Spy Family

(Thanks to the leader: nocrykyle.)

The waiting area of ​​the space station is similar to ordinary waiting rooms and waiting halls, except that it is larger in scale and has windows showing blue sky and white clouds, and even wisps of breeze blowing through. Everything is imitating the scene on the surface of the planet to prevent anyone from feeling claustrophobic. Feeling uncomfortable at high altitudes.

Lu Linbei checked in his luggage and then went to the designated area to wait for boarding. The chip in his body reminded him that he would have to wait for about an hour.

In order to stop his random thoughts, Lu Linbei carefully observed the passengers around him. He was a little surprised to find that interstellar travel attracted many ordinary people, including couples and families. The children were running around like anywhere, pestering their parents and asking: "We Are we in the sky? Are we really in the sky? Where can we see the ground?"

The adults rarely laughed and whispered to each other.

"Why are we fighting? We're so far apart, isn't it good for everyone to live their own lives?" said a man sitting next to Lu Linbei. When he received no response, he turned to the passengers on the other side.

Even before the Joint Committee officially declared war, many people had already heard the news and were even ready to flee.

Lu Linbei felt funny. Even if King Zhai and King Ming start a war, they will not be able to reach their respective planets for a while. The more likely scenario is to compete for space stations and interstellar transportation lines. These "escapees" happen to enter the most dangerous places. .

He used the chip in his body to search for relevant news, and sure enough, rumors about the war were emerging one after another. All the rebuttals were drowned out. Countless people called on Huang Tongke to speak out, hoping that he could preside over the overall situation.

Some news noticed the rich people who were preparing to flee and unceremoniously called them "traitors." A news article listed the destinations of the tickets and pointed out that the destination of most rich people was Zhaowangxing, which is a tourist resort and is far away from the war. shadow.

The big screen in the waiting area is playing real-time news, and there are parades everywhere. The parade in Zhaijing City has broken through the Central Avenue and is spreading to the whole city. Many people in other cities also took to the streets, holding a large number of slogans, among which Huang Tongke's Big avatar.

As one of the most important political figures in Zhai Wangxing, Huang Tongke has been famous for a long time, but this time, his reputation has risen a lot, and he has become a unique force. The rapid rise has surprised many people.

Lu Linbei was also surprised, because he clearly heard that the Huang family did not want to provoke a war, but only wanted to use war slogans to appease people, and at the same time manipulate the stock market to gain profits for themselves. Suddenly, the Huang family seemed to have become a steadfast militant faction. .

Lu Linbei couldn't tell whether it was the Huang family's sail that took advantage of the crowd's wind, or whether the strong wind from the parade threatened the Huang family's sail. In the past, he would have explored it, but now he has little interest.

He finished surfing the Internet and stared blankly at the big screen, gradually turning a blind eye. He always felt that Chen Manchi seemed to be among the people marching.

After being photographed twice, Lu Linbei reacted and was surprised to see Lu Yezhou standing in front of him with a smile.

"It's just a parade scene. Are you so fascinated by it?"

"How did you come?"

"Oh, it's hard to explain. Let's go sit down in the restaurant. My real sister is here too."

Lu Linbei was even more surprised, "Third uncle sent you here?"

"Yes and no." Lu Yezhou gave a strange answer.

There were many customers sitting in the restaurant. Mei Wangzhen was guarding a small table in the corner and raised his arms to wave to the two of them.

The food has been delivered to the table, but the price of ordinary instant meals is more than ten times more expensive. Lu Yezhou sighed: "Is the price directly proportional to the height? The food here is more expensive than the restaurant on the top floor of the Diplomatic Building."

"Eat yours." Mei Wangzhen said.

"Why are you here?" Lu Linbei asked again, this time forgetting his truth.

"We are exiled."

"exile?"

"Yes, the police said there was insufficient evidence and released us. Before we returned to the Emergency Department, our third uncle sent us an order to board the ship to Zhao Wangxing. He even bought the tickets for us." Mei Wangzhen looked at what was in front of him. Food, swallowed without intention.

Lu Yezhou ate for a while, then put down his fork and said, "The war is about to begin. It's the best time to be promoted for meritorious service, but we are sent to King Zhao, a planet that has nothing to do with war. Isn't this just exile?"

"Many people are rushing to go to Zhao Wangxing." Lu Linbei glanced at the customers around him.

"That's different. They have everything, so they are afraid of losing. We basically have nothing, so we have to fight for it." Lu Yezhou clenched his fist, then sighed and continued to eat.

"Where are the others?" Lu Linbei asked again.

"No one told us, it must be about the same." Mei Wang's true meaning was waning.

The three of them ate in silence for a while, and Lu Yezhou said, "What happened to Director Xue? She thought she could withstand the pressure, but in the end she couldn't even protect herself and affected so many people. Old Bei was still smart and avoided a dispute. "

Mei Wangzhen said sternly: "This is revenge for the old man."

"I understand, I..." Lu Yezhou put down his fork again, unable to eat any more, "The old man left at the wrong time. It seems... without his backbone, Director Xue seems unreliable. Third uncle, alas, what happened to third uncle?" What are you thinking about?"

"You want to save our lives." Mei Wangzhen said coldly, then looked at Lu Linbei, "You still insist on your original view?"

"Um."

"So you're going to Uranus to find her?"

Lu Linbei didn't quite understand the exact intention of his third uncle in "exiling" these two people, but since they met, he believed there must be a reason, "I want to intercept her on the Jingwei."

Lu Yezhou looked a little shy, as if he had heard something crazy, but was too embarrassed to point it out. He whispered, "But she has been setting off for a long time, and you can't catch her."

Lu Linbei showed a smile and said, "Let's talk about it when we get to the Jingwei."

Mei Wangzhen still stared at Lu Linbei, "How sure are you?"

"It's not about 'certainty', it's a fact." Lu Linbei didn't want to argue. He lowered his head and continued eating until he finished all the food on the plate. He couldn't remember the last time he ate.

"I can stay on the Latitude and Longitude for a few days, if you need help." Mei Wangzhen suggested.

Lu Linbei raised his head.

Lu Yezhou also said: "Yes, we are still a team, and Sister Zhen is the team leader. We have to find out everything. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to go to that ghost place Zhao Wangxing."

Maybe this is the third uncle’s intention? Lu Linbei thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou respectively, "I need help, very much."

There was a sudden commotion outside and soon spread to the restaurant. Many customers stopped eating, stood up and looked outside, exchanging names in a low voice: "Ru Hongshang, it's really her, look..."

Lu Linbei and others also looked outside, only to see a long queue. It was unclear who was the bodyguard and who was the passenger, and they couldn't see the people surrounded in the middle. However, calls kept coming from outside, calling her by her full name. Some called her "Miss Ru", "Girl in Red Shang", and some called her out for her representative roles.

"Where is she going? The war won't affect her." Lu Yezhou said in surprise, unable to hold back his curiosity, he stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Mei Wangzhen didn't care about what was going on outside. He gently stirred the food in front of him with his fork, but without eating a bite, he suddenly asked: "Don't you have any evidence? Or do you mean you don't want to tell us?"

Lu Linbei hesitated for a moment, took out the headband from his pocket, held it in his hand and showed it to Mei Wangzhen.

"Is this Chen Manchi's?"

"Well, I found it in a fortune-telling shop. She used it to carve a word on the wall, Guan."

Mei Wangzhen opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't believe it, and soon his expression returned to normal. Facing this little bit of evidence provided by Lu Linbei, if it were the third uncle and others, they would definitely feel that it was far from enough, but Mei Wangzhen felt that it was enough. .

"So the Mei family made an extremely stupid mistake, which cost the old man his life and was manipulated by the murderer."

"Guan Zhuqian has been planning for a long time. In order to cover up, he even pretended to leave King Zhai. It is indeed difficult to see through."

"You see through it. If Third Uncle takes charge of the situation, he can do it too." Mei Wangzhen smiled slightly, "You are Third Uncle's best student. You can always see higher and more, instead of focusing on the family. This little thing."

"I'm looking at something smaller than my family right now."

Mei Wangzhen leaned forward slightly, "I will find Chen Manchi, I promise."

"Thanks."

Lu Yezhou came back, probably out of breath after fighting with the crowd, "She was being interviewed, saying that she was a pacifist and was willing to serve as a goodwill ambassador and go to the famous star to resolve the conflict between the two stars and prevent the war. Happened. Do you believe her?"

Mei Wangzhen said indifferently: "She is an actress, she can say anything."

Lu Linbei smiled and did not answer. He guessed that Ru Hongshang must have fled King Zhai to "dodge debts" because of heavy losses in investment.

A soft voice prompting boarding came from the hall, and Lu Linbei's internal chip also received the reminder, so he said: "It's time for me to board the ship, what about you?"

"We are the next batch." Lu Yezhou replied.

"See you on board the Longitude and Latitude."

"Wait a minute." Mei Wangzhen stood up, followed by Lu Yezhou, "The three of us are considered a group, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Linbei nodded.

"Of course, we have been a team before. How well we work together, Sister Zhen..."

Mei Wangzhen interrupted Lu Yezhou, "I recommend Lao Bei to be the team leader and I am willing to listen to his command. What is your opinion?"

Lu Linbei was stunned, but did not refuse.

Lu Yezhou was even more surprised. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately smiled and said: "Support, Lao Bei deserves the title. Should I call him Team Leader Bei or Team Leader Lin?"

Lu Linbei shook hands with the two men again, said goodbye and left, finding the team boarding the ship.

In the restaurant, Lu Yezhou asked in a low voice: "Sister Zhen, do you really want Lao Bei to be the team leader?"

"You don't agree?"

"Of course I agree. I have admired Lao Bei's ability since I was a child, but... without the order from the department and the instructions from the third uncle, can we decide who is the team leader in private? After all, your position is higher."

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said: "But Si Li and Third Uncle didn't prohibit us from doing anything. They only gave us two boat tickets, and we happened to meet Lao Bei. I think we can do whatever we want, including electing the team leader."

"Right."

"You seem reluctant."

Lu Yezhou frowned while smiling, "Lao Bei must be a good team leader. Let me tell the truth, he may be more qualified than the old man, but I am sure that the old man will lead us to rise step by step. I am not so fond of Old Bei." Sure."

Mei Wangzhen shook his head, disdainful of discussing such issues.

Lu Linbei queued up to enter the passenger area of ​​the spaceship, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary until he entered the sleeping cabin.

The cabin was small and so clean that it was a bit dazzling. The thought of sleeping here for several days made him panic. He imagined more than a dozen murder scenes in a few seconds, but his body was still under his control. According to the staff on the screen, As instructed, take off your outer clothes, put on special protective clothing, and lie down in the sleeping cabin.

"Wish you a good dream." The staff said as usual, his voice as soft as a dream and as ruthless as a machine.

"I will." Lu Linbei said. The moment he closed his eyes, he remembered another instruction from his third uncle.

"Mark my words, if you just want to save people, be prepared to do it alone; if it means bringing peace or winning a war, there will be many people helping you."

Lu Linbei fell asleep quickly, hoping to see the person he missed in his dream.
