Just when the convoy arrived at the special office area of Luoyang Internal Affairs Rectification Committee, C. C. realized that his troubles today seemed not to be over yet.
Several military transport vehicles were parked in front of the committee building, and a dozen officers were transporting files just received from Order. The young man in the front wearing a white coat and headphones heard the car brake and immediately raised his head, with a rather exaggerated smile on his face.
"C. C.!"
C. C.'s expression suddenly fell.
"Mao?"
"Oh, it's been so long! You haven't changed at all, C. C., I used to think about-"
"You'd better not finish what you said next."
Mao paused for a moment, but actually did not continue. He took off his earphones and handed the document in his hand to the officer next to him. His movements were so skillful that C. C. was a little surprised.
"Okay, let's talk about work. The Order receptionists have completed the first round of registration. Seventeen people on the list have used other people's identities, and seven of them are planning to use the resettlement plan to re-establish the original secret contact network. I have handed over the evidence to the committee. As for those who really need resettlement...Regent said it would be more appropriate to leave it to you."
"It's him again?!"
"No way, who let you know them?"
C. C. almost smashed the Pizza box over, but she soon noticed that even though Mao had been standing in the crowd for so long, the unbearable irritation he had shown in the past did not appear on his face.
Jiang Lihua also noticed this.
"Mr. Mao, you seem to be in better spirits recently?"
"Excellent, Your Majesty!"
Mao pointed to the soldier next to him who was sorting out files.
"These guys are really good. I used to hate crowded places. There were random noises everywhere within a few hundred meters, but they are different. I can't hear what they are thinking!"
C. C. was slightly startled.
"Can't you hear me either?"
"Yes, they are obviously right next to me, and they will laugh at me because I lost to them during training, but I just can't hear those annoying voices."
The officer standing next to Mao couldn't help but interject. "That's because you don't know how to play cards at all, and you can't say that you can know what others have in their hands in advance."
"How do I know there's no way you can make me hear you?!"
"So you've lost another three months of pudding."
"I've already paid back half of it!"
The officer laughed loudly and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. Instead of avoiding it, Mao confidently asked the officer to teach him how to use a real military pistol next time.
C. C. looked at the smile on his face and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"So, you don't need to listen to my recording every day now?"
Mao subconsciously touched his pocket. The tape recorder was still there, but he just hesitated and let go.
"I still listen occasionally, but now they will ask me to play cards, and the committee also has things for me to do. His Majesty also gave me an official identity. Regent said that since I can identify the guys hiding behind the Order files, I should be responsible for the investigation."
"Then what?"
"Then I discovered that I could do something really useful."
When Mao said this, his voice actually became lower.
"C. C., I always thought that it was quiet only around you. Now I know that there are other places in the world where I can stay. Those officers treat me as one of their own, and the residents of Luoyang will thank me because we caught Order broker who forged his identity. Although it is noisy sometimes, but... this is my country too."
He soon started laughing again.
"So my favorite now is indeed Regent!"
C. C. was finally completely stunned.
"What did you say?"
"Regent! He is really awesome. He also said that he can let me follow the army to other war zones in the future. As long as I continue to do a good job, I can apply for more training projects!"
Kaguya Sumeragi tried hard to hold back his smile, but Jiang Lihua was quite satisfied.
"You see, my Duke of Liang is really good at discovering talents."
"He also asked me to continue to be responsible for Anomalous Ability Personnel Screening of Rectification Committee!" Mao added happily, "This morning we found three more secret fund lines of Order. Those people thought that no one would know them if they changed their names. But as soon as I walked in, they thought about the place where the money was hidden in their minds. Hahahaha!"
C. C. suddenly had some doubts as to whether Lin Cuo was helping Mao return to normal, or whether he was cultivating himself a more dangerous case-handling fanatic.
But at least Mao no longer pinned his entire life on her alone, which made her relieved.
As for why he suddenly regarded Lin Cuo as the most admirable person in the world, C. C. decided not to delve into it for the time being. Anyway, that kid was always good at collecting troublesome people.
"Mao, since you like work so much, then these information about Order--"
"I leave these to you!"
"Say it again? Mao!"
"Regent said, you are more familiar with those children than I am, so--"
"Mao!!"
He ran away immediately. He ran behind officer Training Corps and was immediately protected by a group of veterans. Several people even saluted C. C. very seriously, indicating that committee staff were performing official duties and should not be subject to physical threats at will.
C. C. stood there and finally understood why Lin Cuo liked these soldiers so much.
And just when Luoyang was making this little commotion, Euphemia who was far away from Pendragon looked at a report from Great Han, and looked at Schneizel sitting next to him with some uncertainty.
"Brother Emperor, are all these information... all true? They even wrote down the reasons for the failure in such detail. If they were handed over to us, the empire should be able to directly carry out the next round of experiments, right?"
Schneizel hasn't answered yet, but Lloyd on the other screen has already come over excitedly.
"Congratulations! Your Highness Princess, this is a very valuable thing. Especially on page 17, they also list the attitude deviation that occurs after the projectile is irradiated by the beam! Oh, with this kind of data, I was originally planning to apply for a three-month test budget."
The video of Cornelia was received from the Area 18 headquarters, and his face was uglier than anyone else's.
"I don't care how beautiful the research report that person provided is. Lloyd Earl, you just need to tell me whether it can help the empire reduce the losses of the next aviation assault."
"Your Highness, scientific research is not like a duel between the Royal Family knights. Just shout long live and the data will change according to your will."
Cecile stepped on him violently.
"It hurts! Miss Cecile, I was praising the courage of the Imperial Air Force!"
Schneizel took over the topic at the right time. "Cornelia, at least we can confirm that Great Han did not manipulate the technical data. Imperial Research Institute, Special Technical Department and Area 18's Forward Observation Station can all review this batch of data separately. As for why he was willing to hand it over--"
"Your Highness." Kanon reminded, "There is also a pre-recorded explanation by Regent at the end of the report."
Cornelia seemed to feel something was wrong. That kid definitely had some bad intentions.
"Brother, delete it for me!!"
"Cornelia, this is the official accessory of National Technology-Sharing Order."
"Then turn off the sound and just keep the text description!"
Schneizel suddenly smiled. It was really rare for Cornelia to have such an emotion. "I would like to hear what conditions he is planning to put forward this time."
The video has started to play, and Lin Cuo's expression in the picture is disturbingly sincere, and even his tone carries an overconfident enthusiasm.
"First of all, I have to congratulate Holy Britannia Imperium. You have one of the best scientists in the world, a pretty good industrial base, and some really respectable soldiers. That's good, very good!"
Cornelia Slowly close your eyes.
"Okay! He's starting!"
"Of course, I know that many friends of the empire are very concerned about competition. You always feel that you should be the first. The first Satellite should be yours, the best Shield should be yours, and the most advanced cannon should be yours. I completely understand! If I were the emperor of the empire, I would think so too. Unfortunately, the first Satellite was fired by Great Han."
Lloyd made a strange laugh.
"The Empire is eleven hours late, eleven hours! Friends, I am not laughing at you, I just think science needs honesty. Eleven hours is not a short time, especially when BETA has already flown from Mars. But don't worry, the Pendragon series launched by the Empire later performed quite well. I have always told my colleagues that great competition should make everyone progress."
"Turn it off!" Cornelia finally raised his voice.
