Psychological Control

Chapter 108

"Bryan, Bryan?..." Sophia tentatively approached Bryan, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and she pushed his shoulder, but got no response.With his head down, Brian seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes open, or sleepwalking.

Looking at Brian's appearance, Sophia showed a weird and ambiguous smile on her face. She squatted down to a position where she could look directly into Brian's eyes, and stretched out her hands to hold his face.This was also the last picture Brian saw before he passed out.Sophia's contorted smile and the ringing of a text message notifying him that the taxi had arrived at the door.

After confirming that Brian had really lost consciousness, Sophia walked out of the gate of the house without any tension and dismissed the taxi that Brian had called to pick him up and take him back to the hotel.Then she went back to the house and started to carry Bryan to the room that she was responsible for all the interior design, a secret room that even Abed didn't know about.

She first carried Brian onto the swivel chair that was rolled out from Abid's study, and then pushed Brian to the previous studio with the swivel chair.She searched Brian's body up and down, took out the cell phone that he had kept in his pocket for a long time, pulled out the battery and put it back in.

Then she lifted the silk fabric under the set where Brian had been lying on his side before, and there was a cellar entrance about the size of a well cover.The studio was previously designed as a platform for the outdoor garden, and before that there was a wine cellar for the owner's family to store wine.

Abid didn't know the existence of this cellar, because Sophia redid the layout of the whole house after completing the entire interior design, and the new drawings all deleted the existence of this cellar.

After prying open the small cellar door that was almost indistinguishable from the rest of the room floor, Sophia picked up Brian with some difficulty and dragged him off the swivel chair, then dragged him to the entrance of the cellar and put his lower body down.She flicked Brian's long hair which was a little in the way, and finally threw the whole body down.

In the cellar, which seems to be flickering with dim lights, because it was previously designed as a wine cellar for storing red wine, the ventilation system and temperature controller are complete, and it is not stuffy and humid.There was a muffled sound when Brian's body fell to the ground. Sophia glanced at it indifferently, then turned around and pushed the swivel chair back to Abid's study.

Then she rubbed her hands happily and returned to the studio, took the semi-finished oil painting off the easel, rolled it up and the carrier climbed into the entrance of the cellar with her.The ladder was not too high, but Sofia landed on the ground two meters away.Then she leaned the painting against the ladder, bent down, lifted Brian under his arm, and dragged him into the back of the room.

...

"There seems to be a shot over there, and Brian hasn't moved for a while." On the other side, Dillon, who was supposed to stay in the hotel, was miraculously sitting in a police car of the Ladp Los Angeles Police Department. "I suspect that he is playing with himself as a bargaining chip again. We must rush over now."

Sitting in the driver's seat is Dillon's former comrade-in-arms, now a friend of a criminal policeman after retiring.The expression on his face was wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he said helplessly: "Man, although I don't know how your boyfriend got himself into the hands of a guy who might be a murder suspect. But we didn't search Ling is not allowed to break into the homes of civilians casually."

"So that's why I took the guy in the back seat." Dillon raised his hand and pointed back indifferently, only to see a nerd who looked thin and slender at best, with a nervous and nervous expression on his face. Blankly fiddled with the monitor Dillon had just handed to him.

That's right, this is the bau genius little doctor Rhett Spencer who was trapped on an isolated island in Fiji with Brian and Dillon for more than a month.In fact, Dillon didn't think of Rhett at the beginning. It wasn't until Brian insisted on going deep into the enemy camp and using himself as a bait to find out the truth that Dillon was desperate and thought of Brian's connections.

Because of his job, his friend can't help him protect Brian's safety without any scruples.But Brian's friend, Dr. Spencer, who has a magical background as an FBI agent, is not necessarily so.If necessary, he can apply for a search warrant several times faster than the police officers in the police station.

The headquarters of the FBI happened to be in Los Angeles, so it was so convenient for Dillon to call Little Doctor to help.And even if you don't apply for a search warrant, as long as the suspect is caught in the end, the fbi can play down the fact that they broke into a house without a search warrant if they wanted to.

Dillon's former comrade-in-arms looked like you really didn't cheat me, turned his head in surprise and said loudly: "Is he really an FBI agent? Or a field worker from the legendary bau team? Is there any mistake! He's the only one Body? I think I should be able to work as a criminal police officer for another 20 years..."

"...The point is not this, I think Brian didn't make any other preparations after drinking the glass of red wine that the suspect handed him, but really made himself dizzy." He was the FBI field agent's reaction to him afterwards, so he didn't care, but continued to focus on the key points in his hand.

He listened to the rubbing sound of the clothes in the earphones, shook his head helplessly, and then said to Di Lon and the criminal policeman: "Now he is probably being dragged away by that woman. I don't know where he can be taken. The locator told us that he didn't leave the house. So we can't act rashly right away, we must confirm that we have obtained tangible evidence before we can act."

"Let's go to the door of that house first, or we'll wait here, and it may be too late to rush there when the time comes. I didn't force him to go back to Miami, but it doesn't mean I'm willing to let him go deep into himself. Go fishing as bait." Dillon's furrowed brows showed his anger, "Regardless of whether or not the evidence is obtained in the end, his personal safety comes first."

"Listen to Bryan's response to us by going to the toilet, plus the address. It's a villa in the suburbs, the house should be quite big. He's only been to the living room and the studio. Who knows if there are any unknowns in it? The secret room." Reid hesitated and said, "Are you sure you don't need to call for backup? If she finds the monitor and locator on Brian..."

Dillon shook his head and said, "No, I installed the monitor and the locator at the place where his hair extensions are connected. So even if Brian took off his clothes before, it wouldn't have any effect on its work." Influence." Speaking of which, he frowned even tighter, it was obvious that Brian would probably feel better when he came back.

"Now that woman, after turning off Brian's cell phone, will probably feel at ease that he will have no other way to contact the outside world, so he will not be discovered. In addition, my friend and I are worth a group of ordinary policemen , so there is no need to make a big call to the backup to scare the snake, now I just want to bring Bryan back as soon as possible."

After speaking, Dillon waved his hand to signal his ex-comrades to drive over quickly, and Reid continued his monitoring task with complicated emotions, knowing what happened to the comatose Brian in real time.Before meeting Brian, he was a good baby who rarely did anything out of the ordinary.

As a result, how long has it been now? Before a year, he participated in Survivor and appeared on TV in a magical way.Now it feels like they are accepting work in private again. Although they should be the party of justice, and they haven't done anything illegal in detail, why do they always feel guilty.

...

As for the unconscious Brian, after he was thrown out of the cellar by Sophia, he went to the room in the middle of the room, and randomly threw him on a sofa.Sophia began to hang up the semi-finished oil painting again, continued to complete the more detailed parts of her works in the cellar, and prepared for the final sacrificial ceremony.

"There should always be a story behind every handed down work. Originally, the last sacrifice of the blood sacrifice should have been Adam Sugarman, a child who has no relatives and is quite lonely. After all, it would be much more convenient to deal with the aftermath." Sophia said to herself Talking to himself, holding the oil painting in his hand, he walked into the depths of the cellar. The cellar was elegantly and noblely designed, and it didn't look like a cellar at all.

"It's a pity, he's good at everything, but he shouldn't have said anything to me about being emotional when he was playing Anil." Sophia walked step by step through a place designed like a small reception room, and was about to It's where Brian was dropped.With couches and suspicious-looking chains hanging from the ceiling.

Then she went around the screen of the reception room and came to the other end of the room.As soon as you walk around the screen, you can see that the three walls of this room are framed with oil paintings of the first six of the seven fallen angels, and the vacant space is obviously for the last Anil.

"Although we all know that it was just a joke, after all, Anil would not act so humble, and he was too much of a drama, which is unforgivable. In the end, I have to wrong you, Brian." She tweeted The screen separating the two rooms was opened, so that the place where Brian was and the oil painting Anil that was re-mounted on the wall were in the same space.

...

"Sacrifice of the blood sacrifice, is this enough confession? What is she going to do now?" The police car carrying Dillon and Red turned on the siren and sped along the road, when it was about the same distance from where Brian was. Dillon asked nervously when he heard what Sophia said through the monitor in Rhett's hand.

"Enough to upgrade her to a homicide suspect and open an investigation. But we still don't know where the Adam Sugerman you and Brian suspect is missing. We want to see the body. Hope to get there I can find enough clues in her house." Rhett answered Dillon's first question in the affirmative.

Then he hesitated and said: "I heard Brian's report before, he wanted to give up this round of temptation and wait for the next time, because he found that Sophia's painting was not completely completed. So we should not worry about Sophia's real painting. Do something to hurt him, at least her perfectionism paranoia will let her finish that painting first."

What Rhett, Dillon and even Brian in the "reception room" who is now unconscious in the cellar don't know is that the trace of Adam Sugarman they have been looking for is actually in the cellar!Behind the set of pictures of the seven fallen angels, there are small rooms that have been transformed into ice storages.

And in those rooms, apart from the model Adam Sugarman she had shared with Abid, among the victims under Sophia, there were six other corpses of models representing the other six fallen angels!It was frozen and well preserved in formalin, and it has been at least half a year since the death of the earliest victim!

The reason Brian and Dillon hadn't discovered this before was because the last painting of Anil, the fallen angel, was the only one where Sofia decided to share a model with Abed.The other oil painting models before were all chosen by Sophia according to the standard that no one would care to call the police even if they disappeared, and most of them came from chaotic places like slums.

Those models who escaped a catastrophe and eventually became hot supermodels in the fashion circle because of their cooperation with Abed, but they collaborated with Sofia on oil paintings of general themes.Although Abid and Sophia did have an impact on their mental state, it was better than the seven who died in the end.

For the works of Sophia's seven fallen angels, the selection of models is to find some amateurs and train them from scratch.Her ultimate goal is to infuse the characters of those models day by day, and finally become exactly the same as the characters of the angels they represent, before starting to paint.

In the play as a model representing the arrogant Sardakiel, she held him to a state of arrogance and then painted.A model representing a jealous Gabriel, with whom Sophia develops a 'real' relationship before faking a love affair to arouse her jealousy.

The same Samael who represents anger, Kafjar who represents laziness, Raphael who represents greed, and Michael who represents hypocrisy, she all operates in this way.Until Anil, who finally represented lust, she decided to choose a model who could linger between her and her titular husband, enough to seduce people.

It turned out that Adam Sugarman, of course, failed, acting more like a jealous Gabriel than a free-flowing playboy.That's why she chose Brian to be her model through Brian's performance in those reality shows.
