697.Chapter 697: A Special Mission

Monica prepared a new ID card for Xiao Mo, and the bank card was also filled with enough money, even if she was wandering and traveling outside in her life, she would have no worries about food and clothing.

After leaving Paris, Mo went to Sri Lanka, a small country with a warm climate.

During the day, the sea breeze blows, looks at the sea, looks at the sea calmly, and thinks about his life experience...... She found that she still couldn't forget Leng Xiao. In addition to the mystery he left her, there are also some emotional bonds. People who have had friends of life and death are not so easy to wear.

At night, she began to look for the shadow of the cold owl on the Internet, and she knew that if he wanted to come to her, it would be an easy thing, and if he didn't want to come to her, then she would never see him.

For a whole month, she used her previous network to find out Leng Xiao's whereabouts, but no matter how she checked, she couldn't find it, and it was impossible for a person to live in this world without leaving clues.

She could even find out all the information about the bodyguards around Old Man Long before his death, but there was no cold owl, as if he had never saved zĂ i.

The more she investigated, the more chills she felt in her heart, and in the last retired veteran's organization, she found a photo, which was the shadow of a group of soldiers on duty during the war in Afghanistan, with the war-torn desert in the back, several soldiers leaning next to a tank, everyone looked tired, and the war wore out his will.

Xiao Mo carefully found that a silver chain was exposed on the neck of the cold owl in the photo, which was the chain hanging on the six shuttle stars. When she zoomed in on the photo, she also noticed that the other two soldiers seemed to have this silver chain around their necks, and she suddenly panicked.

Leng Xiao once said that these six shuttle stars are relics left by his father, and they are the clues to the destruction of the family, which should be unique. Why do all these soldiers have it?

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, and she followed the clues of the group of soldiers, and finally found the news about the soldiers who rushed to Afghanistan for the first time on a website called the Gathering of Veterans Who Fought for Justice. And Leng Xiao's name actually appeared in the death list, she couldn't believe her eyes. Refusing to give up, he followed the clues and finally found that among the soldiers, there was a veteran named Charlie who still survived, and he settled in Sri Lanka after retiring.

With all kinds of mixed feelings, she went to visit the veteran late at night......

Sri Lanka is a very wealthy small country, and the island is built idyllicly, and in the hazy moonlight, she knocks on the door of this very ordinary-looking resident.

The door was opened silently, Xiao Mo pushed the door in, and after entering, there was no light in the room at all, and it was pitch black.

"Anyone?" she called out in English.

Quietly, without a sound at all, no one answered her, as if it were a silent grave.

"Bang!"

The door behind her was shut, and Xiao Mo turned around suddenly, and at this moment, a hard muzzle slammed against the back of her head.

"Don't move, or I can't guarantee that my guy will go off!" a muffled threatening voice rang in her ears, as if to confirm his words, he pushed the muzzle of the gun again, causing her scalp to ache.

Xiao Mo raised his hands, "Don't be nervous, I don't have any malice, I don't have a weapon......"

Hearing the voice of a woman, the other party pondered for a few seconds, let go of her, and pressed the switch on the wall.

After a snap, the room lit up.

When Xiao Mo saw the appearance of the man in front of him clearly, he was suddenly frightened and took a few steps back, and what he saw from the photo was a young and handsome American soldier, and in front of him was a decadent and hideous face, half of his skull seemed to have been cut off by a knife, and the deformed head made all his facial features look hideous and twisted, very terrifying, like a demon in a horror movie.

Charlie was not surprised by Xiao Mo's reaction, but was very calm, "Scared, right? Tell me, which newspaper are you a reporter for?"

"Reporter?" Xiao Mo shook his head. "Why do you think I'm a journalist?"

"It's either a reporter or a spy, how many years have it been, and the higher-ups still refuse to let us go? Look at this face, what else can it do?" Charlie sat down by himself, but the muzzle of the gun in his hand was still pointed at Xiao Mo.

"Well, you're mistaken, I'm not a journalist, and I'm not a spy. I am shocked by what happened to you, and I came here today mainly to find someone......"

"Looking for someone, then you're looking for the wrong person, and all the people I know are dead......"

Xiao Mo took out a photo from his pocket and put it in front of Charlie, "He reads;!"

This photo was taken when Xiao Mo and Leng Xiao were living in S City, he was wearing a black vest, full of manly flavor.

Charlie looked at the photo with a trembling hand for a long time, then looked up at Xiao Mo for a long time, and the photo in his hand floated to the ground, his eyes were deeply shocked, and he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.

"When was this photo taken?"

"About three months ago...... Do you know him?" Xiao Mo said calmly.

"It's him, it's him...... Isn't Green? How is that possible, this is impossible. Charlie let go of the pistol, and muttered bitterly with his head in both hands, as if remembering something painful.

"Green?" Xiao Mo silently thought back, as if he had seen this name somewhere.

"So, you must still know this?"

Xiao Mo took out another photo, which was a magnified image of the hexagonal star she had taken. When Charlie looked at the photo, tears flowed down his face, and his expression was even more painful.

Seeing Charlie fall into painful memories and couldn't extricate herself, Xiao Mo stood quietly beside him, and only after he calmed down did she ask, "Three months ago, I was with him...... It's what you said about Greene who escaped from Hesdy prison together, and then something unpleasant happened, and I can't find his person now. I found your information from the Internet and hope you can help me. ”

It took a long time for Charlie to calm down, and he wiped his tears with a tissue, "It was a terrible nightmare, and I was with Green, Robert, and William...... The five of us are not ordinary soldiers, we are special forces, and we entered Afushi to participate in a special mission. Our group is called the Falcon Column, and this statue of a hexagonal star carved with the head of a falcon is a sign of our internal identification, because the mission is particularly secret...... Terrible war, half of my head was blown off by shells. Over the years, although I have left the battlefield in Afghanistan, every night, I dream that I am on the battlefield, with the remains of corpses everywhere, the dust from shells everywhere, and the souls of my comrades crying......"

Xiao Mo listened quietly, she always had an attitude of rejection of war, she once thought that today, when human civilization is highly developed, there will be no more wars, but in the Middle East, war is still ......

"During our mission, we were captured by a group of local Afghan soldiers, who kept us in a dark dungeon, and the five of us took turns to be tortured...... You have never seen that horrible scene, the smell of blood still can't be waved in my mind, and the memories of that time are quite confusing, or in a coma, and when you are awake, you will be tormented by pain. I don't know why, the mission we carried out was known by a high-ranking officer in Afghanistan, who wanted to get clues about the mission from our mouths, so he tortured us endlessly. We refuse to confess, no matter what means they use. Later, they took us into a room, put a black sack over Green's head, and warned us to kill him if we didn't say anything more. We are all specially trained team members, and we understand that even if we die after a mission fails, we must not divulge it...... So, I watched as they executed Green. After Green's death, no one would speak, and they went on to shoot Robert and William...... It was a nightmare, and you could understand the feeling of seeing your comrades-in-arms fall in a pool of blood?" Charlie's voice trembled, his eyes glistened with tears, and his whole person was immersed in a great grief......

Xiao Mo looked at him silently, she knew that any words of comfort at this time would be extremely pale, and some spiritual wounds would never heal.

"When it was Mario's turn at the end, I almost broke down...... Suddenly there was an explosion, and I learned afterwards that it was friendly forces that had come to our rescue. Little Mario was blown up in a pile of rocks, and although I lost half of my brain, I survived. Charlie's voice trembled.

Xiao Mo nodded silently, "You are lucky." ”

"Lucky...... Hehe, this word should not be used on me, I think it is only natural that I should die on the battlefield with my comrades. Living like this without being a ghost is like a walking corpse, dreaming of the tragic situation when your comrades die every night, and you can't imagine the painful feeling. ”

"So...... You said you saw Green being executed? Are you sure he's dead?"

"Yes, he is indeed dead, I am a soldier, I still don't know what death is? The bullet used to pierce his head, and his brain exploded, can he not die like that?" said Charlie with great certainty.

Xiao Mo instantly understood why Charlie was so frightened when he saw Leng Xiao's photo......

"Are you sure Green is the person in this picture?"

Xiao Mo picked up the photo that fell on the ground and confirmed it for him again, she was actually very shocked in her heart, she didn't believe that she had been with a ghost for so long......
