Chapter 176 The Victim's Substitute Doll and Compensation

"Before I became a photographer, I worked part-time as a bounty hunter."

In the bar, Ronan frankly faced the female agent of the Secret Service and the mixed race of blacks, speaking with a faint Texas accent: "I am a serious Texan, and I have been a Texas militiaman. Is the gun good? Is it normal?"

All of these are well documented. The reason why he used this identity to openly apply is because the Duke vest from Romania is relatively solid and complete.

The strong black man stood in the way and said: "We will investigate!" His face was already dark, and his voice was particularly loud, showing a very bad attitude: "Why are you here? Why is it such a coincidence!"

Luo Nanxin said, I also want to know why such a coincidence?

I just want to work hard, abide by the spirit of the contract, stand on the best post, and ask Miranda for help when I go back.

Who would have thought of encountering such crap?
In the past, Ronan would think that it was the book of disasters, but not this time, because he was chosen by Ping Qi to shoot here.

Ronan responded unceremoniously: "I want to ask, did your FBI make any mistakes!"

These people came over and used the FBI vest again, and he raised his voice: "Get it clear, I'm a victim! Almost died in this rotten place! What do you think of me? A prisoner? A murderer? I want to see my lawyer! I have notified Magazine, I won’t say anything until the magazine’s lawyers come over tomorrow morning!”

"Duke, don't get excited, you misunderstood us."

The speaker was an unusually tall woman, with a net height of more than 1.8 meters. Her shoulders were wide and her waist was round, and she was rather burly. She spoke with a smile: "We just understand the situation. You have seen the situation in Park Town. It is quite It's weird, many people died, my colleague is a little anxious, don't take it to heart."

While speaking, he winked at the half-black, who shut his mouth, turned his head and left the bar.

Ronan said directly: "I have told you everything I know, can you leave here now?"

The tall woman smiled and said, "Of course, this is your freedom."

My colleague, the cover girl, said when they met that after the telephone exchange was repaired, this person called the magazine in Los Angeles, and the magazine immediately rented a helicopter and dispatched a special person to deal with related matters in the morning.

More than a dozen people died in that magazine!
Magazines are part of larger media companies.

The meddling of the media is the most troublesome thing. This is the United States, or California where the leftists are rampant, not Iraq, and there are many scruples in doing things.

Ronan walked out, and when he passed by the tall woman, he stopped suddenly. He is Duke now, so he had to fit the personality: "Beautiful Miss Detective, can I know your name?"

The tall woman looked very kind: "I'm Jay."

Ronan asked directly: "Can I have the honor of getting your contact information?"

Jay said: "Sorry, our contact information is confidential."

"It's okay." Ronan smiled generously and left the bar.

It was already dark outside, Ping Qi stood under the street lamp, the light illuminated the bald head, and when he saw Ronan, he waved: "Duke."

Ronan walked over quickly and asked, "Are you all right?"

Ping Qi forced a smile: "It's okay, it's much better, let me tell you, don't be afraid of these FBIs!"

Although he was scared to death when facing voodoo zombies, for a social elite like him, he is not afraid of law enforcement agencies at all: "Our people will come over immediately! If they dare to do anything wrong! Let them look good!"

Ronan spread his hands: "We only did it to protect ourselves and did nothing else. What are we afraid of?"

Ping Qi patted Ronan's arm: "You're right!" He was very grateful to Ronan: "Thank you this time, otherwise I would have died in this town."

Ronan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk about the relationship between the two of us."

Carolina came out of another house and saw Ronan and Qiqi from a distance, so she hurried over to join them.

As if he didn't know her real identity, Ronan asked with concern: "Did you make things difficult for you?"

Carolina shook her head: "No." There was a Secret Service agent wearing an FBI vest not far away, and she deliberately said: "You know, I was a soldier and served on the front line in Iraq, and I specially gave it to my old comrades and old bosses. After making a phone call, they knew a lot of people and had a lot of contacts, so they got in touch here."

Ping Qi nodded again and again: "That's good! That's good!" He said with unconcealable sadness: "There are only three of us left, we survived the zombies, and we must return to Los Angeles intact. "

Performing a full set, Ronan stretched out his arms, hugged Pingqi, and then hugged Carolina, encouraging each other!
When embracing the latter, Carolina suddenly pressed her hands hard, and her body was tightly pressed against Ronan's body. Ronan could even feel that the two big lumps on Carolina's chest were deformed on his chest.

Carolina let go of Ronan and stood beside him.

Ronan glanced at her, and Carolina nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

Ping Qi said suddenly: "There are only three of us left."

Carolina told the truth: "We are too unlucky to come across voodoo in such a remote place."

Ping Qi took over the words: "It's all my fault! I was unlucky, and I got you all involved. This job is my next one. The theme of the shooting was finalized between me and the client. I also chose Park Town as the shooting location..."

Ronan patted him on the shoulder again, and said in relief, "Don't blame yourself, don't blame yourself for the fault of the voodoo sect."

Carolina said: "Go and rest for a while, the company staff is here, we will call you."

Ronan walked to the side of the road, opened the side door of the trailer, and let Pingqi in to rest.

Across the road, a car pulls up in front of the house Carolina came out of, and a man in a black combat uniform and a beret enters the house.

Carolina whispered: "He is Flynn, codenamed Huoshi, the commander of the Special Operations Team of the Special Affairs Bureau."

Ronan firmly remembered this appearance.

…………

The temporary headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau was set up in this house.

Flynn went in, opened a bottle of mineral water, drank half of the bottle in one breath, and asked Blake, "What's the matter?"

Blake is the information liaison officer, and said: "Heavy Cannon and Deckard led people to clean up all the houses in the town, and all the zombies trapped in the houses were killed. The technical team did a preliminary survey, and the voodoo people went down in the water plant." Zombie drug polluted the town's water source!"

Jay no longer smiled before, and said coldly: "How to settle the account of the voodoo sect?"

Flynn said to Blake: "Notify the general and wait for the general's instructions." He then asked, "Those two people from the fashion magazine?"

Jay replied: "We compared the words of the cover girl, Ping Qi and Duke, and they are roughly the same. The cover girl is a mage at the peak of the first order, proficient in spells, strong in body, and skilled in marksmanship. She led the Texas militia Duke, popped out of the bar, got a gun at the police station, cleaned up most of the zombies, and used the local police AR-15 to kill the voodoo cultist, a black man."

She looked at Flynn: "The cover girl is recruited and assessed by you, how is she?"

Flynn said simply: "She participated in the Iraq War, went to the front line, performed well, and was a patriot. She was also a survivor of that tragedy. During that time, she rescued several team members and protected them waiting for reinforcements. An absolutely outstanding soldiers."

For the cover girl, he has enough confidence, which is based on a series of evaluations in the past: "Last month, she received training from the Special Affairs Bureau at the Pendleton base and received the highest evaluation profile."

Jay said: "With her ability, it is not difficult to deal with these voodoo zombies without IQ."

Flynn added: "I went to the scene to see that they set up flame traps at the police station and the three-way intersection, using gasoline and oil barrels as weapons, blowing up and burning a large number of voodoo zombies to death."

Jay and Flynn have seen voodoo zombies. Ordinary voodoo zombies have no brains, no voodoo cult personnel to control them, no intelligence at all, only bloodthirsty instincts.

Blake's laptop rang, he opened it, took a look, and said, "There are replies from both Texas and Seattle. Duke is indeed a man. He joined the militia, briefly worked as a bounty hunter on the border, and has always been a freelancer. Pingqi was born in a businessman family in Seattle, his parents have retired and live in an upscale retirement community in Seattle, and he himself has worked in the fashion industry for many years."

Flynn and Jay come over to read the e-mail, which has a photo.

Jay said: "That's right, the photo is consistent with the real person. I have carefully observed Duke and Qiqi. They are real faces and have never used a knife."

Blake asked: "How to deal with these two people? The cover girl said that the people from the magazine and the lawyer will come by helicopter tomorrow morning."

Flynn quickly made a decision: "Let them sign a non-disclosure agreement! I will tell Cover Girl to monitor Duke and Qi, and report immediately if they have any changes."

It was a safe bet, Jay and Blake both agreed.

Secret agents who hide their identities quietly monitor them. If they really have problems, they will show their feet sooner or later.

Later, people came in to report one after another, especially the technical surveyors.

Judging from the preliminary results, this is an accidental event.

The people at the magazine were pretty unlucky.

If it wasn't for the cover girl, the entire team of the magazine might be wiped out.

Flynn took another opportunity to inform Carolina and let her spy on Ronan and Qiqi.

Carolina felt a sense of mess, but she responded with her usual expression: "I will take more jobs related to the magazine."

Flynn added: "If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

"Yes!" Carolina accepted the order.

Coming out of the room, she walked towards the trailer, where she will temporarily live tonight.

The nearby houses all stink of voodoo zombies, and no one wants to live in them.

…………

Early the next morning, people from the magazine and lawyers rushed over and started negotiations with the Special Affairs Bureau under the banner of the FBI. Afterwards, Ronan and Qi Qi signed a non-disclosure agreement.

You can take a helicopter when you go back, but only three of the filming crew survived, and the magazine still has business to deal with, so it will take a while before we can leave.

Ping Qi assisted in handling it, Ronan and Carolina were fine, and found a quiet place to wait.

Ronan remembered the ability he had just obtained, and took out a set of carving knives he got from Virginia Manor, and prepared to carve a voodoo doll double!
Raw materials for carving voodoo dolls need to be rich in magic or spirituality.

At the Virginia Manor, in addition to Tony Virginia's carving knife, Ronan also got some obsidian.

This thing is not expensive, and it is essentially glass. Ronan took some away at the time, thinking that he would practice carving when he had time, but he was busy with many things, so he quickly forgot about it.

Now, it's time to pick it up.

Ronan took out a few pieces of obsidian, and facing Carolina, a ready-made mage, asked her to help: "These stones have magic power?"

Carolina rested her chin on one hand, and was staring at Ronan. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she felt. Without taking her eyes off Ronan, she stretched out a hand, touched the obsidian all over, and said, "They are all ordinary stones."

She finally turned her gaze away and landed on the carving knife on the table: "Do you know how to carve?"

Ronan replied casually: "A little bit."

Carolina stood up abruptly, raised her chest, retracted her abdomen and raised her buttocks: "I'll be a model for you?"

Ronan frowned, feeling that this cover girl had been abnormal since last night.

Ignoring her, the consciousness was immersed in the badge space, and continued to search for other materials, and soon found the right one.

When the giant Nile crocodile was slaughtered in Mexico, a lot of crocodile bones were collected, especially the skull fragments at the edge, and many of them were put in the locker.

Ronan took out a piece of bone that was one finger long and two finger wide, and put it on the table: "Look at this."

Carolina sat down resentfully, looked carefully, touched it again, and confirmed: "Contains magic power, is this the bone of the magic movement?"

Ronan said, "Yes."

He spread a piece of cloth on the wooden table, held the skull fragment in one hand, and a carving knife in the other. Carving for the first time was more of an experiment.

The voodoo doll stand-in did not indicate that it was not for his own use. I remembered that in the valley, the voodoo witch and the bald head were protected.

Glancing at the opposite side, Carolina enjoyed the treatment of Jess and was treated as an experimental subject by Ronan.

With a mastery of carving, Ronan took Carolina as his prototype, and his spirit was immersed in the shadow of a vigorous knife. Under the hard and sharp carving knife, bone fragments rustled on the cloth, and his hands, feet, torso, mind and face gradually took shape, as if A whole new life blossoms.

Carolina's eyes were shining, and she just felt that the man opposite had an unspeakable charm. He was so focused and had a kind of self-confidence from the bottom of his heart, which attracted her to fall over there bit by bit.

Ronan felt a fiery breath and raised his head.

Carolina unconsciously said, "A man who is focused is so attractive!"

If Ronan realized something, he deliberately asked, "Where are the men who focus on gambling?"

Carolina laughed suddenly, half-jokingly: "As long as he is the winner."

Ronan handed her the bone voodoo doll in his hand, followed the relevant information instructions, and said, "Put a drop of blood on it."

Carolina Next, the sculpted doll was not polished and was a little rough, but judging from her body and face, it vaguely looked like her.

"A gift for me?" She bit her finger, dripping with blood.

The blood was quickly absorbed by the puppet, and the originally white bones quickly turned red, and even the surface became smooth.

Ronan picked up the carving knife, and before Carolina had time to react, he stabbed it!

Carolina was taken aback, the two of them were so close that there was no time to dodge.

The carving knife stabbed in front of her neck, but stopped suddenly, and there was a slight clicking sound from the puppet carved out of bones.

Ronan felt the most vividly, there was an inexplicable force standing in front of the knife, even flicking his knife and hand outward!
It was as if Carolina was wrapped in a transparent and elastic protective film!
Ronan was originally just for the experiment, so he immediately increased his strength and continued to stab forward, as if to overthrow Carolina!
The strength comparable to that of an adult brown bear suddenly exploded!
Click!Click!
A crack appeared on the neck of the voodoo doll, and it continued to expand!
Ronan's power is instantly withdrawn.

Carolina looked at the carving knife that Ronan took back, then at the bone doll in his hand, and immediately realized: "Can it protect me?"

Of course, Ronan would not be so stupid as to say that he was using her as an experiment, he said nonsense: "The double doll, I improved it on the basis of the voodoo doll, which can resist a certain degree of damage for the holder. You take it with you."

The little bit of finger exposed, combined with some kind of ineffable ability, made Carolina elated, and clenched the bone doll: "This is the best gift I have ever received!"

Looking down, there was an obvious crack on the puppet's neck: "Unfortunately, it's broken."

Ronan took out another bone and quickly sculpted it. He was skillful, and the appearance of the stand-in voodoo doll didn't need to be so exquisite, so he carved it quickly and handed it to Carolina. At the same time, he reminded: "This thing is used to guard against sneak attacks. Take it as a credence."

Carolina squeezed out blood from her fingers, and then dripped on the bone doll: "I understand."

She planned to go back and find a chain to tie it on and hang it around her neck as a trump card to save her life.

Ronan continued to carve, and carved three more in a row, dripped with his own blood, and put them away with him.

Then, put away all the bone meal, wrap it in cloth and put it in the badge space, and flush the toilet or throw it into the sea when you go back.

Someone came to inform that the helicopter was preparing to return.

The two came to the most spacious place in the town, joined Pingqi, and returned by helicopter.

The plane took off and flew towards the west. Through the porthole, Ronan suddenly saw many red balloons flying up in the distance behind.
The balloon floated in the air, faintly forming a line of characters, which Ronan roughly recognized.

"Despair and death!"

Suddenly, the balloons burst at the same time and drifted towards the waterfall pool on the mountain with the wind.

Ronan turned on his Spirit Vision, but still didn't see anything, and focused on the helicopter at the same time!
The plane flew farther and farther, and Park Town quickly disappeared.

There was no accident. The devil in the pool seemed to be saying goodbye to them in this special way.

Ronan deliberately ignored the devil, and stayed away from the pool if not necessary.

If the devil is dishonest, something will happen...

Laomei's 911 calls are not vegetarian!
Not to mention the Secret Affairs Bureau and the church!
After safely returning to Los Angeles, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ping Qi, who felt like a human again.

Miranda came to the airport on the roof in person, saw the only three people left, their faces were no longer as cold and sharp as before, and said, "Go back and rest early."

Pingqi has ten thousand words to say: "Editor-in-Chief!"

Miranda's expression changed instantly: "Take a day off tomorrow and go to work the day after tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, wearing Prada and stepping on high heels, he walked downstairs, leaving only a few strands of silver-white hair blown off by the wind.

The three went downstairs, and Miranda's assistant Andy was waiting for Pingqi at the door of the company, saying that Miranda wanted to talk to him alone.

Carolina's cell phone rang at this time, she went to the side and whispered a few words, then came back and whispered to Ronan: "A call from the Secret Service, General Hawke has arrived at Pendleton Base, and asked me to report on my duties and report the situation in detail. specific circumstances."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Go, send me a message if you need something."

Carolina hurried over and left the office building first.

Ronan was about to leave, and Pingqi came out at this time, and the two went downstairs together.

When we got downstairs, seeing Pingqi wanting to drive by himself, Ronan patted him on the shoulder: "I'll see you off."

Since yesterday, Ping Qi has been tossed a lot, his face is full of exhaustion, he did not refuse Ronan's kindness, and got into the Cadillac.

Ronan drove Ping Qi to North Hollywood first.

Pingqi took off his glasses, wiped them slowly with a lens cloth, and said, "Duke, I mentioned to Miranda about your going to Washington, this time you are a victim, and you are capable, the company's senior management should not If you refuse, they will give you an explanation."

Ronan explained: "Thank you for your intention."

"Don't thank me in a hurry, I will rely on you to help me in the future." Ping Qi's smile was full of exhaustion: "This matter needs to be taken care of, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. When holding a media meeting, I will voluntarily resign."

Ronan couldn't find the right words to comfort him for a while.

Strictly speaking, from the project to the theme to the shooting location, everything was chosen by Ping Qi, and he was not wronged as the first person in charge.

There is no place to reason when encountering the unlucky thing that the second-level voodoo priest of the voodoo religion was promoted.

Sending Ping Qi to his residence in North Hollywood, Ronan comforted him: "Sleep well, rest for a day, and you'll be fine."

Ping Qi got out of the car, stood at the door, leaned on the roof of the car, and said, "I'm fine, if I can't stay here, I'll go to New York, and I can always find a job."

Ronan waved his hands, waited for him to close the car door, drove away from North Hollywood, and soon returned to Beverly Hills.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a bird standing on a tree in the yard.

Ronan opened the window, and the raven bombs flew in, hooting around the house.

"That's right, I'm getting smarter." Ronan took out the meat and threw it to Raven: "I can fly back by myself, and I can assist in the battle. The meat I feed you is worth the fare."

During the fight with Mari Love, the bomb helped him take out a zombie cat.

After breakfast, thinking of the information he got from Mari Love, Ronan went to the safe house to change his disguise, let the raven bomb follow him in the sky, and drove to Watts Street.

I have been here once before. This is one of the slums in Los Angeles. The residents are basically black, and many of them believe in voodoo.

Normal voodoo is a public belief in many countries, such as Haiti and Benin, where voodoo basically belongs to the belief of the whole people, and it is not too much to say that it is the state religion.

But Mari-Love's voodoo, which has an ancient heritage, is not the same as the modern castrated version of voodoo.

Ronan walked around the Watts neighborhood and found out about the two most important buildings in the neighborhood.

They are the voodoo cathedral on the block avenue and the textile factory in the center of the block.

The former belongs to spiritual sustenance, and the latter provides jobs for many blacks.
