please don't believe me

The core program of "Sniper" has been installed, but Du Bai needs to add a safety insurance for himself.

He opened the drawer, and a handkerchief with black spots on a green background was lying quietly inside.Two seconds later, Du Bai smacked his lips and closed the drawer again.He picked up the watch instead, and glanced at the time on the wall clock as he walked out. After aligning the watch, he put it on and sat in the car parked at the door.

I'm going to the city library today.The energetic young people have roughly determined the respective themes of men and women, and they made an appointment to go to the library to look up some materials.Henry Zhang’s family has something to do, but Shen Yuyao will go, and Du Bai thinks this is a good time.

In fact, Shen Yuyao brought a "surprise surprise", which sounds much more effective than Henry Zhang's shield.

"Someone is going to assassinate the colonel?"

"Hush!" Shen Yuyao signaled Du Bai to lower her voice, "I only told you one person, so be gentle!"

They stood between the bookshelves, the other companions were looking for books elsewhere, and there was no one around.Stacked bookshelves cover the surrounding area, creating a natural shelter.

"Cough..." Du Bai closed the book in his hand, "Is it okay if you tell me like this?"

"I'm suffocated. You don't know, my family is now full of soldiers with live ammunition, how oppressive the atmosphere is." Shen Yuyao curled her lips, "Originally, my brother didn't let me come out, so I agreed to let me go out because of my own words. Don't be afraid to tell me You, my family's car didn't drive away at all, my brother told them to stare at me!"

Du Bai put the book back on the shelf, and asked with his head tilted: "It sounds like the colonel is worried that it will affect you?"

"Who knows? I feel like they are suspicious of everyone." Shen Yuyao looked around, then approached Du Bai and said in a low voice, "I heard that the mastermind hasn't been caught yet, my brother lost his temper a lot. "

Du Bai said helplessly: "Miss Shen, is this something you can say to me as an outsider?"

"So I can't hold back, can you just shut up quietly?" Shen Yuyao replied.

"Don't worry, miss." Du Bai raised his hand slowly, "Take a deep breath and calm down."

Shen Yuyao adjusted her breathing following his movements, slowed down for a while, and then said: "Oh, I forgot what I wanted to tell you, it's all your fault."

Du Bai smiled: "It's normal, it's just short-term amnesia."

"Amnesia!"

"Is it strange? 'Amnesia' is not uncommon." Du Bai laughed, "Have you ever woken up in the morning, after washing up, or even after breakfast?"

Shen Yuyao nodded: "Yes. Sometimes I will suddenly realize why I am downstairs."

"The period of time when you were unconscious is a kind of amnesia. To be precise, it is a 'trance state'." Du Bai suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Shen Yuyao, "Maybe you now remember what you wanted to say earlier ,Yeah?"

Shen Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then said back to God: "Our topic is really far enough away."

Not necessarily off topic for me.Du Bai shrugged: "Anyway, I'm just a trash can, a tree hole, Miss Shen."

Miss Shen whispered: "I'm not afraid of offending you when I say it. Among these people, your family's interests are farther away from my brother's. If Henry Zhang is to be changed, even if he takes the initiative to talk about it, I won't I'll take care of him."

Du Bai laughed and said, "Why, you guys co-founded a magazine and even ran out of hatred?"

I have no hatred.Shen Yuyao thought to herself: It's just that my brother seems to have a little intention of getting married to the Zhang family. Now that this happened, even if Henry Zhang and I haven't written off each other, my brother has to keep an eye on how the Zhang family stands in line.

She thought about it for a while, but she didn't say anything about such a private matter, she just smiled and covered the topic.Du Bai could see that she had something to say, but he didn't care too much, he just thought about Shen Ximing's assassination.

Is it a coincidence... or is it a hypocrite?

If it's a coincidence, Du Bai certainly thinks it's a kind of luck, it's like a shield from heaven; but if it's Shen Ximing's smoke bomb, then the alarm bells will really ring.

Did Shen Ximing have any clues to catch the "opponent"?

Du Bai looked at Shen Yuyao who was still talking in a low voice while turning the pages of the book.This girl is young, energetic, and insightful, but the way she hides her heart is clumsy, and it is not difficult to see through.

But Du Bai doesn't need to understand her thoroughly, it's enough for her.

He suddenly supported the back of Shen Yuyao's hand holding the book with one hand, and took the book away from her hand with the other: "Look here—sleep!"

Du Bai grabbed Shen Yuyao's right hand and lifted it up. As soon as her eyes fell on the palm of her hand involuntarily, her brain immediately responded to that simple command.

"Stand up straight and don't fall down."

The girl hangs her head, her consciousness is passing quickly, but the order is not over yet.

"Float, spin, sink, close.

"The light is gradually fading, and the curtain is slowly being drawn up. But keep a trace of consciousness, and keep the only gap in the middle of the curtain."

Du Bai took a book from the shelf.This is not actually a book. Its inner pages have only one pattern—black dots on a green background.

"Concentrate on that slit, and when you open your eyes, you will see a pattern of black dots on a green background through that slit. Your eyes will chase this pattern, and your concentration will focus on this pattern Go." Du Bai opened the folder in front of Shen Yuyao, and glanced at the time on the watch, "If you are ready, you can slowly open your eyes... Now is a good time to wake up, Shen Yuyao."

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes fell directly on the pattern in front of her eyes.

"Look at it, don't close your eyes, and go into a 'trance' state.

"You have absolutely no memory of what happened in the 'trance' state. As long as you see this pattern of black dots on a green background, no matter when and where you are, whether this pattern appears on paper, cloth or other places, You will immediately and naturally enter this 'trance' state.

"When the pattern of black dots on a green background disappears from your view, you come out of the 'trance' state, as if you were awakened.

"And the memory of when the black dots on the green background existed will disappear from your mind."

Du Bai stood quietly holding the pattern for a while, then quickly closed the folder, and naturally placed it on the bookshelf.

Shen Yuyao blinked, and suddenly came back to her senses: "...Huh?"

"What?" Du Bai picked up another book, flipped through it and asked casually, "I saw you standing beside me motionless for quite a while."

Shen Yuyao hesitated: "I seem to be thinking about something too deeply, but now I can't remember it."

Du Bai asked, "How long do you think you stood there?"

Shen Yuyao said: "...less than a minute?"

Actually closer to 3 minutes.Du Bai glanced at his watch, and put the book back on the shelf: "Almost. There doesn't seem to be any books we want here, let's take a look over there."

Shen Yuyao will soon be unable to go out at will, and Shen Xiuyuan believes that her safety is also at stake.

Along with a large number of investigations, Shen Xiuyuan did intercept the assassination information, but this time the threat was obviously from the outside.The current situation is turbulent, and minions of various forces are all over the capital.Those who want his life come not only from the enemy, but also from other factions within.

Under internal and external collusion, it is a good time to kill a promising young man when he leaves his sphere of influence.

In fact, Shen Xiuyuan didn't want to care about external entanglements at all. After all, the deduction and decision-making of the overall situation was time-consuming and laborious, but it might not benefit his mission.What's more, the task time is so short, even if he really makes the arrangements, he may not be able to see the results in time.

But he couldn't really let it go.In Shen Ximing's seat, if you don't advance, you will retreat.If he really ignored the external threat and concentrated on investigating the inside, then he probably would have taken a step before the internal assassin made his move.Although I don't know what kind of rating would be given if the opponent is indeed a host in this case, anyway, Shen Xiuyuan is definitely the "one more time" grand prize.

So even though Shen Xiuyuan was reluctant, he had no choice but to turn around and deal with the external threat.

The black car stopped in front of the Arc de Triomphe Clubhouse. It was an ordinary car with a local license plate, and it was very common in the upper class.The doorman opened the door, and two men got out, one after the other, in suits and ties like any other party guests.There were waiters waiting at the door, leading them straight to the box on the second floor.

There were already three people in the box, to be exact, two were sitting and one was standing.The one sitting was the staff officer of the Northeast Regional Army. Many people suspected that the attack on Shen Ximing had something to do with them, but the relationship between the two parties was actually good secretly. The one standing was his orderly; the other was Boss Lin of the Arc de Triomphe, who sometimes did As soon as he was engaged in intelligence business, he had a somewhat different relationship with various parties, and this meeting was his lead.

"Both are right, love, love, love,

The garden wind blows toward the beautiful flowers,

The world is full of tenderness and sweetness..."

This is actually an open box facing the stage and its back facing the door. It is only separated from the outside world by a few layers of velvet curtains, and you can enjoy the performance on the stage as long as you pull it open.Now downstairs is the joyous time for the band to play men and women dancing together, even through the thick curtains, it can't block the lively transmission.But this kind of noise is just right for today's conversation. Don't worry about the walls having ears, and it won't cause embarrassment when everyone is silent.

Shen Xiuyuan sat down and started talking about the topic very efficiently.In fact, the three parties have a tacit agreement on the direction of action, and they will sit here face to face today, more to show a kind of sincerity.

Although the Northeast Army is not the murderer, the rumors of Shen Xiuyuan's discord with them are rampant, which can be used to "make plans".If Shen Xiuyuan's "opponent" fell into the trap, he might show his feet when he was self-righteous fishing in troubled waters.

The main things were discussed in a short time, and there were some gossips that were not too important, and the continuation could only be regarded as pure communication.Boss Lin saw the three big men sitting opposite each other drinking, slapped his head, and said with a smile, "It's because I didn't take good care of them. What does drinking like this look like? I'll have someone call Zhou Chunli."

Zhou Chunli, who sounds like a stage name, is quite well-known in the capital.Although Shen Xiuyuan has never seen her, there are many pictorial posters of her posted in the streets and alleys, so it's hard not to know her.But right now, the staff officer and Shen Xiuyuan were not interested, and stopped Boss Lin one after another.

Boss Lin laughed and said, "The two brothers don't know something. Although Zhou Chunli is only a singer, she is still an old acquaintance in my Arc de Triomphe. If the two of you come to visit some other day, and Lin happens to be away, just give Zhou Chunli an order , nothing inappropriate."

To put it bluntly, it is to let Zhou Chunli recognize his face, so as not to make mistakes when he is not around in the future.After Shen Xiuyuan and the staff heard it, they understood that Zhou Chunli was Boss Lin's half assistant at the Arc de Triomphe, so they let go.

Boss Lin went to open the door to order people, and the opposite staff called the orderly who approached him to speak in a low voice, while Shen Xiuyuan sat alone with a drink.Perhaps it was because of the darkness, the music and the familiar atmosphere of the box, Shen Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of his only failed mission, and often sat like this in the Seravi Theater.

And that opponent - the mastermind of "The Thief" - was sitting beside him.

Is it this time too?are you by my side

Shen Xiuyuan stood up, opened the curtains a gap in the middle, and looked at the crowd below.Most of the people playing there are young people, the lights are strong or dark, and the music is continuous, which can easily arouse their emotions.

When his gaze reached the edge of the dancing crowd, Shen Xiuyuan suddenly squinted his eyes.There was a young man and woman sitting on the side, talking closely, looking very familiar and intimate.The young man dangled a wine glass in his hand, sometimes took a sip between his speeches, and would turn his head to talk to the people next to him.Shen Xiuyuan recognized the young man from the passing lights from time to time.

... Du Bai?

There are only a few of the most famous clubs in the city, and Shen Xiuyuan felt that it was not surprising to meet Shen Yuyao's friend by chance.However, today's big families are a little bit like soldiers, and the Du family just let their only son out to wander. It seems that there is indeed a distance from the core relationship.

The woman who spoke to Du Bai was quickly called away.Seeing them smiling and saying goodbye, Shen Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, and a suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.

After a while, a waiter knocked on the door, saying that Zhou Chunli had arrived.

Zhou Chunli is actually not very old, but she is not a little girl ignorant of the world. The long cheongsam with flower and bird patterns on the yellow background is wrapped around her body, which makes her look very charming.She brushed her hair, walked in openly, and smiled when she saw everyone.When the boss introduces her to the audience, she can handle it easily, being easy to please but not flattering.

Although Shen Xiuyuan had no interest in her, he still had a gentlemanly demeanor, and nodded to her as a response.Zhou Chunli probably saw Shen Xiuyuan's attitude, and she no longer clinged to it, and changed the topic freely.

Shen Xiuyuan looked away from her, thinking: The person who talked with Du Bai earlier was indeed this Zhou Chunli.
