Chapter 21: Master of Mirroring
"What the fuck is this?"
Yuri incorporates into the room and watches as the Pied Piper is handcuffed by the FBI and brutally escorted away.
The Pied Piper did not put up any resistance, as docile as a pet dog, with a face full of remorse.
An hour earlier, the Piper's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Latherway, had been found dead in their home, and the cause of death was a gunshot death.
The Wedge Rock Police Department immediately intervened in the investigation and eventually found that surveillance footage showed that only one person had entered Rashvi's mansion all day today.
That's right, the Pied Piper, and he also had a gun, the same caliber as the bullet that killed the Lathurvies.
And the time of his departure is precisely the time of death of the Latherves, and he is simply the only suspect.
The Wedge Rock Police Department, which discovered that the murderer was likely to be the Pied Piper, did not dare to slack off and urgently contacted the FBI's Director James Jesse.
Then there was the FBI breaking into the door and the Pied Piper being caught.
If there were no accidents, the case would have been over, because the Pied Piper himself had already pleaded guilty, and he had spent all day either staying in the apartment or running out to fight crime, and no one knew his whereabouts, including the neighbors of the apartment.
But the accident did happen, because Yuri had been staring at the Pied Piper for the past few days.
He dared to pack the ticket, and the Pied Piper stayed in the apartment at the time of the crime, and it was impossible for him to go to the mansion of the Latherves.
This case is obviously the Internet did something to the Magic Piper, and the parents who killed the Pied Piper and then blamed him.
"But why didn't he defend himself?"
The only thing Yuri couldn't figure out was why the Pied Piper was innocent, and the look of remorse on his face didn't look fake.
It seems that the Pied Piper really thinks he killed his parents.
It's weird, it's weird.
A thoughtful Yuri flew up to the Pied Piper and reached for his head.
The ghost's hand went straight through his scalp and deep into his brain.
"Sure enough, something is affecting the Pied Piper's memory and consciousness."
Using the telepathic talents of the Iktoris, Yuri soon discovers that the Pied Piper's brain is hypnotized, but the question is who hypnotized him?
This hypnotic technique is to make the Pied Piper subjectively believe that he has killed his parents, even if he has no detailed memories of them, so Yuri is unable to unravel the Piper's hypnosis without the Piper's cooperation.
"I remember when the FBI broke in, the Pied Piper sat in front of the mirror and cried, didn't it...... Having trouble with the mirror? ”
Almost instantly, Yuri thought about who the real culprit was.
"Mirror Master!"
Except for him, no one can hide in the mirror, and no one can use the mirror to hypnotize others.
Thinking of this floor, Yuri immediately floated back to the room where the Pied Piper was captured, and pressed his hand to the mirror, opening his perception to the maximum.
Sure enough, Yuri sensed a faint consciousness hidden in the mirror.
This faint consciousness quickly vanished, but it did not leave, but transferred to the glass of the window.
The Mirror Master's ability to project consciousness onto any mirror surface makes him one of the hardest people in the world to find.
His main body can also travel from one mirror to another, but he needs to find the right route in the mirror world, and he can't rely on this ability to go wherever he wants.
Of course, the Master Mirror shifted his consciousness to the window, not because he discovered the existence of the ghost, but to ensure that the Pied Piper was indeed taken away by the FBI without resistance.
Yuri also stood behind the window, watching the dejected Pied Piper being escorted into the prison car.
In the pale mirror world, McCrouch admires his masterpiece through a mirror.
As the prison cart faded away, it was time for him to go back to the blacksmith.
"I know you're here, Mirror Master, and I have what I need for the network."
At that moment, a dark, distorted voice entered McCrouch's ears, and just listening to it made him feel creepy.
He shifted his gaze to the direction where the voice came from, but there was nothing there.
"Want to play tricks on me?"
McLaw let out a sneer, switching between the mirrors in the room, mirrors, glass, water......
He had gone through all the mirrors, but he still didn't notice anyone in the room.
"Don't try to find me, I'm standing in front of you, you just can't see me."
Yuri floated in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, which was the largest mirror in the room.
I saw a person gradually appear on the floor-to-ceiling window, lifelike, and the picture was clear, just like a video call, but the monitor was replaced by a floor-to-ceiling window.
McCrouch was about the same age as the Pied Piper, wearing an orange bodysuit and a dark green semi-full mask on his head, with only his mouth and chin exposed, and he didn't know who he had learned it from.
The bracers and belt are the same dark green, and he holds a mirror gun in his hand, which is why he is able to travel freely through the mirror world.
Yuri tentatively burrows into the floor-to-ceiling windows, trying to see if the ghost's disembodied invisibility can enter McCrouch's mirror world.
As it turned out, Yuri went straight through the floor-to-ceiling windows and out of the building.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
McCrouch asked calmly, but his heart welled up with infinite suspicion.
Is the other party a superhuman who can become invisible? Or an ordinary person in an invisibility cloak? How did he know about the Internet?
"My name is Ziska, and I need to talk to the Internet about a deal."
Yuri said quietly, the ghost's voice is really outrageous and terrifying, and if you go to dub horror movies, you will definitely make a lot of money......
McCrouch was eager to ask if there was any disease in the man's throat, and a normal person would become hoarse sooner or later when he spoke like this.
"As long as there is no malicious intent on the network, the network welcomes anyone to come and do business, but I am not in charge of this, you are looking for the wrong person."
McCrouch said with a blank face.
"yes, what if I have this?"
Yuri pulls out the information he was carrying, and then disintangles the data so that McCrouch can see it. (I forgot if I said earlier, ghosts can make things and people invisible when they are touched)
When he saw the word "network" on the data, McLawch's pupils suddenly shrank.
He knew how much his eldest sister blacksmith valued this information, and Axel lost it and was almost killed by the blacksmith.
"What do you want?"
McLaw asked again, this time with a lot more seriousness.
"You can't represent the Internet, so you're not qualified to talk to me." Yuri said unceremoniously.
"Tell the blacksmith that if she doesn't want her plans exposed, then let her come alone to the place I have appointed at twelve o'clock tomorrow noon, or else......"
Yuri snorted coldly and said, "I'll put this information in the office of the action team of the Super Investigation Department, of course you can try to bet on whether I can do this, provided you can afford it." ”
As soon as he heard the name of the Super Investigation Department, McLaw suddenly became jealous.
The reason why the Internet has not been targeted by the Superinvestigation Department for so many years is because the blacksmith has never reached out of Midtown, nor has he done anything out of the ordinary.
But if the blacksmith's current plan is exposed, then it is impossible for the Super Investigation Department to let the network go unchecked.
"Where is your designated location?" McCrouch asked.
Yuri's eyes lit up.
"The Flash Museum."
