Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Everything is the Result of Elaboration

Quicksilver said the word "he" three times, but he couldn't complete the sentence "he entered the painting again".I asked, "Doesn't that mean that your communication with Batu has been cut off?" Quicksilver nodded, and I asked again: "Last time, Batu... was in the painting for three years, and the contact between you and him was also cut off for three years?" Quicksilver nodded: "Yes, we have almost given up. The receiving equipment is still working, but there is no special person to monitor it. When his voice came again, we all agreed that it was a miracle."

I frowned and muttered to myself: "When you enter the painting, you cannot communicate with the outside world. He lives in the Mongolian grassland in the painting, and he doesn't feel that he is only moving on a plane..." I myself don't know what is the use of talking to myself, it's just that my thoughts are too disordered, and it is easier to organize my thinking while telling the story.Mercury's expression was ugly, "You know all about Batu's experience." I raised my eyebrows: "Batu's spy work experience is so rich, he always has his own way."

Mercury's face became even more ugly and puzzled, and Liang Chenmei laughed together: "General, why didn't you even think of this? He only needs to close his eyes to write, and he can send any message to people, but the instrument can't receive anything. " Mercury opened his mouth wide and let out a "heh". Obviously, although this method is extremely simple, he never thought of it. I said bluntly: "If you try to control people by any method, you will not be 100% successful." Mercury said in a deep voice, "No one wants to control him, everything is for the convenience of carrying out the task."

I snorted again: "Mission, mission, how many crimes have been committed in your name." The beautiful scenery on a good day immediately clapped and clapped.Quicksilver smiled wryly: "Batu's report has become the biggest laughing stock since the department took action, so we suspect that he has been brainwashed." My voice sounded unnatural: "You mean, at first, you didn't believe what happened to Batu at all." Quicksilver nodded: "It's not that I don't believe it, but I think it's a trap arranged by the 'old fox' and asked Batu to go in, so that with Batu's report, the experts all over the world can believe that the target everyone is looking for has entered the painting , never come out again."

I said "huh": "If everyone believes it, there will naturally be no more spy wars." Shuiyin said: "Yes, this is the purpose of the Russians. That bald marshal must be in the hands of the Russians—everyone was like that at the time, so the espionage operations never stopped." I asked a very important question: "So what is he doing for the next four years?" Mercury smiled wryly: "He devoted himself to the study of black magic that turns people into paintings." Liang Chenmei laughed wantonly, and I knocked on their heads one by one: "Don't laugh, the power of witchcraft is a real existence. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to a super witch."

The two little ghosts stuck out their tongues: "Will it really turn us into two red kangaroos?" I said fiercely: "Yes, and it is fixed on the painting." If Bai Su was there, she would definitely give me a look and blame me for scaring the children with such boring words, but they are not ordinary children, and they can't be scared at all.Sure enough, they made faces at me together, and laughed for a while. I don't think it's funny. Obviously, Batu cared very much about his "life in painting" for three years. He made a report, but the organization didn't believe it.The strange thing is, why didn't he hand over those tapes to his superiors?Everything recorded on the tape can prove...

Thinking of this, I can't help being confused—everything on the tape can only prove that he lived inexplicably for three years on the Mongolian grassland, but it does not prove that he really "entered the painting". To be honest, I have always had reservations about his "entering the painting". If it weren't for this accident, I would have further suspected that everything was just as General Mercury expected, and it was all arranged by the old fox.However, how to explain what happened now? The mysterious appearance and disappearance of primary school teachers and primary school students, Batu reappeared in the painting, and I don't know where to go.

How to explain all this? Could it be that he was arranged by the old fox? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a throbbing in my heart, and even my whole body trembled, and I quickly asked: "He will tell me that he is tracking a dog, so... what does that mean?" General Mercury's brows were knotted: "This matter is very strange. Although he no longer belongs to any organization, we still maintain a friendship, and the implanted... parts are still functional, and there are special records. After witchcraft, someone has been recording everything he saw, heard and said..."

Liang Chenmei interjected: "To control a person, to this extent, can be said to be the first step in the extinction of mankind." Quicksilver's lips trembled all the time, but no sound came out. From the movement of his lips, I could tell that what he wanted to say but didn't say was: he did it voluntarily. What he once said was refuted by me. At this time, he didn't want to make fun of himself, so he didn't repeat it. I made a gesture to him, and Quicksilver sighed: "About the long dog, in the record, he said: 'We will solve this mystery on a long black dog, a dog that is completely black.'"

I don't know much: "Where did he... study witchcraft?" General Mercury showed a look of extreme astonishment: "In Haiti, damn it, it is so ridiculous that there is an extremely large Witchcraft Research Institute with endless funds." His voice was extremely excited, but I was very calm: "It's because you are ignorant. The host of this research institute is Gutuo. He has suffered from witchcraft himself, and he knows that witchcraft is worth studying, so he founded it." from this research institute." I heard about this Institute of Witchcraft Research from Dr. Yuan Zhenxia, ​​and there are many twists and turns in it, which are unimaginable.

Mercury stared at me for a while: "You seem to know everything." I couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness: "It's absolutely impossible. I don't know where Batu is now." My answer was very ordinary, but when Shuiyin heard it, she suddenly became very excited: "You say that, even if you don't believe that he has entered the painting again." I thought for a while: "It's hard to say, Batu is the person involved, he seems to really believe that he entered the painting, we are outsiders..." Shui Yin said: "The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear." I haven't answered yet, the beautiful scenery on a good day has already called in unison: "It's here." I was so engrossed in talking to Shuiyin that I didn't pay attention to the situation outside the car. When I looked up, I saw that the car had stopped at the entrance of the resplendent and magnificent hotel. The four got out of the car, Meimei threw the car keys and a banknote to the driver at the door, the little girl squandered it, it was surprising, I secretly decided to teach them about money with Bai Su. When I arrived in my room, I put the oil painting in front of me, and I drank wine with Mercury, and we talked in a low voice, "General, what else do you want to prove." Mercury drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then reached out to grab the bottle: "I want to prove that everything was arranged by the old fox. The nonsense of ten years ago is true, and so is Batu's disappearance now." I stared at him and shook my head: "Impossible, the cause of Batu's investigation of that extremely weird disappearance is entirely because he happened to meet the female teacher and those elementary school students." Quicksilver sighed, "What is the purpose of the Russians arranging such...?" Mercury's voice was sonorous, and it sounded decisive: "I want to end this spy war and make everyone believe that people can really enter the painting. This proves that the Marshal, the person the whole world is looking for, is on their way." hands." I took a deep breath, spoke quickly, and denied all illusions of witchcraft and magic, thinking that everything was just a spy war trick, which naturally didn't suit my taste, I said: "You told me just now, People are not in the hands of the KGB, there is definite evidence." Quicksilver looked very sad, and he sighed: "The Russians really want to hide the marshal, and they can still do it. I said that everything is a circus played by the Russians. That's just my opinion. Others, even Including the top decision-makers, it is believed that people are not in the hands of the Russians." I stared at him, and Quicksilver looked at me. I already had a faint sense of what he wanted to say, a feeling that I couldn't help laughing, he didn't say what he wanted to say directly, but turned a corner: "Oh, I really can't help it, otherwise, I will definitely go to Moscow to find out the truth." Hearing him say this, I couldn't bear it anymore. In recent years, my temper has improved a lot. Otherwise, I would punch him on the chin, or pour a glass of wine on his head and face. My temper was so good that I didn't move. Rough, and without laughing, wait for him to continue. This guy, he blushed a little, and didn't dare to look me in the eye, but he still had a one-billionth hope, and said his ultimate goal: "Actually, you are the most suitable person to spot check the truth." I reacted extremely calmly, with my index finger pointing up, I shook it left and right a few times to express my refusal, and he said again: "Batu is your friend, if he hadn't entered the painting, he must have been in the hands of the Russians..." I understood what he meant, and before he finished speaking, I said coldly: "Let's talk about a pure black dog first. I will never go to Moscow." Suddenly, I burst into laughter, laughing so hard that this The famous General Mercury was extremely embarrassed and panicked. Liang Chenmei didn't know why I suddenly laughed, and looked at me with wide eyes, and I pointed to Quicksilver: "You can send someone who is more suitable than me, this person, and your subordinates, are nicknamed 'High Dynamite' A female colonel who is very close to her, her name is Luo Kai, and her nickname is Asian Eagle." Quicksilver was extremely frustrated: "You think I didn't think of it? I even found the prodigal son Gundam, fuck..." This is the second time that General Quicksilver has uttered foul language. I looked at him with interest, and he smiled wryly: "The prodigal son agrees straight away, but he wants one million dollars a day as a reward, three years in advance." I laughed up and down, but suddenly, I stopped laughing——I saw Liang Chenmei's expression was wrong, and they looked like they were eager to try. At this time, I made a mistake - I looked at Liangchen Meijing with a rather surprised expression, although it was only for a very short time, and Liangchen Meijing's look of eagerness to try disappeared immediately, but everything was over. In the eyes of quicksilver. I hate associating with stupid people, I like to deal with smart people, but there are pros and cons to associating with smart people, you have to put on a 120,000-point look, otherwise, if he wants to count you, you will suffer. Of course, Mercury is a smart person, and his nickname is "Quirius", which means that he can get through any gap.It was finally unavoidable that I got involved in the biggest espionage war since human history. It was because of my carelessness at that time-I was afraid that the beautiful scenery would not know the heights of the heavens and the earth, so I was surprised when I wanted to go to Moscow for "activities". The very stern gaze stopped their delusions, and it seemed that they had succeeded. But now that Mercury saw all of this and thought it could be used, things would be quite different. He didn't activate it at that time, but just shook his head: "There must be a very good person to find him." I sighed: "I don't think anyone is better than Batu. Even if he fails, others will not succeed." Mercury turned the wine glass in his hand: "It's a pity that he was fooled by others, he really thought he had entered the painting." I walked back and forth, my thoughts were very confused, Mercury didn't believe that people would enter into the painting, even now that the oil painting was in front of him, he still didn't believe it, thinking that everything was the result of careful arrangements. Mercury's thinking like this is naturally more realistic than "people have entered the painting". However, there is a key question: how can Batu be involved in that mysterious disappearance? I stopped: "Continue from the text, that dog, what's going on, Batu was studying witchcraft in Haiti, and why did he come to Helsinki?" Mercury looked at me for a while: "Among the received materials, the results can be sorted out, but... Well, this is a secret of a senior spy in our country, I don't have..." I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, but I understood what he meant, and I couldn't help being angry and funny, and immediately walked to the door, opened the door, and said very bluntly, "Yes, you don't need to tell me, please go ahead." Quicksilver obviously didn't expect me to act so violently, and froze, not knowing what to do.He had no choice but to laugh dryly: "Look, I didn't say anything." I still kept a straight face. Originally, he looked so happy when he saw me, which was indeed very touching, but now knowing that his happiness was entirely because he thought I would carry out the mission for him, it was not worth touching , and makes people feel his despicableness.That naturally won't give him a good face.I said: "If you want to talk, just be happy." The action of quicksilver drinking with a big gulp.At that time, I also thought about why he endured my bad attitude and did not leave, but I never thought that he had a more despicable conspiracy to unfold.I believe that while he was drinking, he must have scolded me with the worst words in his heart. He even coughed for a few seconds before he said: "The comprehensive information is that Batu got inspiration in the study of witchcraft and told him that there was a long pure black dog that would tell him the answer to the mystery in his heart, so , he started looking for the dog." I felt incredible: "Looking for a black dog? There are thousands of black dogs in the world, where can I find them?" I hummed, too lazy to answer, Liang Chenmei said: "The black dog can... spit out human words?" I was annoyed: "Yes, I would like to push back pictures!" Although Mercury was well-informed, he didn't know what "Tui Bei Tu" was, and he was suddenly suspicious. Liang Chenmei asked him, "Uncle Batu came to Finland to find that black dog?" Quicksilver said: "It's not...it's very clear. In short, he's been searching all over the world—maybe he has a certain program, and with the power of witchcraft, he gets inspiration..." I interrupted him abruptly: "Could someone use some power to affect his brain activity?" Mercury looked puzzled, and I added: "He once had 'parts' implanted in his head!" Quicksilver shook his head: "That can't affect his brain activity!" I raised my eyebrows: "If someone else tampers with his head and adds something to it." Quicksilver shook his head: "I thought about this a long time ago. After he came back, I did a careful inspection, and there is absolutely no such possibility." I shook my head subconsciously: "As soon as he entered the painting, did he lose contact with you?" Quicksilver knew what I was thinking. I was wondering whether the "parts" implanted in Batu's head would have side effects and make it easier for him to use them.Mercury also shook his head: "The signal is very weak. It is very easy to interfere and destroy it. This cannot be used to prove that he really entered the painting." Liangchen Jingmei walked back and forth, the red shadows dazzled people's eyes, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with me: "Uncle Wei, please don't interrupt, let the general continue, okay?" Quicksilver hurriedly said, "He came to Helsinki suddenly—only he himself knows the reason. In fact, it is very easy to arrange for someone, no matter who he is, to go to a place voluntarily." Liang Chenmei laughed: "Bragging! You can't arrange for Uncle Wei to go to Moscow!" I know he still doesn't give up, anyway, I made up my mind to ignore him, and he has nothing to do with me. He continued: "If Mr. Wei is unprepared, then it is very simple to influence him through a lot of well-arranged small things and ask him to go to a place voluntarily." Liang Chenmei was very interested in hearing this, and Mercury took the opportunity to develop his theory: "People are very subjective. They think that being forced to do something is very painful. It is very different to resist and do it voluntarily. In fact, people It can be said that none of the actions is really voluntary, but only conscious voluntary, and that voluntary is the result of the influence of many external events." My point of impatience: "What do you want to explain in your long talk?" Quicksilver waved his hand vigorously: "I want to explain that when Batu came to Helsinki, he met the female teacher and the primary school student, which made him interested in investigating their mysterious disappearance, until he found the painting in the private museum, until he found that painting in Helsinki. Entering the painting is all the result of careful arrangement." Both Liangchen Meijing and I opened our eyes wide. His words really surprised us. If this is the case, then the whole thing is not mysterious at all. Quicksilver continued: "Although there are many mysterious things in the world, this one is not. It was all arranged by the Russians." Liang Chenmei said loudly: "But, the female teacher and the primary school students..." Quicksilver interrupted their conversation: "From the Soviet Union, how did you find out their ins and outs? Why did you choose Finland? Because Finland has a long border with the Soviet Union—some Russian territories were simply snatched from Finland. In the past, if the private museum had a collection of 100 million pounds, would it be so easy to get in and out?" After an analysis of Mercury, the theory of "careful arrangement" seems to be valid. Moreover, Mercury has already stated the purpose of the Russians, which is to make the spies of various countries give up and end this spy war by saying "the man is in the painting". Shuiyin said again: "All kinds of arrangements have become an extremely sophisticated trap. When they get in, they don't realize it! If you are sure of this, and you think about it, you can know that there are many loopholes, such as Batu suddenly If we went to find Wesley, the Russians would not have expected that he would come with two red-clothed girls, and the Russians would not know, if they knew, there would be two of them on the oil painting." Liangchen blinked: "There are two oil paintings, one with Batu and one without Batu?" Shuiyin nodded: "There's no need to ask, I believe the artist must be far away, otherwise, he can be found immediately, and you can also be painted on it, even you have entered the painting!" Liang Chen and Mei Mei stuck out their tongues: "Now, Uncle Batu has fallen into the hands of the Russians?" Quicksilver smiled: "He won't suffer, he will be with that female teacher and those children, and, I believe it won't be too long, a few days at most, he will be let out, it seems that the Russians are very eager to end this matter As soon as the news of Batu's 'into the painting' twice spreads, everyone will believe their words and give up looking for a person in the painting!" Liangchen Meijing tilted her head: "Thinking about it, it's suspicious. We went to steal the painting, as if entering a land without people, but when we were about to go down to the cellar, the guard came out." Mercury "haha" laughed loudly: "It's like entering no one's land? I believe that every action of yours is under the surveillance of more than ten TV camera tubes! The guards suddenly appeared, naturally they were afraid that you two would also enter! " Liang Chenmei was shocked: "Batu was attacked as soon as he entered? Then there is another way out of the cellar?" Mercury groaned several times in a row, which seemed to mean "you guys finally understand now". Suddenly, I thought of something, pointed at the painting, and said in a sharp voice, "General, I can immediately prove whether your hypothesis can be established." After all, Mercury was extremely experienced, so he was stunned for a while, but within half a second, he also let out an "ah" and jumped up!The beautiful scenery on a good day is even more elves, and immediately said: "If everything is really well-arranged, this painting must be an eavesdropping device!"
