"Whew~" Xia Lu took a deep breath and calmed her heartbeat, and the roar of the propeller of the police helicopter was heard in the distance, and it only took about five minutes to reach this place, and the assassin must be dealt with within this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info confirmed again that the target was aimed correctly, Xia Lu pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the gun flashed, Xia Lu didn't look to see if the bullet was shot down, nor did she see if it was a coincidental concentration, Xia Lu clearly understood, first the stunt of loading bullets was placed on the master opposite, and it was strange if it was unsuccessful.

Pulling the bolt hard, the sound of gunfire came into the ears, and it was obvious that the other party had successfully shot down her bullet again, and the assassin in the scope was jumping up and down with Ye Kexin, no, it should be said that there was something arguing.

There was no time to do precise aiming, and as the scope scurried over the Assassin's temple, Xia Lu pulled the trigger again.

"Get out of the way!" The sound of Archer's yelling in the headset made the Assassin subconsciously tilt her head back, but the bullet did not give her time to completely dodge, but the shot in the hurry made Xia Lu miss a little, and the bullet grazed the Assassin's head and flew past, hitting the vase as a decoration in front of the pillar in the distance, with a loud noise, the vase shattered into powder, and a blood stain slowly appeared on the Assassin's head, and the two people in the café were silent for a while, Ye Kexin slowly sat back in his seat, to be precise, he collapsed back to his seat, the expression on his face was a little dull, but the firmness in his eyes did not diminish at all.

The Assassin's expression remained unchanged, allowing the blood to slide down his forehead without wiping it.

"It seems that your refusal is very strong." The Assassin opened his mouth slowly.

Ye Kexin gradually came back to his senses, looking at the assassin with a calm face and a little decadent, he couldn't help but be wary, and quickly got up, took a step back, and his muscles tensed, as if he was a wild cat that had been on guard against predators, staring at the assassin who was drinking coffee slowly.

"It's a pity." Assassin put down the coffee cup and looked up at Ye Kexin, "I thought that the two sides would cooperate happily after you agreed, but you have practical actions to tell me that there will be no result if you continue to talk, so the negotiation is over." ”

The Assassin stood up and flicked his sleeve, a gleaming dagger sliding from his sleeve into his palm. Circling out from behind the table, the assassin slowly approached Ye Kexin.

"Not good." Xia Lu said in surprise, the front sight of the scope aimed at the assassin again, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, but there was no doubt that the bullet was shot down by the archer again, quickly pulled the bolt, made a reload action, and after aiming at the assassin carefully, he pulled the trigger again before the archer did not reload.

The old trick is repeated, and it is natural that there will be some defense, but the assassin's defense doesn't know if it is a little too simple or too gorgeous, and before he turned around and shot at Xia Lu, the dagger in his hand slashed forward, and the flying lead core kinetic energy bullet actually hit the blade, and split it from the central axis, and the rotating bullet bounced out to both sides after drawing a beautiful curved surface on the blade.

"......" For tonight, who was too surprised, Xia Lu was speechless, looking at the expressionless assassin, Xia Lu was powerless to complain both on the surface and psychologically. Pulling the bolt again, the seventh bullet was loaded, in the eyes of a dignified sniper, Xia Lu was already an extremely failed work, but the enemy Xia Lu faced tonight was really some, tricky, too tricky, so that Xia Lu had a feeling of powerlessness.

Xia Lu was about to pull the trigger, but a bullet accurately hit Dragonov's PSO-1 in Xia Lu's hand, and with a snap, the fragments of the sniper scope flew in all directions, and Xia Lu lost the tool to aim. A sniper who loses an observer loses his eyes, but a sniper who loses his scope is equivalent to losing his soul, but Xia Lu was not so frustrated, and quickly removed the PSO-1 from Dragunov, and Dragunov's own front sight became Xia Lu's only helper at this time. Gap, crosshair, target in a line, Xia Lu pulled the trigger for the seventh time, I don't know if Archer was not ready, or something happened, this time there was no bullet flying, but this also happened to fulfill Xia Lu, the bullet flew straight towards the assassin, but this time the assassin made a performance that was even more amazing, I didn't even look at it, and then waved my hand to split, and the bullet was split again, but this always uses a dagger to split the bullet, and there is also a lot of burden on the blade, Of course, the dagger that the assassin relied on for a living would not be willing to consume it like this, so he immediately stopped, stopped about a meter or so away from Ye Kexin, and stared straight at Ye Kexin.

"Lucky for you, this is my second mission failure." After the assassin said such a sentence coldly, he took off the earphones on his ears, stuffed them into the pocket of his hoodie, put away the dagger, and stared at Ye Kexin fiercely for about a second before turning around and leaving.

Dragunov, who had already filled the eighth bullet, did not get angry again, Xia Lu quickly cleaned up the parts around him, collected all the shells, and picked up the fragments of the sniper scope one by one, threw them into the black long box, picked up the box, and turned to leave.

Ye Kexin let out a long breath, and after watching the sound of the assassin disappearing on the street corner, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, the video conversion like the watch was not suitable for Ye Kexin, so he was thrown back into the suitcase after taking it once.

It's 10:50 p.m., and I've been here for twenty minutes.

Walking down the spiral ladder slowly, Xia Lu suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and touched the fluffy little guy on his chest, but the little guy was touched by Xia Lu, stretched out two front grabs and stretched his waist, and the seven loud noises just now didn't wake him up. A smile gradually appeared on her face, and Xia Lu bounced out of the dim alley.

A kilometer away, on the roof of a building.

"Whew~" The old man in white slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at the night view of Manhattan and the two police helicopters flying like blackbirds in the distance, and couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face.

"I'm glad you didn't fire the last shot." The old man even turned to Archer, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"It's really tiring to work with you." Archer shook his head helplessly.

"It's okay to get used to it, do you want one?" The old man took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Archer, "A good Cuban cigar, it tastes good." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not a smoker." Archer raised his hand to reject the old man's kindness, "I also advise you to smoke less, smoking is harmful to your health." ”

"Thank you for your advice." The old man lit the cigar and took a deep breath, "If it's okay, I'll go first, and if you want to contact me, I'll call my phone, but I'll turn off the phone after ten o'clock in the evening, and turn it on at eight o'clock the next morning, if you want to call, call while I'm turning it on." ”

"I see." Archer nodded, "You go first, I'm going to meet too." ”

"Well, although I feel a little unhappy that you shoot Ye Zifeng, but after all, we signed an agreement, and before the term of the agreement expires, I won't make a move on you, if you want to make a move, I will say it in advance."

"Thank you so much." Archer placed the L115A3 in the gun case and closed the lid with a bang, "You're so thoughtful." ”

"Don't be so wary, and don't doubt what I'm saying to you." The old man took another deep drag on his cigar.

"What you said, Su Ling, is it true?" Archer left the question behind and hurried downstairs.

Finish brushing over the roof of the building, blowing the white suit on the old man's body.

"Of course, really." The old man Nan Nan didn't snuff out the cigar without saying a word, and threw it downstairs directly.

Xia Lu looked at Ye Kexin, who was sitting opposite him in formal clothes, with a serious expression, his brows were slightly furrowed, his hands were embraced, and he looked like he was interrogating a prisoner, while Ye Kexin, who was sitting opposite Xia Lu, was a little embarrassed, his cheeks were slightly red, and he kept rubbing his hands between his knees, his eyes drifted a little, his head was lowered and he didn't dare to look at Xia Lu, and he looked like a child who had done something wrong when he faced the parents' questioning.

Holding Ye Kexin's mobile phone in his hand, an all-English text message was displayed on the organic superconducting glass screen, but Xia Lu, whose strength was definitely above level 8 in English, was naturally easily translated, no, skilled people don't need to translate to understand its meaning, and the simple interface shows five lines of English, which is translated into Chinese as "At 10:30 tonight, at Ninety-sixth Street, Central Park Cafe, meet, don't bring weapons, come alone, there is a very important thing to talk about, similar to, Mariana. ”

Ye Kexin's intermittent words were thrilling, at the meeting of the Security Council group, all the directors had signed a confidentiality agreement, except for reporting information to various presidents or prime ministers, it was impossible for news to be exposed, but the key word Mariana was clearly written in this text message, which had to make Ye Kexin anxious, once the news was exposed, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no turmoil a year ago, in order to keep it secret, Ye Kexin had to go to the meeting alone, but I don't know if it was a coincidence, or someone secretly arranged it, Xia Lu received a secret order from the Admiralty to assassinate the person who asked Ye Kexin to meet at the Central Park café, Xia Lu shot and sniped, and the negotiations naturally fell apart. Although the Assassin had the intention of killing Ye Kexin after knowing that the negotiations were hopeless to succeed, Xia Lu's threat made the Assassin have to stop, and the seventh bullet Archer, which was five seconds apart, did not shoot and snipe, which made the Assassin vigilant and couldn't help but stop.

After that, the Manhattan police helicopter flew to the scene, of course, Xia Lu and Ye Kexin had already fled after the round. The two women did not dare to go back to the hotel where they were staying, for fear that the students who came to study this time would be involved in the matter, so the two women walked around Manhattan for nearly an hour, exchanged all the dollars in their wallets for souvenirs, clothes and food, and then took the subway back to the hotel where they stayed. followed by Xia Lu's inquiry of Ye Kexin, of course, because of the signing of the confidentiality agreement, Xia Lu's actions were reasonable, and Ye Kexin, who acted privately without notifying anyone, had no reason to defend herself, and could only respond to Xia Lu's questions one by one with an aggrieved face.

"Did you know that the other party was a 'shadow' before you left?" Xia Lu asked.

"I don't know, but he already mentioned Mariana, so I had to go." Ye Kexin replied with some grievances.

"Then you really didn't bring a weapon to defend yourself?" Xia Lu asked.

"He said he wouldn't let him bring ......," Ye Kexin replied with some twist.

"He said he wouldn't let you bring it, he really didn't bring it!" Xia Lu patted her head, and then lay back on the bed, "Sister, no matter how you think about this text message, you can figure out that the other party has bad intentions for you in the past, and the incident at the Bermuda Research Institute was handled by you personally, the other party can mention Mariana at this time, and you can also figure out if the other party is very likely to be a 'shadow'." ”

"But how do they know my phone number?" Ye Kexin said with some doubts, tilted his head and thought about it without coming up with a result.

"This is a bit suspicious, but with the amount of information we have now, it can't be investigated at all, and it is too conspicuous to hand over this matter to the commissioner of the New York headquarters, and the investigation must be carried out in secret." Xia Lu looked at the warm yellow lamp that was a little dim from the frosted glass lampshade on the ceiling, and said what was in her heart, "There must be a conspiracy after this, but listen to what you said before, someone invaded the Bermuda Research Institute and robbed the research data on the Pilgrim Instrument, it seems that the person who robbed the Pilgrim Instrument Research Data is from the 'Shadows', and the Mariana plan should be more careful when it is implemented." ”

"Definitely be careful." Ye Kexin nodded, "But there are still many doubts in this matter, such as why the sniper in the distance didn't fire the seventh shot and let you successfully stop the assassin, what did you say about the group of young people chasing you back and forth in the alley, and how did the academy know that the assassin would appear at the Central Park café at half past ten." ”

"I can't figure it out, but there will always be a suitable solution, otherwise it wouldn't have happened." Xia Lu sat up and touched the little curly-eared cat next to her who was rolling on the bed with a ball of yarn, "Let's make an assumption, there is a person, let's call him Mr. X for the time being, this Mr. X knows that the assassin will appear at the Central Park Cafe at half past ten, and this Mr. X is in the same group as us, after he told us the news, the board of directors immediately issued a kill order, and I happened to accompany my sister to Manhattan to become the best candidate, But Mr. X doesn't know that the assassin will bring a god-like sniper as a bodyguard to protect his safety when he goes out, so the board's plan fails. ”

"And what will be the identity of this Mr. X?" Ye Kexin thought for a while, "It may be that we are a spy who has entered the 'Shadow', but this possibility is very small, you said that the Assassin is a high-ranking member of the 'Shadow', so it is possible that he will not receive an indirect order, but directly listen to the orders of the 'Shadow' leader to carry out the task." ”

"This assassin may be an 'infiltrator', I remember the 'shadow' I met at your house two years ago said that the 'infiltrator' is the top force in the 'Shadow' group, and each of them is extraordinary." Xia Lu pointed out the identity of the assassin, but Ye Kexin didn't understand what Xia Lu said.

"What do you mean by 'Infiltrator' and 'Shadow'?" Ye Kexin asked with some confusion.

"Huh?" Xia Lu was a little surprised, "Didn't Zifeng tell you?" ”

"No, no." Ye Kexin shook her head again and again, "Xiao Fengfeng never talks to me about work, and we don't have much time to meet." ”

"That's right." Xia Lu thought thoughtfully, "'Shadow' is an ordinary member of 'Shadow', and the infiltrator is a high-ranking member of 'Shadow', I don't know the specifics, but I can be sure that there must be a difference in quantity and quality between the two. ”

"Oh, according to you, it's really dangerous this time." Ye Kexin patted his chest in a rebellious manner, with a palpitating expression on his face. Xia Lu's face was black.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, since the possibility of Mr. X being our spy is very small, let's just leave this hypothesis out of it, and then think about whether there are other possibilities." Xia Lu shook her head, shook off the black lines on her face, and continued, the expression on her face became serious.

"I can't think of anything else." Ye Kexin shook her head gently.

"Then sister listen to me." Xia Lu stretched out a finger, "Could this Mr. X be the bodyguard of the assassin?" ”

"Assassin's bodyguard?" Ye Kexin was taken aback, "Why do you say that?" He's shooting your bullets. ”

"He was right to shoot, but that also explains why Mr. Bodyguard didn't shoot the seventh shot." Xia Lu talked eloquently as if she was a detective, "Mr. Bodyguard, in order not to show his intention to betray the assassin, did not snipe the seventh bullet I fired, but it did not hurt me, it can hit the supersonic flying bullet, and it is definitely not difficult to hit me, but he didn't do it, and he didn't even snipe the seventh must-hit bullet I fired, which is the best proof." ”

"But isn't it a bit contradictory why Mr. Bodyguard would want to sell his protection target?" Ye Kexin raised the question in her heart.

"Well, I don't know why." Xia Lu shook her head, "But it is certain that this matter is inextricably related to Mr. Bodyguard, but I don't know his motive for doing this." ”

"Is it possible that Mr. Bodyguard is not Mr. X." Ye Kexin put forward a hypothesis, "Mr. Bodyguard is nothing more than a pawn of this Mr. X, Mr. Bodyguard received instructions from Mr. X and betrayed the assassin to get something from the real Mr. X." ”

"Quite possibly." Xia Lu couldn't help but nodded, "But in this case, the problem is back to square one, obviously this Mr. X must know a lot of things, and he must have an inseparable relationship with the Admiralty." ”

"It must be so." Ye Kexin nodded, "But, who is this Mr. X?" ”

"I don't know." Xia Lu shook her head.

The two of them smiled wryly in unison.

"Forget it, even if I think about it all night here, I won't get along with the conclusion, let's put it for now, after I return to the academy the day after tomorrow, I will want Grahide to submit a report, and then let Grahide help ask the commissioner of the academy Security Council to help investigate it."

Even if the two continue to discuss, there will be no result, after all, the key to the whole matter is all about Mr. X assumed by Xia Lu, if this person does not exist, all the previous reasoning will be invalidated, but even if this person exists, before they know the true identity of Mr. X, the two of them do not dare to draw conclusions about what this matter is. However, in such a time, it is not easy for the two of them to analyze this matter so thoroughly.

"It's okay or fine." Ye Kexin got up and began to undress, after a busy day, the clothes on her body would inevitably be a little dirty, and until now, the two of them have not taken a bath, after all, they are girls, and they will always feel a little uncomfortable if they don't take a bath.

So, there was no word all night......
