The house was quiet for a long time.
Qin Hai and Hua Jiu’er were patient and did not rush, only after waiting for a while, there was a sound of gunfire in the distance, Hua Jiu’er looked over and asked worriedly, “Are they catching up?”
“It’s almost time.” Qin Hai Hai took a glance at the time.
At that moment, the door to the house opened.
Crowe’s face leaked out, and after seeing Qin Hai, he became excited and said, “Orson, oh my god, you’re finally here.”
“Had a few minor twists and turns.” Qin Dahai gave a light laugh and said, “You seem to be injured?”
Crowe said, “I’m fine, come in first!”
Welcoming Qin Hai and Hua Jiu’er in, this Crowe was stunned when he saw Hua Jiu’er and looked at Qin Hai in confusion, after all, he knew Hua Jiu’er as Anna after her disguise, now that Hua Jiu’er had regained her original appearance, he naturally did not recognise her.
“When one is in the jianghu, one always needs to do some disguise.” Qin Dahai explained.
“Anna?” Crowe looked at Hua Jiu’er in confusion.
Hua Jiu’er laughed, “What? Don’t recognise?”
“Oh my, your disguises, simply.” Crowe was astonished beyond belief and said, “I really didn’t see it at all.”
“Alright, alright.” Qin Hai waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about this little thing, what happened on the ground? Where is Linda?”
Kero gave a bitter laugh, then led Qin Hai and Hua Jiu’er towards the back door, after going around a crowded alleyway, only then did he reach a more hidden room, as soon as he opened the door, the smell of disinfectant water just hit his nose, and inside the room, Linda was lying unconscious on the bed, while at the side was a man in his forties.
“Rhett, you go ahead and get out.” Crowe gestured to the man.
The man who had changed into Rett swept a glance at the two of them, Qin Hai, then nodded and withdrew from the room as Crowe said, “Rett is my friend, if it wasn’t for him, I’m afraid Linda and I wouldn’t have been able to see you guys anymore.”
Said the man.
He walked over to the bedside and looked at the unconscious Linda, a flash of pain passed through his eyes.
Hua Jiu’er walked up and took a look, then took her pulse and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not life-threatening, just too much blood loss, just recuperate at ease for a while.”
Kero nodded.
“Well, tell me about it.” Qin Dahai then sat aside, looked at Crowe and said, “Who the hell are you people.”
Crowe took a deep breath and sat on the chair next to the bed, looking at the unconscious Linda, he looked at the two of them and said, “Do you believe in God?”
Qin Hai laughed and said, “The one thing I don’t believe in is God.”
Crowe looked at Qin Hai with some surprise, and then continued, “Then do you believe me when I say that we are being chased by God?”
“Believe!”
Qin Hai said dryly.
“Why?” Crowe’s eyes widened as he said, “Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to be hunted by God?”
“It’s simple.” Hua Jiu’er, however, laughed, “Because, he has been chasing after God and has been chased by God.”
Crowe looked at Qin Hai in shock before taking a deep breath and said, “It seems that we are all in the same boat, Linda is a researcher at a European historical research institute, while I, I think you should have heard of me, I am a mercenary in the Knights of the Church.”
“A very old mercenary organisation.” Qin Hai nodded and said, “Always active in the great events of European history.”
“Three years ago, I was ordered to protect the research team Linda was on to examine a certain site, and it was that operation that turned our worldview upside down.” Crowe said with a bitter smile, “Although I was a mercenary of the Order, I always thought that those myths were just made up by some people in power in history to consolidate their rule, or some people’s romantic fantasies that were false, but on that expedition, we found out that everything was true.”
Qin Hai did not say anything, but merely gestured for him to continue.
Crowe took a deep breath and said, “The reason Noah’s Ark was real was because the so-called gods found out that humans were not believing in them, so they launched an extermination, and all the gods were a powerful unknown race, did you know that? Odin, Zeus, the true gods, God, these are the incarnations of the strongest of that race, and we, the Knights, are the minions of this race on land, charged with destroying all who question them! The romance of mythology is nothing but their self-glorification, and as you can imagine, they have started almost half or more of the known human wars!”
“And then?”
Qin Hai asked.
Crowe said, “When we discovered the secret, we were hunted by the Arbiter, hunted by the Arbiter, hunted by the Arbiter without a word! The most inhumane hunt! For the past three years, we have roamed around with great effort, constantly evading the hunt and gathering evidence of the sins of this race, as we tried to expose their ugly faces to the world.”
As he said that, he pulled out the flash drive on his body and said, “This is the evidence that our entire team, over forty people, had gathered with our lives and blood, over forty people, and in the end, only Linda and I, and Rhett were left alive.”
“If there is so much evidence, why didn’t you expose it?” Qin Hai asked.
Crowe laughed bitterly, “The password for the flash drive was set by Linda’s brother, and no one knew it except him.”
“He’s dead?”
Qin Hai asked.
Crowe nodded in pain.
Hua Jiu’er raised an eyebrow and wanted to say something, but Qin Dahai spoke up and asked, “Then what did you come to South America for?”
“A divine weapon!”
Crowe put away the USB stick and said, “A divine weapon that can defeat that race, Linda had once read in an ancient record that this race, who call themselves gods, have a very powerful weapon strayed into this great land, and as long as we get this weapon, we can have hope of surviving.”
“Then it seems to be correct.” Qin Hai nodded, and after looking at Crow who seemed a little confused, he smiled, “My real name is Qin Hai, have you heard of it?”
Crowe’s eyes widened, “That Eastern Devil?”
“Not a very good reputation, it seems.” Qin Hai Hai said amused.
Kero said, “Not only the Arbitration Institute, even our Knights, your name is ranked first among the mission targets, only that no one has been accepting the mission.”
Qin Hai laughed, “That’s quite an honour.”
“You are also for that divine weapon?” Crowe asked hurriedly.
Qin Hai nodded and said, “Not bad, I have established a base to resist the Gods on the Island of Ultimate Bliss, but so far, we can only resist, so I want to get that divine artifact.”
He had just finished speaking.
Leite suddenly barged in hurriedly, “Someone is coming!”
