12 Facelings (9)

As I watched, Adam recounted the morning's experience in great detail.

*

At half past seven in the morning, Adam was having breakfast outside, and Hasegawa called her and said that he wanted to discuss his plans for the future.

Adam first found a more secluded place, completed his disguise, and then went to meet Hasegawa.

The two met in a fountain square, and as soon as they met, Hasegawa said, "I really still think that if you want to track down the mysterious organization, you must follow the clue of the sheepskin killer to find a reliable opportunity." ”

"I feel the same way." Adam nodded, "But the problem is, the sheepskin killer is dead, the body seems to be gone, and your divination and channeling are useless. ”

"Not really." Hasegawa shook his head and said, "Even if there is no body of him, if there is any blood stains left from his deathbed, or relics closely related to him, I can use this to divinate his whereabouts in the past period......"

At the end of the day, he also seems to have lost a lot of self-confidence, "Uh...... Well, I'm talking big, but I'm not that sure, maybe the result will be that I thought I could find clues to the mysterious organization, but I denared some miscellaneous information that has nothing to do with the mysterious organization......"

"But there's value in trying." Adam tapped him on the shoulder, affirmed his plan, and said, "Let's go, I should know where the Sheepskin Killer died." It took the Facelings a maximum of two hours from the time they set out, to find the Sheepskin Killer, to kill him, and it is likely that he completed his operation in the places I marked in my intelligence to him, where the Sheepskin Killer was most likely to be found. ”

Hasegawa let out an "um" and quickly turned around and walked to the parking lot, "I'm in charge of driving, and you're in charge of showing the way." ”

After getting into the car, Adam sat in the passenger seat and sighed: "Presumably, the mysterious organization did not expect this development, they should hope that the sheepskin killer will finally be arrested by the police." ”

Hasegawa was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"You should have also seen the Public Security Bureau's online wanted page for the sheepskin killer." Adam smiled and pointed to the key point, "According to the police, there have been witnesses to the sheepskin killer, and there is only one person. Don't you think something is wrong? ”

Hasegawa admitted: "It's true that the sheepskin killer knows how to 'feign', and as a rule, there will be no eyewitnesses at all." ”

"But the problem is that instead of eyewitnesses, there is this strange testimony," said Adam slowly, "'Whatever the sheepskin killer wears inside, he has to add a sheepskin to the outside.'" ”

"What's wrong with this...... Hasegawa said casually, but when he said the back, he suddenly frowned.

After a moment, he said, "How does this testimony sound like ...... Witnessed the Sheepskin Killer many times before? ”

"Because this eyewitness is actually a witness who has witnessed the sheepskin killer many times." "And the police must have noticed it immediately, but according to the information I received, the witness disappeared very quickly after leaving his testimony." ”

"Could it be that this eyewitness is a minion of a mysterious organization!" Suddenly, Hasegawa suddenly realized, "The mysterious organization has prepared a series of clues and physical evidence needed to complete the planting of the sheepskin killer after he was arrested by the public security, so in order to make the plan go smoothly, they have provided convenience for the public security to arrest the sheepskin killer!" ”

Adam looked at Hasegawa with a strange expression, as if there was a wild cat that often passed by the door of his house, and one day suddenly walked on two feet, and could use his two front paws to cross his waist, and his eyebrows fluttered to speak human words.

"What's that look on your face?" Hasegawa was annoyed, "Do you think I'm just a fool and can't even figure this out?" ”

"That's what I thought."

"What!?"

"Just kidding, kidding." Adam laughed.

However, she seems to take Hasegawa for a fool, but in fact she has never been negligent.

Because she didn't know what Hasegawa was, it was true that she met Hasegawa earlier than me, but this early was only a day or two earlier.

Although Hasegawa said that he would track down the mysterious organization for the sake of his abducted sister, who can prove it? Maybe Hasegawa seems clumsy, but in fact he is cunning and cunning, and this kind of person is not unseen in her experience.

Hasegawa snorted, started the car, drove out of the parking lot, and then guided by Adam, he made his way to the "little street off the beaten track" where the sheepskin killer died.

"Seriously, who the hell is that Faceling?" Soon, Hasegawa finally seemed to be unable to hold back, and he began to ask.

Adam, on the contrary, was quite surprised, "Don't you know? ”

"Why do I need to know him?" Hasegawa was a little angry, "I know about the 'Faceless Killer', but is this 'Faceling' really that famous? ”

*

Just as Adam was stating this, I interjected curiously, "What is a disfigured murderer?" ”

Adam took out a bottle of mineral water to moisten his parched mouth, then screwed the cap on the bottle and explained, "It's a horror urban legend that only became popular this year, and the Faceless Killer is this legendary monster, it is said that he has no face, and his hands and fingers are blades, and he can freely move through the world of shadows." If someone walks outside alone at midnight and accidentally puts their back in front of any shadow of just the right size, the Faceless Killer will reach out his hands from the shadows and drag the unlucky man into the shadows. Sometimes, the Shadowless Killer traps his victim in a world of shadows forever, happily repeating the torture of life rather than death; Sometimes, they will show mercy and give the victim a direct pleasure, and then throw the body back into the real world. ”

After listening to it, I casually sighed, "That sounds terrible." ”

"Isn't it scary?"

"It's scary."

"How scary?"

"Why do you suddenly ask that?"

"Because you're the prototype of this urban legend."

"Huh?" Rao is the image that I can play as a ruthless and strong man again, and I can't help but be stunned at this time.

Am I the archetype of an urban legend? When? Why?

Adam looked at my expression, smiled, and went on to tell the story of the morning.

*

"Of course it's famous, the Faceless Killer is based on the Faceling." Adam looked at Hasegawa's suddenly stunned face and asked, "You confronted the Facelings before, how did you feel at that time?" ”

"This ...... It's scary. Hasegawa seemed reluctant to raise the prestige of others and destroy his own ambitions, but he still told the truth, "I feel that he can pre-read all my movements." The moment I was about to teach him a lesson, I seemed to have seen the picture of my outstretched arm being broken, and no matter what I did at that moment, I would inevitably end up breaking my arm. Even, if I wanted to go further, he might even choke my throat. ”

Now, on the contrary, Adam was surprised, "Your inspiration is so keen, but can you also be pre-read by the Facelings?" ”

"I'm inspired enough to pre-read my opponent's 'next step', but someone like him who is experienced in combat can even pre-read my 'next step'. I don't have an advantage in this area. Hasegawa can only admit the shortcomings.

"Facelings seem to be even more terrifying than I know." Adam sighed, "Anything else?" ”

"Also, I noticed afterwards that his presence was far more diluted than that of the average person, as if his surroundings were water, and he dissolved himself into the water." Hasegawa continued, "He must be proficient in martial arts, so he is very good at covering his aura, plus he is an ordinary person who does not have psionic powers, and his sense of existence is far inferior to that of psionic beings based on inspiration alone, so it is easy to ignore the past." Even I, a psychic medium, think so, I'm afraid that ordinary psykers can't lock him in with inspiration at all. ”

"You're right." Adam admitted, "Many of the psionics who were slashed by him in the past were killed by him with his assassination techniques, and there was no room for any psionic power." ”

"This kind of person is simply a psionic nemesis, a psyker in the Black Zone of Beaver City, how could he be allowed to continue to exist?" Hasegawa asked in surprise.

"Of course it can't be allowed, so a year ago, his partner may have betrayed him because of this, and he himself was besieged by a team of psionics, led by super-grade psionics." "After that, the Facelings, their side-friend, and the team all withdrew from the city's stage. ”

"The team led by the super-grade psionics ......" Hasegawa froze.

"Everyone wants to believe that the Faceling is dead, but no one can give definite evidence, and the Faceling's ability to disguise and his unpredictable whereabouts make him a ghost hovering in the hearts of the native psykers, an unspeakable monster, a terrifying incarnation, a symbol of the unknown, violence, and death." Adam said slowly, "When the rumors of the Black Zone spread to the superficial society, and degenerated under the effect of communication, they became urban legends, that is, the 'disfigureless murderers' that even you know." ”

Hasegawa was speechless.

After a long time, his face gradually became ugly, as if he thought of some bad possibility.

"You say, could the Facelings be part of a mysterious organization?" He said coldly.

Adam was looking at the scenery flying by outside the car window, and at this time he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"It stands to reason that the Facelings were besieged by the psionic team, and even if they didn't die, they should be seriously injured, even if they were disabled." "But now he has no signs of injury...... I don't doubt that he is not a faceling deity, a martial artist of that level, and there will not be a second one in Beaver City anytime soon, but you say, could it be that the mysterious organization healed him? ”

Adam was noncommittal," continued. ”

"A person like a faceling, who is not a psionic person, but is also so powerful, must be very eager to have psionic energy, even if it is only the most basic psionic ability, it is enough to make him a monster that even super-level psionics look up to, maybe it is comparable to the legendary 'combat expert of the Demon Suppression Bureau'." Hasegawa said, "And if it's a mysterious organization, it can provide him with this kind of opportunity, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the two sides are a perfect match made in heaven." ”

"Facelings do have a motive to join a mysterious organization, and it's quite sufficient, but what about the evidence?" Adam asked again.

"Although there is no evidence, but think about it, why did the Facelings suddenly make a comeback at such a critical time? And we just killed the sheepskin killer, who was very important to us, and just happened to find the body of the sheepskin killer nowhere to be found? If it's just an accident, that's easy to say, but when several 'accidents' in a row are combined with the 'natural allies of the mysterious organization', it is not optimistic. Hasegawa made a rare coherent opinion.

Adam, on the other hand, was quite cautious, "Maybe it's really just an accident, besides, if the mysterious organization wants the Sheepskin Killer to be arrested by the police, why would the Facelings kill the Sheepskin Killer?" ”

"Because I joined halfway through, I disrupted the plans of the mysterious organization." Hasegawa said conclusively, "If I find the sheepskin killers, or their corpses, I will pull them out into the sun!" Maybe they're not afraid of me, but they're afraid I'll call the police! So they changed their plans and dispatched the Facelings to exterminate the Sheepskin Killers. ”

"It sounds like a thing, but it's not reasoning at all, it's just suspicion, not to mention that there are some flaws in it that can't be ignored......"

For example, since the Facelings are enemies, why not take advantage of the last time they met and kill themselves and the others.

Adam was about to say this when her cell phone rang.

She glanced down and said, "It's a call from the Facelings." ”

"Maybe he has a way to spy on us." Hasegawa stopped suddenly, and said, "I know that I am not good at reasoning, and the reasoning just now is also very immature and lacks conclusive evidence, but don't you think that now is a great opportunity to test the Facelings?" ”

Then, his eyes became more serious, "If he knows what we are going to do now, and tries to persuade or even warn us that we must not look for clues about the sheepskin killer, then he will be black." ”

Adam stared at Hasegawa for five seconds before answering the phone.

After a few moments, the call ends.

Although Hasegawa had his hands on the steering wheel, he still used his psionic powers to enhance his sense of hearing and listened to the entire call.

Adam put away his phone and said to him, "As you said, the Facelings know what we're doing and warn us to abandon our current schedule. ”

"In other words, Facelings can't be trusted." Hasegawa said firmly.

"It's true that I don't really like to believe in chance, and if the Facelings are really part of the mysterious organization, then all the previous accidents can be turned into necessity." Even Adam agreed.

But she changed her tone and said, "But I still suggest that you take the Faceling's word and turn back immediately." ”
