Chapter VIII Leaving the Islands

The afternoon lazy in the archipelago is very comfortable, going out to fish, swimming, and the sparkling sea is the laughter of tourists, and it is indeed a great place for vacation.

The coconut was set not far from the beach, the cool breeze was blowing, the long leaves of the coconut tree were rustling, Alice and I sat on the bench under the coconut tree, talking next to each other and talking about love, Alice's light smile made people feel in a graceful happiness.

We found that we liked the sun very much, Alice's face used to be a little pale, but now it is more and more rosy after the sun shines, and I feel very warm and comfortable in the sun.

Alice leaned on my shoulder and said softly, "Mark, I noticed that your hair and eyes are getting darker and darker, just like the dark night sky, especially the eyes are black and white, and there is a kind of magnetic force that is overwhelming all over your body. ”

I felt a pang in my heart, and these words reminded me of my first impression when I first met her, that this feeling was the same, could it be that this inner thing had come to me because of the transfer of the curse? Of course, I can't notice this shallow change, but others can easily feel it, and I faintly feel that this magnetic force is the attraction to life.

Alice added, "Why did you want to save me then?" ”

I looked at her affectionately and said, "Since the first time I met your eyes, I knew that I had fallen in love with you, but at that time, I resisted, but the more I resisted, the more I missed you, and it made you sad." ”

Alice was moved: "Actually, you shouldn't care about me, a mortal person"

I turned around and hugged Alice and said, "Don't say that in the future, we've started all over again, haven't we?" ”

I tried to cut the sadness out of the mood and divert the subject: "What's your birthday?" I'll celebrate your birthday with you in the future, okay? ”

Alice finally turned from melancholy to a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, my birthday is September 12th, and it's almost here." ”

I promised, "We'll be together then."

The good times of life may be short, but everything has been deeply in the memory, there will be no moment to forget, every minute and every second is deep into every cell, every moment is worth cherishing.

At this time, Bess returned from a distance and beckoned to us, and Alice and I sat up straight and held hands to greet her.

After meeting Beixue, they walked back to the vacation cottage together, and said as they walked, Beixue said: "This time, we left for London, and opened a bank account for me, I need to give an explanation to the above for this total annihilation, as for your fake identity to London, I will do two flawless real identities through the above channels, can you use your original name?" ”

I replied, "Yes, it's up to you." ”

Seeing that I suddenly trusted her so much, Beixue looked at me deeply, but said, "Okay, then let's go in and talk." ”

Coming to the inner hall of the house, Besher sat on the sofa and spread out a tourist map: "Tomorrow morning there is a small tourist boat that can go to Plymouth on the other side, and from there we can take the sea route across the English Channel to Dover, from where we can drive back to London." ”

I was pleased with the route that Beixue had arranged, and I nodded in agreement, "That's it." ”

Joseph came out at some point and asked, "I took the train at Plychith." ”

We all asked, "Why?" ”

Joseph explained, "This will make it easier for me to get access to the church, and besides, I'm going to go back and get the original copy of the bishop, so how can we get in touch after that?" ”

Beixue looked at me again before she said, "Well, our organization has an encrypted email that has never been used and is not afraid of being spied on, and this email box can only be used five times." After speaking, Beixue took out a pen from her body, wrote the email address and password on two slips of paper, handed them to Joseph and me respectively, and said: "This mailbox can only be received, not sent, so the email sent must clearly write your contact information at that time, and any of the three of us can go in and see it, so let's use this as our secret contact." ”

Beixue suddenly glanced at Joseph again and asked, "Will you send an email?" ”

Joseph gave Beixue a strange look and said with a smile: "Even if I believe in theology, I don't even know how to use a computer, we still exchange theological knowledge and experience through computers, but I don't want to talk about the affairs of our church for the time being." ”

Besher knew that she couldn't find out more secrets from Joseph, but she had always been very curious about Joseph, after all, Joseph's skills were beyond reality.

Many things once they go beyond the normal perception of the concept, people call them mysterious, and Joseph is a mysterious person, and I am too, for Beixue, I need to accept it slowly.

The next morning the four of us went to Seamo's to say goodbye, and with Seamus wishing us a safe journey, we boarded the small tour boat at 9 o'clock and waved goodbye to him, and of course their two children.

The small tour boat made its way along the detours of the coastline, Alice and I watched the scenery on the deck, and Beixue and Joseph drank milk tea in the restaurant.

Today, the scenery is infinite and the sun is shining, and occasionally a few seagulls foraging on the beach fly by both sides of the tourist boat, which adds to the fun.

It took only an hour or so for us to reach the mouth of the Plymouth Sea.

When it was time to break up with Joseph, I hugged Joseph in the harbor and said, "Joseph, you have to come back well, I look forward to the moment when I meet you again." ”

Joseph left me and smiled, "Don't worry, I will come back soon to help you when I go back this time, and remember that if I am not there, I must be able to avoid the people of the Holy Cross and not fight hard against them." ”

Beixue also came over and hugged Joseph and said, "We said okay, you must come back to help me." ”

Joseph was a little shy about Beixue's possession, after all, he rarely touched women, so he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay." ”

Alice came to Joseph upright, stretched out her right hand and said, "Joseph, take care, goodbye." ”

Joseph looked at the girl who was being hunted down by the church, and shook his right hand back, "Goodbye, my friends." ”

Joseph walked out of the port gate without looking back, and seeing that he was so free, I said to the two women beside me, "We still have a chance to meet, let's go, we should go on our way." ”

It was a four-hour journey from Plymouth to Dover, and our new boat was a little larger than the one we had already taken, and the original one had only seats for people to rest on.

We had lunch together on the boat, saying that it was pleasant but that we were in a good mood, but we had no common topic, because these words about stealing, reconnoitring, and avoiding being killed could not be said in public at all, so I had to experience the fun of love with Alice, and ignore the girl who had been traumatized in the relationship, Beixue.

Beixue could only look at the scenery boredly while we were laughing on our side, and Alice was trying to remove my hand around my shoulder, and her talking eyes frequently signaled to me to restrain me, and she secretly promised that the look of wanting to refuse and welcome was really tempting.

Just after lunch, on such a warm afternoon, and the tourist boat is as drowsy as a cradle, soon Alice is lazy, want to go to the bedroom to rest, I thought to myself that the opportunity has come, but Bess prefers to sleep with Alice, I was complaining about why there are so few opportunities to be alone with Alice, but I remembered a very serious matter, I must tell Bessy.

I called Beixue out to the deck alone, and I said with a solemn expression, "I have the tracker that the Motian Organization has in my body. ”

Beixue was shocked: "Why didn't you say this earlier?" ”

I sighed and said, "I don't want Joseph and Alice to know about this, and besides, they will only be in a hurry if they know about it, I think you can take it out of my body, only you can do it." ”

Beixue thought for a moment and said: "It's true that only I can do it, but if this is implanted since childhood, due to the growth of muscles and nerves, it may cause nervous system damage to body tissues in the process of removal. ”

I heard the implication that this little thing was not easy to obtain, and asked, "What now?" ”

Beixue knows the seriousness of this problem, which means that as soon as I get ashore, then I may be targeted by the people in the organization, because the other party has a tracker, and if I can't interfere with it, I can only sit and wait.

Beixue paced back and forth on the deck for a few steps, and analyzed: "If the tracking chip implanted in your body is something ten years ago, then the best thing to be detected at that time should be an alloy magnetic sheet, this thing can be detected by a microwave radar, in short, this thing belongs to a radioactive aggregate, as long as it is wrapped in a layer of silica gel, it will not produce body rejection, and it can be detected from a long distance, once our team learned about this kind of thing, according to the size of the chip, the maximum detection range is 5000 meters, With special and sophisticated instruments, you can know the movements of the other party. ”

I knew what was inside my body, no wonder the woman who was chasing me at the New York airport, Iretta, could chase me to the airport so quickly.

Beixue comforted me again: "Don't worry too much, now that all kinds of radio waves are flooded today, it is not so easy to detect, and even if it is detected, it will take time, if that person is smart enough to grasp our movements and stay on the road we must pass, then we will not be able to hide." ”

How can I not worry when I know that there is such a thing in my body?

I thought, "If I have a small radio with me, is it possible to interfere with the signal?" ”

Beixue affirmed: "You can try, we must solve this matter when we go back, I will not put my life, including Alice's life, in danger all the time." ”

I proposed, "Well, let's go our separate ways, you and Alice together, and I'll go alone, and I'll meet you in London." ”

Beixue refused: "No, when there is no information, we can't jump to conclusions, and without my help, if you are discovered, it will be even more difficult to escape, don't worry, I will have a safe way." ”

Bei Xue added a digression: "Are you a little precocious?" ”

I knew that she was talking about me and Alice, obviously she was slow to be emotional, and I had to say that I was precocious, and I didn't want to argue anything on this issue, so I just said: "Look at Seamus's children have the experience of having three girlfriends, I'm nothing." ”

I was fidgeting on the boat during this time of the afternoon, it turned out that I didn't know that there was a tracker, but I only knew it after that fight with Iretta, and today after some explanation from Beixue, I didn't understand that I was a dangerous person.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the port of Dover, and Beixue walked off the tour ship with us as usual.

Dover is a seaport in Kent, England, with a population of about 290,000. The Port of Dover is the closest to the French port of Calais, only 34 kilometres away, making it one of the busiest seaports in the UK, with 18 million passengers a year.

This is the famous Strait of Dover, known in France as the Pas-de-Calais. It is the passage between Britain and France that connects the English Channel to the North Sea. Those who know military history should know that the famous "Normandy landing" of the United States and Britain to rescue France started from the Strait of Dover and changed the battlefield of the whole of Europe.

Due to the foggy sea of the Dover Strait, the narrow shipping lanes and the busy shipping situation, there are endless accidents of ship collisions, grounding and sinking. In order to improve the traffic congestion in the strait, in September 1987, Britain and France began to build a 53-kilometer-long submarine tunnel connecting from Fox in the United Kingdom to Sangart in France, which was dug on October 30, 1990, and officially put into use in 1994 to realize the connection between Britain and France.

There are high-speed trains running back and forth every 10 minutes to and from the undersea tunnel, and it only takes 35 minutes to cross the strait by car.

Dover is only more than 140 kilometers away from London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and to the west is the city of Folkestone, France, which can be taken directly to the undersea tunnel.

The port of Dover is known for its bustle, so we hailed a taxi as many passengers flowed out of the halls of the port, and drove all the way to a small cottage area on the outskirts of Dover, surrounded by small villas, all neatly arranged but deserted.

Led by Beixue, we came to a medium-sized villa, Beixue generously climbed in through the left window of the villa, and then opened the door for us inside the house.

Alice and I had no choice but to walk in, I looked around, saw that no one had cleaned up for a long time, and asked, "Whose house is this?" ”

Beixue said: "This is one of the strongholds that our organization has used, because it doesn't want outsiders to go inside, you know that you can come here at any time in the future, and only here are the necessities we need." ”

Beixue didn't know when there was a remote control in her hand, and when she pressed the switch, the indoor lights were bright, and a mirror against the wall was separated, and there were some clothes inside, and there were many styles, just listen to her: "Here we can change into some clothes, and we can also take a good rest, as well as laptops and necessities for life, it is not surprising that the organs above us have bases in strategically located countries like this." ”

Beixue then pulled Alice up and said, "Let's go and take a bath." Then he said to me, "It's been a long time since this place was cleaned up, and I want you to give us a clean world before we come out, okay?" ”

Looking at the backs of them holding hands and going to the bathroom on the second floor, I had to silently accept this "fair" arrangement.
