The moment the sound sounded, Xia Lei's thread moved over. .xshuotxtHis left eye twitched slightly, and all the obstacles blocking his vision disappeared silently.
The direction of the noise was at the stairs, which was empty and no one was there.
Suddenly, a black cat jumped out from behind a nearby vase. Beside the vase there was a trampled branch of a green leafy plant.
A false alarm.
The black cat disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, but Xia Lei's nerves were still tense and could not relax at all.
There are still flower branches known to have been broken off on the ground next to the vase.
The sound just now was caused by the flower branches in the vase being broken by the black cat, not by someone.
But even after this, everyone's nerves were so tense that they couldn't relax at all. He looked at the watch on his hand. The woman who called asked him to leave here in sixty seconds. Now ten seconds have passed.
who is that woman
What kind of danger is she talking about and what level of danger is it
How did she know he was here
How could she know what danger he would encounter
Should we leave or stay here according to the original plan and kill Gu Kewen
These questions were tangled in his brain, and he only had thirty seconds to make the right decision.
He was not willing to give up just like that. He had planned everything, and there was a rare opportunity in front of him. If he missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to kill Gu Kewen without getting into trouble. But if you don't leave, if you are really in danger, where can you buy the medicine you regret at that time
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the pistol in Masao Hattori's hand.
But at this moment, the lights in the study room suddenly went out. Not only the lights in the study, but all the lights in this ancient villa went out.
rustle
A slight sound broke into Xia Lei's ears.
Xia Lei followed and moved to the door of the study.
rustle
The sound was approaching, very soft, but it still seemed very clear in this quiet environment.
However, what was extremely strange was that Xia Lei clearly heard the sound, and the darkness did not affect his perspective, but he could not see anyone in the corridor outside the door.
A strange noise stopped at the door of the study.
A second later, Xia Lei suddenly started and rushed towards the window as fast as possible.
The door behind him was knocked open.
With a crash, Xia Lei's body smashed open the window, and fragments of wood and glass fell to the ground.
The moment before his feet landed, Xia Lei bent his feet and tilted his body forward. After his feet landed on the ground, his body rolled forward, losing most of his gravity. His body rolled against the ground, and his eyes moved to the second-floor window at that moment.
A thin figure suddenly appeared at the window.
His face could not be seen, and he was covered with a dark robe. The robe was very much like a priest's robe, with a hat. The hat illuminated her head and also covered his face. What's even weirder is that the robe he wears seems to absorb light, so that you can't even see his face with his extraordinary eyesight.
The thin figure stood at the window, like a ghost from the dark world. He can be seen, but he is not real.
Xia Lei's body stopped rolling.
The man in black robe shook at the window for a moment and then disappeared.
Xia Lei's left eye pierced through the wall, but he was nowhere to be found.
who is he
Xia Lei's back was cold and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. There were many wounds on his body from the glass, but he didn't feel much pain at all. Although he didn't want to admit it, fear actually took over his body.
"What happened, boss?" Amanda's voice came, full of tension.
Xia Lei moved quickly and said, "Have you seen that man in black robe? If you see him, shoot him?"
"There's no one in a black robe." Amanda's voice was full of surprise and nervousness.
Xia Lei's heart suddenly sank. He was sure that the man in black robe had just appeared at the window, and Amanda was the sniper who wanted to kill Gu Kewen. Her sight should have been in this direction. How could she not see the man in black robe
He suddenly remembered the scene when he looked through the door in the study just now. Oh, the man in black robe was obviously outside the door, but didn't he see anything
Could it be that the man in black robe really doesn't exist? It's just an illusion. How is this possible
While moving quickly, Xia Lei couldn't help but look back. At this moment, the man in black robe quietly appeared at the door of the living room on the first floor.
Still couldn't see his face, it seemed that what was covered by the hood was not a face at all, but part of the blackboard.
"Did you see him?" Xia Lei shouted: "Shoot him?"
"Boss, you" Amanda's voice was confused and questioning.
Xia Lei suddenly stopped and looked back at the man in black robe.
"Boss, what happened? What are you doing? Gu Kewen is coming soon." Amanda's voice was full of anxiety.
Xia Lei didn't seem to hear her voice, and his eyes were fixed on the man in black robe. He was extremely sure that the man in black robe was at the door of the living room on the first floor. He could see it clearly, but Amanda didn't even see him.
The man in black robe suddenly moved. He rushed out of the door, but then stepped back.
How is this going
Xia Lei subconsciously looked up at the sky above his head, and then at the street lights above his head. The night sky is clear tonight and the moon and stars are clearly visible. The street lights overhead were also very bright. Many moths were flying around the street lights, and many moving shadows were cast on the ground.
"Is he afraid of light?" A thought suddenly came to Xia Lei's mind.
The man in black robe stood at the door and did not move. I couldn't see his eyes, but he definitely had eyes, and his eyes were always locked on Xia Lei, and his eyes must be very cold.
"Boss" Amanda's voice came, "CIA's car is already here, why are you still standing there? Do we still have to proceed as planned?"
Xia Lei finally came to his senses. He moved backwards and said as he walked: "Abandon the plan and retreat."
"give up"
"Give up, retreat" Xia Lei repeated. , his eyes were still locked on the man in black robe.
"Copy that." Amanda ended the call.
While he was talking to Amanda on the phone, the man in black robe tried to rush out of the door again, but he retreated back inside again. This discovery made Xia Lei even more suspicious that he was afraid of light.
"Why is he afraid of light? Is there anyone in this world who is afraid of light?" Xia Lei thought of skin diseases similar to "solar inflammation", and then thought of "vampires". The possibility of the former existing is almost zero, because it is night, and the other person is wearing a black robe covering head to toe. Even if he has a skin disease such as "solar inflammation", he is not afraid of the light of the moon and street lights. And the latter is even less reliable. There are no vampires in this world.
A seven-seater Ford Explorer suddenly drove over and stopped next to Xia Lei.
The car door opened and Park Taiyong poked his head out of the car window, "Boss, get in the car quickly."
Xia Lei then ended his retreat and left, turned around and got into the car.
Park Tae-yong puts into gear and leaves without stopping for a second.
Xia Lei looked at the ancient villa through the car window. The man in black robe was still standing at the door. He couldn't see the face of the man in black robe, but he always felt that the man in black robe was staring at him.
The man in black robe raised his hand, and then slowly crossed his own neck.
It's a murderous gesture.
After making this gesture, the man in black robe disappeared through the door.
Xia Lei's mind quickly replayed all the details of his encounter with the man in black robe, but he still didn't understand how the man in black robe entered the villa, let alone why he couldn't see through the man in black robe at that time. At.
His most powerful ability is his clairvoyance. If the man in black robe can sneak up to him without being seen through his clairvoyance, then he will be in danger.
This opponent is undoubtedly the most powerful and difficult one among all the opponents he has encountered, and he can't even figure out the opponent's identity.
Park Taiyong drove the car off the main road and into a remote trail. As soon as the Ford Explorer entered the trail, several Chevrolet suburban off-road vans passed by at lightning speed on the main road.
The people from cia finally arrived.
Xia Lei looked at the watch in his hand. It happened to be 00:20:03. It would take thirty seconds for CIA's motorcade to arrive at the villa, which meant that it was exactly the same time as he had expected, exactly 00:21.
At 00:21, in his plan, Gu Kewen would enter Amanda's sniper scope in thirty seconds. But he had planned everything, but he didn't plan for a ghost-like man in black robe, which made his plan fall short.
"Boss, what happened?" Park Taiyong broke the silence in the car, "I heard the conversation between you and Amanda on the communicator. Is that person from the FA organization?"
"I don't know." Xia Lei's answer was simple. But he knew very well in his heart that the man in black robe was definitely not from the FA organization.
"Amanda didn't see that person. He must not be simple." Park Taiyong said.
"Be careful these two days and keep the lights on when sleeping at night," Xia Lei said.
"Well" Park Taiyong couldn't help but glance at Xia Lei, "Boss, do you need to turn on the light when you sleep at night? Is this important?"
Xia Lei nodded, "It's very important."
Park Taiyong shrugged, "Okay, I sleep with the light on, but I can't control those guys."
At this time, a piercing siren sounded from the direction of the main road. Xia Lei looked through the car window and saw a long line of French police cars and special forces military off-road vehicles. Those vehicles were driving like crazy towards the villa. This time he didn't look at the watch on his hand. Even if the time was accurate to one second, it would be of no use. The plan to assassinate Gu Kewen failed.
Park Taiyong turned the steering wheel and the car entered an alley. There were no lights in the alley, it was pitch black. When the car lights dispersed the darkness, Amanda, Baguhe, Marcus and Erdemutu emerged from the darkest corner of the alley.
Four people came quickly and got into the car.
Park Taiyong started the car again, passed through the alley, and drove towards the Paris Heart Hotel.
"Boss, what just happened?" Amanda, who was sitting at the back, asked.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I said I saw a man in black robe, did you see it?"
Amanda shook her head. She looked at Xia Lei with worry in her eyes.
"Did you see it inside?" Xia Lei asked the others.
Bagu shook his head.
Erdemutu shook his head.
Marcus also shook his head.
Xia Lei spread his hands and said, "Then just pretend I didn't say anything. Also, from today on, I will keep the lights on when I sleep."
"Ah" Amanda was stunned for a moment, and then said with concern: "Boss, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Xia Lei, ""
