Chapter 5: The Chief
The church has been abandoned for many years, and it stands like a mound on the edge of the city, standing so quietly that even the homeless do not want to come to visit.
But Giuseppe Gallo loves to be here.
He likes to stand alone in front of the altar and think, sometimes one stop is the whole night.
The dark and empty environment gave him the illusion of being in a tomb, and once he got used to the coldness and loneliness, his mind would become very cold.
"Chief." In the darkness, suddenly someone spoke to him.
"Aradino......" Gallo immediately heard the voice of his subordinates, and responded, "The investigation has a result?" ”
"Yes, Chief." Aradino replied, "Marino's 'memories' have been recovered. ”
"Well......" Gallo knew the other meaning of the sentence, "may our brothers be forgiven in another world." With that, he slowly turned around and walked towards Aradino.
Gallo is tall, more than two meters, and his figure looks a little thin under his suit; He had an enviable head of pretty blonde hair, which he usually meticulously brushed back and tied into a not-so-long ponytail.
"So...... Give it to me. Gallo came half a meter in front of Aradino and stood still.
Aladino received the order, and immediately raised his right hand and put his hand on the other party's forehead.
Aradino is undoubtedly a capable person, and his ability is called "memory imprint", and in terms of his current "paper-level" actual performance, it is possible to burn the cranial cavity of others through continuous contact, and drain the memories of the first twenty-four hours of this life.
The extracted memories are different from normal memories and cannot be forgotten no matter what, just like a video recording that can be retrieved at any time, and it will be very clear when you recall it at any time.
Of course, if that's all there is to it, then this ability smacks of curse, because after using it too much, the user's own memories are likely to be overwhelmed by all kinds of memories from other people, and eventually lose themselves and go crazy.
Therefore, there is another use for this ability, which is "memory transfer" - Aladino can transfer his extracted memories to others, and each memory can only be "transferred" once; Once the transfer is complete, the memory becomes a normal, forgettable memory that exists in both Aradino and the transferred person's brain.
Right now, Aradino is transferring Marino's memories to Gallo's mind.
The process took a little longer than extracting the memories, taking about thirty seconds, and when it was done, Aladino lowered his hand and took a respectful step back.
And after getting the memory, Gallo actually showed a weird smile: "Hmph...... Jack Anderson ...... his smile disappeared again as he pronounced the name, "So, he's really back." ”
Aladino heard something in his words and cautiously probed, "You...... You've heard of him entering the city before? ”
"Heh......" Gallo chuckled, "Earlier today, Icefinger came to me and told me that he had met a man named Jack at the White Dove Bar last night, and that he had gone to greet him out of curiosity, only to be provoked, and then, after a fierce battle, he suffered a small loss and went to the hospital, while the other party fled in a hurry. ”
"If what he said is true, then the Jack he met is obviously not the same as the one we met today." Aladino replied.
"I didn't think the guy he was talking about 'going back and forth with him' couldn't be Jack." Gallo continued in a tone similar to lamentation, "But now it seems that this kid has slightly adapted the actual situation for the sake of his own face......"
"Deceive the chief......" Aladino continued, "It is a felony, and it should be ......."
"Be tolerant of young people." Gallo interrupted him, "Especially a young man with potential like Ice Finger, give him some opportunities appropriately." He paused, "If I'm like you, no matter what happens, I'm afraid that most of the brothers in the organization will be executed by ourselves." ”
"The leader is taught." Aladino bowed his head.
"Alright...... Don't mention that. Gallo casually replied and changed the subject, "I have one more thing for you to do. ”
The "you" he said, in addition to Aladino who walked into the church to make an announcement, naturally there were the three people who were waiting at the door.
"Command, chief." Aradino continued.
"You guys go and call Ice Finger now, and go with him to the White Dove Bar before midnight." Gallo Road.
Aladino knew, and there was something to be said about it: "And then? ”
"On the way there, don't tell him anything, just say that this is what I mean, and let him not ask more." Gallo continued.
"Then he probably thinks ...... You sent the four of us to stand up for him. Aladino thought as he spoke.
"yes, I just want him to think so." Gallo Road.
"But actually...... Not? Aradino said.
"Of course not." "If you're going to get Jack Anderson in trouble, you can't do it enough. ”
What he said was undoubtedly a thrill for Aladino as a killer, but the latter also knew it in his heart...... It's a fact.
"And what do we do when we meet Jack?" Aladino asked again.
Gallo smiled, "Let Bingzhi apologize to him." ”
As soon as these words came out, Aladino's eyes immediately changed: "Ice fingers...... What if not? ”
Gallo did not answer this question directly.
He turned his back to Aladino and walked slowly to the altar: "You just said...... Where is the sin of deceiving the leader? ”
At this moment, Aladino felt a chill, he lowered his head again, and said respectfully: "My subordinates understand. ”
"Well, go ahead." Gallo folded his hands behind his back, answered, and said no more.
After hearing this, Aradino also quietly turned around and exited the church. Once outside, he gestured for the three people waiting outside the door to follow him, and drove away.
And Gallo, after his men left, began to mumble in front of the altar: "Why does a man who only works for money come back after several years of retirement...... It's not necessarily an itchy hand, is it? ”
At the mention of the word "itchy hands", his own right hand twitched slightly, and then his five fingers twisted wildly like five rubber bands in a bend that was impossible for ordinary people to do.
"Besides......" Gallo pondered again, "why did the girl of the Ducho family carry out an assassination of him when I knew nothing about the news that the Killer God had come to Naples?" ”
With this in mind, he pondered for a moment.
Then, he pulled a cell phone out of his pocket.
There is only one number in the phone's address book, and there is no signature on the number.
Of course, Gallo knows it...... Who is the owner of this number.
