Lincoln was going to give a speech to college students on the lawn next to Penn State's academic building, and Penn and Herold arrived a day early to step on.

"It's here, right?" Payne asked.

"That's right. This is it! Herold replied.

Payne looked around, and it was open all around, and there was nothing to obstruct, and there was only a small chapel two hundred meters away, and it was already eleven o'clock at noon, but the hands of the large bell of the church bell tower were still pointing to eight o'clock.

Payne wasn't a good gunner, and the distance of 200 metres was a bit too far for him. At such a distance, even with the MacDonald 1857 Precision Fire rifle, Payne could not have been sure to accurately hit Lincoln's vital point.

"Perhaps, we should go buy some hunting bullets." Payne thought.

The so-called "hunting bullets" are actually dummy bullets. That is, the bullet that deliberately exposed the lead core. Compared to the full armor bullets that encapsulate the lead core, these bullets deliberately make a hole at the top, exposing the soft lead core. In this way, when the bullet hits the target, the bullet itself is rapidly reduced under the resistance of the body, and at this time, the soft lead core is sprayed out of the opening, and then the whole bullet will roll up and transform into a large mushroom, and at the same time bring huge damage and incurable wounds to the target that is hit. Because of the huge lethality of this bullet, many hunters especially like to use such bullets against those large prey. Even a buffalo, or a terrible grizzly bear, would basically be knocked down with one of these guys. If it is used to shoot people, as long as it hits the torso, it is basically dead. It's just that the lethality of this bullet is certainly strong, but the accuracy at long range is worse than that of normal bullets.

Payne and Herold walked around the lawn and then went to church.

There is only one priest named Benzema in this church. Payne struck up a conversation with Father Benzema in the church. Consciously or unconsciously, he asked what the church bell was. Father Benzema told him that the clock had been broken for three days. Preparations are being made to contact for repairs. Payne immediately stated that he was a watchmaker and that he would help the church repair the broken bell if he could. Of course, not today, because he didn't have any tools with him. However, if Father Benzema agrees, he can come tomorrow with assistants and tools to fix the big bell in the church. So Father Benzema, who did not suspect him, made an appointment with him, just tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, an hour before Lincoln's speech began.

Leaving the chapel, Penn and Herold returned to their temporary hotel. Closing the door, they began to discuss plans for tomorrow.

"The bell tower of this chapel is the best place to shoot. It was about two hundred meters from here to where Lincoln stood. It's a pity that my marksmanship is not very good, and I am not particularly sure of shooting at such a distant target. Herold, how is your marksmanship? ”

"Me?" Herold shook his head and said, "I can't do it, you know I'm short-sighted, and at a distance of two hundred meters, I can't see clearly." So, I can't help with this. I have an idea, though. Maybe we should split up. ”

"Tell me about it." Payne said.

"Let's go to the chapel together and arrest Father Benzema. Then you go to the bell tower and get ready to shoot, and I disguise myself as a student and blend into the crowd, and if you miss, I'll take advantage of the chaos to shoot at the tyrant from close range. ”

"It's too dangerous, Gherod." Payne said, "It's hard for you to escape, you're going to get caught." ”

"So what? As long as you can eliminate that tyrant, that's nothing. Herold said disapprerovingly.

……

"Mr. Balbo, those two Assassins just went to the chapel on the other side of the lawn. We reckon they might be planning to get their hands dirty there. "In a room with tightly closed doors and windows, a man of medium size was reporting to a man wearing a ridiculous mask.

"Show me the map." Mr. Balbo said that his voice was strange, hoarse and snarky, like the sound of two pieces of metal coming out when they rub against each other.

"Here." Another person walked over and unfolded a map of Penn State.

"Hehehehe," looked down at the map, and the Mr. Balbo laughed again in that peculiar voice, "Fools are always fools." This location is two hundred meters from Lincoln, which is a good location, and it is definitely a hundred hundred miles for our people to go at this distance. But these two guys are hard to say. And, at that time tomorrow, that position will be right in front of the sun. Add to that the interference of the Suns, and I dare say that the guy doesn't even have a 1 in 5 chance of hitting Lincoln. It seems that we still have to do it ourselves. Ibrahimovic, you and Bale are in position A tomorrow, and Lentini, you and André are in position B. If that fool misses the vital point with the first shot, you will immediately refill the shot, understand? ”

"Understood." Several people immediately responded briefly.

……

"Mr. MacDonald, there's the latest news." Elizabeth walked in and handed Scrooge a file bag.

Scrooge took out a telegram from the file bag, read it, and then smiled proudly: "Good news, good news." Dorothea, come and see it too! ”

"What's the matter that makes you beautiful like that?" Dorothea, who was sitting behind a desk not far away and studying seriously, stood up and walked over to Scrooge.

"Well, let's take a look." Scrooge said to Dorothea.

"Mr. MacDonald, if there's nothing to do, I'll go out first." Elizabeth said.

"yes, okay." Scrooge nodded.

Elizabeth went out and closed the door. As soon as the door closed, Dorothea jumped up: "Amazing? Seward, this bastard, has finally done a good thing! Finally the deal is settled! Scrooge, is there any news from your delegation? ”

"The mission has sent back the first batch of information, and they have identified several locations that could be used as ports, and one of them is a very good ice-free port. In addition, there is good news, but you know that you must pay attention to confidentiality, even if you fall asleep, you can't say it. ”

"What's the good news, so mysterious?" Dorothea immediately came over.

"Lean your ear over." Scrooge said,

"What are you doing, pretending to be a ghost." Dorothea said this, but still obediently sent her ear over.

"Our guys are in the Alaska Cash Mine! At least worth more than $20 million! ”

"What!" Dorothea immediately covered her mouth. "Really?" , she asked nervously.

"Of course it's true. Now that Seward has reached an agreement with the Russians, it is just waiting for Congress to pass the guò. As soon as Congress calls Guò and the deal takes effect, we will immediately send someone over and dig it up quietly......"

"Can Congress get guò there? Seward won't go back on what he promised us, right? Because of the large amount of money at stake, Dorothea suddenly became troubled and lost.

"How dare they?" Scrooge said.

"Then we're going to celebrate." Dorothea said, "Why don't we call Carol to have a big dinner with Catherine and Anna after work today?" ”

"Why do you want to call Anna?" Scrooge asked.

Catherine must have wanted to take Donald and Dana with her, and she was reluctant to leave the two little ones. But when it comes to dealing with these two little guys, well, especially against Donald, she's not as good as Anna. If you don't bring Anna with you, if the two little ones play the Crying Game again, which of us can do it? Well, this ......"

"What?"

"I mean, is the message on Telegram reliable?" Dorothea said, "What about it in the newspapers? ”

"If the newspaper knows before we do, then what else do I want these guys for?" Scrooge smiled, "Calculated at normal times, Dorothea, you'll even know the news four hours before Lincoln......"

……

Payne stretched his MacDonald 1857 rifle out of the small window and pointed it at the lawn in front of the Penn State academic building. Lincoln was already there to start his speech. Payne held his breath and tried to get Lincoln into his sights. It's just that his hands trembled violently, and as long as his hands trembled a little at a distance of more than two hundred meters, Lincoln in the scope shook violently. Payne thought back for a moment to the gun shop owner's instructions, "Take a deep breath, relax, let your heart beat calm, then hold your breath and wait until the gun is down." It's just that this process has been done several times, and every time it is time to shoot, his hands shake violently again. Sniping is a technical job, and it is by no means something that anyone can do with a good gun with a scope.

Finally put Lincoln in the scope again. Payne knew that his time was running out, and looking at the situation, Lincoln's speech seemed to be coming to an end, and once the speech was over and Lincoln was moving, he didn't even think he could hit him. So Payne steadied himself for a moment, and then pulled the bolt.

A crisp shot rang out, but the back seat of the gun allowed Payne to see if he had hit Lincoln. So he hurriedly looked over - where Lincoln was still there, he couldn't hit him, several bodyguards had already rushed towards Lincoln, and Lincoln also met the bodyguards - at this time, Payne regretfully thought that if he was buying an extra gun, even if it was a regular version of the MacDonald 1857, it would be better, at least there would be time to make up for it now.

But at this moment, suddenly two more gunshots were heard, and then he saw Lincoln fall on the lawn with his feet limp.
