Gu Tie lowered the muzzle of his gun, his eyes staring sharply at the three bullet holes cracked in the glass window. Didn't hit. His instinct told him that no matter whether he was snooping on the outside or friend or foe, he was a difficult guy to deal with.

Natalia heard the gunshot, shouted Gu Tie's name and pushed open the bathroom door, "Tie, are you okay!"

Gu Tie shook his head: "Maybe it's just an illusion." Let's go out. He slipped the pistol into his trouser pocket and motioned to the hostess not to be so nervous. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and "knock knock" was made in a group of three times, and there were three groups of knocks.

"Who?" said Natalia, slowly walking through the living room, her gun pointed at the door.

"Shiva's friend, Madame. A man's voice replied politely, speaking in English.

Gu Tie raised his fingers and made a "wait a minute" gesture.

He turned around and ran back to the bedroom in two steps, grabbed the heavy Russian-made phased array satellite dish, quickly connected the satellite link, half-closed his eyes, and landed on the "Genesis" terminal.

It took a few seconds and 3ppm to find an idle "fast bird" low-earth orbit civilian satellite, transmit the coordinates of the location, and immediately, thousands of satellite photos flowed through his sea of knowledge like snowflakes, Gu Tie used a few seconds to write a simple program to identify the suspicious objects in the photos, and soon, the results were presented in the black sky of the "Pure Land": with this mountain farm forty-five kilometers away from Mozili City as the center, within a radius of ten kilometers, there were no flying objects. Armored vehicles and small teams of more than two people existed, and from the infrared photographs, it can be seen that the organism in the farm has only one lone visitor, except for the hostess, Gu Tie, a dog, and dozens of sheep.

"Open the door, Natasha. Be careful. Gu Tie opened his eyes and said. It took him a total of fifty-five seconds to accomplish all this.

Natalia hid her pistol behind her and pulled open a crack in the door, "Please identify yourself." ”

The visitor smiled: "There are only two kinds of people who can find here, Madame, friend and foe. The enemy will not ask you to open the door, they will knock on it with bullets, just like the one just did. ”

The hostess looked back at Gu Tie, and after getting an affirmative look, she opened the door.

At the doorway stood a medium-sized Asian man in a beige trench coat, short hair, thirty or forty years old, with deep crow's feet around his eyes. "Hello, ma'am, please take care of us for the first time. Hello, Mr. Gu Tie. I'm Hasegawa Honsaka. "The person who came bowed a half-bow peculiar to Japanese people.

"Hello,...... Hasegawa?" Gu Tie nodded in greeting, unconsciously grabbing an apple on the table and tossing it around, "I seem to have heard of your name, when did it come ......?"

"Two years ago, in Beijing, Mr. Barvindra was the introducer, and you helped me obtain a number of very important purification equipment, and our underground facilities in Algeria would not have been successfully completed without your assistance, Mr. Gu Tie. Hasegawa Honsaka replied with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a line, looking like a gentle and harmless grocery store salesperson.

Gu Tie slapped his head: "I said it! You are a 'madman' Hasegawa! I didn't see you in person last time, I didn't expect you to look like this, it's too deceptive!"

Hasegawa Honsaka laughed and walked over to shake hands with Gu Tie warmly.

Natalia looked at the familiar appearance of the two men, and her face was uncertain: "Breakfast is going to be cold." ”

Gu Tie put his arm around the Japanese shoulders affectionately: "Natasha, this guy is a real legend! Don't look at him as a Japanese, there is no other meaning." ”

"I'm always proud of my one-quarter Chinese ancestry. Hasegawa Honsaka smiled unconcernedly.

"One of the most radical radical organizations in the IPU is called '100 million jade breaks', and you know by name that it was formed by the Japanese, this guy is the leader of 100 million jade pieces, 'madman' Hasegawa. Natasha, if you want to hear about this guy's crazy experience, I can't finish talking about it in one night, a few years ago, GTC turned the Middle East and Africa upside down in order to find him. Gu Tie pulled out the dining chair, asked Hasegawa to sit down, sat opposite him, and poured a glass of hot milk for the other party and himself.

"Cheers. It's like old man at first sight. Gu Tie picked up the glass.

"Cheers. I feel honored to meet you, you are like a ghost, the whole IPU is rumored to have such a powerful character as you, but almost no one has seen you, and no one even knows your name. ...... Forgive me for taking the plunge, is Gu Tie your real name?" Hasegawa said, raising his glass.

Gu Tie took a sip of milk and scratched his head: "Actually, I haven't deliberately done any confidential work." It's mysterious, as for me, I've been at home all day, and if it weren't for Lao Ba calling me, I wouldn't have been out of the house for a long time. ”

Hasegawa smiled: "Of course, Mr. Iron." He put the glass down, and there was no sign of wetness on his lips.

"Don't like milk?" Gu Tie saw this small detail.

"Lactose intolerant. You know, Asians ......" the madman Hasegawa smiled shyly.

The hostess sat on the side of the table and tapped the plate with her fork: "Finish the scrambled eggs before they get cold, I went to a women's university, and my nutrition teacher Yulia Kayankovskava said that eating cold food for breakfast will ruin your stomach." ”

"Okay, let's eat. Gu Tie hurriedly grabbed the toasted bread slices and smeared them with a thick layer of butter, "Natasha, isn't that baby called Kayan Widowerka your ethics teacher?"

The hostess glared at him.

Gu Tie buried his head in eating.

Hasegawa leaned back on the dining chair with a smile and took out a cigarette case: "I ate it before I went out." Can I smoke, ma'am?"

Natalia looked at him, then at Gu Tie, and nodded.

The Japanese lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said with a comfortable expression: "Whatever the era, things that are harmful to the body are always the most fascinating." ”

Gu Tie raised his fork: "I can cite as an example the countless elegant people who were addicted to the art of yellow and white in the Jin Dynasty of China, but after thinking about it, your country's ** industry seems to be more in line with your description." ”

Hasegawa smiled bitterly: "Very sharp testimony, Mr. Tie." ”

"I am one of the victims. Gu Tie laughed and put down his fork, "Wait, how did you know that I was here? Lao Ba told you? Did Lao Ba return to Russia?"

Hasegawa Honsaka pulled out a delicate silver ashbox, opened it, and carefully knocked the cigarette ash inside, "I was dealing with some things in Minsk, and the IPU's theme convener in Minsk - a role like a coordinator - contacted all the IPU members who were in Minsk at the time to deliver a very important message. I met Mr. Barvindra there. After the meeting, he told me that he had already asked the team to cross the border and return to Russia, and that he still had a little finishing work to do. I guessed at the time that the Chernobyl farce was a good thing done by Shiva. ”

"I guess. Gu Tie swallowed the food in his mouth, "Because everyone asked if you did it, only Lao Ba didn't ask, right?"

Hasegawa smiled: "I know that Mr. Iron can guess." I admired Shiva's courage, but I didn't quite understand what the purpose was. Is it related to the explosion of the East Asian core route in Malaysia? The cooperation between the IPU organizations is very rare, and if Shiva is trying to buy time for the other team, the relationship between the two sides is extraordinary. ”

Gu Tie didn't say anything, "Sort of." What did Lao Ba say?"

"Mr. Barvindra said that he would leave Belarus soon, and that you are now in a safe house near Mozyr and may need help. In this way, I took the night train from Minsk to Mozir and arrived here early this morning. But it doesn't look like you need much help. Hasegawa Honsaka pointed his chin at the hostess secretly, squeezing his eyes at Gu Tie.

"It's okay...... What about the 100 million jade shattered team members?" Gu Tie asked.

"There are four people in Minsk, the others in their hometowns. The Belarusian government has declared the whole country on alert level 3 because of a fire in Pripyat Park, with fewer people and less trouble. Hasegawa took a puff of his cigarette, slowly puffed out the smoke, and replied.

"How many years have you been smoking?" Gu Tie sniffed and asked.

Hasegawa was stunned, "It's been more than ten years." I can't quit all the time, nicotine patches are a big lie. ”

"You don't smoke too much, good habits, less harm. Gu Tie picked up the glass.

"Some people want me to die sooner, some people want me to live longer. Hasegawa smiled.

Natalia stood up, removed the remaining food and utensils, made a pot of fragrant black tea, and poured a cup for each of the two men.
