It was no one else who walked up the stairs from downstairs, it was Beixue and Vaughn who had returned talking and laughing, Beixue saw us at the door of the room and said with a smile: "Young people nowadays, you can linger unscrupulously whenever and wherever you want!" ”

Vaughn smiled and said, "In the city of Langman, how can you not make people feel Langman?" ”

I faced their ridicule and put on an indifferent attitude and said, "What's the big deal, I'm afraid you'll come back early, so being at the door is the best place."

Alice's face was tender, she turned around and took the key in my hand and pushed the door in, Besher and Vaughn followed, and Vaughn patted me on the shoulder after falling and said, "Did you have a good day?" ”

I nodded and said casually: "The scenery here is so beautiful, looking at your elated expressions, there must be a lot of gains?" ”

Vaughn was about to answer, but Beixue in the room said to us, "Come in quickly, what do you say at the door?" ”

Vaughn and I looked at each other and smiled, and after we sat down on the sofa in the hall of the room, I noticed that there were more bags of clothing on the coffee table, and there were a lot of newly bought clothes in them, and before I could ask why, Beixue first said: "Today Vaughn and I went to the Louvre and investigated a few places where we thought the diamond might exist, but I couldn't find a name in the official introduction or the internal collection The Dead Sea's Hope's diamond, of course, this has been expected by me, since this thing is very important, how can it be casually presented to the world, however, we have already thought of how to verify it, and when we visited the Louvre today, we found that the security measures are not as strict as we imagined, so it should be no problem to install special cameras. ”

I asked, "What camera can be pressed there?" ”

Vaughn said confidently: "This is the convenience of our work for the government department, we have all the advanced equipment, do you know why I came to Paris in the first place?" ”

Vaughn took out a semi-metal and semi-glass ball the size of a sugar pill from his jacket pocket and explained: "This is one of the devices I prepared in advance, which is the latest reconnaissance and detection ball, which can not only cast inductive radio waves with wavelengths and frequencies beyond the conventional, but also monitor the 360-degree viewing range, just put it in an unnoticed corner, you can monitor the opponent's situation in all directions, and you can also receive sound and release interfering radio waves to prevent the opponent's anti-reconnaissance ability." ”

I took the ball and looked at it carefully, and asked incredulously, "Just such a small thing has such a huge function?" ”

Vaughn finally opened the room that belonged to him, which had already installed five LCD screens, as well as an radio wave jammer and radio wave reconnaissance display, he said: "I said that this is the surprise for you, today we secretly hid a camera in the Oriental Art Museum, and at this time we can observe the internal situation, however, this equipment has just been developed, and it still needs fine debugging." ”

When Vaughn sat in front of the screen, we gathered around and looked at the screen together, the screen flashed again and again, and then the images appeared, only to see five screens in five different positions, two images did not know what object was blocked, the other screen presented an aisle, the next screen reflected a beam of light, an unknown picture scroll under the light, and the last screen passed through the aisle to reflect an old bamboo slip in the glass case opposite the other end.

Alice exclaimed, "Where is this?" ”

Beixue smiled: "This is what I put on the ground under a picture of the Orient at random, there is an introduction table under the painting, I stuffed the camera in the gap of the introduction table, so there are two aspects that cannot be seen, the most important thing about this lens is not to monitor the other party, but after we dive in, Vaughn can remind us in time whether the danger is coming." ”

At this time, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the amplifier of the instrument, and two small green dots were detected on the radio reconnaissance display like radar, and Vaughn explained: "This instrument can use the thermal device to detect the faint heat released by the human body temperature, and I guess that at this time it is two patrol guards, carrying out routine inspections." ”

Sure enough, moments after the last screen, two figures were seen walking by, they were wearing gray uniforms, and since the camera could not move, they could not track the shooting, and could only see two green dots gradually disappearing from the detection range from the radio reconnaissance monitor.

I blurted out, "I've seen this kind of equipment, the same one I saw when I attacked the underground gang with Lake in Atlantic City, USA." At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart, if this is an instrument that has just been invented, then in other words, Lake's gang at least has the same strength as the government's scientific and technological power.

Beixue glanced at me in surprise, obviously she also thought of the thought that I had just flashed, and she suddenly said a little weakly: "The more I know about the power in Lake's hands, the more I feel that this person is terrifying, what is his purpose?" ”

Vaughn laughed instead: "It's better this way, the secret he knows is worth the risk we are willing to fight for, if this person is a man of false promise, even if we get that thing, it will become meaningless." ”

Beixue nodded seriously and recounted the plan: "We have already investigated, the Louvre is open from 18:00 to 21:45 on Wednesday and Friday nights, when the night is low, it is night, and there are not many pedestrians, so it should be the best time to install cameras. ”

Alice, apparently talking to us about not being interested in sneaking into the Louvre, went back to the hall and looked through the pockets of clothing, and exclaimed, "Ah, these clothes look so good!" ”

Beixue suddenly glanced at Vaughn, and said in an accentuated tone to me: "This time we must be fully prepared, I know that no plan is perfect, but this time there are many important things involved, so we can only succeed and not fail." ”

We went back to the hall and I asked, "What are you going to do with these gorgeous clothes?" ”

Beixue asked, "Guess we don't know what the 'hope of the Dead Sea' is now, how can we find a diamond like that?" ”

I was dumbfounded, and if I were to think about it, there would be no way to know where the diamond was, and Besher reminded: "Who in the world knows everything about the Louvre?" ”

I rightly said, "Isn't that clear?" Naturally, the people who are in charge of the Louvre, oh, the curator of the Louvre! ”

Vaughn took out a roll of newspaper from his paper bag and nodded: "Henri Louisier, the current director of the Louvre Museum, is our target this time, the newspaper news says that this weekend he has a successful exhibition of paintings for a modern artist, and we all agree that he must have top-secret materials in his hands, and that materials are in his home." ”

Beixue continued: "So this time I bought orthodox suits and evening dresses. ”

I thought to myself, "Since there are famous people in the city of Paris, there should be an invitation to hold a cocktail party, right?" How do you get this? ”

Beixue said confidently: "This time I will trouble Mark to go with me, and Vaughn and Alice stay outside to monitor, as for the invitations, they are all sent by email now, as long as it is a place to use the computer, it will not be difficult for me." ”

Alice was disappointed: "Is this the prom?" ”

Beixue comforted: "It doesn't matter if you can't make it, Mark and I will have miniature cameras and bugs on our bodies, and as long as you bring the monitors, you will be as much fun as you are there." ”

Alice clapped her hands and said, "That's good, I'll take care of Mark's system." ”

Beixue took Alice's hand and said lovingly, "Sister, I'm going to work hard for you this time, thank you." ”

Alice smiled generously and said, "I understand, my sister doesn't need to be polite to me." ”

Vaughn said at this time: "Okay, that's all here today, it's too late, we all have an early rest, and tomorrow we need you to test these remote instruments." ”

Outside the window, the night is deep, and the cool breeze brings up the fallen leaves, which hover and fly in the air, and the leaves are yellowing, indicating the passage of time, which no one can change, and it is still moving forward, flowing like a river with the memories of the years.

The next day, early in the morning.

Alice and I had a tacit understanding, and because I didn't want to cause trouble, I didn't tell Becky and Vaughn about meeting the Dark Cross people.

Last night I couldn't help but read the magic book with curiosity, this book is indeed a strange book, which tells about a wide variety of magic, according to what is said in it, everyone has their own attributes, I belong to the dark, I deliberately tried other magic, it really has no effect, magic is born in my body, or because of the acquired contract I don't know, however, magic is indeed very easy to use the ability, dark magic is subdivided into three types, blood magic, eclipse magic and shadow magic, blood magic- Even if you draw a pattern through your own blood or use magic weapons and weapons to stain your own blood to increase your power, this magic is extremely harmful to yourself, and Father Buckley also reminded me that no matter what spell is advanced, it will cost my life, and I don't have any magic weapons, and I haven't reached the time to fight with anyone, but there are three blood magic here, and I don't dare to try, turn the next page, erosion magic - that is, use the characteristics of dark attribute magic to make the opponent's single individual be swallowed by invisible dark magic, There are five methods recorded here, from low-level to high-level magic, one of the low-level magic is called the Dark Eclipse Moon, the effect is to make the other party unknowingly in the magic, corroding its nervous system, paralyzing it, but this spell has a shortcoming, that is, it takes a long time to see the effect, I see some feelings of wanting to laugh here, I have always thought that magic is super dazzling, in fact, real magic is not like movies and television or magic novels with exaggerated visual experience, this magic can only consume magic, and can not be seen immediately, It seems that if you want to have a powerful and immediate effect, the magic is medium and high-level magic, I looked at the magic above the foundation of the Dark Eclipse Waning Moon in detail, and then turned to the page of shadow magic, shadow magic - that is, through the magic transformed into dark elements, and absorb the surrounding dark elements to make itself a great improvement in movement and concealment, in ancient times, people used this magic to perform shadow tricks and escape the pursuit of the enemy, which made me very interested, according to the method mentioned in the book, I tried a trick of shadow attachment in the mirror, only to see my body gradually disappear into the air, slowly submerged into my own shadow, but I couldn't hold on for a few seconds, I showed my body again, this shadow magic only recorded three strokes, shadow magic, shadow transfer and polar shadow magic, I prefer this kind of effortless, use it to see the effect, practice a few times, as if getting the essentials, can actually persist in the shadow technique for more than twenty seconds, I feel that I have a sense of exhaustion, knowing that this is the phenomenon of magic exhaustion, I couldn't continue practicing, so I slept until the next morning, and when I woke up, I thought about magic, and it was indeed as Father Buckley said, and it was not as hard as I imagined.

The sun was shining outside, and I packed up the sheets, only to see a small pink flower quietly blooming on the windowsill, showing its good mood and vitality today.

When I got downstairs, Alice was already familiar with the advanced equipment with Vaughn, but there was no sign of Beyce, and Vaughn noticed me coming down and said to me, "We're debugging the bugs and cameras." ”

Alice happily pulled me over and said happily, "Sister Beixue is carrying those gadgets with her now, it's so funny, we can see the outside through her!" ”

I was no longer surprised by this, only to see the Seine River appear on the screen, and then as the trembling camera progressed, footsteps could be heard in the stereo, and then a glass door appeared, and a hand pushed the door in, and the face of a woman who became a little round through the camera appeared, and I heard Beixue's voice say, "I order four fast food, pack." ”

The female counter clerk across from that Beixue replied, "Okay, wait a minute. ”

Beixue asked again, "Excuse me, is there a rental car company near here?" ”

After greeting another person, the female counter replied: "I know that there is one in this kind of place, but it is not in the old town, if you have to walk along the road of the new bridge, you will see an auto parts company, and then you will see that company, my friend used his car when he got married, and he needs a Paris ID card, and the rent is very cheap." ”

After thanking the enthusiastic female counter clerk first, Bei Xue took out the colorful banknotes with one hand and asked the female counter clerk, "I paid for the fast food first, can I come back and pick it up later?" ”

The female counter replied, "No problem." ”

The glass door opens again, and Beixue is out into the street again, when Beixue asks, "Can you hear me?" ”

Vaughn replied, "It's clear. ”

Besher continued, "Can you make a replica of a Parisian resident's ID card?" ”

Vaughn replied, "No problem. ”

Beixue stopped a taxi and said, "That's fine, I'll book the time for the rental car now." ”

One hand opened the door of a yellow taxi, and Beixue was heard saying to the driver, "Keep driving forward, I'm going to the company that rents the car." ”

After a while, there was a faint murmur in the stereo, and no sound could be heard, and the screen turned black, Vaughn turned back to me and Alice: "Although this is the most advanced equipment, the most extreme communication distance is only 1000 meters, so once it exceeds this range, there is no way to contact again." ”

I laughed and said, "So I must rent this room less than 100 meters from the Louvre." ”

Vaughn stood up and said, "It's Bexue's last resort, it's up to me next." After speaking, he took out a set of cards from the back of the chair, opened the folded card with a shake of his hand, and after taking out a card from it, he said: "This is the Paris ID card that Beixue wants, and the agent just has something that no one else has, haha." ”

Alice asked for the card curiously, and wondered, "The person written on it is not any of us?" ”

Vaughn smiled: "This is not an ordinary imitation ID card, it has an official name called a plastic ID card, that is, through a special method can change the photo of the person, the date of birth, the ID number, the use of this kind of thing can be used in foreign airports to enter and exit, some people in the killer organization also use this kind of thing, escape abroad from pursuit, however, the organization that can have this kind of card will more or less have something to do with the government." ”

When the image appeared on the screen again, it was already back in the fast food restaurant, only to see a pair of pairs take two packets of food each, and then pushed the door out again, Vaughn said to us: "Beixue is coming back, after the interruption of contact, it is still a while late from the display, it seems that it is necessary to debug it well." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Beixue came back with fast food, and when she saw me, she was surprised: "I didn't expect you to get up so early." ”

I knew that she meant sleeping lazily every day, smiled awkwardly, and said, "You have arranged everything so well, what else do you need from me?" ”

Vaughn was behind me at some point, pressed me on the shoulder and said, "Of course you need you, today you will go to the Louvre to completely set up the cameras and debug the bugs." ”

I asked, "Didn't you go and set up the cameras at night last night?" ”

Beixue explained: "I think about it, there are not many people who go to visit at night, there are many fewer people blocking the surveillance system, and during the day, there are many people coming and going, so it is safer."

Vaughn continued: "I think so, too, there aren't many venues that can be opened at night due to sparse pedestrians, so it's better to go during the day. ”

I agreed, "It's all up to you, but can you decide and tell me later?" ”

Betsy and Vaughn looked at each other and smiled.

After we enjoyed the chicken leg burger and mustard fries brought by Bescher, as well as the roasted corn, we got dressed up and Vaughn pressed the ball camera on my button, I really couldn't tell it was a camera if I didn't look closely, but Beescher's hidden camera was a beautiful and delicate brooch.

Today Beixue wore a set of black jeans and a light blue suspender tights, which matched my black outfit a little bit, Vaughn said solemnly: "I will turn on this camera after you enter the Louvre, and you will also turn on the switch of the bugging after entering the Louvre, if you keep them open, when you enter the main entrance, you must pass through a sensor door, in order not to detect the radio waves through the sensor door, so it will be safer, and we will contact you after entering." ”

Beixue and I each took five cameras, and Beixue said to me: "That's all for our cameras, most of us will go to the Ancient Guai Cultural Relics Museum and the Arts and Crafts Museum today, and the rest of the painting and sculpture museums will not go." ”

I guessed, "Do you think there can't be such a thing as a diamond in a gallery of paintings and sculptures?" ”

Beixue happily said, "Exactly. ”

Vaughn laughs, "So you're going to miss the smile of the world-famous Mona Lisa hidden in the gallery." ”

I didn't understand the art of painting anyway, so I looked at Alice and said, "I don't need a Mona Lisa's smile, I just need to smile at me alone." ”

Alice smiled, "I'm watching your every move, I think it's funny." ”

Bess was the first to go downstairs, and I said to Vaughn and Alice, "Okay, we're leaving." ”
