Chapter 7 New Events
He happened to bump into Jill coming out of the elevator. The two recognized each other.
However, Nodia only glanced at Jill in a hurry, and did not intend to stop: "I don't want to pay attention to anyone now, let alone my enemy." ”
This sentence, like a tranquilizer, made Jill freeze his whole person.
"Well, he's in a bad mood." Jill said to herself.
When he stood at the exit, he realized that there was a quantum teleportation station here, and he could choose different locations as the landing point of the teleportation.
He chose Brooklyn. When he came out, he looked around and found himself in a communal cemetery. In front of him was a 2-meter-high stone tower tombstone. There are also quite a few such tombstones around, so it is not conspicuous.
It's a little over a 10-minute bike ride from Seaton Restaurant. Before leaving, he called and made an appointment for an interview in half an hour. Because he still had plenty of time, he temporarily decided to change to walking, just in time to get acquainted with his surroundings. After all, he couldn't guarantee that this place was still the same as he remembered?
Familiar with the environment, he still arrived at Seaton Restaurant 5 minutes early. John is a middle-aged man, well maintained, and looks unusually energetic. His voice was the same as on the phone, like a bell.
"The most generous condition I can give you is that you work from 9 to 5, with no more and no less, and you can be allowed to skip work when necessary." John said.
"Thank you, thank you." Jill said solemnly.
"You're welcome, Miss will naturally have to do something."
"Dare to ask, what is the identity of your young lady?" Two minutes later, Jill asked curiously.
"You hesitated just now, which means that you know that this should not be asked, and in the same way, I will not ask you where you are from and why you came here to work."
"That's right." Jill laughed.
After leaving Seaton, Gill spent $20 and traveled to many locations in New York to negotiate with five other shareholders in addition to JA's four major shareholders. He got straight to the point and explained his intentions while placing the chips in front of them.
They had to say yes. When he was done, Jill looked at the time, and it was already 17:10, and the sky was already dark.
After a busy day, with the remaining 1 hour and 50 minutes, he was ready to go for a drink. He remembered a bar called "Copper & Oak", not far from his current location. This bar was where he first met Nodia, when they were college students, and they drank together until dawn, and finally Nodia settled the bill.
The lights inside are bright, as if there is a kind of magic, and stepping into it can make people unguard and admit themselves.
In the corner of the counter, Jill saw Nodia, who was pouring herself drunk. He went to the counter and deliberately sat down a few seats away from Nodia. Thirty seconds later, Nodia saw him and beckoned him to come over and sit together.
"Why are you here?" Nodia asked.
"I suddenly want to drink, so I came over for a drink."
Nodia beckoned the bartender to bring a wine glass, picked up a bottle of whiskey in front of him and poured it into Jill's glass: "I invite you to celebrate your return alive." ”
Jill raised his glass and thanked Nodia.
After three rounds of drinking, it was already 19:02. The two walked out of the bar with their arms, and just crossed the corner, they saw a woman with heavy makeup, bright clothes, and a typical European and American appearance stumbling in front of them. Both of them felt that she was just like them, just drunk, and didn't care very much. Suddenly, a figure flashed, as fast as lightning, and dragged the woman away.
"Save ...... ...... life," the woman's scream drifted through the air, getting weaker and weaker.
Jill and Nodia are also quite sober. They chased after her, only to see that the woman had been pierced through the chest with a bayonet and fixed against the wall, her eyes full of horror. The murderer hasn't gone far; Fifty meters ahead, the figure turned sideways, staring at a pair of dark green shining eyes, like a wild beast, grinning and roaring at them. For a moment, they were stunned, and by the time they reacted, the man had already run away.
"What's that?" Nodia turned to Jill with a blank expression, "Vampires? But he doesn't seem to have fangs. ”
"Nope." Jill responded.
"Hurry up and contact the Blade Squad guys." Nodia's gaze accidentally bumped into the woman again, and after a pause, she immediately turned away, and said as she resisted vomiting.
"I don't know them well, and today is my first time going."
"Impossible, right?" Nodia looked at Jill with incredulous eyes. Then, he took out his mobile phone, shook it in front of Jill and dialed the phone number of Lisha, the captain of the fourth team, and briefly explained what had happened.
It was Caroline who came to meet them.
"After receiving a call from Lisha, I was finally sure that she was the one who gave you the news. Right, Nordia? She surveyed the scene and said to Nodia, "The smell of alcohol on your body is so strong, how much must you drink?" It's strange to say, I know you love to drink to drown your sorrows, but why did you still bring Jill? Drunk so drunk, not afraid of danger! ”
"It just happened. Who knew he would come. Nodia rubbed her temples gently, "But, he feels weird, as if he can't remember me?" ”
"He had amnesia...... Let's talk about what's going on. Caroline said.
Next, Nodia began to tell the whole story.
"I think it has something to do with Agria, but how that monster came to be, maybe you can only know if you catch it."
"My players will be there in 10 minutes. You two go first. Caroline continued.
Nodia didn't take a few steps, then turned to Caroline and said, "I'll be back to JA tomorrow, remember to talk to Jayne." Welcome will be free of charge. ”
"Don't worry, it won't help you save money." Caroline waved her hand.
The next day, Jill received a news feed reporting two killings, the victims of which were the second and third sons of the Bailey Group. They were pierced through the chest with bayonets and pinned to the wall, but the difference was that they died indoors and there were other dead people present.
"It's another gust of white terror." Jill sighed. However, now he really can't take care of this.
It was his first day working at a Seaton restaurant. Because I was already familiar with the environment before, and I already knew the dining process of Western food well, I was naturally handy at work. The first guest he served was Maia. Maia told him that she had come to see him on purpose to see if he would fit in. For some reason, listening to Maia's words, one of his nerves was inexplicably touched.
As Jill came out of the back kitchen with a Wellington steak, he bumped into James, one of JA's four largest shareholders and the person he was going to negotiate today.
"Jill?" James smiled gently, and after confirming Jill's identity, he added, "I'm a regular visitor here, and I only came here the day before yesterday, so I can tell that you just came here to work." I've been missing for more than half a year, but I didn't expect to meet here. Are you going to experience life here and not go back to JA? ”
"Actually, if I didn't meet here, I would have gone to you." Jill ignored James' question, "You wouldn't mind inviting me to dine with you, would you?" After getting his consent, he consulted John and went back to the break room to change into his usual attire.
Sitting opposite to James by the lake. It is an artificial lake, but it is no different from the lake in the primeval forest, and it is full of nature.
"Let's talk about it." James said.
"I want you to be on my side." Jill said, the words sonorous and powerful.
James laughed: "If I understand correctly, you want to kick Beckett out of JA, right?" But you should know the answer, after all, I am a businessman and will not do anything that is not good for me. ”
"I'm sure you'll change your mind." Jill stared into James' eyes, "If I remember correctly, you don't have a good relationship with Monica, the financial director. In October last year, you asked Monica to use her position to embezzle 50 million public funds, part of which was used to buy a luxury yacht, which was parked at Pier 17, and ......"
"Enough. How do you know this? James' eyes rolled from side to side, and his expression became flustered.
He got up, stood facing the lake, and calmed down: "Don't think that knowing this will force me to comply. Who can be sure you're not playing a squib to trick me? ”
"If there is no basis, you think I will look for you? Or, you can wait until tomorrow to see if what I say is true or false. Jill leaned back in his chair and sat down for five seconds before slowly getting up to leave.
"I promised." As soon as Jill turned around, James's voice rang out.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Regardless of the eventual success or failure, I will not keep that information. I would also like you to keep our conversation in absolute secrecy. Thank you for your lunch. Jill didn't look back as he spoke, and continued to stride away after speaking.
James returned to his position, but his hand holding the steel fork stopped in mid-air and slammed it on the table. His grip on the steel knife tightened tightly, as if trying to melt it in the palm of his hand. "This little ghost!" James muttered through gritted teeth.
Let's say, when Nodia got up early in the morning and saw the two murders that came out, she didn't even have time to pick out her clothes and left the departure area. He was originally a member of the fourth team, but this time he voluntarily switched teams and joined the second team and became a member of Caroline's team. At this moment, he also boasted of being the vice captain of the second team and forcibly participated in the round table meeting in the morning.
"The identity of the woman who was killed near the bar yesterday was confirmed to be the PR manager of the Baileys Group, Alisa. She is the lover of Lannister, the third son of the Bailey Group. Obviously, Aglia wants to take advantage of the Bailey Group this time. Jayne said.
"They create their own incidents and create public opinion by themselves, which are all habitual routines." Lao Yang said, "I won't have anything fresh." ”
"Let's think about what we can do. Enough of the accumulated problems. Jayne said again.
"I have, I wonder if you want to hear it?" Nodia raised her hand, "But, before I say that, I have one condition that allows me to talk to my brother face to face. Promise me, I just said. ”
"Do we have to promise you if you talk nonsense? What to buy. Lao Yang made a disdainful expression.
Nodia did not respond.
"I promised you." Jayne said again.
"As you know, there was another incident before these two incidents, which happened yesterday at around 19:09. Before entering this room, I carefully looked at the surveillance video three times, and I always felt that he looked like the assistant manager of one of my family's subsidiaries, Hebrew. He had some intersections with my brother, so I had an impression of him. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that he was also present at the time of the explosion of the Securities Building. I've verified. Isn't his presence before us in such a way not enough to say something? ”
"Because I wasn't 100 percent sure he was Hebrew, we had to catch him. By catching him, many questions can be solved, such as how did he become like this? His daughter and wife were our breakthrough. Nodia stood up and continued.
"You mean, we're waiting?"
"No, I'm sure he'll go." However, Nodia himself knows that he has no confidence in saying this, and is just learning from a gambler to bet on size. He hopes that today's lady luck will favor him as scheduled.
"You can try. I believe that as long as it is properly deployed, it will not take much manpower and material resources to arrest a person. All of you here would like to share your own views. Jayne looked at the others.
"I'm okay with that." Ina said.
Lisa was silent.
"Does my opinion matter?" Old Yang yawned.
After the operation deployment was discussed, Nodia secretly went to the mechanical depot of the Blade Team located on the negative floor of JA. The whole room is in the shape of a flat cylindrical shape, not too big or small, with a passage running through the whole room, and on each side there are five rows of red-painted one-person-high iron shelves, on which are hung various equipment such as plasma guns, batteries, bionic fiber protective suits, gravitational bombs, etc.
"In 10 days, the guys in the R&D department don't seem to have researched anything new." He picked up the plasma gun, "Next time, I'll have to ask Fernando to customize an exclusive weapon for me, I've thought of a name, it's called a saber." Thinking about it, Nodia chuckled smugly.
He thought of Jill: "I almost forgot about him." He is a master of the black section of taekwondo, so he should be a good helper. So, he picked up another plasma gun. Then, he picked up two mini primaries and two spherical gravitational bombs and put them in his backpack.
He asked for Jill's phone IP through Caroline, and sent a message that read: At 17 o'clock, the Berne Hotel, I invite you to dinner. Gotta come.
