Chapter 128: Mary's Scream
Mary has the same hair and skin color as her predecessor, and even has the same body shape. There is also a difference, now she is more innocent than the previous Mary, there is not too much dust in her eyes, and the texture of her skin looks younger.
Of course, there was still a stubborn fear of Archie in her consciousness. The indescribable pain of her forerunner when she suffered a fatal blow from the back to the back, and the fear she had gathered during her brief dying phase were quickly transformed into a toxin by the living body, which was transported to every cell and stored before it was completely stiffened.
It wasn't Hejing's fault, she just wanted Mary to come back to life at the time, and even wanted the reborn Mary to keep everything she had in life, including her memories. It's just that Hejing can't do it accurately, it's all providence.
The Marie in front of her was fine when she faced Archie, and she always felt that this person had a good side to herself. But as soon as she turned her back to Archie later, she wanted to run away screaming.
Elder Archie intended to keep Mary an eternal secret, meaning that Mary would never be seen again. After that commotion, she was included in the notice of missing persons issued on the moon.
If someone finds her coming out of the old Hobbit office, it will pose a mortal threat to Archie's position.
There was no need to worry about Mary's food, because Elder Archie had quietly changed his ration to 6 pieces of jerky, two pieces for Mary, and 4 pieces for himself.
When Mary faced hunger, she put those fears in a corner that could be ignored. After all, those toxins need energy support to get the message they want to express into her brain.
As Mary munched on the jerky, the elder would personally hand her drink. At this time, she often sat in the deep chair that Hobbit had sat in before his death, and the new elder Archie next to her was like a waiter.
Archie could not enjoy the chair, either standing or lying down. The problem is getting worse and worse, and he can't help but jump on his feet when he walks.
As Marie ate, Archie turned on the large screen on the wall and played out the confidential sample that Yamada had given him when he was on the moon. This sample was Marley's favorite in her lifetime, and now, she stopped chewing, her eyes fixed on the big screen.
Able received a report from his cronies that the elder had gone to his father's office.
The big leader immediately put down his work, took his men and pistols, and hurried over in a car.
Marie's absence of a human being alive or dead on the moon has made Abel suspicious. He had searched every flower area and every dwelling on the moon, not even the garbage cans. He had also searched the offices of several other former elders, but Abble found nothing.
And there are no secrets in Archie's office. Lilith, Abel's sister, doesn't go to work much now, but she knows the password to Archie's office, which means her brother knows.
There was only one place that Able had never entered, and that was the office of the elder Hobbit. He couldn't go in while Archie was away, because Elder Archie had kept the most advanced combination lock on the door of this office, and added a metal lock that had been obsolete on the moon for some years, and needed a key to open it.
It's not that Able can't open it, but it can't be restored after opening it with brute force, so the secret in this office has always been unknown to Able.
He arranged for his men to keep an eye on the place, and found that their new elder had to come over alone once or twice a day.
Able ruled out the possibility that Archie was going to remember the Hobbit, because since the death of the Hobbit, Archie has hardly shed a tear, nor has he mentioned anything about Hobbit in front of anyone.
Also, on the day of the commotion, when Able left the stage, he saw that there were still a few people left on the stage, and Archie was one of them. Abel couldn't guess who else would be interested in Mary but him.
Those elders who have lost their power have already been asked by Abel, and there is no need for Able to come forward in this matter, and his subordinates will go by alone, and there will be means to make them tell the truth. All clues suggest that Marie's disappearance has the most to do with Archie.
Able led his men to the door of the Hobbit's office, and saw that the metal lock was not on the door, and that Ming Archie was still inside.
The metal lock is faithful and reliable, but there are also things it can't do. It's that a person can't get inside the door, close the door and then use it to lock the door. Archie took it inside.
What's next? His men hesitated, even Able. Throughout, Archie was his immediate boss to Abel, who was always obedient. Sometimes he was dissatisfied, but he never explicitly resisted orders.
With Abel's current powers, it wasn't too difficult to get hold of the code on the door of the old hobbit's office, and he had already done it. Now it's a question of whether he wants to go in or not. He knew that Archie was inside, so how could he go in?
One of his subordinates saw the hesitation of the big leader, and came up with an idea, "Just when we patrol here, we see that there is no lock on the door, and there seems to be a thief in the house......"
Reasons and excuses always make some ridiculous things seem righteous, and even reassure the person who does the bad thing. Archie agreed, thinking that this was the reason why he had to enter the door.
He stepped forward, put his finger on the combination lock and typed a string of numbers, and the door opened silently. A woman's scream came out in an instant, and although the voice was out of tune, Abel heard it as Mary's. He pulled out the pistol he had prepared, kicked open the door and rushed in.
He saw Mary lying on the floor, and Archie was stepping on her back barefoot. He had no socks on, his pants off, a pair of bird-like legs, and the pointed armor on each toe an inch long, and he kept stamping on Marley's back, already tearing the wedding dress she was wearing.
Mary's greatest fear was that someone was behind her. And Archie stepped on her like a rooster not only behind her, but she was so frightened that her limbs spasmed, her heart cramped, and her voice screamed instinctively.
Archie woke up from his obsession, and he jerked his head to see Able aiming his gun at him. The fear of guns is inherent in the birds' genes, and he jumped off Mary's body and jumped out of the door over the heads of the men with great agility.
