Plan 66
After the two straight sentences, both sides remained silent, and the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.
David's mind was spinning fast.
Since Morbius did not come to the door in the first place, but asked for help, there was no malice.
"Why did you think of me?"
David squinted slightly, broke his calm, and asked curiously, "What can I do for you?" ”
"It's a coincidence that I found that someone was following me, and I used some means to investigate, and found that the person behind it was actually you."
On the other end of the phone, Michael Morbius replied in a hoarse tone and in a low voice: "The most unexpected thing is that my most trusted assistant is actually the younger brother of the underworld overlord of New York, Jin Ji." ”
"It seems that it's not just me who is investigating you, you are investigating me as well."
David replied lightly.
He wouldn't believe Morbius, his identity was not known to most people, let alone Wilson's younger brother.
Morbius had apparently been staring at himself for a long time.
Just like this moment.
"Don't you think it's a waste of phone bill?"
David slid his wheelchair to the window of his office, looked out the window at the tall buildings, and swept his gaze, although he didn't see the other party, he was very sure that Morbius was nearby.
So with a little force, I pulled open the window with great difficulty, and I made a wheelchair again.
"Since you're nearby, why don't you come to my office directly?"
His words caused Morbius, who was on the other side of the phone, to be silent for another moment.
"Good!"
Toot toot!
After replying, the voice died down.
"Who is it?"
At this time, another person in the office had to open his mouth.
Wesley's face was a little serious, and when he saw David's expression change, he realized that there seemed to be danger approaching.
"Morbius, he's coming."
David's answer surprised Wesley a little: "Why did Morbius dare to come to the door?" ”
"Just because he's a vampire......"
The voice has not yet fallen.
Rumble!
A strong gust of wind swept by, like a blade scraping the face.
Wesley subconsciously squinted, his heart racing, and he felt a terrifying and dangerous aura descending on him.
In an instant, the heart seemed to be grasped by a big hand, and the heart palpitations were extreme.
In the field of vision, the window glass began to vibrate.
Outside the window, a black mist composed of particles, wrapped around a tall, thin but not thin, almost illusory figure, flew from a high-rise building like a ghost, and flashed into the office on the upper floor of the building.
Whew!!
With the appearance of this person, Wesley was shocked.
"Fack!"
He looked at the man in front of him blankly, and his expression was stupid: "It's really a vampire...... I thought it was just a madman with hemophilia......"
"David, long time no see."
Michael Morbius' cold gaze swept over Wesley and finally landed on David.
Seeing David sitting in a wheelchair and looking weak, he didn't know what he thought, and his face softened a little.
"You're in a much better place than I thought you would be."
"Doctor, you don't have to say that."
David waved his hand, not meaning to greet the other party: "Tell me the purpose of your visit, what can I do for you?" ”
"Milo, also known as Lucis Krone, who kidnapped Martina."
Morbius nodded, straight to the point, and said in a resolute tone: "I want you to help me save her." ”
"So, the serial murderer who recently imitated you in New York and went on a blood-sucking spree was Lucis Krone?"
Although David already knew the truth behind it, he still had to disguise it at this time and said, "He didn't listen to your persuasion and injected the bat serum that you haven't had time to destroy?" ”
"Not bad."
Morbius said in a deep voice: "Lucis can't suppress the animal nature brought about by the bat gene, he became a crazy murderer, I could have stopped him, but ......"
"He knows your weakness and kidnaps Martina so you can't do anything to him."
David was stunned.
There is a certain difference between this plot and memory.
The original world line is that Lucis kills Morbius's girlfriend Martina and forces Morbius to turn against him, and Morbius wins in the end.
It is worth mentioning that Morbius made two injections.
One killed Lucis, and the other was meant to be kept for himself, and cut himself off.
The former accomplished its mission, but the latter ultimately failed to come in handy.
He did not commit suicide.
And David's current world-class change is that instead of killing Martina to force Morbius to show up and fight him, Lucis chose to kidnap and detain Martina and make Morbius a bogeyman......
This shows that Lucis is hiding other purposes.
David then thought about the Krone family's large financial assistance to the Special Children Shelter......
Although the Krone family is called a family, there is actually only one person left in the present day.
That's Lucis Krone.
The only reference to the movements of the Krone family is Lucis's wishes.
What is his purpose in using the funds to help the special children treatment center?
Be kind?
David didn't think a vampire who had been influenced by animal nature and had become manic and bloodthirsty would have any kindness.
"Yes, Lucis used Martina as a threat and did not allow me to show up to explain all this, so that I could live as a fugitive ......"
Morbius saw that David was deep in thought, and was silent for a moment, before he slowly spoke and said in a deep voice: "However, it doesn't matter, I just want to save her." ”
"How can I help you?"
David shrugged: "You have superpowers now, you're superhuman, and so is Lucis. And I'm just an ordinary person who is sick. Even if I, as the younger brother of Kim Nai, have a certain amount of power, it will be difficult for me to intervene in the struggle between you, right? ”
After a pause: "I can't think of anything I can do to help you." ”
"Actually, I suggest you go and work with someone else."
David meant: "You are not alone in this world, you have special powers. ”
"It's too late."
Morbius shook his head: "Moreover, I don't trust them. ”
"It seems like an honor for me to have your trust."
David laughed, but seemed a little sarcastic.
"I know what you're thinking, David."
Morbius was silent for a while, and after a while, he sighed: "Bat serum is a curse, you can't really optimize it, the side effects can't be eliminated, anyone who injects it can't resist the instinct of bat genes to suck blood, even me, can only support ......"
After a pause, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "In fact, I am very relieved to see that you did not choose to inject it, but kept it to continue research." ”
"Sooner or later, there will be that day."
David shook his head: "Fisker Pharmaceutical currently has the idea of optimizing bat serum, and if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't." ”
"Maybe."
Morbius didn't dwell on it.
He chose to appear in front of David to ask for help, which means that he does not intend to care about David's actions of stealing the full set of technical information about bat serum.
In response, David must help him rescue Martina.
It's a swap of favors.
Both sides know it.
"Tell me about your plans."
David said bluntly: "Since you found me, it means that you already have the idea to rescue Martina, what should I do?" ”
"Lucis has a team of mercenaries under his command, and they are all thugs who do nothing evil. If I make any move, they will not hesitate to kill Martina......"
Morbius said, "I need your help in rescuing Martina from these mercenaries. ”
"As for Lucis, I'll deal with it."
He was blunt: "You know, it's hard for me to spend extra strength in the confrontation with Lucis to rescue Martina. ”
David understood what Morbius meant.
"You want me to form a team and take out those mercenaries?"
He pondered for a moment, and his eyes flickered slightly: "However, I have a better way, not only to rescue Martina, but even to help you clear the suspicion of being a vampire murderer." ”
"Oh?"
Morbius hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
……
FBI New York Branch.
"Do you have news of Dr. Bancroft?"
Moseley's expression was surprised and excited: "Great, don't worry, I'll tell the director the news." ”
He hurried to Pittman's office.
Knock knock!
"Please come in."
As soon as Pittman finished speaking, the door was pushed open by Moseley.
"What's going on?"
Pitman was curious, and his face showed a bit of seriousness.
Although Moseley usually has some small movements, he has always been very good at work, and if it is not something important, he will not be so urgent.
"Director, there's word from David's side that they've spotted Dr. Martina Bancroft."
Moseley was blunt: "I think we need to act now. ”
"Dr. Martina Bancroft?"
Pittman was a little surprised, but not skeptical.
As the younger brother of Kim Nai, David has a lot of information in the underground world that is difficult for officials to access.
The entire underground world is almost all of Jinhe's eyeliner.
Mosley has a certain contact with the underworld, in fact, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as the result of the deliberate connivance of the FBI.
"Not bad."
Mosley nodded: "The person who kidnapped Dr. Bancroft is Lucis Crown of the Crown family, the reason is not yet known, but it is most likely related to Michael Morbius, they have known each other since childhood, they have been friends for many years, maybe for some reason, they have become enemies......"
"Needless to say."
After Pittman interrupted, he asked, "Where are the people?" ”
"Special Children Rescue Center."
Without hesitation, Moseley replied: "But I received information that Lucis has a team of mercenaries under his command, and they have blocked the entire rescue center, and it is difficult for our people to bypass these mercenaries. ”
"Moreover, there are many children with special blood diseases in the rescue center, Director, we can't ignore these children in the process of conducting rescue operations and fighting with each other!!"
From a professional point of view, Moseley advised: "We have to think of a foolproof plan and not take a strong attack. ”
"Go get Stroud and Rodriguez over."
Pittman nodded, thought for a moment and said, "They are in charge of this case, let's listen to their opinions." ”
"Okay."
Mosley frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy, but did not object.
A moment later.
"We can pretend to be a cleaner or something, infiltrate the rescue center, conduct preliminary reconnaissance, and confirm the authenticity of the information before acting."
Rodriguez suggests a more secure one.
"You're saying there's something wrong with my intelligence?"
Moseley was furious, slapped the table and glared: "In case of startling the snake, who is responsible?" You can't throw the black pot on my head, can you? ”
"So what do you say you should do?"
Stroud was not used to it, and snorted: "You said that you can't attack, and now you can't test it, so what else can you do?" ”
"This is your case, and I have done my best to provide information, no matter what method you use."
Moseley waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention: "Anyway, that's it, I'm only responsible for providing information, no matter what you do, the follow-up has nothing to do with me." ”
In any case, he can do this step is already the limit.
Even if Stroud and others succeeded in their actions and rescued Martina Bancroft, he also had a share of the credit.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it doesn't work, it's not him who acts?
All three people present understood Moseley's thoughts, and did not ask him for any advice, and at the same time, did not discuss the authenticity of the information.
Moseley, though at odds with Stroud, would not lie about such things.
"I have an idea."
Rodriguez didn't care about the-for-tat confrontation between the two, and said slowly after a long silence: "I saw the news before, Lucis Krone has recently made a lot of funding for special children, and we can use this as an excuse to hold a charity dinner for special children, raise funds on the spot, and raise funds for charity......"
"You want our people to pretend to be volunteers, or staff, and get in there...... On the one hand, to find out the authenticity of the intelligence, and on the other hand, to facilitate the movement at any time and rescue Dr. Bancroft? ”
Pitman frowned slightly: "It's easy to involve other people in this way, just for a doctor, isn't it a bit too risky?" ”
"It's a risk."
Rodriguez doesn't deny it, he says his opinion: "Osben has always been concerned about Michael Morbius, Dr. Bancroft and Morbius are a couple...... I believe that once we find Dr. Bancroft, we may be able to find Morbius! ”
After a pause, he emphasized: "Osben will be happy to pay for us!" ”
"In that case......
Pitman nodded, "It's up to you to communicate with Osben." If they are willing to cooperate, then we will act. ”
"Okay."
Stroud and Rodriguez were in good spirits.
They are well aware of the importance that Osben values Michael Morbius, so they are also very sure that the other party will not let go of this opportunity.
Seeing the two leave, Moseley snorted softly and returned to his separate office.
He reached for his phone and sent a message to David.
"That's it!"
Seeing this message, David looked at Michael Morbius in front of him and nodded.
"The FBI has taken the bait, and on the day of the banquet, I will send someone to secretly participate in this operation to prevent Lucis's mercenary dogs from jumping off the wall."
"But whether the action goes well or not, you may not be able to keep hiding," David said. Are you sure you're ready? ”
"I've been thinking about this day for a long time."
Morbius nodded, very calmly.
