10 Facelings VII

In fact, I have no confidence in my own way of looking at people, who is a trustworthy person, who is a shameless liar, I don't have a mature way of discernment.

More than ninety percent of the people in this world, even if they live to be seventy or eighty, still can't understand the hearts of others hidden under their bellies. If there are "professional" bluffers, they will use tricks to deceive them, and it will be difficult for them to come up with the so-called "wisdom of the elderly" to see the lies. As for me, the reborn person of "two lives", I am very sorry, and I am also an inconspicuous member of "more than ninety percent of the people in this world".

But that's not to say that I can't do anything about lies.

If you can't attack a lie, then defend against it.

It's not that difficult to do this, you just need to keep your doubts in your heart like you take your house keys with you every day when you go out.

At this time, I was doubting Adam.

I never take a person lightly just because he is an "ordinary person without power", because I myself am such an "ordinary person without strength", but I have also stabbed more than one psyker. In my opinion, compared to Hasegawa, who is both a psyker and a psychic medium, Adam, a seemingly weak "ordinary person", is a dangerous object that should be paid more attention to.

She seemed kind, but it made me feel unpredictable.

Her history of stirring up multiple gangs to fight each other tells me that she is not a good type, and that the fact that everyone she has worked with has met with misfortune soon after, is also impossible for me to ignore; In contrast, Hasegawa is more like a fledgling in the Black Zone - not even a fledgling, only a "fertilized egg", not only lacking criminal experience, but also stubble, although I will not take him lightly either, but if you want to rank, he is still behind Adam.

Of course, my suspicion of Adam is not limited to habitual suspicion, unreliable intuition, and gossip that does not know whether it is true or false, but also a decisive basis, that is, Adam once said that if it wasn't for Hasegawa, then she only thought that the sheepskin killer was an ordinary serial murderer.

But at the time I bought the "Sheepskin Killer's Intelligence" from her, she didn't know about the Sheepskin Killer's connection to the mysterious organization, and the information she sold was too rich to be judged by my experience, unless she had already paid close attention to the Sheepskin Killer.

This strongly contradicts what she has just said, and it has become a key factor in my suspicion of her.

Like a spy in a hometown anti-war movie, I sneakily hung behind Adam and watched her walk into the women's section of the public toilet.

*

At this point, I was on a lively street. This is the central street of the second district, and although the sun has set, it is still full of people. I hid behind a vending machine next to the street, and the public toilet that Adam entered was about ten meters away from me, and people came in and out from time to time.

Ten minutes passed, and Adam still hadn't stepped out of the public toilet.

Could it be that my tailgating has been detected and she has escaped through the window of the women's bathroom? Or is it that the milk tea accident caused her excretory problems before, and now she is just releasing the inventory in her stomach inside?

Just as I was nervous, I saw a woman come out of the public toilet.

The woman's appearance was very different from the Adam I had just seen, and even then, I was able to immediately identify that she was Adam.

It seems that she, like me, only came to meet after the disguise, and at this time she has taken off all her disguises and has taken on a new look.

She has medium-length dark brown hair that naturally hangs down, and a more sweet face than before, wearing a beige balloon sleeve top, a gray knee-length skirt, white socks, and black canvas shoes. Compared to an informant walking in the black zone, she is more like a schoolgirl on the go. The most difficult thing to ignore is that there are a pair of round, fluffy, dark brown ears like bears on the top of her head.

There is no doubt that she is a "subhuman".

The origin of subhumans refers directly to the ancestors of mankind.

The ancestors who lived in ancient times generally worshipped nature and animals, believing that animals were closer to nature than humans, so after the few ancestors awakened their spiritual energy, the spiritual energy would follow this strong yearning and give the body the power and appearance characteristics of animals.

This change is not limited to the ancestral generation, but will also be passed on to the next generation.

Although the strength part cannot be inherited, the part of the physical trait can be inherited in the genes. In the vast majority of cases, these genes will not be expressed, but once they are expressed, they will show a different appearance from normal people. The reason why Adam now has a pair of bear ears is undoubtedly because her ancestors gave them the power of bears with psionic energy.

And if her ancestor had the power of a fish, she might have grown the face of a fish — though I've only seen examples of this on the news.

Suddenly, Adam's bear ears shook rapidly, and she looked back as if she were walking alone on the night road in fear of the dark, and coldly heard a strange movement behind her.

I immediately withdrew my gaze and hid myself behind the vending machine.

By the time I looked back at her, she had turned around and walked some distance forward.

Well, it seems that she didn't notice me.

I quietly followed.

If it were someone else, I might not have found out that this woman was actually Adam, but I was different.

I am both an experienced disguiser and a trained martial artist, and people like me have an extremely deep understanding of the human body and the way it moves.

During the conversation with her and Hasegawa, I observed very carefully and firmly remembered the physical details of these two people, such as height, weight, length of arms and legs, standing and walking posture, such as the length and sharpness of fingernails, the rate of blinking and breathing, and whether to step on the left foot or the right foot when going out...... I had all the details that set them apart from the rest.

These inconspicuous details may seem difficult to come in handy, but they are not.

The last time I used the spray to stun the woman who was hypnotized by the sheepskin killer, I caught the frequency of her breathing, and if I picked up the jar and sprayed it, maybe the other party was exhaling, and then I was able to react, hold my breath, and I wouldn't inhale the spray.

And if you can remember whether someone else takes the left foot or the right foot first when they go out, you can come in handy when you are hiding behind the door to raid the psyker, specifically, it is to predict the posture of the opponent at the moment of passing through the door, calculate the amount of advance, and then suddenly strike a ruthless hand - the speed of the psyker is very fast, if you don't have the skill of predicting the action and calculating the amount of advance, even the sheepskin killer can easily kill me.

For example, now, the reason why I can see that the woman in front of me is Adam is because of this ability.

I followed Adam as I observed the terrain around me, then suddenly accelerated, and without Adam noticing me, went around to her side, took out my phone, and took a few pictures of her covertly.

When I was done, I pulled out of her neighborhood and contacted the drone.

He answered my call.

"Do you have any commissions this time?"

"I need you to investigate someone's identity." I say.

"Who do you want to kill?"

"I'm talking about 'investigation.'"

"We must be old friends, right? I don't have to pretend with me. He smiled and said, "Haven't you just retired for a whole year, and finally your hands are itching, and you want to kill someone to warm your body?" I'll arrange it for you. But your brother also has to settle accounts, and you can't default on your payment. The sound of the keyboard could be heard faintly, "I thought you would choose the sheepskin killer, but is it a bit too risky to kill the prey of a suspected psyker just after returning?" ”

"The Sheepskin Killer is dead."

"Uh......" He suddenly froze, and the keyboard sound was gone, and after a while, he asked slowly, "Is he a psyker?" ”

"Yes."

"......" he made the sound of air leaking through the gaps between his teeth, as if he had suddenly eaten something spicy.

"Also, I think you misunderstood me." Considering that drones are an informant that I will need to work with a lot in the future, I think I should perhaps clear up the misunderstanding a little bit, instead of blindly portraying "I'm fierce" as if I were treating other Black Zone residents, "Actually, I'm not that interested in killing." ”

"Oh...... I know, I know......" He seemed to go in and out of his left ear, and then asked, "So, who do you want me to investigate?" ”

This misunderstanding didn't seem to be easy to clarify, so I had to give up first and get to the point, "I'll send you the photos of the subject of the investigation later, and you can investigate as much detail as you can." ”

"Let me ask you one more question, is it Adam who you want to investigate?" He changed to a serious tone.

"Yes." I don't hide it here, although admitting this matter will greatly increase the amount of commission, but for him, investigating "ordinary black zone residents" and investigating "peers" are also two different things in terms of difficulty.

If I conceal it for the sake of greed, it will reduce his efficiency in doing things, and at the same time, it will also reduce my own credit.

"Give me some time." He finally accepted my commission and hung up.

That night, Xu Shengxing still didn't go home.

The next day, in the morning.

I woke up and cleaned the house, then sat down on the bed and got into thought.

Although it has been decided to investigate the mysterious organization with Adam and Hasegawa, if there is no breakthrough, there is nowhere to exert force. The only clue "sheepskin killer" has been killed by me, and the corpse has been thrown out of this universe by me, and the new clue will not fall from the sky on its own, what should I do next?

Empathy, if I were Adam, or Hasegawa, what direction would I look for a breakthrough?

Suddenly, I thought of a very bad possibility and immediately contacted Adam.

When she got through, I immediately asked, "Where are you?" ”

Before she could answer, I heard the faint sound of a car coming from across my phone, so I changed the question, "You're on your way to find the body of the sheepskin killer, aren't you?" ”

"Yes." She said.

"I've already said that his body isn't anywhere in the world anymore?"

"Yes." She repeated.

"You should stop the operation immediately."

"I can't understand your advice." "The Sheepskin Killer is the only breakthrough we have now, and even if you're telling the truth, his body was 'eaten by the air,' we should at least look for his relics, such as the ones he used to carry during his lifetime." As long as he has this item in his hands, Hasegawa will be able to use his psychic technology to divinate things related to the sheepskin killer, so as to catch the tail of the mysterious organization. ”

"But you can also end up dead because of it." I admonished, "Listen, I'll just say it once - I used some of the more 'special' methods when I killed the Sheepskin Killer. Unfortunately, I can't elaborate on what it is, but it involves my own secrets, and we haven't been able to build a relationship of trust that would allow us to share important secrets. Therefore, I can only say that if a 'medium' with a strong inspiration, such as Hasegawa, suddenly runs to the place where I killed the sheepskin killer for divination and channeling, or in other words, comes into contact with some relic of the sheepskin killer, he is likely to 'see' something that he should not see, and thus lead to some bad consequences that may never be undone. ”

I don't think Adam would have been able to find the "crime scene" where I killed the sheepskin killer, but it was because she could easily find it that I had to be warned.

Whether it's Adam as an informant or Hasegawa as a psychic medium, they are both "sweaty horses" who collect intelligence, and I am just a stupid donkey in comparison. While I've never felt like they were trustworthy companions, I must admit that without them, I wouldn't have been able to track down the hinterland of the mysterious organization alone.

She cautiously asked, "What should not be seen, what do you mean exactly?" ”

"I can't describe it either."

"Is it an abstract thing that can't be expressed in words?" She also seemed to have some psychic knowledge, and from her suddenly serious tone, I could tell that she was aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes."

"Can you give me a specific boundary?" She pondered for a moment, then asked, "What we can and can't investigate, I hope you can provide a clear standard." ”

"I can't provide it." I said, "But you'd better go back at once, and don't even get close." ”

"I see. I'll tell him the truth. She said with a good attitude.

Our call is over.

However, it backfired.

When I saw Hasegawa again, he had already been admitted to the hospital and being held in a makeshift isolation ward.
