Alexia gave each person a mobile phone card and 500 euros in cash, and explained a few things to take note of. For example, the toll highway in Switzerland required one to buy a ticket beforehand and stick it on the car window. In an emergency, dialing the first number saved in the mobile phone card was more effective than calling 112 for help. After choosing the car she wanted to use, she drove away. The keys were all in the car.
Fang Xiaogang was thinking about the purpose of such a comprehensive assessment. The prizes on the first day were already so generous. He really liked the necklace, especially since it was not made by any brand like Cartier or Bulgari, but it was unique and beautiful.
Choosing a car was definitely an important part of the assessment. Fang Xiaogang looked at the many cars in front of him and could not make up his mind. He wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. Xu Haoran, Sun Lingdong, and Gray were also considering it. At the same time, everyone installed their SIM cards and opened the map navigation. Everyone realized that it would take some time for the navigation to download the map of Europe.
Bian Kai took a step forward and casually opened the door of a car beside him. He rolled down the window and smiled at the others."I'm in a hurry to see the scenery here. See you at the finish line.”Then, he drove away. He probably hadn't started setting up the navigation system yet. He drove away in a yellow BMW Mini, which was very common in China.
"What's the place we're going to?”Fang Xiaogang asked Alexia.
"You can search Hapsberg or Eagle Castle.”she said.
Bian Kai's actions might have inspired Xu Haoran. He found a very ordinary-looking Volkswagen golf R and waved away.
The sick teenager also took action. He had his eyes on a Pagani Huayra in the distance and jogged all the way there. It seemed that his condition had improved a lot.
Fang Xiaogang wanted to drive the BMW i8, but he remembered the mountain road last night and decided to look for an SUV. When he was looking for a Toyota Land Cruiser, he saw a small green Suzuki Jiminy. He was delighted.
At this moment, Xiao Fuyun started the Mercedes-Benz S63 nearby. Xiao Gang smiled and said,""Jimny, good choice. See you at the finish line."
"Alright, be careful on the road." Fang Xiaogang waved at him.
"You too." He nodded and slowly started the car.
A loud engine sound came from the sick teenager's Pagani. The child drove so fast that the Fūjin drove away agilely and quickly in the parking lot.
After setting up the destination, the Chinese announcement of the map navigation came." 65.9 kilometers, estimated journey time is 52 minutes." Fang Xiaogang sat on the hard chassis and set off while swaying his body.
The car was also equipped with a small LCD screen, but he had never heard the songs from an unknown country. Fang Xiao had just opened half of the window. He was in a good mood listening to music under the morning sun in Switzerland.
Ten minutes later, the navigation prompted him to enter the A3 highway. He had to continue driving along this road for 50.4 kilometers. He suddenly remembered to call his wife.
He drove the car on the right side of the slow lane, but he couldn't dial the number directly. It seemed that he had to Baidu to find out how to make a long-distance call. He didn't dare to do such a complicated operation while driving. He paid attention to the occasional temporary parking of other cars by the roadside and finally understood that there was a reserved parking area on the highway.
" Calling a domestic phone in Switzerland." He searched for this on Baidu and the first thing that popped up was " How do I call China from Switzerland? - Poor Traveler Q A…
"International roaming? I've already used a Swiss card.”He realized that this was not the answer to his question, but he could try contacting her via WeChat or QQ using the Internet. However, his wife did not respond at all. She sent a message to Shirley on WeChat, but there was no reply.
He typed a message for his wife: "Hani, I'm currently on a business trip in Europe. I'm driving from Basel, Switzerland, to Hapburg.”He added," Take good care of yourself and eat well. I'll give you the check to buy some good food."”
After sending these two messages, he saw that there was still no reply from Shirley. Forget it, he put down his phone and set off again.
Music came from the car, blue sky, white clouds, green land, and the cold wind messed up her hair...
The destination, Schlossshabs *burg, was the castle where the Habus family originated. Friends who were familiar with history knew that this family had won the throne of half of Europe through marriage, and it was known as the Hapsberg Dynasty. Compared to the wars and killings in China and the political marriages that existed in name only, the European countries had won the thrones of the Holy Roman Empire, hundredarians, spain, deutschland, bohemia, naples, and other countries through the marriage of their sons and daughters. He ruled different countries, from the Holy Roman Empire in 1273 during the Southern Song Dynasty to the disintegration of the Austro-Hun Empire in 1918 during the Republic of China.
But today, the castle had become a restaurant.
Due to the slow driving speed, Fang Xiaogang's car only arrived at Hapsberg Town an hour later. His destination was the castle on the hillside. From the road at the foot of the mountain, the so-called castle was really inconspicuous. If it wasn't for the flag hanging on the wall, one would think that it was an abandoned second-rate factory.
They drove to the parking lot. There were many cars parked there. It was unknown if they belonged to other candidates or tourists. At least Pagani and S63 were here, and Bian Kai's Mini was here too.
Walking along the path to the castle, there was a mottled house with four or five stories high. Vegetables were planted on both sides of the path, like a farmhouse. The corners of the house finally had a feeling of a castle, with a concave bunker similar to the top of the tower.
The restaurant had set up many umbrellas for tourists and customers in the open space in front of the castle. Under the umbrellas, many familiar faces sat in the chairs. This included Guna and the other eight military-like members of the war team, as well as Mysterious Queen Yang Tian, who had shown them the photos of the prizes in the morning.
After sitting down with them, Guna brought a cup of coffee. Fang Xiaogang counted and saw that Sun Lingdong and Gray were not here yet.
Empress Xuan sat closest to them, even though her current appearance was slightly mediocre.
"Let's wait for the two of them. Let's chat for a while. One of them took an account on the way, and the other is buying a phone card in the small town below.”Empress Xuan crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned back in her chair as she spoke calmly.
Xu Haoran asked curiously,"I've already given you a phone card. Why do you still want to buy it?"”
"Because Gray was a technician, he realized that the SIM card we sent couldn't be used for international communication, whether it was the Internet or the signal network.”Empress Xuan said.
The six of them looked at each other. Fang Xiaogang asked,"Then how did our navigation update?”
"We have released a limited number of APP updates, and the map software is one of them. The other applications were basically useless, especially the communication type.”she said.
"Does that mean that we have lost our freedom?”Bian Kai asked.
Empress Xuan sat up straight and answered Bian Kai seriously,""People are born free, but they are bound by shackles. Do you feel that you've lost your freedom in the company's contact with everyone?”She asked everyone.
Except for Bian Kai, everyone else shook their heads. Xiao Fu Yun said," Since this is an assessment, these small measures are reasonable to prevent cheating. I can accept it."”
Fang Xiaogang felt that what he said made sense. He had taken so much money from the company, but he had not brought any returns to the company. If he followed the company's arrangements, even if his freedom was really limited for a while, as long as there was no personal danger, it did not matter. However, there were no cars or people following him along the way. Logically speaking, it should be the same for the others, so why was Yang Tian so clear about their every move?
As they spoke, Sun Lingdong and Gray appeared on the slope. They came over to greet Yang Tian and sat down like the other six. A different…female soldier served coffee.?
"Mr. Gray, you can't use the SIM card you bought yourself, right?”Empress Xuan asked.
Gray thought for a moment and asked,""Why didn't you tell us beforehand that we can't contact the outside world?”
Empress Xuan smiled and nodded.""We have indeed neglected this point. Everyone, just bear with it for a few days. If someone really couldn't accept it, they could withdraw from all the activities now. In that case, the company would terminate the contract and give them a ticket home.”
Empress Xuan swept her gaze around, and for a moment, none of the eight people spoke.
"Of course, the company doesn't want that to happen. As long as everyone can accept my negligence, I'll try my best to explain the rules of the event in detail to everyone in advance.”Mysterious Queen's move was first hard and then soft. Everyone also found a way out. At least they felt comfortable.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's go to the dining room. The dining room is in the room on the third floor of this building." She pointed at a window and said,""It's from this purple-patterned window.”
Everyone followed her finger and looked at the purple-patterned window. That direction was the direction of the sun. Today was a sunny day, and the sun was so bright that people could not open their eyes. When the eight of them looked in that direction, Fang Xiaogang suddenly felt as if his neck was stuck. He couldn't move, and his eyelids seemed to be locked. He couldn't close his eyes, and he couldn't help but look in that direction, at the sun.
This instant lock on her neck ended five seconds later when Mysterious Queen lowered her raised hand. Her neck and eyelids could move again. Fang Xiaogang sneezed uncontrollably, and Sun Lingdong sneezed as well. The others narrowed their eyes and turned around.
Xu Haoran couldn't help but ask,"What happened just now? It seemed like he suddenly had a stroke."”
Xiao Fu Yun also said,"It seems like he's possessed. He can't move."”
Mysterious Queen had already started walking towards the restaurant's door when she said,""Did you guys not sleep well? Come and see what you want to order.”
When everyone followed her in, Sun Lingdong patted Fang Xiaogang and said,""Hey, looks like we have the same genes.”
"What gene?" he asked.
"Didn't you sneeze when you saw the bright light? This was a gene that only about a quarter of people had. It was called the Photosensitive Sneeze.”Sun Lingdong said.
"So there's such a saying." This was the first time Fang Xiaogang had heard of it.
"This is also a disease." Sun Lingdong seemed to be interested in continuing.
"What illness?"
"autosomal-dominant compelling Helio-othalmic Outburst syndrome," he said.
Fang Xiaogang almost laughed out loud.”
"In Chinese, it's called autosomal-dominant hereditary obsessive-compulsive sun-eye activation syndrome.”he said.
"Wow, to think you can memorize it. And that string of gibberish…"
"I happened to have studied this problem.”They chatted as they walked into the restaurant.
When a flower blooms, the words are divided into two ends.
The three instructors of the Children's Palace brought more than ten children through the customs at the Ciampino Airport in Rome, Italy.
Although there were many musical instruments in their checked luggage, it was fortunate that there were no ethnic string events here, and there were no wild animal products such as erhu made of snakeskin entering the customs. Otherwise, there was a risk of being confiscated. But relatively speaking, the Italians were not as rigorous as the Germans. Of course, there were also online rumors that Germany fined Asians, especially Chinese, at customs to feed the influx of Middle Eastern refugees.
After leaving the airport, they asked the children to line up and wait for the bus. The children were very excited during the long flight. They didn't sleep much on the plane, but when they were about to get off the plane, they were not very energetic. Soon, the travel agency's bus arrived and took them to the Best Western Hotel Group's TorVergata branch in Rome, which was not far from the airport.
After the teachers had settled the Cheekin at the front desk, they were about to allocate rooms when they suddenly realized that a little girl with the surname Shen who was going to participate in the Class B piano competition had disappeared.
While the leading teacher was handling the cheekin, there were two other teachers gathered there. The young girl who had come to Italy under an imposter's name began to rummage through her luggage.
Her luggage was basically full of clothes. She rummaged through two pieces and stuffed them into her small bag. She also found the 300 Euros allowance that her parents had prepared for her, as well as the phone charging cable. After putting all these into a small bag, she told the child she was with to go to the toilet and left.
She walked out of the hotel through the side door, turned right, and walked three streets before entering a pizza shop. She skillfully ordered the dishes in Italian with a standard Roman accent, then sat down and waited.
At this moment, an old Fiat stopped at the entrance of the shop. A middle-aged man who was not well-dressed walked in. He was listless and had a messy beard. He first looked at the menu hesitantly, then ordered a pizza to go. When he sat on the chair beside the counter and waited, he noticed the Asian girl waiting alone. This was a rare situation. Asian tourists rarely came to this shop alone. This shop was not very famous and mainly made bread pizza. Only locals would come here to buy food.
When he looked at the little girl, the little girl looked back at him. Just as he was curious about the little girl's boldness, she took the initiative to smile at him and waved him over.
He casually sat opposite her and hesitated for a moment before asking,“Leiparlaitaliano?”(Do you speak Italian?)
"Sée Seiacortodisoldi?" the little girl answered with a smile.”(Yes, are you short of money?)
He widened his eyes in surprise and rubbed his left thumb under his nose, acting like a ruffian. He asked,"Little girl, what do you want to say?"
The little girl looked at the broken car outside the door and said,"I want to hire you to be my driver and take me somewhere.”
"Me? Where are you going?" he asked.
"Switzerland." she said.
"Are you kidding me? We have to take a plane there.”he said.
The girl lowered her voice and said," I lost my passport, so I need an adult to take me. It'll be more convenient on the way.”She paused and glanced at him before continuing,""It can also be safer."
"Find someone else. I don't have time.”he said.
"Fifty thousand euros. I'll pay ten thousand in advance." the little girl said softly but quickly.
"…" He looked at her and started to hesitate.
"You still have five seconds to consider.”She turned around and looked at the small door leading to the kitchen. At this moment, a male waiter in an apron was coming over with her order.
“Beneaffare.”He slammed the table and said hurriedly.
