Name: Francis; Lawrence Date of Birth: December 25, 1966...
Seeing this, Daniel was so shocked that his hands trembled again.
He opened his eyes wide and looked down in disbelief. What he saw was Charles' birthplace, army unit and ID number...
It has been forty-six years since 1966. So, Charles' real age should be forty-six, but Charles looks like he is only twenty-five or six years old at most...
sky……
Blood rushed from the soles of Daniel's feet to his head in an instant, making a buzzing sound in his ears.
Daniel fell to the ground with a "plop", and suddenly what Jessica said just now echoed sharply in his head: "... He is indeed an ancient person... but the time is not long ago... He is only in his twenties at most.
Just people from years ago..."
One sentence after another, repeated mechanically, is like an alarm bell that gives people a splitting headache.
Charles twenty years ago, Charles twenty years later...
How can it be?!
He shook his head desperately, but he couldn't get rid of that terrible and incredible thought from the bottom of his heart.
This ID card may be forged!
He sat on the ground, put his hands on his knees, and stared at the small ID card, hoping to see any trace of forgery in it.
But in the moment when he seemed to be frozen, countless images flashed through his mind involuntarily.
…
"Why bother? How can you work without feeling dizzy when your desk is floating around?" "Don't the CNM branch also have a layout similar to this?"
…
"Are those three people just now your subordinates? One of them is a student? What's the matter with the buttons on your collar? Can you let me see it? Do you have a battle plan? Can you tell me about it?"
"Is it your first day as an agent? Are you going to ask questions about such a trivial matter? We don't have time to say that much now. Follow me to the equipment warehouse. Let's get the weapons first!"
…
The scenes where he had spent time and chatted with Charles reappeared in his mind like a small theater. He might have thought it was nothing before, but now that he thought about it after discovering something strange, it seemed that there was some intriguing meaning hidden in it.
Charles was unfamiliar with everything about CNM, and sometimes he would explore trivial things in life like a child. At that time, he secretly criticized Charles more than once. He was really a weirdo who was out of touch with the times.
But……
He may really be out of touch with the times...
With heavy doubts and confusion, Daniel once again plucked up the courage and pulled out an old photo from his wallet.
At the same time, when he saw the two people in the photo, his whole body stiffened instantly and his blood flowed backwards.
In the yellowed photo, there are two men with arms around each other. One is Charles. He looks heroic and has an uninhibited smile. He is exactly the same as now. The other...
Turns out to be Daniel's father...
"No..." An unbelievable whisper came from deep in his throat.
It hit his heart as hard as the most severe blow, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at the background of this photo in surprise, and Daniel was once again surprised to find that this was the pizza shop he often visited with his father when he was a child!
After carefully examining the appearance of Charles in the photo, Daniel suddenly rushed back to his bedroom as if awakened, and grabbed the photo of his idol that he had saved for twenty years on the bedside table.
He compared the photo he took out of Charles's bag with the back photo of his idol. The result made him clench his heart again and break out in a cold sweat.
Recalling the scene last night when Charles and Jessica met in the restaurant, he faced the back of Charles wearing a black leather jacket and felt that it was extremely familiar. It kept lingering in his heart as if he had seen this back a long time ago.
I see!
The answer to the mystery seemed to emerge clearly in an instant, like parting through a thick fog.
Could it be that what Jessica said is true?
All this... is true...
Daniel was not allowed any extra time to buffer his shock. At this time, the sound of the door opening was heard downstairs.
Daniel knew that it was Charles who had come back, and he shouted in his heart that something was wrong.
He immediately ran back to Charles' room, stuffed his ID card and photo back into Charles' wallet, and locked it in a secret compartment.
Finally, he pretended to be nonchalant and walked downstairs.
