Xia Lei left quickly, and the four members of the Hospital Knights also changed their route and followed Xia Lei all the way out. ↖,
Xia Lei walked toward the bathroom, calling on the phone as he walked, "It's me, Xia Lei."
"I know it's you, do you want to ask me about the result? You are too impatient. They are still in a meeting to discuss, I will tell you the result tonight." Jacqueline Eva's voice came from the mobile phone.
"I'm not asking you for the result." Xia Lei lowered his voice, "My kidnappers are here again. They are following me in the exhibition center. I'm in danger, come and save me!"
"Don't be nervous, I'll send someone over right away!" Jacqueline Eva was also anxious.
"Hurry up!" Xia Lei hung up the phone.
The bathroom was right in front of him, but Xia Lei suddenly changed his direction and walked in another direction.
"Has he discovered us?" behind Xia Lei, a young black man said in Italian.
"This is impossible." Soran's tone was very sure, "He has never met us, but we have his detailed information. Alfonso, relax and don't create a tense atmosphere for yourself."
The black young man known as Alfonso wanted to say something more, but he finally kept his mouth shut. This was not because he thought Sauron's analysis was reasonable, but because Sauron was the knight captain of their team. Sauron's words were sometimes orders.
"Obayan, Jack." Sauron's voice was not loud, "You two go up from the right side and go around in front of him."
The two young white men nodded at the same time, then quickened their pace and walked around from the right side.
"Boss, are you going to take action here?" Alfonso said cautiously.
"We are not those old men who have to be careful when going down the stairs. If it was not them but us who carried out the task last time, would we have been in such trouble as we are today?" Alfonso's eyes flashed with a trace. With a cold and stern look, "His bodyguards are not around, so he is alone. This is an opportunity to catch him. As long as we catch him, we can get the holy object and give him the verdict he deserves." "
"But there are a lot of French police and soldiers here. If there is a firefight..." Alfonso hesitated, he was very worried about this situation.
"Alfonso, I don't see the slightest bit of knightly spirit in you. The sacred object is very important to us, and we must get it no matter what the cost. If we can get the approval of His Excellency the Grand Master, that is ours It's an honor. Those old men have been suppressing us and questioning our existence. Now it's time to prove our strength and chivalry to them." Such language seemed to add a halo to Sauron's head, adding more defense. Agility plus strength and magic attributes.
Alfonso stopped talking. He looked at Xia Lei's back, his eyes full of captivating light.
This is the power of faith. In the Middle East, such power would enable a man to strap bombs to his body and rush into a wet market.
Xia Lei quickened his pace.
In front are two empty exhibition halls, and there is a passage that passes between the two exhibition halls.
Xia Lei walked to the middle of the two exhibition halls and prepared to go to the right. But at this moment, two young white men came up from the other end of the group. He turned around, but two young men, one black and one white, also came behind him. With no way forward and no way back, he was suddenly in trouble.
Four members of the Knights Hospitaller quickly surrounded him.
"Follow us!" Sauron's voice was cold. He spoke in Italian.
"Who are you?" Xia Lei replied in Italian, looking very nervous.
Sauron said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense and come with us, otherwise you will die here."
"Are you French police? I didn't break the law, why should I go with you?" Xia Lei stretched out his hand and said, "Show me your ID."
Sauron gave the person behind him a look.
Aubayan suddenly put his hand into his waist.
This is the action of drawing a gun.
How could Xia Lei let him have a gun? Just when Aubayan reached his hand into his waist, he suddenly returned his hand and struck Obayang on the throat with his palm.
"Uh!" Obayang groaned, covered his neck with his hands, and staggered back. The throat was hit hard, the muscles in the respiratory tract automatically contracted, and the brain was deprived of oxygen. He lost his fighting ability almost instantly.
Xia Lei made a forward leaning motion.
Jack hurriedly backed away and stretched his hand to his waist, preparing to draw his gun while avoiding Xia Lei. But Xia Lei did not attack him, but suddenly reached out and grabbed Sauron's neck.
Sauron tilted his head to avoid it.
But this was still a fake move. Xia Lei's hand suddenly sank down, and he grabbed Sauron's pistol as if he were searching for something.
Wing Chun is best at close combat. The skillful empty-handed skills he learned from Qin Xiang made his ability to seize white blades with bare hands even stronger!
This series of actions seemed complicated, but it was over in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until Xia Lei grabbed Sauron's pistol that Alfonso and Jack pulled out the guns. But at this time, Xia Lei's gun was already pressed against Sauron's head.
"Don't move!" Xia Lei spun his right foot, and his whole body circled behind Sauron like a compass, while his right hand kept a gun against Sauron's head from beginning to end.
He grabbed a subtle time difference.
Although Jack and Alfonso had guns in hand, they no longer dared to shoot. Let alone Knight Commander Sauron in Xia Lei's hands, even if Xia Lei's hands were an ordinary hostage, they were not sure of shooting Xia Lei, because Xia Lei's body was completely hidden behind Sauron, and there was almost no shot. Angle.
"Leave me alone!" Sauron roared: "Kill him!"
Xia Lei said coldly: "Don't move, or I will kill him!"
Sauron's three men hesitated for a moment and exchanged looks.
"Execute the order!" Sauron's spirit was extremely excited, and his eyes were full of excitement. "If I die as a martyr, that will be my glory!"
Sauron's three men no longer hesitated.
Aubayan and Alfonso moved to Xia Lei's left and right sides at the same time, while Jack held a gun to guard the middle. The three of them cooperated quite well. Although Xia Lei controlled Sauron in his hands, he could not guard his left, right and back at the same time. Once Aubayan and Alfonso get behind him, his situation will become very dangerous.
"Put down your weapons!" Sauron sneered: "Otherwise you will die here!"
Xia Lei suddenly became nervous. He clamped Sauron's neck with his left hand and dragged him back.
"It's useless, put down the gun and follow us. You only need the things you bring out from the maze, and we won't hurt you." Sauron continued to use psychological warfare against Xia Lei.
"Let them stop!" Xia Lei said sharply.
Sauron sneered and said: "Don't be stupid, our understanding of death is different from yours. If you have the guts, shoot me and kill me, but you also know the result of shooting, you will die too, so let go..."
boom!
A bullet suddenly flew out from the muzzle of the gun and pierced his cheek. Blood and minced meat suddenly exploded from Sauron's cheek, and the white gums were clearly exposed under the torn face!
"Ah-" Sauron screamed. The power of faith cannot resist the damage of bullets, and this shot also took away his glory.
This was Xia Lei's response.
Don't dare to shoot
I'll just shoot it and try it!
Aubayan and Alfonso suddenly froze in their steps. Including Jack, none of Sauron's three men expected that Xia Lei would be so ruthless and dared to shoot and wound Sauron while surrounded by three guns!
"Kill him!" Sauron's mouth was bleeding and his voice was unclear.
"Don't move!" A heavily armed special forces soldier suddenly appeared and warned in French.
Behind him, a large group of French National Security Service agents and French National Gendarmerie special forces approached with guns. The gun is in front, the people are behind, the momentum is breathtaking!
This was actually the reason why Xia Lei dared to shoot. He had already seen the arrival of the French personnel from the reflection of the pillar head. If reinforcements hadn't arrived, he wouldn't have chosen to shoot. He would have tried to delay the attack for a little longer. With Sauron as a hostage, it is not difficult for him to do this.
At this time, Sauron's face had no color at all. This was not entirely the reason why Xia Lei ruined his face, but the main reason was that he came to perform the task with full confidence, to kidnap Xia Lei and get the sacred object, but he did not expect that he would be in a desperate situation in the blink of an eye.
"Put down the gun!" an agent of France's General Security Service shouted in French.
"Don't shoot!" Aubayan raised his hands.
Jack and Obayan also raised their hands, but did not lower their guns.
The three of them seemed to be still waiting for an instruction from Sauron.
A large group of special forces armed to the teeth surrounded them.
"Xia Lei, you will regret it." Sauron's voice was filled with hot hatred.
Xia Lei suddenly let go of Sauron, but his hand retraction was half a beat too slow.
Sauron suddenly grabbed Xia Lei's wrist, pressed down, and snatched Xia Lei's pistol.
Xia Lei slammed into Sauron's back and threw himself to the ground.
Sauron stepped forward, suddenly turned around, and fired at Xia Lei.
Click—
There was no gunfire.
Sauron was stunned for a moment, and then pulled the trigger again, but this time there was still no gunshot. Only then did he realize that the pistol had no magazine. He suddenly realized something, and his mind went blank.
Bang bang bang…
There was gunfire and bullets flew over like raindrops. Sauron's chest and head were immediately torn open. Aubayan, Jack and Alfonso were not spared and were beaten into pieces in almost a second.
The gunfire stopped.
Xia Lei got up from the ground. He looked at the corpses on the ground, a sneer appeared on his lips, and secretly said in his heart: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, there is no magazine in the gun."
He had unloaded the magazine seconds ago before letting go of Sauron. His technique was very clever, and Sauron didn't even see this very thief move.
This was the purpose of letting Sauron go, to kill someone with a borrowed knife. These knights of the Knights Hospitallers were dead, and the French intelligence agency could not dig out any information from them.
Agents from the French National Security Service and special forces from the French National Gendarmerie swarmed up. Several special forces used their guns to poke the bodies on the ground. The guns in the hands of those special forces had just been fired, and their muzzles were hot. Under such gun muzzle, the four corpses immediately gave off a burning smell, and the smell was unpleasant.
The four corpses showed no reaction at all.
Using the hot muzzle to check whether the target is dead is a cruel but practical method.
"Mr. Xia, are you injured?" A middle-aged French man in casual clothes asked Xia Lei.
"I got punched a few times by them, but I should be fine, thank you." Xia Lei said.
"Miss Eva is on her way. She will be here soon."
"Well, I understand." Xia Lei said.
It didn't matter to him whether Jacqueline Eva came or not, because he had already killed someone with a borrowed knife.
