.

"I want to tell you about Xiao Pan again. Do you believe that someone can travel back from the future?"

Shi Yu said: "I believe. Let's meet and talk. Where are you now? Office?"

"Correct."

"What time do you go home? I'll go to your house to find you."

Xie Weiming got off work an hour early and was going back to tidy up the house.

He opened the door and entered the house, only to find that there was someone in the house... He immediately prepared his supernatural powers, ready to hit the string——

"Don't be nervous, it's me." Shi Yu's voice.

Shi Yu was sitting on the sofa diagonally facing the door, and another person was sitting on a side sofa next to him.

Xie Weiming, who was fixed at the door, moved again, closed the door, and said, "I've come back early, I didn't expect you to be ahead of me." He didn't ask how Shi Yu came in, but just walked towards the sofa with a smile Over there, and then I was surprised to see that the person on the other sofa was an acquaintance, "...Mr. Jin?"

Then he found that Mr. Jin's state was not right, as if he was in a coma.

"It's just a body, just like the time I was in a vegetable state before, it's just a body." Shi Yu said, "I know that Xiao Pan came from the future, because I brought her back."

"..." Xie Weiming frowned and looked at Shi Yu suspiciously.

"It's not a coincidence that she happened to travel near you. I put her there." Shi Yu traveled upstream along time and space, and put Pan Liqing down halfway, then he walked further upstream without stopping. "I wanted to see if you could do something more satisfying if you knew certain information in advance."

Xie Weiming was silent for a moment and said: "I don't understand what you mean, can you start from the beginning?"

Shi Yu: "Let's start with the fact that crystal essence and star iron can awaken intelligent life. I am a star iron life form... I can possess a human body. Now this body is made of carefully selected genes. Man-made... In this day and age, you are one of the human beings that impresses me...

"Until a long time later, human beings have become extinct, and the crystal essence is about to become extinct. I found that I still remember you... I learned to travel through time and space. Xiao Pan was picked by me on the way back. It is a gift for you. But the crystal essence in her body has nothing to do with me, I think it's because you not only attracted my attention, but also attracted the attention of Mr. Jin, so he also came to take special care of you."

"..." Xie Weiming rubbed his eyebrows with his knuckles, the slight pain reminded him that this was reality, not a dream. "You are a star iron life form, Mr. Jin—the original Mr. Jin was a life form of crystal essence. You have no direct interest relationship with human beings, so you have no malice towards human beings. Mr. Jin regards human beings as the best host for crystal essence. , So, he came back to improve the method of breeding humans?"

Shi Yu said, "Probably."

"I used to think he was a human being, so I couldn't understand his behavior, but now I can understand." Xie Weiming said, "But, his current strategy is wrong, right? To keep the crystal essence alive, you have to control the crystal essence. If it spreads like a cancer, then he should support the Zhongzhou Forbidden Crystal Essence."

"He probably thinks that you guys will banish the crystal essence."

"No, human beings have not completely banned drugs." However, Xie Weiming also knows that if he resolutely bans the crystal essence, it is still possible to ban it, because the crystal essence is not a poison, but a living thing, and humans are still very good at exterminating other creatures .

Shi Yu said: "Then I will take out the crystal essence for Xiao Pan when you are sure that you want to ban the crystal essence."

"...Well." Xie Weiming looked at him and said, "I know you are different from ordinary people. I thought it was your personality, but I never thought that you are not human."

"Do you still don't believe it now? I'll let you see for yourself." Shi Yu said as he collapsed on the sofa like a power-off robot, and then Mr. Jin next to him opened his eyes and propped up his slumped body on the sofa , sat up straight, looked at Xie Weiming, "Aren't you intimidated? It's normal to be intimidated, probably only Xiao Yan can accept this kind of thing calmly."

Xie Weiming was silent for a moment, and complained, "You son of a bitch." After he finished speaking, he realized that Shi Yu was not Shi Yan's brother at all, he wasn't even human. "I thought you couldn't educate children before, but you really can't. Fortunately, Shiyan wasn't raised by you."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "He has a good foundation, so it's more difficult to raise crooked ones."

After the matter was clarified, Shi Yu bid farewell to Xie Weiming. He used Mr. Jin's body to walk to his own, helped him up, and then disappeared into the space.

Xie Weiming stared blankly at the place where he disappeared. A few hours ago, he thought about staying with Shiyu for dinner, but now...

The next day, Xie Weiming went to an important meeting.

The participants are all people who have important influence on Zhongzhou at this stage. Everyone is distributed in various parts of Zhongzhou, and they gather together for meetings through video.

Ruo Pu and Shi Yan are also online, but they are not in the same place. Ruo Pu is in Yucheng at the moment, and Shi Yan is still on the northern border.

Xie Weiming looked at Shi Yan, wondering what he thought of his brother being a non-human intelligent life form.

Ruo Pu was also looking at Shi Yan, and the two looked at each other across the screen while listening to everyone's speech.

The person who is speaking at the moment is the host of the meeting: "Everyone, we in Zhongzhou are now facing an unprecedented crisis..." He spent a quarter of an hour summarizing the current situation to everyone.

A general said: "I think the most dangerous moment - the time when the latent crystal essence explodes in the army is the most dangerous, but we have already survived, as long as we last for a while, We can get through this crisis." Then he specifically named Ruo Pu, "Major General Ruo, right?"

This admiral is the highest officer of the Central Plains Military Region. At present, the Central Plains Military Region has not officially joined the battlefield, but when the latent crystal essence broke out, it suffered some losses. Later, Ruo Pu went to help them investigate the latent crystal essence carrier. The general appreciates Ruo Pu because of this.

"I don't know, but I hope everything will develop in a good direction." Ruo Pu said, "At present, Dongzhou will send troops again. I think the coastal defense line needs to be adjusted."

Xie Weiming said: "Now the coastal defense line is divided into several sections, should it be deployed in a unified manner? Under the unified command of a general commander?"

There are not many suitable candidates. The coastal defense line is guarded by the Yucheng Military Region and the Yundong Military Region. Naturally, the commander-in-chief has to be selected from these two military regions. However, because the Yundong Military Region did not perform well in the last defense battle, they After being ruled out, it was the turn of Fang Chengrong, the supreme officer of the Yucheng Military Region.

But Fang Chengrong said: "I am not used to the war in the era of supernatural powers. I recommend Major General Ruo as the commander-in-chief during the war. He is outstanding both in supernatural powers and commanding abilities. His achievements are obvious to all. I believe him. Can lead our military to more victories."

No one objected, so it was decided later. Ruo Pu did not shirk this responsibility, but he felt that the real battlefield was not on the border——the center of this war was the crystal essence life body, that is, "his sister". Where is the real battlefield.

Three days later, the Dongzhou Fleet approached the Zhongzhou territorial waters and merged with the Southern Fleet. The war on the Eastern Front was about to break out again.

Ruo Pu commanded the navy and the offshore army to take their positions, and adjusted the defense line to the best state.

He himself chose to join the front line, and if given the chance, he would like to get rid of the new aircraft carrier in Dongzhou as well.

Just when the war was about to break out, there was a news in the southern border that their commander again wore women's clothes for some reason, and then an evil wind blew up inexplicably on the Internet in Zhongzhou, and suddenly many Su Lin and Ruo Pu long It is very similar to the statement that they are actually blood-related immediate relatives, and some people have begun to discuss whether if Pu is really close to the enemy leader, whether he is still suitable to be the commander-in-chief in wartime...

Ruo Pu called Le Youyuan and asked him to help him investigate what was going on, whether it was the netizens playing it wrong, or someone was maliciously provoking it.

After the investigation, Le Youyuan replied to him: "Someone hired a navy, and finally found out a bank account of Moon Pearl Island. The owner of the account should not be the person behind the scenes."

Ruopu: "I see, thank you."

Since someone did it on purpose, it should be "his sister". If he can be dismissed through public opinion, then half of the next battle will be won by the opponent.

"Do you want me to help you ban those comments on the Internet?" Le Youyuan asked.

"Need not."

"It's really not necessary? It may become more and more fermented."

"The other party is coming at me. It's useless to avoid it. We have to think of other ways."

Later, Ruo Pu contacted Shi Yan: "I have an idea..."

After he finished speaking, Shi Yan said: "I think I can give it a try. I'll go to Mingqing, and you can talk to him again." Song Mingqing was needed for Ruopu's plan.

"Okay."

After agreeing with Song Mingqing, Ruo Pu went to meet Li Xi and told him that he had to leave for a while, and if the enemy attacked while he was away, he would have to rely on him until he came back.

Ruo Pu arrived at Longgang earlier than Song Mingqing, and after returning home, while having dinner, Ruo Pu said to his family members: "Tomorrow a friend of mine will come over to play."

Chen Yuyan said, "Then I will buy more vegetables tomorrow."

After dinner, Ruo Pu returned to his room. After a while, his father knocked on the door. After entering the room, he asked him, "How long do you plan to stay at home?"

Now the people of Zhongzhou know that Zhongzhou is in crisis of war, and the news says that the fleets of Dongzhou and Southern Border are parked at the door of Zhongzhou, so it is very inappropriate for Ruo Pu to go home at this time as a wartime commander.

"Stay for a few days." Ruo Pu said.

"Is it?" Ruo Zhenghui asked hesitantly, "Is your sister affecting your work? I read news on the Internet that..."

He knew that Ruo Chu's current identity was from the Southern Territory, and he had become the Grand Commander of the Southern Territory. is very possible.

Without waiting for Ruo Pu to answer, Ruo Zhenghui stopped talking, and then said abruptly: "I think the war probably has nothing to do with your sister."

"What?" Ruopu looked at his father, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"I mean that the war is a matter for the government. It is decided by many people. It is not a single person who has the final say. You can't blame your sister for the war between the southern border and the central state, right?" Ruo Zhenghui tried to hypnotize himself.

"No, it's related." Ruo Pu said, "She should be the one who released the comments on the Internet that suspected that Su Lin and I were related, but she didn't do it on purpose, she was just influenced by the crystal essence."

"Crystal essence, is your sister parasitized by crystal essence?"

"Yes."

"...Then what should we do?"

"I can take out the crystal essence, but I have to see her first." Ruopu said, "I hope she can go home."

Ruo Zhenghui sighed: "But she won't come back."

"Go back, if Dad pretends to be hospitalized and you are seriously ill, my sister should come back." Ruo Pu said.

"Are you asking me to pretend to be sick?"

"Yes, you, your grandparents, or my mother are all fine." Ruo Pu said, "It was because of my dismissal that I got a sudden illness, and after being sent to the hospital, a more serious illness was discovered."

"Are you really fired?!"

"No, you thought I was dismissed."

"..." Ruo Zhenghui was silent for a while, "Let me do it, don't tell your mother and them."

"Okay. For the sake of confidentiality and authenticity, it's best not to tell them." Seeing that his father agreed so quickly, Ruo Pu heaved a sigh of relief. If his father disagreed, then he would have to ask Song Mingqing to persuade his father.

"It's just to persuade your sister to take out the crystal essence, not to arrest her, right?" Ruo Zhenghui confirmed to his son.

"Yes, just take out the crystal essence."

Ruo Pu thought earlier that his sister would go back to Longgang for the sake of his family, so he thought about letting his father or someone else in the family pretend to be sick to lure his sister back. It caused his sister's emotional fluctuations, just like what his sister did when she passed by Yuncheng. As long as her emotions are affected, she may rush to the door...

However, no matter whether you are pretending to be sick or creating an accident, you need timing. If you don't have the right timing, you will look too eager, and if you are in a hurry, you will appear fake. But now there is a ready-made reasonable excuse, so naturally you have to seize it quickly.

After the father and son finished talking, Ruo Zhenghui didn't stay in Ruo Pu's room, and left soon. Ruo Pu heard him walking towards the balcony, followed by the sound of a lighter, as if he went to the balcony to smoke.

Ruo Zhenghui became "ill" that night and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

In the middle of the night, Pei Yannian rushed back to Longgang from the Rain and Mist Forest Research Institute.He and Ruo Pu met in the corridor of the hospital, Ruo Pu thanked him, he waved his hand, and walked quickly into the ward.

The next morning, Song Mingqing arrived, and Ruo Pu arranged him in another ward not far from his father's ward, and asked him to observe the brains of people entering and leaving the hospital to see if his sister or his sister appeared among them. sent people.

Then Ruo Pu contacted Le Youyuan and asked him to help publish real gossip news on the Internet, saying that he quietly returned to Longgang from the front line on the eve of the war because his father was seriously ill.

And then let people find out the process of his father's illness. He was mad by the rumors on the Internet, and was found to be terminally ill after being sent to the doctor...

Le Youyuan: Is this an empty city plan?Deliberately tell the enemy that you have left the front line to make the enemy suspicious, but dare not launch an attack at this time?

Ruo Pu replied to him: It would be the best to achieve this effect by the way.

Next, Ruo Pu and his family stayed with his father in the ward. His mother, his grandparents didn't know that Ruo Zhenghui was not really ill, so they were all lost.

In the evening, Ruo Pu asked his mother to go home, and he stayed in the hospital with him.

Sitting on the small bed, he turned on his laptop, clicked on a program icon, and the floor plan of the virtual city of Longgang appeared on the screen. Ruopu moved the map and checked the ordinary surveillance network and the supernatural surveillance network. These two webs were like fine spider webs. He also firmly captured the prey of Longgang, monitoring its movements without relaxing for a moment.

Ruopu's computer has limited memory, so he can only see a simple planar map and cannot load more detailed data. However, Lao Bai and Mao Mao live in this virtual city, so Ruopu can just ask them for any data he wants to know.

Ruopu asked: "Old Bai, did any suspicious people appear near my house and the hospital today?"

The computer responded: "So far, nothing has been found - no abnormal power fluctuations, and no unknown persons."

"OK, thanks."
