"I can handle this little scene, you should know that. ”

Joyce's face remained unchanged and said to Han.

Joyce's tone was rather calm, but for some reason Han seemed to be irritated (this overly intense emotion seemed particularly strange to him, given the lazy and detached attitude that Han had always displayed in front of Calvin).

"All I know is that someone is looking for death uncontrollably, what did you promise me? Joe, you-"

"That guy can't die, you heard that Mr. Angel say before, that man can trap Joshua. And we're always going to have to deal with the outside world, and no one can stay in this place for the rest of their lives, and the basement is not well fortified enough to withstand an external attack for a long time, I mean, if there is one in the future......"

Hearing his name appear in the conversation between the two men, Calvin couldn't help but glance at Han and Joyce more.

Joyce waved at Calvin with a calm face.

"You can lay him flat on the couch, and there's a railing under the cushions, and when you pull it out, it's going to be a bed...... The blanket should be under the couch, I forgot to sanitize it last week, but I guess your friends probably won't mind that. ”

Calvin was certain that Joyce was hesitant to say the word "friend."

"Thank you. ”

Calvin whispered to Joyce.

He was very careful to keep their communication to a minimum, not wanting to be involved in each other's disputes. Considering that the cause of the argument came from himself and Mosher, Calvin did not want to cause more trouble.

And Han's attitude always made him feel a little uneasy, he felt that Han seemed to know something, but he couldn't discuss it with others because he was there.

"You're terrified, Han, and you've lost your old ...... Sagacious. ”

Joyce turned around and continued to argue with Han without any obstacles.

"I'm scared?!You think I'm scared—"

"And you're sad. ”

Joyce interrupted Han, he stared into Han's eyes and said word by word, "What I want to say is that so am I." I feel sorry for John and Johnny. ”

He was talking about the two companions in the van who were caught off guard and killed by Joshua.

I have to say that Joyce does know Han very well.

Han was thoroughly struck by his words.

Han's lips pursed as he stared at Joyce, looking like he wanted to say something, but his throat was choked tightly.

"I just...... I ......"

Joyce stepped forward at this point and reached out to hug Han into his arms.

"We can get through it, man, and I know we can. ”

Next, he seemed to lean into Han's ear to continue speaking, but Calvin had no way of knowing the contents—Calvin had taken his eyes off the two men the moment Han suddenly paused.

It was a subtle feeling, but Calvin always felt that he himself shouldn't be in the same room as Han and Joyce.

But then again, this may have been a delusion of Calvin's own oversensitivity, at least Isaac who was also in the room didn't seem affected.

Calvin had barely turned his head when he met his brother's sharp gaze. In the poorly lit room, Officer Isaac Holden looked like an owl in a stress response.

"When do you think you'll be able to explain your business with him?"

Isaac said as he stared at Calvin.

Then he glanced at Moser and began grinding his teeth.

Calvin sighed. Without saying a word, he hugged Moser and walked towards the sofa bed in the corner.

Just as Joyce had said, Calvin pulled out the cot and found an old blanket under the couchbed.

Calvin wrapped Mercer's body in a blanket, hoping it would make him feel a little better - but it didn't seem to be of use at the moment.

Moser showed no signs of any better, and Calvin had to press his hand to his chest from time to time to make sure the man's heart was still beating.

After being unconscious, Moser became less like Moser - he looked like the most ordinary human male.

Handsome, but unconscious.

Calvin stared blankly at the man's pale, weak, and anguished face.

He was somewhat surprised to realize that when he was awake, the other party would show completely different expressions and temperaments because of the personalities of different personalities, but after losing consciousness, that "difference" gradually disappeared.

The man who appeared in front of him seemed so familiar, but the same was so strange.

For a moment, Mercer, Reed, Fugg, Vicili, Heath, ...... Even the "red deer", their looks and expressions merged and gathered into the person in front of him.

And this man did not seem to have the suave youth and vigor that Calvin remembered, those qualities that belonged to different personalities, and those qualities that were too distinct—Reed's sophistication, Fugg's coldness, Vicchi's youthfulness, Heathtu's gentleness, and Mosher's naïve obedience......

He's just him.

There were already traces of time in his true countenance, which, of course, could not detract from his extraordinary beauty, but it still amazed Calvin.

Calvin looked at him like this, as if for the first time he realized the true face of the other party - this is the real Reed.

"Calvin?"

Atzhak, who was standing nearby, suddenly called out Calvin's name.

He had been observing his brother, and the look on Calvin's face had made him feel a little uneasy at that moment.

"What is your relationship with him?"

Isaac knew it might anger Calvin, but he spoke anyway.

Calvin looked back at him as if he had just woken up from a dream, and after a moment's pause, a blank look appeared in his eyes.

"I don't know...... I don't really know. Calvin paused, then continued, "But I know that I can't leave him to die. He's important to me. Isaac can't say anything to you, the only thing I know for sure is...... He's important to me. ”

“……”

With each word Calvin spoke, Aisak's face slipped even more in the direction of the iron blue.

The unruly Officer Holden even felt a physiological reaction similar to angina, and he never imagined in his life that his brother, who was cold and detached from anyone, would have such a misty gaze and an illusory tone.

“……”

Isaac couldn't say anything for a while.

Others, however, do not have this problem.

"He's really important, assuming you haven't been hiding much from us before. ”

I don't know when, Joyce and Han have reached an agreement on the other side of the room.

Joyce came to the couch before Calvin knew it, and he seemed to have finally found an opportunity to take a closer look at Calvin—Calvin noticed that his gaze was also resting on his snow-white wings, and there was a hint of incomprehensible depth in his eyes.

Calvin tried his best to control his frowning, and before he could express his displeasure, Isaac had stepped forward to stand between Joyce and Calvin.

"That damn wing probably grew later, and when he was with me, he didn't have anything on his back. My father had already removed those disgusting wings for him! All along, he just wanted to be the most ordinary person, nothing more. The one who didn't let him go was the Adventists, the shit cult that was supposed to go to hell. ”

Aisaac said fiercely.

"Don't be nervous, Isaac, we all know that. ”

Han replied lazily.

"Still, we can all tell that after you left the house, you probably had a lot of things that Officer Isaac didn't know about?"

Joyce took Han's words as a matter of course and said.

After carefully observing Calvin's wings, his gaze crossed Calvin and stared inquiringly at the man on the couch.

"I think we can talk a little bit about it now...... About a lot of things. ”

Joyce said.

……

A few minutes later, Calvin draped himself in a blanket and stood beside a table piled high with various materials.

The roar of the diesel generator faintly came through the walls, and the lights flickered slightly due to the electricity, but that didn't prevent Calvin from reading the materials that Joyce and Han had individually selected and laid out on the top of the table.

Most of the materials were made of paper and were carefully sealed in yellow brown paper bags with the words "Top Secret" on them.

Although it is evident that they have been carefully kept, most of the extracted materials are inevitably starting to turn yellow. To make matters worse, many of the key passages and sentences on those sources have been completely blacked out with special black ink.

Calvin saw Joshua in several of them—as a baby, as a young man, as a young man, and as a large number of pictures from bloody plastic surgery.

Isaac was anxious about Joyce and Han coming up with the information.

"If you don't want to watch it, you don't have to. It's all in the past—"

"Officer Holden, you're trying to teach your brother to be an ignorant ostrich. ”

Han said indifferently.

Then he walked past Isaac and pulled out a few copies from the intricate mass of materials containing all kinds of information, and listed them in front of Calvin's eyes.

"Things are moving faster and worse than we thought, so let's save time and get to the point—Joshua isn't your brother, he's just a clone of you. ”

Calvin's pupils constricted in the light.

He looked uncontrollably at the picture of Joshua as a baby.

"Your mother wanted the deformed transformation in you to happen to Joshua again, but we all know you, and she failed. According to our speculation, because Joshua was a clone, he had many congenital physical and psychological defects. And the extremely harsh environment inside the Adventists made his situation even worse. ”

"That's why he's going to be a complete lunatic. ”

Calvin murmured. 166 Reading Network
