Before the holiday ended, Tang Yi and Mercury were summoned once by the captain. That was the first time Tang Yi entered the headquarters. The towering buildings are like three huge flying saucers stacked on top of each other, connected by a zigzag transparent elevator in the middle, which looks cold and solemn in front of a dark yellow beach and a turbulent sea.
The interior of the headquarters is empty and tidy, with many humans and sirens operating in front of sophisticated computers. Obviously there are people coming and going, but it is almost so quiet that few conversations are heard. As soon as Tang Yi and Mercury entered the door, a Kraken took them into the elevator and reached the top disk. One side of the corridor is made of clear UV-resistant glass, slightly bluish, and the sunlight penetrates in and turns into strips of water ripples swaying on the ground. The captain's office is at the end of the corridor, in the same spacious and empty style, with almost no furnishings in it. A vintage desk, a few couches. At this time, in addition to Jiang Yanfeng, there was a sea monster that had never been seen before, and two other soldiers, a man and a woman, dressed in white uniforms of the Ministry of Security.
Tang Yili gave a military salute, "Team 15, Tang Ya and the Kraken Mercury report!"
Jiang Yanfeng was sitting on one of the sofas with armrests, and looked up at Tang Yi and Mercury, "I called you here today because I want to know something about you." He stretched out his palm and introduced him to sitting on the couch. "These two are Admiral Qi Yu and Secretary Lin Wenxi. They were sent by the headquarters of the Ministry of Security to understand the situation of the terrorist attack in Kabukicho last week. You must answer truthfully what they ask you."
Tang Yi and Mercury answered in unison, "Yes!"
An elegant man in his forties named Qi Yu smiled kindly at him, "Young people don't have to be nervous. We're here today just to collect as much information as possible about that day. You must have seen how brutal the rebels' tactics are. They were able to unwittingly act in the most prosperous part of Yandu, and there must be an internal response. The Ministry of Security attaches great importance to this terrorist attack, and has entrusted the investigation to me."
Saying you're not nervous is a lie. This Admiral Qi looks very kind, but the more kindly the security department smiles, the more ruthless the means. It is a well-known fact. Take this Qi Yu as an example, his name Tang Yi is not unheard of. He is the head of the intelligence agency of the Ministry of Security. It is said that even if a spy who has undergone hellish training falls into his hands, even his own mother will be recruited within three days.
Tang Yi replied, "I will fully cooperate!"
"Very good." Qi Yu smiled and gestured to Lin Wenxi, a beautiful soldier who looked very strict beside him. Secretary Lin took out his tablet and turned on the recording function. Zhan got up and walked in front of Tang Yi, asking coldly, "Please describe in detail how you encountered the terrorist attack in Kabukicho that night."
Tang Yi then recounted what happened that night, of course omitting those chaotic things that happened in Xanadu. His words were recorded in the thin paper-like tablet, converted into words and stored. When talking about the Equality Messenger's speech, Lin Wenxi interjected, "Did any of the commoners in the supermarket at that time say anything about the Equality Messenger's words?"
Tang Yi shook his head, "I don't remember."
"Then..." Lin Wenxi's sharp eyes shot from above her mirror frame, "What about you? What do you think of the Equality Messenger?"
Tang Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Such a question, if you answer one wrong word, you will lose your head.
"I don't want to listen to the words of a traitor who treats human life like a must. His words are obviously trying to confuse people, deflect blame, and deliberately smear. I don't believe a word of it."
Lin Wenxi's almond eyes stared straight into his pupils, "So...you don't have to be afraid. If you have any questions or doubts, you can ask the security department or sharp sword at any time. All the laws of the base are based on the For the survival and welfare of mankind, there is no place to deceive the people. It can withstand such a lowly method of sowing discord by the rebels.”
"Without the five major bases, there would be no human existence. I grew up under the care of the bases, and I choose to believe in the bases!" Tang Yi said the standard answer in a firm and sincere tone.
Lin Wenxi nodded, suddenly turned his eyes and landed on Mercury, "What about you? Do you have any questions or thoughts? Don't worry, you can say them now. The Ministry of Security will never mind."
Tang Yi's heart suddenly tightened, and he glanced at Mercury with a little unease. Mercury said calmly, "My everything belongs to Tang Ya. I believe what he believes."
Lin Wenxi didn't say anything, just stared at Mercury for a long time with her eyes that seemed to be able to tear open her head and reveal her true thoughts. After a while, she finally nodded, and her eyes returned to the tablet in her hand. " Well, keep going."
Tang Yi exhaled. This beauty is too scary... He has long heard that some people in the intelligence department have been trained since childhood to recognize lies through various micro-expressions and the tiniest body language, and this Lin Wenxi might be one of them...
Lying in front of her is a very risky act.
When talking about Rose's sacrifice, Lin Wenxi interrupted again, "What was Nolan's reaction at that time?"
"He was sad and kept calling Rose's name and trying to jump off. Then I knocked him unconscious. I haven't seen him since I got back to the base."
"If you think about it again, are there any other details?"
Tang Yi also thought hard for a while, "No more."
Lin Wenxi turned off the computer screen with satisfaction and turned to look at Qi Yu. The latter nodded slightly before she walked back to Qi Yu and stood still.
Qi Yu stood up and walked back and forth in front of Mercury and Tang Yi, unable to see his emotions but looking at the two of them with a shallow smile on his eyes, "Very good, heroic, full of energy, the young man of the Kraken team. There are more and more talents. Yanfeng, you have contributed!"
The commander-in-chief stood up and nodded, "You have won the prize."
"Okay, nothing to do here. You go."
Tang Yi turned around, but his footsteps stopped again. Mercury glanced at him, probably aware of his plan, and frowned.
Tang Yi summoned the courage to turn around and said, "Sir, I actually have a question, I don't know if I can ask it."
Qi Yu laughed twice, "What are you afraid of, just ask."
"Nolan is a good brother of our fifteenth unit. Can we really not meet him?"
Qi Yu was not surprised by this question. The soldiers in the army have a deep relationship, which is understandable, so he patted Tang Yi on the shoulder soothingly, "The Ministry of Security also knows that you have a deep relationship. However, Nolan was greatly stimulated and his mental state is still unstable. It's not very appropriate to see him now."
"Sir... I heard that Nolan is going to be assigned somewhere else. Is that true?"
"Tang Ya!" Jiang Yanfeng warned, "Is this the question you should ask?!"
"Oh, Xiao Tang also cares about his comrades. I understand." Qi Yu sighed with the attitude of a close uncle, "He refuses to accept other Krakens. See if you can say goodbye before he leaves the team."
Tang Yi smiled gratefully, bowed and said, "Thank you sir!" After getting permission from Qi Yu, he quickly left with Mercury.
On the way out, Mercury reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't you want your loyalty point? Even knowing that Nolan's identity is sensitive now, you still ask questions?"
Tang Yi looked at the people who were going around farther away, and then said in a low voice, "At least we know that Nolan is still in the team. The security department hasn't taken him away yet."
Mercury was silent. In the past two days, they have been looking for information about Nolan on the team's intranet, but they found that there was no relevant announcement; if someone followed, it would cause suspicion, and once someone informs, it may affect the loyalty value. Tang Yi took the risk and asked the people in the security department directly this time, but Qi Yu felt that he was just a normal worry among brothers, and would not suspect that he had other temptations.
All that's left is to wonder where Nolan might be imprisoned.
The dormitory was filled with a strange smell mixed with hydrochloric acid and ketchup, and Tang Yi couldn't help but sneezed several times as soon as he walked in. He looked at Ashes who was reading a book with a bitter face, "When will your master stop? It's going to kill people if you come here every day..."
Ashes raised her eyes helplessly, "I'm helpless too. If you talk too much, he'll blow up."
Just at this moment, Dr. Tan happily came out of the kitchen with a plate of something like a wriggling tentacle, and saw Tang Yi's eyes lit up, "Tang Ya! Come and try my newly developed dish - Hair of Medusa~ "
Just looking at the unknown creature on the plate, Tang Yi felt his stomach sour, and suddenly shouted, "Oh! My stomach hurts! I have to go to the toilet quickly... You... try it with mercury!"
Mercury's eyes suddenly widened, watching Tang Yi in disbelief as he disappeared behind the bedroom door. This kid actually sold him like this...
However, the crisis is imminent, and Dr. Tan has come to him with a bright face and a plate, "Mercury, I know that you know my craft best."
The corners of Mercury's mouth twitched, and she took a step back. Cold sweat poured down her forehead. She finally said, "Tang Ya has diarrhea, I'll go get him medicine." Then he ran away at the speed of light.
Leaving behind Dr. Tan, who was still smiling, he looked at the room where the two disappeared, "Ash, you say, aren't the two of them going too far?"
Ash pressed his forehead and looked at Tang Yi's door with some sympathy.
Now you two have a big deal...
On the other side, Tang Yi, who thought he had escaped the catastrophe, pulled out a package of Marlboro from under the bed that mercury had secretly bought for him, took one in his mouth and tried to suppress his shock, but he couldn't find the lighter for a long time, and then he remembered that the lighter was already there. Not on him anymore.
Almost at the same time, with a click, a bright flame jumped before his eyes. Mercury looked down at him with skillful movements. He lit a cigarette with Mercury's hand, and gave Mercury a sly smile that he thought was charming, "You don't mind if I smoke here?"
Mercury closed the lid of the lighter, put it back in his trouser pocket, and turned on the air purifier in the sleep capsule, "Can you go anywhere else?"
Tang Yi spit out a smoke ring and lay comfortably on the bed, "Mercury, where do you think Nolan might be."
Quicksilver opened the map of the Kraken team in the watch and pointed to three positions with his finger. They were the clinic, the confinement room, and a semicircular building to the north of the other team that Tang Yi had never been to. The first two Tang Yi can still understand, but the last one... "Where is this?"
"Abandoned old Kraken convalescence hall. It was abandoned 20 years ago due to fire. It is the tomb of countless Krakens. Therefore, no one is willing to approach there. Gradually, many team members and Krakens do not even know that this building is. What it's used for. If you want a person to disappear, this is a good choice."
Tang Yi looked at the building curiously for a while with a cigarette in his mouth, and scratched his hair, "It won't be haunted there, right? Siren or something."
Mercury raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him, slightly provocatively, "Are you afraid?"
"What a joke!" Tang Yi blew a cigarette on Mercury's face, and managed to catch Mercury by surprise, "Brother, I was in the army, but I was the one who swept all the horror movies with everyone!"
