Hodge was carried off the aircraft by Brett. The nobleman was wrapped in a blanket from head to toe. The man was bare-chested and full of energy. He was obviously not having fun and was about to go back to the house for the second half.
However, a message interrupted the good things of the two.
The communication number of the other party was hidden, and the message said: "Your son is in my hands. To save him, just go to XX place at XX time alone. Don't tell anyone." Below is a picture of Hope being blindfolded and tied up. photo.
Because Hodge was right under Brett when he received this message, and he happened to see it, so he couldn't hide it.
Losing interest, the two of them could only end hastily.
Hodge looked at Brett's expression. He knew how much the man cared about this experimental subject. At this time, he already had Brett, and the experimental subject had become useless.
"You don't have to take risks," Hodge advised.
"But he is our child." Brett looked at Hodge with an anxious expression, "With you, I have a home in this world. With Hope, my home is more complete."
Hodge's heart was sweet and sour, as long as he had Brett, he didn't need another experimental subject to distract the man.
"The other party was able to catch Hope, and the energy is not small." Hodge called up the surveillance video and found that it was hacked. He sent people to the scene to check, and his subordinates reported that even the pet dog was gone. There was no sign of violent break-in in the room, probably They captured both the man and the dog.
Hodge calmly analyzed: "Maybe someone came and asked Hope to open the door willingly, or they were caught while they were walking outside. The security in your community is strict, and you can arrest Hope without alarming anyone. Unusual. Who knows the relationship between Hope and you?"
"There are quite a few, but I'm not cautious enough." Bright blamed himself.
"this is not your fault."
"Of course it's my fault. I shouldn't have left a six-year-old alone." Hope is independent and smart, taking care of dogs and even coyotes when Brett is away. He did it all online, and Brett has always been at ease with him, so he didn't pay enough attention.
Unlike Brett's worry, Hodge was more indifferent and ruthless. Since the subject's whereabouts were unknown, he decided to quickly perform a minor operation to completely cut off the connection between himself and the subject. Although the connection of the five senses itself has control and can be opened or closed, but at this time the experimental subject accidentally fell into the hands of a certain force, just in case, it is better to eliminate the trouble forever.
Thinking of this, Hodge said to Brett: "I'll go out for a while, you promise me, don't act rashly, and make plans when I come back."
Brett thought the other party was doing an investigation and said, "I'll go with you."
Hodge declined, and he said vaguely, "There are some places that are inconvenient for you to go."
Brett looked at him wordlessly.
"I understand how you feel, and I will try my best to help you get him back." Hodge softened his voice and offered to kiss Brett to express his comfort.
Brett seemed to be convinced, and reluctantly agreed to Hodge's patience for the time being.
Hodge didn't come back until evening.
Brett was a bit happy at first, but he glanced up and down at the nobleman, his smile gradually disappeared, and his face became expressionless: "What kind of investigation needs a bath?"
Hodge, who had just finished the operation and treatment at the scientist, was choked. He couldn't see the emotion in Brett's eyes clearly, but the tense atmosphere and the man's cold voice instantly reminded him of the cold treatment he had received before. .
The "Master" that drew the line and the impact without any emotion were deeply imprinted in his mind, reminding him not to forget that lesson.
Oh, no one knows better than him how much a man can hurt someone, and no one knows better than him how terrible it is for a man to get angry!
Hodge's whole heart was flustered, he had to clean up after surgery, but he couldn't tell the truth, and couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.
That moment of pause reveals a lot.
Brett smiled half-smile: "Have you thought of an excuse?"
Hodge tried to defend himself by saying "I want to rescue Hope", but this is false, and he didn't want to.
Want to say "I didn't do anything I'm sorry for you", but that's also false, he did a lot.
Seeing Brett's eyes getting colder and colder, Hodge was extremely anxious, as if he accidentally twisted his neck, his head was hot, and he didn't know what he was talking about at that moment, and the words popped out automatically.
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't betray you... I love you, Brett. Just trust me please?"
As soon as the words came out, both of them froze for a moment.
The listener's eyes softened, a little annoyed, and a little funny, like a pet who tried his best to pretend to be well-behaved after the house was demolished. "If I remember correctly, it was the first time you said you loved me." The nobleman always used "like" to express his feelings for himself, he never believed in love,
The one who spoke was blushing, and forced his gaze to meet the man: "Then what's your answer?"
"I love you too, Hodge, I've always said that."
Brett pulled Hodge into his arms, Hodge hugged him tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and whispered: "I only want you to touch me, only you, Brett."
"Well, I believe you." Brett turned his head and kissed his neck.
The relationship between the two eased down, a blessing in disguise, and good progress was made. Hodge was secretly happy in his heart. He didn't care about the life and death of the experimental subject, but Brett cared a lot, so he would pay some attention.
Hodge said: "The latest investigation came out. Hodge was taken away while taking the dog for a walk. Footprints and a few hairs were found in the places they frequented. The cameras in that area were also hacked. Following the traces on the Internet, a hacker has been locked, and I have sent someone to catch him."
Although the hacker was caught that night, after interrogation, it was found that the hacker was only using money to do business and knew nothing about the kidnapping. The money was placed directly at the hacker's door, and the source could not be traced, so the clues were cut off.
Probably noticed that Bright was investigating, the kidnappers sent a message arrogantly, warning Bright not to play tricks.
"Dad, I'm scared."
"Dad, you help me."
"Dad, don't you want me?"
"You're wasting your time." Hope looked at the bad guy who kept harassing his father with text messages, with a look of disdain. "Wow!" His face was immediately pinched maliciously, and he was pulled from side to side.
The original slapped round face suddenly turned into a distorted flat pie face.
"You said that if I cut off your fingers and sent them to your father, would he be mad?"
Hope glared at the kidnapper with cat-like eyes: "Dad will not lose his composure. Besides, with the advancement of medical technology, non-fatal limb injuries can be easily recovered."
"But it will hurt." The kidnapper threatened in a low voice.
Hope tried his best not to reveal his fear, and said firmly: "Daddy will make you hurt more."
Probably because he thought teasing the child was too boring, the kidnapper blocked his mouth and blindfolded him again. The treatment of the dog is much worse than him. If he is knocked out, he will be thrown directly on the ground.
Despite Hodge's strenuous objections, at noon the next day, Brett appeared alone at the location designated by the kidnappers.
It is a bustling ring-shaped shopping mall. The whole building has more than ten floors. It looks like a figure 8 when viewed from the sky. The corridors connect and turn around, creating an environment where consumers can’t get out when they come in. It increases the time spent in the building and stimulates the desire to buy. .
Because there are a lot of people, no matter how many and smart cameras are, it may not be able to capture the picture accurately. This is probably the reason why the kidnappers chose this place.
Following the prompts to go up to the third floor, Brett felt that he was being watched as soon as he entered, so he secretly raised his vigilance and walked among the bustling crowd like a normal customer.
Several people were approaching in his direction, Brett remained calm, two of them passed him and walked away, one walked past him and dropped a ball of paper, Brett didn't pick it up, but went directly to grab it Man, that man was very agile, and dodged like a loach.
At this time, someone on the left suddenly shouted: "Brett No. 199 is here!"
The entire shopping center seemed to have been paused, and Brett screamed secretly. He only made a simple disguise, and anyone who cared could recognize it at a glance. The people around him stared at him with cannibalistic eyes and screamed one after another, and suddenly countless crowds rushed in his direction.
Brett knew that the person shouting must be his accomplice, deliberately creating confusion in the crowd, because of the delay, the person throwing the paper ball had already entered the crowd, Brett had to quickly pick up the paper ball, and ran away before he could see it. escape.
There are people in the front, back, left, and right, and there are more and more trends.
"Ah—he's going to jump off the building!"
Brett climbed directly over the railing, descended from the circular patio to the first floor, passed through the crowd on the first floor who had no time to react, and escaped.
In a deserted place, Brett opened the ball of paper, and inside it was a drawing of a dog with a collar.
It really is him...
"Dogs are so ugly."
"Then he is a wolf!"
"Where are they?"
"What do I want? Don't play dumb with me, my conditions are clearly stated on the drawing, the secret of the werewolf unlocking the bracelet."
"The eleventh issue is for you."
The other party was silent for a while, and finally sent an address.
After making a quick deal with Pierce, Brett didn't go directly to the destination, but secretly contacted Harry and asked him to go to a place to take a message immediately.
"Boss, it's good for me to put you through life and death like this, you have to remember me!" Harry thought, and quickly led the big man to complete the task.
Ever since he knew about the insane five-sense connection, Brett has been thinking about how to break the connection between Hodge and Hope.
First of all, he can't reveal that he knows about this matter, because he learned it through stealing information, and it's not good for him to go deep into it. For example, where did the flash drive technology come from? What other important information did he steal? Pierce and the werewolf are unavoidable, so they must not be brought up by themselves. It is best for Hodge to take the initiative to terminate this connection.
Brett pondered for a long time before he managed to come up with a solution: put Hope in danger and force Hodge to cut off contact for his own safety.
Therefore, he deliberately let Pierce know of Hope's existence and stimulated the other party. Among them, the red hair was also helping, secretly fanning the flames as a guide, which led to Pierce's kidnapping of Hope, forcing Hodge to take measures.
This method is not perfect, and there are many variables, but for the sake of physical and mental health and family happiness, Brett has no choice but to make a bad decision. Fortunately for him, so far, everything has been as he expected.
As for Harry's role in it, it starts with the chimpanzee.
When encountering the chimpanzee in issue seven, the oldest one, briefly communicates with Bright. Chimpanzees are despised by humans, and they are usually kept in a closed forest. In fact, they already possess advanced intelligence, and their civilization has initially formed. Some graphics, gestures, etc. are recorded and communicated, a bit like the apes in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". That's when Bright hooked up with them.
The chimpanzees did not die in the fire that was set in the program group before, but escaped and temporarily hid in a warehouse in the sewer area. Harry had obeyed Brett's orders before and delivered supplies to the chimpanzees, such as firearms, fruit and food. According to Harry’s feedback, they have now learned simple human language, mastered basic life skills, and are also thieves when playing with weapons. It’s just that they are panicking in the warehouse, and the upper echelon of the group adopts a high-pressure policy to barely suppress the orangutans.
Now Brett asks Harry to send word to the chimpanzees to secretly rescue Hope. This was Brett's temporary idea. He wanted to simply take the opportunity to let Hope and the pet dog disappear from public view, get rid of surveillance and restraint, and he would be less constrained.
Brett pretended to get rid of the stalking people on the bright side. He knew that he was under the surveillance of the camera all the time. When he attracted all his attention, Hope and the pet dog had been rescued and moved to a safe place.
Brett finally came to an abandoned building. He dived in without hesitation. There was no one in it. He also helped to eliminate the traces left by the chimpanzees.
However, the accident happened in an instant.
tick.
"Boom—"
With a loud bang, the whole building exploded.
The author has something to say: Gong is fine, I woke up when I exploded
