Jot quickly said, "Wait, don't be rash. I can help you resolve this. All you need is a simple psychiatric evaluation, and you'll soon be a tycoon abroad. Why do you have to do this?"
Norman grinned sinisterly. "No, you didn't want me to live. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't want someone who knew too many of my secrets to live either. So, I want you to die with me. "
At that point, Norman suddenly pushed Jot away and shot his boss.
Jot screamed and fell to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of bullets were fired from the rifles of the two DEA agents who had been lying in wait. Norman fell to the ground, and the gun in his hand flew out.
The two agents rushed forward and helped the injured Jot up.
Jot suddenly screamed, but he heaved a sigh of relief.
Norman's shot had only hit his leg. Judging from his HP, it didn't seem to have damaged his major blood vessels. His life was saved.
Gesturing for the two agents not to drag him away, Jot looked at Norman.
Norman was already lying in a pool of blood, but he had a strange smile on his face as he stared at Jot.
Countless thoughts flashed through Jot's mind, but he was momentarily speechless.
Norman coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood. He muttered, "Do you think you can hide from me? Haha, I've already sent evidence of your drug trafficking to the FBI, NYPD, the DA, and the most famous newspapers in America. Congratulations, Jot. You'll soon go to hell to accompany me. I'll be waiting for you there! "
After saying that, he let out a long sigh. His body went limp and he stopped moving completely.
Jot was terrified.
Norman might be crazy, but he was never stupid.
If he said that before he died, it couldn't be fake.
How could this be? Why did things suddenly turn out like this? What exactly went wrong? Jot fell into deep self-doubt.
…
In front of the virtual screen, Selina's mouth dropped open as she watched the livestream. "What the hell is going on? Is Norman really crazy? "
Norman had been taken away by the DEA and escaped under strict supervision.
It definitely wouldn't be easy for him to escape.
Now that he had successfully escaped, he could just disappear. At most, he could change his identity and go to South America to have fun and be a rich man for a few years.
Why did he come looking for trouble with his boss? What was even stranger was why did he push Jot away and shoot? Previously, his gun had been pressed against Jot's head, and he could have easily killed him. However, he had superfluously given others a chance to shoot him.
Luke sipped his coffee leisurely and didn't answer Selina's questions.
Even if he was the one who knew all of this.
In fact, the night he first met Norman, the two of them had even met once.
Even Norman's subordinates had met Luke that night.
But Luke wasn't there to catch up.
The effect of 40 Mental Strength was so obvious that Luke wouldn't waste it.
As the saying goes, good things never stay overnight.
At noon, he recorded Norman's team in his little black notebook. At night, he used them as his first test subjects after his Mental Strength reached 40.
Why did Norman's team go to make a deal with Gusman the day after the incident? And why did the entire team go together?
The answer was self-evident.
Why did Norman suddenly change his mind and get called to the scene of the deal by Mackey?
Of course, only Luke knew the reason.
Actually, Norman's team wasn't the only one Luke had met that night.
Unbeknownst to him, Gusman had met Luke once.
They had all personally experienced the power of inducer + Basic Hypnosis + Mental Communication + 40 Mental Strength.
Unfortunately, Luke didn't have true hypnosis abilities.
For example, Kilgrave's Elementary Pheromone Control had a description at the end (which could be learned in part).
The difference in usage was that Luke's Pheromone Control could only be used on women, and had no effect on men.
Thus, he couldn't directly make Norman and the others do anything that would directly endanger their lives.
For example, he could directly make them turn themselves in or expose Jot's crimes, because their subconscious was very clear that they would definitely die.
Luke could only target the weaknesses in these people's personalities in order to make this drama go down a path that the public would like to see.
Magnifying the anger and fear in Gusman's heart, as well as Norman's paranoia, ruthlessness, and self-destruction, would make them ignore a lot of unreasonable things and slowly walk down a path of no return.
In fact, Norman and Gusman had always been cautious in their dealings. It was rare for the bosses of both sides to meet directly, and even rarer for them to negotiate with their trusted subordinates.
Of course, this was also Luke's doing.
His hints made both sides not pay attention to the risks of the negotiation, and focused on the goods and money.
For both sides, the most important thing was the goods and money.
After so many years, this kind of worldview that had taken root in their hearts made them ignore the huge risks.
After all, selling illegal drugs was a huge risk to begin with. Both sides were used to this risk, so they weren't very vigilant.
During this experiment, Luke obtained information from Norman's team about the big shot behind the scenes, Jot Hanks.
This included the fact that Norman had a lot of evidence of Jot selling drugs, and that Jot wanted Mackie to replace the unstable Norman.
Even so, if Norman wanted to kill Jot, it would be easy for Norman's survival instincts to rebound.
Thus, Luke relied on the optical camouflage armor to create what Norman thought was a "silencing incident," and successfully activated the "mutual destruction" hint that he had set beforehand.
Norman's personality was destined to be narrow-minded and extreme.
As long as Luke strengthened his thoughts of "revenge" and "mutual destruction," there was a high chance that Norman would follow this path of death.
After spending the most time and effort on Norman, Luke finally pulled Jot, the big fish behind the scenes, out of the water and threw him ashore.
Now that there was a live TV broadcast and the evidence that Norman had collected, there was a problem with Jot.
Besides, it wasn't that there was nothing wrong with Jot, but that there was a huge problem.
Also, he was in the same situation as Norman — because of the exposure, it wasn't just the victims and competitors who wanted him dead, but also his partners and subordinates.
As long as Jot's mouth was pried open, his subordinates and accomplices wouldn't be able to escape. The easiest way was for Jot, a key figure, to commit suicide or disappear.
Thus, the bigshot of the DEA in New York only had two options: prison or escape.
A DEA agent who sold drugs probably wouldn't live for long in prison.
As for escaping? Luke felt that that would be even better.
After happily finishing his latte, Luke went to work in high spirits.
Selina continued to look through the files in the living room, and from time to time, she would look at the heart-shaped flowers in her coffee cup that hadn't been touched at all.
