Two days later, Bruce Banner took the initiative to invite Rosen to his home for a drink. In addition to local beer, there were also some famous local side dishes. Regardless of whether they tasted good or not, they were quite unique.

When Rosen clinked glasses with Bruce Banner, he found a wound on his hand. He couldn't help but think of the reason why he was exposed in the original plot, and immediately asked: "When did you get the wound on your hand?"

"Today at work." Bruce Banner obviously thought of what Rosen was worried about, and said immediately: "Don't worry, although there was some bleeding, I deliberately wiped the blood that dripped onto the soda filling line."

"Are you sure you didn't miss anything?" Rosen said, tapping his finger on a small drop of beer that had accidentally fallen on the table.

With a slight snap, the beer splashed everywhere.

He looked up at Bruce Banner, whose face suddenly turned ugly, and said, "Blood is also liquid, it will splash everywhere."

Bruce Banner recalled the scene at that time, and the more he thought about it, the more unsure he became.

"I hope I'm not right. Otherwise, if something goes wrong and someone notices and tracks you down, Bruce, you'll be in trouble."

Rosen looked up at Bruce Banner and said, "For safety reasons, I suggest you be more careful for a while, especially at night. You should be more alert to avoid being caught without knowing what's going on."

"Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful."

For a period of time thereafter, Bruce Banner did become more vigilant.

But what he worried about did not happen.

I heard my fellow workers in the factory saying that things have not been peaceful in Brazil recently. There are shootings at any time of the day or night, and the victims are often notorious drug dealers or drug addicts. Although the police are trying their best to track them down, there is still no result.

It is said that the remaining drug dealers were unwilling to sit there and wait for death, and they actually joined forces to offer a huge reward. Anyone who could catch the murderer would receive a bonus of 10 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, a few days after the reward was issued, the murderer was still nowhere to be found, but many drug dealers died.

Fear has forced many drug dealers to shrink their forces, and some have even reduced their activities.

But this still did not change their fate of being killed.

Amid the panic, many drug traffickers even secretly fled Brazil and went to other countries to avoid the spotlight.

……

Bruce Banner just listened casually and didn't take it to heart. Naturally, he didn't guess that all this was done by Rosen, who had become his best friend.

Since his life has been relatively peaceful, and he would have a drink and chat with Rosen every now and then, which was enough to relieve his loneliness, he was far from being as lonely and anxious as in the original plot.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Bruce Banner gradually relaxed his tense nerves without realizing it.

...............................

Arlington, Virginia.

General Thaddeus Ross, who was handling official business, received an intelligence report from his assistant.

"This may be of interest to you, General Ross. We suspect gamma poisoning in Milwaukee."

"Someone drank a bottle of guarana soda and it turned out to be more potent than he thought."

Thaddeus Ross, who was originally nonchalant, suddenly stood up, looked at his assistant and asked, "Where is the soda bottled?"

"Puerto Ertu, Brazil."

"Send someone to the bottling plant to find a white man." Thaddeus Ross said calmly, "Hold still for now. If he sees him, he will run away."

...............................

One evening a few days later.

Rosen invited Bruce Banner to his home for a drink again, but when the food was ready, there was no good wine on the table.

"Didn't you say we were going to drink today?" Bruce Banner looked at Rosen in surprise and said with a smile, "If you forgot to buy some wine, I still have some at home. You can go get it now."

"There's something important going on today, so we can't drink." Rosen said as he turned on a classical-style radio next to him.

Then a mellow voice sounded from the radio speaker.

Just the slightly familiar voice and the not-so-friendly content made Bruce Banner's face change suddenly.

"This is the target and location. This is an arrest operation. We must capture them alive."

"You have to use tranquilizer guns, and you can only shoot when you have no other choice."

"The police will assist, but try not to alert the suspects."

"The target is a fugitive on the run from the U.S. government. He stole military secrets and is suspected of killing two scientists, an officer, an Idaho state trooper, and two Canadian hunters..."

Hearing this, Rosen looked at Bruce Banner and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you usually look gentle and polite, but you are so ruthless!"

"It's not me." Bruce Banner's voice suddenly became much louder, and he said excitedly: "I am innocent!"

"Don't get excited. I don't want you to overturn my desk." Rosen tapped the table with his fingers. The thudding sound calmed Bruce Banner down a little.

The slightly old but powerful voice on the radio continued: "...So don't wait for him to resist, anesthetize him and bring him back."

There was no more important information, so Rosen turned off the radio.

"How can your radio receive the military's internal channel?" Bruce Banner asked in surprise.

"If you want to ensure your safety at all times, you always need some extraordinary means." Rosen looked at Bruce Banner and said, "You just heard that the military is about to send someone to arrest you. What are you going to do?"

"I'm leaving now." Bruce Banner stood up and was about to leave.

"Where are you going to run away like a lost dog?" Rosen's voice came from behind. "Bruce, let me tell you an experience I have learned. As long as you keep running away, the situation you face will get worse and worse until you completely lose everything."

Bruce Banner remained silent, but stopped.

Rosen continued, "Last time you told me what the girl you liked was called, Betty Ross. It's a nice name. She must be a pretty girl. Can you tell me how long it has been since you last saw her? How long has it been since you last talked to her?" (Note)

"182 days."

"So, escaping is not the best way to solve the problem. Facing it and then solving it is the best way." Rosen said, "That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully before making a decision. If you need my help, come and find me."

Rosen glanced at the smartwatch on his wrist that was transformed from the symbiotic folding space and said, "You still have three hours to decide. Whether you want to escape or fight them head-on, you must make a decision as soon as possible."

"I will." Bruce Banner said and left Rosen's house.

"Noisy, keep a close eye on the movements of those people." Rosen tapped the radio beside him and said, "You must alert me when they appear ten kilometers away from here."

"Yes, Commander." Guazao agreed. Just when he was about to express his loyalty in his heart that was as surging as the rivers and seas, Rosen took the lead and turned the volume of the radio to the lowest.

Of course, the noisy bird can turn up the volume itself, but it doesn't dare to.

Note: Her real name is Elizabeth Talbot Ross, and her alias is Betty Ross.

In the plot, she is shown as Dr. Elizabeth Ross on the university bulletin board, but is often called Betty in dialogue. I used the latter.
