Port of Latakia.

The Mediterranean Sea at midnight is quiet and serene under the stars, and the gentle beat of the waves induces you to sleep. An iron-gray fishing boat flying the flag of Syria broke the tranquility of the port of Latakia, pulled out a long water mark and was speeding towards the port.

At first glance, this fishing boat is nothing special, and even the paint shows signs of the passage of time, but the powerful roar of the engine is a little different to the ears of those who know it.

Generally speaking, fishing boats must be fuel-efficient in order to be economical, and it is usually enough to run eleven or two knots, so they are equipped with low-horsepower engines.

And the low-horsepower diesel engine, when driving the boat at high speed, will emit a hoarse and unpleasant howl. But at the moment, the speed of this fishing boat is at least fifteen knots, but the sound of the engine is low and beautiful, and it seems to be at ease, and it has never pulled the speed to the limit, and there is still more powerful power hidden in the steel body that has not been released.

If you look closely, this fishing boat is a little different from ordinary fishing boats, the wave plate is much taller, the superstructure is also low and compact, and a horizontal windlass is installed that is relatively rare on fishing boats. Plus a variety of frequency bands of optical and electronic ...... densely arranged around the main mast Fish-finding equipment? Probably fish-finding equipment, maybe even a submarine can detect it.

All in all, the ship feels like it should have at least one single-barreled 30mm gun or something on the foredeck to suit its style.

In fact, the fishing boat, known as the Flash, hides two lighthouse-made Seahorse 16-tube 132mm rocket launchers under the foredeck, which can be raised from below deck at the touch of a button to provide accurate and heavy fire support for the boat.

Not only that, but under the surging water, there are two 650mm underwater torpedo tubes, which fire heavy torpedoes that even aircraft carriers can sink.

Such weapons and equipment, even if they encounter warships, they have to fight, to guard against pirates, it is appropriate to kill chickens with knives, and use them to catch fish, which is really outrageous.......

As it was about to enter the harbor, the "Flash" turned its bow and slowed sideways along the edge of the harbor, as if looking for a berth. However, when it passed an empty berth, it turned a blind eye and continued on until it reached the huge "Mediterranean Overture", when it slowly stopped.

Next to the tens of thousands of tons of "Mediterranean Overture", the more than 1,000-ton "Flash" looks extraordinarily petite. It's like a Porsche 718 parked next to a double-decker bus.

The redhead in a black OL suit walked out of the cab, the girl had a typical heroine face in old European and American movies, and her sexual feelings glowed, even if she was just walking through a fishing boat corridor, but she seemed to be walking on the catwalk. The red-soled heels slam on the hallway deck with a crisp sound, a rhythmic drum beat that plays a stylish tune.

If there is an audience, people's eyes will never be able to take half an inch off her body.

The redhead walked straight to the door of the captain's room next to the wheelhouse, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Lord Shaxx, here we are." ”

A trembling old man came from the room, "Come in, Heesch." ”

The redhead twisted the lock and entered the very post-modern captain's room, the whole room was white, only the bed was scarlet, and the furnishings were simple and scary, except for the bed, only a boxy white nylon sofa and a cubic pillar coffee table by the window.

At this moment, there is a black beauty with brocade-like skin standing next to the scarlet big boat, judging from her facial features, this black woman has little to do with traditional black women, the nose bridge is high, the forehead and cheekbones are not abrupt, closer to Europeans and Americans.

On the bed lay a man wearing a fish-faced mask, but the mask could not cover his snow-white and sparse hair, let alone his hands outside the quilt, his hands were dry and slender, his skin was covered with age spots, and they were all wrinkled, like moldy rags.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the old man wearing a fish-faced mask sat up on the bed, and the stunning-looking black beauty immediately bent down to help him put the pillow behind his back.

The fish-faced old man turned his head to look at Xi Shi and asked in a low voice, "Have you arrived?" Xi Shi ...... How long have I been asleep?" Before the redhead named Shish could reply, the old man said to himself, "Whenever I call your name, I think of the Sith...... What a lovely and handsome kid he used to be...... Look at what this terrible world has forced him to become....."

"Lord Shaxx, death is a release for Lord Sith. ”

"Release?" a dry laugh erupted from the fish-faced old man's mouth, "It's a good word, it's better than relief.....

Shishi, who was standing by the bed, smiled respectfully.

"Where did we just go?"

"You ask how long you've been asleep. Shishi said.

The fish-faced old man turned his head and asked the black beauty on the other side, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Your Excellency, you've been asleep for nine hours. ”

The fish-faced old man sighed: "Time flies so fast when I'm old, I used to have twenty-four hours of life, but now I only have half of it, if it weren't for the carrier, what is the difference between me and death?"

Neither Shish nor Rima responded, their heads bowed and did not dare to look at the fish-faced old man who was sitting on the bed.

The fish-faced old man said to himself: "I am one hundred and twenty-six years old, and I don't know when I will sleep and die in bed unconsciously......"

Rima helped the old man lift the blanket covering his body, and comforted him softly: "My lord, our Black Death biotechnology is so powerful, we will soon be able to study the mystery of God's genes, and then you will be immortal." ”

"Immortal?" said the old man laughed dryly again, "in fact, it is not interesting to live too long, like Nebuchadnezzar, who watched his friends, lovers, and disciples die one after another, leaving him alone....."

"Master Nebuchadnezzar?" Hishi and Rima looked surprised at the same time, they looked at each other and spoke at the same time, Hishi asked, "Could it be that Master Nebuchadnezzar can live forever?", while Rima asked, "Aren't you friends with Nebuchadnezzar?"

The fish-faced old man looked at the two women left and right, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a vague and weird smile, which was pieced together with the pattern of the fish-faced mask, which was a little infiltrating, "It's all a good question." After a pause, he said coldly, "Those who do our intelligence investigation business don't need friends, and they can't have friends, who knows one day, someone will sell your friends at a price you can't refuse?"

The two women were silent.

"As for whether Nebuchadnezzar can live forever, I don't know, but my father and my grandfather both worked for him, how to count him as having lived for at least two hundred years, the key is to maintain a young and healthy body, and maintain eternal youth....." The old man's cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer of brilliance, but this brilliance was fleeting, and he sighed sadly, "What can you do if you stay young forever? The aging of the body can still be repaired, and the heart is this thing, when it is old, it is old, and there is no way to remedy it." ”

With such a deep sigh, the two young and beautiful women could not appreciate it, and the atmosphere stiffened for a moment, and the red-haired beauty Shishi said cautiously: "My lord, maybe you have obtained the 'Shadow of the Plague', inherited the Black Death, and can be like Lord Nebuchadnezzar?"

The fish-faced old man shook his head, "Lord Nebuchadnezzar's eternal youth has nothing to do with the position of the Black Death, only with a holy artifact.....

"What Hallow?" the two women asked in unison, their tones full of curiosity and anticipation, what woman doesn't look forward to eternal youth?

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. The fish-faced old man raised his wrist to activate his carrier, and as the DNA chain rose beside the bed, he lay down again, "If you want to get the news, you have to pay the price." ”

—————————————————————————

A moment later, a young man in a white dress and a red bow tie walked out of the captain's room, he was none other than Shaxx, the forty-fourth of the seventy-two demon gods of the Black Death, that is, Costa Lucas, the president of the world-famous intelligence organization "Sullivan", to be precise, his carrier.

It was he who went to see Napoleon VII in person last year, which led to the cooperation between Napoleon VII and Astaro. Although his ranking among the Black Death Demon Gods is only forty-four, this ranking does not accurately reflect the true strength of Costa Lucas, after all, it is not fair to Costa Lucas in terms of combat strength alone.

In terms of family influence, whether it is the "Sullivan family" in the inner world or the "Costa family" in the surface world, no one dares to offend easily.

Who doesn't have a little secret, or doesn't need to know someone else's little secret?

Costa Lucas gently wrapped his arms around the soft waist of the redhead as Shishi closed the door, and he pulled the unprepared redhead into his arms and sucked her rosy lips fiercely, acting violently, like a vampire thirsty for luscious blood. It wasn't until the redhead in his arms became short of breath that he let go of her, licked his lips, and said with a smile: "The taste of a young body is really fresh and beautiful, and people never get tired of it." ”

Shishi lifted the gold-rimmed glasses that had been crooked by Costa Lucas, and slightly distanced himself from him, and said with a smile: "My lord, there are many young women, but there are few reliable subordinates. ”

"Reliable, no one can really be relied on except himself..... "Costa Lucas shrugged his shoulders, "the so-called reliable is nothing more than the price of betrayal is not high enough." ”

"It's sad to say that. ”

"It would be my pleasure if it really could make you sad. Costa Lucas turned and lifted Shisch's chin, "There is nothing more precious than the heart of an innocent girl......"

The delicate redhead pushed Kosta Lucas's hand away angrily, "My lord, I have nothing to do with the word girl, I am as bad as a witch in a fairy tale, maybe worse, a very pure cousin woman....."

Costa Lucas put down his hand, smiled and said, "No, Shi, there is no causal relationship between bad and innocence, and bad women can be very innocent. ”

"You mean??"

Costa Lucas did not answer Shisch's question, he looked up at the high side of the ship, glanced at the stained white English - "Mediterranean overture" (Mediterranean overture), and said lightly: "Then let's go and see why Napoleon VII ran so far to stop a bulk carrier smuggling arms.....

————————————————————————

The two of them used the "teleportation" to quietly reach the deck and walked towards the stern of the ship. The redhead who followed behind Costa Lucas was on tiptoe, her steps becoming as light as a cat, and the crystal-like heels that were illuminated by the moonlight would hover a millimeter or two above the deck each time, but the strange pace did not affect the feeling of the redhead writhing and seducting the catwalk.

When they reached the ship, Costa Lucas and the redhead jumped high, their movements were so light that the air filled with the smell of the sea seemed to turn into water, and they were floating divers, and at a seemingly slow, but in fact very fast, they "swam" to the fifth floor in an instant, over the railing, to the door of the captain's room.

After landing in the hallway, Shaxx stood sideways by the door with his hands behind his back, and the woman in red raised her hand to knock on the door with understanding, "Bang, bang, bang" After the unhurried knocking sound, Captain Omero's impatient response came from inside: "Who?" followed by a small mutter, "Isn't it at sea, and the third watch in the middle of the night is looking for scolding?"

"Captain Omero, I am a staff member of the Port of Latakia attached to Ennoth, and I have something to ask you. The redhead Heather said softly, her voice uninspiring, like the murmur of a mermaid in the sea breeze.

Captain Omero, who was in the door, was quiet for a moment, then restrained his impatience and said unhurriedly, "Okay, I'll put on some clothes and open the door." ”

A moment later, Captain Omero, dressed in the captain's coat, opened the door open a crack, and he looked at the glamorous redhead Shish, who looked like a female vampire, through the crack of the door, and said warily, "Can you show me your work ID?"

Shish smiled, the moonlight shining on her face, shining like a silver treasure, her hand lightning through the narrow crack in the door, pinpointing Captain Omero's throat.

Captain Omero's reaction was also very fast, he raised his hand to raise the gun he had been holding in his hand, but when he pulled the trigger, he was shocked, his fingers were lonely, and when he was raised by the redhead with one hand, he realized that the gun in his hand was missing. He was shocked, but he didn't forget to pull out the battle dagger at his waist, trying to cut off the hand of the ghostly woman in front of him, but he still touched the empty ......

Shish grabbed Captain Omero by the throat and lifted him into the room with ease. Costa Lucas walked into the captain's room with a gun in one hand and a shiny dagger in the other, and smiled at Captain Omero, who had been thrown on the couch by Shisch, "Are you looking for this?"

Captain Omello, who was thinking about what was going on and what to do, was surprised to find that there was a man in an exaggerated white suit outside the door, and when he opened the crack in the door, he had peeked left and right, but he didn't find anyone, so where did this person come from? Why did he still have his gun and dagger in his hand?

"Is it the damned Chosen One?" thought Captain Omero, a cold sweat broke out on his face, and he didn't know what to do in the face of inhuman power, so he could only lean back on the sofa and pretend to be calm and stared at the two white men dressed in white and black in front of him. "Don't be afraid. Costa Lucas walked over to the coffee table, bent down to place the pistol and dagger on the wooden coffee table, and pushed it in front of Captain Omelo, "If this thing gives you a sense of security, you might as well take it." ”

Captain Omero looked down at the pistol and dagger on the coffee table, but did not move, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you, and what are you doing?"

"No, no......" Costa Lucas raised his right hand and shook his index finger with his left hand behind his back, "You are not qualified to ask questions, you can only answer our questions." ”

"What do you want to ask?"

The dagger on the coffee table jumped up on its own, and stabbed the tip of Captain Omero's nose with a sharp slam, and Captain Omero was startled again, his pupils became cross-eyed, and he could only watch the sharp dagger slowly spin in front of his nose, and he seemed to be in a nightmare, suppressed by a terrifying force that could not move.

"I said, you're not qualified to ask questions, honestly what I ask, you can answer anything......"

Captain Omero rolled his throat and clenched his fists.

"In order not to delay each other's time and to be more honest, I'll show you something first. Costa Lucas waved his hand, and the redhead pulled her phone out of her pocket and placed it on the coffee table.

Captain Omero looked down and saw his home playing on his phone screen, his wife and three children tied to a chair, socks in their mouths, and their eyes full of fear. Captain Omero, who had not shown much fear or nervousness, trembled all over, and opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to roar, but in the end nothing came out.

"It was great. Costa Lucas applauded, and his abrupt applause echoed in the cramped captain's room, "It means that you are calm now and don't talk nonsense, then I will start asking questions." ”

Captain Omero stared at the familiar dagger and swam back to the coffee table like a tadpole before focusing his gaze on the man in white standing in front of him.

"On the 27th of January, a fleet stopped your ship, for what?"

Seeing that the other party lowered his eyes and looked at the mobile phone screen on the coffee table, Omero also unconsciously glanced at the mobile phone screen, when he saw the frightened faces of his wife and children, he raised his head and closed his eyes, his heart was slightly relieved, there was really nothing to hide about Athena and Ryktzka, it was none of his business, so he said without hesitation: "They are the fleet of France, in order to find someone." ”

That's a good answer. Costa Lucas nodded, "If I could be a little more detailed, maybe I would have praised it a little more." ”

"It's Napoleon VII looking for Princess Athena...... Captain Omero told the events of those days in detail, including the scene where Athena jumped out of the whale's mouth, but he didn't say the ambiguous relationship between Cheng Mo and Athena, he guessed that Napoleon VII sent someone to hunt down and kill his rival, if he revealed that he still knew about this kind of thing, maybe the other party would kill people.

When Captain Omero finished speaking, Costa Lucas nodded noncommittally.

Captain Omero hurriedly swore and said, "I swear, when they got on the ship, I really didn't know their identity, they disguised themselves as the shipowners, I didn't mean to cooperate with them to escape at all, I was completely unintentionally involved, I was very innocent......"

Costa Lucas paced back and forth, as if thinking for a while, before suddenly turning to look at Omero and asking casually, "Shouldn't the destination of your ship be the port of Antalya in Turzi?

Captain Omero's face changed, and under the forced gaze of Costa Lucas, he was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with Princess Athena's affairs, I can't say. ”

"Can't say that?" Costa Lucas smiled, turning his head to look at the redhead Shishi beside him, "Someone said to me 'can't say'....."

Xi Shi helped the headset and said expressionlessly: "Chop off that woman's hands." ”

Captain Omero's eyes widened in horror, and he stood up and waved his hand as if to stop it, and saw blood splattered on the screen, his wife was pressed against the table, her hands cut off, his children screamed and cried, and his wife had fainted.

Captain Omero reached for the gun on the coffee table, but the gun he usually carried in his arms seemed to have taken root on the coffee table, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pick it up, or even move it.

"If you're willing to say it, it's too late to take your wife to the hospital. Costa Lucas spoke softly, as if he was kindly consoling, "You look at how neatly the wound is cut, and the difficulty of the operation is reduced a lot......

Captain Omero gritted his teeth and said, "Devil, you will go to Hellfire!"

"Don't you really say that?" asked Costa Lucas softly.

Captain Omero's face flushed, and he stared angrily at the man in the white dress in front of him, his gasps getting thicker and thicker, as if he was ready to rush up and knock the man in front of him to the ground, smashing his skull with his head.

"Don't say it. Costa Lucas chuckled at Captain Omero, who was on the verge of losing his mind like a bull, "It's not that I don't know that your ship is tasked with transporting arms for the Sultan Gang Rebellion, I just want to hear what you have to say, Captain Omero....." Costa Lucas shook his head, "I should call you Senior Colonel Ahmed Abduon Tahir." ”

The other man jokingly told the secret of what he regarded as his life, which made Captain Omero despair, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Actually, I'm satisfied, even if you were threatened, you didn't lie. Costa Lucas waved his hand, and Captain Omero, who was trying to pull the pistol, suddenly lost his point of strength and fell back on the couch, the pistol in his hand. Costa Lucas looked down at Captain Omero on the couch with a smile on his face, "It's a very precious quality, you must keep it." You know, I hate lying the most, and it makes my job much harder. Your religion is also outrageous, and you allow lying to your enemies, my God, it's terrible...... As an honest person, whether it is to his family or to his enemies, he cannot lie, and the most important thing in being a man is not to be able to double standard......"

The redhead standing to the side rolled her eyes unabashedly.

Captain Omero, who was sitting on the sofa, was trembling, he didn't hear what the demonic man in white was saying, but in the confusion he thought about whether he should raise his gun and shoot, and beat the man into a sieve, or be beaten into a sieve......

"What do you know about the man with Athena?"

Captain Omero finally put down the gun, and he said blankly: "I don't know, he wears a human skin mask the whole time, I only know that his ostensible identity is a drug dealer named Ryketzka, and his actual identity is Interpol ......"

"It's really funny. Costa Lucas raised his hand and touched his chin, and he asked in a deep voice, "The two of them have been living in the same room?"

"Yes. However, after Princess Athena returned from Napoleon VII, they lived separately. ”

"Why?"

"There was a quarrel. ”

"Similar to a quarrel between lovers, presumably Princess Athena was upset that Mr. Requetzka did not wait for her at the agreed place. ”

"Hahahaha~~~~" Costa Lucas laughed, "The plot is getting more and more interesting, take me to their room to see ......"

——————————————————————

Captain Omero did not make it out of the chief engineer's bedroom, and a dagger was inserted into his eyebrows, so he lay on the floor forever.

Costa Lucas took advantage of the moonlight to peel off the skin of the sofa chair with countless messy marks, walked out of the engine room, folded the brown leather and stuffed it into his pocket, and happily said to the woman in red behind him, Shisch: "The less people know, the more valuable the news." ”

The red-haired Hisch frowned, "If Athena really returned to the 'Mediterranean Overture' and went to Syria with that mysterious man, then who is that Athena by Napoleon VII's side now?

"Whoever was around Napoleon VII, Athena, who is now in Syria, must be the real Athena......"

"If it's true, then this news can sell for a lot of money. ”

A mysterious smile bloomed on Costa Lucas's face, "Shisch, you're still too young, and you still have a lot to learn, I think..... The more valuable news should be who the man next to Athena is....."

"Maybe just an ordinary person. Hirsch said with some unconvinced.

Costa Lucas shook his head, "You are naked jealous of Athena Onassis. ”

"Isn't that the heir of House Onassis and House Delome?" Hisch sneered, "If I were the heir of House Onassis and House Drom, I wouldn't do worse than her....."

Costa Lucas sneered, "So you sent him to seduce Napoleon VII, and no one else looked at you?" The redhead Shishi grimaced, "I just tried it casually to see what kind of person he was." I'm really going to do my best, what's so hard about seducing him into bed? ”

Costa Lucas put his arms around the redhead's slender waist, "Then I'm still a little reluctant......"

The redhead snorted, pushed Costa Lucas away, jumped off the ship first, and then jumped into the "Flash" not far away.

Costa Lucas watched Shi's dazzling red hair disappear, opened the private channel and whispered: "Dare to leave the boss alone to take care of the aftermath, it's really yours." ”

"Lord Shaxx, I'm just complying with your orders to come to the ship first and disguise myself and prepare to enter the interior of Syria. ”

"Okay! remember to wear my favorite black suspender and mesh socks.," Shaxx licked his lips, "Maybe you can do a striptease to show me when I'm bored." ”

"Lord Shaxx, this joke is not funny at all. ”

"Shouldn't seducing men be a compulsory course for us Sullivan spies?" Saxton paused, "I remember you scored 'S' ...... on all your exams."

"But I'm not a spy now. ”

"That doesn't mean that you can waste the skills you've learned over the years, you have to show them to your boss. ”

"Haven't I been showing?" said Shish, in a stunned tone.

Costa Lucas was stunned for a long time, sighed, and sighed: "Sure enough, this woman of yours was born to be a cousin......"

——————————————————————

The convoy drove for a long time through the Gobi-like wasteland, passing countless barren villages and countless bare yellow hills, until at dusk, it finally arrived at a village and town. It was not so much a village as a stronghold, and Cheng Mo had not seen a village or town for a long time that still retained the style of the ancient period, with towering walls and arrow stacks.

Guards patrolled the walls, and anti-aircraft machine guns stood in the battlements, the muzzles of the black holes pointed at the sky, making the warm sunsets look cold.

The village is heartbreakingly dilapidated, with no signs of modernity, not even reinforced concrete, all yellow brick and stone houses, painted with Saudidian slogans on the walls, and the streets are filled with only soldiers in camouflage uniforms and guns.

This extremely primitive and rough look makes people feel like they have traveled back in time to the thirties and forties of the last century. The convoy passed through the town and stopped at the square of a temple in the middle of the town, probably the grandest building in the whole town, and the other houses were low-rise bungalows of one floor, but the temple was twenty or thirty meters high.

Seeing Tamer coming over and motioning for them to get out of the car, Khalid turned to Athena and said, "Lady Wendy, you'd better put your headscarf on......"

Athena turned her head to look at the black silk scarf on her seat, puzzled.

Cheng Mo pushed the car door and said, "Put it on! Your golden hair is so beautiful, the fewer people see it, and we can also have less trouble." ”

Athena silently picked up the black headscarf and handed it to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo took the headscarf and got out of the car, stood by the door and carefully tied the headscarf for Athena, and then he subconsciously wanted to take Athena's hand, but Athena ruthlessly avoided it. Cheng Mo smiled bitterly in his heart: "When did holding her hand become such a natural action?"

Tamer walked up to Cheng Mo and Athena and said, "This is our command center, so let's ask Mr. Rekska and Miss Wendy to rest inside, and I'll go meet our leader about the donation of medicines, and then discuss with you....."

Cheng Mo nodded.

Tamer then turned to the beautiful female soldier who was following him and said, "Heller, I will go to see your father, and you will take them to rest, and remember to treat them as honored guests.....

Heller raised his gun and said "yes", said "please" to Cheng Mo and Athena in Saudi, and led the way to the onion head temple with a cold face.
