old light morning light

But since this old dog could predict that I would ask the major to bring me here, he had obviously already calculated it.

The reason is simple, it lies in Hanklow's attitude towards me.

"You've introduced me to others in advance, and you're still worried that I won't be able to tell?"

As long as I think about it for a moment, I will know that Hanklo's character cannot be concealed from me, and in Kalinin's eyes, I am an extremely smart person, although in fact it is also true...ahem!
Being able to deduce things and find abnormalities, I finally connected all the details and discovered that the person who instigated it in the end was this old dog.

"Hey, there's really nothing we can do about it. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have said hello to him in advance."

The key to the problem is Major Hanklow. He who got my information in advance would not be able to show off. If he didn't know me well, there is no doubt that I would try some wonderful special tactics with a high probability.

"Of course, but aren't you afraid that I will disappear into this world for no reason?"

"Or if something unexpected happens and you lose a right-hand man or something, you wouldn't want to see such a tragic scene, right, sir?"

Okay, I didn't control it well, and my eyes may look a bit provocative, but as a young man, it's understandable to speak a little arrogantly, right?
"Good boy, good boy..."

"Stop being a good boy or a bad boy, tell me first what happened to that dead boy?"

"Don't think that since you and I know each other very well, we can just pry into these things?"

Surely not?
This old dog was shaking his head, and I couldn't tell for a moment whether he wanted to exchange information with me, or whether he was really simply warning me not to pry around.

But since it’s not clear yet, let’s take everything in the worst possible light and treat it as a warning to me not to pry around.

"Oh, I see."

Raised an eyebrow?

It seems that the original intention is not to warn me not to inquire randomly, but it is to show off. What benefits do you need from me before you are willing to share it with me?

"I even provided you with that kind of information, and yet you still treat me as an outsider."

But it is somewhat disappointing to think that I worked so hard to secretly photograph something extraordinary and have already passed it on to Kalinin and he is still dissatisfied with it.

"Did you go and find that?"

"Or is it just you who got lucky and bumped into me?"

"Or are you telling me that it's just because you can't handle it?"

"And, just out of fear like me seeking rescue?"

Damn it, am I going to be manipulated by this old dog with this playful smile?

But when he said this, I couldn’t refute it at all, because it seemed to be true!

But if I want to talk about other information, Xiluen once provided me with a piece of information about Wang Zhihan's brother, but for various reasons I was not able to get it.

Otherwise, exchange it with him now?
No, no, Shiluen and Kalinin have obviously known each other for a long time, and naturally they don't need to rely on me to deliver this news. Since Kalinin was not told from the beginning, there is obviously a reason that I don't understand.

Or if it doesn't work, you can only investigate the token you just dug out of that person by yourself.

The eye-catching piece of jade must be some kind of token.

In this case, let's forget it, but speaking of the news that he doesn't know, I can tell him that I have traded the dormitory in Area C arranged for me to Le Manni.

Anyway, it was arranged by him. It would be considered respectful to tell him now. At least don't wait until one day he asks me in turn. It would be rude.

"Speaking of which, I think I have some news for you."

"Oh?"

Kalinin took me to a courtyard. Although the building with the courtyard was abandoned, the aura of wealth could not be hidden under the dust and grass.

"I traded the dormitory in Area C to Le Manni, the Grand Duke's sister."

Kalinin paused for a moment, but continued to walk towards the interior of the mansion, even though the size of this "mansion" was actually not that big.

mei-o
Meocatoria was once a very famous musical instrument brand in the empire. For a period of time, the pianos it produced were only supplied to the imperial royal family as court rituals.

At this moment, the very interested Kalinin was stroking the cover of the piano in the hall with his back to me, brushing away the dust on the gold "mei-o" trademark.

"What a work of art."

He didn't take my words, but his obvious pause just now showed that he had completely heard my conversation.

It’s just that maybe I’m thinking that it doesn’t matter.

It is indeed a very good piano. I didn't expect that this seemingly deserted street would still have such a "priceless" piano placed here.

It seems to be quite a distance from the campus, but why is it abandoned?
Is there any connection with the old school building?

There is such a valuable thing here, and it can still accumulate such a thick layer of dust without any harm.

Can it still play loudly?

"Den!"

Well, actually, it can really play...

It's just that the timbre doesn't sound so bright due to years of disrepair. As for whether it's accurate, I won't be able to tell for a long time.

"You're not going to tell me that your kid can also play the piano, right?"

Of course not, although the mothers in the correctional institution did offer such courses when I was a child, I just memorized those annoying musical scores and then played them out in order.

If I really want to know how to play, I can still play these two songs, but as for the technique and art, it has nothing to do with me. "No, but not entirely."

Since you are looking at me like this, how about I show off to you?
I don’t know if I can still remember those scores after all this time...

Then just play the most skillful requiem for him. After all, it was what I used to hand in my homework every day in the reformatory.

"Requiem~"

"Oh, actually, it's not bad..."

If you don’t comment, no one will think you are dumb.

"I didn't expect you to have this skill. It sounds pretty passable, but why don't you have any sense of beauty when you play the piano?"

As I said, I can only memorize the music scores rigidly, and then press them out in order. It is just because I have been a little flexible in thinking since I was a child, and the coordination between my left and right hands is not so stiff.

As for the so-called beauty?

If it weren't for the accumulation of proficiency, let alone the beauty, you would have to withdraw even the passable evaluation.

"Haha, I haven't played for a long time, and I haven't learned anything at all."

But of course it’s impossible for me to tell him that I don’t know how to do it, and of course he won’t believe it, so I’ll just make up some excuse to get through it.

As for playing the piano just now, it can be regarded as my whim.

"Okay, okay, tell me what else do you have that you can hide?"

"make money."

"Hahahaha, I sold my dormitory even after a few trips back. You told me you would make money..."

As if he heard a funny joke, Kalinin walked up to me and sat down side by side with me, smiling.

"Squeak..."

The old and decaying piano bench makes some not-so-pleasant noises, so we can only hope that Mayo's quality is exceptionally good.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

"I have to trouble you and I to go to Mirror Stage VII. There is news about the search for those batches of army power armors."

Here we go, this guy's intentions are finally exposed.

"Ah, don't look at me like that. You look at me, I look so glamorous on the surface, but who would have thought that I don't have anyone who can give orders to me?"

"Hmph, you better be."

"Hey, come on!"

A pulling force came from beside me. I didn't expect that this guy would suddenly reach out and pull me, and I almost fell to the ground accidentally.

"What are you doing? Oops!"

"You may not believe it, but my current situation is actually very bad."

He looked like he was a thief with a guilty conscience. He was about to make a few more jokes, but the look in this guy's eyes... didn't seem like he was joking.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that since the last attack on the academy, many intelligence officials have been dealt with."

"Although I had made arrangements before to leave my previous position, I was still somewhat implicated."

Arrangements were made before. Could it be that this guy was moved out of his position of power and was arranged by himself?
"I can't confirm many things, but you are the only one who can help me now."

If this is essentially a factional fight within the Navy, and some ambitious people are involved, Kalinin, who consciously avoids it, cannot look left and right at the same time, so he can only choose the next best thing.

"It's not that I'm the only one who can help you, but for a while you won't find anyone else you can trust..."

"Shh...!"

A cold finger gently pressed on my lips, indicating that I didn't need to say anything more.

But in fact, my mouth moved faster than my brain just now. He should need a "clean" person more than what he can believe.

There is no motive and no conflict of interest. You must know that so-called trust is not eternal. Even if you have to be in the same camp because of certain positions at the moment, your so-called trusted teammates may become opponents the moment their positions change.

And I don't need to think about this problem, which is the most important thing.

"help me!"

His eyes were sincere, as if the trip to the mirror was inevitable.

Maybe he didn't lie to me and went to the stage following the previously publicly submitted investigation materials, but he must have had another reason to go.

I understand this old dog fairly well and won't lie to me, but what he says is not entirely true.

Forget it, since he is like this, helping him is also helping myself.

"Row."

"but……"

There is nothing I can do, you personally told me to study hard!

"I have to wait until my class is over this week..."
