Save the child, or dispose of the child?

Dean rubbed his temples helplessly.

The system was settled for a while, and then began to inexplicably trick himself into committing crimes.

But he did not hesitate to choose to save people.

"Tim, where are you? Come back," a man in a black and red shirt and glasses shouted in the crowd across from him with his right hand raised.

"Did anyone see Tim? Has anyone seen my child? ”

Another middle-aged woman with red eyes frantically stopped the shopping mall customers to ask, and when she saw the child, she leaned in to look at it, and the other party was so frightened that she went straight into the arms of her parents.

A team of mall security personnel also searched around.

"Dean, we'll split up to help find someone!" Miss Gretchen, who was full of a sense of justice, looked around with a serious expression, "We'll meet in the photo studio later." ”

"Stay safe."

Gretchen left, Dean instantly turned on the perspective of God, the crowd around him, hundreds of goods, all kinds of smells, colors, huge and complicated information rushed into his brain, as if the CPU was instantly overloaded, he was dizzy and withdrawn from God's perspective, and his nasal cavity was hot and almost fell on the spot.

Not.

"God's perspective still has this negative effect?"

Dean took a deep breath to cool his hot brain.

If Tim had been taken out of the mall, it would have been impossible to find him within half an hour.

The system just gives a half-hour limit, according to Dean's previous experience, the time limit given by the system is very sufficient, only more and not less.

Well, now Dean has learned to use the system's prompts as an important tool to solve crimes.

It knows almost everything, and every change in progress, every fragmented description, contains some key information.

"Half an hour, it means that the child should still be in the mall."

"But there is not enough time to search this large shopping mall of thousands of square meters like a headless fly, and the impossible area must be eliminated."

Dean looked up in the direction of the main entrance of the mall, two big-shouldered and round-waisted ann guards at the gate, a surveillance camera hanging above the revolving door, and the opposite back door with the same configuration.

If the traffickers kidnap the children, it is not easy to leave from these two directions, and they must be filmed by the surveillance.

Dean looked up overhead, and the entire mall was open up and down, with a skylight design at the top, which didn't need windows around to keep the air circulating.

He squeezed through the crowd and walked up the stairs to look at the layout of the second floor, where there were many customers, the windows were all closed, and if he wanted to jump out of the window to escape, he had to destroy the glass windows to make a huge noise, and the glass was intact.

Then there are not many ways to escape.

……

"I'm helping to find Tim Cambage, I'd like to ask some questions, have you searched the bathroom and utility room?" Dean went back to the first floor and found an Asian security guard,

The security guard glanced at his yellow skin and dark eyes, and his eyes were slightly kind, "There is a guy who went, but no one was found." ”

Dean Chin,

"Are there any other exits to the mall besides the front and back entrances?"

The security guard turned his gaze to the stairs not far away, "There is a safe passage on the basement floor that leads to the outside parking lot. ”

"Did you send someone to search for it?"

The security guard frowned and shook his head.

Without saying a word, Dean hurried down the stairs to the basement floor, only three minutes after the investigation began.

He looked past the customers listening to the announcement on the lower floor, looked around like a falcon, and soon saw the "exit" sign next to a Nike shoe store in the middle of the mall.

He rushed through the secret door.

Tata Tower... Hurried steps echoed through the dim silence of the escape passage.

Dean ran along the winding path for thirty seconds, summoning the Ghost Armor to protect his body, and pulled out the guard board in his arms.

There was too much traffic in the mall, and he didn't dare to bring a gun before he came in, lest he couldn't speak clearly.

The light is getting brighter and brighter.

Not far ahead at the end of the road, the faint white light outlines a huge round figure, fluffy white skin, with a simple round head and bloated belly, every step forward, shoulders and buttocks are twisted around, big feet are still making a snorting sound, full of joy and naïve and cute, to let the children see, make sure to go around and rub through.

Dean stared and slowed down.

Even though he only saw the back, he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance, the doll costume that had been used to make magic in the mall.

Why don't you leave through the main entrance?

Dean buttoned the fingers of his right hand inward, pushed the board into his sleeve, smiled at the corner of his mouth, greeted it in a friendly way, and approached.

"Hi, Mr. Great White Bear, wait a minute."

The big white bear paused, turned around, and grinned with a big smile on its honest bear face.

Dean's eyes were shining, like seeing a fan of an idol, walking closer to twenty meters,

"Can you take a picture with me, my brother likes you very much."

Fifteen meters.

On the white bear's furry face, the round nose moved, as if it smelled some irritability, and its enthusiastic smile turned into a stiff and strange sneer.

It suddenly pulled out its right hand that was in its belly pocket, and the next second, a handful of swarthy metal objects were added to the center of its large, round claws, and the tubular tip was aimed at Dean.

This scene, at first glance, looks unintimidating, like a cute teddy bear holding a water gun and playing a prank.

But Dean had a smile on his face.

Short, close to the ground, rolling forward like lightning.

Bang!

The air hissed, and the bullets exploded in a cloud of lime under his feet.

Whoosh—

The moment he got up, the slick in his sleeve slipped into his palm, threw it forward, and threw it towards the big white bear like a dart!

Phew-

The invisible shadow dragged the board to draw a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, it shot twenty meters away, and before the Great White Bear could fire the second shot, it swept heavily into its right hand holding the gun.

With a muffled snort, the gun clenched by the big white bear came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Don't wait for it to react.

Dean had already rushed in front of it, catching the "boomerang" with his left hand, and picking up the pistol with his right hand, aiming it at the head.

"Don't move, don't want to become a dead bear, raise your hand immediately."

The white bear stood there and looked straight at him, neither fleeing nor obeying.

And Dean's God's perspective is looking through its unusually bulging belly - a little boy with blonde hair and blue coat is curled up in a coma, who is it not Tim?

"Or is it a 'female' bear with a cub in her belly?"

"I said don't move!"

Dean pulled the trigger suddenly, and with a "bang" shot, it hit the floor at the white bear's feet, and the latter's slowly retracting hairy arms paused and raised his hands in resignation.

……

Mall Service Center.

"Woo, I knew you were going to find me."

The boy who woke up from his slumber threw himself into his mother's arms and cried,

The bloated woman knelt on the ground and hugged the boy and kissed him frantically on the face, "Scared the hell out of me, Tim, if something happens to you, how will I live?" ”

"It's good that you're not hurt!" The man took the boy from his wife's arms and lifted him into the air in a circle, "But listen, Tim, don't leave our sight in the future, not a single step!" ”

The boy nodded heavily, looked back at the man who was handcuffed by two policemen, and scolded with fear and hatred,

"Bad bear, stinky bear, cover my mouth with a cloth and make me so sleepy!"

"Don't worry, little Tim, this guy will spend a long time in prison in the future, and he will never be able to come out and hurt you again." Dean touched the boy's little head, then looked at the captured child abductor, and he took off his doll costume, revealing his true body—

In his twenties, he has short white blonde hair, eyes like delicate emeralds, a very handsome appearance, a slender and straight figure, an elegant and outstanding temperament, and is obviously highly educated.

In the face of the scrutiny and search of the two police officers, this guy still maintained a calm and calm face, and there was a faint arrogance in his bones.

He is completely different from Dean's impression of a crutch with a low level of education.

"Sir, thanks to you, otherwise we can't afford the consequences... You saved our family, and we will pray for you for the rest of our lives. ”

"God bless you."

With tears in their eyes, the two couples clasped Dean's hand tightly, almost kneeling down with gratitude, and the father even left a business card, claiming that if he had any trouble in the future, or wanted to buy a house, he would definitely come to him with the lowest discount.

"Don't thank me, thank everyone who helps." Dean shook his head, and a prompt flashed in front of his eyes:

You managed to capture the kidnapper and bring Tim Cambetch back to his parents.

Once again, you have carried out the righteousness of your heart.

The progress of the investigation is 100%.

Rewards are waiting to be withdrawn.

…

Gretchen beside him looked at him with an extremely complicated look.

"You're a great hero, too." Dean touched her hair,

"Don't comfort me, just save the child." Gretchen grabbed his arm in adoration.

"Excuse me, you two, I'm Gerrish from LVPD Group 4." A sturdy middle-aged police officer with an LVPD badge leaned over and shook his hand, his eyes admiring, "Carl's buddies praised you to the sky, and when I saw them today, I realized that they didn't exaggerate at all." ”

"If you go shopping with your girlfriend, you can catch a criminal who kidnaps children with a gun, and it's really our loss if you don't come to work in the bureau."

"I was just lucky enough to guess the right direction." Dean glanced at the criminal behind the glass, who was responding to his gaze with an indescribably strange look, and moved his nose like a dog.

"Don't be modest, man... But I'm sorry, I have to inform you of a piece of bad news. His gaze was apologetically at Dean and Gretchen, "Your date has to be terminated for the time being, let's go back to the bureau and record a confession together, and then take care of this pervert." ”
