Case File Compendium

Xie Qingcheng waited for He Yu in the suite for a long time.

Without a cigarette, the wait became extraordinarily long, but he still waited.

The TV in the room is playing, and almost all the channels received here are English channels. The only Chinese channel is broadcasting entertainment variety shows. Some celebrities are laughing and joking. turn off.

He leaned on the sofa and thought, if it weren't for the Guangzhou naval battle, He Yu would have graduated from university by now.With his ability, he must have found a good job and started a project, and maybe his work will be seen on TV or in theaters in a year or two.

After Xie Qingcheng matured, he didn't like to watch any movies, and he seldom went to the cinema, but he thought, if it was filmed by He Yu, he would go to see it.

He Yu is special.

He has a lot on his mind, and he wants to say it to this special person tonight.

Only tonight can I finally tell this person.

He wanted to wait for He Yu to come back, so he said to him, kid, three years ago, you gave me your last trust in the world, but you almost died because of me.

I was so guilty that no matter what you did later, I never resented you. I just thought that if you vented all your resentment, you could change back to the way you were before, that would be good too.

After all, I owe you.

After all, I didn't want to live that much at the time.

He wanted to wait for He Yu to come back, so he said to him, I'm sorry, He Yu, I hurt the only person in the world who said "I need you" fiercely, you gave me your whole heart with both hands, Life and dignity guard me, and I would rather bear the name of a crime than make me sad.

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't believe that there is such love in the world.

But this kind of love has become a cold nameless monument in the cemetery when I want to respond.

I'm sorry, actually I even hate myself, why can I be so ruthless.

I never expected that you could let go of your hatred, but you finally told me that I don't hate you anymore.

——"I don't hate you anymore, don't be afraid."

Xie Qingcheng wanted to tell He Yu that he was not afraid of death.

He is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of pain, he is not afraid of being stigmatized or poor.

He is an upright and upright man, and he only wants a clear conscience anyway.But He Yu made him feel ashamed, and the suicide note that fell after the naval battle became the greatest guilt in his life.

He was actually afraid that He Yu would always hate him.

So that day when He Yu hugged him and said that he would never hate or quarrel anymore, he already felt that enough was enough, and he didn't dare to ask for more.And getting along on Mandela Island these days made him feel like a dream.Sometimes he can even feel the warmth in this dream similar to that of the past, but he is emotionally insensitive, and he has not been sure for a long time whether it is his own illusion.

Xie Qingcheng sighed softly and closed his eyes.

He wanted to wait for He Yu to come back, so he said to him, He Yu, would you still like to dance with me?

In that tavern, or right here.

Are you still willing?

He wanted to wait for He Yu to come back.

He wants to wait for He Yu to come back...

Xie Qingcheng waited minute by minute while thinking about it.

At the end, he just leaned on the sofa and fell asleep vaguely.

patter...

It seems to be raining outside.Amidst the sound of rain, he dreamed of He Yu's appearance when he was still studying at school. He Yu's smile was a bit youthful and naughty at that time, and there was a bit of cunning and viciousness in his gentle manner.

In his sleep, he seemed to have returned to the campus of Shanghai University four years ago. In the garden party, he and He Yu were also trapped on a fantasy island like this.

The island is a little far away from the school, and in the middle of the lake, He Yu used shielding devices to make it isolated from the world, which is actually very similar to the current situation.

They were driven into the cave by a heavy rain to shelter from the rain. In that cave, there were graffiti written by previous students, which was named "Secret Utopia". Refused.

He vaguely remembered what He Yu asked at that time: "Xie Qingcheng, don't you have any dreams?"

At that time, he felt that his life had no meaning, no possibilities, no expectations, no desires, so he never answered He Yu properly.

But at this moment, in the dream, he felt that after these four years, he finally had an answer.

He looked at the face of the young man in the cave, the cocoon in his heart was gently bitten open, and there were butterflies inside that were about to fly out with trembling wings——

"Yes. I have a wish." Unlike four years ago, he walked to He Yu's side in his dream, and stood side by side with that boy in front of the secret utopia.

"Then write it here." The boy handed him the stone.

Xie Qingcheng took the stone, but did not write anything on the cave wall.

He just turned around and looked at He Yu. After watching for a long time, he raised his hand and hugged the boy.

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, and there seemed to be tears of blood dripping from the end of his eyes.

He said: "I hope that one day, when I return to the Ferris wheel, I can see you again. He Yu."

Like throwing a coin in the wishing pool, the stone landed lightly on the ground.

In the next second, the ground suddenly turned into a frozen lake, and the lake surface melted into autumn water, and the ripples of the autumn water swayed away, and the ripples expanded infinitely, becoming a huge Ferris wheel full of radiance, shining finely in the rain in the night.

He hugged He Yu on the lake.

In the reflection of the lake, there is only a rag doll bear holding a balloon standing alone.

People come and go, people leave, it doesn't know if it can wait for the child who can say "Can you hug me", it doesn't know if it can wait for the boy with the same gentle eyebrows and eyes as before.

It's getting dark.

The playground is closing.

The puppet bear stood there dumbfounded, waiting for the last hope...

will you come back...

He Yu, you...

"Dang lang, dong lang—"

There was a slight tingling pain on his wrist, and Xie Qingcheng felt as if his foot had stepped on the ground, and he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

Outside the window, it really rained, and the slightly open window was filled with moist wind.

The morning light has broken, and the sun shines after the rain through the clouds. The light is very faint, just like the pale and feeble face of a long-term sick person.Xie Qingcheng calmed down his heartbeat and slowly came back to his senses.

He raised his wrist and saw that it was the modified Fengbo bracelet that was vibrating. He put it to his ear casually, connected it, and glanced at the clock on the wall at the same time.

It's already seven o'clock in the morning...

His heart sank heavily.

He Yu hasn't returned to his room yet.

"Hey."

"Hello, Xie Qingcheng." It was not He Yu who called him with a bracelet, but the commander in chief.

Xie Qingcheng's heart fell to the bottom, but he quickly responded: "I am here."

"He Yu tried to contact you with a wristband last night. It was about 03:30 in the morning. You didn't answer. He thought you must have fallen asleep. He has many eyes and ears around him, so he couldn't try more, so he contacted Headquarters." The commander-in-chief said, "He said he wanted to apologize to you, and he couldn't see you alone before the mission."

Xie Qingcheng was suffocating slightly, he was no longer concerned with the question of seeing each other, he asked: "What's wrong with He Yu? He didn't come back all night last night, what happened? Did he tell you guys?" ?”

"Don't worry, he's fine. But Mandela has developed a device to expand the influence of the blood gull, and he cooperated with them all night yesterday to perfect that device." The commander said, "Mandela Knowing that we will have a second attack soon, they want to complete the blood gu equipment before then, so they are racing against time."

Hearing that He Yu was fine, Xie Qingcheng was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, it was not the worst situation. If Duan Wen knew that He Yu and himself were going to take action this afternoon to destroy the most advanced weapon on the island, the Rapid Cold Light, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xie Qingcheng said: "Then I will contact him now..."

"You can't get in touch."

Xie Qingcheng was startled: "Why?"

"We couldn't get in touch either. After he finished the experiment, he had to turn on the deployed equipment and deal with what he was going to do today. These were the last rounds of investigations before the battle. He had to be very cautious, so he turned off all Access to him."

Xie Qingcheng gritted his teeth: "Then did he say when he will open the passage again?"

"It is estimated that it will be before the start of the mission." The commander-in-chief said, "Duan Wen and the others seem to have noticed something strange about him. He is being watched very closely. We have to find a way to paralyze the other party so as not to implicate you. If everything goes well, we will start to act." The time will be four o'clock in the afternoon, before that, you must have a good rest and wait patiently for his action at four o'clock."

"..."

The commander-in-chief didn't hear Xie Qingcheng's response, so he was a little anxious and asked, "Do you understand?"

"……Understood."

After Xie Qingcheng hung up the call, a deep sense of anxiety surged up.

He was very worried about He Yu.

But he also knew that he had no way to help He Yu right now. The commander-in-chief was right. Recharging his energy and waiting for He Yu's initiative to contact him was the only thing he could and should do at the moment.

After all, they didn't have much time to talk about their private affairs.

Time passed by, the sun emerged from behind the thick clouds, and was dimly covered by the clouds.

hour...and hour...

Xie Qingcheng was sitting in front of the desk, playing with his long fingers, staring at the retro alarm clock on the desk without blinking.

The dark clouds had completely dissipated, and the sky over Mandela Island was clear, but it was getting late, and the sun lost its most violent power, leaning lazily on the horizon.

It was already three fifty in the afternoon.

Xie Qingcheng made preparations before this. He put on contact lenses, changed into clothes that are convenient for movement, and finished wearing Fengbo's built-in earphones. He had recuperated enough and was only waiting for the last thing to do.

Three fifty-eight... Three fifty-nine...

click.

The engraved brass hour hand tremblingly points to the four o'clock position.

Xie Qingcheng held his breath and opened his eyes. When the time came, he waited for the door of the bedroom to be opened.

Tap, tap, tap... He heard footsteps, from far to near, from the end of the corridor to the door of his room, and stopped.

Xie Qingcheng stood up, his heart pounding, ready to cooperate with He Yu's response, but——

"Mr. Xie." The door opened with a creak, and Xie Qingcheng's face changed slightly when someone came.

Not He Yu.

It was the brainwashed crew girl, she opened her empty eyes and held her cleaning tool: "I'll clean up your room."

--at this time? !

Xie Qing felt uneasy, but he still stabilized the situation. The more critical the situation was, the more chaotic it would be. He pretended to respond calmly: "Take care of it."

The girl bowed lightly, and came in with her tools.

Like the hotel room service, He Yu's room is indeed cleaned by someone every day, but not on a regular basis. I didn't expect it to happen today.

Xie Qingcheng sat down, pretending to look down at a book, but in fact, he calmly used his peripheral vision and hearing to judge what the girl was doing and how long it would take for her to leave.

The cleaning time was not long, the girl cleaned it for about ten minutes, then mechanically bowed to Xie Qingcheng again, and left.

At this time, the time has pointed to four thirteen.

But He Yu still didn't show up, and the connection at the headquarters in the Fengbo system couldn't reach him either.Xie Qingcheng didn't know what happened in front of him, so he stood up and wandered around the window anxiously.The headquarters attacked at six o'clock, and the time left for them was not too much, but now it has been delayed by 13 minutes.

What happened to He Yu?

Xie Qingcheng was trapped in the fog, when he suddenly heard movement outside the door again, he suddenly turned his head——

"I'm sorry, sir."

Xie Qingcheng felt extremely disappointed as if a bucket of ice water had been poured into his stomach.

It turned out to be that girl again: "I forgot the washcloth in the shower room, can I get it?"

"……Go ahead."

The girl went, walked through the entire room, went to the innermost shower room and took her cleaning cloth, then returned to the door, greeted Xie Qingcheng again, and left.

Xie Qingcheng watched the heavy teak door snap shut behind her, her tense body relaxed a little, but her heart became more and more restless - tossing back and forth like this, another 5 minutes passed.

It was almost 04:30, and half an hour was wasted. Even the uneasy voice of the headquarters correspondent came from the headset: "Has He Yu not appeared yet?"

"not yet."

"It's terrible. It takes a certain amount of time to destroy the rapid cold light. If he doesn't get it done, I'm afraid the entire landing plan will be changed."

Xie Qingcheng was furious when he heard it, his lips moved very little, and he lowered his voice and said to the person in the headset: "Can't you try to contact him through the Fengbo system?"

The correspondent at the headquarters was a little embarrassed: "...He Yu has modified the Fengbo system, and he has mastered the control terminal of the earphone. It's not that you don't know his ability to write programs, he..."

Xie Qingcheng was about to swear, when he suddenly heard a hiss in the headset, and the awkward explanations of the headquarters correspondent who stumbled like shoelaces were suddenly interrupted.

After entering the channel, there was an extremely clear voice: "Xie Qingcheng, turn back."

Reflexively, he did as he was told, Xie Qingcheng's pupils suddenly shrank the moment he turned around, if the situation didn't allow it, he would have scolded outrageously.

It's outside the window!

There was a small helicopter hovering outside the window—it was the mechanical pegasus in the eyes of normal people. Xie Qingcheng had seen it from the window many times these days, but the distance was not so close.

At such a close distance, Xie Qingcheng thoroughly saw the structure of that helicopter.In order to cooperate with virtual reality projection, this small helicopter has been carefully designed. It is almost made of translucent materials. Under the aircraft is an open fuselage similar to a C shape. There are bulletproof and explosion-proof devices in front of the fuselage. arms.In addition, there are many flashing fluorescent emitters distributed on this small helicopter, which seems to be a fixed-point system for projection.

He Yu was sitting in the driver's seat, his black Mandela military uniform rattled by the wind after the rain, and Chen Man was behind him, who had been brought out by him, and was waving to Xie Qingcheng.

"Thank you brother!"

"Xie Qingcheng." He Yu looked at Xie Qingcheng's face against the sunlight outside the window.He stayed up for a whole day and night, and his face was a little haggard, but when he saw Xie Qingcheng, he still smiled, just because he didn't come back on time, and the night that he promised to be alone together, after all, it was because of some accident. , became a promise in the competition, and there was a hint of sadness hidden in his smile.

Originally, he had a lot to say, but at this moment, he can only say one thing: "...Sorry for the long wait."

Xie Qingcheng looked into his eyes——

"It's okay. You're fine."

The human heart is that the more you get, the easier it is to be dissatisfied, and the less you have, the easier it is to be satisfied.

Therefore, at this moment, Xie Qingcheng really felt that he had let go of all the worries he had been struggling with for a whole day and night. It was enough to see He Yu at this moment.Whether he came to the appointment last night was not the most important thing.

Thousands of words, lingering for a long time, it is better to say: "You are safe."

As long as you are safe, there will be many days to come.

After this mission is over, they will have countless days and nights to get along with each other.

According to the original plan, it was He Yu who managed to take them out of the basement, but now that the situation changed suddenly, He Yu actually chose the route in the sky.

The window opened, and He Yu controlled this special small helicopter to fly closer, making it easier for Xie Qingcheng to approach.

Xie Qingcheng: "Aren't you afraid that Mandela will find out?"

"This is my alternative plan. I did it yesterday. The virtual projection can fool the dreambreaker, and in turn, it can also fool Mandela." He Yu said, "I modified its projection If you’re more than five meters away, you won’t be able to see us on it. I’ll put a rope ladder, so come up quickly.”

Xie Qingcheng is in poor health, but his skills are good, so it is not a problem for him to pull the rope ladder out of capsized.But when he was moving, Chen Man couldn't help but said, "Brother, be careful of its wings, the feathers are very sharp."

But He Yu said: "Be careful not to touch the bulletproof glass."

Chen Man looked at He Yu with very puzzled eyes, as if he thought He Yu was crazy.

That's right, what Chen Man saw was the "Pegasus", only He Yu and himself saw the real helicopter.

This is a dialogue they can understand, and no one else can understand.In the end, only the same kind of Long Ming could understand and respond.

Xie Qingcheng noticed the way Chen Man looked at He Yu. Although Chen Man didn't have any malice, he just felt strange, but at that moment, Xie Qingcheng suddenly couldn't bear it.In those days without himself, He Yu insisted on the truth that only he knew, and was ridiculed and mistrusted by everyone, how lonely would it be?

At this moment, this lunatic in the eyes of everyone, against the wind, quietly looked at him with his reddened eyes in the cab against the wind. It was a look that was waiting for approval in the long solitude.

Xie Qingcheng thought, at this moment, He Yu doesn't have to wait any longer.

He said to He Yu: "Okay. I know."

The young man's eyes blinked, his eyelashes drooped quickly, his eye sockets seemed to be redder, but it wasn't because of exhaustion.

After the three of them assembled, He Yu controlled the small helicopter and headed in the direction of Rapid Cold Light.

Along the way, Chen Man and Xie Qingcheng explained why they were late.It turned out that Mandela had always kept a close eye on He Yu and the others. Obviously He Yu had confused the monitoring of obstacles that had to be dealt with yesterday, but before he started today, he discovered that there were several more in the dark.

After He Yu confused those, he realized that Mandela was very likely to carry out a surprise inspection of their actions. Sure enough, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the girl appeared, under the guise of cleaning to see if there was any abnormality in the house, and in a dozen or so A few minutes later, he shot back again, making sure that Xie Qingcheng was still in the room as usual.

"Although I adjusted the old monitoring process and replaced it into the screen, you can still see you reading in the bedroom on the monitor during the time we left. But they don't really believe in real-time monitoring." He Yu said, "We had to hurry up, so I changed my plan and didn't go to the basement."

Soon, the helicopter arrived above the woods, and swooped down from the golden clouds. They successfully arrived near the rapid cold light control room. It's dead people and hyenas... They are strapped with a lot of weapons, detonators, and projection positioning instruments one by one, and they all wear control rings on their foreheads.

He Yu patted him to make him look away from those half-decomposed corpses.

"Don't look at it." He said softly to him, "You can't change what has happened."

As he said that, he turned off the operating engine of the helicopter and got off the plane first, stepping on the ground with his combat boots, shaking up a thin layer of floating dust.

"Let's go."

The author has something to say:

small theater:

He Yu must really want to replace Chen Man with Zheng Jingfeng...

Mr. Duan: Then you should invest in our Metaverse project.

He Yu:?Why?

Mr. Duan: This project is well done. Everyone can change from a three-dimensional person to a two-dimensional person. Then everyone is a string of codes. Isn’t it cool?You are a hacker. At that time, top hackers could replace and change people at will. You can turn Chen Slow into a woman if you want.

He Yu: ... (I started to think seriously, and felt that Mandela's goal seemed really attractive...)

President Duan, a top lobbyist.

I don't know which eloquence is better between him and Yu Wu's Junshang...
