After the beluga got off the helicopter, he quickly walked across the runway and past the huge "H" symbol on the ground.
A shuttle bus stopped next to her, and two heavily armed combatants jumped out quickly, looking around with guns in hand.
Then a woman in a white suit came up, quickly took the cold-weather clothes that the beluga took off, and then respectfully asked the beluga to get on the shuttle bus.
The shuttle bus drove slowly and arrived at the other end of the airport runway.
There is a silver-painted aircraft parked here waiting.
Step on the steps of the gangway to board the plane and walk into the cabin. The cabin is mainly decorated in cold colors and business style.
Beluga casually walked to a seat at the back and sat down, sinking his old body completely into the soft chair, and then breathed out softly: "Okay, let's go home. This trip can be long."
It’s really frustrating.”
"Yes, ma'am." The woman in the white suit obviously played a role similar to an assistant. She quickly went to the front and gave the order to the crew.
Beluga leaned back in his seat and turned to look at the runway outside the window, looking at the heavily armed combatants looking around with vigilance.
"Do you need something to drink?" The white suit came back and whispered: "The plane will take off in twenty minutes."
"...Give me water, clear water." Beluga rubbed his temples, but then changed his mind: "Forget it, give me a glass of wine, I need some alcohol to fight the headache."
"OK."
A glass of champagne was quickly served.
Beluga took a sip of wine, his expression seemed to be more relaxed, and then he tilted his head slightly: "Tell me, are there any troublesome things that need to be dealt with?"
The man in the white suit immediately sat up straight, took out a small notepad and opened it. At the same time, he took out a pair of glasses from his jacket pocket and put them on.
"The B3 action team requested a batch of heavy equipment. The list was sent this morning, which includes some heavy weapons classified as sensitive items by the company..."
"Give it to them," Beluga said lightly.
"?" White Suit glanced at the white whale in silence.
Beluga sighed: "Now that you've made your bet, don't look back and forth. If this thing fails, I won't get any good results anyway. If it succeeds, no one will pursue the use of heavy weapons."
"Okay, I will arrange it immediately." The woman in the white suit nodded.
"Is there any more bad news?" Beluga had a smile on his face.
"The committee informs you that the fourth meeting of this year..."
"Turn it down." Beluga said calmly: "Before the Antarctic matter comes to an end, I have no interest in attending that kind of meeting and accepting criticism from a group of people.
As the saying goes, if we fail, there will be no good fruit to eat anyway.
If we succeed, these guys will come licking my boots.
Before that, don’t pay attention to these people.”
"Mr.
After hearing this, Beluga thought seriously for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips little by little: "This guy is anxious..."
Huh, a loser will always be a loser. He wants to get close to the new forces in the company to gain benefits, but he doesn't want to lose the friendship of an old friend like me.
Tell him that I am not interested in talking to him. I only ask him to give me absolute support according to the conditions I proposed when we last talked!
Tell him that this time there is no swing, no hedging. Either bet on me, or wait and see if I succeed, the BOSS may come out to clear everything!
Tell him exactly what I said, dear."
The woman in the white suit asked cautiously: "But, will this anger him?
He is a veteran member of the committee like you, and we need support for our actions this time.
If such news is conveyed, if it angers him... he may set up some obstacles to our actions..."
"He doesn't have that kind of courage." White Whale smiled: "He is not one of the new forces in the committee.
He is an old man, and he also knows the terror of the BOSS.
This guy has the guts to hedge his bets.
But my action this time is a conspiracy, do you understand? My action this time is completely in line with BOSS's consistent will and goals.
At this time, anyone who dares to openly obstruct this operation is a traitor.
Those new forces don't understand the terror of BOSS.
But he knows it very well!
He would never dare.
Just reply to him as I said.
I just want to force him!
Oh, right. Add a sentence!
Tell him that I am saving his life! So stop saying those damn complaints to me, he should be grateful to me."
The woman in the white suit quickly recorded it, and then looked at the notepad: "Okay, these are the important things... I have classified other tasks according to their importance levels. For things in Category B and below, I
It has been processed, and the processing result logs are stored in your private message box."
Beluga looked at the woman in a white suit in front of him, with a thin face, short blond hair, and thin lips...
She suddenly reached out her hand, touched the other person's cheek gently, and said with a gentle smile: "My dear, you will become an excellent manager. I have full confidence in you."
The woman in the white suit immediately lowered her head: "That's all thanks to your teachings - if I really have that day."
"Hypocrisy." White Whale smiled, let go of his hand, and continued: "However, for managers, hypocrisy is a very good quality - continue to maintain it."
The woman in the white suit suddenly looked a little nervous.
"Relax, dear." Beluga smiled and picked up another glass of wine: "When you reach my age, you will understand a truth...
Everything must be done slowly."
"I will try my best to fulfill all your requirements." The woman in the white suit nodded, her face returning to indifference and calmness.
"By the way, it's this expression, cold and calm - in short, don't let others see through your thoughts and emotions easily."
The woman in the white suit thought for a while: "You...do you have any work to explain?"
"Hmm..." Beluga thought for a moment: "Is there any interesting news? On our website, in our underground world, has anything interesting happened in the past day?"
"some."
The woman in the white suit immediately replied: "The incident that caused a lot of attention before, the saboteur, the captain of the Abyss organization, provoked the enlightenment and became a god. Regarding his challenge to the controller, General Electric, there is a result."
Beluga was stunned for a moment: "So fast?"
"Yes."
"So... what was the result? Was the captain beaten to death by General Electric?"
"...No, he succeeded. General Denki openly admitted that the captain has the power to be a controller."
"…………"
The white whale suddenly fell silent!
After a few seconds, the old lady asked coldly: "What next?"
The woman in the white suit was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed: "Mr. Beluga...the daily management of the platform belongs to the authority of another committee member, and they are also following up on this matter. I...
"
"Go and check." Beluga said coldly.
"...Yes, I'm going to collect information right away."
"Go and investigate this matter! Go and investigate the captain! You have to work very hard, be very careful, and collect all the information, news, experiences, and everything you can find about the abyss, the captain, and this guy!
Regardless of the details, dig them all out for me!
I want to know how old he was when he became an esper! I want to know how old he was when he debuted!
Even the name of his first girlfriend, how old he was when he first slept with a woman, and where he did it... all...
Find out for me!"
Beluga's mood was obviously a bit unusual. The woman in the white suit felt it, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. She just nodded cautiously: "Okay, I will do my best."
"After checking, send all the information to my private and secure email."
At this time, the crew member came over to remind that the plane was about to take off. Beluga nodded, and the expression of the kind old lady returned to her face. She smiled at the crew member and said: "Find me a blanket, dear.
of."
·
The white whale turned over on the soft chair, and then opened his eyes.
"Sir, do you need to go to the bedroom and take a rest?" The voice of the woman in a white suit came from beside her.
"No need, I don't like the bed on the plane." Beluga shook his head: "Where are we?"
"We will land in an hour. You woke up on time."
The white suit man stood up immediately and quickly brought a hot towel and a glass of water.
The white whale wiped his face, took a few drinks, and then looked at the front of the cabin.
Through a safety door, you can vaguely see several heavily armed combatants in the front section of the cabin.
Beluga smiled.
She suddenly turned to look at the woman in the white suit: "Do you know what I'm laughing at?"
"……I have no idea."
"They may never know...that the target of their protection is someone who doesn't need their protection at all.
Don't you think this is humorous?"
"So, do you need me to remove the security personnel from your entourage?"
"No, just keep going.
A weak old lady who needs protection from others will make others feel less threatening."
·
When the plane landed at a private airport in Iceland, there was already an old-looking classic car waiting on the runway.
When Beluga got off the plane, he waved to the woman in the white suit behind him.
The woman in the white suit did not get off the plane, but stopped inside the door.
She knows very well the special secret of Lord Beluga:
Once the plane lands on this land, everyone in the company, including herself, is not allowed to continue to follow her.
Lady Beluga, she has her own secrets in this land.
Watching the white whale slowly get into the classic car, the woman in the white suit also saw clearly that the driver was a middle-aged man with thin hair, with a cold expression and a steady gaze.
White Suit knew that person - every time he accompanied this adult back to Iceland, this driver would pick him up.
Of course she wouldn't, and she didn't dare to pry into the secrets of the white whale.
No one in the company dares.
A senior member of a company's committee has some secrets of her own that even other committee members would not be willing to pry into too much - that is an act of strong hostility.
The woman in the white suit vaguely knew a legend that existed among the company's top executives:
This Beluga, who once held a high position in the company, was willing to hand over his power, choose semi-retirement, and live in seclusion in Iceland...
An agreement was reached with other members of the committee, which is:
All forces of the Octopus Monster Company are not allowed to enter Iceland!
In other words, Iceland is a reserved land and a back garden prepared by this old lady for her.
For the White Whale who was willing to hand over his authority in exchange for retirement, other members of the committee expressed their willingness to abide by this agreement.
The woman in the white suit knew that she was trusted and reused by Lord White Whale. She had followed Lord White Whale and served as Lord White Whale's special assistant for more than ten years.
Even the presence of Beluga in the Octopus Company is basically demonstrated by her.
However, the woman in the white suit also clearly realized that in terms of true absolute trust, in the eyes of Mr. Beluga, she might not be as good as the driver of the classic car who drove to the airport to pick her up.
On this island, on this land, there is Lord Beluga's own secret - and I have not yet obtained Lord Beluga's permission to approach it.
·
"Carl, you should really change your clothes before picking me up. Your clothes smell like fish - and the car also smells like fish."
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Beluga seemed to have turned into that old old woman again, muttering and complaining.
"That can't be helped. I just went to the fishing port in the morning and I don't have time to go home and take a shower and change clothes." The driver Carl replied without looking back, his tone was very relaxed, and there was no trace of the nervousness and nervousness of the woman in the white suit when facing the beluga whale.
Respectfully.
"How is your son?"
"As usual, fishing. But this time the harvest is good, I should be able to make a fortune." Karl continued to talk casually, holding the steering wheel with one hand and resting the other hand casually on the car window.
"I remember your son is almost eighteen years old, right?"
"Yes, I will be eighteen next month."
"Karl, have you ever thought about letting your son..."
"Forget it." Karl smiled, glanced at the white whale in the rearview mirror, curled his lips and said: "I already swore an oath when I followed you to this hellish place... What the hell am I doing?
's retired."
"But I remember that you were very unwilling to do so."
"That was back then." Karl smiled: "But I have already married a woman here and gave birth to a son.
I'm so integrated into this place.
You know, Beluga.
Sometimes I wake up from bed in the morning and see my dog lying next to the bed. I get up to wash up and look at myself in the mirror with flabby muscles and wrinkles on my face...
This feels great, you know?”
Beluga said nothing and looked at his driver quietly.
"I mean... I haven't had a nightmare in years." Carl suddenly sighed: "Can you imagine? White Whale?
The last time I had a nightmare, I dreamed about the most terrifying thing, and it was just a fight with my wife."
The white whale sighed: "Okay, Carl, I understand what you mean...
What I just said...
I just want to say, if you need it, if you want your son..."
"NO!"
Karl suddenly turned his head and glanced at the white whale, his tone was very serious:
"When you brought me here, you said you were going to retire!
Today, my son is just a fisherman working on a fishing boat.
I am also just a driver.
Okay?
Beluga, that’s it.”
The white whale was silent for a while, then raised his head, with a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Then do as you wish, Karl.
To...die in bed!"
"Yes, for the sake of dying in bed." Karl laughed and continued to drive.
"Is everything okay at home?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
·
The car drove slowly, passing through a fishing port, through a small town, through a plain, and then through a small town...
When we finally stopped, we saw a farm and a small forest.
A large house with local style.
Wide and thick thick wooden fence wall and rusty metal fence gate.
After the car drove in, it stopped next to the house.
When Beluga got out of the car, Carl also got out of the car.
When he opened the door and got out of the car, he could see that the driver had only one leg - his right leg.
He quickly took out a crutch to support himself, then limped to the house and opened the door, and the white whale walked in.
In the room, there were only ashes left in the fireplace, but the room was still warm.
On the sofa in the living room, a woman wearing a sweater was sitting there, holding wool and crocheting needles beside her, but she was sleeping with her head tilted.
Karl walked over, added some firewood to the fireplace, and started the fire again.
Then, Carl walked into another room.
In this room, an old man was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Karl went over to open the man's eyelids and took a look, then touched the temperature of the heater on the wall.
He then limped out. When he came to the living room, Beluga had already put on a shabby-looking sweater jacket on herself, and her hair was untied and disheveled.
"Everything is normal, just as it was when you left." Karl nodded.
"Okay then, Carl, see you next time."
"See you next time."
Karl said, turned around and left, closing the door. Soon the sound of a car starting and driving away was heard outside.
The white whale stood there and looked, then turned and walked up the stairs.
Pushing the door and entering the largest room inside, Beluga walked to the oversized soft bed, looked at the sheets, then came to the window, and slowly moved his body closer to the window where the sun could shine.
On a lounge chair.
After adjusting to the most comfortable position, Beluga gently took out a bell from under the lounge chair.
Gently, she shook the bell in her hand.
That crisp sound seemed to carry some kind of magic power, penetrating the room, the door, the walls, and the ceiling...
It spread throughout the big house, every corner!
·
In the living room, the woman who was sleeping on the sofa suddenly woke up.
In the room, the old man who was sleeping soundly on the bed turned over and sat up.
Jingle bells, a rattle on the wall rings simultaneously.
The woman on the sofa immediately rubbed her eyes, then put her knitting yarn and crocheting needle aside, glanced at the fire in the fireplace, then walked to the cabinet, picked up a small hat that must symbolize the identity of a nurse and put it on herself.
superior.
Two minutes later...
The door to Beluga's room was pushed open.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Beluga, are you awake?"
A woman wearing a nurse's hat came in with a smile.
Then came the old man. Unlike the female nurse, the old man also had a stethoscope hanging around his neck.
Beluga smiled gently: "Can you check your body now?"
"Of course, I'm sorry, I fell asleep just now... I thought you wanted to rest for a while after breakfast, so I fell asleep.
Ah. How long have I slept?"
Beluga smiled softly: "Not long, only an hour."
The old doctor wearing a stethoscope quickly examined the beluga and nodded: "Very good, madam, there is nothing wrong with your body."
Beluga smiled broadly: "So... it's another beautiful day?"
"Yes, nice day."
·
After the nurse and doctor left, the beluga continued to sit on the deck chair and bask in the sun for a while.
Then, she slowly picked up a phone on the cabinet next to the lounge chair in the room.
After dialing the number, I waited quietly for a while before the call was connected.
"Honey...where are you?"
On the other end of the phone, a deep metallic voice came: "Mom? Are you awake?"
"Yes, honey. I just got checked out and they said I'm doing fine. Have a nice day."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone: "That's good."
Beluga continued to smile: "When do you plan to come back to see me this time?"
"...Soon, just in the past few days, I will go back after dealing with some things...you know, that rat who stole things, I will catch him soon."
"Okay, don't worry too much, I mean, this kind of thing shouldn't hinder me from seeing my son.
