The shadows were as fast as lightning.
Linda was caught off guard and rolled down the steps in front of her door. Her pajamas were rolled up, revealing a large area of white tender skin and tender flesh, as well as a secret scenery that could not be revealed.
A black cat leaped over her head and landed silently.
"Meow--" The black cat looked back at Linda, who fell to the ground with her limbs spread wide, and then left in a majestic manner.
"You annoying guy, you almost scared me to death!" Linda muttered and got up. Her white pajamas were dirty and her butt hurt from the fall. She lifted her nightgown up and glanced back at her ass. Her butt was not only dirty, but also broken, and a little blood oozed from the broken skin.
She was watching, and Xia Lei was watching too, and the picture made him confused.
She is very smart, but she is not a well-trained warrior or agent. She was clever in some ways, but clumsy in others.
Linda finally gave up on her ass, picked up the pistol that had fallen to the floor and went inside.
Professor Aman's home was originally dark, but as soon as she entered, there was light. The bright light suddenly dispersed the darkness and could be seen from far away.
"This idiot, doesn't she have any talent for being a thief?" Xia Lei was secretly worried for her, and he also accelerated his stealth speed.
The lights in Professor Aman's house suddenly went out again.
"You still have some common sense." Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He walked around to the back of the room and looked at Linda in the room through the wall.
Linda held a flashlight she found somewhere in her hand, and she used the flashlight's illumination to reach Professor Aman's study.
Xia Lei also moved under the wall behind the study to reduce the difficulty of perspective. Although there was only the light of the flashlight in Linda's hand in the study, he could still see clearly what was going on in the study.
The police drew a human-shaped pattern on the place where Professor Aman's body was laid. There were still blood stains on the floor, but the blood stains had dried. The messy things in the study have not been returned to their original places, and there are still books, papers and some random things scattered on the floor.
This situation is normal. It is impossible for the police to clean up the murder scene without solving the crime.
"Professor Aman, I hope that guy doesn't know your secret here. Don't worry, I will definitely crack the secret of the Iron Book, and I will definitely help the police catch the murderer. You are in heaven, please help me." Linda He made the sign of the cross with his hands and prayed over the blood stain left by Professor Aman on the floor. After the prayer she went to a bookshelf.
"What does she want to do?" Xia Lei was very curious.
At this moment, Linda reached out and pushed the bookshelf. The bookshelf moved slowly and slid to one side.
Behind the bookshelf is a small wooden door with a combination lock.
Linda entered the code on the combination lock, then opened the wooden door and walked in. The wooden door closed automatically, but it did not affect Xia Lei's perspective. After slightly increasing the intensity of perspective, the space behind the wooden door came into his sight.
It was a narrow secret room, which could also be said to be a collection room. There are some cultural relics and antiques collected inside, including Crusader armor and weapons, as well as religious-related oil paintings, and some antiquities collected from unknown places. The antiques and cultural relics were all in good condition, with no signs of being tampered with.
Xia Lei couldn't help but feel excited, "It has not been turned over. Is the Book of Iron still in Professor Aman's secret room?"
Linda walked to a safe and expertly entered the password to open the safe. The moment after opening the safe, she collapsed on the ground.
The safe is empty.
This result also extinguished Xia Lei's excitement. For him, if the Iron Book was still in the safe, things would be much simpler and easier. All he had to do was sneak in, knock Linda out, and take the leaf book. It might be despicable, but he would do it anyway. But now it seems that he has no chance to do such bad things.
After sitting blankly for a minute, Linda got up from the ground. She closed the safe and then left Professor Aman's secret room. Returning to the study, she looked at the blood on the ground again and whispered: "Professor Aman, don't worry, I will get the Iron Book back. I believe people from the Holy See will be dispatched soon, and they will help me. "
After saying that, she left the study.
Xia Lei also walked away. After walking a certain distance, he suddenly accelerated and ran towards the hillside with his legs. He had to get back to his room before Linda came home.
This operation was meaningless to him and Linda, but he finally gained something because he determined that the Leaf Book was another part of the Bronze Book. This harvest is of great significance to him.
Three minutes later, Xia Lei climbed up the hillside. He looked back and saw that Linda had also run out of the town. She returned faster than when she went there just now. She obviously didn't want anyone to see her going to Professor Aman's house. Withdrawing his gaze, he sped up his running speed.
Linda's house was getting closer.
But just as he was about to get close, Xia Lei suddenly stopped. Half a second later, his body suddenly fell into the grass on the roadside. The wild grass and vines on the hillside were so dense that they hid his body in an instant. As soon as he hid, Linda's door suddenly opened and four people walked out.
These four people are all white, with shaved heads, and wearing black hooded robes, but they are not Arab-style robes, nor are they the kind of robes passed down by the priest. Its style is like the wizard robes worn by medieval witches, which is very weird.
Xia Lei not only saw their bald heads hidden in their hoods, but also saw their guns hidden in their robes. These four men not only carried pistols, but also micro submachine guns. This is obviously no ordinary shooter!
Who are these four people
What were they doing breaking into Linda's house in the middle of the night
As far as Xia Lei knew about Linda, she was just an ordinary archaeological expert, and her participation in the Book of Iron project was only entrusted by Professor Aman. If these people are here for the Book of Iron, and the Book of Iron is no longer in her hands, what are these people doing here
He didn't have time to think about these questions carefully. He looked back and saw that Linda had climbed up the hillside.
At this time, the four people had a conversation, using Italian.
"Did the archaeological expert escape?"
"It's impossible, she doesn't even know we exist."
"Her clothes are still in the room and her passport is still in the backpack. Her plan is to go to the island of Malta and she will definitely take her passport with her."
"She also has a man's salute in her home."
"Is there something wrong with that man?"
"No matter if there is a problem or not, find them and kill them all."
"It seems like someone is coming down the hillside."
"It's the archeology expert."
"She seemed to have a gun in her hand."
"Don't disturb her, let's go back. Before killing her, I have some questions to figure out."
The four men in black robes followed and returned to Linda's home.
The plan of these four men in black robes was very simple. They would set up an ambush, capture Linda, interrogate her, and then kill her. If Linda didn't have the pistol in her hand, they might have rushed up. It was that pistol that gave Xia Lei a chance to solve the problem, because if the four people rushed to catch Linda now, he would not dare to fight with the four gunmen holding micro submachine guns without a gun. Go against it.
At the same time as the door closed, Xia Lei climbed up from the grass, risked his waist, and quickly ran down the hillside under the cover of the dense weeds. This time, his speed was almost as fast as the wind.
On the hillside, Linda said to herself as she walked, "Fortunately, I didn't ask Mr. Marley to accompany me. He did something disgraceful and failed. That guy really deserves to die. He not only killed Professor Aman but also failed." After taking away the Book of Iron... When should I contact the Holy See and seek their help? Hey, what a headache... "
But at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew sideways.
When Linda was alert, she had already been knocked to the ground by the "wind". To be precise, she fell down. When she came to her senses, she realized that there was someone pressing on her body. And she knew this man, he was Mare. She looked at Mare in horror, her mind going blank.
"Shh. Listen to me. There is a gunman in your house. I escaped by chance. You must not say anything. Just do as I say and we can both survive." Xia Lei got up from her body.
A night wind blew.
Linda suddenly felt a chill in her stomach. When she looked down, she almost died of embarrassment. Her pajamas had been blown by the wind above her belly during the process of knocking her down and being knocked down. There is no problem at all above, but there are all problems below.
Xia Lei reached out and pulled down her pajamas, then grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the grass. Without any more words, he took her and ran down the hillside.
Salutes and stuff are no longer important.
Xia Lei ran very fast. Under his leadership, Linda couldn't even think about running fast. She ran wildly after him, the night wind lifted up her pajamas, and she was dancing in the air. Her big white legs were moving, and her big white balls were shaking. The scene was really unbearable to look at. But she didn't care so much at this time, because Xia Lei didn't even give her a chance to stop holding down her pajamas.
"I can't run anymore... Is there really a gunman?" Linda looked back, but couldn't see anything. In her field of vision, her home was completely dark, and no gunman could be seen anywhere.
"Not just one, but four." Xia Lei said as he ran: "Please believe me, I heard their conversation. They want to catch you, interrogate you, and then kill you."
"Who are they?" Linda's voice was filled with panic.
"I don't know, they're wearing..."
Da da da…
Suddenly there was gunfire from behind.
The four gunmen had noticed something was wrong and gave chase.
The submachine gun's shooting range is two hundred meters, and Xia Lei and Linda were only about two hundred meters away from them. Bullets flew overhead one after another, making a whooshing sound.
The frightened Linda stumbled and fell to the ground. Xia Lei dragged her for several meters before stopping.
Xia Lei snatched the pistol from her hand and shot one of the gunmen in the body. Unfortunately, the pistol's range was only fifty meters, and the bullets he shot flew to nowhere.
"Get up and follow me!" Xia Lei gave up the idea of killing the opponent with a pistol. He picked up Linda and ran with her towards the town. While running, he shouted, "Terrorists are attacking! Terrorists are attacking!"
The gunfire from behind quickly disappeared.
The four gunmen stopped shooting, but Xia Lei fired from time to time.
The sound of gunfire and shouts of "terrorist attack" soon attracted the attention of the town's residents, and some houses turned on their lights. Later, some small town residents walked out of their homes with guns, some to collect money, some with exaggerated military rifles, and even Barrett snipers.
It is indeed a small town in Sicily.
When Xia Lei and Linda ran to the entrance of the town, the man in black robe disappeared on the hillside.
Not to mention, they really dress like terrorists. If they pursue them rashly, they will not face a Chinese man and a female archaeologist, but a town of Sicilian people.
