Chapter 427: The Disappeared Daughter (Please Vote for the Big Chapter)
The blaring horn sounded on the busy highway.
Vehicles travel slowly on this section of the road, and a large number of vehicles are congested on this section of the road.
"What's going on here on Weiss Avenue?"
The driver is chatting with his colleagues on the car's built-in monitor.
"I heard that a madman was bumping into people in front of the traffic jam. The traffic police are clearing it."
The colleague replied casually.
"Made, everything has happened in the past two years."
The driver put his hands on the steering wheel and looked back at He Ao who was sitting behind him, "Sir, it may be a little later."
"fine."
He Ao smiled and nodded.
9 o'clock is the normal off-duty time. In the past, Pate often found work outside at 11 o'clock.
My daughter is used to it.
He Ao leaned on the soft seat in the back, his whole body slowly relaxed and regained his energy.
He clicked on the personal attributes panel.
【Heao (Pate)】
[Permission Level: Advanced Player]
[Physical fitness: 782 (4)]
[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (Level C), Basic Firearms Proficiency (Soul Part), Talent Sequence 40: Magician (Level D) (Unusable)]
[Mechanical modification: none]
[Martial Arts: Refining Qi and Transforming into God (Level C) (some can be used)]
Physical fitness 4···
This is the lowest physical fitness that He Ao has ever seen, worse than Roy who has been a homeless man for several years and indulged in alcohol and sex.
But it makes sense when you think about it. At the age of 44, he works intense overtime all year round, travels, stays up late, has irregular work and rest schedules, and is burdened with the psychological pressure of huge loans. His father and wife have passed away, he has been fired, and he has no way to find a job.
In this state, it is indeed difficult to maintain a good body.
No wonder I get tired so easily.
He Ao tried to breathe in the energy in the air, but found that the circuits in Pate's body were almost completely blocked and could not absorb energy normally.
Obviously, Pate is not the kind of person with martial arts talent.
But yes, if he had martial arts talent, even ordinary breathing could convert part of the energy, and his physical fitness would not be so bad.
It seems that we still have to find a way to get some talent sequences.
He Ao closed the personal attributes page and opened the character card interface.
There are currently only those three character cards in the character card interface.
After He Ao exchanged [King of Night], the face of this card was covered with light purple, while the other two cards were hazy gray.
He Ao's eyes focused on the [King of Night].
This card slowly floated out from among the three cards and moved in front of He Ao. At the same time, a new pop-up window popped up.
[Should I use one redemption star to exchange for one day’s use of ‘King of Night’? (The redemption stars you can currently use: 1)]
······
After redeeming the card, do you still have to pay for using it?
He Ao was silent for a moment.
His eyes shifted to the three words 'Exchange Star'.
If he remembered correctly, when the system was upgraded, the origin of this ‘redeem star’ was explained.
His only redemption star came from the extra S-level rating he got from doing upgrade tasks.
From this point of view, this redemption star is directly related to the overall evaluation.
In addition, the current evaluation system has been changed from S evaluation to star evaluation.
Does it mean that the evaluation stars for subsequent task evaluations can be directly converted into redemption stars?
After the task evaluation system was upgraded, it was also reminded that evaluation has other useful uses, so you can explore it on your own.
The 'wonderful use' here means that it can be used to redeem character card usage time?
No, maybe it can be used not only to redeem usage time.
He Ao focused his attention on the [Primal Fire] card on the left that symbolized Joey.
A pop-up window popped up quickly.
[Do you want to pay 3 redemption stars to exchange for ‘Primal Fire’? (The redemption stars you can currently use: 1)]
Sure enough, the redemption of character cards is also calculated based on the redemption stars.
However, different character cards may have different requirements.
He Ao turned his attention to the [Transgressor] symbolizing Nell again. This time, the system did not pop up a pop-up window.
It seems that some conditions have not been met, and [the transgressor] has been in a state of being unable to redeem it.
I don’t know what this requirement is.
The problem with the system is that it is too simple and has no prompts. You need to explore it by yourself.
It looks like a programmer just randomly built a framework and pretended it was complete.
He Ao withdrew his gaze and stared at the [King of Night] in front of him. In the end, he did not choose to directly redeem the usage time of this card.
If the effect of this card is what he thinks, then he only has one chance to use it at the most critical moment.
After exiting the character card interface, He Ao looked ahead.
The originally congested traffic flow has gradually loosened up, and the taxi is driving forward leisurely.
They passed by a place where the guardrail was broken, which seemed to be the location where the car accident had just occurred.
A bloodstain that had not yet been cleaned ran along the road to where the guardrail was damaged, looking a little scary under the not-so-bright streetlight.
"Sigh," the driver glanced at the blood stain and quickly looked away, "the world is getting harder and harder."
He Ao turned to look out the window. Homeless homeless people were sitting in tents beside the road, staring numbly and blankly at the surrounding vehicles.
"There's no telling when I'm going to join them,"
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed, "The company has cut wages several times, but the bank interest cannot be reduced at all. I now pay off my mortgage and credit card every month, and I don't even have enough money left to buy a car." bread."
"well."
He glanced at He Ao behind him who had turned around, sighed, and continued to drive quietly.
At this moment, He Ao's focus was not on the driver's words.
Just now, he felt some kind of soul throb, the 'throb' coming from super memory.
It seemed that someone he 'tagged' was doing something.
This was the first time he used the marking ability, and he didn't expect that this ability could have such an effect.
He cannot use Super Memory's 'Listening' and 'Easy Thinking' without turning on Super Memory, and the activation time of Super Memory is very short, which makes the continuous monitoring ability of 'Listening' practical. There is not much time for it to take effect.
Just when He Ao thought that 'listening' might have no effect, he unexpectedly felt this throbbing.
He calmed down and activated his super memory.
There are only two people he has marked now, one is the doctor who tried to perform the 'surgery' on him, and the other is Reid, the director of the institute.
——
Inside the beautifully decorated office.
"Mr. Reid, this is the information that can be found on the face of 'Pate'."
The officer handed the e-book tablet in his hand to Red, "Pate, forty-four years old, widowed, both parents dead, graduated from Chenxi University, has a daughter in high school at Elland Private Middle School, lost his job half a year ago, and still Carrying a mortgage.”
"Let me see."
Rhett took the e-book tablet and flipped through it quickly.
"If you just look at the information, it looks like an ordinary corporate employee,"
The officer said slowly, "The company he originally worked for, Jieli Consulting Services, is a company that specializes in consulting services for small businesses. He does not have any work experience related to the medical industry."
"If it's not found, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not there,"
Rhett placed the tablet in his hand on the table and fell into a brief thought, "Can an ordinary working man in his forties and unemployed easily kill a C-level strongman like Mano?"
"yes."
The officer nodded slightly, "It is indeed wrong to think so."
Rhett leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"Perhaps the identity of this ordinary employee is just a cover-up. He is secretly a member of some underground organization. His unemployment is not unemployment, but that he resigned from his disguised job in order to devote himself to performing a certain task."
He pondered, "So, what should this task be?"
At this moment, the door of the originally closed conference room was pushed open silently, and a figure shrouded in a dark hood slowly walked in.
This figure was tall and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
But his steps were very light and he didn't make any sound.
Until he walked next to the officer, neither Red nor the officer noticed his presence.
"Is your stuff ready?"
A hoarse voice sounded in the ears of Red, who was thinking.
Rhett was suddenly awakened and sat up in horror. He raised his head and looked at the figure shrouded in a black hood, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Of course I'm ready."
He reached under the desk, pulled out a small square suitcase, and placed it in front of the hooded figure.
"good."
A frightening hand that was as thin as skin and bones stretched out from under the hood and grabbed the handle of the suitcase.
"Wait a moment,"
Rhett seemed to be afraid that he would disappear in the next second, so he quickly took out an identical suitcase from under the table and put it on the table, "Kill someone else for me. This is the deposit, and there will be a share after the event is completed."
"That person," a hoarse voice came from under the hood, "is he very strong?"
"He killed Mano with two moves."
Rhett said slowly.
"Interesting, I like killing strong men," a smile seemed to appear under the dark hood, "it sounds exciting to me."
Rhett looked happy.
But then, the black shadow changed the topic, "But, this is not enough."
Rhett was stunned, "Didn't you say you like killing strong men?"
"It's a hobby, a hobby is a hobby, and a job is a job,"
The shadow under the hood said calmly, "I am a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. If you don't give me enough money, I won't do anything."
······
Rhett's face darkened, "Then add another."
"make a deal."
At the same time as the black shadow's hoarse voice sounded, he also picked up the remaining box with his other hand and said, "Send his information to my email."
Then his figure slowly disappeared from Red's sight, as if he had never appeared before.
After confirming that there were no black figures around, the officer looked at Red and said,
"Mr. Reid, can Shadow take care of it?"
"There is no one whom the shadow cannot kill," Rhett looked at the officer, "You ask, what do you think?"
"Doesn't that Pat have a daughter?"
The officer said slowly, "How about I send someone to catch Pat before she goes back? If Shadow fails, we will have a hostage to hold Pat."
Rhett looked at the officer. He was obviously touched by the officer's proposal, but he still hesitated.
He needs to make a choice.
Finally, he shook his head,
"No need. Arresting people rashly can easily lead to complications. If someone takes a picture and posts it on the Internet, we will have to spend more energy to settle the matter. This is a critical moment. Everything is about stability. The shadow can If we can do this secretly alone, we don’t need to do anything extra.”
He stood up slowly and praised the officer, "Your suggestion is very good, I will take note of it."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Reid."
The officer also nodded quickly.
——
Sitting in the taxi, He Ao came back to his senses, and the originally dull eyes gathered in his eyes.
He turned off his super memory, felt the severe weakness coming from his body, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although 'Listening' cannot be used normally when super memory is turned off, it still monitors the marked person's thinking in a sense. When the marked person has thoughts that are unfavorable to He Ao, He Ao will Receive reminders from it.
This ability is very good and can play a certain monitoring role.
He Ao squinted his eyes slightly and carefully felt the fatigue of his body.
He had just used 'Yisi' to modify Red's choice, allowing the other party to avoid the option of arresting his daughter.
This is not the first time he has used the ability of 'Yisi' to change other people's decisions. Previously, when Super Memory in the main world had not yet been fully promoted, he used the incomplete 'Yisi' to modify the 'Boss' Decide.
But the feeling of using the ability of the body is different from the feeling of using Pate's body ability now.
Super memory basically has no burden on He Ao's physical body, which has a physical quality of 782, so he doesn't feel anything when using his ability.
But for Pate's body, whose physical fitness is only 4, He used it just this time. The little energy he finally recovered was taken away in an instant, making him even more tired.
He took two deep breaths and fell asleep leaning on the back seat of the taxi.
······
When the taxi arrived at the downstairs of Pate's house, it was already 10:30 in the evening.
Many of the lights in the apartment building were still on, and even the elevators were a little crowded.
Many people are just now returning home from get off work.
Pate's house is on the 27th floor, close to the top floor. Standing by the window, you can see the bright night view of the city.
2702
He Ao stood in front of the door, verified the face and fingerprints, and opened the door.
However, although there are many verification items, the entire verification process is actually completed the moment He Ao holds the door handle.
So he didn't feel anything when opening the door. He held the door handle and turned it, and the door opened.
The lights in the house were dark, but the lights in my daughter's room were still on.
Public high schools in Rimen City finish school at 2:30 or 3 pm, while private high schools finish at 5 pm, but no matter what, the time now is far later than the time when my daughter gets out of school.
He Ao gently closed the door and opened the refrigerator, which contained vegetable salad and roast beef prepared by his daughter.
Pate hasn't had a careful communication with his daughter for a long time.
He was afraid of seeing his daughter, afraid that her daughter would realize that he was an incompetent father, and afraid that he would be sorry for his deceased wife.
But in fact, the family's savings were exhausted last week, and soon, Pate will be unable to pay the electricity bill for the apartment and the food expenses for his daughter at school.
He Ao sighed, closed the refrigerator door, and walked to his daughter's room door. At this time, his daughter should be playing on the computer or doing homework.
He knocked on the door lightly, "Aini, are you asleep?"
There was no response from inside.
He knocked again.
Still no response.
He turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
Bright lights illuminate the pink-and-white room.
The lamp on the desk is also on, and the textbooks are placed flat on the table.
But the computer chair where her daughter Aini was supposed to be sitting was empty.
