Chapter 262: Friends
The sea breeze blows, and the water and sky are the same.
The beautiful Aegean Sea has left many love stories and legends, which are some modern film and television dramas, and in poignant love stories, they like to use this melancholy sea as the background.
The large passenger ship sailing through the beautiful blue Aegean Sea is about to sail through the beautiful blue Aegean Sea and is bound for Italy, stopping for half an hour in the port of Istanbul to replenish its supplies.
Karen was very puzzled that Li Xiangnan didn't say anything on the ship, but when the passenger ship docked at the port of Istanbul, Li Xiangnan seemed to have made a temporary decision to give up his plan to go to the destination and get off the ship at this Istanbul port.
Istanbul is an international port city, but also a historical capital, which has experienced countless wars and battles, and has its own unique historical heritage.
In the evening, a restaurant with a strong Islamic flair.
Wesley was not interested in bread, but feasted on the large plate of lamb, a complementary food, and the delicious and mellow wine was only his drink.
Cullen didn't have any love for bread either, he liked the lamb in this restaurant very much, it was so delicious that he and Wesley fought it over, and a plate of lamb was divided.
Some of them were still a little unsatisfied, so they asked for two more plates, but after only half of them, they suddenly felt a little greasy, and when they ate some bread and wine, they felt that the taste was different.
Anna held half a glass of wine in her hand, and while tasting it, she looked at Li Xiangnan from time to time.
Li Xiangnan ate more than Wesley and Cullen combined, and ate three plates of lamb, five loaves of bread, and a bottle of wine by himself.
Especially when he eats, he is quiet and can't speak. Although Wesley and Cullen were fighting over a plate of mutton, they were embarrassed to compete with Li Xiangnan.
It wasn't until Li Xiangnan had eaten and drunk enough and put down the dishes that Anna seized the opportunity and put down the wine glass. Said: "Li, it's time to talk, why do you want to get off the boat here?" ”
Li Xiangnan didn't explain, and Karen, as a detective, began to analyze and said, "Let's assume a possibility first. Even if the news of Dark Speaker Red's presence in Italy is confirmed, it is very likely that the other party has become vigilant and will lay a net there waiting for us to get into.
And Li wants to get off the boat here, which can be regarded as a temporary idea, he doesn't want to be led by the other party's nose, once he enters the other party's trap. Lee will become very passive.
And the second possibility, it should be that our behavior stimulates the other party, the other party doesn't want to play with us anymore, and is ready to have a showdown with us, and the other party's discarded chips are very likely to be Ah Meng.
In this case, if the other party threatens Ah Meng's safety. This will make us cast a mouse bogey, and we will become more passive, because we don't have any hole cards in our hands, so Lee's intention to get off the boat here should be to find a hole card that can negotiate with the other party! ”
Wesley said puzzledly: "Lee, since your good friend was kidnapped, they haven't sent you any news from beginning to end, and they haven't done anything to blackmail or blackmail, what do they want to do, I don't think this game of hide and seek will be fun?" ”
Karen said, "We're just looking for the identity of the other party through the clues of the dark flying creatures. But I don't know the details and background of the other party, but we don't know anything about the other party's information.
But the other party is very aware of our whereabouts and actions, and we want to rescue Ah Meng back, so we have fallen into passivity at the beginning.
If things work out the way I envisioned them, then we will be even more passive. can only be found by the other party, and then played between applause, this is probably the appetizing dessert that the other party wants, and it is also something that I want to try to guide us to do.
Once we are played by the other party between applause, the other party will really reveal their ultimate purpose and hole cards, and at that time, what they ask you to do, whether you want it or not, you have to do it, because you have no choice.
So Li will do so many irregular and nonsensical things, just don't want to be found by the other party where our weaknesses are, even if we don't have hole cards in our hands, but we can dig and find them ourselves, so that when the two sides finally have a showdown, we at least have a bargaining chip in our hands! ”
Li Xiangnan was very appreciative of Karen's analysis, and it was indeed after he had such an idea in his heart that he would get off the ship halfway and did not go to the destination.
Although he thought that even if the other party laid a net for him, what could it be, Li Xiangnan believed that with his own strength, no one on this earth would be his opponent, no matter what means the other party had, he would be able to break it with one force.
But while the boat was moving, when Li Xiangnan quieted down and thought about it, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with making such a decision, and the key was that Guo Meng was in the hands of the other party.
If he didn't care about Guo Meng's life or death, Li Xiangnan could do anything without scruples, and no one could stop him.
But Guo Meng is his best friend, brother, and he can't care less about this.
Besides, Guo Meng was also implicated by him, so he was taken away, he had to be responsible for Guo Meng's life, and he had to bring him back intact, so that he would have an explanation for Guo's mother and father, and an explanation for himself.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Xiangnan resolutely decided to do a few things that have nothing to do with Guo Meng for the time being, and add a few chips to his side for the final dialogue with the other party.
After dinner, it was getting dark.
After a few people left the restaurant, walking down the busy street, Wesley looked a little impatient, and said, "What should we do tonight, we can't wander around like this boring, right?" ”
Anna said, "Shut up, you long-winded fellow, if I'm not mistaken, we'll have work to do in a while!" ”
Li Xiangnan turned his face, looked at Anna and Wesley, and said: "Two, you are just friends with Karen, of course, after these two days of getting along, we have also become friends, before I attacked the dark forces, this is related to your mission, and I did not prevent you from intervening in this matter." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiangnan paused and said, "It's just that what I'm doing now may deviate from the purpose of the doctrine you follow, and it has nothing to do with your mission as a demon hunter.
So I think it's better for you not to get involved in this matter, because the deeper you get involved, the worse it will not only be bad for both of you, but it will also have a great impact on your family and the church behind you! ”
As soon as he heard this, Wesley understood what Li Xiangnan meant, shook his head and said, "Li, we have fought side by side, Anna and I have long regarded you as our most respected friend, although as demon hunters, we have to fulfill the sacred duty entrusted to us by the church, but to our friends, we are very sincere......"
Anna said: "Li, I think the help we can provide to you may be insignificant, but what to do, the decision is in our hands, not in the hands of the church and family, you don't need to have any concerns about our identity and background, as friends, since we have fought side by side, we also hope to be able to accompany you to rescue your friend and draw a perfect end to this matter!" ”
Cullen saw that Wesley and Anna reacted quite strongly, and probably didn't want to quit halfway.
He also knew that things were getting deeper and deeper, and it was getting more and more troublesome, and Li Xiangnan would say such things out of consideration for the two of them.
After thinking about it, Karen felt that he was also at fault, and he shouldn't have involved his two good friends in this matter, so he called them over to help without Li Xiangnan's consent at that time.
And now Li Xiangnan is going to do irrelevant things, whether Wesley and Anna's intervention will have an impact, Cullen analyzed it, and felt that he should say better, and said: "Li, Wesley and I are good friends who grew up together, and Anna and Anna are college classmates, although Ah Meng's disappearance was from Aunt Guo's invitation, but Guo Meng and I are also relatives and brothers after all, so at that time I felt that the matter involved abnormal creatures and dark forces, before in Budapest, I asked the two of them to come over to help without your consent, I'm sorry for that.
It's just that now that we get along well together and become friends, I think with the subtlety of you Orientals, you should not want them to get involved too deeply, and you are thinking about each other.
But we, as Westerners, don't think so, since we've accepted Wesley and Anna's help, if we can't rescue Ah Meng and let them quit like this, it will hurt the friendship between our friends, Lee, I hope you can understand ......"
Li Xiangnan didn't expect that just a casual remark would cause such a big emotional reaction from these three people.
However, he was also very relieved in his heart, after a few days of knowing each other, these three people can indeed get along as good friends, since they are sincere, if they let them quit, according to their ideas, it will hurt them, then he can only accept the sincerity given by this friend.
So, Li Xiangnan said frankly: "Okay, since the two of you want to help each other to the end, then I will tell me my plan, and then we will not do what the demon hunter wants to do for the time being, we will be thieves again!" ”
"To be a thief?"
After hearing this, Wesley seemed a little excited when he was puzzled, and couldn't help but glance at Anna, and said: "In the past, thieves often went to the church to steal things, and our duty is to catch thieves. ”
was exposed to the past of being a thief in her previous girlhood, Anna glanced at Wesley, but she didn't care too much, but looked at Li Xiangnan and said, "Li, where are we going next?" ”
"Hagia Sophia!"
After Li Xiangnan said the target location, he walked leisurely.
Not far ahead, there are many tourists, and it is one of Istanbul's most famous attractions, Hagia Sophia.
