Chapter 8 Hunting

Jill was on time for the appointment. Nodia had already ordered a meal waiting for him.

"You know, I'm not going to invite you to dinner for nothing. In the evening, JA has a hunting operation, and I want you to go with me. Waiting for Jill to sit down, Nodia said.

"It's not appropriate for me to go with outsiders, right?" Jill laid out the meal supplement.

"Just me and you. We'll go it alone. ”

"I seem to be more confused." Jill wondered, "Who is the prey?" ”

"We met yesterday." When Jill came to his senses, Nodia continued, "I'm hiding some facts. He was a friend of mine, who had just retired from the Navy earlier this year and had joined my family's subsidiary as assistant manager. You've probably heard of the bombing of the Securities Building, and he was one of the survivors. When we met him yesterday, I recognized him at a glance. It is no exaggeration to say that in his eyes, I saw pain and struggle...... Of course, I'm betting. I can't stop him from looking like him now, so I'm here to ask you for help. ”

"I wonder what you're bringing the entire JA Blade team in?" After silence, Jill asked rhetorically.

"To take their attention off my brother."

"Your brother?" He and Nodia were not only friends in general, but they had never heard of his brother, which was one of them. Second, why did his brother get involved with JA's Blade Squad? Wait, he suddenly thought of a man, in the brownstone house he had caught with Caroline Borg.

"His name is Borg and he is six years apart from me. We were half-siblings, but we had a good relationship, and we talked about everything, and in a way he freed me from my father's harshness. A month ago, he joined JA and became the captain of the first team. Because of him, I joined, but he was placed in the fourth team, a department that manages 'logistics', and because of this, I met Lisha. Well, off track. Have you heard of the explosion at the Securities Building? My brother has nothing to do with it, and that's why he's locked up in a dark room. "I took the initiative to tell the story of Hebrew so that I could get a head start. ”

And this matter is also thanks to Li Sha to tell him in advance. Unconsciously, he no longer knew how much he owed Li Sha.

"You help me, when I will owe you a big favor." Nodia slowly picked up the steel knife, "We still have 20 minutes to eat, if you can, move the fork." ”

Jill nodded.

"A personal question, what have you been up to lately?" Between meals, Nodia asked. Because 3 hours ago, he asked someone about the top of the JA and knew that Jill didn't go back.

"I'm working at a Seaton restaurant right now." Jill said. In order to go to a dinner appointment in Nodia, he was "absent" twice on the same day. John didn't say anything, but he knew that he had left a bad impression on the other person's mind.

"Working in a restaurant? It's not like there's anything you can do. ”

"You know, I have amnesia." Jill puts a piece of steak in his mouth.

"Sometimes, amnesia can be a good thing. I wish I could have met with something like this one day, provided I had an endless stream of wine in front of me. Nodia laughed.

The two finished dinner at 17:15, 10 minutes earlier than planned. In order to hide people's eyes, Nordia had already ordered a taxi. The taxi master is a jazz obsessive, so the 10-minute walk is indispensable.

"What's in the backpack?" Jill finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"It's the gear we're going to use tonight." Nodia lowered her voice and said, "I'll prepare your share too." ”

"Looks like you've been prepared."

Hebrew's wife and daughter, who had just turned 2, live in an apartment in Estoria. Nodia knocked on the door three times, but no one answered. He took out the Yuansheng instrument from his bag, placed it flat in his palm, and clicked the black button in the middle. It immediately protrudes from the bottom of a circular stand, rises to 1 centimeter, and then rotates regularly counterclockwise along the edges with green lines, and a three-dimensional picture of an apartment the size of a desk is projected into the air at the black buttons.

In the apartment, Winnie, holding a sleeping little girl, stood at the door of the bedroom, looking at the door. Meanwhile, in the middle of the sofa in the living room, Jill saw a large men's trench coat neatly stacked.

"Hmmm! I'm his friend, and I came here with no malice. Nodia took the Origin Instrument back, then pulled out a picture and stuffed it through the crack in the door underneath, "This is a picture of me and him, you can see it when you look at it." ”

Winnie put the little girl back in the crib. After glancing at the trench coat on the couch, he hurriedly picked it up and folded it back to the bedroom, tucking it into the closet. She breathed a little soothing, walked slowly to the door, and picked up the photo. In the photo, Hebrew and Nodia are smiling and standing shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the ring, showing off their biceps.

She opened the door after confirming through the cat's eye that it was me.

The whole apartment was neat and well organized. As soon as he entered, Jill noticed that the trench coat that had been stacked on the sofa was missing.

Winnie poured water for Jill and Nodia and sat down, "Please help him!" ”

"Has he ever been back?"

Winnie nodded: "Yesterday at noon, I was cooking, and the child who was sleeping in the nursery cried. Through the crack in the door of the nursery I saw a man crouched in front of the crib with a thick back, his hands clenched into fists and knuckles comforting the crying child. He quickly noticed me, turned around and looked at me before jumping out of the window of the room. I can recognize him as Hebrew, but why did he become like this? Winnie became agitated and quickly depressed.

"It's all Aglia's doing...... Did he leave any message? ”

"Ah, yes." Winnie got up and walked into the bedroom, and after a while came out, holding a piece of paper folded in half, "This is what he put under the child's pillow yesterday, and said he would come back at 18:30 today." As she spoke, she handed the paper to Nodia.

"18:30." Nodia muttered about the time repeatedly. JA set the official start time of the hunt at 7 p.m., and he only had half an hour to arrange the escape route of the Hebrews. After making all the calls and confirming it, he looked at the time, and it was already 18 o'clock.

"I'll get you something to eat." Winnie said.

"Well, I'm a little hungry when you say that." Nodia said, rubbing her stomach. He deliberately exaggerated a little to soften the atmosphere of the scene.

In the process of enjoying dinner, the time has come. "Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.

Winnie stood in front of the door and glanced back at Nodia and Jill, as if to say, "I'm going to open the door."

The door opened. Hebrew stood outside the door, holding a rose folded in red cardboard, and when he saw Nodia and Jill sitting in the room, he stopped trying to hand over the paper rose, and after thinking about something, continued to hand the paper rose into Winnie's hand.

"Come in." Winnie screamed inwardly at the sight of Hebrew's glowing green eyes, bruised forehead and cheeks, towering abnormal shoulders, and hands with sharp nails, but on the surface she was trying to hold back and act sanely.

"I'm sorry to let you see me like this." The Hebrews sat down opposite the Nordia. As he spoke, he smiled, his smile a little stiff. Winnie's hand shook unnaturally as it came to him.

Nodia shook her head: "Hebrew, last night's incident, I know you can't help it." You tell me, what happened to the Securities Building on June 14th? ”

"I distinctly remember the time was 10:10. At that time, I was about to take the elevator downstairs after finishing my business, but a piercing sound wave sounded, and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was held upright on a machine, with needles and tubes inserted all over my body, linked to the machine. I saw people like me standing in front of me, on the left and right, in rows. Soon, I passed out. When I woke up again, I was already like this. I could feel someone ordering me to kill someone, to be a killing machine. Maybe I broke free of a needle before, and I can only retain a trace of rationality now. But no matter how much I suppress it, after 19 o'clock my sanity will be occupied and eaten away by a command. I guess it won't be long before I lose control completely. ”

"There will be a way. Ever heard of JA? Seeing Hebrew nodding, Nodia continued, "It is estimated that they have already set up a walking barrier in the wrinkles of the building at this time, and you will definitely reveal your whereabouts when you enter and exit." While they were unprepared, we hurried out. Then he told Heber about his plans and plans.

"I cooperate." Heber said. He stood up and walked with Winnie to the nursery. The child is asleep. He gently picked up the child and kissed him gently on the forehead.

"We'll wait for you to come back." Winnie was close to the Hebrew, her eyes moistened.

"Gotta go." Nodia reminded. To be on the safe side, he had to make sure that the Hebrews were delivered to their destination on the island of Worth by 19 o'clock, and it would take at least 18 minutes to get from the apartment. He looked at the time, it was 18:38.

Warm moments are always so short-lived. Reluctantly, Hebrew handed the child to Winnie, touched the child's face with his knuckles, and got up. He put on the trench coat that Winnie had prepared for him to cover his back and hands, and left with Jill and Nodia.

When they reached the first floor, they didn't immediately walk out of the building.

"Little master, according to the instructions, I will help you solve it. This is the southeast corner of the building, and there is a small door that you can see when you come out to see a burgundy car. Nodia's cell phone rang. There was a rough voice from the other end, and there was a faint shouting on the side. After listening, he immediately hung up the phone.

At the intersection of 30th Ave and 33rd St in Estoria, there is a turnoff to Newtown Ave on 21st St, which shortens the journey considerably. But the problem is that 33rd St is a one-way street running east-west, so they have to do a retrograde one-way street.

This is naturally also part of the Nordia plan.

At this time, the three of them quietly got into the burgundy car. The driver was an uncle with snow-white hair and a black leather coat, listening to the accent and intonation, the same person on the other end of the phone. Before everyone could speak, he reported to his house and said that his name was Sartin.

"This brother of yours has very special eyes." Nodia was about to say something to prevaricate, but Satin said, "Forget it, the world is full of wonders, and there's nothing to make a fuss about. Sit tight. "Because it's the wrong way, and there are still a lot of vehicles on the road, changing lanes in the middle of the traffic makes Gil feel like they're on a pirate ship.

In a state of awakening excitement, the car quickly drove up to Newtown Ave. It's also a one-way street, but it's already going upstream, and the speed of the car is steadily increasing.

The car had just pulled past the intersection of Newtown Ave and 30th St.

"I'm being followed!" At Sardin's reminder, everyone noticed that they were followed by a swarthy old heavy motorcycle, and it was Caroline who sat on it. She had been secretly watching for Nodia, and had already set up a barricade at the intersection of 33rd St and 28th Ave, but she had never expected them to enter Newtown Ave in the wrong direction.

"How could she be here!" Nodia was taken aback.

"Someone I know!" Satin was taken aback. He slammed on the accelerator, but still couldn't shake off the locomotive.

"It's useless. If she wants to outdo you, she can do it easily. If she wants to follow, let her follow first. Nordia said. He didn't know what Caroline was up to, but he was determined not to hand over Hebrew.

After 5 minutes, the car crossed diagonally through a Yonago intersection into the 27th Ave. At the end of the road is a small baseball stadium adjacent to the River East, near which is an underwater suspension tunnel that was completed five days ago but has not yet been officially opened. It connects five places from underwater, including Queens, Watts Island, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Rikers, to form a large ring.

Before reaching the entrance, Nodia contacted Lisa and asked her to secretly open the door to the entrance.

While asking Lisa to open the door, Nodia also negotiated that Satin would close the door as soon as he entered the passage, in order to stop Caroline. However, when there was only a half-meter slit left in the gate, there was a loud sound, and two arcs of light opened a triangular passage in the middle of the gate. The locomotive passed through it safely.

"This little trick really can't stop her." Nodia said darkly.

It took them only 2 minutes to reach a tourist resort at the mouth of the central river on the west side of Worthy Island. This is the property of the Alan family, and Nodia will come here whenever she has free time and stay for many days.

"Luckily, I caught up." Nodia looked at the time, it was 18:52.

At the same time, the last Hebrew to get out of the car did not have time to close the door and began to struggle in pain with his head in his hands.

Everyone noticed the strangeness of Hebrew.

"Won't it be?" As soon as Nodia guessed what was happening, the Hebrews had fallen silent. He looked up, his green eyes devoid of life, and with a punch he slammed the car flat down the porch against the hotel door.

If it weren't for Jill and Nodia's fast flash, they would have to hang the lottery.
