Chapter 3: Unusual Kidnapping, Watching a Play
As the night passed, Richard's excitement had subsided considerably.
Getting up on time, Richard once again thought about the way forward.
It is necessary to become stronger, and it must be strong enough to kill that purple sweet potato essence, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well. After all, there is already such a variable factor as him in this movie universe, who knows if that damn plot will appear in advance?
So accumulating enough karma as soon as possible to unlock more armor, skills, weapons, and other system features is what Richard will do next.
"With the armor and bodyguard, the weeds and human traffickers that were not easy to do before can finally be dealt with." Richard smiled, grabbed today's food and walked to the garage.
The car still has to be driven, after all, the number of gangs cannot be unlimited, so contacting various events through the mouths of passengers is still the main means of brushing karma.
Maybe something big is coming?
However, an hour after breakfast, Richard waited in the car, and still no one got a taxi.
"Again, in that case I can only ......" Richard stretched his muscles and looked at a hidden button on the bridge, "must control, control, control ......"
Richard took a few deep breaths and pressed the button. In the next moment, the color of the entire BMW changed from high-end black to taxi yellow in an instant, and a taxi sign printed with taxi appeared on the roof of the shed.
The corners of Richard's mouth hooked, all of this was transformed by himself, although the technology content is not too high, just a layer of paramagnetic paint and mechanical transformation, but the sense of achievement and pride is incomparable.
In the case of not receiving an order, incarnating as a taxi is something he often does, but he didn't expect to open a taxi again so soon, and the soul of drag racing is already ready to move.
"Control, control!" Richard calmed down and started the car and drove away from the alley.
Soon, the first guest stopped the car.
It was a very kind face, a Chinese aunt, but her expression was more anxious, as if she was in a hurry to go somewhere.
Richard stopped with a smile and opened the window, the aunt looked anxious, and gestured for a long time before she spoke, saying a sentence in non-standard English.
"Auntie, I know Chinese, let's get in the car first."
The aunt was surprised, she didn't expect this foreign guy to know Chinese? And it's quite standard, more standard than her Hong Kong-born Mandarin.
"Auntie?"
The aunt came back to her senses, opened the door and sat in the back seat. "Boy, can I charter a car to Los Angeles? I can give more. As he spoke, he took out a stack of green knives.
Richard was slightly stunned.
Los Angeles is in Southern California, located on the West Coast, while New York City is on the East Coast, more than 4,000 kilometers away, which is a bit big, why not take a plane? If you're in a hurry, it's much faster to fly.
And if he drove such a long distance, it would take four or five days to go back and forth, and he didn't have any karma for the past few days, and even his favorite braised pork had to be temporarily cut off.
However, looking at the anxious look of his aunt, there was obviously a reason not to fly, so he had to be a warm-hearted person.
I really can't refuse my Chinese compatriots.
Richard nodded, turned on the meter, and began the longest passenger journey of his driver's career.
Because of Auntie's anxiety, Richard's speed was slightly faster, and the drive of more than forty hours was directly shortened by ten hours!
Arrived in just over a day!
Don't ask why it's so fast, ask it's Marvel!
sent the aunt to the place, and in the aunt's thousand thanks, Richard received a hundred dollars less and watched the aunt leave with a smile.
It was getting late, and Richard was across the street, ready to watch his aunt enter the Chinese restaurant on the side of the street that was about to close, when he suddenly saw a green snow fufu moving.
Richard frowned.
It seems that Xue Fulai has been parked there for a long time, and it always feels a little weird when he sees someone appearing, and the most important thing is the person in the driver's seat...... Wearing a mask!
Problematic!
Richard stared carefully, watching as Xue Fulai stopped beside his aunt, and a flash of lightning flashed in the night.
It's a stun gun!
The aunt fell to the ground softly, and the masked man came out to look left and right, and then dragged the aunt into the back seat and walked away.
Richard smiled.
I thought that this day of time would be given in vain, but I didn't expect that my kindness would still be rewarded, and I ran into a kidnapper!
And it still looks like a premeditated kidnapper.
Looking at this guy's methods, it must not be the first time he has committed a crime, and he is a habitual offender.
Repeat offenders, representing more karma!
Richard quietly followed.
The car turned around and came to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
Richard watched as the masked man dragged his aunt out, dragged him into the factory and closed the door, before getting out of the car and following him.
The door locked.
Richard raised an eyebrow. In such a remote place, and so cautious, this guy can't be a big fish.
With a hint of excitement, Richard put his ear to the door and closed his eyes.
Richard, who used to be blind, heard much more than ordinary people. As long as he closes his eyes, he can immediately enter the dark world, and his hearing will be extremely sharp in this situation.
There was a faint grinding sound coming out, farther and farther away, more and more faint.
There is no sound of machines running, no cameras, that is, no surveillance. So...... It's okay to have a little movement.
Richard moved his satchel in front of him and placed his hand on the Hokagestone.
A faint red light lit up, and Richard snorted softly, and the armor of the Yanlong was suddenly dressed.
Feeling the power of the flames burning in his body, Richard reached out and pinched it. With a creak, the locked door lock was pinched and deformed. Richard tugged at the door, and walked in.
In the black-cluded storeroom, the simple layout is reflected in Richard's dark blue goggles.
Richard made a brief identification, but found no trace of his aunt being dragged away. But hearing jumped a level with the armor, and Richard could hear the heartbeats of ten people, as well as the clashing of metal and the indescribable whining.
Ten people tied up?
No, one of them is steady, the other is gentle, it should be the kidnapper and the aunt, so there are nine kidnappers in total?
Richard grew more and more excited.
It is a karmic income to take out the kidnapper and undo his past sins and possible future harm to society. And saving the other nine people is another income.
If there are good people among these nine people who are actively doing good, then it is another invisible karmic income.
Of course, everything is Richard's own thinking, and the specific situation still depends on how the high cold system is determined.
Richard walked over to the room where eight people's hearts were beating.
Suddenly, the sound of electronic instruments appearing, attracting Richard's attention.
Pushing the door open, Richard saw a monitor, a pile of guns, stun guns, various tools, and a wall of cut newspapers, magazines, and photographs.
Richard couldn't help but pass.
Anyway, with strong hearing, you can hear the movement in a room not far away, and you can rush over quickly enough, so why not satisfy your curiosity?
Richard looked at the newspaper from newspaper to newspaper, and after a moment, his brow furrowed.
Thing...... It didn't seem to be as simple as he thought.
All of the papers described the same case, a robbery at gunpoint from a few years ago, and a bunch of seemingly unrelated news, such as a company releasing a new drug to treat AIDS, a well-known lawyer winning another lawsuit, and photos and maps of nine people. The map covers New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Las Vegas.
Richard had a vague idea in his head.
There seems to be some inside story about this kidnapping.
Just as he was thinking this, a loud sound of the door opening suddenly came from the loudspeaker.
Richard looked at the surveillance screen and saw that the masked man had dragged his aunt in and had him clutching her to a pillar.
On the screen, eight people, both men and women, were handcuffed to black metal pillars in black hoods, all struggling, whining in unease and fear.
Richard hugged his shoulders and decided...... Watching a play.
