Chapter 224 [Strange Man]

Chen Xiaoliang grabbed the blade in his hand, weighed it, and the weight was not light.

“There seems to be a pattern on it.” Tire tracks next to each other.

“Well, I saw it. ”

Chen Xiaoliang put the blade in front of his eyes and looked straight at it. He saw it on the blade... under rust, covered with some strange patterns.

These patterns were obviously left behind during casting, on both sides of the blade.

Chen Xiaoliang immediately took out the blade handle of the stone sword to compare it to the blade.

The rust marks on the blade handle are more severe, but the blade and the blade handle are at the fracture and can fit just fine.

The two pieces are put together in the shape of a complete ancient western knight's sword.

Chen Xiaocai looked at the two things in his hand and put them together... but was somewhat disappointed.

Because when the two pieces were finally put together, there was no special change.

“I knew it wasn't that simple.” Chen Xiaocai sighed.

Tires glanced at him: “What's not so simple? ”

“For example... a sudden glow or an automatic fusion or something.” Chen Xiaolian laughed: “I thought putting the two things together would automatically restore them to a complete stone sword. ”

The tire smiled and didn't say anything.

……

“Found it? ”

“Soon! ”

Sasha sat in a dark room, her hands pounding quickly on the keyboard, and she couldn't help but scream: “I told you, I need better gear! Hacking into the police surveillance system is fine, but to search for portraits, I need better gear! Damn...”

At this point, Sasha suddenly shouted: "I found it! ”

On a computer screen in front of you, you see exactly the image of a probe on a street. Filtered by portrait screening.

On the probe, several people were seen getting off the street. Soon afterwards, in portrait screening mode, one of the girls was cut off.

“Found it! 96 percent compliance. Must be the target himself. ”

Sasha Fei quickly notified Thunderfox with a team system.

“Bonin Street, there she is. There are also... three men around. East side of the hole. ”

……

“Found them, they're on Bonin Street. The countess of the Norman family was with them. ”

Ray Fox glanced at Karkin.

Kalkin is staring at the distance.

The two of them stood at the top of a building, and Karkin stood at the edge of the roof, at the foot of the street, driving to and from each other.

“Are you sure?” Karl's golden head did not return, still holding this windy stance and looking away.

Thunderfox laughed: “Sure. Sasha complained again, however, that he had asked for better equipment. I think I can satisfy him, after all, his technology is very useful to us. ”

“Then satisfy him at the end of this copy. ”

Karkin turned around, touched a pack of cigarettes, smoked a light, and inhaled hard.

His divine colour seems a bit odd and his eyes are complicated: “Thunderfox. ”

“What?”

“Have you heard of Meteor Squad? ”

“...” Thunderfox stunned for a moment and laughed: “I've heard of it, it seems to be quite famous. Their captain, Akiyoshi, was heard to be a great character. ”

Carl Kimmermore smoked a cigarette and tossed it under his feet and stepped it out: “Autumn meteorite... hey, he does have some skills. ”

After a pause, Karkin slowed down: “The guys we met today, the ones next to the Countess of Norman, are Meteorite Squads. ”

“Oh?” Thunderfox's eyes shine: “Which one is Autumn Meteor? ”

“Autumn meteor? No, he's not here.” Karkin shook his head: “Autumn meteor... is dead, well, it's been almost a month. ”

“Dead?!” Thunderfox was somewhat surprised.

“Well, died in a copy.” Karkin whispered, “This time we met, after the fall meteorite died, the guy who inherited the Meteor Squad. Hey... an interesting kid, not bad. ”

“So what about Meteor Squad! Hmm... and that Autumn Meteor is dead.” Thunderfox picked the eyebrows: “Anyway, we must have the sacred object! ”

Karkin smiled: "Then get ready to go. Bonin Street, is it? The Meteor Squad guys are here too... so let's get them all cleaned up! ”

“... you have an affair with the Meteor Squad?” Ray Fox looked at Karkin unexpectedly.

“What?”

“If, in the normal course of life, you would definitely say, do the task first. As long as the task conditions of the copy are fulfilled, there is no need to cut the extraneous branches, unless necessary, and no other players in the game will die. But what did you just mean, trying to kill the Meteor Squad? ”

Karkin had a twitch in the corner of his eyes, and he looked at the thunderfox, jumped off the edge of the roof, walked to the thunderfox and patted him gently on the shoulder.

“You're wrong, I don't hate Meteor Squad. I just think... these guys right now, they don't deserve that name. ”

……

“We got something, so what do we do next?” Tires asked.

Chen Xiaocai thought about it: “I was surprised that the system didn't give a hint. I thought, with such an important item, maybe the system would give a hint. Or send a notification of some other mission. ”

He glanced not far away and stared at an oil painting measuring the fairy sounds.

Though the fairy tone turns its back on these people, it seems like they are looking at the oil painting, but Chen Xiaoliang is sure that this girl must be concentrating on listening with her gods up her ears.

But they speak Chinese for themselves and tire spares -- and the Countess obviously doesn't understand Chinese.

A fairy voice, a Miaoyan, the pronunciation of both names she still reads Besso.

“I think the next step is to deal with the guys who attacked us!” Chen Xiaolian was a brilliant man.

“Oh? I think I got something anyway...” Spare tire drooling: “Are you really going to protect this girl? ”

Chen Xiaocai looked at the spare tire and his eyes fell on his broken arm: “Protecting her and honoring her promise is one of my thoughts… However, I only decided to accept her terms for another reason. ”

Chen Xiaocai's fists clenched tightly, cold: “Spare a tire, you got cut off an arm by that guy! This can't just be over! So the main reason I agreed to this woman's terms is because... anyway, I've made up my mind that I won't let those people go! You can't break one of your arms for nothing! That guy has to pay!

And staying with this girl is the quickest way to find the man in black! ”

The look on the tire rolls: “Nice! You can't let that guy go! Dude, you can't break your arm for nothing. This can't just go away! ”

The spare tire whispered: “I... I'm a little worried. I'm afraid those guys aren't weak, and we're not all the same, not necessarily against each other. ”

“Anyway, try it. If you can't beat it, you have to fight first!” Chen Xiaoliang cold-blooded: “The last time was when they were careless, we lost money. The skill of the black man is the only way to play. But next time, we don't necessarily have the advantage! ”

Chen Xiaoliang glanced at the time.

Cooldown time from white, a few hours away.

My strongest kill moves are almost ready to be used.

……

Immortal sounds have gone to great lengths to eavesdrop, but the languages spoken by these guys in Neha don't really understand immortal sounds.

She's actually a very smart girl, and besides her native English, fairy sounds are fluent in French and Spanish. She's a bit of a linguistic genius, to say the least.

But... Chinese, she really hasn't been involved in hunting.

So she's been listening to it for a long time, and she's carefully remembered a few of the words that she guesses may be pronounced —— but it's too unlikely that this kind of attempt will yield valuable information.

But in this case, this is the only thing that Fairy Sound can do.

Finally, Xianyin waited for a while, and the guy named Chen Xiaocai walked towards himself.

“What do you think? Have you finished your discussions? ”

As he greeted Chen Xiaolian, Xianyin asked directly.

“Hmm.” Chen Xiaoliang's expression was serious: “Of course we will do what we promised you. So… the most important thing below is to help you solve the problems of those attackers. ”

“How? ”

“It's simple, find them and kill them.” Chen Xiaolian's eyes lit with cold and angry light.

Immortal sounds seem a little nervous: “Are you going to…"

“It's very simple, their goal is you, we don't have to do too much, just stay close to you, I'm sure they'll come to the door soon. ”

Chen Xiaolian looked at this huge vault: “I think this place is nice. We could just stay in this museum, and I think they'd come looking for us. ”

“Are you sure they'll find this place? They don't know...”

“I'm sure.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded: “Believe me, there is always a way, and there are many ways. ”

At this point, suddenly there was footsteps outside the vault.

When several people were in the vault, the doors were not closed.

And the passage outside the door, the floor was slatted, and one person came out of the elevator, and the leather shoes stepped on the floor, making a crackling sound.

The visitor is a man of long stature, tall and thin height.

The man was wearing a grey long trench coat with a vertical collar. Has brown hair with slightly longer hair.

Looking at him, the cuffs and elbows of the clothes looked somewhat obviously worn.

With a pair of glasses on his face, round lenses.

One face is very clean, and among white people, it's a rare kind of slightly more sophisticated face —— some of the aesthetic standards that favour the East.

This person is not young and may look around forty years old.

Overall, he looked like a teacher in a school, or a nerd doing some civilian work.

When the man walked over, he saw the fairy voice standing in the vault door. His face, which had originally been on the board, revealed a slight relaxed smile.

“Count, it turns out it was you. I saw the lock broken and thought it was some kind of burglar who came in. ”

The skinny man walked to the door and swept Chen Xiaocai and others.

“Ambler, you're back. ”

Immortal sounded slightly and laughed lightly: "I didn't bring the keys, but I rushed in again and had to break the lock. ”

“Okay, I'll get someone to fix the lock.” Ambler nodded.

“Gentlemen, this is Ambler, the manager of this museum, who works for me. Also a good art connoisseur.” Xianyin introduced Chen Xiaocai and others.

Chen Xiaoliang glanced at this ambler.

His temperament and costume, it doesn't look like a regular janitor, it does smell like a nerd or an artist.

Overall, however, there is an unspeakably quiet taste in the overall human personality.

Chen Xiaoli saw this Ambrose sleeve and seemed to leave a little trace of oil: “Are you a painter? ”

“No, just a painter, to be exact. ”

Ambler smiles peacefully, he has a pair of elongated eyes that belong to the very warm category.

Let's just say, a large part of his attributes happen to be the smell of a very popular middle-aged, handsome uncle.

The fairy voice looked at Ambler and slowly said, "Well, we're done here, so get up there. I'm not bored here, but I hate being in the basement too long. Ambler should have some nice coffee there, oh, maybe some tea from the East. ”

Ambler smiled lightly: "Yes, but Ceylon black tea, not Oriental green tea. ”

Chen Xiaocai and the tire spare tire exchanged their eyes and nodded.

“Ah, right.” The fairy voice suddenly said, “There's one other thing I almost forgot. ”

The girl looked at Chen Xiaoliang: "To thank you for everything you've done for me before and for everything you're about to do for me. I want to thank you very much. ”

“Hmm?” Chen Xiaoliang frowned.

“It's simple, you showed me that thing, and you let me play with it in my hand for a while.” Fairy Sound slows down: “This is what my family has always dreamed of. So, as a token of gratitude, I want to repay you. So... in return, three gentlemen, each of you can pick out one of your favorite things in this museum's storeroom... of course, just put it on a shelf, those things that can't be locked in a cabinet, those things are family treasures, and I don't have the right to give them away too hastily. ”

Chen Xiaoliang stunned.

Everybody pick one at random?

This pen is quite small.

Though perhaps those locked in cabinets are worth more.

But I'm afraid it's not cheap to put only those things on the shelf!

Other than that, it's the blue flower plate of the dry year, and it's definitely worth seven digits —— if it's an official kiln.

“You're not kidding, are you?” Chen Xiaoxiao looked at the girl.

“A nobleman is never too stingy for those who help him.” Fairy Shake Head: “Of course I'm not kidding. ”

“Those things aren't cheap.” Chen Xiaolian smiled.

“Then pick as you please. You should be interested in these porcelain from the East.” The fairy smiled at the three of them.

Chen Xiaocai frowned - he couldn't guess what this girl meant.

Perhaps it's pure gratitude. Perhaps something else?

However, Chen Xiaoliang thought about it...

Don't take it for nothing!

They are relics of their own country, and ghosts know how to reach these foreigners.

One for each person. What are you embarrassed about?

If it wasn't for the other party's fairy tone, Chen Xiaoliang would even like to end all the porcelain here!

Tires and spare tires are naturally less polite, and they feel free to have one piece of porcelain on the shelf.

The tire is the blue flower plate that Chen Xiaolian had seen before. And the spare tire had a pink bottle.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the model at the bottom: Kangxi year.

These things weren't all taken from the Yuanming Garden, were they?

Chen Xiaoliang didn't feel guilty at all.

He walked up to the shelf and looked around and was going to get an ear bottle. But suddenly his eyes turned and he fell on another thing.

It's that old umbrella.

Somehow, this vintage umbrella, which seemed to have nothing special, fell into Chen Xiaoliang's sight and suddenly became different.

And... Chen Xiaoliang even sensed a strange aura.

Dangerous?

No, it doesn't seem accurate.

It's like holding an extremely sharp knife that you've never touched.

You can feel how dangerous it is…

This feeling is so weird!!

But... this is just an old umbrella.

The black umbrella cloth, although not rotten, is less robust than it is, especially since the umbrella skeleton is already rusty.

The ghost made God poor, Chen Xiaoliang suddenly reached out and took this umbrella off.

“You said as long as it was on the shelf. Can I take this umbrella with me?” Chen Xiaoxiao looked at the fairy sounds.

The fairy voice seemed stunned, but she nodded slightly: “Sure... but are you sure you want it? Instead of picking a piece of porcelain from your country? ”

Chen Xiaoliang grabbed the umbrella directly in his hand and smiled softly: “No, I think I have quite an eye for it. ”

Tires and spare tires look at Chen Xiaolian with strange eyes.

In addition, that Ambler measured Chen Xiaolian with a slightly strange eye.

With precious porcelain artwork, you don't want an old umbrella?

“Well, let's go up. In my lounge, I just boiled hot water. I can make some black tea. ”

Ambler smiled lightly and turned to walk towards the elevator.

……

In the lounge on the left side of the first floor of the museum.

Ambler turned to get the teacup.

"Ambler, who worked for my father, knows some art appreciation, has been working in this museum since my father died, and he is arguably the curator and administrator here. When I was a kid, he taught me how to paint. ”

“The ones in your studio?” Chen Xiaoliang asked casually.

“Yes, unfortunately... then Ambler told me that I had no talent for painting. And I accepted his argument, so I shifted my time and energy to doing something else.” Xianyin nodded: “But Ambler's painting is very good. I don't know how to draw, but at least a few years later, I know something to appreciate. Unfortunately, he was conservative and refused to promote himself or socialize in the circle of painters. I even offered to help him run the exhibition at my expense, but he refused.

He seemed to have the greatest interest in staying in this little museum, guarding the artwork in the museum, and living a bland life. ”

Chen Xiaolei sighed and looked at Ambler's back. This skinny, middle-aged man was making tea, and Chen Xiaolei laughed: “There's nothing wrong with being a hermit. ”

Tires on one side suddenly said: "The hermit? You mean Tao Yuanming? ”

Chen Xiaolian smiled: “Do you know Tao Yuanming? ”

“Please, at least I went to high school.” Tires laughed.

Ambler suddenly turned around and glanced at Chen Xiaolei and smiled slightly: “Thank you for your compliments. To compare me to Tao Yuanming. I don't think I can compare to that great poet. ”

Chen Xiaoliang stunned, he looked at Ambler: “Do you... understand what we're saying? ”

The two sentences that Chen Xiaoliang had just spoken to Tire were in Chinese.

Ambler nodded: “Under the chamomile east fence, take a leisurely look at the South Mountains. Tao Yuanming's poems, I also know some —— ah, I do know some Chinese. ”

Leisurely see the South Mountain under the eastern hedge of Chai Ju.

This poem came out of Ambler's mouth. He can read the words full circle!!

It can be said that there is no weird emphasis on ordinary foreigners speaking Chinese.

Chen Xiaolian couldn't help but be somewhat surprised and surprised.

When Xianyin glanced at Ambler, he also seemed curious: “I never knew you knew Chinese. ”

Ambler smiled lightly, placing teacups in front of several people, then pouring them one at a time.

“You shouldn't forget, I'm Russian.” Ambler smiled: “Because in some special historical period, in my homeland, a lot of people understand Chinese. And in the countries of these guests, there are also a number of people who understand Russian - a result of a special historical period decades ago. ”

“But at your age, you must not have experienced that historical period.” Chen Xiaolian looked at Ambler.

Ambler did not answer the question, but put the teapot on the table.

Chen Xiaoliang noticed that Ambler really seemed to know some Eastern culture.

At least, he didn't drink black tea with milk and sugar, like the rest of Europe.

The teacup in front of you is black tea made in a very simple and eastern way.

“Have you been to our country?” Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Ambler.

Ambler nodded, thinking, “Yes, but a long time ago. ”

“I didn't even know you'd been there. I remember you staying in London, staying in this museum, never enjoying going away.” The fairy voice is curious.

“As I said, that was a long time ago, Count. ”

Chen Xiaoliang can feel that this Ambler is really a very special person.

What can I say?

He seemed unusual to everything.

For example, he saw that the door outside had been smashed, but he didn't call the police, but took the elevator directly to the basement to observe... he didn't even carry a weapon and went down so calmly to take a look - didn't he think that if he really was a robber, he himself, a weak man, went down to the basement to find his own death?

For example, the spare tire broke an arm, and the gauze was tied to the body and not removed - such a seriously injured person would rather run around alive, and if it were an ordinary person, this should be on the hospital bed.

If you were anybody, you wouldn't be able to bear to look at it more.

And Ambler... Chen Xiaoliang noticed that he looked at the spare tire except in the vault in the basement. And then he never looked at the spare tire -- as if the spare tire was a very ordinary person.

……
