Chapter 18 15. Knight

The girl's resistance was stronger than expected. Although his companions strongly objected to his doing so, the mercenaries still forcibly dragged Wang Qingyi out of the rest room where she was held, and threw them on the ground. "You're going to cause big trouble..." The companion held a rifle and said with a sad face, "The major will shoot you." "She bit me!" The mercenary put his hand in front of the opponent: "This crazy girl bit me!" "I will give first aid... You see, let's lock her up first." "Leave the first aid to her!" The mercenary slapped Wang Qingyi with his backhand, and the girl let out a low "hmm". Because her mouth was blocked by a rag, her painful cry was blocked in her throat and she couldn't utter it.

"I have to give her some color!" The mercenary dropped his rifle, knelt down on the ground, grabbed the girl's wrists, and spread her arms to the sides: "...ah, she's too thin, not my type , but it's all the same." "You shouldn't be doing that, man, really, the Major is...he's most against..." "If you don't like it!" The mercenary raised his head and roared at his companion, "You can step aside and report me after I finish my work." The other party shook his head and turned his back. "Little bitch, wasn't it very intense just now?"

The mercenary patted Wang Qingyi's face: "You want to run, don't you? After brother and I finish having fun, you won't be able to run anymore." While struggling, Wang Qingyi suddenly noticed that behind the mercenary, there was another figure hiding in a dark corner. He was quiet and motionless, and his eyes were obviously wide open, but he seemed to see nothing. expressionless. It was Lin Feiyu. That nasty mercenary was groping all over his body, but he watched him being bullied, and had no intention of helping him at all—Wang Qingyi couldn't help being anxious and annoyed, she stretched out her hand to Lin Feiyu, and said, "No, no, no, no!" " crooned.

"Be honest!" The mercenary slapped her again: "If you don't move around, I'll be gentle, or I'll stab you to death, you little slut!" As soon as the words fell, Lin Feiyu's hand knife came, and the mercenary was cut in the neck, and he lost consciousness and passed out.His companion reacted quickly and turned around suddenly, but was also hit by the butt of the gun on the front door, and fell straight down. "You were by my side just now! Why!" As soon as she took the rag out of her mouth, Wang Qingyi cried loudly, her stubborn eyes showed sorrow instead of gratitude: "Why don't you hurry up and help me!"

"Quiet me!" Lin Feiyu suddenly showed a fierce look, stretched out his hand to pull the girl's hair, and pressed his forehead against her forehead: "Listen, little girl, this is your punishment for running around! If you are not too young, I'll just wait until he's 'finished' before saving you, you know what I mean?" "You...you..." The girl looked terrified, even her lips trembled tremblingly: "I..." Lin Feiyu tapped her chin with his index finger: "I hope you remember, never, never, never... never do things beyond your ability, especially when you don't know what to do, listen understand?"

Wang Qingyi gritted her teeth and nodded with tears in her eyes. "Okay, it's okay, as long as you listen to me, this kind of thing won't happen again..." Lin Feiyu stroked her hair gently: "Is there any injury? Can you go?" The girl adjusted her breathing a little, and after a few seconds, she slowly stood up: "It's okay..." She gently pushed Lin Feiyu away, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I can go by myself." Another girl who is stubborn enough to be pitied - Lin Feiyu feels that if every girl he meets is as strong as Aslan or Wang Qingyi, many troubles will be solved easily, and of course, many troubles will also arise Come.

"Come with me," Lin Feiyu grabbed the girl's wrist: "I'll take you to see your father." "Father?" Wang Qingyi frowned, "Whose father?" Lin Feiyu sighed: "Who else's father?" "Could it be my dad?" The girl suddenly realized: "Is he here? Is he really here?" In other words, when Wang Chaoxing saw her daughter being taken away, she did not recognize her—this is indeed the most reasonable way to do it when she is being held hostage, but if she has not undergone special training...or "see It is not so easy for ordinary people to do it.

"Keep your voice down," Lin Feiyu made a "shh" gesture: "Just follow me." "Lounge..." The girl pointed to the sliding door not far away: "There are other hostages inside." "Oh well, I appreciate your internationalism, but I'm not here to save them." Although she still doesn't trust the long-haired man in front of her, Wang Qingyi has no other choice at this moment. Lin Feiyu climbed down the stairs, caught the jumping girl with both arms, then stared with bated breath, and turned around a corner of the tunnel with his rifle in hand.Maybe it's heredity, Wang Qingyi is quite familiar with this sneaky way of action, she followed closely behind, pinching the corner of Lin Feiyu's clothes with her hands, taking every step carefully, even the sound of her breathing was well hidden.

Not seeing a mercenary, the two quickly returned to the tool room where Wang Chaoxing was held. The iron gate was wide open, but there was no one in it. Lin Feiyu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and checked inside and out twice - not only the hostages, but even the guard who had been knocked out before was gone. "You father and daughter..." This damn Wang Chaoxing family - Lin Feiyu scratched the back of his head, thinking that the father and daughter are a perfect match - they are all masters who like to cause trouble for others. "You, go in," Lin Feiyu pointed to the dark tool room and said, "Don't come out until I come."

"What do you mean?" Wang Qingyi's expression changed suddenly: "You want to leave me alone?" "That's what it means." Lin Feiyu turned his head and glanced at the girl coldly: "I'm going to save your father right away. I don't want to find you missing again after bringing him back." "Save my father?" The girl clenched her fists that were dripping with sweat, "...Where are the others? Where are they?" "I don't know, and if I know, I won't tell you..." Lin Feiyu pulled the bolt of the G36 in his hand, "Have you forgotten what I just said? Never do anything beyond your ability."

Although Wang Qingyi's face was full of unwillingness and anxiety, she was helpless.The experience of being almost insulted just now was thrilling, and his own insignificance is self-evident. Thinking about it carefully, Lin Feiyu's words really make sense. "Hide here..." She walked to the iron door of the tool room, looked inside, and an unpleasant musty smell came over her face: "...Is it safe?" When she turned her head again, Lin Feiyu had disappeared, not even a single footstep was left behind for the girl—gentlemanly demeanor is simply a luxury for Lin Feiyu now. He could only race against the clock—optimistically, the guy who took the hostages had left for at most three or four minutes, and this didn't include the time to extract the hostages from the tool room one by one, nor the time to rescue his companions.The biggest danger now is that the opponent already knows that someone has sneaked into the mine, so they will inevitably launch all-round vigilance and search every corner where they may appear-it is precisely because of this consideration that Wang Qingyi hides in the tool room, just like a veteran The "truth" that people often pass by word of mouth: "Two shells rarely land in the same hole." The structure of the Moria Mine is relatively simple. There are only two paths in front of the tool room. After using the method of elimination, there is only one choice left.Lin Feiyu returned along the same route he had sneaked in, moving quickly while looking for dark places to hide, stopping and observing for a few seconds every time he advanced a short distance, for fear of encountering an ambush set by the other party. The strange thing is that the mercenaries neither set up guard posts nor sent out patrols. The entire mine was even quieter than before, only the slight humming sound was still by my side, until the entrance of the mine could be seen. With half a figure. Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps—intensive and chaotic, emanating from the depths of the cave, blowing towards his face along with the cold wind. It's people, and it's a large group of people - this is very in line with the characteristics of "mercenaries with hostages". Lin Feiyu adjusted his breathing and walked along the narrow-gauge railway to the depths of the mine.Perhaps it was because of the landslide just a few days ago, there was obviously some water leakage in the tunnel, and the tick-tock rhythm kept lingering in my ears, becoming the loudest sound in the entire environment. The footsteps that Lin Feiyu was following gradually approached. After all, monitoring a group of hostages moving in such a narrow and dark environment couldn't be faster.He quickly caught the "tail" of the queue. They were two soldiers wearing black combat uniforms—not the black suits of ordinary mercenaries, which looked more shiny, a bit like diving suits. One of them seemed to have noticed something, turned his head suddenly, and looked back for a few seconds.In the dim light, his night-vision-geared face looked tense—fearful, even. He didn't see Lin Feiyu hiding behind a pile of rubble, but Lin Feiyu saw him clearly.This guy is thick-backed, holding an AN94, and wearing exquisite open-toed leather gloves. Obviously, he is not an ordinary mercenary, but he is somewhat similar to the commando team that attacked Chen Yang at night last night—that is, he was killed. Lin Feiyu wiped out the four unlucky bastards in one go. After estimating the number of opponents and the location of the hostages, Lin Feiyu felt that it was better not to act rashly.He quietly followed behind the queue, walking slowly in the tunnel.Contrary to previous expectations, the deeper you go into the mine, the more adequate the lighting will be. In some corners and spacious places, high-power spotlights are also placed. Lin Feiyu knows these lamps—the archaeological team often uses them Of course, it is also a must-have for some professional cultural relic dealers. The strong light source will create a large "danger zone", which makes Lin Feiyu's movements even more inconvenient.Just at this moment, the hostage team passed through a hole, and a suddenly open space appeared inside—judging from the stacked tools and equipment, this was once a major excavation point of the mine, and after being hollowed out, it was rebuilt into a Kind of like a transfer station.The railway tracks extending from several other openings merged here to form a single stream, leading to the main entrance of the mine along the track under Lin Feiyu's feet.It is conceivable that a few years ago—maybe just a few days ago—iron ore rough mixed with gravel and soil was gathered here, and the truckloads were pulled to the screening plant outside the mine. But now, there are no bustling labor scenes here. Instead, it is as quiet and solemn as a relic. Only some dull gunshots like drumbeats come from a distance from time to time. They are sporadic and sparse, and they can't break the safe order inside. Lin Feiyu quickly discovered something unusual—on the top of this open mining area, whether it was man-made or naturally formed, there was a small breach, and the dim sunlight passed through layers of dust and water droplets like a comb. , shining over the entire space. A mass of red light, or to be more precise - a large mass of red dust was transpiring and swaying not far away, Lin Feiyu's heart tightened, and he hurried forward a few steps, hiding behind a mine cart.Unfortunately, the figures of mercenaries and hostages just blocked the bottom of the red flame, and only some things similar to glass could be vaguely seen-they glowed with dazzling red light, filtered through the crowd, and cast strange lights on the tunnel wall. shadow. Lin Feiyu decided to find a place where he could see the "full view" of the cave, and there really was such a place here - just to his left, an elevator led to a platform high on the stone wall, from where he could not only have a bird's-eye view of the whole site, but also It can ensure that every corner is within the range of shooting. He crouched down and quickly ran to the elevator.This is an electric frame-type elevator. It will make a violent noise when it is started. It is obviously unusable. He looked up at the platform—it was only five or six meters high. Climb up. Lin Feiyu couldn't figure out the original intention of building this platform—maybe it was to dispatch mine cars for easy command, or maybe it was to monitor the mining progress and prevent laziness. But no matter what it was used for, it has now become an eerie mix of primitive materials and high-tech equipment.Metal airtight boxes in the shape of coffins are stacked here and there, most of which have been opened. On the delicate folding test tables, there are scientific research equipment of various styles—from the simplest beakers and test tube racks, to From the centrifuge used in high school chemistry class, to the high-powered electron microscope, honeycomb petri dish, and laptop computer, everything here can completely form a modern machine except for those instruments that Lin Feiyu has never seen before and cannot name. Biology laboratory. After the shock at the beginning, the things that came into view immediately were not so comfortable. It must have been the corpse of something—a monkey, or an orangutan, something human, but not human.They were disemboweled, hung or lying down, and placed in strange and disgusting poses on the small operating table. One is moving!Lin Feiyu's heart trembled, and he shuddered—there was a monkey whose chest cavity had been hollowed out, but its head was still moving!A pair of firefly red eyes seemed to be full of resentment and murderous intent. While swinging back and forth aimlessly, they met Lin Feiyu's eyes, making him tremble all over. He quickly lowered his head and hid himself behind two stacks of metal boxes. After calming down for a while, he turned his head away from the side of the box and looked at the test bench from another angle.Three people in white chemical protective suits are working hard, two of them are standing in front of the laptop on the table, sticking their buttocks and pointing at the screen, while the other is standing next to the "dead monkey" in an experiment On the side of the stage, there is a small piece of something similar to a test tube in his right hand, while his left hand is constantly operating on the instrument - Lin Feiyu can't tell what kind of instrument it is, in short, it is a bit like an MRI in a cancer hospital. But much smaller in size. This temporary test site was incompatible with the economic level of Paget Island itself, and it was obviously done by mercenaries—they were well prepared, not only knowing what they were here for, but also knowing what to do.Because of this, Lin Feiyu was even more convinced that there was a giant beast standing behind these people—a giant beast that was rich and bold.To be honest, if it wasn't for the appearance of Aslan, Lin Feiyu really thought that the Americans were playing tricks behind his back. After the two scientists standing in front of the laptop whispered a few words, they walked over here.Lin Feiyu quickly retracted his head, holding the G36 rifle tightly in his hand.The two passed in front of them and left the platform on the elevator. During this time, they were talking and laughing, chatting enthusiastically, but they never noticed Lin Feiyu who was so close behind him. Now there is only one scientist who is helpless in the whole test field, and it is easy for Lin Feiyu to take him down.He stood up cautiously, but suddenly saw three other people at the far end of the platform—they were standing on the edge of the rocky cliff, and the reason why they didn't see them just now was because they were blocked by the two scientists who had already left. The three of them had their backs to him, defenseless, empty-handed, and unarmed—at least no assault rifles. It stands to reason that it would only take a few seconds longer to bring them all down. but why?Why are you so nervous? Lin Feiyu could clearly feel his heart beating violently. He tried to breathe steadily, but found that he couldn't do it at all.He doesn't think he is a coward, but for some reason now, an inexplicable timidity is flowing through his body along the meridians, and a dark and cold voice is whispering in his ear: "Don't go there." Perhaps it was instinct, or maybe it was just nervousness, Lin Feiyu had a premonition of the danger twenty steps away.Even holding a weapon in his hand—a G36C assault rifle worth $3,500 with an infrared sight—he didn’t have the slightest sense of security. On the contrary, Lin Feiyu felt that if he rushed forward now, he might die I don't know why. Is there anything special about these three guys standing still?Lin Feiyu couldn't tell. If he insisted on talking about the characteristics, he could only find out from their clothes.It was a silvery white that was incompatible with the whole environment—the shawls, cloaks, and hoods, which seemed to be used only in costume dramas, were all covered in pure and dazzling white like frost and snow.This is obviously not the outfit that a mercenary should have. Frankly speaking, Lin Feiyu thinks that this is not the dress of a normal modern human at all. "Knight" - a familiar yet unfamiliar word flashed through Lin Feiyu's mind. This is not reasoning, but pure intuition: they are "knights", and these three people are the root of all disasters on Paget Island ——The so-called "knight" in the mouth of the mercenaries. From the back view, the man in the middle is tall and burly, about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a strong body, facing the wind like a tree.Although the people standing on both sides of him were dressed in the same clothes, they were obviously much smaller. Their thin and slender appearance looked like children who had not yet grown up. Just when Lin Feiyu was thinking about how to attack—or whom to attack, the big man in the middle suddenly tilted his head to the right, as if whispering something to his companion, the little guy nodded slightly, Then he stepped forward to the edge of the platform and jumped off. That's quite a feat!The height of the platform was at least five or six meters, and not just anyone would dare to jump down without hesitation—not to mention that he straightened his body and jumped forward lightly without any preparations. Obviously, If it wasn't for his mental problems, this kid must be a trained "professional". No matter who he is, for Lin Feiyu, there is one less object to deal with. Don't miss this opportunity!Lin Feiyu clenched his hands holding the handle of the gun tightly, awakening the courage in his whole body, and suddenly rushed out of the metal box where he was hiding, and rushed to the scientist in front of the test bench in two strides. He held his breath, and turned his face to the other side The moment he looked at himself for the first time, he hit the mask of the chemical protective suit with the butt of his gun. Before he could make any cry or groan, the poor scientist fell down, limp on the ground like a dead pig, and the small test tube in his hand immediately fell to the ground, making a slight "bang".Lin Feiyu glanced nervously at the two strange men in white robes not far away. They still turned their backs to him, and they didn't even notice the strange situation behind them. Lin Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and picked up the test tube the size of his index finger from the ground. This is a glass container sealed at both ends. Under the transparent shell, lies a small piece of red crystal like a fingernail—or some other ore fragments. The dim crimson light makes the whole The container glowed slightly, and looked like a small section of light tube. Lin Feiyu immediately thought of the "red dog" he met in Paget Town last night—the cluster of red crystals on its back was so similar to the little thing in his hand, except that it was different in size and quantity. It's just different.Reluctantly, he turned his head sideways and glanced at the monkey on the operating table beside him—its limbs were bound, its chest was neatly cut in half, and it was fixed on both sides of the operating table with steel nails. Although the guts had been removed and there was nothing in the stomach, the monkey survived.It drools at the corners of its mouth, shakes its head, and growls "hissing" from time to time. What's even more frightening is its pair of blood-red eyes, which are so ferocious that they can swallow people alive with just one look. After getting a little closer, Lin Feiyu finally found what he was looking for - on the inside of the monkey's already empty abdominal cavity, there were densely packed with countless small protrusions, like a layer of fine sand sprinkled on the flesh , and more importantly - they are all red. Lin Feiyu carefully looked at the test tube in his hand again, and stuffed it into his coat pocket, with a faint gloomy expression on his face.Although some details are still unclear, he already has a basic judgment on the whole incident - some kind of abnormal biological experiment is going on here, some kind of experiment that is completely incomprehensible even with Lin Feiyu's knowledge.In this experiment, the red crystal played a pivotal role. It could not only be attached to living things, but it could also resurrect dead people and monkeys - of course, in a way that was unacceptable to anyone.There is no doubt that no matter which country it is in, this is a living experiment that cannot be put on the table, not to mention the results, the process alone is outrageous enough. But why at Paget?Why now?What is this red crystal? The questions that need to be answered are still as intricate as a mess, and the simplest and most reliable way is to ask the "problem maker" directly.Lin Feiyu leveled the assault rifle in his hand, and slowly moved forward, until he was only five meters away from the two white-robed monsters, and when he was sure that they were still unaware, he lowered his voice and shouted: "You two, please put down the weapons in your hands, you are in trouble." If it was normal, Lin Feiyu's tone would be relaxed and teasing like a hippie, but due to lack of confidence, his voice trembled a little, and it sounded like raving when panicked. Before he finished speaking, the little man standing on the left turned around immediately, spread his arms, spread his cloak and cuffs, and used his body to protect the tall man's back. This move surprised Lin Feiyu who was already a little nervous—he almost Then a little bit to pull the trigger! Seen from the front, this strange man in a white robe looked even smaller. Most of his face was covered by the cloak, only his sharp and thin chin and the corners of his mouth that were obviously painted with lip gloss were exposed.With slender fingers, fair skin, and the looming exquisite figure under the white robe, Lin Feiyu felt more and more that this little man was a woman—and she was not very old. "Stand back, Mina," the tall guy finally said slowly after the first few seconds of silence, "He won't shoot." The voice was deep and hoarse, thick and magnetic, revealing the vicissitudes and stability that only belonged to middle-aged men. What exactly is it?This inexplicable palpitation?Lin Feiyu suddenly felt dry mouth, blood rushing, as if a chamber of magma in his chest was about to spurt out with his pulse, so that even his hands holding the G36 rifle began to tremble slightly. Is it fear, or tension?Lin Feiyu couldn't explain clearly. His mind was blank now and he couldn't think at all. It was like an innocent boy who saw a naked woman for the first time. This metaphor may be a bit weird, but it is very appropriate to describe him at this moment. The little man called "Mina" moved two steps to the side and retreated to the position where he was standing before, and the tall man who spoke finally turned around and lifted half of his face that was also covered by the hood Kong, facing Lin Feiyu who was pointing a gun at him, calmly said without panicking: "If I were you, you'd better keep an eye on your back first." Lin Feiyu's heart tightened, he instinctively felt that this was not a bluff, so he immediately turned his head and glanced behind—— At this moment, a silver-white large-caliber pistol blocked Lin Feiyu's turned side face, and the gunman was the third strange man in white robe who jumped off the platform just now. "Put down the gun," the soft female voice was as clear as a silver bell, but concealed a cold and biting murderous intent: "...I don't want to hurt you." The golden curly hair exposed from the hood stretches all the way to the high protruding chest. This girl holding the Desert Eagle is obviously closer to a "woman" than "Mina"—protruding forward and backward, with elegant movements, and a beautiful body. Exudes a strong perfume smell. Lin Feiyu knew very well that if he tried his best here, he would die meaninglessly.He slowly let go of the G36, let the rifle fall to the ground, and then raised his arms in a "surrender" motion.Unlike the "surrender" in front of Major Nada a few hours ago, this time it is really helpless. No regrets at all - he obviously met a real "master".Let's talk about the girl behind her first. She jumped off the platform, climbed back after a long circle, and finally disarmed herself. The whole process took only two or three minutes, and she was so light that even Lin Feiyu didn't notice it.Of course, what surprised Lin Feiyu the most was the tall guy in the middle. He found himself early in the morning, but he remained calm. He just ordered the girl to jump off the platform and played a beautiful "mantis catching cicada and oriole behind". Even Lin Feiyu himself didn't believe that he was captured alive, and he didn't even know who his opponent was.This seemingly dumbfounding scene convinced Lin Feiyu sincerely. He remembered Major Nada's words - "someone you really can't afford to mess with". "Okay, Jialin, you've performed very well, step back now..." Following the tall man's soft order, the girl behind Lin Feiyu put down the Desert Eagle in her hand and jumped back a small step. "It's enough to have Mina protecting me here," the man waved his hand: "Jialin, you go and arrange the evacuation of 'Sophia', and then command the remaining mercenaries on her behalf." "Obey, my master," the girl bowed respectfully, "'God so be'." Lin Feiyu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help repeating the girl's last sentence: "God wills it" - he must have heard this call sign somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Terrible silence surrounded Lin Feiyu. He didn't know why the white-robed man in front of him didn't say a word, but just stood there in a daze, let alone why he felt afraid in this situation—feeling that he felt a sense of guilt from within. External, visceral fear. "Job Chapter 14, Verse 5..." The white-robed man took a step forward, and muttered softly as if talking to himself: "'Since a man's days are limited, his months are with you. And you have set his bounds, that he may not go beyond.'” It's Chinese, and it's extremely fluent Chinese, as if it's purposely speaking to Lin Feiyu. The voice was not ups and downs, but it was sonorous and powerful, full of energy.Compared with the excerpts from the Bible muttering to himself, Lin Feiyu paid more attention to the way the weird man in front of him talked - unruly, elegant, cynical free and easy mixed with heavy vicissitudes, as if he had seen through everything in the world without any worries, and As if being fettered by some important person and preoccupied. "It's...you?" Lin Feiyu's eyes widened, with undisguised surprise written on his face. Now, he finally understood why he lost his composure—in Lin Feiyu's 24 years of life, he only knew one person with such a voice. He has saved his own life—and tried to kill Lin Feiyu several times—and almost succeeded. He is both a mentor and a sworn enemy. , is the most glorious legend and the most terrible failure in the history of the National Security Agency, the devil that many people cursed with gnashing teeth. "Fate is determined by God. It is the shackles that God put on everyone's head before he created them." The white-robed man slowly raised his hands and stroked the edge of the hood. "There is no such thing as 'fate' in English." Words, if there are, it must be to lament the magic of fate... just as if you met me then, just as if I met you today—” He snapped off the hood very simply, revealing a sharp-edged and unkempt face.Black pupils, black hair tips, and yellowish skin, this is a typical appearance of an oriental person. If you look carefully, although he is not a handsome man, he is still heroic and suave. "Lin Feiyu..." He smiled faintly, "Long time no see." "Cold..." Lin Feiyu almost gasped: "Leng Bing?" He has a painful expression, like a stick in his throat: "This...how is this possible?"
