Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is also one of the famous tourist destinations.
According to the information obtained by Roberts, a young man named Umberto Bruni was originally born in Italy. However, due to the early death of his father, he came to the Netherlands when his mother remarried. Later, his mother also passed away, leaving him alone.
People live.
In the eyes of many people who knew him, he was a dull and lonely, honest child with average academic performance, no friends, and it was unclear what his hobbies were, but no one would have thought that he would become a terrorist.
He is really a very kind child, and he often comes to visit me, an old woman who is ignored. He is withdrawn, and I was a little worried about it in the past, but I still didn’t expect that he must have been taught a bad way. He is still young.
, so you go astray
In a wooden house next to Bruni's former residence, in front of the two Roberts, an old woman sitting by the fireplace wiped away her tears and sighed.
According to the official account, Bruni is a terrorist lurking in the Netherlands, and Roberts is also an insider this time as a tabloid reporter.
Looking at the old woman in front of her, Wendy expressed her deep regret at the right time, while trying to get more information. Her eyes were filled with tears and her eye circles were red. People who didn't know would definitely think that she was overflowing with emotion.
, but only Roberts knew that this was just her disguise.
The partnership between the two has always been for Wendy to deal with interpersonal intelligence and other issues, while Roberts deals with combat issues. While Wendy is trying to get more information, Roberts is trying to reveal the truth.
Looking through the window at the original site of Bruni's house not far away
A dilapidated wooden house that has been reduced to ruins with traces of burning everywhere. It is said that this was caused by a violent explosion in the basement. In the basement the size of a football field, a large number of damaged electronic parts were found. It seems that they were once in the basement.
There used to be a huge server warehouse.
From a few months ago to the present, the area has been tightly cordoned off by the police, and there are even soldiers with live ammunition there to guard the place. In the eyes of Roberts and some thoughtful people, this level of force is far beyond the scope of dealing with terrorist attacks.
to such an extent that it seems more like trying to cover up some deep-seated secret.
This is no simple task.
In Roberts' mind, such an idea suddenly came into being. From the strange orders of the monastery to the tension at the national level and even the unusual atmosphere revealed in all the details, they were always warning Roberts that this matter was anything but ordinary.
.
He began to wonder whether he had inadvertently participated in an important vortex.
After searching in Amsterdam for several days, the two still found nothing. They only vaguely noticed that the hacker named Bruni finally went to the Americas across the ocean. It happened that there was not enough food at this time, so Wendy decided to go to the level with Roberts.
Buy some food at the market.
If Bruni went to America, where do you think he would hide?
Wendy pushed the shopping cart, casually throwing the items on the shelves into the shopping cart, and then asked Roberts behind her.
Roberts looked at the canned beef in front of him, pondered for a moment, put it back on the shelf, and then said.
If I were Bruni, I would choose a remote place to hide, preferably with no traffic and no information.
Both Wendy and Roberts clearly understand how easy it is to steal information in this world. In the past, they have used information such as item lists to successfully find the targets they are hunting for many times.
Television and phone calls can reveal your information.
A high degree of informatization has not only made people's lives more convenient, but also made the tentacles of prying eyes penetrate into every corner. Even if you don't use these, people need to eat and drink water, and as long as you try to go out for shopping, then
Information about your purchases will be captured.
In this modern society, the only way not to be discovered is to go to an extremely secluded and backward place, where travel depends on walking and talking and shouting. Only in such a place can one avoid being discovered to the greatest extent.
Indeed, as a top hacker, Bruni cannot understand this, but what if he didn't do this?
Wendy said, turning her head inexplicably to look at Roberts behind her.
Roberts stood there, pondering this possibility. As a top hacker, Bruni should of course be aware of the possibility of information leakage, but if it did not do so, what would it mean?
The fear of information leakage is due to the fear of unknown possibilities. What if he is not worried about the unknown?
Ah, I'm going to buy some things. You can take a stroll here first.
As if something suddenly occurred to her, Wendy said to Roberts.
What do you want to buy? Can't I go with you?
Roberts said casually.
However, Wendy was stunned for a moment, then smiled inexplicably, then walked up to her partner and whispered into his ear in a charming voice.
Some of the women's own belongings. What, are you interested in accompanying the lady?
Accompanied by the dark fragrance as the body approaches, the warm exhalation gently blows at Roberts' temples, which makes people feel inexplicably itchy.
Roberts turned his head subconsciously, only to see Wendy beside him gently lifting her somewhat disheveled hair, covering her mouth and looking at him with a smile. Her narrow smile seemed to be a successful prank.
Roberts frowned and looked at Wendy in front of him.
Then go on your own and come back quickly.
Wendy looked at Roberts carefully in front of her, as if she noticed something, the corners of her mouth curled up inexplicably, and she became a little proud, and then left in a happy step.
Looking at Wendy walking away, Roberts muttered.
How did this little girl learn this?
But I also have an inexplicable feeling that this little girl who used to run around me and call her "Brother Roberts" in a sweet voice seems to have really grown up and has her own little thoughts. Even I can't understand her.
The unknown secrets in your heart.
Shaking his head and ignoring it, Roberts walked around casually and unknowingly came to an area selling televisions.
Looking at the thin TVs showing TV entertainment programs on the big screens, Roberts looked carefully. There were no such clear and large TVs when he was a child, which made him feel a little emotional.
Technology develops really fast.
As he spoke, he tried to leave, but a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Yes, technology is developing really fast.
It was a clear female voice, extremely calm.
Inexplicable danger signals rose in his body. He turned his head suddenly and looked around. No one was there. There was no one in the area where TVs were sold. This market was almost close to closing time, so no one would come here at all.
Except for the TVs in front of me and the women shown on the TVs, there was nothing in the entire area.
woman?
Suddenly he looked at the dozen or so TV sets in front of him. They all showed the same picture. A golden woman was combing her hair. Roberts, who was not familiar with TV programs, could vaguely notice it.
, that seemed to be the famous entertainment host just now, and her eyes were undoubtedly looking at her.
What's wrong? Mr. Roberts, haven't you been trying to chase me?
On the TV, the golden woman spread her hands casually and said with a chuckle.
But Roberts did not show any surprise, but was unexpectedly calm. He frowned, no one knew his inner thoughts, and then took out a small scanner-like thing from his body and began to scan himself.
No, you are overthinking. There is no positioning device or eavesdropping device installed on you. There is nothing you want to find on this TV. Give up, it's nowhere.
It wasn't until Roberts started trying to check the TV that the golden woman in the TV shook her head and dissuaded Roberts from doing so.
呲
The hand that touched the TV suddenly felt a burst of electric stimulation, and the hand instinctively let go. With the emergence of the current, the image on the TV also shook, and the golden woman in the image shrugged helplessly.
If you could listen to the advice well, this wouldn't be the case.
After confirming that he really couldn't find anything, Roberts calmly asked the image on the TV.
Who are you?
You've guessed it, haven't you? I am the Uberto Bruni you are looking for.
But the information says you are a man.
It's just a modeling, such a simple thing.
Faced with Roberts' question, the golden woman couldn't help laughing.
As she spoke, the woman on the TV held a cigarette in her mouth, lit it, and then she exhaled a string of smoke deeply, showing a contented expression. Then her blue pupils glanced at Roberts in front of her, and sighed.
Poor Roberts, you still don't realize what kind of huge vortex you are involved in.
I'm a mercenary, I just need to complete my mission.
Roberts said calmly.
Although he looks calm on the surface, in fact he is already prepared to deal with any unexpected situation. He does not think that the target he is chasing suddenly comes to him just to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Does he want to beg for mercy from the Priory? Or does it mean something else?
Roberts is weighing the situation repeatedly in his mind, and estimates that dialogue would be most beneficial to the situation at this moment.
You don't understand anything at all. You are like the soldier in chess who is driven forward by the master to lure the opponent's knight to attack. You are a worthless cannon fodder, unaware that you are just a bait.
In the TV, Jin's woman sneered and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
But a soldier can become a queen, right?
Roberts calmly responded that in the international game of Go, soldiers cannot look back and can only keep moving forward, but the soldiers who reach the bottom can be promoted and become the most powerful piece on the board - the queen.
At the same time, where the woman on the TV couldn't see, his hand in his trouser pocket was quietly trying to press something.
I've said it before, if you could listen to the advice well, this wouldn't be the case.
Looking at Roberts in front of her, the golden woman on the TV sneered.
Suddenly, Roberts' hand inserted in his trouser pocket felt a sharp pain, and he had to pull out his hand, and took out a small object, a metal object whose outer shell was covered with a layer of black smoke under the stimulation of a strong electric current.
After the discharge restriction is lifted, even if it is just a small calling device, the current released instantly is still unexpectedly large, right, Roberts.
Looking at Roberts in front of her, the golden woman said.
Roberts looked at his hand. There were some tiny arc-shaped wounds. Although they were not serious, they made his hand numb for a while and he could no longer exert any force.
Can a soldier be promoted to a queen? Yes, that's exactly why I'm looking for you.
Looking at the woman on the TV in front of him, Roberts seemed to be able to feel the calmness and solemnity behind the female appearance.
What is your purpose in finding me?
Roberts asked calmly, not caring that his right hand was numb at the moment.
In Roberts' view, Bruni in front of him did have the ability to understand. Although he didn't know if it was a natural force, he was obviously not as harmless as the information said.
Please don't get me wrong, I actually have no ill intentions towards you. In fact, in my opinion, we should be companions.
As he said that, the golden woman on the TV looked at the man in front of her and continued.
Roberts was born in London, England on April 13, 1961. His parents died due to a vampire attack when he was 6 years old. He was later adopted by "Brother John", an organization affiliated with the Priory. With excellent training results, he became the son of "Brother John" when he became an adult.
A member who hates vampires extremely, accomplishes many tasks well, and is nicknamed "Iron Heart".
In June 1986, when he was 25 years old, he met Betty, an English-American, and fell in love with her. They gave birth to a daughter, Joan, in 1988. However, in the same year, Betty died at the hands of a vampire.
Brother', it has only gradually regained its former fame in the past ten years.
Listening to those words, Roberts' face remained unchanged. Only when the name Betty was mentioned, his eyebrows moved imperceptibly, and all of this was seen by the golden woman on the TV.
Mr. Roberts, I know that you have deep feelings for the Priory, but with all due respect, do you really think that the Priory is trustworthy now?
When mentioning the monastery, the golden woman inexplicably emphasized the word "now", as if she had some deep meaning.
Roberts frowned, wondering what Bruni meant.
What do you mean?
Mr. Roberts, I understand that it is extremely unrealistic for you to trust a person who has just been arrested by you, but please believe my sincerity. I have no ill intentions towards you. I always have feelings for you.
Great kindness, I always believe that we should be partners with the same interests. Although you may not understand it now, you will eventually understand what I mean.
On the TV, the golden woman said sincerely.
Roberts was noncommittal. He was still trying to find possible loopholes. Seeing that Roberts was indifferent in front of him, the golden woman sighed and then said.
Even if you don't think about you and me, you should still think about your daughter Joan.
Roberts' face gradually darkened.
What do you mean? Are you threatening me?
No, Mr. Roberts, I don't mean to threaten you, I just suggest that for the sake of your daughter, you should probably go to Boston to see your daughter now. Finally, be careful with Wendy, don't trust her.
The golden woman looked at Roberts, who looked gloomy, and suddenly said with a solemn expression.
Watch out for Wendy?
Before Roberts could react from his shock, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
Roberts, why don't you help me pick out these stockings?
Not far away, Wendy waved to Roberts and said, her voice deliberately pretending to be a daydream charm, which attracted several people not far away to look sideways.
When Wendy came closer, she naturally held Roberts' arm, as if she didn't notice that her plump breasts were squeezing Roberts' hand.
Did you just find something you want to sell?
Looking at the smiling Wendy beside him, Roberts wanted to tell Wendy what had just happened, but his words changed inexplicably.
No, nothing was found.
Then he glanced at the TV next to him. On the TV, the famous entertainment host was doing all kinds of exaggerated performances, trying his best to make the audience laugh. Everything that just happened seemed like a dream.
.
In addition to the arc-shaped wound on her hand, and the black smoke-covered beeper on the ground, she also had to explain some excuses such as the beeper was broken, so that Wendy could put a band-aid on Roberts.
Somewhere in New York, USA.
Watching the actions of Wendy and Roberts on the screen in front of him, Bruni subconsciously chewed his fingers. This habit represented the tension in his heart.
Before escaping from Amsterdam, he had to blow up the big computer in his basement and only took away the spare body. Therefore, due to limitations in computing power, Tiramisu could no longer completely monitor the entire world as he had done in the past.
Everywhere in the world, but enough to monitor most important areas.
Within these important areas, Tiramisu can take advantage of all suspicious people, so Bruni can feel at ease about his situation, because he knows what the agents and mercenaries who are searching for him are doing, and no one can
He unknowingly avoided the numerous surveillance cameras and arrived near Bruni.
Before escaping from Amsterdam, Bruni had already mapped out an emergency place where he should settle. Mrs. Melissa here was one of the people prepared by Bruni. Her character and habits had already been calculated by Bruni. Bruni understood
With Mrs. Melissa's character and habits, it would be difficult for her to reveal her traces.
But Bruni still maintains a high degree of vigilance in his heart, because the Priory is by no means that easy to deal with.
If that's all, I'm afraid he will be discovered sooner or later.
Now, he is an unknown world ruler who can secretly control the entire world; but in reality, any well-trained soldier can defeat him.
Now, he can only rely on Roberts.
Can a soldier also become a queen?
Looking at the screen in front of him, Bruni murmured.
As Bruni said, he had no ill intentions towards Roberts. He once dominated the entire world and knew countless secrets in the world. He was convinced that Roberts and himself were actually partners with the same interests. It was just that he hid many things from Roberts, just as
Why did he choose Roberts as his companion?
Priory
The tentacles of this ancient organization that has lasted for nearly two thousand years are intricately intertwined, but Bruni is by no means without the means to fight against them, just as why he was desperately hunted by the Priory because he knew something he shouldn't know.
In his hand he holds the code left by Leonardo da Vinci, the method to unlock the key to the world.
