Chapter 083 Chapter 83
United States.
Louis and Cole finally came out of the strange art museum and were taken away by American investigators.
Except for Louis and Cole, all the survivors in the Weird Museum were taken away for investigation. Compared with Louis who signed a contract with the half-skeleton boy Kailett, he received more attention.
Even Hierophant, who was still lying in bed, was not ignored. The investigators went to the hospital in person to inquire and investigate, and also took away Serra who was guarding the bed.
After some questioning and blood draws and cell samples, Sera and the others were released. They were also warned not to leave the city where they lived, at least not for a period of time.
However, Louis and Cole were not released. After staying at the US Bureau of Investigation for a few days, they were placed under custody.
The reason is that they are suspected of carrying something like a curse and need to be isolated and observed.
These were all excuses, Louis knew very well, because of the contract he signed with Caret.
Scientific methods did not detect any abnormalities in him, nor did they find any traces of the contract. The things that appeared in TV movies, such as signing a contract leaving a devil's mark on the body, naturally did not happen.
Aside from some minor injuries and a strained muscle, everything about Louis was the same as before he entered the museum.
The room where the two were held was not bad, a small suite with two bedrooms and a living room, with a bathroom and a shower room. Every day, a staff member brought them food and water and took away their garbage. Apart from the fact that they could not leave, their life was pretty good.
Cole could even make requests. For example, if Louis wanted to eat steak today, Cole hoped for fresh beef. As a result, the people who imprisoned them not only sent fresh beef, but also broccoli and potatoes as side dishes. Unfortunately, there was no red wine.
"Life here is not bad. We don't have to worry about food and drink." Louis said to his lover, trying to make the best of a bad situation. "And we can have a physical examination every day. Cole, is your body fat index a little higher than last time?"
"Hmm?" Cole raised his arms and clenched his fists. "I haven't exercised for a while. Let's go to the gym together when we have a chance."
Louis leaned back on the sofa: "If there is a chance." He stared at the needle marks on his arm.
After a while, Louis whispered, "Everyone who came to examine me wore a protective suit, as if I were carrying an infectious disease."
Cole: "Because they're afraid you'll become something different." The man smiled and gestured at his head: "Like growing a horn here, or having pointy ears?"
"Isn't that a goblin? Can I live to be 700 years old?"
"You must have become a vampire if you lived that long." Cole said with emotion, "Then let me take a beautiful photo of you, Mr. Vampire."
Louis lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes and smiled: "If I become a vampire, I will definitely embrace you first."
"First embrace?" The young man's voice with a smile echoed behind the two of them, "I've never heard of this term before. What does it mean?"
Louis suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and he and Cole turned their heads to look at Carey who suddenly appeared.
In the monitoring room, the two personnel who had been monitoring the situation inside the room through the screen pressed the alarm. Their ultimate goal of imprisoning Louis and Cole was to catch Carrett, and now that the target appeared, they naturally had to act immediately.
No matter how many survivors were examined, or even if Louis and Cole were controlled, there was no real value in catching a "monster".
They were so curious about whether the half-skeleton boy was a human before, why he looked like this, and how he survived with half of his body becoming a skeleton.
"Lord Kailett!" Louis exclaimed. He glanced at the surveillance device hidden in the corner of the wall and whispered, "You shouldn't be here."
"There's no place I shouldn't be." Carrett asked again, "What is virginity? Don't make me ask a third time."
"The term primiparity refers to the process by which a vampire develops new members. In the story of the blood clan, vampires have no ability to reproduce, so they rely on turning humans into vampires to increase the number of their clan." Louis added, "Vampires are fictitious creatures. Their characteristics are that they are afraid of sunlight, live by sucking blood, are afraid of silver and garlic, and their most powerful ability is immortality."
Carret: "Immortal, kind of like me. But I'm not afraid of garlic, silver, or sunlight."
After hearing Carrett admit that he was immortal, Louis lowered his eyes and Cole turned his head to look at the hidden surveillance location.
No matter what the top U.S. officials were planning, Cole was sure that all their ideas would fail.
The door of the room was kicked open with a bang, and several teams of armed men rushed into the room, holding shields in front of them and holding hot weapons to surround Kairet.
The half-skeleton boy smiled with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "What a warm welcome, Louis, are these all your friends?"
Louis' breathing gradually slowed down. He was very nervous because his next answer would determine his life or death.
"No, Lord Kret." Louis' voice was trembling, but he said firmly, "They are enemies."
As soon as he finished speaking, an armed man pointed his gun at Louis.
Just now, Louis made his position clear, he stood on Carey's side.
Louis closed his eyes in fear. Cole wanted to save him, but no one was quicker than Carrett.
The hands of the armed man who pointed his weapon at Kairet began to tremble. He covered his chest with all his strength, unable to breathe as if his lungs were blocked. After struggling for a few times, he fell down and could not move.
Carrett didn't move at all during the whole process.
Such a sudden change scared the other armed personnel into breaking out in cold sweats. In the United States, being a police officer is a profession, and just a profession.
The salary they received was not enough to make them willing to die, so some of them began to want to withdraw.
These people would rather face terrorists than enemies like Carret. At least they know how terrorists attack and how to avoid them, but the boy in front of them did not move from beginning to end, and they don't even know what made their colleague fall.
It's nothing, just some cells.
They are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye and can be blown away in the air.
From the moment these armed men appeared before Carret, their fate was in Carret's hands.
The infection skill cannot kill people directly, it is a poisoning ability, but it can make the infected person feel the pain of being sick. Kailett made the fallen man feel the pain of tracheal swelling.
Some pains will not kill people directly, but they can kill people indirectly.
Of course the man was not dead, he just fainted from temporary lack of oxygen and would wake up after a while.
"I don't have the time to play with you. But if you want to contribute a few good bones." Kailett smiled, "It doesn't matter if I waste a little more time here."
"I'm here with a friend today." Carrett walked towards Louis. With every step he took, an armed man fell down. Soon, half of the armed men in the room were lying down, and the rest were holding their weapons tightly, at a loss.
Without orders, they dared not act on their own.
In the monitoring room, the commander of the armed team frowned as he looked at the screen, staring at the face of the half-skeleton boy.
Finally, he spoke and gave the order: "Retreat."
The adjutant next to him glared: "Captain Smith, the order from above requires us to capture a living monster!"
"Do you think you can catch them?" Commander Smith asked, pointing at the surveillance screen. "So many people fell in ten seconds, and this is just a warning. Do you want to declare a full-scale war with the opponent without knowing their strength? Idiot!"
The adjutant's face turned pale. He looked at the surveillance screen and lowered his head unwillingly.
"I don't care what faction you belong to." Smith put on his hat, "I am only responsible for the security of the United States."
After saying that, he walked out of the monitoring room.
After receiving the order to retreat, the armed personnel immediately disappeared completely, and they even remembered to take away their unconscious colleagues.
Soon, only Carey, Louis and Cole were left in the room.
"Lord Kairet..." Before Louis could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.
They turned and saw Chief Smith standing at the door, his fingers on the open door: "Excuse me, Mr. Carey."
"My name is Morse Rudolph Smith, and I am ..."
"I have no interest in you." Kret interrupted Officer Smith's self-introduction, "unless you are willing to give me your skull."
The words stuck in Officer Smith's throat, and his attempt to take off his hat froze in mid-air. His skull? Wouldn't that be like asking him to die?
Being in a high position, Chief Smith certainly cannot make a deal that would cost him his life, especially when he doesn't even know what the bargaining chip provided by the other party is.
"It seems you don't want to talk to me." Officer Smith put his hat back on. "Well, I want to keep my skull for myself. Please change the item. Are you interested in anything else?"
"Beautiful bones." Kailett looked at Chief Smith with malice in his eyes. "What else can it be? That's the only thing I'm interested in."
"Let's go, servant. I'll take you to see my friend." Kailett said to Louis.
As the half-skeleton boy walked past Chief Smith, he whispered, "Don't touch my 'property', or I won't be so polite next time."
The murderous aura with malicious intent was like a needle piercing his body, and Smith wanted to escape from here immediately.
"No," Smith replied.
Louis and Cole quickly followed Carey's footsteps and stole a glance at Smith as they passed by him. The middle-aged officer looked at Louis and Cole with a cold expression and finally said nothing.
Smith watched the three people leaving, and then in the distance, he saw a man in a suit with a cane, dressed like a gentleman.
That person looks so familiar.
It took Smith a while to remember who the man was.
After the live broadcast ended, Commander Smith climbed over the wall to check the live video of Japan. Someone had transcribed it, and although the clarity was not high, it was enough for Smith to see the faces of everyone in the video.
That man is the weird businessman Bai Yixin.
