On the day when my master formally introduced me to the organization, my two senior brothers came to pay their respects to the master.
The master, with his slightly overweight figure, stood tall and raised his hand to return the gesture.
"Welcome back, Comrade Cui Beihai," said a handsome young man with delicate features. His voice was pleasant to listen to, neutral and sunny,
enchanting. The other man was over six feet tall, silent and intimidating.
"Comrade Cui Beihai has returned and awaits the organization's deployment. Is there a new mission?"
The master asked excitedly, sparks of curiosity shining in his eyes after fifty years of idleness.
The two nodded, and I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but it sounded like they had mastered some more advanced technologies, things that couldn't be done before.
The atmosphere became solemn, and I admit I was a little scared. These two were dressed casually, but their demeanor was undoubtedly military. It was a kind of aura that ordinary people couldn't fake. Even the instructors in military training didn't have their daunting presence.
"Cui... Beihai? Didn't he sacrifice himself heroically in the outskirts of Luoyang City?" I murmured softly.
"Can't people have the same name and surname? I admire him very much," the master laughed, "Have a seat, call me Cui Jianguo. Actually, after so many years, people have been calling me Cui Jianguo. Let me introduce these two: Zhao Ming, Meng Yuzhi."
The master pointed at me and said, "This little slippery one, Li Yu, slippery as a fish."
The two sat down, and the handsome young man named Meng Yuzhi smiled and nodded at me, his eyes gentle. I, as a man, admit that I instantly fell in love with him. As for the sturdy man Zhao Ming, he remained silent, with a straight back and hands resting on his knees.
"Master, if what you said is true, then it seems you haven't been expelled at all..." I pondered for a moment and decided it would be better to go along with the master's setup, or else I wouldn't be able to handle this sturdy man.
"Senior Beihai has a new mission. He voluntarily left the team and waited patiently for a new opportunity. If you call me master, I can be considered your senior brother Meng Yuzhi, who was discovered by Senior Beihai when I was still inexperienced."
I actually had many questions for the master, assuming that the organization was a powerful force that had continued since the Tang Dynasty:
Why wasn't the An Lushan Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty stopped?
Why didn't they intervene in the disastrous Battle of Yashan in the late Song Dynasty, where the Central Plains were almost completely wiped out?
Not to mention the brutal slaughter suffered by the people of the Ming Dynasty when the Qing Dynasty invaded...
Not to mention the territorial concessions and indemnities of the Qing Dynasty...
If they existed and were powerful since the Tang Dynasty, how could they bear to witness the suffering of innocent lives?
Cui Beihai had made efforts in the 14th year of the Tang Dynasty's Tianbao reign, but he failed. At least he took action.
I asked my senior brother these questions with fervor, and he smiled and shook his head. He said, "You'll know after you go on a few missions. We're just ordinary people, mere mortals with flesh and blood."
Our first mission was in Country T. After several mysterious shipwrecks and sinking incidents, Country T sent out a distress call. The organization informed us: a team of three, including you, will be dispatched to investigate the incidents in Country T.
