The plane flew through the clouds, shaking occasionally, and the ground was not visible, making it impossible to determine where it was. But it ends up flying to Sicily's Palermo airport, which is its destination.

A middle-aged man looked out the window at the sea of clouds and was distracted. His appearance looks very ordinary, and even has diǎn ugliness, but his figure is tall and well-proportioned, giving people a feeling of "a good body with an ugly face" that is not coordinated. In addition, he has a very friendly and comfortable temperament, so even if his face is not good-looking, he is still a character who makes people want to look at it twice.

This middle-aged man is Charré, who flew alone to Sicily, Italy.

Looking at the sea of clouds, he thought of a person, Zhu Xuanyue.

Where is she now? Has she been "preying"? Has she remembered anything important?

He wanted to know all of this, but no matter how much he guessed, he couldn't guess the answer he wanted.

He also regretted that he had driven Zhu Xuanyue away in the mountains and forests, and if Zhu Xuanyue was still by his side, there would be no danger in going to Malta Island this time. He didn't even need to sneak into Malta, he could have taken Zhu Xuanyue to the island of Malta with a swagger, and then snatched the protective suit from the Knights Hospitaller.

From the point of view of his personal interests, the shot he fired in his instinctive reaction was actually wrong, and it was himself who suffered, not others. But if he hadn't reacted like that, and hadn't fired that shot, the two innocent young workers would have died at her hands. He couldn't accept that happening.

There is no doubt that it is in his best interest for Zhu Xuanyue to stay by his side, because she is almost an invincible helper. But if he wants to defend this interest, he needs to sacrifice hundreds of innocent lives, and he would rather not have this interest.

Whether Zhu Xuanyue is a "predator" or a demon that is more advanced than humans, he is not easy to judge, but there is one diǎn he knows very well, that is, he cannot become a demon. And if he makes innocent people "food" for the sake of his own interests, then he is a demon. This is his bottom line as a human being, and he dare not cross it.

"Sir, I see you've been watching for a long time, there won't be angels outside the window, right?" a crisp voice interrupted Xia Lei's thoughts.

It was a blonde woman with blue hair, show △ "dǐng△" "diǎn △" small △ "say, .↙.→os_ (); There are a few freckles on the beautiful face. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, freckles and glasses that gave her a bookish touch, and she looked quiet and elegant.

She was Xia Lei's neighbor, and he didn't know why he thought of tranquility when he first saw her. The poor woman. Did she leave, or did she exist in a different way?

"Sir?" the blonde woman smiled, "You look sad, why don't you talk to me, you can forget some unpleasant things." After a pause, she seemed to think of something, then shrugged her shoulders again, "You probably don't understand Italian, well, when I didn't say anything." ”

Xia Lei smiled and said in fluent Italian: "I understand, miss, have you traveled in China before, and now you are back in Italy?"

Blonde looked surprised, "Wow, I didn't expect you to speak Italian so fluently." Well, I'm Italian and I live in Sicily. I used to do academic exchanges in China, but now I go to Sicily to meet a professor, and then I go to Malta. ”

"You're going to Malta too?" asked Charley casually, "Are you going for a tour?"

"No, it's to do archaeological research. And about religion and the history of the Crusades, and ......" She stopped talking about this, and she smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, we don't know each other, you must not be interested in those old things, I didn't cause you to be upset, did I?"

"Nope. Charley smiled, and he held out a hand to the blonde woman, "My name is Marley, and it's nice to meet you." ”

The blonde woman then reached out and shook Xia Lei's hand, and said with a smile: "My name is Linda, Linda Linda, I have a string of ancient wind chimes in my house, and my father gave me this name when my mother gave birth to me. ”

"Hello, Miss Linda. ”

"Hello, Mr. Marley. ”

Xia Lei smiled: "No, we know each other." I like cheerful girls like you, and I happen to be going to Malta as well, so why don't we go together?"

Linda was slightly stunned, "Do you want Malta Island too?"

"Well, yes, I go on a tour. I am actually very interested in the history and religious culture of the island of Malta. Xia Lei said.

"Really, that's great, I'd like to walk with you. Linda readily agreed.

"Well, Miss Linda, can you tell me about your archaeological research? I'm interested. ”

"Of course, what do you want to know?"

The two chatted hotly.

In fact, if he hadn't heard her say that she was going to Malta, Xia Lei's conversation with her would have ended long ago, and he wouldn't have talked to her so much. The reason why he was willing to meet her and offer to go to Malta with him had his purpose, and he also followed an archaeologist who was familiar with the environment and had a legitimate purpose to go to Malta, so that he would have more opportunities to come into contact with the ancient buildings and artifacts of the island. What's more, with her, his disguise will be more perfect.

With the in-depth communication, Xia Lei learned more about this Linda.

She is an employee of the Archaeological Antiquities Division of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, and she is in the same profession as Serenity, both are archaeologists. She herself is a devout Catholic.

When Linda asked Xia Lei about his occupation, Xia Lei said that he was a Chinese businessman who ran a small company that produced clothing in China. This is also the identity he has forged early on.

Time passed quickly while chatting, and it wasn't until the sound of the flight attendant that the two realized they had arrived at Palermo Airport.

The plane landed on the runway.

Charlei and Linda each dragged a suitcase to the pick-up hall. By this time, it was nearly dusk. The sky was blue, the clouds were as white as cotton, and the sunset was rendered blood-colored. Next to the airport, there are seagulls flying in the blue sky and white clouds. The scenery of Sicily is like an oil painting in view, and the feeling of being foreign is very palpable.

Walking into the reception hall, Xia Lei's left eye swept over, and at a glance he saw Arecio and Yelena who came to pick him up. Although Arecio and Jelena also wore human skin masks on their faces, he only had to move his left eye to see their true faces.

Arecio and Yelena's eyes quickly converged on Charleigh. Although the two of them do not have the ability of Xia Lei, they are both very experienced people, and the two can make judgments based on Xia Lei's height and weight, as well as the temperament on his body.

Leave the airport with Arecio and Jelena, go to Arecio's base in Sicily, and then take a boat to the island of Malta, which is Charle's plan. But on the plane, he had changed his plans.

Charlei dragged his suitcase towards Arecio and Yelena, and when he came to the two of them, he paused slightly, and during that pause, he whispered, "The plan has changed, wait for me to inform you." ”

Arecio and Elena were stunned for a moment.

At this time, Linda chased after her suitcase and said, "Mr. Marley, wait for me." ”

Xia Lei turned around and smiled, "I'm looking for you, the first time I came to the unfamiliar environment, I lost you." ”

Linda walked to Xia Lei's side, "Let's go, you don't want to book a hotel, stay at my house tonight." I have a spare room, which is empty and empty. You live in my house, and I can take you out on the streets and give you a taste of authentic Sicilian culture. ”

Charlei smiled and said, "That's great, thank you, Miss Linda." I'll treat you in the evening, whatever you want. ”

"Wow, I'm a woman with a good appetite. ”

"Hehe, I'm also a man with a good appetite. ”

The two walked as they spoke, and Arecio and Elena were left to dry.

It wasn't until Charlei and Linda walked out of the door of the pick-up hall that Arecio came up with a sentence, "What's going on?"

Yelena shrugged her shoulders, "You ask me, who do I ask?"

"What is a saying in Chinese?"

"Are you talking about heavy color and light friends?"

"Yes, that's it. Is this the case that the boss is now leaving with a woman?"

"Shut your mouth. The boss is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance and only knows how to play with women, which woman around him is not the best stunner? This woman is too ordinary compared to his woman to get into his eyes. There must have been a reason for his sudden change of plans. ”

"So what are we going to do? The boss won't tell us why. ”

"Didn't you see the woman following him? I've taken a picture of the woman. Yelena shook the mobile phone in her hand and said, "Won't you be able to guess the reason for the boss when you go back and let Sayim check the identity of this woman?"

Arecio grinned, his smile ugly.

Outside the pick-up hall, Xia Lei waved to stop a taxi, and the two left in the car.

Taxis drive on the roads on the outskirts of the countryside, and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance is as far as the eye can see. The nearby fields are full of grapes, but now that the grape picking season is over, the branches are empty.

"You are a very special person, Mr. Mare Mare. For a moment, Linda broke the silence in the car.

Xia Lei smiled, "What's so special about me?"

"You look sad, but you're very confident, well, your eyes are very deep, that's the embodiment of knowledge and experience. There's something very special about you, but I can't describe it. In short, you are attractive. Linda said.

Italian women are passionate and unrestrained, and such things are said casually.

This was the first time Xia Lei had heard a woman describe him like this, he was a little surprised, but also a little happy, he smiled, "Hehe, almost all I heard was the language of praise, thank you." However, we have only just met, and I am still a stranger in a certain way, but you want to bring me, a stranger, to your house, aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"

"Well, do you think I'm the stupid woman who would bring bad people home?" asked Linda rhetorically.

Xia Lei couldn't help but laugh again.

A woman with knowledge and experience can sometimes look at a man more keenly and accurately than a detective.

If people dare to take him home, will they not have some observation and thinking?
