Mystical Instinc

Two years later, London, Kingsman headquarters, conference room.

Eggsy pushed open the door. Unsurprisingly, a woman in a dark brown suit was already sitting on the chair of the conference table. She raised her head from the file when she heard the voice, and took off the pair of old-fashioned glasses. She had a pair of glasses. Vibrant young face, she has another name, Roxanne, and she prefers to be called Roxy.

"Good morning, Galahad."

"Good morning, Arthur." Eggsy walked to his place and sat down. "Is everyone else here?"

Roxy glanced at his watch and signaled Eggsy to put on his glasses, and images of ten other colleagues appeared at the conference table.

As usual, the knights reported the status of their tasks one by one, as well as where they needed support from the headquarters or their companions. Arthur would occasionally interrupt them during the report, pointing out where the tasks needed attention, and they would not hesitate to Applauded the colleagues who had completed the task, and when the report was over, Arthur began to assign new tasks to everyone.

Every time Eggsy sees Roxy who is concentrating on business, he feels that he made the right decision to vote for a good friend.He'd rather take the title of Galahad than Arthur.

"I'm only fit to be a fighter, not a leader" Eggsy had privately told Merlin on the eve of the meeting, and managed to get Merlin a vote for Roxy - perhaps Merlin would have voted without him Vote, anyway in the end Roxy became Arthur, he became Galahad, it couldn't have been better.

That night, he came to the former Galahad's house alone and drank a whole bottle of brandy. He raised his glass and talked a lot to himself, but no one answered him, and finally fell asleep on the sofa in the living room .

He asked himself that the wine was not bad, at least he didn't beat up people after drinking a glass of dark beer like the owner of the house, even though he wanted to beat up those scumbags for a long time.Every time he was provoked, his good buddies would hold him back, except for Harry, the old gentleman was almost like a hero he imagined that only existed in movies, beating those little bastards all over the place.

Then Harry opened a door for him. Behind the door was the steps leading to heaven. Harry stood in front of him and led him, waiting patiently for him to approach step by step. When he felt that he was close enough to reach out his hand, he grabbed empty.

"Galahad," the friend's voice brought Eggsy back from his thoughts, "you haven't recommended a candidate for the next Lancelot yet."

"Uh," Eggsy scratched the back of his head, shrugged and said, "Sorry, I really didn't meet a suitable candidate."

The others looked at each other without making a sound, Roxy looked at him for a while, finally took a breath, and made a decision:

"The selection can't be delayed any longer. We have been short of manpower for a long time, Merlin, and I will trouble you next."

Merlin's stereotyped voice came over the intercom: "No problem, Arthur, I'll let everyone know when to meet later."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be here today and the meeting is over." Roxy cut off the communication with the others, stood up and began to pack the files.

Eggsy stared at her in disbelief for a long time, and asked, "That's it?"

Roxy didn't stop, just said: "Yes, I already said the meeting will end."

"Yes, but why?"

Roxy glanced at his friend, stopped and said, "Is there a problem? Eggsy."

"I don't understand. You said just now that you are short of manpower. Why didn't you arrange tasks for me?"

Roxy sighed secretly, picked up all the files before saying: "There is nothing suitable for you at present, Merlin will contact you next week." After speaking, Roxy went straight to the door of the meeting room.

Eggsy took a deep breath, raised his voice slightly and said, "It's been a year since that incident, Roxy, I won't make the same mistake again, let alone—didn't the hostage come back safely last time?"

Roxy stopped in her tracks. After listening to Eggsy patiently, she turned around and said, "You said you're fine, so why have you refused to go to the cemetery to see Harry?"

Eggsy was helpless, shook his head and said, "I don't understand, why do you insist on remembering a stone, there is nothing under it." Eggsy paused, an inexplicable pain flashed in his eyes, "Harry wasn't there at all .”

"Eggsy..."

"Just give me a task, anything, and I'll prove it to you, and everything will be normal." Eggsy interrupted a little impatiently.

Roxy looked at Eggsy for a long time, and finally handed one out from the pile of documents. She didn't even look at the title of the document. When she watched Eggsy leave happily holding the document, she couldn't help but sighed again.

Merlin's voice came through the earphones.

"What task did you give him?"

Roxy raised her glasses and said: "A cocktail party in New York, an academic exchange meeting." She never turned off the communication.

"Well," Merlin thought thoughtfully, "the one held by the Zoola Corporation, it seems that you were originally invited to participate?"

Roxy shrugged: "The task only requires a secret observation of the guests and the theme of the reception. To be honest, I hate these entertainments."

"I can tell." Merlin added privately at the end, "But you're doing well."

※※※∽※※※∽※※※

Leaving the Kingsman headquarters, Eggsy didn't check the information in the file immediately, and knew that the task Roxy gave him would not be an urgent task without looking.

He first went to BlackPrince to order a glass of cold beer and drank it up, then went home and fed canned beef to JB, JB happily wagged his tail at him a few times, he took out a skirt from the room and gave it to his dear sister Daisy, It was a small gift he bought specially when he was on a mission in France. Daisy hugged his neck and gave him a sweet kiss, and finally he hugged his mother Michelle as a farewell.

"Eggsy, I don't know what you're doing now, but as long as you take good care of yourself, that's enough."

"I know, I know." Eggsy patted Michelle's back reassuringly, and let her go gently.

It was nearly a quarter past nine in the evening when the lights in the former Galahad's study were turned on again, and Eggsy did not forget to buy a copy of the Sun newspaper on the way, because today should not be forgotten.

There are only a few copies of the Sun newspaper on the wall, and the original ones have been put away one by one by him. Eggsy carefully cut out today's headline, the news that a pharmaceutical company named Zoola was listed in London, Wall Street, and Hong Kong at the same time. He pasted the headline on the wall and aligned its position as carefully as possible to make it look like As it should be placed there.After finishing all this, he unhurriedly poured two martinis from the dining room, put one of them on the desk, and walked out of the terrace with the other.

It had been two years since Harry had said goodbye to him, after Eggsy had officially become a Galahad, and he had applied for the house to Kingsman, before Harry was legally dead.

Neither Merlin nor Roxy, although aware of his emotional problems, had no idea that the hardest time for him was over.

Eggsy found herself in love with Harry, one morning after Harry had died.

He dreamed that he was hugging and kissing with his older mentor, and the other person slowly unbuttoned his suit until he was naked (chi), the whole process was like unwrapping a present...

——The part below the neck that cannot be described*N (no deletion in this book)——

Regardless of the age difference between them, the person he should confess to immediately has been dead for nearly ten months.

This sudden fact made him almost at a loss, he tried to escape, then frantically searched for everything about Harry, he also indulged, and then imitated the dead man in self-loathing.

No matter what he did, it didn't help anything, whether it was Harry's death or his ridiculous love.

Merlin and Roxy, who were close to him at that time, both looked at him with worried eyes. Roxy knew him well, not to mention Merlin, who was also an old secret agent for many years, so they could more or less guess something.

In the past half a year, Eggsy began to think about when did he start to feel that way for Harry, those 24 hours when they were alone? When Harry was wounded and unconscious?When you brought him into the academy?Or when you beat those guys at the Black Prince bar?Or as early as when they first met in front of the police station.

Perhaps the seeds of love had been planted unintentionally long ago, and they gradually germinated and grew under Harry's unreserved care and guidance like him. When he realized it, feelings had already taken root in his heart, and even grew into a A tree big enough to support him to move on.

The experience of the task made him calmer, and when he calmed down, he would also think that maybe it was just a ridiculous dream, and the person in the dream just happened to look similar to Harry.He didn't know Harry very long, and he didn't even know Harry outside of Kingsman, let alone Harry's past.

Maybe it's just that he admires the other party's feelings too much, and there is regret for what he said when he was with the other party for the last time.In the memory, every expression and every word of Harry is vivid in his mind. Many emotions such as admiration, gratitude, and regret are entangled in his heart, and they are more and more tightly entangled day by day. Apart from being hopelessly in love with each other, he Couldn't explain why Harry was the object of his dreams in those occasional erotic dreams.From the beginning of his sexual experience, his objects have always been sexy beauties, and he has no Electra tendency at all.

Noticing that there was not a drop of Martini left in his hand, Eggsy put away his cranky thoughts and turned back to the study to pick up the document he brought back.

There was an invitation letter in the most conspicuous place of the document, Eggsy glanced at the name of the sponsor, and couldn't help but look up at the newspaper he had just pasted.

"Uh, what a coincidence." He raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The content of the task is very simple. Zoola has invited some academic elites and some social celebrities to have social activities. Just look like a participant.

Of course, the premise is that the reception can go smoothly.

Eggsy turned a page, followed by a recent introduction of Zoola.

Zoola is a research and pharmaceutical company that started in Southeast Asia and later expanded its headquarters to San Francisco. After the global riots, Zoola released an antidepressant that has a very good effect on various mental illnesses. .

The riots caused many people to have stress mental disorders after the disaster and were deeply disturbed. The dissatisfaction and loss of trust in the government reached an unprecedented height. The governments of many countries were in a credit crisis. It was at this time that Zoola This new drug was launched and sold to countries at a very low price or in the form of an equivalent exchange of land property rights, allowing them to sell at a low price or even distribute it for free. The drug has indeed helped most people and saved many countries. crisis, including the most affected in the United States.

This sales method has brought a lot of convenience to Zoola. They not only rapidly expanded the factories in various places and increased the production of medicines, but also set up related research projects in several public universities to attract technical talents and so on.

In terms of operation, in some regions of Asia and North America, Zoola acquired some small local pharmaceutical companies after entering the region, and the total assets of the company continued to rise.

This reception was held at the newly established branch in New York. The main purpose of the reception was to attract peer cooperation and technical talents.

Eggsy turned to the last page, which was a list, which listed the name of the company currently being acquired and the death information of individual personnel in the core management of the company.

Eggsy called Merlin just as it was getting dark.

"Good morning, Merlin. Please, book me a ticket to New York."

"Need first class?"

"Of course, otherwise how can I be worthy of the identity you made up for me."

※※※∽※※※∽※※※

Zoola's New York branch was built on an open land in the suburbs of the city, covering an area of ​​more than 1 hectare, about 20 minutes away from the city, not too far away. The land belongs to the government and has been idle for some time. According to Merlin Statistics show that Zoola bought the land at a price less than 40% of the market at that time.

The reception started at 45pm, and Eggsy picked to arrive at [-]:[-], which was also the time when most guests arrived, and he looked like a normal invitee.

After handing the invitation letter to the concierge staff, Eggsy looked around. Except for the largest main building in the middle of the road, the other locations are basically under construction. All kinds of building materials are piled up, and some lights are on in the distance, and it seems that the foundation is being dug.

After checking his invitation letter, the concierge staff made a gesture of invitation to him, and then took the initiative to lead the way.

Eggsy withdrew his gaze and followed the concierge into the main building. Upon entering the door, there was a circular lobby with a ceiling almost five stories high. The modern decoration looked simple and elegant.

"Which floor is the reception on?" Eggsy asked casually.

"It's on this floor, and we'll be there soon." The concierge replied with a smile, and led him to the back of the lobby, in front of which was a red wooden door.

The concierge opened the door with both hands and made another gesture of invitation.

Eggsy nodded his thanks and joked, "Hopefully I won't be the last."

The concierge smiled politely when he heard the words, and when he stepped into the banquet hall, he closed the door and backed out.

The banquet hall is also decorated in a modern style. When you look up, you can see the crystal chandelier hanging in the middle, and the floor is covered with a moderately thick dark gray carpet. There are two long tables in the middle of the banquet hall, which are filled with various snacks and fruits. , salads and other food, there are water bars on both sides of the hall, making various cocktails for the guests, and there is a small stage at the end of the hall, he guessed that the management of Zoola should come out and give a toast in a while.

Eggsy walked slowly into the venue and looked around. The 4000-square-meter banquet hall has already attracted more than 100 guests. The DJ played melodious old songs at a moderate volume, which did not affect the communication of the guests. Everything seemed to be quite normal. Press the hidden shutter on the glasses.

Of course, he didn't ignore the DJ room in the upper right corner of the entire hall, he swiped the focus and gave a close-up of the people inside.

Just when Eggsy raised his hand to check the time, the door of the banquet hall was opened again, and a pair of white men and women walked into the venue one after the other. The man was about 40 years old, wearing a tuxedo with a white main body and royal blue collar , with short dark brown hair combed neatly, looks like a shrewd entrepreneur. Just like the photo on the profile, the man is John Murphy, the general manager of Zoola, and the blonde woman walking behind him should be John Murphy according to the profile. His secretary Ivy.

The guests who were standing near the gate first saw John coming, so they all stopped chatting and came to greet him. On the stage, the venue was much quieter.

John Murphy made an opening speech with a smile on his face:

"First of all, I would like to thank all the gentlemen and ladies present for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come to our company's reception. Zoola's progress from a small, unknown company two years ago to the present is due to the support of all friends. Special thanks to George Sir..."

A man in a black suit in the audience motioned to him and smiled.

John Murphy turned his gaze to another place, and continued: "The beautiful Dr. Helen Li..."

A black-haired woman in the audience also smiled at him faintly.

John Murphy thanked several other guests, some of whom were present or unable to attend, and then published his vision for the future of Zoola—not a commercial aspect, but a more humane pursuit. John Murphy said that he hoped that Zoola's drugs could Help every family suffering from mental trauma in the United States, so that every patient can enjoy life and love like a normal person.

nice presentation. Eggsy said silently in his heart.

In the end, John Murphy personally invited the famous singer D.Martin as a guest performer, and he walked off the stage amidst everyone's applause and cheers.

John Murphy walked into the venue and chatted happily with some guests, shook hands, patted shoulders, clinked glasses, whispered, and dealt with every guest who came to chat naturally and calmly.At the end of the song, there was applause on the field, and the music changed from light to strong. The lights in the field suddenly went dark, and the colorful green spotlights were turned on, and the guests cheered for joy.

Eggsy probably understood why Roxy didn't want to come, she would definitely go crazy if she had to face such an atmosphere of a business reception, Eggsy couldn't help laughing secretly.While thinking wildly, he habitually looked up at the DJ room, but suddenly saw another figure appearing in the DJ room. Before he could react, that person had already put down the DJ who was playing songs. His technique was crisp and professional. , Eggsy was taken aback, and immediately put down his glass and leaned towards John Murphy.

"bang"

The gunshot rang out, and everyone in the banquet hall was startled. They all lowered their bodies and looked for cover in a panic. Three men who had been lurking among the guests pulled out their guns, and they put masks on their heads at some point. The entire head is covered, only a pair of eyes are exposed.

At this moment, only the sound of glass shattering above was heard, a corpse fell from the DJ room, and the guests directly below screamed and avoided in embarrassment.

A man in the same attire poked his head out from the DJ room, pointed to a spot in the arena and said to the other companions, "Over there! John Murphy."

The three people in the field looked in the direction he said as soon as they heard it, and they saw John Murphy hiding behind the crowd. The three raised their guns and shot without saying a word. Everyone screamed and scattered, and one of them avoided Before he was shot in the calf, he cried out in pain, and the timid lady next to him fainted immediately when he saw the blood gushing out.

John Murphy was so frightened that his face turned blue. He rolled and scrambled desperately to find a new cover. Seeing that the bullet hit him was getting closer and closer, his legs gave way and he fell down. He grabbed and crouched in panic. A guest next to him stood in front of him.The guest screamed in fright, and covered his head with his hands. It was the female doctor Helen Li whom John Murphy had just thanked.

Seeing this, Eggsy raised his watch and aimed at the one closest to him, and raised his hand without hesitation to fire the stun needle, but he couldn't stop the other two in time.

At this critical moment, a chair flew over from the side, and quickly and accurately hit a gangster who was closest to John Murphy. The other gangster was startled, and wanted to shoot John Murphy regardless of his companion's life or death. Just as he pulled the trigger, a whiskey bottle hit the knee socket of his right leg, making him unsteady. Kneeling on one knee, the bullet deflected upward and only hit the wall.

The gangster was furious and turned around to look for the attacker. Sure enough, he saw a tall man in a dark gray suit striding towards him with bare hands. He raised his gun and wanted to shoot. The man suddenly lowered his body, and then he felt a pain in his wrist. , a butter knife pierced his wrist, he let out a cry of pain, and could no longer hold the gun. He saw the other party reach out to catch the gun, and turned the gun to point at his eyebrows, but he didn't wait any longer. Thinking, the man raised his hand and knocked him unconscious with the back of his gun.

Eggsy froze in place with her mouth wide open as if struck by lightning, her eyes staring fixedly at the man who appeared.

Harry! ?

how is this possible?how is this possible!

Eggsy was shocked and caught a glimpse from the corner of the eye of the gangster in the DJ room raising his hand to shoot the man who looked like Harry, and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful." At the same time, the man also rushed towards the man, holding him in his arms Rolled on the ground and successfully avoided the bullet.

"Thank you." Eggsy heard the man say, he raised his head reflexively, and stared at the face at a close distance. The facial features were exactly the same as those of his mentor, and Eggsy's brain was about to stop functioning.

There was no difference in voice between this man and Harry.

At this time, the gangster who was knocked down by the chair climbed up with his back supported. He retrieved the gun on the ground and shot at the position of the two of them. The man casually picked up the beer mug on the ground and threw it at the culprit. The culprit was hit between the eyebrows without any defense, and he fainted to the ground.

Eggsy looked up at the gangster in the DJ room, and sure enough, he raised his gun again.In a crisis, Eggsy saw the stunned gangster lying beside him, and he quickly pulled out the butter knife stuck in the gangster's wrist and threw it at the gangster in the DJ room.

The gangster above didn't notice, and the gun fell off as soon as his wrist hurt.

"Nice." The man smiled at Eggsy and praised him.

The door of the banquet hall was suddenly opened, and a team of security guards rushed in. When the gangsters in the DJ room saw this, they immediately turned and fled.

When the man saw it, he jumped out of the window and chased after him. Eggsy jumped out of the window and chased after him. Behind him, he heard John Murphy yelling in the hall, asking the security team to arrest all these gangsters. He didn't care so much and followed the man He rushed to the rear of the building, and saw a gangster lying unconscious on the ground in front of the half-closed fire escape door, but the man had disappeared.

"Harry, Harry—" he couldn't help shouting twice, no surprise, no one answered.

Eggsy stayed where he was for a while, and when he saw the security team coming this way, he waved and stepped back to let the security team deal with the bandits on the ground.

Not long after, the sirens blared, and the police came to take over the matter. They took statements from everyone present, and John Murphy next to him lost his temper with his assistant, and Eggsy didn't get special attention. In the early morning, he returned to the urban area in a police car with others.

When reviewing the videos taken at the meeting place, he captured several pictures and checked them over and over again. After countless times, he finally stopped at one of the pictures and slowly traced the screen with his fingers. There is nothing wrong with the facial features of a middle-aged man, this face haunts him in his dreams, how can there be any mistakes.

The man on the screen didn't wear glasses, and the outline of his facial features hardly changed, but he was much younger than he remembered, with a sharper and more energetic expression, as if the ravages of time had been wiped away but the precipitation of growth was left behind.

"What happened to you, Harry…"

No one can give him an answer.

Eggsy watched the gradually pale sky outside the window, and connected to Kingsman's headquarters.

"Merlin, I need to speak to you, face to face."
