Chapter 409 Tasks that need to be triggered
As an excellent agent, Ethan would not believe in a group of strangers just because of a few words or a few amazing pictures.
He has done all similar things himself: creating a special scene and taking the opportunity to obtain useful information.
Now he is more inclined to be someone deliberately slandering himself - because no intelligence agency will make such an exaggerated thing as aliens attacking the earth to deceive him; this routine is more suitable for prank entertainment programs.
"Is it an old friend who is joking with me?"
Ethan, who came to this judgment, relaxed a little. Instead of getting the pistol that had been dismantled into parts, he came to the door again: "Can I go out and have a look?"
"Please." Louis found Ethan was still looking at him and deliberately made a move to twist the handle hard, so he understood what he meant: "This door was not locked by us, so you have to find a key yourself... or you can kick it out."
This time it's not a puzzle game...
Louis suddenly remembered the red core world I experienced last time, and kept forcing you to follow the fixed route. Do you want to take a shortcut? Kick the door? Leap the window? Nothing is allowed!
But that time I was trapped in a dream or a virtual world, and that situation could be explained. Could it be that I entered the virtual world again this time?
Louis didn't say anything. He wanted to observe carefully and collect more useful information through Ethan's actions.
Kara stood quietly beside her, always ensuring that there was no one behind her and ensuring that all strangers were in their sight.
Even at this time, she still controlled her position well, and at most she did not directly show her vigilance in her physical movements.
After looking around, there were no other people except Louis before. Cara looked at Rey not far away. She seemed to be someone who could easily make things happen.
"Hello, I'm Carla Wade."
"Rey!" Rey didn't say anything not only because she didn't understand the current situation, but also because she found that she knew another language (the language commonly used in the Star Wars world is Oribesh, which is also used as a common language).
"British?" For some reason, Rey spoke English with a British accent and was mistakenly regarded as a British man by Kara.
"Jakku people."
"Where is that?" Kara saw the girl named Rey on the opposite side and smiled and didn't answer. She knew that she could not ask more, so she turned her head and looked at Bruce not far away.
"What about you? What should you call me?"
"Bruce Wayne."
"This name is so familiar... Well..." Kara didn't think about Batman at the first time, but as a 'public figure' who is very well-known all over the world, Kara quickly remembered what this name means: "Is this your real name? Or is it just a code name? Why use this name?"
"Bikos Amud Whiteman!"
"Okay." Kara was speechless. She looked tall and strong but liked to tell cold jokes. Of course, she might be deliberately talking nonsense to deal with herself and not letting herself find out any information.
At this time, Ethan had found the key and opened the locked living room door. Then he walked out of the living room carefully. Ethan did not leave the house directly and went outside, but walked around the room, and finally opened the door and walked out.
Standing here from the window, you can see Ethan walking outside the house. At this time, there were many people standing on the street. They all looked towards the sky with their heads raised. The huge, black disc was still moving.
He had his own way to collect information, but Louis didn't care what Ethan did. He looked by the window for a while and walked back to the sofa, looking at Kara who kept a good distance.
"You should have many questions, too?"
"Yes." Carla looked at the few people, and they didn't mean to surround him: "What I want to ask is this a prank arranged by Henry or Ben?"
"I don't know the two people you mentioned."
"The one outside, you're sure it's not the scene in Independence Day. I've seen this movie." Independence Day is a very classic commercial science fiction film, with many air battle scenes. As a pilot, Kara has certainly watched this movie, more than once.
"Then I want to congratulate you, at least you know where you came this time." Louis also recognized that this was a classic scene in Independence Day, and he also knew that he and others were in Los Angeles.
Not only that, just by the window, he noticed a familiar black man standing next to the street not far to the left. If Louis was right next to him, he would definitely say hello to him enthusiastically: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Agent Gou!"
But just thinking about it casually, without really running over. After determining which world this was, he realized the trouble he was about to face: they might have to find a way to escape the first round of attacks by aliens against the earth: main gun bombardment against major cities and military facilities.
The main gun of this disc-type battleship is located directly under the spacecraft and is obviously used to clean the floor. In the original film, the entire Los Angeles was shot out, leaving only a huge pit in the center of the explosion, and the outermost surrounding area turned into ruins.
According to Louis's understanding of the original plot, the neighborhood they are currently staying in is still within the range of being hit by alien main guns.
Just as Louis was thinking about whether to stay away from Los Angeles in advance before everyone realized the danger and traffic was congested?
Just as he was thinking this, the Seal of the Brave in his left hand suddenly sent a message to him: protect Marilyn Whitmore and Jasmine Dubro.
Louis glanced at his left hand in surprise, and the faint light flashed across it, and he immediately glanced at Bruce next to him.
"Marilyn Whitmore is the wife of President Thomas Whitmore, the first lady. She happened to be in Los Angeles in the plot." Bruce guessed what Louis wanted to ask, and immediately said the information about the two target characters: "Jasmin Dubro is Steve Heller's girlfriend."
"Remember so clearly?"
"My memory ability has been improving over the years... In fact, even if you don't ask me, you will soon remember these two people."
Louis did not answer this. He was not sure if he could remember the true identities of these two people, because he didn't care too much about the real names of these two people when he first saw them. Jasmine had barely had some impression of what the first lady was called. It was really hard for him to remember.
After a few conversations between the two made Kara feel even more speechless: Are these two too immersed in the show?
It was similar to Ethan, and she didn't really believe that she would encounter such a magical thing. So after thinking for a while, Kara also thought that who was playing a prank against her? What a little puzzled her was that the person who just left looked very much like the famous movie star. What level of prank should be that to invite that person over?
Maybe it's just a special actor who looks like? After all, this person looks much younger.
There is also the one who calls himself Batman, who also looks very much like a movie star, but the one in front of him looks even thicker.
As for Louis who had been communicating with her in front of him, maybe he was a magician? The previous picture of the pistol decomposing itself in the air was indeed amazing.
She was thinking about things here, or analyzing the situation, and Louis opposite her realized another thing: the two temporary newcomers did not have the Seal of the Brave, which means they could not receive the task? And the task was triggered by herself and others, proving that there was a big difference between this place and the Red Core Task.
Bruce also realized this, and he doubted whether the maze was deliberately putting it on the cusp of the two of them?
Considering that the task is not collected as soon as it enters this world, it is similar to the "trigger" mode, this makes Bruce very worried whether there will be any task hidden in these two temporary partners.
“I think the possibility is very high.”
In this way, these two people cannot be allowed to move freely, and they must be under the surveillance and protection of Louis.
At this moment, Ethan, who had gone out to investigate for a while, came back, and his face was not very good-looking.
Although he didn't go out for a long time, he had collected enough information and even drove to the distance for some investigation.
All the evidence proves that this is a real city, not a studio or a specially built prop scene. In addition, various information collected specially gathered together, the answer points to the result he least wanted to believe.
"How is this possible? We're really coming to another world?"
"Yes, and we already know where this is."
"where?"
"Have you seen the movie "Independence Day?"
Ethan shook his head and said that he had never watched it. This made Louis a little helpless and could only explain simply: it was a science fiction film in which aliens invaded the earth and the earthlings struggled to fight back.
"So, you mean we are now in the world of this movie? The spaceship outside is an alien? And ready to attack at any time?"
"Yes, that's it."
Ethan stared at Louis tightly, then looked at the other people. Except for the pilot named Carla who looked like "I'll just watch you perform quietly", the remaining people didn't seem nervous about this situation.
"You have a way to deal with it, right?"
"The alien attacks cannot threaten us, but we have additional tasks to complete." Louis said that these people must protect two of them.
"A very important person?"
"It's more important to us." If we can't complete the task, they don't know what will happen. No one wants to encounter unknown troubles. The best way is to prevent this from happening.
Ethan pressed his temples with his fingers on both hands. Everything in front of him made him feel a headache, and what made him even more depressed was that everything that would happen next would be out of his control.
