The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 88: Stranger Friends (Part 1)


Gu Tie lowered the muzzle, staring sharply at the three cracked bullet holes in the glass window. Did not hit. Intuition tells him that whether he is spying on an enemy or a friend, he is a tough guy to deal with.

Natalia heard the gunshots, shouted Gu Tie’s name and pushed open the bathroom door, "Iron, are you okay!" There was a small pistol in her hand, her index finger was placed on the trigger, and the safety was opened. , Ready to fire at any time.

Gu Tie shook his head: "It may be an illusion. Let's go out." He put a pistol into his trouser pocket and motioned to the hostess not to be so nervous. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and there were three groups of "Boom, Boom, Boom".

"Who?" Natalia walked slowly across the living room, her gun pointed at the door.

"Shiva's friend, madam." A man's voice answered politely, speaking English.

Gu Tie raised his finger and made a "wait one minute" gesture.

He turned around and ran back to the bedroom in two steps, grabbed the heavy Russian-made phased array satellite antenna, quickly connected the satellite link, half-closed his eyes, and landed on the "Genesis" terminal.

It took a few seconds and a capacity of 3ppm. Gu Tie found an idle "Quick Bird" low-Earth orbit civilian satellite and passed on the coordinates of the location. Immediately, thousands of satellite photos flowed through his sea of ​​knowledge like snow flakes. Gu Tie took a few seconds to write a simple program to identify the suspicious objects in the photo. Soon, the result appeared in the black sky of "Pure Land": centered on this mountain farm 45 kilometers away from Mozili City. , Within a radius of ten kilometers, there are no flying objects, armored vehicles, and small teams of more than two people. From the infrared photos, it can be seen that the organisms in the farm except for the hostess, Gu Tie, a dog and dozens of sheep Besides, there was only one lone visitor.

"Open the door, Natasha. Be careful." Gu Tie opened his eyes and said. It took him fifty-five seconds to complete all this.

Natalia hid the pistol behind her, opened a crack in the door, "Please indicate your identity."

The visitor laughed and said: "There are only two kinds of people that can be found here, madam, friend and enemy. The enemy will not ask you to open the door, they will knock on the door with bullets, just like the one who did just now. ."

The hostess turned her head to look at Gu Tie, and after getting a positive look, she opened the door.

Standing at the door is a middle-length Asian man wearing a beige trench coat, short hair, 30 to 40 years old, and deep crow's feet around his eyes. "Hello, Madam, please take care of the first meeting. Hello, Mr. Gu Tie. I am Hasegawa Kousaka." The visitor gave a half-bow that is characteristic of a Japanese.

"Hello,...Hasegawa?" Gu Tie nodded in greeting, unconsciously grabbed an apple on the dining table and tossed it around, "I seem to have heard of your name. When did the matter... "

"Two years ago, in Beijing, Mr. Barvindra was the introducer. You helped me obtain a batch of very important purification equipment. Our underground facility in Algeria would not be completed without your assistance. , Mr. Gu Tie." Hasegawa Kousaka answered with a smile, his eyes narrowed, looking like a gentle and harmless grocery store salesperson.

Gu Tie slapped his forehead: "What I said! You are a'madman' Hasegawa! I didn't see you in person last time. I didn't expect you to look like this, so deceptive!"

Hasegawa Koizaka laughed, and walked over to shake hands with Gu Tie warmly.

Natalia looked at the two men who were familiar with each other, her expression unconscious: "Breakfast is going to be cold."

Gu Tie embraced the Japanese shoulders affectionately: "Natasha, this guy is a real legend! Don't look at him as a Japanese-there is no other meaning."

"I am always proud of my quarter of Chinese ancestry." Hasegawa Kousaka smiled without a second thought.

"The most radical among the many radical organizations in ipu is called '100 Million Jade Shards.' I know it was formed by the Japanese. This guy is the leader of 100 Million Jade Shards, the'lunatic' Hasegawa. Natasha If you want to hear this guy’s crazy experience, I can’t finish it all night. In the past few years, gtc turned the Middle East and Africa upside down to find him.” Gu Tie opened the dining chair and let Hasegawa sit down. , I sat on the opposite side, and poured a cup of hot milk for the other party and myself.

"Cheers. It's the same as before, buddy." Gu Tie held up the glass.

"Cheers. I feel honored to see you. You are like a ghost. The whole ipu is said to have such a supernatural figure as you, but almost no one has seen you, and no one even knows about you. Name...I am sorry, is Gu Tie your real name?" Hasegawa said with a toast.

Gu Tie took a sip of milk and scratched his head: "Actually, I haven't deliberately done confidential work. It's so mysterious. As for, I stay at home all day, if it wasn't for the old man calling me, I haven't been out of the house for a long time."

Hasegawa smiled: "Of course, Mr. Iron." He put down the milk glass, there was no trace of wetness on his lips.

"Don't like drinking milk?" Gu Tie saw this little detail.

"Lactose intolerant. You know, Asians..." The lunatic Hasegawa smiled shyly.

The hostess sat on the side of the table and knocked on the plate with a fork: "I finished eating before the scrambled eggs became cold. I went to a women’s university. My nutrition teacher Yulia Kayankovska. The baby said that eating cold food for breakfast will ruin your stomach."

"Okay, let's have dinner." Gu Tie quickly grabbed the toast and spread a thick layer of butter. "Natasha, what is the baby of Kayan Widowka, is not your ethics teacher." What?"

The hostess glared at him.

Gu Tie buried his head to eat.

Hasegawa smiled and leaned back on the dining chair, and took out the cigarette case: "I ate before going out. Can I smoke, ma'am?"

Natalia looked at him, then at Gu Tie, nodding.

The Japanese lit a cigarette, took a deep sip, and said comfortably: "No matter what era, things that are harmful to the body are always the most charming."

Gu Tie raised his fork: "I can cite countless elegant people in the Jin Dynasty in China who were addicted to the art of yellow and white as an example, but after thinking about it, your country's ** industry seems to be more in line with your description."

Hasegawa smiled bitterly: "A very sharp testimony, Mr. Tie."

"I am one of the victims." Gu Tie happily put down his fork, "Wait, how did you know that I was here? The old man told you? Did the old man go back to Russia?"

Hasegawa Koizaka took out a delicate silver ashtray, opened it, and carefully knocked the ashes inside twice, "I'm dealing with some things in Minsk, and the subject convener of ipu in Minsk - that's A role similar to a coordinator-contacting all the ipu members who were in Minsk at the time to convey a very important message. I met Mr. Barvindra there. After the meeting, he told me that he had let the team members first Crossing the border and returning to Russia, I still have a little finishing work to do. I guessed at the time that the farce in Chernobyl was a good thing Shiva did."

"I guess." Gu Tie swallowed the food in his mouth, "because everyone asks if you did it, but the old man didn't ask, right?"

Hasegawa smiled and said: "I know Mr. Iron can guess it. I admire Shiva's courage, but I don't quite understand the purpose of doing so. Is it related to the blasting incident of the core route of East Asia in Malaysia? Between the ipu organizations Collaboration is very rare. If Shiva is to buy time for another team, the relationship between the two parties is extraordinary."

Gu Tie didn't say it was broken, "That's right. What did the old man say?"

"Mr. Barvindra said that he will also leave Belarus soon, and said that you are in a safe house near Mozyli and may need help. In this way, I took the night train from Minsk to Mozyli. , Arrived here early this morning. But it seems that you don't need much help." Hasegawa Kousaka pointed at the mistress secretly with his chin, and squeezed his eyes at Gu Tie.

"Fortunately, okay...Where are the 100 million jade players?" Gu Tie asked.

"Four people are in Minsk and the others are in their hometowns. Because of a fire in Pripyat Park, the Belarusian government announced that the country has entered a three-level alert. There are fewer people and less trouble." Hasegawa **** After taking a puff of smoke, he slowly sprayed out smoke and replied.

"How many years have you been smoking?" Gu Tie asked, sniffing.

Hasegawa was taken aback, "It's been more than ten years. I can't quit. Nicotine patch is a big lie."

"You don't smoke too much. It's a good habit, and it hurts less." Gu Tie held up the glass.

"Some people want me to die earlier, some people want me to live longer." Hasegawa smiled.

Natalia stood up, removed the remaining food and utensils, brewed a pot of fragrant black tea, and poured a cup for each of the two men.
