『【（( 1~

An adventure in Syria, with nothing to gain.

Back in London, Laura is disappointed. She spent her days and nights in her father's study, rummaging through piles of old papers, looking for clues to the source of the divine.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The door opened, and Laura looked up warily. It turned out to be Nan Xiao.

"You should rest properly," Nan Xiao held a plate, "Come, try the preserved egg and lean porridge I cooked, as well as the authentic Wang Zhi and red bean curd." ”

Selected fragrant rice from the black soil of Northeast China, with lean meat, preserved eggs, shredded ginger, chopped green onions, cornstarch, cooking wine, salt, chicken essence, lean meat is fresh and tender, and preserved eggs are fragrant and smooth, which is absolutely appetizing.

However, Laura is an Englishman, and there is no porridge with preserved eggs in the recipe. She looked at the preserved eggs in the porridge with a puzzled expression: "Huh...... Why did the eggs turn so weirdly black, and that red mud ......?"

"Authentic Wang Zhi and red bean curd." Nan Xiao smiled.

"Sorry, I'm not very appetizing."

Nan Xiao spooned a spoonful and put it in his mouth: "Okay, it's done, and it can't be wasted." Got a clue? ”

"No, but I'll find it! It can unlock the secret of immortality! It...... It can change everything. Sickness, suffering, death...... It's all gone! In pursuit of the truth, Dad sacrificed everything. Everyone misunderstood him, only he knew that what he was looking for was real. I can't turn my back on his wishes. Now that's all I have left. ”

Laura confidently clenched her fists and ignited her courage!

"Huh? What were you just talking about? Nan Xiao poured the last spoonful of preserved egg and lean porridge into his mouth and looked at Laura.

"Huh? No, there's nothing ......."

"Then I'll take the dishes to the kitchen."

Laura continued her research with a large notebook left by her father. Just then, the door opened again.

A table lamp on the floor illuminates a bronze vase. It was casually placed on the copper bottle on the side, and the shadow swayed.

"Mr. Knight?"

But no, it's a strange man with a gun. He was strong, with a pistol in his flat hand, and his footsteps were silent, and he approached Laura briskly.

Sensing that something was wrong, Laura reacted quickly. She grabbed the lamp and threw it at the uninvited guest who broke through the empty door. The opponent didn't expect Laura to react so quickly, and he didn't have time to dodge in a hurry, so he had to raise his hand to defend.

With a bang, the lamp smashed into the strange man's elbow. Fragments of the lamp flew everywhere.

Laura was defenseless at this point. In desperation, she waved the tome of notes left by her father and smashed it. This guy happened to smash into the hand of the strange man and smashed the gun off. And her notes flew out of her hands.

The two scuffled in the study. Laura, who had no professional martial arts training and was physically fit but couldn't perform, was kicked head-on to the waist and fell to the floor. She struggled to her feet, grabbed a round stool, and turned around and smashed it at the strange man. The man was well-trained, raised his left elbow to protect his head with precision, and knocked out Laura's round stool.

Smack, Laura took the man's backhand blow and fell to the ground.

The lamp with the smashed shade lay horizontally on one side of the floor, illuminating a corner. There, the strange man's knocked out pistol lay quietly.

Laura immediately crawled towards the pistol, only to be grabbed by the strange man on the calf. Of course, she was unwilling to be dragged away, so she fought back, broke free from the opponent's ankle-grabbing hand, and kicked the man in the face hard.

The man was very fierce, his nose bone was kicked crooked, and he did not let go of the hand that was gripping Laura's foot and neck. This is definitely a man who has been trained for many years, and has a lot of experience in martial arts, and he has long been used to pain. He didn't even wipe the blood from his face, he pounced on it, pressed Laura with his weight, and choked her neck tightly.

Laura rolled her eyes in a pinch. If no one rescued her, she would definitely be strangled to death on the spot.

At this moment, Nan Xiao pushed the door in, picked up the baguette in his hand, and snapped! A guy stuns a strange man.

"Ah, it's dangerous...... Laura, feeling her throat and getting up from the ground, her heart palpitating, "almost strangled to death by him." ”

Nan Xiao shook the tough baguette in his hand: "This is the least lethal weapon I found in a hurry." I'm afraid that hitting him with my bare hands will not give him the strength to get enough power, and I will beat him to death. ”

At this time, the man on the floor gradually moved again. He rubbed his forehead, in a trance, trying to sit up.

"You're a member of the Holy Trinity, aren't you? What to do at Crawford Manor? ”

"Hmph, you can't stop us!" The strange man sneered.

Nan Xiao took out his mobile phone, clicked, and took a photo of the strange man. "Believe it or not, I can get your entire file in five seconds."

The man continued to sneer: "It's useless to try to cheat me, my file, and few people in London can see it-"

"Didi!" Nan Xiao's phone screen lit up. In just a few seconds, Xiao P has found this person's profile through photo matching.

Nan Xiao glanced at the screen: "Oh, your name is Matthew, an Irish Catholic, who was once arrested for assaulting the police and sentenced to three years in prison." After you get out of prison, you end up in London, where you're hired by the Crawford family business. Interesting, don't you know that this Miss Laura Crawford is the largest shareholder of Crawford Enterprises? ”

Laura denied: "No, Mom is just missing, she's the biggest shareholder." She stared at the man in front of her, "You say he's an employee of the Crawford family business?" ”

"It's a member of Anna's direct investigation department."

"Anna?"

"Also a direct subordinate of Konstantin. Remember Konstantin, the man who attacked us in the ancient temple of Syria. ”

"Konstantin?"

The more the man listened, the paler his face became. "That's not right! There must be a traitor in our organization! How else can you know so clearly? He suddenly rolled over and got up, "You can't stop us!" ”

"Stop!" Laura raised her pistol at him.

The man was seven or eight meters from the study window. This distance was enough for Laura to hit him with the entire magazine. Laura, however, hesitated. She ordered loudly: "Stop! ", the finger hooked the trigger, but did not fire.

Well, the peaceful life in London has dulled Laura a bit. When she was on Yamatai Island, how sharp she was when she strangled people with a bowstring, but now she didn't dare to shoot.

In the blink of an eye, M1911 appeared in Nan Xiao's hand. He draws his gun and shoots in a fluid position. Bang! The man fell to the ground.

Died without pain. One shot shattered the cerebellum in charge of the living system, and he must have lost consciousness in an instant.

Laura put the gun away and looked solemn: "Anna...... She has always been her father's secretary and has been diligent ...... for so many years."

"This matter still needs to be investigated," Nan Xiao said, "and leave it to me." Perhaps, the whereabouts of the Divine Source can also be investigated. ”

"Hmm."

"Don't let Anna find out about it until then."

"Hmm."

"So, I'm going to go."
