Darkness is Coming

   It is the warm sun in the early spring, and the radiance is sprinkled on the tranquil river surface, and the stars are dotted and sparkling.

   A small flat wooden boat floated on the river, with a fishing rod and a wooden table on it.

   There is a rocking chair next to the table, and the boy holding the storybook sits on the rocking chair, quietly and at ease, turning the pages while shaking gently, his childlike innocence is still alive.

   A flat boat, a table of fruits and vegetables, a pot of wine and a book float to the next city.

   This is a journey that Yang Xiaoqian has dreamed of many times, but unfortunately it can only be realized in a dream in the end.

  When the boat drifted across the river bay, the river surface suddenly solidified, like a frozen glacier, and then fine cracks were highlighted, and the glacier shattered in an instant.

   "President Yang." Su Yue, the dream builder wearing ol's business attire, sat on the side and smiled apologetically after seeing Yang Xiaoqian open his eyes, "Xiao Dan is here to report to you."

   Yang Xiaoqian immediately straightened his upper body and sat up from the reclining chair. Only when important matters or emergencies need to be reported, Xiaodan will interrupt the half-hour dream break every day.

"What's up?"

"President, Xu Le has returned to China and will be escorted to Nandu immediately. He will be interrogated in our interrogation room. The interrogation process will be jointly supervised by the commissioners of our association, the parliament, and the 19th Bureau. After the interrogation, he will immediately appear in the court of the awakened. Xiao Dan handed over a tablet, and Yan Wangye, the new leader of the investigation team, was conducting a video conference.

The former head of the investigation team, Jiang Tongguang, resigned after taking the blame and was pulled by Yu Qian to form the procuratorate. Now Yan Wangye is in full charge of the investigation team. Before the procuratorate was formally established, the court of the Awakened still had to cross the river by feeling the stones and make a final verdict. , largely influenced by the outcome of parliament and interrogation.

After Yang Xiaoqian took the tablet, she didn't say anything, and listened quietly to the discussion of Xu Le's case by Yan Wangye, Zhou Tianming and others. Su Yue knew that she was not qualified to be present and wanted to say goodbye, but she wanted to say something when she saw Yang Xiaoqian's serious look. Stop again.

  After hesitating, Su Yue took off her high heels, stepped on the floor with her bare feet, she got up with her skirt up, gave Xiao Dan a look, and was about to leave the lounge.

   "Ms. Su, wait." Yang Xiaoqian stood up and handed the tablet back to Xiao Dan, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will take up a little more of your time."

  ………………

The small room is full of colorful colors, the walls and ceiling are covered with weird patterns, the tables and chairs used for interrogation are also made into extremely twisted strange shapes, even the single-sided mirrors are made into irregular shapes, and all unconventional existences are merged. Together, they form an extremely strange environment, which can cause considerable psychological oppression to those who enter the room.

   But these arrangements had little effect on Xu Le. Compared to Xu Le, who was wearing handcuffs and anklets, the interrogator, who should have been sitting behind the desk to relax, was more nervous, and moved his hips from time to time, like sitting on pins and needles.

"Captain Xu, let's start?" the interrogator asked tentatively. This is a killing **** in front of him. There are few people in the Awakened circle who can provoke him. The interrogator can arbitrarily interrogate him. The reason why he is sitting here is just to warm up for this interrogation. After finding out about Xu Le's current state, the bigwigs standing behind the one-way mirror will come off in person and interrogate Xu Le.

  Xu Le raised his head and stared at the interrogator. There were bright lights facing Xu Le's eyes, but it was the interrogator who was sitting on the backlit side who caused the dazzling feeling.

   The interrogator coughed twice and began to follow the routine procedure, starting with simple details. Ke Xu Le did not cooperate with the interrogator's work. No matter what questions he asked, Xu Le remained silent and said nothing. Later, Xu Le simply ignored the interrogator and closed his eyes.

After a while, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and it was not the interrogation expert with a full set of tools who came in, but Yan Wangye, the leader of the investigation team who rushed to the interrogation room. After entering the door, Yan Wangye made a gesture to indicate the interrogation. When the interrogator left, the interrogator breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello Team Xu, I'm Yan Wangye from the investigation team. You may not know me, but I'm very familiar with you. I remember that when I first woke up, you brought the adjudication team to rescue me and a few friends. Back to Jiangxin Island." Yan Wangye turned off the strong light, and said politely, "I can't repay the grace of saving my life, hey, why don't I bring you some good things, let's eat and drink, and slowly Talk slowly?"

"You are Jiang Tongguang's right-hand man, how could I not know about you?" Xu Le opened his eyes and finally spoke, "Of course you are familiar with me, aren't you responsible for the investigation team's follow-up investigation of me? You even me You know the colors of a few pairs of underwear, can you be familiar with them?"

  Yan Wangye smiled, it turns out that Xu Le knew that he was under surveillance for a long time, but he just pretended not to know, and acquiesced to the investigation team's surveillance of him.

"To be honest, it's all for your own good, but unfortunately we haven't done our job properly, otherwise we wouldn't have to sit here." Yan Wangye sighed, thinking to himself, Captain Xu has always been reticent and shy, After being silent for so long today, he suddenly said such a large paragraph. It is not normal. It is very likely that some kind of change has occurred in the United States, which has led to a change in temperament. However, on the bright side, this at least shows that Xu Le is willing to talk to himself.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those bad things, let's talk, Team Xu, what did you gain from this trip to the United States? Tell me what you did after you went to the United States?" Yan Wangye closed the record. Ben, make a listening gesture and smile relaxed and comfortable.

   "I don't want to say, oh, no, I should say, I don't think I can." Xu Le was reluctant to reveal any information, because he still hadn't figured out why the mutant would let him back so easily.

  Perhaps, the mutant just wanted to use his mouth to reveal some information to President Yang and President Yu? Xu Le couldn't think of a reason for the mutant to do this, and couldn't think of any explanation that could rule out this possibility, so Xu Le thought he should keep his mouth shut.

  Since you can’t really die, then pretend to be dead and say nothing, so you won’t make mistakes.

Yan Wangye stared at it for a long time, sighed, shook his head and said, "Captain Xu, you are the veteran of the Yuanjiao Society, a hero in the war against the corpse, no one in the Yuanjiao Society from top to bottom disrespects you, so you must believe me, I really want to help you. But you should know that this matter is very complicated and involves many aspects. You have to talk to me so that I know how to help you.

   While talking, Yan Wangye pulled a chair and sat opposite Xu Le, offered a cigarette to Xu Le's mouth, and lit him on fire.

   Xu Le involuntarily took a sip, and the mellow bitter taste rushed into his lungs, which made him relax a lot.

   After a while, Yan Wangye's voice gradually drifted away.

   To be precise, everything was far away, Xu Le felt as if he had been thrown into a bottomless abyss, darkness encroached on the surroundings, and memories seemed to be constantly approaching telephoto lenses, occupying the line of sight.
