Chapter 527: 527
“No, you can’t . Not there . ”
“Are you still shy about it?”
“No, it’s just… Hnnh . Be more gentle . I’m bleeding . ”
“Don’t move about . It’s more difficult for me if you wiggle about . ”
“Take it out! Take it out!”
Long Bing sat on a chair in a roadside motel . Xia Lei was crouching at her feet, using tweezers to pull the splinters out cautiously . Long Bing’s voice filled him with certain thoughts, and he couldn’t help smiling wryly .
The television in the room had been playing a variety show, but it abruptly switched to an urgent news report . Mount Fuji appeared on the screen, in the background of Oshino Hakkao, and the reporter . Behind the reporter were several corpses .
“In the late hours of the evening last night, a fierce gunfight broke out in Oshino Hakkai . Several corpses were found in Oshino Hakkai, and in the mountain forest, and the body count has reached 38 . This is the most bloody incident to have happened after World War Two . According to the police’s initial investigations, a fraction of the bodies are of the local Yakuza, and there are also some corpses which seem to belong to some unknown military group . The situation is still being under investigation by the police, and we shall continue observing, to bring you the lastest updates…”
This news report caught Xia Lei and Long Bing’s attention, and both their gazes went to the screen, to look at what the camera captured .
The reporter entered Heart of Oshino, and came to the room where the gunfight had taken place . The camera panned the room – it was full of gouges in the wood, and there were blood stains . However, there was no Gu Kewen .
The reporter stood in the doorway and said, “According to eyewitnesses, the fiercest battle happened in this room . A woman had died in this room, but her body is now missing…”
Xia Lei wrinkled his brows . “Did Dark Mona take Gu Kewen’s body?”
Long Bing thought about the situation back then . “It should have been Dark Mona . We just don’t know why she would take Gu Kewen’s corpse . ”
“Hm . Could Gu Kewen still be alive?” Xia Lei had a mild suspicion, because Dark Mona would not take Gu Kewen’s body under normal circumstances . There was no advantage for her to do so .
“Impossible . I stabbed her heart with my knife . She can’t still be alive . If it wasn’t for Dark Mona pointing a gun at me, I would have stabbed her twice,” said Long Bing .
Xia Lei gave a laugh . “Is there a difference between you stabbing her once and stabbing her twice? I trust your capabilities . Gu Kewen must be dead . It looks like it could be for another reason . Never mind, she’s already dead so we don’t have to bother about this . Let’s continue . ”
Long Bing grabbed Xia Lei’s hand and stared straight at him . “What is the identity of the woman called Dark Mona? Why does she want to kill you?”
Xia Lei was silent . He was torn . He knew that Long Bing would ask him this sooner or later, and he needed to give her an explanation .
“Is it not convenient to tell me?” As an elite agent of Bureau 101, there was no way Long Bing would not have any suspicions, especially after what happened .
Xia Lei spoke . “She is part of the FA Organisation . ”
“FA Organisation?” Long Bing frowned . “I’ve heard of them . It’s an international group of free agents and very mysterious . That Dark Mona is one of them? What is her goal?”
Xia Lei laughed dryly . “Me . ” After a pause, he continued, “I actually made some discoveries in my research as the person in charge of the Alloy X Project . I am the only person who can interact with the alloy . It is a very unique alloy, and it stores a type of mysterious, very strong power . I am still unable to unravel the last bit of its mysteries but I believe that it will shake the world when this mystery is solved . ”
This was all Xia Lei could tell Long Bing, and the closest to the truth . There was no way he could tell Long Bing that he had taken AE capsules, and that his father, Xia Changhe, was an agent of the FA Organisation .
It was not all of the truth, but Long Bing understood something . Xia Lei was the only one who could interact with that ancient alloy, so he was the only one who could go to the treasure locations and study it . She did not find it strange that the CIA and the FA Organisation would want to capture Xia Lei alive .
“I remember you telling this before . You said that you could interact with the alloy, maybe because you had fixed the compass . It looks like what you said has some grounding now . ” Long Bing sighed . “And now that I think about it, I was the one who asked you to fix the compass . This is like fate, and it’s like we were meant to experience all of these . ”
Xia Lei felt a little guilty . He did not speak, but just made a soft grunt of agreement .
