Chapter 27: Hesperus
No matter what the free world thinks about Qingluan, on the surface, they are impartial, and after putting pressure on Qingluan, they even sent an investigation team.
Qingluan's mood is very complicated, but he still has to receive the other party well.
However, the people in the investigation team were not as domineering as Qingluan imagined, as if they were really here to investigate the truth, and they didn't interfere in other things at all, concentrating on investigating several attack sites.
Qingluan couldn't help but shake - maybe, is it really that I am thinking too much?
Of course, this naïve idea disappeared shortly after she received a demotion.
The leader of the investigation team was a grim-tempered man who wore a pair of scientific glasses and had the feeling of a well-dressed beast - his name was Owen Drake, a senior researcher at the Free World Institute of Paranormal Abilities.
It was two days after the attack when the investigation team arrived on Kellsiman, during which Qingluan did not tamper with anything in the spaceport because he was notified in advance to prevent damage to the scene, so when Owen took people around the spaceport, he showed a rare smile to Qingluan.
Qingluan was horrified by his laughter, others don't know, she still doesn't know, this researcher is very murderous, and it won't be long before the person he targets will be brought into the laboratory - she doesn't want to be a research subject.
Fortunately, Owen didn't have much interest in Qingluan's abilities, and he quickly reverted to his usual apathy and came to an empty square.
"It doesn't feel good to me here." A member of the investigation team stood at the exit without even stepping into the square, his long pointed ears twitching, "I advise you not to go in either." ”
The Resferan researcher seemed to be quite authoritative, and many of them stopped when they heard her words, except for Owen, who didn't seem to sense anything, and walked leisurely to the center of the square with a small suitcase.
He closed his eyes, as if sensing something, and the others saw that he had entered the working state, and immediately became serious, not daring to make any sound, waiting for his instructions.
After a few moments, Owen opened his eyes, opened the box, quickly assembled a machine, and then briskly retreated to the exits, easily filling up a mental force field at each exit.
The machine flew around the empty plaza, circling and circling until half an hour later.
And by this time, the square had undergone a strange change.
On the mirror-like ground, black shadows appeared one after another, distributed irregularly, some close to the exit, some in the middle of the square.
As time passed, the dark shadow became clearer, and it was ...... A human figure.
It is clear that there was once a great battle here, where dozens of people fought each other, and each dark shadow represented a dead person.
The researchers shook their heads in disbelief, and had already taken out various equipment to check the values.
Owen withdrew his mental force field, avoided a dark shadow not far away, and walked straight to the near machine, and the rest of the researchers also walked in with their discomfort and began to concentrate on their work.
They knew very well that the absence of corpses here did not mean that those bodies had been dragged away, but rather that they were ...... It was broken down on the spot by someone with an ability.
It's disgusting to think about.
Owen disassembled the machine and put it back in the box, and he stood up and looked around.
Although the battle situation here can be analyzed after they have collected the data and returned to the institute, it is ...... Inexplicably, he always felt that something he had overlooked.
Owen was a scientist, but a scientist also valued his instincts, and he walked over to the Resfern researcher and whispered a few words.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Resf'an Researcher's face, but she finally nodded and agreed to his request.
When all the collection was complete, everyone exited the plaza, except for the Resferan researchers.
She stood in the center of the square, and a faint layer of green light centered on her quickly spread out, covering the entire square. Even the walls and ceilings were not missed.
In the green light, there seemed to be small grass sprouts, and they quickly joined together, shaking the leaves, and faintly whispering could be heard.
The Resfern researcher "listened" in annoyance, and it took a good hour to put the ability away.
The green light cleared, and not far from the Resflian researchers, a string of words appeared on the ground - Resfrian, "Heresy".
"Heretical ......"
Owen walked in as soon as the green light disappeared, and he pronounced the word in Resf'an and fell into deep thought.
It's something he's been feeling missing, but he can't remember what it is for a while.
After thinking for five minutes, Owen's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief when he looked at the word - this is [Hesperus]!
Hesperus, also known as the Faint Book, is one of his most confusing and unanalyzable abilities, first appearing thirteen years ago on the night of Katarina.
"Caterina Night" is a grand festival of Catalina in the Chaos Star Field, on this night, Catalina will hold a carnival, and the inhabitants of the entire planet will be plunged into a sea of revelry, drinking and singing, and even taking psychotropic drugs, it is a literal dream night.
Thirteen years ago, on the night of Katarina, everything was the same as before, but when dawn came, the residents of Catalina woke up from their revelry and were horrified to find that the Katerina Star Lord's mansion had been silently wiped out - along with everyone who was in the mansion at the time.
At that time, he also went to investigate this matter, and finally found only a black piece of paper, which was identified as some kind of special ability weapon, and the paper said [Hesperus], which represents the word "Evening Star", which became the name of this mysterious ability.
However, because it is a piece of paper, some people call it a "faint book".
"I didn't expect to see Hesperus again after many years......"
Owen removed the line with a special technique, and it quickly turned into a black piece of paper, almost exactly the same as the one he had seen years ago.
"Just by getting this faint book, this investigation is worth it."
As a scientist specializing in the study of abilities, Owen is full of curiosity about the nature, origin, and characteristics of all abilities in this world.
"This time we should be able to roughly lock in the identity of the owner of this ability...... Oh, could it be that Alicia? A cold light flashed under Owen's glasses, "I need this subject......"
