Mist - Chapter 75
[1456.6.1703:30:21]
Three white capsules suddenly appeared on the transfer platform.
The hatch opened, and three figures in black combat uniforms walked out of the capsule with a “7” sign written on their chests.
In the quiet and busy third command center, someone screamed and broke the glass.
Immediately afterwards, all the people who worked around the clock swarmed in cheers.
“It’s Team Seven!”
“The Seventh Team is back!!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! The seventh team is back!”
“Why are there only three people?”
“Hurry up and notify the commander-in-chief and Bureau Wang!”
Two minutes later, amidst the noise, three more capsule cabins quietly appeared on the teleportation station.
In the capsule compartment, the transparent panel lights up.
In this slightly dazzling light, Song Qinglan saw the robotic arm handing the nutrient solution, and he took a few sips, and before suppressing the nausea in the aftermath of the transition, the prompt was replaced on the panel.
[Welcome, Song Qinglan, welcome back to the sky. ]
[Congratulations, you have completed 13 A-level missions, 21 B-level missions, 2 super S-level missions, and 1 S-level mission. Current rating: ***. ]
The rating result is displayed as garbled characters, and the system seems to be unable to settle such a complex task amount. Soon it will switch to a new display: [Current rating: To be determined. ]
Looking at the numbers, Song Qinglan asked the robotic arm to store the nutrient solution, then released the safety chair button and opened the capsule compartment door.
“Team Song!”
“Team Song!”
Teammates and staff turned around one after another.
Li Chun and Zhou Mingxuan came out of the capsule with Song Qinglan.
The excitement of the people was overwhelming, and the interrogators quickly arrived at the scene and performed preliminary checks on their physical conditions one by one.
Wearing a vest, Song Qinglan was slightly shorter for the examiner to measure her blood pressure and pulse, her eyes swept across the crowd. He saw Li Chun Zhou Mingxuan who came back with him, and Tang Qi, Tang Le, and Duan Wen who came back earlier than them, except for the thin and thin figure.
Her heart sank, Song Qinglan scanned the audience again and looked back at the capsule cabin.
The six capsule cabins stopped quietly on the transfer platform.
Zhou Mingxuan also discovered this: “Where is Consultant Ji?”
Duan Wen: “Counselor Season?!”
Tang Le said: “Fuck, didn’t we come back together? Where did Consultant Ji go?”
“Quickly check, is he still on his way to the transition!”
“Report! Found that the seventh team still lacks a player!”
“To enter the search mode, you need to confirm the time coordinates of the last transition!”
…
The monsoon did not come back as scheduled.
The Seventh Sky Team, which had disappeared for a whole month, came back, which caused a great sensation inside the Sky.
Especially after the news that the 7 players only returned to 6 players spread like wildfire, it caused an unprecedented amount of discussion.
Where did the seventh team go, why only six people came back, and what happened during the rainy season that was seconded from Ningcheng… These topics can be questioned no matter which one they are.
Unlike the last time they were intercepted and returned to the bubble world, this time they were sent back by the Sky System, so the physical condition of the seventh team is still good. After the inquirers gave them a preliminary check one by one, they were asked to return to their respective rooms on the training ground of the seven teams to take a rest.
Everyone understands that this is the same as in the bubble world. This arrangement has another meaning: they have the right to go home only after they have cooperated and explained the process of all things and completed the psychological evaluation report.
As the team leader, Song Qinglan was not allowed to rest. As soon as he returned to the sky, he was forced to have a three-hour conversation in the inspection department.
Office of the inspection department.
After Song Qinglan drank the fourth cup of water, the sky was completely bright.
The venetian blinds were opened by the assistant, and the light shot into Song Qinglan’s eyes.
The sunlight in the real world has been shining into his pupils for a long time, making him feel dazzling, but he did not block it with the back of his hand.
The inspector rushed to work overtime early in the morning and obviously did not sleep well, but because the return of the 7th team left a big rock in their hearts, their attitude was much more amicable than usual. He wanted to let Song Qinglan go back to rest earlier.
Before ending the conversation, he asked Song Qinglan: “Do you know why we found you missing so quickly?”
Generally speaking, when the guardian loses contact within 24 hours of the completion of the mission plan, the inspection department will intervene in the investigation. But Song Qinglan already knew that on the day of their departure on May 17, the Third Command Center discovered that they were missing and has been working hard to find them.
But it may be that after being successfully intercepted by the Bubble World, the so-called “sky dome in the sense of all times” modified the concealment of the time coordinate, so that his inspection department never found anything.
The room was air-conditioned, and Song Qinglan was wearing a shirt thrown to him by the inspector.
He hadn’t had time to shave, and this kind of gentle dress didn’t make the unruly sharp feeling in him calmer.
Hearing this question, Song Qinglan squinted her black eyes in the sun, her expression showing no signs of fatigue.
There is no doubt that after these tasks, Song Qinglan immediately went to the fighting arena to fight a game without losing.
“Relax.” The inspector laughed, and then said the answer, “We found out that you were missing so quickly because of your phone call.”
Song Qinglan remembered.
“A few seconds after you set off, Minister Wang, who was still in the command center, received a call.” The inspector said, “You are the caller.”
In the bubble world, at the last moment of being intercepted by that world.
Minister Wang’s number was dialed during the rainy season.
The inspector said: “We searched your locker, but found your phone that is still turned off. How could someone who was on the way to make a call? Fortunately, this has been on the list of weird things in the past ten years since the establishment of the sky. It’s nothing.”
Time, space.
The era of mastering the transition of time and space gave birth to the sky, and also these people who worked for the sky.
“So we firmly believe that we will find you sooner or later.” The inspector asked the final question, “Team Song, where do you think you will go during the monsoon rain?”
Song Qinglan folded her arms and said calmly, “I don’t know.”
The inspector said: “Let’s tell you this. Entering the sky during the monsoon season, he filled in the goal wish a long time ago. There is a reason for him to enter the sky, but unfortunately he has not enough points and has not passed the psychological evaluation. Of course, his performance It’s always been very good, and it is not ruled out that he may be forced to stay in other time and space. If you know the situation, we hope to get him back as soon as possible.”
This is a kind of euphemistic reminder.
No matter what Song Qinglan answers, Tianqiong will send inspectors to track down the monsoon season that year.
If Song Qinglan could tell them earlier, they would be able to stop the monsoon rains before everything happened.
“You should see the settlement prompt in our personal task rating? After completing the task, each of us received a reward. The reward content is to go to any time and space without affecting the timeline.” Song Qinglan said, “It was given by the higher authority Sky Qiong… Maybe the superior department should immediately understand its authority, and don’t let it continue to hijack our people. We don’t need such a reward.”
For people in reality, they just disappeared for a month.
But for everyone in the Seventh Sky Team, the real time experience far exceeds that.
Song Qinglan spoke politely, but not very politely: “But you can rest assured, I believe that Consultant Ji will not do anything to disturb the timeline.”
Walking out of the inspection department, Song Qinglan’s face was sinking.
He passed the brightly-lit Skydome base, passed the teleportation module, and passed many offices.
He is tall and long in legs, and he walks like the wind, and he has met many colleagues he knows along the way.
The people who had always been gossiping saw him look bad and hurried, knowing that the return of the seventh team was missing one player, and they only greeted him conservatively.
Minister Wang stood at the end of the corridor, wearing a pearl white suit and stepping on high heels. He had obviously been waiting for a long time.
“Little Song!”
As soon as he saw him coming, Minister Wang stretched out his arms.
Song Qinglan half leaned down and gave her a hug: “Minister Wang.”
Not Professor Wang in the bubble world, but the real Minister Wang.
For a time, Song Qinglan felt like a world away.
Minister Wang patted him comfortably on his back, and when he separated, his eye circles were already red, and he didn’t know whether he was comforting Song Qinglan or comforting himself.
The sentimentality of the middle-aged female leader made Song Qinglan feel warm, and her tight expression relaxed a lot.
“Thanks for your hard work. After hearing the news of your return, I rushed to Sky Qiong to wait for you.” Minister Wang said, “This is the first time you have met the Inspection Department after so many assignments. They are like this. Regardless of whether you need to rest or not, they follow the rules anyway.”
Song Qinglan nodded: “I understand.”
Minister Wang trained Song Qinglan on his own. Knowing his temper, he came here early in the morning because he was afraid that he would not cooperate.
It seems that everything is going well, otherwise Song Qinglan would not be released so quickly.
Minister Wang cleared up his emotions and said gently: “The news has been released and your family members have been notified separately. It’s just that there is still a lot of aftermath work to be done in the last few days. You will be able to go home after everything is done.”
This is all convention.
Song Qinglan also understands.
But Minister Wang then said: “It’s just from Xiaoji’s side…We can’t explain this to their family for the time being, it’s a bit difficult to explain.”
Minister Wang is not the direct leader during the monsoon season, nor does he manage the inspection department, so he doesn’t know anything about private affairs during the monsoon season, let alone that he wants to go back more than ten years ago.
For her, she was more worried about what happened during the monsoon rains, or staying in a certain time and space.
Song Qinglan was silent for a while, and then said: “I’m here to contact Minister Lin.”
Minister Wang nodded, and then said: “Lao Lin heard that you came back and called to listen to the news. He asked several times and said that it was Xiao Ji’s cat that was almost depressed. Xiao Ji’s family members are all cultural people, his father I’m still a professor at Ningcheng University. My brother is also a teacher. His major is more or less tied to ours. It’s not difficult for them to understand—”
“The cat in the monsoon?”
Song Qinglan remembered that she missed his cat before she left during the monsoon rains, but now it seems that she might not think that way, otherwise, how could she run away.
“Yeah.” Minister Wang accompanied Song Qinglan to the top of the stairs. “He said that he had raised three of them. If there was something in the family, he couldn’t raise them, so he sent one to the Forestry Bureau.”
During the monsoon rains, the adoptive father is friends with the Forestry Bureau, which is not surprising.
But Minister Wang’s words made Song Qinglan faintly feel that something was wrong, and that feeling was fleeting in the words of Minister Wang.
After chatting for a few more words, Minister Wang patted him on the back and said kindly: “Shave and rest well. Go.”
Why is everyone paying attention to his beard?
Song Qinglan didn’t have time to take care of this, and strode into the training ground of the seventh team. All five players were sitting in the training ground, and it seemed that none of them were asleep.
“Team Song.”
“What did the Inspection Department call you to say?”
“Damn, they are not in a hurry to find consultant season?!”
Staying together day and night, the things we have experienced together are more than most people’s years of getting along.
No one of his teammates is anxious about the monsoon rains, especially Li Chun, who has always been heartless and accustomed to it. After knowing that it was because of himself that everyone returned in batches, he felt guilty and wanted to hit the wall. Even if the difference between their two batches of return is only two minutes, he still thinks it is his own pot-it seems that as long as the season consultant does not separate from the Song team, such a thing will definitely not happen.
Song Qinglan probably talked to everyone about the content of the conversation, leaving only the choice during the monsoon rains unmentioned.
Zhou Mingxuan, with small eyes, kept silent, and then asked, “Team Song, do you know where Consultant Ji has gone?”
Everyone was shocked, Song Qinglan knew?
Song Qinglan did not deny, but did not admit.
When other people saw him, they knew that they shouldn’t ask again, but Zhou Mingxuan didn’t fear him much because he knew him too much.
“When bidding farewell to the central block, you asked consultant Ji to wait for you, saying that there are very important things that require him to seriously consider.” Zhou Mingxuan said, “If it weren’t for what you mentioned,’That year, I will go with you’, I thought you were going to get basics.”
“Fuck, the situation was really **** in **** at the time.” Duan Wen said, “I didn’t think anything was wrong.”
“Plus 1.” Tang Le raised his hand.
“It’s not like talking about business, it’s a bit like chasing people.” Even Tang Qi said so, “I’ve seen Li Chun teasing sister, it’s almost the same.”
Song Qinglan: “…”
Zhou Mingxuan twitched his lips and smiled, and then asked, “So, did the season consultant redeem the reward and went to another time and space?”
Everyone is quiet.
Regardless of what consultant season chooses, closing the door is a matter for Team Seven.
As long as Song Qinglan thinks, he can deal with this group of people.
But after all, everyone is not an idiot, and when they really care about the monsoon rains, they have to vaguely replied, “Um.”
Tang Qi said, “That’s not right, why don’t I think that consultant Ji has agreed to wait for the Song team?”
At that time, everyone who was watching the whole farewell process remembered this.
Tang Le shook his head and said, “I didn’t agree at first, but later it seemed to agree.”
Duan Wen: “What did you say, Hasoram?”
Tang Le: “Yes, it’s this sentence, doesn’t it mean everything goes well?!”
Everyone was talking so loud that Song Qinglan’s temples were jumping.
“You got it wrong.” At this moment, Li Chun, who was squatting on the ground, raised his hand, weakly, “Although…Hashoram, I mean I like you.”
Everyone: “!!!”
In an instant, the needle fell in the training ground and could be heard.
Song Qinglan put down her temple rubbing hand and turned her head stiffly: “What did you say?”
Li Chun looked at Song Qinglan, remembered the captain’s PTSD, and said with a guilty conscience: “I was in a panic in the space capsule for a few days, and I couldn’t dance every day. I learned from Big Beard, and I used it to tease my sister when I wanted to come back. “
He added, recklessly: “But how could Consultant Ji say this! I’m not at the scene, and I’m just a scumbag… Your pronunciation is not standard, so I must have made a mistake!”
