Chapter 41 Prelude to the Night(1/2)
The burning sunset glow is spreading in the clouds, and the carnival atmosphere on the island is heating up.
The landing at Kassel began a few hours ago.
The student team of more than fifty people set out from different countries, took different means of transportation, and even had different nationalities and identities. The only thing they had in common was that they all traveled to Zogo Island.
Without anyone noticing, Kassel's student elite have infiltrated the island, hunting for prey at all times.
But in the very center of the island, the Roman Star Hotel, which is used as the base camp, is full of singing and dancing, and a charity party is currently being held.
A young man in a tuxedo suit made a philanthropic speech on the stage, calling on everyone to donate. Then tear-jerking background music started playing. Celebrities came on stage one after another and put their filled-in checks into the box, as smoothly as
It’s like it’s been rehearsed——
It was really rehearsed.
This is also a way to deceive others, pretending that there is really a high-class charity party going on here that touches the whole world, but only a small number of people participate, and most people feel that the compassion in front of them is real.
The enemy's eyes may be all over the island. After landing on the island, the students need to move around for a while and pretend to integrate into the local area before they can start taking action.
Xi Ziyue was sitting in the corner of the hall, wearing a close-fitting suit-style dress. Her shoulders and figure were outlined with sharp edges, like unpolished obsidian, so sharp that it could visually cut people.
This is the character design assigned to her by the college, a somewhat rebellious upstart child, looking forward to a close encounter at a celebrity party... a setting that is quite blood-thirsty, but has no clear meaning.
"Have you prepared all your weapons?" Ling passed by her like a gust of wind and leaned against a pillar nearby.
Her style is a retro white dress. It is said that she often wears this dress in school. She is so familiar with it that no one will doubt that she comes from a well-known family.
She and Zero are set up as a pair of best friends who have a good relationship. They travel together and look for true love.
"I've brought them all." Xi Ziyue responded in a low voice.
In the violin case at her feet, the two small swords were still sleeping.
"Do you still remember the fighting skills I taught you?" Zero asked again.
"I probably remember."
For the past ten days, Zero has been teaching her fighting skills, which can also be regarded as mutual help between allies looking for Lu Mingfei.
What she taught was said to be KGB combat skills... To be honest, Xi Ziyue really didn't understand how she got involved with the dangerous thing of the KGB.
Zero suddenly stretched out his hand, like a ghost——
Xi Ziyue grasped it as if she had grasped seven inches of a small snake.
Zero's fingers were fixed in front of Xi Ziyue's eyes, and his nails almost touched her eyelashes.
Xi Ziyue's expression remained motionless, looking calmly at the murderous intent that was so close at hand.
"Very good, you are making rapid progress. Three days ago, I could often make sneak attacks successfully, but now I can no longer do so." Ling nodded and said.
"Thank you for the compliment."
It's still two pieces of ice talking.
The reason why the volley can be completed is still due to profiling. It can capture the subtle movements of people before attacking, such as the contraction of pupils and the unnatural movements of shoulders.
As long as Xi Ziyue is always vigilant about Zero, he will not be attacked by surprise.
After the charity meeting ended, the scene of the venue changed. Classical waltz played, the figures of men and women spun on the dance floor, and the bright champagne reflected the dazzling lights.
Not far outside the window, fireworks also rose quietly, which was a sign that the carnival had officially begun.
The carnival on Zogo Island is an annual large-scale project, and it is also a holiday paradise. At this time of year, the island is full of people, making it very suitable for crime.
Staring at the fireworks outside the window, a feeling of uneasiness fermented in her heart.
She had an indescribable anxiety about this mission, always feeling that danger was approaching.
"Excuse me, ladies, are you free?" A frivolous and malicious young man's voice came from the side, frightening Xi Ziyue. This danger really came at a moment's notice!
Xi Ziyue and Ling turned their heads together and both grasped the hidden weapons.
A young, handsome, well-dressed young man stood in front of the two of them, holding a glass of wine in his hand, with his hair growing very long, and his eyes full of spring-like charm.
Sissy--Xi Ziyue and Ling made this conclusion immediately.
"Seeing as the two young ladies have never had a dance partner, can you dance with me?" The young master stretched out his hand in a gesture of spreading flowers and willows, looking quite confident in his own charm.
"I'm sorry, you are not my type." Zero glanced at the other party coldly, "I like Shota, preferably under eight years old, and his height can only reach my waist at most."
Zero stood up and waved his hand at his waist, indicating that this was the upper limit of his height.
This posture has the feeling of Temujin raising his whip and shouting that no man will be married if he is taller than the whip... Bah, kill without mercy.
"Ah?" Young Master was dumbfounded, and his outlook was greatly shocked.
Xi Ziyue also spoke in the same cold tone: "I am only interested in men over 45...55 years old, such as Sir Humphrey, a knowledgeable and personable British cabinet administrative secretary."
"That's it, please come back." Zero issued the eviction order.
"Bye...goodbye."
He left in a daze, and these two little girls, one old and one young, made him very disillusioned in life.
"Done." Xi Ziyue and Ling fist-bumped.
Before the mission started, Xi Ziyue received relevant training. How to deal with this kind of men who don't have good eyesight to strike up a conversation is to tell them that I have a type that they like.
As for the type of person you like, you naturally have to take a tricky route. For example, if someone asks you which male star you like, you can never say I like Jay Chou, you have to say I like Guo Degang.
"Is this the first successful cooperation?" Zero asked.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate, and keep up the good work." Xizi replied.
The two soon stopped talking and continued to drink their own drinks, like giant pandas gnawing on their own bamboo.
During this period, although she maintained an ally relationship with Zero, they didn't talk much, and they were all related to the course content. The last time she had a heart-to-heart conversation like a friend was back when they had dinner in the greenhouse.
Maybe only eating can make the other party open up the conversation a little bit... He is really a panda.
Suddenly, their cell phones rang at the same time, and a text message was sent.
[Weather forecast: It is raining in Los Angeles, the wind force is level 3, and the rain intensity is moderate. Please bring rain gear when traveling]
This is a secret code.
It was hinted that it was time for the two of them to meet with the chief.
It is raining in Los Angeles. This allusion is likely to come from "It is raining in Santiago", the military coup code of the Chilean military officers. When this message appeared on the radio station in an inconspicuous form the next morning, all the military officers knew it.
The action is about to begin.
The first one to move was Zero. She walked around the ball symbolically, and after saying hello to other celebrities, she exited the hall and disappeared into the corridor.
Not long after, Xi Ziyue left with the piano case, took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel, and opened the door to the conference room——
The room was full of people, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at her.
After calmly walking through the conference room, Xi Ziyue walked into the small room further inside.
"Nice to meet you, our unique S-class, the hero who defeated Zero and Charlotte at the same time on Freedom Day, and successfully cracked the map of Attila's palace, Miss Xi Ziyue." The blond man sitting at the desk
He raised the champagne boldly.
Like the newborn celebration ceremony, Xiziyue was also given a glass of champagne.
"Thank you... thank you." Xi Ziyue was at a loss for a moment, then she raised her champagne in a symbolic gesture.
"I am Caesar, code name Dictado, the commander of this hunting operation. Nice to meet you." Caesar stepped forward and shook hands with Xi Ziyue.
This man is Caesar Gattuso. If this war between humans and dragons that spanned tens of thousands of years is compared to a stage play, Caesar Gattuso undoubtedly played an important role in it.
The slayer of the Lord of Bronze and Fire.
The designated heir of the Gattuso family.
Chen Motong's husband... If this is the case, Xi Ziyue might be able to call him brother-in-law and start a relationship.
"I am Percy, the master's deputy."
"I am Unovich, Executive Officer of the Executive Department in Malta."
The three of them came up and shook hands with Xi Ziyue one by one, while Ling sat aside and silently drank champagne.
"Before coming here, you should have already understood the details of this mission. Do you need me to repeat it again?" Caesar asked.
"unnecessary."
"I've teamed you up with Zero for this mission. You are the ace combination of S-class and student council president. She is responsible for beating people, and you are responsible for using your profiling ability to complete a series of auxiliary tasks."
"You also know that I have the ability to profile?" Xi Ziyue asked.
"Principal Angers specifically told me to take more care of you, so I naturally learned about your situation." Caesar laughed.
"A girl from the Chen family, the spirit of speech is the key, and the extra ability is the profile. In other words, you are Nuonuo's half-sister, so you are also mine...according to Chinese kinship relations,
What should I call her?" Caesar asked Patsy.
"Sister-in-law." Patsy nodded.
"Yes, sister-in-law! You are my sister-in-law!" Caesar snapped his fingers like a bingo.
Xi Ziyue choked on a mouthful of champagne, as if she had been stabbed by a fish bone.
To be continued...
