special task

John pushed open the door, his brows furrowed, and the room smelled of beer.And the one sitting by the window was Wu Lin.

When Wu Lin heard the voice behind her, she knew that it was John who was coming. She couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You're here."

"You haven't contacted us for a day."

John sat on the ground with Wu Lin.Wu Lin handed John a can of beer: "Ah. How is Finch? Has he recovered?"

"much better."

"That's good……"

Wu Lin took a sip into her mouth, and John gulped down a big gulp too, but his eyes didn't leave Wu Lin.

"You know, I haven't thanked you yet."

Wu Lin laughed at herself, "Thank you for what?"

For the first time, John showed a sincere smile to Wu Lin: "Finch and I can't survive without your help."

Wu Lin sneered: "Come on, you and Finch would be the same without me, just work harder."

She took another sip, and for some reason, upon hearing such a sentence, her nose suddenly became a little sore and her eyes a little bit astringent.

"John, I think I'm still too useless."

Wu Lin paused, John didn't answer, and she didn't expect John to answer, her voice trembling: "John, if, I mean if, there is a world that needs you to save, do you think you will save it? Even if it is unscrupulous, do you have to save it? If it is unscrupulous, then what is the difference between us and people like Gen?"

Originally, when John heard Wu Lin say something like this, he definitely wanted to make a cliché, not to mention that Wu Lin was obviously emotionally unstable now, even if he didn't make a cliché, he kept sending out new information.But he didn't continue his cliché, not even a little chance.He couldn't fully trust Wu Lin's background, but he was sure that Wu Lin would not be a threat.After all...she really helped a lot in rescuing Finch this time.

Wu Lin didn't wait for John to reply, she went on to say: "A world... What a heavy responsibility. From before to now, I have always left the responsibility to others, and I have never really faced anything... Even if I No matter how high-sounding it is, it can't hide the real reason why I left home, but it's just that I don't want to face that I'm not the only one in my mother's life. I'm afraid..."

She hugged herself even tighter, even trembling.She felt cold, but she didn't know why it was so cold. She rested her head on her knees at a loss and looked ahead blankly.

"Sometimes, I think, just die. In this world, there seems to be nothing worth living for me. If the only person I value, no longer regards me as the only one. I know that I shouldn't think so , I shouldn't even think of my mother as the only one, but I still couldn't stop myself from thinking about it. Until I read Batman."

Wu Lin's eyes seemed to light up again, as if something had ignited her: "He is very good, he told me that there are too many in the world. My damn thoughts seem to be much less, I am very Glad, grateful, I see him as a god and believe in what he believes in. Because of him, I even seem to be less dependent on my mother. At least until she actually gave birth to a new child. feel the pain."

Wu Lin's eyes darkened again in an instant. John had some hesitation in his eyes, but he still stood up, walked to Wu Lin, and hugged Wu Lin in his arms.The moment Wu Lin touched John's arms, tears couldn't stop falling down.She didn't cry out loud, she was still crying silently, but she turned from whimpering to hiccupping as she cried.

John comforted Wu Lin's ear: "Good boy, it's okay. It's okay..."

Tired from crying, Wu Lin picked up John's clothes, and slowly continued to mutter in his arms: "I really want to do my part, but this is only based on the fact that I know that I am just one of many experimental subjects." I want to help... I don't want to be a hindrance. My mother should have her life and she should be happy. But how do I save the world? Palf is injured, what should I do? I'm not smart enough, and my mind is easy Being used, and not skilled enough, what should I do? What should I do..."

John's deep voice seemed a bit depressed: "You can ask us to help, you are not the only one you can rely on, you...you are not alone..."

Deep remorse came from John's mouth, but Wu Lin seemed to feel the trace of remorse acutely, she pushed John away angrily, and smashed a can of beer at him: "You will regret finding someone else. She's dead! [I'm not a stand-in! How could such a bloody thing happen to me?!]"

In the last sentence, Wu Lin used Chinese. John paused for a moment before using the Chinese he had learned since Kara's death. He heard Wu Lin intermittently angry and was about to say something. Falling to the ground, John quickly helped him up.Now Wu Lin was quiet. John took a closer look and found that she had fallen asleep.In her sleep, her brows were still frowning.

John carried her to the bed, and tidied up the room for her a little bit, mainly to throw away the wine, only to find that her mobile phone was lying quietly on the ground within the reach of Wu Lin just now.John picked up the phone, and hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes again. This time, he didn't steal Wu Lin's fingerprints, but put the phone on Wu Lin's bedside table.After packing up, he also left, and Finch was still waiting for his reply.What's more important is to solve the problem of Finch's psychological shadow. After all, Finch has only just been separated from Root for a few days.

The next morning, Wu Lin rubbed her aching head, her memory came back in an instant, and she sighed helplessly.He sat up and saw the mineral water and mobile phone on the bedside, and the bitterness in his eyes became heavier.

Wu Lin picked up her phone and turned on the screen saver, a photo was displayed on it.

In the photo, is an extremely desolate scene.There were ruins everywhere, some people were crushed under the ruins, and some people's bodies had already started to rot. The numb expressions of the people made Wu Lin feel chills in her heart.

It was the penultimate picture they cracked, and obviously, that's what she was going to face.If there is no successful disarming of the threat, then these will become a reality.She didn't want to see such a scene, so she could only make some efforts that she knew how to do.It wasn't until she saw this photo that she realized how heavy the burden was on her.

But how can we find out from the thousands of people who know the machine and want to destroy it?

The man who kidnapped Finch was the one who wanted to do something with the machine, maybe it was the one she was looking for, maybe not.The danger was nipped in the bud, and it didn't matter so much whether Root actually succeeded in doing something to the machine.This is why Wu Lin's heart is still in a state of confusion.

On the one hand, she knew that the danger had to be killed earlier, but on the other hand, she had to kill.

Killing people in order to save people, no matter how you listen to this reason, you find it funny.

What would Batman... do?

If... John, what would he do?

According to the moral concept of profit maximization, it seems worthwhile to exchange the death of one person for the lives of tens of thousands of people.

But... the value of a person itself is infinite, even if there are thousands of people, it is still infinite.Such two infinities are indistinguishable in themselves, are they not?

Everyone feels that they have sufficient reasons when they kill people, not to mention that this is a conclusion drawn through inference when she did not commit a crime. Is there really a reason?

Even so, what is the difference between her and someone like Gen?For the sake of the end, the means are unscrupulous, isn't it?

She can't evade her responsibility, can't push everything to Palf, let alone stand by and keep herself clean when Palf is stained with blood from another world .Totally impossible.

How to do?

If you look for Root now, there is probably still time, after all, this is the second day after bringing Finch back.If you wait any longer, it will be too late.

Wu Lin gritted her teeth and decided to follow up first, so as not to find anyone when the time came.

After reporting to Peter that she was going to follow someone through a text message, Wu Lin still had a little confusion in her eyes, and she moved her body almost instinctively.She left a note saying that she had something to do and she didn't want to be found, so she embarked on the road of finding the root.With little effort, she found Root who was stalking outside that door.

She didn't dare to get too close, and even didn't dare to install ordinary bugs because she knew that Gen was good at network-related technologies. It has also been used up.

Squatting is boring, but Gen doesn't look so boring. His hands have been clicking keys on the laptop, and he doesn't know what he is looking up.Moreover, Gen's sense is very keen, and Wu Lin always felt that if she hadn't been following far away, and didn't use any telescope, only a camera, and covered a layer of black veil in front of the lens, she would have been discovered by Gen.

There was a sudden movement in the house opposite. A group of people were driving in and out, looking very suspicious.Wu Lin didn't dare to get too close to the root, but she really wanted to know who was going in and out of the house to get the man who obviously belonged to the government. Anyway, she was sure that Gen's purpose was to find out where these people belonged so that he could continue to follow.After she knew who these people were, she would always run into Gen.

Wu Lin felt a lot more relaxed after being followed by another person. At least these people felt much weaker than Gen, and dared to use bugs and the like.

These people really belonged to the government, and they were sent by the superior of the dead man. The leader seemed to be called Hull Ten, which should be the code name.Hull X seems to be loyal to an organization called Special Intelligence Support, the same organization that she was concussed the last time she fought against her.

When mentioning concussion, Wu Lin couldn't help gnashing her teeth. She had just recovered from a gunshot wound, but not long after jumping, she was concussed again and was forced to rest for a few weeks.She is always the one who gets hurt!Damn it!

Those people were always ready to retreat, and when they saw Gen from a distance, they wanted to follow. Wu Lin was naturally ready to leave.Unexpectedly, an aura suddenly appeared behind him, but because the other party was too fast, the aura was also an acquaintance and seemed harmless, so he stopped his instinctive reaction.So, just for a moment, she was under the control of others.

The man covered her mouth, but this breath was not unfamiliar to Wu Lin, so she didn't struggle too much, it was Palf.

After Gen and the government gang were all gone, Palf let Wu Lin go.

Wu Lin instinctively took a step back, looking at Palf with an uneasy expression, "Why are you here?"

Palf's complexion was not very good-looking, and Wu Lin was a little worried about his lack of blood.But compared to the last time I saw him lying on the bed, his pale face was not bad.

"I won't come again, will I wait until you screw things up?"

The sarcastic face made Wu Lin feel very uncomfortable. Palf seldom showed emotion, and he even seldom spoke.But in Wu Lin's limited experience facing Palf, when he speaks, he must be extremely calm.But this time with obvious sarcasm?

Using a mocking tone to people, is it to make the other person angry?

So...why did Parff want to make her angry?For the first time, she was able to think clearly about Palf's every move at the time, instead of understanding it every time he was emotionally affected and he disappeared.Is this considered growth?Within a few days, she understood what she was really carrying, and Wu Lin felt that she would be more disappointing if she didn't grow up.

"We are an organization. You and I... can be regarded as partners. No matter how bad it is, I am your subordinate. I will help you whatever you want, but you can't just hide it from me."

Palf looked at this woman who had learned to calm down with scrutiny, and stopped making sarcastic expressions.After weighing it for a few seconds, he said again: "I need you to have a good relationship with Finch and John."

Wu Lin was a little annoyed: "I can't find out more from them. I think I'm tracking root or something, and it's more useful to solve the threat."

Palf didn't speak, just looked at Wu Lin like this, and it was a few seconds later that he gave Wu Lin new instructions: "No, they know more than that, don't you have a good relationship with John? He He's not a quiet person, as long as you have a good relationship with him enough to share information, follow him, and you will naturally know more. You don't have to worry about root here. "

Seeing Wu Lin's expression of still not admitting it, Palf finally added: "We are an organization, you are my partner, I will not lie to you."

Wu Lin's brows were not stretched, and she always felt that Palf was not telling the truth, but she couldn't find any loopholes in Palf's words.It is true that compared to Palf, she is still a little too tender when dealing with Gen, and for John and Finch, the relationship between her and them is getting deeper.But when dealing with the relationship with John and Finch, she still felt a sense of fear, what if she got stuck if she was not careful?

"Leave quickly, don't hinder me, or I have plenty of ways to make you leave."

Palf's voice came to Wu Lin's ears abruptly, and Wu Lin felt that Palf was a little impatient.She had no choice but to nod her head.As Palf said, he has many ways to get her to go back obediently. Rather than being forced by some unknown method, he might as well walk back by himself.

However, before leaving, Wu Lin couldn't hold back: "Palf, there are things to remember, I'm always here."

Palf didn't nod and didn't answer. He stood by the tree and saw Wu Lin's nimble figure disappearing into the grove.It took a long time before there was a little softness on his stern face.The speed at which Wu Lin grew up was beyond his expectation. Did he get rid of his influence in her heart so quickly?Some pride and pride.

If it was before, he would have struck while the iron was hot, personally sent Wu Lin to Gen's side, and let her make a choice.It's just... I don't know when, he has been unable to deal with Wu Lin ruthlessly.
