A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 695 Detective Jessica Jones, Kilgrave’s Revenge

"Okay, don't stand here either, he didn't say not to let you sit down and rest."

After hearing this, Hope carefully moved to a chair and sat down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Miss Hope Slotman, who is that person?"

"All I know is that his name is Kilgrave, and he won't tell me the rest.

To him, I was just a plaything, and he could discard it at will when he got tired of playing with it. Hope said bitterly, "I really appreciate you, really."

If you hadn't come in time, even if he could let me go in the end, I would have jumped from here. "

"How long can he control people?"

"I'm not particularly sure, but it should be twelve hours!"

"Very good, that means you will be free in twelve hours." Aaron comforted, then turned on his phone and deleted all the previously recorded videos.

"What are you doing?" Hope asked anxiously, "Why did you delete all the videos?"

"If you don't delete it, it will occupy memory?"

"But these are evidence. If they are handed over to the police..."

"Don't be ridiculous, the police are no match for him. As long as he talks about arresting him, the police will point their guns at his companions.

As for wanted... he can find the best doctor to change his face, and he can also control government officials to give him a brand new identity.

Therefore, this video is not a threat to him at all. At most, it only causes him a little trouble.

What's more important is that you are also in the video. Once someone asks you, the victim, what happened today, I will naturally enter their sight.

Frankly speaking, I don't like the feeling of being in the spotlight, so... you'd better check your confession with me? "

"Confession?"

"Yes! I will notify your parents when you are safe.

If they ask you why you've been missing for a while, just say you were kidnapped by a pervert, don't mention Kilgrave's name, and discourage them from delving further. "

"This is impossible, I can't do it."

"But you must do it." Aaron said seriously, "I know you feel very humiliated, but your parents are just ordinary people, and they may get revenge if they get involved.

Did he really get away with it for so long and no one reported him?

Sure, but the end result is nothing. "

"You should have killed him just now." Hope said sadly.

"Miss Slotman, I need to remind you that the reward your parents gave me was just to find you. I have already exceeded my task.

As for killing people, that's not my business.

In addition, although his attitude towards me was very bad, I shot him three times to make things even.

If there ever comes a day when I kill as I please based solely on my personal likes and dislikes, it will definitely be a disaster for this wonderful world. "

Hearing this, Hope was also speechless and just sobbed in frustration.

Seeing this, Aaron felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he quickly calmed down his fluctuating emotions.

There are too many poor people in the world, and he can't sympathize with them. What's more, this matter involves a person with super powers. Too much intervention will only make him more conspicuous.

...

Time passed minute by minute, and three hours later, Hope put down the knife and fork against her neck. Her whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and she slumped down on the chair.

"Congratulations, you are safe now."

Hope breathed in the not-so-fresh air in the room, and then cried loudly, venting the emotions that had been suppressed deep in his heart.

Aaron didn't stop him, he just silently covered his ears.

When she was almost done crying, she looked at Aaron blankly and begged: "Can you call my parents?"

"Past experience tells me that you have to be careful when sailing for thousands of years." Aaron said seriously, "Wait another seven or eight hours until Kilgrave's ability completely fails before you contact them again!"

"Then can you leave this place first?"

“I suggest you don’t go anywhere for these seven or eight hours.

Kilgrave is a pervert, and we don't know if he has any plans for you. "

Hope fell into a brief silence and sat back at a loss.

At this time, a woman wearing a black coat and blue jeans carefully opened the door. She first glanced at Hope, and then set her sights on Aaron.

"Who are you?"

"I should ask you this question!" Aaron said speechlessly, "If I remember correctly, I locked the door. How did you get in?"

"Obviously, you remembered wrongly. The door was not locked at all."

"Okay! Then who are you?

It doesn't seem polite to break into someone else's room without permission. "

"Jessica Jones, private detective, the Slotmans commissioned me to find their daughter Hope." Jessica said quickly, "Is it your turn to introduce yourself?"

"Aaron Gaius, an ordinary shop owner."

"Remember, your advertisements on the Internet are very famous, and I even contributed a like."

Aaron: ...

Damn Phil Coulson.

"So you're here to see Hope too?"

"That's right! You came a step too late and I found her first." Aaron said with some pride.

"This is not important." Jessica didn't care, but looked at Hope solemnly and asked, "Is he here? Is Kilgrave here?"

Hope was stunned for a moment and looked at Aaron unconsciously.

Aaron was speechless. They had just finished making a confession when they met a professional detective, and this detective seemed to be very familiar with Kilgrave.

"What are you looking at me for? This detective is asking you, so just say whatever you have to say." Aaron said seriously, "Anyway, I didn't see the third person when I came here."

Hop suddenly understood and shook his head at Jessica, "He's not here."

Jessica relaxed a little, "How long has he been gone?"

"More than five hours."

"He will be back soon. I have to get you out quickly."

"I can't leave." Hope said tangledly. Aaron said he would have to wait twelve hours before leaving. It's not time yet!

“No, you have to come with me.

By the time he comes back it will be too late. "Jessica grabbed Hope's arm and looked at Aaron, "And you, it's best to leave quickly. The owner of this room is not a good person. "

"Huh?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, and looked at Jessica with a hint of amusement and sympathy.

He seemed to understand why the detective knew about Kilgrave. If nothing else, she should also be a victim, Hope Slotman's previous victim.

However, knowing that he can control people's will, he still dared to come to the door, which can be regarded as courageous.

"Aaron, I..."

beep...

Jessica's cell phone rang suddenly, and she pressed the answer button.

"Miss Jones?"

"Mr. Slotman, I found Hope."

"To emphasize, Mr. Slotman," Aaron interjected, "I found your daughter first."

Jessica rolled her eyes at Aaron and continued: “You must take her away, as far away as possible.

I checked out the hotel room and came directly to my office. "

"I do not understand."

"Tell me, what happened?" Barbara asked anxiously.

"Stop asking so many questions, just do as you are told and meet in my office." After Jessica hung up the phone, "Hurry up, we have to go."

Hope looked at Aaron hesitantly, not sure whether he should go or not.

"Let's go! I'll go with you.

But I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I can stay with you for one night at most. "

"Thank you." Hope nodded gratefully. She also understood what Aaron meant. Kilgrave's ability would be ineffective after one night, and he could only protect her until then.

The three of them quickly left the hotel. Hope sat on Aaron's motorcycle and followed Jessica's taxi to her detective agency, a dirty rental house.

"For a woman, your home, no, your office is a bit too simple.

A shabby desk, the cheapest vodka, a broken door and a drafty window. Aaron said with some disgust, "How much is the monthly rent here?" It should be no more than five hundred! "

"It's less than one thousand including water and electricity. I can't afford any more." Jessica said bluntly, "But what does this have to do with you?"

"Does it count to help me find a sense of superiority?"

Jessica rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "You are so funny."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Jessica ignored him, but walked to Hope who was sitting by the bed and said patiently: "No matter how Kilgrave controls others, it will eventually lose its effectiveness.

But it takes time and we need to stay as far away from him as possible, so the three of us have to leave quickly. "

"Excuse me, who is this Kilgrave?" Aaron asked knowingly, secretly filling in a loophole.

"You wouldn't believe a scumbag who can manipulate others as he pleases."

"I believe it. I have seen professional hypnotists who can hypnotize people with just one look." Aaron said seriously. His own charm magic had the same effect.

"Hypnotist?" Jessica said 'haha', expressing her disdain, "You can understand that, but Kilgrave is thousands of times worse than a hypnotist."

"He forced me to do something I didn't want to do, but I somehow wanted to do it," Hope choked up.

"It's all over. Go back and have a good sleep and you'll be fine."

"This is not something you can forget after just sleeping." Jessica squatted in front of Hope sympathetically, "Listen to me, this is not your fault."

"You do not understand."

"I understand, okay? I know." Jessica said empathetically, "Read it to me again, 'It's not my fault,' and tell it to me."

"This is not..." Hope finished her words with sobs, "This is not my fault."

"If I'm not wrong, this is what a psychiatrist taught you, right?" Aaron joked, "Are you sure he's not a liar? No, I should just ask him how much money he defrauded you."

Jessica was so angry, "Do you really think you are funny?"

“I didn’t have this idea, but cheap self-comfort is actually just a way of deceiving yourself.

If Kilgrave's story is true, then he is a lingering nightmare for you, and it will not end until he dies. "

Jessica was speechless immediately. This was indeed the method taught to her by the psychiatrist, but she really didn't think it was useful.

At this time, the door opened, and the Slotmans hurried in.

Seeing Hope crying, the parents felt heart-wrenching pain.

"My baby, thank God." Barbara and Bob held their daughter tightly.

"This is not my fault."

"I know, baby."

"She'll be fine, just don't let her get close to the man who abducted her again," Jessica said.

"Abducted?" Bob seemed to know why his daughter had been missing for a month. She was really kidnapped!

"He...escaped." Jessica said against her will. "Now all you have to do is take Hope to the car and drive west without looking back until your home in Omaha."

"We will take her home now, thank you." Barbara said.

As soon as the three of them reached the door, Hope turned around and gave Aaron a hug, "Thank you for saving me. You saved my life and my soul."

Jessica was stunned for a moment and looked at Aaron in surprise.

What did this guy do? It should be more than just finding Hope, could it be...

Impossible, no one can save someone in front of Kilgrave.

"That's an exaggeration." Aaron said with a nonchalant smile, "I just want to be worthy of my remuneration for doing things."

"Thank you too, Miss Jones." Hope looked at Jessica and said, "This is not my fault."

"Let's go! I'll follow in a minute." Jessica said and packed up her things. She couldn't stay here for the time being. If she saved Hope, she would ruin Kilgrave's good deeds. If he were to It would be tragic to find yourself.

"Do I need to wait for you, Miss Jones?"

"Do you like watching women put away their private clothes?" Jessica teased.

Aaron shrugged and followed the three of them.

After a while, he followed the Slotman family into the elevator, and at this time Jessica just packed up her personal belongings and walked out of the room.

The elevator doors began to close, and she saw Hope reach into his bag and pull out a pistol.

"No!"

Jessica rushed to the elevator immediately, but she was still a step too late and only heard two gunshots.

She suddenly understood why Kilgrave recommended him to the Slomantes to help find their daughter, and why he and Gaius could find Hope so easily without Kilgrave doing anything to stop him.

He is a lunatic. He asked Hope to kill her parents with her own hands, and also made her, the one who found her, feel deeply guilty and self-blame.

This was definitely Kilgrave's revenge. He was taking revenge on himself for not saving him at the time. He watched helplessly as he was hit by a car, but turned around and left without looking back.
