Gu Tie is no stranger to bars, in the days of youth and rebellion, he used to linger in the bright lights of the capital, and live drunk on beer and Scotch whisky all day long.

Nothing strange happened. After the record player finishes playing an old Tom Punch song, Johnny Cash's "Hurt" begins, the men playing pool smoke spicy cigarettes and talk and laugh loudly on the pool cues, the sleepers on their stomachs move their bodies from time to time and hum twice, Eva drinks all the wine and asks the bartender for another one, and the half-faced guy named Keith pours her a full bowl of dark rum and sets out a plate of peanuts. With its dilapidated tables and chairs, dim lighting, and yellowed posters, the bar in front of me seemed so normal, so normal that it looked like it was copied from an old American movie from the sixties and seventies.

Gu Tie swallowed the whiskey in his mouth, feeling a little ridiculous. A small woman named Eva had brought him to this place in the name of helping her escape from danger, and after saying something inexplicable, she stopped talking, and the people in the bar, who were obviously her companions, tacitly went about their own things, leaving the new guests out in the cold. The Chinese almost believed that there really was an American-style bar open to the public in the basement of a dilapidated building on an off-the-beaten-path street in Poland's Old Town, and perhaps after a few drinks, he would really believe it.

...... Wait, is this a test?

Gu Tie raised his wine glass, blocking his view from looking around. Keith was chatting with Eva about something, the man playing billiards was indeed playing billiards, but the sleeping man was not sleeping, judging from the body language of his muscles twitching unconsciously, this person's nervous system was in a high state of excitement, and no one could maintain such an active mind in a dream, unless he was implanted by the client to strip away the real senses and enter the world of the "world".

First, it is a mysterious organization called the "Ghost Right Hand".

Second, Eva brought herself here not out of malice;

Thirdly, they declared themselves "the ones who have been waiting", while the great writers who died called themselves "the most important people." ”

Fourth, and most confusingly, they are aware of their code name in the small circle, "Adam", which is limited to seven companions, and there is little possibility of leakage. How did they get this information?

Gu Tie's brain was running rapidly, arranging one possibility after another. In his usual disposition, he must play the game with a few people in the bar, pretending not to know each other until one of them gives up, but today his mood is different, with the disappearance of Azivi first, the assassination of Zygmunt Danda behind, and the apocalyptic period that is gradually coming to the surface, he has no time to play with them, nor is he in the mood to play with them.

If it was the scheming Xiao Liping sitting on the high chair at the moment, I believe that Lao Xiao would calmly chat with the people in the bar one by one, find the loopholes in the other party's words, and collect the information that the other party inadvertently revealed. Gu Tie is not such a delicate guy, he has two plans in his heart, one is more violent, and the other is even more violent.

With a good mobile phone signal and a smooth quantum network, the owner of the Pure Land uses 50% of his senses to return to the small world of thunderclouds rolling, and immediately mobilizes his strength to spy on all the information in the mysterious bar. The industrial and commercial bureau, the health department, the supplier of alcoholic beverages, tax records, electricity bills, patrol reports, cameras, sound probes and traffic monitors, all the databases related to the bar were destroyed and destroyed, Gu Tie knew that this blatant large-scale attack would definitely attract the attention of Poland's cyber surveillance department, and even report it to the GTC headquarters, but he decided to take this risk.

The snowflakes of information almost drowned the Pure Land, everything was normal, and it was terrifyingly normal. Formal registration, formal channels to buy alcohol, pay utility bills on time, pay taxes on time, With a relatively fixed flow of passengers and a slightly bleak but credible ledger, no suspicious people in and out, the only time in the past three years was that Poland lost to Croatia in the group stage of the European Cup, several drunkards smashed dozens of glass windows of residential buildings in a fit of rage, and there were hundreds of such incidents throughout Warsaw that night, and when the patrol arrived, they found that there were no residents in the long-abandoned residential building, and no punishment was imposed on the drunk, and the matter was over.

"Hehe, a good concealment project in place......" Gu Tie sneered. He tried to point a directional pickup on the roof of the opposite building at the entrance of the corridor where the bar was located, and the directional pickup used for bird observation and research could accurately record the tiny noise within a range of 500 meters, and immediately, the sound of music and conversation in the bar appeared clearly in his ears. American country music, two men discuss a striptease show that will take place later, a little girl's voice tells the novelties of the day, and the bartender complains about the scarcity of guests and the meager salary.

The Chinese coughed lightly in reality, and sure enough, their own voice did not appear in the pickup. The sound of music and conversation is a camouflage used to counter detection. Gu Tie traced back to the image of the surveillance probe, because the identity protection program had been running, all the camera equipment recorded his own image was blurry, but since he got into the carriage, the blurred image simply disappeared, and only the little girl jumped out of the carriage parked in front of the bar, and the record about himself was erased. -- Whatever the organization of the "Ghost Right Hand" is, it is clear that it has considerable power on the quantum network.

"Okay. ”

Gu Tie broke through the space and withdrew from the Pure Land, raised his eyelids, and sighed. He decided to go with the second option.

"Everyone. He lifted his whiskey glass and flicked the wall with his fingernails, making a crisp tinkling sound. Several people in the bar were attracted by him, and they all turned their heads to look this way. "Guys, I want to perform a little magic trick. Gu Tie smiled and put down the wine glass, took out a small plastic box from his coat pocket, opened the lid of the box, and used two fingers to pull out a small silver-white metal stick the thickness of a pencil from it.

The men playing billiards looked at each other suspiciously. "And then?" said Eva, lying on the bar, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes that had brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Now, it's a metal rod. The Chinese showed it, then placed the stick flat on the wine glass, then took out a black box the size of a cigarette box from his coat pocket and held it up for everyone to see, "This is a black box." To help everyone understand this magic, I'm going to flip a switch. ”

He pressed twice on the black box, and the box made a high-frequency buzzing sound, and a red signal light began to flicker from slow to fast, and the beep sounded at the same time. Gu Tie placed the black box next to the wine glass, and carefully adjusted the position so that the top of the box was aligned with the tail of the metal rod. "The principle of the magic is this, this box is the 'Vestra-0' ultra-high-energy solid-state laser initiator produced by Northrop Grumman, and this metal rod is a small piece of solid metallic hydrogen. Now, then, is the time to witness the miracle!" He rubbed his hands together and looked around, "If no one explains to me in detail what kind of organization the 'Ghost Right Hand' is within thirty seconds, the laser detonator will be charged with energy and fire a pure laser with a mass factor of 1.014, detonating the metallic hydrogen explosive in a nanosecond, blasting me, the failed magician, all of you, and half of the Old City of Warsaw into the sky." Oh sorry, there's twenty seconds left. ”

"Boring. It's not magic at all. Eva pouted in disappointment, if it weren't for a large glass of rum in front of her, she would have looked at a twelve-year-old Lori who was sulking because her parents didn't buy her her beloved teddy bear.

The half-faced Guise looked at the metal hydrogen rod in distraction, "This is really a delicate weapon, sir." ”

The two men playing billiards raised their thumbs in appreciation, and then one lit a cigarette. People who sleep on their stomachs don't react at all.

The reaction of the people in the bar was completely unexpected by Gu Tie, he thought that even if the heart was big, these people should also make instinctive protective reactions, such as taking out a gun and pointing it at his head or kicking the detonator away, etc., but he didn't expect this group of people to be more calm than one another, and one to see death as if they were at home. He couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Don't you understand? This is explosives! It will kill people!"

"Of course, sir. The half-faced bartender replied politely: "For each 100g of polymer solid metal hydrogen, you still have about 9 in the box; the manufacturing process is very sophisticated, compared with the ordinary metal hydrogen explosive about 30 times the power of TNT explosives, the polymer metal hydrogen formed by breaking the lattice structure and compressing is a completely different level of explosives, which can reach 40,000 times the TNT equivalent, and detonate under normal conditions, which is about equal to the damaging effect of 40 tons of high explosives." -- Blowing up half of Warsaw's Old Town is not a big problem. ”

The red light on the black box flickered faster and faster, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down Gu Tie's head: "God, I thought it was an ordinary metal hydrogen explosive, and I wanted to scare you." He stared at the girl next to him, "Do you know you're going to die, but you still don't say anything?"

Eva pursed her lips and said: "If you want to know anything, just ask directly, we are obliged to answer any questions you have, what a stupid thing it is to commit suicide." ”

"You've deliberately isolated me since you came, I'm going to ask if you can say it?For example, what are the names and what are the two billiards guys over there called?" Gu Tie couldn't help but roar.

"George. The white-faced one said, "The Ghost's right hand driver, assaulter, and maintenance worker." ”

"Bote. The bearded one said, "The scavenger on the ghost's right hand." ”

The Chinese were stunned, "Can you really say, Eva, what's your real name?"

Lori replied without hesitation: "Giacinta Grett Ducho, born in 2022 in the Brunelleschi Orphanage in Florence......"

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Tie covered his head in collapse.

The "dripping ......" beep stops, and the red light on the laser detonator turns green.
