Seeing that no matter how hard he struggled, Eris decided to save some effort.Lincoln took her into the mountains.In the uninhabited nature, every tree looks so similar, every corner, every boulder, every moss, looks exactly the same, normal people will get dizzy and lost after a while in this environment direction, but Lincoln seems to be able to handle it with ease.

Before long, he threw Eris to the ground.

"Lesson one, survival." He crossed his arms and looked at Eris who got up from the ground very naturally, "Yesterday, in the same situation, if it was me, I would have been able to escape successfully, but you failed. I'm disappointed. I'll give you another chance now, and give you half an hour. Remember, don't just run away in a hurry, your physical strength is directly proportional to your speed, you have to learn to use the surrounding Everything. As a reminder, look, the early morning birds are especially plentiful, maybe you can find your breakfast there? Bare feet are not easy for you, maybe you should solve your foot injury first, similar to this plant, they can help You relieve the pain." Lincoln plucked a handful of greenery from the loose soil.

Eris stared at him oddly, as if to gauge the credibility of his words.

"Didn't you already know about my attempt to kidnap you two? Now, run, Eris."

Eris frowned and looked at him several times, and finally chose a completely opposite path from the way he came, and quickly flashed into the woods.Of course, she remembered the way she came here, she could go back the same way, walk to Lincoln's cabin, drive away his car, and spend a month safely in a place where he can't find him at all, but she didn't want to do that .

One month is enough for her to do many meaningful things. Do you think she will hide in a corner?Even if she wanted to, the system would never make it so easy for her.

From the initial killing game to the current survival game, masked killer and perverted killer, Eris played the former to death, while the latter... From the moment he decided to take her away, he was already arrested, and , Eris has long been sure that he will take her away.

Human emotions are so interesting, seemingly elusive, but actually so easy to control.

Under Eris' deliberation, the first lesson ended naturally with her failure.Then came the second lesson, the third lesson, and the fourth lesson...Eris is indeed a lunatic, but her body is still the standard of ordinary people. Her physical strength determines that she will only use brainpower or quick, accurate and ruthless methods to win others life.Sometimes, however, this approach doesn't work.

So rather than saying that Lincoln cultivated Eris, it is better to say that Eris used Lincoln's battle-tested combat knowledge to make himself stronger.

As time passed, Lincoln spent a lot of time with Eris. As for Emma, ​​except for two or three meals a day, she seemed to be forgotten by Lincoln in a corner.The treatment of Eris seems to be escalating day by day. I don’t know when it started. She was taken out of the small dark room by Lincoln, and she lived in a more normal room, with more changes of clothes, more normal meals, and even at the end. , There is more entertainment time for watching movies or shopping.

And Emma's attitude towards Eris has completely changed.She no longer regarded her as her friend, she looked at her eyes full of anger, ridicule and pity.She seems to think that Eris has started to compromise in order to survive, in other words, Stockholm Syndrome.

'Judge Edward Campari today granted parole to Wood Street murderer Nord Royce 12 years ago...'

'Governor Isaac Franstad's decision to build a dam on the Upper Eaton River, local residents protested...'

'The Lawrence Park car bombing remains unresolved, with Police Commissioner Felice Guerra claiming it was an accident, but sources reveal it was a terrorist attack by protesting Eaton residents...'

The whereabouts of the murderer of the Ward family tragedy is still unknown. It is reported that the real murderer sneaked into the villa at the beginning, hired a team of masked killers who had committed three murders, and took away the survivor Emma Ward. De and Eris Discotia.Detective Inspector Brianna, who is in charge of the case, is unwilling to disclose too much information...'

"It's time to start." Eris, who had changed his clothes and was about to start fighting training, said directly to Lincoln without even watching the TV.

Lincoln looked at Eris, who was wearing a sports vest, exposing the newly healed scar on his abdomen, and raised the corners of his mouth playfully. He turned off the TV and walked forward, with a strange tone in his tone: "...I still remember, when I'm in your body, that warm and tight feeling..."

As he said that, he was about to touch the scar with his hands, but Eris slapped off his paw mercilessly. "Don't think that a casual yellow accent can disturb my concentration." With a cold face, she exerted force on her feet, slightly lowered her body, turned sideways, arched her right arm, and quickly poked the tip of her elbow towards Lincoln's abdomen .

To her surprise, Lincoln didn't dodge, he took Eris firmly, and then took Eris into his arms, hugging her from behind.

"I'm serious. Fortunately, I didn't kill you." Lincoln's deep voice slowly rang in Eris' ear.

What responded to him was Eris' silence. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, and the two of them could even feel each other's heartbeat.

"Yeah... I hope you think so in the future too..." A moment later, Eris raised the corners of his mouth vaguely and attacked him again.

No, it's not Stockholm Syndrome, it's Tumbaur Syndrome, or Lima Syndrome.

Time to close the net, she thought.

When Lincoln returned from delivering Emma's meal, he didn't see Eris at the dinner table.There was only his dinner on the table, and it was obvious that she didn't wait for him, and started by herself first.

Lincoln raised his eyebrows. He went upstairs and opened the door of the guest room. There was no one in the room.His heart sank, he went back to the living room with a cold face, thought for a while, and walked out of the house again. After about 5 minutes, he came to the lake not far away. Well, he saw Eris.If he couldn't even find her here, he might have to start thinking about how to teach her a lesson.

Eris was sitting on the shore, holding an ice pack, compressing her red and swollen shoulders, and looking at the sparkling lake in the setting sun.Every time Lincoln is in class, he is serious. If she doesn't take it seriously, the end will be very bad. Although he has been much lighter recently, Eris, who is not good at hand-to-hand combat, will still be injured all over his body.

Lincoln came to her side, sat down, and stretched out his hand, beckoning Eris to hand him the ice pack.Eris glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and threw the ice pack directly into his hand.

"What's the matter?" Lincoln helped her rub his shoulders, "You didn't wait for me to have dinner today."

"Because I'm hungry, and you seem to be taking a little longer."

"I spend more time with you, Eris. You see, Emma can be like us if I tell her how to do it."

"And then? What's the point?"

"what?"

"You let me find another me, now, you are still trying to change Emma, ​​I want to know what will happen after you succeed, what will you do to her, what will you do to me, what is the point of your doing this? "

Eris said, stood up suddenly, and walked back to the cabin.

Her words seemed to make Lincoln a little distressed, and Lincoln didn't come to her until midnight.He easily entered Eris' room, stood by her bed, and said to Eris whose back was turned to him: "I know you are awake, I thought about what you said, so what do you want me to do?" ?”

Eris said nothing.

"...If you want, if it makes you happy, I can kill her and leave you alone...or a male target..."

Eris' silence answered him.

"Okay, you can take a day off tomorrow, and I will officially give Emma a practical lesson." Lincoln seemed a little helpless, he sighed, and walked out of the room.

The moment he closed the door, Eris smiled.

It is eleven o'clock in the evening, and there are still 24 hours before she leaves this world.

Early the next morning, Lincoln glanced at Eris, who was still asleep, and gently closed the door.He came to the hut next to the wooden house without holding anything in his hand.Just like the day he taught Eris for the first time, Lincoln dragged Emma out of the closed house and threw him into the forest. Seeing her fleeing back in a hurry, Lincoln couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Not enough, compared to Eris, he has no interest in Emma at all now, why did he take a fancy to this rich girl in the first place?

However, to his surprise, Emma avoided all the traps in the woods and reached the border safely, which Eris did not do.Looking at the footprints beside the trap, Lincoln frowned slightly. Could it be that this Emma... is hiding deeper than Eris?

In any case, he couldn't let her run like this anymore.Lincoln put away his leisurely attitude, locked on the target and traces, and quickly dodged to catch up.However, he was still a step too late. She had already run to the side of the road, holding a shard of glass in her hand, and a severed rope was lying not far behind her.

She stopped a car, the owner was a middle-aged woman, she was surprised to see Emma, ​​Emma cried and asked her to take her out of here.

Lincoln quickly took out his gun and was about to step forward when a police car suddenly came in front of Emma.

His eyes widened, and he quickly retreated behind a big tree.

Two policemen stepped out of the car, their expressions looked...very vigilant and serious. "Emma Ward?" one of them asked tentatively in an odd tone.

Emma didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing that the dark days of the past month had finally come to an end, hope was rekindled in her heart.She wept with joy, and was just about to meet the policemen who thought they were coming to rescue her, but saw the two policemen quickly drew their guns.

"Please stand still and throw away the weapon in your hand. Ms. Ward, please remain calm. We don't want you to hurt others or yourself." The policeman said seriously, his tone full of hostility and warning.

Emma froze in place, she didn't understand what happened: "No, wait, I... I'm..."

"Drop your weapons!" The police raised their voices, "Emma Ward, you have been arrested on suspicion of murdering 14 people, creating terrorist attacks, and endangering senior state government officials! Please give up resistance!"
