As the victims truly die, the Shapeless Killer will also be strongly affected.

This effect does not mean that it dies because the basis for its birth has been destroyed, it is not like a child does not die because of the death of a parent who is far away. But the difficulty of its "rebirth" will rise dramatically as a result. Once formed, it is extremely difficult to destroy such a thing, because as long as there are still people in this world who remember it, it can return to the material world from the spiritual world of people countless times. From this point of view, I myself will also be the driving force for its resurrection. However, as long as the number of people who remember it is scarce, and the weaker the thoughts about it, the longer it will take for it to return to the material world.

I don't think the Lord of Ants was aware of the existence of the Invisible Killer. If you have something to expect, then there are ways to stop it or make it happen. And yet he did nothing. The birth of the Invisible Killer was probably just an unexpected accident for him. Not only is the probability of such an event very low, but it also requires him to have some knowledge of the elves. I'm afraid that even if he had anticipated that a powerful psyker might suddenly awaken among the victims, he might not have expected such an event. I didn't expect that I would be hunted down by a disfigured killer in the future.

I now have a rough idea of why the Shapeless Killer would target the Ant Lord and me. I recall that a cronie I had tortured had said to me: The real murderer is the one who takes pleasure in the fear, pain, and despair of your prey, and takes the initiative to kill people. And that's the benchmark for the Faceless Killer to choose his prey. Neither a person like Xu Shengxing nor a person like Naoto Inoue; It's people like the Lord of Ants, and people like me. Its mission is to become a "greater darkness" that devours such people.

In other words, if it is premised on the words of his cronies, then the Shameless Killer is a murderer who takes the destruction of the killer as his mission.

I put the flame glove in my pocket and turned around, my back to the columbarium. If I were a Zoroastrian, I would have prayed and purified with flames. But unfortunately, I'm not, and no one here is. Suddenly, I noticed that Xu Shengxing was looking at me with strange eyes, and then at my pocket.

"The glove just now, was it your own psionic item, or did you borrow it from someone else?" He asked.

"It's my own." I say.

He nodded, then asked, "So, can you transfer it to me?" ”

"You need?" I asked curiously. He himself is a super-grade psionic who can manipulate flames, and the psionic flames that my flame glove can emit are only a little stronger than the second-level at best. He behaved like a person with a strong sense of hearing asking someone with bad ears to ask for a hearing aid.

"Some personal needs." He said, "Of course, I won't let you give it to me for nothing, it's the deal." If you are willing to transfer it to me, then even if I owe you a favor. ”

It's weird, instead of being hostile to me from the start, he's still talking to me about deals and favors. But I don't want this favor. Therefore, I directly expressed my refusal.

"Really?" He groaned, then threw over a small cloth bag, "And how about this?" ”

I caught the bag, and it felt a little heavy. When I opened it, I saw that it contained one eyeball after another. The eyeballs resemble marbles and are gray in color, while the iris is yellow. It was the "earthworm eyeball" I was looking for.

"This is the item I found in this stronghold, and I remember that it was some kind of precious material, at least worth much more than your glove." Xu Shengxing said.

"It's stolen goods, isn't it? That's how you gave it? Inoue was surprised.

"Where do you think the Lord of Ants bought these precious materials?" Xu Shengxing asked rhetorically, and then said, "Even if we confiscate it afterwards, it will eventually return to some dirty hands." I had already decided to destroy it all afterwards, but now that I have the opportunity to reuse the waste, I don't mind using it again. ”

He added to me, "At the same time, this is my respect for your previous actions. ”

"I see." I put away the Earthworm's Eyeball, then took out the Flame Glove and threw it to him from afar.

In this way, my main goal this time has been accomplished.

There is only one thing left to do next, and that is to kill the Lord of the Ants.

Originally, I wasn't that obsessed with killing the Ant Lord. If you find it, kill it; But if you can't find it, there's no way to do it. That's what I thought at first. But after seeing the victims here, I couldn't help but think that "I have to kill the ants." If I say that this thought comes from the "heart of justice", and that I want to be chivalrous and righteous, then it seems that I am putting gold on my face. Even if it's not to others, just to yourself, it will inevitably have a taste of self-promotion. So here's how to put it this way: I just can't stand the kind of people who live under the same sky as me.

That is, if he exhales over there, and after a while, I inhale again, then in the air I inhale, there may be air molecules coming out of his mouth. As soon as I had this disgusting imagination, I felt that I couldn't let a person like the Ant Lord continue to live.

It may seem to the Invisible Killer that I am the same kind of person as the Ant Lord, but that's just the standard for it. It's it, I'm me.

"Wasn't the colony removed from the whitelist? How can anyone still have a deal with the Lord of the Ants? Inoue asked.

"It shows that they are not monolithic." Xu Shengxing said, "You will slowly see it in your future work." ”

"Hmph, is it......" Naoto Inoue frowned at first, then stretched out, "When I climb to the top, one of those people will go to prison." ”

With that, he raised his right hand and erased the symbol on his forehead that sealed the psychic medium's ability.

At this moment, he was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Xu Shengxing, who showed a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"No, it'......s nothing," he said, shaking his head, and then, "now that the painful memories have dissipated from the air, I'll go back to the past here and see if I can continue to investigate." ”

"Please." Xu Shengxing nodded.

Naoto Inoue closed his eyes and began to activate his psychic abilities.

I didn't see any psionic energy coming out of him. After a while, he opened his eyes and pondered for a moment before he said to us, "There is a result." ”

"How?" Xu Shengxing asked.

"It's pretty much the same as what I saw when I was flooded with memories before, but ......," Naoto Inoue sorted out his words, "When the Ant Lord came to the containment chamber to torture the victims, he occasionally flipped through a rather old book in his spare time. ”

"What book?" I asked.

He answered my questions.

What the Lord of the Ants was looking at was a book that recorded rituals, and the so-called rituals were "rituals of rebirth".

I once talked to Naoto Inoue about whether it was possible for the Ant Lord to have the technology to reincarnate. When talking about rebirth, the emphasis is on the limits of the rebirth rituals that ordinary people can perform. And this limitation also exists in the reincarnation ritual mastered by the Ant Lord. According to what Inoue sees in the flashback footage, the requirements for this reincarnation ceremony are as follows: the presiding officer must use his own direct blood relatives within three generations as the reincarnation; The reincarnated body must be in the center of the ritual rune array; The host must not be more than 10 meters away from the reincarnation. The ritual requires the use of several precious materials, including the "earthworm's eyeball", and when all preparations are made, the soul is transferred to the reincarnated body as soon as the host dies.

While Naoto Inoue was telling this, I noticed that he made a hidden gesture to Xu Shengxing. Xu Shengxing seemed to pretend not to see it, and then asked, "This reincarnation ritual, can a person only use it once, or can it be used many times?" ”

"Able to use it multiple times." Inoue replied.

Xu Shengxing asked, "Suppose a person wants to initiate a second reincarnation ritual, and he takes his son's body for the first time, can he take the body of his great-grandson the second time?" ”

It seems that the answer to this question is also in what Naoto Inoue saw, and he shook his head directly, "No, it must be a direct blood relative within three generations of the initial body." ”

Xu Shengxing breathed a sigh of relief.

I had already made a conclusion in my mind, but just in case, I asked him, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I once used a psionic item with a lie detector function on Xu Quanan." He replied, "And the conclusion is that he is indeed the Lord of the Ants." ”

"Sure enough......" Inoue muttered to himself.

No wonder Xu Shengxing's reaction when he first saw me was not as fierce as I imagined. Since Xu Quanan is the Lord of Ants, and the Lord of Ants is confirmed to be still active, that is to say, Xu Quanan is not really dead. Moreover, since the polygraph can come to such a conclusion, it is certainly not the stand-in that was killed at that time, but the ontology. It is likely that Xu Quanan used the reincarnation ritual at that time and successfully shed the golden cicada.

But how did he get around ritual restrictions? The ritual rune array and the reincarnation could not be more than ten meters away from the host, and this condition could be met skillfully. But how to satisfy the fact that "the reincarnated body must be a direct blood relative within three generations"? His biological parents and grandparents have all passed away, and there are no children other than Xu Shengxing. If he wanted to choose a reincarnated body, he would have to choose between Xu Shengxing and me. And Xu Shengxing was not standing in any talisman formation at that time, and he was more than ten meters away from Xu Quanan. What's more, as a super-grade psionic person, he will not be robbed of his body by ordinary people. Could it be that Xu Quanan has other illegitimate children?

No, take a step back and think about it, he may not be Xu Quanan, but Xu Quanan's father Xu Yangu.

Xu Shengxing once said to me that after Xu Yangu's death, Xu Quanan seemed to be a different person, as if he had been robbed of his body by Xu Yangu.

I recalled the details he told me: Xu Yangu, who was lying in a pool of blood, and Xu Quanan, who was stepping on a carpet with strange patterns, and the latter stood next to the former, looking at Xu Shengxing, who was still in elementary school at the time......

Xu Shengxing's face sank as he asked Naoto Inoue about the details of the ritual talisman array.

"Each symbol in the rune array is like a lot of nematodes intertwined into a strange pattern, like flowers, and the flowers seem to be arranged in a disorderly manner, and the color is mainly red......" Naoto Inoue tried to describe the rune array.

The more Xu Shengxing listened, the more he clenched his fists, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Xu Yangu! ”

"Let's look elsewhere first, maybe the Lord of the Ants is somewhere in this stronghold......" Inoue said, turning around and walking towards the exit.

At that moment, the wall next to him was suddenly smashed through by a behemoth.

The behemoth was a three-meter-tall black power armor, which drove to his side with lightning speed, and at the same time quickly raised its steel fist and smashed it into his head.
