Strasbourg is located in the northeastern part of France, with the world-renowned Christmas market as a cultural card, coupled with the well-known European Rhine waterway running through the north and south, it was once rated as the most popular tourist city in Europe.
It's Christmas again, the sun has just set not long ago, the streets are decorated with Christmas decorations, and the air is filled with Christmas music. However, the sparse tourists are constantly telling the fact that since the human beings entered the cosmic century, the once tourist capital has long been outdated, and now it has been tragically reduced to a second-tier scenic spot.
"The reason for being out of breath is obviously that the living fools have been deceived all over again, and the speed of new fools being born has not kept up with the speed of the city's fame." Camus yawned absently, "Flower, I really I don't think there's anything interesting about this place."
"Camus! We're still on the street, you're too impersonal!" Huayuan Li glared at him, "What's important is the cultural connotation, do you understand the cultural connotation! A guy like you who doesn't have any romantic cells will not Understand, this is the stage for the third season of "White Album"!"
"I must have lost my mind to accompany you to watch that show..." When he mentioned this Camus, he immediately touched his forehead with a gloomy look on his face, "What's so good about a love triangle with a twisted stomach? If you're curious, why don't you go and inquire about the gossip of the doctor's house, let's count how much love it is? Maybe it's even more interesting."
"Camus! It's Dr. Lingos who sponsored your university. It's disrespectful to talk like that!" Huayuan Li glared at him with her hands on her hips, "Also, that show was clearly the one you wanted to watch first!"
"But I'm ready to turn it off after watching one episode, okay? You have to quarrel to watch it all." Camus glared back, not to be outdone, "Besides, I saw that it was an Anaheim military engineer. Only those who are sponsored by the department are ready to take a look, God knows why the Anaheim military industry is sponsoring such inexplicable things!"
"What is something inexplicable? "White Album" is obviously well shot and has a lot of depth. If you can't say it well, then you can name one..." Huayuan Li was stunned for a second, then suddenly showed a triumphant look, "Oh yes, Does it make sense to not have your Hong Kong videotape?"
"What, what, what incense, a Hong Kong videotape?" Camus swallowed, a layer of sweat oozing out of his forehead instantly, "I-I don't know what you're talking about."
"I dug it out of your bedroom when I was helping you clean the house before. It was covered with a Hong Kong videotape. I found it strange so I opened it and looked at it." Huayuan Li looked at Camus with contempt, "So many The genuine one isn't cheap, right, so you can buy this with the bursary that Dr. Lingos gave you?"
"I-I'm a medical student, yes, a medical student! Those are just learning materials!" Camus's eyes rolled quickly, trying to change the subject, "Oh yes, that flower, before we go out, I I signed for a copy of your courier, and I see that the package says computer accessories, so what, do you need me to help you install the computer?"
"Ah, ah? The mailing address is written as yours?! No, no, I can handle it myself!" Huayuan Li also looked around in a panic for some reason, grabbed Camus's arm and walked to the other side of the street. "The street, the street performance has begun, Camus, let's go see it!"
The two got into the crowd and squeezed to the front without much effort. Directly in front of it is a cheap temporary stage, and several artists with different instruments have just started to play. Huayuanli didn't speak any more, but just like the other tourists around her, she showed an expression of intoxication in the notes.
Camus stretched his neck and looked around boredly, and gently pressed his elbow against the garden Li: "Hua, you see these people are really interesting, a group of third-rate artists relying on a second-rate writer of some unknown era to make up Historical stories have a chance to be played on stage, while another group of inexperienced listeners who usually only listen to slobbery music are pretending to appreciate first-class music.”
Camus's voice was not loud but not too small, at least the people around him could hear it clearly. Huayuan Li felt the bad eyes around her and covered her face in desperation, grabbed Camus's arm and got out of the crowd. Camus followed Huayuanli to an uninhabited window and stood still, while the latter's face was full of helplessness.
"We're here to travel, not to find fault. We don't need to express your eloquent talk in a crowded place." Huayuan Li patted Camus on the shoulder silently, "I know why you haven't had a friend for so long since school started. delivered."
"It takes you to figure out, it's not that I can't make it, it's that I don't want to make it, who wants to be friends with those naive little devils?" Camus squinted and pouted, "The freshman is as obedient as the high school student, the sophomore The third is showing off his strength to the freshmen, and some seniors are just as proud as the richest man in the federation and publicize it everywhere, for fear that others will not know. Childish! Really childish!"
"That senior got Bist's internship, and it's not impossible to show off-"
"What is Bister's internship, it's just an unknown subsidiary of Bister. Besides, I followed the doctor and the real big brother in and out of the Anaheim headquarters as if they were playing, and who did I show off to? "Huh?" Camus snorted disdainfully, "Look at me, when I graduate, I will never rely on a doctor's relationship, and I will enter the Moon Capital First General Hospital on my own merits!"
Huayuan Li looked at the young man in front of her with tears in her eyes, her mood a little complicated. Camus has changed so much in the past two years that sometimes she almost doesn't know him, but sometimes it seems that she has never changed.
"And that, Hua, I'm sorry." Camus said, scratching his head embarrassedly, "I came out to play with you, but I made the atmosphere very embarrassing. In fact, I, uh, encountered something before. I didn't figure it out, I kept thinking about that, so I got a little impatient... uh, how do I put it..."
"Forget it, Camus, that's how you are. Long-distance running is always hard work, and I'm used to it." Huayuan Li glanced at the deserted street, stretched out her right hand, pointed a little away, and said, "The girl is wearing The scarf is very beautiful, I will forgive you if you buy me an identical one."
"What scarf?" Camus followed her fingers, and a thick figure wrapped in a scarf and hat was entering the car. "Uh, that scarf looks very high-end, what if it's a famous brand?"
"I have the money to buy so many genuine Hong Kong video tapes, but I don't have the money to give me Christmas gifts. Is that what you mean?" Huayuan Li shrugged, "Forget it, you're spending Dr. Lingos's money anyway, and the style is almost enough. "
"Mmmm, good!" Camus nodded in a panic, "But then again, there are people who dye their hair pink now. I thought Ms. Lux and the doctor were out of breath after they got married."
"What do you mean by being out of breath? Lux will never be angry!" Huayuan Li waved her arms uncharacteristically, "You don't understand Lux's position in the circle at all, she is an unprecedented phenomenal singer, as long as she is willing to play music now Yes, fans can go from the moon to Britannia! It's like... just like Amuro Ray in the MS circle, no, higher than Amuro Ray!"
"It's too exaggerated, even more than Major Amuro Ray..." Camus's expression froze without warning, and then suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where the car disappeared again, "Hua, there was a NewType just now... flashed for a moment. ?"
"What is a flash?" Huayuan Li couldn't understand.
"It just appeared for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared. With my NT precision, it's definitely not an illusion. Could it be boson jumping? Impossible." Camus calmed down and recalled carefully, "a very familiar consciousness but not Acquaintance is like a familiar back but can't name it, it's a very subtle feeling, I can't explain it—wait!"
"Camus?" Huayuan Li touched his pale cheeks a little worriedly, "Your face is not very good, what happened?"
"The alarm in my head suddenly sounded so badly, damn it, at this time the doctor..." Camus frowned and grabbed Huayuan Li's hand impatiently, "We'll go back to the hotel to pack our luggage, and then prepare the transportation, in short, first Be prepared to evacuate at any time and see if you can reach someone. If I feel good, something bad is going to happen.”
…
Lux walked alone on the cold streets of Strasbourg, browsing aimlessly at the money-hungry goods in the window for tourists. At this moment, she wraps herself tightly with hats, scarves, masks, sunglasses and thick down jackets. From a distance, it looks like a ball. No one will think about her and the famous Lux. Lingus connected.
To the north of Strasbourg lies a dense forest, and the private estate in the forest is one of Lifonzi's many secret strongholds, in which she hides these days.
Lux chose this location as a hiding place after careful consideration. First, the 00 Qanta Gundam can be easily and quickly transferred by using the Rhine waterway. Second, the old tourist city will not have strict security checks due to too many outsiders, nor Will look suspicious because there are too many locals.
The most important thing is that if she is really found, the other party is likely to be tied up because of the dense population here, thus giving her enough reaction time and sufficient room for countermeasures.
"Look at me, when I graduate, I will definitely not rely on the doctor's relationship, and I will enter the capital's first general hospital on the moon by my own ability!"
Lux glanced at the boy and girl across the street with a loud voice, and proceeded calmly. Ed always talks about the word "maliciousness of the world", and CC often says it under his influence, and now, even Lux herself can't tell if something is just a coincidence or not. .
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, everyone has been helped by Ed, and it was thanks to Ed who turned the tide several times that humanity almost perished, so..." She smiled and took out the key to open the car door. "This time, all mankind will work together to help Ed. Once, that's not too much of a request, is it?"
Now that I've met an acquaintance, it doesn't seem appropriate to hang around on the street. Lux took off her gloves and threw it on the co-pilot, moved her fingers that were a little stiff from the cold, and then controlled the car to start slowly. But there was one more thing she had to do before she could officially enter the forest.
In the dimly lit cabin, colorful colors flashed by. Lux, who had returned to her original state, rubbed her brows and sighed softly: "Nanali is indeed a smart person..."
The alarm in her head kept ringing, which meant that the manor where she was hiding was about to be or was being invaded. And the other party chose today with the most tourists, which means that the other party can't wait to choose a day to act. As soon as he gets the news, he can't wait to rush over, so the identity of the visitor can be easily guessed.
"CC..." Lux murmured the name, "Wait a moment, I'll pick you up right away, our family can get together again for Christmas..."
Nanali did not live up to her expectations and passed the information to Minerva, Minerva did not live up to her expectations and told CC the location, and CC did not live up to her expectations and cast herself into the net. In fact, it wasn't her original intention to design such a complicated trick, it was just a product of a whim under Nanali's instigation. Even if it didn't work, she would still have another way to lure CC over.
You must know that the simpler the calculation, the higher the success rate, and the more complex it is, the easier it is to make mistakes. In any case, what an excellent wise man can do beforehand is only to guide the big trend, and in the actual implementation process, there will always be unexpected surprises, whether the preparation is sufficient for people to make additional choices, and whether they can respond correctly when things come to an end. It's the final winner.
This is also the reason why she disdains some chess masters who claim to be wise. The limited calculation of fixed rules is really too pale in the face of the infinitely changing reality and people's hearts. To give a simple example, it seems that even if Ed can play chess with Alice, as long as the NT and emotional factors are eliminated, she has full confidence to eat Ed to death.
To give another inappropriate example, because the CEO caught a cold and had diarrhea the night before, and all the toilets nearby just ran out of paper, he was stuck in the bathroom and couldn't get to the negotiating table, which made a group of bigwigs rack their brains to come up with it. It is not unheard of in the history of absurd and stupid stories like dark humour to be forced to fail due to the incompetence of the subs.
Of course, if the substitute is a talent who has no chance to perform on weekdays, and finally successfully saves the crisis by himself, it will be another cool article.
Time passed quickly in my thoughts, and it didn't take long for the car to reach the edge of the forest, but Lux did not enter it, but turned and drove to a warehouse under her banner by the Rhine River, where 00 Qanta has always been placed. inside. There was no evidence that CC came alone, and it was normal for her to raid the hideout with a team of special forces, Lux wouldn't go back stupidly.
Being overturned by absolute violence is her favorite and most hated routine.
But when she sat in the cockpit of 00 Qanta, the shocked expression finally appeared on her face. The main screen of the cockpit displayed a picture near the manor passed down by the subordinates. The MS, which symbolizes the highest force of the moon, stands in front of the gate of a private residence in France. If this scene is spread out, there will be an uproar in the world.
"Nanali's interference, Minerva's assertiveness, and Roland's determination..." She showed a smile that she didn't even notice. "Ed, it seems that I miscalculated."
Happy belated new year~
The unit's annual pot-taking meeting was successfully completed ten minutes ago. After a full exchange of opinions among various departments, I regrettably finished at the bottom with zero pot results due to the gap between the two businesses, so I will resume daily updates from tomorrow.
As for today, the tongue war with the Confucian scholars has made them exhausted and exhausted.
Finally, I wish you all the best of luck in your studies, work, and difficulties in the new year, and don't resign at will before you find a good home!
