Lost and Spy

A small grocery store opened in an inconspicuous place in Manila.

This was one of the first shops opened after the Manila War.

And Jonathan knew that this was the secret contact point of the Strategic Intelligence Service in Manila designated by his superiors.

He took a deep breath and walked into the grocery store.

His brows immediately knitted together.

Damn, another person of color.

Why do I always meet people of color wherever I go?

But now, he has no choice.

"I want to buy a pack of cigarettes. Do you have Egyptian cigarettes?"

As soon as he came in, Jonathan gave the secret code.

The shop owner immediately said: "Egyptian cigarettes are gone long ago, but I have American cigarettes. Do you need them?"

"Yes, I won't buy one pack, I'll buy five packs."

The boss nodded: "Come with me to get it."

Jonathan followed him into the inner room.

"I'm Franco."

The store owner then introduced himself.

"Jonathan."

"Can I help you in any way, Mr. Jonathan?"

Jonathan was about to say something, but suddenly an additional thought came to his mind: "I need to rest here for a few days."

"Ok."

Franco looked Jonathan up and down: "Did something unpleasant happen to you, Mr. Jonathan?"

Of course, Jonathan knew that he looked very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Franco is obviously a considerate person: "Sir, I will prepare hot water for you to take a bath, and then change into a set of clean clothes."

Jonathan nodded: "Get me some more food."

"Okay, sir, just a moment."

……

Any case that seems incomprehensible must have a reasonable explanation.

Meng Shaoyuan was convinced of this.

There are no gods or ghosts in this world.

As for the four-dimensional space, invisible people, special powers, etc., I have never seen them before.

Things you have never seen before, from your own point of view, you can temporarily assume that they do not exist.

Amelia's case still aroused Meng Shaoyuan's curiosity.

After all, I haven't encountered such a bizarre case for a long time.

"I want to see Amelia." Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully: "I am the top security official in Manila. There is such a strange case in Manila, and I need to know all the inside information."

This request of his is absolutely irresistible.

……

Jonathan soaked himself in the barrel.

The hot water made him relax.

He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then suddenly opened them.

He grabbed the bath towel, put it on his body, and quietly walked to the door.

He opened the door a crack and looked outside.

Franco, call again!
asshole!

I just asked him, and he answered me that this grocery store doesn't have a phone!

But he is actually on the phone now!
He is deceiving himself!

Franco's voice was very low. Jonathan tried his best to listen, but only heard some intermittent words:
"Yes... I know, I will keep an eye on his... weapons... OK... I will prepare my weapons..."

Jonathan closed the door.

He did not return to the barrel of hot water.

After hastily wiping himself with a bath towel, Jonathan opened the window while getting dressed.

Without any hesitation, he climbed out of the window and left in a hurry.

Jonathan found himself caught up in a huge conspiracy.

But why is there this conspiracy?
Who is your opponent?
Why do they treat themselves like this?

Jonathan didn't know any of it.

But we can still be convinced that this is a conspiracy arranged by a group of yellow people!
You must calm down, you must find the truth, and you must dig these scum out of the darkness!

Guerrilla?
The most likely thing now is that the guerrillas will come to deal with him.

Not only did they discover the three corpses, but they also probably learned the secret of the gold.

Are they trying to get the right clues about gold from themselves?

The question is, why are they so powerful?

Why are there people like them all over Manila?

Could it be that there is a huge problem within the Strategic Intelligence Bureau?

……

Moroso is very satisfied with his current job.

He became a real chef.

Bono, the head of the kitchen, is very satisfied with the new chef named "Valen".

Not only is he quick with his hands and feet, and he cooks delicious food, but he is also very humble and hard-working.

No matter what it is, whether it is his responsibility or not, he will rush to do it.

Any leader would like this kind of person.

Moroso is ready to put down roots here.

When he is completely settled, he will find a local woman as his wife. In this way, the old Moroso will completely disappear.

Several American soldiers walked into the restaurant laughing and talking.

This is an old customer here.

As soon as he saw the menu, Moroso knew that it was Staff Sergeant Doug of the US Army who was here again.

Moroso cooked the food and brought it out to the American troops himself.

"Aha, Warren." Sergeant Doug greeted him warmly.

He likes this chef.

He can speak English, and his conversation is humorous. His cooking has been improved and is particularly suitable for American tastes.

"Look, Sergeant, I got some birds," Moroso said flatteringly, "Do you want to try them tomorrow?"

"Bird?" Sergeant Doug obviously couldn't accept it for a moment: "Can I eat it?"

"Of course, it's just like chicken, but more delicious than chicken." Moroso said with a smile: "But don't get addicted to it. Those birds will not obey my orders and run to the dinner plate. .”

These few words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Moroso was also smiling. He knew that he had successfully integrated into this place.

No one knew who Moroso was. The only person they knew was a funny chef named Valen.

……

Now, where else can I go?
No matter where you go, there will be people who want to harm you.Go directly to Manila Port?
This may be the best option.

A large number of U.S. troops are stationed there.

To the Port of Manila!
Jonathan hesitated no longer.

As long as you arrive at the Port of Manila, all your troubles will be solved soon!
……

"Colonel Charles."

As soon as he saw Colonel Charles, Varnado was surprised and happy. He hurriedly ran over, took out his cigarette and handed it to him in a flattering manner: "Why are you here?"

Meng Shaoyuan took the cigarette: "There is a woman named Amelia who you are responsible for guarding?"

"Ah, yes, you also know about this case?" Varnado used a lighter to help the colonel light a cigarette: "I have been a policeman for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a weird case."

"Yes."

Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette: "Come on, come with me to have a look. Without your order, neither Professor Thomson nor I can get in."

"You know how to joke, Colonel. Is there anything in Manila you can't enter?"

……

The Port of Manila is just ahead.

But Jonathan stopped.

Because right at the main entry port of Manila Port, he saw a familiar figure.

Kane!

Yes, that's Kane!
He was with some locals.

Moreover, among these locals, Jonathan once again saw an old face.

That was also one of the robbers who robbed him!

They have people here too!

They guessed they would be here.

"there!"

Suddenly, Kane saw Jonathan and pointed: "There he is!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jonathan ran away. He must not fall into the hands of these people!
While running, Jonathan even figured out a problem.

Why didn't those robbers kill themselves?

Because that group of people deliberately pretended to be robbers, but they did not find any clues related to gold on themselves.

Therefore, they deliberately left their lives behind.

They constantly set traps in an attempt to get useful information from their own mouths.

But fortunately, these conspiracies were discovered one after another by me!
……

"I must warn you, Colonel."

Dr. Mikael, who is responsible for Amelia's care, said seriously: "Although Amelia's injuries are recovering, she has been severely traumatized inside and is therefore extremely mentally unstable. I suggest you not ask about the case. Details, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened.”

"I will, doctor." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Don't forget, Professor Thomson is also a doctor. I think he has more experience than me in dealing with emergencies."

Only then did Dr. Mikael open the door.

Meng Shaoyuan met Amelia for the first time.

This poor 18-year-old girl was sitting on the bed holding her knees.

As soon as she heard the door open, her whole body trembled.

When he saw who came in clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, the terrible thing that happened to her had completely frightened this woman.

She said nothing, just buried her head in her knees.

"Can she understand English?"

Meng Shaoyuan asked a question.

Dr. Mikael shook his head: "Let me translate for you."

Meng Shaoyuan then asked: "Can you raise your head, Amelia?"

After waiting for a while, Amelia raised her head, but she only glanced at Meng Shaoyuan and hid her head again in fear.

Dr. Mikael shrugged: "No way, we can't force her."

"Hey, Amelia." Meng Shaoyuan then asked, "Can you tell me what exactly happened to you?"

When Dr. Mikael finished translating, there was another long silence.

"I'll try it."

Professor Thomson sighed softly: "Amelia, it's me, Thomson. You must still remember me, right? Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will feel scared, right? But if you can't face the pain in your heart, You can never get rid of fear, be brave, okay?”

"He came, he scratched me, he bit me."

Finally, Amelia said in a low and trembling voice: "I want to drive him away, but I can't drive him away. I hurt, I hurt! Go away, go away!"

Her voice suddenly became shrill.

It seems that the invisible man has appeared again.

"enough!"

Doctor Mikael said hurriedly: "That's it for today, Colonel."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and exited the ward together with Varnado and Professor Thomson.

……

It wasn't until he was sure that no one was catching up that Jonathan stopped.

He gasped for breath.

There are their people everywhere.

Even the Port of Manila is no exception.

Obviously, those guys had guessed that they might enter Manila Port.

Now, what should I do?
There is also a point of contact.

And a secret point of contact.

The question is, is that point of contact reliable?

Could it be another trap?
But at this point, Jonathan has no better way, he must take the risk and try it!
……

"What do you think about this?"

As soon as he left the ward, Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"I still insist on my concept of four-dimensional space." Professor Thomson said: "There are too many things in the world that are difficult to explain scientifically."

"What about you?" Meng Shaoyuan turned his attention to Varnado.

"You asked me?"

It was obvious that Varnado did not have much preparation. He thought for a moment before saying: "I am just a policeman and can only handle cases, but in this case, I found that I was powerless. The professor just said that there are many things in the world. Phenomenons that cannot be explained by science, and there are more such weird things in the Far East.

For example, in Sulawesi, there are some weird stones of different sizes.But these are not simple spheres, they include the shape of human figures.The strange thing about it all is that archaeologists can't find any other signs of civilization around the stone.

They are just a pile of rocks and nothing else at all.Even after digging deep underground, scientists have yet to find tools, burial sites or anything else that would indicate a civilization that once settled there.Stories handed down by locals throughout history suggest that they were placed there thousands of years ago by an ancient, long-lost tribe.

Some say the stones are the souls of dead criminals from that era, who were cursed to remain on earth forever.But where did these stones come from, why are they there, and what secrets are hidden inside?I think maybe not knowing is better than knowing.Maybe the truth will be devastating. "

"I think if you don't want to be a policeman, you can become a philosopher." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile, and then continued: "I'm also very curious. When Amelia spoke just now, she was really scared. It’s not disguised, but I feel like there’s something that doesn’t make sense.”

"Oh?" Out of police sensitivity, Varnado immediately asked, "Did you find something?"

"No, I didn't find anything." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "I just relied on my feelings. But I still insist that I don't believe that invisible people really exist in this world. If there really is such a creature, I Think, the whole world will be in chaos.”

"Why?" This time, Professor Thomson asked curiously.

"Think about it for yourselves, Invisible Man!" Meng Shaoyuan sighed deeply: "If the Invisible Man really exists and is successfully discovered, many governments will eagerly start research to uncover the secret of the invisibility of this creature. .

Just like superheroes, do superheroes really exist in the world and are they really a good thing for the world? "
