Chapter 237: The Assassin and the Hero (10)
Tang Tu and Van Gogh returned to the train, they had completed the task assigned by Mr. Bell, there was no difficulty, purely to practice the proficiency of rope gun use. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Greene was still sorting things out when he saw them come back and said, "Lads, I hear you've helped Bell a lot, he's now able to pick up more signals, and our standalone line will be ready to be completed soon, thank you for everything." β
"So what are we going to do next?" Tang Tu asked.
"Our main mission, one is to weaken the ruling power of Starry, and the other is to find the Piece of Eden, in fact, the two missions are unified." Greene said.
"What the hell is a Piece of Eden?" Tang Tu asked. It wasn't the first time they'd been exposed to the concept of a Piece of Eden, but he never understood what it was for.
"Pieces of Eden... Artifacts left behind by the Precursors, legendary weapons used by the creator gods, they possess mysterious and powerful powers, and both we and the Templars are studying their use. β
"I heard you have a piece in your hand?"
"I..."
Ge Lin suddenly stopped talking, and at the same time raised his hand to stop Tang Tu from continuing the topic. Tang Tu looked up, only to find that a stranger had walked into the carriage.
"This train is so beautiful, and Miss McBin is telling me about it. Hey gentlemen, my name is Ned. Bad Nat please forgive me for being uninvited. β
Ned held out his hand, and Greene shook her hand.
Ned is dressed as a man, but her **** and accent indicate that she is a woman dressed as a man. Of course, in some eras, women wear men's clothes when they go out, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"I won't take up much of your time, if you're going to learn about the best transshipment system in the world, you might as well come to me here."
Ned pulled out a business card, and Greene took it. Ned's purpose seemed to have been achieved, and she saluted and turned to leave.
"Ned... This kind of name should be set by the plot, and most players will not take this kind of name. Van Gogh said.
That's right, this Ned is a gamer, and after she introduces herself, she doesn't have a name refresh on the top of her head.
"She's a player, probably doing a special quest like the one we met before." Tang Tu said.
Greene put Ned's business card on the shelf, "Alright, let's get down to business." Finding the Precursor artifact could help us better understand the Templars' intentions, and as far as we know, Starley still has at least one Piece of Eden in his possession.
I've gathered some information on Starry and his friends, and you should be able to use them. Come, look here. β
Greene creates an assassination wall, with Starry at the center, radiating characters close to him. Dark shadows replace the images of these people on the wall, and the matters related to them are marked next to them.
Tang Tu crossed his arms and looked at the wall and asked Green, "This is Starry's network, destroying the important people on these nodes, and Starry's career is self-defeating, so who should we start with first?" β
Pointing to one of the dark shadows, Greene said, "Lately there have been advertisements for Starley's analgesic potions, which have brought him huge profits, and I even suspect that the potions have illegal ingredients in them." I suggest you start your investigation here, and based on the intelligence we've gotten, those potions may have been made in the Lambeth district. β
"What's going on in Lambeth?" Tang Tu asked.
"As far as I know, the analgesic potion has become the only medicine available in Lambeth, and it is approved by the Grand Master Templars, who have a monopoly on the drug market. You can disguise yourself as a patient and go to the doctor there. Greene said.
"Then let's start with this analgesic potion." Tang Tu said.
Tang Tu and Van Gogh are planning to go on a new mission. A child from the Naughty Boy Gang suddenly rushed into the carriage.
"Mr. Green, Mr. Bell sent me an urgent shipment, and he said that there is something very important."
The child shoved the letter into Green's hand, then took off his hat and turned to run.
Tang Tu and the others naturally stopped and asked, "What happened to Bell?" β
Greene opened the letter and read it for a while, "It's indeed a very important matter, and the matter of investigating the analgesic potion will be postponed for a while." Bell intercepted a message with an independent line, Lucy. Thonn was waiting for a shipment to arrive tonight.
She is one of Starry's experts in the occult. I was almost certain that the shipment she was waiting for was David. The Piece of Eden mentioned by Sir Brewster. I need you to get that shipment, here's the address, good luck to you. β
Tang Tu took the note handed by Ge Lin, with an address written on it, and he quickly found this place on the system map.
"Let's go, let's go grab something."
Tang Tu and Van Gogh arrived at the designated place, and they leaned on the roof diagonally opposite, observing the movement in the street below.
Soon it was getting dark.
A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove down the street, and Lucy. Thorn appeared, and a bald man stood beside her.
The bald man was followed by two men, who walked to the carriage carrying a heavy suitcase, and they carried it onto the carriage.
"The contents of that box are more important than your life or even your family, you know?" Horn said solemnly to the bald man.
The bald man looked a little nervous, "I know, Miss Sonn." The bald man scratched his head and shouted to the person carrying the goods, "That one over there!" Be careful! Call a few more men to guard the truck! β
"You said that His Excellency Starry has some documents for me to see, where are the documents?" Soon asked the bald man.
"Oh yes, please come with meβ" The bald man led Soon into the next apartment.
On the roof diagonally opposite, Tang Tu and Van Gogh have not yet moved.
"What's going on? It's not that there's a shipment delivered, it's more like Sone has a shipment to be sent. Van Gogh said.
"Maybe Bell misheard, after all, it's an antique telecommunications line, and the eavesdropping effect may not be very good. Regardless of the details, the cargo box in the car is still our target.
There was a sniper on each side of the building, and two guards disguised as passers-by below, and just as the two carrying the boxes walked away, we only had to kill four of them, and then set up the carriage and drove away. β
"Okay, it's still the old rule, one person is responsible for one, you use the flying knife well, the sniper in the distance belongs to you, and the one near belongs to me."
"OK, let's get moving."
Under the cover of night, Van Gogh fired his rope gun, slid to the roof of the opposite building, and then rolled over and jumped onto the balcony below, killing the sniper hiding there.
Tang Tu found a good angle, and directly used the flying knife of the Phantom Hidden Blade, and the sniper on the opposite floor was diagonally in the center.
The two then jumped downstairs and killed the two guards who were disguised as passers-by for a walk.
Tang Tu jumped into the carriage first, opened the box and took a look, there were several books and a bunch of documents inside, no wonder it was so heavy.
Van Gogh jumped into the driver's seat.
At this time, the two guys carrying the box came back again, and when they saw Tang Tu and the two, they immediately shouted, and then a group of people in black ran out.
"Let's go, get rid of them in the city." Tang Tu shouted.
Van Gogh shook off his whip and whipped the horse, and the carriage rushed into the street. Almost instantly, several carriages came from all directions, chasing after Tang Tu and the others.
Tang Tu took out a pistol, at this distance and speed, the pistol was better used than a throwing knife.
Tang Tu's marksmanship is still not good, but he has a new idea, the person sitting in the car is not easy to shoot, but the target of the horse is relatively large, and he can shoot the horse to achieve the purpose of preventing the other party from chasing.
Tang Tu's carriage was relatively simple, and its speed was obviously inferior to the other party's fully equipped carriage. Horse-drawn carriages kept appearing from the streets, getting closer and closer to them.
Tang Tu shot most of the horses, causing many vehicles to overturn on their backs, but still two carriages approached, and a man in black jumped into their carriage.
Tang Tu drew his short sword and hit the other party, then pushed him off the carriage.
Looking at the increasing number of enemies, Tang Tu shouted, "It's not okay to go on like this, the city is their main battlefield, go to the train tracks, and use the train to leave here." β
"OK, be careful, I'm going to speed up." Van Gogh shouted, and the whip whipped the horses harder.
Stimulated by pain, the horses ran like crazy, and the carriage shook even more violently.
However, there were still enemies chasing after him, and Tang Tu had to hold the car with one hand and shoot with the gun with the other, which made his hit rate even lower.
The tracks are already visible in front of you, and there is a train passing behind you.
Van Gogh shouted at Tang Tu, "The car is coming, we have to jump off, what about the box?" β
This box was too heavy, and Tang Tu obviously couldn't jump off the train with it. Tang Tu opened the box and opened the eagle eye, only one book glowed yellow.
Tang Tu took the book into his arms and shouted, "Prepare to jump out of the car." β
"Woo~" The train came, Tang Tu jumped down first, and Van Gogh followed.
As the train sped away from the city, Tang Tu and Van Gogh stood on top of the train and waved at the carriages parked on the side of the street.
Back on the train Bertha, Tang Tu handed the book to Green.
Greene looked at it for a moment and said, "Although you didn't find the Piece of Eden, this document is quite valuable. Look, it says the London Assassins have found the Holy Shroud..."
"What is the Holy Shroud?" Van Gogh asked.
"The Holy Shroud of Eden can heal the worst wounds, such important information, we don't even know, it must be something in between." Greene said.
Tang Tu looked at the words in the book, the eagle eye opened silently, and a pattern appeared on the paper.
"Hey, see, the picture above seems to be some kind of guidance, where is this building?" Tang Tu asked, pointing to the piece of paper with the pattern appearing.
Van Gogh's eagle eye level was not enough, he couldn't see the picture, but Greene could see it.
"This is the Kenway Mansion, I've been there before." Greene traced the pattern on another blank piece of paper.
"This is the clue of the Holy Shroud, are you going to come with us this time?" Tang Tu asked Ge Lin.
Greene nodded, "I'll show you the way, the Holy Shroud is too important, I have to go myself." β
After getting off the train, Ge Lin took Tang Tu and the two to steal a carriage on the side of the road, and Ge Lin personally drove the carriage.
"Our destination is Edward. Kenway's home, he was a very famous master assassin and pirate. He may have found the Holy Shroud, but something happened before he could report it to the Order. Greene said.
"Holy Shroud... Sounds like a shroud. Van Gogh said.
Tang Tu silently glanced at Van Gogh and didn't say anything.
"Legend has it that the Holy Shroud brings people back to life, but according to past Assassins, this is not true. To be honest, I've never heard of it in London, and it's hard to believe Kenway found it. Greene said.
As he spoke, the carriage stopped, and Greene pointed to the apartment across the street and said, "That's where we're going." Look, it looks like someone is looking for something in the yard. β
Tang Tu looked over and found that the person in the courtyard turned out to be an acquaintance, it was the bald man who was with Soon before.
Tang Tu and the three did not act rashly, but lurked nearby to observe the situation.
After a while, a carriage came to the door of the apartment. Thorn stepped out of the car.
Sonn turned his back to his assistant and said, "I'll be in the study, don't bother me unless you have news about the loss of your notebook." β
Thorn walked into the apartment, and several of her men remained outside to guard.
Greene sighed, "I really didn't expect this to become a Templar fortress, and our operation this time will not be easy." β
"Don't worry, we're assassins, walking in the shadows, infiltrating is what we're good at, Master Green, you stay outside to pick up, and the two of us go in to find clues." Tang Tu said.
"Well, you have to be careful." Greene said.
Tang Tu opened his eagle eye, and the enemies in the apartment appeared in his eyes with red light, as well as seven other items that glowed yellow.
"Our goal is the seven things inside, as for those enemies, try to avoid them, if you can't avoid them, kill them, use a little sharp, and act quietly." Tang Tu said to Van Gogh.
Van Gogh nodded.
Tang Tu got up and ran out, and Van Gogh followed. The two men obviously don't go through the main entrance, but go around to the side of the apartment, where the windows on the first floor are open and can be sneaked into.
The operation went smoothly, Van Gogh became more and more proficient, and with Tang Tu, they easily got seven things.
However, just as they were about to leave, Tang Tu's eagle eye turned on again, and this time the piano in a nearby room turned yellow.
"Wait a minute, there's still something in there."
Tang Tu pushed the door into the room, and Van Gogh followed behind and carefully closed the door.
Tang Tu opened the lid, and the four keys on the keyboard lit up one after another. Tang Tu pressed the keys in order, and an entrance opened on the floor behind him. (To be continued.) )
