Chapter 300: A New Way Out
During the voyage in the past few days, Ji Haihong had a little understanding of Mrs. Heloise's temperament. This well-groomed, elegant lady has a fox-like scheming and angelic love, hiding and revealing her likable side to others.
With her mediation, the family gladly accepted the compensation and promised not to make what happened to them public. Then, the lady chatted happily with the family.
It was much later that the lady returned to the suite, escorted by two bodyguards.
"It's vain that we attach so much importance to these little bugs, and we can sneak into the dinghy and smuggle to the cruise ship without being discovered, what kind of master do we think we are." Amy said.
Ji Haihong didn't think so: "There is some truth, but not all, maybe these people's concealment skills are very good, but their combat effectiveness is very poor?" ”
The maid said, "No, it's time for the lady to go back to her room and rest." The implication is that they should "disinfect" the room as usual.
Ji Haihong nodded, walked up to the second floor, and entered his wife's bedroom. Amy sat on the sofa chatting with her wife, with a small study and a piano in the background.
"It's safe upstairs, Madame can rest." Ji Haihong stood by the glass guardrail on the second floor with a pistol in his hand.
Madame got up and was about to go upstairs when a man suddenly flashed by the piano. Amy noticed that something was wrong, and immediately turned back to stand in front of Madame and Miss Maid.
Shots rang out, and blood splattered Amy's shoulder. Ji Haihong immediately jumped down from the upper floor and shot the gunman in the arm in mid-air. The wounded gunman threw away his weapon and hid, and Ji Haihong fired several shots in an attempt to force the enemy out.
The others heard the gunshots and immediately rushed into the room. Now, the gunman has no way to escape.
"Medical! Bandage Amy! ”
"The enemy is inside, fire from behind and force him out!"
For the unexpected situation, the elites of the God of War squad dealt with it in an orderly manner. Several members of the team walked around the back of the piano - which was separated by a wooden partition wall - and they shot the wooden wall with their pistols by feeling. The sound of gunshots, piercings, and the cracking of wood rang out in a cloud of fire.
Then Mrs. Heloise suddenly said, "Stop, gentlemen, she's just a child!" ”
It's really just a child, Amy and Ji Haihong saw this child. Unbeknownst to the teammates who burst into the room, they opened fire with adults as imaginary enemies.
So the bullet just now didn't hit the little girl who was shivering behind the wooden wall.
The teammates all stopped attacking, but it was not because of Madame's words, but because of the bottom line in their hearts.
At the same time, they are also waiting for the captain's order, as long as the captain gives the order, they will not think more about whether the other party is a boy or a girl.
It's the enemy.
Captain Ethan sighed and pulled out a sparkling jade pendant from his bosom. Seeing this jade pendant, Mrs. Heloise's eyes lit up a little.
This jade pendant is simply so beautiful, with a deep pool-like green on one side and milky white light on the other. The surface is like living water flowing, delicate and moist.
The jade pendant was connected by a delicate brown braided rope, and the lady was very strange, why did Captain Ethan take out this jade pendant?
I saw Ethan hang the jade pendant on his finger and slowly walked to the piano. At the same time, he saw the little girl trembling with fear.
"Don't be afraid, kid," Ethan smiled with what he thought was kind, "we won't hurt you, come out." ”
The little girl looked at Ethan, and then at the jade pendant in his hand, not daring to move.
Ethan crouched down and moved to the girl's side. The girl's body shook even more, and she held her head in horror, waiting for the end of fate.
"Take this, kid." Ethan sent the jade pendant to the child.
There was a hint of puzzlement in the girl's frightened eyes, and finally, she trembled and held the jade pendant.
Captain Ethan stepped back, he pulled the jade pendant, and the girl moved with him.
The girl appeared in front of everyone.
The child's eyes were very bright, and they were full of horror and confusion. When Mrs. Heloise saw the filthy child, she was a little sad.
The child was ten years old at most and had a Middle Eastern face. Not to mention the dirty body, it is obvious that she is malnourished.
"J, please bring the first aid kit." Madame said.
Ji Haihong knew what she wanted to do: "Madam, this is not good, let's come." ”
"I've weighed it, and now she's unarmed, just a child."
Ji Haihong didn't say anything more, he handed the first-aid kit to his wife. Mrs. Heloise bandaged the girl's wound like a mother, and it hurt, and the girl bit her lip stubbornly and did not say a word.
The others were whispering, and these chatters reached the ears of the lady. Although her hand did not stop, her heart was shocked.
These people are discussing the price of this child.
"How much do you think this kid is worth?"
"For this job, 10,000 baht is expensive......
10,000 baht, more than 1,700 yuan, more than 200 US dollars. This kid risked his life to come to this ship and kill people for a mere 10,000 baht.
"Child, it's okay, child." Madame did not dislike the stains and unpleasant smell on the girl's body, she gently hugged the girl and stroked her long hair.
The girl left tears, but did not dare to cry.
After that, the lady asked Ji Haihong to buy clothes for the girl, and asked the maid to take the child to take a bath.
"I'm starting to get angry, Mr. Horsen." Mrs. Heloise said.
Mr. Horsen said, "Madame, so do I. ”
That night, Ji Haihong took on the task of Mrs. Heloise's personal escort alone. In the living room, Mrs. and Ji Haihong talked a lot. Ji Haihong's account and his views were shocking, and for the first time, Mrs. Heloise felt that the world was too unforgiving.
"Madam," Ji Haihong said, "I have thought about this question before, but I finally understood that perhaps for us, the darkness, ruthlessness, and cruelty of this world are just fragments left over from this world, and cannot represent the whole world." ”
"But, madam, for these children who survive the war, these fragments are the world they live in, and even their lives."
……
In the café, Ji Haihong added a few pieces of sugar cubes to the quilt, and he stirred the spoon: "How is that girl now?" ”
"She went to a church school and was doing well." Madame said.
Perhaps at this point it was no longer possible to call her "Madame", but "Sister Mary".
Ji Haihong suddenly smiled, and at a glance he found Shiliang who was hiding in the distance and watching nervously.
"Zhenchun, this guy is very smart, but he is impulsive and gets into the horns, so I can only let her touch the edge of this matter." Mary explained.
"Madame...... Sister Mary, oh my God, I have a stomach full of questions I want to ask but I don't know where to start. Ji Haihong was really entangled, and now it was not Mrs. Helloise or Sister Mary sitting in front of him, but a huge treasure trove of intelligence. Needless to say, it must be the effect of ATPX, and it must have something to do with the organization. What does she have to do with the organization, what does she have to do with Shiliang, and what does she know? Will she easily tell herself important information?
Now Ji Haihong is like an explorer who has discovered a huge treasure house, and the treasure house is full of treasures, so that the explorer does not know how to start.
Finally calmed down, Ji Haihong sorted out his thoughts. His first question was, "Sister Mary, what is your relationship with Sister Sera?" ”
"Sister." Mary replied.
"Hey, can you stop teasing me?"
"Parents."
Ji Haihong was stunned for a while, and some memories flashed back in his mind like flowing water: "Could it be that the model I picked was given to Sister Shiliang?" ”
"Correct."
No way? Ji Haihong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would have an intersection with the plot characters of "Conan" when he was a mercenary.
"One more thing you should know," said Mary, "that Mr. Horsen was the F.B.I. investigator James Black. ”
I'm a. Ji Haihong never dreamed that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
After James disguised himself as an old man and boarded the ship, he didn't have much contact with Ji Haihong. At most, I know that his code name is "J", and nothing else is possible. So when the smaller Ji Haihong came into contact with James, James didn't think about the cruise ship at all.
However, Ji Haihong still won't ask James why he fled to the cruise ship and what his purpose was. Although he is no longer a mercenary, the rules must be followed. If this has anything to do with Mary getting smaller...... Wait, she's getting younger, right?
Do you want to pull out a few of her hairs, draw a tube of blood, and send it back to Gray Yuan as a souvenir?
Ah no, do experiments?
"Sister, you're really lucky, now that you're so young, how can you look like me." Ji Haihong was a little depressed.
Mary coughed, "Do you really think I'm lucky?" ”
"Could it be that sister, you are not in good health now?" It was the first time Ji Haihong had seen this situation. Whether it's himself, or Conan and Gray Plains, the immunity after getting smaller is still very normal. Although they have all been sick, they can be cured as long as they recuperate in peace.
It's like Sister Mary, who is a little pale, and she coughs for a while when she says a few words.
"Let's make a deal, kid Ji Haihong," said Mary, "and we'll ask each other a question, which can be the same or different, or we can refuse to answer it." ”
Ji Haihong readily agreed: "Ladies first." ”
Mary chuckled: "Although we haven't seen each other for so many years, you are still like that, Ji Haihong, then, the first question, how did you become the way you are now?" ”
Ji Haihong recalled it and told her that after he came to Tokyo, he took strange medicine for various reasons, and then became smaller.
"Sister, what about you?" Ji Haihong asked rhetorically.
"Really...... Ahem, want to listen? What happened to me was amazing. ”
