South Africa, on the border between Johannesburg and Pretoria, on a private estate.
With a remote control in his hand, Finch kept changing the channel, and now all the channels in South Africa, from private to government television, were broadcasting the news, and the content was the same.
A Chinese man is wanted in connection with the shooting of the Ponte apartment and the attack on the convoy two days ago.
Then Long Yun's ID photo appeared in the upper right corner of the TV, apparently obtained from the personal file left by Magnum Company when he was a mercenary, Long Yun cut his flat head, and there was still a trace of childishness on his face, but he looked deep-sighted, with a melancholy and depth that is rare for his peers.
"Damn" Finch threw away the remote control and pinched his eyebrows, now Long Yun is already an outlaw wanted by the entire South African police and military.
Ripples flashed on the screen, and the bell rang.
Finch looked up, and now it was an encrypted channel connected to the communication line, and instead of showing the number on the screen, a code flashed, apparently his old friend Harvey.
How is he Finch and Harvey on the phone not long ago, the man behind the i6 is now because of the American 9. 11 Time is very busy, I have already said that I don't care about the affairs of Sierra Leone, why did I suddenly contact myself again "Harvey, my old friend, I thought you had flown to Pakistan for an intelligence meeting, how could you still have time to contact me" Harvey's avatar appeared on the screen, and the old jazz looked tired and irritable.
"My God, Finch, why are there so many sudden situations these days" He vomited bitterly, put a stack of papers aside, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and leaned closer to the camera, "Something really happened over there in the Banana Islands." ” "Well, that's to be expected."
When Finch heard Harvey mention the Banana Islands, he suddenly came to his senses, "I guess the satellite didn't shoot the aurora, something happened to your ship."
"Yes, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's such a big spy ship, so advanced equipment and experienced naval officers and soldiers, it's gone without a trace."
Harvey looked helpless, "I guess it's related to the people of Atlantis, do you think the ghosts of the Restoration Society have come back to life?"
"It's not surprising, eleven years ago, you and I both knew what happened, on Spy Island."
Fincher sighed, "After World War II, the Restoration Society disappeared from the ground, and suddenly reappeared in the late eighties, and infiltrated the CIA and the U.S.
Department of Defense.
Later, after the Spy Island incident, we paid a huge price, Charlemagne's sacrifice of his life in exchange for a short ten years of stable time, old friend, I think it's time too. ” "You mean something about that language, it's true," Harvey's face changed slightly, "we're not ready yet." ” "History will never give us a chance to do it all over again because we weren't ready, old friends, you should be well aware of the millennia of agreement between us and humanity, and you have an obligation to help us, for your future."
"What a headache," Harvey leaned heavily in his leather chair, "The U.S. side is in a mess right now, the hawks are shouting that they want to send troops to Afghanistan, I have to rush to Pakistan, and have a meeting with the CIA and the Pakistani military intelligence service, I can't take care of the affairs on the African side." ” "You're like we're doing you a favor," Finch realized that Harvey was actually asking for help.
"The Ark Royal sent a large lynx to the waters of the Banana Islands to look for the spy ship that had an accident, but not only did it not find it, but it disappeared, and then a sea harrier disappeared."
"If I'm not mistaken, it must have disappeared when I was flying at low altitude, right?"
Finch's eyes flashed with a burning glow behind the lenses.
Harvey was stunned for a moment and said: "That's right, at first the pilot said that he couldn't see the situation below at high altitude, and the whole sea area was shrouded in a strange wave of light, and asked for a close observation at the landing altitude, but he quickly lost contact." ” "It's a huge barrier," Finch said, "The Atlanteans set up an enchantment, and no one knows what's in it." ” "The closest to the Banananas now is you and your men, so I want you to go and see for yourself, after all, dealing with the Atlanteans is your specialty, even if our military sends people, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of price and have no gain, so the secret will be easily exposed."
"Yes, I'm also interested in this enchantment, it's been a long time since the Atlantis Restoration Society has produced such a powerful character, and it can create such a big enchantment.
I think the boys and girls in the Operations Department must be very interested in knowing the truth of the matter. ” Harvey suddenly asked, "You don't go out yourself" "No, I'm old, opportunities should be given to young people, and they need to be trained."
Finch smiled, picked up a cigar from the table and lit it, "It's better for me to step back into the background for now." ” "Young people are good, but I've heard that pure-blooded knights like Neo have all touched the dust in Sierra Leone, and your half-bloods will not work."
Finch laughed and said, "Harvey, you should change your thinking, why and on what basis the Skylight Company was established, I think you know better than me."
Pure-bloods certainly have their advantages, but half-bloods are not without their own role. ” Harvey suddenly remembered something, and the strange light in his eyes appeared again, as if he was sitting behind a desk in Office 1 of Whitehall: "I heard that there are many unbelievable things in the waters of Freetown this time, there is a mercenary codenamed Ghost, that is, the kid you are recruiting the latest time, and a suzerain-level fire dragon has been attacked and severely injured the other party."
"You're really well-informed."
Finch's expression seemed to cool: "You're spying on us" "No, no, no, I just heard some news, hehe."
Harvey snorted and changed the subject: "But Finch, I want to remind you that you have to be optimistic about your men, this kid has made a lot of noise in South Africa, and now as far as I know, he is the most wanted man in South Africa, and he is a popular fried chicken." ” "I don't bother you with this layer, I'll look for you when you need help, just as I look for me when you need help."
Finch said: "I will immediately notify the company's logistics support department to come to South Africa, and then go out to the Banana Islands tomorrow morning, before this, you ask the military not to send planes over." ” "Okay, that's it."
The screen dimmed, and Finch held his chin and smoked his cigar, lost in thought.
After a few moments, he picked up the phone and dialed the channel of the Skydome Corp. headquarters.
"Lena, inform Christian that he will come to Johannesburg, South Africa, to see me at once."
"No problem."
Lena appeared on the big screen, made an OK gesture, and said, "Doctor, we have conducted a spectral analysis of the aurora near the Banana Islands, and proved that it is a very strange energy light, not an aurora, but a kind of colored light produced by the energy generated by the enchantment on the surface of the sea and the refraction of the nearby air. ” "Got it, I'll have people investigate, and you continue to monitor that area, no matter what method you use, try not to let the ship get close."
"Okay" Lena nodded, and asked again, "What grade of plane tickets does Professor Christian arrange?"
"There's no need to arrange it, just use the company's Gulfstream plane and fly over directly, the matter is urgent."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Lena hung up the communication, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes wide, and said, "I knew I could take a private jet, so I volunteered." ”:
