When the plane overlapped, Salt Lake City in Utah was already suffering, and the Kuthra disaster when the first plane overlap did not cause much damage to Salt Lake City, but when it overlapped with the infinite future plane, the Martian Lord's counterattack brought great damage to Salt Lake City.

Half of the city's buildings were in ruins, and the direct death toll was as high as 100,000. Now, more than 80 percent of the survivors in Salt Lake City have left the area and gone to a shelter arranged by the U.S. government.

Alan and Abraham drove to a white community in eastern Salt Lake City, which, like the white neighborhoods of other cities in the United States, is a place where the houses are detached, the streets are clean, and the air is fresh, reflecting the charm of the American Dream.

However, they did not come here to settle or play.

Alan parked his car in front of a house that didn't look much different from the surrounding houses, no, there was still a little difference...... In contrast to the empty surrounding houses, a tall white man was basking in the sun while reading a magazine on the lawn in front of the house.

As soon as Alan got out of the car, he walked straight to the white man, and as he went, he said loudly, "Hello, Holmes. Long time no see. ”

When the white man named Holmes heard Allen's shout, he couldn't help but put down the magazine in his hand, raised his head with a smile and looked at Allen and Abraham who were walking towards him, and said with a smile: "Look, look, see who is here!" Isn't this the famous Mr. Allen?! Why do you have time to visit me, a nobody? ”

"Hahaha......" Alan laughed as he walked to Holmes's side, unceremoniously snatched the magazine in his hand, opened it, and said with a smile: "You still like to watch Latin girls, after so many years, your love for women has really not changed at all." ”

Alan shook the magazine in his hand, revealing a page that appeared to be a hot, brown-skinned Latina girl who Holmes had been reading before.

Holmes shrugged, ignoring Allen's rudeness, reached out and picked up a can of beer from the ground next to the recliner, and took a sip before saying to Allen, "So...... That's all for the chat. How about a different subject? ”

Alan smiled and asked, "What kind of topic do you want to change?" ”

Holmes put down the beer in his hand, first looked at Allen, and then at Abraham, who looked wary of him, and said with a smile: "Just talk about it a little, in what capacity did you visit me now that the Tarot Organization has perished?" Fool ...... Mr. Allen? ”

Alan clapped softly and smiled, "Although I can say it directly, I think it's more interesting for you to say it yourself." Why don't you tell me what I mean? Mr. Holmes, the magician. ”

Holmes first set his eyes on Abraham, and he said in a flat tone: "This old man, which member of the Tarot Organization is he?" ”

Without hesitation, Alan replied, "This is the Hermit, Mr. Abraham." ”

"Hello, Mr. Abraham." Holmes stood up and nodded at Abraham while extending his hand to him.

Abraham hesitated a little as he looked at Holmes' right hand reaching out to him, but eventually shook his hand and nodded.

Holmes finished shaking hands with Abraham, and then turned his head and said to Allen: "Since this Mr. Abraham is also a member of the former Tarot Organization. So, I'll make a guess...... Mr. Allen, you should have come to invite me to join your team and become a member of the Reincarnation Squad, right? ”

Alan smiled and nodded, "That's right, exactly, then, Mr. Holmes." Tell me, what do you think? ”

Holmes laughed twice, then patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Allen, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Please." Alan replied with a gentlemanly demeanor.

The smile on Holmes's face suddenly disappeared, his face became iron-blue, and his whole body exuded a completely opposite temperament from before, which was a feeling that made others shudder just by standing beside him, a demonic temperament that would kill people at any time.

Holmes said in a cold tone, "After you betrayed the Tarot Organization, what is your position to let me join your team?" Could it be that you're really not afraid that I'll stab you in the back? You know, after I was betrayed by you, I almost died several times. You're not so naïve as to think that I can forget everything I used to do and be friendly with you, right? ”

A helpless smile appeared on Allen's face, and he sighed and said, "Alas...... At this time, I'm really glad that you're a Ph.D. in neurology with a penchant for explosions. And not a doctor of chemistry who likes to use poison. Otherwise, Mr. Abraham and I would have died at your hands by now, right? ”

Holmes's face changed, and he asked coldly, "How did you find out?" ”

Alan looked at Holmes with a warm smile on his face, he pointed to Abraham and then to his feet, and said with a smile, "Before getting out of the car, of course." Oh...... By the way, I forgot to tell you about it. Mr. Abraham, in addition to being a former hermit of the Tarot Order, had participated in the Stargate Project and was the only one who succeeded in the program. At the same time, he is also a member of the reincarnation team, and of course, Mr. Abraham's main direction of strengthening...... It's mental power. So, you get the idea? ”

Holmes's face changed several times, becoming more and more gloomy and ugly, but in the end, he showed a helpless smile, and then sat back on the recliner and said lightly: "Okay, you win, Alan." I really didn't expect that the hermit was a powerful psychic person. ”

Alan stomped on the lawn under his feet and asked Holmes, "Now we can talk about it, by the way, this won't explode, right?" ”

"Hmph, no!" Holmes replied angrily.

Just as Alan and Abraham got out of the car, Abraham, as a mental power controller, naturally subconsciously scanned everything around. Not only that, but the cautious Abraham did not even let go of the underground, and within the scope of his mental power scanning, he found that it was three meters deep under the extremely lawn of the house in Homs. It was filled with explosives fields made up of various electronic components and wires!

Abraham and Allen are both well-informed people, so they can naturally recognize that it is a handmade remote-controlled bomb, in addition to being able to remotely explode, I am afraid that it can also explode at regular intervals. As for power...... For a bombardment who can raze a movie theater to the ground, Alan and Abraham have no doubt that these explosives can blow them all into the sky.

That's right, in addition to being a Ph.D. professor of neurology at the University of Utah, Holmes is also one of the core members of the Tarot organization, a high-IQ criminal codenamed Magician. He is a fanatical bomb maniac, and his favorite thing to do is to blow people up and splash their limbs, and then watch the other person die, and listen to the other person's moans and wails before they die...... He's such a scumbag with a bad personality, a villain who doesn't deserve to be called a man!

Instead of taking refuge in the Vault, Holmes returned to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he bought a house and spent a lot of time planting explosives underground. According to Allen's investigation, this is the reason why Holmes made these preparations after evading the pursuit of Base 49, as for the purpose...... I guess I have the idea that even if I die, I will choose my own way of dying.

If Holmes really can't think about it, he will directly detonate the bomb under his feet, but I'm afraid that Allen and Abraham, who are defenseless, will have to go to heaven with him.

"I didn't expect you to be the same as before, just as cunning as before." Holmes sipped his beer, crossed Erlang's legs, and said as he pouted Allen.

Alan didn't care, he just stood next to Holmes's chair, facing the same direction as him, making his posture look more natural, like two old friends catching up. He said lightly: "How can I deal with you if I am not careful?" When it comes to cruelty, I'm afraid that the drug lords of Mexico and South America combined can't compare to you. By the way, your bomb, if I'm not mistaken, should be triggered in two ways, right? One is that your brain is dead and the neural response is lost, triggering a preset program to detonate the bomb. The other is that you start it remotely, right? ”

Holmes replied with a sneer, "What if I say there's a third way to trigger?" ”

"No, you won't." Alan categorically denied: "You are not the kind of person who likes to do useless work, there are two kinds, no, in fact, one is enough for you." Your original intention is to take the entire community around you hostage, and whenever you die or fall into a state of uncontrollable self-control, you will detonate a bomb and drag everyone in the community to be buried with you, so as to ensure your safety. As for how to set it up...... It's not difficult for a Ph.D. in neurology like you, and I remember that your research project at the university was on the topic of the interaction between human neurocurrents and the outside world. In particular, you're a big fan of planting suicide bombs on people. It's just that you didn't think of a little ......"

Holmes sighed, took Allen's words, and said lightly: "I didn't think about the overlap of planes and the end of the world, I just finished arranging my home, and I found that the hunt for me at Base 49 had been canceled. Perhaps, they don't have the energy to hunt me down anymore. Moreover, if the end of the world comes, we are all rats in the same boat, and I am naturally not stupid enough to do anything to show my presence at this time. However, I didn't dare to go to the official facilities like the shelter. ”

Alan nodded and said, "That's right, it's right that you don't go." The identity of everyone who enters the Vault is thoroughly checked, and it is done using an identification system that has been redeemed directly from the Lord God, far more advanced than any other identification system in the world today. If you go to the shelter, you'll be 100 percent identified. ”

Holmes sneered and said, "After all, it's not because of you?" The leader of the Tarot Order, Allen the Fool. If it weren't for you, how would I have gotten to this point? You really thought life as a street rat was fun, didn't you? ”

After Holmes finished speaking, his hand unconsciously reached into his pocket.

Seeing Holmes's move, Abraham couldn't help but be vigilant, but Alan waved his left hand violently, and the arcane energy condensed a rune in the air, and then this rune culture made a ball of brilliance and submerged into Holmes's body, making Holmes suddenly unable to move, and the whole process took less than a second.

"You ——?!" Holmes's eyes widened, he saw the scene just now clearly, his attention was all on Alan, although the process was very short, but he really saw the whole process clearly. What is that? Ellen's mystical powers?

Alan explained lightly: "It was a spell called Human Immobilization Technique just now, and I forgot to introduce it. My own enhanced attribute is that of an Arcanist, and I can unleash a variety of spells through Arcane energy. This spell is one of the spells I've redeemed, and it's my favorite spell so far, and it's perfect for dealing with humans and humanoids. ”

Holmes's heart sank, no wonder Eren was so fearless, although he guessed that Eren must have more power than ordinary people after becoming a member of the reincarnation team now. But Holmes was shocked when this mysterious power really fell on him...... This is a well-deserved fear of forces beyond common sense.

Alan said: "Holmes, I know that you are not a person who worships death, you want to live, you want to live forever. So that you can continue to do what you want to do, such as listening to the death of the enemy......"

Holmes asked coldly, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

Alan turned his head, smiled at him, and said, "Don't you know? I'm here to get you on my team. ”

Holmes sneered: "Then I'm still the same sentence, aren't you afraid that I'll stab you in the back?" ”

Alan shrugged, patted Holmes on the shoulder, lifted the spell on his body, and said lightly, "If you can do it...... Since I dare to come to you, I am naturally not afraid that you will stab me in the back. And, if you follow me, I can guarantee that you will not only live, but also have power......"

Holmes was silent, but after a moment he suddenly smiled again, very kind and sunny, just like at the beginning, Holmes stood up, hugged Alan hard, and said loudly: "Then it is decided, my beloved captain!" ”

Alan also responded with a smile: "No problem...... My partner. ”
