Stern King pressed down the bulletproof window of the "Beast", rolled up the McDonald's paper bag in his hand and threw it casually towards the street. Then he sucked his greasy middle finger and thumb, and was about to put it on his clothes.

After wiping it twice, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and wiped it on Benimaru Saionji who was sitting in the next seat.

Saionji Benimaru smiled and watched Stern King wipe a light brown oil stain on his white coat, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, Consul, it seems that you have lost..."

"No, haven't you seen that my men are still working hard? Believe me, they can't fly..." Stern King licked his lips, his expression seemed to be looking back at the burger just now, with a look of confusion on his face.

The meaning is still not finished.

Saionji Benimaru glanced at the white four-story building not far away, shook his head and said: "They have already left. If they had not left yet, they would have activated the carrier to make the final struggle, but you see, here now

Still very calm..."

"Perhaps they were hit by our stun guns and fainted before they had time to activate the carrier." Stern King spread his hands and said.

Saionji Benimaru chuckled, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Where are you going?" Stern King asked in confusion.

"I'm going to see why they stayed at the warehouse selling used books for so long." Saionji Benimaru said without looking back.

"Wouldn't it be better to just ask them later?" Stern King said loudly and nonchalantly.

At this time, the assistant sitting in front of the beast turned around and said: "Consul, the Chosen Ones from Iris and the Chosen Ones from Tai Chi Dragon are here. The peripheral action team asked what to do, whether to stop them or not..."

Stern King subconsciously raised his wrist to open the three-dimensional map on Ouroboros, but when he lowered his head, he saw only an empty wrist. He cursed in a low voice: "Hell!" and then picked up the walkie-talkie at hand.

, "Shan Ying, have you caught anyone?"

After a while, the intercom first came with the sound of noisy electricity, and then a deep voice: "The target person has not been found so far, and the search is ongoing."

"The building is only this big. It's just two chosen ones without activated carriers. Are you all trash?" Stern King said angrily.

"We found blood stains in an office on the third floor. The target should have been shot, but no one could be found... We suspect that the target used an unconventional escape method."

"I'll give you three more minutes. If you can't find it, retreat." He raised his head and stared at the third floor. After a while, he picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "When you retreat, remember to take away the blood stains."

Xie Minyun was carrying Cheng Mo while walking in the sewers of the 14th arrondissement of Paris. On a sunny day in winter, there was only a shallow pool of water in the pipes that looked like bullet cross sections. The sewers were quite large and could accommodate a small truck.

, in addition to the endless energy-saving lamps above their heads, there are also densely packed pipelines, some thick and some thin coated with black insulating asphalt, which gives a very apocalyptic feel.

In the quiet pipeline at this moment, the sound of Xie Minyun's footsteps running on the water was particularly clear, like a fairy walking on the lake using Lingbo Microsteps.

"Do you need me to activate the carrier to attract their attention?" Cheng Mo whispered uneasily.

"No need for the moment. I have isolated the heat. At least I won't be discovered for the time being. As long as I can run out of the encirclement and wait until my teleportation is completed, I will basically be safe."

As he spoke, Xie Minyun increased his speed again. Cheng Mo, who was holding Xie Minyun's neck, felt an obvious bump. For a while, neither of them spoke, as if they were experiencing this rare tense atmosphere.

Cheng Mo lay on Xie Minyun's back, feeling her temperature and the scent of mint in her hair. His heartbeat, which had been slightly rapid just now, gradually calmed down. He closed his eyes gently and seemed to recall a distant memory.

, that memory is so dense, like soaking in

The black-and-white photo in the developer, he rested his head on his mother's lap, with the lazy ceiling fan spinning above his head. The chirping of cicadas outside gave the hustle and bustle of the city a taste of the countryside. His mother was flipping through the book, and the aroma of ink and

The friction of sparse paper urged him to sleep...

Fatigue is overwhelming, like a summer heat wave.

There was no news of tracking them for a long time. Xie Minyun felt relieved and asked in a low voice: "How did you know there was something wrong with those police officers just now? Why didn't I see it?"

Cheng Mo squinted on Xie Minyun's back for a while, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep and had a long dream. Hearing Xie Minyun's voice, Cheng Mo opened his eyes. Although his whole body was still filled with a feeling of weakness, he was in good spirits.

After hearing a lot, he replied softly: "First of all, their English is so good that it aroused my vigilance. Secondly, their abnormal behavior..."

"What's wrong?" Xie Minyun asked in confusion.

"The French police were afraid to avoid Asians when they encountered black people robbing or stealing on the street. They came so quickly and did not say anything. Seeing that we were Chinese and did not suffer any economic losses, they actually did not let the two black people go on the spot, but

We want to handcuff them and take them back to the police station...this is France...how could something like this happen!"

"I admit that there are problems with public security in France, and the police do have a certain responsibility, but they will not see such a blatant cover-up of criminal acts..."

Cheng Mo shook his head slightly and said: "You still know too little about the grassroots. If it is the French police, if they don't arrest these black people, it is not to protect them, but to reduce the waste of police resources."

"How to say?"

"After 15 years, the French police will be unable to take care of the daily life of ordinary people due to the heavy pressure of anti-terrorism and yellow shirts, let alone us tourists. Therefore, the security of France will deteriorate rapidly. What's more, French prisons are already overcrowded, and robberies like this

If the attempt fails, even if the evidence is solid, the prosecutor will most likely release him. But just now

Not to mention there is no surveillance at all, and none of us were robbed. Where is the evidence to prove that the other party was robbed? If the other party is bored, they may hurt us if they beat us... Therefore, it is impossible for experienced French police to take the initiative to ask for money.

If those two black men were handcuffed, they would persuade us to forget it and there was no need to waste time..."

Xie Minyun bit her lip and said softly: "It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

"It doesn't matter whether you learn these things or not. Their target is me, not you. Even if we were fooled just now and follow them, you will be fine. Your identity is the greatest guarantee, even if you are an American.

I don’t dare to touch you, I will let you go as soon as possible.”

"Did Stern King do it?"

"Except for him, no one has the strength and the need to go to great lengths to catch me."

At this time, Xie Minyun's Tai Chi Dragon badge began to tremble, and she whispered: "We are safe."

—————————————————————————————

When Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo returned to the Calvados Apartment on Bodennis Avenue without any danger, the security of the building was once again strengthened. Usually there was only one red dot representing the chosen one flashing here, but now it has become three.

indivual.

The bulletproof commercial vehicle drove into the basement. Xie Minyun got out of the car first. Jiang Jun, who usually had a cold expression, stood next to him with a look of shame on his face. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Miss...I'm sorry, my

Not vigilant enough..."

Xie Minyun turned around and bent down to take the sleeping Cheng Mo out of the back seat, and then said calmly to Jiang Jun: "It doesn't matter, Jiang Ciwei, this is on someone else's territory, and they came prepared, so something will inevitably happen."

, don’t take it to heart.”

Jiang Jun did not raise his head, but bowed his body slightly and lowered his head and said, "I will definitely review it carefully and make sure I won't make any more mistakes."

Xie Minyun said seriously: "There is absolutely no need to write a review. You did nothing wrong. Cheng Mo and I should not have used the body to travel in such dangerous circumstances. We will pay attention to it in the future."

"Thank you for your understanding." Jiang Jun then raised his head, his face full of gratitude. Seeing Xie Minyun carrying Cheng Mo towards the elevator, he quickly chased after her, "Miss...let me do it...

...Is Cheng Mo okay?”

Xie Minyun shook his head, rejected Jiang Jun's extended hand, and said at the same time: "In addition to the electric shock, he was also shot several times in the leg, but they were all steel ball bullets. Generally speaking, his life was not in danger, but he turned out to have a heart disease.

I'm afraid the electric shock will cause damage to his heart... We need to send a doctor over to give Cheng Mo a comprehensive examination. If there are any problems, we will send him back to China immediately."

Jiang Jun nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

"Sorry." Xie Minyun carried Cheng Mo into the special elevator.

Jiang Jun did not follow, but stood at the door of the elevator and said, "Miss, Captain Bai is already on her way. She will probably arrive in the evening."

Xie Minyun nodded and the elevator door slowly closed. She looked down at Cheng Mo's sleeping face and murmured to herself: "Instructor Bai..."

———————————————————————————

When Cheng Mo woke up, not only did he feel a splitting headache, but his left foot also felt a burning pain. This burning pain was concentrated in a few points, but radiated around his calf.

It's like the whole calf is going to be wasted.

Cheng Mo grinned and forced his hands to support the soft mattress. He raised his head and looked at his left foot. It was covered with white bandages from ankle to knee. Blood stains were soaked in several places. The white bandage looked like

It's a red water splash.

Xie Minyun pushed the door open from outside the bedroom and asked softly: "Are you awake? Do you want to drink some water?" Seeing Cheng Mo frowning, Xie Minyun walked to the bed and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Cheng Mo nodded to express his need, and then said: "A bit, my whole body was numbed by electric shock. I didn't even know I was shot. Now that I wake up, I feel a lot of pain..."

"What should we do?" Xie Minyun turned around and went to the refrigerator to get mineral water, handed it to Cheng Mo, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Cheng Mo with concern and said, "How about you activate the carrier to avoid the pain..."

"You have to pay attention to the time when activating the carrier! There are only twelve hours in a day..." Cheng Mo put the water on the bedside table, looked at Xie Minyun and said softly: "However, it seems that it doesn't hurt so much when you are next to me.

...Could it be that you are my painkiller."

"Cough~!" There was a cough at the door of the bedroom. Cheng Mo turned around and saw that it was Bai Xiuxiu standing at the door. She was wearing a milky white turtleneck sweater, gray casual trousers, and her long blonde hair was tied behind her head.

, beside her was a patch of orange lights, like the boundless sea, with the Eiffel Tower and Bai Xiuxiu standing side by side, making Cheng Mo seem to hear the distant sound of waves.

In this second, Chengmo forgot about the pain and only felt that "beauty" is indeed something that can soothe people.

Fortunately, Cheng Mo had been baptized for a long time and did not look too fascinated. He immediately calmed down, held Xie Minyun's hand tightly, and shouted: "Sister Bai!"

Bai Xiuxiu also came over, first put a pillow on Cheng Mo's back and asked him to lean on it, then asked softly: "How do you feel? If it hurts too much, I can help you get some painkillers.

....”

"It doesn't matter, I can bear this little pain."

Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Xie Minyun, chuckled and said: "Oh! Why can I still bear it now? I thought you would say you already have painkillers!"

Cheng Mo stared at his toes with his head lowered, not daring to look at Xie Minyun and Bai Xiuxiu. He also didn't dare to speak, for fear that if he spoke too much he would make a mistake.

Fortunately, Bai Xiuxiu had no intention of chasing after her. She smiled and said, "I'm just kidding you two. I'm going to disturb you again in the coming days, so don't mind..."

"Instructor Bai is wrong to say that. We are here to perform tasks, not to play. There is no need to disturb us. Everything is as it should be." Xie Minyun said calmly.
