old dream

Chapter 19 The Eyes Behind You
Colin kicked a leather bag under the seat with his heel. It was heavy and had to be moved with difficulty.

Carrying such a large bag on the inner city train is somewhat conspicuous.但是也没人会多管闲事地盯着他看。

These days there are not so many extremists who are killing indiscriminately, so the security check is also very lax.如果是在小车站上的车，那完全可以大大方方地拎着装满枪支弹药的袋子踏进车厢里。

The dense flow of people was choppy, with passengers accustomed to shoving and yelling.With just a few flight attendants, it's not bad that they can collect Chias dice.

There is a little girl in the aisle on the left of Colin. If she is not led by an adult, she may not be able to stand firmly in the crowded and shaking carriage by herself.她正啜吸着自己的左手拇指，一边好奇地盯着柯林的袋子看。

Colin quietly made a "shh" gesture to her, but for some reason, it made the other party giggle.

Four hours ago, the sky was just flooded with light, and Colin felt that his physical condition seemed to have improved a little, but it was also possible that he had just adapted to this sickness.

After waking up for a while, he didn't go to the place where Julio was tied, because Colin never intended to actually take her to the rumored location.

He stopped a carriage and went to the "Aspen Hotel" where Luca's office was located.But not to go to Luca, just to pick up some of my own.

In that hotel, Colin had reserved a room for many years.听起来有些浪费，但事实上每月不过多开销五六个奥里，却能提供很多方便。

Just because this place belongs to Luca, neither thieves nor police detectives often go in, and most of the immigrants who stay have to rely on Luca to settle them, so they don't dare to offend the people in the hotel.

If you just store some things from Luca that you don't need to hide, this is undoubtedly the most cost-effective place among all kinds of hiding places.

Various types of guns wrapped in oilcloth were displayed on the floor of the room in such a calm manner. Colin walked back and forth patiently selecting among them, considering the possible situations in his heart, and dismantling them for a while, and disassembling them for a while. that.

The gap in the room divider let in light almost, and sound insulation was poor, so he was careful not to let the gun parts make any noise.

Mr. One waited outside the hotel, as if what Colin was going to do had nothing to do with him.

In the end, Colin chose three weapons, a reliable standard bolt-action rifle; a pump-action shotgun, which will have a caliber of nearly [-]mm and diffuse barrage, so it shouldn't just hit the opponent's face like last time上开个小洞，而是直接轰烂那个怪物的头。

Finally, there is a .[-] pistol for close defense.

After counting, Ke Lin's satchel already weighed more than 20 kilograms.He re-locked his room, glanced at the stairs leading to Luca's office, and once again suppressed the idea of ​​asking Luca for some helpers.

First, he didn't want to implicate the Chestalo family; second, he once again warned himself not to trust Luca too much.

……

The old train with a speed of only [-] to [-] kilometers per hour slowly entered the new station of Booker in the southern suburbs.

The little girl may have come with her family for an outing, and several women brought a basket covered with cloth.The girl lay on her mother's shoulder and looked back, imitating Colin's expression just now and making a shush gesture at him.

Living a peaceful life, they had no idea what would happen in the old factory building not far away from the track.

Colin carried the leather bag and Mr. No. [-] and walked down the iron pedal. Unlike Stade, which is full of filth, the natural scenery and air in the southern suburbs are indeed pleasant.

It's a good thing that today is the weekend, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain the absence from the report room.

But in my current situation, even if I don't consider the specificity of those germs, it can be regarded as sepsis, so it's not too much to ask for a little leave.

Speaking of which, on Monday, I will accumulate a bunch of documents and wait for myself to translate.

He was thinking about some irrelevant and trivial things to force himself to calm down, but Colin ran into an unexpected person on the side of the platform.

"Ricardo?"

Didn't I dismiss him last night and make him stare at the bag of money?

……

"I'm not that stupid. If the money was really unsafe, you wouldn't just let me take it away." Ricardo said with a smile, "That's everyone's property and life."

But he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and he didn't look like he had been home, so he was at least "stupid" guarding the bag of money for one night.

Colin asked how he knew about the location.

"In the sweet water shop in the morning, I heard everyone saying that the waste material princess of Capello's family was kidnapped to the southern suburbs. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was you who arranged the news." He said.

Another sweet water shop, ever since Prohibition was promulgated, it always felt like all the taverns had become sissy sweet water shops overnight.

So there are often some weird scenes in the sweet water shop in Stade today: a few strong men with chest hair are sitting among the children drinking sweet water, chatting about some male topics without interest.

But the more you are in this kind of low-level venue, the faster you can hear such man-made rumors.

They are not so much the medium of rumors as the body of rumors.

I don't know who said a word without thinking first, but after 10 minutes, everyone was talking about the same thing, and after another 5 minutes, that thing had evolved into four or five versions.Everyone spoke convincingly and added details with their own unfounded guesses, as if some kind of virus was spreading through the air in the venue, and the source could no longer be found.

Ricardo is most familiar with that kind of place, so he can get the information hidden in the rumors one step faster than Capello's people, and come here.

This was actually beyond Colin's expectation, because he never expected that Ricardo would still have the courage to follow after the frantic incident that night.

The Ricardo in his memory was always boasting of his courage and rushing forward with a gun, but in fact the more cowardly the person, the more he needed to emphasize this point, it was to remind others as well as himself.

"I'm just here to try my luck." Ricardo patted his belt that was covered by the hem of his shirt.In that belt was his favorite gun, the one that Luca had given him:
"I didn't expect to meet it." He said pretending to be free and easy, straightened his legs, and hid his trembling hands behind his back.

Be stoic, and protect your friends.Colin thought about what Luca said to Ricardo when he handed out the gun, and swallowed the "Think about your parents" that he had prepared.

He is also an adult, and he has no right to tarnish his determination.

"So, what can you do?" Colin asked seriously, "What is your value to me?"

Ricardo put away his smiling face. In fact, he has thought about this question countless times on weekdays.

Luka and Colin are both so powerful, what else can they do for their limited abilities?
He thought about this question as if he was pondering the mysteries of the universe, so at this moment, he was able to say the answer without thinking:
"No matter how strong a person is, he needs another person to help him look behind."

"I am the eyes behind your back."
