This is a three-storey bungalow located in the villa area of Windhoek.

The towering European-style buildings, the grassy courtyard, and the iron fence with gold trim in front of the door all tell the story of the value of the owner of this bungalow.

In Namibia, this room undoubtedly represents the status of a human being.

At this time, Hodge was looking at everything in front of him in confusion, this was his home.

He couldn't remember when he came to the front of his house or why he was standing here, and in his memory, he seemed to be driving after several murderers when he was hit on the right side of the vehicle.

Then, the world swirled......

Hodge subconsciously took a breath, but suddenly he smelled a pungent scorching smell, as if something had been burned, but when he looked around, he found nothing.

There was no fire, nothing that was burned.

Am I saved?

Hodge watched all this in confusion, he couldn't remember when he was here, he couldn't even remember how long he had been standing in front of his door, as if he had just arrived home, and as if he had been standing for a long, long time......

Just when Hodge was a little strange, through the iron fence outside, he suddenly saw the door of his house slowly open, and a middle-aged man with a stern expression appeared behind the door, he looked at Hodge with anticipation and disappointment.

"Father."

Hodge hurriedly beckoned to the other party, then pushed open the fence gate and walked quickly into his home.

"Father, I'm back!"

Hodge said loudly, but before he could finish speaking, he was stunned, because he found that his father had disappeared at some point, and not only that, but his relatives had all gathered at home, and the atmosphere was in full swing, as if he was having a party.

"Jenny, is it a holiday today?"

Hodge asked a nanny beside him, but the other party didn't even look at him, and walked directly past him, Hodge shouted loudly, but the other party still ignored him.

“OK！”

Hodge spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, only to see his mother and grandmother huddled together, walking towards him.

"Hey! Mom, what's going on at home? ”

Hodge's face was beaming, and he asked his mother like a child, but the next second, he watched the two of them walk in front of him.

What surprised him even more was that not only his mother, but even his grandmother, who loved him the most, seemed to not exist.

The joy on Hodge's face froze suddenly, and he gradually sensed that something was wrong.

At some point, the room was faintly filled with smoke, with a pungent smell of burning, which made it difficult for Hodge to breathe, and he coughed heavily, and at the same time an inexplicable panic overflowed......

Why can't everyone seem to see themselves?

With this thought, Hodge was about to confront his father desperately, but saw his father suddenly wearing a gown and leading a girl in a wedding dress to the living room.

The moment he saw the girl, he immediately froze.

"A-Amanda......"

Hodge looked at each other blankly, and the girl in front of him was wearing a white and gorgeous wedding dress, with an ethereal and pure temperament, as if she was as flawless as a pearl in the sea.

The girl is none other than her fiancée, Amanda.

"My son, today is your wedding day, don't you remember?"

His father's voice was thick and loud, and he smiled a little, and finally looked in Hodge's direction, "I'm proud of you, son!" ”

Following his father's words, Hodge's mother, grandmother, and even a group of relatives appeared around the living room, clapping continuously, and for a while, the room was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.

"Father's ......"

At this point, Hodge finally settled down, he showed a hearty smile, it turned out that everything just now was a prank made by his family?

Solemn music gradually drifted in the air, and with the blessing of everyone, the girl in the wedding dress walked towards Hodge step by step, with a shy flush, in the hazy smoke of the room, slowly took Hodge's hand.

Then, in front of the crowd, Hodge and the girl danced a Western ballroom dance.

At this moment, a great sense of happiness surrounded Hodge, and he closed his eyes in intoxication, hoping that the world would stay in this moment forever......

"He's smiling, I guess it's a dream......"

"Ready to release the lethargy protection, he's been dreaming about this for three months, it's time to wake up......"

"Start lowering dopamine, start the shocker, prepare for the shock ......"

Just as Hodge was surrounded by endless happiness, suddenly, a series of conversations came faintly around him, and this voice seemed to be right in front of him, and it seemed to come from afar, in short, very incongruous with his dream.

"What's going on......"

Hodge subconsciously opened his eyes, but he was suddenly stunned, because he found that the girl in front of him had disappeared at some point, and at the same time, along with the relatives in the room who were originally blessing him.

Father, mother, grandmother, and Amanda...... Everyone, gone!

"No, no, that's not true!"

The smoke in front of Hodge's eyes became thicker and thicker, almost blocking his vision, and he subconsciously wanted to escape from this strange room, only to find that at some point, his home began to fill with endless fires!

Hodge watched in despair as the flames quickly enveloped him, and at the same time, the scorching smell reached its peak, and then, there was a sudden stinging pain!

The stinging pain came from his abdomen, as if he had been electrocuted, and there was a burning stinging sensation in his abdomen.

"Ahh Ahh ”

At this moment, Hodge suddenly roared loudly, his voice was extremely painful, as if everything had exploded at this moment!

"The patient has woken up!"

At this time, in a sterile laboratory full of high-tech equipment, several doctors were looking at a person lying on a special instrument in front of them with solemn expressions.

The man had only a sleek head exposed, and his body was covered in a set of matte black armor, and the gaps in the armor snapped into each other, but the shape of the chest muscles and abdominal muscles according to the human body structure was very beautiful.

If you look at his face, Chen Chen can immediately recognize that he is Hodge who was burned before.

However, by this time, Hodge's skin and facial features had been completely repaired, and not only that, but his hands and feet had reappeared on his body, the only discord was that his hands and feet, like his body, were wrapped in a layer of black armor, and there were red and blue patterns on them, which looked like some kind of art.

At this time, however, Hodge was lying on a special instrument made entirely of metal, while constantly making a deafening roaring sound.

"What's going on, he's out of control?"

"The timing of the wake-up call is not right, the patient is releasing an excess of adrenaline, and at the same time, his blood pressure is skyrocketing, and he is ready to be sedated!"

"No, wait a minute!"

Just as the nurse was about to perform according to the doctor's instructions, a gray-haired middle-aged doctor suddenly spoke, only to see him with a solemn expression, "Don't interfere with him, let him vent out first, it's good for psychology and physiology!" ”

Obviously, this doctor has a very high status even among many authoritative experts, and as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Hodge roared for half a minute, only to stop when he was completely out of breath, and he opened his eyes blankly as he gasped for air.

"You're awake."

The doctors quickly gathered around and looked at Hodge with undisguised delight, as if a sculptor was looking at a perfect sculpture that he had worked so hard to create.

"This ...... Where is this ......?"

Hodge looked at the crowd above him with some horror, he subconsciously wanted to sit up, but he found that he couldn't move a finger, not only that, but in his sight, there were a large number of unknown data and tables, as his target wandered, these squares in the eyes were still changing......

Could it be that I am still dreaming?

"Your current location is the Life Science City Biological Research Center under Blacklight Technology."

The gray-haired middle-aged man smiled kindly, "We are your attending physician and the designer of bionic prosthetics, my name is Sheridan Todd, you can call me Dr. Todd." ”

"What happened, why can't I move?"

Hodge asked, dismayed, "Also, why can't I feel my body?" ”

"Please relax, Hodge."

Dr. Todd replied slowly, trying to get Hodge into the rhythm of his own conversation, "Your body is still there, it's just out of the uh...... A little bit of a problem, but it's okay, it's fixed now. ”

"However, we still need to do some tests before we can get you back to action, like, do you remember your last memory?"

"The last memory?"

Hodge's expression was empty, he silently recalled the fragments before he woke up, but after thinking about it, his mind only had the bits and pieces of his dreams, but how he got here had long forgotten......

"I forgot ......"

Hodge shook his head.

"It's okay."

Instead, Dr. Todd breathed a sigh of relief, "Rest assured, this is just one type of PTSD, and it's not a bad thing for you to forget about it, but on the contrary, it's a good thing, at least to delay and reduce the secondary damage on your mental level." ”

"So what the hell are you talking about, what the hell is going on with me?"

But even after hearing these words, Hodge felt so angry that he began to scream and curse, and at the same time began to struggle his head as if trying to sit up again from lying down.

"Don't get excited, we'll tell you what's going on, but not now."

Dr. Todd waved his hand, and all the other doctors and medical staff all retreated in all directions, "Hodge, don't struggle, we've turned off the XTN-118 Police Bionic Armor's movement function now, it's useless for you to struggle, but if you're willing to calm down, we can discuss and help you turn on your mobility......"

Hearing this, and seeing the attitude of the crowd, Hodge took a deep breath and suppressed his rising tension while trying to reduce the rate of his heartbeat.

"Good, that's it, calm down......"

Dr. Todd said slowly, while looking at a medical staff next to him, the female nurse immediately reacted, she picked up the tablet in her hand, and said directly, "The patient's heartbeat and blood pressure are rapidly decreasing, and the current heartbeat rate is 120 beats per minute, and it is still decreasing...... has been reduced to 80...... No, it's 75 ...... per minute."

"Good."

Seeing this, Dr. Todd finally nodded in satisfaction, and he slowly walked up to Hodge, while placing his hand on the instrument where Hodge was lying down, where there was a red button.

"Director Todd, won't this ......?"

The rest of the attending doctors were a little hesitant and subconsciously stopped, "Will there be danger?" ”

"He's also human, and he's a qualified police officer, and he won't hurt us."

Dr. Todd shook his head solemnly, then turned to look at Hodge, "I'm going to release you now, Hodge&"

Without waiting for Hodge to speak, Dr. Todd pressed the button.

Click, snort——!

With the sound of something being unlocked, followed by the sound of a valve deflating, Hodge only saw that two rows of probes between his ribs were automatically pulled out, and at the same time, his body suddenly loosened!

In the next second, Hodge dodged and sat up directly from the instrument!

Suddenly, except for Dr. Todd and a few doctors in front of him, everyone else in the entire laboratory subconsciously took two or three steps back, and their eyes were full of vigilance when they looked at Hodge.

It was as if he wasn't looking at a human, but at some other species......

Seeing this scene, Hodge lowered his head and slowly looked at his body, only to find that he was wrapped in a layer of black armor from head to toe.

Not only that, but as he stretched out his hand and touched his body curiously, he also produced an unfamiliar sense of touch.

This sense of touch is a little duller than his original body, but it is surprisingly sharp in terms of details.

"What is this ......?"

Hodge slowly raised his head, looked at Dr. Todd and asked in a deep voice, "You put a suit of armor on me?" Is this an April Fool's Day spoof? A tribute to Iron Man? Or is it a steel bone? ”

"Neither, we're saving your life!"

Dr. Todd spread out his hand and showed an excited expression, "You were in a car accident and were seriously injured and almost died, but our Blacklight Technology saved you and allowed you to survive your almost certain injuries, you know?" ”

Hearing Dr. Todd's explanation, Hodge fell silent.

His mind gradually became clear from the chaos at the beginning, and it was only then that he slowly remembered that he seemed to be chasing several murderers in a police car, but because he was hit by the other party's car, which caused the car to roll over the road......

Then what happened, but his memory was blank, as if someone had deleted his memory......

The only thing I can't forget is the pungent smell of burnt fire and the smoke that fills my eyes......

"Ah......h

Hodge suddenly let out a scream, as if touching something deep in his soul, and he clutched his head and collapsed to the ground, convulsing irrepressibly.

"Director, the patient's blood pressure is starting to rise again!"

"His EEG has entered the peak stage and is still improving!"

"We can't control him!"

"Inject tranquilizers!"

Seeing this, Dr. Todd finally stopped hesitating and gave the order for a tranquilizer.

In the next second, underneath the layer of armor that Hodge couldn't see, a needle quickly popped out and stabbed directly into Hodge's body......

At this point, Hodge gradually quieted down and fell back into a deep sleep.

Immediately, Hodge's body moved on its own, and he climbed back onto the special bed-like instrument behind him, which was tightly attached to the groove under him.

Looking at this scene, Dr. Todd couldn't help but sigh, and then said with satisfaction, "At present, it seems that the patient's physiological indicators are all qualified, and there is no problem with the XTN-118 police bionic armor. ”

When everyone heard this, they all let out a cheer, and the results of the three months were finally not in vain.
