Chapter 21: Falling into the Hands of the Adversary

Katyusha moved cautiously over the wall, looking down at the courtyard below, and two enemies appeared in her view: an enemy agent hiding behind a marble statue in a pond, spear aimed at the castle gates; Another agent stood behind the wall to the right of the gate, aiming at the entrance to the gate. Always ready to sneak up on the uninvited guests who enter the city gates.

Katyusha landed softly in the corner, aimed at the enemy by the pond from behind, and shot him in the head without them noticing. The sound of the opponent falling to the ground alarmed the enemy at the city gate, and he raised his gun and opened fire in the direction of Katyusha.

Seeing this, Katyusha rolled to the left, dodged the incoming bullets, just stabilized her heel, drew her gun and aimed it at the enemy's chest, fired several shots in succession, and the opponent was shot in the chest and abdomen, and fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, the enemy sniper Anna hid in the shadow of a window in the castle, through the scope of the sniper rifle in her hand, calmly and patiently observed all this, and thought in her heart: "Two enemies, instead of putting down one and giving the other a chance to fight back against me, or escape, it is better to wait for them to appear and wait for the opportunity to capture." ”

Through the head-mounted microphone, Anna whispered to another colleague patrolling the castle: "There is a situation near the gate of the courtyard, hide in the dark, waiting for my orders." ”

"Yes. I'm heading here. The other party quickly replied.

Katyusha looked around, except for the swans and mallards in the pond, where swans and mallards poked their heads into the water and hunted for small fish and movements, the afternoon was quiet.

Katyusha held her gun, trotted all the way in the direction of the castle gate, came to the drawbridge, and beckoned Hugh: "Everything is safe, sneak in with me." ”

The two of them entered the castle gate and entered the courtyard. Before he could take a few steps, a red laser sight bolted onto Katyusha's heart.

At the same time, Anna's smug voice came from his ears: "Stay where you are, drop your weapons, raise your hands, as long as you take one more step forward, this woman's life will be in danger." ”

Hugh and Katyusha noticed the light point of the laser sight at the same time and looked at each other.

Katyusha nodded helplessly, and saw his unwilling expression in Hugh's eyes.

The two released their weapons and fell to the ground.

An enemy agent leaned out from the right side of the castle, quickly moved towards Hugh and Katyusha, removed the handcuffs from his waist, handcuffed them from behind their backs, stood behind them, pointed a gun at them, and walked towards the castle.

When they came to the hall of the castle, the sight before them jumped into the eyes of Hugh and Katyusha: inside the empty hall, the clean and smooth marble floor, reflecting the bright sunlight projected by the painted rose window, illuminated a huge circular family heraldic pattern on the ground, a golden six-pointed star surrounded by a ring, in the center of the star, is the head of a lion, on the left of the lion's head is a sharp blade, on the right is a shield, presumably the ancestors of the family, who galloped on the battlefield in those days, brave and good at fighting, Later, he gained royal recognition and was crowned a nobleman, so that this supreme glory would benefit future generations.

Above the family coat of arms, a crystal chandelier of the same size, hangs down thousands of dazzling drop-shaped crystal columns; Two long ebutment staircases, behind the coat of arms, lead to the left and right to the second floor of the castle.

Without time to continue admiring the magnificent hall in front of them, Hugh and Katyusha were pushed by the agents to the left side of the first floor of the hall, entering a large door and entering the castle's dining room.

At the end of a rectangular dining table more than ten meters long, Vincent sat in the chief seat, with a snow-white napkin around his chest, pouring himself a small glass of wine, savoring the sweetness of fruit and vegetable salad in his mouth, and cutting a steaming steak in front of him with a knife and fork.

"You two, please be seated. My name is Vincent and I play for the CIA. Vincent said without looking up. The agent behind Hugh then pulled out the dining chairs on either side and pressed Hugh and Katyusha to the chairs.

"The steak here tastes good, juicy and juicy." Vincent picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. "Please wait until I'm done with lunch."

Hugh looked at him indifferently, thinking inwardly, "Look what tricks you want to play." ”

Ten minutes later, Vincent wiped his mouth with a napkin, tossed it aside, and got up and walked over to Hugh: "Please forgive me for being sluggish, you two have been waiting for a long time, you are so hungry that you haven't had time to eat breakfast." ”

"The two of them are Hugh and Katyusha. When we met for the first time, we were disappointed. Vincent held out his hand to Hugh, and then took it back. I'm sorry, I forgot you were handcuffed. ”

Katyusha silently looked at Vincent.

"I have already heard of the glorious deeds of the two of you, and I am deeply honored to have an opponent like you." Vincent's eagle-like gaze swept Hugh and Katyusha back and forth. "It's a pity that after today, I will never have the opportunity to meet you on the battlefield and see your extraordinary skills."

"Hmph, I think it's not us who need to worry about personal safety, but you." Not to be outdone, Hugh responded.

"Haha." Vincent burst out laughing. "I'd like to see if a cooked duck can fly." The skilled agent punched Hugh in the face with a wave, and a trace of blood appeared on the corner of Hugh's mouth.

"Take them and put them in the cell next door to the old Parisian man." Vincent waved his hand. The subordinates then received the order, escorted Hugh and Katyusha, and walked in the direction of the basement.

The Doctor, who was resting, awakened by the cacophony of footsteps on the stairs in the basement, looked through the crack in the prison barred door, looking alertly at the corner of the wall. I saw an enemy, armed with two young men, a man and a woman, strolling forward.

"You guys are familiar, after I was hijacked at the Place de la Concorde last time, you've been tracking the bad guys behind, is that you?" The doctor asked, curious.

"The same is the end of the world, why should we have met before." A wry smile appeared on Hugh's face.

Katyusha remained silent, and after the enemy agents had imprisoned them in their cells, closed the door, and faded away, she leaned against the wall and said in the direction of the doctor: "Doctor, we are here to save you, but we have no choice but to fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

"We're from another country, we know who they are, and we know about the Raptor prototype project you're involved in, and it's a bad luck that they're holding you here." Hugh added.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't it?" The doctor pondered, then plucked up his courage and extended a friendly hand in the direction of the cell next door.

Seeing this, Hugh held the doctor's hand tightly: "Let you suffer, let's find a way to escape from this place first." ”
