Most of the doors in the chamber were locked, and they opened one after trying a few. It looked like a small theater, with only one tall window, which was covered with heavy curtains, and the whole room was filled with darkness. black.
Adrian turned on the flashlight on the terminal and looked around, but couldn't find where the light switch was.
"It doesn't matter, it's not completely invisible." Zhong Yan said, "It's fine if you can sit."
It’s not like he’s pretending to sit down before he’s willing to talk. He’s really tired after walking for a while. Now that there are rows of chairs in front of him, he doesn’t bother to check whether there are lights or not, so he sits nearby. down.
Adrian searched for another wall, but to no avail. He was not a formal person, so he turned off the flashlight and sat next to Zhong Yan in the dark.
He regretted it as soon as he sat down. The distance between the seats in this auditorium is too small, or there is no distance at all. The two neighbors share an armrest, and the seats are very narrow. He is sitting next to Zhong Yan, his shoulders are almost touching each other.
He enjoyed the fact that he was condescending and suppressing Zhong Yan when they were face to face, but he couldn't accept the two of them sitting side by side.
Fortunately, this is a screening room, there is no light, and in the darkness, this fact that needs to be seen is not so difficult to accept. Besides, it would be too shameful to stand up and sit in another seat. Adrian endured it and asked, "You don't plan to report to Capital Star, so is what you want to say is a private matter? I don't think there is anything between us other than that." Apart from a fine of 400,000 yuan, there is no other personal matter to talk about."
"It's not a personal matter."
"It's not a personal matter, but you don't intend to report it?"
Zhong Yan did not answer this question, but mentioned something that seemed irrelevant: "I originally planned to come to the Na'vi star area to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to choose the White Shield Star. Are you sure that the White Shield Is the star safe?"
"What is security?"
"Are you sure you have removed all the artificial intelligence base stations on White Shield?"
Adrian's heart skipped a beat. Zhong Yan's words reveal two meanings. First, he is worried that the White Shield Star is still controlled by artificial intelligence to some extent. Second... what he wants to say can only be in the Na'vi star area. " said the place.
Why? A non-voting member actually described the area covered by "Butterfly" as unsafe
"Before the White Shield star was merged, our technical department surveyed the entire planet, and it is impossible for me to merge the White Shield star without dismantling it."
Zhong Yan shook his head, "The terrain of White Shield Star is complex, with mountains and vegetation covering more than half of the land, and it is not impossible to omit it. It can't compare to the Na'vi star area where 'Butterfly' has never been stationed at all. "
"Then, at least I can be sure that the area where this house is located is absolutely clean. This is where we have focused our investigation."
Zhong Yan looked at Adrian, and found that Adrian was also looking at him. In the darkness, the outline of his face was blurred, but his silver eyes were more eye-catching.
Zhong Yan took a deep breath, and then said without a word: "He has gone crazy."
"Who?" Adrian asked subconsciously.
Zhong Yan didn't answer, just looked at him calmly, after a few seconds, Adrian felt a chill run up his back.
He unconsciously turned sideways to Zhong Yan, leaned forward, and asked with burning eyes: "Are you talking about..."
"Yes." Zhong Yan looked directly into Adrian's gaze without any hesitation, "I originally wanted to show you something in the Na'vi star area, but this is not the Na'vi star area, and I don't want to take risks."
Adrian looked at Zhong Yan appraisingly for a while, and said, "It's impossible for me to bring you into the Na'vi sector just because of one word. Zhong Yan, I don't believe you."
Zhong Yan's voice was so soft that it could hardly be heard: "The suggestion will soon be upgraded to an order. The round table will be canceled soon. It will be put on the agenda after the next year."
Adrian's pupils constricted.
"You must have your own intelligence channels. You can find a way to check them before deciding whether to believe me. There are many other things, and I will not take the risk of showing the evidence here." Zhong Yan repeated emphatically, "'he' Crazy, completely. Even if there is still a chance, I will not make such a bad move and come to the Na'vi star area to find you."
Adrian also lowered his voice, and asked: "When we met at Xuefuxing, you didn't say anything."
"Xuefuxing?" Zhong Yan smiled in the dark, "If you make a... ranking list, which planet do you think is the first?"
He vaguely passed the most crucial words, but Adrian knew exactly what he meant. The planet with the strongest artificial intelligence control, the entire Federation has a consensus, of course it is...
"Isn't it Capital Star?"
"It's not the capital star." Zhong Yan sighed softly, "We were really too young when we went to school. Now think about it... artificial planet, this attribute itself should arouse vigilance."
Adrian was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why did you come to me? What is your purpose?"
"The round table is about to disappear." Zhong Yan repeated. "The twelve seats will soon be divided into high and low. Moreover, it is unknown whether there will be twelve remaining after the reform. We will discuss the specific situation when we enter Navi. .”
That's pretty clear. Adrian sneered in his heart. It really was this person's style. It turned out that the fire had already burned himself, and the fire was too strong, so he took the risk. But on the other hand, Adrian had to admit that this made the news sent by the other party much more credible. If Zhong Yan said that he suddenly came to his senses and decided to surrender to the Na'vi star region for the sake of human justice, then he really couldn't believe it.
Adrian stood up and strode out of the auditorium. Zhong Yan heard that he was in contact with someone by the door, roughly recounted the information just now, and asked the other party to start to investigate immediately, presumably it was someone from the intelligence department of the Na'vi Military Region.
The door of the projection hall was ajar, and a small piece of outside light came in. Adrian stood tall and straight in the light.
"Why are you still sitting?" Adrian hung up the communication, and turned around to see Zhong Yan still sitting in the dark, "Are you waiting for the House to show you a movie?"
Zhong Yan stared at him blankly for a while, then said, "Here we come."
It was already noon when they walked out of the small building.
The sun is shining brightly, but it is very dazzling for those who have just come out of the dark. Zhong Yan couldn't adapt to the light outside for a while, so he raised his hand to cover his eyes. I haven't taken care of my clothes for a while, and the rolled up sleeves have come loose. Adrian saw that his clothes were too big, and only four slender white fingertips were exposed from Zhong Yan's hand covering his eyes. .
Zhong Yan barely got used to it for a few seconds, and just as he put down his hands, he met Adrian's gaze, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Adrian quickly looked away, and said: "You don't want to take risks, and neither do I. In the afternoon, you will follow my fleet back to the Na'vi main star. You can't bring anything in except people and terminals."
"Wait a minute." Zhong Yan realized what he meant, "Where are my clothes? I came here with sincerity, you should believe it now, I only have that formal dress on..."
"Being sincere or not, let's wait for my intelligence department's verification results and the evidence you're going to show me. In critical times, none of us want to make mistakes, so it's better to be safe, isn't it?"
Zhong Yan stared at him with beautiful phoenix eyes, and after a while, he demanded: "Then I want to buy new clothes. Yours are too big."
"You still have money to buy new clothes." Adrian said coolly, "If you have money to buy clothes, why don't you pay back the 360,000 you owe me, there's only half a month left."
"We've talked about it, and my views haven't changed."
"Unfortunately, then you don't want to buy any new clothes, just wear them." Adrian said to the guards on one side, "Notify the fleet and return to the main planet immediately after lunch."
"No—why are you doing this? It's not the same thing at all!"
Adrian was unmoved at all, and said frankly: "I just don't distinguish between public and private."
"Don't be unreasonable, okay? Are you a soldier? You are just like a star thief."
Adrian said: "You can see what my dad looks like in the morning. It's a genetic problem."
Zhong Yan was speechless all of a sudden. He knew that Adrian could talk like that, which meant that he didn't care much about that father anymore. After all, he had never met his father before, and he didn't expect too much from the role of father. Those who were not taken seriously could not hurt him.
Knowing Adrian like Zhong Yan, of course it is not that he has nothing to say in response to this irrational statement, as long as he mentions his childhood that he never had a father to participate in, but Zhong Yan didn't say a word.
He and Adrian are no longer friends. They have met twice in seven years. During this period, they exchanged harsh words several times. Adrian frequently used their past as a weapon to attack him, but he would never do that.
It was the most precious memory in his life, and he was reluctant to use it like this.
When Adrian returned to the ship, the liaison officer of the intelligence department who came out with the team this time hurried up to meet him. The communication just now was too brief. He wanted to confirm the situation with Adrian in detail, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a person behind Adrian.
The liaison officer's expression looked like he had seen a ghost, and he choked.
"What's the matter?" Adrian asked suspiciously, "Is there anything unclear about what I ordered just now?"
"Isn't this... uh, that, Special Commissioner?"
"Oh, I forgot to say, he returned to the main star with us. Just in time, you should inform the headquarters of this news."
What? The liaison officer is one head and two big, and the person who must never mention his name in the Na'vi sector actually wants to enter the Na'vi sector in person! What is this called? Fortunately, the other party has the status of a special commissioner this trip, otherwise there is no way to call it!
"Yes, how long does the special commissioner plan to stay on the main star? How to arrange after arriving at the main star?"
"No need to make arrangements, I will watch it myself." Adrian said, "At least half a month. Go and inform."
"Wait." Zhong Yan, who had been standing quietly behind Adrian, stopped the liaison officer, "It won't take so long, I just evaluate whether the Na'vi star area is suitable for 'Die' to move in now, and stay for a while Days are enough."
The liaison officer looked at Adrian.
Adrian asked, "What do you see me doing? Am I your commander or is he?"
"You are you, that is, the special commissioner will stay on the main planet for more than half a month, and I will notify the headquarters."
After the liaison officer finished speaking, regardless of Zhong Yan still asking him to stay behind, he left in a hurry.
Zhong Yan couldn't call him, so he turned to Adrian and said in surprise, "When did I have to stay so long? It won't take me two days to talk to you about that matter."
"Is the Na'vi Star Region a place where you can come and leave as soon as you say?" Adrian looked at him condescendingly, "Unless you pay the fine, don't even try to run away."
