Chang Sansi left so suddenly, even Chen Xian didn't expect him to leave Ningchuan so soon.
After walking out of the conference room, Chang Sansi simply greeted Fatty Huo and the others without any explanation for what happened before, and left the branch office directly with his subordinates. When he left, he looked very uncomfortable. He was happy, it seemed that someone had provoked him, and he spoke with anger... This is what Fatty Huo told Chen Xian afterwards.
"What happened before?"
In the spare conference room on the second floor, Fatty Huo asked Chen Xian such a question very curiously and seriously, and other section chiefs also expressed their desire to solve the problem, all of them looked at Chen Xian expectantly, hoping that he could answer all the questions. Everyone's doubts.
These section chiefs are actually not the kind of curious people, but what happened before was too weird.
There was a muffled noise in the conference room.
There is also the sound of an explosion.
Of course, the most difficult thing for them to understand was the previous circuit accident.
The building where the Ningchuan Sub-bureau is located has a total of 65 floors. The power system is divided into two sets of lines, the 1st to 2nd floors and the basement of dozens of floors. They use a single set of power lines. Another set of power lines was used.
The lines that had problems before were on the 3rd to 65th floors. At the moment of the accident, the power system supplying dozens of floors was paralyzed. A short circuit occurred due to electromagnetic interference, and all the wires buried in the wall and all the equipment in the energized state were burned.
It is no exaggeration to say that this time the Ningchuan branch suffered a huge loss, even Chen Xian, who has always been very responsible, did not dare to tell the truth at this juncture, because this matter... is too outrageous.
When he climbed downstairs with Fatty Huo and the others, Chen Xian could still hear their swearing and complaints.
"Maybe this electrical accident was caused by the surname Chang! This is so fucking grandson! I burned my phone while it was charging!" Fatty Huo scolded.
"Didn't my computer burn while it was still on? I didn't save a pile of sorted data, what am I saying?" Zhao Song said with a face full of resentment.
"All the computers in our investigation department are gone, and there are no more than one of the sixty-two computers left. I'm so stupid!" Song Jueming scolded this with a murderous expression on his face.
"If the person surnamed Chang is not the minister, I will definitely screw his head off right now." It was the first time that Tu Sen had such a big resentment towards his superiors, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, "So many devices are gone... this is amazing How much money will it take to get it back!"
Chen Xian fell silent.
Chen Xian frightened and fell silent.
If I admit now that this accident was caused by me...they wouldn't have joined forces to do me, right
"Xiao Chen? Hello?"
After being yelled by Fatty Huo several times in a row, Chen Xian slowly woke up.
He first looked at Fatty Huo and the others calmly, then controlled his expression a little bit, and tried his best to adjust his tone to make his speech sound more real.
I am a good person.
I am a well-educated good person.
I shouldn't have lied.
I should be an honest and responsible person.
Chen Xian kept saying this to himself in his heart.
"The accident that happened before was indeed caused by Minister Chang. I didn't expect it to be like this." Chen Xian sighed, sold Chang Sansi calmly, and continued to blame Chang Sansi calmly. "He gave me a gift, he said it was a special reward from the headquarters, and asked me to accept it immediately, but as soon as I accepted it...you will know the next thing."
Chen Xian raised his hand and pointed to the chandelier on the ceiling.
"The wires in the conference room all shorted out and the light bulbs blew up."
"Fuck! It really is him!" Fatty Huo slapped the table, the fat on his face jumping up and down with anger, "My phone fell into his hands!"
"My computer..." Song Jueming wept.
"Our funds!" Tu Sen stared as if he wanted to eat people.
Only Zhao Song didn't speak. He sighed a long time, and seemed to feel that getting angry would not solve the problem. Instead, he asked Chen Xian, "What gift did he give you?"
"This." As soon as Chen Xian raised his hand, black metal dust began to gather in his palm, forming a small metal tornado that was constantly rotating. The electrical system, that's why those lines..."
Chen Xian did not hide the existence of the parasite at all, because if it was necessary to keep it secret, Chang Sansi should have told him to warn him long ago, but the fact was that there was no such thing. If you tell the inside of the sub-bureau, you don't need to hide it from your own people.
All the people present were attracted by the metal tornado in Chen Xian's hand in an instant, they couldn't sit still in their chairs, they all got up and came to Chen Xian's side, looking at it curiously and carefully.
"What is this?" Fatty Huo was the first to ask.
"A metallic parasite."
Chen Xian replied, flipping it lightly, the metal dust turned into a fish wagging its tail in an instant, suspended in Chen Xian's palm, although the color could not be changed, but the unique spirituality of that creature On the contrary, it was fully interpreted by the metal dust, and it looked like a real fish alive.
"After reaching a symbiotic relationship with me, this parasite seems to be able to be controlled by me at will. I heard from Minister Chang that it has a strong defense and should be used as a special armor."
"Damn it... this is too sci-fi..." Song Jueming's dirty face was almost stuck on the metal fish, and his eyes, which were red from staying up late for a long time, were staring like never before. There was a big question, "Is this the latest high-tech product produced by the scientific research department? Is it not for sale?"
"It should be." Chen Xian nodded, "I heard from Minister Chang that it is quite precious."
quite
If Chang Sansi heard Chen Xian speak like this here, he would definitely slap his mouth out.
From ancient times to the present, there are only three such parasites in the whole country, and you can cover them with a single word
Isn't this cheap and good-looking!
"Is it because he let you parasitize this thing that he burned the circuit?" Tu Sen said suddenly, his eyes were very angry, "Why didn't he change the place and let you parasitize it again? Burning the power system of our branch office is very interesting!"
"I also think that Minister Chang has given too little consideration. If he had known that this would be the case..." Chen Xian sighed, speaking to the point, with a heartbroken expression on his face.
The corners of Fatty Huo's mouth twitched, apparently holding back the most unpleasant swear words, and in the end there were only eight words.
"That grandson is too grandson!"
…
Beijing headquarters.
In the bureau chief's office, Lao Zhou was smoking leaf tobacco with a pipe. It was rare for him to come back, and it was rare for him to be as leisurely as today.
Of course, that old friend still spoke as impolitely as before, with the tone of a hooligan, and there was a faint sense of threat in his words, as if he would rush up to beat people if he disagreed with him.
"Zhou, are you sure that thing can protect that brat? If you dare to shake me and make fun of me, I'll go to your headquarters and beat you!"
It is no exaggeration to say that if outsiders were present and heard these voices on the phone, they would definitely be stunned.
How many people in the whole country dare to talk to the director like that
Even if you have a strong heart and courage, you can't be Meng Lang to this extent!
"I'm sure, no... what am I doing to tease you?" Old Zhou was smoking a pipe with a smile on his face. He seemed to have gotten used to this old friend's way of speaking for a long time. He didn't show any anger at all. Very happy, "That parasite was just produced by the scientific research department, and its defense is so strong that you can't believe it!"
"Strong defense?" The old man on the other side of the phone seemed a little puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with what we're talking about?"
"Its defense is not only external, but also internal." Lao Zhou said calmly, as if he meant something, "It can prevent things from the outside from getting in, and things from the inside can't get out. "
"Better than the amulet I gave him?" the person on the phone asked dubiously.
"According to the analysis of the known data so far, it should have the strongest effect of consolidating the soul and guarding the soul. At least the known talisman creations and magic tools can't compare with it." Lao Zhou smiled, " Besides, you gave him the amulet for a fart, and he lost it eight lifetimes ago."
"Lost it?" The person on the other end of the phone jumped up anxiously, "When did he lose it? That talisman cost me a lot of hard work! I'm going to the northwest..."
"Who told you to lie to him all the time." Old Zhou said gloatingly, and interrupted the old man, "I guess he thought it was a street stall you found casually, so he didn't worry about it. As for when he lost it... Anyway When I met him last year, he wasn't wearing that amulet."
"Damn you didn't say it earlier!" the person on the other end of the phone cursed.
"Why are you in a hurry? Isn't I watching here?" Lao Zhou smiled brighter, "I didn't assign him any cases that threatened him. The chance of him having problems is zero, and... if That thing came out so easily, didn’t it come out sooner? Isn’t he still fine now?”
The old man on the phone was silent for a while, and his voice suddenly became much lower.
"It's better for us to be careful. Don't joke about it. If that thing comes out of his body, no one can say how many people will die... You and I have both seen it, and you should know that it has How terrible."
Hearing this, Lao Zhou stopped laughing.
"It should have been growing for so many years, and its strength must not be what it used to be. It was just a fluke that we could barely suppress it. If it comes out again..." The old man on the phone sighed, "It's not easy, we can do it too No."
"I know." Lao Zhou took a drag on his cigarette, "That's why I asked them to give him the parasite."
"I don't worry about your work. Since you are so sure...then I won't ask any more questions." The old man laughed slowly and asked casually, "Old Zhou, I have known you for decades, and now I have It’s just that you have quite a status in the Bureau of Keeping Secrets, and you can give such good things as parasites, and those elm heads in the scientific research department just listen to you?”
"Acquaintances are easy to handle! I have someone above me!" Lao Zhou said with a smile.
"Is there someone above you?" The person on the other side of the phone seemed very curious, "Who is so handy?"
"Director." Lao Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and replied calmly.
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and after almost half a minute, the old man spoke slowly.
"We are all very old, and half of our feet are in the coffin. Aren't you ashamed of bragging?"
"Really, the director is my cousin."
"Then you want to say that the director is still my cousin, you shameless."
"..."
