June 7th, 2005, midnight.
Xia Zang Sheng never dreamed that after so many years, his life would be related to his father, Xia Qiao.
He had already promised Meng Chuhan that he would return to the country as soon as he was done with the matters here.
When he arrived at the Institute of Ancient Civilization at the University of Berlin, he was told that Professor Adrian had yet to come to work and had not contacted anyone.
Xia Zang Sheng suddenly felt a strange sense of foreboding. It was as if an inescapable intuition was deeply lingering in his heart. He decided to immediately head to the professor's residence.
As soon as he reached the university entrance, he saw Lin Yutong walking towards him in a pair of denim hot pants and a tight-fitting tank top. Before Lin Yutong could speak, Xia Zangsheng spoke first,"Tongtong, I have something urgent to see Professor Adrian. Wait for me at school. I have something to tell you when I come back.”
Without waiting for Lin Yutong's reply, he hurriedly got into a taxi and left.
Lin Yutong looked at Xia Zangsheng's nervous expression and was stunned. She then took out her phone from her bag and dialed a number.
"Will?" Lin Yutong asked after the call connected. Do you know what happened to Xia Zangsheng?”
After asking, there was a long listening session. "Alright, I understand." Lin Yutong hung up the phone and continued walking towards the teaching building.
Meanwhile, Xia Zangsheng, who was sitting in the taxi, kept urging the driver to drive faster while calling Professor Adrian's home phone, but the call couldn't get through.
Xia Zangsheng came to Professor Adrian's door, but just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly pulled his hand back. He suddenly sensed danger from inside.
Thus, Xia Zang Sheng took out a spare key from his pocket and slowly inserted it into the keyhole. He carefully opened the door without making a sound and secretly opened the door a little.
Through the crack in the door, he could see the living room. There were two long V-shaped couches inside, and there was a home theater in front of it. There was nothing unusual.
Xia Zangsheng knew that the right corner of the living room was the master bedroom, but it had been turned into a research room by Professor Adrian. On the right side of the door was the auxiliary bedroom, which had always been Professor Adrian's bedroom. Xia Zang Sheng bent down and quietly pushed open the door. When the door was opened to a certain extent, he rolled over and arrived in front of the guest bedroom's door. However, there seemed to be no abnormal reaction from the living room.
When he quietly pushed open the bedroom door, he was stunned for 0.1 seconds, because what he saw proved his strange sense of crisis.
Professor Darian's bedroom was a mess. The bed, drawers, and wardrobe were all rummaged through as if they had just been ransacked. "Something must have happened to Professor Adrian!”Xia Zangsheng's mind was spinning rapidly. There was no movement in the living room, so there shouldn't be anything in the kitchen or bathroom. The only thing left was the research lab.
Xia Zangsheng pulled out a pistol from a hidden compartment at the bottom of the bed. He knew that this was Professor Adrian's habit. It was said that this professor had participated in World War II as a soldier when he was young, so he had a sense of dependence on guns all his life.
He carefully walked out of the bedroom and approached the research room. At the same time, he also observed the kitchen and bathroom, but he didn't find anything unusual except for the closed door of the research room.
Xia Zang Sheng held the gun in his right hand and slowly opened the door of the research lab with his left hand. However, just as he opened the door to the point where an arm could fit in, a black shadow flashed past, and then a gust of wind blew over.
Xia Zang Sheng subconsciously leaned back, and a black object brushed past his face, bringing with it a strong wind that caused his face to hurt.
Xia Zang Sheng rolled on the ground and dodged the second attack. By the time the third gust of wind hit him, he had already been forced into a corner. Just as the shadow was about to attack him, Xia Zang Sheng quickly raised his gun. The shadow immediately wrapped around the barrel of the pistol, forming a seesaw posture. Xia Zang Sheng actually used the gun as a cold weapon to block the opponent's attack.
Xia Zangsheng was caught off guard by the opponent's series of sudden attacks. If it weren't for his experience in Japan, he would have been lying on the ground by now.
Xia Zang Sheng finally saw that the snake-like black shadow was a three-finger-wide black military belt. The belt itself was made of extremely tough rhinoceros skin, and both sides of the belt were filled with steel ingots. If someone was drawn, they could immediately tear off a piece of the belt along with the flesh.
Such a cruel attack made him burn with anger, and his chest suddenly burned with pain.
The person holding the belt was a tall blond man.
"Why would this guy appear at Professor Adrian's house? And this guy was so ruthless. Professor Adrian was probably dead by now!”Thinking of this, Xia Zang Sheng's anger burned once more, and he roared as he exerted strength in his hand. Clearly, the blond man hadn't expected Xia Zang Sheng to be so powerful. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
With a loud " pa ", the sturdy military belt was forcefully torn apart by the two men. The blond man's body couldn't help but fall backward and smash heavily into the wall. The gun in Xia Zang Sheng's hand also flew backward along with the belt due to inertia.
It was impossible to retrieve the gun, and Xia Zang Sheng had already noticed that the other party's reaction was extremely fast. After his body hit the wall and stopped, his right hand had already reached for the gun at his waist.
If he allowed his opponent to pull out his gun, Xia Zang Sheng would be dead for sure. In that instant, Xia Zang Sheng rolled forward, and as he did so, his left hand pulled out a hidden sword from his chest.
This was a small Tibetan saber that was only a finger long. It was a protective talisman that his father had given him back then. Its sharpness had already reached the point where it could cut through iron like mud.
The whole process only took two seconds. At this moment, Xia Zangsheng and the blond man didn't dare to move.
Xia Zangsheng's saber was pressed against the main artery of the opponent's neck from the bottom up. If he used even the slightest bit of force, the main artery would immediately be severed. However, the pistol in his right hand was also pointed at Xia Zangsheng's forehead. If the other party pulled the trigger, the bullet would immediately pierce through his head.
"Aiya, I really didn't expect Mr. Xia to be a top-notch expert! Looks like I underestimated you." The blond man spoke in perfect Chinese.
"Who exactly are you? What did you do to the professor?" Xia Zang Sheng also asked in Chinese. He was indeed shocked when the other party spoke in perfect Mandarin, but he still managed to calm his mind and not let his guard down. He knew that this was a life and death situation, and if he was not careful, he might give the other party an opportunity.
"You mean that old fellow? He should be dead by now, right? I cut the tendons in his legs and hands, and even cut his throat a little. How was it? Doesn't it sound great?" The blond man seemed very relaxed when he talked about these bloody acts.
Xia Zang Sheng's eyes turned red with anger as he gritted his teeth and cursed,"You lunatic! Why did you kill the professor? He's just an old man!"
"Hahaha, this old man deserves to die. He's a traitor! He's a sinner who betrayed us!" The blond man's laughter sounded strange because he wanted to laugh but was afraid that the knife on his neck would accidentally take his life if he moved too much!
Xia Zang Sheng realized this and sneered,"You only have two choices now. One is to die with me, and the other is to wait to be captured!”
The other party snorted disdainfully and said,"Why do you want me to surrender?"
"Because I called the police before I came. The police should be here soon! Perhaps they had already surrounded this place!”Xia Zang Sheng pretended to be relaxed. As long as the other party believed his words, he would have a certain psychological advantage.
Sure enough, when the other party heard that the police were coming, his expression immediately changed. Clearly, he believed Xia Zangsheng's words.
"Hurry up and surrender!" Xia Zang Sheng said coldly.
Unexpectedly, the other party's face suddenly regained its composure, and a smirk appeared on his face. He turned to the person behind Xia Zang Sheng and said,"Mike, kill him!"
Xia Zang Sheng had never thought that this guy would have accomplices, and he immediately knew that this stalemate was very disadvantageous to him. He immediately lowered his body and slid his forehead against the muzzle of the gun. The hidden sword in his hand also slashed down hatefully in order to kill the other party in one shot.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out, but it was the gun in the blond man's hand and not from behind him. The bullet whistled past his head with a scorching hot air. The opponent seemed to have been prepared for this. The moment the shot was fired, the person immediately fell to the side, and the cold blade brushed past his cheek.
The two of them were on the verge of death. If Xia Zang Sheng's body had sunk a second later, the bullet would have blown his head off. If the blond man had fallen a little too carelessly, the sharp Tibetan sword would have definitely cut off half of his head.
At the same time, Xia Zang Sheng was also impressed by the fact that his opponent wasn't just a wild and reckless martial artist. This was because he actually didn't have anyone backing him up. The reason why he shouted so loudly was to attack his heart so that he could seize the opportunity to counterattack.
As soon as Xia Zang Sheng fell to the ground, his body immediately bounced back up. At this time, the other party had just fallen down and had yet to get up, but he was already about to raise his gun and shoot. Xia Zang Sheng suddenly threw the sword in his hand. Although the other party dodged the sword in a flash of cold light, the gun in his hand was cut off by the incomparably sharp sword.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When the blond man saw that the gun was destroyed, he ran forward without stopping and actually broke out of the window.
When Xia Zang Sheng rushed to the window, he was stunned. This was the 25th floor, at least 100 meters above the ground. Jumping down like this was no different from suicide.
"We will meet again, Xia Zang Sheng!”The blond man shouted in Chinese as he fell. Then, something unexpected happened.
The guy suddenly shot out a rope with a flying claw into the opposite building and flew over. Then, the rope quickly retracted and pulled him up. Then, another rope shot out from his other hand. This guy used the rope like Spiderman and quickly reached the roof of a 60-story building opposite.
Five seconds later, Xia Zang Sheng saw a glider fly up from the roof of the opposite building and leave like a bird.
Xia Zangsheng only remembered Professor Adrian when he couldn't see the glider anymore.
Xia Zangsheng almost vomited when he pushed open the door of the research room. The entire research room was like a concentration camp during World War II, with blood and smashed objects all over the floor. Professor Darian was lying in a pool of blood. He was not human anymore. Just like what the guy said, the veins in his hands and feet were all cut, and his throat was also cut.
At Xia Zangsheng's feet was a book published in 1931," Prehistoric Civilization ", which was now dyed red with blood. Xia Zangsheng noticed that Professor Adrian had drawn a lot of things in the book, but they all looked very strange and incomprehensible.
Xia Zangsheng saw Professor Adrian's eyes widen in fear and anger, but he couldn't understand what the professor was trying to say.
June 7th, 2005, 3 p. m. The sky was as dark as death, and the bell of the cathedral rang.
