Enigma 倪匡 6286Words 2018-03-14
When we set off, the moonlight was very bright, and the beautiful scenery on a good day was a little sad, and we were muttering something. Halfway through the car, suddenly dark clouds covered, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the two cheered in unison: "The night of the dark moon kills people, the wind is high and the sky is on fire, the sky is on fire." It's a good time to act." Batu laughed out loud. When they arrived at the destination, Batu pointed at their red clothes and said with a smile, "This seems to be against the rules. Night clothes should be black."

The two glared at Batu: "We are bold, if we like white, we will wear white." At this time, they all felt that it would be easy to steal a painting in that loosely guarded building, so they felt very relaxed, and they didn't sneak around even after they parked their cars dozens of meters away. , three people blatantly walked towards the building. But they didn't dare to enter through the front door, but went to the back and entered through a window. The surrounding area was extremely quiet, the building was dark, and the atmosphere was somewhat mysterious. Going down the stairs to the entrance of the cellar, Batu took out the lockpicking tool and opened the lock in one go.

Liang Chenmei rushed to go down, Batu gave them a hard look: "Stay on top." Liang Chenmei said in unison: "What kind of wind is there, there is no one at all." Just as they were talking, suddenly a light came on in the corridor on one side, and there was a voice again. The three of them reacted very quickly, and Liang Chenmei's figure flashed, and they all walked behind a large pillar together.Since Batu happened to be at the door of the cellar, he took one step down and closed the door. (When Liangchen Meimei talked about this point, she was very sure. Although they moved away very quickly at that time, it was almost their innate ability to move quickly, so they could still clearly see that Batu Hide in the cellar.)

The voices of people in the corridor gradually moved forward. Behind the pillar, they saw a person who murmured something, walked forward, turned on the light in the lobby, looked forward with his head. After all, Liangchen Meijing was a thief, feeling guilty, hid behind the big pillar, not even daring to vent his breath, the man walked around, turned on the lights all the way, and walked away.From the looks of it, he looked like a guard who came out to patrol. At this time, Liangchen Meijing felt suspicious, because the actions of the guards did not seem to be routine inspections, but seemed to have heard something, so they came out to check, but the three of them, it can be said that there was no sound at all. I have come out, and when I spoke just now, I also lowered my voice.

The guard really had no reason to be awakened. At that time, they naturally just thought about it for a while, and no one would think too much about this insignificant matter in such a situation—but later, it was this detail that made the whole mystery a thing. The clues that have been uncovered, the tall buildings rise from the ground, and the whole big mystery can be solved as long as one strand of thread is pulled out. The guards left, Liangchen Meijing acted very carefully, waited for another minute, then flashed out from behind the big pillar, and came to the cellar door, the door lock had already been unlocked, they gently pushed the door open, and behind the door was a crowd of people. It was pitch black, they had been here during the day, and they knew that there was a staircase leading to the bottom behind the door. They went down two steps first, then closed the door behind their hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and called in a low voice, "Uncle Batu."

To their surprise, there was no answer.The two were amused, thinking that Batu was going to play with them. Both of them have quite powerful flashlights, and they are connected with each other, and they are lit at the same time and shine downward. When the flashlight was on, not to mention the direct beam of light, it could be seen clearly even in other places. They were condescending, and the situation in the entire cellar was clear at a glance. Where was there any figure?Apart from the three columns of paintings, there was no one.Liang Chenmei's surprise was really no small matter, she jumped down and searched everywhere, but there was really no hiding place in the cellar, and there was no other way out, where did Batu go?

After searching for another two minutes, the light of the two powerful flashlights both shone on the painting—the one they were going to steal. At a glance, the two of them took a breath. They had carefully looked at the oil painting during the day, and they were very familiar with it, so when they looked at it now, there was suddenly a person in the oil painting, and they could naturally feel that something was wrong. And when they saw clearly, the extra person was right next to the female teacher, looking at the female teacher, as if wanting to speak, lifelike, as if Batu had suddenly shrunk many times and entered the painting.

The two woke up from the stupefaction, took a step forward at the same time, and called, "Uncle Batu." Their thoughts were extremely disordered, and they reached out to touch together. The surface of the oil painting was uneven, and they were too close, so the people in the painting did not look so clear.They backed away in a hurry, and when they got to an appropriate distance, they looked more realistic. It was definitely Batu, and it couldn't be anyone else. The beautiful scenery on a good day is not to be fearless. At this time, they became afraid-this was something they had never encountered before, and they never expected such a thing to happen.

After all, they were young and didn't have much experience in responding. They were in the shock department at the time, and they just wanted to leave here first, and contact me and Bai Su. It was easy for them to leave. It was a miracle that there was no accident when they drove back. As soon as they got back, they called me immediately. I had already set off. They told Bai Su what happened, and then waited anxiously for me to arrive. After they finished telling the story, I glared at them: "At that time, you should at least do one thing." The two blinked, and I raised my voice: "When you go, take that painting with you, we don't have to travel long distances now."

Liang Chenmei sighed: "Next time there is such an accident, I will have...experience." I took a deep breath. If it weren’t for the audio tapes I left in Batu, I knew that he had been captured by “magic” into the painting when he was on the Mongolian grassland. It's gibberish. Batu, he actually entered the painting twice, which is a bit unbelievable. When the car stopped near the building, Liang Chen and Jing Mei turned their heads to look at me.At this time, it was mid-afternoon, and it would be too long to wait until dark to steal the painting, so I thought about it: "There is only one guard?"

The two nodded: "The last two times when I came here, there was only one." I made a gesture: "Both of you go and stop him, and I will steal the painting. Once the painting is in hand, I will honk the horn twice, and you will also retreat." I said something, and they promised that they had been here last time, and when they knocked on the door, the guard opened the door and let them in. I opened a window from the back of the house, jumped in, and entered very easily. The cellar, at a glance, saw the painting.At this time in the cellar, the light was not very bright, but I was stunned when I saw Batu in the painting. I am very familiar with Batu. I can tell by his demeanor. There is no doubt that it is Batu. Of course, a good painter can draw such achievements, but the matter is related to such a weird experience, which makes people immediately think of the magic of people entering into paintings. I took a breath and walked forward. When I reached the painting, I almost had the urge to say hello to Batu. I put the painting under my shoulder, left the cellar, came out along the road, got to the car, put the painting into the car first, then honked the horn twice, and within a few seconds, I saw two red shadows running over. The three of us looked at the painting together, the female teacher and the elementary school students, the picture was originally very harmonious, but the addition of Batu seemed a bit nondescript, which made it extraordinarily weird. Liang Chenmei's expression was horrified, and she kept asking, "What should we do? What should we do?" My thoughts are also in a mess: "I know... very little about magic, witchcraft, and this situation..." As I said that, I shook my head. Due to the movement of my head, the angle of seeing the painting was also slightly different, and the angle of light was also different. For a moment, I had the illusion that Batu's head was also turning accordingly. Liang Chen reminded me in a low voice: "You said that you once saw a girl who was born with witchcraft power, and she was a super witch?" I nodded: "It's Dr. Yuan Zhenxia's friend." Meijing said, "Can we find her?" I pursed my lips and thought for a while: "Probably we can find her. I know her adoptive father very well. Even if she disappears, there is always a way to find her." As we said that, we all got into the car. The painting was quite big, and I held it up. On the way back to the hotel, I told them about Batu's situation, and they both exclaimed: "Could it be this time, again Three years?" I smiled wryly: "Who knows. It seems that people in the painting also have the taste of seven days in the mountains and thousands of years in the world." Just as I was talking, there was a very gorgeous big car on the other side of the road, driving head-on, and the traffic on the road was very common, but when this car passed by our car, it honked its horn loudly, and we still Before knowing what happened, the car suddenly turned 180 degrees, honked its horn, and chased after it very quickly. Liangchen Meijing let out a cheer, with a very happy expression on her face, I hurriedly said, "Stop by the side of the road." The two shouted: "Why? No car can catch up with our car." I pointed to the car behind: "It must be an acquaintance, otherwise, I won't press the car number, stop quickly." Reluctantly, Liang Chen drove the car to the side of the road, stopped, and the big car also stopped. The car door opened, and a tall, silver-haired Westerner stepped out of the car. As soon as I saw him, I quickly got out of the car. I know this man. He is the head of the intelligence organization of the Western Group. He is nicknamed "Mercury". Many people call him General Mercury. Although I have never met him, I have heard people describe him. He is a good friend of Batu. It is easy to understand the reason why Batu was in Mongolia and General Mercury appeared here, because Batu is a "cyborg". received by the instrument. On the contrary, General Mercury saw me and was stunned for a moment. He asked very politely, "Your Excellency is the guardian of these two little girls?" I shook my head: "It can't be counted. My name is Wesley. I think Batu must have mentioned me to you." Mercury was overjoyed—it is rare to see such joy on a person's face. He stretched out his hand, shook my hand firmly, and said repeatedly: "Great, great." He would be so happy to see me, naturally because he has extremely difficult things, and I have the ability to deal with difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he said again: "I only know that Batu is with two very interesting girls Together, I didn’t know that Mr. Wei was here, so that’s great.” I alternated my feet and jumped, otherwise, the weather is too cold, and my feet will be frozen: "Let's talk about it in the car, or go to my hotel?" General Quicksilver proposed: "Go to an institution under my command?" I immediately shook my head: "No, I have a habit of not having any relationship with any intelligence agency." Quicksilver glanced at me and said nothing: "Okay, let's go to your hotel, can you get in your car first? It can save some time and try to find out about Batu's situation." Of course I agree, I am more anxious than him, he got in the car, greeted Liangchen Meijing, introduced himself, Liangchen Meijing looked at him with great interest. Batu handed those tapes to me in such a secret way, and I naturally knew that he didn't want his superiors to know, so I waited for Mercury to get into the car, and pointed to the painting: "Look, this piece The matter is extremely weird, according to Liang Chen Meijing's narration, Batu may have been brought into this oil painting by a force." Shuiyin frowned, and I said again: "What's even more strange is that many people have seen the female teacher and elementary school students in the painting, but they disappeared mysteriously afterwards. This is a magical painting." Quicksilver stroked his face heavily with his thick hands, looking extremely tired. After I finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "Do you believe it?" I also touched my face: "It's not a matter of believing or not, but that such things are indeed happening." Mercury pursed his lips. In this situation, he looked very solemn. It seemed that he was considering what to say to me. I hurriedly said: "I am only interested in Batu personally. If there is anything related to intelligence work Don’t tell me about it, I don’t want to know at all.” When I said this, the beautiful scenery in front of me turned around and looked at me. I forced them back with extremely stern eyes. After I finished speaking, I warned them severely: "Two little devils! Listen, if you talk nonsense and come up with random ideas, we will cut off communication from now on." The beautiful scenery on a good day scared Nuonuo repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we just drive." Mercury looked bitter: "Then I really don't know where to start. Batu is an agent, and what he is engaged in is... well... the biggest spy war in human history." The car drove fast, but it was also very stable. I heard Shuiyin say this, and remembered that Batu had said the same thing, so I knew the situation was very complicated.I couldn't help sighing, to care about Batu, one must know what he is doing, it is inevitable, and one must know many secrets of the secret agent war. Quicksilver said again: "You said just now that you would never participate in the spy war, but you and Batu are good friends." I hurriedly said: "When I knew him, he was researching alien intelligence." Quicksilver inadvertently said, "The friendship between you and Nelson is good, and the famous Mrs. Gary also had a relationship with you..." I picked it up: "Now that I have added a general Mercury, it seems that jumping in the sea can't clean it up." Quicksilver was silent for a moment: "Then I start from the beginning?" I thought about it, then nodded, Liang Chenmei applauded immediately, and said: "I agree with your decision, it's okay." I sighed: "Don't think it's fun. What you'll hear later may be top secrets of the state. If you know such secrets, you could be killed at any time." I knew that such words would not frighten these two little guys, but I never expected that they would dare to pester me, pretending to have suddenly realized: "Uncle Wei is afraid of death, so he didn't dare to listen." Shuiyin turned his head away, held back his laughter, and pretended not to hear, I sneered three times with "hum hum hum".Liangchen said: "These three sneers are very interesting." Meijing said: "Yes, the first smile is to disagree, and the second smile is not convinced." Liangchen said again: "The third smile is to make you suffer a little bit later." Quicksilver finally couldn't help laughing, so I sighed and gestured to Quicksilver. Mercury said: "It starts with the famous plane crash ten years ago." I already know the details, but I might as well listen to Quicksilver again.But Liangchen Meijing is young, so they don't understand this kind of thing, and it is even more entangled to explain it. For example, to explain to them why a prestigious marshal escaped by plane, the cause and effect, it is not just a few words I can explain it clearly, so I put it in front of me: "There are many things you don't understand about what the general said, so you are not allowed to ask questions." Liangchen Jingmei pursed her lips, but she didn't refute. I looked at the general, originally I wanted to pretend that I heard it for the first time, but then I thought, I need to know something about such a sensational event, besides, I just warned Liang Chenmei, and I have already indicated what he is going to say , so there is no need to pretend. I said "hmm", "That one." Mercury's reaction was really quick, and he immediately said, "So Mr. Wei already knew the reason?" I was noncommittal, and Mercury observed me for a while, but got nothing, and then said: "After the news that the plane crashed and there was another large box of documents spread, one can imagine the sensation in all countries in the world. Anyone in that box of confidential documents The copies may be related to the overall situation of the world, everyone wants to get this person and these documents, so..." I continued: "Thus, the largest espionage war since human history began." Mercury took a breath: "Not only is it the largest, but it also lasts the longest." I didn't express any opinion, and Quicksilver added: "We sent Batu, Batu is already the best intelligence officer, just to be careful, before sending him on a mission, we... We implanted some devices in his head, Through the instrument, he can see what he sees and hear what he hears." Mercury spoke very skillfully, and I still didn't react, but his complexion was obviously not very good-looking, so he hurriedly added: "Everything... is all voluntary by Batu." I snorted: "Of course there are many ways to make him voluntary." Liang Chenmei laughed when she heard a "card", and Mercury blushed a little. I was a little curious: "Everything received through the receiver of the instrument is as clear as witnessing?" Mercury shook his head: "The voice is relatively clear, but the image is quite vague. Well, for example, these two little girls seem to be just two red shadows, and they move very fast. At first, I thought it was... two red shadows. Kangaroo, I'm sorry." Seeing Liang Chen's beauty, Shuiyin turned back and stared at him, and then hurriedly said "I'm sorry", seeing how polite he is to the two little girls, you can see that the problem in his heart is really serious, otherwise, why bother to please in such a low voice? I motioned him to continue, and he stroked his face again: "All countries have sent excellent agents, and everyone can be sure that no one is in the hands of Soviet agents..." I waved my hand: "Why so sure." Shuiyin said: "Because the Soviet Union also sent its best agent, nicknamed 'Old Fox', to operate on the Mongolian grassland." I laughed: "This kind of basis is too unreliable." Mercury said: "Yes, within the KGB, there are quite a few people with dual identities, and they all report unanimously that the highest authority of the Soviet Union issued a secret order to obtain people and documents at any cost—those documents, More important to the Soviet Union than the West." I spread my hands: "It is impossible for a person, especially an elderly person, to wander on the grassland without being noticed." Mercury looked rather embarrassed, but he still said: "Batu had a very strange experience. He reported that... he entered a painting, and the Marshal did the same. I saw the Marshal in the picture... and he left the picture..." (What Mercury said at the time was naturally much more detailed than what I am describing now, but since that is everything I already knew, I will omit it.) I said, "Of course you don't believe it?" Mercury's expression became serious, and he nodded: "We suspect that he was arrested as soon as he entered Mongolia, and he was 'brainwashed'; he became a spy of the other side." I was taken aback: "What did you... do to him?" Quicksilver shook his hands in a hurry: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing, just investigate him... quite a long period of investigation." I said sharply, "How long?" Mercury didn't dare to meet my eyes: "Three years." I snorted and investigated for three years, but Batu didn't know how he endured it.I asked, "How did it turn out?" General Mercury said: "What puzzles us most is that what Batu reported may be true, but the fact that people... can enter the picture is so weird that it is unbelievable." I smiled wryly : "Now, from Batu's point of view, he has entered the picture again." Mercury frowned thickly, and tapped his forehead with his hand: "It's the same as when the contact was suddenly interrupted last time." I was taken aback: "What do you mean?" Mercury said: "The image we received is not very clear, but some images can be seen in a blur..." Liang Chenmei said in unison: "For example, treating people as kangaroos." I hurriedly said: "Don't interrupt, the general is about to talk about a very important part." Mercury said: "Last time, before the communication was cut off suddenly, I received a picture, it was a large dazzling colorful cloud, spinning rapidly, it lasted about five minutes, it was very hard to imagine, what Batu saw during that time , and then received nothing." My voice hangs in the air: "This time, the same?" Quicksilver nodded, and his expression became more serious: "It's exactly the same, so I knew something unusual must have happened, and I came all the way, but he...he..."
