Chapter 2 Two Identical People

Jack's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew that this matter was far more complicated than he had imagined. He held Allen's hand tightly, fearing that this person, who might be the real Adam's father, would get lost. They crossed the busy street, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on them, adding a touch of warmth to this strange scene.

Jack's thoughts returned to the conversation he had with Adam a few minutes ago. Adam's voice was full of fear and uncertainty, which made Jack realize that this matter might involve their family's secrets, or some supernatural phenomenon that they could not understand.

They came to Jack's apartment, which was a somewhat old building. The paint on the exterior wall had peeled off, revealing the bricks and stones underneath. The stairs inside the apartment were narrow and steep, and every step made a creaking sound. Jack took Allen to his room, let him sit on a shabby sofa, and then poured him a glass of water.

Allen's eyes were still confused. He took the glass of water, but did not drink it. He just stared blankly at the water in the glass. Jack sat opposite him, carefully observing Alan's every move, trying to find any clues.

"Mr. Alan, can you tell me where you've been recently?" Jack asked tentatively.

Alan didn't answer, his eyes seemed to penetrate Jack and look into the distance. Jack sighed, he knew it might take some time, Alan's memory might be affected in some way.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Jack immediately stood up and saw Adam's anxious face through the cat's eye. He quickly opened the door and let Adam in.

As soon as Adam entered the door, he saw Alan sitting on the sofa, and a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes. He turned to Jack and whispered, "Is this really my father?"

Jack nodded, he knew Adam needed time to accept this fact. Adam slowly walked towards Alan, carefully sat next to him, and whispered, "Dad?"

Alan slowly turned his head, and his eyes finally focused on Adam's face. He seemed to be trying to recall, and the expression on his face gradually changed from confusion to surprise and fear. His voice was hoarse and weak: "Adam? How come you are here?"

A glimmer of surprise flashed in Adam's eyes, and he held Alan's hand tightly: "Dad, it's really you! Where have you been these days? That person at home... who is he?"

Alan's face showed a painful expression, he seemed to be trying to recall, but his memory seemed to be erased. He shook his head: "I don't know, I don't remember. I just remember that I went out for a walk, and then... then I don't remember anything."

Jack and Adam looked at each other, and they both realized that Alan might have suffered some kind of memory loss. Jack suggested: "We have to call the police, this matter may involve a crime."

Adam nodded, and he took out his mobile phone to call the police. But before he pressed the dial button, Alan suddenly grabbed his hand, his eyes full of fear: "No, don't call the police."

Adam and Jack were stunned, they looked at Alan in confusion. A struggling expression appeared on Alan's face, he seemed to be fighting against some invisible force. His voice was low and urgent: "Calling the police will only make things worse, believe me."

Jack and Adam fell into silence, they didn't know what to do. Alan's words confused them, but also made them realize that this matter might be much more dangerous than they thought.

Just then, Alan suddenly stood up, his eyes became firm: "We must leave here, now!"

Before Jack and Adam could react, Alan had already rushed out of the door. They hurried to catch up, but Alan had disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Jack and Adam looked at each other, they knew that they had to find Alan and solve this mystery.

They rushed out of the apartment, and the street outside was shrouded in the night. Under the dim light of the street lamps, they saw Alan's thin figure shuttled through the crowd. They quickened their pace and tried to catch up with Alan.

But at this moment, they noticed a black car slowly following behind Alan. The windows of the car were black, and the people inside could not be seen. Jack and Adam had an ominous premonition in their hearts. They knew that this matter was far more complicated than they thought.

They quickened their pace, but the car also quickened its speed. Alan seemed to notice the car behind him, and he started running. Jack and Adam followed closely behind, their heartbeats accelerated, and the tense atmosphere made their breathing rapid.

Just then, Alan suddenly turned into an alley. Jack and Adam followed closely behind, and they saw Alan stopped at the end of the alley. He turned around and faced the pursuing car.

The car stopped in front of Alan, the door slowly opened, and a man in a black suit walked out. His eyes were cold, and there was no expression on his face. He walked towards Alan, holding a knife with a cold light in his hand.

A fear surged in Jack and Adam's hearts, and they knew that they had to take action. They rushed to the man, trying to stop him from hurting Alan. But the man seemed to be prepared, he turned quickly, and stabbed Jack with the knife in his hand.

Jack couldn't dodge in time, and the blade cut his arm, and blood immediately gushed out. Adam saw this and rushed to the man angrily, and they wrestled together. Allen stood aside, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

Just then, the sound of the police car siren came from not far away. The man heard the siren and immediately gave up the attack, quickly ran back to the car, and disappeared into the night.

Jack and Adam fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Allen came over, his eyes full of guilt and gratitude. His voice trembled: "Thank you, you saved me."

Jack and Adam looked at each other, they knew that this matter was not over yet. They had to solve the mystery, find out the identity of the man, and why he hurt Allen.

The police car arrived at the scene soon, and the police asked them about their situation and recorded the incident. They told the police that they suspected that this matter was related to another Allen in Adam's home.

The police said they would investigate the matter and advised them to be vigilant. Jack, Adam and Allen knew that they had to unite to solve this mystery.

They returned to Jack's apartment, and Alan sat on the sofa, his face full of fatigue and confusion. Jack and Adam sat opposite him, and they knew that they had to get more information from Alan.

Alan began to tell his memory, his voice low and trembling. He said that he remembered that he saw something strange on the day he went out for a walk, and then he lost consciousness. When he woke up, he found himself in a strange place, and he didn't know how long he had been there.

His memory was intermittent, but he remembered that he had been looking for a way home, but he was always stopped by some force. He felt a deep fear, and he felt that he was controlled by some evil force.

Jack and Adam listened to Alan's narration, their hearts were full of shock and confusion. They knew that this matter involved a force that they could not understand, and they had to deal with it carefully.

They decided that early the next morning, they would go to Adam's house together to face the man who pretended to be Alan. They knew that this would be a dangerous showdown, but they had no choice, they had to uncover the mystery and protect their family.

It was late at night, and Jack and Adam let Alan rest in Jack's apartment. They knew that they needed to keep their strength and prepare for tomorrow's showdown. Alan lay in bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling, his heart filled with fear and uncertainty.

Jack and Adam sat in the living room, they discussed tomorrow's plan. They knew that they had to be careful, they couldn't let the man hurt Alan.

They discussed it for a long time until late at night. They decided that they would sneak into Adam's home, they would look for an opportunity to subdue the man, and then reveal his true identity.

They knew that this would be a dangerous adventure, but they had no choice. They had to protect their family and uncover the mystery. They knew that they might be facing a powerful enemy, but they also knew that they had to face it bravely.

It was late at night, but they couldn't fall asleep. Their hearts were filled with tension and uneasiness, they knew that tomorrow might be the most important day of their lives. They would face unknown enemies and uncover a mystery that could change their fate. They knew that they had to be prepared, they had to face it bravely.

They sat in the living room until dawn. They discussed various possible situations and they made plans. They knew that they had to be vigilant and they had to be careful.

The day finally dawned and they were ready. They knew that they would face a dangerous confrontation, but they also knew that they had to face it bravely. They would uncover the mystery and protect their family. They would face unknown enemies, but they also knew that they had to fight bravely.

They set off, their mood tense and determined. They knew that they would face a dangerous adventure, but they also knew that they had to face it bravely. They would uncover the mystery and protect their family. They would face unknown enemies, but they also knew that they had to fight bravely.

They came to Adam's house and they quietly entered the house. They saw the man who pretended to be Alan, who was sitting in the living room, watching TV. They approached him quietly and they were ready to subdue him.

They acted quickly and they subdued the man. They began to interrogate him, they tried to find out his true identity. They knew that they had to be careful and they could not let him escape.

The man finally admitted that he was a mercenary, he was hired to impersonate Alan, and his goal was to find an ancient relic. He said the relic was hidden in Adam's home and he had to find it.
