Chapter 726: Tracing the Trace

Jenny doesn't have a complete understanding of the Witches' Secret Society.

But Kane is different, he is an old Jianghu, and he has seen any kind of cult or hunting mode.

The one in front of me is a relatively common category.

Two transformer males with five big and three thick are servants, and Amy is not really the master.

There is only one true master, and that is the leader of this Secret Society, and in general, this leader is the most powerful, and at the same time the founder of the Secret Society.

Such secret societies are somewhat like vampire societies and family systems.

The leader is the head of the family, and the other witches have a class of chicks, youngsters, youths, and adults.

The division is generally not too strict, and the float is relatively large, this is because witches are mainly bloodline, and some bloodlines are strong, once they go the right way, the strength will be raised, so the strong are respected, and the reach is the first, today's Cinderella may not be a princess tomorrow.

If you go into more detail, you will have to say more.

For example, as the supreme leader, the founder's mind and ideas determine the pattern of the secret society, and some will lock other members into dogs through secret methods, either resisting, or no matter how talented they are, no matter how hard they try, they have to rely on others.

Others are sororities. Similar to the abyss world Kane?? What Sun encountered was the Sisterhood, which seemed to be more humane, although the authority of the leader was obviously great, but it did not fall out of the category of interaction between monarchs and ministers and became masters and slaves.

Kane guessed that it was this kind of sorority that he had encountered this time.

The two manservants were borrowed, and as for how to use them, if you think about it, that's about it.

In fact, once it is reduced to the point where it can only rely on the stimulation of taboos to produce a sense of pleasure, to a certain extent, it is like the priest that Rohan saw in the broken world forcibly squeezing the people's faith, and is on the verge of collapse.

Anyway, when I encounter this combination of debauchery + evil, I come in, play more than adding drugs, and don't forget to extract the essence of life from others when I climax, and the person who is pumped is very easy to die suddenly, maybe when I will die of organ failure because of a little trivial reason, which is very similar to the kind of exhaustion and death.

Therefore, it can be said that this witch secret society is very vicious, and in a place like a university that cultivates the backbone of society, creating a large number of scum that is prone to sudden death, premature aging, and excessive indulgence of living habits is simply discharging toxic sewage into society.

However, Kane didn't have time to worry about the country and the public for the time being, and he wanted to get Lana out of the cesspool first.

So he pulled Amy's head, and after a golden needle, Amy was alive again.

"Amy, you've probably heard the cool saying that death is just the beginning. Now that statement falls to you. By obedience and cooperation, you will be liberated, and on the contrary, you will taste the soul that has been dissolved little by little in the ultimate torment, and completely dissolved into nothingness. ”

Kane has always been a combination of knowledge and action, not only to say, but also to follow.

So, even if Amy didn't fully understand how she died, she now fully understands what kind of horrific and murderous powerhouses she has encountered.

A low-level witch like her, who usually bullies ordinary people with some half-ineffective small means, is so determined that she is not even as good as a well-trained soldier, let alone compared to the level of an agent, so she was quickly instigated by Kane, who knows everything and says everything.

After a quick completion of a dozen questions and answers.

"Good, right now, I need a dog. Kane said and waved his hand, manipulating the power of the fire element, using the principle of heating air to form convective winds, using corpse ashes as a material to create a simple body maintained by magic.

This is considered a thaumaturgy in alchemy, and only Kane, who is extremely familiar with the structure of human body functions, can create a vivid corpse body.

One of the most technically difficult is the neuro-like connection, which allows Amy to control the body.

The technique of stimulating the sense of smell with acupuncture to make it more sensitive to certain smells than dogs is much simpler.

Amy became a dog with a human head, found a dress to put on, and left the dormitory with Kane and Jenny.

This bedroom belongs to Amy, and there is a special secret passage to facilitate some shady things. But this time it's not a secret passage, because the secret passage is connected to the underground facilities of the Witches' Secret Society, where there are basically 24 hours of people, and there are still a lot of people, and Kane has no time to visit there or brush people's heads now.

First, I went to Lana's bedroom, which was also on the third floor, and asked Amy to smell the residual body odor on Lana's bed. Then go straight down to the third floor through a window in the hallway.

That's how Kane came here before, and with the help of the magical version of the Batman-like zipline, the average cornice walking is not a problem.

This time, Kane took Jenny in his arms and completed a flying descent in the style of Hanging Wia.

The trio then drove to the library in the university town.

Like most universities, there are fewer afternoon classes, and at this point in time, people are long out of the building. However, Lana is really studying for a diploma, so she has the habit of going to the library to read tutorial books and take notes to review her homework.

As a result, it didn't happen.

Lana had been here, but had left.

Kane didn't let Amy ask the librarian. Because if he is not mistaken, the 40-year-old woman with the characteristics of a cold and ascetic woman is a very powerful witch, and there is a considerable possibility that she will find out about Amy's situation, and he has no intention of fighting the other party in such a public place.

Amy was surprised by this, "Margaret, she turned out to be a witch too?"

Kane snorted, the bit of extraordinary information that Amy had was basically hollowed out by him, and he naturally knew that the apparent stability of this university was achieved precisely because of the entanglement of the extraordinary power of more than one faction. There are a few high-level witches at Amy's level who don't know about it, and it's normal.

Speaking of which, Kane kind of wanted to smash Lana's ass.

Perhaps out of curiosity, this decrepit girl did not really give up on the exploration of the mystery. She came here to school because she had dug up information from Sam's work diary.

The university was linked to an early case that Sam was involved in investigating, but ended in a perfunctory manner. It can be said that the witches who used this school as a stronghold taught Sam a lesson and made him return home.

Sam was haunted by this, and when he grew up, he would collect information about the place, re-study what had happened to him, and conclude that the main supernatural force here was the followers of Sab Nicholas.

Sam should have mentioned this to Kevin, but Kevin was not personally involved in it, and the memory was still a little shallow after all, and it belonged to the part that Kane forgot when he took over the body, and it turned out to be a cognitive loophole. I only knew that there was such a thing, but the specific details were lost, and now I have reconnected some of them.

In Kane's view, Lana's choice is the most deadly path. This is because the principle of 'Hades is aggressive, but the imps are difficult' also applies to the world of the old branch system.

The difference between the life level of the old rulers and human beings is too great, just like people don't pay attention to mayflies dying in the twilight of life, unless they are learning from mosquitoes, trying to make up, or catching up with some big event, the two basically have no intersection.

The real troubles are such as dependents and heirs, and the most hateful of them are cults, cultists have the characteristics of human thinking patterns, and also have desires that human beings can interpret. And as a victim of such an act, how miserable it will be, it is really possible to think about what you want.

Investigators, in most cases, are wrestling with these scum who eat the most of the danders of the evil god, and no matter how advanced they are, they basically meet and die, and they don't deserve to be their enemies at all.

Therefore, a young and beautiful girl has to jump into this kind of year-old pit, and this girl is the kind that can't be regarded as a passerby because she is related to you, you can imagine how angry you must be.

There's no one in the library, so it's a bit of a clue, maybe they've been kidnapped, maybe they're just going to dinner with friends, or maybe they're attending some event?

The most disgusting part is that it is raining now, which dilutes the smell to a considerable extent, and it is impossible to track the smell but only to determine the location first.

In this case, Amy provides a useful piece of information that Lana is befriending a girl named Angel and is almost inseparable.

Angel is in a state of work-study and should be working at a fast-food restaurant in a college town, and perhaps she knows where Lana is.

Before there is a clearer clue, I can only go to find this Anqi.

Angel was indeed at the fast food restaurant and provided important information, Angel said that Lana had dinner here, and then went to the club with a few acquaintances.

Amy's targeted sense of smell did smell Lana in a fast food restaurant, and Anqi's words were basically credible.

But it is precisely because of this that new problems arise.

According to Angel, the club that Lana joins is a storytelling club. The main activity is storytelling.

At first glance, it didn't sound like much, but Kane was thoughtful and asked Angel if she knew what the story was.

Angel said it was a horror story.

Kane was a 'groan' in his heart.

He asked Angel if she had been involved, and Angel said yes, although she was not a member of the club, she had played with Lana a few times.

Kane said, can you tell the impressive story in a nutshell, just in three words.

Angel pondered for a moment, organized the language, and spoke a short paragraph.

Kane said in his heart, "Sure enough!"

As far as the style of the story is concerned, it is clearly biased towards folk anecdotes rather than the kind of made-up stories in books.

How do you tell the difference?

Fabricated stories are often more logical, with clear causes and consequences, and ins and outs.

Anecdotes are different, there are often shortages, and even not very smooth, mainly relying on key plots to get people, strange, curious, and even grotesque.

In this world, many real things that have happened are hidden in this kind of strange story, plus it is terrifying, most of it is a Cthulhu story.

Once he has this understanding, Kane has a rough idea of what this reading story club will look like. Its members presumably collect weird stories through various channels and share them together. According to Kane's conspiracy theorists, there should be no shortage of members who listen to the truth.

Lana is obviously one, she should not just listen to it, but as a way to open her eyes and understand the mysterious events.

Such a society is not harmless to humans and animals in Kane's eyes, but must be labeled as dangerous and deadly.

What's worse is that because it is a relatively niche non-mainstream club, they have not been able to apply for the activity room from the school, and the activity funds are very small, and it is the members who share part of the cost to support the club activities.

Activity rooms, on the other hand, are more random, mostly provided by members, and sometimes combined with outings, such as places with good scenery around the city, or the opposite of deserted places.

Because of this, Angel didn't know where the specific address of this event was, but she heard the boy who drove to pick up Lana and them shouting: "This event point is definitely delicious!"

According to Kane's thinking, most of the 'flavorful' places used to accompany the telling of horror stories are abandoned houses and haunted houses. Coupled with the stormy weather today, it really creates a first-class atmosphere.

And then the clue was broken again, a huge city, where to find this?

Kane didn't leave in a hurry this time, and he couldn't come in a hurry, so he pondered more to see if there was anything missing.

He ordered food, and then took out a map of the city, maybe the urban pattern can bring some inspiration?

The food at this fast food restaurant tastes good, just the right meal, and even if there is wind and rain, there are still many people who eat.

After waiting for a while, the meal was served, Jenny had no appetite, one arm propped up on the table, her cheek was supported with her hand, and she looked out the window in a daze.

Kane was also a little upset, the city map didn't give him inspiration, and he could now be said to know that Lana was in danger, but he couldn't come up with an effective solution.

His self-control ability is strong enough, even if he doesn't know the taste of food, he still chews and eats slowly, and impatience can't solve the problem, but the nutritional intake is not enough, and he is more likely to have problems.

While eating, Angel came over and introduced Kane and Jenny to a boy.

"Hello two, I'm Quinta?? Gint, I heard from Angel that you are Lana's family, and if you have something urgent to find her, maybe I can help. ”

Kane stood up to shake hands and addressed Mr.

The black guy was very talkative, saying, "That's so polite, just call me Quinta ......"

According to Quint, the student who drove Lana up had a good relationship with his roommate, who worked as a pizza delivery part-time worker.

This guy talked to him about an incident not long ago, saying that he sent a pizza order, and found that it was a group of poor students partying in a rather magnificent villa (the so-called foreign restaurant), so he had a mouthful, so he learned that the old owner of this big villa had no heirs, and after the death of the emergency, the villa was inherited by his distant relatives.

The heirs are a pair of young brothers and sisters, who became rich overnight, and have no friends here, and live in a big house, so they rent out some rooms at an unbelievably low price, only for short-term rentals, no more than 48 hours at most.

Quint also relayed some of his roommate's descriptions of the interior of the villa, in general, except for a little old, nothing else, very luxurious and classy, what natural marble floors, large crystal chandeliers, everything, the palace is general......

Kane thanked Quint very sincerely, and gave Quint a business card of his own, saying that he could contact him if necessary, the cost price.

After that, he threw down the unfinished meal, paid the bill and drove away.

Seeing the car driven by Kane disappear into the misty street on a rainy night, Quint pinched the corner of the business card Kane gave him, and unconsciously gently slapped the palm of his other hand, and the corners of his mouth curled.

Turning around and chatting with his buddies and saying hello to Angel, Quint left the fast-food restaurant, pulled up his hood, bent his shoulders and pockets, trotted briskly along the road, and entered a phone booth nearby.

Dial the number, "Hey, Brother Jamie, me, Quint, it's done." Yes, a man and a woman, the man also gave me a business card, saying that there was business to find him, and only the cost was charged. Kevin?? Fox. Uh-huh, okay, thank you Brother Jamie!"

Quint hung up the phone with a happy face, hummed a little song and turned to push the door, and then the whole person and even his expression froze. Kane stood outside the phone booth, looking at him calmly.

"This ......" was so abrupt that Quint couldn't even make up a lie, so he could only smile awkwardly, his eyes roll, and his heart said, "What the hell is this!?"

In fact, he has too many flaws, which has long aroused Kane's suspicions.

First of all, Kane's vigilance is very high.

Secondly, Kane always had a countdown in his head.

In Jenny's private practice, it was he who had done it to the female patient, and he knew the severity of it, and he knew when the pretender would wake up.

The first stop he and Jenny make when they arrive in the city is Lana's dormitory, but not only did they not pounce, but they were also delayed because of the Witches' Secret Society.

According to Kane's calculations, the impostor woke up while he was still on his way to the library.

In other words, the best case scenario is to find Lana in the library, so even if he already has the Atonement Sect by his side, it is not a big problem, he is confident that he has the ability to take the tiger's mouth.

The library didn't find Lana either, and the situation took a turn for the worse. Against this backdrop, Kane's vigilance is even higher.

Again, Kane's professional ability is not comparable even to the so-called secret agents, as soon as he enters the fast food restaurant, who are the people in the store, where the entrance and exit are, these are all included in the memory.

Then, the seat he chose was actually very particular, although he sat there, his eyes did not squint, but in fact, he kept looking at everything around him with the corner of his eye, and at the same time regurgitated the memories recorded in the duty.

After this digestion process, he not only determined every face in the fast food restaurant, but even had quite a lot of speculation about what they were, what they did, etc., which were all drawn through the analysis of details such as clothing, mannerisms, demeanor, small movements, etc., and then made observations and comparisons.

At that time, Kane had already discovered Quinte's existence, including his slightly anxious eyes at the beginning, and the surprise and small excitement that flashed on his face after seeing him and Angel talk.

In the end, Kane rarely believes in coincidence.

It was when I was at a loss, and someone happened to know about it, and I was so lucky to send a pedal ladder?

Kane didn't believe it.

Therefore, if Quint didn't jump out, then Kane wouldn't have played the brutal cross-examination that would rather kill by mistake and never miss, but Quint jumped out, and Kane played the self-cultivation of an actor and came to such a play very cooperatively.

"500, tell me about Jamie. Kane pulled out his wallet and pulled out five of the rather thick hundred-dollar bills.

Quint's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Kane took out another 5 cards, "1000, if I can't make a deal, I'm going to change the way of persuasion." ”

Quint Lion opened his mouth: "3000! I'll tell you everything I know." ”

Kane smiled a little sly, "No, I've got what I want!"

Kane didn't intend to give money to Quint from the beginning, he just used this method to observe Quint's micro-expressions, confirm his emotional points and characteristics, and build a character template.

Due to the decline in strength, Kane is now unable to judge by perceiving subtle changes in the soul energy force field, but there are other ways to judge......
