Chapter 12: The Mask of Darkness
In the cool and soft night breeze, the three-colored moonlight shines on the outline of the city, and the clouds are like a canvas for mixing colors, impregnated layer by layer, the paint spreads along the city lights, and the clouds of the canopy also change shape. The moonlight poured through the shadows of the building without reservation—the heavy lights weaved into five-colored bands of light, and the night breeze spread to the courtyard like a washed transparent satin, with clear ripples.
“......”
At the top of the tower, Ivan sat with his legs in a blurred silhouette, as if to merge with the orange moon. Looking down at the eastern part of the city, his dark eyes sparkle in the night.
The night sky of the complex city fell into his eyes, splitting from point to line in an instant, and hundreds of buildings shrank proportionally, reflecting in his pupils. The clear moonlight swept the world like water waves, and every ray of light would fall into his eyes—as if they had taken the place of the three moons, and they could see the entire city from above.
With the condensation of Ivan's eyes, a faint cyan color, over the thin clouds, completely blended into the moonlight, crossed half the sky, and stabbed towards an apartment in the Grey Castle Manor. The walls that insulate the vision become transparent ripples at this moment, and the entire apartment is clearly exposed from the internal structure to the occupancy status.
"Two men, one woman...... The appearance is exactly the same as that of the orange, but the demeanor and ecology are completely different. If nothing else, this guy should be Claire, and sure enough, I can't tell the depth at all......"
Evan turned his attention away from the female killer and focused on the other two men in the apartment: "One is a sissy with no combat power, and the other is a rookie who has not yet condensed the soul fire. It seems that Tachibana is not lying...... The main target is the Joker, whether it's Tachibana or Claire, who have no subjective ill will towards me. ”
"In this case, as long as I kill the clown and the civilian who is engaged in intelligence infiltration, I will win!"
Thinking of this, Ivan stood up from the steel frame of the signal tower, jumped forward, and disappeared into the night like a swooping bat.
One by one, one by one
In the dimly lit room, the clown wanted to test Claire's state when he suddenly reached out and pulled off the buttons of her shirt on her chest. As her shirt was ripped off, she lowered her gaze, her watery eyes rolling over the other.
The female killer is about 1.8 meters tall naked, which is very tall from a female point of view and can be intimidating to a large percentage of men. In addition, she wore a pair of seven-centimeter high heels, and standing in front of her partner, she looked half a head taller.
The clown grabbed her single ponytail hanging from her neck and pulled it hard, forcing Claire to hang down her fair neck:
"Do you know who I am!?"
There was a tearing pain in the female assassin's hair, and she subconsciously lowered her head knowing that someone was grabbing her hair. She lowered her head, and her eyes appeared on a face wearing a white mask, and the other party was grabbing her hair at the moment, asking herself in a stern tone.
“......”
Claire's pupils slowly dilated, and she gradually saw the outline of the clown, and wisps of memories also came to her mind.
"Do you remember who you are?"
The female killer's chin was gently raised by the clown, her eyes squinted slightly at each other, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she said with a gentle smile: "I am your partner, the killer of the organization, and a tool for absolute obedience to orders." ”
"Very good, very good. ”
The clown watched her expression and slowly loosened her hair.
Claire spun around her neck and flung the long ponytail that hung from her chest to her back, revealing her black dog collar, which she held high with her head held high. Looking at the clown's eyes, he also changed from gentle to serious, and his tone became serious...
"Master, in order to complete the task, you must take good care of me, and be careful not to be snatched away by others. ”
"Less nonsense!"
The clown turned and walked to the half-open door in front of him, and after stepping out of the threshold, he turned and closed the door: "Until you get my orders, you will stay here quietly, and you will not go anywhere!"
One by one, one by one
After leaving the room where Claire was restrained, the Joker went to the wine cabinet in the hall and took a large sip of the bottle, then turned around and walked to the study on the right.
In the study, the blonde youth was sorting out some written documents, and when he saw him walk in, he reached out and made a gesture to sit down.
“......”
Without saying a word, the clown walked to the couch and sat down stiffly, his gaze cast vertically to the floor, as if he was deep in thought.
"Why don't you try to be gentle with Clea?"
The blonde youth sorted out the paperwork, stacked them neatly into the drawers, closed the combination lock again, and suddenly broke the silence of the room.
"Agents can't have feelings for tools. ”
Little Scandal Yan raised his head, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and looked at the crystal clear liquid in the brown glass bottle: "Maybe it's because I'm not mature enough to envelop her with a warm side, so I have to wear this mask...... Only in this way can I give orders without any scruples. ”
"Even if you can't face Claire, at least tally—huh!?" After the blonde youth closed the combination lock, he was about to persuade the other party when he suddenly felt the wall on his right side shake.
"There is a situation!"
The clown stood up from the couch vigilantly, and instantly stepped back twice, his back against the wall to observe the wall directly to the east.
Boom ——!
At this moment, the wall in the eastern part of the room shook again, and cracks suddenly filled the entire wall. And right behind the clown, the smooth and smooth wall suddenly burst open, and a golden palm like steel quenching came out, pinching his head.
Click————!
Five iron-like fingers rotated at the same time, twisting clockwise, and the clown's cervical vertebrae were completely broken.
"Gram...... Léa ......"
His head hung on his body, and he exhaled the last syllable with all his might, and the light in his vision instantly dissipated, and his mind echoed Claire's last sentence - Master, you must take good care of me, and be careful not to be snatched away by others.
Bang——!
The five fingers instantly retracted inward, and the clown's head was forcefully pinched. At the same time, the wall was forcibly broken, collapsing into a one-person-high hollow, and Evan's figure strode out of the hole, his eyes looked around and then stopped on the blonde youth:
"I'll leave you alive!"
Ivan glared at the other party coldly, and the ripples of telekinesis that could be detected by the naked eye pierced straight into his body.
The blonde youth let out a terrible scream as he struggled and shook wildly. But to no avail, a series of crisp explosions came from the space, and his limbs were all twisted into twisted shapes at this moment.
"In this way, the crisis is resolved. ”
Ivan leaned over to take the ring from the ring finger of the clown's left hand, pinched it in his hand, and walked over to the blonde youth. Reaching out and holding the back of his neck, he lifted him up as if he were carrying a broken sack:
"Don't forget to kill yourself, under my control, you can count me as a loser if you blink an eye. ”
"Hehehe...... Hahahaha!"
The blonde young man lowered his head, and suddenly burst into a low laugh, his expression was twisted and tears flowed out, and his whole body was shaking with laughter: "You made a big mistake, you actually killed the agent first, you killed Claire's agent! Now Claire is free, but don't think she will forget her mission! She will turn into a nightmare, pestering you day and night, eating you! Until you are exhausted!"
"Shut up for me. Ivan strode forward impassively, forcing him to shut his mouth with a telekinetic force.
One by one, one by one
Pushing open the door of the room on the other side of the hall, the dimly lit space was empty, the air was still filled with a faint scent, and Clea's figure was long gone.
Evan walked into the room with the blonde youth, and after a closer look, he found a broken black metal collar on the floor. The collar was broken in two from the middle, and the crack was curled and elongated, as if it had been torn apart by some force.
"My body escaped. ”
Tachibana poked his head out of Ivan's breast pocket and looked at the collar on the floor, his gaze became complicated for a moment:
She ...... She's finally free. ”
"I don't have to catch her. ”
Ivan stretched out his hand, spread his palm flat, and watched Tangerine burrow out of his pocket and jump onto his palm: "I just want to make sure if she is still a threat to me, if you can give up the mission after your own freedom, I can leave her alone." ”
"It's a pity, host. Although she has regained her freedom, she is still the killer Niga, and the killer will not forget the mission. Tachibana bowed his head, knelt on his palm, and said calmly:
"The only way to eliminate her threat is to send me back. Now that you have the Joker's owner's ring, as long as you learn how to use it, my body will never be able to hurt you. ”
"Will you use it?"
Evan took out the ring with telekinesis and hung it around Thumbelina's snow-white neck:
"Teach me. ”
"Yes! Just do it......"
As Professor Tachibana used the ring, the blonde young man stared at Thumbelina in surprise. His pupils dilated, contracted, and finally dimmed.
One by one, one by one
"Hey, don't play dead, tell me what's going on with your organization?"
"Organization, what else can we be? Of course, the lawless who can't be brought in!" he replied with a sneer.
"All terrorist groups call themselves lawless, and to say that is tantamount to fart. Ivan threw him to the floor with a backhand, stepped forward, and stepped on the man's shoulder blades:
"If you don't want to be honest, don't blame me for making your life worse than death!"
Since the last time he experienced the events of the Mostima Rebellion, he had also adjusted to the period of lawlessness, and knew that it was a special vacuum in the Commonwealth. Once the main mining area of the Federation, it was abandoned due to the depletion of resources, and the inhabitants on it were not effectively evacuated, so it was called a field abandoned by civilization.
There, the people did not feel the blessings of civilization, nor did they have the systems and garrisons necessary to maintain law and order. As its name suggests, this is a lawless area. In the hearts of the lawless, only fists and weapons are their best protectionIn the lawless zone where force reigns supreme, Kahlert is the most powerful armed group. Although the entire team was commanded by Anthur "Eyes of Dawn" Seifer, he was never seen in public.
Because of Callert's notoriety, there are many criminals who like to do evil under the banner of the lawless, but in fact, they have nothing to do with Callert or even the real lawless.
"He's lying, our organization is not an organization of the lawless at all, but another force that cannot be brought by remote control. Tachibana took the initiative to explain at this time.
"Oh? ”
Evan looked at Thumbelina for a moment, then fell back to the blonde youth.
"The leader of the organization is called the Holy Lord, and it is a powerful demon in a sealed state with many incredible abilities. However, even if it is such a powerful demon, its power is not in its heyday, and many abilities are stripped by those who have imposed seals and scattered throughout the universe in the form of charms. Our goal is simple, to help it regain its lost power, and to create as much damage as possible to increase its power. ”
Tachibana bowed her head softly, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"The Lord also has a powerful collaborator, perhaps a servant, Tara, the Lord of Shadows, who wields nine Shadow Masks. Once you put on the mask, while gaining power, the evil thoughts in your heart will be slowly eroded by the darkness from the mask, blackening your original good face and conscience, and eventually completely engulfing the wearer's mind. The stronger the evil thoughts in the heart, the stronger the power to turn into an evil body, even the righteous and awe-inspiring people with good hearts and strong wills cannot resist the evil power of the mask, and can only slow down the speed of transformation into the devil.
Claire is the bearer of one of the masks, and has been deliberately erased from her feelings, turning her into a bloodthirsty killing machine if she invokes the power of the mask. No one knows if she'll be back next time, and every time she uses the power of the mask, it's a dangerous gamble. ”
"That's what happened......
Evan nodded thoughtfully, looked into her eyes and said, "In this case, the mask exerts influence on you, and the clown is the one who controls you?"
"You're right. Tachibana bowed her head delicately.
"And does the federal government know about you?"
"They know, but the organization's hiding is very hidden, and no one can find the Holy Lord. ”
"No one, even if you don't know?" Ivan suddenly tightened his brow.
"Tachibana doesn't know. 'Thumbelina' shook her head slightly.
