Chapter 1662 Staggered in the International Conference Seventeen
Chapter 1662: Intertwining and Meeting (Seventeen)
In just a moment, Palamedes, who crossed the barrier of optical camouflage, immediately saw a completely different scenery on the street.
Cairo's black market is as bustling as ever. The night has fallen, and lights and colors are everywhere, so gorgeous.
After a hard day's work, the merchants had just finished dinner and replenished their batteries, and began to hawk energetically again. The shouts one after another made this illegal black market that was supposed to be operated secretly full of wonderful vitality.
People come and go in the black market, and the speculators and buyers doing business here are busy selecting goods in various shops. For these people, as long as they know the ropes, the garbage here can be transformed into nothing.
Become a treasure. It is precisely because of the stimulation of huge profits that greedy people will tease the forbidden fruit of sin in this illegal pure land, right?
This is truly the most unique market in the world.
If the shops here were stocked with the usual goods found in the market, it might just be an ordinary market.
However, Palamedes did see that countless stalls in the black market were filled with various seemingly illegal products------
Various powerful weapons of destruction;
Various equipment and vehicles of unknown origin;
All kinds of rare and precious minerals and materials that should have been taxed to African governments upon acquisition.
If the Egyptian government sends an army here to seal it, it is estimated that every shop here is likely to be closed down. However, this magical black market still survives in this form in the center of Cairo, in the capital of Egypt.
It has probably been around for a long time, and the Egyptian government has not even started to deal with this black market. There must be a huge force behind this black market, supporting its operation, right?
Let's not talk about this. The most important thing now is to find the dishonest and despicable poisoner Bete and give him a good beating - oh no, get back Gengunir.
"Can you identify Bete's location in this crowd?" Palamedes asked Rosetta. In his opinion, finding a person by just one footsteps in such a crowded place is no different.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Rosetta is a dark elf, and her bloodline is probably very pure. Her photon hearing is so powerful that it's beyond imagination. Maybe there is a way.
"I can start looking, but I must first find a safe hiding place before I start. When I concentrate on using photon hearing, my whole body is full of flaws. If I am attacked by the enemy at this time, I will probably die miserably. And I can tell you clearly,
In this Africa, there are more people who want to kill me than there are cat hairs on your body. You have to protect me."
"Okay." Palamedes pointed to the coffee shop nearby: "Let's search there."
"Very good." Rosetta then walked towards the coffee shop with a smile: "Why do I suddenly feel like I'm dating you again?"
"If dating you can help me get back my Gengunir, I'm willing to go on any number of dates." Big Cat joked.
The Gem Queen gave the big cat a blank look and walked into the coffee shop.
However, it must be said that Palamedes was extremely smart in choosing this venue as a safe place. This cafe is considered a public place, and even if a killer wanted to kill Rosetta, he would never dare to do anything too much in a place like this.
Big move; however, although there are many people in this cafe, it is not so crowded that dragons and snakes are mixed together. Most of the people who stay here are the type who dine quietly, sit in their own seats, drink coffee and surf the Internet.
They won't wander around. This kind of public place where everything is orderly is the most difficult place for killers to find opportunities to attack. Moreover, a corner of this cafe, which is neither large nor small, is still empty.
The seat was far away from the window and was surrounded by solid walls on three sides, giving people a very safe feeling. Palamedes went over to occupy a seat that was most convenient for defense and sat down, while waving to Luo with a little pride.
Come here Seta.
"What a perfect venue." After sitting down, the Queen of Jewels praised in a low voice: "Now, would you please order me some coffee and desserts?"
"Are you still interested in eating?" the big cat said jokingly.
The Gem Queen smiled bitterly and said: "I must at least pretend. Otherwise, my concentrated use of photon hearing is too conspicuous."
When Palamedes and Rosetta were "dating" before, the big cat may not have truly understood the situation of the Queen of Jewels. But now, with Rosetta being extremely cautious wherever she goes, she finally finally understood
Palamedes realized that the Queen of Jewels had actually been living in the shadow of being assassinated a long time ago.
In normal times, if Rosetta could use her photon hearing to be on guard, her enemies might not be able to sneak up on her so easily. But now, once she starts to use her hearing attentively, she will monitor every step in the Cairo black market.
When identifying the sound, she will be in a completely defenseless state. In this state, Rosetta cannot protect herself. Even a small projectile fired from a distance can kill her.
.
But the Gem Queen risked her life without any extra bodyguards and used her photon hearing to help Paramedis find someone. She did this out of her absolute trust in the Leopard Warriors.
, I believe he will protect her even when she is unable to protect herself.
Thinking about this, Palamedes couldn't help but feel quite honored, but also felt tremendous pressure.
They randomly ordered some food and drinks, and after the waiter brought the food and drinks, Rosetta winked at the big cat, indicating that they could start.
Palamedes swallowed his saliva and nodded. From this angle, he could use his back to cover the view outside the window on the far side of the cafe. In this way, even if someone was hiding on a building in the distance,
, if you plan to kill Rosetta with a weapon such as a sniper rifle, the trajectory will inevitably overlap with Paramedes' body, and the big cat will definitely be able to sense that it is about to be attacked.
After everything was prepared and everything was ensured, Rosetta smiled lightly, took a sip of coffee, and then closed her eyes.
In the eyes of others, this was just a young couple enjoying the tranquility of the evening in a coffee shop, and the lady was just a little sleepy. After taking a sip of coffee, she closed her eyes and rested. However, no one except the person involved would know.
Rosetta was now concentrating on using her photon hearing to carefully listen to everyone's footsteps in the entire Cairo black market.
As long as it is a human being, or as long as it is a creature that walks on two legs, it must be tall or short, fat or thin, there will be some preferred shoes, there will be a unique walking rhythm, and there will even be some that even these people themselves are not aware of.
Hidden disease in the footsteps. These small differences are so insignificant that normal people can hardly distinguish them, but Rosetta, as a dark elf, can distinguish them clearly. What's more, the poisoner Bete has tried to assassinate Rosetta several times.
This time, the Queen of Gem knew the footsteps of this dangerous assassin very clearly. As long as Bette moved within her hearing range, she could hear his footsteps.
Of course, even though Rosetta's hearing is so powerful, it will still be very time-consuming to find a unique footsteps among tens of thousands of footsteps. In the auditory world of the Gem Queen, every second
There are countless footsteps falling to the ground like raindrops and exploding, causing countless echoes. She can listen to the footsteps of thousands of people every second and filter them, but the efficiency is not particularly high------for
In terms of the countless people walking around in Cairo's black market.
About ten seconds later, Rosetta suddenly let out a long sigh: "Bate may not be here."
"What? But------" The Queen of Gemstones actually said this, and the big cat was shocked.
"Everything is still uncertain. Either it is because Bete is not moving at all at this time, or it is because he does not appear in this black market at all, but takes your Gengunir to trade elsewhere." Luo
Seta said with a disappointed look: "Anyway, the situation is not good. If Bete really sells your gun, we will not only lose the magic weapon, but also lose it forever..."
She looked at her surroundings with some caution: "That thing."
She did not say the word "Heart of Africa" in public, because she was afraid that walls had ears. Even though the corner of the coffee shop where they were sitting was originally empty, it was impossible for others to hear the conversation between her and Palamedes.
.
"Hmph..." Palamedes said a little anxiously: "Besides listening to the footsteps, is there no other way to find Bete? For example, listen to his heartbeat?"
Rosetta shook her head: "Heart sounds are much more complex than footsteps. It can indeed better identify a person's location, and the other person can identify their heart sounds without moving around. However, such complex sound pattern recognition is difficult to do in
Among tens of thousands of people - just screening will take a lot of time."
And time is what they lack most at the moment. If they can't catch Bete before he sells Gengunil, everything will be over.
"There is no way, all this is beyond my ability. Let's ask professionals for help." Rosetta quickly finished her coffee and stood up.
"Uh, professionals mean...?" Big Cat asked with a frown.
"A fortune teller, of course." Rosetta said without emotion: "In Africa, there is only one fortune teller who can use divination to accurately indicate the location of a person or object. Fortunately, she lives in Cairo.
It's near the black market. It might be too late to rush over to find her now."
"A divination..." Palamedes said he was doubtful.
Da Mao is not a scientist, he is not even a well-educated intellectual; to put it bluntly, he is actually just a blind man, a reckless man who only uses violence when encountering problems. But he is not superstitious about divination.
Things are still quite repulsive.
------Divination? That is obviously baseless pseudoscience.
In the sixth century AD, an era when science was flourishing and even the gods were looked down upon and ignored, how could anyone still believe in something like divination?
