Chapter 100: Channeling and Backtracking
The so-called channeling, in fact, is simply to use one's own spirituality to break into the other party's spiritual world, and then either forcibly read the other party's memory, or use other means to communicate with the other party's "mind body" relatively gently, so as to obtain information.
For professional "psychics", there will be no shortage of self-preservation skills and means of communication in this state, but extraordinary people in other ways do not have this convenience.
In the original book, Klein often combined "psychic" and "dream divination" to obtain information because of the blessing of the source castle to stay awake in a psychic state.
Abner was inspired to try to develop a different kind of operation.
After using the personal suppression of the "Pure White Eye" to forcibly break the spiritual resistance of the villain named Moreira, most of the other party's mental world has actually been exposed to Abner's eyes.
Reading memories directly with spirituality may be dangerous due to mental pollution, but this spiritual world can also be used as a necessary clue and precursor to "scene regression".
Therefore, after using the "Pure White Eye" to quickly analyze and filter out some of the fragment information he wanted, Abner quickly quit channeling and went on to use the "scene backtracking" ability. Immediately afterwards, a picture appeared in front of his eyes:
I saw Moreira pick up a bottle of black liquid, struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally drank it. Then, his expression distorted, and the bruises on his forehead appeared, and it took a while for him to return to normal.
At this time, a man with brown complexion, short black curly hair, and obviously a race from the Southern Continent patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Moreira, congratulations on becoming a 'lawyer', and the company's dealings with Rune officials will be handed over to you in the future." ”
The picture ends abruptly here, and a new scene quietly emerges.
In the dimly lit room, a man with a low brim of his hat, but who seemed to deliberately expose the lower half of his round face, easily restrained Moreira, and then smiled: "Is Moreira right?" I need you to do something for me. ”
"What's the matter?" Moreira fell to her knees, not even daring to look into the other's eyes, as if something terrible would happen just by looking at it.
"I want you to provoke the workers' representatives in the docks to organize a strike, and the bigger the trouble, the better, and it is better to have a bloody case and attract the attention of the authorities." The corners of the man's mouth curled and he said with a smile.
"Yes...... But I don't have enough power. Moreira said with a frightened expression, for fear that the other party would not be satisfied with his answer.
The man took out a ring set with red and black gemstones and threw it to him, saying, "Take this, it will help you finish." You'd better get things done, or you'll ......" At this, a mocking smile hung on his lips.
At this time, the picture turned again, and another scene slowly appeared.
In the office, an assistant reported to Moreira: "Manager, we have confirmed that the thief we caught earlier is a relic of God!" He confessed that the artifact came from the underground of Grant's clothing store, where there may be relics of the god. ”
"Grant...... Is that the family that was robbed and murdered? Moreira asked after a moment of recollection.
"You have a good memory. Mr. That's it. The assistant nodded.
Moreira thought for a moment and said, "That's Jowood, not as good as East and Docklands...... In this way, we directly paid for the clothing store and excavated the ruins in the name of renovation. ”
The scene returns to the previous dimly lit room, where a thug reports to Moreira with some nervousness:
"Boss, our kidnapping of homeless and homeless people in the Bridge District has been noticed by the police department, and they seem to have launched an investigation."
"Fools, you can't just change places? Working in an area all the time will of course be investigated! Moreira rubbed the corners of her forehead and cursed.
The thug didn't dare to speak for a long time after being scolded, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Boss, there is one more thing." When we were sending the kidnapped person to the big customer, a worker found out about it......"
At this moment, the picture suddenly changed, and I came to a large warehouse.
Moreira stepped on a young man who was lying on the ground, unaware of his life and death, and asked the thugs around him, "Is this kid who discovered the company's secret?" ”
"Yes, Boss Moreira. The boy's father was a veteran, so he had learned some scouting skills, and this time he wouldn't have been exposed if he hadn't tried to free a kidnapped girl. One of the thugs replied with a look of trepidation.
"It's all rubbish!" Moreira cursed and stomped a few more times at the young man below him before asking, "Does anyone know how long he's been looking?" Did it get out of the way? ”
"I guess he found it the day before yesterday when he came here with a cargo box. In addition, this group of workers has not yet taken vacation, and has been under the monitoring of the company...... However, he seems to have asked someone to bring a letter to his family, and although our people have checked the contents of the letter, we do not know if he wrote any coded words. In addition, his family is asking someone to contact the bounty hunters in the East End. An assistant from a company came over and replied.
Moreira thought for a moment with a gloomy face, and ordered, "Call a few people to go with me to this kid's house to check on it." Our customers come from a lot of money and pay a lot of money, but we can't let this bug ruin the company's business. ”
At this time, the picture suddenly zoomed out, and the whole picture of the warehouse appeared. It was a townhouse near the subway exhaust chimney, and a river could be faintly seen flowing through it in the distance.
……
When the picture was over, Abner glanced at Moreira, who was pale from being forcibly broken into his heart, and without hesitation, stabbed him in the heart, ending his life of sin.
Before, because it was just a confession from the thugs, Abner hadn't done it yet, but through channeling and backtracking, he had deeply realized what kind of villain this gentleman-looking gentleman was, so killing him did not bring Abner any discomfort, but also a kind of pleasure of relieving hatred.
Then, while waiting for the extraordinary properties to be revealed, Abner also thought carefully about the scenes he had seen earlier.
This Moreira turned out to be a "lawyer"? Yes, there are no similar pathways for extraordinary people, and it is not so easy for a company like them with a background in gangsters and occult organizations to do business......
The second picture is supposed to be the origin of the gemstone ring...... But that strange man sent a precious and extraordinary object only to incite the workers' representatives to organize a strike?
By the way, at the previous teacher's party, the "Black Snake" was looking for someone to reverse the idea of a strike by the workers' representatives...... And I remember that in the original book, this "Black Snake" should be a member of the Aurora Society......
Thinking of this, Abner was almost certain of the true identity of the man with his contradictory behavior.
It turned out that Lanerus was playing tricks...... He shouldn't have been monitored too strictly by the Aurora Society at this time, so he was able to seize the brief opportunity to threaten Moreira. Hehe, it seems that he still doesn't realize that he is transforming into that being, and his spirit is affected, otherwise with his IQ as a big fraudster, he would not have used such inferior means.
Abner shook his head, not wanting to pay much attention to the of Lanrius, and didn't think to report him. After all, the fraudster originally wanted to help him escape with the help of the official, didn't it follow his wishes to report it?
And without Mr. Fool's interception, he may really be able to slip away under the nose of the official, and it will not be easy to find him when the time comes.
For Abner, because of the original book, he really likes the character of Klein and is willing to help him as much as possible. But in this real world, the only help he can provide to Crane for now is to provide some information and intelligence on the Source Fort, or to give some material assistance in the future.
As for fighting with other extraordinary people for the sake of the protagonist of the original book? That would not be on Abner's agenda.
Leaving these chaotic thoughts aside, Abner continued to examine the retrospective images he had seen earlier.
Are there Grim Reaper relics underneath Jane's house? It's just a joke, when the demigod aura broke out, the "God Songr" came in person, if there really were any substitutes who would not know? And for a thief to steal something important from underneath?
Hehe, I don't know which organization is deliberately plotting to trap the Eternal Life Society and the East Bailang Restoration Congress, the latter doesn't know that Grant's clothing store is being monitored by the Storm Church, this is self-defeating.
So, why would the person or organization behind this do this? Will there be enmity with eternal life? Deliberately looking for something to attract the attention of the substitute? Or is there any deeper scheme?
Due to the lack of intelligence, Abner couldn't guess what the people behind him were trying to do for a while, so he had to skip it for the time being and continue to analyze the next few backtracking pictures:
The disappearance of the homeless man I saw in the file of the Bridge District Police Department was also done by this group...... And they have a big customer behind them who is buying these populations...... Is it the Aurora Society, the Witch Cult, or the Rune Army?
Abner tapped his fingers on the table while thinking about it, and after a few moments he stopped, deciding to go back and find out where the warehouse was, find out about it, and report it to the authorities.
This is not only because of playing the "detective", but also for the revenge of those who died innocently and tragically. Moreover, his and Hugh's behavior today can be regarded as offending the Eternal Life Society and the East Bailang Restoration Association, and if they don't make some trouble for them, won't they be idle and think about how to take revenge?
Although he was not very afraid of this organization that Crane had wiped out with a single match.
By this time, Moreira's extraordinary properties had been completely dissolved, and Abner carefully collected the transparent fist-like substance into the metal box he carried with him, and sealed it with his spirit.
After doing all this, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, two long and one short and one long and one short interval, which was the secret signal of his agreement with Hugh.
Abner looked at the time and saw that it was past eight o'clock in the evening, so he walked over and opened the door, and then saw Hugh standing at the door with a packed meal.
