After receiving the task notice, Qiu Chengke sat on the bed and studied the map to think about the plan until dawn.

He didn't believe that there was nothing unusual in North Dakota, but after receiving the task [the boy's request], he became even more convinced that there must be a colossus hidden under the beautiful tranquility of the nameless town in North Dakota.

From the beginning of the chess game, they have been at a disadvantage. The white side has formulated rules and selected players. They know who the black side has, and arrange the positions of the white pieces. To white chess.

And Black is still figuring out the rules of the game, and he doesn't know who to trust.

Just like Antony, a knight fighting alone, can't find a black piece that can help him, they don't even know if all black pieces have been generated.

If the black cars and black elephants that haven't shown up yet are also in a situation of fighting alone, they may be in despair at any time, take Anthony's old path, be forced to become a serial murderer, and then be sent to prison by people from the same camp. prison.

From the current point of view, North Dakota is their best chance to come back, and it is very likely to be the only chance.

Qiu Chengke never thought that this chess game was a fair duel. Ryan was right. It was just a game played by the devil for entertainment. He made a rule with no guarantee at all, but the chess pieces took it seriously.

Qiu Chengke moved his body, packed his luggage and prepared to go to North Dakota. After hesitating for a few seconds, he called Reid. Reid's vague voice sounded on the phone. He should be eating breakfast, "Qiu Chengke? What's wrong?"

"I have something to do and I want to go on a long trip." Qiu Chengke tied up his hair, washed his face casually, turned out a hoodie and put it on, "Go to North Dakota, don't worry, nothing happens, I should be fine back."

"We will be able to obtain approval to conduct a cross-state investigation immediately." Several members of the BAU team played all night last night. Reid covered his head and turned on the speakerphone under Morgan's signal.

"You can walk with us in a few days, remember, you don't have to be a lone ranger like Anthony at all." Reid put down the knife and fork, and said worriedly.

Al, who was sitting next to him, frowned after hearing about North Dakota. She gestured for everyone to be quiet and listen carefully to what Qiu Chengke said.

Qiu Chengke packed Ritian and carried a backpack, "It doesn't work if a large force works together, remember Ryan, they went to North Dakota and found nothing unusual, but you and I both know there must be something wrong, you want If you want to investigate North Dakota, you must contact the local government and the police, and enter the other party’s territory with great fanfare, and they have enough time to hide the white chess.”

Morgan nodded in agreement. They are also aware of the problem. The situation in North Dakota is very strange. It is difficult to find the problem without a low-key investigation.

But the problem is that they are members of the FBI, and they are providing assistance to local government agencies, and they cannot act alone.

Moreover, after investigating the intelligence information, it needs to be submitted to the judiciary before it can be approved to carry out other actions.

There was no major case in North Dakota, and it was not easy to conduct a transcontinental investigation. After arriving there, it was impossible for them not to contact the local police.

Qiu Chengke held the phone between his hands, and added in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will update you every day, if I don't pass on the information for a week, then you should never come to North Dakota, the situation there is beyond your ability to handle. Now, contact Ryan to ask him to bring more armed personnel, if it really reaches this level, I will try my best to leave a code for you."

Reid didn't speak anymore, he was silent for a long time before he said, "I can't make this decision, I'm going to ask other people, this is not your personal game."

Qiu Chengke said yes, holding Ritian in his hands, put the packed luggage at the door, turned and left home, he knocked on the door of Grace's house, and whispered to Reid before the door opened, "Don't talk , Rhett."

Reid looked at the phone in confusion, pursed his lips and stiffened his body uncomfortably.

Grace's father opened the door. Seeing a flash of surprise on Qiu Chengke's face, he immediately put on a straight face with a look of boredom, and said with a beard and stare, "I've already said, don't bother Grace again. , she doesn't want to see you."

Grace's shout sounded in the room, "No, Qiu Chengke, don't listen to Dad! I want to see you!"

Rhett on the phone heard this, raised his chin at 1 Al, and said with his mouth, "Look, Grace!"

Al smiled helplessly, and said silently, "Okay, you win."

Qiu Chengke didn't know that besides Hu Qi and Gordon, all members of the BAU team gathered beside Red to listen to him.

One reason he came to Grace's house was to temporarily put Ri Tian here for foster care, and the other reason was because of Natalie.

Anthony told him that there were white knights around him, but there were not many people around Qiu Chengke. The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the little girl Natalie.

"You misunderstood. I didn't come to find Grace." Qiu Chengke handed Ri Tian who was sleeping straight on his legs, "I want to foster him with you, no! Wait! Put the gun down, let's talk about it, Don't get excited!"

Qiu Chengke hugged Ritian tightly, and smiled awkwardly at Grace's father, "I really need to go out for something, it's very important."

Natalie, who heard the voice, ran out of the room to take Ri Tian, ​​tilted her head and looked at Qiu Chengke, Qiu Chengke rubbed her head familiarly, and said to Grace's father, "I have a folder here, you know Gordon's phone number, if I don't come back in a month, you can find Gordon and give this to him."

After Qiu Chengke finished speaking, he paused, and said with a serious expression, "No one else knows that I handed it to you, and no one knows what's inside, agent, I ask you to swear not to peek at what's inside,"

Qiu Chengke glanced at Natalie who was standing on the side touching the sun, and added in a low voice, "This is a secret about chess."

Natalie still lowered her head and rubbed Ritian's ears, as if she couldn't understand what Qiu Chengke was saying.

Grace's father knew about chess. After he realized the seriousness of the matter and made sure that Qiu Chengke was not joking, he put away his gun and took the document, and said solemnly, "I know, I will also Promise not to peek at this file."

With a gloomy face, he approached Qiu Chengke and said in a calm voice, "Gris was killed by them and lost her legs. I have a different position and cannot participate in this case, but you can. Qiu Chengke avenges Grace, and don't let my daughter down."

Qiu Chengke thought his words were literal, so he nodded without staying any longer.

It wasn't until Qiu Chengke returned to his home that Grace's father closed the door, and he went upstairs to hide the folder. Natalie looked up at him as he went upstairs, then lowered her head and continued to grab Ritian's ear, Humming innocent and childlike nursery rhymes,

Sitting in a wheelchair beside her, Grace said curiously, "You always sing this song, it's really nice, where did you learn it?"

Natalie raised her head and smiled sweetly, "The priest of the church asked me to sing."

"Yeah, I never heard that when I went to church, but it's really nice."

"That's right, I think so too." Natalie tilted her head and continued to sing, "The angel came to the land of the Indians, she brought a sacred song, under her singing, the world is equal, there is no disease and no injustice... "

Grace looked at Natalie tenderly, and continued to pick up the wool in her hands, knitting the scarf she was going to give to Qiu Chengke at Christmas.

"Red, did you hear that?" Qiu Chengke took a taxi nearby with his travel bag on his back, "Natalie was by my side when I handed over the folder, if something happens to Grace's house during this month, Natalie is the White Knight."

Rhett was silent for a moment, and replied, "Okay, I see, you have already set off now, haven't you?"

"Ah."

"Okay, we will prepare the procedures for you." Reid looked at Garcia, who was typing on the keyboard quickly, and he continued to say to Qiu Chengke

"Since you are sure to go, and you do have enough ability to protect yourself, we will fully cooperate with your actions. At nine o'clock, the CIA will have a special flight to St. John's, North Dakota. We have negotiated with them, you Following them can save a lot of time, they will prepare a set of equipment for you on the plane, and you can act after you equip it, it is not a particularly good thing, but a military dagger is always more lethal than your fruit knife.”

After Rhett finished speaking, he hesitated for a few seconds and continued, "We will prepare a few micro-locators for you inside, you open one and wear it on your body, and keep in touch at any time. If you have no news for three days, or the tracking signal is interrupted, we will Go to North Dakota."

Qiu Chengke smacked his lips and told the driver to change the way, he knew he was going to wear those little things again, "Okay, I will."

After Qiu Chengke hung up the phone, the BAU team immediately returned to the headquarters to discuss strategies.

Anthony was out of danger. After he woke up, he clamored to see the black in the ward, and Gordon threw Ryan, who was also a black knight, to him to calm him down.

After Qiu Chengke arrived in North Dakota and found the unnamed town according to Ryan's map, he opened the tracker as agreed.

For a week, Reid could receive a call from Qiu Chengke every day at eight o'clock in the evening.

"Ryan is right. This should be a nice and peaceful town." Qiu Chengke's voice was very flat, and he didn't sound like he was in any danger. I’ve been here for a while with my identity, you know, no one should recognize me for the time being, but it’s a bit strange here.”

"Where?" Gordon asked beside him.

"There are a lot of deformities here, although they are all easy to get along with, but..." Qiu Chengke paused, he seemed to be struggling with how to say "I don't like this place, Rhett, I don't know why, since I entered this town, I have It was overwhelming, I felt like I had to get out, my nerves were on edge, and even though I was sitting in the house with the doors and windows locked, I still felt the danger was around me."

The next day, Qiu Chengke didn't call him, only a few text messages, 'I found a bloody ID in the woods, there was a child crying in the cabin, I'll go and see. '

'There are dead people here, I can't make a sound, there are many people below, I'm on the roof, no one has found me for the time being. '

The BAU team was guarding Rhett's cell phone. That night, Qiu Chengke sent another text message, "This town is crazy, don't come here."

Garcia, who had been sitting in front of the computer, suddenly said loudly, "I can't get in touch with Qiu Chengke."

Reid hurried over, and on the computer screen, the dot representing Qiu Chengke disappeared.
