The Ace of the Far East slowly straightened his body and looked at the tall man opposite him in a daze with satisfaction.
He reached out and took the still burning cigarette from Lu Yuan's hand. He casually threw it into the trash can not far away and repeated what he had just said, "… Winter is here. Will spring be far behind?"
Lu Yuan came back to his senses and subconsciously said, "Yes, because in some places, it's winter all year round."
At this moment, it was the Ace of the Far East who was stunned.
Although he had been puzzled for a long time, and although he had been mentally prepared when this person walked out from behind the holly tree and asked him about Yeltsin and Gorbachev, when he heard with his own ears that the other party had caught the code word he had thrown out, his heart still felt as if a hurricane had swept through the surface of the sea, and even the things hidden deep at the bottom of the sea had been dug out.
The two of them stood silently in the snowy night and looked at each other, almost like two motionless sculptures.
The snow was already falling fast and fast, and soon a layer of sparkling snow covered their shoulders and heads.
After a long time, Lu Yuan let out a soft sigh and said, "… You're finally here …"
His voice was so low and ethereal, and the moment it left his mouth, it disappeared without a trace with the snow.
However, the Ace of the Far East's sharp ears still caught this inexplicable sentence.
He didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. Then, he asked out of the blue, "… You sent us the coordinates, right?"
Lu Yuan reached out and brushed the snow off the Ace of the Far East's head and shoulders. He said kindly, "Yes, you did a good job. It's the most gratifying thing that our country has a successor. "
The Ace of the Far East's eyes instantly turned red, but he was already standing with his back to the light. Under the cover of the night, even Lu Yuan, who was opposite him, didn't notice this detail.
He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. "I've disappointed you. I came here purely for personal matters."
Lu Yuan didn't smile. He shook his head solemnly. "No, I'm not disappointed. She's worth it. "
For outsiders, the standard for judging whether something should be done was whether it was worth it or not.
However, Huo Shaoheng knew very well that even if it wasn't worth it, he would still do it.
This was the only time in his life that he had been willful, and it was also the choice he had made after careful consideration.
However, he didn't refute Lu Yuan. He just said, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have recovered."
He now completely understood why Gu Nianzhi had been sent to them and why he had been appointed to take over.
Even though the man in front of her was in a foreign land, he was still concerned about Song Jinning's illness.
In front of this person, Huo Shaoheng did not need to pretend anymore.
He was his senior, and also his elder.
"But, how did you know about my mother …" Huo Shaoheng was confused.
As far as he knew, after the experiment failed 18 years ago, this person, who was his uncle, Huo Guanyuan, disappeared without a trace.
At that time, he probably didn't know about Song Jinning's condition.
At this moment, Lu Yuan also confessed his identity. He had hidden his identity for 18 years in this strange yet familiar world.
"I'm your uncle, Huo Guanyuan. After that failed experiment, I was blasted unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a strange place, and the four soldiers who came with me were already dead beside me. "
Huo Shaoheng's heart tightened.
This was caused by the fact that the corresponding bodies couldn't coexist in the same space-time, right?
Huo Guanyuan continued, "Then I met … Lu Jin, Nianzhi's father. He was the first to discover the abnormal magnetic field fluctuations, find our coordinates, and help me cremate the four soldiers. "
"It was also him. After understanding the situation of our experiment in detail, he told me about the possible consequences of the magnetic field resonance experiment. One of them was that the brain would be disturbed by the high-energy magnetic field, causing a genetic imbalance, which was also a phenomenon of mental disorder."
"I …" Huo Guanyuan was a little embarrassed. He said embarrassedly, "Lu Jin helped me see your mother's condition through the magnetic field monitoring."
At that time, he could have used energy to directly contact the other world.
However, he had used a small amount of energy, and what he saw was Song Jinning's mental disorder.
From then on, he had decided to help Song Jinning recover.
Because Lu Jin had told him that this disorder was not incurable.
However, Lu Jin did not have much energy stored at that time, and he was deeply distrustful of the other world. Therefore, after observing for a period of time, he turned off the monitoring to save energy.
In the subsequent contact, he only gave Huo Guanyuan a very small amount of energy to communicate with the other world.
Huo Guanyuan considered this complicated situation, and didn't want this kind of experiment to be used by those with ulterior motives on the other side. They would disregard the lives of the soldiers and forcefully conduct more experiments. Therefore, he used a very obscure method to guide the other party step by step to achieve his goal of saving Song Jinning.
In fact, his concerns were completely correct.
Then, he took out four military identification cards and said to Huo Shaoheng, "These are their relics, as well as their ashes. If there's a chance, help me bring them back."
"Aren't you going back?" Huo Shaoheng didn't take the four military identification cards. He asked calmly, "It's better if you take them back yourself."
Huo Guanyuan gripped the four military identification cards tightly. Veins popped out on the back of his hand, and his voice was exceptionally hoarse. "… I won't go back."
"Oh? I heard that you haven't started a family here yet. You have a wife and daughter over there. Why don't you go back? "Huo Shaoheng asked calmly." Besides, our country needs people like you. "
Huo Shaoheng sincerely admired this uncle of his.
"No, I'm already old. Our country is relying on you now. Huo Guanyuan still stubbornly extended his hand and handed the four military identification cards to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the man in front of him quietly. He thought of his paintings and the things that were buried deep in his heart. He seemed to understand his stubbornness.
"You're really not going back?" Huo Shaoheng slowly reached out his hand with a deep regret on his face. "It's a pity that a lot has changed over the years. Have you paid attention to it? "
Huo Guanyuan sighed again. "Every observation consumes energy. In order to save energy, we don't do meaningless surveillance. "
Every time the two worlds were connected, whether it was communication, real-time surveillance, or direct travel between the two worlds, it would consume energy.
He and Lu Jin weren't as rich as He Chengjian and the others. They could contact the other world however they wanted and didn't care about the energy consumption.
After all, they were acting on behalf of the country. They weren't like Huo Guanyuan and Lu Jin who were playing a small game.
But it was also because of this that when He Chengjian ordered his men to kidnap Gu Nianzhi and bring her back, Lu Jin fought an energy war with them. These people got carried away and used up the huge amount of energy they had stored, leaving only a little bit of energy left to monitor the other world.
Huo Shaoheng saw that Huo Guanyuan's understanding of their world was still stuck at the level of more than a decade ago, so he quickly began to explain to him.
"My mother was mentally abused by your daughter, Huo Jialan, during those more than a decade of illness. She almost lost her life. If it weren't for Nianzhi, my mother wouldn't have lived to send me here. "
"What?! Jialan?! How dare she …! " Huo Guanyuan almost lost his mind when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and a rare expression of anger appeared on his face.
"Yes, and Bai Jinyi. Do you know her? After my mother fell ill, she took over the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and became my father's girlfriend. By the way, she killed your wife, Luo Xinxue, in order to take away your phone 11 years ago. "
After seeing Huo Guanyuan's extremely shocked expression again, Huo Shaoheng said with satisfaction, "But don't be angry. Nianzhi has already helped Aunt clear her name and sent Bai Jinyi to prison. Huo Jialan, who is now Luo Jialan, is also in prison for treason. "
Huo Guanyuan's mind was digesting so much information that was completely different from what he knew, and his mind was in a mess.
Even though he was especially good at hiding his emotions, he couldn't control his expression at this moment.
"… Xinxue is already dead? Bai Jinyi became your father's girlfriend? Then your mother … "Huo Guanyuan stammered, his heart beating like a drum.
"Yes, my father divorced my mother many years ago on the grounds that she was seriously ill and couldn't live as a couple. That's why he could find a serious girlfriend." Huo Shaoheng returned to his normal deep and magnetic voice. His tone was very heavy.
Huo Guanyuan could hardly believe his ears. His face instantly turned red. "What reason did your father use?! How could he be so shameless?! "
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to talk about these things, so he immediately said, "By the way, we also know that Luo Jialan isn't your biological daughter, but the posthumous child of your comrade."
Huo Guanyuan felt a little guilty about his wife's death.
He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him.
If it weren't for that phone, Luo Xinxue wouldn't have been killed.
Huo Guanyuan knew that he was responsible because he didn't treat her as his real wife at all. Therefore, he didn't expect that his "relic" would be handed over to his "wife".
"Then, what about your grandmother?" Huo Guanyuan couldn't help asking. He had thought that his "relic" would be handed over to his mother, Xie Ziyan.
Huo Shaoheng's expression truly dimmed. "Grandmother also passed away not long after you left."
Huo Guanyuan thought about the changes in the world over the past 18 years and sorted out his thoughts.
"In other words, your grandmother has passed away, Luo Xinxue is dead, Bai Jinyi and Luo Jialan are in prison, and your father and your mother divorced many years ago?!"
Huo Shaoheng nodded heavily and asked hopefully, "Then, do you still want to stay here?"
