glory [rebirth]

Mu Qingtong never expected that Damian would suddenly ask this question. The latter's expression was completely gone from his previous frivolity, and he frowned slightly, staring at him covetously.Unprepared, Mu Qingtong panicked.

But now that the window is open, the bug will record all their voices. Damian asks the question so bluntly, is it because he doesn't know about the bug?

He glanced at the window sill again, but Damian didn't move his gaze along with him.

Mu Qingtong did the repetitive motion again calmly, but this time Damian just turned his body slightly, glanced at it and then looked back, with a puzzled expression on his face.

His probing was useless, but now he ruled out most of Damian's suspicions.

So now the target is only Lyle.

The problem he urgently needs to solve now is how to deal with Damian, and the bug on the window sill. He must ensure that the real information will not be leaked under the premise that Damian trusts him...

The two were at a stalemate, and Mu Qingtong refused to speak until he figured it out.

Damian checked the time with the communicator, leaned back on the chair, crossed his arms, and said casually, "4 minutes."

Mu Qingtong looked at him quietly.

"I remember that we have a class this semester, which is anti-interrogation training. One of the main contents is how to disturb the other party's thinking, and use false information in exchange for trust for a certain period of time." Damian raised the communicator in his hand to In front of Mu Qingtong, it was counting the time, and the number 251 was displayed on the big screen, "After that class was over, I remember that the average score of our class was 124 seconds, you spent twice as long, but you still haven't answered my question." The problem."

Mu Qingtong's heart was beating like a beating, and his nerves were tense like bowstrings, waiting for Damian's next words.

"In other words, you didn't want to make up anything to fool me, but chose to remain silent. I'm actually very happy that you can do this, which means that you still regard me as a friend." Damian said.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

What logic is this?

What Damian said was so reasonable that Mu Qingtong couldn't refute it for a while.

Mu Qingtong suddenly felt that he thought Damian too complicated?He shook his head, couldn't help laughing, and asked, "You really want to know?"

Damian asked back, "What do you think?"

Mu Qingtong took a deep breath, with a helpless expression, and replied after a while: "You guessed right, it's not that I don't want to talk about these questions... Not only are they related to confidentiality, but they are also a bit hard for me to talk about."

"What?" Damian asked.

Class A students themselves have certain confidentiality authority, but only limited to the military academy.

Mu Qingtong didn't know if he knew about Hei's dual career, if he didn't know that Hei had a job in the intelligence department, if he leaked it from his side, it would put Hei in a very embarrassing situation.

"I worked with black before, oh, it was Schwartz, but I didn't know his real name at the time. After the death of my mentor, I left the establishment, and I was in a bad state during that time." Mu Qingtong's tone was deep. A deep sense of powerlessness, but it makes people feel very sincere, "Our family's conditions are not good, it can be regarded as the bottom of the empire. I told you about our family's situation. I only have a foster mother, and she has no fixed job yet. , Our family will go to receive relief money every month. And I didn’t want to go to the military academy before, so even if I applied for a subsidy for my tuition, the living expenses are still a big expense. In order to earn money, I took on a lot of private jobs, but almost It’s a person working alone, helping others to find out small things, or solving some small troubles.”

Damian didn't ask Mu Qingtong the cause of his mentor's death. He had mentioned it so vaguely, so he certainly didn't want to mention it too much.

"The price of leaving the team is very serious. I have been targeted by the intelligence department." Mu Qingtong sighed, "The information I asked for in the last order is stored in a certain database. I am not good at this, so I need someone to talk to The hacker I cooperated with. In this way, I met Schwartz. But I didn’t expect that this was a bureau set up by the Ministry of Intelligence. After I was exposed, I was arrested and sent to the military academy.”

At the end, Mu Qingtong spread out his hands and said, "Now you know why I don't want to talk about it?"

Damian touched his chin, this explanation made him unbelievable.In his impression, Mu Qingtong belonged to the class of obedient students who broke away from the establishment and worked on their own just to earn some extra money. This kind of behavior was tantamount to treason, and he couldn't accept the huge contrast.

But the Ministry of Intelligence did not punish Mu Qingtong, but instead sent him to a military academy. Does that mean that Mu Qingtong still behaved properly?Damian thought again.

"What happened to Lu Sien?"

Why did Jiang Yao suddenly get involved?Mu Qingtong couldn't believe his attachment to Damian. He looked at Damian suspiciously, as if he was questioning whether there was something wrong with his hearing.

No, Lyle once questioned his relationship with Jiang Yao, could it be...

Thinking of this, Mu Qingtong wanted to lose his temper a little bit, this crap is really out of play.

"Lu Sien really has never treated me differently. He stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face." Mu Qingtong said with a smile, "Maintaining a good relationship with everyone is a compulsory course for us. If we even deal with this matter No, I spent so many years with my mentor for nothing."

Damian looked at Mu Qingtong suspiciously, and remained silent for a long time, as if he was weighing the authenticity of Mu Qingtong's words.

Mu Qingtong didn't care about Damian's hesitation, every word he said back and forth was true and not made up.It's just that too much key content has been extracted, and all the fragments of facts have been put together again, and it has become another look.

Even if it was sent out by the wiretapping device, no valuable clues could be found, and his file had already been changed to perfection by Lawson.

In the end, Damian still chose to believe Mu Qingtong's words, even though there were still some doubts in his words, but when it came to confidentiality, he consciously did not pursue it further.

The two didn't bring up this topic again after that, they just talked about some irrelevant things casually. Damian Ancheng didn't pay attention to the pot of prickly pears, but just said by the way before leaving: "Lyle sent you You actually kept this thing of yours."

"Why did I throw it?" Mu Qingtong asked back.

Damian curled his lips indifferently and said, "You keep putting Lyle on the blacklist, so he thought you threw away this pot of prickly pear. I told him it was impossible, but you still asked me where I bought this prickly prickly pear and gave it to me. Your mother brought a pot home, but he didn't believe me, so I'll tell him when I go back. Let's go first, bye!"

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Then Damian hummed a little tune and left the dormitory, slowly closing the door behind him.

After Damian left, Mu Qingtong's expression turned completely cold.

This person was beyond his expectation, his hidden skills were first-rate, and it was completely unknown whether he was an enemy or a friend. Does he have a second identity?

Then he reported exactly what had just happened to Lawson, and added a message asking about memory transplantation.

However, Luo Sen was silent about this before, and he must not have Jiang Yao's order, so he did not dare to answer him.

Mu Qingtong stayed in the dormitory all afternoon, flipping through the books borrowed from the library at the end of last month, and found that the tone of the war-related books was very similar. After coming down from the battlefield of i-country, he was somewhat repulsed by such subjects.

When the pale numbers in the writing are replaced by real colleagues in reality, there is no way to express the sadness that I feel.

Then he thought again that this didn't seem to be his own experience, but just copied someone else's memory.He closed the book helplessly, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to think about philosophical issues about himself.

There was still no sign of Jiang Yao coming back.

Looking at the time, it was close to six in the afternoon, and it was difficult to choose something suitable for him after the meal time in the cafeteria. Mu Qingtong rubbed the center of his eyebrows and temples, changed his clothes and took the prescription list to buy food.

He still couldn't get his appetite up, and his stomach was a little bloated after he didn't drink half of a bowl of porridge. He forced himself to eat a few mouthfuls of pasta before going to the hospital for a second infusion.

Few people in the military academy get sick, the school hospital is deserted, and there are almost no people in the hall.

It says in the medical record that a follow-up visit is required?

Mu Qingtong looked at the text above and found the department he was taken to yesterday.

Inside sat an old lady who looked about sixty years old, her hair was almost completely white, and she wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses.

"Hello." Mu Qingtong gently knocked on the door.

"Ah, it's you." The old lady doctor seemed to know him, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better..." Mu Qingtong replied doubtfully.

The old lady has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, her hair is almost white, but her face is not too old, she is about five or sixty years old.

"Come here." The old lady waved with a smile, motioning for Mu Qingtong to sit down, "I happened to be on duty yesterday, and it was almost 12 o'clock. Someone carried you to the emergency room. Was that your roommate?"

"Ah? Yes, yes...that's my roommate." Mu Qingtong scratched his head.

"The young man is very nice and caring about you. When the nurse took your temperature and found that you had a temperature of 40 degrees, his face turned pale from fright." The old lady changed the subject and said, "It's just that he has a bad temper."

Mu Qingtong: "Huh?"

"The little nurse who gave you the injection yesterday just arrived. Your blood vessels are too fragile, and two of them were punctured at once. The young man almost wrote her name in the complaint book. Our little nurse was about to cry."

Mu Qingtong: "..."

How should he answer this?Mu Qingtong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the old lady's words were a bit delicate, he had to practice Tai Chi, and said: "He's just like that, but he's actually quite nice, I guess I was in a hurry yesterday, look at the backs of my hands Green."

Mu Qingtong stretched out both hands, there was a large bruise around the eye of the needle, looking miserable.

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "You young people..."

Mu Qingtong smiled, changed the subject and said: "I don't know what's going on, I had a low fever for a while, and then I came here to register after dinner yesterday afternoon, the doctor said there was nothing wrong, so he only prescribed it for me." A bottle of vitamin C, I was not allowed to take medicine. Who knew that the fever was so high in the middle of the night, so I wondered if yesterday..."

Holding the pen in her hand, the old lady said seriously, "I read your medical records yesterday, and the diagnosis was correct. After the blood test, no abnormalities were found in the routine blood test."

"What's going on?" Mu Qingtong said, "My diagnosis only says high fever."

"In fact, there are two or three cases like yours in school every year. Unknown high fever will automatically heal after controlling the body temperature. There is no virus infection, and there is no inflammation in the body. The students who have this situation have xy chromosomes, And most of them are between 20 and [-] years old, and a special research team has been set up in the Science Museum. The only thing that can be confirmed now is that your body functions are fine." The old lady patiently explained, "So you don't have to worry too much. .”

After hearing this, Mu Qingtong was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, yes, I understand, thank you doctor."

The old lady smiled and said, "Go for an infusion, it's on the third floor."

"Well, okay, sorry to trouble you." Mu Qingtong stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Mu Qingtong didn't know much about pharmacology, but the potion he prepared seemed to supplement the body's nutrition, and the amount was not too much, about [-] milliliters.

The infusion of this drug into the body does not stimulate the blood vessels much, so he adjusted the flow rate of the drug a little faster.

There were only two people in the infusion room, and only the clock on the wall was swinging in the quiet environment. Mu Qingtong leaned on the chair and stared blankly, unable to lift his emotions. He desperately wanted to see Jiang Yao, and wanted to ask clearly. What is going on.

After the infusion, he left the school hospital almost immediately.

One or two of the streetlights in the campus were broken, and the concrete floor was covered with dark and mottled leaves. Walking on it felt like ghostly shadows. Mu Qingtong imagined Jiang Yao's appearance in the middle of the night yesterday, and couldn't help laughing come out.

But he hadn't seen anyone else for a whole day.Jiang Yao's life is very regular, and this situation has never happened today, and occasionally he does not come back because of the course arrangement.

But Damian said that they had no class this afternoon, so where did Jiang Yao go?

Mu Qingtong took out the communicator and saw that the status of the sent message was still "sent", Jiang Yao still didn't click on his message.

He quickened his pace and finally returned to the dormitory, but he still didn't see the familiar figure after opening the door.

The arrangement on Jiang Yao's desk is exactly the same as when he left, even the position of the textbooks has not changed a bit, and Jiang Yao has not come back during this time.

Mu Qingtong looked at the time and found that it was not yet nine o'clock, maybe he was in evening class?

Jiang Yao's bracelet was placed on the table. Mu Qingtong picked it up and found that there was no password, so he clicked on the menu, pulled out the monitoring program, and clicked on the screen to quickly replay the page.

Mu Qingtong lay on Jiang Yao's desk and watched the surveillance video of the past two days, and then sent a message to Damian.

[Mu Qingtong: Do you have class tonight? 】

[Damian: Of course there is no class, tomorrow is a holiday, who is still in class. 】

【Mu Qingtong: Well, I see. 】

【Damian: Why are you asking this?Do you want to ask where Lu Sien went? 】【Mu Qingtong:...】

How obvious is he?After being exposed, Mu Qingtong felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

【Mu Qingtong: Well, he didn't go back to the dormitory all day today, so I'll just ask. 】【Damian: I was just about to tell you. 】

[Damian: Strange, don't you pay attention to the latest developments?Then I thought Lusien had already told you.Unexpectedly, his virtue has not changed. 】【Mu Qingtong: What's wrong? 】

[Damian: He went to District X to participate in the actual combat command exercise competition. He left this morning and will not be back until a month later.There is an announcement on our school's forum about this, you didn't pay attention, did you? 】Mu Qingtong: "..."

Participate in the competition?a month?

Mu Qingtong was dumbfounded at the time.

It just so happened that Luo Sen's reply was sent, and his bracelet kept vibrating. Mu Qingtong came back to his senses and clicked on the unread message page.

[Lawson: Received. 】

[Lawson: The data of the memory overlay experiment is top secret, I have no right to disclose any information, everything will be dealt with after His Royal Highness returns. 】【Lawson sent a file】

Mu Qingtong said in his heart that it really was like this, asking for nothing was like asking for nothing, he could definitely find nothing in the military academy by himself...

No, he knew Schwartz now.Mu Qingtong had a flash of inspiration and suddenly had an idea, and then he opened the document that Lawson sent him, which was a recent work report.

It stated the progress of the investigation every day, and Yirmo was in a strong position to find out all the accounts of the small supermarket on campus, including the bank statements of the boss and clerks, and locked the final target on a certain important person.

On the contrary, there is no progress on his side. Lyle has been well-behaved from the beginning to the end, but how to explain the doubts on him?And who is Damian?

He read the job summary many times, his index finger poked a certain wooden grain on the table boredly, his brows were furrowed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something.

Things are still not right.

After Mu Qingtong was in a daze for a while, he took out a small notebook from the drawer, reorganized the whole matter, wrote down his doubts and the results of the current investigation, and listed them on both sides of the page.

The fact that Irmo's investigation went too smoothly was the biggest doubt in itself. The progress of the case was so fast that it seemed that the clues were waiting for them to discover.

He still couldn't believe that Lyle was innocent, but how could Lyle give him the bug so coincidentally, as if he couldn't wait to be discovered by him.

Everything is unreasonable...

Why is he still thinking about this?Test product, test product...Mu Qingtong hugged her head and clenched her fists irritably.

This incident was like a thorn in his heart, the wound was small, but the thorn was extremely deep, but he was not given a chance to get it out, leaving him stuck in his throat.

Jiang Yao, Lawson, Schwartz, including his unmasked parents, everyone was lying to him.

And her adoptive mother, did she know about this matter?If she also knew about this experiment...

Mu Qingtong didn't dare to call to test it out. From this moment on, he really realized what it means to be alone and helpless.

He felt very powerless, but he was helpless, and he didn't know how to fight.

Mu Qingtong ate a toffee, then closed the notebook, and slowly lay down on the bed.

He lay down covering his mouth and curled up into a ball.Lyle's number was still in his blacklist, Mu Qingtong tilted his head, trying to pick up the communicator to check, but in the end he didn't move.Hugging his knees like a little hedgehog, he closed his eyes and felt the rich milk fragrance slowly spread in his mouth.

His mind was churning, his eyes were dry, and after spending the better part of an hour in bed, he sent Schwartz a message.

【Can you contact Luce...】

He didn't finish typing, and deleted the above text.

Mu Qingtong rested his palm on his forehead, then stroked the hair on his forehead to the back of his head, exposing the entire forehead, rubbed his own hair again, and exhaled heavily.

Then re-enter a paragraph of text.

[Mu Qingtong: Are you there? 】

[Schwartz: I'm at work, what's the matter? 】

Hearing Schwartz say the word "go to work" and his military rank, Mu Qingtong always felt that it was too out of harmony, and said "Schwartz is a lieutenant colonel" several times in his heart before putting his hands on the keyboard again.

[Mu Qingtong: Still going to work so late? 】

[Schwartz: Working overtime! 】

[Mu Qingtong: I want to ask you something about your recent work, is it convenient for you? 】【Schwartz: Just say it!No one can monitor my chat history: -p] Mu Qingtong was embarrassed by his retro emoji, what about the cool, aggressive and high-end hacker he promised?What's going on with this middle-aged expression...

In an alley in the city.

"Golden retriever?" Yi Ermo snuffed out the cigarette casually, and blew out a smoke ring.

Holding the camera, the blond man turned his head in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Ermo asked: "Lyle Murphy has been monitoring for a few weeks, do you remember?"

After a while of silence, the blond man replied, "Almost three weeks."

"Then it's almost time to vacate next week. Schwartz and I will go there then. I'm familiar with that building."

The golden retriever was dissatisfied and said: "What did the colonel do this time? Isn't this little boy just checking it out? What else can he do? He has been staring at this stupid thing for so long. I remember that he was not like this before. "

"Maybe he really has a problem." Yi Ermo sighed.

"If there is a problem, that kid can be arrested, right? It's not his style to sit and wait for death."

"Maybe he has other considerations, let's just do our own thing." Irmo took out a bunch of analysis reports, and then said, "We can collect the net here, and you can help me with my summary , You go up and say it during the meeting, and I'll listen."

"It's me again?" The blond man expressed reluctance, but finally nodded.

Building b 327.

[Mu Qingtong: What happened to the signal tracking problem you mentioned? 】

[Schwartz: It’s almost there, the point of the small store has been confirmed, and there is another reception point outside the school that has locked the approximate range.I asked Ermo to stay there, and there should be news in three or four days. 】【Mu Qingtong: Then do you know what happened? 】

[Mu Qingtong: Is your current direction pointing to the Black Swan Legion? 】

[Schwartz: No, no. 】

【Schwartz: I know you're suspicious of Lyle, but I really haven't found any problems here. The clues from Irmer and the headquarters have been connected. This is an intelligence case against the military academy. 】【Schwartz: You should have read the summary sent to you by the university. Not only is there the bug in your room in the school, but it is also produced by the same batch number.It's just that you were unlucky enough to be recruited. 】【Schwartz: This case involves quite a lot, and it doesn't look like the work of a black swan. There is no need for him to eavesdrop on the military academy's information.He already had his staff in the top ranks of the military academy, and he was basically in charge of the capital military academy. 】【Schwartz: We have to be careful next year:-(】

[Schwartz: Are you still listening? 】

[Mu Qingtong: Yes. 】

Mu Qingtong rubbed his chin, looked at his communicator, and typed in another sentence.

[Mu Qingtong: Have you worked with Yi Ermo before? 】

[Schwartz: No. 】

[Mu Qingtong: His progress is too fast, I feel something is wrong.I remember not long after the bug was discovered, he found out that there was something wrong with the small store. 】【Schwartz: Why is there a problem? 】

Mu Qingtong looked at the screen and frowned.

[Mu Qingtong: Why are you so confident? 】

[Schwartz: Because I almost found out xd]

Speaking of this, Mu Qingtong didn't want to question any more, so he had to hastily end the topic.

[Mu Qingtong: Well, I understand, please contact me when you have definite results. 】【Schwartz: Okay! 】

It seemed that Schwartz didn't know anything about the experiment, so Mu Qingtong decided to take a gamble.

After half a minute, he took a deep breath and sent Schwartz what he really wanted to say.

【Mu Qingtong: Are you free tomorrow? 】

[Schwartz: Yes, I will rest tomorrow morning. 】

[Mu Qingtong: Can I come to you? 】

[Schwartz: Aren't you training tomorrow? 】

[Mu Qingtong: I have a high fever and have already asked for leave. 】

[Schwartz: So how are you doing now?better no! 】

【Mu Qingtong: It's much better, just went for another infusion, it's fine. 】

【Schwartz: Alright...then why are you looking for me? 】

[Mu Qingtong: I just want to talk to someone. 】
