Chapter 57: The Night Stalker's Resentment
Forest of Secret Words, the crash site of the airship. The night stalker's interrogation has been completed, and the captain lying on the ground is already completely skinny, and the interrogation process is so miserable that the soldiers under the night stalker can't look at it directly.
The night owl stretched out his lone hand, and the vice-captain hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the blood from his hands.
"Interesting, I didn't expect to get much more information than I expected. The night owl laughed as he turned back to look at the upper reaches of the river, where there was a faint waterfall.
This is where Jean and Snow Marks hide.
There are about 200 meters from here to the waterfall, and the reason why the night owl team did not search the waterfall before was because of the long distance, and they had limited manpower, so they scattered the search centered on the airship crash site, and the waterfall has not been searched because of the large range.
However, from the interrogation just now, the night stalker learned that two soldiers from a nearby outpost had been attacked here. (The transmitter they carried with them showed that they had been attacked between the crash site and the falls, and that the two had accidentally drowned while drifting down the river, and their bodies were found by the garrison who had arrived to investigate the crash.) After cross-checking and analyzing with other known information, the Night Stalker has found the most likely hiding place for Jean.
Through interrogation, the Night Stalker also learned a lot more about the country. Some of them have come up with a lot of useful information after his analysis.
The night owls quickly approached the waterfall and surrounded it at once, and even above the waterfall, there were several people standing.
"Lieutenant, take a look at it with your abilities. The Night Stalker instructed the vice-captain.
"Yes!" The vice-captain looked at the waterfall intently, he is also an ability, his ability itself is not special, but the basic skills are very solid, so sometimes he can play a big role, such as now.
Mental power is like this, the basic skills can stand out as well, and when the basic skills are at the peak, the weakness of the ability itself can also be made up to a certain extent, and he is exactly like this, and he is particularly good at investigation.
The Night Stalker has no strength in reconnaissance, and his ability to kill is strong. So at this time, he also has to rely on the expertise of the vice-captain.
"She's inside, two meters high, there's a cave!" the vice-captain pointed near the center of the waterfall, "and she's lying in the hole, as if asleep." Beside him, there is also a child of the same age and unknown ability. ”
In the cave, Jean is falling into a deep sleep. Lying next to him were snow marks. The two of them were sleeping like babies at this time.
Aren't they in Jerusalem? How could they be here?
"Asleep?" the night stalker repeated.
Do the capable fall asleep in front of their enemies?
"Captain, I'll lead people to rush in, take them down while they are defenseless!"
The Night Stalker responded with a sneer.
"She's the one who killed Maxim, do you think you're an opponent?"
"But they are defenseless now......"
"We've made such a big noise outside, if it were you, would you fall asleep?"
"Hmm...... No, so Captain, you mean it's a trap? Let's search the neighborhood first?"
"Search?" the night owl pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed, his burned face even more terrifying.
"There is a story in the East, called the empty city plan, the side defending the city opens the door, so it sets up a suspicious array, taking advantage of the other party's suspicion and delaying time. If she was thinking about it...... Do you think I'll give her that time?"
I have to say that the night owl's judgment is very correct, although this is not an empty city plan set up by Qin, but Qin does need time now, and she is rushing back non-stop.
The Night Stalker sneered, and from his left sleeve, a trace of almost transparent powder continued to spill out.
It's his ability – to create toxins.
In the battle with the Snow Country's soldiers just now, it was precisely because of the night owl's unwitting poisoning operation that the opponent quickly lost its combat effectiveness.
The Night Stalker is able to create several different toxins, some can make people unconscious, some can make people's skin fester, and they are painful, these toxins are powerful, varied, can be used in a variety of combat environments, and are not easy to detect, so they have played a very large role in his previous battles, and can be said to be invincible.
He had used a tear gas-like toxin against the Snowpiercer Garrison team, but now he released a lethargic toxin. The powders are colorless and odorless, very difficult to spot, and they float towards the back of the waterfall as if they were alive, regardless of the direction of the wind.
The toxin can dive a person unconscious within seconds of being inhaled, and the night owl prepares to launch a surprise attack after the opponent is asleep.
"Whether she slept real or fake, let her sleep a little deeper. ”
According to the night owl's estimate, if Jean was pretending to sleep, then now that the poisonous smoke was approaching, she would definitely run out of the hole immediately to fight to the death.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see the piano come out.
"Is there a back door to the cave?" the night stalker asked the lieutenant.
"No, it's a one-way hole, it's shallow. The adjutant looked at the waterfall again and said.
"Very good...... It looks like they're really asleep, and if they can still fall asleep at the moment of the strong enemy, then there's only one possibility - this is their safe house!"
"Safe house?" asked the vice-captain curiously.
"When the teacher was going to 'Jerusalem,' he would fall asleep in the safe house...... But this safe house is really basic. The night owl looked up and down the waterfall and said critically.
The vice-captain listened quietly.
"They must be in Jerusalem right now. Do you know Jerusalem?" the night owl was no longer in a hurry, and from the time his poisonous smoke surrounded the cave, he was sure that the harp was already in his hands.
"Is it the city that was destroyed in the Great War?" asked the vice-captain tentatively.
"In this material world, Jerusalem has been destroyed. But on another level, a new Jerusalem was rebuilt. The teachers refer to it as the New Jerusalem, and now they refer to Jerusalem generally referring to the new city. That was the headquarters of their teacher, and it was a pure spiritual city!"
"Spiritual City?"
"That's right! Nian Shi can mentally leave the body, enter this city, no matter how far away he is, he can communicate in that city instantly, and he can also study and train. ”
The night owl said this, taking a deep breath, his eyes were deep, as if he was remembering something unpleasant, and there was a subtle look of anger on his face.
He was angry because he remembered that when he was younger, he had also longed to join the Zunshi Order, but on the pilgrimage path he was "guided" - his teacher, who discovered evil thoughts in his heart and refused to take him into Jerusalem on this ground.
So, he is not a teacher.
