After the news of Alex's disappearance broke, people in the streets, alleys, restaurants and bars of major cities in the United States talked about this bizarre disappearance case and speculated a lot, and it seemed that every American had his own set of theories to explain the case.

Some people say that Alex just went into hiding and didn't go missing.

Some people also said that Alex must have been torn up by the kidnappers.

Some people said that the purpose of the kidnappers was to extort money, and they generally did not tear up the ticket lightly, and it must have been Alex who resisted in the process, so he was injured by mistake.

Some people also said that this is all nonsense, and it is definitely not a kidnapping, otherwise someone would have called to ask for a ransom. Someone must have offended the Carpenters, and then someone came to seek revenge, killed Alex and buried him.

There are also some people who deduce that Alex must have had some accident, such as a car accident, a dispute with life, and someone accidentally killed him. As a result, the body was disposed of, so people could not find it, and no one called to extort money.

There are all sorts of speculations, and there are those who deliberately provide false information to newspapers, the police and family members. There were even people who called to pretend to be kidnappers and demanded ransom from Carpenter's family.

The variety of sources has excited the news media, alarmed the Carpenter's family, and sent the police on the run like headless flies.

The case was soon compared to the kidnapping of Lindbergh's son, which was brought up because it was a landmark in the history of the FBI.

It gave the F.B.I. its first authority over local cases — Congress passed the Lindbergh Act, which bears Lindbergh's name.

The bill states that if a kidnapping is not solved after a week, the kidnapper is presumed to have crossed the state border, and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Britain) automatically has jurisdiction over the case.

Alex had been missing for a week, giving Director Hoover the authority to order the FBI to intervene in the case.

When the news media began to report the news, not only in the United States, but also in overseas media. In the headlines of those media outlets, people refer to Alex as "Magic Boy" or "Wonder Boy".

Telegrams, flowers, letters, and gifts flew in like snowflakes from all over the world, and people wanted to show their love for Alex in this way.

Alex's daily life. Including breakfast, clothes, items, etc., have become the news that major newspapers rush to. This made the Carpenter family extremely disgusted with the media, and in order to escape the media harassment, they even moved out of their New York mansion and spent money to buy a new residence.

At this time, Alex was being locked up in an unknown basement.

The place is spacious, and even though there are a lot of clutter, there is still a lot of open space. There is a pillar in the center. His feet were chained to his feet, and the other end of the chain was attached to a pillar.

The chain is very long, six or seven meters long. But there was still no way for him to go up the stairs to the door of the basement.

There is a small bed against the wall with a damp quilt on it, which can make people feel a little cold when you sleep at night. In the middle of the basement there is a light bulb. The light was pale yellow all the time, and he didn't know it was day and night.

The place was quiet and never heard a car passing by. It was probably in a very remote location, otherwise he would have been able to feel the slightest movement around him.

At first, Alex was a little flustered, he didn't know what the two bandits were going to do. I thought the other party was trying to kidnap and ransom, but they didn't let him call home at all. Demand a ransom payment of something.

So Alex thought that someone wanted to kill him, such as the 3 Klux Klan, but it felt a little wrong, if he wanted to kill him, he should have done it a long time ago, and he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to imprison him.

Of course, the other party may have full confidence that they will not let him escape, but judging from the fact that they did not kill the killer in the first place. There should be a turnaround. It's just that he thought about it, but he still didn't know what the other party's intentions were. Human beings always have a sense of fear of unknown fate, and he is no exception.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time! Now that I'm thinking about what to do, if I have a chance to copy each other's dolls, then everything will be clear. ”

In the end, Alex decided not to think about it and to solve the immediate problem first. He began to look at the contents of the basement. There is now a vent with a fan inside that constantly rotates to bring in fresh air. As for the clutter, it's all something that isn't needed.

In addition, there was a cardboard box at the head of the bed, and when I opened it, I saw that there was some food and water inside. And paper towels or something. It seems that the other party has been prepared and wants to imprison him for a while, but this makes him feel much more at ease. The other party really has no intention of killing immediately, and he can still survive.

There was a plastic bucket next to the pillar, and at first Alex didn't know what it was for. After he was in a hurry, he realized that it was used to go to the toilet.

During the few days of being imprisoned, the torture on ** was secondary, and the mental pressure was always there. In order to ensure that his body is full, he insists on doing seven-minute exercises every day. In order to relieve mental stress, he will lie in bed and enter the mental space to soothe himself.

Recalling the books, movies, and music he had seen in the past, Alex was able to persevere, and he seemed to be back to his old life as an otaku, entertaining himself alone in his room. It is estimated that they were locked up for more than a week or so, and the two kidnappers finally appeared.

He was lying in bed that day, focusing on his mental space, when the door to the basement suddenly opened.

Alex reacted immediately, sat up straight, and looked at the stairs leading to the door. He can now do two things, and when his eyes are in the mental space, he can also pay attention to the situation in the outside world.

"It's finally here, let me see who is so bold. As long as I make a copy of their puppet, I can understand their motives and find a chance to escape from this hellish place. Alex thought with some excitement in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the two people who came in covered their heads with black hoods, and they couldn't see their true faces at all. This made Alex, who was already ready to reach out and copy the other party's soul information, a little surprised.

The other party is really careful, but this just shows that they don't want to kill.

He felt a little lighter. There was some disappointment again. Sadly, the kidnappers did not intend to kill him, and were disappointed not to see the true face of the other party. His ability to copy the puppet must see what the other person looks like, then model it in the mental space, and finally touch the opponent's body in order to be successful.

Alex is not very clear about why he must see the true face of the other party. When it first started. He felt that the limitations of this ability were really a bit inexplicable.

For example, the appearance of people with makeup and without makeup looks completely different, and some makeup techniques can even make a big man become a big beauty. There are various other factors, such as changing the style, shaving off the eyebrows, etc., whether or not it will affect his ability to copy.

Before that, he had studied the changes in the head and eyebrows. It will not affect his puppet replication, but once it comes to the camouflage of skin color, body shape, and face, it will make his replication success rate plummet. It takes many times to reach out and copy to be successful, especially once he deliberately found some people who have undergone plastic surgery to test, and the success rate of his current copy is related to the length of plastic surgery.

For people who have just undergone plastic surgery, it is difficult for Alex to copy the soul information from that person. If it is a person who has undergone plastic surgery for several years, then it is very easy to be copied successfully. Even if it's the same person. There will also be such cases.

In response to this strange comparison of success rates, Alex believes that the soul information he copies is actually the overlap between the spirit puppet and the self-conscious image of the copy target, and if the puppet and the image overlap highly, then the replication success rate is high. Otherwise, the success rate of replication is low, and it may not even be copied at all.

When Kane and Crazy Eight appear with their heads and faces covered, it makes Alex feel a little depressed, which makes him unable to model their appearance. Not to mention the problem of high and low replication yields.

"We've got to find a way to get them to take the mask off!" Alex thought to himself.

The two men had come to deliver daily necessities, and one of them, a tall man, had a box of things in one hand and placed it in front of him.

Another skinny man went to dispose of the feces in the plastic bucket, probably because it was so smelly, and he muttered, "Don't let me do this next time!" The two of us took turns, and this time I was going to pour the. Next time you come. ”

Alex yelled at them, "Hey! Whatever you want to do, if you want money, I can give it to you! ”

The two men looked at him and said nothing. Keep walking outside, leaving Alex alone to shout below.

After coming outside, the crazy old eight took off his hood: "It's so sulky! Isn't it okay not to wear such a thing? ”

Kane also took off his hood, explaining, "If you don't wear this, you'll be in trouble if you're seen." Do you really want to kill this kid? ”

"Not really! I guess we've dressed up, so we don't have to worry about him recognizing us. ”

"It's better to be careful! I heard that this kid is very smart, if he can really recognize you, you won't have time to cry by then. ”

"Cut! I'm confident in my disguise technique. Even acquaintances can't recognize each other face-to-face, let alone strangers. ”

Kane shrugged his shoulders and said no more. He knew that the crazy old man was a conceited man, but he also believed that the other party had the ability to make Alex absolutely unrecognizable. He packed his things and prepared to leave the place.

The crazy old man asked impatiently: "You say, what are those people doing with him?" Neither seeking money nor killing people, is there really that guy who has taken a fancy to this kid's "piyan"? Do you think those people are so disgusting that they like men! ”

Kane felt that the crazy bastard's words were too vulgar, and smiled: "Don't guess, we don't have to worry so much about the employer's affairs." Anyway, they'll send someone to pick him up, so we just need to make sure this kid is okay before we do that. ”

"Whatever you want, I feel like this business is losing money right now. I read the newspaper these days, and I realized that the Carpenter family is so rich, if only we were kidnappers, it would be more than tens of millions of dollars. ”

"As I said, we're killers, plumbers, mechanics or something, but we're not kidnappers! Don't be verbose, you will take care of him in the future. I have something to leave, and it seems that my employer wants to extend the delivery time. They are worried that the limelight is tight right now, and they are worried that they will be found out. ”

"Alright! Go ahead with confidence, I'll raise this kid to be fat. ”

After Kane left, the only one left in this place was the crazy old eight. The place is a detached villa surrounded by fields where corn is grown, and the road is some distance from the place.

He watched TV in the house for a while, then went to the gym to boxing and working out. The crazy old eight learned Chinese kung fu is very miscellaneous. He has practiced almost everything, he has also practiced judo, karate, boxing, Muay Thai, and many more. Although he has learned so many punches, his martial arts are far more powerful than Kane.

Both of them were taught by the same master, and they began to practice martial arts and train various killing techniques from a young age. Crazy Old Eight practiced martial arts earlier than Kane, and as a Chinese, he was very keen on kung fu.

Initially. Kane is no match for the crazy eight. Every time he played, Kane would quickly be knocked to the ground by him. Soon Kane was physically stronger than the Easterners, and he would be able to defeat him in a year.

In less than a few years, Kane was able to punch the punches so loudly that every punch he threw out could shake people's internal organs, and if someone who was almost physically close would be punched by Kane, he would have to vomit blood. If he attacks with all his might. The most ferocious punches are capable of making a snapping sound like a whip breaking through the air.

The master said that this symbolizes that Kane has practiced to the peak of Ming Jin, and being able to make a crisp sound is equivalent to an ancient martial arts master. Kane's body is good and abundant, and of course he can quickly achieve this kind of process.

In modern boxing, those boxers who are more powerful rely on their physical strength, and every punch they throw during the game can achieve this effect. When standing beside them. A crackling whip can be heard. However, if you hit each blow with all your might, you can't hold on for a few minutes at most. After all, the human body is still flesh and blood, and it will feel tired.

Seeing Kane coming from behind, the crazy eighth felt very unconvinced. Obviously, he learned martial arts first, and Kane was not an opponent at all at the beginning, but he didn't expect to lose in just one year. A few years later, it reached the so-called peak of Mingjin. If he continues like this, he will not be overpowered by Kane all the time.

It's a pity that Westerners are indeed better than Easterners in terms of physical elements. So the crazy old man kept practicing boxing and learned a lot of boxing techniques. Trying to bridge the gap with moves. Kane didn't care about it, he just dropped ten times at once, and he beat him in the competition for several years.

Until one day, when the crazy old eight can also make a crisp sound, he knows that he has reached that kind of state. Even if the body is still relatively poor, it can be regarded as having a hard time. Sure enough, Kane could no longer suppress him in the competition, and soon reversed, and the crazy old eight won.

Since then, the crazy old eight has always been able to convince Kane in kung fu. Now that the crazy old eight is already at the peak of the next level of realm, Kane is still at the level of the so-called Ming Jin.

After all, Kane is a Westerner, and his understanding of China's national art is still separated by a membrane. The key thing is that Kane is not as obsessed with kung fu as the crazy eight. For every ten points of time invested by the crazy eight, Kane only spent one point.

"Hand-to-hand combat or something is outdated, no matter how good the kung fu is, knock it down with one shot!" Kane said so, and he thought so.

He divided his time between other skills, such as driving, firearms, language, disguise, assassination, reconnaissance, lying, physical fitness, and so on. He is more comprehensive than the crazy eight, and it also makes him attract attention in the organization. Every time he acts, he is asked to lead the team and the crazy eight assists.

For a while, Kane thought that as long as he had a gun in his hand, no one would be able to beat him. Soon he knew that this was a wrong idea, and the master was able to knock him down with his bare hands. With just one move, he flew sideways, even if he shot it, it was useless.

The master was able to dodge bullets at close range, and Kane was no match at all, no matter how many times he tried, the result was the same.

After seeing it, the crazy old man felt a great increase in confidence: "I will definitely be able to reach this state in the future, even if you have a gun in your hand, it's useless, haha!" ”

With such a purpose, the crazy old eight worked hard to practice boxing every day, and his master Ba said that martial arts have three strengths, bright energy, and dark energy. Strength. The so-called peak of Ming Jin is Kane's kind of Cheng dù, which can make a crisp sound, as for how many crisp sounds can be made, it depends on the person's body.

The dark energy is also called internal strength, and it can be lifted to the ground silently and lightly touched. But he was able to crush a large square brick. The dark energy is silent, pivotal from the heart, and can kill people between gestures.

Kane hasn't been able to reach this level, and as for the crazy eight himself, he's different. A year ago, he could occasionally land a punch or two. It's just that you can't do what you want, and you can't use it in actual combat. In the past month or two, he has already felt that he has made a breakthrough, and he can show the so-called dark energy with every move.

In fact, dark energy is not mysterious, it is the "qi" that Chinese often talk about, as long as the qi is concentrated to one point of explosion, the effect of dark energy can be achieved.

He practiced boxing for a while. I feel that I am a little more proficient in mastering dark energy today. He was quite satisfied, but as he was fighting, he suddenly stopped and listened.

"It's the sound of chains!"

The sound, he thought, was coming from the basement window. Originally, ordinary people couldn't hear such a subtle sound, but the crazy old eight is not an ordinary person.

At first, Crazy Eight didn't know what this meant, but he quickly realized that it must be Alex trying to break free from the chain. He cursed. Hurriedly picked up the mask to cover his head and face, and hurried to the basement.

As soon as he pushed the door, the sound of chains stopped, and he went down to see Alex lying on the bed pretending to be asleep. He was secretly amused in his heart, Shi Shiran walked by, and when he was about to kick it, Alex, who was lying on the bed, suddenly burst out.

"Whoa! Crash! ”

Alex clutched the chain tightly in his hand. Throw out a perfect parabola and prepare to use it to strangle the crazy eight. He was convinced that his movements were fast, and that he was unprepared for a surprise, and that he would be able to hit them with one blow.

But the other party reacted faster. Before the chain was wrapped around the opponent's neck, Alex only felt a flower in front of him, and did not lasso the target, and then took a kick in the lower abdomen, and the whole person was kicked into the air.

"Bang dang!" With a loud bang, Alex slammed into the wall and then fell onto the bed.

Alex, who was hit hard, only felt unbearable pain in his stomach, and he bent over and lay on his side on the bed "shenyin".

"Don't come again! If you don't want to suffer, don't do such stupid things. ”

The crazy old eight chirped and snorted, thinking that Alex was simply overwhelmed. At this time, he felt that his face was a little sweaty, and his mask was wet, which was very unpleasant. The sweat came from the boxing practice just now, and it made him feel a little itchy, so he took off his mask.

His face was now disguised, with a dark complexion, a broad forehead, and a somewhat collapsed nose, which made him look like a Filipino in appearance.

looked at Alex who was lying there, and felt as if he had fainted, and the crazy old man was a little worried that he was too heavy, so he walked over, intending to see how the injury was.

"Hey, hey! You're all right, wake up, wake up! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached out to touch Alex's pulse, the other party woke up. Seeing Alex staring at his face made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Look at what! Look again and blindfold you! Sit up when you're okay, don't lie down and pretend to be dead. ”

Alex was silent, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Just now, he modeled and tried to copy the soul information of the crazy old eight, but it failed, and the model also collapsed because of the failure of copying, and completely turned into nothingness.

If you want to rebuild the model and copy it, you have to wait for a while before you have the energy. The key thing is that he is sure that the current appearance of the crazy old eight is not the real face, at least not the image of the crazy old eight's self-consciousness.

You have to see him for what he really is! Alex struggled to sit up, thinking if there was anything he could do.

"Falling flowers cover the moonlight, borrow a cup to recommend the phoenix platform. The emperor's daughter brings tears to incense, and she is willing to die and return to thank her father. I peeked and looked at ......"

The crazy old eight hummed a little song and walked out of the basement. Hearing this Cantonese opera tune, Alex's body was shocked and he suddenly woke up.

"This guy is definitely not from Southeast Asia, and he is from Guangdong." Alex thought to himself, but he felt a little uncertain: "Maybe it's a Chinese who knows Cantonese, and he should be one meter eight meters tall." Maybe it's the northerners. ”

With a direction in mind, he stopped thinking about it and lay down and fell asleep. He had to do his best to recover his energy so that he could try to build a model before the other person returned, and copy the information to the other person's soul.
