Spy Family

The night breeze blows, and the huge leaves make strange sounds. The human voices that were originally blocked outside now sneak into the courtyard, losing all meaning, and turn into bursts of insect chirping.

Mei Wangzhen just walked out of the house, a little unaccustomed to the outside environment, tightened his collar and said: "I'm so sorry, I didn't pay attention to Ye Zi and caused you trouble. This is your first day in Zhao Wangxing. "

"It has nothing to do with Sister Zhen, and I don't blame Ye Zi." Lu Linbei smiled and looked up at the leaves in the dim light. He wanted to know the type of tree, but did not ask, "Some things are destined to happen from the beginning. You can't escape when you encounter it. Ever since I was able to enter the machine and use this ability over and over again, I should have expected trouble to follow me all the way. The cause of the past is now the result, so there is nothing to complain about."

Mei Wangzhen originally had many things to say, but now he felt that they were all unnecessary. After a long silence, he said, "On the spaceship, I once said that I didn't completely believe you."

"Yes, Sister Zhen said."

"Now I believe you."

Lu Linbei turned around and smiled: "Why?"

"For no reason, I just feel that you wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing." Mei Wangzhen leaned forward, avoiding Lu Linbei with his eyes, and said to Chen Manchi on the other side: "I'll say a few words to Lao Bei, what's on my mind?" I hope you don’t mind what I said.”

"You don't mind, I can go back upstairs first..."

Mei Wangzhen immediately said: "No need, just a few words, nothing to carry on your back."

Chen Manchi didn't insist, and still stayed by her husband's side, holding one of his hands tightly.

"Since I believe you, I can tell you some things." Mei Wangzhen said.

"Yeah." Lu Linbei waited for her to continue.

"I won't say which ones are facts and which ones are speculations, and I won't say where the news comes from. Don't ask, either."

"good."

Mei Wangzhen was silent for a while, as if he was still making last-minute weighings and judgments, "The Military Intelligence Office has an extremely important insider on Jiazi Star..."

"Lin Weifeng?" Lu Linbei guessed.

Mei Wangzhen showed a trace of anger, "Do you have to know?"

Lu Linbei knew that he had guessed correctly and said with a smile: "Shut up."

Mei Wangzhen seemed to want to leave, but after hesitation, he stayed and continued: "In short, the Military Intelligence Department can obtain high-quality intelligence on Jiazi Star through this insider, especially the war with the Jingwei, which provides The intelligence is not only accurate, but also timely, which is of great help to the military."

"Because the Jingwei is supported by Guihai, their plans are all controlled by Jiazixing."

"right."

"The Longitude and Latitude don't seem to know about it."

"It should be unknown, because the Military Intelligence Department did not use all the intelligence, but selectively and deliberately pressed some to confuse the enemy."

"Like the first counterattack of the Longitude and Latitude?"

"Don't ask me." Mei Wangzhen said sternly.

Lu Linbei nodded, "I always have a habit of asking for clarification. Sister Zhen, please continue talking."

"On the Jingwei, Wu Xiushi told you to launch a cyber attack at a designated time, but the intelligence obtained by the Military Intelligence Office said that the attack would be earlier. Facts have proved that the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Office was more accurate. The fleet blocked the attack and launched a counterattack. Following the clues, we found The chip location of the Latitude and Longitude.”

"Then what?"

"The chip was destroyed."

"In that case, why does the news say that the fleet is still surrounding the Longitude?"

"Because it was so completely destroyed, we didn't even have time to confirm how many programmers were inside the chip."

"Too much success is also a problem."

"Well, the programmer doesn't even have any remains. If he disappears, he disappears. The fleet has to continue to surround the airspace and conduct a detailed and comprehensive search. I haven't heard of any results yet."

"It sounds like Guihai is deliberately provoking a war between the Jingwei and King Zhai. According to this, it is possible that not all the programmers of the Jingwei have disappeared, because that is not in line with Guihai's current interests."

"It's possible, but it can't be confirmed."

"So Lin Weifeng is a double agent who specializes in leaking information that is beneficial to Guihai."

"Don't mention his name."

"yes."

"It is also impossible to confirm. Today's intelligence community is in chaos. It is difficult to distinguish someone's true position. Naturally, we cannot make too high demands. Speaking of you, the source of the intelligence I just obtained should also be from Jiazi Xing."

"Jia Zixing reminded Zhai Wangxing's Military Intelligence Department that someone was trying to lure me into the network under the pretext of a terrorist attack?"

"It was Jiazixing's intelligence officer who reminded us. The intelligence said that this attack was secretly supported by Jiazixing."

"What a complicated plan, trying to lure me in while also quietly sending out a warning."

"So, it's hard to say whether that intelligence agent was a double agent."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, both thinking. Chen Manchi coughed slightly to express his presence, and then whispered: "I understand roughly. Intelligence officer Zhai Wangxing sent a reminder, but it's too late. Bei has already entered the network, so this reminder has no practical value, right?"

Mei Wangzhen smiled and said: "What you understand is not approximate. Well, this reminder comes a bit late, but this cannot be completely blamed on the intelligence agents. The bureaucracy of the Military Intelligence Department has a greater responsibility, and the intelligence may come early. In the eyes of the recipient, its importance level is relatively low, so it will be packaged with other information, transferred normally, and reported step by step, which will delay a lot of time."

"Why is this piece of information not important?" Chen Manchi was very surprised, and then he understood, "Because this happened on King Zhao, and because it concerns Lao Bei, not a certain big shot."

Chen slowly looked at her husband. In her eyes, this man was more important than anything else.

"All agencies are bound to be a bit stuck in the past, and the Military Intelligence Department is no exception. The question now is, why did Jiazixing lure you into the network? Old Bei, do you have any clues yourself?"

Lu Linbei shook his head gently, "I can't even guess now. Ever since I went to Jiazi Star, weird things have happened one after another."

"Because every party and everyone takes a fancy to your ability, or wants to use it, or wants to seize it. Haven't I also used you? But we are all the same, treating you as a pure tool and never asking for help. You explain why, so no wonder there are many 'weird things' in your eyes."

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "Sister Zhen is explaining it to me, and there is more than one explanation."

"Look how pitiful you are, and Chichi, who follows you on adventures but doesn't even know what the danger is."

Chen Manchi leaned forward and said: "It's usually boring, but it's good to take risks occasionally, especially with the help of Sister Zhen."

"Don't count on me on this matter. The help I can provide is almost there, there is no more. Lao Bei, what are you going to do?"

"Well... I told Ye Zi that I will never enter the Internet again. So, my solution is to do nothing. Also, Sister Zhen, don't blame Ye Zi. His position is not as high as yours, and he knows less information... …”

"He is just a fool. He has nothing to do with his position. He is so easily deceived. He doesn't even think about why people ask him for help for no reason. But I won't blame him. It is good for Ye Zi to be fooled occasionally. It will make the other party think that the information has never been Leak. Lao Bei, are you really going to stop entering the Internet again?"

"Yes, if others can solve the problem using normal means, I can too. Entering the Internet is a shortcut, but I just recognize this road. I know nothing about why this road is formed and what traps are hidden. With At the same time, more and more people are familiar with this shortcut, and they know more and more deeply than I do. Now, it is difficult for me to hide in the Internet, and every step is monitored. The longer I stay in it, the greater the harm."

Mei Wangzhen took out a small box from her pocket and placed it in the empty space between her and Lu Linbei, "I said before that after arriving at King Zhai, someone will give you an injection. I didn't expect that when I returned home, It’s a luxury.”

Lu Linbei picked up the small box and held it in his hand without saying anything.

Mei Wangzhen took back the instruments on the chair, stood up and said: "It may be a good thing not to return to King Zhai. Star Zhao is very chaotic, but in Tiantang City, the influence of the Military Intelligence Office is greater than on this planet. So, enjoy your vacation. ."

Lu Linbei nodded, and Chen Manchi said, "Thank you, Sister Zhen."

Watching Mei Wangzhen disappear behind the tree, Chen said slowly: "Fortunately, you have a friend like Sister Zhen."

Lu Linbei opened his palm and revealed the small box inside, "She is an investigator first, a family member second, and a friend last."

"Huh?" Chen Manchi didn't quite understand what her husband wanted to say.

Lu Linbei didn't want to explain, so he opened the small box and said, "It can help me reduce my dependence on the Internet."

"What does that feel like?"

Inside the small box was a disposable syringe, which looked like a small button. Lu Linbei held it carefully in his hand and pointed it at his neck, "How does the injection feel?"

"I mean, what does it feel like to be dependent on the Internet?"

Lu Linbei kept raising his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Back on Jiazi Planet, how did you feel when you entered someone else's body?"

"I felt dizzy, like I was drunk. Looking back now, I feel uncomfortable."

"I really envy your brain. I feel exactly the opposite to you. The Internet is like a sedative. The longer I stay in it, the more peaceful and comfortable I feel. But when I first come back to my body, I feel dizzy."

"Does this mean...you should be a programmer?"

"Haha." Lu Linbei pressed the syringe on his neck, feeling a slight pain. After waiting for a few seconds, he took off the syringe, returned it to the small box, and then put it all in his pocket. "This means that my brain is susceptible to In the final analysis, the source of everything is that game. The so-called realism, the so-called peace and comfort are all illusions produced by the brain. Just like drugs, even if the body has rotted, the drug user will still feel as if he is in the clouds. Feel no pain.”

"Terrible."

"Well, humans need a little pain. It can remind us what danger is and what it means to be alive."

Chen Manchi looked at her husband affectionately, wanting to tell him that her pain was just not being able to see him.

"Idiot." Such a word came out of Lu Linbei's mouth.

Feeling cold water poured on her, Chen Manchi said blankly: "Are you talking about me?"

Lu Linbei was even more confused than she was, "This is not what I want to say..."

"Idiot, these are my words, talking about you, Lu Linbei." Lu Linbei called out his name. It was clearly his voice, but his tone was completely different.

"Horse wandering?" Lu Linbei shuddered, feeling as if a caterpillar had gotten into his mouth and was crawling deeper.
