The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 109: The Hand of the Ghost (Part 1)
Siegment Danda, a writer who scorned the world, died in front of him like this, in the Holy Cross Cathedral where Chopin and Remont’s hearts were buried, and died in front of the icon of Christ Jesus, all around him silently. Tick, a drop of sweat smashed to the ground, awakening Gu Tie’s soul. There are no enemies, and there is still no sense of danger. There are only two men in the empty church, one old and one young, one dead and one life.
The fingers on the trigger trembled slightly, Gu Tie’s eyes slid over the wound on the writer’s chest, and the dagger accurately pierced the vertical projection line between the fifth intercostal space and the collarbone. That was the first heart sound of the doctor’s auscultation. The exact position of the heart, but perhaps Danda’s heart was born slightly deviated from the usual position. This is as precise as a surgical operation that did not immediately cost the old man’s life. Gu Tie didn’t know how long the old man had been sitting here with his injuries. Human life is like a clock hanging on a cliff and swaying in the wind, so fragile that it may fall to pieces at any time, and strong enough to survive a storm,
The full handle of the dagger plunged into the old man’s chest. The blade was not visible. There was no drop of blood flowing around the wound. The muscles contracted by pain embedded the steel firmly, and the dagger without blood grooves was like this and became a great writer. One, Gu Tie understands that in this case, it is difficult to pull out the dagger even with the strength of an adult. The handle of the dagger is wrapped with a white cloth strip and there is a decorative artificial pearl on the top. It belongs to the kind in every souvenir shop. I can’t see where the products are, but I can’t see where they are.
Suddenly there was a noise at the door, and the wooden door for the decoration workers was pushed open. Two construction workers walked in, talking and laughing. Gu Tie immediately knelt down and hid behind the backrest bench, looking around, the altar A wall next to it is undergoing surface repairs. The Chinese touched it and grabbed a handful of wall dust, blew it on the surface of the dagger handle, took out the phone and took a picture, and then used individual tactical transfer movements to quickly sneak towards the door. /
The sound of the camera caught the attention of the two workers. The taller one said something and walked towards the altar with the paint bucket in his hand. The other stood at the door, took out his mobile phone and started dialing. Gu Tie immediately Sticking behind a column, listening to the tall worker’s leather boots ticking past him, he turns away from his gaze, and moves forward silently by the scaffolding on the wall,
The tall worker should have seen Sigmund Danda’s back, and yelled something unpleasantly. It must be something like "Private entry is prohibited during construction." After a few seconds, he will see The face of the dead old man made a hysterical call and called the police, while Gu Tie was five steps away from the door. He hid behind the column containing Chopin’s heart, his right hand clenched the Glock pistol unconsciously, and the short worker stood there. Talking on the phone by the door, blocking the only way to escape,
At this moment, the text box in the upper right corner of the field of vision flashed twice, and it was back to normal, and the network connection was restored without warning. Before thinking about the reason, Gu Tie immediately logged into the Quantum Network to mobilize permissions and frantically searched for everything nearby. Available resources,
Five seconds later, the tall worker has walked to the first row of benches and reached out to touch Sigmund Danda’s shoulder. At this time, the sixteen fire sprinklers on the west side of the church were automatically activated. "Sneez..." The water mist descended all over the sky. In order to prevent water-based paint fires, an aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent based on hydrocarbon surfactants was added to the fire-fighting system during the construction period. White foam immediately surged in the air. , The visibility drops to zero instantly,
Two workers screamed and ran towards the wall being repaired because the fire extinguishing agent would ruin their murals, decorations and paint. The church door opened silently and closed silently. One in a black jacket The man flashed out of the Basilica of the Holy Cross quietly sideways, shaking the water droplets on his body, the surface of the jacket provided by the beard was treated with nano-water repellency, and the water droplets rolled off the smooth surface without leaving a trace.
Gu Tie combed his wet hair back, put on sunglasses, did not look back, and walked along the "Royal Road", just like many ordinary tourists, he was holding a travel guide , Stop and go, stop at the scenic spots, take photos with your mobile phone, buy street food, greet the police happily, a small electric car with flashing police lights drove by quickly, and tourists exclaimed to make way for the police car. "Did something happen there?" Several tourists stared curiously in the direction of the Santa Croce Cathedral. A circle of onlookers had already appeared there. Gu Tie could guess without looking back, there were two soaked workers. Crazy drawing a cross in the crowd, pointing to the inside of the church and yelling,
He waited until he turned the corner and entered a secluded path, and when Gu Tie sat down on a bench in the shade of the tree and looked around, he breathed a sigh of relief and gradually calmed down his beating heart. His back is almost drenched in cold sweat. If the network connection is not restored, he may have to stun a worker or even use a pistol, and that will only bring worse results,
It’s not safe here. The Chinese dare not relax their vigilance, pretending to look down at the tourist map, and secretly mobilize the surrounding surveillance probes to observe the situation. Although no suspicious persons have been found, the repeated incidents have allowed him to detect this. The credibility of the result was doubtful. After a few minutes of rest, Gu Tie stood up and continued along the path. The sign showed that the road called Piekasca led to Mirdova Avenue, where you could leave. Old Town,
Where to go now, Gu Tie’s heart is messed up at the moment, he can’t figure out, Warsaw is not safe, no matter who murdered Zygmunt Danda, and who temporarily blocked his quantum network connection , The enemy has amazing energy. The best choice for yourself is to go far and fly high.
"Time is passing, and you will face a test. Before that day comes, you must protect yourself, because you are our only hope." The message of "father" delivered by the great writer before his death made Gu Tie fall into If this message did not come from adoptive father Brandon Bartholomew, could it be a message from a biological father he had never met? Who on earth is he? Why did he use such a costly method to convey a sentence? Meaningful information, who killed a respected messenger,
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and was almost hit by Gu Tie, who was walking quickly. The Chinese was crushed by his feet and naturally used the Baji Fist to "lift the cage and change steps", and he fell behind the uninvited guest when he was short. , The center of gravity was changed, and the squeeze and bump was naturally sent out. When he saw this man’s face clearly, Gu Tie stopped the offensive abruptly, and withdrew another one meter away, suffocating a recoil. His inner qi, a face flushed red,
The visitor is a eleven or twelve-year-old girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a white dress, with flickering long eyelashes, holding a bunch of tulips in her hands, and looking curiously at the man with a strange gesture and a hideous expression." Buy a bunch of flowers, sir." She looked at it for a few seconds and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't buy it." Gu Tie finally swallowed the **** saliva, raised his eyebrows, and cried out in Polish that was just displayed by the translation software: "walk carefully, little girl, not everyone is like I'm so kind." After I turned around, I wanted to leave,
"It's okay not to buy flowers, sir, a zloty, tell you a secret." The little girl tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "Just one zloty."
The Chinese had a splitting headache and waved their hands: "Today I have been exposed to too many secrets..."
"I insist, sir." The girl stared at him stubbornly. There was something unclear in her eyes. It was not what a twelve-year-old girl could have. Gu Tie was shocked and involuntarily bent down. , Passed a banknote in his left hand and put his ear to the girl’s mouth,
The blonde girl still wears a sweet smile, but the words softly spit out in her red lips have nothing to do with Sweetness: "Don't ask, follow me. They haven't been able to determine your identity, but it won't take too long. Without our help, you cannot get out of the ancient city of Warsaw."
Gu Tie didn’t show any surprised expression on his face. He straightened up, smiled and patted the girl’s head: “It turns out that’s the case, what a good boy, where is the bar you mentioned, it’s really beautiful Do my Russian aunts perform dances and have the best beer in the city."
"It's not far away, two blocks away, sir." The little girl showed an expression of excitement that was more real than real: "You are willing to go, great, I can accompany you over and take a taxi from here It only takes ten minutes to arrive, and the fare is only five zlotys."
The Chinese nodded with a smile: "Just listen to you, I have never taken a taxi."
The blonde girl leaped to the street and waved. Ten seconds later, a black carriage dragged by two chestnut horses appeared in front of her eyes. The wooden wheels stopped rolling, and the high carriage driver took off his hat: "Noon Okay, where to go, sir, and the beautiful lady."
"Grutzenskiy Bar, on Vaskiy Danash Road, do you know where it is." The girl asked with her face up,
"Lucky, I know, please get in the car." The coachman nodded and leaned forward to open the carriage door.
Following the little girl into the carriage, Gu Tie slandered, "Pretending to be too disrespectful, and the taxi will stop as soon as you reach out. It is impossible for this kind of TV drama plot to happen in reality", and silently Looking at this little loli, who is not like little loli, some details came into his eyes: lower hairline, unobtrusive pigmentation moles on the neck, nails smaller than normal, shorter ring fingers, The ring finger, which is much shorter than the index finger, means that the fourth metatarsal bone has brachydactyly. In connection with the previous details, there is no doubt that this innocent "little girl" is by no means an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, but a sick person. Adult women with Turner syndrome,
"Do you like Warsaw, uncle,,, can I call you uncle." The girl turned her head and smiled sweetly at Gu Tie,
