There were no more spectators outside the venue, and now I was thinking a little quieter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info had no clue at all, only knowing that Professor Guderian had been kidnapped without knowing that he was of no value there.

"We're going to split up, and we shouldn't be leaving this floor until the show is over." Ye Zifeng instructed.

"Why?" Xia Lu said questioningly.

"There is only one amphitheater on the eighteenth floor, and there are five preparation rooms around it that are directly connected to the backstage of the theater, so the only thing that can move the audience is the hall where we are now and the passages on both sides. Once the show begins, the door to the inner hall is locked, and there are three escape routes from the eighteenth floor, but all three lead to the outside. If I were a kidnapper, I would wait until ten minutes before the show ended, when the elevator restarted, and board the elevator and descend directly to the second basement parking lot. ”

"Makes sense." Xia Lu nodded, "Without further ado, I'll go this way." ”

Xia Lu pulled out the pistol under her skirt and ran towards the passage on the left.

"Then I'll go this way." Keiichi Yamamoto also pulled out his pistol and ran towards the passage on the right. The rest of the hall was handed over to Ye Zifeng to search.

The layout of the hall is somewhat unusual, a soundproof wall divides the hall into two parts, and the outside hall has a small bar, café and a boutique, but that is not the scope of Ye Zifeng's search, the door to the outer hall is locked.

Walking into an escape passage on the side, the probe looked down through the gap in the middle of the stairs, the eighteen-story building is about sixty meters high, and when you look down from above, you will feel slightly dizzy. The empty escape staircase was empty, and Ye Zifeng was advancing in the stairwell, the rubber soles of his leather shoes colliding with the stone floor making a clattering sound.

Ye Zifeng didn't take it much in the stairwell, and turned around and returned to the hall.

"Zifeng, there's something wrong here!" Xia Lu's hurried call came from the earphones.

"What's going on?" Ye Zifeng immediately asked, and at the same time immediately ran towards the passage on the left.

"I found Professor Guderian......" Charlotte paused, "the corpse of you." ”

Keiichi Yamamoto came to the third preparation room in advance, Xia Lu leaned against the wall at the door, and couldn't bear to cast his eyes into the preparation room, and when he saw Ye Zifeng coming, he immediately stood up straight.

"How's it going?" Ye Zifeng immediately asked as soon as he saw Xia Lu.

"It's not going to be good." Xia Lu shook her head, "The bullet turned the professor's brain into a pulp, and he was killed with one shot. ”

Ye Zifeng didn't answer, frowned, and walked towards the preparation room, but when he passed by the wooden door of the preparation, Ye Zifeng stopped. A bullet hole pierced the door plate on the wooden door of the preparation room.

".408 caliber cartridges, this is a special cartridge for the M200." Ye Zifeng muttered to himself, and then suddenly remembered something, "So that's the case!" ”

"What do you think?" Xia Lu walked to Ye Zifeng's side, looked at the gun hole on the door number, and asked with some confusion.

"I know what 'ssss' means." Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, "Although it's a little late, it will be helpful to come up with it for future detection." ”

"What is 'ssss'?" Xia Lu followed Ye Zifeng into the preparation room.

"Do you remember the magician's prophecy of crime?" Ye Zifeng walked to Keiichi Yamamoto's side, "There are five 's' in the third sentence, the first 's' is translated by us as the magic technique, and the remaining four 's's' should be 'death shooting'. ”

"Death shoots." Xia Lu repeated Ye Zifeng's words, "The Grim Reaper refers to the M200. ”

"It seems so." Ye Zifeng nodded and pointed to the gun hole in the glass, "The bullet flew from 2,000 meters away, so it didn't leave too many bullet marks on the wall of the corridor, but the kinetic energy of the bullet was enough to kill Professor Guderian." ”

"Is there anything suspicious?" Ye Zifeng bent down and came to Keiichi Yamamoto's side.

"This." Keiichi Yamamoto handed a note to Ye Zifeng, "I found it from Professor Guderian's hand, so let's take a look at it for yourself." ”

Ye Zifeng unfolded the note, and a line of small characters was written on it in standard italics.

June 9, 2017 14:38:56. Farewell, Professor Guderian, enemy of the Admiralty.

Ye Zifeng looked at the watch on his wrist, the hour hand was close to three, and the minute hand was between ten and eleven.

"It's 2:53 p.m., and let's assume that the time on the note is the time of Professor Guderian's death, which means that Professor Guderian was shot and killed fifteen minutes before we arrived here." Ye Zifeng speculated that the second hand of the watch jumped to twelve at this time, and the minute hand jumped one block together.

"Do you want to report to the Ministry of Defense and stop the magic show?" Kei Yamamoto suggested together.

"No, the magician has a connection to this killing, and once the magic show is terminated, the magician will most likely escape." Ye Zifeng raised his hand and vetoed Keiichi Yamamoto's opinion, "We'll take action when the show is over, anyway, the people from the Defense Department are looking for clues all over the building." ”

"There's something wrong with this note, though." Xia Lu looked at the note and said suspiciously.

"Where?" Keiichi Yamamoto leaned over.

"This is it." Xia Lu pointed to the note, "Shouldn't Professor Guderian be a member of the 'outside' of the Admiralty?" Why is it called an enemy? ”

“！” Ye Zifeng was suddenly startled, "Keep the note, and you must not let the people in the Defense Department see it." ”

"It doesn't seem to be as simple as we thought." Xia Lu sighed, smiled helplessly, folded the note and stuffed it into the holster.

"What now, let's go back to the venue and watch the rest of the show?" Xia Lu walked to Ye Zifeng's side.

"Then let's go back first, we don't have a place to go now anyway." Ye Zifeng nodded, "But let's go through this door." ”

Ye Zifeng pointed to the passage leading to the backstage below the audience: "Lock the door of this preparation room, let's go backstage and wait for the performance to end." ”

"I think we should have a good talk with the magician."

The magic show ended with a round of applause, and the audience, shrouded in infrasound waves and invisible light, did not hesitate to applaud themselves, offering them all to the illusion in front of them. With a satisfied smile on his face, the magician bowed to the surrounding audience.

Ye Zifeng leaned out of the backstage and beckoned to the magician.

The room darkened, and the magician walked briskly to the backstage of the third preparation room before the lights came back on. When the magician entered the preparation room, Ye Zifeng closed the door.

"Is that you?" Xia Lu recognized the magician at a glance, her attention had been focused on Professor Guderian's body before, and she didn't pay too much attention to the magician, but when she saw the magician's face, Xia Lu couldn't help but exclaim.

"You know?" Ye Zifeng walked over at this time, "Tell me, who are you?" ”

"The chief magician of the Apocalypse Circus." The magician immediately replied, "But this identity is fake. ”

"I'm asking, of course, who you really are, and what do you mean by writing the Admiralty's enemies on the note?" Ye Zifeng took the note handed over by Xia Lu and showed it to the magician.

"Let's answer you one by one. My name is Archer, you haven't seen me, but I've seen you, otherwise you think who helped you escape from the 'Longinus' base last time. Archer revealed his true identity, and Ye Zifeng was startled.

"You're the one who put the cold gun?"

"What is a cold gun, that is called a sniper." Archer protested dissatisfiedly, "I'm your savior, you can't say anything about this attitude, at least I have to say thank you." ”

"Whatever you want." Ye Zifeng waved his hand, "What do you mean by the enemy of the Admiralty written on the note?" ”

Ye Zifeng repeated the previous question, while Archer sighed.

"I thought you were polite...... Forget it, this is obvious, Guderian is no longer within the scope of the Admiralty, and it should not be difficult to understand calling him a traitor in the somewhat obscure words of the enemy. Archer changed the word, and Ye Zifeng nodded.

"You mean to say that Professor Guderian betrayed the Admiralty?" Xia Lu sat down on the side.

"Otherwise, how do you think the photon detection in the 'Retribution' network is accomplished, unless the speed of light is sensed for the detection of the target's state change, otherwise, the 'Reathed' will not be able to dodge a deadly attack." Archer's expression was a little serious.

"That's right." Ye Zifeng nodded, then lowered his head slightly and pinched his chin, "But how did you kill him?" Do you have accomplices? ”

"Pay attention to the wording, it's called companion. Why do all the words taste bad in your mouth? Archer shook his head, "A girl's sniping, she should be on the 'outside' liaison by now." ”

"How did you know that Professor Guderian had betrayed? And was Sahil before him also a traitor? Keiichi Yamamoto walked over and asked.

"Your interrogations look a bit like interrogations, and you're all with guns in your hands." Archer looked around at the three people around him, "We have been informed that the 'outside' of Germany and Arabia has been completely destroyed, and the main reason is that Operizzi, who was suddenly ranked higher on the list of the Ministry of Defense. Professor Guderian and Sahil. Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed. ”

"Well, you mean that the killing of these two 'outside' members was to clear the portal, right?" Ye Zifeng said.

"That's right." Archer nodded.

"How did you kill Sahir?" Xia Lu suddenly remembered the mysterious cause of Sahir's death and asked.

"Trypsin broke down the hemoglobin, and the place to kill Sahir was in the audience, not on the stage." Archer thought for a moment, then a look of disgust appeared on his face, "Such scum should be killed." ”

"We understand the general situation, and I'm also thinking about how a cleaner can quietly dispose of the bloodstains, it should be your casual clothes." Ye Zifeng nodded, "Anyway, you saved my life last time, I should thank you." If there is anything we can do to help this time, please be sure to ask, and I will repay the last life-saving grace. ”

"I don't dare to repay the favor." Archer smiled and waved his hand, but then the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Ye Zifeng with burning eyes. This kind of extension made Ye Zifeng's heart flutter, but Ye Zifeng didn't speak, waiting for Archer to ask.

"This incident was caused by me, and I came here to clean up the pieces." Archer didn't have anything to ask, and sighed, the expression on his face looking a little lost.

"Pick up the pieces?" Xia Lu asked curiously.

"Do you know what happened two days later?" Archer became vigilant, imagining Xia Lu asking questions.

"Plans for two days?" Xia Lu thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know, what about you?" ”

Natsuro threw the question to Keiichi Yamamoto.

"I don't know, my rank is nothing more than the head of regional operations." Keiichi Yamamoto shook his head. At this time, the eyes of the other three people in the room invariably fell on Ye Zifeng's body. Ye Zifeng sighed.

"The two of them don't know, can I tell?" Ye Zifeng asked Archer.

"Tell me, you've all found out about me, so you have nothing to do with it." Archer nodded, motioning for Ye Zifeng to explain the matter.

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Ye Zifeng thought for a while, "About half a month ago, I went on a mission somewhere in the outskirts of the Shanghai area, and at that time, Archer covered my successful retreat. Although he was able to withdraw from the Longinus base, he was still hospitalized due to injuries. Just as I was about to be discharged from the hospital, Saber came to me, under the pseudonym Jiang Banxia. He told me that in ten days the Admiralty would be conducting an operation called 'Classified Documents.' I don't know the details, but Saber seemed to trust me at the time, and after saying this to me, he forced me to join the 'outside' of the Admiralty. ”

"That's all?" Archer asked, confused, "Saber didn't tell you the details of the operation?" ”

"No, not at all, but Saber just told me when I was going to do it and I couldn't refuse an 'outside' request to join. From this it can be seen that this operation is of great importance to the Admiralty. Ye Zifeng nodded.

"It seems that Saber is cautious enough, but that's enough, and I'll leave the rest of the commentary task to me." Archer cleared his throat, took off the top hat on his head and set it aside, brushed his shiny hair, and continued, "It started half a month ago, that is, on May 23rd, and as Ye Zifeng said, I was Saber's partner at the time and was responsible for intelligence gathering outside the 'Longinus' base. ”

"How do you know my name?" Ye Zifeng looked at Archer suspiciously.

"Of course Saber told me, don't interrupt." Archer said impatiently, "I was being observed when someone sneaked up on me and I fell off a cliff. ”

Archer began to reminisce.

"Hell, what the hell is that!" A trail of blood flowed from Archer's left eye, and his forehead slammed against the rock wall, staining the right half of his face red. However, I don't know if it was Archer's luck, or his superior strength, or both, but when Archer was about to fall to the ground, he grabbed a branch sticking out of the rock wall with his wildly waving hands, which made Archer not die.

As the saying goes, if you don't die in a disaster, you will be blessed, but the branches seem to have exhausted the character value of Archer, and when he was about to climb the rock wall back to the cliff, two "Halo" fighters with purple searchlights flew from a distance to this side, and the direction of the flight was very directional, it seemed that Archer had been discovered.

"Bad luck." Archer cursed under his breath, rolled over, leaned his back against the rock wall, faced the "Halo" fighter, and then grabbed the branch with his right hand, Archer tried his best to maintain his balance, and slid towards the bottom of the mountain. Archer is still about fifteen meters away from the foot of the mountain, but the almost vertical rock walls cause a lot of trouble for the archer. Although he landed smoothly, Archer's legs did ach faintly. Tumbling around on the ground, Archer quickly ducked under a tree. The Halo slid over Archer's head at this point, seemingly noticing anything. The fighter circled twice and then left in the direction it came. Archer, who had been waiting under the tree for five or six minutes, breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the shade. It was terribly dark, but Archer's eagle-like eyes could still see his surroundings clearly. Running briskly to the side of the rock face, Archer climbed towards a cliff about fifty meters high.

A procession of pilgrims passed below the cliff, and Archer slowed down, but with a stab of his left foot, a loose stone tumbled and fell. Archer broke out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, the pilgrim's attendants and battle monks didn't notice what was happening above him, and Archer climbed back up the cliff without any danger.

However, Archer's heart was half chilled after confirming the situation of the cliff.

"Oh my God." Archer's eyes widened, and his steps were a little vain. The backpack is gone.

"That's probably what it is, that backpack is what we call 'classified documents.'" Archer finished the story, "We're going to get it back, we've confirmed the location of the backpack so far, all that's left is to get it back." ”

"What's in the 'Confidential Documents'?" Keiichi Yamamoto asked.

"The details of the 'cemetery' and a small amount of information and history about the mutant infected are very important to us." Archer spoke up without hesitation.

"'Graveyard'? What is it? Xia Lu frowned.

"It should be the town of 'Sword of Sorrow'." Ye Zifeng speculated.

"Well, that's it, but there's more than one such town." "The backpack is done analyzing the data. The Mutant Infected are the failed work of the Pilgrims, and the 'Graveyard' is where the Waving Hands manage these Mutant Infected. ”

"Basically got it, what does this have to do with you getting rid of traitors?" Ye Zifeng asked.

"The Admiralty is calling on the 'outside' of the world, and the 'outside' includes these traitors, and I must go and eradicate them in order for the plan to run smoothly." Archer said indignantly.

"No problem, let's talk about the details of the operation." Ye Zifeng nodded, pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

"It's two days later, so I'm sure you all already know. The goal of the operation is to recapture the backpack, the specific content of the operation has not been disclosed, and it will be arranged after the operation commissioners gather, but it should be roughly a feint from the front, and then send a team to seize the backpack. Archer said quietly.

"Where is the location of the operation?" Ye Zifeng asked.

"Not far from the airport where you collapsed last time." Archer reminded, "In Saber's words, it's a giant beast that slumbers in the desolate land and exudes a sad aura. ”

"Don't say it so abstractly, be specific."

"We call it ......"

Archer paused, and then stared at Ye Zifeng and said word by word.

"The super-aircraft carrier 'Stalingrad'."
