  Friend

  …………

  …………

  Sheilor had a surprise in his heart, but he didn’t have any change on his face. He didn’t thought of, the eyes of this man would be this sharp, that he could see clearly his weird sitting unexpectedly.

  He was not a professional agent or spy, not even could be counted as a professional fugitive, he was only an ordinary young people who had some talents in some aspects, because of some kind of reason, he was forced to step on the road to go into exile and hiding.

  After he left the East Forest Region, he had been reminding himself, he should be a little bit more low-key, a little bit more not eye-catching. But after all, he didn’t have any professional training, he would always have some problems on some improper places. Fortunately he had the help of the disguise chip, he didn’t need to worry about his own safety in the federal society too much. After he got though the scan of the aviation airport, he had full of the confidence in his heart. He knew that once nobody found out the relation between uncle boss and himself, then nobody would have any doubt on him.

  But today was only the first day of the university opens, then he had already been found his oddball by a passerby, and Sheilor was ashamed to have the impulse to face the wall.

  Actually Sheilor still underestimated himself, and overvalued all the passersby of the Federation-- In the federal society, there were not that many people such like Shielding. He had the finishing observation class in the First Military Academy, and then had three whole years of the spy training, of course he would develop the totally different eyes.

  “Don’t litter the cigarette butt.” Sheilor had a bit of panic in his heart, but his voice didn’t have any quiver, he said seriously to Shielding.

  Shielding had a smile, picked up the cigarette butt, he had the strong interest in this little porter, he felt that the other party had some kind of wonderful feeling in the body, it’s very similar to the one of his own, and it seemed that each parties all kept a huge secret in the heart. Shielding didn’t want to let other people to know about his own secret, so he didn’t want to explore anybody’s secret either, anyway, the other party didn’t have any relation with him.

  “Not that many people are still going to the cultivation pavilion now of these days, you should be still very young, I didn’t expect that you would like these things.” Shielding looked at Sheilor, had a yawn, reclined on the iron gate, and said lazily.

  Sheilor could not answer him any question, but first it would be too strange that way, he didn’t know what was this wearing wrinkled suit man doing for; secondly his that pair of not so big eyes, always had the differentiating capability very well. In his eyes, this wearing wrinkled suit man had the boredom and fatigue full on his eyebrows, but he didn’t have any malevolence.

  “I haven’t been to the cultivation pavilion yet.” Sheilor shook his head and said, “horse stance, what kind of thing is it?”

  “Oh, the horse stance is like the posture you just had, which doesn’t have the bottom touching the ground, but your that way is much more difficult than the normal horse stance. Don’t be curious about why I know this much, you should know that I have also muddled along in the cultivation pavilion for a long time in those years.” Shielding laughed up, and then reached out one of his hand, gave a nod as a signal, “Shielding, government staff.”

  And then he emphasized his tone and said, “watching the gate for the government could be counted as staff, right?”

  Sheilor stared blankly for a moment, he also laughed up, reached out his hand and shook with the other party, and then introduced himself, “Sheilor, school staff… If watching the gate could be counted as a serious job.”

  The hands of these two people held together through the fence of the gate, loosened after a moment. Shielding raised his eyebrows a bit and said, “it’s a little bit like visiting a friend in a prison.”

  “It looks like that I’m the one who is locked in the jail.”

  “Why it’s not me? I have to go now, I’ll come back to talk with you if I have a chance.” Shielding looked at that female silhouette walking over from not far away, nodded at Sheilor slightly, the left hand clipped the extinguished cigarette butt, and left the school gate.

  Closed up the heavy car door, Shielding sat on the camp bed, stared at that going to get through the school gate female student on the screen, pointed at that somewhat fuzzy face because of the pixel reason with his index finger, opened his mouth and said, “watch close on her, I don’t care why this called Charming girl would come back, and also don’t care what she really want to get from the Pear Garden University, all you need to do is to block around her, cut off the links between her and all the doubtful points.”

  “Not fishing?” One of the crew member asked curiously, “if this female student really has some problems, this will be a good chance.”

  “I don’t have the interest in that.” Shielding tidied up his that crumpled suit, lowered his head and said, “you must get close to her to go fishing, then you can guarantee that you will not miss any clues, but the problem is that we this group of people, besides me, all have this vicissitude look, how can you go to disguise yourself as a student?”

  “How about disguise as a teacher?” Another team member put in an idea.

  Shielding looked up and gave him a pity look, said, “if you think that your knowledge reservation is good enough to let you not to be booed down from the platform… Then you can give it a try.”

  The time-sharing monitoring and social relation combing work of the group, the commands were sent out one by one orderly, the routine work of the FBI then came to the end, there were only Shielding and one of his subordinates two people left in the black aviation car, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, “check this man for me, his name is called Sheilor.”

  “Well? Need to put on the records?”

  “No, it’s just my personal interest.”

  “Personal interest? If it’s not put on the records, I don’t have any way to access the security classification, I estimate that I couldn’t find anything interesting.” This crew member obviously thought that it must be a woman who he was going to check.

  Sheilor didn’t know at this time, the just met him wearing wrinkled suit man had already began to investigate on him secretly, he just calmly looked at that female student walking past in front of him, had some hope in his mind that she would turn around to take a look at him. But very unfortunately, the wearing black frame glasses Charming seemed to have something weighing on her mind, lowered her head and held the books to walk out of the school gate, and didn’t notice his existence.

  …………

  …………

  The night was getting dark gradually, the Coastal state field service office building of the FBI was still brightly lit, and the busy staffs walked across in the building.

  The Coastal state was one big state of the Capital Planet Circle’s S1 Administrative Region, especially after the university town was put under the jurisdiction of the Coastal state, the territorial scope of the Coastal state and the workload of the public officials were all greatly increased.

  The fourth section of the office was responsible for preventing the infiltration work of the anti-government aspect, now the situation of the Federation was stable, the anti-government troops had already abandoned the policy of the force fight, under the pressure of the Empire, they were negotiating with the government for the cooperation and running in election officially, on the contrary, the fourth section became the most leisure department of the FBI.

  The most leisure official Shielding of the most leisure department, didn’t do as what his colleagues imagined that way at this time, hanging out in every nightclubs dawdling over the beauties and drinking the spirits, but was sitting in his own office, and stared blankly at the light screen in front of him.

  Shielding didn’t really want to explore the secret of that little porter, b
ut he just wanted to get close to that youngster subconsciously, but he also had some secrets in his heart that he didn’t want to be touched by other people, so he must found out that knew to squat the horse stance porter, whether he have any background after all.

  The investigation result which he arranged his subordinate to do came out very quickly, it’s a very clean file, a just retired mine repair soldier, came back to the Capital, engaged himself in an old stuff job, and this looked like no any abnormality.

  “After all, he was a rat squat in the mine, and a very clean field rat.” Shielding looked at the screen with a smile, “what a pity, can’t get more information about this called Sheilor boy, but… How come he would come the same way to the university town with Charming this coincidently? This is really an obvious leak, and he seems to be not the counterpart, just only an interesting guy.”

  All the information about the federal citizens since they were born, were all stored in the vast federal computer monitoring network, through the chips behind their napes, could get the most comprehensive information. But the First Charter of the Federation protected every citizen’s personal privacy with the strictest degree, unless issued the application by related department, these belonged to the citizens personal privacy was forbidden to be known by any aspects.

  In these countless years, the spirit of the First Charter had already enjoyed the popular support, Shielding also didn’t feel surprised. He also didn’t continue to investigate the relationships around Sheilor, his that pretty but tired face suddenly showed out a bit of sadness. After a moment of silence, he threw all the information about Sheilor into the file processor, believed in a very long time, there would be no more people to have the investigation on Sheilor.

  “I finally found a white paper to draw the picture on, shit, been alone for so long, I should also find a playmate, right?”

  Shielding said something that even he wouldn’t believe himself as well, inserted the car remote key into the standard interface of the computer, a not so eye-catching small program began to lurk in the internal network, according to Sheilor this filtration word, from this moment on, if the field service office of the FBI wanted to investigate that little porter, that wouldn’t hide the truth from him.

  In the sunlight, Sheilor held the alloy spherical casting, out of breath to walk down from the high steps, while he was walking, he was complaining that professor had the discrimination against the guest student, every time after the casting class was over, he would always ask him to be responsible for returning the course wares.

  It had already been three months since he came to the Pear Garden University, after he contributed a sum of sponsorship fee, he finally got the guest student card of the university. The university didn’t mind at all that they would have this seemed to have some savings retired soldier as a member of the classroom. The Federation put five hours workday into practice, Sheilor was lazy to look for another house in the Coastal state, so he just kept pursuing porter this very futureless job.

  Everyday besides studied systematically the machine maintenance knowledge he had the interest in hungrily and thirstily, he didn’t have too many things else to do, just needed to have a sleep in the gate house at the night. As for the other several responsible for watching the gate half-old men, he also didn’t have too many contacts…

  All in all, he seemed to go back to that kind of simple but fulfilling life in the East Forest Region, the only different thing was, the present Sheilor lacked a lay in the sofa lazily by his side boss. Oh, he was wrong, there was one more different thing, that was the same lazily government official who was in front of him now.

  “Why do you… Come here again?” Sheilor looked at that stood under the teaching building steps, could dress the next to skin famous and precious suit to a kind of wretched feeling guy, he had his mind confused, and nearly dropped the casting on his own feet.
