Chapter 722: Black Umbrella
There are certain qualities of the reincarnation of previous lives that affect Kane like an imprint, including his incarnation and reverberation.
For example, the Demon Modification Breath Technique.
In Kane's cognition, this is a basic ability that must be mastered.
This time, he possessed Kevin, and achieved this goal by recuperating from his injuries in 100 days.
From a perceptual point of view, he resembles an inanimate stone, and even a dog's sense of smell cannot detect his presence when the special mask is put on.
Of course, he can't cast the stealth spell yet, for a level 2 elemental mage, the stealth spell is a bit high-end, and the comprehensive index of a level 4 warrior is not enough to support him to complete the target blind spot movement with superb skill and super high speed. The purpose of stealth can only be achieved through camouflage.
That's why he chose to climb between the top frames.
The strange man who emerged from the depths of Building A did not notice Kane.
Kane didn't stop moving forward while observing them, he was more concerned about how and where these weirdos came from.
The two sides staggered, each doing their own thing.
Once again, the monsters achieved their goal with ease, the locked cell door made no sense to them, the magical Force opened the door, and with a flick of the hand, the lock turned on its own, and then opened, and they floated into the cell, tied the sleeping target to the huge cross, lifted it lightly, and left.
Kane, on the other hand, saw the last thing he wanted to see.
It's not a secret doorway, not even a two-way portal in the ordinary sense, but a deep chasm of smoke-like black light.
Such a special channel, even if Kane incarnates it, he must be carefully tested, so as not to be pitted, with his current ability, he can't even do the test, and the inadversity is a gamble on luck, even if it is not lost due to improper operation, it is very likely to be polluted by evil energy, and if there is really a kind of severe direct radiation accident, it is better to die than to die.
After much thought, Kane finally didn't take the risk, and watched as the returning monsters drifted away from the rift with their prey.
He used a miniature camera to take a lot of pictures, but this is to do his best, according to his experience, ordinary optical equipment is not enough to shoot extraordinary pictures, under the interference of extraordinary energy, the result is only a blur.
As for why the human eye can capture it, it is because human beings have souls, and the spiritual power acts on the eyes to ensure that they can see transcendent phenomena, which is actually the primitive state of perception, and all beings who are qualified to develop a sixth sense have this ability.
The next day, with the help of breakfast, Kane completed the exchange of information. In the morning, he was doing the laundry, which was not too tiring, and took time to read the new information that Paul had provided.
Part of it was the information he had collected about the Atonements, and some of it was information about the Atonements that came in from outside.
Kane only glanced at it cursory and tossed it aside. According to his observation last night, if those strange people are really from the Atonement Sect, then it is very easy for them to deceive mortals with extraordinary abilities, which means that most of the information in his hands is deliberately put out by the Atonement Sect for others to see, even if there are some truths in it, they are also hidden in a large amount of false information, which is extremely difficult to identify, so simply do not delve into it and look at it carefully, so as not to be misled.
At noon, Paul met with Kane in the bathroom and said that he had shown him the information that Kane had given him, that his entry into the Atonement Sect had gone well, that he was confident of it, and that he would be careful about the transcendental.
Kane felt that Paul still didn't pay enough attention to the information he gave, and after a little thought, he still told again: "Transcendent has incredible advantages for ordinary people. For example, there is a spell that can determine whether or not to lie by observing the characteristics of the soul force field, which is more accurate than a lie detector. And once suspected, hypnosis or even soul searching are common methods. It's because you're going so well that I'm worried that the other party will review you with this kind of magic. ”
As he spoke, he handed Paul a wax pill the size of his thumb. "This is a secret medicine prepared by the white witch I met during an investigation, and after taking it, it will make people feel mildly drunk, as well as migraines, but it can regulate the soul force field, you may use it. ”
Paul is not a pedantic person, he has been an undercover agent for more than ten years, and he has not seen strange phenomena, and he has also come into contact with some of them, so he cautiously took the secret medicine and thanked Kane.
As a result, it was the last time Kane saw Paul alive.
At dinner, the well-informed Four Eyes boasted as always, and Kane learned that in the afternoon, there had been an accident on the side of the church, the ladder had collapsed, and the three prisoners who were working on it had fallen, two dead and one seriously injured, and that Paul, one of the dead, had fallen on the metal guardrail with spear tips, and had been pierced into hanging flesh, and died on the spot.
Although he didn't see the body, Kane still felt that the accident was too strange, and Paul was probably killed.
After much thought, Kane decided to get out of prison.
First of all, he is worried about information leakage, and if he continues to be an undercover agent, not only will he not be able to find out the truth, but he will be in great danger.
Secondly, the truth of Paul's death, the unconscious prisoner, is the breakthrough. Although his current ability is not enough to forcibly search for souls, he can still do it by stimulating the target's life potential and then forcibly hypnotizing.
So, with the help of channels, he sent his request to be released from prison.
That night, Kane waited for the night, hid on the top shelf of Building B, and was ready to fight.
After 3:40 a.m., the anomaly happened, the same gloomy fog appeared, and black fissures opened in the depths of the prison, but this time it was not a strange man, nor a gang, but only one, who was wearing a similar fencing suit, belonging to cotton armor, and wearing an old-fashioned iron helmet on his head, the flat-topped cylindrical helmet of the Teutonic knights, ugly and strange.
The monster wasn't drifting, it was striding forward, but there was no footsteps, like a large puppet.
The monster was carrying a long knife covered in blood rust with a curly blade, and the shape of the blade part was also quite distinctive, Kane remembered it firmly, and he was going to go back and check it, maybe he could get some useful clues.
The same Force opened, and the monster stood in front of Kane's cell door, staring at the cell with only sleepy four eyes for about two minutes, and then quietly left, not entering it the whole time.
This made Kane know the monster a little more, and he made a dummy out of pillow clothes and hid it under the blanket, and from the position of the cell door, it looked like a man was sleeping with his head covered, to the extent that it was fake. The monster can be identified without lifting the quilt, which probably means that its identification method is not the 'see' of ordinary people.
But Kane argues that most of these perceptions are not common.
If you use perception to stand outside the cell, the room force has several living people, and even their respective characteristics, can be perceived.
And this monster has the action of opening the door.
"Could it be a remote-controlled puppet?"
In any case, the monster came to find fault tonight with a clear goal, which proves that the information has indeed leaked.
Staying up until dawn, Kane quietly returned to his cell and took a nap.
In the morning, two F.B.I.-like agents fished him out of prison in the name of persuading him to become a tainted witness.
In the afternoon, Kane met with Thomas and Sandra from Group A, as well as Phoenix's representative Frank.
Frank is a man in his 50s, 10 years in the military, 15 years as a secret agent, retired due to health problems, and is an advisor to Phoenix.
The four discussed the case in a safe house provided by Frank, and the other three, after listening to Kane's statement, basically agreed with Kane's statement: it is no longer just how to investigate the problem of the Catholic Atonement, but there is a security crisis on their own side.
Frank was somewhat skeptical of the supernatural nature of what Kane was talking about, but on the whole, he was not the arrogant fool who was self-righteous and believed only in his own way. He also felt that the Atonementists had some evil methods.
At least in terms of brainwashing, it's really a set.
With this cognitive background, it means that there is no shortage of dead soldiers and puppets for the Atonementists.
This is terrible, and even the safety of Phoenix and his family is probably threatened to a certain extent.
It's just that in a dark society where there are many problems, a rich and powerful figure like Phoenix is already very sensitive to security issues, and the original Kevin has a friendship with Phoenix because he saved his daughter, which can be regarded as a kind of confirmation.
Therefore, the safety of Phoenix is so safe that they don't need to worry about it, they need to worry about themselves, and even their families.
Frank pointed out that if the Atonement Sect really wanted to target them, most of the past of the three of them would be dug up.
All three of them listened to this and understood what it meant.
Accidents, disappearances, connections, magic, the same methods that the Atonementists used on Paul could also be used on them and their families.
They also know that there is no such thing as a thousand days against thieves. The best way now is for the people they care about to leave the Atonementists' sphere of influence for a period of time in the name of tourism, and they will strive to get enough black material during this time.
As for the overthrow of the Atonement Sect, I have to say that this kind of organization, which has been in business for many years, has rich connections, and has deep and wide implications, it is too difficult and too difficult to overthrow, even if the evidence is conclusive, it can also push the problem onto the person in charge of the place where the incident occurred, and survive by playing with the rhetoric of judging the matter.
Moreover, it is likely that the lawsuit will be protracted, and after the heat has passed, the big thing will be reduced to a small one, or even a long time.
There is a precedent for this.
Frank also pointed out that Phoenix also does not want to expand the problem, and it is enough to get key evidence that can check and balance the other side.
This statement can be said to be a bit chilling, it not only makes people serve death, but also does not lack the responsibility of the big guy, Paul died in vain.
Of course, if you don't take it so seriously, or think about it realistically, you can also say that it is in the past, after all, Phoenix privately compensated Paul's family with 2 million green bills, after taxes.
In this era, 2 million green banknotes are almost equal to the purchasing power of 15 million in the origin world in 2018, and selling a life for this money, even if it is an elite, it can be regarded as a premium, you must know that in this country, a colonel-level officer who died on the battlefield is only a pension of hundreds of thousands.
All of you here are adults who have been in the social ladder, and even if you feel uncomfortable, you won't show it.
After all, judging from the current situation, jumping out to uphold justice can only make a break with Phoenix, and then the two ends are not human.
After a discussion, not only did not make any progress, but it made Thomas and Sandra a lot more negative, even if Frank represented Phoenix, gave a 200,000 honorarium in stages, and generously said that they could arrange for their families to travel, the interest of the two was not high.
This is what makes Kane stand out.
In fact, he didn't show much enthusiasm, but this case was originally intended to be investigated to the end, and Phoenix's support or not's support would not affect this decision, so he has been very calm.
Frank saw it in his eyes, nodded secretly, turned back to talk to Phoenix about it, and praised Kane for being young but very calm, with a good heart and strong professional ability.
Of course, none of this will help solve the problem, but Kane has no shortage of ideas, and he will take the initiative, hoping that Thomas and Sandra will continue to start with the missing person and find clues.
He pointed out that the kidnapping of the Atonement Sect felt extremely selective.
He said: "If it weren't for special reasons, according to their abilities, they wouldn't have had to kidnap people from prison at all, and they would have been placed on death row." ”
Thomas and Sandra thought about it for a moment and understood what Kane meant.
Judging from what has happened so far, the Atonement Sect has shown two very different extreme characteristics: on the one hand, they rely on their evil abilities to unscrupulously kidnap people from the death row cells of prisons, and on the other hand, they have all kinds of cover-ups, high vigilance, and extremely strong anti-investigation capabilities.
This cover-up and high-profile approach can only show that they have their own special reasons for kidnapping people from death row.
Then find out the reason by comparing the missing people and finding the common ground. It is obviously helpful in solving the case.
As for Kane, his entry point is the prisoner who was seriously injured and did not die, this prisoner is in the supervision ward of the central hospital, has passed the dangerous period, but his head is severely concussed, and he has not yet woken up.
There were special prison guards, but in Kane's view, they were nothing.
Kane decided to force hypnosis first to see if he could dig up useful information.
He estimated it was enough. After all, according to the style shown by the Atonement Sect, if they really want to discover some of their secrets, they need to get rid of them, most of them are directly killed, and then disguised as an accident, without making this kind of little tail.
He speculated that Paul had been killed and the wounded had been affected.
So, his plan was that if the seriously wounded man didn't have valuable information to come to, the next thing was to go to the morgue and meet Paul.
Although he had read Paul's medical report not long ago, he could not believe it. This is a case involving extraordinary powers, ordinary medical methods, but the harm of the transcendent realm cannot be detected.
