256 Chapter 256
The humble farmhouse was empty, although judging by the furnishings, everything was quite normal until something happened.
When Calvin and the others entered the room, they found that there was even dinner in the kitchen that had not yet been fully prepared.
The table was stacked with rotting and spoiled food, and the omelette on the stove had long since turned into a layer of char on the pitch-black pot, and it was indeed the luck of the house that there was no fire.
An old couple lay on the carpet in a limb posture (to which Izak would later be grateful), their blood long dried - and until the last moment before death, they were still scuffling with each other as hard as they could.
Calvin couldn't help but feel chills all over his body just by standing in the doorway and looking at the miserable condition of the owner of the house.
Once again, something in Joshua's mind slowly began to ferment.
"Calvin. ”
Red Deer suddenly grabbed Calvin's hand and gently squeezed his palm.
"You don't have to look, we'll take care of this. ”
He said.
Red Deer really didn't have any lies at this point, but for Izak and others, the so-called good handling was to directly wrap the two corpses in a blanket and throw them directly to the back of the house.
Calvin watched as his brother neatly tied the foul-smelling carpet with his hands and feet, his wings flapping gently behind him.
The group then had to settle down in the greasy, uncleaned kitchen.
As for the matter they were going to investigate, it was much simpler than Calvin had thought, and Han and Red Deer found out.
They focused on the head of a once-well-known cruise line......
Just a few years ago, it would have been hard for the average person to imagine that someone like Salomon Eggleston would be imprisoned for being caught in a huge financial fraud – he was once a regular on the rich list, and as the head of an established luxury tanker group, his ideas were quite young, and his popularity on social networks far exceeded that of his own kind.
Of course, there are also people who vaguely feel that Salomon Eggleston is a little too frivolous and radical, but no one can deny that it is precisely because of his amazing popularity and publicity ability on the Internet that the former "Tomorrow's Son" super cruise ship will get so much attention...... And investment.
Salomon Eggleston declared that the Supership "Tomorrow's Son", once completed, would be the most luxurious and massive maritime marvel on the entire planet.
【“…… I hate it when people call it a 'cruise ship,' because no one can see it and think it has anything to do with that kind of light tin boat. I tend to think of the Tomorrow's Son as a movable artificial island, a steel city on the sea, or a man-made Noah's Ark. ”】
Joyce's fingers moved slightly, and he pressed the pause button. On the laptop screen, Salomon Eggleston's face stops at a somewhat amusing angle.
It made him look somewhat funny, but in any case, he looked much better than the neurotic and crazy state he later showed in court, talking about his new cruise ship construction plan in front of reporters.
"I remember the ...... of this cruise ship"
Isaac rubbed the bridge of his nose and thought back with some difficulty.
Han took his words.
"Very sensational, and very expensive. The guy's group of investors got a huge sum of money from him - saying they were going to build the city of his dreams on the sea. He claimed that the cruise ship could accommodate tens of thousands of people to stay on board for a long time, because it was big enough that the inside of the hull could even build a perfect ecological cycle or something......"
"Anyone believes?"
Joyce, who hadn't paid attention to Salomon Eggleston a few years ago, had an incredible look on his always cold face after hearing the old-fashioned, talk about the "Tomorrow's Sons cruise ship." l
"Of course, just like someone claims that red wine can help with antioxidants, when a lie is repeated a thousand times, there are always a whole bunch of fools who will believe it. Of course, in the end, the unlucky guy didn't really make anything. Han shrugged, his eyes squinting at the motionless man on the screen,
"Wait, I remember he committed suicide in prison. ”
Joyce's brow furrowed, and he whispered.
Han lowered his head and looked at the man's profile, and he shrugged.
"Of course, he took almost 10 billion dollars, but no one knows where it ended up...... No one had actually seen the so-called 'Tomorrow's Son', but Salomon insisted that he had built the ship even before he died. But no one was able to pry money out of his mouth anyway or where the damn ship went......"
By this time, even Calvin, who had no interest in current affairs, slowly remembered the mess that the man had left behind before he committed suicide.
"Maybe it's not suicide either. ”
He said.
For a moment, there was silence in the dilapidated farmhouse.
Calvin silently looked at the people around him, and was not surprised to see a look of shock on their faces.
"Oh my God. Han rubbed his face, "Salomon Eggleston didn't lie. ”
Joyce then said, "He's done build the Tomorrow's Son, but ......"
Joyce didn't need to say the words "but" after that, everyone in the room understood what he was going to say.
For a moment, everyone's faces (except for Red Deer, who was as calm as ever) looked a little strange.
"My God......" Han was silent for a long time before he sighed softly, "I never knew that Salomon was actually a member of the Advent Sect. ”
"He doesn't need to be. Calvin said expressionlessly, "He just needs to control Salomon Eggleston's mind, let him build that ship, and then dedicate it to him." ”
After the words fell, the others were silent for a while, thinking about the money and people involved in the ship, and then how much manpower and material resources the government spent in the end to follow the clues that the "Son of Tomorrow" once existed...... No one can fail to marvel.
No one really wants to think about how many people Joshua could control without knowing it, or how many people he already controlled.
"Bang Bang Bang
A few soft clapps broke the silence.
With a calm smile on his face, Red Deer looked at the others as if nothing had happened.
"You see, at least we have good news, we don't have to look at the damn stuff now, we just have to figure out where that ship is. And blowing up a cruise ship is much more spectacular than blowing up a building on land, isn't it?"
As he spoke, Red Deer naturally put his arm around Calvin's shoulder.
Isaac looked at him coldly.
Red Deer's expression became extraordinarily gentle and affectionate.
He stared at Calvin beside him, and from the latter's suddenly pale face, Calvin already knew what he was talking about.
That fire in Angel Town.
There's also the Blue Diamond Royal Hotel in the seaside town.
It must be said that Calvin has indeed destroyed quite a few of the Advent locations.
"Don't forget, we don't know where the damn ship is. ”
Isaac said coldly to Red Deer.
"Yes, we've all guessed it by now, that little monster is hiding on that damn cruise ship. However, the sea is very wide, and the ship could be anywhere. Moreover, we now do not know anything about the actual situation of the ship, except that it is really huge. Not even the federal government actually found the ship, and we ...... We're probably running out of electricity and gasoline, and now we're looking for a goddamn ship in the middle of nowhere?"
"I can find it. ”
Calvin abruptly interrupted Isaac.
Immediately afterward, he felt everyone's eyes converge.
And that even includes Red Deer.
Calvin took a deep breath.
“…… Joshua could have invaded other people, so I could theoretically find a way to hack the crew of that ship. They know for sure where they are. ”
"It's too dangerous. ”
"No, I can't. ”
Isaac and Red Deer said almost in unison.
Isaac subconsciously glanced at Red Deer more, and then immediately turned his face to Calvin in disgust.
"Intruding into other people's minds? Do you fuck know how ugly you looked just now-"
"You've never really embraced and exercised that power for so many years, and there's no way Joshua wouldn't have noticed your coming," Red Deer said, "and you're likely to be tainted by his spirit." ”
"But we don't have anything else to do, do we?"
Calvin said wearily.
"We have to quicken our pace......," Calvin said, looking at Joyce and Han, "you think so too, don't you? Think of the couple we saw in the living room, I don't want to see anything like that again." Every little time we delay, the people on the outside will continue to be used by Joshua as a cathartic toy, ruining their lives completely. ”
With that, Calvin shifted his gaze to Red Deer's face.
He looked deeply at the red deer's eager eyes, and in those turquoise pools of water, there was a glint of antiquity for killing and destruction.
Calvin found that he could not hate such a red deer.
"Would you hate me for being polluted?"
He asked.
Reddeer smiled slightly, and he leaned over and kissed Calvin lightly on the lips.
"You know I won't. He said.
Isaac pushed his chair away, got up angrily, and rushed to the window.
But when Calvin prepares to do another contrarian snooping and intrusion in front of everyone, Isaac remains silent and does not object (though he has been smoking like crazy, as if that would calm him down).
The others emptied the table and let Calvin lie flat on it, and he found himself a fairly comfortable way, then slowly closed his eyes.
At first, all he had in his head was a mess, the rotting corpses lying on the carpet of the people who were walking around the streets like zombies......
But gradually, a familiar feeling emerged.
Calvin's eyes suddenly opened in his own consciousness.
