The water of the Tatton River was roaring. The couple whose faces were covered with black cloth on the riverside street did not continue to move forward, but faced off with the five people blocking the road ahead. Mr. Ferlinga and Miss Brown both took
He was holding a pistol, and the five people in front of him looked like urban gangsters.
"Is it someone you know this time?"
Mr. Albert, who was standing by the mailbox on the corner of another street that intersects with the street along the river, asked Shade. Shade squinted his eyes and looked:
"Although I know a group of dock gangsters, if I don't know these people, I can't possibly know everyone in this city."
The coroner made a little joke:
"I thought you could use it anytime, anywhere. Let's go. How about just using a pistol? Is your marksmanship good?"
"You can call me the sharpshooter."
Although the revolver issued by MI6 was a single-shot pistol, Shade still only used it. After three counts, the two of them rushed out of the fog together——
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three gunshots were fired. They were shot by Shade, Mr. Albert and Miss Brown who heard the gunshots. As the three gangsters fell to the ground, the other two immediately fired back. But
Since their numbers were no longer superior, except that Mr. Albert dodged a bullet, the return fire had no impact at all.
Bang! Bang!
After two more gunshots, only one of the five people was directly killed by Miss Brown. The other four people were seriously injured and fell to the ground. One of them was about to die.
Shade and Mr. Albert walked out of the fog. The latter looked at the five people on the ground, took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it, and the sharp whistle immediately echoed in the riverside streets.
"Police whistle?"
"There are still three people who have been saved. I don't want to cause trouble to my colleagues at the National Police Agency."
The coroner responded that as for Mr. Ferlinga and Miss Brown, they immediately greeted the two people walking towards them:
"Your Excellency the Devotee!"
Shade glanced at Mr. Albert, but the latter did not look at him:
"Didn't I tell you to hide and wait for me to find you? Why did you take the risk and escape?"
Miss Brown, whose arm was injured, lowered her head in shame:
"I'm sorry, sir, I wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that my old boss would find out so easily."
"I remember that you just said that having a card in your hand was troublesome, but you didn't say that there was any information."
Mr. Albert frowned again and Miss Brown pursed her lips and lowered her head even more:
"I'm really sorry, my past involves a lot of troublesome things."
"Guys, please leave here first and don't get blocked by the police."
Shade reminded, finally understanding that this matter was arranged this morning, but something unexpected happened midway.
So the group of four people quickly left the scene, with Mr. Albert, who was familiar with the local area, leading the way. Finally, they went down the street steps on the bank of the Taton River and arrived at the foot of the "Sigris Bridge" across the Taton River.
This bridge has a history of a hundred years, but due to the width of the bridge deck, it no longer meets the city's requirements, so the "Yuewan Bridge" was built further downstream.
The fog under the bridge was as thick as on the street, and Mr. Ferlinga, who finally saw Shade's disguised face clearly, finally asked hesitantly:
"Are you"
"Since Her Royal Highness Margaret is in Moon Bay, can't I be there?"
"It's really you!"
Mr. Feringa said in surprise, and Miss Brown, who was treating her wounds, immediately thanked her:
"You saved us the second time."
Without hesitation, he handed the suitcase in his hand directly to him:
"Here is evidence of bribes taken by local Gray Glove agents, collected by 'Bottom Fish' codenamed 'Clock'.
He bought a precious playing card from the businessman who was killed by the gang in a manor outside the city. His authenticity was unknown, but he was also targeted by Gray Gloves because of this transaction. Originally, Gray Gloves just wanted to use it.
The spy's reason was to kill him and take away the card, but after investigation, it was found that he was really from MI6, so there was no excuse anymore.
Before his death, 'Clock' gave me the cards that caused death and this box of secrets, and that's how today's events happened."
The former royal maid explained the whole story in a few words, and Shade asked curiously:
"I asked you to stay away from Delarion, not to go to Moon Bay and contact MI6. Why did you know the dead agent? Why did you agree to take these things that will cause big trouble?"
Mr. Ferlinga responded on behalf of his wife. After half a year of not seeing each other, the original mechanical engineer has become more mature:
"I also agree with Jane. It's not safe for us to hide all this time. That 'clock' happened to be trained in the same batch as her, so I asked her to get in touch so that she can find out the latest situation at any time."
"As for taking over the batch of documents, I admit that I was greedy. I thought that if I could return the documents to the Sixth Division, maybe the director would forgive me for defecting."
When Miss Brown said the last word, she also saw the look in Shade's eyes:
"I understand now that there was no turning back from the beginning."
"Isn't it great for you to live like this? No one is publicly wanted by any party. As long as you live a stable life, no one will cause trouble for you."
Shade was qualified to say this, because MI6 really never looked for Miss Brown who left Tobesk.
The couple also knew that their adventure was wrong, but they could not turn back time. Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen:
"Your Excellency, Devotee, I'm sorry that we deceived you."
"You didn't deceive me, you deceived all the companions who worked on this matter."
The coroner sighed:
"Next time you attend a rally, remember to apologize to everyone. Go back, Mrs. Fox is still waiting for you to go home. This matter is over now, and I will find a way to cover up your traces, just like what this gentleman said,
Let’s live peacefully in Yuewan.”
It is a bit ridiculous to say the word "stability" in today's Yuewan, but the couple thanked them again and left in a hurry. Shade looked at their backs and guessed if [Eternal Light] can continue to develop in the future.
, will definitely use some of Miss Brown’s intelligence and espionage skills.
The story of her and Mr. Feringa has not yet reached the stage of "the prince and the princess living happily together". She once again took a wrong step, and her life will never be completely peaceful after that.
Only Shade and Mr. Albert were left in the fog again. Shade looked at the suitcase in his hand, and the latter reminded:
"It only contains the information that caused this disaster. That card is not here."
He took out his notebook from his robe, and then handed the card inside it to Shade with its back facing up:
"They just said at first that they were being chased by someone looking for this card, so they gave this card to me. Well, I also deceived you. This card has been in my hand since half a month ago."
The thin playing cards were almost weightless. Shade, who thought he was used to big scenes, still felt his heartbeat speeding up slightly when he got this playing card.
He kept calm and turned the card over. On the card was a giant dragon looking up in front of the radiant light as if roaring. The dragon was different from any dragon Shade had ever seen. He could only use the word "ancient" or "ancient".
Simple adjectives like "powerful" and "divine" are used to describe your first impression.
Then he looked at the top of the card.
The upper right corner is marked with the number 5, and the upper left corner is the very familiar small symbol of "Star". Between the two, that is, in the center of the front of the card, there is a black vertical line drawn in a white circle.
Is the symbol of the "Original" series.
Then he moved his eyes to the bottom of the card, where there were a few lines of small words:
[After drawing this card and before suspending it, you can force your opponent to show all the cards in your hand at any stage; during the settlement stage when you have this card, if you blow the card, you can force your opponent's total points to be the same as your own. Two effects.
Only one type can be activated in the same round.】
Effect 1 is equivalent to letting the opponent reveal his cards, which is the same as the special rules of the [Big City Players Champion] series;
The second effect means that as long as you draw this card, you don't have to worry about losing the card. Even if you activate the second effect and you can't see the opponent's hole card, you can still take radical risks. After all, even if you blow the card, it will only be a draw.
"Light can see all things, and light can melt all things."
The coroner on the side summarized the characteristics of this card in simple words, and completed the final story of the card's dispersion in Moon Bay:
"The reason why the killed businessman who originally had three cards was killed was not only because of the greed of the gangsters. Those gangsters were brought in by Viscount Belgra."
"The 1850 Rockwood City Players champion?"
Shade asked, he and the other party even played cards.
"Yes, according to our investigation, Viscount Guerra is deeply involved with local underground casinos and the black market of Rhodes cards. Over the years, he has publicly announced that he is willing to bet on special cards with anyone, just to facilitate knowing the locations of more special cards, and then
Get those cards in various ways."
Mr. Albert's tone was very calm. They had been investigating these things before Shade came to Yuewan:
"The Viscount's real target is not the other two, but this [Creation of Light]. Don't worry, there are only three people who know what this card is: me, Miss Brown and Viscount Guerra. The Viscount is worried that the secret will be leaked and he himself
Can't get the card.
After the three cards escaped, the death of the MI6 agent was actually related to Viscount Guerra. But there is no need for MI6 to take revenge. I have already made arrangements. The Viscount will die tonight.
Too many people have died recently because of narcotics."
Shade was not interested in the death of the 1850 champion. He stood up the cards in his hand:
