Very few cars can drive into the basement of Time Library, but that doesn’t mean cars can’t drive in.
The space inside is spacious enough. As long as the sofas and billiard tables are removed, there will be enough space for even two Soviet-era MAZ-537 heavy-duty tractors to drive in, let alone ordinary cars.
As Apolly closed the heavy explosion-proof door in the basement with his own hands, Culp and Wei Ran also pushed the door open and got out of the car, looking around.
At this time, a row of monitors had been hung on the reserved brackets on the walls on both sides of the basement.
The monitor on the left shows, in addition to the surveillance everywhere inside and outside the villa and library, it even includes high-definition surveillance in the parking lot across the lake.
Part of what is displayed on the right monitor is more like screenshot monitoring of mobile phones and computers, as well as real-time location tracking.
On the edge of the screen, it was even clearly marked in red in Russian whether the device in the screen belonged to Mr. Edward or Mr. Mecher's mobile phone or computer.
In addition to these, there are several other surveillance pictures on the monitor here. According to the Russian annotation above, these are from Mr. Edward's mansion surveillance in the UK, and even the Hela girls from the Succubus Company set up outside the mansion.
monitoring real-time picture.
"Looks like I'm really dazzled"
In the basement, it was April who spoke first. He was looking up and down at Wei Ran with a calm smile on his face.
"Is there anything dirty on my face? Mr. Ivan?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"You look much more normal than the last time we met." April said with a sigh of relief, "Especially your eyes, they look much peaceful."
"Apolly, it seems we are all old." Culp said jokingly.
"I told you, my name is Ivan, not Apolly." Apolly reminded dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, Mr. April."
Culp, the old handsome guy, repeated it in a playful manner, then pointed at the surrounding screens and turned to look at Wei Ran, "Is this the ability of your Hela?"
"How do you feel?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"War is always about technology and intelligence, and there really is nothing wrong with it," Culp said with emotion.
"But the last step in war is always the bullet pushed out by gunpowder and loaded into the body to take away the cheap life."
Apolly urged impatiently, "So have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"
"certainly"
Culp said, finally taking out an extra key and opening the trunk lid at the rear of the car.
The trunk contains black gun boxes made of engineering plastics one after another and arranged very neatly.
"Where did they come from?" Apolly asked as he took the rubber gloves from Wei Ran.
"About fifteen years ago, there was an arsenal on the outskirts of Jifu that once belonged to the Ministry of the Interior. I got a lot of good things at low prices from there.
Not long after the scrap metal was bought, unfortunately there was an explosion, and not even a single brick was left intact."
Kapoor also put on a pair of rubber gloves when he spoke, and said in a tone that I had long expected, "About the same time that Victor's Hella girls were established, I personally dug out these scrap metals and replaced them.
Modern retrofit kits, I knew I would need them sooner or later.”
"You really dote on Victor"
Apolly joked as if he was joking, and it was only then that he took a gun case handed over by Culp and handed it to Wei Ran.
"He is the cornerstone of our ability to successfully retire and live a new life."
Culp said with a smile, "Aurora is the guarantee that we can live a good life after retirement, so even for the sake of a good life in the future, we old guys always have to put in some effort."
"I'm almost moved to tears by you." Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, and at the same time opened the gun box he had just received.
There are only two weapons in this heavy gun box, and they are two very representative ones, a modernized VSSM silent rifle, and two almost iconic PSS silent pistols, as well as their spare ammunition.
“This is the city”
Culp reminded while taking out the gun boxes, "So try to stay quiet. If it attracts unnecessary attention..."
"Don't belabor this kind of thing."
April waved her hand, "I'm going to let the girls in. Will you attend the next party? If you don't plan to attend, you can leave now."
"A few final questions"
Culp said, turning to look at Weiran, leaning against the car's fuel tank cap and asking with a smile, "What are you going to do with the rats that come to your door after you catch them?"
"I want to catch him alive this time"
Wei Ran said with the same smile, "Next, I will arrange for someone to talk to Mr. Edward first. I believe that because we have cooperated so many times before, he will be very happy to help me introduce those rats to us.
In the trap set."
"Then what?" Culp asked again noncommittally.
"Of course I was invited to go to Warsaw to meet and chat with Mr. Mehir."
Wei Ran replied matter-of-factly, and at the same time looked at April, "Uncle Ivan, then Baba Yaga Security Company will be responsible for rescuing me."
"Don't worry, leave it to Baba Yaga," Apolly said with a smile.
"What's next?" Culp asked, looking forward to Wei Ran's answer.
"After being rescued, of course I will vigorously accuse the corrupt officials of the United States of sending assassins to assassinate me." Wei Ran spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, I will perform my best."
"American?"
Culp, who got the unexpected answer, was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said with great satisfaction, "That's a perfect answer, Victor, I'm looking forward to your performance!"
"Gentlemen, is there anything wrong?" Wei Ran asked calmly.
"Are you going to make a big deal out of this?" April finally asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The key to this trouble lies in those photos that the warts have been looking for."
Wei Ran spread his hands, "Unfortunately..."
"Do you have the photo in your hand?" Culp was the first to react and looked at Wei Ran with a strange look on his face, "Why are you so lucky..."
"This is not luck"
Wei Ran pointed to the screens hanging on the wall and said proudly, "This is a reflection of technology and professional capabilities. The salary I give the twins every month is not for nothing. The servers in that room are so expensive."
It’s not a decoration either.”
"So you're going to release those photos?"
Apoli asked, "You are not like a brainless Bargochev. You should have known that this would get you into trouble."
"It will definitely cause some trouble."
Wei Ran spread his hands and said in a more serious tone, "But the rabbit-riding chef who came to visit a few days ago is sincere enough, and he brought something that I couldn't refuse, so I have enough reasons to solve it for him.
This trouble."
"I don't even know if you are a smart person or a fool." Kapoor shook his head helplessly.
"If you want me to be a smart person, I can also give you a reason why it is necessary to do this." Wei Ran spread his hands and said.
"Tell me about it," Culp said with a smile, and took the cigarettes that Apolly gave him.
Wei Ran also took the cigarette from April and lit it for the two old men. Wei Ran said with a smile, "Over the years, I have been attacked once by a kid and assassinated once by Captain America. Although I survived
came down, but killed the innocent Mr. Gorman."
Wei Ran said it seriously, and Culp and April nodded equally seriously. No matter what the truth was, this was a fact they both accepted and presented to the outside world.
"so"
Wei Ran cleared his throat, "I think it's necessary to show off my fists, otherwise in the future, all cats and dogs will think that I am just some plasticine that can be manipulated casually, and the trouble will only increase."
"In the name of Baba Yaga?" April asked almost firmly.
"Yes, in the name of Baba Yaga."
Wei Ran said with a smile, "Let everyone know that based on the accidents I encountered many times before, I hired a professional security team at a high price, and they won the first battle and captured a large number of American agents."
"What are you going to do with the people you catch?" Culp asked again.
"Baba Yaga is a legitimate security company that pays full taxes"
It was Apoli who answered this question, "We don't need to resort to lynching. We just need to disclose the American agents we captured through the media, and then hand them over intact to the Russian Federation to correct corruption."
"That's right"
Wei Ran said with a smile, "I will release all the photos when the time comes."
"The Americans would never have imagined that you took off the underwear soaked in feces and urine from the chair-cracked people and put it directly on their faces." Culp joked with great joy.
"The Americans will stand with you this time," April said with the same smile, "Okay, Culp, it's your turn, you have to participate in the next..."
"I won't participate openly," Culp said with a smile, "but I will help you ventilate in advance."
"In this case, it's time for you to get out of here," said April. "Next, I'm going to distribute weapons to Baba Yaga's security personnel."
"I wish you a good time." As Culp spoke, he had already stood up and walked towards the car he drove.
"Mr. Culp"
Wei Ran then stood up and finally asked, "Is there no danger over there at Aurora?"
"Don't worry"
Culp had already opened the car door as he spoke, "Some of Anna's friends will protect her secretly. If I remember correctly, you met them in Yakutsk a few years ago."
"I have an impression." Wei Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief and added "Thank you" by the way.
"I said, you are the cornerstone for us to retire smoothly and live a new life. Aurora is the guarantee that we can live a good life after retirement."
Before he finished speaking, Culp had already gotten into the cab, "So don't worry, Victor, as long as you don't plan to do anything dangerous to Kazan or the Russian Federation, we will stand behind you and Aurora.
.”
"You will retire smoothly and live a good life."
While Wei Ran helped the other party close the car door, he also solemnly made his promise, "As long as you don't plan to let us do any dangerous actions that betray China."
"Don't worry, we are just a bunch of lonely ghosts who can't even find their graves."
Culp muttered something vaguely, raised the window and started the car while April pressed the blast door remote control, and slowly drove out of the basement of the library.
Almost at the same time that the car drove out of the library yard, two groups of people also lined up and walked into the basement.
One of the teams, Wei Ran, knew each other. They were all HeLa overseas students working for Suisui. The other team was also HeLa girls, the only difference was that they had been receiving training in Mine No. 52.
Without exception, these girls all wore uniform black Adidas three-stripe sportswear and the same style of sneakers - full of mafia gangster looks.
The only difference in clothing from the "Inta athletes" who once "stationed" here is the slightly complicated logo on the back of these girls' pullover hoodies.
The pattern that is the size of a thermos bottle is the standard image of Baba Yaga in Maozi's fairy tales: a deformed, skinny old witch squatting on a stone mortar, holding a thick wooden pestle in one hand, a broom in the other, and her mouth
There was also a pipe that seemed to be made from a leg bone.
The only unique thing is that the stone mortar under the ugly old witch's feet not only has a blood-stained sickle and hammer hanging on it, but there are also two little children as cute as angels hidden inside the stone mortar.
Even these two children with innocent smiles were holding a Nagant revolver with the characteristics of the Soviet Red Army and a bottle of Motolov cocktail that had been lit.
"They are the real core strength of Baba Yaga"
While Wei Ran was curiously looking at the ugly yet beautiful logos on the backs of the girls' tops, Apolly had already greeted the girls and opened the gun cases on the table.
"Only them?"
Wei Ran asked in astonishment, "Are they all girls? Didn't you mean to choose from those gangsters under Greva..."
"We are already choosing, but even after we have chosen them, they will still be girls, young, beautiful, and energetic girls.
Of course, those Gui Niang selected by then will only be Baba Yaga’s core strength in name only.”
Apolly said with a smile, "Also, don't you know that Baba Yaga is a witch? What's wrong with a man sneaking into the witch group?"
"Okay, where are they?" Wei Ran asked, raising his chin towards the girls who were receiving their guns.
"The real core strength of the witch coven, the superficial non-staff member."
While April was explaining, the team of girls who usually helped Suisui with their work had each received a small PSS pistol and a spare magazine filled with bullets.
As for the two weapons left in the gun box, one long and one short, as well as the remaining spare ammunition and even the gun box, they were distributed to the girls in the other team.
Looking at these girls who were plainly dressed, young and beautiful in appearance, but very quick in checking the weapons in their hands, Wei Ran shook his head in confusion, and asked unwillingly, "New question, who is Baba Yaga in name?"
The boss?”
"Lola, of course it's Lola." April naturally gave the expected answer, "She is a good and sensible child, and she is most suitable to lead these girls."
"All right"
Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded. It was obvious that not only Apoli, but also the smart Suisui, everyone around him was tacitly helping him to perfect the bluffing and harmless person of "a historian who is surrounded by women"
set up.
"When do you plan to start?" April asked while the girls were checking their weapons.
"If the girls are ready, you can start at any time." As Wei Ran spoke, he took out his cell phone, which was still not turned on, and shook it.
"Then let's get started." As Apolly spoke, he also stood up.
Hearing this, Wei Ran pressed the power button of his phone.
After a moment of waiting, as the phone's power-on signal was restored, several incoming call reminder text messages popped up one after another.
"It seems that Mr. Edward can't wait to cooperate with our performance."
Wei Ran said, but did not call Edward back. Instead, he sent an emoticon of a little fox blowing a whistle to a chat group started by Anfiya.
Almost at the same time that the news was sent out, Monica and Tassie, who set off from Paris almost an hour later than Wei Ran, Suisui and others, but landed in the UK earlier, had already brought Matthew, who had skipped class again, with them.
Children, dinner is ready at Mr. Charlotte's house.
"Mr. Victor sent an emoji of a little fox blowing a whistle."
Matthew fiddled with his mobile phone and said that he didn't know what this signal meant, but Monica had given him the task of staring at the mobile phone before setting off.
"Mr. Charlotte, are you willing to help?" Monica, who had just served the steak she had cooked by herself, asked casually.
"certainly"
Charlotte stuffed the napkin into her collar and said, "Whether it's because Victor saved Matthew or because Aurora made me invest in that Antarctic documentary and made a lot of money, even if it's just for justice,
I'll help too."
Hearing this, Monica and Tassie looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"It's just a matter of making a phone call. You don't actually need to go there in person." Charlotte said kindly.
"Grandpa Charlotte, don't you like us to be your guests?" Matthew, a child with naturally curly hair, raised his head and delivered a critical blow that Charlotte could not resist.
At the dining table, Monica and Tassie, who were busy serving dishes, looked at each other tacitly, with a sly smile on their faces.
In the evening when things were two hours apart, Wei Ran and April took the girls who had obtained the weapons and assigned their respective tasks. At the same time, in the villa next door, Lyubov was also helped by the witch housekeeper Mrs. Samantha.
Next, I made a sumptuous midnight snack for everyone.
Also in the evening, after having dinner in the company of Monica and the other three, Charlotte walked into the study alone and once again looked at the tablet computer without Internet access that Monica had given her.
What is displayed on this tablet is some of the incriminating evidence in the CDs that the Katenka sisters commanded Miss Hela to cut from Edward's hands.
In addition to these things, Monica also verbally conveyed Anfiya's request on behalf of Wei Ran, asking him to find an excuse to call Edward to get together.
Whether to help Wei Ran or her old friend Edward is really a question that Charlotte doesn't need to think carefully about.
However, after he took out his cell phone, he did not dial Edward. Instead, he dialed a friend he and Edward had in common.
"Charlotte, good evening."
As soon as the call was connected, an old man with a loud voice on the other side greeted me warmly.
"Good evening Alan"
Charlotte said equally enthusiastically, "You must know why I'm calling you at this time."
"Of course, we are old friends!"
Alan on the other end of the phone said in his loud, loud voice, "My card table has been empty for a long time. When are you going to come over?"
"How about tomorrow?"
Charlotte pretended to ponder and then asked, "The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain tomorrow. According to our habits, this is a good weather for playing cards.
Especially last time Mr. Edward and Ms. Kate won hundreds of pounds from me respectively, I have to win it back, otherwise I will lose sleep even on rainy days."
"Then tomorrow!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Allen on the phone said confidently, "I will ask Mr. Edward and Ms. Kate out. I also want to win back the money I lost to him."
"Then it's settled," Charlotte said happily, "I will arrive on time tomorrow evening."
"Bring enough cash," Alan reminded with a laugh.
"certainly"
Charlotte hung up the phone with a thick smile, then picked up a wet tissue from the table, wiped her hands carefully, and threw it into the trash can with a look of disgust.
That night, a kidnapping team of 13 people rushed to Kazan on a red-eye flight without stopping.
On the same night, after failing to call Weiran again, Edward also "happily" received a call from his poker friend Allen.
Perhaps it would be safer to contact Victor through Mr. Charlotte?
As Wei Ran and others expected, Edward came up with what he thought was a clever idea, and then happily agreed to the card game tomorrow evening.
Still on this night, Inta, who was far away but extremely safe, and Suisui, who came with Anna, were also lost in the wine glasses raised by many friends again and again, and as most people expected, with only a few glasses of fruit wine
She was forced unconscious and allowed the Katenka sisters to take her back to the hotel suite.
Compared to Suisui, who was very drunk, the other girls who came with him had a good drinking capacity.
Of course, just like Wei Ran kept some secrets from Suisui, he also didn't know that the people invited to Inta were not only Suisui and Kou Kou, but also almost all the girls who had joined the Golden Fleece - including Ben.
Maya, who was supposed to be filming in Murmansk, and Aniya, who took another flight to arrive from France first.
He didn't even know that these girls were planning a big business while changing glasses.
In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning, and Wei Ran apologetically called Mr. Edward back, apologetically saying that he was preparing to make an urgent trip back to China, completely blocking the other party's unspoken invitation.
