243 Chapter 243

"Calvin—"

Aisaac yelled at Calvin.

Compared to the wariness shown by Han and Joyce, he showed no fear before the series of paranormal phenomena that Calvin had caused.

In fact, if he hadn't forcibly rocked Calvin's shoulders and finally awakened him from that chaotic and tense state, no one knew what would have happened here.

With a bang, the metal table smashed into the ground with a heavy sound, and some of the data flew up and then fell again.

"Tell me, Izak, it's not true—you don't think these things are true, do you?"

Calvin turned his face as he stared into Aisak's eyes and asked word by word.

Isaac looked at his brother's overly sharp gaze, and his lips trembled.

Anyone in their sanity will have a logical conjecture in their mind after seeing that information.

Calvin's severed wings somehow found their way into the hands of the Adventists. They may have known about the unnatural abilities contained in Calvin's wings, so they forcibly implanted those wings into Joshua's body—

But here's the problem.

In what way did Calvin's wings pass to the Adventists? The only person Calvin could rely on at the time was the now-deceased Dr. Holden. The only person who could follow up on the wings was Dr. Holden.

Perhaps, in some corner that Calvin had not been aware of for so many years, Holden, an upright and kind illegal doctor, had been in contact with some people in the Adventists, and that pair of wings had been given to them by him.

Only in this way can we explain the bones in Joshua's body that belonged to Calvin,

But the idea is really terrible.

It was so terrible that Calvin was trembling until now.

Isaac stared at his brother, who was so fragile that it seemed as if he was about to shatter into powder in the next second, and a cramp in his chest.

He rubbed his face vigorously and let out an expletive.

"Hey, listen, this information is credible - no, calm down, Calvin, please listen to me, this information is credible, like those damn experiments, escaped test subjects or whatever, I've looked it up, it's true. Those experimental records of superpowers are also true, and your pair of wings, well, maybe there really are some unknown abilities......"

"Shut up, Isaac, I don't want to hear it. I don't trust these materials......" Calvin's cold gaze turned to Han and Joyce, "I don't trust them either." ”

Han smiled bitterly: "We have absolutely no ill will, Calvin, and we also want to find out about this matter." ”

"And take out the damn sect. And that monster that can control the human spirit. ”

Joyce quickly added.

But the explanations of the two did not make Calvin's hostility any lessened, on the contrary, Calvin's anger was already burning on Isaac.

"I've had enough, Isaac. ”

Calvin said indifferently.

"I'm getting out of here, I really can't stand this damn farce-"

Isaac grabbed him by the wrist.

"Hey, damn it...... Listen to me?! That information is true doesn't mean that Daddy betrayed us! It's all just speculation made by the two guys next to us. You know what kind of guy Daddy is, there's no way he's going to do that kind of thing. Something must have gone wrong...... We just don't know what that went wrong for a while. The most important thing you need to do now is calm down and then we'll figure it out together. Now is not the time to quarrel, bro, we have to get through this!"

“……”

Calvin felt a cold sweat in Aisak's palms.

His body froze and he stood in place for a few moments before he finally managed to control his emotions.

In fact, he knew that what Isaac said was right, but the fear and panic that had been piling up in his heart all these years had indeed reached a critical value.

The fact that Dr. Holden might have something to do with the Advent was the most fatal straw that almost crushed him completely.

In contrast, Joshua is a clone of him, and the supernatural abilities of that shit have become distant and insignificant—even without knowing this information, nothing will change what Calvin will do after that.

Yes, Calvin knew he was going to kill Joshua.

It wasn't out of hatred, fear or anything else, but a strong premonition.

Classical texts always say that the protagonist is burdened with a special fate, and Calvin once scoffed at this literary statement, but the moment he met Joshua, he realized that he had touched his own fate.

But then again, Joshua turned out to be a clone of him?

And his tragic past and life with that guy turned out to be the result of a ridiculous military experiment?

All right......

Calvin let out a long breath.

He admits that the realization made him very unpleasant.

In short, because of those materials, Calvin had to temporarily suspend the discussion with Isaac, Han and Joyce.

Perhaps to lighten the mood, Joyce prepared military cans and some compressed biscuits for Calvin and the others, which they heated up with an alcohol stove and replenished a little energy.

The smell of the stuff was horrible, and Calvin felt that his tongue was so wooden that he could hardly even make out what was swallowing in his throat.

If Heath was here, the man couldn't stand Calvin eating something like that in his sight.

The thought of Heath shook Calvin's heart.

He stood up and walked to the corner, checking Moser again. Lifting the blanket, the unconscious man's face didn't look as bad as it had been, but Calvin couldn't tell if it was because Messer was really getting better or because of the dim lights in the basement.

Calvin reached out and gently stroked Mosser's dry, cold cheek.

Wake up, buddy, and bring the rest of your buddies.

Calvin called out softly to him from the bottom of his heart.

Staring at the unconscious Moses, Calvin suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness...... He found that he had unwittingly become accustomed to the company of this man who was full of lies and was extremely dangerous.

And now, when the green-eyed man loses consciousness, the intense sense of unease and loss even makes Calvin feel a little terrifying.

Jean suddenly realized that even Isaac, his dearest brother, could not bring him true intimacy after the reunion.

But Reed could, Fugg could, Virgilli could, Heath and Moser could, even the "Red Deer" that made him shudder and fear. Without Calvin noticing it, his soul seemed to have fused with the man in his palm.

So much so that even the most brief absence of the other party will make Calvin feel extremely empty.

"Isn't it delicious?"

Isaac bit his spoon and stared at the corner, and Han Rou's inquiry came from his ears.

He paused for a moment before he came to his senses, and then realized that he had unconsciously stopped all his eating—well, it wasn't very difficult, and although Isaac felt like he was crazy with hunger, he had exactly the same assessment of the food Joyce had prepared as his brother.

"No, I just think...... I think that man ......"

Unconsciously, Isaac's attention was once again drawn to Calvin's gaze staring at the man.

His speech was a little fragmented, and he didn't notice that his words didn't match his words.

Han patted him on the shoulder.

"A piece of advice to you, don't meddle in your loved one's love casually, even if the other party finds a jerk. Otherwise, you'll be the one who becomes a jerk. ”

"Oh, it's not too much of a problem, Calvin isn't the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong—wait, in love? You mean in love? What the hell is that love, Calvin didn't say he was in love with that suspicious character—"

The can in Isaac's hand slammed down on the table, eliciting a strange glance from Calvin.

The two Holden brothers are just one step closer to a family war, but God may have other plans for these unfortunate bastards in the basement.

"Boom—"

An explosion suddenly came from not far away, interrupting the heavy fund in the basement.

The whole building trembled slightly, and the lights flickered.

It was clear that the explosion was not far from where Joyce and the others were.

Joyce's face changed, and he rushed to the equipment at the basement door, and called up the camera surveillance footage located on the ground. The screen shows smoke and fire in the dark night.

"Fuck it!"

After seeing everything displayed on the screen, everyone's faces turned gloomy.

Yes, the explosion was indeed very close to them, in fact the house that exploded was only one street away from Joyce's villa.

Surveillance cameras were even able to clearly capture the glass and insulation of the house as it collapsed in the explosion...... And the front lawn of the house.

It was a well-tended piece of turf, of course, it was a thing of the past, and after the people started to go crazy, there was a lot of clutter on the lawn, some small animal carcasses, and other things that wouldn't make people want to look closely.

And now the poor lawn was in even worse condition, and the dazzling flames and heat that erupted from the house quickly blew away the circle of grass that approached the house, and of course it was not bad—the worst of all the people in the black robes, the people who gathered on the lawn.

They didn't seem to realize how dangerous it was for a house that was burning and squirting shards of glass and furniture from it. They were even dancing and waving their limbs on the lawn of that house.

"Wow woo lala...... We are eternal sinners...... We are guilty......"

From Joyce's voice-gathering system came the muffled whispers of the men.

Within seconds, Calvin and the others saw the men suddenly stop all their movements, and then stagger, scrambling towards the expanding orange-red flames.

"Boom—"

There was probably some other □□ inside the house, and in an instant, there was a loud explosion that was enough to tear the eardrums. The flames that had been greedily licking the building swelled, quickly engulfing the staggering figures.

After a few seconds, the flames and air currents from the explosion faded slightly, and several of the people on fire were bouncing up and down the lawn, letting out screams of exhaustion.

Joyce reached out and turned off all surveillance video.

"Those people ......"

Han's face was unusually ugly, and he stared at the blackened display with a complicated expression.

"Just like before, completely insane. ”

Joyce said.

Calvin felt his heart pounding.

Those who have gone crazy...... Or rather, those who were controlled by his brother Joshua, were killed in front of him. Considering that Joshua's special abilities came from Calvin's bones in his body, it made Calvin feel that it was difficult to breathe.

"Why aren't you affected?"

Suddenly, Calvin looked back at Han and Joyce.

"What did I see...... Almost all of them were hypnotized. The doctors in the hospital, the patients, the people on the road, even your companions. Joshua's psychic intrusion was almost pervasive, and, I know, few could resist him—but you, and Isaac Aysac, were awake throughout. How did you do that?"

With each question, Calvin grew more suspicious in his voice.

"Because we weren't hypnotized. ”

Joyce replied to Calvin in his usual calm voice.

He returned to the metal table, and the others naturally followed—no one had ever spoken to each other, but in that moment, it was as if everyone had the same feeling: they didn't want to get anywhere near the surveillance cameras.

Even though the video cameras were turned off and the screen was only pitch black, the bright flames, the people who were silently engulfed in the flames, and the screaming humanoid torches were still deeply engraved in everyone's minds, and vaguely, as if there was still a trace of chilling evil floating in front of the screen.

"I was going to bring this up to you later, but now that you've already brought it up......"

Han heated up his coffee, and he piled about five more than five sugars into the dark brown liquid.

He gave Calvin a glass, and then explained in the still faint sound of screaming and burning from the outside world.

"We've all been lucky enough to escape the pervasive hypnotic messages because of something. ”

"What do you mean?"

Calvin wished his question wasn't so stupid, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"It's the damn hypnosis of the Adventists. ”

Isaac took over impatiently, looking more agitated than usual.

"I've heard that thing wasn't just hypnosis, but, oh, forget it, it doesn't matter - do you remember the Adventist signs? churches, orphanages, homeless canteens...... As soon as you go out and walk, you will find that the world seems to have been taken over by the Adventists. Those charities seem to be good for the poor, don't they? And the damn, overwhelming posters, there are literally more evangelists on the road than the sewer Reed rats. Many people are not believers in the Sect of the Devil, but they walk on the road, sit in cafes, drive, watch TV, and even order pay channels in hotels...... They have been unconsciously seeing the signs of Adventism. ”

At this, Isaac smiled unusually bitterly.

And those signs are a sign, a sign that belongs to Joshua. ”

Han walked up, and he began to flip through the mountains of data on his desktop.

He explained in place of Itzhak.

"That's a spiritual trigger, in fact, without seeing those Adventist signs, and those bullshit sermons, your brain is invisibly hypnotized - if you think of the human brain as a computer, then hypnosis for a long time is the 'back door' that Joshua left inside the human brain, as long as he has this 'back door', he can bypass the subjective consciousness of the individual, go straight to the bottom of the brain, and from there start to control the behavior of the individual. 166 Reading Network
