Chapter 53: The Bondage of the Human Pillar
After another half an hour, Knox came out of the room where Russ's body was kept, with a tired face. After all, he is not young now, and he has been working at high intensity for nearly four hours in a row, which makes him really unbearable!
"How? Have you confirmed your identity? Passing over a handkerchief, Lisa asked a little eagerly.
"Identity?" Wiping his face with a handkerchief, Knox looked at Lisa suspiciously: "Didn't you ask me to confirm the cause of the president's death and whether it was an artificial person?" Why do I need to confirm my identity? ”
Frowning slightly, Lisa whispered, "Braida sent a notice an hour and a half ago that the president is still alive!" Mastan and Falman immediately returned to Central City! Here we are with Hubble and the Elric brothers! ”
With a frown furrowed, Knox glanced back at the blood-soaked makeshift workbench inside the half-hidden door, and whispered, "I can only confirm that it's not a person!" Although he has everything that people have, and he also ages, his body strength is much higher than that of ordinary people! Almost twice as many as ordinary people! As for its identity, I haven't been in contact with the president, so I can't make a judgment! ”
Lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Lisa straightened up and said seriously to Knox, "I understand! Thank you Dr. Knox! Now let's start with Chuoshi! ”
"Good!" Knox handed Lisa back the handkerchief, then turned to pack up his medical tools and got into Lisa's car and drove to Central City.
The car drove some distance, and Knox, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that there is a lot of trouble!" Is it okay to stay where Hubck is? ”
Driving in the dark at night can be a bit of a skill test, especially in a suburb where most roads are bumpy! Lisa looked at the road in front of her seriously by the headlights, and said calmly and firmly: "It's okay! ”
"That's fine! Don't bother me! Pursed his lips, Knox closed his eyes after saying this, there is still a little time to Central City, so take a break if you can!
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and Lisa's voice smiled slightly: "Are you worried about some things and just say no?" ”
"Less wordy! Concentrate on driving! I don't want a stupid way to die! His eyes didn't open, and Knox just pursed his lips unnaturally.
More than forty minutes later, Lisa arrived at Mastan's house with a slightly more energetic Knox.
"You're all here!" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mastan glared sharply, and only after seeing that it was Lisa and Knox softened, and said in a low voice, "Tell me about the situation over there!" ”
It took a few minutes to report everything that had happened in the suburban cottage, and Lisa stood silently on the sidelines, waiting for Mastan's opinion.
"Is that so?" However, what made Lisa a a little puzzled was that Mastan didn't ask more, but said in a low voice: "It seems that we are in a lot of trouble!" ”
"What's wrong?" Lisa's brows furrowed: "Could it be the big president?" ”
Nodding his head and putting his hands crossed on the table, Mastan looked at a notice on the table and said with a wry smile: "I received a notice telling me to report to the Central Command and the president tomorrow!" ”
Her eyes widened a little, Lisa's hands clenched unconsciously, and her cold voice was slightly nervous: "Did what we did be discovered?" ”
"Not to be discovered! Probably everything we do is right under the nose of that person! But," Mastan's brow furrowed, "Why don't you come and arrest me and tell me to report it myself!" ”
"Smack!" A crisp sound came from the side, and the people in the room looked in the direction where the sound came from, and it turned out that it was Knox who patted his forehead, only to see that his face was full of depression and said: "I knew that following you kid would not end well!" ”
The corners of his mouth curled, and Mastan smiled: "Didn't you tell you not to mix it a long time ago?" Do you regret it now? ”
"I really regret it!" Pursing his lips, Knox stared at Mastan and asked seriously, "Do you have any plans?" ”
Opening the drawer under the table, Mastan took out a stack of documents under a few bottles and cans, and while looking at it with a sharp gaze, he said coldly: "If Liu Hong's information is correct, I am probably a member of the so-called candidate column, and my life is generally not in danger!" But it's hard for you to say! ”
While communicating with Edward in the cottage in the suburbs, Edward and Mastan talked about the table in the living room of Liu Hong's house!
When Mastan returned to Central City, he went directly to Liu Hong's house, and then used alchemy to change part of Liu Hong's table, and took out the information and the Philosopher's Stone that Liu Hong had hidden inside!
"Smack!" The crunch came again, and it was still Knox who slapped his forehead: "Have you ever thought about how to deal with it?" ”
After a moment of silence, Mastan said, "I have a little idea, but it still depends on the situation tomorrow!"
Rubbing his temples to sober himself up a little, Knox got up and walked out: "I'll go back to sleep first, I don't understand these things, so I won't get involved!" Just invite me when you need me! ”
Watching Knox disappear behind the door, Mastan lowered his head and said, "Lisa"
"I'll go back first!" Lisa didn't wait for Mastan to finish, and walked out the door: "I'm sure you'll have a way!" And I'll be watching you from behind all the time! Give you a shot when you do something unforgivable! ”
When Lisa closed the door, Mastan looked at the empty room with a bitter smile on his face: "Have you been watching from behind?" ”
After a while, Mastan gradually restrained the wry smile on his face, looked through the information obtained from Liu Hong's residence, and said in a low voice in a voice that only he heard: "A human pillar who accepts his fate may be what they want most now!" A fateful pillar with a tie! ”
When the information was read again, Mastan opened the drawer, took out a bottle of bottles and cans inside, and put it in front of him, it was the Philosopher's Stone! The Philosopher's Stone obtained from Liu Hong's residence!
"I'm going to be the president! Reconciled? Looking at the red liquid in the bottle, Mastan's eyes gradually blurred.
The next day, Mastan, who was on his way to CENTCOM, took a bottle with him before going out!
But the strange thing about Mastan is that President Kim Bradley didn't say anything to him, just talked to him about the law and order problems in Central City!
That's not right! There are sentences and sentences chatting with Kim Bradley, but Mastan's heart is very uneasy!
"Colonel Mastan! Can I bother you with one thing? Kim Bradley, who was talking about the security of Central City, looked out the window and suddenly made a request to Mastan!
"What? Just tell me what you want! Mastan was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and said respectfully. But there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart!
"Lieutenant Lisa Hawk Ai is said to have good eyesight! Can I be seconded? Kim Bradley said with a smile on his face: "You know that my wife and children don't have much ability to protect themselves!" So I wanted to call Lieutenant Hawk Ai as a bodyguard to protect my wife and children for a while! ”
His eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Kim Bradley with his back to him in front of him, and Mastan's heartbeat instantly accelerated to the point that he felt like he was about to jump out of his throat!
What's going on? Arrange Lisa as a bodyguard? Isn't this giving me hostages? Didn't the President find out what I was doing? No, no, no! Impossible! The previous circumstances all showed that the upper echelons of the military were already suspicious of me, let alone the president! But why? Why? A bunch of questions came straight out of his head, and Mastan forgot to answer them for a moment.
"What? Don't want to? Turning around slowly, Kim Bradley's expression instantly sank, just like the sky where a thunderstorm was coming, very terrifying!
When Kim Bradley turned around, Mastan put away his expression, bowed his head and said respectfully: "It's not that I don't want to!" It's just that Madame and Son-in-law already have bodyguards, don't they? I'm afraid that Lieutenant Hawk Ai is not capable enough to take on this important task! ”
Hearing Mastan's answer, Kim Bradley's expression instantly became bright again: "Don't worry! All I need is Lieutenant Hawk Ai's eyesight! It's said to be ten times that of ordinary people, right? What a ability that neighbors admire and envy! ”
Just need Lisa's eyesight? Just need? Mastan, who lowered his head, frowned slightly.
I see! Hostage! But wouldn't it be better to be on your side?
Wait a minute! Cyborgs don't have children! Could it be that the president's wife and his children are both androids?
And so on and so forth! This guy doesn't seem to be the big president! This guy has always felt a little weird to me! I haven't had that feeling like a big president! Could it be that the dead android is really the president! This one is fake!
Borrowing a knife to kill? Kill everyone who knows the president best! And then there's a justifiable reason to arrest Lisa?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Mastan's Naihai, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't think of that place!
"So be it! I'll send you the next paperwork later!" Kim Bradley sat down in his place, then picked up a document and read: "I'll leave the matter to you!" Colonel Mastan, with your abilities, you can definitely do it well, right? ”
"Of course!" Although his mind was full of gangs, Mastan still stood up and saluted and answered loudly.
"Then you go back first!" After reviewing the documents in his hand, Kim Bradley raised his head, looked at Mastan with a serious and indifferent expression, and said, "I hope there will be no more problems in Central City!" ”
"Yes!" Mastan replied loudly, and then left the president's office with his head held high.
When Mastan left, Kim Bradley threw the papers aside, leaned back on the back of the chair without any image at all, looked up at the ceiling and sneered: "Pride, I got you a little friend!" I hope you don't play it badly! That's a good thing to use to bind people! ”
That voice was Envi's voice!
As he left CENTCOM, Mastan glanced back at the office of the Grand President, then walked silently to his office with a frown.
Why, exactly? For Kim Bradley's arrangement, Mastan is still confused!
