War Photographer's Notebook

Let the Katenka sisters decide on this matter. After Wei Ran finished speaking, he turned around and opened the security door, and walked down immediately.

If they have no opinion, you have no opinion?Old Ivan asked confidently with a cigar in his mouth.

As long as you don't use any excuses to threaten or confuse them

Wei Ran said without looking back, of course he doesn't mind letting the Katenka sisters be in charge of the Hela organization, but only if the twin girls are voluntary.

Or to put it another way, if old Ivan wants to use the Hella organization to mix sand around him, he doesn't even mind returning Sister Katenka to Mr. Nicholas.

I'm not as bad as you think

Old Ivan snorted disdainfully, you can stay here tonight, and call the girls to the attic after dinner.

Hao Weiran nodded in response, and then pushed open the anti-theft door leading to the lobby on the first floor.

Don't you have anything to ask?Old Ivan, who was still mostly in the stairwell, couldn't help asking.

How are you doing here?Wei Ran turned around and looked at him with a smile.

Hearing this, old Ivan was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of a smile on his no longer young face, thank you for your concern, I have a good life here, at least it is more lively than the Agni Field Rescue Station.

Drink less wine, Wei Ran turned around, and continued to walk towards the door of the tavern.

I was almost moved by you. Old Ivan grinned loudly, and left the tavern with Wei Ran and got into the transport truck not far away.

Boringly waiting for Sui Sui and old Ivan to check the accounts one by one, the polar town of Tula was also shrouded in the setting sun. With the colorful light strips on the outer wall of the Aurora Tavern lit up, the driver who was driving before The tourists who left by off-road vehicles also drove back to the Aurora Tavern one after another under the organization of Su Lie and the three drivers and guides.

Not only these tourists from thousands of miles away, but also the residents of the small town, the coal miners, and even the drivers who run the transportation on the Nizhny Tunguska River, also made this tavern, which is almost 200 meters away from the river in a straight line, more and more lively.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, no matter the residents of the small town or the drivers who took a short break, they all expressed enough enthusiasm for the first-time tourists.

Even a truck driver who claimed to be from a gathering area downstream offered to buy these tourists a drink.

How can these people burp—!Why are you so enthusiastic?Sui Suo asked in a daze while holding a glass of whiskey with ice cubes.

Of course they are enthusiastic
Sitting at the table with them, the driver Baolia explained while pouring wine for Wei Ran and others, according to previous experience, if we can take these tourists to their gathering area to stop for supplies, even if those tourists are not going to They stay overnight in the gathering area and also buy a lot of souvenirs. Those little things are worth more than a glass of wine.

Having said that, Paulia also picked up the glass, and old Ivan's wine is not expensive, even if he invites all the tourists to have a drink, it will not cost much.

After gulping down the wine in the glass, Baolia lowered her voice slightly and continued, now every gathering area along the way from Tula Town to Tuluhanks knows that as long as those with the fire painting When trucks appear, tourists are coming.So as long as there are no traffic accidents, even the police will be extra tolerant towards those big trucks.

...

An Feiya, who was only twenty people at the same table, couldn't help but say.

A month ago, a Chinese tourist bought a small box of slides left over from the Soviet era and an old slide projector.

Paulia spread his hands, and I don't know what he bought those junks for, but both parties in the transaction insisted that they had made a profit, and such incomprehensible transactions would happen almost every now and then.

All the people who come here to drive by themselves are rich people, rich people with strange x-cravings.Before Sui Sui finished speaking, she leaned on Wei Ran with a drunken face, obviously drunk.

People are addicted to vegetables.
Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, took the glass that Sui Sui was still holding, and poured the remaining half glass of whiskey into his mouth.

forgot to say

Baolia pointed to Sui Sui who was leaning against Wei Ran's arms, and said in a low voice, although no one knew that she was Aurora, but everyone knew that it was a good girl named Aurora who brought her here. of those wealthy tourists.

So if old Ivan or I point out that she is Aurora, I guarantee that every local who drinks here will take the initiative to toast her.

you better help us keep this a secret
Wei Ran quickly reminded the other party, and asked Sui Sui, who could barely open his eyes, "Baulia, what time will you start driving tomorrow?"

I do not know either

Paulia spread hands, according to the past rules, those tourists will decide when to start and when to stop, we just need to ensure that they do not go wrong and there is no danger.

In this case, let us know when you decide to go.

While speaking, Wei Ran had already supported Sui Sui who was about to fall asleep to stand up, you drink first, and I will send her into the room first.

See you tomorrow, Victor.Baolia raised the glass to signal, and then drank the wine in the glass.

After he put down the cup, the Katenka sisters also got up and left the table one after another. Following Wei Ran and Suisui, they led the old Ivan through the anti-theft door leading to the upstairs, all the way to the third floor.

The four rooms here are yours, you can assign them as you like.Old Ivan lowered his voice after finishing speaking, and the stairwell assembled at half past nine.

Hearing this, Wei Ran and Kajianka sisters looked at each other, and then nodded in a subtle manner.

Watching old Ivan turn around and go downstairs, sisters Katenka got into the same room at the same time, and then locked the door behind them with a click.

Looking down at the girl in his arms, Wei Ran reached out and pushed away another adjacent room.

Helping Sui Sui to lay on the bed and cover the quilt overly skillfully, Wei Ran dimmed the bedside lamp and sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and waited quietly for a while, until the sound of even breathing came from the bed. He got up quietly and left the room, locking the door.

Almost at the same time, the door of the room next door also opened, and sister Katenka, who had already changed into a set of clothes, also walked out of the room, followed Wei Ran into the quiet stairwell, and joined the old man who had been waiting here for a long time. ivan.

However, old Ivan didn't take them upstairs, but walked all the way down, and then went through another anti-theft door on the first floor and directly entered the parking lot.

...

Get in the car, we don't have much time.Before the old Ivan finished speaking, he had already opened the door of a van.

Without any hesitation at all, Wei Ran was the first to bend down and get into the cold car.

By the time the Katenka sisters also got in, old Ivan had already started the car, and then left the parking lot without turning on the lights, and drove to the edge of the frozen river outside the small town of Tula.

Stop wherever you feel fit for the conversation.The old Ivan who was in charge of driving gave some instructions, and casually put all his thoughts on driving.

Go to the other side, Wei Ran said casually.

Hearing this, old Ivan drove the car down the river without any hesitation and then drove up the opposite slope covered with slag.

Right here, sisters Katenka said in unison when the car passed by a wood yard.

Hearing this, old Ivan stepped on the brakes immediately, and when the car stopped, he said without looking back, then get off here, Victor, I will give you 10 minutes to explain clearly to them and do the next thing. Decide.

Looking at sisters Katenka, Wei Ran opened the car door and was the first to jump off.

When the three of them got out of the car, old Ivan immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the direction of travel was backed up by five or sixty meters. At the same time, the three of Wei Ran also walked forward for a distance of more than ten meters.

Boss, what are you going to say?Anfisa

asked the first one.

Do you want to live the life before or the life now?Wei Ran stopped in his tracks and asked.

Boss has something to say, it's better to say it
An Feiya walked to the side of the road, casually found a horizontal log and sat down, half joking and half seriously looked at Wei Ran and asked, are you unable to pay wages?
Salary is still available

Wei Ran simply sat on the log as well, and waited until Anfeisa sat down next to her sister. After some consideration, he briefly recounted the things about the Hela organization.

In short, the Hella organization now needs a long-term leader behind the scenes.

Wei Ran finally concluded, if you like your current life, you can continue to be Aurora's assistants, if you..."

Are you really willing to hand over the Hella organization to us?Without waiting for Wei Ran to finish speaking, the Katenka sisters asked in unison.

Wei Ran couldn't help being stunned. Although the only light source in the night was the occasional lights of trucks on the river, he still saw a trace of excitement in the eyes of the two sisters, as well as a breath of relief. expression.

What is your expression?Wei Ran simply asked directly.

Are you really willing to hand over Hella to our management?Anfeiya asked again.If you will.
Of course I would like Anfisa to tacitly give her sister a high-five while speaking.

You guys seem excited?Wei Ran didn't know why and asked.

My mother said that people who can reflect their own value can live longer.But only by gaining enough trust can we exchange for the opportunity to reflect value.When Anfisa said this, she looked straight at Wei Ran calmly.

In contrast, Anfeya is more straightforward. Compared with protecting Sister Aurora, being in charge of the Hella organization will allow us to exert greater value, and it will also make you less likely to betray us.Correspondingly, we will trust you even more.So you actually don't like your current life, prefer
...

Just the opposite
Anfisa explained without waiting for Wei Ran to finish speaking, you and Sister Aurora are good bosses, and we like our current life very much.

There are also various Chinese delicacies and jewelry given to us by Aurora. Of course, there are also Lola, Korava, Maya, including that bastard Ji Scum. They are all good friends. Except for the one named Matthew's little curly hair has few real friends.

While Anfeiya was speaking, she pulled out a longevity lock from her neck and shook it. While the silver longevity lock, which was slightly larger than the cap of the mineral water bottle, was shaking, it was also unknowingly related to the girl's wrist. When did the extra jadeite gongs collide with each other, making a crisp and pleasant knocking sound.

So the more this is the case, the more we worry about losing such a life.

Anfisa looked at Wei Ran, and explained earnestly and frankly that my sister and I are not irreplaceable as Aurora's assistants, but if you are willing to let us lead Hela, then we and Hela are bound together of.

Hela will be irreplaceable and will not be easily abandoned, so we will also become irreplaceable and will not be easily abandoned.Anfeiya added seriously.

Hearing this, Wei Ran sighed secretly, to put it bluntly, the two sisters are very similar to the three girls on the second floor of the Aurora Tavern who are working hard to learn Japanese for a new life.

Worried that the child he gave birth would ruin his new life, he willingly ran the safehouse for the Hela organization.

A person who is worried that the new life he is already enjoying will suddenly leave him and go back to the days when he spent his good youth sticking to the bookstore or the pasta restaurant, and then he is willing to be bound to the Hela organization, just to reflect his own value. Enjoy your present life with peace of mind.

Is it slavish?Or brainwashing?Not really, it's just that no one is stupid, and they all happen to be non-Polish.

Among other things, as far as the Katenka sisters are concerned, after leaving him, Wei Ran and Aurora, can't they really start a new life on their own?

life?

Yes, of course they can, and it's not even difficult to predict. With the means of these two sisters, it's easy for them to live a wealthy life.

But the shadows rooted in childhood and the still terrifying reality made this pair of smart girls very clear that it was impossible for them to obtain freedom in the true sense.

Without Wei Ran, who is an absolutely useful backer at present, neither of the two sisters can guarantee, and no one can guarantee the two sisters that one day in the future, no one will be like Wei Ran back then. Knocking on the door of Shudong Bookstore in a sign, handing over a token that can scare people to death, and making them work hard to do things they don't want to do with a deadpan face, and even ruin the happy life they worked so hard to create.

After all, compared to Kajianka, where one was in the light and the other was in the dark.Once today's Katenkas are chosen as victims, there is no possibility of even one of them surviving.

So compared to the worry that would wake them up time and time again in the middle of the night, finding a good and reliable boss to hang around and wait for death is obviously much more practical.

Especially when the boss entrusted the boss's wife's safety and an extremely important project to them, and even took them to meet all their relatives and friends without warning.

...

The Katenka sisters knew that before Suisui suffered irreversible damage, before the Hela project completely collapsed and became the Kumbu organization, they didn't have to worry about being fired by the boss or becoming a victim of a conspiracy.

Of course, correspondingly, after the Katenka sisters took over the Hela organization, Wei Ran must also help them block any threats from those red ghosts.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Wei Ran stood up and said seriously, since this is the case, the Hella Organization will be in charge of you.

Hela will be a qualified tool, and the Katenka sisters made a promise in unison.

You will also get the life you want. Wei Ran also gave his promise.

Boss, last time you said you needed to use Hella when you were free of electricity?Anfeiya took the initiative to change the subject.

it is possible to use

After pondering for a moment, Wei Ran said, the specific situation will be discussed after we leave the small town of Tula.Let’s talk about the Hela organization first, what do you think?
light and dark
Anfeya was the first to respond, that on the bright side, Hela is headed by our good friend Monica, but this side of Hela will be a cyber violence organization with a mixed population that can grow infinitely.

Hela, who does not see the light, will use Hela on the bright side to achieve the purpose of not seeing the light.Anfisa added succinctly.

Like you two sisters?Wei Ran asked with great interest.

When necessary, one of the Hellas can be sacrificed to save the other Hela Anfisa added again.

Hella is an organization that controls public opinion"

Wei Ran turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone while speaking, and continued to say while shaking the van in the distance, we don't need the Hela organization to become a killer organization, and we don't need them to rely on the price such as selling their body hue In exchange for anything, there is no need for them to be imprisoned in this icy and snowy town forever.

Having said that, Wei Ran has turned off the flashlight function, and continued amidst the approaching roar of the engine, but I need them to manipulate the direction of public opinion on the Internet in a timely manner when necessary.

Even in the future, I very much hope to see those girls and children, representing all walks of life, help us speak out and help us manipulate public opinion.

It seems that this is a long-term goal. The Katenka sisters said in unison, and then showed a relaxed smile full of anticipation in unison.

At this moment, old Ivan also stepped on the brake beside the three of them. Little guys, have you discussed it?

After discussing it, Wei Ran nodded, and was the first to open the car door and get into the car filled with the strong smell of smoke.

In the future, we will take over and Sister Haila Katenka will follow.
While getting into the carriage, they also expressed their attitudes in unison.

then go back

Old Ivan didn't wait for the three of them to sit still, he stepped on the accelerator, steered the van back quickly, and then drove down the river channel along the slope paved with slag, and then drove straight up the opposite river channel, and finally stopped at the Aurora Tavern again The rear doorway in the shade at the back.

Led by the old guy, a group of three stepped on the stairs and went straight to the attic on the top floor of the building.

...

After passing through a locked anti-theft door, Old Ivan waited for Wei Ran and the three of them to enter the dark attic and closed the door before reaching out and turning on the power of the lighting.

As the long strip of lights on the ridge above their heads turned on one after another, the first thing the three of them saw was the large mirrors tightly installed on the sloping roof above their heads.

After these huge mirrors reflected the long line of lights in the gap between the highest points in the middle, not only made this attic with a size of four to five hundred square meters extraordinarily bright, but also made the overhead look strange.

Withdrawing Gao Yang's gaze and looking around, the attic is extremely warm and beautifully furnished.

It is full of various racks, enough for 30 people to sit down, and it is estimated that there are rich long tables, large fish tanks against the wall, and various beautiful ornamental fish in the fish tanks.

There are even pool tables, table tennis tables, and a not-so-big boxing ring in this spacious space. There are several sandbags hanging in the air around the boxing ring.

On both sides of the door against the wall, there is a row of gun cabinets with wire mesh doors. Through the wire mesh, you can clearly see the various lengths of guns neatly placed in the gun cabinet and the plastic daggers used for training.

But in addition to these, at the very end facing the entrance, on the highest point of the triangular wall perpendicular to the floor, there was a HeLa Organization logo the size of a truck tire, half beautiful and half demon.Directly below the sign is a security door of the same color as the wall.

Come with me Old Ivan said as he walked towards the anti-theft door under the Hela logo.

This place is almost like a tree hole. Anfisa couldn't help sighing softly.It's really like An Feiya's nod of approval, but it's not as big as here, it's a pity that it's all burned down there

Yes, Anfisa sighed. At that time, we also had a fish tank with many blue-ringed octopuses and cone snails in it.

This is the place to teach girls and kids some simple self-preservation skills
Old Ivan introduced with a smile that they spend a special day here every week, and it has the same standard of firearms courses and assessment requirements as the Suvorov Junior Military Academy.

Objectively speaking, those girls and those children still like this place very much, and occasionally someone who is in a bad mood will come here to vent.

Before he finished speaking, old Ivan had already walked right under the Hella logo, took out an extra string from his pocket and opened the anti-theft door, motioned the three of them to go in and said, this tavern originally had two staircases, One is for customers and the other is for employees.

We sealed off this staircase during the last renovation.Of course, those girls were not allowed to come here, and this stairwell was the only place they were not allowed to enter.

While talking, the old Ivan has already opened the locked metal fire door in the stairwell, and at the same time pointed to the surveillance cameras fixed on the wall and introduced, I made an agreement with those girls when we first met No, once they get here, they will be sent back to that orphanage in Africa.

Seeing that Wei Ran and Katenka sisters were silent, old Ivan didn't care. He led them all the way down to the first floor, and then opened a locked heavy anti-theft door again.

...

Down from here is the basement of the tavern.

Old Ivan took two quick steps, pointed to the buzzing machine in the basement and said, last time you came here, the server that Anfeya helped debug was here, and of course, there are the most important things.

While talking, old Ivan walked to the far end of the basement, opened an ordinary-looking safe, and took out a CD package from it.

For Wei Ran, each disc contains the memories that the young mother and son upstairs do not want to recall the most, and it is enough to force them to die.

Originally, I wanted to give these things to you when I went to Volgograd to celebrate the festival together, but you were busy with other things at the time, and it was obvious that you didn't seem to have time to talk about Hella, so I brought them back.Victor, I hope you never need to use these discs.

After taking the CD package, which was only the size of a barrel of instant noodles, Wei Ran held it in his hand.

Seeing this, old Ivan took out a USB flash drive from the safe and handed it to Anfisa. This is the detailed information of each Hela member. I will contact you for all important arrangements about them in the future, and you will do it make a decision,

After finishing speaking, old Ivan didn't even lock the safe lazily, and led the three of them back to the third floor in the same way in silence.

So that's the end of it?In the stairwell on the third floor, Wei Ran asked in a low voice.Instead, it's just the beginning

Old Ivan changed into German and said in a low voice, it will be a long process to take over this unpolished tool. These girls don't know who funded Hella, let alone the Mo who leads them on the Internet. Who the hell is Nika's friend.

But when they finally leave here, it will be up to the Katenkas to decide where they go, and the two of them will be responsible for establishing a single-line connection.Well, that's it for the Midnight Channel, good night, little ones.

After finishing speaking, old Ivan turned around and walked towards the first floor.The Katenka sisters looked at each other, said good night to Wei Ran, and got into the room where the two sisters lived together.

Just me outsider?
Wei Ran muttered to himself, walked into his and Sui Sui's room silently, hid in the bathroom, took out the food box, and put the package of CDs that could destroy those girls into it.
