space broker

———The present world———

Seven years later.

Rong Min calmly walked into an office and sat down at a large desk.Opposite him is the leader of the Space Research Institute who invited him to give a lecture today.

The Space Research Institute of the present world was established five years ago.And two years ago, the Messenger Corps was disbanded and placed under the Institute of Space Research, becoming the Security Section of the Institute.

There was a labor contract on the desk, and the leader said, "This is a long-term contract I specially won for you. Not only will it be signed for ten years, but it will also give you a salary increase."

Rong Min looked at the other party calmly, "Thank you, leader."

The leader nodded and smiled, and then his eyes changed, "The old chief has fallen."

Rong Min: "Oh."

Looking at his expressionless dead face, the leader was a little annoyed, "I know the old chief once promised never to open the space technology sealed by the messenger group, but the new chief will not allow you to mess around like this. You know now How fierce is the technological competition in China? Cutting-edge technology should be handed over, so why are you always holding back?"

Rong Min: "Do you have any documents?"

The leader became even more irritable, "We still have to wait for the new chief to issue the document? Why are you so stubborn! I think you were the commander of the messenger group, three levels higher than me. But how is it now? It's not because of your stubbornness." , Offended so many people! Let me tell you, a large part of the reason for the old chief's downfall this time was to protect you!"

Rong Min: "Do you have any documents?"

The leader Heixia was about to get angry when he suddenly rolled his eyes and said sarcastically: "Rong Min, I know that the former messenger group had a high status, and the old chief was there to support you, so I gave you a lawless look. Smelly temper. But you have to recognize the reality, today is different from the past, as far as the things you did before, a thorough investigation of any one thing is enough for you to drink a pot, you know?"

Rong Min: "Oh."

This is not eating oil and salt, soft and hard!

The leader jumped up, "Rong Min! Don't think I don't know that you let Lin You go privately, and you also assisted him in stealing all the data about multi-space! Also, you deliberately destroyed the Xingtian armor You are treason, do you know that!"

Rong Min said calmly: "Sorry, you are not qualified to convict me."

The leader was furious, "I think you really don't want to do it anymore!"

Rong Min Shi Ran took out a letter of resignation from the inside pocket of his uniform, "I have intended this for a long time." After saying that, he got up and left gracefully.

After coming out of the research institute, Rong Min changed into casual clothes and went to Xiaoheilou.

Now space brokers have long been a thing of the past, but all agencies are thriving.In the past, the short-sought goods were sold from its space, but now the link with its space has been cut off, and the "short-sought goods" have become orphans. Buying one is less than one, and some can even go directly to top auction houses.

And the magical cosmeceuticals in its space have also become luxury goods sought after by the rich in the world.After all, only passers-by have mastered this technique.So thanks to the little prince's foresight back then, the passers-by lived very well.

Today Rong Min had dinner at Xiaoheilou.

A round table is full of acquaintances.The little prince, Wei Tao, Fatty, Qin Guan, and Rong Min, there are five people in total.But there were six pairs of chopsticks on the table, and there was a bowl of unshakable shark fin rice in front of the vacant seat.It's a pity that this bowl of rice has been placed for seven years and changed three times a day, but that guy never came back to taste it.

Rong Min still remembers that it was the first year after Anton disappeared in the Acropolis passage, the little prince would drink too much every day, and when he was drunk, he would hold the bowl of rice and cry loudly, saying that he was sorry for Brother Dong, and used to pretend to be shark fin with Longkou fans He lied to him, but he didn't eat a real bowl of shark's fin rice until the day he died.

Fatty gets angry every time, saying that Dong Ge will definitely come back again, and he is not allowed to say the word "gone", bah bah bah!

Then they cried and howled together over the bowl of rice.

This scene played out every day for a whole year, and then it got a little better.

Rong Min thought they were stupid and self-abuse.If it makes you sad to see it, why do you want to watch it?

The little prince said, "What if Brother Dong comes back someday?"

Can Anton really come back?

The little prince and the others didn't know, and neither did Rong Min.

Since disconnecting from its space, Rong Min has been depressed every day.

The aftermath was trivial, mostly reconstruction and claims.

The members of the messenger group are all top-notch talents who have been screened out through layers of selection. Wen Neng can calculate the ambassador group, and Wu Neng can fight against the Tianyinghui in armor.But every time they encounter unscrupulous people rolling all over the floor demanding compensation, they are a little helpless.

Rong Min was also very confused at the beginning, he didn't know what else he could do without the Parallel Space Messenger.Later, he had to face suppression and exclusion from various forces.This is not the life he wants, let alone the job he once yearned for, but he has to take on this responsibility.

What chilled Rong Min the most was that people quickly forgot about the past crisis and the dedication of the members of the messenger group. Some people even took pleasure in other people's misfortune when the messenger group was incorporated into the security department of the research institute.

At the same time, several forces also began to think about the "baby" of the messenger group.That is the advanced technology of its space!Why only let the messenger group dominate?Had it not been for the great help of our fraternal units back then, would the messenger group have made great achievements!So is it time to divide the pork?

Rong Min started to arrange a series of countermeasures from this day.

Today the leader was right. It was indeed Rong Min who secretly helped Lin You steal secrets and fled overseas. It was also Rong Min who personally destroyed the circuit boards and chips of the Xingtian armor.

Lin You said it well: "Science can save the world, but I will never hand over the research results to people who don't understand science."

History has proven his point countless times.

Today is a peaceful and prosperous age, and the sacred science will only be reduced to a tool for some people to pursue fame and fortune.What's even more frightening is that if it falls into the hands of war mad or anti-social personality, it will be a disaster for the whole world.

And this world is defended by Anton at the highest price.

Rong Min drank the last glass of wine and told the little prince, "I've already resigned, you should restrain yourself a little bit in the future."

After a moment of silence, the little prince toasted him with a glass of wine, then got up and went to the bedroom on the second floor to get a big envelope and hand it to him.

Rong Min opened it and took a look. There were several bank cards and a stack of documents inside.

"I do not want."

Wei Tao smiled, as if he had already guessed Rong Min's reaction, "These are Anton's, and you and your mother are his only heirs. The documents in the envelope are required to be signed by every broker who joins our agency. One beneficiary, Anton, was left blank before, but later filled in the names of your mother and child."

The little prince also laughed, "We're just waiting for you to leave the research institute, otherwise those grandsons staring at you will give you a label of 'huge assets with unknown origin'."

Rong Min took out the document, and sure enough, he saw his and his mother's names in the beneficiary column.Just those two words...

[The words are really ugly. 】

[You know what a fart, this is called crazy grass! 】

That night, Rong Min got drunk.

A month later, on a dark and windy night, Rong Min appeared in a valley in the Mexican plateau.

He was greeted by Lin You and a group of fancy-dressed aborigines.

Rong Min followed Lin You into a dark, abandoned mine, and after turning around, he entered the elevator and went down all the way.When the elevator door opened, there was already an underground city outside the door.

Lin You carried Rong Min's backpack as he walked and said, "Mr. Cheng knew about it as soon as you left. He was sure that you would come to us. He originally wanted to greet us in person, but he didn't see you after waiting for a long time. Just don't There is something that needs him to deal with, but he should be back in two days."

Rong Min looked at this underground world like a turtle entering the city.

This place was originally a small base established by Cheng Fengyang to study distorted space in the early years. Later, with continuous expansion, it now has the scale of a large scientific research unit.

And there is also a magical environment simulation system here, the alternation of day and night or the change of seasons, it just depends on the mood of the husband.

"Have you made any progress recently?" Rong Min asked Lin You after eating a Mexican-style supper.

"No, but Mr. Cheng will not give up."

Cheng Fengyang's underground city is very close to the only existing distorted space passage, and it only takes 5 minutes to drive there on the underground highway.The Messenger Corps had stationed a small unit here before, but with the disbandment of the Messenger Corps, no one was stationed on the ground.

Lin You said that the reason why Mr. Cheng dug the underground road was that he was too lazy to see the so-called "explorers" on the ground.

Today's distorted space channel has become a must-have item on the check-in list of Internet celebrities in various countries.One by one pretended to hold up a mobile phone to broadcast live, and dressed like an astronaut, claiming to challenge the distorted space.

Lin You said contemptuously: "They relied on Brother Dong to close the passage, otherwise why no one broadcasted live when there were distortion spaces all over the world!"

Rong Min's eyes flashed, "Anton closed the passage?"

Lin You couldn't help shrinking his neck.How could he forget, this was the former commander of the messenger group!

"This... wait for Mr. Cheng to come back and let him explain to you. You are tired today, so I won't bother you. "

Seeing Lin You fleeing like a living rabbit, Rong Min laughed angrily.

But a bubble of hope rose in his heart.According to what Lin You said, could Anton really come back one day?

In order to stabilize his mood, Rong Min sat down and lit a cigarette.

Anton, you kid, don't come back too late, I still want to have a drink with you in my lifetime.I have also learned how to stew fish now, shall we peel the garlic together again?

But with Cheng Fengyang's return, Rong Min's bubble of hope was burst.

"He's not coming back."

In the seven years, Cheng Fengyang's appearance has not changed much, and he looks younger than Rong Min.He was dressed very trendy, and he didn't look like a big man who could turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.

He drove Rong Min to the channel of the distorted space, "After the incident with the girl, Anton and Jiang Yi once entered the channel in private. Through the data from that time, Lin You discovered that this is actually a higher-dimensional space. After in-depth research, Lin You deduced that this space has consciousness. Generally speaking, you can understand it as a wild horse without an owner. After the person who can subdue it appears, it will be included in the space of consciousness of the entrant. Instead, it devours the entrant."

Rong Min himself has a degree in physics. Although the majors are different, the foundation is still there. "So now we are standing in front of Anton's consciousness space."

Cheng Fengyang smiled faintly, "Yes, he never left, he just guards our world in a higher dimension."

Rong Min suddenly realized, "Anton is guarding our space inside, and you build this dungeon to guard him."

Cheng Fengyang smiled, "Yes, I said that I want to be his backup, and you must keep your word."

After a moment of silence, Rong Min said solemnly: "Then let me be his backup with you!"

———It Space———

A spacecraft carried the "elites" who were lucky enough to be selected into the sky.

Jiang Su sat in the pavilion on Meishan and smoked quietly.

Next to him is E, "I heard you turned down the invitation to the last elite immigrants."

"Ah."

E was a little emotional, "Why!"

Jiang Su asked back: "Then why did you stay?"

E was silent.

This topic has been the focus of discussion in its space since the Tianyinghui and the radicals fell, and Jiang Su rejected the invitation of the conservatives to join the first batch of elite immigrants.

At first everyone thought that Jiang Su was just being modest, but as he refused again and again, no one understood what he was thinking.Even those unqualified ordinary citizens have launched a large-scale petition movement of "Jiang Su must be sent away".

Because when people discovered the fact that the doomsday crisis is irreversible, a concerted effort to allow the best people to continue their civilization gradually spread.

Human nature is selfish, but at some point it is also selfless.

However, Jiang Su didn't appreciate it.

The experience he suffered when he was young had a huge impact on him, so that he was always burdened with self-blame during his growth, which made him become the kind of smart, sensible and well-behaved "good boy" that all parents desire.

What should be done and what cannot be done, he strictly implements the teacher's teaching very seriously.

A senior told him: You want to join the embassy to inherit the behest of your parents.

At the age of 16, he became the youngest ambassador in history.

The former commander promoted him, loved him, but also restrained him, and warned him: This position will definitely be yours in the future, and as a commander, you must plan strategies, no matter how big or small.

So he led the embassy to detour through various forces, ended the cold war in one fell swoop, and brought them a "new hope" in space!

On many quiet nights, Jiang Su would sit in the gazebo on Meishan to see the scenery Anton once gazed at.

Ordinarily, from the first time he met Anton, they didn't get along for a long time, but this guy was very vivid in his memory, as if he had never left.

Just like the great rift valley under your feet.On the night Chen Zaoying was killed, he was very surprised why this young man who met him for the first time could understand his eyes.That guy also stepped on his head that night, and he kicked his nose and face even more afterward.

He and Anton had deceived and used each other for various reasons.Putting it on ordinary people may make them grow old and die once, but they can laugh it off.

Undoubtedly, he liked Anton, but he envied Anton's freedom even more.You can scold him if you want, you can beat him if you want, there is no taboo, as long as he wants to do, no one can control him.

It's exactly the same as when I was a child, and I haven't improved at all!

Thinking of this, Jiang Su was shocked suddenly, turned his head and asked E: "Could Anton be..."

He cut off the conversation before he finished, because it was pointless to discuss it now.

But E understands him.

He reached out and patted Jiang Su on the shoulder.This child has already taken on too much, he has to find a way to make him happy!

E's eyes lit up suddenly, "I have a drop of Anton's blood!"

Jiang Su couldn't follow E's thoughts immediately, but he quickly understood what he meant, "With Jiang Yi as an example, do you still think that the same genes can make the same people?"

E suddenly became sluggish, "Yeah, why is there such a big gap between them even though they have the same gene?"

This question cannot be answered in one or two sentences, and it is already midnight, and tomorrow we have to face a lot of new work.

"I'm going back to rest." Jiang Su stood up and stamped out the cigarette butt.

I really miss the big su that the kid gave him!There are also a variety of snacks.

Jiang Su raised the corners of his mouth slightly in the dark.

E also followed him and stood up, before parting, he suddenly asked: "Have you seen Jiang Yi recently?"

The corner of Jiang Su's mouth retracted, and he said indifferently: "I don't need to see him."

"His condition is not very good." The reason why E saves this topic until the end is because as long as Jiang Yi is mentioned, Jiang Su will return to his business-like state and reject people thousands of miles away.

There was no wave in Jiang Su's eyes: "Let him live."

"...Okay." E had mixed feelings in his heart.

After Jiang Yi was irradiated by the red light of the distorted space, he changed back to his previous appearance, but this time ER807 had no effect on him.

When he realized he was going to spend the rest of his life deformed and mutilated, he went mad.

"This is the price he should pay for his choice." Jiang Su put down these words and left.

E looked at his back and sighed.

In fact, isn't each of them paying the price for their choice?
