Adi takes the three of Tim, who had been knocked unconscious by Severus, to a small hotel, and before Tim wakes up, Adi ties Tim into a large shape with four ropes that look almost ready to break at the slightest pull.

This made Adi breathe a sigh of relief, after which he turned and looked at Severus and Gail, "Now, let's talk about the thing you are holding." ”

"You mean this bronze sword?" Gail pulled his sword out of the slender bag again.

"No!" Adi was startled and shouted, "Don't wave it like that!" It's a very, very dangerous thing! He walked briskly to the corner of the room, pulled a bucket out of an inconspicuous place, and put on a pair of purple rubber gloves for himself, "It's useless, but it's safer to keep it here." ”

The barrel contained some purple liquid, which intrigued Severus. He took out a pair of dragon skin gloves from the inner pocket of his trench coat, which was actually spatial jewelry, and dipped a little of it in front of him before he could react.

Adi clearly wanted to say something, but Severus looked intently at the potion in front of him—yes, Severus was sure it was a potion—and he waved his hand angrily, and turned to Gail out of sight, "Boy, you put this sword in." ”

Gail saw that the other party seemed to be suppressing his feelings, so he immediately obeyed and did as he said, put the bronze sword into the barrel, and Adi slammed the lid shut. At the same time, Tim, who had woken up from a coma in another room, made a noise, causing Adi to swoop through with an agility that didn't match his size.

Gale pouted and didn't follow, but found a place for Severus to sit down, next to him in a bored daze.

In another room, Adi and Tim are having a stern conversation. Tim thinks he should convince Adi while he still has his senses, but Adi plays the emotional card with him.

"Tim, listen! We've been working together for three months, but you should know that I'm just a new agent. I don't want my seniors and partners to die! It's not comfortable, after the name Arthur has completely disappeared! ”

"Adi, we all know that you're a new agent, but you're a veteran!" Tim smiled weakly, "All agents will have such a day, and there are only a handful of them who can die peacefully." And I've saved the world more than once, I'm ...... Oh......" Tim's eyes were bloodshot again before he could finish his words.

He let out a painful moan and groan in his mouth, gasping for breath before he opened his mouth after about half a minute: "I'm happy with my final result, it's my choice...... Hmmm......"

"Tim! Tim, you listen to me! That boy! The boy who was on the subway before! He took the sword, empty-handed! But there was no response! Not at all! There must be a way! Adi said slightly excitedly.

"Adi, we all know that some people have a special sense of sensibility, or they have a stronger will......"

"A fifteen-year-old boy? No, no, no! I don't think a brat at an obnoxious age can be more powerful than a general who has killed hundreds of thousands of people! There must be a way! Adi turned and walked out of the house, and when he reached the door, he looked back at Tim very seriously and said, "I won't give up until the end." Maybe it's okay to copperize you to buy more time! Tim, promise me not to give up! We're guarding an entire storehouse of treasure! ”

"It was quirky and peaceful. It seems to be specially synthetic, and it is all extract. I can't discern the ingredients. When Adi arrived, he heard Severus explain to Gale like this.

Gale was a little unhappy that Severus had focused on potions again during the holidays. He brushed Severus's fingertips with one hand, which still had some potion, and disappeared the potion, and pretended to be angry, "Who said you wouldn't think about anything else when you were with me?" ”

"Sorry, there won't be a next time, unless you agree." Severus asked Gale on the forehead and said softly.

The warm atmosphere was broken by Adi's question: "Who the hell are you?" "Just a flick of your hand and it's gone! He was sure the kid didn't touch the glove!

"Do you want to 'forget everything'?" Gail realized he had been careless and turned to look at Severus.

"I don't think he has any less secrets than we do, maybe we can keep them secret after exchanging them?" Severus could have guessed a thing or two from the potion. He has always paid attention to the development of medicine and chemical science for ordinary people, and he recognizes the particularity of this medicinal liquid. Take a peek and know the whole leopard, and the other party may have a big secret.

"It's too much trouble!" Gail still thinks it's easier to forget about everything.

"Latin! Who the hell are you? Adi and Gail spoke at the same time.

"Sir, it's an international practice to give your name before asking someone, right?" Gale can be said to be very tolerant of Adi's bad temper. After all, it seems that his companion Tim is not in good condition, and Adi's mood is definitely affected. But that doesn't mean Gale will tolerate it forever, and he opened his mouth in a not very good tone.

Hearing Gail's suddenly sharp tone completely different from the previous gentle and soft, Adi immediately approached: "Do you feel a headache?" Do you want to speak Old Chinese? Do you want to kill? "Gail is the last hope! The neutralizer does not work against the Bronze Sword, while Gail is immune to the Bronze Sword. But if Gail only prolonged the reaction time, would he really have to throw the sword into the furnace with Tim?

"No!" Gail hurriedly stepped back and avoided the other party's hand who wanted to check whether his eyes were bloodshot, he was afraid that his eyeballs would be pulled out by the other party's excitement, "I don't have a headache!" I don't know ancient Chinese! I don't want to kill either! ”

"So it's not Hokkien, it's ancient Chinese?" When Adi retreated, Gail sorted out the conversation and used this to reopen the topic.

"Yes. I'm sorry, I'm a little ......" Adi realized that he was a bit self-defeating, and he took a deep breath to calm his feelings, "Adi Nelson, a U.S. Secret Service agent. ”

Severus and Gale were silent.

"What's wrong?"

"Adi, can I call you that?" Gail opened his mouth thoughtfully, and Adi nodded in agreement. "We know the President of the United States and have read it together...... Well...... Happy (President and most of the officials: No!) Not pleasant at all! He speaks in my head until I agree! Half a day, made a certain contribution to world peace. Believe me, we know what the Secret Service agents are like, and we know most of them. So...... I think, you'...... Well...... You don't have to lie. ”

Adi choked. Severus, however, heard something and thought it might be the case. He leaned into Gail's ear and succinctly uttered his guess.

Gail's eyes lit up at the first hearing. He turned to Adi and opened his mouth with a smile: "You belong to a special institution. This agency and the U.S. government have some agreements that allow you to use your identity as a Secret Service, right? Judging by the bronze sword and the reactions of you and your companions, could it be that the project you're in charge of is supernatural? ”

Although Gail was asking, his tone was very affirmative, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that it was true!

"Ahh Brat! You ......" Adi became agitated again, but eventually deflated like a deflated balloon. He rubbed his face and cheered up: "That sword belongs to a person named Gongsun Qi, probably from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China. You know, in the last decade or so, China has been a bit of a mess, and some things that are a little older have been destroyed or shipped outside. This was taken from an antiquities dealer. After this person took it, he killed more than a dozen people and buried them alive! ”

"Buried alive? Gongsun Qi? Gale struggled to remember, but couldn't remember who had ever buried anyone alive. The most famous incident in history is of course the burning of books by Qin Shi Huang...... Pit! Pit kill! Buried alive = pitted to kill! The word "pit killing" made Gail immediately think of a person, "Are you sure it's Gongsun Qi or not Bai Qi?" ”

"It is said that his other name is called Bai Qi, and there are always a lot of Chinese names." Adi is a bit confused about the messy "words", "numbers" and "aliases" and "nicknames", but his memory is not bad.

"That's right!" Gail shook his head proudly, "Bai Qi, killing 400,000 enemy troops, is the famous killing god of the Qin State, Wu Anjun!" ”

After Gale turned around a few times, he turned to look at Adi: "Can you tell me why this sword makes people want to bury people alive?" And the means are so crude and simple? This is not the same as Wu Anjun, who has a good background! He kills, but is an enemy. "You never catch a person and bury them alive.

"Presumably, when 400,000 people were buried alive, those negative emotions such as fear, pain, and suffocation were injected into the sword of Gongsun who gave this order. They use the sword as a medium, and maybe they will, uh, uh, want more people to suffer as much as they do? So the accusation is that people are buried alive? Adi is not quite sure, but the available information does prove that Gongsun Qi is not a cruel and murderous person without reason. He thought that if Gongsun had been in the present day, he must have been a very brilliant military strategist, although burying prisoners alive was resisted by the Geneva Conventions.

"When we arrived, the rest of the antiquities gang had been buried alive by the ringleader. He himself was in a state of losing his mind and was going to bury himself alive. You know, it's always a little slower to bury yourself. Tim wants to neutralize the Hidden Objects, but unfortunately, the guy who doesn't know what to do! He stops Tim! During the argument, Tim held the sword......"

Speaking of which, Adi's voice was a little low. "Tim's willpower is strong, he wants to kill people, he wants to bury alive someone he comes into contact with. Subway...... Tim felt that maybe he died underground and the influence of the hiding would end. ”

"Where's the scabbard?" Gail abruptly interrupted Adi's narration.

"What?" Adi didn't react.

"Scabbard! You don't think a sharp weapon is left like this when it's not practical, do you? Scabbard, made of leather or other material, is used to wrap the blade of the sword! Gail said. This is traditional Chinese thinking, isn't it? The sword is a sharp blade, and only the sheath is inclusive. The outer circle is square and the inner square or something.

Adi suddenly realized: "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Only half of them can't be neutralized! He picked up his triangular pouch and the bucket containing the sword and rushed out, shouting from afar, "Stay here!" Help me watch Tim! ”

Gail and Severus glanced at each other, and the two of them, who were fine anyway, decided to stay.

During this time, Tim struggled more than once to break free from the fate of being tied into a large font, but unfortunately, the four thin threads were not at all as fragile as they appeared on the outside, and they resisted each other's struggles one time.

About an hour later, Tim was lifted into the air as if he had been grabbed by a hand that had been invisible all along. He let out a terrible scream, and then fell back to the bed, gasping for breath, and finally stopped screaming in old Chinese that Gale did not understand.

After another ten minutes, Adi, who was out of breath, returned. Before he could enter the door, he shouted, "Tim! Tim: Are you alright? ”

Tim, who had been untied by Gail, gave Adi a big hug, showing that he was fine.

"What are these four sections? Why is it so small that it won't break? Gale studied curiously, the rope in his hand, which seemed to be made of plants.

"It belongs to a tribe of Indians, and they use it to bind their prey, and after many years it becomes unbreakable." Adi pulled the four pieces of rope back from Gail's hand and put them in the triangular handbag, looking reluctant to say more.

"Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and the daughter-in-law marrying the matchmaker and throwing it over the wall, which sentence do you think is more suitable to describe you?" Gail looked at his empty palm with a little dissatisfaction.

"What?" Tim and Adi don't know Chinese, and Gael's chicken speaks with ducks.

Adi remembered Gail's magical ability to disappear from before: "Come to think of it, you are a genius
