Chapter 174: Trial
readx;?Johnson. Brown was nervous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was surrounded by tall men in black suits, with a classical fireplace in a bright European-style living room and an Italian man with an opal ring sitting on an expensive leather couch.
Johnson quietly compared in his heart, and the male models in the studio were not as dazzling as the men in front of him sitting casually.
This "Monsieur Morenza" is like a precipitated imprint of time, with a faint cigar smell, and the cufflinks of the silk shirt reflect the brilliance of the crystal chandelier.
That casual attitude and indifferent eyes made Johnson, who had excellent intuition, feel his scalp tingle.
--It was dangerous, every muscle in his body tensed, and he shouted to run away.
After experiencing danger and death in the abandoned world, Johnson has grown a lot, and after returning to the United States, he was forced to meet with many people, FBI investigators, senior officials of the General Security Administration, and people in the military, all of whom have a common problem of liking to dominate the discourse. Whether he guided gently or spoke in a commanding tone with a straight face, Johnson didn't take them seriously.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for the Adept to manage.
Where there is no order, the supernatural loses the reverence of ordinary people for the state apparatus. What's more, even their thinking has changed, and other humans are just moving pieces of flesh in their eyes. The stronger the power, the more people kill in the forsaken world, the more serious the situation becomes.
Among the living S-class abilities, Jian Hua's original personality was different from ordinary people, and he had mushrooms to toss, so he didn't need to abandon his humanity and principles to fight for food in order to survive, so he was not affected much.
Li Fei is an excellent actor, and this excellence is not only in 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 painter who was sensitive and hesitant and committed suicide in the end. Trying to figure out and shape the characters so hard, Li Fei has never confused the character with himself, he can get in and out, and he enters the play in a second.
This is a talent, and now this talent has saved Li Fei, he can easily adjust his psychology, and Jian Hua is always with him, and there is not even a factor to stimulate his spirit.
Johnson was not so lucky.
His psychological problems, mainly manifested in the after-effects of traumatic stress, are accustomed to a dangerous environment, he has insomnia, mental tension, and is not very willing to contact strangers, if someone approaches him in a daze, Johnson will reflexively attack the other party.
Federico had already "foreseen" and called Johnson a psychiatrist.
Well, also under the control of the forces of the Morenza family.
After Johnson was brought back to the United States, Federico became his official guardian and hired a tutor for him to take home classes.
Now 17 years old Johnson is no longer thin, his height has jumped in the months after the shooting, and the changes in his bones have changed the contours of his face so slightly that even if he returns to his hometown in South Sulsa, not many people will recognise him.
Today was the premiere of "The Forsaken", Johnson did not attend, he was going to watch the live broadcast at home, only to be told by Federico's driver, Wolf. Mr. Morenza wants to see him.
By the time Johnson was back in the United States, he had learned what kind of man Federico's uncle was through overheard discussions and the human and material resources that Federico had used to bring him back from China.
It is false to say that you are not afraid.
After not moving for such a long time, Johnson thought that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, and as a result, a big "surprise" came to him, and the godfather of the East Coast wanted to see him.
See you alone, without Federico with him.
Johnson obediently came.
As soon as I saw Wolfe. Morenza, instinctively alerted Johnson to danger.
Federico's drivers, agents, and assistants, even if they weren't from the Morensa family, had crossed the road on Wolff's side, and they were so respectful to Wolff that Johnson couldn't count on anyone who brought him in.
The villa was far from the city, and there was a large wooded area near it that was privately owned, surrounded by a high protective fence, and Johnson came in in a car, and saw many people with guns and wolfdogs patrolling along the way.
Johnson didn't want to cause trouble for Federico, and he found that Mr. Morensa respected the uncle in his words, and Johnson was even more uneasy, but he was nervous, and he still looked up at the urge to retreat, and let the cold and dangerous gaze look at him.
"Sit." Wolf gestured to the chair next to him.
The words are breezy and careless, as if they have no weight.
Johnson was stunned, he found that Wolfe's voice was very similar to Federico, does this family have a special feature in vocal range? They all speak differently than others......
In fact, Wolf 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 Federik.
"It's time to go."
The person standing by the living room wall immediately turned off the light.
It was dark, and before Johnson could react, he found that the home theater screen in the living room was lit up.
The familiar piano melody, the BGM that appeared in the trailer of "Forsaken", Johnson is very familiar because he has watched it many times, but the picture is dark, and the city is immersed in the night, quiet and peaceful.
Movie Feature!
Johnson was in good spirits, he hadn't seen it yet!
In order to protect Johnson, Federico deliberately added the Morence family to erase Johnson's participation in the later publicity, and try to dilute the presence of the protagonist as a teenager. The name Brown has a high repetition rate in the United States.
Not surprising to Wolfe's ability to watch the film from the comfort of his home without having to attend the premiere, Johnson was quickly drawn to the lead actor in the symphony orchestra on screen as he prepared to audition.
The magic of sound, a breeze and drizzle brewing under the fingertips, sometimes like a violent thunder.
Johnson watched this shooting, and he suddenly realized that the actors in the camera were really completely different from the scene, and the camera and the post-production seemed to excavate all the charm of Federico.
He subconsciously turned his head, and with the help of the light of the screen, Johnson saw that Wolfe's expression was much more serious than just now.
- So Mr. Morensa's uncle came to see the movie today?
Johnson was in a bit of a trance.
"What's the fuss?" Wolfe's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
Johnson quickly turned his attention to the screen, and soon his eyes followed the "protagonist", and the peaceful life was suddenly broken, and disasters and monsters appeared at the same time...... Back to reality, the city is filled with the death of friends, the streets are full of corpses, and the cries of people are crying out.
The plot slowly progressed, Johnson involuntarily clenched his fingers, and his expression changed with the picture.
Johnson almost jumped up and waved his arm at the monster's majestic jaw, but luckily he restrained himself, because he didn't feel that familiar when he activated the ability.
Wolf watched Johnson's teenage movements.
Halfway through the movie, Johnson's chair left its original position, because he sometimes leaned back, and sometimes he couldn't help leaning forward to look at the details of the picture, this is not a movie theater, and the chair is not fixed.
Coincidentally, he met the "protagonist" of the American Strange Energy Bureau, and was also exposed by the person in charge, suspecting that he was a wanted serial torture murderer, because one of the victims was his high school classmate.
The memories are short, similar to Johnson's real-life experience, of an orphan who was subjected to school violence, except that there was a teacher who admired the protagonist's musical talent and supported him and occasionally took care of him.
Johnson's acting skills are very average, and there are naturally not too many shots given to him, but the editing is very clever, and the stylist even designed the same small bright red mole on the pinna of Johnson and Federik, plus the makeup artist deliberately made the same eyebrow shape eyes (mainly to draw Johnson like Federico), and the two people of different ages have similar appearances.
Johnson stared at the screen in a daze.
He didn't expect the final effect to be so good, the young man who shrunk in the corner and didn't speak, touched the wound on his head, carefully took out a music sheet from his arms, drew the key grid under the windowsill with chalk, and opened his palms to practice.
The light was warm, the fingers skillfully jumped on the "keys", the darkness was behind the boy, and in front of him was a blooming flower garden and bright sunshine.
This "fingering exercise" was not filmed by Johnson, and the crew found another teenager who was learning piano to be a stand-in temporarily.
Johnson was a little in a trance, the figure of the young man in the picture of the memory gradually elongated, the camera was placed on the shadow of the ground, the picture flickered, and the lens was raised along the long shadow, and it had been replaced by a young and handsome performer standing under the school's flower garden, slender fingers caressing the old windowsill.
"Johnson."
The characters in the movie shout the name of the protagonist from afar.
The teenager's body trembled slightly, as if he really realized that this disaster movie was a portrayal of reality. Morensa's fate was linked.
Wolf stood up silently and left the living room where the film was showing, and Johnson was completely unaware.
Outside, a respectful man in a suit lit a cigar for Wolfe.
"Sir, now you can rest assured that this boy really won't pose any threat to little Mr. Morensa."
"The relationship is too good, isn't it a threat?" Wolf said coldly that Federik almost lost his life in order to save this little ghost, if it weren't for the food with special effects in the abandoned world, and just became addicted to drugs, Federico's life would be ruined.
Wolf was one of the first people 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 ......"
Wolf pondered with a calm face, there are not many plots about Li Fei in the first part, and there are not a lot, adding up to about fifteen minutes, after all, the main plot of the first part of "The Forsaken" is still in the United States. Wolf couldn't tell what kind of person Li Fei was from the movie, which was a bit tricky.
"The information is conclusive, the Flame Demon is protected by the Chinese Dragon Group! Ah, I'm sorry, it's the protection of the Chinese Red Dragon. "The man in the black suit is a little dizzy, the red dragon is a code name for a while, and the name of the secret department for a while, and the reality is confused with the movie setting, which is really troublesome.
"He's stress-free, he's high-profile, and he doesn't care about the consequences of the film's global release."
The former Adepts were eager to dig a pit and hide themselves.
Wolfe's subordinates thought for a moment and put forward their opinion: "Maybe he is used to being the center of attention, standing under the gaze of everyone?" ”
"No, it's fearless, very courageous, and very capable." Wolf took a puff of his cigar, the power behind the fire demon was undoubtedly the red dragon, but as a person who had a lot of ideas to create a huge mysterious organization in the forsaken world, would he completely trust the state machine?
"Chinese, it's really hard to understand." Wolf flicked down the ash, and the eye-catching subordinate immediately picked up the ashtray, and the timing and position were just right.
Putting the cigar back in his mouth, Wolf said suddenly. "Find out the video of the conflict at sea on the day the abandoned world disappeared, and I want to take a closer look."
This kind of secret government information is obviously very troublesome for people who are not the first to do it.
Three days later, Wolf. It was only then that Morensa got the satellite imagery.
When Federico returned from a private jet, he pushed the door open, and the smoke in the smoking room seemed to be on fire.
"Ahem, uncle?"
Half a minute had passed before Federico re-entered.
Wolf stared at the screen, he couldn't find anything wrong with the footage, but his guess became clearer.
――Because the Devourer was swept away by the abandoned world, Li Fei, who was so frightened and almost collapsed, would recover so quickly, and film as if nothing happened, willing to live the life of an ordinary person?
"Federico, don't go to China again."
"Huh?" Federico was puzzled.
Wolf glanced at him, and didn't say that he suspected that Li Fei was stimulated and had a distorted temperament, and might have been plotting revenge and making a big mess sooner or later, Wolf said the second, more direct guess.
"The Devourer may not be dead."
“……”
Federik was so weak that he didn't tell his uncle about it, and when he took Johnson home, he saw Jane Hua at the airport, but he didn't say anything when he came back.
"The relationship between the Devourer and the Firefiend is extraordinary." Federico was embarrassed, "Johnson used to hear between them at night...... Well, then they were in the dungeons of the Turkish highlands. ”
Wolf was stunned for a moment, and then felt that this was as reasonable as his own guess.
Federico wasn't worried that his uncle would tell the secret, but out of fear of the Devourer, he subconsciously wanted to keep his familiar relatives and friends away from the name.
"In fact, the Devourer, in reality, is the person close to Li Fei, and he is his stuntman, and some of the shots of the major of the Chinese Dragon Group in the film may be the Devourer, not the Fire Demon."
Wolf was interested.
"Uncle?"
"You go and rest, and we'll talk about it later." Wolf spoke in a commanding tone.
Well, there's a new reason to watch the movie a few more times tonight.
