I'm Not Shouldering This Blame

Johnson Brown was very nervous.

He was surrounded by men in black suits, all of them tall and burly. There was a classical fireplace in the spacious European-style living room, and an Italian man wearing an opal ring sat on an expensive leather sofa.

Johnson secretly compared in his heart that none of the male models in the studio was as eye-catching as the man in front of him sitting casually.

This "Mr. Morenza" seems to have been imprinted with time, with a faint smell of cigars, and the cuff buttons of the silk shirt reflect the brilliance of the crystal chandelier.

The casual attitude and indifferent eyes made Johnson, who has excellent intuition, feel scalp numb.

——It's very dangerous, every muscle in my body is tense, and I yelled to run away quickly.

After experiencing danger and death in the abandoned world, Johnson has grown a lot. After returning to the United States, he was forced to meet many people, FBI investigators, senior officials of the General Security Administration, and military personnel. They all have a common problem , like to dominate the right to speak.Whether it's gentle guidance, or speaking in a commanding tone with a straight face, Johnson doesn't take them seriously.

This is also the reason why supernatural beings are difficult to manage.

In a place where there is no order, the supernatural loses the awe that ordinary people have towards the state machine.What's more, even thinking has changed, and other human beings are just moving pieces of meat in their eyes.The stronger the power, the more people kill in the abandoned world, the more serious the situation.

Among the living S-level supernatural beings, Jian Hua's original personality is different from ordinary people, and he has mushrooms tossing around. He doesn't need to abandon human nature and principles to fight for food in order to survive, so he has not been affected much.

Li Fei is an excellent actor. This excellence is not only reflected in acting skills, but also in psychology.Since his debut, Li Fei has acted as a serial murderer who avenges his sister, a schizophrenic patient, and a biopic, playing a painter who is sensitive and hesitant to live and unfortunately commits suicide.With such efforts to figure out and shape the characters, Li Fei has never confused the characters with himself, he can get in and out, and get into the play in a second.

This is a kind of talent, and now this kind of talent has saved Li Fei, he can easily adjust his mentality, and Jian Hua is always with him, there is not even a factor that stimulates his spirit.

Junior Johnson didn't have such good luck.

His psychological problems are mainly manifested as sequelae of traumatic stress. He is used to a crisis-ridden environment. He has insomnia, nervousness, and is reluctant to contact strangers. If someone approaches him while he is in a daze, Johnson will reflexively attack the other party.

Federico had "foresighted" long ago and hired a psychiatrist for Johnson.

Well, they are also under the control of the Morensa family.

After Johnson was taken back to the United States, Federico became his official guardian and hired a tutor to teach him at home. Except during the filming of "The Abandoned", Johnson basically never went out, and his psychological problems gradually recovered.

Now 17-year-old Johnson is no longer thin and thin. His height jumped a few months after the filming ended, and the changes in his bones caused subtle changes in the contours of his face. Even if he returned to his hometown in South Sasha, it is estimated that Not many people could recognize him either.

Today was the premiere of "The Abandoned", and Johnson did not attend. He was going to watch the live broadcast at home, but he was told by Federico's driver that Mr. Wolfe Morenza wanted to see him.

During Johnson's return to the United States, he already knew what kind of person Federik's uncle was through the discussions he overheard and the manpower and material resources Federik used to bring him back from China.

It is false to say that I am not afraid.

There was no movement for such a long time, and Johnson thought that the other party didn't take him seriously at all. In the end, he threw a big "surprise" in the face. The godfather of the East Coast wanted to see him.

See you alone, without Federico with him.

Johnson came obediently.

As soon as he saw Wolfe Morenza, his intuition sent Johnson a danger alert.

Federico's driver, agent, and assistant, even if they are not members of the Morensa family, have passed through Wolfe's side. They are very respectful to Wolfe. Young Johnson can't count on the person who brought him here. .

This villa is far away from the urban area, and a large piece of forest nearby belongs to private land, surrounded by high fences. Johnson came in by car and saw many people with guns and dogs patrolling along the way.

Johnson didn't want to cause trouble for Federico. He usually found that Mr. Morenza respected that uncle in his speech. Johnson was even more disturbed, but he was nervous. He still raised his head and resisted the urge to back away, letting his cold and dangerous gaze look at him. look at yourself.

"Sit." Wolf pointed to the chair next to him.

The words were light and casual, as if they had no weight.

Johnson was stunned for a moment. He found that Wolfe's voice was very similar to Federico's. Does this family all have expertise in vocal range?The voice is different from others...

In fact, Wolff doesn't care what Johnson is doing here. He has already known the situation from Johnson's tutor and psychiatrist, and he pays close attention to everything around Federik.

"It's time to start."

The man standing by the living room wall immediately turned off the light.

It was dark before Johnson could react, and found that the home theater screen in the living room lit up.

The familiar piano melody and the BGM that appeared in the trailer of "The Abandoned" are very familiar to Johnson because he has watched it many times, but the picture is dark, and the city is immersed in the night, quiet and peaceful.

Feature film!

Johnson was refreshed, he hadn't seen it yet!

In order to protect Johnson, Federico deliberately joined the Morensa family to erase Johnson's participation in the later stage of publicity, trying to downplay the presence of the protagonist as a teenager. Anyway, the name Johnson Brown has a high repetition rate in the United States.

Wolfe didn't have to attend the premiere, and could watch the film at home, and Johnson wasn't surprised. He was quickly attracted to the main character on the screen who was about to interview the symphony orchestra.

The magic of sound, the breeze and drizzle brewing under the fingertips, sometimes like violent thunder.

Johnson had seen this filming, and he suddenly found that the actors added to the camera were completely different from the scene. The camera and post-production seemed to have unearthed all the charm of Federico.

He turned his head subconsciously, and with the help of the light from the screen, Johnson saw that Wolfe looked more serious than before.

—So Mr. Morenza's uncle came to watch the movie today?

Johnson was a little dazed.

"Why are you in a daze?" Wolf's tone was dissatisfied.

Johnson quickly turned his attention to the screen, and soon followed the "protagonist" away. The peaceful life was suddenly broken, and disasters and monsters appeared at the same time...Back to reality, the death of friends, dead bodies in the streets, people The wailing and weeping filled the city.

As the plot progressed slowly, Johnson clenched his fingers involuntarily, his expression changing with the screen.

Johnson almost jumped up and waved his arms to kill the monster when the monster came from the screen with a ferocious mouth. Fortunately, he restrained himself, because he no longer had that familiar feeling when activating the ability.

Wolfe saw all the actions of the young Johnson.

Halfway through the movie, Johnson's chair left its original position, because sometimes he leaned back heavily, and sometimes he couldn't help leaning forward to see the details of the picture. This is not a movie theater, and the chair is not fixed.

By chance, he met the "protagonist" of the U.S. Ability Bureau, and was exposed by the person in charge, suspecting that he was a wanted serial murderer, because one of the victims was his high school classmate.

The fragments of memories are very short, and the content is similar to Johnson's real experience, an orphan who suffered from school violence. The only difference is that there is a teacher who appreciates the protagonist's musical talent, and has been funding him and occasionally taking care of him.

Johnson's acting skills are average, so naturally there aren't too many scenes for him, but the editing is very ingenious. The stylist even designed a small bright red mole on the pinna of Johnson and Federico's ears, plus The makeup artist deliberately made the same eyebrows and eyes (mainly to paint Johnson like Federico), and the two people of different ages have similarities in appearance.

Johnson stared at the screen in a daze.

He didn't expect the result to be so good in the end. The boy who huddled in the corner and said nothing, touched the wound on his head, carefully took out a sheet music from his arms, drew a grid of keys under the window sill with chalk, and opened his palms. Practice it.

The light is warm, fingers are skillfully jumping on the "keyboard", the darkness is behind the boy, and in front of him are blooming flower beds and bright sunshine.

This "fingering exercise" was not filmed by Johnson, and the crew hired a young piano learner as a temporary stand-in.

Johnson was in a trance. The figure of the boy in the recalled picture was gradually elongated. The camera was placed on the shadow on the ground. The picture flickered, and the camera was raised along the long shadow. It had been replaced by a young and handsome performer standing under the flowerbed of the school. , slender fingers stroked the old window sill.

"Johnson."

The characters in the movie shout the protagonist's name from afar.

The body of the boy watching the movie trembled slightly, as if he really realized that this disaster movie was a portrayal of reality, and he was connected with the fate of Federico Morenza.

Wolff stood up silently and left the living room where the film was being projected, Johnson was oblivious to it.

Coming outside the villa, a respectful man in a suit lit a cigar for Wolfe.

"Sir, you can rest assured now that this boy is indeed no threat to little Mr. Morenza."

"The relationship is too good, isn't it a threat?" Wolff said coldly. Federik almost lost his life in order to save this kid. Ke's life was about to be ruined.

Wolfe was the first group of people who had seen the film, and he knew what the follow-up plot would be even after it came out.

"The person who played the team leader of the Chinese Dragon Team..."

Wolfe thought deeply with a sullen face. The first part about Li Fei didn't have many plots, and it didn't take too long. It took about 15 minutes in total. After all, the main plot of the first part of "The Abandoned" was still in the United States.Wolf can't see what kind of person Li Fei is from the movie, which is a bit tricky.

"The information is unmistakable. The Balrog is protected by the Chinese Dragon Group! Ah, sorry, it is the Chinese Red Dragon." The man in the black suit was a little dizzy. The Red Dragon was the code name and the name of the secret department at one time. The reality is the same as the movie setting. It's such a hassle to confuse.

"He's very stress-free, very high-profile, and doesn't care about the ramifications of a global release."

The former supernatural beings wanted to dig a hole to hide themselves.

Wolfe's subordinates thought for a while and put forward their opinions: "Maybe he is used to being the focus and standing under the eyes of everyone?"

"No, it's confident, courageous, and capable." Wolfe took a puff of his cigar. The power behind Balrog is undoubtedly the red dragon, but as a very thoughtful person, he created a huge mysterious organization in the abandoned world. People, will completely trust the state apparatus?

"Chinese people, it's really hard to understand." Wolf flicked the ashtray with his hand down, and the winking subordinate immediately picked up the ashtray, and the timing and position were all chosen just right.

Putting the cigar in his mouth again, Wolf said suddenly. "Find out the video of the sea conflict on the day the abandoned world disappeared. I want to check it carefully."

It is obviously very troublesome to obtain this kind of government secret information without first passers-by.

Three days later, Wolfe Morenza got the image taken by the satellite.

When Federico came back from his private jet, he pushed open the door, and the smoking room was filled with smoke and seemed to be on fire.

"Ahem, uncle?"

After turning on the ventilation for half a minute, Federico went in again.

Wolfe faced the screen. He couldn't find any problems in the video data, but his guess became clearer.

——Because the Devourer was swept away by the abandoned world, Li Fei, who was panicked and almost collapsed, recovered so quickly, and filmed as if nothing had happened, willing to live the life of an ordinary person?

"Federick, don't go to China again."

"Huh?" Federico wondered.

Wolff glanced at him, but didn't say that he suspected that Li Fei's temper was distorted by the stimulation, and that he might have been plotting and planning revenge, causing big trouble sooner or later. What Wolff said was the second, more direct guess.

"The Devourer may not be dead."

"..."

Federico was so guilty that he didn't tell his uncle about it. He saw Jian Hua at the airport when he took Johnson home, but he didn't say anything when he came back.

"The relationship between the Devourer and the Balrog is extraordinary." Federic said awkwardly, "Johnson once heard that they were in the night...well, they were in the dungeon on the Turkish plateau."

Wolf was taken aback, and then felt that this was just as reasonable as his own guess.

Federico was not worried that his uncle would tell the secret, but out of fear of the Devourer, he subconsciously wanted to keep his familiar relatives and friends away from this name.

"Actually, the Devourer, in reality, is someone close to Li Fei and his stand-in actor. In the film, the Major of the Chinese Dragon Team may have some shots of the Devourer, not the Balrog."

Wolfe was intrigued.

"uncle?"

"Go and rest, we'll talk about other things later." Wolfe spoke in a commanding tone.

Well, there's a new reason to watch the movie a few more times tonight.
