Fascinated

"Good evening, gentlemen." The man in the iron gray suit stood up, stretched out his hand, and smiled gracefully, "Long time no see, Joshua. I think this is...Mr. Malfoy?" He turned slightly, He reached out and shook Draco's hand with a polite smile.

Joshua nodded, and introduced sideways, "Malfoy, my best friend. The cooperation between me and you has not been hidden from him. The possible accidents on this cruise ship also need his help. I think he can participate in our cooperation. talk."

"Oh, of course. It's really an enviable feeling." The man smiled, and a narrow smile flashed in his light gray eyes.He reached out to turn on the computer on the table and handed them two earphones, then sat down and said slowly, "Let me formally introduce——John Reaser." He nodded to the two teenagers who were looking at him , "Barely considered a... freelancer at the moment."

Riise smiled gently, raised his hand and tapped the screen - the black screen slowly showed various spots of light, and after three seconds these colorful lights faded, revealing a man's face - "Finch, My partner." Reese laughed.

The man with black-rimmed glasses on the screen opened his mouth and paused for a while, then said, "Hello."

"Good evening, sir." Joshua nodded at him, looked up at the leisurely Riise, and asked straight-forward without the slightest politeness, "You asked me to meet because of that classmate, right? He frowned slightly and thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Eric...Is that his name? Please ask me to keep an eye on him. But..." Joshua pointed at the table with his fingers, looked at Riise and Looking at Finch who was drinking coffee slowly on the screen, "He looks like an ordinary person, there is nothing special about him."

"We have a machine," Finch nodded and put down the glass. Instead of directly answering Joshua's words, he folded his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and deliberately controlled the tone of his speech so that everything he said It sounds very important, "She can detect some bad things happening and get some information related to the crime. But she is too young to recognize the difference between the victim and the perpetrator."

Finch took out a psychiatrist appointment record with the picture of Eric Brown on it from under the table, and leaned back his neck, "This is the information she gave me."

Joshua raised his hand to support his chin, staring at the densely packed blurred characters on the screen, frowning slightly.

It sounds like the intelligence of this machine has reached a terrifying level.In other words, she is even monitoring everyone's every move, obtaining information from these actions and distinguishing them.

She is stealing personal information.

Joshua turned to Draco feeling a little displeased.The latter twirled the ring with great interest——If it’s true what Reese said, then the intelligence of the machine in his mouth may be comparable to that of Stark’s Jarvis——Dracoson He opened his hand, stretched his arm to the side, and grabbed Joshua's palm.

Riser watched Joshua, who was holding his head up, turn his head and stare at Draco 'angrily' because he lost his support, and coughed lightly before the two started flirting with each other. , Then looked around and laughed softly, "There are no superpowers here, right?" He raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and looked back and forth between the two young men with a friendly smile, "The people hiding in the dark , and did not wish to draw the attention of the authorities."

Joshua withdrew his gaze, looked left and right, and shook his head firmly.

Riise nodded, put down his wine glass and leaned back, put his left leg on his right leg leisurely, and said again in that sexy hoarse voice, "Besides Eric, I think you are more curious about why I found You?" He folded his hands on his knees, twirling his thumbs back and forth, and said unhurriedly after getting the attention of two pairs of eyes, "After the information of this cruise ship was displayed, it was the two list. After Finch’s comparison, we believe that you are the key figures in solving this cruise disaster.”

The personable former CIA agent raised his eyebrows, and had no doubts about the success of 'two high school students solving the cruise case that will shock the whole of America'—he looked around while talking, "What a beautiful night Isn't it? Lovers, relatives, mother and son..." He turned his head slowly, "So we found you." He looked directly at Draco, "This is the truth."

"That machine, told you our names?" Draco frowned, which was completely different from what he had imagined.He kneaded Joshua's fingers, "Are you so sure that we are the key to solving this accident?"

"Yes." Riser raised his hand to fill Joshua with juice, and raised his eyes and smiled when he heard the second part of Draco's words, his tone was full of complacency and sweetness, "Finch never makes mistakes."

……

This is the most beautiful sunset red that makes people speechless and even want to hold a torch.

"So... that student, is he in danger? Or is he a danger? Or can he solve the danger?" Joshua secretly rolled his eyes, trying to bring the subject back to the point.He leaned on the table with one arm, raised his eyebrows as if thinking of something else, leaned forward and asked, "Didn't she give you other names? Like Mary, Vido, etc. They are ours. The school's bully often bullies good students."

Joshua straightened his arms and leaned back, "Eric, I found out about it with the teacher of the information department today - he is an excellent student, but he doesn't like to talk very much."

Riser took an interesting look at Joshua and said, "Academic performance is not a yardstick to measure the difference between the two."

Thinking of those murderers who came from prestigious schools but committed major crimes, Joshua frowned and nodded in agreement, "I was wrong. I will go back and look at him." He had to take a good look, What was written in the text next to Eric, so as to prevent it from happening.

Riise smiled, raised his glass high, thanked Joshua, and said nothing else.

Joshua, who had made enough preparations, thought that the former agent would talk about joining their private organization when he specially asked him to meet, but in fact, Riise did not mention this matter throughout the whole process, which surprised him very much.

In fact, that Finch mentioned this matter before Riise left—inviting Joshua to join, as a member of the team who is not easy to start.But Reese thought Joshua was too young and rejected it.

The elders may always look at the younger generation with some strange love. Riser, who has no children and will never have children, always likes Joshua when he sees him - he looks carefree and cheerful. He is resolute and generous in doing things, which suits his appetite everywhere.This man, who could be a grandfather according to his age, discussed with his lover for another hour, and the invisible rich man hugged the ball that his dog son Xiaoxiong picked up from outside, and agreed with a displeased face——Joshua After dealing with Eric's affairs, they will not contact him again.Children of this age should worry about which college to go to every day, not which prisoner to catch.

So Joshua once again lost the opportunity to join a cool organization.

Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care if he had a 'salted fish' mentality.

The violin playing in the dining room came to an end, Riser clapped his hands following the crowd, looked at the person opposite and asked, "Do you need a list of all the guests on board?"

Joshua hesitated for a moment - it didn't make any difference to him whether he had the list or not, he himself had an upgraded version of the 'Global Population Identity System', but he still nodded and thanked, "It's troublesome. "

After a brief meeting, they bid farewell and left——

When the hatch was opened, the sea breeze covered people's heads and faces.Unprepared, Joshua was covered by the veil of the lady in front, and he hurriedly took it off and saw the lady standing on the deck blowing the sea breeze.She took off her hat and sunglasses, and the salty sea breeze blew her long hair into a ball in the air.There was a special smell vaguely in the air - not like the strong salty smell of the sea, but with a muffled smell - like the kind emitted by a piece of rotting meat in a closed space smell.

Nausea.

Joshua frowned, turned his head, and saw that Draco raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose feeling sick.He turned his head and carefully glanced at the 3D surrounding text beside the girl.

He still hasn't been able to figure out what's wrong with this inexplicable ability. When he saw the lady in the afternoon, the ability to read only one line suddenly turned into a dense personal life—— A large section of personal profile surrounds its description object, and the places that need to be focused are even marked with various colors.

Joshua, who felt that he was going to be blind, frowned tightly when he saw the line "parasites are parasites but anti-parasites, dangerous, need to pay attention to".

Parasites...

Goosebumps all over my body when I heard it.

Then I remembered the invasion of wireworms, the return of the living dead...

Joshua shook his body, lowered his head with his face sideways, and pulled the hem of Draco's clothes with his free hand, "I think..."

"No." Draco frowned, and tightened his grip on Joshua's palm, "Go back."

"Please, Draco." Joshua really couldn't ignore the line of 'two humans have been slaughtered' highlighted in purple. He drew a long tone, slightly bowed his body in front of his cohabitants and made a small crouch—anyway It's not the first time for him, and this set of movements is easy to come by.

"It's useless to act like a baby." The hard-hearted Draco shook his head, dragging Joshua forward, "Don't forget, you have already been rejected." Draco said, staring at him from the corner of his eye. in that direction—he wondered if the lady could still hear his conversation with Joshua, across a whole deck.

Joshua started to play tricks, holding Draco's arm and winking desperately at him, saying, "She thought we wanted to invite her...to some threesome party without knowing we already had each other," he snapped. After a pause—Draco stood still in an instant, raised his eyebrows and looked back at him—"I was the one who caused her misunderstanding, so we should go and apologize, right?" Joshua immediately said Said very quickly, "After all, I just think she looks a lot like that doctor of biology named Catherine. I saw her picture in Taylor's wallet."

Draco glanced at the woman who was still leaning against the railing and blowing the sea breeze, and clenched his mouth unhappily, but he was always unexpectedly patient with Joshua, let alone Joshua Ya even said those sweet words to please him.He turned his head to look at the sea for a while, counted the seagulls flying above to No.18, and turned his face, "Okay."

"Hello, ma'am." Joshua, who had agreed, wanted to rush to the deck immediately. He restrained himself and leaned over, pretending to be a bit cautious, "I'm Joshua." He didn't choose to lie to hide his name, Goodbye The lady didn't leave and continued, "I don't know if you know Taylor?"

Her eyebrows twitched.

Joshua chased after the victory and said, "I once saw your picture in Taylor's wallet." He said, "He said you are best friends."

She moved, turned her face slowly, and looked at Joshua with a complicated expression, "Best friend?"

Joshua looked at the ever-changing text, and said without changing his face, "Yes. He said that you like to study various creatures, and you are a fanatic of biological science..."

The young lady's complexion suddenly changed, her eyes became gloomy and she stared at Joshua, she didn't know which sentence offended her.

Draco frowned in displeasure, and stepped forward a few steps sideways to block her dangerous sight.

"Haney."

The tense atmosphere was broken by the glib male god, and a man in a casual suit came from the side with a smile and a wobble.He wobbled with his pockets in front of the three of them and stopped in front of the three. He first looked at Draco and Joshua, then naturally wrapped his arms around the woman's waist, and raised his chin and asked in a contemptuous tone, "Who are they?" He turned his head and looked at the woman lovingly, "Haney, are they rude to you?"

This figure and this face are really...

Unforgettable.

Draco calmly watched this unexpected person appear on the cruise ship, and Joshua's eyes flashed a bit of surprise but he quickly adjusted.

"Let's go." The cold and ugly voice spit out from the beautiful mouth, and she glanced at Joshua with obscure and complicated eyes-a flash of emotion that was completely different from before seemed to flash in the depths of her eyes, but the speed was too fast. Fast, so fast that Joshua wondered if he was wrong.She broke free from the man's embrace, and walked away quickly with her arms folded.

"Haney~" The short man showed a sad expression, and chased after her somewhat girlishly, "You're walking too fast, I'm about to lose track of you."

"Moriarty." Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared at the strange man's back, and waited for him to disappear around the corner before whispering, "Draco, we have to be careful with him." He turned his head, his face pale Seriousness never before, "He's the one with Voldemort," he paused, the seriousness on his face disappeared and he replaced it with a full face. "It's... a mess." Joshua pouted his mouth, rubbed his eyeballs with pain, and continued, "He is the partner of the 'Socket' in the ordinary world."

"And now, he's after the first Dark Lord locked in the tower."

"We have to call the headmaster to save his old lover."
