Chapter 569: Scarlet Monastery (Part II)
In the slums of St. George, full of dilapidated and illegal buildings, Paul's Abbey, with its long history, is a breath of fresh water in the muddy swamps, and its architectural style is rigorous and solemn, with a distinctly European character.
However, the gangsters who took Paul's Convent for themselves obviously did not have the concept of protecting cultural relics, and in addition to the main chapel, most of the attached prayer rooms, HOS, dining rooms and other buildings were dilapidated and full of rubbish.
The fountain pool in the small open-air square in front of the chapel had been bulldozed to set up a rudimentary stage with acoustic instruments on it, and a guy with dreadlocks was busy in front of the mixer.
Hundreds of men and women gathered around the stage, some shaking their heads to the rhythm of the music, some hugging each other as if no one was around, some smoking hemp, and some playing with firearms and weapons.
There was a strange smell in the air.
When Zuo Yi followed a few members of Hellfire into the monastery, many people cast their eyes on him.
Surprised, curious, ridiculed, indifferent, hideous...
"Wait here. ”
The tattooed man dropped a sentence and strode into the chapel.
Zuo Yi stayed in the small square, guarded by two gangsters.
While waiting for the tattooed man to come back, some Hellfire members came over and asked them a few words, and then looked at Zuo Yi with a meaningful look in his eyes.
It's like a hunter who has seen a fat prey.
After four or five minutes, a man in a plaid shirt came out of the chapel in a hurry, followed by the tattooed man.
"You're here to ransom people?"
The figure of the checkered shirt is thin and thin, and his height is only one meter seven, he came to Zuo Yi with a step that his six relatives did not recognize, raised his chin and asked arrogantly, "Did you bring the money?"
Two fierce men with tigers and bears stood behind him, staring at Zuo Yi.
"Brought. ”
Zuo Yi patted the backpack he was carrying and asked, "What about people?"
"You're so bold. ”
The checkered shirt showed a weird smile: "You are the first Great Xia person who dares to appear here." ”
He speaks English well, at least much better than the tattooed man.
"There is a first time for everything. ”
Zuo Yi said lightly: "Trade now." ”
The checkered shirt glanced at Zuo Yi deeply, as if to remember his appearance in his mind, and raised his hand and waved.
Soon two men with black cloth bags on their heads were escorted by the Hellfire members, and the checkered shirts ripped off the cloth bags.
"Ahh
Both of them screamed at the same time, their eyes suddenly stimulated by the bright light, and they both showed frightened looks.
Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years, Zuo Yi still recognized the identities of the two at a glance.
Gu Yunxi's parents Gu Kai and Zhang Yun!
He nodded, unzipped his backpack, and pulled Tyke out of the ⊙) (⊙o⊙) (⊙o⊙) (⊙o⊙)
The surrounding Hellfire members were dumbfounded - what the hell is this?
Woof!
Tyke barked, and the wad of hundred-dollar bills in his mouth immediately fell back into his backpack.
Zuo Yi casually threw this guy to the ground, and then threw the heavy backpack to the checkered shirt.
Although the checkered shirt looked weak, his skills and reflexes were not bad, and he grabbed the backpack.
Glancing at the dollars stuffed with more than half of his backpack, he weighed the weight, a satisfied smile on his face.
Zuo Yi said: "Let people go." ”
The corners of his checkered shirt tugged, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Hmm." ”
The two Hellfire members pushed hard, pushing Gu Kai and Zhang Yun towards Zuo Yi.
The two of them staggered forward and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Zuo Yi's eyes were quick and he held on to the left and the right at the same time.
"Uncle, auntie, are you all right?"
At this time, Gu Kai's eyesight recovered a lot, and looking at Zuo Yi who was holding him, he couldn't believe his eyes: "You, you are Zuo Yi?"
When Zuo Yi and Gu Yunxi were in love, Zuo Yi and her parents had met several times, and Gu Kai had a very deep memory of Zuo Yi, the guy who almost took off the pearl in his palm.
Therefore, although Zuo Yi is much more mature now than back then, he still recognizes it.
"Zuo Yi, why are you?"
Zhang Yun, who also regained her eyesight, was also extremely shocked: "What about Yaoming?"
"Let's not talk about that. ”
Zuo Yi said: "I'll send you back." ”
Gu Kai and Zhang Yun came to their senses, looked at the surrounding Hellfire members in fear, and nodded busily.
Since they were kidnapped yesterday, they are frightened and frightened, they can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, and they can't wait to get out of danger.
However, when Zuo Yi turned around with the two of them and was about to leave, several Hellfire members with weapons blocked the door!
The gangsters had a sinister smile on their faces, and their eyes were full of sarcasm.
Zuo Yi frowned, turned to the checkered shirt and said, "I have already paid the ransom, is there any more problem?"
The checkered shirt smiled.
He touched his chin, slowly pulled a cigar out of his jacket pocket, bit off the cap and held it in his mouth, then grabbed a stack of dollars from his backpack and pulled out one and tucked it between his fingers.
Smack!
A nearby Hellfire member lit the lighter, and the checkered shirt leaned over the dollar bill between his fingers and lit it, and then used the burning dollar bill to set the cigar in his mouth on fire.
Throwing the stack back into the backpack he was holding, he took a beautiful puff of his cigar, exhaled his smoke and said, "I just ordered it, and the ransom is not the right amount, one is missing, so you can't go." ”
Gu Kai and Zhang Yun, who thought they had escaped, were stunned.
They never expected that the other party would be such a scoundrel and would not let go after paying the ransom.
Zhang Yun's tears flowed out: "How can you do this?"
The Hellfire members around them all laughed!
The checkered shirt also laughed strangely with "quack": "Who made you Daxia people so rich!"
Having money is the original sin!
"Since you don't follow the rules..."
Among all the people present, the only one whose expression did not change was Zuo Yi: "Then you must have the consciousness of responsibility." ”
As soon as his words fell, Gu Kai and Zhang Yun immediately felt that they were being lifted up by an invisible force, and they were involuntarily lifted into the air in an instant.
Wow~
Just as the two of them were so frightened that they thought they were about to fall to the ground, a huge griffin appeared out of thin air, just holding them on their backs.
With a flick of its wings, the griffin instantly rose to a height of hundreds of meters!
This time it was Hellfire's turn to be confused, and it felt like a dream what had just happened.
It's so unreal.
And at this moment, Zuo Yi's voice sounded in everyone's ears: "I declare that you are guilty!"
