Any circle that has been precipitated over the years has a circle culture.

The Mysterious Circle is no exception, after all, the time when it was born is comparable to the human civilization in this world, or even older, and it is naturally a bit conventional.

Kane's predecessor, Kevin, is actually quite ignorant in this regard, including Kevin's guide Sam, they are all veterans, and they have a little bit of a professional military to be a policeman, and from the perspective of the transcendent field, they can be regarded as halfway monks.

The special people recruited by MF are the Jianghu faction, and their backgrounds are basically psychic mediums, warlocks, and magic sticks.

Kane already has no shortage of knowledge about the rivers and lakes, and he learned some things about the mysterious circle of this world from Jamie, and he pretended to be a gangster.

He did this deliberately, mainly in the hope of completing a misdirection. Misleading about his origins.

He believes that although the MF is a government-run institution that accommodates strange people and solves mysterious cases, it is not necessarily rigorous.

With the ability of the Atonementists, it is not unusual to arrange eyeliner in this institution.

Not to mention anything else, the origins of these Jianghu investigators are destined to be very easy to ambush and have spies.

And the official binding force on the transcendent is probably not as strong as the official himself thinks.

Through some bizarre spells, normal magic contracts can be broken. This is exemplified by his modification of the House Spirit Contract at Grimm's Mansion.

It is precisely because of this concern that he does not want the official to dig up Kevin's true origin.

That's a big family, once something happens, is it to save or not to save?

If you don't save it, it's morally unjustifiable. He is not the kind of person who takes benefits and does not give them back, and the arrogance of the strong drives him to pay his debts, whether he owes them or people owe him.

Saving is easier said than done.

He is now lacking in ability, and predicts his future development, unless he gets the protagonist's life, there are stepping stones along the way to climb quickly, but he can repeatedly take risks and win, and he fights to raise his own battles, otherwise it will take 18 months to upgrade to level 10 (not counting the pendant bonus), it will take 18 months (generally smooth, get enough resources to make potions), it will take 3 years to upgrade to level 15, and it will take 10 years to upgrade to level 20.

From level 15 onwards, it takes three strange substances (magical, mysterious, and spiritual) to make significant progress. After all, it is a process beyond the limits of the human body, and without technology, it can only mutate. And the three strange substances are the catalysts of mutation.

In this home world of the old dominators, the extraordinary power is locked by it from the law level, and the transcendents who are not in its system can only play with low-end applications, occasionally picking up a leak, which is also the main obstacle to the improvement of strength.

Just because he thought that his future growth was predicted, he had a rough estimate of what he could do.

Once Kevin's family is deeply controlled by an organization like the Atonements, it will be extremely difficult to rescue, after all, there are already rescue cases in Heaven City, and the Atonementers will inevitably learn a lesson and make targeted arrangements.

In such a situation, if he goes to the rescue, it is likely that he will be pitted if he fails to save people.

As for early warning and prevention, it is also extremely difficult. You must know that Kevin's father, brother, and sister are all famous doctors, and he can, the son of a runaway, has not heard from him for so many years, and he has not even attended his grandfather's funeral.

In such a situation, whether it is from the perspective of achievement or family affection, he lacks the right to speak, why should people believe in his fingers?

Thinking about it, if he has a normal work and life, suddenly a relative who has never been successful and has not seen him for more than 10 years came to tell him that the end of the world was coming, and he would quickly start to evacuate, and he would not pay attention to it, and he might even teach the other party a lesson if he was in a hurry.

It's useless to make sense, after all, everyone has their own set of things, and you don't usually manage your credit well, don't expect people to listen to you at critical moments.

More convincing than the truth is the mutual affection, and a 'given my relationship with him, he can't lie to me about this kind of thing' is better than a thousand truths. Of course, those who have been deceived by their loved ones are often because of this.

Therefore, Kane believes that the active and fruitful action is only left before the opponent kidnaps Kevin's family.

But kidnapping, how to say it, in reality, any person who meets the standard of emotional intelligence will not think that there is a reason for 'I'm for your good' to make decisions for others, let alone use such extreme means as kidnapping.

So in the end, one can only hope that Kevin's family will not be affected.

However, if you really want to achieve your wish, you have to look at your face to a large extent.

When Kevin entered the industry, because he was a runaway, Sam helped him make arrangements in this regard, starting with a temporary identity certificate, then having a work ID, a social security number, and then becoming a formal investigator.

And now, obviously, it is time to test whether there were any omissions in those operations in the first place.

This kind of thing that has happened is not under Kane's control, he can only do something to remedy it.

Misleading is the first step. No one knows, it is relatively safe.

The second and most crucial step is to take down the Atonement Sect as soon as possible.

After all, if you keep it for a long time, many times, the occurrence of bad things depends on the degree of attention, once the Atonement Sect thinks it is very necessary to conduct an unrestricted war against him, then it is likely to be willing to pay a high price to spy on his past, so as to dig out people with relatively close relationships, including Jenny and Lana, and use them.

In addition, according to his consistent philosophy, the rivers and lakes cannot be coaxed, and they cannot be respected and admired, but also made people afraid and jealous, otherwise just the kind of ruffian who bullies the soft and fears the hard can give birth to many incidents.

Deterrence is small, Kane thinks this is a very important job, because many times, things are bad in the hands of such people, if you can maintain enough deterrence so that they do not dare to act rashly, you can greatly reduce the probability of all kinds of bad things happening.

He has the heart to stand up, but as a result, someone jumped out to say that he was even more horizontal, and this kind of face stretched out must be pumped. This is the hidden truth behind a seemingly simple pretending to slap the face.

Of course, there is a little bit of a plot that can be arrogant and never be bitter, after all, he has no M tendency.

When you're done drawing, it's time to give the other party steps. He said: "It's not unbearable to forcibly recruit and transfer, but I want to know how high the authority to handle the case this time is." If it involves high-ranking officials and billionaires, can you investigate it to the end?"

The person who answered the call before had a good temperament, whether he secretly made a small account or not, at least he didn't pull his face on the surface, and said: "You can rest assured that this operation is authorized by the president." ”

Kane nodded, "At least legally, the backstage is solid. I asked to see the original authorization letter and get permission to take pictures. ”

The other party frowned, Kane's request seemed excessive, and more importantly, the distrustful attitude was too blatant.

Kane insisted: "This is the basic condition of my participation. ”

He added: "Actually, when I knew that I was the only survivor of the original investigation, I was mentally prepared to die. So don't talk to me about state power, civic duty. I'm very nervous right now, and I don't think anyone can get me into a unit like a police station just by making a verbal promise. If it doesn't work, then I'll kill it from here. ”

Now, even Frank can't listen anymore, "Oh oh!" he stretched out his hand to signal, "Kevin, calm down, your emotions are too high right now, and your thinking is also dark." ”

Kane grinned at Frank. "Being an investigator often doesn't have a good death, and the more successful you are, the closer you are to collapse. You should know that. ”

Frank nodded.

"I'm still young, but I've been in the industry early, I've experienced a lot of events, and many of them are of high quality, so I can't be 45, 35 is about the same. I have experienced this myself, after all, my guide Sam is a good reference. ”

Frank nodded again.

"I agree with some investigators that death may be a relief for investigators. At least better than Sam, the point is not to be crazy, but to forget about the people and things he cares about most. ”

Frank sighed, indeed, if you forget the people and things you care about the most, it is actually equivalent to the death of consciousness, and the living one is a monster with a skin bag.

"The investigator's job is so dangerous, and he has the consciousness of death again. Well, investigators are more concerned with how to die than most people who don't dare to face death. ”

Kane added: "To tell you the truth, I had the intention of retiring at the age of 35 and spending the rest of my life in peace. But more and more I feel that this idea is unrealistic, the invisible fetters are entangled in everyone, and we all have our own bodies and can't help ourselves. ”

This time, even the three visitors of MF also felt a little bit of empathy. The crockpot does not break away from the wellhead, and many times, it is really not something that you can quit if you want to.

Of course, there is also a deep and shallow saying here, like Kevin, who is obviously very deep, has been doing it for more than ten years, and has climbed to a good height in this industry, he can be called young and promising, and he has achieved fame.

Who can do things properly every time, live up to the promise, and satisfy everyone without offending people? There is no such person, and there is no such perfect case.

On the contrary, in the extraordinary events of the Cthulhu system, hardship is the tone and theme, and the so-called success is often just framing the matter, and with a minimum explanation, at most it is to achieve the least bad ending.

Going deeper, there are a lot of regrets and even resentments here.

And these elements, maybe one day there will be a mountain and water to meet, and they will collide with a 'bang'.

This is called doing more and doing more wrong.

Therefore, it is difficult to climb the mountain in life, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain. That is, the kind of person who has great wisdom and great decision, can completely let go of the peak of power and profit, and is willing to be plain, it is possible to die a good death, such as some people who understood among the founding fathers of all dynasties.

These truths, experienced people like Frank, naturally understand. I know, but I can't. This is the majority of human beings.

For example, if you eat less and lose weight with more energy, I am afraid that every fat man and fat woman knows that how many people have successfully lost weight and not gained weight?

Kane's attitude now is that I don't care too much about death. I want to care, but in the current situation, I can't be safe if I don't care. In that case, I can at least try to choose a death that I can approve of.

Suffocating to death, pit to death or something, the most annoying. So don't kidnap me in any name to a place with the characteristics of a cage, for fear of being hacked and pitted.

The MF people saw that Kane was already sensitive to the point of half-madness, and he could only compromise, who let them be the one who asked for it.

In fact, Kane made such a play, although he was suspected of acting, but it was not all alarmist.

Simplest, how long had he been in the office, and he hadn't even been to his own office when Frank's secretary saw him and invited him to Frank's office.

The two of them talked for less than ten minutes before someone from MF appeared, saying that this firm didn't have MF's eyeliner, who would believe it?

You are only allowed to MF to play monitoring, and the parties are not allowed to be suspicious?

Therefore, Kane made this drama because he thought he knew his current position and the role he played.

He believes that in the eyes of the MF who took over the case, he is not his own person, but one of the suspects involved in the case. Maybe people are now wondering why all the people who handled the case died in the whole family, even powerful people like Phoenix, but you don't seem to have a single hair missing, and I heard that your family has also been placed properly, which is very suspicious!

Kane thinks it's entirely possible that MF people have such thoughts. After all, there is a lack of basic trust in each other.

There is no friendship between the two sides, and you say that you are a law-abiding and kind citizen? Before those perverted serial murderers were exposed, many of them were inconspicuous people in the eyes of their neighbors, or even good people.

Moreover, he is meticulous and has always paid attention to details.

He felt that the fact that the man of his size dared to jump out and pretend to be compared, even if it was an inadvertent hint, hinting at his position and weight in the other party's mind.

If the other party treats him as a VIP, the MF leader who came to contact him this time will not break in directly, and his attitude is condescending and he will take the lead.

Instead, the meeting told the entourage: "Put away your stinky temper, this time is extraordinary, don't blow up thorns." ”

After all, it is impossible to know whether his subordinates are arrogant or not.

Therefore, the other party's refusal to give in and blow up at one point has already explained a lot of problems.

These words are inconvenient to spread out, it means tearing your face, but Kane expressed his attitude in place: Don't try to use power to suppress me, it's okay to cooperate, but it can't be what you say, I'll do it.

The MF rep didn't expect Kane to be so difficult either.

Generally speaking, most people are still very afraid of power, especially in the face of the National Security Bureau, the dazzling name of the president often makes the other party lose three points of momentum as soon as he shows his sign.

As a result, Kane's sentence 'I'm scared now, nervous and sensitive, and I'm on the verge of collapse' justified his scolding.

Yes, he was the only one left to die in the original case, and he was scared to see that everyone was like a bad guy, this reaction made sense, you can't be more serious with the prospective patient, right?

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement to exchange the case in the firm, the original second group of office areas.

Kane said he needed to prepare, and the MF guys said they were a team and more people would be there.

Half an hour later, the exchange began, and the common room of the two groups was very lively and warm, but this time it was made like a focus interview by the MF people, and there were special camera exercises, instead of the 'meeting recorder', and the communication process between the two sides was recorded.

When it came to the specific exchange, the MF people directly broke Kane's first stage of handling the case as soon as they came up, and they left a piece of information for themselves. Specifically, this conclusion was reached through the use of the miniature camera.

Kane didn't lie behind and generously admitted it.

"The things I handle are always well documented, because I have a good teacher. ”

This is not a mess, the original Kevin, and even Sam, did have this habit, and it was not uncommon.

In the case involved by the investigator, once someone sincerely frames him and hides key evidence, it is really possible to be trapped. Therefore, keeping one hand in doing things is a rule that many investigators follow.

Among the MF present, there were many professional technicians and equipment, and they were sure on the spot that the materials in Kane's hand were original and had not been altered.

MF also produced a letter of authorization from the president at Kane's request.

Kane asked for rubbings and asked for a copy of the transcript of the exchange.

He stressed that he is not a subordinate of MF, but a cooperation in the form of a third party, and the two sides are reciprocal, so it is normal for the memorandum to be in duplicate.

The MF was not happy, but agreed, but demanded that Kane sign a leak liability agreement.

Not to be outdone, Kane said: "That thing of yours can only be used as the basis for the ruling of secular laws, and the effect is relatively limited, I will draw up a copy, and everyone present now has to sign it, the soul contract will bind a trace of soul, whoever leaks the secret, the corresponding punishment spell will be activated, the characteristics are clear, life is better than death, can it come?"

The MF people looked at each other, not very comfortable with this soul contract, after all, it was an extraordinary item. At the same time, I also doubt whether the binding force of this contract is really as good as Kane said.

The meeting was adjourned for the time being.

Half an hour later, MF's senior appraiser arrived by helicopter.

The appraiser's spectrum is quite large, followed by two strong men and two beautiful girls, not only with a special water cup, but also with a special cushion, woven by some kind of extraordinary plant fiber, a bit like a futon.

Sitting like a Buddha, the appraiser stroked his gray goatee in one hand and waved at Kane with the other, and said commandingly, "You can start." ”

Kane ignored him, and instead said to the MF negotiator who was sitting next to him, "Is this a request for a show? I didn't even notice that my puppet was not a person, are you sure he is qualified to identify soul-related contracts?"

Next, under the incredible and somewhat terrifying gaze of the MF people, Kofei, who had been standing solemnly, lifted the human skin as if he had taken off his hood, and then used his head as a hat, took it off and performed an exaggerated court etiquette, and said: "Hello human masters. ”

MF's senior appraiser hid his face.

It's not so much that he's ready to show face, it's more that he's worried that Kane will use his means to punish him, and at the same time, he's afraid that the soul contract will be responsible for an accident.

"I'm so sorry!" the MF negotiator stood up and bowed to Kane in apology.

It wasn't so polite before, but now it can be, and Kane's strength has already qualified for it.
