32 days

Yi Alan lost some weight, but after all, he was not abused during his detention, and the food he provided was nutritionally balanced. His emaciation was more due to his inner torment. After the release, the sluggish aura on his body has dissipated, and the whole person looks very energetic, especially his eyes, which seem to be more agile than ever.In the eyes of Luo Caiyun and Yan Fei, and in the eyes of Xiao Hao and Meng Qi, Yi Alan is still the same Yi Alan, a little thinner, but more melancholy and youthful.

Only a heavy blow came to Zhou Yan'an's heart, like a silent lightning in the dark night.

If anyone is like Zhou Yanan, who hugged Yi Alan in the 32 days not long ago, felt his bones, and saw his rosy face because of excitement or embarrassment, he will see it again at this moment Yi Alan couldn't help but feel terrified.

Zhou Yan'an finally led Yi Alan once again through the stone road in the forest from the luxuriant foliage to the dead branches and snow, leaving the tidy administrative office building behind, and returned to their dormitory.

The door was pushed open with the turn of the key, and the room slowly opened.It is difficult to describe the hearts of these two people at this moment in words.

Yi Alan seems to be returning to the home she has been away for a long time, the important thing is the feeling of home.But for Zhou Yan'an, it's not about returning to a certain place, but a certain thing, a certain inner emotion has returned, just like a gust of wind blowing in and the smell of clear snow in the wind.

In the past month, Zhou Yan'an lived alone.He should have been used to living alone. After losing his parents when he was young, even if he lived in the house of relatives who were very affectionate to him, it was impossible for him to fully integrate into it.He had been alone in the world since that horrific explosion as a child.

He seldom cooks by himself anymore, and eats in the canteen directly to save time.After all, cooking is a rather cumbersome task, starting from thinking about how many dishes to make and what to cook, to choosing dishes, cleaning, processing, cooking, considering seasonings, waiting for the heat to be perfect, serving them on the table, and then to the after-thoughts. Garbage disposal, cleaning dishes, there is nothing that does not require effort.

As for what to save time for, he didn't know.Now it’s not as busy as it was when he first joined the affairs team. Zhou Yan’an has mastered several common types of fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft. With the assistance of the intelligent driving system, he can fly in some dangerous environments like a professional pilot.Usually after the daily training is over, the sun has not yet set, and when we return to the residence, there are still a lot of nights to consume.

Zhou Yan'an thought in the night, he didn't always think about Yi Alan who was locked up in another building, and the divergence of his thoughts was often uncontrollable.For example, he can't help but wonder what kind of person finds happiness in cooking.

His former psychiatrists all advised him to maintain a pleasant and peaceful hobby, such as tea, calligraphy, fishing, cooking, and so on.Zhou Yan'an chose to cook among the options given. If he had to give a reason, it would probably be that he has to eat even if he doesn't need hobbies.

In the past few years after retiring from the military, Zhou Yan'an seemed to feel emotionally peaceful during the cooking process.However, in these cold winter nights, Zhou Yan'an had to admit that it was all false.It is the medicine that has a real healing effect on the physiology, and it is his strong self-control that calms down his heart. Even if he doesn't cook, even if he doesn't do anything, just sitting there meditating, he will still feel that false feeling. Tranquility is like a sea surface that is calm on the surface when the undercurrent surges, reflecting the blue sky and making it look extraordinarily beautiful.

However... Zhou Yanan's thinking turned again, and he slowly went back in time. After going back again and again, he also had to admit that during the time when he and Yi Alan lived together, cooking seemed to have a magical power.In the sound of clanging kitchen utensils, the magical power belatedly revealed the "breath of life" emphasized by the psychiatrist, and condensed this diffuse breath of life on a concrete object, so that the senses could be overwhelmed. Dull, ignorant humans limited to five no longer miss precious things.Those were Yi Alan's sparkling eyes full of expectation.

When thinking has gone through too many divergent paths and finally reached this step, Zhou Yan'an should also understand what is really magical.

Now, the magic is back.

The action of force is reciprocal, and so is magic.

Yi Alan thinks that there is no happier time than now, when the burden in her heart is relieved, Xiao Hao, who hasn't seen him for a long time, will greet him with a little surprise. Meng Qi's eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses are rare and obvious. He called to express his thanks, and Yi Alan thought her voice was very nice.What's more, Zhou Yan'an is close at hand, and the feelings between the two of them have not been clarified in this world, it is a tacit understanding without words.

They, not only Yi Alan, but also Zhou Yan'an clearly noticed that on the 32nd and the world in front of them, they would unconsciously behave differently. On the 32nd, people are bold, outgoing, and enthusiastic; here, everyone seems to be very restrained.

To find out the most direct superficial reason, Yi Alan would say that it should be that the cruel work launched a devastating charge before some bold things sprouted and seized all the time.

It was all because Luo Caiyun told Chen Ruming that she thought it would be possible for Yi Alan to start trying to get in touch with the drone formation.

Chen Ruming raised his eyebrows as if to express doubts, but he didn't say anything in the end.Then, after Yi Alan rested for a week, he began to work with arduous study as the main body.

The drone Luo Caiyun mentioned is not a civilian drone as big as a washbasin, but a military drone that is large in size, versatile in use, equipped with high-precision instruments and equipped with thermal weapons, and controlled by radio and intelligent programs. .In fact, most of the military drones are distributed in various military bases and destroyed as the clearance operation proceeds.

However, in the central region, there is a secret drone formation, including nearly a hundred multi-purpose drones, including unmanned reconnaissance drones, unmanned fighter jets, electronic jamming drones, and integrated reconnaissance and strike drones. machine.The UAV formation has a variety of combinations. A few dispatched can complement each other, and most dispatched can also operate in an orderly manner. It can quickly respond to all parts of the country and carry out emergency tasks such as investigation and combat.

And on the 32nd, when the population is declining, mastering this drone formation means mastering absolute military strength.

But everything should be done step by step. At the beginning, Chen Ruming only gave Yi Alan a control password for a small array containing four drones.Even if this is the case, drones can also be counted as the movement and control of robots and artificial intelligence, which can be regarded as half of Yi Alan's professional field, which is enough for him to learn and digest for a long time.

For those who are not interested in this, learning these things is actually very boring, but Yi Alan thought that when he can perfectly control these drones, there will be many dangerous tasks that do not need to be too delicate. More power than ever before.

Occasionally, he took an extravagant errand, and Yi Alan thought that the accompanying problems brought about by the 32nd might be completely solved one day. He and Zhou Yan'an retired with success, but they had inexplicably acquired a bunch of powerful professional skills.

Yan Fei passively withdrew from the emergency affairs team on the 32nd, and the Intelligence Bureau submitted several lists, asking Luo Caiyun to choose one to replace Yan Fei's functional position in the affairs team, and to fully connect the intelligence bureau's resources with the affairs team.

Luo Caiyun already had a choice in mind, she didn't pay much attention to the list, and was more concerned with sorting out some materials left by Yan Fei.

One of the top-secret files made Luo Caiyun smile knowingly, and once again expressed regret that the organization would lose Yan Fei for a few years.

The file records that Yan Fei recruited an informant seven years ago, code-named Pomfret, real name Rui Tao, an applied psychologist, and his later research was biased towards social psychology.

The discovery of the intelligence value of this informant may have been accidental, but strictly speaking, it was because of Yan Fei's prudence and outstanding observation and judgment.Seven or eight years ago, Yan Fei led the investigation of spies from other countries who had infiltrated the country, and it was quite effective, adding another merit to his resume.When summing up afterwards, Yan Fei was keenly aware of the abnormal behavior trajectory of one of the spies. After in-depth and meticulous investigation, he broke through numerous obstacles and finally located Rui Tao.

When Rui Tao chose to study psychology with great enthusiasm when he was young, he could not have imagined that his future fate would be so turbulent.

The first misfortune happened to a moderate official, who couldn’t fall asleep because he had too many things in his heart, and his unsustainable spirit made him make frequent mistakes during the day, and in order to cover up his mistakes, he was deeply involved in some transactions, so he had to let Rui Tao prescribes some sleeping pills, and then develops into door-to-door psychological counseling and hypnosis.Gradually, Rui Tao was forced to learn some secrets that he didn't want to know, but he couldn't get off the boat because of his power. He was paid a hefty fee for his doctor's visits.

This person later introduced Rui Tao to his superiors. When Rui Tao met with them, he was always searched and guaranteed not to bring any electronic recording equipment. In this way, what they were about to confide would not count as being there The world is gone.

Rui Tao thought at first, why do these people still need psychological counseling, as if they still have a conscience.However, Rui Tao soon realized that the reason they had trouble falling asleep was not because they felt guilty about what they had done in the past, but because they were panicked about the possibility of future exposure.

The second accident happened when a spy from country D came to the door.This person was staring at a corrupt high-ranking official. This kind of greedy and irreversible person is the best to buy.Coincidentally, this official was one of Rui Tao's customers. The agents of country D saw the value of Rui Tao's special status, and persuaded Rui Tao to serve him, instigate them to rebel against more people when they are undergoing psychological treatment, or threaten them by collecting their criminal evidence, just like he is doing to Rui Tao at this moment do the same.

Later, this person promised intimidating words that, based on your current situation, you will either be investigated one day, or you will be silently silenced one day, and work for me. When you are exposed in the future, we will arrange for you to leave the country secretly, so that Avoid legal sanctions or artificial retaliation.

Rui Tao has reason to believe that many people must have said his rhetoric countless times.

Rui Tao thought about exposing this person and those people to get out of the deeper and deeper quagmire, but he immediately found that he had fallen into an impenetrable network of relationships, with pairs of eyes staring at him quietly. actions, there will be disasters.Rui Tao gave in again.

The third time was a turnaround.Yan Fei recruited Rui Tao and set up a secret channel for him to send messages upwards.Yan Fei knew about Rui Tao's involvement with those officials and the relationship between Rui Tao and the agents of country D. He hoped that Rui Tao could continue to deal with the two parties and pass the obtained information to the Intelligence Bureau. record on file.This incident became the only ray of light in Rui Tao's dark life.

In the final analysis, he is not a villain, he is just bound to freedom by his irresistible power, and then he is forced to witness the ghosts and monsters dancing in the dark corners.Those magical, evil and unrealistic facts often make Rui Tao feel lost and feel that existence has no meaning.He made a diagnosis for himself, had seen too much ugliness, and needed light as a support.Serving the country, the great and lofty ideals are his pinnacle in the sea of ​​chaos.

Over the years, Rui Tao has been doing very well.Relying on the information he got from him, Yan Fei has mastered some secret spies bought by other countries, and sometimes he can infer from the overall movements of these people who they want to do, so as to prevent them in advance.

After appearing on the 32nd, Rui Tao reported to Yan Fei that he could enter the 32nd, and then established the Scavenger Organization under Yan Fei's instruction.Doing this is not just to further collect the criminal facts of some people-those people seem to be immersed in the dream of power, and they really think that the Scavenger Organization has too many interests involved and are protected, so they can safely entrust the Scavenger Organization to 32 Going to destroy the shady things every day, as for the reality, it is under control.

On the other hand, the greater significance of the Scavenger Organization is to restrict a group of unstable 32nd people.Most of the 32-day workers who were recruited by Rui Tao and are willing to continue working for him are those who need money or are unstable. They may have also found that the tasks they received were not fair, but they did not choose to quit due to various reasons. Get rich muffled.Although such people do not commit crimes under the restrictions of the rules and regulations, they often do not do good things because they are small, and do evil when they are small. Once they encounter major social turmoil, they will easily go to the road of polarization.

The Scavenger Organization ensured that they would not lose control or be maliciously guided during the turmoil brought about on the 32nd.After all, when these people have nothing, they are likely to commit crimes or even treason for 20 yuan, but when they have [-] yuan, they are more inclined to keep their own.

This can be said to have solved a big problem for the affairs team. The government cannot spare so much manpower to supervise and investigate these people, nor can it be used for its own use.It cannot be ignored that in addition to dealing with the 32nd, the government also has to maintain the normal operation of the entire country.Fortunately, the situation in other countries is similar, and there is no imbalance in power due to the transfer of a group of important officials to deal with the 32nd.

For Rui Tao on the 32nd, it was a disaster.At first, he thought he was finally unable to bear it and went crazy, but later he found out that another mirror was added to his already chaotic life. The world he saw became a kaleidoscope with the main color being dark, and he couldn't tell where it was. One side is more real. The psychological pillar he once built may collapse one day.

So he found Tian Lu, a junior with strong professional ability, although he told Tian Lu that his illness was actually a social disease, not a personal one.You can't cure me, and you can't cure society by yourself.Without exception, these words made Tian Lu feel strange, but Rui Tao always had hope that when he fell into the boundless darkness, someone could find him in time.

Just like festive songs start to play in shopping malls, the news focuses on the wave of returning home, merchants hoard supplies, and social animals talk about holidays, the new year is always coming.And people always have hope for new things.
