"Personally, I don't think the word 'crazy' can fully describe his danger—" Han's voice lowered unconsciously, and the man lowered his eyes, pushing the photo of Joshua as a baby to other materials below.

"I don't need to say more, do I? We've seen what he's capable of."

"Yes."

Calvin nodded.

When recalling Joshua's special ability, he couldn't help but think of those men in the St. Mary's Church Hospital building whose eyes were particularly dull but whose hands were soaked in blood. Those doctors had just killed them The sick, but the terrible thing is not their atrocities at all, but their eyes.

Until now, once Calvin recalled those men looking at you, he would involuntarily shudder.

Immediately afterwards, he would recall the feeling when Joshua's thinking invaded his brain, like cold and wet hands fiddled with the soft and warm human brain bit by bit, and then found Calvin from the bottom of the gray-white protein mass The darkest and most ulterior part of my mind...

A strong sense of discomfort rushed straight up from Calvin's stomach, and a thin layer of sweat emerged from Calvin's back.

He felt as if he had thought of something, but the inspiration was as fast as a swimming fish, darting past his thoughts quickly.

In reality, however, Han's whispers continued.

"Yes, as we have always known, he was considered a complete failure for a long time. It was only because of the huge interest struggle within the Adventist faction that he was accepted as the 'Holy Son'." Pushing to the front..."

"As my substitute."

Calvin stared at the photo of Joshua on the table.

Was that madman really that evil and crazy in the very beginning?Calvin seemed to be able to hear a voice whispering in his heart.

No, no, he was just pushed into this by those people.

If Calvin hadn’t run away back then, but had continued to stay under Rosa’s care, in that horrible place of the Adventists, then he might be the Joshua of today... It’s very possible that he might compare Joshua Ya is even crazier.

Han accidentally met Calvin's gaze, and he subconsciously looked away, because Calvin's current appearance... made him feel a little scary.

"It may have been like this at the beginning, but the Adventists soon discovered that Joshua was not a very good puppet, and his appearance did not meet Rosa's requirements, even after plastic surgery... "

"It didn't take long for those guys to realize there were many other issues with Joshua than his looks..."

"In early puberty, Joshua had already developed a very rare power, which is called superpower by ordinary people. No one knew what happened, but suddenly one day, the Son of Joshua disappeared in the Adventist sect. Another puppet and vase."

Calvin was silent, he suddenly didn't want to continue listening.

He can already guess the subsequent development of those things.

kill.

Keep killing.

Build the throne of power with violence and blood.

……

At this moment, Han unexpectedly handed a medical report to Calvin.

"In many people's eyes, this ability is innate. But our people managed to dig out something else."

He said.

Calvin was waiting for him to continue, but Han was silently signaling Calvin to read on.

It was just a summary and record of routine medical cosmetic surgery, at least at first glance——

Accompanied by Rosa, Joshua, who was still a minor at the time, traveled to Brazil and had some prostheses implanted in his body at an unknown private plastic surgery hospital.His young age made this operation somewhat unusual, but considering that he had undergone many similar operations before this, it seemed that this time it was just an ordinary plastic surgery.

Calvin frowned, is it really just that?His gaze involuntarily stayed on certain lines of records, and then his face became more and more ugly.

Joshua's surgery seemed extraordinarily redundant, and it's hard to explain why he underwent it in any way.

If the operation record is true and credible, then Joshua had 4 ribs artificially removed...

Calvin knew that some female stars would use this method to obtain a slimmer waist, but it was already a very ancient aesthetic, and he couldn't see why such a young Joshua had to do this kind of surgery.But then something even weirder happened. It was clearly recorded in the records that after removing the original ribs, he put 4 new bone-like prostheses in his body.

"And here."

Han continued.

Calvin was looking at the text of the rib replacement, and another yellowed sheet of paper was overlaid on top of the previous record.It recorded a prosthesis implantation operation performed by Joshua eight months later, and a few bones were also taken out, and then put in again——

"I don't understand? This kind of operation is obviously meaningless, and it is impossible for ordinary plastic surgery hospitals to perform such a difficult bone replacement operation..."

Calvin murmured in bewilderment.

"Unless what they implanted in Joshua is not an ordinary prosthesis."

This time, it was Joyce who spoke instead of Han.

"You had the wing amputation shortly after being adopted by Dr. Holden, didn't you—"

Suddenly, Joyce changed the topic to a direction completely unrelated to Joshua.

"Hey man, what do you want to say?"

Isaac interrupted Joyce very unnaturally, Calvin looked at him, and was a little surprised to find that his brother looked like he had seen a ghost, looking extremely bad from the inside out.

The faces of the two members of the Holden family were as pale as death, and the look in their eyes was particularly panicked.

"Officer, we have agreed before that he has the right to know about this matter."

Han patted Joyce on the back, then he walked up to Isaac, stared straight into his eyes and said.

"what do you know?"

Hearing this, Calvin felt even worse, and the cold sweat on his back almost penetrated his shirt.

"Calvin, listen, you can duck out of the door a little bit, I think I should talk to Joyce and Han again—"

Isaac said hurriedly.

But Han didn't give him and Calvin a chance to escape.

"They put cartilage from the amputated pair of wings into your clone Joshua."

Han turned his head, and then calmly said to Calvin.

"He received the transplant very smoothly, without any rejection reaction that he should have, and shortly after the operation, Joshua appeared superpowers beyond ordinary people—"

Calvin looked at Han's lips, those syllables drilled into his ears word by word, but he had the illusion that he couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

"What Joshua is using now is your power. Although all this is difficult to explain with science, it is the only possibility. The pair of wings, no matter how it works, it just happened. , Joshua's transplanted wing bones failed to allow him to grow wings, but succeeded in stealing your special ability."

"It's a funny story."

It took a long time for Calvin to say these words dryly.

Joyce took out a few sheets of paper from the pile of materials and put them in front of Calvin - Calvin knew he shouldn't, but he still couldn't help lowering his head, and eagerly read those reports and experimental records... …

……

The long-term mental tension and fatigue surged through his body like a sudden tsunami. He wanted to scream, roar, or overturn the damn table in front of him, and make up all the nonsense on it. The indiscriminate nonsense is torn to pieces.

Calvin didn't even notice that the light in the basement was flickering at a completely abnormal frequency along with his mental shock and mood swings, and the hanging lampshade was shaking in the absence of wind. The four legs of the metal table that Joyce lugged home from a backyard auction for thirty dollars (it used to be a base for a mechanical machine tool) lifted slightly and then fell back down more as if pranked by an invisible ghost, There was a clicking sound on the floor.

"crunch--crunch--"

The deadbolt moaned in agony against the wall, as if invisible monsters prowled outside, squeezing the metal gate.And at the sofa in the corner, the blanket covering Moses' body was also slightly floating upwards under the control of invisible forces...

The power that had been completely annihilated in Calvin's body began to recover little by little, but this time, there was no other consciousness attached to it.

However, at this moment, Calvin was completely unaware of the series of anomalies that took place in the basement.

His eyes were very empty, and he was still staring straight at the piece of paper in his hand.His thin body was trembling.

As early as the very beginning, Han and Joyce had distanced themselves from Calvin without any trace. The two of them observed everything that happened around Calvin with a stern and serious attitude.The faces of both of them were slightly paler than before, probably because of mental tension, of course, it might also be because of the obvious cold breath—the temperature in the room dropped twenty degrees Fahrenheit almost instantly Spend.Calvin's wings stretched out unconsciously, and a faint blue-white halo penetrated outward from the inside of each feather, but it was difficult to find the self-luminescence of those feathers without looking carefully.

Calvin Holden looked like an ordinary, beautiful young man with wings before this.

But at this moment... he only has the breath of an "angel".

The masseter muscle next to Joyce's cheek became very obvious, he and Han exchanged a look, a secret consensus was reached purely by the tacit understanding between the two over the years, and no sound was made.
