Chapter 0745 - Ghosts?
The moment the voice sounded, Xia Lei's silk thread moved. His left eye jumped slightly, and all obstacles that obscured his vision disappeared silently.
The direction of the sound was the staircase, which was empty and empty.
Suddenly, a black cat sprang out from behind a vase next to it. Next to the vase was a branch of a leafy plant that had been trampled off.
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 in the slightest.
There were still branches on the ground next to the vase that were known to have broken off.
The sound was a branch in a vase broken by a black cat, not someone.
But even so, the nerves were tense and could not be relaxed in the slightest. He looked at the watch in his hand, and the woman who called told him to leave here in sixty seconds, and now another ten seconds had passed.
Who is that woman?
What is the nature of the danger she is talking about, and what level of danger is it?
How would she have known he was here?
How would she know what danger he would encounter?
Do you want to leave or stay here as originally planned and kill Gu Kewen?
These questions were tangled in his brain, and he only had thirty seconds to make the right decision.
Just give up, he is not reconciled. He had planned everything, and there was a rare opportunity in front of him, and it would be difficult to take out Gu Kewen without getting into trouble. But if you don't leave, if you are really in danger, where can you buy regret medicine at that time?
Xia Lei's gaze moved to the pistol in Hattori's hand.
But at this moment, the light in the study suddenly went out. Not only the lights in the study, but all the lights in this old villa were turned off.
Rustling......
A slight voice burst into Xia Lei's ears.
Xia Lei followed and looked at the door of the study.
Rustling......
The sound was closer, very slight, but it was still clear in the silence.
However, the strange thing is that Xia Lei obviously heard the voice, and the darkness did not affect his perspective vision, but he couldn't see anyone in the corridor outside the door!
The strange sound stopped at the door of the study.
A second later, Xia Lei suddenly activated and rushed towards the window at the fastest speed.
The door behind him was slammed open.
Xia Lei's body slammed open the window, and he fell to the ground with shards of wood and glass.
The moment before his feet hit the ground, Xia Lei's feet bent and his body tilted forward. With his feet on the ground, his body rolled forward, unloading most of the gravity. His body rolled against the ground, and his gaze moved to the second-floor window.
A thin figure suddenly appeared at the window.
His face was nowhere to be seen, and he was covered in a pitch-black robe. The robe resembled a priest's robe, with a hat that shone on her head and covered his face. What's even more bizarre is that his robes seem to absorb light, so much so that you can't see his face with his extraordinary eyesight.
The thin figure stood at the window, like a ghost from a dark world. He can be seen, but he is not real.
Xia Lei's body stopped rolling.
The black-robed man shook the window for a moment, and then vanished.
Xia Lei's left eye pierced the wall, but he was gone.
Who is he?
Xia Lei's back skin was cold, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. There were a lot of wounds on his body from the glass, but he didn't feel much pain at all. He didn't want to admit it, but fear really took over his body.
"Boss, what's going on?" Amanda's voice said, full of nervousness.
Xia Lei moved quickly, and said, "Do you see the man in the black robe? If you do, shoot him!"
"Where is there any man in a black robe?" Amanda's voice was full of surprise and nervousness.
Xia Lei's heart suddenly sank. He was sure that the black-robed man had just appeared at the window, and that Amanda was the sniper who was going to snipe Gu Kevin. Her gaze should have been in this direction all the time, how could she not see the black-robed man?
He suddenly remembered the scene when he was looking out of the door in the study just now, oh, the black-robed man was obviously outside the door, but didn't he see anything?
Could it be that the black-robed man really didn't exist? Just an illusion? But how could this be?
In the rapid movement, Xia Lei couldn't help but glance back again. At this moment, the black-robed man quietly appeared at the door of the living room on the first floor.
Still unable to see his face, the hood was not a face at all, but a part of the blackboard.
"See him?" Xia Lei roared, "Shoot him!"
"Boss, you ......" Amanda's voice was confused and questioning.
Xia Lei suddenly stopped and looked back at the black-robed man.
"Boss, what's going on, what are you doing? Gu Kewen is coming!" Amanda's voice was full of anxiety.
Xia Lei didn't seem to hear her voice, and his eyes were always locked on the black-robed man. He was extremely sure that the black-robed man was at the door of the living room on the first floor, and he could see it very clearly, but Amanda didn't see him!
The black-robed man suddenly moved, and he rushed out of the doorway, but then retreated.
What's going on?
Xia Lei subconsciously looked up at the sky above his head, and then at the street lamp overhead. The night sky is clear tonight, and the moon and stars are clearly visible. The street lamps overhead were also very bright, and many moths flew around the street lamps, casting a lot of moving shadows on the ground.
"Is he afraid of light?" said a thought that suddenly popped into Xia Lei's heart.
The black-robed man stood in the doorway and didn't move. I can't see his eyes, but he must have eyes, and his gaze has been locked on Xia Lei, and those eyes must be very cold.
"Boss!" Amanda's voice said, "the CIA's car is here, what are you still doing there?
Xia Lei came back to his senses, he moved backwards, and said as he went: "Give up the plan and retreat." ”
"Give up?"
"Give up, retreat!" repeated Charleigh. , his gaze was still locked on the black-robed man.
"Roger. Amanda ended the call.
While he was on the phone with Amanda, the black-robed man tried again to rush out of the door, but he retreated back into the door again. This discovery made Xia Lei even more suspicious that he was afraid of light.
"Why is he afraid of light? Who is afraid of light in this world?" Xia Lei thought of a skin disease similar to "solar inflammation", and then thought of "vampire". The possibility of the former existence is almost zero, because it is night, and the other party is wearing a black robe covering his head to his feet, even if he has a skin disease such as "solar inflammation", he will not even be afraid of the light of the moon and street lamps, right?
A seven-seater Ford Explorer suddenly drove up and stopped beside Xia Lei.
The car door opened, and Park Taeyong poked his head out of the window, "Boss, get in the car!"
Xia Lei ended his backward and left posture, turned around and got into the car.
Park Taeyong left without stopping for a second.
Xia Lei looked at the old villa through the car window, and the black-robed man was still standing at the door. He couldn't see the face of the black-robed man, but he always felt that the black-robed man was staring at him.
The black-robed man raised his hand, then slowly ran it across his own neck.
It's a murderous gesture.
After making this gesture, the black-robed man disappeared into the doorway.
Xia Lei's mind quickly replayed all the details of his encounter with the black-robed man, but he still didn't understand how the black-robed man entered the villa, and he couldn't understand why he couldn't see through the black-robed man's location at that time.
His greatest ability is his clairvoyance, and if the black-robed man can sneak up to him without being seen by him, then he's in danger!
This opponent was undoubtedly the most powerful and difficult of all the opponents he had encountered, and he couldn't even figure out the identity of the opponent!
Park Tae-yong drove the car off the main road and into a remote lane. No sooner had the Ford Explorer entered the trail than several Chevrolet Suburban SUVs sped along the main road.
The people from the CIA are finally here.
Xia Lei looked at the watch in his hand, and it was exactly 0:200 and 30 seconds. It took 30 seconds for the CIA's convoy to reach the villa, which meant that it was exactly 0:21 minutes from his previous prediction.
At 0:21, according to his plan, Gocowen would enter Amanda's sniper scope thirty seconds later. But he planned everything, but he didn't plan a ghost-like black-robed man, so his plan fell short!
"Boss, what's going on?" Park Tae-yong broke the silence in the car, "I heard your conversation with 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 black-robed man was definitely not from the FA organization.
Amanda didn't see that person, the other party must not be simple. Park Taeyong said.
"Be careful these two days and leave the lights on when you go to bed at night. Xia Lei said.
"Huh?" Park Taeyong couldn't help but glance at Xia Lei, "Boss, do you need to turn on the lights when you sleep at night?
Xia Lei nodded, "Very important. ”
Park Taeyong shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I'll sleep with the lights on, but I can't take care of those guys." ”
At this time, a shrill siren sounded from the direction of the main road. Xia Lei looked through the car window, and he saw a long line of French police cars, as well as special forces military off-road vehicles, which drove madly in the direction of the villa. This time he didn't look at his watch again, so what was the use of a fraction of a second? The plan to assassinate Gocowen had failed.
Park Tae-yong tapped the steering wheel, and the car drove into an alley. There were no lights in the alley, and it was pitch black. As the headlights dispelled the darkness, Amanda, Baguhe, Marcus, and Erdemutu emerged from the darkest corners of the alley.
Four people walked quickly and got into the car.
Park Tae-yong started the car again and drove through the alley in the direction of the Heart of Paris hotel.
"Boss, what just happened?" asked Amanda, who was sitting at the back.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I said I saw a man in a black robe, did you see it?"
Amanda shook her head. She looked at Xia Lei with worry in her eyes.
"Do you see it inside?" said Charleigh again.
Bagu shook his head.
Erdemutu shook his head.
Marcus shook his head as well.
Xia Lei spread his hands, "Then when I didn't say anything." Also, from today onwards, the lights will be on when you go to bed in the future. ”
"Huh?" Amanda was stunned for a moment, then said with concern, "Boss, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Charleigh, "......"
