The weather is very good today. The afternoon sun slants into the hotel restaurant. The golden light spots and soft shadows interweave to create an atmosphere that is so lazy that it makes people almost drowsy. Anyway, those who take the time to sit down while busy
After a while, the waiters who were chatting quietly began to yawn one after another.
It wasn't until they saw the guests coming in that they hurriedly got up and hurried back to their respective posts.
And the person who came to the restaurant was none other than Anne Bennie!
However, unlike the state of the waiters, she seemed unusually energetic when she came to the restaurant.
Because, she had just gotten up, and she had not just gotten up from her nap, but she had slept from last night to the afternoon of the next day, sleeping until her stomach growled and she had to get up.
Therefore, no matter how sleepy others are at this time, no matter how suitable the atmosphere here is, she is still the most awake one among them!
However, it is getting late now. It is easy to tell from the westward slanting sunlight that the time has quietly slipped to at least fifteen or six o'clock in the afternoon.
Breakfast at this time is definitely a no-brainer, lunch seems to have already passed, and dinner seems not yet time, so it is undoubtedly very embarrassing to come to the restaurant at this time.
But Annie won’t care about that much, because she can do whatever she wants and eat whenever she wants, and she won’t mind other people’s eyes!
Then there’s….
She has always felt that no matter when, as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, someone else will be embarrassed?
Anyway!
Since I had called the front desk in advance before coming down, even though the time seemed particularly inappropriate, after seeing her come in and take a seat, the waiters who were still chatting or napping quickly went to the kitchen and served her food.
A large table of dishes arrived, allowing Anne to enjoy this huge restaurant and the leisurely afternoon sunshine all to herself.
However……
Unfortunately, this rare tranquility did not last long.
"..."
(_)
There was no surprise. When Annie picked up the chopsticks and small bowl to start eating, she saw:
A tall, thick-set man with a slender face, wearing a dirty leather jacket. His whole body was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke, which could be smelled from a distance. He had obvious fatigue on his face, but his eyes were bright and clear.
, and then the weird middle-aged uncle who was still smiling when he looked at her went straight to the hotel restaurant. Then the other party did not speak, nor did he sit down on any table or chair, he just stood not far away and said
Looking at her?
"..."
(||￢▽￢)
That kind of situation, even if she thinks about it with Tibbs's ass, Anne knows it and can probably see it. The other party must be coming for her, and she can probably guess what the other party is going to do. After all, it's similar.
She has seen many situations.
"..."
(.)
It can be seen that many visits lead to many encounters. When being disturbed at this time, she could not help but frown slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned to the side. At the same time, there was an inexplicable irritation and disgust in her heart.
That's right, it's just disgust, the kind of disgust that the other person doesn't even look at!
"Uh-huh..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
However, since the other party had some sense and did not come over to talk rashly and made herself even more uncomfortable, Annie thought for a while and simply ignored the other party and just ate her own delicious food.
.
However……
"..."
(^)
"..."
(||￢￢)
As he ate, he still stood there when he saw the other person, and looked like he was waiting for him to come over immediately after he had finished eating. He also kept waiting eagerly for him with a faint urging look. Gradually, although he kept hugging him,
With the mentality of 'as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, someone else will be embarrassed', but Annie still felt a little uncomfortable when the other party looked at her.
And the food that was originally quite delicious began to become a little tasteless, as if even the taste buds had suddenly lost their former vitality?
"..."
(‘~`;)
"..."
(.)
As a result, while Annie hurriedly speeded up and ate, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glance at the other person from time to time, and the movements of her hands became more and more impatient.
She tried to hide her dissatisfaction with the action of eating, but it seemed to be of no use. The other person's behavior of staring at her made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles and couldn't get enough of it!
"..."
(｀)
Therefore, after more than ten minutes, Annie had to put down the bowls and chopsticks early with some annoyance, and decided to go out for a walk first, and then eat something else outside depending on the situation.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I didn't disturb you, did I?"
However, just after Annie wiped her mouth with a tissue, before she could jump off the chair and leave, the weird man finally couldn't help it and strode up to her, smelling of sweat and cigarettes, and then some
He asked with a flattering smile, knowingly asking.
"..."
()
Of course, Anne didn't like to talk to the other party, so she just gave the other party an expression that she could feel for herself, and hoped that the other party would retreat and stop bothering her.
After all, the appearance of the other party caused her to not have a good meal. This kind of thing can be minor or serious. If she hadn't just woken up and she wasn't in a bad mood, and the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, the consequences would have been very serious.
It's hard to say.
"uh-huh!"
Then, regardless of whether Annie agreed or not, after the waiters quickly removed the dishes and the dishes that had not been eaten much, the weird man who called himself Shi Qiang calmly sat down opposite Annie's table, and then just winked.
Without even opening his mouth, he introduced himself:
"That's it..."
"My name is Shi Qiang, from the Earth Defense and Security Department..."
"Or, you can think of me as a policeman?"
Halfway through, he was afraid that Annie wouldn't be able to understand his identity, so he thought for a moment and simply took out his previous identity as a police officer.
"I came here mainly to ask you some questions. Can you tell me something?"
"It must be possible, right?"
And judging from the fact that he was unwilling to move after sitting down and the waiters quickly evacuated the restaurant one by one, and then considerately closed the door for the two of them from outside, Anne knew that the other party should be sure if he didn't ask anything today.
He won't give up.
"..."
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
So, as a last resort, Anne sighed and decided to give the other party a little time.
"Hurry up!"
(˙o˙)
"I didn't eat well just now, so uncle shit, you only have ten minutes!"
(′ o′)
After all, the other party took advantage of her rest time to change most of the people in the entire hotel. If she didn't say something, maybe these guys from the PDC Earth Defense and Security Department would definitely keep pestering her.
Just like the Matrix Company in the previous world and the headquarters of the Men in Black and a certain S.H.I.E.L.D. in the previous world, there are always some super troublesome guys or organizations in every world. If you don’t
Get rid of them and it will always be difficult for her to move freely and play happily.
Of course, it seems that there is no SHIELD now, but it has become her Bear Shield. At least the plane she has been to is that way, and speaking of it, when she sees the strange uncle in front of her, she
Suddenly, I kind of remembered Colson from back then.
Because the identity of the guy in front of me and what he wants to do should be almost the same as what Colson and Aunt Melinda wanted to do back then?
Perhaps, this is the reason why Anne reluctantly planned to cooperate with the other party?
However, even cooperation has its limits, ten minutes at most, and really no more.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Forget it!"
(￣︶￣)
"You don't need to ask, I'd better tell you directly!"
(_)
But soon, before the other party could think about it and speak, Anne, who was already very familiar with a certain process and had experienced it more than once or twice, jumped in front of the other party and said:
"My name is Annie, and she is eight years old!"
(`)~
"I am from the Federation of Heroes of the Koprulu Sector. I have been here on this earth for a few days, so you don't need to investigate his identity. It will definitely not be found."
()
"I don't have any purpose for coming to your place. I just want to hang out and find some good food and fun. I guarantee that I have no connection with the Trisolaran you are worried about!"
()
"besides!"
|▽)
"You'd better not make any bad ideas, because once someone gets angry, the consequences will be very serious!"
(-)
In this way, while the other party and the weird uncle Shi Qiang were dumbfounded, Annie directly and openly stated that she was not an earthling, but an "alien" and the purpose of coming to the earth.
After all, it was not something that couldn't be said. Anne, who didn't want to keep tossing these weird guys in front of her who probably wouldn't give up easily if they didn't achieve their goals, naturally chose to tell the truth directly. As for what would happen if the other party knew about it
She has no control over what she will think or how she will react.
Anyway, she definitely doesn't mind, and she doesn't care if the other party minds, because it's useless even if they mind, she just comes here to play, and if someone doesn't let her play, then she doesn't mind upgrading the gameplay a little bit.
, like a game of Star Wars first or something?
"..."
As for what was left unsaid, when Anne finished speaking, she looked at Anne's charming face at the end and thought about what she had heard. She never expected that the person in front of her was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Trisolarans, and even wanted to assassinate and lust after her.
After finding out that the little girl was an alien, Shi Qiang felt a little uncomfortable on the spot, and then kept touching his lower back.
but……
At this time, a certain subconscious in his heart frequently sounded the alarm. Realizing that once he made some unfriendly action, it would probably lead to some serious consequences, he still endured it and began to think urgently.
and worry about gains and losses.
"Uncle, you have eight minutes left!"
(`)
"If you want to know anything else, just ask!"
(ì_í)
Anne didn't care what the other person thought, she just waited for a short while, and when she saw that the other person didn't respond, she hurriedly urged and reminded her.
After all, her time is limited. When the time comes, will she really leave, and will she be the kind of person who can't keep him even if he wants to?
"I……"
"All right!"
Although the news just now was indeed very explosive and seriously exceeded his scope of authority, after thinking about it, Shi Qiang, who felt that the opportunity was rare, gritted his teeth and asked:
"Are you really an alien?"
"Where is the Koprulu sector?"
Yes, these two issues are crucial. Shi Qiang feels that it is better to clarify these two fatal issues first.
"In a sense, they are aliens!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"But it's okay to treat them as Earthlings. After all, we all look the same, and they can speak several of your Earthly languages!"
(-)
"As for the Koprulu sector, it is on one of the cantilever tails at the edge of the Milky Way. You will definitely not be able to find it or go there."
(*^▽^*)
That’s right!
Because the Keprulu sector that Anne mentioned is actually in another universe plane. If the people and technology here want to go to another plane, they will definitely not be able to do it, even if they seem to have mastered some kind of
The same goes for techniques for compressing and expanding latitudes.
"..."
Shi Qiang's eyes widened again and he fell silent.
Because, he was very sure that he had heard something amazing again. If the little girl in front of him hadn't lied or played a prank, then today's matter would probably be a big deal.
Therefore, he began to wonder whether he should report it immediately and then ask his superiors, such as Chang Lao, to talk to the other party in person?
"..."
However, thinking that the opportunity was rare and that time was limited, he couldn't bear to think too much, so he sat up slightly and suppressed the horror in his heart, and continued to ask a series of questions:
"You really have no other purpose for coming to Earth?"
"Aren't they just like the Trisolarans who want to invade and destroy us?"
"besides!"
"You deliberately avoided yesterday's assassination, right?"
"Why do the Trisolarans want to assassinate you?"
"Does your Koprulu sector have a conflict with them?"
After all, there were only a few minutes left. Although he didn't know what the other party would do after the time was up, Shi Qiang felt that he should try to learn as much as possible.
"Um……"
(′～`●)
"I won't answer the first and second questions. As I just said, they are really just here to have fun. Why do they want to destroy you if you are so good? Do you look like that kind of bad guy?"
(⊙⊙)
Anne was sure that she would be very popular no matter which world she went to. After all, she was a smart, smart, lively and lovely girl.
"As for what happened yesterday..."
(*ω-q)
"Those stupid guys are so naive that they don't even have the motivation to fight back, so I have to play with them!"
()hey-hey
"at last!"
()
"There's nothing wrong with me if I'm not familiar with the Trisolaris, at least not before I came to Earth! As for why they came to assassinate me, maybe it's because they did something unfriendly to them, right?"
(゜▽＾*)
Yes, that day when she was bored and watching videos in that grilled fish restaurant, Annie casually crushed a sophon and it was probably at that time that she formed a sophon. Therefore, it doesn’t seem too big to say that she has no feud with Trisolaris.
precise?
"That's it!"
"That is to say..."
"Are you really an alien?"
"No ill will towards our planet?"
"And..."
"Now Sansei and Tomoko should also know the conversation we just had..."
Nodding and thinking, and thinking of the all-pervasive Sophon, Shi Qiang couldn't help but glance around the restaurant with some solemnity, and was worried about the current complicated situation.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have asked so many questions just now, and it seemed that he shouldn't continue asking any more.
"Tomoko?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"That's not true!"
(▽)
"Those sophons don't dare to approach other people's houses!"
()
I really don't dare, because once they come within the detectable range and peek at Anne, Anne will definitely not mind continuing to crush them.
In fact, since she crushed it a few days ago, the other party seems to have only dared to manipulate or invade certain devices, such as the surveillance cameras on the street and in the house to monitor her from a distance. It would definitely be inappropriate to approach that directly.
So brave.
"Do you still have any means to deal with Tomoko?"
Hearing that Annie actually knew about Tomoko and seemed to have some means of resistance, Shi Qiang opened his mouth wide in surprise again and couldn't close it for a long time.
"That's great!"
"etc!"
"Please allow me to report first!"
Then, knowing that his level was no longer high enough and that many issues should not be considered by him, he could no longer care about anything else. He quickly took out a mobile phone and walked aside to start an urgent report.
And soon!
When he explained the situation clearly, he hurried back to the table and asked Anne to leave the hotel with him immediately.
"Why go?"
(.)
Annie was already a little impatient, because ten minutes had passed, and she was going out to play now, but she didn't have time to play the boring house game of fighting aliens with the monster in front of her.
"To a safe place of course!"
"You don't think you can continue to live here and go out every day, do you?"
Then Shi Qiang was speechless and asked in a dumbfounded way.
In fact, not to mention Annie's 'alien' status, just for those ETO terrorists who still seemed unwilling to fail, it was already a great security miracle that they could stay in this hotel for one more day.
"Why not?"
(o)
Anne was a little puzzled.
"ETO will kill you!"
"In fact, they have already assassinated you! Once you leave here, they will continue!"
Shi Qiang directly posted the locations and video surveillance of the ETO killers lurking in the periphery that they had discovered on the spot on his mobile phone, and carefully handed them to Annie to signal.
"So that's it!"
(0)
"But didn't they fail?"
(ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~
Anne took it and just glanced at it, then quickly let it go and asked it knowingly, but also with a bit of disdain.
"By the time they succeed, it will be too late!"
"Although I don't know how your superiors will treat you later, being here is really not conducive to our security work."
"real!"
Thinking that he was protecting an alien, Shi Qiang couldn't help but sigh again. He didn't know what to say, he just felt that his heart was in a mess.
"But people think they won't succeed!"
('')
Anne is still a bit stubborn and won't listen to the other party at all.
"cough--"
"It's no use telling me, let's go, I'm just following orders!"
Sighing again, Shi Qiang, who had received the latest and highest order, just wanted to take the little alien girl in front of him away from here quickly, and then leave the trouble to the bureaucrats.
After all, he is just an intelligence officer of the Earth Defense and Security Department. It is really not his place to make decisions on certain matters. He is only good at following orders.
"Then where are we going?
(.)
After thinking for a while, Annie asked a rare question.
"have no idea!"
“You’ll know once you go there.”
Shi Qiang shook his head and said he didn't know.
Because his superior just asked him to take people to an evacuation point as soon as possible, and a helicopter would be available to respond. As for where they would go, he really didn't know.
“But I don’t want to go!”
-
(゜-゜)つロ
As she spoke, Annie stood up and reached out to pick up her little bear, and then prepared to skip away from the restaurant.
"etc!"
"Little guy, it doesn't matter what you say, and it doesn't matter what I say!"
Seeing this, Shi Qiang wailed in his heart, and then hurriedly stood up and followed, but at the same time he was a little at a loss, obviously very embarrassed, even though he wanted to reach out to stop Annie alive, but he couldn't.
Don't know how to stop it.
"I……"
"you……."
Anyway, he thinks that using violence and coercion is not feasible?
After all, as the earth is currently threatened by the Trisolarans and life and death are only a few hundred years away, his superiors definitely don't want him to offend or harm another alien from a different place.
human.
"Right..."
()
At this moment, Annie, who originally didn't want to go, stopped and turned to look at Shi Qiang before blinking and asking:
"Is there any delicious food in the place you want to go to?"
()
Annie didn't eat very well just now, so if the other party could treat her to a meal or several big meals, she might be able to go along reluctantly?
Of course, she has no other intentions. The main reason is that she doesn't seem to have any destination now, so where is she going?
Furthermore, it seems that there are indeed many ETO guys out there who want to cause trouble for her. Although she is not afraid of those bad guys, if she can avoid them and save herself some worries, she is still willing to accept them with an open mind.
"!!"
"Don't worry, you can have whatever you want!"
"I promise!"
"In fact..."
"As long as you need it, we can find you the best chefs and the best ingredients in the world, so that you can eat the best food on the entire planet?"
Yes, Shi Qiang can indeed guarantee this, even within his authority.
In any case, the little girl in front of him is now a target that needs their protection and monitoring. If the other party just wants delicious food, as long as it is available on the earth, he believes that the PDC will definitely satisfy it as much as possible.
Besides, it's just about eating and not asking for anything else, so it's really not difficult to handle.
Besides, how much can a mere little girl eat and drink?
"You should have told me earlier!"
(°°)°!
After hearing what the other party said, Annie immediately changed her mind and even seemed a little impatient.
"Let's go! Lead the way~!"
*(*)*~
Then, she quickly urged.
That’s right!
In Annie's opinion, what the other person said before was all nonsense, and only the last sentence was the point!
If the other party had said that earlier, she would have stopped worrying and nagging and left with him long ago. Where would she have wasted so much saliva and time?
(…)
(;￢￢)
"??"
"I"
"this"
Seeing that things suddenly became smoother, and seeing how easily the alien in front of him was bribed, Shi Qiang was a little dumbfounded, and then he just stood there blankly, unable to react for a long time.
