Chapter 9 Chapter 7 Sleepless Tonight

"Okay, do you have any questions?" Ban Mingzhuo looked at the members of Group A in the hall, and his eyes clearly revealed the message that I am sleepy and don't bother me anymore.Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Xiao Shi suddenly said: "Didn't you say there are thirteen people in total, why are there only twelve here?" Fat Liu stretched out his fingers, counted and counted against the projection, and raised his head and said, "Really, there are only twelve!" Ban Mingzhuo stroked his stubble-covered chin: "It was said that there were thirteen, and the other party did book thirteen tickets, but all the actions were just twelve of them, and the thirteenth person never showed up." However, there is no information about him, as if he is an invisible person."

"Could it be that he can really be invisible?" Walnut said a little scared, "It would be terrible if he suddenly startled you from behind!" "Don't worry, even if he can become invisible, he can also be sensed with super-sense." Lu Chanjuan comforted. "That's right! We can also raise a dog! Kill him!" Tangka said cheerfully. He is a dog fanatic and has always wanted to raise a dog in Group A. He also said that he can cultivate "the first special super dog in the new century." Read "Battle Dogs" for the benefit of mankind.But Jiang Zhenchuan was afraid that the dog would damage his vegetable garden, so he never agreed.

"No..." Nian Xiaoru's face changed, she was the kind of girl whose legs would go limp when seeing a dog. "Don't worry, Lao Jiang won't let him raise him..." Sang Ruoying patted her on the shoulder. "It's not bad to have a dog. Anyway, it doesn't cost much. I like pugs. How about you little demon..." Fat Liu scratched his head. "I like a bigger and fatter one, maybe it will be smarter, and I can train it to play Go with me..." Xiao Ya smiled. "Ah! Smelly little demon, who do you call a dog?!" "Okay, let's disband if you have nothing to do, go back and prepare the dog... Oh, no, luggage." Ban Mingzhuo said seriously.

"Beep beep beep!" Nian Xiaoru opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the small alarm clock next to the pillow, it was exactly two o'clock in the middle of the night. "Well, it's time to act..." Mumbling to herself, she rubbed her eyes and got up.First push the door open a crack, and only after making sure that there is no one outside, slipped gently into the corridor.The whole body floated in the air with the power of thought, and swam forward lightly. "Very well, I didn't make a sound at all. After all, the two years in Group B were not in vain..." Nian Xiaoru thought proudly.Suddenly the nightgown was scratched by something, and there was a big tear with a "Gah--", the smile on Nian Xiaoru's face suddenly froze, and he just stood there for a long time, making sure that there was no movement before taking a long look. relieved.

"It's a bad start..." She thought dejectedly, "Next time I must change into tights, at worst, I will wear a bikini..." Just like that, she carried her nightgown and floated across the corridor. After knocking down a palm tree and overturning two pots of spider plants, she finally arrived safely at her destination—the kitchen. "There is no way..." Nian Xiaoru rubbed her swollen forehead and said, "How can I get enough of that food? There is a price to pay for being a lady, but this time I must comfort my dear stomach. ..." As he said, food was piled up on the large white porcelain plate.

First, there are two huge French garlic breads with thick cheese spread on them, then ten small steamed buns, fragrant curry fish cubes, half a huge lobster stretched out on top, and another large plate There is lettuce salad, jelly and caviar in the box. "One more drink and soup..." Nian Xiaoru thought with satisfaction, picking up two heavy plates. As soon as she turned around, she saw Lu Chanjuan standing at the door, looking at herself with a smile. Nian Xiaoru opened his mouth wide, looked at the two Big Mac food plates on the left and right, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"So much, I'm afraid you can't finish it all by yourself?" Lu Chanjuan asked with a smile. "Hey..." Nian Xiaoru smiled sheepishly. "Damn it! My ladylike image," she thought despondently. "Do you want me to help you eat?" Lu Chanjuan asked in a low voice. Nian Xiaoru's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded vigorously. "Come on, come to my room, you don't want to be seen by everyone, do you?" Lu Chanjuan's room was much bigger than Nian Xiaoru's. After all, she was a major and the conditions were much better.The large floor-to-ceiling windows are equipped with light-analyzing glass. In the night, there are countless stars twinkling in the glass, adding a dreamlike color to the room.

Seeing the big bed with ocean pattern, Nian Xiaoru cheered immediately, jumped up in harmony, fell heavily on the bed, and bounced up again. "This is the Wave of the Night!" she said excitedly, "Made by the Montrini furniture factory in Italy, there are less than a hundred pieces in the whole world! How did you get it?" "Really?" Lu Chanjuan smiled faintly, "It was a gift from Mingzhuo on his birthday the year before last." "Wow! It's so comfortable!" Nian Xiaoru couldn't close her mouth with joy, "Hinghuo!" She ordered loudly.

The bed pattern changed from ocean to three-dimensional flowers and green grass, the air was filled with the unique fragrance of the forest, and a little firefly rose slowly from the grass, lingering happily in the air. Nian Xiaoru stretched out her hand, catching the flying fireflies in vain. "Sister Juan, the captain is so kind to you!" She said enviously. "Really?" There was a wry smile on the corner of Lu Chanjuan's lips, "Maybe." "What's wrong with you?" Nian Xiaoru looked at her in surprise, and suddenly realized, "Do you like the captain, sister Juan?"

"No...no!" Lu Chanjuan blushed and denied, even though she was a super-spirit warrior, like any woman in the world whose minds were exposed. "Hey, so it's like this..." Nian Xiaoru approached Lu Chanjuan mischievously, "Sister Juan, your face is so red!" Lu Chanjuan was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head. "What are you waiting for if you like him! A guy like the captain can tell at first glance that he is incomprehensible and gentle. You have to take the initiative to attack!" Nian Xiaoru said firmly, waving his fists. Lu Chanjuan shook her head and did not speak, her expression became gloomy.

"Is there any difficulty?" Nian Xiaoru asked tentatively. "It should be a knot, right?" Lu Chanjuan sighed, "A knot that was tied between me and him six years ago..." "The knot of six years? What is that?" Nian Xiaoru asked curiously. Lu Chanjuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't talk about this, come on, let us wipe out your food!" It's raining a lot... The weather is very cold, it has been so cold to my heart... Where is this?What a dark road... Are there street lights ahead?It's so dim, why does the light seem to be swaying... The rain under the lights is so dim, without any sense of life... what is that?The... red in the rain? ... The red that spreads along the rain...is it blood? ... Wait, there seems to be footsteps coming, stepping on the rain... who's that person?Such a lonely figure? ... Ah, he stopped in the light... With the light shining on his back, he felt very helpless... can't see his face... A lot of blood, his whole body is dark red... So is the rainwater in the ground... His whole body seemed to be drowned in blood... what is he looking at ... Opposite is...the mirror in the window? ... Finally saw his face... very young face... Why? ...he would have such a desperate look in his eyes... what happened? ... However, this face is so familiar... This person...where did I see... I remembered...but...how come? ... That was...me from six years ago? ... Ban Mingzhuo yelled and woke up. He was sweating profusely, panting rapidly and raised his hands.Those hands were slightly pale, but clean.He looked around again, made sure he was in his room, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief. I don't know how many times I was awakened by that nightmare in the middle of the night.It turns out that my heart is more fragile than imagined... Ban Mingzhuo thought with a wry smile.Looks like another sleepless night... Putting on some clothes, he flew gently from the window to the pond in the backyard. The water in the pond is sparkling, and a pointed little lotus is bathed in the silvery white moonlight. It looks pretty, surrounded by the sound of frogs.Ban Mingzhuo has spent so many sleepless nights here.When this person was alone, he finally took off the mask of happiness during the day, and his eyes showed a heart-pounding heaviness and vicissitudes. "Group A, what will happen after this battle?" He pondered, "Why do you feel so uneasy? It seems... It was as if something important was about to be lost. Could it be that someone was leaving again?This time, who will it be? ..." He raised his head and looked at the bright moon hidden in the clouds. Suddenly there were footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw a familiar and slender figure. "Captain, so you can't sleep either..." Sang Ruoying looked at him with a smile, her face under the moonlight was exceptionally beautiful. "A Ying... why, you too?" Ban Mingzhuo asked lightly. "Well, I don't know why? I always feel a little uneasy..." Sang Ruoying looked at the lotus leaves in the pond and said softly. Ban Mingzhuo's heart trembled.The so-called super-mind is spiritual power.People with this kind of power have a much stronger sixth sense than normal people. If Sang Ruoying also feels it, it proves that this feeling is not an illusion.For a moment, he didn't know what to say.Those empty comforting words are useless to such a bright and strong girl. "The enemy is very strong this time..." Sang Ruoying said softly, "Maybe someone will sacrifice..." "Maybe..." Ban Mingzhuo sighed. "I like Group A very much. I don't want everyone to leave, not any of them..." Sang Ruoying said slowly. "No, everyone will return safely as before." Although he also felt that such words were not convincing, as the captain, Ban Mingzhuo could only say so. Sang Ruoying was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Captain, go and confess..." "What?" Ban Mingzhuo asked in surprise. "Go and confess to Sister Juan, she has been waiting for you for a long time..." Sang Ruoying said seriously. "Why are you talking about this?" Ban Mingzhuo smiled wryly. "Everyone can see it, right? Sister Juan likes you..." Sang Ruoying paused, then said, "And you like her too..." "It's just your illusion..." Ban Mingzhuo shook his head. "Really?" Sang Ruoying smiled, and said in a voice so low that she couldn't hear clearly, "It's fine if it's an illusion..." "What did you say?" "It's nothing..." Sang Ruoying looked up at him, "I mean, if you wait until you lose it and then think about expressing your feelings, it will be too late anyway. At that time, there will be nothing you can do..." For some reason, looking at Sang Ruoying's firm eyes, Ban Mingzhuo's heart suddenly trembled.This child, she has grown up... "Okay, I get it, don't talk about it..." Ban Mingzhuo stretched out his hand and gently smoothed Li Sang Ruoying's messy temple hair, "Go back to sleep..." "No, I want to stay for a while..." Sang Ruoying shook her head. "Then I'll go back first..." Ban Mingzhuo flew into the air, then stopped suddenly, looked at Sang Ruoying and said gently, "Aying, you are really the smartest girl I know..." said Finished, disappeared in a flash. "Smart..." Sang Ruoying looked at her own projection in the water, and stroked the ends of her hair that Ban Mingzhuo had just trimmed with her hands, "People who push the person they like to their rivals... should be fools." That's right..." "Walnut, admit defeat!" Thangka looked at the flashing numbers in front of his eyes and said proudly, "Your energy is only 15% left..." "It's unreasonable!" Walnut said angrily, "I haven't used the trick that I bought with 500 gold coins yet! Restoration!" A bright light blue flame lingered around her. "It's useless!" Thangka said with a sinister smile, "I said earlier that all the defensive magic in the enchantment I set up would be ineffective, fireball attack!" Groups of golden fireballs roared and flew towards the female knight transformed from walnuts. "Oh!" Walnut couldn't use defensive magic, so he frantically blocked it with his sword. "Look at this again, Ice Flame Hell!" Thangka's great demon king raised his arms high and roared to the sky.The earth shattered, silvery-white rays of light shot out from the cracks, the air was torn apart by the severe cold, and all objects that touched the white light were frozen, and then wrapped in a thick layer of ice. Walnut screamed and dodged left and right, and was in danger for a while. Suddenly, an elegant female voice sounded in her ear: "Use the teleportation technique!" Without any hesitation, Walnut used all his remaining strength to cast the teleportation spell, which was originally a defensive type of magic, and logically it couldn't work.But the ice flames around the walnuts disappeared in an instant, and when Thangka and the walnuts were puzzled, they suddenly sprayed out around Thangka. "Wow! Wow! How did this happen?!" Thangka yelled in surprise, jumping around, and was finally hit and turned into a big ice sculpture. "Victory!" Walnut happily stretched out two fingers, making a "V". "GAME OVER!" With the golden subtitles, Walnut quit the game and took off the induction helmet. "Thank you! Phoenix!" She said delicately. "You don't have to be polite about such a small matter. If Thangka keeps winning, he won't go to sleep..." Phoenix's voice sounded from the room. "Then is he willing to sleep now?" Walnut asked as he fell on the big bed. "Well, but pouted..." "Haha..." Walnut was overjoyed. "Is there anything else you need? Do you want some rainbow juice? Or make a dream of paradise..." "No need, Fenghuang, you are so kind, just like..." Walnut closed her eyes happily, and murmured, "Just like mother..." Phoenix didn't make a sound. Walnut soon fell into a sweet dreamland, and after a while began to dream: "Phoenix..., Phoenix..." "What's the matter?" Fenghuang asked softly and tentatively. "If only... um... if only you were really human... Phew..." Fenghuang was silent for a while, and then said softly: "That's right...if it's really like that...that's fine..." "Very good, if that's the case, it should be fine..." Jiang Zhenchuan rubbed his hands excitedly, and dipped his hands into a glass jar in front of him.As a result, a thin stream of water began to flow into a huge glass cover along the glass conduit.There is thick sand piled inside the glass cover, and in the center is a strange herbaceous plant, which grows very short, with a few dark green leaves covered with fine and small needles, which looks a bit like a cactus from this point of view.Through the glass cover, it can be seen that the root system of this plant is quite rich, and it is deep and wide. Almost every drop of water flowing into the glass cover is quickly absorbed by it. "Great..." Jiang Zhenchuan slowly withdrew his hand, looking tenderly at the plants inside the glass cover, "You look really ugly, like an ugly duckling, but you are a stubborn little duckling, no matter what No matter what the environment, you should be able to survive..." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at an easel in the corner. The sketch of a girl drawn in pencil on it was obviously the girl Yu Xuan in the bookstore. "I also want to live a good life, because... I have a reason to come back..." "Don't play! Don't play! I can't beat you!" Fat Liu grabbed a lot of chess pieces and threw them on the board, lying on the ground with his feet up, "Sleep, sleep!" "If you want to sleep, go to bed first, do you want to add a pillow for you?" Xiao Ya slowly packed the chess pieces and said. Fat Liu didn't answer, and there was already a slight sound in his mouth. After tidying up all the chess pieces, Xiao Shi began to play the score quietly by himself. Under the control of thoughts, black and white pieces lightly landed on the chessboard without making any sound.The only sound in the room was Fatty Liu's voice, which rose and fell from time to time. Xiao Ya looked at his friend and shook his head: "You are really happy? This guy... don't you feel it at all? In this battle, I am afraid that some people will not be able to return here..." Xu Dongqing crossed his hands and fingers on the table in front of him, staring intently at the two photos. "Is it dead again...?" He murmured. "The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. Wang Chundong, male, 38 years old, from Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. Zhao Yi, male, 35 years old, from Yixing, Anhui Province. They are all veterans, but they belonged to different units and types of arms. Wang was a co-pilot in the 4th Armored Division of the Beijing Military Region six years ago, while Zhao was a sniper in the 28th Army Task Force of the Lanzhou Military Region. There is no indication that the two men had ever had a relationship before that. Hobbies, family , and living habits are completely different." A beautiful female police officer reported in an orderly manner. "Where's your political orientation?" Xu Dongqing asked without raising his head. "They were all dissatisfied with the government's corruption and foreign policy, and Zhao Yi was punished in the army for this." "That's it..." Xu Dongqing nodded and said, "Like the previous cases, this is the only similarity. No, there is another one, that is, they will never be caught alive." The female police officer stroked the electronic button in her hand, stared at the lines of information on the screen and said, "Almost all of them have joined the army. Is it related to the military?" "It's very possible..." Xu Dongqing nodded and said, "And I'm afraid it's not just that. The scale of the Xinhun organization is so large that the military alone may not be able to do it. There must be high-level government officials working for them. Take cover." "What is their purpose?" The female police officer pondered. "So far, apart from the assassination of some government officials, there have been no other terrorist acts." "What we see is probably just superficial things..." Xu Dongqing Yingwei's face cast a shadow, "They must have a more important purpose, but we can't see it clearly now, but..." "What?" asked the female police officer. "According to my intuition, it may have something to do with the upcoming 41st National Congress..." Xu Dongqing said in a deep voice. "They want to seize power?! How is that possible? At that time, the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing was under our control!" the female police officer said in surprise. "You don't have to rely on force to seize power? There are things in this world that are more powerful than that..." Xu Dongqing's eyes flashed a strange light, "...that is the human heart..."
