After chatting with Daisy for half an hour, Luke also told her some interesting facts about emergency drills.
The three most important points were analyzed logically and based on real cases from his career as a detective.
Daisy has no resistance to the three-piece set of mind communication + basic hypnosis + elementary pheromone manipulation. When encountering force majeure, she will choose to "follow the rules" first.
This can be considered as a small compensation from Luke to this girl.
As long as she is timid enough and stays away from Thor at the first opportunity, the chances of her getting into trouble are not high.
There was nothing else Luke could do.
Daisy came out with her teacher Dr. Jane to earn credits.
She is a freshman at Yale and has a lot of academic pressure, so she doesn't even take a break during Christmas and follows her teachers out to earn credits.
In a place like Yale, there are many examples of people who failed to complete their studies and ruined their future and even their lives.
There was no danger now, and Luke couldn't let Daisy give up those extremely important credits just by talking.
After the intelligence + security training course, Luke went back to the ranch tool shed to work.
Today is December 30th, the last day of 2004.
Thanks to Dustin's help, Luke's vacation time shown at the police station was only on the third day.
If there is no emergency, he can take five days off before going back.
So, he is not in too much of a hurry.
If it's five days later, he can only put it off one day at a time, and at most he will have to go back to New York to work after a week.
At that time, he might have to use some tricks to get that super troublesome prince to some sparsely populated place.
Anyway, there isn't much else in Texas, and there are sparsely populated areas everywhere.
Thor, who is in a period of decadence, should not care too much about these things. Dr. Jane and Dr. Shavig are also engaged in scientific research. It would not be a big problem to give them a huge sponsorship fee and let them take Thor to travel around the remote countryside for a few more times.
In the afternoon, Selina's voice came through the channel that was always open to her: "Luke, look at the sky over here in Shackelford."
Luke instantly appeared at the door of the tool shed and looked southeast at Shackelford.
A huge cloud suddenly appeared in the clear afternoon sky.
It appeared alone in the sky not far from Shackelford, then spun like a tornado and fell to the ground.
Luke knew that this was definitely not a tornado. A tornado could not form a straight line from the cloud to the landing point.
Xiao Wo also reminded him at the right time: "Sir, an abnormal energy reaction has occurred in the sky ten kilometers to the southeast."
He took out a fake cell phone, casually adjusted the medium-sized drone in the sky, and looked over from a distance.
Soon the fake tornado disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
In the images sent back by the drone, four people were clearly seen appearing at the location where the "tornado" fell, and a huge circle pattern appeared on the ground, with regular and neat patterns inside the circle.
Luke smacked his lips. "I'll take care of them. Tell Robert to tell the police not to come forward and interrogate them. Just pretend they don't exist."
Selina: “Understood.”
Luke drove Robert's F150 quickly towards the town.
A few minutes later, the F150 rushed into the town, slowed down when it was still some distance away from the four men, returned to normal speed, and drove slowly to the four strangely dressed guys.
Luke got out of the car and walked towards the four people on the side of the road.
The foursome of strangely dressed people were questioning a thin old lady. They didn’t look vicious, just a little... stupid
Luke walked over with a frown on his face, looked at the old lady and said, "Lucy, you are being naughty again."
Grandma Lucy showed a helpless look on her face: "I, cough, I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to buy some medicine..."
As a result, seeing the helpless expression on Luke's face, she stopped explaining and tilted her head slightly: "Well, I seldom go out these days, so I just came out for a walk today."
What could Luke say
Lucy is his neighbor and rescued Claire.
If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't even bother with her when she went out. They weren't that kind of people.
All he could say was: "Okay, remember not to stray too far from home. These are..."
Lucy was relieved to see that Luke didn't nag her. She liked Luke very much. After all, he was so sensible, handsome, and kind to the elderly. He was much better than her own granddaughter.
She quickly said, "They asked me if I had seen a big blond man. I hadn't, so I wanted them to go to the police station to ask."
Lucy winked at him as she spoke.
Luke admired in his heart: Lucy, it’s really a waste for you to be a housewife.
An old lady in her sixties remained calm in the face of four people who looked abnormal at first glance, and even pointed them to the police station with a smile.
If these people were just ordinary psychopaths, they would be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
During these two days, Shackelford has been conducting emergency drills, and there are always more than two teams of police officers at the police station, armed with live ammunition, ready to deal with any situation.
If Grandma Lucy was thirty years younger, no, twenty years younger would be enough, Luke would want to recruit her into his team.
Ginger is really spicy when it is old.
Thinking of this, he winked at Lucy and said, "Then leave it to me."
Lucy smiled and nodded: "That's good, remember to show them the way. Oh, boys, and this beautiful girl, let the child tell you, I have to go home to cook dinner for the old man."
The four people didn't have any objections, and the only female even smiled at Lucy and nodded to express her gratitude.
Luke watched Lucy walk away slowly, then turned around and looked at the four people: they were indeed dressed in a very retro, yet also very trendy style.
The four of them are wearing things similar to ancient armor and holding cold weapons, which is indeed very retro, but if the location is changed to some anime exhibition, they are just very trendy and great cosplayers.
However, these people are probably really "ancient" and not just cosplayers.
Thinking in his heart, he smiled and said to the only woman: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the sheriff here. What do you want to do in Shackelford?"
The only female among the four found the young man in front of her very pleasing to the eye, as if he were a big kid next door.
Without any hesitation, she said, "We are looking for Thor."
Luke kept smiling, but he said "bingo" in his mind: That's right, these four might be the extras of a certain prince.
Their main role should be to buy time for the protagonist, then use their own strength as a reference to highlight the eldest prince's power, shout a few words of 666, applaud and celebrate, and finally the gay friends + lesbian friends + the eldest prince return home together.
This is a typical happy ending.
Luke still smiled, and continued to put the breakthrough point on the only female among the four people: "Are you his friends?"
