Chapter 2 Charming Louvre
Chapter 2 Charming Louvre
Gorgeous hand-woven tapestries, embroidered cushions, dark wood floors, rattan furniture, and a huge green plant in the corner.Zhong Ye stood in this Southeast Asian style room and looked around, his attention was attracted by the strange mask on the wall.
He didn't know that there would be such a cryptographer living in seclusion in Hong Kong.He was born in the United States, had participated in the Second World War and the Vietnam War, was proficient in cryptography, and held an important position in the US intelligence department before retiring.
However, time took away all the honor, and now Zhong Ye only saw a white-haired old man lying on the table, wearing a monocle in his right eye.He concentrated on observing the "Fei Ji" in his hand, and used a pencil to record something on paper from time to time.
The clock had pointed to twelve o'clock, and the room was silent.From the censer on the table, there was an intoxicating smoke.
Mathilde has always kept her word, and she still took the time to arrange an appointment for Zhong Ye tonight with Sean Cecil, a cryptographer, despite the heavy official duties.
"I like oriental culture very much, and I also like oriental people." The slow, old voice suddenly broke the silence, startling Zhong Ye.
"You are beautiful," Sean Cecil raised his head, his lake blue eyes were full of wisdom, and there was a little sly smile, "The first time I saw you, I thanked Mathilde Introduced such an excellent client to me. Would you like to stay here a little longer? I will teach you many ways to crack passwords, and you will definitely be able to use them in your work..."
"No, thank you. I'm going to retire soon." Zhong Ye smiled guiltyly, he understood that Xiao En was joking.
Zhong Ye has beautiful and smooth black hair, and bright, vibrant eyes.More than once, he has been complimented on his beauty to his face, both by women and men.He is proficient in all kinds of stealing techniques, but he is weak in interpersonal communication. Until now, when he is praised for his beauty, he doesn't know how to respond with appropriate language.
A blush passing across his cheeks made Sean Cecil laugh silently. The world-renowned strange thief "Dark Blue" seemed unexpectedly innocent.The tip of the pen drew the last letter on the paper, and he reached out to return the ruby to Zhong Ye.
"Is this the Caesar Cipher?" Zhong Ye carefully put "Fei Ji" into the velvet box.
"It's a more complicated Virginal cipher. You have met a very difficult opponent. Fortunately, the hidden message is very simple, so I can quickly decipher it for you without a cipher table." Xiao As En Cecil said, he stuffed the folded white paper into Zhong Ye's hands.
There are two lines on the paper, one in English and one in Chinese.
──winter palace──
──Hermitage──
This is his next stop.
"I don't know how to thank you." Zhong Ye smiled gratefully.
"Maybe you'd like to give me a kiss." Sean Cecil narrowed his eyes, watching Zhong Ye's face flush quickly.
Standing up and adjusting his suit, he walked towards Zhong Ye with a pipe in his hand, and sincerely extended his hand to him: "I'm glad to serve you, please forgive my joke, because the way you blush is so funny."
Zhong Ye bowed his head in shame, and shook hands with him hastily: "I'm like a child, isn't it ridiculous?"
"It's not funny, it's just that your shy expression will make some people want to do bad things to you." Sean Cecil patted him on the shoulder, "In order to protect yourself, you have to be careful .Don’t let your guard down when you think you’re going to retire. Misfortune always happens at the most unlikely moment.”
"Thank you for reminding."
Walking out of the room, Zhong Ye's body shrank from the blowing night wind.He turned up the collar of his coat, stuffed the note wrapped in the ruby in his pocket, and strode across the garden to the street.
Sean Cecil's warning made him feel very complicated. The so-called accident had already happened.
A black car was parked on the side of the street, and the culprit who caused Zhong Ye's misfortune was sitting in it.In the end, he rejected Jin's suggestion to drive him and came here by bus.
But that shameless bastard followed the bus like a stalker until it stopped outside Sean Cecil's house.
Seeing Zhong Ye approaching, Jin honked the horn.
"Get away!" Zhong Ye yelled angrily, kicking up a small stone.His footwork was not very good, the stone flew out in an arc at low altitude, and fell to the ground before hitting the car.
"The last train has already left." Seeing that Zhong Ye was ungrateful, Jin simply rolled down the window and waved at him with a cigarette in his mouth.
"I'll go for a walk!" Zhong Ye didn't even look at him.
From the corner of his sight, the car moved slowly, keeping the lowest speed and following him. Zhong Ye has always been overwhelmed by JIN's pestering skills, no matter how ugly he swears, he can't do any harm to the cheeky JIN.
Not wanting to talk too much with him, Zhong Ye sneaked into the garden of the roadside villa.Stepping on the trunk of a big tree with his left foot, his body jumped lightly and onto the branch.The branch was several meters away from the opposite roof. He easily jumped in the air, and his feet landed firmly on the roof.
Standing by the chimney and proudly looking down at the car, Zhong Ye saw Jin get off the car and stomp out the cigarette on the ground, looking up at him helplessly.Such a sight filled him with a sense of refreshment, he turned around and jumped to the ground from another direction, and disappeared into the vast night.
This way of escaping is no different from that of a bereaved dog. Zhong Ye really wants to cry when he thinks that the technique he has painstakingly cultivated is actually used to escape.
He hates his life now, it all started from that day.
The accident that Sean Cecil mentioned, the accident that made him feel like he had encountered a nightmare, all started three months ago...
Three months ago, Paris, France.
At two o'clock in the morning, Zhong Ye's elongated figure was reflected on the floor of the Louvre Museum of Painting.The black tights outlined his graceful and flexible body, and his deep pupils were as bright as obsidian, bright and full of vitality.
Just last week, he committed another case that shocked the world, stealing the volume of Shirashi poems by the ancient Japanese calligrapher Fujiwara Yukinari from the Kyoto National Museum in Japan.No one would have thought that he would strike again after only a week of rest, and no one could know his whereabouts, because Zhong Ye didn't like to show off, he would never send out notices in a big way before he took action, and would only leave a flower after he got it Blue irises.
Blue is his favorite color.
For his appearance, the Louvre was unprepared.
However, this time he did not come to visit this art treasure house for work, he just wanted to do a little personal business.He was tired of stealing things all over the world, and his actions tonight served another purpose.
His elder brother, Lan Zhongjing.
Zhong Jing, his only relative in the world, is a skilled counterfeiter.Before Zhong Ye made his debut, Zhong Jing disappeared in a job.Zhong Ye always thought that he was dead, for those in their profession, death was as common as eating.But just when he got it from the Kyoto National Museum and returned to his apartment in Hong Kong after reporting to the organization, an unsigned letter changed his whole life.
The text of the letter was all printed, telling him that as long as he followed the content of the letter, he would get clues about Zhongjing.
Zhong Ye didn't fully believe it, but he couldn't resist the temptation of this letter, he wanted to give it a try.He has enough confidence in his skills, even if he fails to succeed, he can at least escape from the hands of the Interpol and save his life.
He's not a perfectionist, he's realistic and he allows failure.
However, what happened later was beyond his imagination. If he hadn't experienced it personally, he would never have imagined that he would encounter a powerful, terrifying, weird and perverted enemy.
According to the content of the letter, he will steal seven works of art distributed all over the world.A coded message was left on each item, telling him his next location and destination.When he got all seven items, he would be able to find the missing Zhong Jing, and... Forget it, compared with Zhong Jing, the other thing is not important at all.
So Zhongye came to his first destination that night, the Louvre Museum on the banks of the Seine in Paris.Before he set off, he had already agreed with the organization that the organization would contact experts in various fields to decipher the message for him.This request is nothing compared to what he has contributed in ten years.
And when he finds all these seven works of art, he will completely lose his identity as "Dark Blue", stay away from the sinful world and become an ordinary person.
Mathilde, who raised him, agreed.
As one of the oldest museums in the world, the Louvre Museum of Painting has 35 exhibition halls, more than 2000 exhibits, and works of various schools from the [-]th to the [-]th century.And Zhongye's goal is only one of them—"Venus Dressed", Titian's work.He didn't even have to go to the trouble of stealing the painting, the anonymous letter told him the location of the next artwork was engraved on the back of the frame.
The long corridor seems to have no end, and the moonlight cast from the vaulted roof dyes the entire painting hall with a layer of silver gauze.Zhong Ye is very fond of art. After retiring, he will spend a long time traveling to museums all over the world to make up for his ten years of hard work...Huh?
Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Zhong Ye saw a person standing in front of the "Venus in Makeup" not far away?That was obviously not the guard, because Zhong Ye had hung himself upside down like a spider on the roof ten minutes ago, avoiding the guard's flashlight.
Under the dim moonlight, the other party raised his head slightly, and seemed to be watching the painting very intently.If it was daytime, he was just an ordinary tourist; however, it is two o'clock in the morning, long past the closing time, and an uninvited visitor suddenly appeared in the corridor admiring oil paintings in the dark. Zhong Ye couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
He retreated to the dark place, moved his palm slightly, and immediately there were two thin needles on his fingertips.The needle tip is covered with narcotics, and Zhong Ye never commits murder. No matter who the other party is, if it hinders his work, he will ask the other party to sleep well.
"Do you like Titian?" But at this moment, the man suddenly spoke.The soft and deep male voice made Zhong Ye feel numbness behind him.
... This man's voice ... is very pleasant.
……asshole!What is he thinking!Are you distracted during work hours? ...But the other party saw him?Zhong Ye swears that he has been concentrating on admiring the oil painting, without even moving his head.
"Do you like Titian, 'Dark Blue'?" The man asked again without hearing Zhong Ye's answer.The last two words shocked Zhong Ye, how could that person see him!And recognize him from such a distance? !
Thinking quickly in his brain, Zhong Ye thought for a moment that the other party was the sender.But there is no such a coincidence, even if the sender knows that he will come here, he does not know when he will act.
Without being able to confirm the identity of the other party, Zhong Ye immediately decided to give up this operation.He is not a hot-blooded young man trying to be brave, and it is only natural that he should run away if the situation is not right.
"Don't go, I still want to chat with you for a while." At this time, the beautiful bass came over again, "I have something to give you."
──Crazy, who wants your things!Why don't you go to the museum to pretend to be a tourist if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? ──Zhong Ye hid in the shadows at the corner of the corridor, with his back pressed against the wall, feeling furious in his heart.He even hoped that the guards with flashlights would be attracted quickly and that this inexplicable man would be taken away.
There was a vibration in the trouser pocket, and the phone rang at such a tense moment.Zhong Ye took it out impatiently, and found that someone had sent him a video, and the sender's number was unknown.
He opened the video strangely, but the next scene made the blood in his whole body freeze instantly.
In the screen, it was actually a video of him sneaking into the Kyoto National Museum last week!In the video, he was wearing a black tights, cut open the display case with a diamond cutter, and took away the volume of Bai's poems inside.The video captured his face clearly, and followed him all the way out of the museum, into the pre-prepared car, and even took pictures of the license plate number.
And from the beginning to the end of that day, he didn't know that such a camera existed.
"How about it, do you like my gift?" A soft laughter came from the corridor, Zhong Ye gritted his teeth, knowing that this man is definitely not a kind person.
Want to run away?The license plate number is disguised, and changing his appearance with makeup is also his forte.If you really want to hide seriously, this video is a pile of waste tapes.But Zhong Ye knew that it was useless to run away. This man was able to take a picture of his face, find out his mobile phone number, and get here first tonight, which has proved that he is not an ordinary person.
But he would not be a policeman, otherwise the entire museum would have been surrounded by police cars and helicopters.
Then who is he...?
"Who are you?" After thinking for a few seconds, Zhong Ye left the darkness at the corner and walked into the moonlight under the vault.He walked towards that man without fear, since he was caught, he would face it head-on, and he would not back down.
Stopping at a distance of about five meters from the other party, Zhong Ye could now clearly see the other party's appearance - light gray pupils, hair of the same color as his own.The facial features have both the meticulousness of the Orientals and the depth of the Westerners, like a mixed race.There was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, but Zhong Ye, who had a keen sense, could tell at a glance that he wasn't really smiling at all.
This is a man who is very good at hiding emotions and is difficult to deal with.
"I am your old enemy." To Zhong Ye's surprise, the gray-eyed man answered him without shame.
"You are quite confident." Zhong Ye sneered.The other party didn't care about his sarcasm, looked up at "Venus Dressing up", and asked for the third time: "Deep Blue, do you like Titian?"
"I like Van Gogh," Zhong Ye pouted, "Get out of the way, I have to work. Since you can come here before me, you must know my purpose today."
"Unfortunately, since I came here first today, you don't want to touch this painting again." The gray-eyed man said and raised the phone in front of Zhong Ye.
What was photographed in the picture was a hand wearing a black silk glove, which should be the man's own hand.He gently lifted the picture frame, and with the light of his phone, he illuminated the corners of the back of the picture frame.
Sure enough, there was a line of English characters engraved there, and as the picture was frozen, the words were preserved.And from the beginning to the end, the siren never sounded, and no guard came to stop the intruder.
Putting away the phone, the gray-eyed man looked at Zhong Ye with a smile.Zhong Ye thought he could speak, but without warning, the man rushed towards him.Zhong Ye immediately evaded sideways, the first thought in his mind was that the man was going to attack him.What he didn't expect was that the man didn't hit any of his vital points, but pinched his waist hard!
Suddenly, his body became weak, and Zhong Ye almost groaned.Alarm bells were ringing in my mind, how could this man... how could he know his only weakness? !The numbness spread from the waist to the whole body quickly, and the mind was in chaos.The only place Zhong Ye can't be touched is his side waist, he is ticklish, it will make him weak all over.
Why...why does this person even know such intimate things?Even Interpol couldn't possibly know, right?Could it be that he is a colleague in the organization who hates him?Zhong Ye gritted his teeth and secretly gathered his strength to escape.He can't go on like this anymore, this stranger is too scary, he doesn't want to ruin his life in the hands of this man who doesn't even know his name!
Seeing Zhong Ye's panic, the gray-eyed man approached him and slowly pushed him against the wall.The two bodies are getting closer and closer, so close that it is almost airtight.There was a faint smell of smoke from the tip of his nose. From such a close distance, Zhong Ye realized that the man was tall and strong, with broad and powerful shoulders.A huge shadow covered him, making him, a bully who never knew what fear was, feel "fear" for the first time.
...will be attacked?Or was shot?Or threatened?Zhong Ye thought quickly, without realizing that he had shrunk his shoulders and pressed against the wall desperately, like a girl persecuted by hooligans.
But what happened next was beyond his expectation. After staring at him for a few seconds, the man's face came closer, and he squeezed his chin with his big hand, and then...
Kissed him hard.
His mind went blank, and Zhong Ye was stunned for several seconds before realizing that he was kissing a man.The man's kiss was passionate and strong, he gently sucked Zhong Ye's lips, and then took advantage of the opportunity when he couldn't recover, he used his tongue to pry open his teeth.
"Woo...!" The tongue was entangled, and a tiny electric current ran through the whole body.Zhong Ye suddenly woke up, and put his hands on the man's shoulders desperately, trying to push him away.
However, both being men, the gap in power is so huge.No matter how hard he tried, his tall body remained motionless, and he even had the strength to hold him in his arms, kissing him even more brazenly.The man's kissing skills are very superb, and Zhong Ye, who is like a blank sheet of paper in matters of love, is no match for him at all.A strange feeling gradually appeared in his body, Zhong Ye struggled weakly in the man's arms, and gradually let out heavy gasps.
Suddenly, a pill slid down the tongue and into his throat, his eyes widened suddenly, and at the same time the arms that imprisoned him were released, the man also let go of his lips, and took a few steps back.
"You... What did you feed me?!" Zhong Ye staggered towards the man, his eyes blurred suddenly.
The body was heating up rapidly, and the medicine that fell into the stomach seemed to ignite a fire.The nasty man in sight was still smiling, and Zhong Ye was furious with his unflattering expression, and he punched him hard.
But before the fist had time to swing out, it hung down limply.His legs were trembling slightly, and Zhong Ye soon couldn't even stand upright, and fell down on the padded seat in the middle of the corridor for tourists to rest.
The drug melts rapidly in the stomach and is completely absorbed by the gastric mucosa.The body became very hot and uncomfortable, as if there was a fire burning in the lower abdomen.Zhong Ye lay on the chair and twisted his body, no matter who was watching beside him, he let out heavy panting.He realized that the gray-eyed man was giving him... probably the worst kind of medicine ever!
"Is it hard?" But he still pretended to be innocent, and sat beside Zhong Ye, pressing his wide palm between his legs.
"Ah... don't touch it!" Zhong Ye arched his back in pain, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
The black tights wrapped his beautiful legs, and there was already a high bulge between his legs. The scene was erotic and seductive.
"Is it really not necessary? If you leave it alone, the effect of the medicine will never disappear, and it will only make you more and more painful." The man smiled, and his fingers slid across the tights without haste, his fingertips outlined Zhong Ye's lower body Full silhouette.The subtle touch was even more unbearable, Zhong Ye was breathing heavily, and could hardly even utter a complete sentence.
"How about it? Unbutton your pants here and release it? Surrounded by countless world-famous paintings, you are also the first in history to orgasm and ejaculate."
"...No... No way!!" Even though his mind was in a mess, Zhong Ye managed to regain his senses when he heard these words, bit his lips tightly, and used the pain to wake himself up, "You can't defile such a sacred place!" place... you vile and shameless thing...!"
"Holy? You, a perpetrator of all kinds of evil, would describe the Louvre as holy?" The man sneered, "In your eyes, the only value of these precious works of art is money!"
"You...what do you know! You only plot against other people's dirty things..." Zhong Ye retorted with difficulty, and the dull pain coming up from his lower abdomen was going to drive him crazy.He wanted to argue with the man, who, while a criminal indeed, had never converted works of art shallowly into money.In fact, he has a very high appraisal vision for artworks, and his level will definitely not be inferior to that of experts!
...But now is not the time to argue, he feels that his lower body will explode at any moment.Under the manipulation of the man's fingers, the full part wrapped in the tights swelled up a bit, and the liquid slowly seeped out from the inside, soaking a large area of the black cloth.Panting with a blushing face, now he just wants to find something to knock himself out, it's better than being ugly in front of this man!
"It seems that it's really over. If this continues, it won't be good for your things." Looking at Zhong Ye's gradually lax eyes, the gray-eyed man sighed and shook his head.He pinched Zhong Ye's avatar and rubbed it vigorously a few times, then suddenly tore open his belt and pulled the zipper.
The swollen giant immediately jumped out of the trousers, splashing a few drops of transparent juice.Sensitive organs could no longer bear a little stimulation. The moment Zhong Ye came into contact with the icy air, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his waist tensed in pain.
With a tremor, the cloudy white hot liquid suddenly splashed out from the mouth of the penis, drawing an arc in the air.Almost at the same time, the man raised his mobile phone and pressed the camera button on Zhong Ye who was in an orgasm.
The clicking sound of the shutter made Zhong Ye extremely ashamed, and he lay on the bench like this, unable to resist being photographed by a stranger to ejaculate.
A large amount of juice sprayed on the lower abdomen and chest, leaving spots of white marks on the surface of the black tights.In addition to aphrodisiac, the drug that was poured seemed to have the effect of sleeping. After the orgasm, Zhong Ye felt extremely tired. He couldn't even utter a complete curse, so he lowered his eyelids heavily.
In the end, he still didn't understand why he and the gray-eyed man made such a big noise here, but still no guard came over.
This old enemy who fell from the sky... Who is it? !
