2 Prometheus Fire
After the fierce battle, there was an unusual dead silence in the parking lot.
Sikong Xingxing coughed pretentiously: "Go back, go back, go back, I'm hungry, just go to breakfast." He slapped Cai Xiaofo's thin shoulder hard, "Let's go, let's go, listen to the eagle's words, it won't be wrong." ”
The two were just about to turn around and come back when a tall, thin young man in white staggered out from behind a Buick RV, carrying a black rifle in his left hand, and looked around vigilantly as he went.
"Tian Qi, haha, Tian Qi-" Sikong Xingxing's laughter was instantly replaced by an exclamation, because the two shoulder sockets of the man in white were bleeding outward, dyeing red from his shoulders all the way to the hem of his trousers.
The man in white has a pair of dark and bright eyes, slender eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, shoulder-length curls loosely draped, if you change the spear in your hand to the microphone of a TV station artist, he will immediately be no less than those movie and television stars who are in the limelight. He is Tian Qi, a Scorpio beautiful man who sees the world coldly and single-handedly.
"Eagle?" Tian Qi's eyes lit up, his eyes were like black gems soaked in ice water, with a cold light that was not angry and self-threatening. His gaze was cold, but I could feel the enthusiasm in his heart, and every time we met, he looked at me with this kind of indifferent appearance and fiery eyes, and many blood-boiling words flashed silently in the wordless gaze.
"Sikong, Buddha-" Tian Qi smiled, but when he looked at the two of them, the jewel-like light quietly extinguished.
"How did this happen?" I was a little puzzled.
"It's Wang Lao Wu, he used the movement of his men to shoot to cover up the sneak attack on you, and I intercepted him halfway, and we fired at each other within five meters-" He opened the five fingers of his right hand, and two steel-core armor-piercing bullets that flashed with cold light clanged and fell, "Wang Lao Wu's gun bullet is known as 'killing people without blood', and sure enough, the bullet is also coated with strong poison." Eagle, I need to be away for a while, take care of yourself, especially when entering the desert, be sure to ...... Act cautiously......"
I understand that Wang Lao Wu evacuated decisively, not really to give me face, but was injured in the outlaw duel with Tian Qi, and he was not sure to shoot again, so he left the scene and left.
"So, Wang Lao Wu was also shot, and how was the injury?" Cai Xiaofo interjected suspiciously, with a sly sneer and irrepressible joy on his face alternately.
Tian Qi nodded to Cai Xiaofo, nodded to me again, slowly retreated, and got into the Buick. He is not a person who likes to make great achievements, so he doesn't bother to describe the merits and losses of this battle to others, but I know that since he is seriously injured, Wang Lao Wu must not be much better.
Cai Xiaofo watched Tian Qi's car rush out of the parking lot, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Sikong, Wang Lao Wu is seriously injured, we have nothing to fear, call a travel agency guide in a while, take us to the pyramid for a walk, and by the way, see if we can find some clues to the sea of gold." ”
Sikong Xingxing pressed the button of the elevator for me, and smiled with a smile: "Eagle, let's not go up, let's enjoy your two-person world." Don't worry, my mouth is very strict, I haven't seen anything, let alone heard, hehehehe......"
I'm not in the mood to laugh, I've been sleepless all night and I've been exhausted by shocks, and now I just want to sit down and rest for a while, and drink a cup of strong tea to cheer up. As for Xi Wei, she is even more reluctant to support, almost to the point of running out of oil and lamps, if she can't be treated as soon as possible, the toxin of "a little red in the morning sun" will further expand and penetrate into the heart, liver, spleen and kidneys, and the consequences will be terrible.
"I'm sorry. After the elevator door closed, Xiwei broke free from my support, leaned over and whispered.
"Why do you say that? I took you out last night, I should have brought you back well, and I should have said sorry. "There seems to be a subtle chasm between us, and the closer we get together, the more obvious the indescribable gap becomes, always between the two of us.
"Ahh
The staff elevator was noisy and kept shaking slightly during the ascent, but Syvi struggled to support herself and never leaned over again.
The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, Huo's bang, the slightly dirty door parted left and right, and a waitress in a gray uniform hurriedly stepped in with her head down, and saw the bloodstained elevator panel at a glance, and screamed, almost jumping up and hitting Xiwei.
The door closed again, and the waiter's lips trembled uncontrollably: "First...... Sir, want to help...... Is it?"
She had a fair, delicate face, dark eyelashes and oily braids that are characteristic of Arab girls, and her uniform was ironed neatly and meticulously.
"Don't be afraid, please hold on to this young lady, let's go to room 1808. "I couldn't explain what happened in the elevator in a short period of time, so I didn't mention it at all, and left everything to the police.
"Yes, yes, yes. The waiter held Sylvie's right arm, stunned for a moment, her eyes rolling, and her gaze kept projecting on me.
I took out the phone, thought about dialing a number, and the slow voice of the computer operator came from the receiver: "Please enter the password." ”
Humans in modern society should be grateful to mobile phones, which can be connected to the mountains and seas at any time, to any corner of the earth. The owner of this phone number should be in the Golden Triangle region of the Asian continent at the moment, guarding a large poppy field, spending all day and drinking happily.
I entered a line of twelve-digit digital password, and after a burst of electromagnetic wave exchange, the computer operator continued to respond: "Please enter the five-level firewall password-" The other party's communication protection network is from the handwriting of Europe's top telecommunications manufacturers, with five-level firewalls, seamless monitoring, permanent anti-brute force cracking and other advanced functions, even if the masters of the CIA go out, they may not be able to break through the protection and talk directly to the owner of the number.
After entering the password, I finally heard a familiar voice: "Who?
"I'm looking for the Poison King. I replied with a smile.
Opposite Xiwei and the waiter had no expression on their faces, presumably not caring who I was calling, and they didn't have the heart to think about it at all.
"Eagle? Is it you? Why are you in such a good mood to call me?" the other party's Chinese was not fluent.
I got straight to the point: "Fu Bo, I need detailed information about the people and horses of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong when they crossed the border recently, and they are in a hurry." ”
The other party laughed: "Eagle, you are really impatient, what happened?"
I adjusted my breathing and suppressed my slightly anxious emotions, the other party was the border drug king after the old generation of "Golden Triangle Drug King" Kunsha withdrew from the rivers and lakes. Even official sources from the United Nations say that the power of the mourning wave is unfathomable and can almost shape the global drug market.
"Eagle, are there many beauties in Cairo? It is said that there is a rich widow Charlotte who is already a, and she is amazingly beautiful, have you made a special trip to take a look?" The Golden Triangle, which seems to be a barren land to outsiders, has actually been carefully built by generations of drug kings, and has become a golden cave for men to get drunk and dream of death.
"Fubo, I'm not in the mood to joke, as long as the information—and all the information from the Tang Sect when they crossed your territory. Do you know? Tang Mei, known as the "No. 1 female bounty hunter in the rivers and lakes", is in Cairo City at the moment, and there are many people with her. If you still regard me as a friend, you will quickly pass on the information. ”
I then gave the fax number to my room, and just then, the elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor.
Sylvie coughed lightly, and with the help of the waiter, slowly stepped out of the elevator, turned a corner, and stepped onto the beige carpet that led to Room 1808.
"I didn't treat you as a friend—" Fu Bo laughed endlessly, and suddenly sighed with great emotion, "Eagle, I have always regarded you as my own reborn parent, and the incident you single-handedly rescued me from the Colombian drug nest will never be forgotten for the rest of my life." Remember, I said at the time, in this life, anything I have can be divided into half of you, whether it's money, drugs, women, or the 30,000 disciples of the Golden Triangle under my command, including my life—"
What he said was just a small thing before I quit the rivers and lakes, and for me, hundreds of lone assassinations, Jedi ambushes, and murders to save people were just tasks assigned by my superiors. It is not only a task, but of course a stylized thing, like a game of chess, which I cannot control.
"I forgot about that incident a long time ago, and I hope you will erase it from your memory as soon as possible. "I didn't want to digress and stop alone around the corner of the hallway. Thanks to the appearance of this waitress, I had time to clear my mind and call Fubo for help in time.
"How could you forget it - Eagle, speaking of the Tangmen in Shuzhong, there is a very bad thing on my side, a good friend from Thailand was killed by Tang Mei, and his body was thrown on the edge of the barren water beach, and he was pecked by vultures. This time, the twenty-five people who sent Tang Men out of the customs collected a total of one million US dollars in commissions, which is not enough to compensate others, if you have the opportunity to meet Tang Mei, remember to seek justice for me. ”
Fu Bo's mood immediately subsided, probably the one who died was also a big man in the Thai underworld, if the loss of money can be settled, the most feared thing is that money alone cannot be settled, and the two sides will fight again. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and a big drug king like Fubo is actually inevitably having his own troubles.
"Twenty-five people, besides Tang Mei and the Ten Demons, who else?" I cheered up, and the shadows of countless Tang Sect masters flashed in my mind.
"I've only seen Aunt Tang, Tang Ao, Tang Sancai and the four talents of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, and the other seven have delicate human skin masks on their faces, so I can't tell who they are. Eagle, Aunt Tang has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for 20 years, and this time she claims to be going to Cairo for sightseeing and sightseeing, and she doesn't care about things, but this reason seems to be difficult to convince. I've always thought that there would be a big operation in Tangmen soon, but after thinking about it, what else is there to covet in that great desert in Egypt besides mummified corpses?"
Fu Bo said as he kept gasping.
He is a well-informed old Jianghu, and of course he understands the seriousness of the appearance of "Ren is amorous and kills" Tang Auntie, "Bloody Hand" Tang Ao, and "Ten Thousand Kills Without Regrets" Tang Sancai. Because they have always disdained to travel together, in the eyes of these three top masters, there is nothing important on the rivers and lakes that is worth the three of them at the same time.
As for Tang Feng, Tang Hua, Tang Xue, and Tang Yue, the four of them, who became famous in the Venetian underworld in Italy, are said to be the proud protégés personally cultivated by the mafia leader.
"What else?" Before I knew it, a fine layer of cold sweat oozed from my forehead.
"The Snake King said—" Mourning Bo realized his gaffe and suddenly raised his voice, "Of course, those words were before he was killed by Tang Mei. He said that the rumors of the 'fire of Prometheus' have reappeared in the underworld of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and more than 500 black and white forces around the world have taken action, not to mention the Italian mafia, Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi, and other old organizations, and even the special intelligence departments of the United States and Russia have all heard the news. Eagle, fortunately, you withdrew from the rivers and lakes earlier, otherwise this time you will inevitably be involved again, and then you can't say that everyone will stand on the opposite side again. ”
The sound of the gloomy voice stopped, and there was an extra layer of sadness in the sound of the mourning waves.
"Which snake king? Could it be a Thai-Chinese white wound?" I realized the gravity of the situation.
"Apart from him, who has the face to become my guest of honor in the Golden Triangle? As soon as he died, not to mention cutting off my heroin delivery channel in Southeast Asia, it caused a huge shock in the drug distribution networks in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, and I am afraid that we will have to fight each other for several more years, and thousands ......of people will have to be killed and injured."
In the mafia fight, it will be the police and innocent citizens in the six places who will really be affected, and this is what worries me the most.
"Eagle, you know more about the 'Fire of Prometheus' than I do, so you don't need to explain it. I will pass on to you the passport details of the Tang Sect characters and clear portrait photos of the last ones they appeared, and it is best to avoid them for the time being. Actually, they don't want to provoke a master like you, everyone comes out to roam the rivers and lakes, seeking wealth rather than anger, if the goal of the Tang Sect is to 'Prometheus Fire', you don't need to worry. ”
It can be seen that Fu Bo is really planning for me, the underworld is mixed, and there are not many people like him whose hearts have not completely turned black.
"Thanks, I'll be careful. Although the expressions on each other's faces could not be seen through the phone line, the emotion conveyed in the voices could not be concealed.
"Eagle, in the past, you were a soldier, I was a thief, and I didn't dare to climb high. Now, your identity has changed, and whenever you need my help, you only need a phone call, and the people on this side of the Golden Triangle will not hesitate to fold you into a mountain of dead corpses - hehe, having said that, I believe that with your ability, nothing will be difficult. Honestly, I heard a young girl coughing in a low voice just now, is it the Cairo beauty you just caught?"
Fu Bo had painstakingly practiced Taoist martial arts in Mount Emei on the mainland, and his light skills, eyesight, hearing, and marksmanship were first-class, and of course Xi Wei's movements when he walked out of the elevator couldn't hide from him.
"Just a normal friend—"
I had just answered half a sentence when a girl's voice suddenly came out of the other party's earpiece: "Eagle?"
After the two fists and palms exchanged lightly, Fu Bo's angry voice rose to the sky: "Miss Bai, I let you for the sake of the snake king's face, don't take an inch, okay?"
"Eagle, I am Bai Li, the daughter of Bai Wound One. Have you seen Tang Mei? Give me an address, and I'll fly to Cairo within 24 hours. "The other party's English is fluent and sweet, and the sound is probably no more than twenty years old.
I was stunned: "Miss Bai, Tang Mei and I just met by chance, Cairo is so big, no one can necessarily find her." ”
Bai Li sneered: "Mr. Chen Ying, my father has taught me the phrase 'business in business' since I was a child, don't worry, although my surname is Bai, I won't come to the door to disturb in vain." Now, I have the world's most detailed set of 'Prometheus Fire' information in my hand, and the black market price is 50 million US dollars, and you won't feel at a loss if you exchange it for Tang Mei's whereabouts, right?"
"Snake King" Bai Chuan Yi is a hegemon on the Thai underworld, and has had many beautiful women around him, but he only gave birth to this one daughter, and it is said that her mother is a mixed-race beauty with dual Thai and American blood. I have seen Bai Li on the cover of entertainment magazines, it is a standard beauty embryo, and Bai Li has also paved the way for her to enter the Asian entertainment industry early.
"Miss Bai, I have had a relationship with Ling Zun, and I also feel very sad about his passing-" Mourning Bo and Bai Injury can be regarded as gathering like things and people in groups, both of them are underworld heroes who are willing to stick knives in the ribs for their friends, maybe this is the nature of Chinese men.
"Eagle, there is no need to say nice words, the rivers and lakes are originally a place where the weak eat the strong, and they have never changed since ancient times. My father had killed a lot of people, and he had expected such an outcome. All I can do is to avenge him, and to mention that Tang Mei's head will go back to Thailand and give an account to all his subordinates. The 'Prometheus Fire' is a mysterious treasure that everyone is looking for, and I hope my information will bring you good luck. ”
She didn't listen to me at all, maybe her father's feud had already ignited the blood in her chest.
The earpiece returned to Fu Bo's hand, and he sighed and couldn't say a word.
"Are you sure that Tang Mei killed the Snake King?" I hope that this matter has room for change, after all, there are so many masters of the Tang Sect in Shu at the same time, and the two sides are fighting, Bai Li may not be able to easily take Tang Mei's life. She is the only offspring of Bai Shenyi, and once she misses, the deceased will not be at ease under Jiuquan.
"Yes, 100 percent sure. "Fu Bo is quite sure," Eagle, the snake king fell in love with Tang Mei, maybe some words and actions blasphemed her, which caused both parties to take action. I have to admit that the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is not so easy to mess with, the snake king carries three iron wire snakes on his body at any time, but he doesn't even have a chance to make a move-"
This point, not only Fu Bo admitted, but everyone in the world has to admit that the power of the Tang Sect in Shu is like a weed in the wasteland, as long as there is a handful of grass roots left, as soon as the time comes, it will immediately be able to connect the sky.
"Mourning, it looks like I'm just left to fate, right?" I felt a sharp tingling in my temples, and I was so sleepy and sleepy that I couldn't wait to find a sofa to lie down and make up for a good night's sleep.
"Eagle, you take a look at the information first, in fact, Bai Li is not the delicate girl you imagined. Oh yes, what she promised you will definitely be done, and after getting the information on the 'Prometheus Fire', be sure to be vigilant. In my opinion, it is not a priceless treasure, but a firewood that burns the body. ”
Fu Bo's voice became more and more cold, which showed that the situation he foresaw was not optimistic.
After saying goodbye, he sighed and hung up the phone gently, leaving only a busy tone in the receiver. I haven't given my address, but I'm sure Bai Li will soon be able to find out through the relationship.
On the side of the hallway was a baroque carved brass plastic surgery mirror, which reflected my haggard face, a dense layer of stubble on my chin, and a very dark look.
"The first thing to do is to go back to my room and get some sleep—" I leaned forward against the wall, my headache getting stronger and my breathing became shorter.
On either side of Room 1808, a pair of policemen in civilian clothes sat in the front, their hands vigilantly in their trouser pockets.
I really feel strange, they are sitting here honestly, how could they let Sikong pick up stars and Cai Xiaofo and escape calmly? The two young people are naturally optimists, and as soon as they heard the news of Wang Laowu's retreat, they relaxed most of their vigilance, which is not a good thing.
"Mr. Chen, Officer Miz has sent us, and everything is at your disposal. The two of them got up at the same time, with a flattering smile on their faces, and they barely raised their hands in salute.
I took out my wallet and drew two bills to divide among them: "Where's Officer Miz?"
With several dead and wounded in the underground parking lot, Officer Miz had his chance to show his skills and clean up the mess.
"I don't know. The smiles of the two men became more and more groveling, and they did not even dare to look me in the face, and one of them opened the door for me graciously.
The waiter was walking out, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately crossed his hands on his waist and bowed respectfully: "Sir, I'll prepare breakfast, and it will be delivered in ten minutes, please wait." "Her figure is quite standard, although she is just an ordinary hotel overalls, she is curved and exquisite.
I was so tired that I just nodded and smiled, omitting even kind words like "thank you".
While the fax machine was working, I sat down on the couch next to the machine, stretched my legs comfortably, and exhaled a large gulp of muffled turbidity on my back.
I've always been a fan of "bounty hunters", because as long as the characters who enter this industry are full of the word "dollars", and their lives have become a game of constantly chasing prey. To put it nicely, they're called "hunters", but to put it mildly, they're just hounds thrown out by the bounty hunters, and it's the bounty hunters who really control the pace of the kill.
Therefore, I have a natural sense of rejection for Tang Mei's identity, even if she is definitely a beauty full of wildness.
There was a lot of information from the mourners, until the waiter came back with a silver-plated food truck, and it was still working non-stop.
"Could the large-scale operation of the Tang Sect be for the 'fire of Prometheus'? If the information obtained by Fu Bo is completely true, every force involved in this treasure hunting operation will probably have to be distracted to resist hundreds of underworld people at the same time, so as to explain the abnormal movements of the three masters of Tang Auntie, Tang Ao, and Tang Sancai——"
Although my eyes were closed, the figure in my head spun like a marquee, driving away the sleepiness that had just come to me.
"Prometheus Fire" has a very expressive Chinese name, called "Seal of the Heavenly Gods".
As we all know, the most important heirloom jade seal of the Chinese emperors is a piece of gold and jade antiquities, and in the turbulent era of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, whoever has the jade seal automatically has the identity of the emperor who commands the princes of the world. Although there are many gold and jade antiques inherited in the 5,000-year history of China, none of them can have the dual identity of priceless and powerful like the jade seal.
In a sense, the "fire of Prometheus" is also intertwined, and it is also admired by archaeologists and experts on the subject of evidence. I've seen a picture of it, and it's a one-foot-high, half-foot-diameter gold cylinder with eight pieces of colored jade one centimeter in diameter evenly set at the waist.
Experts have come to the unanimous conclusion that it appeared in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, sometimes coiled by a serpent, sometimes in the mouth of a beast, and many civilians bowed to it. They believed that the "Fire of Prometheus" was a token of awe for the common people, like a scepter in the hands of a ruler, with the same deterrent power as its owner.
Its name "Prometheus Fire" comes from a large fresco found in the Napoleonic era, in which the golden column is surrounded by an overwhelming fire and glows like the sun. Professor Lampardo, a French archaeologist who first saw the mural, came up with the name and it was quickly recognized by the industry.
