Chapter 218 Two Invisible Men

Scott didn't have time to linger, took Thomas's hand and rushed to Pike's house.

"I'll tell you the specific situation on the way!"

Scott said hurriedly, he was worried that if he stayed for another minute, Cathy would be more likely to be in danger.

Thomas didn't refuse. He could see that Scott was really anxious this time.

When they came to the mirror of Parker's house, little Thomas almost knew the whole story.

Scott's eloquence can only be said to be average, especially when he is in a hurry, he speaks in confusion and rambles back and forth. Even Thomas Jr. has excellent understanding, it took him a while to figure things out. go through.

There is a criminal who uses the reverse world to commit crimes, and now threatens the safety of Scott's daughter.

"Scott, wait a minute!"

Having arrived near Pike's house, Thomas finally had a chance to interject.

"Have you figured it out? Is the other party relying on the reverse world or a simple mirror?"

"What do you mean?"

Scott was stunned. Is there any difference between the two?

Little Thomas sighed and said helplessly: "The difference is huge. Didn't you distinguish it carefully before?"

This means whether the opponent is a totem mutant or an ordinary mutant.

If it were Thomas Jr., the moment he became suspicious, he would launch an investigation and find out all the details.

But unfortunately, Scott didn't have this intention.

All he has is love for his daughter.

"You just said that only you can see the black mist on Pike's scar."

Little Thomas whispered, "But this only means that you are special, it does not mean that the other person has similar abilities to you."

After he finished speaking, he looked around.

"We are already here, but we haven't seen anyone in the reverse world. This either means that your daughter is safe for the time being, or that our previous guesses may be wrong."

Is that the case?

Scott admitted that Thomas had a point, but he just had a gut feeling.

The other party must be a totem mutant, and his judgment was correct.

If Thomas Jr. pays attention to evidence and reasoning, he is a logical player.

Then Scott is an intuitive player.

"I know you still have doubts in your mind."

Little Thomas made a suggestion, "How about this? You go back to the real world first and hide next to your daughter to protect her. I will stay in the reverse world and protect you secretly."

This suggestion was indeed good, and Scott nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment.

He stood up and was about to leave the reverse world, but Thomas suddenly stopped him.

"Be safe, Scott."

Thomas Jr. said, "If you really encounter any danger, run away if you can. There's no shame in that."

"Do not worry!"

Scott nodded and said.

If you want to run, you must take Cathy with you.

……

Scott returned to the real world and became as big as an ant. He rode Anthony to Cathy's room.

Cathy was fully nestled in the quilt, hugging the toy bear that Scott gave her tightly, quietly immersed in sleep.

Scott jumped off Anthony and landed in front of his daughter.

Looking at Cathy's angelic sleeping face, Scott felt his heart melt.

At this moment, he felt a trace of regret like never before.

If he had been more patient and not taught a lesson to the company that had a monopoly on ripping off customers, he would not have been sent to jail.

Cathy is probably still by her side.

He didn't need to be sneaky like this to see his daughter.

"Cathy..."

Scott whispered in his daughter's ear, "I will definitely protect you!"

"Um-"

Cathy frowned in her sleep, as if she was tickled by Scott's furtive whisper.

She stretched out her hand and slapped her ear.

Scott's eyes widened and he quickly shrank his head, narrowly avoiding his daughter's huge slap.

He was almost shot to death.

Scott breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cathy, still feeling scared.

It's better not to make any unnecessary moves, just quietly guard Cathy.

Scott lay down and rested on his daughter's pillow.

He held his head and looked at his sleeping daughter with tender eyes.

"Sleep well, my little princess."

Scott couldn't remember how long it had been since he slept with his daughter like this.

"When you wake up, everything will be fine."

……

In the reverse world, Thomas is constantly releasing palm-sized drones.

Although the technological level in his original world was also very strong, the development of the technological tree was in a slightly different direction compared to this world.

After coming to this world, little Thomas continued to learn and received a lot of inspiration.

Such as these drones.

"Using artificial intelligence to control the machine, and then controlling the artificial intelligence yourself, is indeed a good choice."

Little Thomas admires the person who thought of this method. That person seems to be called Tony Stark?

In this way, the computing power of the computer can be liberated, and the original mechanical and rigid program can be replaced by the code of conduct of artificial intelligence.

Who is better and who is worse between the two?

This is actually not easy to say.

But the latter is obviously more acceptable to the public. They certainly prefer artificial intelligence with humanistic care to a cold electronic program.

What's more, they will fall in love with artificial intelligence.

Although they know that what they love is nothing more than a program matrix composed of 0s and 1s, they still have no hesitation.

Now, Thomas Jr. has written his own artificial intelligence based on Tony's ideas.

He was named Afu.

The drones he has released now are controlled by Ah Fu.

"There's really no one to be found."

Little Thomas looked at the surveillance video sent back by the drone, which contained all the scenery of the reverse world around him.

There were no signs of any other life activity.

But this doesn't make Thomas feel at ease either.

"What if the other party can become invisible?"

He asked the drone to turn on the infrared detector and scan again.

This time nothing was found.

Could it be that Scott's reasoning was wrong and that the criminal actually had nothing to do with the Reversal World?

……

Scott was still looking at his daughter with a warm look on his face.

This feeling was really good, and he couldn't help but feel a little addicted.

However, at this moment, Anthony suddenly flew in front of him, flying continuously in the air, and his trajectory formed a pattern.

Although Anthony is now only the size of a normal ant, this does not mean that he is really just an ant.

Drawing patterns in the air to convey messages is a common habit among many insects.

But Scott had never heard of ants, and only Anthony could do such a thing.

Now, looking at the pattern Anthony drew in the air, Scott sat up suddenly.

He understood what Anthony meant.

This pattern represents the invasion of foreign enemies!

"Sure enough, it's still here?" Scott was glad that he was now guarding Cathy. Without thinking, he summoned Anthony to land, sat on his back, and flew towards the intruder.

Anyone who dares to covet his daughter will have to pay the price!

He was quickly taken to the living room by Anthony.

At this time, the living room was empty and fell into the silence of the night. The sound of Anthony flapping his wings seemed a bit harsh in it.

Scott glanced around and saw nothing.

There were no intruders.

But Anthony's performance cannot be faked.

"Could it be!"

Scott took a breath, could it be an invisible enemy! ?

No wonder the other party can kidnap so many women without being caught. How can an invisible kidnapper be discovered!

Scott directed Anthony to land on top of the refrigerator and retract his wings.

As soon as the sound of flapping wings disappeared around him, Scott's ears immediately became clear.

A sound that he had not noticed before reached his ears at this time.

Those were extremely subtle, tiptoeing footsteps, an echo that was difficult to detect in this living room.

But if you look carefully, you can't see anyone.

"Is he really the invisible man?"

Scott felt dizzy for a while. If the other party could become invisible, that would be a big problem.

He had already anticipated a situation.

Unable to determine the whereabouts of the other party, he could only deliberately return to normal size and make a lot of noise in the living room, hoping to wake up both Parker and Maggie and arouse alertness.

But they couldn't see the criminal, they could only see him breaking into people's houses.

And he couldn't explain everything clearly, so in the end he had to be sent to the police station.

Even if Maggie didn't call the police for Cathy's sake, the image she had finally rebuilt now would collapse.

It will be even more difficult to see my daughter in the future.

It has to be said that Scott's brain circuit is very strange. In the current situation, the first thing he thinks of is to try not to destroy everything he has now.

He wants to protect Cathy, but also Maggie and Parker.

But he was not aware enough and was unwilling to pay the price.

This resulted in his actions being somewhat restrained.

Now, the inaudible footsteps were still echoing in the living room, and Scott could tell that the other party had arrived near the stairs.

As long as you go to the second floor, it will be Cathy's bedroom.

"The moment he steps on the stairs, rush!"

Scott was ready, and Anthony arched his body, ready to fire like a cannonball.

The stairs and the floor are made of different materials, so there will naturally be a difference in the sound of footsteps.

This was the moment Scott had been waiting for.

Use this to determine the opponent's position.

Finally, at a certain moment, Scott finally heard a crunching sound.

It was the sound of stepping on the wooden stairs.

"rush!"

Anthony fired suddenly, like a bullet, hitting the stairs.

boom--

As if he hit an invisible wall, Anthony's whole body was suddenly bounced away.

It kept changing direction in the air and turned several times before finally stabilizing its body and hovering in mid-air.

Scott was also dizzy, feeling like there were countless little stars spinning in circles in front of his eyes.

An inaudible curse reached Scott's ears.

"what's the situation?"

The other party gritted his teeth, obviously frightened by this turn of events.

Now the living room was dark, Anthony and Scott's bodies were too small, and the other party didn't notice them for a while.

When people make judgments, they are always limited by their own vision, and their thoughts will unconsciously turn to things they are familiar with.

For this criminal, when he loses sight of his enemy, the first thing he thinks of is that the opponent is also invisible.

He didn't expect that someone was deliberately squatting just to catch him.

He just thought it was two invisible men eyeing the same target at the same time.

Although this possibility is small, it is not impossible.

How to do?

The other party's movements stopped for a moment.

The appearance of another invisible man was something he had not expected.

Do you want to come up and say hello, or do something else?

After thinking for a long time, he made a decision.

"who are you?"

He lowered his voice and asked this sentence.

This question seemed to come from all directions, and finally fell into Scott's ears. It was impossible to judge the other party's location based on the voice of the voice.

who am I?

Scott covered his head, not understanding why the other party would ask such a question.

It was obvious that I was here to fight against him!

"My name is Paul Rudd."

Scott made up a name casually, "Who are you?"

The other person answered without even thinking: "I'm Tom Bruce."

"You fart!"

Scott almost laughed out loud, "Tom Bruce is an actor!"

The other party also mocked: "Isn't Paul Rudd also an actor?!"

Really?

Scott was stunned. He made up this name casually. He didn't expect such a person to exist.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Two people who could not see each other were caught in a strange and silent confrontation.

Scott has no combat experience, and in this situation, he has no idea what to do.

After thinking about it, he was going to find a few more topics to have a good chat with.

One is to extract more information, and the other is to buy Thomas a little more time.

He must have realized that he was in danger now and was heading here.

Just when Scott was about to speak, the other party suddenly spoke.

"How did you target this family?"

Ok?

Scott suddenly realized that the other party didn't seem to realize that he was protecting the family.

He seemed to think that the collision just now was caused by two invisible people just bumping into each other.

Did he think he had bad intentions?

"The family looks rich."

Scott made up a reason and said, "What about you? Why are you?"

"Hey, I can't tell you this."

crunch--

The sound of tiny footsteps came, and the other party was quietly going up the stairs.

"Since our purposes do not conflict, there is no need to waste each other's time."

The criminal said, "You can steal whatever you want, I'm going to do my thing."

He felt that he had done his best.

They are both invisible people and came to the same place at the same time. This can not but be said to be a kind of fate.

But the current scene made Scott extremely anxious.

What to do, the other party doesn't want to delay the time.

But now I can only listen to the footsteps and roughly judge the opponent's position.

Judging from the voice of the person just now, the other party can hide his location.

When he discovered that his footsteps revealed his location, Scott really couldn't find him!

Little Thomas, what are you doing?

Come here quickly!
