Chapter 0960: Remnant
"Alas! Thank you! Slote didn't say anything after all, said thank you, turned his head to look into the room, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" I suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Slote turned his head to look at me quizzically.
"Get us some gear, I only have a knife on me, and I don't want blood." I shrugged helplessly.
"Got it, I'll arrange it right away." Slote moved the corners of his mouth, he could see that our appearance made him a lot easier, don't look at the large number of military police and Holy See guards around, but those people can't make him completely reassured, Odin also had layers of protection when he was assassinated, and the result was not that he was shot, there are not many people who can make him believe, I am one.
In the nick of time, a member of the Templar Order came over with a backpack and walked up to me and asked very politely, "Are you an Assassin?" ”
I nodded, "You are?" ”
"My name is Josh, a member of the Templar Order, and Slote and Yuri often mention you, thank you for avenging Yuri." He was very friendly to me and was a guy who knew how to be grateful.
"No thanks, Yuri is also my friend." This is the difference between us, Caesar's brothers will never say thank you to their comrades, they will only return with their lives on the battlefield.
"This is what Srock asked me to prepare, for you and Xia." Josh handed me the backpack.
When I opened it, there was a brand-new German G22 sniper rifle inside, and I couldn't help but feel a kind of affection when I saw this guy, this kind of gun was used when I first entered the mercenary world.
"I'm sorry, you know that this is not the United States, and I couldn't find the M200 for a while, and I heard Slot say that you used the G22 before, so I found one, and I don't know if it's going to be smooth or not." Josh was a little embarrassed, after all, with the strength of the Holy See, it would not be difficult to get an M200 in another country, but I really couldn't find such a good gun in Sri Lanka, and this G22 was beyond my expectations.
"Very good, I'm satisfied!" Pulling the bolt suddenly, the crisp sound is a pleasure to listen to in your ears.
Putting down the G22, I found that there was still a light sniper rifle inside, I took it out and looked at it, and chuckled: "American M25? ”
"Yes, for Thea." Josh looked through the window at the goddess inside.
"Maybe she prefers the M249." Josh didn't know Thea, the crazy strafing machine gun was her favorite, even with a sniper rifle, she liked the M82's anti-materiel weapon, and the M25 with a range of only 900 meters couldn't vent her anger.
"I'm sorry, I'll go back and change it right away." Josh is still quite a simple fighter.
"No need, she can use any gun." I opened the bolt and checked, in fact, I have always felt that this light sniper rifle is more suitable for her, holding the machine gun and charging is the work of the master, but I also thought about it in my heart, if the goddess hears it, it will definitely find me to practice alone.
In addition, there are two pistols and two Jungle King Sabres in the backpack, a few spare magazines and two boxes of ammunition, which are more than enough for security work.
"I still have some things to do, so I'll leave it to you, Archbishop." Seeing that I was fairly satisfied with the equipment, Josh prepared to leave, and before leaving, he went to the door of the hospital room and looked inside, then reached out and grabbed the handle to get in.
Just as he was about to twist the handle, I appeared next to him and suddenly grabbed his wrist, "I'm sorry, I won't allow anyone into the room until Slote returns, including you and them. I gestured to the papal guards standing in the hallway.
Josh frowned slightly, stared at me for two seconds, and suddenly let go of his hand and said with a wry smile: "No wonder Slote will be relieved to hand over the archbishop to you." ”
"There is a saying in China that if you want to go in, you have to wait for Slote to come back, and no one can get in until then." I deliberately raised my voice as I spoke, so that the guards behind me could hear me, so that they wouldn't come to trouble for a while.
"Understand, I've been to China, and it's a good place." Josh let go of his hand and rubbed his wrist inadvertently, leaving five clear fingerprints there, I can't blame me for being too ruthless, for the sake of his equipment, I have already shown mercy to my subordinates, and my wrist would have been broken a long time ago.
Josh didn't stay long, glanced into the ward and left, the bastard of Slote really didn't know how to see me, and left me here to really go back to sleep, and slept all day, and didn't come to change me until ten o'clock in the evening.
"Grass, I thought you were dead!" Seeing him coming, I scolded angrily.
"Sorry, I overslept, I brought you dinner." Slote handed over a plastic bag containing a few lunch boxes, to my surprise that it contained Chinese food, my mouth watered, this place is not far from China, it is not too difficult to eat the authentic taste of home, especially for the powerful Holy See.
"This bowl of white rice saved you." I smiled at Slote, got up and went into the room, and called the goddess out, and she stayed by the bedside for the whole day, without eating or drinking, like me.
She seemed to be in a bad mood, she didn't smile all day, and she was silent when she ate, not knowing what was going on her mind.
"Have you found out who the killer is?" I asked Slote while eating.
"The remnants of the LTTE, they bite like mad dogs, and although the president of Sri Lanka has announced the end of the civil war, the LTTE members have not been wiped out, and the conflict with the government army has continued."
"They are hiding in all corners and launching attacks, and in just a few days, hundreds of innocent civilians have died, and the government forces are strangling them with all their might, but there is no real progress." Slote shook his head, in fact, we all understand that an organization that has been operating in this land for more than ten years is not so easy to eliminate, they have their own way of survival, even if the leader dies, someone will stand up and take over.
If the government army wants to completely eliminate the LTTE, it needs a process, and it is by no means something that can be done in a day or two, let alone a small country like Sri Lanka, what about the United States, it has been several years since the invasion of Afghanistan, the war has never stopped, and the price paid is getting bigger and bigger.
"How are you sure you're from LTTE?" The goddess finally spoke.
"That day I went with the archbishop to the town of Topigara in the Eastern Province, which had been a stronghold of the LTTE and had just been captured by government forces, and in the course of the fighting, the church there was shelled and more than a dozen members were killed, and we went to collect the bodies and pacify the remaining church members."
"But we didn't expect that the LTTE extremists who had been mixed up in the church suddenly pulled out their guns and shot at the archbishop, and we were caught off guard, and two of our comrades were seriously injured on the spot trying to block bullets for the archbishop, and one of them died on the spot."
"It all happened so quickly that I found out that the archbishop had been shot after I killed two thugs, and after a brief treatment at the local hospital, I was sent directly here, and the government forces confirmed that both thugs were members of the LTTE." Slote said with certainty, and he could see that he was a little remorseful, if he hadn't been careless, the mob would not have infiltrated the church, and Odin would not have been shot.
