Chapter Forty-Eight: Escape from Danger

The captain shrugged and said, "Then you can check, if you can't find anyone, you have to compensate me for my losses." ”

"Yes," Lao A waved his hand, "check it for me!" Several of his men searched the rear compartment.

By this time, it was getting dark, and the mast lights were lit on the aft deck.

In the dim light, several robot killers stooped over with pistols in hand, stooping around, searching everywhere.

Richard and Narissa were hiding under a stack of chests, outside of a canvas canopy, and they hid so hidden that they couldn't be seen from the outside.

Richard had an idea, took out his mobile phone, made a call, and after the phone was connected, he whispered: "Is it Charlie the dwarf?" ”

After waiting for a while, Charlie's voice came: "Hmm...... It's me, you're ...... Who? ”

"I'm Richard."

"Ah, it's Chief Li, you, you, you...... Is there something wrong with you? ”

"Where did you die after coming out of the Imperial Bank, ah, Charlie?"

"I, I, I...... Didn't want to be sent back to jail by you, so ......"

"Damn, let's stop talking about these eggs, you can come and save us right away!"

"Save ...... Where are you and what's wrong? ”

"We're hiding on a cargo ship, the robot killer is chasing us, it's very dangerous, you have to get here as soon as possible."

"Hmm...... Well, I'll come, what exactly is your location? ”

"The third pier of the Mefin River, the fifth berth. It was a Greek cargo ship. Ship No. 3028. ”

"I know, you hide, wait, I'll come."

After putting down the phone, there was a sound of "click, click" footsteps outside the tent, and several leather shoes appeared outside the canvas tent, and the two covered their mouths, not daring to make any sound.

After a long time, the footsteps faded away, and Richard turned on the miniature flashlight and looked at his watch.

The hands of the watch pointed to 12:30, it was already midnight, Charlie had not yet arrived, and the two were very anxious.

Na Lisa whispered: "Let's escape, it's not a long-term solution to stay here." ”

"No, wait, I guess those killers aren't gone, they're waiting for us to show their feet."

The two of them waited for about an hour, when the roar of the speedboat engine was heard from the river, and after the sound, the surroundings gradually fell silent.

It's three o'clock, and Charlie hasn't shown up yet.

Could it be that Charlie broke his word? If you don't come or not, is it a temporary change of hexagram? Or maybe this kid is afraid of death and doesn't dare to come?

Richard muttered to himself, suddenly, his mobile phone screen lit up, and when he looked down, it was a message: My speedboat is at the stern of the cargo ship, you guys come down.

Richard and Na Lisa discussed it with their eyes, and quietly crawled out from under the canvas, they did not dare to walk, because it was estimated that there were still killers left on the deck.

Sure enough, they saw several dark shadows, faintly hidden behind a pile of goods, and a spark flickering, apparently smoking; There were also a few black shadows, crouching above the control room, looking around, each holding a stick in their hands, which must have been a sniper rifle.

Richard crawled slowly towards the stern of the boat, he climbed very slowly, slowly, trying not to make a sound, and Lisa followed him closely.

After a short distance, they climbed for an hour, and when they reached the stern, they looked down and saw a black shadow, directly below the stern.

If you can't go down without a rope, what should I do, Richard climbed back again, found a long rope, put it down, and the two followed the rope and hung down.

"You're coming," said Charlie's face, pale and tired in the darkness.

The two of them stepped onto the edge of the speedboat and shook a few times before they got into the cabin.

Charlie smiled, stepped into the cockpit, started the engine, and the speedboat started, gradually moving away from the cargo ship.

When the speedboat reached the river, Charlie turned his head and increased the throttle, and the speedboat sped forward like a sharp arrow......

When the three of them landed, it began to rain.

Together, they took a taxi to Charlie's small apartment on the outskirts of the city.

For the sake of safety, Richard can't go back to his old house on Riverside Road now, he is afraid that the robot killer will wait for the rabbit.

Charlie took out a bottle of wine to reward the two, and Li and the two of them had a storm and gobbled it up.

The rest of their lives after the catastrophe made the three of them sigh and sigh with emotion.

Soon, Lisa was too drunk to drink, and Richard and Charlie were still clinking glasses and drinking.

After a full meal, Richard fell into a deep sleep.

Charlie had already had the idea of playing the crystal skull in his heart, he knew that this art could make a lot of money on the black market, and now the opportunity was in front of him, if he didn't take it for nothing, he didn't do it, he didn't stop it, picked up the small box containing the skull, and quietly left.

Charlie has been in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and has many friends from all walks of life, and most of them live in the section street.

Although he was good at opening combination locks, when he didn't have money to spend, he used to resell drugs, antiques, and sometimes Outer Egyptian arms from Greece and Egypt. These underworld businesses have made him a lot of money.

His way of making money is not to pour goods, but to build a network, with which business naturally exists.

He suddenly remembered a brother named "Ghost Face Man" in rivers and lakes, who was familiar with the land, had a wide range of contacts, had many channels, and had poisonous methods. This big deal of skulls, if you want to make a lot of money, you still have to find him.

Lot Street is a red-light district, with brothels and smoke houses all over the street.

He knew that the Ghostfaces' favorite place to go was "Blue Moon", where all the super beauties were stunning beauties from various surrounding countries.

When he arrived at the Blue Moon, he inquired and found that the Ghostface was really playing here.

After announcing his name, the waiter soon led him into a private private room on the third floor.

When he opened the door, he saw that the Ghostface was waiting for him inside.

"Yo, isn't this Charlie the thief? Didn't you go to jail? Recently, I heard about it, and I didn't come to see me, where did I fool around? Ghostface scoffed.

"Hehe, big brother, I recently took a big business, helped people pick locks, and got a treasure."

"Oh, baby, what is valuable, did you bring it? Let me open my eyes? ”

Charlie trusts the ghost-faced man very much, he was born and died together, and the sword mountain and fire broke through the world, so he didn't shy away from him, and directly took out the box, opened the lid, and took out the crystal skull.

The ghost-faced man's eyes lit up, he reached out and took it, played with it for a while, shook his head, and said, "This is the Crystal Skull, right, but unfortunately I'm not interested in it." What, you're going to make a move? ”

"Yes, big brother, many institutions and mysterious people regard it as a treasure, robbing it openly and secretly, setting off bursts of bloody rain."

"I know this, and there has been a rumor on the trail lately, saying that the crystal skull is a container of knowledge left by the ancients, and it is a priceless treasure. Whoever blows it up to the gods and says that whoever gets it has the destiny of all mankind in his hands. Hey, is it so evil? ”

Charlie patted his chest and said, "This is true, it is said that someone has made a special identification, and a lot of information and technical knowledge has indeed been called up from it." ”

The ghost-faced man remained silent and said, "I've been selling people lately, and I'm not interested in this. But I know a foreigner from Greece who brought up the crystal skull and asked if anyone was tossing it upside down. ”

"Greeks? It doesn't matter which country he is from, whoever recites the scriptures is a Buddha, and whoever pays a high price will give it to whomever he wants, this is an old routine. ”

"Hmm...... Well, go to the 'Love Sea Nightclub' and find a Greek named Sauber, and if you call me me, he will buy it, and maybe he will be the real buyer." ”

Charlie stood up, "Okay, big brother, thank you." Then he turned around and went out.

In the evening, Charlie came to the "Love Sea Nightclub", the neon lights at the door lit up with colorful flames, and the wives and ladies of the jewels went in and out, so lively.

Charlese tipped the waiter a few dollars and asked him to bring a Greek named Sauber to his box.

Soon, a tall, handsome man with a curly head pushed the door open and asked, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"Me." Charlie stretched out his hand, shook the other's hand, and said, "The Ghostface introduced me." ”

The man leaned back on the sofa with a grin, "It's a ghost-faced man, enough friends." Oh, what's your last name? ”

"The people of the river and lake call me Charlie the dwarf, so call me Charlie in the future."

"Very well, Charlie, my name is Sauber, I'm from Greece, what's the matter with me?" Sauber's expression was very wary, and those blue eyes were fixed on Charlie's face.

"Oh, friend, don't be nervous, it's a business business, I have something to do."

"What's that?"

"Since it was recommended by a friend, I won't go around the bend, well, are you interested in the crystal skull?"

"What? Crystal skull? Head...... Bone...... I'm ...... Did I hear me right? Sauber's eyes widened.

"That's right, it's the Crystal Skull."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I, Charlie, never sell fakes, which is well-known in rivers and lakes."

Little did Sobo know that he had come to Atlantis on the commission of an important person in the Greek court, whose first task was to find the crystal skull and bring it back to Greece. He searched in every possible way, inquired around, and touched his head full of blisters, and he didn't find a single hair when he stepped on the iron shoes, why did he suddenly fall from the sky today? Did God really come out to help?

Sauber is a veteran, he doesn't want to be cheated, and he doesn't want to be slaughtered. He deliberately didn't look anxious, and said casually: "Ahem, I'm not interested in the fake skulls on the market now." ”

Charlie, of course, saw that Sauber's indifference was deliberately pretended, and deliberately teased him: "Oh, such a good product, why no one wants it, cough, forget it, I can't find a real person with vision, I'd rather throw it into the sea than sell it to someone who doesn't know the goods." ”

Charlie picked up the box and was about to walk out, "Wait! There was a break from behind, but Sauber couldn't hold his breath and stood up eagerly.
