Johnson. Brown is very nervous.
He was surrounded by men in black suits, all tall and big. There was a classical fireplace in the bright European-style living room, and an Italian man wearing an opal ring was sitting on the expensive leather sofa.
Johnson quietly compared in his heart, the male models in the studio were not as bright as the man in front of him sitting casually.
This "Mr. Morenza" is like the imprint of time, with a faint cigar smell, and the cufflinks of the silk shirt reflect the bright brilliance of the crystal chandelier.
That casual attitude and indifferent eyes made Johnson's scalp feel numb with excellent intuition.
- It's very dangerous, every muscle in the body is tense, screaming and running away.
Having experienced danger and death in the abandoned world, Johnson has grown a lot. After returning to the United States, he was forced to meet many people, FBI investigators, senior officials of the General Security Administration, and people in the military. They all have a common problem. , like to dominate the right to speak. Whether guiding gently or speaking in a commanding tone, Johnson didn't take them seriously.
This is also the reason why psychics are difficult to manage.
In places where there is no order, the power user has lost the reverence of ordinary people for the state machine. What's more, even thinking has changed, and other human beings are just moving pieces of meat in their eyes. The stronger the power, the more people killed in the abandoned world, the more serious this situation is.
Among the living S-level power users, Jian Hua had a different personality from ordinary people, and he had tossed with mushrooms. He did not need to abandon his humanity and compete for food with principles in order to survive, and he was not affected much.
Li Fei is an excellent actor. This excellence is not only in terms of acting, but also in psychology. Since his debut, Li Fei has played a serial murderer who avenged his sister, played a schizophrenic patient, and also made a biopic, playing a sensitive, hesitant, and unfortunate painter who finally committed suicide. By trying to figure out and shape the characters like this, Li Fei has never confounded the characters with himself.
This is a kind of talent, and now this kind of talent has saved Li Fei, he can easily adjust his mind, and Jian Hua is always with him, and there is not even a factor to stimulate his spirit.
Johnson's youth has not had such good luck.
His psychological problems are mainly manifested in the sequelae of traumatic stress, and he is used to a crisis-ridden environment. He has insomnia, nervousness, and is reluctant to contact strangers. If someone approaches him in a daze, Johnson will attack the other party conditioned reflexively.
Federik had "foresight" and hired a psychiatrist for Johnson.
Well, it is also a person under the control of the Morensa family.
After Johnson was brought back to the United States, Federick became his official guardian and hired a tutor for him to teach at home. Except during the filming of "The Abandoned", Johnson basically did not go out, and his psychological problems gradually recovered.
Now seventeen-year-old Johnson is no longer thin, his height jumped a bit in the months after the shooting, and the changes in the bones caused slight changes in the contours of the face, even if he returned to his hometown in South Saskatchewan, It is estimated that not many people can recognize him.
Today is the premiere of "Forsaken". Johnson did not attend. He was going to watch the live broadcast at home, but was told by Federic's driver that Mr. Wolf Morenza wanted to see him.
During the time Johnson returned to the United States, he already knew what kind of man Federick's uncle was, through overhearing discussions and the manpower and resources Federick used to bring him back from China.
Saying no to fear is false.
After such a long period of silence, Johnson thought that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, and as a result, he smashed a big "surprise" head-on, and the godfather of the East Coast wanted to see him.
See you alone, without Federic to accompany him.
Johnson came obediently.
As soon as he saw Wolf Morenza, his intuition alerted Johnson to danger.
Even if Federick's driver, agent, and assistant were not from the Morenza family, they crossed the road on Wolff's side. They were very respectful to Wolff. Johnson couldn't count on the person who brought him. .
This villa is far away from the city, and a large area of woods nearby belong to private land. It is surrounded by high guardrails. Johnson came in by car. Along the way, he saw many people with guns and wolf dogs on patrol.
Johnson didn't want to cause trouble for Federick. He usually found that Mr. Morenza respected the uncle when he talked. Johnson was even more uneasy, but he was nervous. He still raised his head and resisted the urge to step back, and let his cold and dangerous eyes look at him. own.
"Sit." Wolf pointed to the chair next to him.
The words were light and casual, as if they had no weight.
Johnson was stunned for a moment. He found that Wolff's voice was very similar to Federico's. Does this family have specialties in vocal range? Your voice is different from others...
In fact, Wolfe doesn't care what Johnson behaves here. He has long known the situation from Johnson's tutor and psychiatrist, and he pays close attention to everything around Federick.
"It's time to start."
The man standing by the living room wall immediately turned off the light.
When it got dark, Johnson didn't react when he found the home theater screen in the living room lit up.
The familiar piano melody, the BGM that appeared in the trailer of "The Abandoned", Johnson is very familiar with it because he has watched it many times, but the picture is dark, the city is immersed in the night, quiet and peaceful.
Feature film!
Johnson was refreshed, he hadn't seen it yet!
In order to protect Johnson, Federico deliberately added the Morensa family to erase Johnson's participation in the later propaganda and try to dilute the presence of the protagonist's teenage actor. Anyway, the name Johnson Brown has a high repetition rate in the United States.
Wolff was able to watch the film sitting at home without having to go to the premiere, not surprising to Johnson, who was quickly drawn to the lead role on screen preparing to audition for the symphony orchestra.
The magic of sound, the breeze and drizzle brewing under the fingertips, and sometimes the violent thunder.
After watching this filming, Johnson suddenly realized that the actors in the shot were really completely different from the scene. The camera and the later period seemed to have tapped out all the charm of Federico.
He turned his head subconsciously, and with the help of the light on the screen, Johnson saw that Wolff looked more serious than before.
—So Mr. Morenza's uncle came to watch this movie today
Johnson was in a trance.
"What's in a daze?" Wolff's tone was dissatisfied.
Johnson quickly turned his attention to the screen, and soon his eyes followed the "protagonist". The peaceful life was suddenly broken, and disasters and monsters appeared at the same time... Back to reality, the death of friends, the corpses all over the street, people's Mourning and weeping filled the city.
The story progressed slowly, Johnson involuntarily clenched his fingers, and his expression changed with the picture.
When the monster slammed into the screen with a huge mouth, Johnson almost jumped up and waved his arms to deal with the monster, but fortunately he restrained himself, because there was no familiar feeling when activating the ability.
Wolff saw Johnson's teenager's movements in his eyes.
Halfway through the movie, Johnson's chair left its original position, because sometimes he leaned back heavily, and sometimes he couldn't help leaning forward to see the details of the picture. This is not a movie theater, and the chair is not fixed.
By chance, he met the "protagonist" of the U.S. Power Bureau, and was also exposed by the person in charge, suspecting that he was a wanted serial murderer, because one of the victims was his high school classmate.
The recollection is very short, and the content is similar to Johnson's real experience, an orphan who suffered from school violence. The only difference is that there is a teacher who admires the protagonist's musical talent, and has been subsidizing and occasionally taking care of him.
Johnson's acting skills are very average, and there are not too many shots for him, but the editing is very clever. The stylist even designed the same small bright red mole on the auricles of Johnson and Federick. The makeup artist deliberately created the same eyebrow shape and eyes (mainly drawing Johnson to look like Federick), and the two people of different ages have similar appearance.
Johnson stared at the screen in a daze.
He didn't expect the final result to be so good. The boy who huddled in the corner and didn't speak, touched the wound on his head, carefully took out a sheet music from his arms, drew a grid of keys under the window sill with chalk, and opened his palms. Practice it.
The light is warm, the fingers are skillfully jumping on the "keys", the darkness is behind the boy, and in front of him is the blooming flowerbed and the bright sunshine.
This "fingering exercise" was not filmed by Johnson, and the crew found another piano student as a temporary stand-in.
Johnson was a little dazed. In the picture he recalled, the figure of the boy gradually elongated. The camera was placed on the shadow on the ground. The picture flickered, and the camera was raised along the long shadow. It has been replaced by a young and handsome performer standing under the school's flowerbed. , slender fingers stroked the old windowsill.
"Johnson."
The characters in the movie shout the protagonist's name from a distance.
The boy watching the movie trembled slightly, as if he truly realized that this disaster movie is a portrayal of reality, and he is connected with the fate of Federico Morenza.
Wolfe stood up silently and left the living room where the movie was being shown. Johnson didn't notice.
Arriving outside the villa, a respectful man in a suit lights Wolf a cigar.
"Sir, now you can rest assured that this boy will indeed not be a threat to Mr. Morenza."
"The relationship is too good, isn't it a threat?" Wolf said coldly. Federico almost lost his life trying to save this kid. If he hadn't eaten food with special effects in the abandoned world, he was only addicted to drugs. K's life is about to be ruined.
Wolf was the first to see the film, and even if it came out, he knew what the follow-up plot would be.
"The person who played the leader of the Chinese dragon group..."
Wolff pondered with a sullen face. The first film about Li Fei was not much, not too much, adding up to about 15 minutes. After all, the main story of the first part of "The Abandoned" was still in the United States. Wolff couldn't see what kind of person Li Fei was from the movie, it was a bit tricky.
"The information is correct, the Balrog is protected by the Chinese Dragon Group! Ah, sorry, it is the protection of the Chinese Red Dragon." The man in the black suit was a little dizzy. The Red Dragon was the code name for a while and the name of the secret department. The reality is the same as the movie setting. Confusion, it's so troublesome.
"He's stress-free, high-profile, and doesn't care about the consequences of the film's global release."
The former power users could not wait to dig a hole to hide themselves.
Wolf's subordinates thought about it and put forward their opinions: "Maybe he is used to being the focus and standing under the eyes of everyone?"
"No, it is fearless, very courageous, and very capable." Wolf smoked a cigar. The power behind the Balrog is undoubtedly the red dragon, but as a very thoughtful person, he created a huge mysterious organization in the abandoned world. people, will fully believe in the state apparatus
"Chinese, it's really hard to understand." Wolff flicked the ashtray with his hands down, and the winking subordinates immediately held the ashtray, and the timing and location were just right.
Put the cigar in your mouth again, Wolf said suddenly. "Find out the video of the conflict at sea on the day Abandoned World disappeared, and I want to check it carefully."
This kind of government secret information, it is obviously very troublesome for people who are not the first to do it.
Three days later, Wolf Morenza got the image captured by the satellite.
When Federic returned from his private jet, he pushed open the door, and the smoking room seemed to be on fire.
"Cough, uncle?"
It took half a minute to turn on the ventilation before Federic walked in again.
Wolf looked at the screen, he couldn't find any problems in the video data, but his guess became clearer.
—Because the Devourer was swept away by the Abandoned World, Li Fei, who was in a panic and almost collapsed, would recover so quickly, and filming as if nothing had happened, willing to live the life of an ordinary person
"Federick, don't go to China again."
"Huh?" Frederick wondered.
Wolff glanced at him, but didn't say that he suspected that Li Fei's temperament was distorted by stimulation. He might have been plotting revenge, and sooner or later, he would make a big mess. What Wolff said was the second, more direct guess.
"The Devourer may not be dead."
"… "
Federick was very guilty. He didn't tell his uncle about it. When he picked Johnson home, he saw Jian Hua at the airport, but he didn't say anything when he came back.
"The relationship between the Devourer and the Balrog is extraordinary." Federic was embarrassed. "Johnson once heard between them at night... er, they were in the dungeon of the Turkish Plateau."
Wolff was startled, and then felt that it was just as reasonable as his own guess.
Federick is not worried that his uncle will tell the secret, but out of fear of the Devourer, he subconsciously wants to keep familiar relatives and friends away from this name.
"Actually, the Devourer, in reality, is someone close to Li Fei, who is his stuntman. In the film, the major of the Chinese Dragon Group may have some scenes of the Devourer, not the Balrog."
Wolff was intrigued.
"uncle?"
"You go to rest and talk about other things later." Wolf said in a commanding tone.
Well, there's a new reason to watch the movie a few more times tonight.
