The 357th chapter of the world is heavy in the evening (3)
"Golden-apple, golden apple, could it be..." Huang Zhicheng stuffed a large handful of milk chocolate beans into his mouth and chewed them hard. The long scar covered by his sunglasses trembled and trembled, like a
Wriggling centipede.
Chen Jianming was full of questions, but he could see that Huang Zhicheng was in a very uneasy mood at this moment, so he consciously held his breath and kept his voice quiet, not to disturb Huang Zhicheng at this moment.
After a while, Huang Zhicheng reached out and grabbed something empty, only to realize that he had eaten up a large bag of milk chocolate beans without realizing it. He touched his chin and saw Chen Jianming looking at him curiously.
But he didn't dare to say anything. He smiled and asked: "Do you know the name "Hesperides"?"
"Hesperides?" Chen Jianming searched his memory carefully and answered with some uncertainty: "Does it refer to the name of the goddess who guards the golden apple tree in ancient Greek mythology? Or does it have some other meaning?
?I can only think of this one meaning."
"You are right, it is the name of a goddess, but it is also the name of an extremely dangerous criminal group." Huang Zhicheng said in a solemn tone: "Originally, with your level, you were not able to access this confidential level of information, but since
We encountered them, and maybe we will encounter them in the next mission, so I have to tell you clearly, are you mentally prepared?"
Chen Jianming replied categorically: "Yes!"
"Hmm. Let me think about where to start?" Huang Zhicheng touched his chin habitually, then opened another bag of milk chocolate beans and said while eating: "This criminal group is really unique.
They walk alone. They are named "Hesperides". As the name suggests, they are to protect the golden apples. Do you know the story of the golden apples?"
"Well, of course I know that. The golden apple is almost the most famous treasure in ancient Greek mythology. I remember that the eleventh of the twelve feats accomplished by Hercules in the world was to obtain
The golden apples guarded by Hesperides and the hundred-headed dragon Ladon. And the Trojan War is also related to this. I remember, well, at the wedding of the human hero Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis.
superior,
All the gods were invited to the wedding, but Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited. Then Eris held a grudge and used a golden apple with the words "for the most beautiful goddess" at the banquet to trigger Hera, Athena, and Athena.
The fierce dispute between the three goddesses Phredite directly became the trigger for the Trojan War, a melee between humans and gods..." As he spoke, Chen Jianming suddenly realized that he was going further and further away, and stopped quickly.
"What happened next?" Huang Zhicheng asked with interest when he saw Chen Jianming suddenly stop.
"ah?"
"Ahem, this story is quite interesting. Hey, I didn't know it was so clear."
"Ah, oh." Chen Jianming was confused.
"I'm going too far, I'm going too far, uh, that, where did I come from? By the way, this, this "Hesperides", this criminal group is very mysterious, and there is actually not much clear information at the moment.
, I only know that they use the "golden apple tree entwined with a hundred dragons" as their symbol.
There are at least four members, and they usually act alone. They use "Mr. So-and-so" as their respective code names. This so-and-so is the treasure they each pursue, which is also their criminal motive. For example, the more active "Mr. Painting" among them, this so-and-so
People specialize in hunting all kinds of world-famous paintings."
"Do you specialize in stealing famous paintings?" Chen Jianming asked.
"No, no, no, how can I say that this organization is unique? He does not take famous paintings as his own like other criminals, but specifically targets collectors who have exclusive possession of famous paintings. He will use any means to rob, and then
Donate those famous paintings to a public museum so that everyone can appreciate them. Maybe that's why they are named "Hesperides"."
"Ah? There are such criminals." Chen Jianming was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect this.
Huang Zhicheng put down the milk chocolate and said seriously: "Don't be fooled by his behavior. Although his motives are different for everyone, his methods are absolutely cruel. There was once a European collector who was unwilling to hand over the famous paintings he collected. As a result, he fell into a trap overnight.
During this period, the entire family died unexpectedly. Every member of this organization is at least a vicious criminal at the Earth Evil level. There is even speculation that the leader of this organization has natural disaster level strength, which must not be underestimated."
"Natural disaster!" Chen Jianming took a breath, "Does this mean that this organization even has the ability to destroy a country?"
"That's right. In addition to "Mr. Painting", the more active ones include "Mr. Sword" who chases famous swords, and "Mr. Qi" who is obsessed with human body organs. Although the other members are not evil, there is no doubt that they are extremely evil.
of criminals.”
Chen Jianming felt that his throat was dry and his heart was beating violently. Although he made many guesses about this mission, he never expected to be directly related to a criminal group of this level.
"What, are you scared?"
"Well, to be honest, I'm a little scared." Chen Jianming said truthfully with a red face.
"It's okay, it's normal to be afraid. My grandmother is also afraid." Huang Zhicheng smiled and hugged Chen Jianming's shoulders, then patted his chest and said: "Haha, I won't let a rookie like you and them all at once.
That's right. You're mainly here to gain experience this time, you know? Remember, bring your eyes, ears, and brain, and then take care of your hands."
"Moreover, this matter may not really be related to "Hesperides". This suicide note..." Huang Zhicheng was silent for a moment and said coldly: "We need to investigate further. I see behind this
There are many more articles.”
"Okay, you don't have to think too much about this. Isn't the task you received to represent the General Administration as a witness to the "Zhulu Game"? Pay more attention to that. This time, even the previous chief of Yuanyuan Island is here.
Yes, I heard she is a rare beauty, hehe, why don't you pay more attention?" Huang Zhicheng said with a smirk on Chen Jianming's face, and the heavy atmosphere just now was suddenly diluted a lot.
Chen Jianming looked embarrassed and said, "Captain Huang, stop making fun of me."
"What? You don't look down on others? Don't let others look down on you. The students of Yuanyuan Island are not simple, let alone the chief. Although the ten most outstanding representatives are selected when each class of students graduates,
But only the position of chief would rather remain vacant and never give up easily. This is the only genius who has graduated with chief honors in the past thirteen years. Even your father with eyes that reach the top of his head can't say anything."
"That's not what I meant, Captain Huang, you..."
Before Chen Jianming could finish speaking, Huang Zhicheng patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Oh, I understand, you are afraid that others will look down on you and lose face."
Huang Zhicheng looked at Chen Jianming carefully, and then said: "You look like a dog, but you are pretty good. You have to have confidence in yourself. Don't worry, I will teach you some unique secrets later. How?
Sample?"
Chen Jianming was so embarrassed that he stammered and explained: "Oh, Team Huang, I really, really don't mean that."
"Hahaha..." Huang Zhicheng laughed heartily, "You guys are really thin-skinned, and you are more tender-faced than girls. That's no good. I'll ask your dad for some advice when I have time, eh? He was really doing his job back then.
