Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

After one or two hours, the door of the Japanese room opened.Since all the windows were sealed, it was impossible to know whether it was dark or not. Monica gently placed the bag from the convenience store on the tatami with her white hands, and then disappeared outside the door.There are sandwiches and canned coffee in the bag. The pain subsided slightly, and I leaned against the wall in a daze like Monica I saw when I first entered the door. My mind was full of thoughts about how to escape. May should have contacted Popov earlier, and Popov may have informed Rodnov as well. I wonder if Dad noticed that I was kidnapped?I have been away from "Maluyu" for more than three hours, and my dad can't find me, so he should feel that something is wrong.

However, he never imagined that it was Zhang who kidnapped me, and that I was in Nico's hands right now. In order to use me as a bargaining chip in a critical moment, Niko must not tell Dad.Monica is used to exchange small nuclear bombs, and I can use it to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese police. Nico kidnapped me once before, and after interrogation with the injection of confession agent, he knew that my father’s backing was the Japanese state power. The key lies in Popov and Meben.After getting in touch with Rodnov, they will know why Nico kidnapped Monica. wrong.Popov said he knew Morris before.If Morris wanted to be Rodnov, he must have gone through some disguise and possibly plastic surgery to change his face.But could he hide from Popov, who is both an old friend and a former KGB agent?

Seems a bit difficult.Even if he hadn't seen Rodnov in years, or had undergone plastic surgery, Popov was bound to find out that he was Morris. This means that Popov knew that Morris was still alive, and he kept in touch with Rodnov in a tacit understanding. So, what about Maben? Meben's situation is delicate.If he had known, he would not have proposed to find a small nuclear bomb with Dad. As long as you ask Rodnov, that is, Morris, you can immediately know the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb. Why didn't Popov do this? Could it be that there is no shortage of money, so I don't want to touch the nuclear bomb that is easy to cause trouble...

No, that's not right either.If so, there was no way he could have joined Dad and Mayben.Moreover, Popov is looking for the necessary manpower for this job. Didn't he know that Rodnov was Morris? I don't understand more and more.Popov is by no means a kind-hearted person. He, a former KGB agent with ties to the Russian Mafia, is a dangerous figure.This kind of guy finds out that his friend has a nuclear weapon that can make a lot of money, how can he let it go easily? There should be something that my dad and I haven't seen through yet. What is it?Does Nico also know? I stare at the ceiling, where the hanging fluorescent lights illuminate the room.

The only way to escape is by exchanging Monica and the mini-nuke?Judging from Nico's tone, it seems that he has no intention of letting me and Monica go. Even if he spares us, he will blow up Tokyo with the nukes he got. That's true, it doesn't make sense to let us go. At present, all I know is that Nico is a member of the fanatical religious terrorist organization "Saints". Nico was also the one who pretended to be the "August Lion" and bought the nuclear bomb from Morris. His plan to detonate a nuclear bomb somewhere in the Islamic world, causing chaos and civil war, failed.Now, relying on his "seven years of conscience", he is targeting Japan.During his time as a missionary, he must have suffered a lot of unhappiness, and he was eager to relieve his hatred.

I can't help but shudder.Before that, I kept thinking about the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb. However, if Rodnov agreed to make a deal with Niko and hand over the nuclear bomb to him, the consequences would be disastrous. If a nuclear bomb explodes in Tokyo, it will kill tens of thousands, no, hundreds of thousands, millions of people. I dare not assert that this will not happen. I have to take Monica to escape. Is there a way to contact Dad and Mr. Shimadzu? I can't sit still.It doesn't matter if I'm being watched, I got up and walked to the window. The windows were boarded up.The plywood is nailed to the wall, and the nailed part is reinforced with other small wooden boards.

Although the workmanship is rough, the technique is very sophisticated, and it is impossible to tear it off with bare hands. Bumping hard into the splint may break the glass on the outside of the splint.The key point is whether the broken glass can attract the attention of the surrounding residents. Shout out when the glass shatters, neighbors may hear you nearby.It's just that we don't have much time.As soon as I hit the cleats, the groom's corps would rush in. I left the window, walked out of the Japanese room, and came to the living room.Monica sat with her knees hugged, staring blankly at her toes.

Noticing me, she raised her head in surprise, but said nothing.Seeing the tear stains on her face, I felt a burst of heartache, even worse than the beating just now. Why did such a simple girl become a pawn in the nuclear bomb deal? Monica lowered her head silently.Next to her was the untouched sandwich and coffee, the same ones I had just brought. I pursed my lips, angry with her father Maurice too. It's useless to say anything now.It's sad, but escaping from here is more important than solving the misunderstanding.I silently walked to the window of the living room. The windows of the living room are also fully nailed with plywood, but they are one size larger than the windows of the Japanese room.If there is a collision, the windows on this side are more effective.

Then, I turned to the entrance. There is a door in front of the entrance, and when you open it, it is a washroom connected to the toilet and bathroom.The bathroom window opened onto a corridor of frosted glass with wire insets. Can you break the bathroom window and climb out of the hallway? I stared at the window thinking.The window is about fifty centimeters square, and it is a sliding window that can only be tilted to the inside. I probably won't be able to squeeze out, but Monica might be fine. The problem is, I don't know if there are monitors or monitors installed in the bathroom or washroom.

There is only one way to be sure. "Your god is a bastard!" I yelled in the bathroom. "You are also bastards, you just want to vent your complaints about not being popular with women in Tokyo back then. Nico, you are a super pervert!" Then I walked out of the bathroom and back into the living room.Sitting in the bathroom all the time might arouse suspicion. After waiting for a while, the groom's corps still didn't rush in to clean me up. "What's wrong?" Monica said suddenly, and I looked at her in surprise.She looked up at me worriedly. "It's okay, it's just that I was beaten just now, and my stomach hurts a little."

Monica opened her eyes wide, "Aaron..." "Do not worry about it." My heart hurts even more.Not only did I hurt her, but after all she was willing to talk, I actually lied to make her worry. Monica nodded silently, her eyes shifted back to her toes. I'm going back to the Japanese room for now. Even if only Monica escaped, it would be a deal breaker.In any case, the nuclear bomb must be prevented from being delivered to Nico. The point is, when is the best time to let Monica escape.There was no one standing guard in the corridors and the apartment parking lot just now, but there should be guards at the entrances and exits. Even if you successfully climb out of the hallway from the bathroom, take the elevator or take the stairs to the first floor, but are finally caught by the guards, all previous efforts will be for naught. Moreover, if Nico knew that Monica had escaped, he might go crazy with anger and shoot me, which would be very bad. This trick can only be used as a last resort. Thinking secretly, the entrance door suddenly opened.Nico came in with the two grooms. I was terrified.Did they really hear me calling "bastard" just now? Obviously I thought too much, Nico didn't even look at the Japanese room where I was, stood in front of Monica, and ordered in English: "Monica, read this passage and record it for your father." Nico is holding a piece of paper and a small tape recorder. Monica took the paper silently. "Hearing this, he will come to pick you up." "What do you get? Nukes?" Nico smiled. "This has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, both of you father and daughter will be unharmed." Monica sighed. "No, Aaron has told me the truth. I don't want to be used as a bargaining chip for buying and selling murder tools." Nico looked back at me.The two grooms then broke into the Japanese room and dragged me out. "If you don't cooperate, we'll beat him so he can't walk anymore." A fist swung suddenly.Although the punch was not heavy, it happened to hit the waist, and I couldn't help moaning. "Keep beating, and his entrails will turn into meat paste." "Stop it," Monica yelled. "Why did you hit him? Torment me if you want to torture me." Nico laughed out loud. "No, we don't want to annoy your dad." "Have you contacted Dad?" Nico nodded. "In an hour, he will make an international call to me, but not here. Let him hear your voice at that time, presumably he will hurry back to Japan." Eighty percent of the cases were made by Popov. Monica stared at Nico. "You also want to go back to your father soon? There is no benefit in staying in such a corrupt country." "I like people in this country," Monica said, looking at me with tears in her eyes, "and I can't hate Aaron." "Then you should read this paper even more." "Monica—" As soon as I opened my mouth, my cheek was pinched.It turned out that one of the groom's big hands squeezed my mouth tightly. "Shut up the blasphemer!" Niko yelled in Japanese. "Ok." Monica stared down at the paper, and Nico handed over the tape recorder. "Read what's on the paper, no nonsense." "Dad," Monica read in English, "I'm fine. The ones with me now are the customers you stopped trading seven years ago. They hope to fulfill the contract. If you don't deliver the goods agreed seven years ago, They'll kill me. Please, give them the goods, Monica." Nico turned off the tape recorder. "Very good. When your father hears this, he will hurry back to Japan. As long as he abides by the agreement, you will be free." "What about Aron? Will you release Aron too?" Nico nodded, "I'll think about it." He raised his jaw at the groom, who immediately let me go.Niko can explain in Japanese: "Your father will arrive in Japan tomorrow. If everything goes well, you can leave the day after tomorrow. Until then, stay here obediently. No adultery is allowed, and we will monitor it at any time. Once we find out, we will send you to hell immediately." The three of them walked out the door, and then there was the sound of the lock being locked. I rushed to the porch.I saw that the door chain and doorknob had been removed, and the lock could only be turned from the outside. "Aaron, what are you doing?" Now is an opportunity.Although there is a monitor, it should not be Niko who is in charge of monitoring, and the other party probably does not understand Japanese.If you're lucky, you might be able to catch a spot where no one is watching. "Monica, come here." I beckoned and pulled her into the bathroom. "What are you doing?" Monica asked with wide eyes. "Anyway, it's not about adultery. You probably don't understand. Forget it, look at the bathroom window." I point to the window. "In an emergency, I would break the window. Then, you would pretend to go to the toilet and escape through the window." "what?" "Listen to me first. There should be guards at the door of this apartment, so you have to leave from the parking lot in the basement. Be careful, don't be found." "This……" "Not now, I will hint to you then." "Aren't you running away?" "If I can get out, I will escape with you." Monica took my arm. "Let's go together." Let me just nod. "Then, I hope you will inform my dad." "I don't have a cell phone, what should I do?" I looked around and found no paper. By the way, there's a bar of soap on the washstand, and it's new. I picked up the soap and carved my dad's cell phone number. "That's the number." "Ryosuke will answer the phone." Monica looked at the number and read it softly in Russian before putting the soap into the pocket of her white trousers. "Aaron, you have to come with me." "Go back to the living room first, staying here will make them suspicious." I pushed Monica out of the bathroom. Stepping into the living room, Monica stared at me. "Aaron, I said too much just now, I'm sorry. I thought about it, it's all Dad's fault." "Maybe, maybe not. You're right, that's for sure." Monica bit her lip and shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe it's my fault that I've been living freely." "That's not the case." I hold Monica's hand, that's not adultery. "Everyone has the right to live freely as long as they don't cause trouble to others. It's wrong to force the world to accept the God he believes in like Nicole did." Monica nodded. "When we first met, you amazed me. Because you are so dazzling, radiating happiness, and so beautiful." "Aaron..." "It never occurred to me that you had anything to do with this, and I hope you can believe that. I didn't mean to hurt you." Monica nodded slightly.I swallowed and confessed: "I like you, really." "I'm so happy." Monica pulled me closer. "You can't lean any further." Seeing that Monica wanted to kiss me, I hurriedly stopped her.God damn it, what a waste of great atmosphere. "why?" Monica looked at me sadly. "There are monitors and listeners in the room. If we get too intimate, Nico will get jealous." Monica snickered, "Same as Kenichi." "Well, but Nico is more jealous than Kenichi." Monica nodded.So we sat on the living room floor. "Do you think Dad will come to Japan?" Monica picked up the can of coffee and opened the tab.I looked at Monica and nodded. "It will, he loves you very much." "How do you know? Have you met Dad?" Monica asked wonderingly. "No. But your father was separated from your mother for a time, and then reunited. Although his name and appearance were different when he remarried. It can be seen how much he hopes to be by your side." Monica shook her head slightly. "Never thought he was my real dad. I separated from my real dad when I was very young and don't remember anything." "Of course how old are you?" "About one year old. It seems that my mother didn't like my father's job, so she proposed to break up. However, my mother didn't tell me the content of the job. I only found out after listening to you and Nicole's explanation. Mom probably couldn't stand Dad buying and selling murder tools .” "But then they got back together." I really want to solve the "mystery" between Morris and Popov, and I can't help but make a sound. "I don't know. At that time, I thought he was my mother's new boyfriend, but he loved me like my own father. When we first met, he said, 'From today, you treat me as your own father' and shed tears .I didn’t understand at first, but now I finally understand.” I nodded and quietly held Monica's hand.Monica also shook back gently. "When did that happen?" "Five years ago. Dad told me that he was too busy with work and never married. Mom just stayed by in silence. Dad never mentioned his past, but he knew everything about my childhood. I was surprised, but Dad I said I heard it from my mother." An arms dealer who loves children is really unimaginable.However, everyone has a family, and occupation should not be confused with family relationships. More than once in the movies, I have seen the mafia who regard the family as their life. "Due to some difficulties, your father kept his name incognito seven years ago, and he returned to you after the limelight passed. He always missed you when he was not by your side." "But why did he come back?" "I don't know either. Probably he loves your mother very much and can't forget her." Monica stared at the sky. "By the way, Dad once said that he was seriously injured." "Injuried?" Monica nodded. "When I first met my dad, I used to ask all kinds of things, so my dad said, 'Sorry, Monica, Dad had a serious accident and I don't remember a lot of things'." "An accident happened, don't you remember the past?" Monica nodded, still staring at the sky. "At that time, I thought I shouldn't ask too much. However, my mother also told me later that my father was injured two years ago and stayed in the hospital for a long time. Mother should have forgotten." I thought for a while, "Maybe I only forgot part of it." "is it possible?" "I heard that people who have suffered a major blow sometimes forget what happened before and after that period of time, which is a type of amnesia." "amnesia?" "Uh, anyway, I just forgot. Some people forget their names, where they were born and raised, and even their family members because of the shock. And your dad doesn't belong to this kind of situation. It seems that he just forgot about a certain period of time." "That was two years before Mom and Dad got married." It was only then that I discovered that Monica's meeting Dad five years ago, and going back two years, coincided with the time when Morris disappeared from Tokyo. Does Morris suffer from partial amnesia? Although he has not completely forgotten his life, he may have lost the memory of the days, or months, of trading in Tokyo. In this way, it can be explained why it is impossible to grasp the whereabouts of Morris after he retired. Seven years ago, Morris did not know what happened to him.At that time, Morris felt a strong sense of crisis when he realized that he was involved in the fake "June Lion" transaction.In order to "evaporate from the world" smoothly, he planned to use his hand Feng to drop the DNA data, but was accidentally injured and completely forgot all that he had experienced in Tokyo. If so, why didn't Morris fall into the hands of Nico and the others?Once he loses his memory, he will naturally not realize that he is in a dangerous situation. Nicole and others who plan to continue trading should easily catch him. "Father said that Mr. Popov helped a lot at that time and sent him to the hospital for treatment..." now it's right.Under the cover of Popov, Morris was able to retreat unscathed. There is only one reason why Popov sheltered Morris, and that was because of the nuclear bomb hidden somewhere. However, after five years, Popov is still looking for the bomb, so— I couldn't help muttering, "How could..." "Is there something wrong?" Monica looked at me in surprise. I hurriedly shook my head. "No, it's fine...don't worry." Morris couldn't remember where the nuclear bomb was hidden, so Popov is still looking for it to this day. On TV, it is often seen that doctors advise patients with amnesia: "Don't force it, sooner or later you will remember it because of a certain opportunity." When patients think about it, they often have a splitting headache. That being the case, Popov probably didn't force Morris and decided to let things take their course. This can explain why Popov helped Morris and took care of him.If Mo Hesi is arranged by his side as a "business partner", when he recovers his memory, he can get the nuclear bomb at any time. In addition, Popov believed that the father who appeared unexpectedly was "usable material", and secretly thought that he might be able to find the nuclear bomb without going through Morris. So, he concealed from his father that Rodnov was Morris, and pretended to cooperate with his father as if nothing had happened. Many mysteries have received reasonable answers. The question is whether Meiben knew.Considering that Popov is not usually in Japan and must send people to continue to collect information, Meiben may know about it. As for Kenichi, he probably didn't understand the situation. Popov and Meben wait for Morris to regain his memory.They believe that the "Morris body" found at the former site of the "Port Club 21" is the key to stimulating Morris' memories. Due to the appearance of "Morris' body", people from all walks of life took actions one after another, including Popov and Meiben, who hoped to awaken Morris's dusty memory: Knowing that Morris was still alive, the people who tried to retrieve the nuclear bomb... Nico and the "sage"; after the organization's name was falsely used seven years ago, the remnants of the "August Lion" have been looking for the whereabouts of the false person; The key is whether Morris can retrieve the lost memory. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a sense of seeing the sun behind the clouds, and at the same time I was shivering. Morris didn't remember it yet, and Nico didn't know that Morris "lost his memory", so the deal with Monica as a hostage was doomed to fail. I don't want the transaction to be successful.If successful, a mushroom cloud will appear over Tokyo.It's just that if it doesn't work out, Nicole will probably kill Monica and me. "Oops." I secretly screamed.During the international phone call, even if Molly confessed the truth, Nicole would not believe it.He would think Morris was playing for time, trying to force Morris into submission. Although there will be no killer, Morris will definitely hear Monica's cries. There is no time to dawdle, the last resort must be taken. "Aaron, what's the matter with you?" "My stomach hurts again." "what?" "Don't worry, just take a rest. I'll lie down in my room." I then walked into the Japanese room and picked up the canned coffee from the convenience store bag. An unopened can of coffee has a certain weight, and I'm desperately trying to hold back my thirst just to keep smashing the bathroom window. "Aaron..." Monica looked at me uneasily.I leaned against the wall and shook my head. "It's okay, I'll lie down for a while." Monica was really worried, but I couldn't tell her that I was actually acting, so I could only say sorry from the bottom of my heart.I pressed my stomach and clenched my teeth. Monica sat down next to me. "What should I do? Will they help find a doctor?" "They're not so kind. It doesn't matter if I lie down." I continued my acting, gripping the coffee can. "Do you want a drink?" Monica asked, and I shook my head. "Wait to drink, I'll go to the bathroom first." I pressed my belly, stood up bent over, and deliberately performed for the surveillance cameras. "Wait for me. If I'm really upset, I'll ask you for help." I said, and Monica nodded with wide eyes. The coffee can in my hand is made of iron, very hard and heavy. Walking into the bathroom, after closing the door, I walked to the bathroom window. Although the window can be pulled down, it can only be opened by a maximum of 20 centimeters, and it is really impossible to get out. I took off my T-shirt and put it on the glass, trying to minimize the sound of the glass breaking. Next, I hit the glass with the coffee can.The glass shattered, but without making too much noise.The iron wire embedded in the glass was unexpectedly strong, but I didn't stop, I broke it first. From time to time, I flip open the T-shirt to remove the broken glass.After knocking again and again, part of the wire broke. In less than ten minutes, the glass shattered.Wire hanging from the window frame with shards of glass hanging, but a hole big enough for Monica to climb out had been made. There was no one standing guard in the hallway.The best proof is that no one rushed over. I removed the odd shard of glass and stepped back to examine it.No problem with Monica's figure. As for me…… Unfortunately, despite being a slender high school student these days, I couldn't squeeze through the window frame. I bit my lip, and I could only take one step, one step at a time.Let Monica leave first, and then find another way to escape. "Monica." I opened the bathroom door and called for Monica.She approached uneasily. "Aaron, is your stomach still hurting?" I put my index finger to my lips, grab Monica's arm, and pull her into the bathroom. "Monica, after climbing out of here, as I said just now, escape from the parking lot and notify my dad." Monica looked in surprise at the broken window frame and the scattered glass shards. "Aaron, what about you? Won't you come with me?" I shake my head. "Unfortunately, I can't get through the window. You escape first." "but……" Before Monica could finish speaking, I grabbed her shoulder and kissed her lips.At the end of the kiss, Monica hugged me. "If you don't run away, I can't be saved. Please." I whispered in her ear. "Okay." Monica nodded, "I will cheer for you." I also nodded. "But be careful, you can't get caught. Is that bar of soap still there?" Monica touched the pockets of her white trousers. "I run fast, and if they come after me, I run as hard as I can." "Yes, after finding the store, rush in to ask for help, or go to the police station." "I understand." I wrapped my arms around Monica's waist, squatted down and picked her up.Monica's head popped out of the window frame. "anyone there?" "Don't worry, there's no one." Monica replied after looking around. "Okay, act quickly." I pushed Monica's shoulder.Although slightly stuck, she twisted her body and quickly slid out. Monica bent into a "く" shape, her upper body hanging out of the window frame.I grabbed her ankles and stood up, successfully pushing her straight legs together.She landed safely. When she stood up, I asked: "Is the key in the door?" Monica looked at the entrance door and shook her head. "No." Sure enough, I was not so lucky, so I could only continue to stay here. "Then hurry up and remember not to take the elevator." I stood on tiptoe to warn, Monica looked like she was about to cry. The outside of the corridor was surrounded by dusty glass, and it was already dark. "Aaron..." I nodded and watched her back.Monica stopped for a while, and I immediately waved my hand to signal her to run away. Monica rushed down the stairs. I'm finally relieved, but I can't stay in the bathroom, the monitor has never caught anyone, and it will arouse suspicion. I pick up a larger shard of glass in case I need it. Back in the living room, I sat by the wall, opened the tab on the coffee can, and drank half of it in one gulp.Although it was cold, it tasted good. "Sorry, I occupied the toilet for too long, now you can use it slowly." I yelled loudly on purpose so that the bug could pick up the sound. Next, it depends on how much time you can buy.If the monitor keeps only me in the picture, the groom's corps will soon realize that something is wrong. Five minutes, no, at least ten minutes. Will they kill me as soon as they find out that Monica has escaped? No, it shouldn't be.Although the groom's corps is united, it seems that they don't use their brains very much.So, before Niko comes back, they won't kill me without permission. As long as Monica doesn't get caught, I'm sure I can be rescued. I wandered the room with a can of coffee. "Yes indeed." From time to time I pretend to talk to Monica. "It's really annoying." "It depends on your father." It really depends on my dad, I thought. "So, world history is more difficult than Japanese history." There is no logic to my words.But at times like this, I can say whatever I want. "Several departments at Dongdae should be fine. Is it Waseda? I can get in with my eyes closed." I've been looking for an opportunity to say that. "However, Harvard and Cambridge can also be considered. UCLA? California is too suitable for me, and then I will not be in the mood for class, hahaha." I leaned against the splint that sealed the French window of the balcony, and felt that the middle part was a little loose. If I applied a little force, it should be able to break the glass on the other side. "The point is, the state's public authority wants to reuse me. They told me not to go to college, but to serve the country immediately. What do you think? Our father and son are both civil servants. Of course, my father resigned before he was eligible for an annuity. ..." I walked into the Japanese room.Think, the splints here are stronger. "I know education doesn't mean everything. In fact, if you don't become a civil servant, Dongdae is fine. But, I don't want to be in the so-called special examination group. The teacher at the school has a relative who finally got into the police force through special examinations, but he didn't make a name for himself. , In the end, he only got the post of Shinjuku police. The entrance door suddenly opened.Looking back, Nico was standing at the door with two grooms.How could he come back so early? "Have you contacted Monica's father?" "Where's Monica?" Nicole walked into the living room. "bathroom." One of the grooms turned and walked to the toilet. "Ah, ah, ah!" I cried. "It's not polite to peek at a girl going to the toilet. She gets hit and has an upset stomach." "Isn't it your stomachache?" I shrugged. "You shot so hard, I'm still in pain." "Morris will be in Tokyo tomorrow during the day," Nico said. "So, you're going to release Monica?" Nico shook his head. "How is it possible. He said that the terrain in Tokyo is different from seven years ago, and he is not sure that he can find the nuclear bomb. Maybe he is trying to delay time, so I will not let you and Monica go before I get the nuclear bomb." "You're going to nuke us anyway." Nico gave a smirk. "You'll die sooner before you talk too much in front of Morris." Nico turned his head and ordered the groom in English: "Go to the bathroom and knock on the door first." I put my hands in my trouser pockets nonchalantly, holding the shards of glass.This is at least more offensive than bare hands. The groom rushed out with a yelp, calling for Nico to come over. I looked at the entrance.The other groom folded his arms and stood in the doorway. After checking in the toilet, Nico returned angrily. "You let Monica escape?" "Wait, I have important information. Even if you see Morris, you can't get the nuke." "Shut up! When did Monica escape?" Nico drew a Glock from his inner jacket pocket and ordered the groom to search the vicinity immediately. The groom standing at the door ran out immediately, as if to summon the "sage" accomplices from other floors.In the blink of an eye, these guys go from groomsmen to fake SWAT teams. Nico aimed the gun at my forehead. "When did Monica escape? Answer immediately, or I'll kill you on the spot." He pulled the trigger. "Ten minutes ago. Also, Morris lost his memory." My mouth was dry. "What?" Nico asked. "Seven years ago, Morris lost his memory. Didn't you investigate this matter? He didn't remember where the nuclear bomb was hidden at all." The muzzle of the gun is slightly opened. "Really?" "Otherwise, how could it have never been sold." Nico gasped slightly. "No matter how you threaten, if Morris hasn't recovered his memory, you won't be able to get the nuclear bomb. Morris flew to Japan because he was worried about his daughter." Nico stared at me wordlessly. "He didn't tell you. He expected that once you confessed, you would kill Monica." Nico put down his gun and called out: "Lucas!" The groom who had just checked in the toilet came over. "Everyone evacuated." "Yes, Sir." Lucas is the tall white guy who pinched my face. Then, Nico strode out of the Japanese room.I breathe a sigh of relief. "Lucas!" Nico called as he opened the entrance door.Lucas, who was approaching me, turned around. "I'll go first. Leave this to the Alpha team, and you take this boy to base B." "Yes, Sir." Nico didn't close the door and left quickly. Lucas was huge, about 190 centimeters tall, and probably weighed nearly 100 kilograms.Can I buy a matching white suit in Japan? "Come on, boy." Lucas said in a deep voice. "No, I don't like you." Lucas smiled and seemed to understand my joke: "I like you." I didn't feel happy at all. He stretched out his arms as thick as tree trunks, and I took out the shards of glass in my pocket and waved them. "Fuck!" Lucas yelled, and I dodged him and rushed out the door.He followed closely. I slam the door and Lucas slams it against the door, and the old apartment seems to shake. I run for the stairs.If I miss this opportunity, I will surely become Niko's victim. As they descended the stairs, footsteps were heard from above.I looked up and saw a group of heavily armed fake SWAT teams. "You!" I made eye contact with the leading man, who yelled and looked away.On the other side of the door where we were imprisoned just now, there was a loud bang, bang. I rush down the stairs.Now, there's no point in going to the basement. Running wildly from the fifth floor to the lobby on the first floor, I happened to catch a glimpse of Nico leaving in a van.I rushed across the long hall to the door. At this point, the elevator door opens.Lucas and the fake SWAT team swarmed out.Lucas flushed with anger. "Fuck you!" Lucas roared loudly, and the front glass door shattered.I couldn't help but stop. Lucas' gun was aimed at me. The H&K submachine gun in his hand seemed to be borrowed from a fake SWAT team, and the right hand holding the gun was bleeding. "Come back," Lucas ordered.To stop me, he fired a volley, punching a big hole in the door. "Be right back!" Lucas squinted his eyes and growled.I bit my lip, freedom was just outside the shards of glass all over the floor.Looking back, there are no pedestrians on the road, but the residential area of ​​Platinum can be seen. "Or do you want to die here?" Lucas threatened.I watched him, my feet back slowly.Lucas shook his head and pulled the trigger. With a bang, I cringe my neck.However, I didn't get shot.I saw Lucas leaning back, a red hole popping out of his forehead.Then came a sentence: "Aaron, jump!" I leap toward the shattered glass door, and there's another shot.I stretched my hands forward, tucked my chin in, and burrowed into the hole in the door.The stairs of the porch are right in front of me, I shrank my body, my arms received a strong impact, and something poured over me.I tumbled down the steps, my back pounding and I could barely breathe.I continued to flip forward and rolled down the stairs in one breath. "It hurts……" I couldn't help howling and was about to stand up when several men in uniform ran over.It's the SWAT team again, but I'm exhausted.After working for a long time, it finally fell into their hands. Something is not quite right.Those SWAT members were wearing bulletproof vests and holding aluminum alloy shields, and surrounded me.Two other SWAT team members held their shields and helped me run. In a blink of an eye, I was taken to the back of the car about ten meters away from the apartment. "Launch tear gas." With the sound of the command, there was a bang, and a cylindrical object shot into the inside of the glass door, emitting white smoke. "Aaron, are you okay?" I turned around and saw that it was Mr. Shimadzu.He was wearing a bulletproof vest. "Mr. Shimadzu." I yelled, looking towards the apartment.The hall was filled with tear gas. Suddenly, something covered my head.Turning my head, I saw a familiar face wearing a gas mask, it was my father.A pungent smell came, and I hurriedly put on my mask. "Are you hurt?" Dad's voice was muffled. "It doesn't matter, I haven't been pierced, have I?" "There is no blood on the outside, but there are a lot of glass shards stuck in it. Don't touch your hair and clothes." I nod.The gunfire rang out again, and I couldn't help but flinch.Dad squatted down and took off his bulletproof vest. "Put on and squat down." I put on a bulletproof vest. This is a safe zone surrounded by armored vehicles and plainclothes police vehicles, surrounded by SWAT teams with guns raised.They're not fakes, they're Japan's Thunderbolt team. A Thunderbolt member with a megaphone shouts: "Put down your weapons and come out quickly. Once you resist, you will be killed." "Use English, it's full of foreigners." I yelled. Mr. Shimadzu lowered his body and ran to the Thunderbolt team members, took the loudspeaker and repeated it in English. I put my hands on the ground and hid behind the car to spy on the situation in the apartment. The hall was smoky, and under the strong light, people could be seen shaking and coughing from time to time. Soon, the figure with hands raised stepped out of the hall stepping on the shards of glass.It's the fake SWAT team. "Who are these guys? Where's the army?" The uncle of the Thunderbolt team murmured in surprise.They were holding H&K submachine guns, the same ones Lucas had just used. “他们受过与特种部队相同的训练,彻底解除他们的武装前,千万不能大意。”岛津先生指示。 伪特警队接二连三趴在地上,双手交抱脑后。 最后一名成员出来后,戴着防毒面具的霹雳小组冲进大厅。不一会儿,岛津先生手上的对讲机传来回报。 “一楼没人。” “电梯内没人。” 霹雳小组搜遍每一层楼,最后确认顶楼的六楼也空无一人。 此时,催泪瓦斯已消散。我拿下面具,松一口气。 我终于得救了。
