Ancient Civilization (Part 2)
"Do you know about prehistoric ruins?" Andre whispered into Xia Fei's ear. His voice was slightly trembling, and it was obvious that he was very excited.
"Are you talking about the Mayan Civilization?"
Andre shook his head, "Although the earliest Mayan Civilization can be traced back to 2000 BC, their true glory was after 600 AD. The prehistoric civilization I'm talking about is even earlier than the Mayan Civilization, and its glory is far from what the Mayan Civilization can compare to."
"Even earlier than the Mayan Civilization? Could it be the legendary one?"
Andre hurriedly raised his hand to stop Xia Fei from continuing. He solemnly nodded, "There are too many people here. Let's talk about this later."
Xia Fei locked himself in the toilet and took out the Moore Stone necklace around his neck. He softly shouted, "Phantasm, are you dead?"
Phantasm popped his head out from the necklace and asked with dissatisfaction, "What's the matter? I'm currently studying the poem you gave me."
Xia Fei was furious, "I nearly died just now, and you actually have the mood to read a poem?"
Phantom sighed and said, "If you can't even deal with such a small matter, you don't have the qualifications to be an Assassin. There are some things that you can only solve by yourself. My corporeal body has already become formless, and I can't help you even if I want to."
"Speaking of which, what you did just now was pretty good. When you saw the blood, your heart suddenly contracted, your hormones were released in large amounts, and your brain was working faster. This means that battles and blood will make you excited. This is an innate conditioned reflex, and it's your talent. "
Xia Fei knitted his brows, "If I get excited when I see blood, then wouldn't I become a homicidal maniac?"
"It's useless to resist. Although your mind doesn't like fighting and doesn't like blood, your body's performance is the complete opposite. I advise you to learn and slowly adapt. That day, I saw that after you consumed the gene optimization fluid, you suffered a frenzied assault from your seventh brain region, but you didn't give up. Even when your life was about to come to an irreversible end, you still fought. This unyielding will infected me, and that's why I helped you."
"A bloodthirsty instinct, an unyielding will. These are all talents that make you an outstanding warrior. You are destined not to live an ordinary life for the rest of your life. Alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. I'm going back to study my poem. There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror. It's really well said! I'm considering whether to study Buddhism or not. "
Xia Fei was truly speechless at Phantom. You're a super assassin, so why did you learn Buddhism? Isn't that a little too frivolous?
If I hadn't met my master, I would've definitely become a romantic poet. Whether it's my mind or my body, they all have a natural resistance to battle. You're a natural warrior, and your genes are completely different from mine. How can you understand my pain? "Phantom said disapprovingly," I'm different from you. The reason why I became an assassin was completely an accident. If I hadn't met my master, I would've definitely become a romantic poet.
It was as if Phantom was possessed. Without waiting for Xia Fei to finish speaking, he ran back to his little world to study Buddhism.
This was really a great joke. An assassin who terrorized the entire universe was actually a romantic poet, and an ordinary bicycle courier was actually a warrior who thirsted for battle.
Could it be that everyone had an inviolable genetic talent hidden in their bodies, but they had yet to discover it?
The Federation government was very concerned about the hijacking of a plane. All the passengers on the plane were invited to be investigated by the FBI. Xia Fei, Andre, and Wu Long, the three directly involved parties, were naturally interrogated in detail.
After staying in Hawaii for a day, Xia Fei once again boarded a plane to New York. This time, he took the private jet sent by the Rothschild family.
The private jet was much smaller than the A380, but it was much more comfortable. The leather seats exuded a faint scent of fur. The walnut wood table had a clear texture and beautiful lines. It was low-key yet luxurious.
"How did you discover that the detonator was actually on that young man on the plane?" Wu Long asked as he took a sip of vodka.
The three of them had been interrogated separately in the FBI, so they didn't have a chance to talk together. That was why Wu Long couldn't help but ask about what happened on the plane the moment they met.
"It's very obvious that the young man is the mastermind of this hijacking because the burly man wearing the bomb was very respectful to that young man. One is a master while the other is a subordinate. Think about it, as a master, why would he put his life in the hands of his subordinate? That's why I concluded that if the bomb was real, the detonator would definitely be in the hands of that young man. He definitely wouldn't let that burly man, who obviously didn't have enough IQ, hold the detonator. It's too dangerous, and no one would do something like that.
"Then, I carefully observed that young man. There was still a trace of blood seeping from the bandage on his right hand. His movements were very unnatural, and he was deliberately protecting his hand. This meant that his right hand was really injured. Detonating a bomb requires a hand, and since his right hand was injured, he could only use his left hand to detonate it.
"I'm not sure if you guys noticed, but his left hand would often subconsciously touch his pocket. From the moment he stood up until the moment he put his hand into his pocket, he had touched it four times. His pocket was bulging, and it was obvious that he was carrying something."
After hearing what Xia Fei said, Andre and Wu Long revealed a look of disbelief.
"That's too unbelievable. Did you receive some special training? Otherwise, how could you observe in such detail and analyze so thoroughly?" Andre asked.
Xia Fei chuckled. "It's nothing like that. I used to be a bicycle courier, delivering letters everywhere. I've seen all sorts of people, so I naturally learned some ways to observe people. It's all a job requirement."
Wu Long rubbed his bald head with an ugly expression. "Sigh, now that you mention it, I feel that I've been too rash. I've really wasted my thirty-six years of life."
"Forget it. Let bygones be bygones. Regardless of the process, the most important thing is that the three of us are still alive. I was just about to ask you, how did you know that they were from the Black Snake Gang? What kind of organization is this Black Snake Gang? "Xia Fei consoled Wu Long.
Upon mentioning the Black Snake Gang, Wu Long became spirited. "Right now, there are plenty of Ability Users on Earth. It's said that there are more than ten thousand of them. There are even some famous criminals from the old era who have unlocked their seventh brain region and became Ability Users. The Black Snake Gang is formed by these criminals with Ability Users. They rely on their Ability Users to wreak havoc everywhere they go. Even the Federation government has a headache dealing with them."
Andre seemed to already know about it. He only listened quietly without interrupting.
Xia Fei took out a Hongtashan cigarette and lit it up. "So that's how it is. It's indeed troublesome for criminals to possess Ability Users. There's nothing we can do about it. This is the new era. Everyone has the chance to become an Ability User, be they good or bad."
Wu Long nodded heavily. "That's right. The number of Ability Users in the Federation is ten thousand, but there are plenty of criminals who haven't registered with the A-class Citizen Management Bureau. The actual number should be around eleven thousand."
"I'm originally a private investigator and once took on a case involving the Black Snake Gang. That's why I know that every member of the Black Snake Gang will have a black snake tattoo on their body. That day, that muscular man tore open his leather jacket and revealed the black snake tattoo on his chest. That's why I immediately recognized them as members of the Black Snake Gang."
Xia Fei had also seen it, but he didn't know the meaning of the tattoo, so he didn't think much of it.
"How did they bring the bomb onto the plane?" Xia Fei asked. "The airport's security is very strict, yet these people were actually able to openly strap a bomb onto their body and bring it in. Could there be a mole among the airport's security personnel?"
Wu Long shook his big head. "I can't figure it out, either."
"I've already asked around. The young man who hijacked the plane is ranked seventh in the Black Snake Gang. His ability is shielding. He can create a space, and no one will be able to detect anything he puts in there. Even the detectors won't be able to detect it. Meanwhile, that muscular man is a peripheral member of the Black Snake Gang and doesn't have any ability. He's the human bomb for this operation." Andre slowly explained.
With the Rothschild Family's influence, it wasn't difficult for them to find out about such matters. The shadow of the Rothschild Family could be seen everywhere in the Federation. This huge family was already tightly tied to the Earth Federation and couldn't be separated.
"The cause of everything starts from this thing." Andre pointed to the aluminum alloy safe in his hand.
"I had long sensed that someone was watching me. In order to bring this thing back to New York, I had to travel from Athens to Moscow, then from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar, Ulaanbaatar to Beijing, and Beijing to New York. I took such a big detour just to shake off the Black Snake Gang. My bodyguards and followers were constantly scattered along the way to divert their attention, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape from their pursuit." Andre angrily said.
Xia Fei thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "With the Rothschild Family's strength, can't they directly seek help from the Federation? Could it be that the Black Snake Gang dares to openly go against the Federation? "
Andre smiled bitterly. "We did this precisely because we didn't want the Federation to find out about this thing. It's a pity that they still found out about it in the end."
Xia Fei and Wu Long were puzzled. "Just what is this thing? It's so mysterious. Andre is willing to take the risk and not reveal it. Is it worth it?"
Andre placed the aluminum alloy safe on the table and took out a key from his suit pocket to unlock his handcuffs.
"Do you still remember what I told you?" Andre asked Xia Fei.
"Yes, the ruins of the ancient civilization."
Andre placed his finger on the fingerprint lock on the safe and wanted to open it.
* Pa! *
Xia Fei pressed on the safe with one hand. "Since this thing is of great significance to your family, I think it's best if we don't look at it."
Andre smiled with relief. "Now that even the Federation knows about it, what's the harm in showing it to you guys?"
A red light swept across Andre's finger. Andre checked the mechanical password of the safe and inserted the key.
A small aluminum alloy safe was actually set up with three layers of password protection. It was evident how precious this thing was.
Xia Fei and Wu Long stared at the safe that was about to open. Their hearts were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
"If it's not the Mayan civilization, could it be that legendary ancient civilization?"
