Cosma Empire

How many people can calmly face death?

In fact, many people are fine, as long as they have firm beliefs and yearn for a new life, then death is nothing more than an eternal medal for them.

But obviously this special agent from the security committee can't do this. He doesn't really believe in God, that old guy. At least in the world he knows, God has never manifested himself. Those so-called miracles only appear in some in the records of the Church.

He has a complete family and a child who is about to be born. He has even agreed with the vice chairman that after returning from this follow-up, he will take a week off. He will go back to welcome the most sacred life to come to this world. That moment. He will love his children, his wife, and maybe have more children, and then slowly accompany them to grow old, and calmly go through his life that may not be dazzling.

The only thing he never thought about was that he would die in the mission.

Hey, don't be kidding, he is a member of the Security Committee, which is a special department that internally eliminates all possible threats to national security and the system. They have always been the only ones who kill people. When will others dare to kill them casually? .

He remembered what his dead companion had said just before leaving the room—he should go back.

Silence is the best way to disguise your inner cowardice. As long as you don't speak up, others will not know whether your heart is as strong as it appears on the surface, or it has already collapsed. Looking at the flame on the lighter in Duffer's hand and the gesture of throwing it out, he couldn't help but think of what Du Lin said just now.

He said that when the temperature of a person's body drops to a certain level, even if he is burned by fire, he will not feel pain. This sentence seems to have a little truth. In winter, if you play in the snow for too long, your hands will become numb after you feel pain from the cold. Whether it is a more icy stimulation, or stuffed into a warm place, there is no feeling.

He began to think about a question, does it really hurt?

If it doesn't hurt, maybe it's a good choice to sacrifice at this point. Although his family will not become the hero's parents and hero's wife because of him, they can enjoy more generous benefits from the empire. From that moment on, he doesn't need to worry about his family's future life, his children will receive the best education, and his wife doesn't need to worry about living expenses.

But... why are you unwilling?

Strongly unwilling!

He told himself, in fact, I don't want to die!

"I said..." He looked at Du Lin's feet with some evasion in his eyes, "My name is Eric, and I am a second lieutenant in the Imperial Security Council. This time we came to the west to investigate the causes of the turmoil in the west and prevent the intensification of the turmoil. Region. According to the request and guidance of His Excellency the Vice Chairman, we have made Mr. Dooling your primary target, and monitored your daily life, trying to find the real reason for the turmoil in the west. This is why my dead colleague and I appeared here I'm not lying, I promise!"

The lighter in Duffer's hand was taken back by him, and the flames became a thing of the past, which made Eric feel a sense of unspeakable regret while he was relieved. He regretted why he was so cowardly, he regretted why he was so unbearable, even death would make him so frightened that he could hardly breathe. He failed many things, including himself. He betrayed his beliefs and his future.

but,

There was a sense of relief in my heart.

Du Lin pursed his lips and pointed at him casually with the hand holding the cigarette, "Get him down, put him on clothes and some hot drinks, I have other things to talk to Lieutenant Eric chat."

At this moment, a child rushed over from behind everyone. He ran to a middle-aged man and tiptoed and said something in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man praised the boy unexpectedly, and then walked to Du Lin's side conveyed the news sent by the child just now.

Seven gold diggers entered the town. They entered the town in three batches, and they are now wandering in the streets.

Gold diggers can also be seen in Washiu Town from time to time, but most of these gold diggers are lone rangers. No mineral deposits have been explored in the vicinity, and there is no traffic artery, except that there is a train station where the train can stop here for a while. Replenishment and replenishment, gold diggers will find no benefit here at all.

Looting a village?

Maybe this is a way to get rich, but they need at least a thousand people, or more.

Du Lin asked the middle-aged man to tell the Guarts in the town to keep an eye on this group of people, and it would be fine if they left soon, but if they only wanted to inquire about something, let them "stay".

With the help of others, Eric put on his clothes, tremblingly holding a somewhat hot iron cup and followed Du Lin into the room. There were only Du Lin and him in the room. out the door.

"Mr. Eric, I apologize to you for what happened to you just now." Dulin's first sentence made Eric a little at a loss. He didn't understand what Dulin wanted to do, and he was so scared Unable to sit in a chair, I stood up.

Du Lin raised his hand and pressed down, "Don't be nervous, sit down, so that our communication will be more normal, and I don't like to raise my head to communicate with people." I don't know which sentence of Du Lin played a role , Eric sat back on the chair, and Du Lin handed him a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm not a difficult person to get along with, and I'm not a person who is completely my own. The future and expectations of many people are on my shoulders. I can't leave these things and go forward alone. If others are willing to believe what you say and give you enough trust, then you should not live up to these trusts, yes ?"

Eric took a sip of the warm...he looked down, not sure what it was. It tastes a bit like coffee, but more bitter and mellow. This is something called a tree grape, which is relatively common locally. People cut the vine grapes and take out the fruit. After simple processing and roasting, they are ground into powder, which becomes their drink for pleasure in bitterness. They call this thing black coffee.

He quickly raised his head to look at the position on Du Lin's chest, he didn't dare to look directly into Du Lin's eyes, "Yes, Mr. Du Lin. You did the right thing!"

Du Lin was very satisfied with his answer, "It seems that we have found a direction that both parties can understand, so in order to keep myself in a safe situation, I will inevitably be very hostile to the outside world or things that may be malicious. This is why I hope you can forgive me." After getting Eric's affirmative answer, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed, "Are you married?"

The sudden question made Eric, who felt extremely tired, suddenly tremble, and he didn't feel any pain when the relatively hot black coffee in his hand spilled on the back of his hand, "You... mean?"

"It's just us chatting. Seriously, with my ability, after knowing your name and where you work, I can easily find out all the information about you. Your parents, your relatives, your Wife, your child, even if you have a dog, I can easily know what the dog's name is. So this is just a small talk, we should let go of our prejudices and talk about ordinary things, don't you want to chat with me chat?"

Eric fell silent, and Du Lin didn't urge him, but just looked at him with a smile. After about a minute, Eric nodded, "Yes, I'm married and I'm about to have my first child."

Du Lin's expression was vivid, "Wow, this is the first good news I heard today. You must love your wife and family very much."

Eric nodded, "Yes, I love them more than anything.", just like Dulin said, no matter what he hides, Dulin can find out his information through various channels. Instead of turning the situation that had started to improve because of such things, it is better to follow Du Lin's words, and these ordinary dialogues and talking about the family issues he cares about the most, he gradually relaxed a lot and became less nervous.

"I have family too, and I love them more than anything else, just like you. So, I want to give them the best things in the world, even if they want the sun, one day I will use something that can fly into the sky , Go pick off a corner of the sun and give it to them." Dulin watched Eric's cigarettes and gave him another one, "Talk about you, are you busy with work? How much is your salary? Oh, I I don't want to find out what you have done, it's the same as before, just chatting, you just pretend I'm curious."

At this time, Du Lin felt very strange to Eric. He couldn't tell, "I'm very busy at work, and I'm often away from home for a long time. I have to say that I'm sorry for my family. As for the salary, it's actually not that much. , sixty-six yuan a month, and a subsidy of three yuan a day if you perform field work." Originally, I should have stopped when I said this, but I don't know what drove Eric, he added He said, "So everyone is vying for the opportunity to work outside. If you can work outside for a month, all the income will add up to about 200 yuan."

"Two hundred yuan?" Du Lin sighed softly, and shook his head and said, "It's very presumptuous, I think you are very pitiful..., yes, very pitiful. You have to leave your family for two hundred yuan You have to take a very high risk every month, maybe your family will lose a beloved son, a reliable husband, and a great father at any time!" When he said this, Du Lin took out a Two hundred-dollar banknotes were lit with a lighter, and he stretched out his hand to light a cigarette for Eric. With a faint smile, he looked directly into Eric's eyes, "Look, a month is gone! "...
