Black friday

There is a string of wind chimes on the drawing paper.

The long, curved wind chimes look like the bones of some animals that have been bleached. The not-so-white white has a smoky burnt yellow.

This is the first act. Clement deconstructed a piece of paper on which he drew two drawings, and in the second act he pieced together the curved wind chimes into perfect ribs, neat rows of ribs that wrap around the human ribcage - only the right side of.

"It's a pity that Spencer is not here." Clement said: "Spencer will ask me what the meaning of this painting is. He will read books on the art side to learn how to appreciate paintings, and then actively participate in my entertainment games."

There was a smile on the corner of Clement's lips, his lips were thin and extremely pale.His pupils turned into bottomless black at some point, and even the light that fell into his pupils was sucked away from all the brilliance.

Clement closed his eyes and opened them again, but what he saw was not a warehouse whose layout he knew by heart, but a strange house and a woman whom he had only met a few times.

The woman with wavy hair doesn't look very young, and at a glance, it can be seen that she must be at least thirty. Clement's eyes were even more poisonous. He saw the well-modified fine lines around the corners of the woman's eyes, and saw the well-maintained neck lines on the other's neck. More importantly, Clement knew the other's identity—she was brought by Gideon. His girlfriend at the exhibition.

Clement saw her open a bottle of red wine, arrange the wine bottle and goblet together, and light a match, as if preparing for a romantic candlelight dinner.

But before the fire continued to burn, she turned her head and looked in another direction.

Clement's state at this time is very strange and mysterious. To that lady, his existence is equivalent to a camera with a God's perspective. He can see all the pictures clearly, but the main body cannot be moved or rotated, and he can only stay in one place. Looking at the overall situation outside the blind spot in the corner.The blind spot was in the back, and Clement guessed it was the wall - or something like a closet.

Because BAU agents don’t need to look good when they travel, and Agent Gideon is not a person who pays attention to dressing in daily life, so when he receives a badge that perfectly suits his heart, he has almost no chance to wear it on his body, but It is also unlikely that it will be shelved and only used as a "clutter" that does not know whether it is useful or not.

Gideon wouldn't do that. Gideon would only place the Griffin badge generously on the wall cabinet or bookcase, and take a look at it and so many other collections of his every day when his eyes are tired after reading the archives.

A lady with black curly hair, it's a bit rude to say that, Clement recalled, remembering that Gideon had introduced his name as Sarah.

Sarah opened the door, and there was a middle-aged and elderly man outside the door, wearing a shirt and trousers, looking like a dog and polite.

He put down his hand to ring the doorbell and asked Sarah, "Is Jason at home?"

Sarah didn't know him, but Sarah didn't know much about Gideon's social circle, so she smiled politely and said, "He hasn't come back yet."

"My name is Frank." The man also stood at the door, glanced around the room, and said with a smile, "Did I bother you? In fact, I didn't make an appointment with Jason when I was looking for him."

Sarah was unprepared, and said: "We have an appointment, if you are in a hurry, you can..."

She opened the door and led the man in.

Sarah turned her back to the man when the door was closed, and when Sarah turned her head and was about to say something to him, the man held something in his hand and stabbed her.

"Bong."

Clement's voice in the warehouse merged with the unknown bang and bang in Gideon's house.It is vividly said that it is a kind of sound mixed with the sound of the balloon being pierced, twitching and leaking, and the clanging of Big Ben.

A cloud of red smoke exploded in front of Sarah and the strange man. Sarah was startled by the man who suddenly appeared behind her, and then she was also shocked by the smoke—swirling like a funnel, thick, and poisonous gas The smoke enveloped both Sarah and the man.

Sarah covered her nose and mouth as fast as she could and opened the door, running out before the man could move.But Clement could tell her that after that, she didn't have to be afraid of that obviously malicious man.

The angle of view was still inside the room, to be exact, it was still consistent with the angle of view of the badge hooked up by him. Clement could clearly see the red smoke fade away, and a half-human-tall griffin pecked at the man's face. The front paws pressed his shoulders. The Griffin's strength was enormous. As soon as it stepped forward, it suppressed the opponent so that he could not struggle. It swept aside the syringe containing the unknown liquid, and it crushed the man's chest with another forceful claw. The shoulder bones make it powerless to resist.

"Don't stop," Clement said, as if directing it. "Grab him, don't let him go."

The Griffin did as he said, and Sen Han's eyes were shining with soul fire, it broke the man's legs mercilessly, to ensure that he had no option to escape while his hands were broken.

"Nice job." Clement smiled lightly: "Dark magic guards are the most reliable."

After watching this strange and vivid magic movie, Clement took out his mobile phone to dial a number, and pulled out a cloak with a red inside and black outside with a stand-up collar from the inside of the coat rack and put it on.

The BAU agents received two calls in different places, one was Dr. Reid who was working overtime, and the other was Jason Gideon who was off work.

Gideon received a call from Clement as soon as he came out of the flower shop. After hearing that his home was broken into by Sarah and fled in panic, he almost lost his grip on the phone. The other hand was more direct with the flowers he just wrapped for Sarah. It fell to the ground, and splashed in the puddles, not high and not low.

And when Reid received Clement's call, he thought it was Clement asking him when he would go home, and other people who were working overtime and went to Hotch's office from time to time thought so too, but when they were about to ask Reid, they saw the little doctor's expression change The happy smile transitioned all the way to the unsightly paleness.

Reid hung up the phone and said, "We have to find Hotch."

Hotch was asked by Strauss, the superior of BAU, to talk to him before leaving get off work, and he hasn't returned yet. This is partly the reason why BAU worked overtime on Friday night. They all wanted to know what kind of news Hotch would bring when he came back in the end—— There is a BAU year-end assessment about this time.

JJ asked, "What's wrong?"

Morgan and Emily also looked at Reid with concern.

Reid bit his lip and said, "Something happened to Gideon, someone broke into Gideon's apartment."

Morgan frowned and said, "What?!"

Emily also stood up immediately, and said, "What's the situation now? Let's go and see first, is Gideon okay?"

Everyone pushed the things at hand at the same time and was about to go out the door.

Morgan asked, "Did Gideon call you? Is he okay now?"

JJ said: "I'll inform Hotch first!"

Reid said: "It's not Gideon, it's Clement. He said that Gideon is fine. Now the man who broke into the house is still at Gideon's house. Anyway, we have to go and take a look."

Reid's few answers didn't make everyone clear, but made people more confused, but Morgan and Emily didn't ask any more questions. The most urgent thing now is to rush to Gideon's side, and they can answer any questions. Let's talk on the spot.

After Clement called Reid, he called Gideon again. He probably told Gideon about the situation and asked him to go home quickly and asked for the address, and then rode to Gideon's house by bicycle.

Fifteen minutes later, the BAU team rushed to Gideon's apartment led by Hotch. Emily went to knock on the door, and Hotch and Morgan drew their guns behind her and aimed at the door, as did JJ and Reid.

A group of people waited in full force, but the one who didn't want to come to open the door was none other than the unscathed Gideon.

Reid was the first to say, "Gideon, are you okay?"

Morgan and Emily said at the same time: "What's the situation now?"

Hotch was calmer than them: "Can I go in?"

JJ also said: "Is there a problem?"

Gideon opened the door wide and said, "Come in."

Several people from BAU entered the door. Reid followed Gideon closely and looked at him with great concern. Gideon was both a teacher and a father to him. Confidence, the depth of Reid's affection for him has long surpassed that of his missing father since he was a child.

Gideon patted Reid's shoulder reassuringly, and said, "I'm fine, I wasn't at home at the time, my old friend Sarah was at home, you've met."

"Sarah's fine...he's the one who's fine." Reid and the others followed his fingers. On the floor of the hall lay a middle-aged man covered in blood, with his hands and feet twisted at weird angles.

Everyone lost their voices: "Frank!"

Gideon said: "I don't know the specific situation, let's talk about it when Clement arrives."

He glanced worriedly at the closed bedroom door again, and said in a deep voice, "Only Clement can answer our questions."

Therefore, when Clement walked into Gideon's house, he was surrounded by everyone in the room. Of course, the unconscious Frank was not included in the case.

Clement's arms were bent, and his cloak was draped over it: "This formation is a bit scary."

Reid stood up to greet him: "We've all been waiting for you."

Clement put the cloak on the empty table, hugged him, kissed his ear, and said, "Thanks to Agent Gideon."

Then he let go of his hand and looked at Gideon, who also stood up, and said, "It was your good habits that saved her."

Gideon said: "Sarah said she saw red smoke and strange noises before she ran away, all from the closet."

"There is no mechanism on my closet, and you are the first person to know what happened in my house, so can you tell us what is the mystery of the badge you gave me?"

Clement said, "Just a little thing."

"I'm good at black magic, and Spencer and I made it on the clay brooch and badge that I gave to you. I thought they could prevent accidents." He took a few steps in the room calmly, from a He picked out a thin syringe from the corner and said, "It seems that it is performing just right now."

Reid looked at the familiar syringe and said, "Ketamine, Frank uses this horse tranquilizer to subdue his victims."

Morgan tossed the orange-red griffin badge to Clement: "Can you demonstrate it? Is the smoke gas poisonous? But Frank shouldn't have broken his arms and legs, and there are laceration wounds on his body."

Emily added: "On the face too."

Reid looked at Clement and said, "Can you tell me?"

He grabbed Clement's hand, and said softly: "It's okay to say nothing, we will all act as if nothing happened, and no one will say it."

Clement laughed: "But then you won't be able to explain to others how BAU caught Frank."

Hotch said in a low voice, "That's not a problem."

JJ said: "If it's really related to your secrets."

Gideon took a deep look at Clement and didn't speak. BAU is not a place that would bend the law for personal gain, but there are some aspects that they can't intervene in - and they can't intervene.

Such as those unnatural forces.

Clement said, "I know you won't tell."

He trusted Spencer, and he trusted these Agents with faith. Addams knows that some people just walk on their own with a lot of responsibility, but fortunately they have small groups to support them.

Clement squeezed Reid's hand, and twirled his fingers holding the griffin badge over it. Red smoke rose out of nowhere, and a majestic griffin appeared in the hall.

Everyone's eyes widened, and Reid was no exception. Although he knew Clement had some strange abilities during the action to stop Elle's impulsiveness, Reid had never actually seen Clement's black magic.

Morgan was the first to return to God: "This is really..."

Emily said, "Magic?"

JJ said, "Wow..."

There was also some shock on Hotch's face.

Counting down, only Gideon still maintained his expression. He has the oldest qualifications in BAU, and he has seen a lot in his decades of handling cases. He has never encountered such a situation as Clement. , but his mentality is more stable than that of young people.

Clement put the badge on the table again, and the griffin disappeared.

Clement said, "Remember what I said?"

JJ remembered that one day Clement sent Reid to BAU, gave each of them a small gift box, and said, "Blessings from black magic."

Emily said: "God, this amulet is amazing!"

Morgan patted his head and said, "Forgive me for stuffing that thing in the box, God knows I don't wear those accessories."

Clement said to the handsome black guy, "Then I hope you can wear it in the future."

Morgan said: "You don't need to say it anymore, I will carry it with me and never leave my body."

They all laughed.

Clement sat down with Reid, and Clement said, "Is that lady okay?"

He asked Sarah, and Gideon said: "Sarah was frightened, she just took a sedative and fell asleep."

Clement: "That's good."

He looked at Frank on the ground again, and said, "Is this man Frank?"

Clement said: "Spencer told me about him, the most murderous serial killer, an emotionless killing machine, he escaped from you last time."

Emily said: "Do you know him?" Because the FBI did not dare to fully expose Frank's actions for fear of causing panic among the masses, there is no Frank's face image on the market.

Reid would tell Clement that they were not surprised, but they would say that they showed Clement a photo in violation of the regulations... They also believed that the little doctor would not do such a thing.

Clement said, "I see."

He took out a piece of paper from under the cloak on the table, which was the rib wind chime he had drawn, and said, "I saw this, the serial killer Spencer who can make human ribs into wind chimes only mentioned this person's name."

Reid said: "It's Frank. Last time we found Frank, but he forced us to give up tracking him by relying on a truckload of children."

During the first confrontation with Frank, Morgan, who watched Gideon confront him all the way, said, "I knew he would definitely come back."

Hotch said: "And found Gideon again."

Clement tilted his head and said, "Why did he find Agent Gideon first?"

Gideon frowned and said, "Before you called me, I saw Jane passing by on the street."

"But I was worried about Sarah... so I came back to find her first."

"Did Jane escape?" Hotch said.

Emily said: "Last time she thought she and Frank were in love."

JJ said, "How about I call the police and ask them to find Jane?"

Gideon nodded: "Go ahead."

Reid explained to Clement: "I only told you about Frank's departure before. In fact, before he left, he also captured the local sheriff and exchanged her for Jane—a woman who would be favored by fate. Jane was caught by him 30 years ago, she said Frank's eyes were beautiful, she recognized Frank as an alien, and took Frank's attempted murder as an adventure in another dimension."

"But we all know that Frank's brain cannot give birth to love. He is a sexual｜sadist who can't understand the emotions and desires. He is a pervert. Compared with a normal person who can fall in love, his body lacks the necessary Component."

Clement winked at Reid to show he understood.

Morgan asked, "Gideon, do you have any speculation about Jane's psychology?"

Gideon was the one who saw Frank take Jane away with his own eyes, and he did say a few words to Jane, persuading Jane not to be blinded by the illusion in his mind.

but……

Gideon said: "She said 'Love is inherently perverted.'"

Emily clicked her tongue: "Perverts are also irreversible."

Morgan raised his forehead and said, "Talking about love and warmth with this guy is really the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard."

Everyone nodded, knowing that even Gideon said something like "I thought I had seen the scariest humanity in the world until I saw you" when facing Frank.

They discussed it for about half an hour before saying goodbye to Gideon. Reid gave him a hug and said, "Gideon, we caught him."

Morgan picked up Frank, who was unconscious, and said, "This guy can't come out and hurt people again."

JJ said: "We will find Jane and close this case as soon as possible."

Emily shook hands with the big guy.

Hotch glanced at the bedroom door, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I wish you happiness."

Clement followed the formation and said, "The griffin will protect you, just like you have been leading BAU into the charge."

Gideon heard Clement say this, glanced at Reid next to him, and said, "It's not my fault alone."

Clement laughed without saying a word.

The two of them were the two who walked the slowest, and before they left, Reid was about to pick up Clement's cloak from the table and take it away, when Clement took his hand and mouthed "shh" to him.

After going out, Reid couldn't help asking: "What did you do?"

Clement said: "I just became a delivery man once."

As the night grew darker, Gideon put the griffin badge back in order, and tidied up the messy room, and then he saw Clement's cloak on the table.

Gideon said, "Did you forget to take it?"

He went to pick up the cloak, thinking that he would take BAU to Reid after the weekend was over. Before the idea was clear, his eyes saw something under the cloak—a bunch of small yellow flowers that looked like dandelions. Like grass, but not grass, with little black dots in the middle, but not that kind, round, fluffy flowers, what the florist calls button daisy - a bouquet crowded next to a baby's breath The button chrysanthemum, exactly the same as the one he'd let go of and dropped to the floor when Clement got the call.

Gideon opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

On the other side, Emily, who was riding the Hotch car back to BAU, was looking at him curiously, and said, "Do you want to buy flowers for Haley?"

Hotch shook his head: "No."

He got out of the car and said to the florist: "Are there any flowers that symbolize the pursuit of meaning? Then come a bouquet of pink roses, please deliver it to this address for me..."

He wrote down the address of Gideon's house, and attached a few words: "Remember what I told you before I went to do the year-end evaluation? Button flowers are for mom. If you want to take action, it's roses."

The author has something to say:

I just finished writing, making up yesterday's.

To be honest, when I wrote this chapter, I thought I might take it for granted because of the narrative and plot issues, so can I understand it...Although I think I wrote it very clearly, I have always been a person who talks very well. , If you can't get out of your own perspective.

>There is another chapter tonight, it’s today’s, wish me a happy New Year’s Eve, be more careful.
