Chapter 41 Who is the King of Snow and Wind?

In the next two months, three major events happened.

The personnel changes in the Secret Service Department were exactly the same as Dai Bingcheng expected. The only thing beyond the plan was that Li Zhen had another position - Assistant Director of the Security Bureau. Many institutions have this position, and without a deputy director, the name of this position is actually equivalent to "Preparatory Director". However, everyone doesn't know how long this preparatory period will last - because everything is unreasonable, it is difficult to speculate on those people and things that are originally unusual in ordinary eyes.

Li Zhen was promoted to major, and Dai Bingcheng was promoted to colonel. He was the president of the South Executive Office of the Northern Base of the Special Affairs Office and the director of the Security Bureau - only one step away from the major general.

However, this step is something that many people have never been able to overcome in their entire lives.

The person who was most happy about this seemed to be Lee Kai-wen. Because his son was actually the director of the Security Bureau - everyone was tacitly aware of this. Therefore, his back has become much harder recently. He had never thought that his son would be successful and he would follow me to "show off his power"... but he really didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

In fact, everyone knows that this has nothing to do with the opportunity, luck, and the background. It is purely the credit obtained by life. This credit cannot be achieved by jealousy - at least it cannot be expressed in terms of face.

So the most common saying of Li Kaiwen after returning home recently was: "Hey, it's different from what I used to be when I met someone today..."

If he still lived in the original community and had a group of old friends, he might even invite people home for dinner every day, and then pretended to take out the Purple Star Medal issued by the royal family to show off. Song Chenxiao criticized him a lot of times for this matter and told him "Don't cause trouble for his son." Li Kaiwen glared: How can I not know at such an age? I am just happy!

Of course, Li Zhen was also happy, because his confinement period ended in disguise - now he still has to ask for leave after leaving the base. It’s just asking for leave from himself.

Other changes are fragmentary things... The only thing that makes everyone's headache is that Zhang Kesong is now in a cold war with him - it has been going on for a month.

Because the second major event was the recruitment of new jobs by the Security Bureau. But Li Zhen was guarding the checkpoints and did not let Kesong become an executive. She only asked her to do civilian jobs after graduation in July this year, and it was not a civilian job in the Security Bureau.

Kesong was quite dissatisfied with this, but Li Zhen showed a rare toughness because... this matter is at stake.

It’s not that he takes other people’s lives as a matter of not taking their lives, but that the matter involves his girlfriend, he always feels selfish. He has asked Miss An to comfort her and parents, but the result is not satisfactory. The phone calls are usually called every night, but the attitude is not as enthusiastic as before. He talks about trivial things he has seen and heard, and then he hangs it up in a simple way, as if the seven-year itch has arrived early.

But Li Zhen was mentally prepared - he knew what kind of girl Kesong was. This young couple had the same person in their bones, and under his gentle appearance, they all had a heart of iron and iron.

He would not feel much better when encountering such a thing, and his reaction would even be more intense. He could only take care of his girlfriend's emotions with apologies and wait for time to slowly untie the knot.

There were many newcomers in the bureau - from the field position, in the base school, and in the private registrants. Twenty-three people were selected in the first stage and six combat groups were organized. But in fact, many people were even worse than Li Zhen in terms of combat common sense, and some people didn't know how to use guns. Fortunately, Hu Yanling was an absolute "old man". The role she played far beyond Li Zhen's imagination. In many cases, he would even give birth to the feeling of "Is this woman more suitable to be an assistant to the director than herself?"

In fact, the same is true - although everyone knows that Major Li Zhen is A-level and has a strong combat power beyond imagination, when he sees him being trained like himself and making up for all kinds of basic common sense, he will have some strange emotions in his heart, and his words will be much more casual.

Hu Yanling talked to Li Zhen for this and pointed out that he should "take off the airs of the director's assistant", otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public in the future.

Li Zhen just smiled.

Because Dai Bingcheng mentioned this issue with him before, but Li Zhen said at the time: "The third one is about to appear. The facts prove everything."

This is the third major event that happened in the past two months.

The Warsaw Pact, with China as its core, knows one thing, and the third type is recovering. The Secretariat shared some information with the competent authorities management agencies of various countries, making them realize the seriousness of the matter, and conducted key searches in two directions - Japan and Mexico.

After the Yanjing Conference, news of the species was revealed through unknown ways, and most abilities knew that such a terrible creature appeared. This incident did not cause panic as expected - because most abilities were full of confidence, it was difficult to believe that something could rely on the power of individuals to threaten the human group.

So this bad thing turned into a good thing in a sense. Some civil organizations began to look for clues to the third type out of curiosity, and finally came to the conclusion that the thing was most likely to lurk in Japan or Mexico.

This kind of gossip should have been laughed off, but the identity of the person who posted the news made the secret service unable to ignore it - the King of Ice and Snow and Wind.

To this day, the official information is not detailed about the situation of this person. Some people even speculate that the Ice King Sun Muran did not die, but was just a revamp. This super A-level king sold a big favor from the Secret Service Office on Pingyang Night, so it is certain that he was not at least on the opposite side of the empire, which increased the credibility of his news. When the official had no idea about the exact location of the category, such rumors were carefully studied and carefully identified, and were eventually considered to be "highly credible."

In fact, this "higher" is only relative to "no clue".

Of course, Li Zhenxin knew all this.

For this reason, he went to Beichuan Ice Point House.

Ma Xinyu was not there today, and there was only Beichuan in the store. After seeing Li Zhen, she smiled: "Congratulations."

Li Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "I'm here to thank you. You solved my annoyance."

Kitagawa said, "I'm just sending a message, the credit is not on me - if you have the chance, you should thank that one."

Li Zhen was slightly stunned. He thought that the matter should be made open and honest at this point - at least it should be tacit. But what does Kitagawa Qingming mean? He thought about it, then sighed in his heart, feeling that he seemed to understand something.

So Li Zhen sat down by the window, looked at Beichuan's eyes, and said seriously: "I know what you are worried about. But you have to understand that I am me, not them. Your surname is Beichuan, but I know that you have nothing to do with the Beichuan family. I am not a theorist of origin."

However, Kitagawa's reaction was a little strange. She pursed her lips, seemed to try to suppress some emotions, and then said lightly: "This is the case. But what are you doing with these?"

Li Zhen had a headache for the other party's "stubbornness". He smiled and said, "I just want you to know that I am relieved to you. I don't think we have to hide anything between us, we can speak more frankly."

"You are... more and more like a magistrate." Beichuan turned around and continued to wipe the counter with a rag, his tone was very calm, "I have long been careless about my surname - just to make my mother feel at ease, and I have not changed it. After all, what do you think I am hiding from you?"

"You..." Li Zhen was stunned. No matter how dull the person was, he could hear the smell of alienation. Did he say something wrong? He decided to open the skylight and say something bright: "I mean, we all know the identity of your 'friend' - even if there is no need to say it out loud, there is no need to play such a game."

"Ha, play the game?" Kitakawa turned around, threw the rag on the counter, leaning against the cashier and looking at Li Zhen with a smile, "Do you want to say, do you think I am the king of ice, snow and wind?"

Li Zhen didn't say anything for a long time. He looked at Beichuan blankly, trying to figure out what the other party was thinking. He wanted to ask back - isn't it?

But this shouldn't be Kitakawa's attitude, right? This almost sloppy attitude?

After a while, he really didn't think of any suitable sentence, so he had to frown slightly: "Yes."

Kitagawa lowered his head and smiled, looking up at him again: "Do you really trust me?"

Li Zhen nodded.

"Then I tell you, I am not the King of Ice and Snow and Wind, and I don't know who he is, do you believe it?"

Only if you believe in you can be a ghost - Li Zhen almost said this. But he spent a few seconds looking at Beichuan's eyes carefully. He knew that the other party had no ability to lie, but he could at least observe the muscles on the other party's face - two months were enough for him to learn a lot, including some extremely subtle expressions on people's faces. Those expressions cannot be controlled by subconsciously, and they will faithfully reflect the subtle thoughts in the subconscious of the observer.

Li Zhen's observation concluded that what Beichuan said was the truth.

He still didn't say anything.

So Kitakawa turned around and continued to take care of the counter: "It seems you don't believe it."

"No...I believe it." Li Zhen whispered, "You didn't lie to me. But - how could it be?"

"How could that man have wings?" Kitakawa pushed open the small door and walked to the counter, then lowered his body to wipe the bracket inside, and looked at him through the glass, "Like you, I know the King of Ice and Snow and Wind. I can even keep in touch with him. However, if you want to know him or know his true identity - I didn't lie. I am not him, nor do I know his true face."

"Then you should know that he... is a man or a woman? How did you contact him?" Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Well... if it is inconvenient, you don't need to tell me."

Beichuan closed the counters, turned around and walked into the inner room. After a minute, he asked loudly: "Do you drink coffee?"

"I don't drink. I've been busy these days and can't sleep at night after drinking. I'll just have water."

So Kitakawabata walked out with a cup of ice water and a cup of coffee and sat down opposite Li Zhen. Then she leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and looked out the window for a while.

Li Zhen was waiting patiently.

"Even if you give you a gift," Beichuan said suddenly, "Dai Bingcheng doesn't know about this."

"At first I suspected that the king of ice and snow and wind is my former teacher Sun Muran. Most people think so now. But I have checked it for a long time after so many years, and now I feel that the possibility is too small - I know my teacher, he will not do such things." Kitakawa's tone was leisurely and his eyes were plain, as if he was trapped in long memories.

"But he did appear after my teacher passed away, only about two months later. The information of your secret service must have recorded that summer - Liaobei Road suddenly became ice overnight, and the next day, the sun was dry for a whole day and it was shoveled away by the government in a car. Only those who are capable can do this - the street was hundreds of meters long, but it became like that silently, and no one noticed it."

"I know this." Li Zhen nodded.

"I didn't do this." Kitagawa smiled, "I'm A-level, I can control the airflow. I'm asked me to smash the glass in this room here and I can do it, but that kind of thing... is not something I can imagine. Then the person contacted me - one day after I got up, I saw a small note on the head of the bed. Some words were written on it... I told me that someone would take care of me on my behalf and ask me to rest assured. If I had something to ask him to help, leave a note under the pillow and he would see it."

Li Zhen was stunned. Beichuan smiled and said, "Yes. How scary - leave a note under my own pillow, and the person can see it. Wouldn't he say he can go in and out of my room freely? The next day I was frightened and didn't sleep all night. I was finally sleepy on the third night and fell asleep. I fell asleep unconsciously, but when I woke up, I found another note on the bedside."

“…What did you say?”

"The above said that I can treat her as my sister - a woman. But until now I don't know whether he is a man or a woman... The handwriting looks like a woman, but it may also be to make up my identity for peace of mind. This idea has been in my heart for a long time until I heard about her several things. I think that if a person with that style of behavior is a man, he should not hide his gender."

"Of course I tried other ways to figure out her identity. For example, I wrote a note and pretended to be asleep - in order to make her not suspicious, I even took medicine, and I didn't sleep for four consecutive days, waiting for her to come with my eyes closed. But she seemed to be able to see that I was sleeping in real and fake, and it never appeared. On the fifth day, I finally couldn't stand it and fell asleep, and found that the note was taken away."

"My house is on the ninth floor. She can't come in through the door. Since she is the king of ice and snow and wind, she may come in through the window. So I bought a few cameras and installed them near the window, and planned to try to take pictures of her. What do you think of the result?"

Li Zhen cooperated and asked, "How is it? She was ruined?"

"It's not that cruel." Beichuan smiled, "When I woke up the next day, I found that the camera was covered with self-adhesive stickers. Actually, this person is quite interesting. I think he is not old, at most, he will not be over 30 years old, right? I haven't stopped since then - I kept looking for her in different ways. But she was so patient, she never felt impatient, and she didn't let me waste my energy, just like she likes to play like this. I asked her why she took care of me and whether she had any connection with my teacher. But she wouldn't answer such questions."

"Is it possible..." Li Zhen thought for a while, "The people over there?"

"No way," Kitakawa replied affirmatively, "If it were someone over there, he was a super A-level, why should he spend his thoughts on me - no matter how he looked at her, she was hiding in Pingyang, otherwise she wouldn't be able to contact me so soon. The same thing happened this time. I talked to you that night, and I passed the news to her, but I didn't wait for me to remind me again - you also saw it. Speaking of which, I was so curious that I was going crazy. Why? Why is this person so nice to me?"

"I'm curious too." Li Zhen sighed. There is never love for no reason or hatred for no reason in this world. What Beichuan said is like a pure story no matter how you hear it - however, Li Zhen has been observing her carefully. Every word she said seems to be true.

He subconsciously picked up the relevant information he had read in his mind in the past two months, but no one could match it. I thought his experience was magical enough, but he became a supporting role compared with the King of Ice and Snow and Wind...

Super A-level suddenly emerged?

If such a person can join the Secret Service...

Li Zhen frowned and immediately gave up the idea. If he had that plan, it would have appeared long ago. After all, not everyone has so many ties like himself, and he has to put something on his body. In fact, he envies Beichuan or the king's life now like a leisurely cloud and wild crane.

But if everyone is idle, what should everyone do?

Some people have to make sacrifices. Even though this sacrifice is not pleasant, and they even feel stressed and overwhelmed, the matter is right in front of them and someone will always solve it.

"So she is not you." Li Zhen sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I thought I had found a powerful foreign aid based on our friendship."

Kitakawa seems to try to change the topic: "How about the kind of things?"

"I'm looking for it. I'm mainly looking for it in Japan and Mexico, but I can't relax in other places." He thought for a while and told Kitakawa about the mutant sea snake. "After that, the North Institute's research on Adam has also accelerated its pace. It seems that they plan to study antibodies and other things to see if they can make ordinary people immune to the impact of species. I'm talking a few words, but I don't understand it very much, but the general idea is that this matter is difficult to deal with, because Adam was destroyed before and was in childhood, and the current situation is not optimistic. Maybe it's fine - he will die."

"Genomes will die...good news."

"It's not the kind of death that humans dormant, but the dormant period. The activity is reduced to a minimum and it takes a long time to recover - a long time in the concept of species." Li Zhen shook his cup, and the ice cubes rustled. "After all, it's not enough investment. Before he took over, he felt that the secret service was everywhere, as if everyone could not escape the surveillance. As a result, after a little understanding of the inside story, he realized that the funding was really limited... If we were really as strong as the legend, we could all fight against the empire or the whole world. Haha."

"But such things... are always related to the safety and danger of human beings!" Kitakawa couldn't help but sigh.

Li Zhen shook his head: "It sounds scary to us. But for those people above... how to say, they are really fucked."

Kitakawa smiled.

Li Zhen also smiled and continued, "But now, I can't invest too much in this matter. Just here, I have received two news this month. One said that a new virus appeared in a certain place, suspected that it was done by the capable, 'may cause global infection and destroy humanity'. The other was that a certain place was haunted, and also suspected that it was a capable person who made trouble, 'may cause large-scale turmoil and a second full-scale confrontation' - similar news, I flipped through the files, and if it were all taken seriously, the world has been destroyed more than a dozen times in the past year. Even if it was a kind of thing, if it weren't for my personal experience, I would think it was a big deal. Compared with the nuclear and financial crisis that could break out, which one did you say sounds more scary?"

Kitagawa was silent for a while: "You did understand a lot."

"So I can only do my best within my ability." Li Zhen rubbed his forehead, "trying to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Actually, you still want me to find someone to help you with so many complaints." Kitakawa said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this. I will do something within my ability - if that one doesn't object."

"I finally felt at ease when I heard this." Li Zhen pushed the cup and stood up, "I have been out for too long and I have to go back. If I really don't have time in the future, I will contact you by phone."

"Okay." Kitakawa stood up and gave him a look.

Li Zhen thought about it and asked again: "One other thing - have you ever felt that you have changed recently? For example, have you become stronger in your ability?"

Kitagawa hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No. What's wrong?"

"I have some information in my hand." Li Zhen frowned, "It's considered confidential information, but I think you should take a look and may give me some good opinions. I'll send it to you after I go back, but you have to guarantee that you must not be circulated - the King of Ice and Snow and Wind is not good either. Many things are always limited, and I want to hear your opinions."

"Assistant to the assistant director, um." Kitagawa joked, "I'll take this job. But the next time you have to count money - like a glass of ice water for 50 cents."

"It's okay, hahaha." Li Zhen smiled and pushed open the door, walked out a few steps and suddenly turned around, and said seriously: "Thank you."
