After resting at Frank's house for a night, Wei Ran arrived at the pub early the next morning when he was held down by two drunk chain dogs. In less than half an hour, he had come to the pub yesterday for a round of trouble.
The middle-aged man also came as promised and used his broken pistol to invite Wei Ran to sit down at a table.
Fortunately, because Frank had checked his confession in advance, there were no problems in this interrogation. And the middle-aged man in casual clothes also asked the postman Frank for some questioning, and then simply left with him.
Siren Tavern.
"Leaving now?" Artur muttered in disbelief.
"I hope I really leave," Wei Ranhun said nonchalantly, but in fact he was on guard in his heart. This man's attitude today was too straightforward.
"I hope so," Artur muttered worriedly, obviously not letting down his guard either.
The disappearance of the chained dog Adam was settled, and the Siren Tavern returned to its former glory.
Every afternoon, Mia would take the girls on stage to sing and be busy until the lights went out. Frank would also collect the letters sent home from the soldiers in the mailbox at the door every day at noon, and send them to the sea in the evening.
The letter from Yao Tavern is sent directly to the front desk, and you can get a free drink by the way.
As time goes by day by day, it seems that everything has returned to its former peace. The guests in the Siren Tavern come and go. In just a few days, I don’t know how many batches have been changed. At the same time, the guests in the Siren Tavern have changed.
Adam, the chained dog, seems to have been completely forgotten by everyone.
But for Wei Ran, his inner uneasiness became more and more serious, because this was already the sixth night that he had killed Adam and dumped his body, but he had never been able to find an opportunity to complete his return mission. He even had
I have the illusion that I will be left here with a metal notebook for the rest of my life and will never be able to go back.
In the basement illuminated by kerosene lamps, the middle-aged man codenamed Romeo from Weiran Gang inspected the wound and whispered, "The healing is pretty good so far, but it will probably take a long time to fully recover.
"
"At least my life and legs were saved." Artur, who was sitting next to him, breathed a sigh of relief, "Victor, thanks to your help."
"Nothing," Wei Ran responded with a strong smile, and quickly completed the dressing and bandaging work on the wound.
"Juliet, have you gained anything these days?" Arthur asked as usual.
"No"
Juliet, who had been listening by the radio station, shook her head almost indifferently, as if all her thoughts were focused on the dots or short lines representing Morse code recorded on the manuscript paper.
Artur sighed and waved to Wei Ran, "Let's go up."
Hearing this, Wei Ran nodded and followed the former out of the basement silently.
Outside the fireplace, singer Mia waited for the two of them to come out, immediately covered the hole, and then used a brush to carefully clean the charcoal ash on their bodies and the floor.
"go to bed early"
After Artur finished speaking, he picked up the basin and poured the water into the iron bucket originally used to hold the charcoal fire. He let Wei Ran carry it and followed him out of Mia's room.
Watching Artur go upstairs alone, Wei Ran carried the iron bucket in his hand to the kitchen, found a random dining table and sat down, looked at the rain outside the window, and continued to think about his own mission.
Over the past few days, the time he had the opportunity to interact with Juliet and Romeo every day was only a few minutes after the tavern was closed late at night and the drinkers were asleep, and he went to the basement to help change dressings.
In such a short time, he had no chance to say a few words to Juliet who had been busy cracking the encryption method, let alone the man codenamed Romeo. Since he woke up, except for a thank you without gratitude, he had nothing to do with himself.
There was no exchange of more than half a word. Even the information that I needed to help the other party convey, there was no trace at all after so many days.
"Forget it, go back to sleep." Wei Ran yawned and stopped thinking about it. He got up and went upstairs and got into his own room.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the next day. A dozen submariners who had been staying here in recent days also left the tavern despite the heavy rain that had not stopped since yesterday, and ran together to the military dock not far away.
Seeing that more than half of the drinkers were missing, the Siren Tavern seemed much quieter. Correspondingly, Wei Ran's job as a bartender became much easier as he became more and more skilled.
After finishing the day's work absentmindedly, he poured himself a glass of liqueur and was about to take a rest, but Mia hurriedly came to find him and Artur.
"Artur, Victor, can you help me with your room? The window in my room is leaking." Mia suppressed her excitement and asked the two of them with a normal expression.
"This dilapidated house should be repaired," Artur responded in a pretentious manner, "Victor, you go in and take a look first, and I'll go to the basement to find some tools."
"Remember to calculate overtime pay for me," Wei Ran responded.
“What is overtime pay?”
As Artur walked to the room behind the bar, he responded with a contemptuous tone, "If you steal a few bottles of wine from me, you might get some overtime pay."
"Stingy boss" Wei Ran muttered as he followed Mia into her room.
Before Wei Ran could close the door, Mia had already rushed to the window that had been deliberately opened a crack. While wiping the rainwater that had flowed in with a rag, she was vigilantly observing the situation outside.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.
Mia looked outside again, but did not rush to explain. Instead, she waited until Artur came in with tools, and then whispered in the sound of rain, "There are two messages, the first one is
Petra just heard it from a pilot. After the rain stops, that pilot will fly a bomber to bomb the Port of Liverpool in England."
"Wait, something is wrong." Before Mia could finish her words, Wei Ran, who had been feeling nervous in recent days, was the first to frown.
"What's wrong?" Mia and Artur both looked at Wei Ran.
"This is the port of Kiel!"
Weiran reminded, "Taking off from here to bomb Liverpool, England? Don't you think it seems a bit far away? Moreover, even if this information is true, how could a pilot know his mission before setting off? How could he?
Say it easily?"
"Mia, who did Petra get the news from?" Artur asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Mia, who had already realized something was wrong, had cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, "I'll ask when I have a chance later?"
"No need to ask." Artur waved his hand, "Let the girls be careful. It seems that someone has already sent a trap to the tavern."
"Chain dog?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice with an affirmative tone.
"For now, it can only be them." Artur thought for a moment and continued, "Mia, keep the fireplace warm these two days to ensure their safety."
"no problem"
Singer Mia nodded quickly and continued, "In addition, you must have noticed that many submariners left the tavern today. According to the information the girls got out, they will leave Kiel Port on a submarine tonight. According to statistics
, these soldiers are all from the 7th Submarine Group, in addition, the content of their chats these days has been around the English Channel and British merchant ships."
"This news is more credible"
Artur looked at the rain outside the window and said, "Whether the first piece of information is true or false, we must at least find a way to send out the second piece of information."
"But Romeo is injured," Mia reminded in a low voice, "We currently don't have the right person to send information. We can't let Frank go, he has to maintain..."
"Victor, go and watch outside." Before Artur finished speaking, he had already closed the window and closed the heavy curtains.
Hearing this, Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, turned around and left the room quickly, sitting at a dining table next to the window in the hall, staring at the pouring rain outside the window, secretly pondering the current situation.
If the first piece of information is false, then this tavern has undoubtedly been targeted now. And in this context, if they want to spread the second piece of information, they will undoubtedly face extremely high risks. And if
If the first piece of information turned out to be true, they would have to send it out before the rain stopped, which would also involve taking huge risks.
Just when he was analyzing the situation in front of him, the uncomfortable feeling of brain shutdown swept over him without any warning, giving him a splitting headache. At the same time, his eyesight became a little black, and then he lay on the ground uncontrollably.
on the table.
After a long time, Wei Ran struggled to sit up straight, breathing heavily as if he was deprived of oxygen, adjusting to the extra things in his mind amidst the indescribable and uncomfortable feeling of being out of time and space.
What did you learn this time?
Wei Ran almost foolishly glanced at the rain curtain outside the window. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he calmed down a little. This belated "skill awakening" not only made him wonder what new skills he had learned for a while, but also
It reminded him from the side that a full week had passed since he killed the chain dog Adam and dumped his body in the pond.
Before he could fully recover from the uncomfortable feeling, Artur had already walked out of Mia's room and invited him to get into the kitchen with him.
"Are you okay?" Artur asked a little worried when he saw Wei Ran swaying as he walked.
"It's okay." Wei Ran waved his hand, "Let's get down to business."
Artur gently pushed open the kitchen window. Amidst the sound of the rainstorm, Artur said against Wei Ran's ear, "Victor, I need to set out now to send out the information."
Wei Ran was stunned and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Artur hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "If something happens to me, the Germans will probably come to the tavern soon. All you have to do is save the basement."
"Would it be too risky?"
Wei Ran, who was getting more and more uneasy, frowned and reminded. After getting along with each other these days, he could already see that people like Artur actually didn't know how to do intelligence work. It could even be said that they were a group of people who were worse than himself.
Amateur players. And their current decision also violates the taboo of impulsiveness.
"It doesn't matter. Romeo promised me that there will be no danger." Artur assured confidently.
Romeo promised you? Wei Ran was startled and asked abruptly, "He is not just a professor, right?"
"How did you..."
Artur stopped abruptly mid-sentence, hesitated for a moment and then said ambiguously, "He is an Englishman."
"Artur, have you ever thought of a possibility?"
"What's possible?" Artur turned to look at Wei Ran standing next to him.
But Wei Ran looked at the rain outside the window and asked almost to himself, "Have you ever thought that someone is taking advantage of your revengeful mood?"
"You mean Romeo?"
Artur instantly understood the implications of Wei Ran's words, but then he smiled freely, with a trace of the passion and stubbornness of an idealist on his face, "So what if we are using it? At least we can still
It has value of being exploited, as long as this war can be ended as soon as possible, as long as it can cause trouble to the Germans. Even if it is being exploited, what does it matter?"
At least you should choose a reliable partner, Wei Ran muttered to himself, but he never said it out loud.
"Okay, I'm leaving now." Artur said, having already closed the window and was about to leave through the back door of the kitchen.
"Wait first"
Wei Ran grabbed Atul, hesitated for a moment and said, "Atul, if you trust me, sleep in Mia's room tonight, and I will deliver the information."
"you?"
Artur frowned and was about to say something when Wei Ran continued, "At least I'm younger than you and I can run faster. And if the Germans come to your door, you know how to deal with them."
Seeing that the other party was silent, Wei Ran urged him again, "Don't hesitate, we don't have much time."
"All right"
Artur took a deep breath, leaned into Wei Ran's ear and said, "You need to go to Felm Village, which is 7 kilometers away. Just follow the road outside and go northwest to find it. In addition, in
There is a mare in the oak forest north of the tavern, you can ride her on your way."
"What happens after we get to that village?" Wei Ran asked, "Who should I look for?"
"There is a forest to the south of the village, and there is a cemetery in it."
Artur continued, "Go to the tombkeeper there and tell him the information. If the chain dog finds you... then kill the tombkeeper."
Hearing this, Wei Ran was stunned, took a deep breath and nodded, "I remember."
"Come back before dawn. If there is a chained dog in the pub then, go directly to Frank's house." Artur reminded again, "He will help you. If necessary, you can leave Kiel Port together."
