Chapter 290: Code and Return

Pressed under the claws of the giant bear was a young man who looked to be no more than thirty years old, with short black hair and cold gray eyes, but Abner still saw a trace of reluctance and doubt in them.

Unwilling to be suppressed and unable to move, he wondered why a giant bear suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Abner's transformed giant bear had a human smile on his face, which looked quite terrifying, and then the two humans present heard a deep voice coming from the bear's mouth: "I'm here to negotiate." ”

Negotiation? Is there anyone like you negotiating?!

If it weren't for the fact that he was already speechless, the "serial killer" youth would have cursed loudly.

And the reality is that with the exertion of the giant bear's claws, he passed out in pain.

"I'm sorry, but my negotiations are unilateral and don't require your involvement." Abner's bear said with a regretful look on his face.

He didn't have any mercy for this kind of "serial killer" who killed people at will to please the devil, and he didn't kill him immediately, all in order to prepare for better psychic effects.

The corners of Dr. Dast Guderian's mouth, who watched this scene, couldn't help twitching, he "read" the other party's thoughts at the moment before the "serial killer" fainted, and magically followed the other party's divergent thoughts, and complained in his heart:

Mr. Killer, you are wrong, there is really such a way of "negotiating"...... For example, the Vossacks like to do this......

The Vrsaks have always chosen to "negotiate" after beating their enemies to the point that they are powerless in the Southern Continent, so their diplomatic skills have always been despised by Rune and Intis.

After pressing the "stun" of the "serial killer", Abner gave him a simple "treatment" to prevent him from dying prematurely, and then looked at Dr. Dast Guderian, who was obediently in front of the "audience", and said to him solemnly while simulating his ability: "You only remember that you were inexplicably rescued after being attacked, and you didn't see the specific process." ”

As a low-level member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Daxter, who had just been promoted to Sequence 8 "Mind Reader", naturally knew that the giant bear in front of him was using "psychological suggestion" to modify his consciousness, and he also had the ability to resist to a certain extent.

But he didn't do this, but took the initiative to open up part of his "mind and body" and cooperated with the other party to complete this hint.

Because his past life experience has taught him that the more he knows, the more dangerous it becomes.

What a smart guy! Abner sighed in his heart, and then, without delay, cast a few earth-type spells, made a coffin-shaped clay box out of clay and some plants, and put the "serial killer" in it.

After doing all this, he relied on the giant bear's ability to use the "underground sneak", and the ground under his feet suddenly softened and turned into a "swamp", causing his body and the earth box to sink as quickly as if they had fallen into the sea.

And as his figure disappeared, the ground quickly returned to its original state, and there was no trace of softening.

Dr. Dast Guderian came back to his senses, remembering the attack that had just taken place, and only felt that his heart was beating extremely violently in his left chest.

He took a few deep breaths, relied on the ability of the "audience" to stay calm, and thought:

I don't know who saved me, but since I was attacked, it means that I have been targeted by some extraordinary person or organization......

And I'm just a "mind reader" who doesn't have the ability to fight head-on, and it's unlikely that the "Psychological Alchemy Society" behind me will fight against an unknown extraordinary person for a low-level member like me......

Therefore, I have only one way to go now, which is to rely on the identity of an "informant" to seek the protection of the official extraordinary......

Well, I can go directly to the police station and ask them to help me contact Inspector Klein Moretti.

Thinking of this, Dr. Dast Guderian did not dare to delay, returned to the room to pack some items and money, and was about to leave the asylum and rush to the police station.

But before he could walk out of the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a gray cardigan walk in from outside.

Temperamentally similar to Captain Dunn Smith he knew.

"Nightwatch?" Before the other party could speak, Daxter asked first.

The person who came was the acting captain of the current Tingen Nightwatcher team, El Hasen, who was stunned when he heard this, looked at the other party deeply, and then nodded and said, "Yes...... Dr. Dast Guderian, did anything special happen to you? ”

"I was going to look for you! I just had an attack. Dust quickly recounted what had just happened, but his description did not include the existence of a "giant bear".

Al frowned when he heard this, not fully believing the other party's words, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Doctor Guderian...... Are you extraordinary? ”

Dast didn't expect the other party to ask this, and said puzzledly: "Of course, I am the informant of your night watchman......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Yes, my identity should still be kept secret, you can call Klein Moretti to ask, he is my upline." ”

Informants? Why doesn't the document that handed me over mention it...... Al was puzzled in his heart, but shook his head on the surface and said, "It's a pity that Klein has already died in his ......"

"What?!" Dust's eyes widened when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he thought back to the young man who had a bookish aura, and sighed, "No wonder he hasn't contacted me for more than a week......

He paused, skimmed over the sad topic, and added, "Captain Dunnsmith can testify for me as well." ”

"Sadly, Dunn has also lost his life...... With Klein. Al glanced at him and said helplessly.

"Huh?" This time, Daxter couldn't speak anymore.

"So, Mr. Daxter, you're going to have to go back to the company with me...... Maybe Frye and Luo Yao can prove who you are. ”

When Daxter heard this, he instinctively wanted to find a gap and escape, because he had already learned from the mouth of the crazy member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Hude Eugen, how the wild extraordinary would be treated by the authorities, and he was not afraid of the identity of an "informant" before, but now, this identity is likely to be "gone"!

However, before he could put it into action, he suddenly woke up, and his eyes were in his own lounge, and everything just now seemed to be just a dream.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

……

Abner carried the clay "coffin" through the ground, and soon came to a rather spacious "node" in the sewers that he had pre-selected.

Enduring the not-so-pleasant smell coming from his nose, Abner lifted the "Giant Bear" mode brought by "Lilith's Tears" and returned to his human form.

Then, he quickly set up the "spiritual wall" and began to channel and retrace the dying "serial killer".

After a moment, Abner opened his eyes, and then, without hesitation, wrenched the neck of the young man lying in the "coffin".

While waiting for the extraordinary properties to be revealed, he put on the clothes he had hidden in the sewer "node" in advance, and sorted out the information he had just gotten through the psychic:

The dead young man's name was Carlos Andrerad, a member of the "Blood Worship" cult and a member of the demon family "Andrerad".

The reason why he killed so many people this time and held the "Shadow of Adabao" ceremony was to summon the projection of this famous superior demon who had been named by Russell the Great to obtain some knowledge and information from the other party.

Since he himself is only a Sequence 7 "serial killer", the projection power he can summon will not be very strong, so he didn't expect to be able to kill in Tingen and please the other party, purely with an attitude of exploitation.

The reason why the "1322 tragedy" in the town of Lacey in the Rorsted Islands happened in the first place was because there was no Extraordinary Team in that town.

"Hey, it turns out that some organization has posted a bounty in the Blood Cult. Awarded with an Abyss card made by Russell the Great, require a designated assassination......

When Carlos Andreillard heard the news, he coveted the Abyss card and feared that it was a trap, so he wanted to summon Yadabao, a demon who was said to have crossed paths with Russell, and ask him about the specific function of the blasphemous card and the information of the organization that issued the bounty......

"Tsk, I don't think the demon named Adabao would have dared to tell you even if he knew...... Well, I don't know, who knew that the idea of this thing was just as different from that of humans. ”

After roughly sorting out the cause and effect of the incident, Abner muttered a few words to himself, and then packed the extraordinary properties that had just been precipitated in a tin box, which simulated "psychological stealth", and climbed out of a nearby sewer exit with the corpse of the "serial killer".

After dragging the body not far from the "Black Thorn Security Company", and writing a letter in the tone of "Doctor Strange" and throwing it aside, Abner returned to the hotel and took a shower again, removing the smell of sewers.

……

After a while, Captain El returned to the company with Dr. Daxter and several reinforcements from the "Mechanical Heart" and "Substitute Punisher".

As soon as they approached, they were struck by inspiration, and they all looked at a dirt box around the corner.

Al's gaze was even sharper, and his attention quickly fell on a piece of paper in front of the box.

He picked up the letter with a solemn face and read it, then his brows stretched a little, but he still said to himself in confusion:

"Who the hell is this Doctor Strange?"

……

Abner, who was lying on the bed after taking a shower, felt the "feedback" brought by the night watchman, but it was still far from the expectation of his "play", but he had expected it and was not disappointed, and only concluded:

"Fame is right in the right direction, but in the impression of the night watchmen this time, erudition is probably only incidental, and mystery and danger are their main thoughts, so the feedback is minimal.

"In addition, it is to use knowledge to help others solve problems, but not to help them solve it directly...... This time the situation is more urgent, even if it can continue in the dark next time, it is better not to show up.

"Well, I have a guess about the full play of Erudito...... That is, I use my knowledge to solve problems for others, and those who receive help take the initiative to spread my reputation for erudition, and then others seek my help in the name of erudition...... This cycle should be a complete play...... Of course, the knowledge reserve in the early stage and the stage of making oneself erudite cannot be omitted, otherwise once erudition is not worthy of the name, this cycle of playing will be broken.

"The role of the knowledge keeper is to keep the right knowledge, to inform the right people, so that the knowledge can be continued.

Erudito, on the other hand, focuses more on solving more problems with knowledge, reflecting the intrinsic meaning of omniscience leading to omnipotence.

Although this speculation is only my current subjective assumption, I can also find some corroboration from the original book.

"For example, Luca, the demigod of the Church of Knowledge in Sibailon, is a well-known wise man in the rebels, and the leaders of the rebels have to ask him for advice when they receive an arms deal...... This may be the result of his original demigod play.

In addition, not to mention Lieutenant General Iceberg, her reputation for erudition and strict attitude towards knowledge is known even to Alger, who has little intersection with her, which shows that it has spread widely.

"To put it simply, the role of a polymath is to make me appear in front of others and show off knowledge, right?

"Okay, I'm familiar with this."

Abner sighed slightly, laughed at himself a few words, and then forced himself to fall asleep with the help of meditation.

……

At the same time, a dossier of Doctor Strange was sent to churches by the Night Watchman, the Heart of the Machine, and the Punisher Substitute.

It's just that because no one has really seen the appearance of "Doctor Strange", and it is impossible to judge its strength, and his own position seems to be more official, and the degree of danger is not high, so it has not attracted attention.

……

Early on Wednesday morning, Abner left Tingen on one of the earliest trains and arrived in Beckland at noon.

As soon as he returned to the Garden House at 28 Kingster Street, and before he could take off his hat, Mr. Scudder, the butler, came and reported:

"Detective Bryan, Duke Negan's secretary came to you before."

"Duke Negan's secretary?" Abner was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, what is he looking for me? Could it be that this Erwuzi knows that I just killed a member of a demon family?

"Yes, he said that the Duke, grateful for your contribution to the ball, bought back your family's former home, and intended to give it to you as a thank you. Well, he came to you to sign for that house. Mr. Scudder relayed meticulously.

That's what it was for...... I thought Duke Negan was so stingy that he only made me carry the pot of fame...... It turns out that it's still a little affordable.

Abner suddenly realized that he didn't have any special feelings for the original owner of the body, so he only nodded slightly, and then asked, "Mr. Scudder, who else has looked for me?" ”

"Aside from Miss Hugh, only one of Detective Zerell's kids, Ian, has been here once." Mr. Scudder replied after a moment's thought.
