In a slightly shabby box-style restaurant, Le Yuan and Barnett sat face to face at the window seat. Only five minutes after ordering, two apple pies were brought out by a slightly plump waiter.
“Hmm—” Barnett took a deep breath of the sweet smell escaping from the apple pie, gave Le Yuan a thumbs up and said, “It’s this taste that is unforgettable no matter how many times you eat it. "
"In that case, let's enjoy it. Solve the case early so that we can come here and enjoy the delicious apple pie without any pressure." As he said this, Le Yuan lowered his head and started fighting with the apple pie.
"Huh?" Just when Le Yuan was concentrating on his life-and-death struggle with Apple Pie, Barnett on the opposite side was obviously distracted. He raised his head and looked behind Le Yuan, and was stunned.
"Ta, ta, ta -" Two people came to Le Yuan's table, and one of them, a slightly older voice, said happily: "Hahaha, isn't this the talkative Barnett? This is you His partner? What a dynamic kid."
Le Yuan raised his head and looked at the two people who came. One of them, the white-haired old man, was not very familiar, but the other one was very familiar. He was Agent K, whom the "original body" particularly admired.
"Hello, sir, are you here to eat pie too?" Le Yuan immediately stopped and took the initiative to say hello.
Agent D on the side asked Agent K to sit down, and then shouted to the waiter: "Two apple pies, thank you."
After finishing speaking, Agent D said to Barnett: "What's the matter, are you still looking for potential juniors? You really can't become an official agent tomorrow, and you are still sitting in the logistics team. It's really hard to see. I know what you’re thinking.”
"Hahaha, you are the same old Dill. You are too old to retire early. I have found the guy who can inherit my dream. He is the one." Barnett pointed at Dill next to him. Le Yuan said, "This kid is not only good at skills, but also a natural agent. We found important clues today."
Barnett winked at Le Yuan. Le Yuan understood and quickly took out the bag containing the unknown alien hair from his arms and said, "This is it. It was found at the crime scene. Although I don't know the specific details." The ingredients are not those of normal earth organisms."
"So when and where did that guy appear?" Agent K picked up the hair and looked at it and couldn't help but ask.
Barnett now completely became a foodie, focusing on the apple pie on his plate, and handed over the heavy responsibility of commentary to Le Yuan.
"At 21 o'clock last night, there were no other witnesses except that witness near the west street of Greenwich Village, so the purpose of that guy is completely unclear."
"Last night at 21 o'clock, Greenwich Village? Is it such a coincidence?" At this time, the apple pie ordered by Agent K happened to arrive. Agent K handed the hair back to Le Yuan and said, "You go ahead with this Take it back for testing and give me the results as soon as possible."
The first meeting between Le Yuan and the protagonist Agent K ended like this. Le Yuan and Barnett then rushed back to the MIB headquarters and handed the hair tissue to the Investigation Department for analysis.
"Hey, Barnett, why did you do that today? You seemed eager to introduce me to Agent K. What happened?" Judging from the original memory, although Barnett was rude, he shouldn't be that eager. It's only right to send Le Yuan out.
But Barnett took out a newspaper, flipped it over, and said lightly: "Isn't this great? You met your idol and showed your face in front of him. Maybe he will be his next partner. Even you can’t tell!”
The incandescent lamp on the ceiling illuminated the room brightly, but Le Yuan could not see Barnett's face clearly. In addition to the obstruction of the newspaper, it was more that he seemed to have completely closed his heart at this time, preventing Le Yuan from seeing him. Yuan knew what he really wanted to do.
"Barnett, have you been in MBI for a long time? It seems that you are very familiar with Agent D?" Looking back on the day, the conversation between Barnett and Agent D did not seem like a superior-subordinate relationship at all. Instead, they were like long-time friends, "And chatty Barnett, does that mean you? Is that your nickname?"
"I think you are more suitable for this nickname now, Chatty Zack, but you are right about one thing. I have indeed stayed in MIB for a long time, and this is where I have always been." Banai Te put away the newspaper in his hand, turned the swivel chair and looked at Le Yuan.
Seeing Barnett admitting directly, Le Yunzhuo slid directly towards Barnett on the swivel chair. Just when he was about to hit him, he stopped with his feet and said, "Why don't you explain it? As a partner, I am I’m very curious, don’t you want to become an official agent as soon as possible?”
"Do you know what it means to be a member of MIB?" Barnett said, looking at Le Yuan.
"Hmm? What does it mean?" Le Yuan picked up an apple from the table on one side and was about to take a bite. But Barnett took it directly from Le Yuan's hand and looked at him seriously.
"Hey, you don't have to be like this, right? Such a serious face doesn't suit you at all." Although he said this, Le Yuan calmed down and looked at Barnett. The middle-aged man in front of him seemed to have an unknown past. .
Barnett played with the apple in his hand and said without raising his head: "Being a member of MIB is indeed a very cool thing, but the moment you join, you can only wear the clothes specified by MIB. Live according to the identity given to you by the organization, eat in designated places, live in designated places, and erase all your past records. Fingerprints, ID cards, education, and medical records will all be erased. You will become a person who will not be left behind by anyone. People with memories, even if they meet acquaintances, they can only be regarded as familiar people, do you still think it's cool?"
"How long have you been a member?" Le Yuan asked directly after hearing this.
Barnett raised two fingers and said: "23 years, I remember it very clearly, 23 years, 7 months and 17 days."
"Have you ever regretted it? After joining..."
"Man, how can you have regrets? And now we are not living for ourselves, everything we do is to protect more people!" Barnett patted Le Yuan on the shoulder and said resolutely.
"Ding-" Suddenly a new report email came from the computer screen on the table. After reading it, Barnett shouted: "There are results, please pass it on to Agent K."
"Baxter, a professional killer star, looks like a bat. He is good at using the night to assassinate targets. He is a famous killer in the galaxy." New information sent by readers of Le Yuan, "How did this kind of alien killer come to Earth? , who is his target?”
"Who knows about this kind of thing? Let's leave it to Agent K and the others. It's no longer the responsibility of those of us in the logistics team." As a senior MIB agent, Barnett understands that the most important thing to do now is What.
At night, Le Yuan had already handed over the work from MIB and was about to return to his apartment. He had just arrived on the floor where his room was located. Who knew that as soon as he walked through the corridor, he saw the figure of Griffin, a five-dimensional life form.
"I guess the bag in your hand must contain beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, celery, pumpkin, and cauliflower, right?" This was the first thing Griffin said after seeing Le Yuan.
Le Yuan nodded numbly and said, "Is this what you said during the day? When I need your help?"
"Hahaha, don't you really want to make a big contribution now? The opportunity will come soon." Griffin pushed Le Yuan to the front of the house.
Le Yuan took out the key and opened the door, and Griffin walked to the refrigerator on the side with unusual ease, took out a bag of potato chips from it and said: "Can I eat this bag of potato chips? Actually, I don't I must eat it, but if I eat it, I will only be eighty percent full for the next dinner, and I personally prefer it... "
"OK, OK, everything is up to you. You can do whatever you want. I'll go get started first." After speaking, Le Yuan walked towards the kitchen carrying the ingredients.
Half an hour later, when Le Yuan returned to the living room after cooking all the food, he saw that the potato chip bag in Griffin's hand was already empty and he was laughing while watching a comedy on TV.
"Okay, I've prepared dinner, let's eat together." After speaking, Le Yuan turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"Let me guess, you prepared beef patties with special celery sauce, egg and tomato clear soup, and tomatoes with cauliflower." Le Yuan stopped as Griffin spoke, but he became more and more excited as he spoke. , when he came to the table, he laughed happily and said: "You also have pumpkin pie for dessert after the meal. It's great. You made the best choice."
"I made the best choice? What does this mean?" Le Yuan sat down and said while cutting the beef patties.
"Wow, that's what it tastes like." Griffin took a bite of the beef patty and showed his happiness. Then he realized that Le Yuan had asked a question. He quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped the sauce from his mouth and said, "From what I saw In the future, you made this dinner, and the most important thing is the pumpkin pie you made for me, because it distinguishes your future possibilities."
Le Yuan picked up a piece of pumpkin pie and took a bite and said: "The future is deflected because of a small pumpkin pie, so this future is too worthless!"
"No object exists in isolation. I can see clearly that your wish will be realized tomorrow, and at the same time the things that determine your future will also appear in front of your eyes. I can only say that it is really magical. Although the thing is small, it contains endless energy." Just after Griffin finished speaking, he lowered his head and started eating again.
"Endless energy, galaxy?"
