"Haha...hahahaha..." Unsub laughed so happily that he could only hear the laughter spread far away.

But the mood of the people who heard the laughter was not good at all.

"If you say my name right once, then everything will be as you wish. On the contrary, if you don't say my name right, then I need to die a few people to comfort my mood." The voice changed from gentle to deep, Unsub's mood has been ups and downs, and the joy just now turned into moodiness again.

Alina looked at the numbers on the screen silently. After the bloody numbers were reset to zero, the countdown started again from 30:00:00. She didn't intend to take risks, and there was still time.

Everyone in BAU watched Alina's reaction nervously, and was relieved to see that she remained calm and did not speak.

The busiest one right now is of course Garcia. She has been deciphering the source of the real-time updated video from the front, but the investigation of the source that has been manipulated is not going well. There will always be [-] sources, and Garcia can only decrypt one at a time. , if it is not the real source, the next decryption will be taken from those fifty, so repeated attempts, each decryption will take time.

Although Garcia might have found the correct address right away.

But there are as many as 50 candidates, and in terms of probability, it is impossible for Garcia to find the address in a short time.

Fortunately, the Felix Elixir just solved this problem, and the luck value was instantly filled up after Garcia drank that small drop of Felix Elixir that could not be tasted.

The decryption program was chasing the correct address for Garcia's intuition. If Garcia's premonition was true, after a few minutes of decryption countdown, Garcia would be able to find out where the unsub and the hostages were.

Watching the computer automatically decrypt the address, there was no other voice coming from Elina's side.

Garcia, who was waiting for the result, was a little distracted.

It wasn't the first time she thanked Alina for her special approach.

In fact, many times, people forget that Alina is a wizard, because she is just like everyone else, nothing special, just an ordinary human way of life.

Only when something special happened, Garcia would remember that Alina was different.

She has magic or potions that everyone can't think of, and can often solve unsolvable problems.

The liquid that once surprised everyone and made people only tell the truth is now the golden liquid that I drink by myself.

It seems that Alina has many ways that people don't know and can't think of to achieve various goals, but she is usually the good girl who pours coffee by herself and brings everyone a cup.

What's more, Garcia felt that Alina had saved her and everyone else, so Alina was the one who gave her a sense of security. With her around, desperate situations seemed to be able to find a way out.

Although in most cases, Elina is an ordinary team member, inconspicuous.

But the occasional show of power is enough to make people remember.

Garcia remembered asking Alina, people with or without magic should have a different way of life, why is Elina the same as everyone?

How did Alina answer?

She said: "At first I was always a little uncomfortable, but look at me now, don't I adapt well? Being in the crowd, acting with everyone, I have a sense of security. I used to force myself for this sense of security. I changed my habits, and now I am used to this kind of life.”

Many times, Garcia felt depressed when listening to Alina's stories about her. Even though Elina's expression was calm, Garcia would feel that the sky outside the window was cloudy.

Garcia's mind was thinking about these chaotic memories in bits and pieces, like data being processed, flashed quickly, but passed by in a flash.

At the same time, everyone in BAU was anxiously waiting but unable to help.

Hozner deduced that the liquid that Elina asked Garcia to drink was helpful to the current situation. He saw that Elina drank the same liquid in front of him, and felt that there would be a breakthrough soon. Finish.

In fact, this kind of situation seems to be intentional by Unsub. He knows BAU's capabilities very well, so he doesn't give information, doesn't give time, and doesn't even welcome people other than Elina to communicate with him.

Of course, these unsubs did not explain, but his attitude, narcissistic personality disorder plus antisocial personality disorder, all his delusions are based on the goal of Alina, and the intervention of others will destroy his delusions.

Destroying his delusions, the consequences are uncontrollable.

Everyone knows this, so Alina is the only one facing the unsub. What they can do is to support her and give her limited help.

Fortunately Alina has been doing well.

When Alina was dealing with the unsub, BAU, which was short of staff, also integrated the existing information, trying to make a profile of the unsub.

"If we can find where Rhett and the others are, we should be able to rescue them. Although the incident this time is a big mess, the main thing is that we are well prepared. Seriously, we don't need many people. I Seeing that all the hostages are together is also the reason." Emily is quite optimistic about the current situation. According to the current situation, as long as the location is found, the possibility of rescuing the hostages is very high.

"According to the delusion of narcissistic personality and antisocial personality, his possessive desire for Elina will not allow other people to intervene in his actions, so he is very likely to act alone now, even if he We have to find some helpers. So Emily is right, we still have hope." Rossi analyzed calmly.

"From the perspective of personality, this is the case, but with so many people kidnapped this time, it is very risky to control it alone. Should we consider that there are many helpers on the scene? Also, his plan is so full, I am very worried about him. There is a backup." Morgan couldn't let go of the worries in his heart, and felt that there would be danger after finding Reid.

"It's dangerous no matter what, and Morgan's worry is also justified. If you get to the scene, you must be careful. This is a planned crime, and the criminal may be very well prepared. In order to achieve his original goal, there are people on the scene. The possibility of other dangers is not low. I must first determine what his purpose is, and there is no way to passively defend. Everything is safety first!" Hozner also had a frosty face, but the analysis was still very objective.

"What else is the purpose of this unsub? Isn't it Alina?" Emily asked incomprehensibly. She felt that what this unsub cared about was Alina's reaction.

"That's right, his target is Elina, and these hostages are his bargaining chips to make Elina obedient. For these chips, he will have his own plan." Rossi quickly understood what Hozina meant.

"That's right, if he wanted Alina's reaction, then when he couldn't control these hostages, he would probably choose to kill them in order to make Alina collapse and hate him. This is also better than letting Alina not know It would be much better if he didn't remember her coming. So we have to prevent this possibility from happening." Hochina thought very clearly, once someone died, especially Rhett or Brown, the possibility that Alina would not collapse very small.

Don't look at Alina who is still calm now, but it's because she is facing unsubs. After more than a year of BAU, Alina knows best how to react to such unsubs, so she avoids mentioning that she cares The first name of the person, in case this would irritate an unsub.

Alina also made herself more indifferent, she didn't dare to think about the possibility of failure, she only wanted to concentrate on saving these six people, at least the least, Rhett and Robert would be fine.

This is Elina's current thinking, and it is also the thinking she has kept since she came here. One is for the better effect of the Felician, and the other is that being timid at this time does not help.

Garcia's place is progressing well. Seeing that the address may be determined at any time, in order to save people, Hochina immediately asked Emily and Morgan to second people first. Garcia can start as soon as he finds the place where the hostages were kidnapped. Rescue is the most important thing. .

He and Rosie stayed with Elina. Although Elina's mood was stable now, the two older men knew that Elina couldn't afford someone to die in front of her because of her.

Alina is still silent, this is a few minutes of silence, very long and very short.

She looked at the three men in the lower row of the six grids on the screen. From the current video, she couldn't tell who was not in real-time video.

These three men are all in a sober state, and after the initial struggle, they are sitting steadily on the chairs, and their expressions are not very good.

It’s not obvious from the surface, but Elina’s intuition is that the unsub talking to her is the Jason Bledsoe on the lower left whose name she didn’t even remember.

Alina wrote down the name and gave it to Hozner.

Hozner looked at the name, looked at Alina, and left to call Garcia.

"Garcia, is the address still being checked?" Although Hozina's voice was still serious, it was a little low and tired.

"There will be a result soon. I have a hunch that this is the place we are looking for." Garcia's voice is not the usual excited look.

"Erina gave me a name, Jason Bledsoe, she should be suspicious of this person, to see if there is a relatively large building under his name, or if there is any expenditure for renting a large place recently. There is The address can also be compared with this person's information to see if there is any connection." Hozina did not respond with a sigh of relief when he heard Garcia's words.

When the hostages have not yet escaped, it is impossible for everyone's nerves to relax.

"Okay, within 5 minutes at most, I will find the correct address!" Garcia looked at the results of the continuous decryption, and she was equally anxious.

"Okay, Morgan and Emily are already preparing to leave, let us know the address immediately." Hozner quickly hung up the phone and went back to Alina.

When Hozina walked away, Unsub spoke again, still in high spirits, "Elina...my Elina...don't you guess? After thinking about it for so long...do you remember me? who is it……"

"I need to remember it well, I believe I can remember it." Alina's voice was very steady, all she had to do now was to delay the time, Alina thought.

She intuited that the owner of this voice was Jason Bledsoe, and now that Felicia was still effective, her guesses were likely to be true.

But answering correctly does not mean that the five hostages will be safe.

Alina is not that naive, if these five people are just tools for Unsub to remind himself who Unsub is, achieving his goal will only make those tools useless.

What a useless tool, there's no way this antisocial unsub could let them go.

Although he spoke very well and listened to her in everything, it seemed that as long as he guessed correctly, the other five people would be safe.

But both Elina and those who have a little understanding of this kind of people, such as other people in BAU, know that he can't keep his word. It is possible to destroy these tools so that Elina can remember him more deeply.

"Erina, even if you are trying to fool me, your voice is still so beautiful. We are definitely a good match, so think about it, and you must remember me... We will be together, beautiful together..." unsub He could hear Elina's perfunctory, but he was still so happy, it seemed that Elina's helplessness made him feel that he had won and was very happy.

At this time, Robert and Rhett, who had been silent on the computer monitor, seemed to wake up.

Alina noticed that although Robert had his eyes closed, there seemed to be movement in the hands tied behind the back of the chair, and Rhett had already opened his eyes to observe the current situation.

"Great! Great, everyone is awake, I'm really looking forward to what's next. Alina, if you had to choose someone between Rhett and Brown to die first, who would you choose?" Unsub also noticed The condition of the two hostages who had been unconscious.

"You said you would wait until the end of the next hour and a half, and now there are more than 20 minutes left." How could Alina really choose, she didn't follow the words of unsub.

"Then there will be an order at that time. Someone will die first, and someone will die later. Rhett or Brown, whoever will die first after 10 minutes, or... If you don't answer, I will let them meet together now God." Unsub knew about Alina's delay, and threatened immediately.

Alina's brows were tightly frowned. During the tense hour, she was concentrating on dealing with various situations. Now that she heard another question full of push, she felt her head began to ache, and her complexion became ugly. .
