Chapter 40: Chase and Escape

Just now, he saw several paparazzi stalking him.

As a senator, especially Eddie, a man who aspires to become the president of the United States, the exposure rate is definitely not low, which also makes him have a lot of inexplicable people around him to spy on him.

At first, Eddie thought it was an underworld boss like the beginning, and when he came to find him trouble, he went up to punch and kick, but later learned that this was a paparazzi reporter who specialized in tracking popular politicians and digging up their lace news.

Eddie let him go angrily and funny, but the next day the news broke the headline:

Is the new senator beating up a journalist in the street, is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?

Fortunately, even if Eddie found out, he didn't let this matter continue to ferment after making great public relations efforts.

Later, with the continuous improvement of his ability, Eddie's brain became more and more efficient in receiving information around him, and could also deduce whether the people around him had malicious intentions towards him, so as to distinguish whether it was the paparazzi or the bad guy who followed him.

It is precisely because of this ability that Eddie has escaped the crisis many times and strangled the danger in the cradle in time.

The world only saw my brilliance, but they didn't see my frightening steps.

I found a restaurant with large floor-to-ceiling windows that give it a sense of nobility and elegance, and make it easy to observe things outside the window.

"Honey, let's eat here."

Eddie whispered softly to his girlfriend Linda.

"Okay, listen to you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and slowly walked into the restaurant.

lit the candles on the table, and the whole atmosphere instantly became romantic, and Eddie was also full of witty words, and the exchange between him and Linda was very happy.

Although Eddie was communicating with Linda and his eyes were looking directly at her, it was inevitable that some other information would automatically flow into his mind.

For example, although she looks directly at her girlfriend Linda, Linda's entire image only occupies 60% of the retina, and 40% of the image information is constantly coming into Eddie's mind.

And the sounds around him, whether it was the confidential chat of the guests next to him or the roar of cars outside the restaurant, all of which kept coming to Eddie's mind.

This state is very painful, even if his brain can process this information, but so much information still keeps his brain running uninterrupted, and gives him a great load.

For ordinary people, the vast majority of information in life will be ignored by us, and the attention of our poor brain can only focus on one thing, and other things will be subconsciously ignored by us, because the brain cannot process so many details.

Eddie's brain has reached a terrifying point after being stimulated by NZT and developed twice, which also allows his brain to process "infinite details" instead of being ignored like normal people.

This is also a side effect of an overdeveloped brain, and in the end, Eddie still can't control the rate of his brain in the same way that he controls his own muscles.

This also caused a terrible consequence, far beyond the ordinary human brain energy consumption is amazing, three meals a day to provide energy is simply not enough, every day he has to inject high-purity nutrient solution to maintain body function.

Just like there is a legend in the Chinese national art world, in order to maintain normal daily consumption, those who are advanced in kung fu must eat a cow a day, and eat too much, and they have to go to the toilet many times a day.

Those who want to be superhuman often have to bear a huge price, whether it is superhuman ability or status.

And in order to be afraid that others would find out about his abnormality, so he could only inject the concentrated nutrient solution he had prepared every night when no one was around.

This also meant that he had to endure a huge energy expenditure every day in order to be replenished at night.

Although this state has many drawbacks, it is still useful most of the time, for example, at this time.

While chatting with Linda, Eddie observed several people in black suits loitering in front of the restaurant, and most people could only think that these people were the bodyguards of a certain big man or something, but Eddie clearly found through the number of times they looked at the door of the restaurant and their actions that these guys were coming for him.

Cars drove slowly down the street in front of him, and Eddie kept recalling the previous scene and receiving the information in front of him, and slowly, a chain of cause and effect formed in front of Eddie's eyes, and he had determined that at least three cars surrounded the restaurant.

Add stopped speaking suddenly, his face becoming solemn, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth so that others could not read what he said through his lips.

And his girlfriend also looked at him suspiciously, waiting for his next step.

"Someone is following me, it looks menacing, you go out first in a while, pretend to look at the wind, turn right, there is a reporter there, you tell him that you have big news about me to break the news, but the requirement is to leave here immediately, understand?"

The girlfriend held her chin in one hand and nodded gently.

Obviously, similar incidents are not once or twice, she knows that she stays only a burden, and may even become a bargaining chip for the enemy to threaten Eddie, so she quickly slips away, anyway, every time Eddie can turn evil into good, she is not worried about Eddie's ability and safety at all.

Wearing a black dress and stepping on high heels, she walked lightly towards the door step by step, naturally took out a cigarette and lit it gently, and Linda also walked out of the door.

And Eddie didn't deliberately stare at Linda and walked out, holding a glass of wine and sipping it gently, as if waiting for Linda to come back.

In order not to startle the snake, and at the same time, they didn't see that Linda was going to escape, thinking that she was just out to smoke a cigarette, so they let her go, after all, they were given the task of catching Eddie.

"You guys don't hide, recognize me, I have something to look for you." Linda crossed her waist with one hand and held a cigarette in the other, showing domineering.

The two paparazzi looked at each other, at a loss.

"Waiter, check out."

Inside a black car.

"Boss, the target is coming out soon." A black suit spoke over a walkie-talkie.

"Good, it went as planned!"

"Yes!"

After Eddie finished settling the bill, he pretended to be casual and walked out, gently pushing open the glass door, and several figures in the distance gradually approached him.

His eyes swept around, his mind constantly constructing three-dimensional figures, and in the blink of an eye, he conceived several escape routes.

It's not time yet. Add looked at the approaching big men, waiting for the right moment.

A group of people who had just finished eating walked out of the glass door, and a few more people walking and running came in the distance, instantly blocking the sight of a few black suits.

"It's time, run!"
