Chapter 22: Finding a Needle in a Haystack
Cliff beach.
Today's weather is good, the sun is shining, and the sea breeze is gently blowing, rolling up the waves and crashing on the beach.
Such a beautiful view, the two men standing on the shore at this moment, but no one has the heart to appreciate it.
"Listen, friend."
The gray-haired old man couldn't hold his breath for a moment, and said to the young man in front of him, "I don't know why you found me, and I don't know why you brought me here, but I will say that I am just an ordinary priest, and I don't have what you want. ”
"Peck Waski."
The young man, that is, Rosen, directly called out the old man's name and said, "I don't want to sell it to you, so let me tell you directly, I come from the same textile factory as Fox who found you before." ”
"Still won't let me go?"
Peek sighed, as the supplier of the cross's bullets, he was not surprised that his hideout would be discovered, after all, it was a clue that the cross deliberately exposed, just to have a chance to talk to Wesley alone.
So when Fox came to the door, Peike didn't resist too much, and obediently cooperated with the other party, creating an opportunity for him to meet with the cross.
Peike thought that this was the end of the matter, but the arrival of the second killer of the textile factory shattered his delusions.
"So what do you want me to do?"
Shaking his neck uncomfortably, Peike didn't panic too much, he knew that if the killer in front of him really wanted to kill him, he would probably have done it a long time ago, and now that he is still alive, then the other party must be useful to him.
"It's not what I want you to do."
Lawson looked up at the bridge above the sea, and said without looking back: "It's what the cross tells you to do." ”
"He told me that if he died, let me take care of his son Wesley and tell him the truth of everything."
Peek is now ready to answer questions, he has lived so long that he knows when to say something, not to mention, the cross probably can't come back this time, and there is no need for him to keep it a secret for a dead man.
"Very well, you will do what the cross said."
Continuing to stare closely at the bridge across the sea, Rosen responded in a flat tone, but his tone made Peike a little confused.
"You mean to let me continue to take care of Wesley? Are you going to let that hapless boy go? ”
Peek was puzzled, he was once a member of the textile factory, so he knew Sloan very well, he was an extremely ruthless man, who only had his own interests in mind, and anyone who got in the way of Sloan would end up dead.
Therefore, he did not believe at all that Sloan would be so kind as to spare the son of the traitor Cross.
"Or do you two have to ...... too"
Suddenly, Peck thought of something, something that the cross had told him, in the cross's plan, there were two people who could cooperate and help him overthrow the textile mill, and among these two people, there seemed to be the name of the man in front of him.
"What's the other thing called?"
As he grew older, his memory faded, and Peike thought and thought about it, and then remembered that it was Fawkes he had seen in the abbey before.
"Look at the meaning of these two people, the purpose of the cross is the same, but why do you have to make a life and death?"
Peike couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and the bomb collar around his neck was always a reminder that if he wanted to live, he had better be obedient.
Neither of them spoke again, and remained silent, except for the tireless sea breeze, which continued to blow, bringing with it a strange salty smell.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang above the sea, Peike was startled, he hurriedly looked up, only to see a train coming out of the tunnel, just along the railway to the middle of the bridge, some terrible change occurred, several carriages suddenly derailed and broken, fell straight down, and slapped heavily on the cliff.
Almost instantly, most of the passengers in several carriages were killed or injured, and most of those who survived fell into a coma.
Of course, they were lucky enough not to suffer too much before suddenly falling unconscious.
Even more unfortunate than them were some passengers whose seats were close to the windows, the broken glass windows lost their protective barrier effect, and the helpless passengers cried and screamed, praying to all the gods they could think of, but they still failed to do anything, and finally could only fall like dumplings, from a height of dozens of meters, into the surging sea.
"Oh my God!"
Peike's eyes were straight, and he muttered to himself, although he was a killer and had shot many people with his own hands, the tragic scene in front of him still made him gasp and freeze in place, only to feel a chill all over his body.
Peike subconsciously looked at Rosen in front of him, wanting to ask what was going on on the train, although he also knew that it was unlikely, but since the other party was waiting here early, he might know something.
And just as Peike guessed, Lawson, who understands the plot, does know the cause of the accident, the shootout between Cross and Wesley made the conductor on the train panic, and in order to stop the two rioters, the conductor subconsciously turned on the emergency brake, which caused the tragedy in front of him.
However, Lawson didn't have time to explain to Peike, so he turned on the system, took the prisoner tracking glasses from the inventory, and put them on the bridge of his nose.
Then, he pressed the button next to it, and a small antenna popped up, and the left lens turned into a miniature LCD screen, showing the current location of the tracked target.
Thump!
After a brief warm-up, Lawson jumped into the ocean and began to look for Wesley.
It is said that looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is indeed extremely difficult, and even almost impossible to find a person who has fallen into the water in the rough sea.
But fortunately, Rosen has the props provided by the system, the prisoner tracking glasses from the world of the cartoon "Detective Conan", which can track the signal within a radius of 20 kilometers from the target location, and with the sticker transmitter that Fox put on Wesley in advance, Rosen quickly found Wesley who was unconscious.
Grabbing Wesley's neck with his arm, Lawson slowly surfaced and swam toward the shore.
At the same time, Peike on the shore was very anxious, after all, the collar bomb around his neck was connected to Rosen's heartbeat, and if Rosen died, he would not survive.
After waiting for a while, he finally saw Rosen's figure approaching, and Peike breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to help pull Wesley to shore.
