Chapter 7: The Spark of the Decisive Battle
Because of this incident, the whole meeting seemed to be covered with a dark cloud, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly heavy and oppressive, especially when John said about the disappearance of the citizens, the entire conference room was silent for a moment.
Because now, even a fool can see that the remains of those gnawed corpses beyond recognition are those citizens who have mysteriously disappeared, not to mention, John's words clearly mention that there have been three groups of citizens who have disappeared, excluding this time, the previous two groups of citizens who disappeared have also been turned into bones in a corner of the city.
And, for sure, it's absolutely inseparable from Dragon Circus!
"Now, we can only completely block and arrest the Dragon Circus. A lawmaker said. Many people agreed.
"Absolutely not!" said in a solemn voice, "We have already investigated, and those thousands of viewers have indeed been exerted with spiritual abilities, and if they are rashly attacked, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems with those thousands of citizens." β
The congressman immediately stood up and retorted: "Do you still think that there are people with spiritual powers? Their spiritual thoughts are not controlled at all! The top priority is to arrest the culprit!"
"There are, spiritual beings exist. Cook muttered, and then said the person he had met earlier with a timed ** tied to his body.
As a result, the meeting fell silent again, and one of the councillors propped his forehead and muttered in a painful voice, "Then what should we do?" β
Hailanduo also had a headache at this time, rubbed her forehead, and said a little weakly: "Yes, obviously everyone was still acting normally before, why did they suddenly come to such a stubble." β
"About this, Sister Lan, I have an idea. Cook tilted his head and continued to face Highland, "Those people who were all fine have suddenly come out with a guy who is clearly being controlled, and nine times out of ten, that person has been instructed. β
"Instructions?" Hylando wondered.
Cook nodded and said, "Think of it this way, Sister Lan, the Jared you said has applied an ability to thousands of viewers, but he only applied the ability, and he didn't urge it, so they are all no different from normal people, and after that, Jared urged one of them to exert the ability in his body, the purpose is to delay as much time as possible." β
Most abilities apply and urge as one, but there are some abilities that can be applied and urged separately.
I see, it does make sense. Hylando groaned slightly, but then thought of something, and said, "But since there is no urging ability, what about the repeat customer phenomenon? They were all normal people at that time, and normal people wouldn't do this, right?"
Indeed, it was this repeat phenomenon that made Cook think that Jared's ability had been triggered. However, it was today's events that allowed him and Highlandoto to see the true gesture of their spiritual control, and it was only then that they broke the deadlock in their thinking. There may be another reason for the phenomenon of repeat customers.
Cook shook his head, not quite sure about this, and said, "This is indeed a doubt, I can only assume that it is a trait of Jared's ability." β
"Hmm...... In any case, this is the closest we can think of to the answer. Highlando's head was satisfied. After that, he smiled slightly: "Moreover, we already know that there is another murderer behind the scenes." β
Whether it's Jared's mysterious phone call, or the middle-aged man who explodes to delay them when he is bound, and the bloody scene like Shura's purgatory, all indicate another brutal murderer behind the scenes!
The rest of the meeting was terrifyingly quiet, although they had a lot of power in Hajigis City as a branch of the Lysan Academy, but the purpose of these rights was to be responsible to the citizens of the city, and the Dragon Circus, which had thousands of citizens as an umbrella, made them feel as if they were being held hand and foot, and they could not move at all.
And just like that, the meeting ended in silence.
The next day, the brutal and bloody murder case spread rapidly throughout the city like wings, and even the big screen of the TV station was broadcasting about it, and the citizens of the city were a little panicked for a while, and there was talk of this matter everywhere.
"Hehe, my sister was too careless, but forget it, there are enough seeds planted, but it just made the plan advance. In the Dragon Circus, Jared looked at the report on the TV, the corners of his mouth crossed a cold arc, looked down at the list in his hand, and for a long time, I saw him take one out of it, looking at the detailed information on it, and the weird smile gradually intensified.
The city finally gradually covered with night again, and the original bright and clear moonlight was also covered with a cold and evil charm at this time.
In a palatial-looking mansion, Jared bent down slightly, smiled at a well-dressed bald man with a somewhat fat body in front of him, and said, "Mr. Hanlaws, you don't need to be so nervous, we are very sincere to ask you for cooperation. β
Hanlaw looked at Jared with a slightly pale face, a few beads of sweat slipped off his face from time to time, and he said a little calmly: "What's the matter? I won't help you do anything illegal." β
Behind Hanlaus, a slender woman covered in a big black trench coat was playing with a bloody severed hand with great interest, and the blood stains dotted on the ground were vaguely connected into a line, and at the end of the line was Hanlaus's seat, and at this moment, there was still a little blood flowing out of Hanlaus's broken sleeve.
Jared showed a harmless smile, looked at Hanlaus with an innocent face, and said, "How so, we just hope you can give a grand speech in the central square." β
"What kind of speech is that?" asked Hanlaus.
Jared gradually laughed strangely and gloomily, no longer harmless to humans and animals, and said with some excitement: "A lecture on the abolition of Dean John." β
Hanlaus's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in horror: "You guys...... Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course, you don't have the right to refuse, after all, your 15-year-old daughter looks very sweet and delicious. The inadvertent flash of obscenity in Jared's eyes made Hanlaus's eyes widen violently, and he roared, "Where! where did you bastards hide Nana!"
Boom!
A severed bloody hand slammed down on the table, and it also smashed the momentum that Hanlaus surged up because of his anger, and the whole person fell into despair again.
Jared was a little mad, and seemed to be very excited about the abolition of John, and whispered like a demon, "Don't worry, Mr. Hanlaus, your financial resources and your excellent oratorical skills will surely make this speech an unprecedented success." β
"Looking forward to your performance, Mr. Hanlaws. β
β¦β¦
A few days later, the TV news about this kind of bizarre corpse mutilation case broadcast more and more frequently, the most noteworthy thing is that every time the crime scene will be written in blood with two big bloody characters - John!
The restlessness of the citizens has gradually been seen, and the two bold characters John appear on the scene like a prophecy of death, so that John has gradually become a source of calamity in the hearts of the citizens.
Fear is a very contradictory emotion, which obviously only makes the weak shiver and warm up, but after having a common hatred and fear of the target, these weak people seem to stand on the judgment seat of righteousness, majestic and majestic, barking madly at that target like wild dogs.
But the weak are still weak after all, and if there is no one to lead the charge for them, they dare not vent their hatred.
It's ridiculously funny!
Here, after watching the report on TV, Highlander and Cook were very tacitly quiet.
Compared to the ignorant people, who know a lot of information, how can they not see that this is a provocation to John, coupled with the undisguised corpse mutilation case, it is obvious that Jared and their plan has begun to start, and for now, John is likely to be their target.
And so far, they haven't done nothing. The traces of the beast's bite are enough to explain a lot, and another person behind the scenes has raised man-eating monsters in this city! And in order to cover up this horrific fact as much as possible, Highlander even used the right to broadcast the cannibalism incident as a corpse shredding case, after all, there were many witnesses to the wreckage everywhere at that time, and it was the best result to be able to cover up the past with a corpse shredding case.
After a long silence, Highlander still asked Cook softly, "Little Cook, what do you think?"
Cook thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lan, I think their ultimate goal is to be Dean John." β
Highlander nodded slightly, she thought the same thing.
"The question is, what do we do next. Cook continued. The occasional cases of beast cannibalism have made the citizens more and more panicked, and they, as members of the Lai Yi Academy, want to minimize the casualties of the citizens as much as possible, and this kind of incident is already in a state of urgency.
But here's the tricky thing, Jared secretly exerted an ability on thousands of people, which is their most stable protective umbrella, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a large number of regular human flesh bombing incidents like that day.
Hailanduo smiled faintly at this time, and said: "It's okay, since they have already started the plan, it means that our decisive battle with them is not far away, and they will definitely make big moves in the near future." β
Cook frowned slightly, a little unclear.
"Deliberately pointing the finger at John, in my opinion, is to cause dissatisfaction among the citizens and create a riot, because if you want to fight against John, who has the power of the empire, the citizens under his jurisdiction are the best weapons, and Jared, who has thousands of puppets, can do this very easily now, so, when the time comes, in order to ensure that it can cause a riot, he is likely to involve a large number of his puppets, or rather, he will definitely do it then, otherwise I can't imagine what he is controlling so many citizens for, and at that time, it is when his protective umbrella is the weakestγ β
"So, we're going to have to take that opportunity then. After listening to Highland's inference, Cook thought for a moment and groaned.
"Yes, so the real battle has just begun. β
