Entering the West End, Benjamin slowed the car. The social divisions in Barton's West End are very straightforward. The high-ranking people are near the Charles River. The further west along the Charles River, the more noble the status. People like Barton and Quinn are deep in the West End, while Quest is in the West End. Nearby to the east.
After confirming his identity, Benjamin's truck was able to drive into the manor. Quest's style was much simpler than Quinn's. The front yard only had a white stone path, with flat straw mats on both sides, and no landscaping such as gardening or fountains. .
Under the leadership of the servant, Zach and Benjamin walked inside. I don't know if the owner is a younger generation. The interior style is completely different from Barton's gorgeousness and Quinn's tradition. It is also different from James Lang's. Similar to Si's stiff modern art style.
Chaotic black, white and metallic lines decorate the wall, giving people a sense of visual confusion. A man of about thirty years old stood at the back of the main hall as if he suddenly appeared from the wall, "You are here."
Quest's eyes were heavily darkened, and it looked like he hadn't rested for several days. A man in formal attire hurriedly walked over from the side hall, holding a document in his hand. As soon as he handed it to Quest, he was pushed away by him. He said coldly: "Yuri can wait!"
Zach bowed slightly and saluted, with a smile on his face: "Is Mr. Quest busy?"
"No." Quest directly pushed away the person who seemed to be his assistant and motioned to Zach and Benjamin, "Follow me."
The two looked at each other and followed Quest.
Quest did not go to the second floor. According to federal custom, the living room is usually on the second floor. Zach and Benjamin frowned and observed their surroundings without asking questions.
There was no servant following the three of them. The assistant could only wait in the main hall with an anxious look, the documents in his hands were crumpled. It seems that Quest is really dealing with some important work, and the visit of Grande's 'brother' is intrusive. But Quist himself clearly thinks 'Grand' is more important.
Passing through the front hall of the manor and entering the atrium, there is still a simple lawn, with a pool table and some metal racks for barbecues in the corner, and the swimming pool in the center. As expected, young people have more realistic needs.
The three of them walked all the way to the back of the swimming pool. There was a triangular suite with only one floor. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were covered by off-white curtains.
Quest glanced at the two of them, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and pushed the door open.
There were only three or four servants standing in this strangely shaped room. When they saw their master coming in, they all stood up and bowed.
"Get out!" Quest waved his hand and gave the order.
Zach and Benjamin didn't think much of Quest's style of conduct, but they noticed that each servant had an injury. The two of them clearly walked towards their target. Inside the suite, there were two people tied to two beds. Yes, tied.
Black belts were buckled on people wearing gray bondage clothing, a man and a woman struggling and twisting.
Their arms were covered with sleeves that were too long and crossed tightly tied to their chests. The black leather belts were tight on the ankles, caps, waist, chest, neck, and forehead, and the tight metal buckles clicked as the two twisted. Their mouths were sealed with leather masks, and their eyes were bloodshot. They obviously noticed someone coming and desperately wanted to raise their heads to see who it was.
Neil looked pretty good, but Daphne's golden hair was spread out and tangled together. She looked at the two people approaching with wide eyes, and a whimpering sound came from under the leather mask covering her face. She was afraid !
The movement on Neil's side also became louder. He tried desperately to turn his head, his dark pupils pulled the entire eyeball, and bloodshot streaks were pulled out from the corners of his eyes. He glared fiercely at the two people leaning against Daphne. If he wasn't restrained by a belt, Zach believed that this guy would definitely come over and bite him!
Zach glanced at Benjamin, who was also frowning, and could now understand why Quest placed the two of them far away from the main room.
Zach stretched out his hand to loosen Delphine's mask. This scene was so uncomfortable.
"She will bite you." Quest stood there, his clenched fists trembling slightly. It wasn't that he didn't dare to get close, but that he was afraid that he would lose control if he got close. What would you do if your loved one went crazy? Look at Quist, this is how he looks when he is extremely excited but at a loss.
Zach stopped and looked at Quest, "You can leave now and leave it to us. If there are any problems, we will come to you."
"What are you going to do?!" If you ignore the dark circles under his eyes, Quist is a very attractive man. Hard lines, deep eyes, but now his whole body exuded a hysterical aura, rather like a gloomy murderer.
Zach curled his lips and just looked at him without answering.
Quest's shirt-tight shoulders were shaking. He pursed his lips tightly and could hear the sound of air being sucked in.
After a brief silence, Quest turned and left the suite.
"The atmosphere is really tense." Benjamin shrugged.
Zach tilted his head.
The descriptions given by James and Quist were too vague, and neither of the two people in the newspapers were so completely crazy! Now that it was clear that Neil and Daphne were both mentally ill and violent, their bondage meant they needed radical treatment.
Zach hesitated for a moment, then bent down to approach Daphne who kept struggling within the range, but looked at Neil next to him, "We are here to help you, and we are the ones who find you. You can trust us. Understand. Blink once, don’t know, blink twice.”
Four bloodshot eyes stared at Zach.
Zach shook his head, straightened up, took out a metal wine bottle from his pocket, and took a sip. He was going to use a more human method, but it seems that he still uses a vampire method.
Benjamin walked towards Neil and stood between the two beds, blocking Neil's sight.
Redness spread from Zach's pupils, covering the entire irises, "Daphne, we are here to help you. Next, I will remove your mask and ask you some questions. You have to answer me..."
Zach did not continue, he frowned and the red in his eyes faded. Benjamin also frowned, looking at Daphne who still looked terrified even when Zach used the Charming Eye. The thing the vampire wanted to implant into her brain was blocked by her own thinking, and the charm failed. .
The essence of Charming Eyes is to implant false memories, which can be as short-term as a momentary decision, or long-term as long as a person's entire life.
It's very powerful, but do you still remember the first step of Charming Eyes? Create a memory that can escape the brain's elimination, and the only memory that the brain will accept is what the brain thinks is reasonable.
How to define what a madman considers reasonable? Maybe the madman himself knows and can ask.
Zach took another sip of wine and walked towards Neil. He did not use the Charming Eye directly, but looked at the man who had been struggling more fiercely than Daphne from the beginning with the most sincere eyes.
"Neal, we are here to help. We need to know what happened before we can help you. Can you understand what I am saying?"
Neil was still struggling, looking at Zach with bloodshot eyes, and Zach tried to read the emotions in such eyes.
"Do you want to protect Daphne?" Benjamin suddenly said.
Neil's eyes suddenly shifted, his body stopped twisting, and he looked at Benjamin who was speaking.
Benjamin glanced at Zach and gave a slight signal. The two moved aside to block Daphne's body. Benjamin continued to talk to Neil, "Do you want us to untie her?"
Neil stared at Benjamin and then at Daphne, his bloodshot eyes moved back and forth several times before blinking.
"But we can't," Benjamin continued. "She's unstable right now."
Benjamin put his palm on Neil, who suddenly started to twist and struggle again, forcing him to listen to his words, "She will hurt herself. You don't want to see her hurt herself, right?"
Neil's physical struggle stopped again, and then immediately became violent again.
This brief change means that he still has the ability to think.
"If we knew what happened and what made her lose her mind, maybe we could help stabilize her so she wouldn't hurt herself." Benjamin continued, "Do you hear what I'm saying?"
Neil's struggle stopped again and he blinked.
Without waiting for Benjamin's signal, Zach's eyes had turned red and met Neil's eyes, "We are here to help Daphne. In order to help her, we need your help, and you will help us."
The emotion in Neil's eyes calmed down amid the intensity, but it seemed like it was overkill. Now his pupils were dilated, and he just stared at the two red masses as if he was absent-minded. Combined with his current clothes, he looked like the dementia of a mentally ill patient who had just received radical 'treatment'. This shows that the charm was successful.
Zach was not distracted from thanking Benjamin for finding a breakthrough, staring at the tied person in front of him, "I will unmask you, I will ask you questions, and you will answer me."
The leather straps against Neil's forehead rubbed against his skin, making the head very inconspicuous. But the vampire does not need to confirm, these words are just to consolidate the effect of the charm.
Benjamin unbuckled the straps that stretched to the edge of the bed and loosened the restraints around Neil's neck and forehead. Zach's hands fumbled behind Neil's head and unzipped the mask.
"Remember, you are here to help Daphne." Zach's forehead twitched slightly. Under the mask, a rubber card slot was stuffed into Neil's mouth. Zach took out the card slot and threw it aside. The saliva-laced blood stained the white sheets.
A hoarse voice came out of Neil's throat, and Zach pinched his chin, not letting him cough, but keeping his eyes under the gaze of the Charming Eyes.
"Now, tell me what happened that day."
After an uncomfortable retching sound, Neil finally had the ability to say, "It, it attacked us!"
"It?" Zach and Benjamin frowned at the same time. Huanren is a human being, so it should be 'him'. But now there is no time for them to exchange glances. God knows if this Neil would bite off his tongue without the influence of the Charming Eyes. Fortunately, due to the influence of the Charming Eye, Neil's thinking was not beaten to pulp by his own brain.
"The teeth and claws... are as sharp as blades... It's black... big, like a dog!"
"Are you thinking of a wolf?"
Now is not the time to take care of Benjamin's emotions, Zach asked looking at the person in front of him.
