After more than 2 hours of rapid driving, the vehicle finally drove off the high road, entered the high-tech district of New York City, and finally stopped under a modern building full of science fiction appearance.

After Li Mo got out of the car, he took a look at the building, and did not go directly to the door, but walked around the neighborhood, and finally chose a Western restaurant that looked the most upscale.

The three of them sat down in an inconspicuous position, ordered a drink at random, and sat quietly without saying a word, as if waiting for something.

Soon, when it was close to noon, the number of people in the western restaurant began to increase, and most of the people who came were elite people wearing casual clothes, but they did not lose their temperament, and they looked like technical researchers working nearby.

A man about 4o, in a straight suit, and meticulously groomed his head walked in, immediately attracted Li Mo's attention, but Li Mo did not rush up, but waited for the man to sit down to finish the meal and enjoy the after-dinner coffee comfortably, before standing up and walking over.

"Hello Mr. Hudson Oliver, please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting your lunchtime." Li Mo didn't wait for the other party's invitation, so he sat on the opposite side by himself, squinting his eyes and smiling to say hello.

Hudson Oliver frowned and looked at Li Mo for a while, and then asked in a voice as strict as his appearance: "I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of talking to others during meal times, if you have anything, you can make an appointment with my assistant first, and now please disappear from my face." ”

Hudson was not surprised that his name was pronounced, as the head of Reed Technology, even if he was a well-known figure in the entire circle, it was not uncommon for people to come to talk about cooperation in the past.

Li Mo was unmoved, and said to himself: "Mr. Oliver, I will only occupy you for 1 minute." ”

Hudson's face was displeased when he heard this, but before he could answer, Li Mo continued: "Maybe you should have heard about the recent events in a red-light neighborhood in Brooklyn. ”

Hudson originally wanted to open his mouth to drive people away, but after hearing Li Mo's words, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, and he took a sip of the coffee in front of him, without interrupting Li Mo or wanting to speak.

Li Mo comprehended, lowered his voice and continued: "The tens of thousands of people in the entire neighborhood disappeared out of thin air, but there were no other clues, and even the stove in the kitchen was still burning. ”

Hudson said unmoved: "I'm not a police officer, if you know something, you can go to the police station and report it." ”

Li Mo smiled mysteriously and said, "My companion and I happened to pass by there and saw something that common sense couldn't explain. ”

Hudson put down the remaining 1/3 of the coffee cup, and said coldly as he made a gesture to pack up his things and leave: "1 minute has arrived, if you have anything else, go talk to my assistant." ”

Li Mo sat still and didn't move, his palm turned over, no one could see what was going on, and suddenly an ordinary small box appeared in his hand, and it was placed on the table with a light weight.

Seeing this miraculous change, Hudson's movements couldn't help but froze, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the box, and his sharp eyes seemed to be about to see through the shell of the box to see what was inside. When Li Mo deliberately opened a gap in the lid and exposed a corner of the scene inside, Hudson's face finally showed a look of emotion.

Noticing Hudson's gaze, Li Mo showed a handy smile, closed the lid without a trace, and then pushed the box in his direction a little, so as to look at Hudson for a long time.

The mysterious incident in the red light block did cause a lot of shock in New York City, but this is limited to a few people with special source channels, after all, tens of thousands of people have disappeared out of thin air without explanation, and leaking it will inevitably cause uncontrollable turmoil in the social situation, Hudson can know about this incident, but because the wave behind him is Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, one of the Fantastic Four, and one of the secret members of the Illuminati. Despite this, Hudson knew very little, and according to his later speculation, this time it was definitely a catastrophic event caused by a natural phenomenon, and he had also asked Mr. Fantastic Reed to go to the scene to investigate, in an attempt to get some unexpected gains. However, the application was immediately denied and warned not to interfere without permission.

As the head of Reed Technology, Hudson is not only responsible for the publication of scientific research results, but also a rare researcher in human genetics. It's just that Reed himself is an authoritative researcher, even among mutants, he is considered a top figure, and any research on nature that cannot be made public is his own big package, and he will never let the people below come into contact, so although Hudson is the head of Reed Technology, he usually participates in some project research in the theoretical stage, and he can't get in touch with the real core at all.

Hudson's inner thoughts are easy to scrutinize, just like a senior clerk in a bank, watching countless bills pass by his hand every day, and always have some fantasies and ** that should not be there. If one day you see an opportunity to make this fantasy a reality, there is a good chance that you will have an irresistible impulse...... If this kind of opportunity does not seem to have any danger and cost, then the result is that it is better to act than to be tempted......

Now Li Mo is equivalent to putting such an opportunity in front of Hudson, but Hudson has also experienced some battles, and he has not been carried away by temptation, and after a moment of measurement and hesitation, he has slightly recovered some of his senses.

Hudson stared at Li Mo with eyes full of jealousy and suspicion, and asked sternly, "What do you want?" ”

At this moment, the system's prompt suddenly sounded in Li Mo's ears:

"Hint: You've successfully exposed Hudson Oliver to residual pituitary gland (special), you have a few options."

a. Gift the remaining pituitary gland (special) to Hudson for a certain amount of friendship and a small amount of reward, depending on your charisma attributes and other factors.

b. Sell the residual pituitary gland (special) to Hudson for a large amount of payment, but it is very likely that Hudson will have a bad feeling for you and refuse to continue contact with you.

Neither of these choices came as a surprise to Li Mo, and choosing the first one would allow you to increase your friendship with Hudson and thus touch another side quest, or use it as a breakthrough to contact Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards.

And the second option is a one-shot deal, as long as it is within Hudson's ability, Li Mo will basically not be rejected if he opens it.

However, no matter which of these two options is what Li Mo wants, what Li Mo needs most urgently to solve now is to extend the time of the main quest that is about to expire.

Li Mo's gaze flickered, and then he suddenly put away the box, and the sudden action made Hudson stunned, and his eyes blinked a few times involuntarily, as if he wanted to see where the box went.

"What do you mean by that?" Hudson's face was already clearly angry, and it was conceivable that if Li Mo's next answer did not satisfy him, he would definitely immediately lower his friendliness.

"Mr. Oliver, please don't worry, do you think we should really continue talking here?"

Hudson's face was full of anger, but he didn't speak, obviously agreeing with Li Mo's words. If the contents of the box are really the same as he thinks, and it is really not suitable for such a public conversation, Hudson is aware of the pervasive ability of those people, and believes that if the contents of the box are revealed, a group of people will appear here within 1o minutes and invite them to go to a certain place for tea.

Hudson glanced at the positions of Yang Zheyi and Acrylic, frowned and said, "It's inconvenient for me to bring too many people in and out. ”

Li Mo flicked his fingers and said very cooperatively: "The environment here is so comfortable, I believe that my companion must be very willing to spend a pleasant afternoon enjoying coffee here." ”

Hudson's frown eased slightly when he heard this, and he dropped a sentence: "When I leave, you can go again, go directly to the elevator in the garage, and I will arrange to meet you." Then he put down a dollar and got up and left.

Li Mo waited until Hudson had walked for about 2o minutes before he got up, glanced in the direction of Yang Zheyi and Acrylic, and then left the café.

Li Mo put his hands in his pockets and pretended to be a passerby and stood on the side of the road for a while, and it didn't take long for a truck with Reed Technology 1ogo on the exterior to come from the street, and it drove in front of him, and no one noticed that a person on the street disappeared out of thin air.

The truck passed through the security checkpoint and drove all the way into the underground garage, and when it turned a corner, a black shadow flashed under the car, and then quickly rushed into the elevator hall with a degree that the camera did not have time to capture.

In the monitoring room, the surveillance video of the No. 2 elevator suddenly went white, and the whole process lasted less than 1 minute, and the security personnel on duty noticed that they only thought it was a real room in this building and was doing something terrible, and the guide was similar to an electromagnetic pulse accident, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

Li Mo didn't press the floor after entering the elevator, and after waiting for a while, the elevator suddenly moved automatically, and the floor number did not appear on the display screen, and he didn't know how long it had been improved, the elevator shook and stopped, and a closed metal passage appeared in sight when the door opened.

Li Mo walked all the way down the passage, and encountered several closed special glass portals along the way, he didn't stop and walked on, after walking about 5o meters, a glass door in front of him suddenly opened automatically, and Li Mo walked straight in without thinking.

This is obviously Hudson's private laboratory, although the scale is not large, but the equipment is very advanced and complete, it is not a problem to use it for initial research, and when there are certain results, it can be transferred to the large real room to cooperate with other researchers.

Hudson saw Li Mo, and he didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Make your conditions." ”
