Chapter 707: The Entrusted
"I'd like to hear your reasoning, Hogg-Foster."
The demon's whisper echoed through the room, it was everywhere and went straight to the heart.
The Domination suddenly became intrigued by the panting man at the door, so it decided to postpone its plans a bit, which was also a reward for Hogg's courage.
Originally, according to the agreement between herself and Jock, she should have detonated the psionic bomb as soon as Hogg was in the explosion range to help the other party escape.
"You've been to a psionic research facility, you should have heard about me there, so why would you do it?"
It had heard from Jock that Hogg-Foster had been as life-sparing as the other councillors, and had always been a bodyguard for any important occasion in the past, as if he would not be at ease without erecting an iron wall in front of him.
This is, of course, because the justice system is where coalition governments are most likely to offend.
It wasn't just ordinary people who were offended, as many members of the Foster family had died in assassination in the past.
The killer of the reformists, but disguised as a folk person.
And this is also the ending that Jock has set for Hogg - under his insanity, because of his negligence in personal security, he was assassinated when he went to see a psychiatrist alone, which may have been the standard ending for members of the Foster family.
However, it was such a person who spared his life like gold and came to him alone without any bodyguards.
Could it be ......
Is Hogg-Foster really so sick that he thinks he's genuinely apologizing to it?
For a director who can't even remember his name?
"Because I accidentally found out that someone who was supposed to die appeared in the first district."
There was not the slightest fear in Hogg's eyes, and he entered the door, and closed the security door with his hand, cutting off his own way of retreat.
Lucy next to her stopped trembling, for some reason, Hogg at this moment actually gave her a strong sense of security - just like not long ago when facing the out-of-control Allman, the other party also saved her from the brink of death.
Reason couldn't make her think of a way to break the game, even if Hogg could stop the time of the entire world for two seconds, but it would be too short to even allow him to escape the range of the explosion on his own.
When the Psionic Bomb is detonated, it takes less than a second to engulf the entire building.
Perhaps, she should trust intuition and sensibility now.
Hogg's gaze swept over every corner of the room shrouded in darkness, and he said, "And this dead man is also responsible for all the recent riots. ”
"Jock did mention your character, he said that you will repay your eyes, and always talk about blood debts and blood payments."
If you don't know, I'm afraid you still think that the Foster family started out of gangsters.
Domination scoffed, as it suddenly figured it out.
Hogg is crazy.
Perhaps completely immersed in the illusion that he is a double messenger, it is normal for a madman to behave unreasonably.
I'm afraid that only a madman can understand Hogg's thoughts and feelings at this moment.
"He's not wrong about one thing, it's not a good thing for you to die here."
In this way, he does not have to be seen by others in his twilight ugliness, so that he becomes a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.
"What about you? Could it be that they will only hide in the shadows, and they will not even have the courage to face me? ”
Hogg asked the other in a provocative tone.
"If that's your last wish......"
There was an unusual movement in the corner of the room, and the whispers that were everywhere converged at this moment.
Hogg had seen the most eerie scene he had ever seen in his life—the dark shadows seemed to be brought to life, they converged to a point in the moonlight, condensed into the outline of a human figure in his vision, but he couldn't see the person's face clearly, and when he went to the psychic research institute before, there was no record of the photo of the 'domination' in the archives of the dove's collection.
Everything in human form was shrouded in darkness.
"Your old friend Jock cares about you so much that he wants you to be able to walk a little easier on your way, how about being blown up? You can get closer to her so that your consciousness will dissipate in an instant, and even the pain will not catch up with you. ”
"I'll find him sooner or later, but you shouldn't see that day coming."
Hogg counted the time and walked head-on towards 'domination'.
He pinned all his hopes on Rob Lucci, who would have been close to the neighborhood by now if he had arrived in a hovercar as soon as he received his text.
"My duty, first and foremost, is to guillotine people like you."
"Good eyes, reminds me of the first time I saw you."
The tone of "Domination" was a little nostalgic, although Hogg did not follow its advice and stay with Lucy in the moment before he died, but it was more in line with his heart, "It was still on the big screen in the city square, and you also judged a person who rebelled against the Foster family so righteously. ”
But the progress is still too slow.
It raised its hand slightly, and Hogg's right hand was lifted uncontrollably, pointing the muzzle of the gun at its eyebrows.
"Domination" guessed that in Hogg's plan, he intended to use those two seconds to surprise the victory—provided that he was really the so-called double messenger, and that none of this was a fantasy that existed in his mind.
The index finger pressed the trigger, and the muzzle fire lit up the room at one point.
Lucy instinctively covered her ears.
However, the bullets that were supposed to blow its head through the shadows of the skull, leaving several bullet holes in the wall.
If that's Hogg's plan, it's too boring.
"It seems that you were distracted when you were at the psionic research institute, and the researcher must have mentioned these basic concepts to you - bullets can't kill consciousnesses."
Neither in the real world nor in the space where time stands, these properties cannot be changed.
From the moment they died, the laws of physics in this world could no longer affect them.
Domination felt that Hogg's twilight years were pitiful enough that there was no need for him to put all his beliefs into a few bullets that would never work.
Courage is commendable, but nothing can be done.
This is the power of humanity, and it always has a limit.
What's more, it has more important things to tell the other party.
"Moreover, you did not carefully read the text messages that the psychiatrist sent you, I have compassionately explained my ability to you, and no secret can escape my eyes."
Domination chuckled, "That includes your plan to stall for time and wait for Rob Lucci to support you. ”
Jock probably never dreamed that he wasn't the only backstabber in the whole thing.
Hogg-Foster has never sent the former MI7 top operations back to the 6th Sector, they are still in the 1st Sector, cooperating with the Speaker to make MI7 the last base, but it has not broken Hogg's tricks and left them here to complete its real plan.
It has never been involved in this controversy for one purpose.
Rob Lucci.
Or rather, the devil.
Hearing this, Hogg froze for a moment, and the expression on his face finally changed slightly.
"It's a shame, I think you should look at your phone, this may be your last chance."
Whether Hogg wanted it or not, Domination helped him take out his phone and click on the unread text message sent two minutes ago, which immediately made Hogg's mood sink to the bottom.
In his plan, he would cooperate with Luqi to launch a surprise attack on Domination, and he originally believed that Mr. Luqi was already ambushed near the hospital at the moment, just waiting for him to pass on the code to do it.
But this text message told him that they were busy just now and didn't have time to look at their phones.
However, he believes that he is blessed with a great life and can save the day.
In an instant, Hogg had the idea of calling the other party and scolding him, he imagined that he might die here, but he didn't expect it to end up in such a humiliating way.
The allies missed the final battle because they "overslept" and "didn't look at their phones while busy", which made Hogg feel that he might not be able to see it until he died.
"I can tell you very clearly that they are not acting at all right now."
Domination finds this scene extremely ironic, and the reversal of reality is far more interesting than it was planned, and certainly more desperate.
That's not what it was planned for.
Otherwise, it will detonate the bomb as soon as it knows that the devil is nearby, and then leave as soon as possible.
"Let's just say that you don't know that man."
If you think about it carefully, the other party is a person with a bad personality that will even be called a devil by them, how can he cooperate with a mere human to complete a Jedi counterattack?
Watching people face death in despair was one of the devil's greatest interests.
After all, it was he who brought despair between them in the first place.
"Then Mr. Hogg, it's time to hit the road, and I wish you all a good night's sleep."
Domination gestured to detonate the bomb in front of him.
Hogg froze, and he saw Lucy's dilated eyes, and a loud thud shattered the silence of the night.
"Boom ——!"
……………………………………
At the same time, Galaxy Transport.
Song Lan moved a chair and looked up at the night sky above her head that was lit up by the advertising projection of the airboat, and wore a coat to protect her from the cold.
He felt that he should stand by the window to fit the current atmosphere, but due to his physical strength and energy, he only wanted to sit now.
"Why don't you go on a trip?"
Lu Xiang opened his mouth and asked, "Maybe Hogg has already met 'Domination'. ”
Even in the case of becoming a stand-in messenger, the power of both sides is not above the same level.
Especially for Hogg, two seconds was too short for him to do anything, and even saving his life would become a luxury.
"No need."
Song Lan shook his head, he slowly closed his eyes, and entered a state of closing his eyes and recuperating, "Because I told Ho......gg that 'Domination' is no longer his opponent." ”
The small theater of its one hundred and thirty-eight:
Wednesday, evening, month, year.
When it comes to travel plans, the choice of transportation is indispensable.
In the highly developed year 216X, there are countless travel packages that can meet the needs of customers, but in the context of such an era, Lu Xiang still put forward a choice that shocked Song Lan:
"I want to get around by bike."
"Director, with all due respect, murder is a crime."
Song Lan had to remind the other party.
He felt that Lu Xiang was probably trying to murder himself in a very new way, no matter when and where, the supervisor always sat in the back seat, holding his waist from behind with both hands, and occasionally put his own weight on him.
"I know, but the MK-III. is a bike with autopilot."
Lu Xiang said.
She was very satisfied with Ge Fu's modification, and the use of the automatic navigation system greatly saved Song Lan's physical strength, so that he still had the energy to talk to her during the riding process.
The fly in the ointment is that occasionally there will be tricky traffic police who stop them and urge them to wear helmets.
"But MK-III. can't get that far."
"No, I don't."
Lu Xiang has completely mastered the essence of tourism, the key is to travel with the people she likes, and when she is with Song Lan, she is always happy even if she travels to the battlefield where the artillery is under fire.
"Then there has to be some goals, right?"
"Yes, go to a place where there are no traffic police to stop us."
"Director, do you really want to travel?"
"Yes."
Lu Xiang nodded seriously, "But we must take Qingqing and me as the premise." ”
