Each Conceives a Ghost Child (54)
On September 21, 2045, the day after the attack on the hospital, Joyce walked into the Night Gentleman early.
The Night Gentleman is the largest entertainment venue in the city of Degus, located in the center of the downtown area of Degus, it is surrounded by the 50-storey Degus Trade Building, and the largest office building - Wanli Office Building, 6 floors high, the architectural style is very luxurious, and even has a little fragrant atmosphere, neon lights from top to bottom under the entire building, every night, he is the most bewitching place in Degus. The natural geographical advantages and such luxurious decoration have made it a leisure place for many celebrities.
A foot bathroom on the fourth floor of the night gentleman.
Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, lay down slowly in the soft chair, closed her eyes, and the events of the recent period came to mind.
"Mayor, I think all places in Dergus must be activated S-class alert, now everyone is in danger, and I am afraid that the strength is not enough to stabilize the mood of the citizens!" Bledsoe was very excited.
"I told you before that those locations start S-class, and the others are all A-class," Joyce's tone was very calm and composed.
"Mayor"
"Don't say it, you can't bear to let them be at the mercy of this!"
Bledsoe was speechless.
"Don't give them space, how do you let them show their feet. ”
Seeing that Bledsoe was still a little shaken, the mayor grabbed the chief's shoulder with one hand. "Don't be afraid, give me a little more time. I'm sure I'll be able to pull them out. ”
The director looked at the mayor's resolute eyes, and the confidence between his eyebrows, and finally nodded.
The masseuse's technique, soft and rigid, every force, neither light nor heavy, is just right, so that the mayor's fatigue for so long has dissipated most of it.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Comfortable - after being in the underworld for so long, this technique is still there"
Suddenly, I felt a piercing pain in the soles of my feet, "Ah, it hurts! I won't say it," and then I felt the fingers of the man who was massaging lighten.
"My good mayor, the hardships of the past three years are not thanks to you. The man's tone was full of complaint.
Joyce laughed and got back to business
"It seems that Penelope is still a little aware of the previous hospital incident. We'll have to be more careful next time. ”
"Since the last incident at the West Street Crestle family, he has begun to be suspicious, and the speed of the police is too fast. But luckily, the madman at the police station has a close relationship with the Krystel family, otherwise I don't know if I would have survived until now. ”
Joyce lifted her foot and splashed the massage man's face with foot-washing water. "What do you say!!" the mayor paused. "Tell me, what's going on lately. ”
"This Penelope is so cunning that all the incidents, even if they go up, will only be traced to a man named Walter. This person named Walter, except for the stupid look, a hundred loyalty to the old man, there is nothing special, but another person makes me very relieved, his name is James, all day long with a straight face, even if we get along for three years, I still don't know him very well, I recently heard from Kevin, only to know that this named James turned out to be an officer who retired from the revolutionary army, it is said that he killed more than 100 people in the government army by himself, it is not simple. He is now always protecting the old man and Walter's safety, which is more difficult. As for the explosion, there shouldn't be much action on that side at the moment. ”
Joyce listened carefully to the massage man's words, thought deeply, and then spoke again, "You asked me to go to Penelope's entertainment venue, so that I was not afraid of being exposed?" Mike, oh no, Mark, I still haven't gotten used to calling it for so many years. The mayor still had his eyes closed, enjoying the rare leisure.
"Don't you think it's easy to be exposed here, don't that old man know? I've heard that there's a newcomer who's been in the limelight lately. All political achievements are good, just your deputy mayor. You are not afraid that this general election will come soon and replace you. ”
The mayor didn't say anything, and continued to close his eyes. It took a long time to speak, "His coward, where is he not imitating me in all aspects, there is no threat." ”
"Ding Ding Ding" At this time, the mayor's mobile phone suddenly rang, Joyce opened his eyes and opened the phone, and found that it was Bledsoe's phone,
"Hey"
On the other end of the line came Wicks' weak voice.
"City-Mayor"
"Speak slowly," the mayor quickly sat up.
"The Night Gentleman is likely to be the next explosion site, don't go. ”
With this sentence, the mayor's pupils were instantly widened, and his heart suddenly felt like a spoonful of hot soup was drenched.
The mayor put his hands on the chair, quickly stood up, fortunately the door was not far away, and said "hurry up" to Mark, then grabbed the suit he had taken off before, and ran outside before he had time to put it on.
"Why didn't I know anything about this? Didn't Mark say he hadn't done anything lately? Isn't he hiding anything from me? Besides, the timing can't be so coincidental, no, no!" I felt like my heart was pounding against my chest as if it were out of control, and my whole face was red. Looking at the beige walls in front of him, he retreated straight back, passed through this corridor, and passed through a corridor around the corner, and one after another charming women "swished" past him. Even though the entire corridor was filled with filthy love words that flirted with each other, all that sounded in my ears was the sound of myself telling myself to run over and over again. I'm afraid that if it's a minute too late, even if it's a second late, everything will come to naught. Finally arrived at the elevator entrance, you can breathe a sigh of relief, but! The elevator indicator light is still on the first floor, Joyce keeps walking back and forth, and stomps his feet from time to time, time drips by, but the elevator indicator light still does not change, but there are more and more people waiting for the elevator, Joyce feels that the people behind him are tightly blocked in front, and this will wait until when!
Joyce turned, "Get out of the way," pulled out a group of people, and quickly drilled sideways, the faster the time passed, the heavier the chill on the soles of his feet.
I've never seen so many people anywhere, Joyce kept complaining. I finally squeezed out and looked around to find the stairs. Where, where, not on the left, not on the right? No, not on the right, no, behind the man's head, that green! Haha, Joyce rushed through the crowd and rushed in, thump, like the wind on his feet. From time to time, the four or five steps jumped down without thinking, and with his right hand holding on to the railing, the whole body turned to the next floor, and continued to run down.
I, Joyce, must not fall in this place, don't look at the joke!
The bomb's chronograph seemed to appear in Joyce's mind, there were 10 seconds left, 5 seconds left, "boom" finally landed on the platform on the first floor, the light outside the house was like a treasure that had been waiting for many years but could not be obtained, Joyce gasped and staggered out, and at this time, the clock in his heart happened to point to zero.
"Boom" The voice of anticipation did not sound, and Joyce looked back at the Night Gentleman, confused.
"Boom!" A loud bang pierced the sky in an instant, and the huge shock wave pushed the mayor weakly and staggered back a few steps, and it turned out that there was a violent explosion on the sixth floor of the night gentleman, and thick smoke poured out of the windows on the roof, covering the entire Degus sky, and the sky seemed to collapse at any moment.
The mayor seemed to have lost his soul, and it took a long time for him to recover. By the time I realized that an ambulance had been called, the ambulance had already arrived.
After so many years of political instincts, he told himself that this was not a simple terrorist attack, and that there must be a larger conspiracy behind it, but it was still impossible to know, but it was this that made Joyce feel more afraid, and he began to worry that everything was out of his grasp, and headed for a path that he least wanted to take.
2045, September 21, 2 p.m. That is, 2 hours before the explosion, in the first hospital of Decuska, Wicks slowly opened his eyes, everything was so blurry, it felt like the whole world was shaking.
The director peeled the apple, saw Wicks wake up, and while biting the apple, he teased him, "I thought you kid hung up like this." It's a tough life. ”
"Later... How's it going?" said Wicks, struggling to spit out a few words. Bledsoe then told Weeks about the attack on the hospital, and even how Penelope was directing it later. Because he felt that Wicks had a right to know about it. But Wicks' reaction was unexpectedly calm.
No, no, not calm, he was meditating, looking at Wicks' empty eyes, and from time to time he could see his eyes moving up and down, as if gesturing for something. Sometimes, his neck will swing slightly, and his lips will keep beating up and down. It's like saying something to yourself.
If it weren't for the fact that Bledsoe was used to seeing Wicks' reasoning, I'm afraid he would have thought this man was crazy. So, I continued to peel the apple. Bledsoe knew that when Wicks was in this state, he couldn't hear anyone else at all.
After a long time, I heard Wicks' voice, "Quick! ”
Bledsoe didn't say a word, he quickly got up and picked up Degus's map from the bedside and showed it to Wicks, who looked up and down the map for a long time, back and forth, and finally fixed his eyes on the business district in the middle of Degus.
"The Night Gentleman is Penelope's name."
Bledsoe was taken aback "Well, yes, what's wrong"
"Call the mayor quickly, the night gentleman is in danger!"
