Shanghai, Hilton Hotel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's already twelve o'clock in the evening, and even the laid-back Hilton can't be as bustling as it is during the day, with only a handful of insomniacs in the bar and drunkards with large bills in their pockets holding bottles and reluctant to leave. An unknown figure in a pitch-black trench coat sat quietly in a dark corner, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have noticed that there was another person in the corner. Twelve o'clock is the most sleepy time of the day, the bartender yawns listlessly while casually wiping the crystal glass in his hand, some of the guests sitting at the bar keep telling jokes in Arabic, the companions on the side laugh, some hug the woman in red and kiss passionately, and one even tears off the suit on the upper body, smashes the wine glass in his hand on the ground and smashes it, and the bartender is "fifty yuan for a cup" and then doesn't bother to pay attention.

The whole bar was now in a state of sleepiness and semi-madness, except for the pitch-black figure sitting in the corner, who took a shallow sip of a glass of "PinkLady" on the table in front of him, and then continued to watch the farce in the bar in this unnoticed corner, as if watching "The Great Dictator" in the movie theater, the corners of the figure's mouth looked happy.

"It's not like you, I'm telling the truth." A voice sounded at the door of the bar and landed in the ears of the figure, but it seemed to be a little loud, and the eyes of the entire bar were on the person at the door. Dressed in a modest black tuxedo, with a top hat on his head, he carried a civilization stick with a jewel on it in his right hand, and a black patent leather briefcase in his left hand.

This outfit definitely doesn't look like a traveler's outfit, but who cares about him. Sitting at the bar, a wealthy Kuwaiti businessman held up his whiskey in his hand and shouted "Good evening, friend" to the new gentleman in Arabic before laughing out loud in a friendly manner. As if he could understand, the gentleman smiled like a standard European gentleman and waved at the wealthy Kuwaiti businessman.

The gentleman walked to the bar, and the sleepy bartender came over, "Guest, what do you want to drink, but the kitchen is closed, and if you want to eat cake, you won't have to wait until after eight o'clock." ”

"No problem." The gentleman took out a dozen hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and held them in his hand, "Is there a White Horse Village in '94?" ”

"This." The bartender hesitated for a moment, the trained bartender naturally knew what White Horse Village was, but it was impossible for a small bar like such an expensive red wine to be in stock in a big hotel, "If you really want to drink, I suggest you go to the hotel's restaurant, but at this time, there shouldn't be anyone." ”

The bartender glanced at the Swiss Aesop watch on his wrist, and the hands on the black dial all pointed to "XII", and it was now past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

"That's it, it's okay little brother, then get me a glass of Munich beer." The gentleman smiled slightly, pulled out one of the bills he was holding, and put it on the bar, "There should be one this time." ”

"Then please wait a minute." The bartender took the hundred-yuan bill on the bar, walked to the side and took out a one-liter beer glass, took a full cup in the beer machine, walked back and handed it to the gentleman, and at the same time put a handful of yuan next to the beer glass, "This is your wine, this is your change, a total of five hundred and seventy yuan, and the exchange rate here is calculated according to one to six." ”

"No, it's your tip." The gentleman never minded that handful of banknotes being flaunted in front of the lady as a tip, and the lady in red, who was kissing on the side, happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, and immediately pushed away the man who held him in his arms, and caught up with the gentleman, but the gentleman did not look back, but handed a note back. The Lady in Red took the note, which read, "Your sling is leaking out."

"Ahh The Lady in Red exclaimed softly, adjusted the sling back to her shoulder, and then watched coldly as the gentleman walked towards the dark corner of the bar with a large glass of beer. When the wealthy Kuwaiti businessmen saw this, they immediately burst out laughing, and laughter filled the entire bar, followed by the clinking of glasses and shouting.

"I said, it's not like you, shouldn't you join in?" The gentleman sat down beside the figure, took a long sip of beer, and then placed the beer glass on the table, "You look like a bystander now." ”

"We are spectators, always." The figure spoke, the sweet voice was like an angel's chant, a beautiful face under the long black hair, the emaciated figure wrapped in a black tweed trench coat, the whole person was motionless in the sofa, and the "PinkLady" on the table in front of him seemed to be unmoved. The man stared intently at the wealthy Kuwaiti businessmen who were laughing loudly.

"It's been a long time, and you're still so annoying, and you'll only give orders behind your back." The gentleman shook his head helplessly, then leaned over and picked up "PinkLady", took a sip, and then turned around with a wine glass and looked at the woman's outfit on the side, "It's summer, even if the air conditioner is turned on, it's twenty-five degrees here, aren't you hot?" ”

"If it was hot, I would have taken it off." The woman glanced at the gentleman, "I've drunk that wine." ”

"Really?" The gentleman looked at the pink liquor in the glass and shook his head, "Why did you tell me now?" ”

"You didn't ask." The woman replied lightly.

"That's why I said, you're just annoying." The gentleman reluctantly put it back on the table, "It's like always having a voice changer when making a phone call." ”

"That's character, you know what?" The woman frowned, obviously feeling irritated by the gentleman's rambling, "Without further ado, what's the progress?" ”

"Progress? It's a little rewarding, but I've traveled halfway around the world to find what you're looking for. The gentleman opened the briefcase beside him, pulled out a large envelope from it, and handed it to the woman, "Be careful, there are small parts in it." ”

"Really?" The woman glanced at the gentleman suspiciously, and then was about to open the envelope, but the woman suddenly stopped her movements and handed the envelope back to the gentleman, "Do you feel it?" ”

"Of course, she's been traveling with me for almost half a year." The gentleman was unfazed and took another sip of beer.

"It's amazing that you can bring a little tail." The woman smiled slightly, picked up the "PinkLady" from the table and drank it down, "I'll keep the things first, Saber, you go out and catch up with her." ”

"Yes, Master." The gentleman stroked his chest and bowed, picked up the stick of civility, got up and left the bar.

The night in Shanghai is always beautiful, especially the Bund across the river, and the riverside scenery with high middle and low sides always attracts millions of people every year to stimulate the development of Shanghai's tourism economy. At this time, there are fewer and fewer tourists on the Bund, but there are still a considerable number of them, a man and a woman strolling on the beach like lovers, one wearing a black tuxedo and the other wearing a white dress.

"Give it back to me! Saber！ The woman glared fiercely at Saber beside her, "You are dressed very formally, and your heart is very obscene." I didn't expect you to steal a girl's things, give it back to me! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're friends, aren't we? I think there must be some misunderstanding, so let's talk about how things are going and don't jump to conclusions, Artoria. Gentleman Saber smiled and looked down at the girl beside him, who was half a head shorter than himself, with a soft face.

"Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting." Artoria grimaced at Saber, "You want to discuss the plot development, no problem, didn't you just steal my stuff while I was on the toilet at the airport?" Well? ”

"How is it possible, I obviously was, I picked it up." Saber laughed as she looked at Artoria's grimace.

"Picked up? Who will believe this nonsense! I don't believe it anyway. Artoria took a step back, then lifted the hem of her skirt and grabbed the holster tied to her leg, "You don't mind killing you here if you don't give me, this time I'm switching to live ammunition, and I'm sure the guy from London didn't come." ”

"He didn't come, but someone else didn't come." Saber lowered his head and put his hand on Artoria's shoulder, "Calm down, there are too many people here, you don't want to cause casualties." ”

"You have to take care of it!" Artoria took the grip of the gun and I could pull out the pistol and shoot at Saber at any moment, but the pedestrians around were curious to look here, and the cameraman who was shooting the night scene not far away turned his camera and pressed the shutter. From here, it's less like a duel that's about to happen, but more like men and women dancing to the music.

"You want your stuff, let go of the gun first." Saber's hand on Artoria's shoulder increased, Artoria's body tilted to the side, and the hand holding the handle of the pistol subconsciously grabbed Saber's shoulder, and the other hand pushed Saber's chest, "Look, she's coming." ”

Artoria stood firm, and Saber withdrew the hand that was on Artoria's shoulder, pointing in the direction behind Artoria, who looked in the direction of Saber's finger, and a woman in a black trench coat was walking with a handbag, and his high-heeled boots rattled on the stone floor.

"Who is she?" Artoria immediately became alert, and her hands subconsciously groped around her waist, but in order to cover it up, there was naturally nothing around his waist.

"No problem, she, what do you say?" Saber thought for a moment, "She's the kind of woman who can get dizzy for half an hour, woman." ”

"Hmmm······" Artoria was momentarily speechless. And the master, who had already walked in front of the two, raised his eyebrows, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, pinched his waist, and said to Saber.

"I hear you."

"I know, I did it on purpose." Saber didn't feel any threat, shrugged his shoulders, turned his face to the side, seeing Saber behaving like this, the master didn't pay attention to him anymore, looked at Artoria who was at the same level as himself on the side, with a friendly smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand that didn't hold anything, "Hello, my name is Su Ling, it's this gentleman's uncle, well, it's the boss." ”

“······” Artoria was completely devastated, thinking that since this girl is Saber's boss, she should be her enemy, even if she doesn't start a fight as soon as you meet, she shouldn't put on such a kind face, do you want to recruit me? Or is it ecstasy? No, no, I can't be fooled. However, people are the first to reach out, and if they don't take it themselves, doesn't it seem a little too measured? Artoria's heart was filled with hesitation.

"Well, hello, my name is ······ Artoria. Artoria hesitantly stretched out her right hand, but Su Ling pulled it over, and the smile on her face did not decrease but increased, "This is not suitable for conversation, let's find a place to talk slowly." ”

After that, Su Ling and Artoria ran up the river embankment, Saber shook his head helplessly, with a helpless smile on his face, followed behind the two, and walked unhurriedly.

I don't know how far I went, but Artoria didn't remember anyway, and the three of them entered a bar in the Shanghai Hilton Hotel. As soon as he entered the door, Su Ling shouted with a smile at the wealthy Kuwaiti businessmen who were talking and laughing in front of the bar.

"Hello uncles."

The wealthy Kuwaiti businessmen raised their glasses in unison, and shouted hello to Su Ling with a drunken smile on their faces. This situation confused Artoria, but before Artoria could react, Su Ling pulled her to the bar and called the bartender.

"Little brother, I want two glasses of Coke, and." Su Ling glanced at Saber who was sitting next to him and rolled his eyes, "And a glass of warm lemonade, thank you." ”

"That, lemonade, is it for me?" Saber asked, with a tangled face.

"I don't know, we both drink Coke anyway, and you can do the rest yourself." Su Ling didn't look at Saber either. After a while, the three drinks that Su Ling ordered were brought up by the bartender, and after Su Ling handed the bartender a hundred yuan yuan, he snatched two glasses of Coke, "You can refill the lemonade for free, you can play by yourself." ”

Saber sat down in a distant seat with a bitter face in his lemonade and asked the bartender for ice. Seeing Saber walking away, Su Ling twisted his face towards Artoria, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious face.

"Do you know what you found?" Su Ling looked at Artoria directly, and her dark pupils seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Artoria shuddered and shrank back.

"Don't be afraid, what Saber said is true, I really don't have any strength at all, if you want to kill me, it's just a matter of seconds, I still have to sit in front of you and ask you personally, do you know what you found?" Su Ling leaned his face over and pressed against Artoria step by step.

"Of course I do." It wasn't that Su Ling imagined that he was nervous, but Artoria burst out with an astonishing calmness in the face of the tense situation, and Saber not far away clenched the top of the civilization stick.

"Of course I do." Artoria repeated, "The unknown metal I dug up in Volkan, even the metal detector didn't respond to him, but it was stolen by Saber at Pudong Airport. ”

"But I heard that before that, you had been chasing Saber, why? Do you know Saber's mission? Su Ling took a sip of Coke, and the ice cubes collided with each other in the cup, making a pleasant sound.

"Yes, I did follow Saber all the time. But I didn't know about Saber's mission, and I met him before I left Moscow, and he killed a man. Artoria said indignantly, picking up her glass and taking a sip of Coke.

"Saber kills? I don't believe it, I think there is some misunderstanding. Su Ling frowned and shook his head.

"How impossible, I saw it with my own eyes." Artoria was a little excited.

"You saw Saber kill the guy you said?" Su Ling looked at Artoria coldly.

"I ······" Artoria was speechless. That's right, how did I catch up with Saber in the first place, I saw Saber sneakily watching Ye Zifeng talking to himself outside the Roman café, and saw Saber's stabbing sword showing a corner, as if it was because of these details that he chased Saber for half a year and ran half the world, and he wasn't sure if he killed Berlanke.

"Nothing to say? Then I have to doubt your motives, you followed Saber for half the world and finally found this metal first, you dare to say that this is not your goal? The expression on Su Ling's face became colder and colder, "Do you dare to say that Saber killed people is not an excuse you made up?" ”

"Of course I dare to say it!" Artoria got up, her cheeks flushed with anger, and she looked as if she had drunk too much.

"Oh? Is it? Su Ling sneered, "Then tell me, how did Saber kill people?" ”

"What I saw with my own eyes, a five-centimeter-long needle shot out of the monitor and pierced Brown's brain. I saw it with my own eyes. Artoria couldn't control her emotions a little, and tears flowed down her face, wetting her face and her clothes. Artoria grabbed the Coke from the bar and drank it down, "I'm a little unwell, I'll talk about the rest tomorrow." ”

With that, Artoria snatched the door, ran to the front desk and opened a room, paid the deposit, and took the elevator as if fleeing.

"Looks like I misunderstood her." Su Ling muttered to herself, "She's really, very sad." ”

"What's wrong, what's the result?" This is Saber who walked over with lemonade and walked to Su Ling's side.

"Did you kill someone?" Su Ling frowned, looked at Saber, and asked puzzled.

"Huh? Why do you ask? Saber also frowned, looking at Su Ling with the same puzzle, "You know, I've never killed anyone. ”

"I believe in you." Su Ling lowered his head, "I just asked casually." ”

“······” Saber looked at Su Ling, who was silent, and looked a little worried, "It's okay, let's rest early." The bar is a little too early for you, a nineteen-year-old girl who is not in love. ”

Saber patted Su Ling on the shoulder, and then drank the lemonade, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

He put the cup on the bar and left the bar with the civilization stick. Wealthy Kuwaiti businessmen on the side, already drunk, raised their glasses and shouted "Have a good dream" in Arabic to Saber.

"Is it too early?" Su Ling suddenly laughed, "It should be too late." ”

After speaking, Su Ling stopped caring about the Coke on the bar and left the bar.
