The mayor threw two handcuffs to Edward and Thomas, and told them to tie themselves to the armrests of their chairs. In the end, after the mayor handcuffed Tengen and Alyssa, the mayor put away the gun. Then sat down.

The car was quiet for a long time, and I saw that the mayor's right hand was naturally opened, and he used the tips of his three fingers to point "forehead-chest--left shoulder-right shoulder" in turn, and at the same time recited "in the name of the Father--and Son--and Holy Spirit-", and finally put his hands together, pressed the thumb of his right hand against the thumb of his left hand, and the two fingers formed a cross, and the mouth said "Amen".

Tian Yuan suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked tentatively, "Are you Christians not allowed to commit suicide?" ”

The mayor looked at Tian Yuan curiously, "That's right, nothing is allowed under any circumstances, unless you decide not to believe in Christianity anymore. ”

Thomas looked at Tian Yuan in surprise, wondering why he suddenly said such a sentence.

"So you planned all this," Thomas was a little exasperated.

The mayor did not speak.

"What about Pete?" said Alyssa.

The mayor just looked ahead and didn't say anything.

Only Tian Yuan was still calmly thinking about something, Edward gently raised his hand to test the firmness of the handcuffs, and found that it was impossible to break free from this strength, so he turned his head sideways to the window again, the wind blew Edward's bangs, and for the first time, a panicked look appeared on the obsidian-glowing eyes behind the layers of black hair, even if it was just a flash.

Speaking of Wicks, Wicks left the police station and went back to his apartment, and according to Andrea's description of the mayor's car, he found the direction of the car through surveillance. As soon as Wicks stepped out of the apartment, he saw a black car parked in front of the door, and Wicks' first feeling was that it was not good.

But the windows had been rolled down, and behind it was a familiar face.

"Stinky boy, I really can't do anything about you"

"Director... You're not."

"Get in the car," the director waved his head and motioned for Wicks to get in the car.

Wicks didn't think much about it, so he immediately hugged the computer and sat down, "Go to the earthen house in the south of the city." ”

"Hold on"

Before Wicks could react, he felt a suction force that knocked him down on the back seat.

"Woo-woo" just like that, rolling up in the dust, the car sped away towards the south.

"How long will we be like this. Alyssa asked.

The mayor didn't speak at first, and only when he saw a loess house in front of him that he replied, "We've arrived." ”

When the car stopped, the mayor tied Tian Yuan and his party with ropes again, locked them on tables and chairs, and handcuffed them open, and took them out of the car.

In front of them were houses made of loess, about three meters high, and the scorching sun had baked the loess on the walls into ravines. Through the windows, every room was pitch black, and the dark wind blew out of the room, making it even more deadly silent.

Thomas's heart was cold, "Are you going to solve us here?" ”

Thomas looked back at Tian Yuan and saw that Tian Yuan was staring at the ground, moving forward in small steps.

"It's here!" Wicks looked at the group of earthen houses that appeared in the distance.

The chief made a nice drift, drew a perfect arc on the ground, and stopped the car. As soon as the car stopped, Wicks opened the door and was about to leave.

"Wait" Wicks turned around and saw the Director calling him.

The director pulled out the card that Wicks had thrown to him from his bosom, and Wicks froze.

The Director smiled, and the Director stepped forward, shoved his police ID card into Wicks' breast pocket, and patted Wicks on the chest. "How can this policeman not have a certificate. ”

Wicks suddenly had a sour nose.

"Wicks"

Seeing the director calling him, Wicks raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, the years have turned his hair gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have never been like now, so that Wicks couldn't stop his tears, and suddenly remembered the scene when the director interviewed him.

"Tell me why you want to be a police officer"

"Because..."

It's only been a year, and the director is no longer the man with jet-black hair at that time, and the current director is old, and tears gradually flash in the corners of Wicks' eyes.

Suddenly, Weeks felt a gust of wind coming at him, it was the director's hand, and then there was a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.

The chief helped Wicks into the car and looked at the young man carefully.

"Tell me why you want to be a police officer"

"Because..."Wicks looked at himself with a resolute expression, "I don't want the weak to feel isolated and helpless"

It's still the same face it was at the beginning. The Director smiled.

"You will definitely be better than me in the future," the director's eyes softened

He took out his gun and cautiously walked into the earthen house group.

The sun penetrated the air and slept lazily

A police badge resting on Wicks' stomach

—Bledsoe.
