shadow striker

[Would you like to give me a cup of coffee? 】

[When, of course! 】

[Maybe I should introduce myself to you.My name is Armand.I, Legra, and many people who have a passion for faith and love Catholicism often gather together on Sundays to tell each other their troubles, pray to God, and pray to God, just like relatives.And I am Legola's mentor. 】

After confirming that the group of people had entered the room where Novia was at this time, Lancer turned on the wiretapping function on the chip installed in Novia's mobile phone, and quietly leaned his back against the wall, Sitting in the believer's home temporarily expropriated by the Holy See.

Eight of the ten guards were sent out by Lanser to target the guards of the Knights Templar who were guarding around the house at this moment.

And the last two of the ten Vatican guards who followed Lancer to Turin listened to the conversation not far away with Lancer.

[Legra is a passionate and energetic child.He loves what he believes in.He is a leading figure in the younger generation of our group.Perhaps, he never mentioned this to you, but he was indeed an excellent young man who was revered by many people in the church.Oh, excuse me, it's just that I heard that you are also a devout Catholic? 】

【Yes, sir.I'm a Swiss from a Catholic canton in Switzerland.In my hometown, almost everyone my age is Catholic. 】

Lancer seemed to be the only one who discovered the subordinates sent by Allen before.After his eyes met those Central Europeans, they seemed to have already understood his identity, lowered their heads in a panic, and then retreated immediately.Although he was very wary of those people, his intuition told Lancer that those people were not the descendants of the Knights Templar.

Therefore, Lancer did not let the Vatican guards who came with him distract the guys who had already retreated.

When the conversation started, Lanser immediately ordered the eight guards to be divided into four groups to monitor the four Templar guards outside.As for himself, he took a long-range anesthesia gun with a large dose of anesthesia, loaded two anesthesias, and then leaned on the window sill, and checked through the scope that the last two people were disguised as ordinary passers-by, and they were guarding the temple nearby. Guard of the Knights.

[So, do you know the Knights Templar, kid? 】

[The Knights Templar?Of course I know, sir.They are the former guardians of the holy city, brave and respected. 】

[Yes, they are brave and respected.They used to be the most glorious and powerful of the three major knight orders, but they were persecuted by the Holy See they were loyal to, and almost all members died in cruel torture and burning. 】

The bug was simultaneously recorded while transmitting back the conversations taking place in that house.

As Lancer hoped, it became evidence that Novia was innocent.

At this time, the two guards who stayed here with Lancer and closely monitored the situation of the house will also testify Novia's innocence with him.

[Maybe I should say sorry to you, kid.Because I had to bring you such sad news in the new year.Your husband, Legola, is dead.He died on the night of Christmas Eve for his belief. 】

When Novia gasped in disbelief and came back from the listening device, Lancer said "action" on their radio channel.

Another duel between the Holy See and the Knights Templar, which was originally loyal to it, began.

Following Lancer's order, the four groups of guards who had been dispatched attacked the four Templar guards from the dark.As for Lancer himself, he pulled the trigger when the deliberately long breathing sounded.With the first shot, he hit the target's exposed side neck.With the second shot, he hit the back of the hand of the target man who was not wearing gloves and had just pulled a cigarette from his coat pocket to light himself.

When Lancer confirmed through the scope that both of his shots were effective hits, he put down the tranquilizer gun, put on his coat, covered the four pistols tied around his waist, and walked out of the house.The two guards who were standing by his side at any time were also behind him, walked out of the house together, and walked towards the house where Novia and the senior mentor of the Knights Templar were.

[The first group of operations is completed and the arrest has been achieved. 】

[The fourth group's operation is completed and the arrest has been achieved. 】

The voice of his Swiss companion came from Lancer's communication headset, with heavy gasps and a hint of excitement that could not be concealed.When the two guards behind him smiled, Lancer's expression remained calm.Walking another 50 meters away, when Lancer could already see the commotion in a small area caused by two Knights Templar guards who were paralyzed to the ground with tranquilizer guns, the two guards who followed Tacitly walked towards the two fallen Knights Templar guards.

But at this moment, there were more than one gunshots not far away...

Hearing the gunshots, Armand, who was sitting in the room with Novia, suddenly raised his head, stood up with a trace of panic, looked out the window, and began to call the communicator he was carrying with him through the communicator hidden in his collar. Six guards came, but only one answered him:

"Sir, we've been attacked!! It's the Swiss!!!"

What ended that shout was a sudden cry of pain.It was so abrupt in Armand's ears, so abrupt that he couldn't arrange it for anyone according to the plan he said earlier.In an emergency, Armand pressed a series of complicated numbers on his mobile phone, and then dialed the call button.

Almost at the same time, all members of the Knights Templar in Italy received the warning issued by him.

Still immersed in Armand's words, Novia, who was unwilling to believe anything, heard the shout from Armand's communicator, raised her head, and looked at the elder helplessly. .

Armand: "Son, does this room have a back door?"

Novia: "Sorry, there is no..."

Armand: "Then break out from the front door! Our people have been attacked, it's very dangerous here now!!"

Novia: "What... what...?"

Armand: "If we can rush into the crowd, we'll be safe!"

Armand, who said those words, did not explain too much to Novia, but grabbed Novia's arm, opened the door of the house, and rushed to Outside, he was hit in the thigh by a bullet fired by Lancer just a few steps away.

At the moment when the gunshot rang out, Novia instinctively covered her ears and screamed, then knelt and sat on the ground, looking in disbelief at the elder who was still talking to her just now. Hugged up in the snow, hugging her gunshot wounded leg in pain.I saw that Armand also drew the pistol from his belt, but before he raised the pistol, he was directly hit by Lancer's right arm holding the pistol with another shot.

After those two shots, Lancer approached quickly with a blank face, and Novia, who finally saw the person coming, couldn't believe his eyes.

That was her childhood sweetheart whom she hadn't seen for nine years. The boy she once admired had grown into an extraordinary handsome man.He was strong and calm, but at this moment, the gentle smile that filled Novia's entire girlhood was gone from his face.

"Lan... Lancer...?"

The man whose name was called just glanced at her, but didn't answer her.He walked up to the Templar Master who was lying in the snow, wanting to make sure that there was no other deadly weapon on him.Sure enough, Lancer found a pistol from Armand's belt.At the gap where Lancer took out the pistol, Armand kicked the pistol that was knocked down by the opponent to the front of Novia with all his strength.

"Boy! Take it! Take that pistol!!"

Almost at the same time that Armand yelled that sentence, Novia picked up the pistol kicked in front of her tremblingly like a conditioned reflex, and held it tightly like being frightened.

"Good boy... good boy, now, shoot and kill this man!! He is the lackey of the Pope! It was him who brutally killed your husband on Christmas Eve!!"

When Yue Yihuang and his party arrived, what they saw... was that scene.

The beautiful woman, who was only two weeks away from her due date, knelt in the snow and held the pistol tightly, like her first love.

"Tell me! Tell me it's just a ridiculous lie!! Knights Templar, Christmas Eve, it's all a lie!! Legola is not dead at all!! He doesn't know any of you either !! He is just an ordinary bank clerk, why is he involved in these horrible things!!! You are all lying to me!!"

Seeing such a scene, Yue Yihuang, who wanted to rush over, was stopped by his partner, who hugged him tightly and covered his mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

Francisco could feel the man in his arms struggling hard, but this time... he couldn't make his shadow front do what he wanted.

Allen watched what happened not far away with cold eyes.Of course he knew how powerful that man was since he was able to become the Pope's bodyguard.However, it was that man, he was now in front of a weak pregnant woman, being pointed at with a gun by the other party, and he was indifferent.

After a long time, Lancer, whose lips seemed to have been frozen together by the cold wind, finally made a sound.

"I'm sorry, it's just... I can't lie to you, Novia."

The answer to Lancer was a deafening gunshot...

The woman whose nerves were so tense that she was on the verge of collapse pulled the trigger, but the fatal bullet did not envisage her girlhood lover.

She fired a bullet into the sky and collapsed into the snow crying.

Yue Yihuang who watched this scene helplessly didn't know what to do at such a time.He even forgot to struggle, and just looked at that helpless and unfortunate woman in a daze.

It was a beautiful, gentle, kind woman.

She should have a happy family.Not even long...she and her husband will have their first child.

But she could no longer see her husband who loved her deeply.Even the child didn't even have time to look at its father.

Yue Yihuang couldn't imagine what was waiting for this woman... what would happen next.

Lancer walked to Novia silently when she was helpless and in pain, took the pistol from her hand, and then covered her with his coat.The gentle movements are still the same as nine years ago.

"Sorry……"

Lancer expressed his apologies to the woman he had loved deeply but had blurred that love for a long time. He only apologized for the unchangeable misfortune that he caused... imprinted in the other person's life .

"sorry Sorry……"

Seeing Novia crying helplessly after being put on a coat by Lanser, Armand, who was covered with snow by two soldiers of the Vatican Pope's guard, could hardly believe the fact that all this had already been done.

"He killed your husband, Novia...why did you let him go..."

When the stunned Armand was dragged up by the two guards, he met Novia's tearful eyes...with fire-like hatred: "Lancer is the murderer, he shot and killed Legola, And you? You sent him to St. Petersburg Cathedral on Christmas Eve, when he should have been with his wife, on a mission that was sure to cost him his life? So...you too murderer!!"

[So... you are also a murderer! ! 】

[So... you are also a murderer! ! 】

[So... you are also a murderer! ! 】

That deep accusation seemed to hit Armand's heart, becoming an unforgettable demon for him.

The six Templar guards were escorted directly to the Holy See after that.Armand, who was shot in the thigh and arm, was sent to the hospital in Turin together with Novia.

Yes, together.

The woman, who was already close to giving birth, experienced such stimulation and showed signs of premature labor.

Lancer, who was in charge of staying behind, sent her to a nearby hospital.

Fortunately, Yue Yihuang and the others are also there, and the four big men can always send a pregnant woman in critical condition to the hospital.

The woman who was still ruddy yesterday afternoon and showing a motherly smile was pushed into the operating room with a pale complexion.

"Please, can you go back first? When this is over, I will tell you everything. Just now, please go back first?"

Seeing Lancer sitting alone at the door of the operating room, Yue Yihuang said to Francisco in a pleading tone.But this time, Prince Turin did not reject his shadow front.He put his hand on the back of Yue Yihuang's head, pressed a kiss on his forehead, and nodded.

"Okay, I promise you. I'll wait for you to come back, at your house, in your room."

Hearing this sentence, Yue Yihuang nodded with a smile, thanked the other party for his thoughtfulness, and then waved goodbye to the other party.Seeing that Francisco dragged Fazel who said "I still have something to say" and disappeared at the end of the corridor, Yue Yihuang walked up to Lancer and sat down.Outside the door of the operating room, the [operation in progress] light was on.

"I... I don't know how to comfort you."

Putting his eyes on his hands, Yue Yihuang actually realized that he didn't know how to look at the Swiss sitting next to him at this moment.

Although, he doesn't have a deep friendship with the other party.But he felt that he could understand this person's mood at this moment.He even felt that the other party was actually very similar to himself.It's just that... the Swiss is obviously more unfortunate.

Hearing Yue Yihuang's words, Lancer patted Yue Yihuang's shoulder without raising his head, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you very much... thank you for reaching out to me when I needed help the most. Thank you for fulfilling your promise and bringing Novia to Turin. Anyway, my heartfelt... thank you .”

At the end, Lancer raised his head, allowing the other party to see his red eyes at the moment.

During the long wait, Lancer told Yue Yihuang about his first love, about the happiest time when he and Novia were together.

"When she said that she would marry me when she grew up, I thought that would be the future for both of us. The picture of her wearing a wedding dress and being picked up by me, I have thought about it many times, many times... ..."

"When I left, everyone thought I was just enlisting to become a soldier in the Vatican Guard. But did you know that ordinary guards can't retire until they are 30 years old, but the bodyguards around the Pope only have to serve until they are 25 years old? years old. I want to surprise her."

"Originally this summer, I could finish my service, return to my hometown, and marry Novia. It's just a pity that she married someone else the year before last..."

"I don't know if I still love her. You can't keep in touch with her for a long time if the person you love is not around, maybe time is enough to heal the strongest love in the world. But if I say, I will someday Marry a girl and make her my wife, it must be Novia. But now, it is no longer possible..."

Listening to this, Yue Yihuang sighed and laughed at himself with Lancer, and then put his hands on each other's shoulders, sharing their feelings with each other at this time.

"I... can understand what it's like to love someone for nine years or even longer."

After a moment of silence, Yue Yihuang said these words in a slow tone, making the people around him turn their heads in surprise.

Lancer: "Are you...really sure?"

Yue Yihuang: "Yes. I am a problem child with puppy love. Maybe I have liked someone since I was ten years old, or earlier. At the beginning, it was his only reliance and my exclusive safe haven. .I don't think I can leave him."

Lancer: "Him?"

Yue Yihuang: "Yes, you heard me right. I... heard that Catholicism rejects homosexuality?"

Lancer: "But the Lord has made us respect other people's beliefs and choices."

Yue Yihuang: "Oh, I like what you said. I really want to drink to you for what you just said. I hope you don't just want to make me feel better."

Lancer: "You should believe that today's Catholicism is different from that of the Crusades. Now in Italy, [-]% of the people support homosexuality. But I believe that it is impossible for only [-]% of the Italians in Italy Catholic."

Yue Yihuang: "Well, if that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, I'll continue. I always thought... that when I grow up, I can stand at the same height as him. But the reality has made a big difference to me. In the past, I didn't have the guts to tell him that I liked him, I was afraid it would turn him off, and I couldn't even accept me standing by his side as a friend. I couldn't bear the fact that he would run away when he saw me eyes.

And I don't want my selfishness to change him and make him a poor ghost like me who can't tell others who his lover is.You should know that football's attitude towards homosexuality has never been tolerant enough.He should be happy and if anything can make him unhappy or depressed it must be that he didn't create goals this week.

But it wasn't until I came to Italy that I realized that I didn't even have the courage to tell people...we were the best scoring partner in the academy.Reality... can always be crueler than you expect. "

Lancer: "So, now? Has time healed your wounds?"

Yue Yihuang: "Maybe, when I think of him, the feeling is not as strong as when I first came to Italy. It's been a long time since I dreamed that I was lying naked with him."

At the end, Yue Yihuang said that sentence in a joking tone, and then he and Lancer laughed together.After a long time, Yue Yihuang smiled again and said:

"And now I feel... just looking at him with the eyes of wishing him happiness, all the time, it's not that difficult anymore. I think I should be able to do it."

When two Vatican guards guarded Armand after Armand's operation, a male doctor in a doctor's white robe stopped the two guards.Just as they turned their heads and walked towards the doctor, Allen, who had been going back and forth, gave the two guards a heavy blow to the back of the neck with a sharp movement.Then he grabbed the two guards who had fallen down, let them sit on the bench in the corridor, and put them in a sleeping posture.

The whole process was extremely quick. After finishing this, Allen smiled at the man dressed as a doctor, handed an envelope to the doctor, watched him enter the special care ward, and then left again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Armand. I don't know exactly what happened here. But a gentleman outside just handed me this envelope. He said he hoped I could give it to you."

Armand, who just woke up from anesthesia, opened the envelope and opened the letter paper, only to find that the names and home addresses of several current members of the Knights Templar were listed on it.

[Please do not disturb any innocent people involved in this incident, except the Holy See.Otherwise, the people mentioned in the above list, and many more of your companions will be obliterated.Don't try to doubt, don't try to try, it will cost in blood. 】

He squeezed the letter with his uninjured hand.The elder of the Knights Templar ended up swallowing it in his stomach.

At four o'clock in the morning, Novia successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and named the baby boy Legra, the same name as his father.Lancer tried to visit Novia in the ward, but was rejected by the other party.

Until the morning came, Lancer and two other guards took Armand, whose situation had improved, to the Vatican.

There, there are still too many things waiting for Lancer.That would be a tough battle no less than the operation the previous afternoon.

Fortunately, the eight guards who went back earlier had already made a statement to the Pope on his behalf.

When Lanser returns, he only needs to make some additions to these sorted out statements.

"I've listened to the guards' statements and the recordings. I believe the girl was kept in the dark and innocent. The killer who died on Christmas Eve did make the wrong choice, But obviously he's a good husband. But there's one thing I don't understand."

When Lancer returned to the Pope, Benedict XVII said such words.He turned around at the other end of the backlight and looked at his loyal guard, with a hint of thought-provoking meaning.

"Why did you order the operation to begin when that Templar Master told the girl of her husband's death?"

"Because only then can she be completely cleared of suspicion and proved innocent."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lancer calmly gave his answer.That made Benedict XVII take a deep breath, and then nodded slightly.

"Excuse me, it's just that if you want to find out more Templars, maybe we can start with these two people. They were in contact with the seven people arrested today, just a few days ago."

After a moment's absence, Lancer suddenly recalled and took out another document, but was rejected by Benedict XVII.

"No, there is no need. The Holy See's persecution of the Knights Templar was enough in the thirteenth century. I don't want to sow the seeds of hatred again in this era. I will have a good time with the mentor of the Knights Templar Talk, and send him back to his home. That's all for that matter..."

…………

In that hospital in Turin, Novia expressed her gratitude to Yue Yihuang, but she also revealed an undisguised alienation in those words of thanks.She said she would return to Lyon, France, with the baby, rather than her native country.And she will raise the children where she and her husband once lived together.

In this regard, Yue Yihuang expressed his respect and understanding for the choice made by Novia.

He left the hospital when the entire city of Turin was awake, but he encountered a speed shock on the way home in a slow car.

Yes, almost at the third intersection after Yue Yihuang drove away from the hospital, he was forced by two black cars coming from the left and the right.When he was about to turn left, a black car suddenly rushed out from his left and forced him to the right, but when Yue Yihuang was about to make a sharp turn to avoid it, it suddenly rushed up from his right a car.

Faced with such a situation, Yue Yihuang chose to brake suddenly, but the two cars reversed quickly, and behind him, another car approached, even catching up to his parking space from behind, even more warning-like. hit it.

Just like that, Yue Yihuang was forced by the three cars from the main road to the open space between two large buildings that few people visited.

I was sleepy because I didn't sleep all night, but I woke up completely after this series of thrilling car chases.The scene of the shooting that he saw in front of Natasha's house yesterday evening could not be restrained from appearing in his head, which made Yue Yihuang unwilling to get out of the car.However, two tall men had already stepped off one of the three cars and knocked on Yue Yihuang's window glass with their hands.

But Yue Yihuang didn't just lower the window glass like this, let alone open the car door. Instead, he stared at the three black cars, and the force of the other party knocking on his window glass became stronger and stronger. There was even a tendency to shatter the glass and drag him out of the car.But at this moment, Yue Yihuang slammed on the accelerator, bumped into two of the three cars, and rushed out in the direction where the sunlight came in.

Just as Yue Yihuang was about to rush out, another white Cadillac drove in from the direction he wanted to go, with a posture of... colliding two by two.When the sharp brake sound sounded, the white Cadillac stopped, and kept only a finger width away from the car Yue Yihuang was driving.

When Yue Yihuang saw who was driving that very high-profile Cadillac concept car, he smashed the steering wheel angrily, then opened the door and walked down, then walked over aggressively and opened the door of the Cadillac. Also pull it together.But he found that he couldn't pull it open at all, so he kicked the body of the car angrily, only to find that the door opened upwards like the wings of a bat.

Although he can't be said to be a country bumpkin among the world's top players, Yue Yihuang really felt that after being frightened by someone with a speeding car, and then seeing the perpetrator driving such a car and then opening the door upwards, it was indeed a complete act. Laughed at him completely.If he hadn't been convinced that he would not be able to beat the guy driving the car, Yue Yihuang might have really disregarded his image and scuffled into a ball with him.

"What are you trying to do again! Do you know that this is dangerous!!"

What answered him was a series of pleasant laughter belonging to adult males.

"Ah, listen to it, what an interesting thing. So baby Yihuang still has the word danger in his dictionary?"

Yes, the owner of the white Cadillac was none other than Alan who was with him last night but left without knowing when.Compared with Yue Yihuang who was very angry, Alan's state at this time can almost be described as a noble son on vacation.

"I thought that when you went to France to bring that woman back, you had already thought about what might happen to you. And I also thought that you should know that this action of yours would provoke you, What a dangerous organization. Well, I'm just giving you a drill in advance, why should you be angry?

Just imagine, the Torino sports newspaper will be crazy about this, because the Phantom Son of the Torino team will live every day as thrilling and exciting as if they are shooting an action movie, which saves them from having to work hard to arrange some whimsy Yes, stories that even they themselves don't quite believe.Like Francesco might move to Real Madrid?Of course, I'm not saying that there's nothing wrong with something like this actually happening. "

"What the hell are you trying to say!"

"Wow, you can talk so rudely. What a...surprise."

When Yue Yihuang realized how ridiculous his desire to argue with Alan was, he no longer tried to quarrel with Alan, but turned around and left, intending to hold back his full stomach Angry, go home and get a good night's sleep.But at this moment, Allen suddenly grabbed Yue Yihuang who was about to turn around and leave, bit his ear from behind, and said in an ambiguous tone:

"But I've settled that group of people for you, shouldn't you say something that pleases me?"

When he heard these words, Yue Yihuang turned to look at the other party in disbelief, that kind of undisguised surprise actually made Allen feel very good.He hugged Yue Yihuang, lowered his head and breathed gently the breath from the other's neck, and then laughed out loud.

"You still haven't tried making love to Francesco, am I right?"

When Allen said these words, Yue Yihuang froze as he expected.

"Oh, that guy has been chasing you for three years, and you still haven't let him eat. I should say... are you doing really well? Let me guess why you two haven't slept yet? Maybe Is it because... you don't think the two of you are the right size? Yes, it's possible, I remember his thing, it's 9.7 inches long, and it's thick. You use it there... can't swallow it ?You know Asians are tight there.So, you guys are platonic??

Oh no, this possibility is not very great, and Francisco's technology can completely solve this problem.Still, it doesn't sound like a total possibility.Maybe you could try kicking him and try it with me?I have 7.9 inches there, and the hardness and circumference are not good. Although this size is a little smaller than Francisco's, it is not bad among whites.I absolutely, absolutely can satisfy you. "

Yue Yihuang's angry and prickly state only subsided a little, and then he was so irritated by Alan that he completely lost his usual gentle appearance.He broke away from Allen suddenly, took a step back, two steps, and three steps, looking at the Czech nobleman who once dominated Central Europe.

Ever since Yue Yihuang understood Alan's true identity hidden under the aura of a movie actor, every time he saw him, he always had the illusion that he was in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs".

Alan fell in love with him so he took care of all the dangers for him?

Forgive him, Yue Yihuang will never, never believe such absurd things.

Seeing Yue Yihuang's alert face, Allen began to reflect on whether he had scared the other party too much.See, it was rare for me to seriously propose such a proposal to someone, but I got such a result.

"I heard from Fazel that when Francesco talked to him about you, he said that your face and body and voice are very criminal. And when you smile, you can make people feel warm and make people just I want to hold you in my arms, maybe it would be better to hold you in my arms all night. And the food you cook is still delicious. I was thinking, if Francisco took away the baby that he had guarded for three years, would he not be happy? Crying? That would be...would be fun. I thought it would be a good idea to use that to get back at him for not crying and begging me to have one last night with him after I broke up with him."

After saying this, Allen took three steps forward very quickly, and then supported Yue Yihuang's side face with one hand, and pressed slightly with his thumb on the corner of his lips, forcing him to open his mouth.Before the other party could react, Allen licked Yue Yihuang's upper lip with his tongue, then turned and left with a big smile.

"You owe me a great favor. Next time I invite you to be a guest star in my movie, remember not to refuse."

With that said, Alan and his subordinates left very quickly, leaving Yue Yihuang alone, which made him feel that he was being played like an idiot early in the morning.

Driving back the car with the bumper knocked off silently, Yue Yihuang suddenly felt that he really, really didn't want to see Francisco, who was one of Allen's ex-boyfriends, at this moment.
