Chapter 195: Insight and Temptation
"What did you say?"
As she was talking, she was suddenly interrupted by Mawson, and Rita obviously didn't come back to her senses.
Mawson sighed.
He arrived in Washington in the early hours of this morning, and after a brief rest, he and Rita began to plan their next move.
Originally, Mawson also wanted to enter the White House together, but he couldn't find a good reason for a while, after all, his identity was different from Rita, and he didn't have the aura of a war hero, he was just an ordinary soldier with a slight reputation.
The entire White House, not to mention being heavily guarded, is enough to be called impenetrable.
By all accounts, the United States remains one of the most powerful countries in the world, and as its administrative center, the White House's defense capability is unquestionable.
Unless he knows the details of the security plan, or has a high-level response to it, even Mawson is not very sure that he will be able to break through head-on.
So the final plan was for Rita to lead Cage to the White House to try to convince the president to get an information collector from him.
However, it is clear that their first attempt ended in failure.
"You're saying we've failed?"
Rita was still a little confused.
"According to the plan we have made, I should not have taken drastic action, and this meeting is mainly about persuasion, even if the president does not agree, he should not order us to be shot?"
"What the hell is going on here?"
Mawson narrowed his eyes and looked at Cage, who was asleep in the surveillance.
"There are only two reasons for this," he boldly guessed, "and the first reason is that your request has touched a sensitive nerve in some people." ”
"According to this reasoning, the U.S. 'government' not only agrees with Dr. Carter's theory, but even conducts in-depth research."
Carter instantly understood the meaning of Mawson's words, and she was shocked, "If that's the case, why didn't they just kill the doctor?" ”
"I don't know about this, maybe this matter was spread very widely, and it may have been too late for the 'government' to block the news, rather than killing the doctor to arouse the suspicion of others, it is better to characterize him as a madman and directly expel him from the White House, which is more reasonable."
Rita quickly figured out the cause and effect, her face turned pale, and she muttered softly, "How can they do this?" How can they be like this!! ”
"For their own selfishness, they can let the whole of Europe be buried for their ambitions!" Rita's eyes turned horribly red at the thought of her dead parents and lover, and a beast-like roar came out of her throat.
It wasn't until a long time before she calmed down.
"That's a guess on my part, and maybe there are other reasons."
"It's okay Mawson, you go on."
"The second possibility is Cage."
"That is, although he promised you on the surface, he has been looking for opportunities to get out of your control, and it is clear that the White House is the best time."
"As long as you make some dangerous moves in the face of the president, I think with the president's security level, the entourage will probably not hesitate to 'shoot' you!"
"That way, he can easily restart time and go back to before you controlled it!"
Rita fell silent.
"These are the two main reasons I can think of, and the others, there may be some unexpected situations and accidents."
"So what should we do next? Do you want to wake up Cage and ask him in person?"
Rita suggested.
Mawson shook his head, in fact he didn't believe Cage would help from the beginning, so the first time Rita appeared in front of Cage, he warned Rita not to tell Cage that he was also in Washington.
Now, it seems clear that such an arrangement is necessary, and if Cage knew that Mawson was also in Washington, his plans might have become even more secretive and subtle.
"Is there a way to bring me into the White House? Even if you can't see the president, you can be closer to the president. ”
Rita thought about it seriously for a while, but still shook her head, "The time left for us is too short, although your identity can do some articles, but the president's schedule has been full in the past few days, and it is already rare to find time to meet me." ”
"That's it, you think of a way, go see the president now, you can take this opportunity to test the president's reaction, and see if the whole thing is a plot of the American 'government' as we guessed before."
"Keep your rhetoric as fierce as possible, and if he reacts strongly and doesn't release you at the first time, then I'll kill Cage and reset time when the time is up."
"Try to come out alive and bring out some useful information, and if possible, it's best to ask where the information collector is, if there is really no way, we can only take violent action!"
"Find a way to take the entire White House!"
Rita nodded, picked up the phone and quickly connected, and two hours later she was in the car to the White House.
But Mawson waited until the evening but still did not see Rita appear, he asked someone to ask, and all he got was the word no comment.
With Rita's shrewdness and prudence, if nothing happened, she would definitely find a way to get the message out, and now it seems that her actions must have touched the president's nerves, so he controlled her.
"Things are getting a little bit tough!" Mawson frowned and shot Cage to reset time.
Time was back to square one, and something was written on the table that Rita had made.
People infected by alpha blood "fluid" cannot control the length of their backtracking time, and after Mawson's analysis, the longest time will not exceed 24 hours.
But for every death, time starts at a specific point in time, and there is no such cycle as dying on the third day, waking up on the second day, then dying on the second day, and waking up from the first day, similar to the bug "operation" of infinite backtracking time.
According to this practice, it is even possible to go back to ancient times through infinite death, although this is obviously not possible.
So sometimes, even if you can go back in time, it doesn't mean that you can change everything.
Because time is limited, there is so little that can be changed, and sometimes even if you understand the outcome of the situation, you can't do anything about it.
In the movie, Rita saw her boyfriend die in front of her eyes, and she reset the time 300 times for this, but she still couldn't save her boyfriend's life.
After briefly retelling these two experiences to Rita, Mawson planned to go out in person and enter the White House head-on.
He has now determined that the White House definitely has a ghost in mind, and Cage probably will not cooperate obediently.
He piles up a lot of explosives in Cage's sleeping room, and once his life is threatened, he intends to activate the bomb and kill Cage to reset time!
Rita originally wanted to act with Mawson, but was rejected by Mawson, without mechanical armor, Rita was just the level of a top soldier, and in this kind of battle, it basically couldn't help much.
Although she did not participate in the operation, she still managed to arrange a chance for Mawson to enter the periphery of the White House.
