In the car, Truto hung up the phone, looking gloomy.
He knew he had no choice but to drive along.
He didn't drive very fast, he just drove so slowly until he stopped behind a remote apartment building.
Truto got out of the car and showed his ID to the apartment manager. The other person's expression became obviously serious: "What happened?"
Truto waved his hand: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Activate the safe house immediately and leave here."
The manager nodded and quickly took out a key from below: "The password is 324836."
He said and left in a hurry.
Truto walked down the corridor with the key, opened a door, entered the house and moved an ornament on the desk. The bookshelves on the wall moved to both sides, revealing a metal secret door.
Truto quickly entered the password and the secret door opened.
Truto entered and closed the door again.
But after thinking about it, he didn't close the door completely, but left a crack.
Looking at the gap, Truto entered the house.
He took off his coat, threw it aside casually, opened a bottle of red wine for himself, and then sat numbly on the sofa.
He turned his back to the door and didn't turn on the light, leaving himself in darkness.
After a while, the door made a soft noise.
Truto held the wine glass and said to himself: "You are here."
no respond.
Truto said: "That door weighs 120 kilograms and the wind cannot blow it."
"Besides, there's no wind."
Zhuo Junyan's figure walked out from behind the sofa.
He came out of the darkness, and when he appeared, Truto felt as if he had seen light.
He looked at Zhuo Junyan blankly and said, "It turns out you don't have any scars."
"New life, new image." Zhuo Junyan took the bottle from Trutto, took a wine glass and filled it with wine.
Then he sat down on the sofa opposite Truto: "I was still wondering why they could find you so quickly. Now I understand... they plan to use you as bait."
Truto smiled bitterly: "But I guess they didn't expect you to move so quickly... They didn't even have time to prepare to deceive me."
"Underestimating others is an instinct. They underestimated me and they underestimated you." Zhuo Junyan chuckled: "But I still don't understand. This should be the CIA's safe house, right? How can you be sure that they don't know you are there?
here?"
Truto shook his head: "Do you think the CIA is handling your matter?"
Zhuo Junyan was slightly startled: "Not the CIA?"
Truto shook his head again: "Everyone has multiple identities and multiple incomes. I am the CIA, but it does not mean that my current actions are serving them. In the same way, it is not the CIA that is chasing you, it does not mean that your opponents
It’s easy to deal with.”
"Wow, your logic skills are pretty good." Zhuo Junyan lit a cigarette for himself: "Let me guess, I will spare your life and you tell me what I want to know. Is this an exchange?"
"No. This is not enough." Truto came over and said, "I can tell you what I know, but you must save me."
"You are still alive now."
"They will soon know that you and I have met, and they will never accept betrayal."
"Then run away and go to another country."
"It's useless, their power is spread all over the world. And I have a wife and children. I can't run away!" Truto said: "After I see you, I will go to see them. I am sure that they will not kill you."
Kill me, but I need you to save my family! If you can...save me too."
"Sounds like a lot of trouble. You don't even know where you're going to be."
"If you are really as strong as they say, then you can find me if you pursue the truth. And when you find me, maybe I already know more." Truto said seriously.
Looking at Truto, Zhuo Junyan smiled.
He nodded: "Interesting, if you can hold on for that long."
"What did you say?"
Looking at Truto's puzzled expression, Zhuo Junyan sighed: "So you don't know the secret of the metal block, right? If you knew, you wouldn't ask me the question just now."
Truto opened his mouth wide.
After a while, he said: "There is a legend. In the legend, there is a metal block that has the power to break through hell. If the holder goes there, he can obtain the terrifying power given by the devil, but it will also bring about destruction.
The hellfire of the world.”
Well, this is totally different from what Albert said.
Zhuo Junyan shook his finger: "Do you know the key to the problem? The key is not whether the legend is true. But if it is true, then why didn't the early people who owned it use it!"
"Because the brotherhood doesn't allow it!" Truto replied seriously.
"Brotherhood?" Zhuo Junyan was stunned.
The legendary assassin organization?
Truto nodded: "Yes, it really exists, but it is different from the legend. The Brotherhood has existed for about seven or eight hundred years. Since their existence, they have been on a mission... to hunt down the owners of all metal blocks! They
They say it is the devil's magic weapon and will destroy our world. This is their belief!"
Zhuo Junyan smiled and said: "Faith is indeed a good way to solve the previous problem. But this statement has created two new problems. First, if the holder has the power of the devil, how can a group of mortals assassinate such a being? Second,
, why not destroy it? Even if it cannot be destroyed, it can be broken down and thrown into the sea."
Truto shook his head: "That's not something I can know, it's the answer you need to find. But if the legend is true, you'd better believe me, the Brotherhood must have the ability to kill you!"
Zhuo Junyan smiled slightly: "No, you are wrong. Anyone has the ability to kill me! The devil's power is not invincible, but the devil is absolutely cunning. The point is not that they can kill me, but how they find me
.”
As he spoke, Zhuo Junyan looked at Truto: "It seems that using you as bait means that they don't have special searching abilities. This is really interesting and contradictory."
Truto was helpless: "What I know is limited, but if you can rescue me, I will definitely know more."
Zhuo Junyan spread his hands: "Let's talk about other things you know first. For example, why the metal blocks were broken down into several families. If they don't want the metal blocks to reappear, then why would the Li family go and collect the metal blocks again."
Truto shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know this either. But at least on this issue, you have clear clues to pursue."
At this point, the families that have traded with each other are the most obvious clues.
