Chapter 2444 [Creation of Light]
Chapter 2444 [Origin·Brightness]
The water of the Taton River roared, and the couple with their faces covered with black cloth on the riverside street did not continue to move forward, but confronted the five people blocking the road in front of them. Mr. Feringa and Miss Brown both had pistols, and the five people in front of them were obviously urban gangsters.
"Is this someone you know this time?"
Mr. Albert, who was standing at the mailbox on the corner of another street that intersects with the riverside street, asked Shad, who squinted his eyes and looked at it:
"Although I know a bunch of dock gangsters, I can't possibly know everyone in this city without knowing these guys."
The coroner made a little joke:
"I thought you had connections that you could use anytime, anywhere. So let's go ahead and just use a pistol. Are you a good shot?"
"You can call me a sharpshooter."
Although the revolver issued by MI6 is a single-shot pistol, Shade still only uses it. After counting down to three, the two rushed out of the fog together -
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three gunshots were fired by Shad, Mr. Albert, and Miss Brown who heard the gunshots. As the three gangsters fell to the ground, the other two immediately fired back. However, because they were outnumbered, except for Mr. Albert who dodged a bullet, the return fire had no effect at all.
Bang!Bang!
After two more gunshots, only one of the five people was killed directly by Miss Brown, and the other four fell to the ground seriously injured, and one of them was about to die.
Mr. Shad 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 hard. The sharp whistle immediately echoed in the riverside street.
"Sentry?"
"There are still three people who can be saved, and I don't want to cause trouble for my colleagues in the police department."
The coroner responded that Mr. Feringa and Miss Brown, upon seeing the two approaching, immediately greeted them:
"Your Excellency the Devout One!"
Chateau looked at M. Albert, who did not look at him.
"Didn't I tell you to hide and wait for me to find you? Why did you risk coming out?"
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 you just said that you had a card in your hand that was very troublesome, but you didn't mention the intelligence."
Mr. Albert frowned again, and Miss Brown pursed her lips and lowered her head even more:
"I'm so sorry, my past involves a lot of trouble."
"Everyone, please leave here first, don't get blocked by the police."
Xia De reminded him, and he understood that this matter was arranged this morning, but an accident happened in the middle.
So the group of four quickly left the scene, led by Mr. Albert, who was familiar with the local area, and finally went down the steps of the riverside street of the Taton River and came to the "Sigris Bridge" across the Taton River.
This bridge has a history of one hundred years, but due to the width of the bridge deck, it no longer meets the requirements of the city, so the "Yuewan Bridge" was built further downstream.
The fog under the bridge was as thick as that on the street, and Mr. Feringa, who finally saw Shade's disguised face clearly, finally asked hesitantly:
"Are you..."
"Since Her Highness Margaret is in Moon Bay, can't I be here too?"
"It's really you!"
Mr. Feringa said in surprise, and Miss Brown, who was treating his wounds, immediately thanked him:
"You saved us a second time."
Without hesitation, he handed the suitcase in his hand to him:
"Here is evidence of local gray glove agents accepting bribes, collected by 'Bottom Fish' codenamed 'Clock'.
He bought a valuable playing card from the businessman who was killed by the gangsters at a manor outside the city, but he was also targeted by the Gray Gloves because of this transaction. Originally, the Gray Gloves just wanted to kill him and take the card on the pretext of being a spy, but after investigation, they found that he was really a member of MI6, so they didn't even need an excuse.
Before he died, the Clock gave me the cards that brought death and this box of secrets, and that’s how things turned out today.”
The former royal maid briefly explained the whole story, and Shade asked curiously:
"I told you to stay away from Delarion, not to go to Moon Bay and contact MI6 again. Why do you know the dead agent? Why did you agree to take these things that will cause big trouble?"
Mr. Feringa responded on behalf of his wife, saying that after six months of absence, the former mechanical engineer had become more mature:
"I agree with Jane. It's not safe for us to hide all the time. The 'clock' happened to be in the same training batch as her, so I asked her to contact him so that she can get the latest information at any time."
"As for taking over the documents, I admit that I was greedy. I thought that if I could return the documents to the Sixth Division, perhaps the director would forgive my defection."
When Miss Brown said the last word, she also saw the look in Shade's eyes:
"I understand now that there is no turning back from the beginning."
"Isn't it good for you to live like this? No one is openly wanted for you. As long as you live peacefully, no one will cause trouble for you."
Shad was qualified to say this because MI6 really never looked for Miss Brown after she left Tobesk.
The couple knew that their adventure was wrong, but time cannot be reversed. Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur:
"Sir, we are sorry that we deceived you."
"You didn't just deceive me, you deceived all my companions who worked hard for this matter."
The coroner sighed:
"Next time you attend a rally, remember to apologize to everyone. Go back, Mrs. Fox is waiting for you to come home. This matter ends here. I will find a way to cover up your traces. Just like this gentleman said, live a stable life in Yuewan."
It was a bit ridiculous to say the word "stable" in Yuewan today, but the couple thanked them again and left in a hurry. Looking at their backs, Xia De guessed that if [Eternal Light] could continue to develop in the future, it would definitely rely on some of the intelligence and spy skills that Miss Brown had.
Her story with Mr. Feringa had not yet reached the point where "the prince and princess lived happily together". She took another wrong step, and her life would never be completely peaceful from then on.
Only Shade and Mr. Albert were left in the fog. Shade looked at the suitcase in his hand, and Mr. Albert reminded him:
"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 to Shade with the back facing up:
"At first they just said they were being chased by someone looking for this card, so they gave me this card. Well, I also lied to you. This card has been in my hands for half a month."
The thin card was almost weightless. Xia De, who thought he was used to big scenes, still felt his heartbeat slightly quickened when he got the card.
He remained calm and turned the card over. On the card, a giant dragon was 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 describe his first impression with simple adjectives such as "ancient", "powerful" and "sacred".
Then he looked up at the card.
There is a number 5 in the upper right corner and a familiar "star" logo in the upper left corner. Between the two, in the center of the upper front of the card, there is a black vertical line in a white circle, which is the logo of the "Original" series.
Then he moved his eyes to the bottom of the card, where there were a few lines of small words:
[At any stage after drawing this card and before the card is suspended, you can force your opponent to show all the cards in his hand; in the settlement stage with this card, if you explode, you can force your opponent's total points to be the same as your total points. Only one of the two effects can be activated in the same round. 】
Effect 1 is equivalent to showing your opponent's cards, which is the same as the special rules of the [Big City Players Champion] series;
Effect 2 is equivalent to drawing this card without worrying about losing. Even if you can't see the opponent's hole cards when you activate effect 2, you can still take radical risks, after all, even if you lose, it's just a draw.
"Light can see everything, and light can melt everything."
The coroner at the side summarized the characteristics of this card in simple words and completed the final story of this card's exile in Moon Bay:
"The businessman who originally had three cards was killed not only because of the greed of the gangsters. Those gangsters were hired by Viscount Belgra."
"The champion of the 1850 Rockwood 'Big City Players'?"
asked Shad, with whom he had even played cards.
"Yes, according to our investigation, Viscount Gra is deeply involved with the local underground casinos and the Rhodes black market. He has publicly announced his willingness to gamble with anyone for special cards over the years just to find out the locations of more special cards and then get them in various ways."
Mr. Albert's tone was very calm. They had already been investigating these things before Shade came to Yuewan:
"The Viscount's real target is not the other two cards, but this [Origin·Light]. Don't worry, the only people who know what this card is are me, Miss Brown, and Viscount Gra. The Viscount is worried that the secret will be leaked, so he can't get the card himself.
After the three cards were lost, the death of the MI6 agent was actually related to Viscount Gra. But there is no need for MI6 to retaliate. I have made arrangements. The Viscount will die from ricin tonight. Too many people have died because of him recently. "
Shade showed no interest in the death of the 1850 champion. He held up the cards in his hand:
"Will you give me this card?"
