Speaking to this old man of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, Jing Chen basically told the truth.

It was true that he had never used the 'Lord of Flesh' potion, and he really didn't know what kind of power it could bring.

As for what the people in the Anomaly Bureau think, it's none of his business.

Jing Chen didn't lie...... Well, the most perfect lie is to tell the truth.

And he opened his mouth to the lion of the Abnormal Bureau, just to try.

Bidding all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back, his psychological bottom line is a pair of potion recipes with some potion materials.

Who knows that although the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau did not agree to change the three pairs of potion formulas to one pair, it took the initiative to offer the price of two pairs of formulas.

This feels like a stall on the side of the road in Jingchen, and the guests who came asked how to sell the broken bowls collected for three yuan on the stall.

Jing Chen opened his mouth and said 80,000, but the other side hesitated for a while and asked if 60,000 was okay.

At the same time, Jing Chen was excited, but he was a little weak-hearted, did he still sell at a loss?

However, for Jing Chen, the recipe for the 'Lord of Flesh and Blood' was all obtained from the Future Alien Bureau.

No loss anyway.

The reason why it seems like it took a long time to reply to the message is just a psychological game.

In the process,

He poured a glass of water, opened a bottle of Coke,

If it weren't for the fear of delaying for too long, the other side couldn't wait, and he was ready to make a pot of tea.

……

On the other side, Lao Chen, who received Jing Chen's reply message again, a few mice,

is a little grim.

The four were not surprised that the 'Revelation' gentleman would be selective in answering their questions.

If you say everything, you won't hide your identity like this.

But the latter sentence is what makes the four of Lao Chen wait.

Lao Chen put down his phone, raised his head, looked at the other three, and saw the middle-aged lady, the mouse had the same serious expression on his face, and the reptile also put his hand on the conference table.

"What do you think of this Mr. Revelation who wants me to 'face-to-face' with him?"

"He had been hiding his identity before, but now he took the initiative to make this kind of proposal that could easily reveal his information."

The reptile said hoarsely.

"It doesn't have to reveal information about him, you forgot the video we just watched."

The middle-aged lady took over and said.

"But he must have some purpose."

"Ritual ......"

The old man in military uniform was silent for a while, and two words softly spat out from his mouth.

"Some kind of need, a ritual to confront each other to a certain extent?"

The middle-aged lady followed, with some vigilance in her eyes.

"What does he want to do? The conditions we have given are already very generous. ”

The reptile has been trapped by the side effects of potions and the injuries that he has not been able to suffer recently, and his mood has been a little unstable.

At this moment, he lowered his head, and said again in a hoarse and suppressed voice.

The old man in military uniform raised his head, looked at the reptile, looked at the noblewoman, the mouse, and lowered his head again,

They could not afford not to consider the purpose of the mysterious 'Revelation' for making such a request.

Especially the last person who was 'enlightened' through a video call, Song Zhou's current situation.

"I'll ask again."

The old man in military uniform picked up his phone again.

……

"Lao Chen: For the question that you don't want to answer, Mr. Revelation, this is natural.

Lao Chen: But for your request for a video call, Mr. Revelation, do you have any special needs?

Lao Chen: I'm sorry, but we just met Comrade Song Zhou, who had a video call with you, and his situation is really not optimistic. This inevitably makes us a little suspicious. ”

Jing Chen picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and looked at the news sent by this 'old man' of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau,

He wanted to have another video call with this 'old man', so naturally he just wanted to get a little more wool from the Abnormal Tone Bureau.

Then take the wool and exchange it with the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau after a while, which can be regarded as a mutual benefit and win-win situation.

However, the consequences of the video call with Na Song Zhou just now have affected what I want to do now......

"Revelation: If you don't look me in the eye, you'll be fine."

This is a somewhat arrogant, even contemptuous, remark.

But Jing Chen didn't have any psychological pressure, he just subconsciously played out.

It feels like a truth from the bottom of my heart.

waited for it to be sent out before I reacted.

Isn't this a little arrogant?

Did the indulgence of the previous two months inflate me a little?

Jing Chen's eyes showed some doubts, and then he looked at his phone more, waiting for Lao Chen on the other side to reply to the message.

And the other side.

Looking at this 'revelation' gentleman's reply, which is not a reply,

Lao Chen was a little silent, and when he showed it to the other three, they were all silent.

“…… He put him in a higher position than we are, and he thinks he is stronger than us. ”

The middle-aged lady spoke up first,

"It's either self-thought, or stronger than us."

The reptile said hoarsely,

"At least he's showing qualities that we can't do."

Then the middle-aged lady, the mouse raised her head again and looked at Lao Chen,

Lao Chen was silent for a while, then raised his head and smiled,

"Prepare for a call with this mysterious Mr. Apocalypse. You watch from the sidelines, and if there is a problem, interrupt the call in time. ”

"I'll do it."

The reptilian propped himself up on the conference table and stood up.

"Forget it, reptiles, you better save your strength and deal with those monsters."

Lao Chen also got up and patted the reptile on the shoulder, and the mouse also went over and reached out to hug the reptile.

"Mouse, you're getting smelly......"

"Haha...... That can't be helped. ”

The reptile lowered its head and spoke again. The mouse didn't care, just smiled.

Lao Chen stood there, lowered his head, and sent a message back to Mr. Revelation.

"Lao Chen: We agree to your request, but we still need you to wait a while.

Lao Chen: We need to prepare the recipe for your trade with Mr. Revelation. ”

"Revelation: Good."

……

"Hello, Mr. Apocalypse. I'm Lao Chen, an investigator in the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations. ”

After a while, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau took the initiative to call a video call, and Jing Chen was connected.

In the screen of a video call,

Jing Chen's side is still the same as before, wearing a black mask and facing the white wall.

The study room is perfectly soundproofed, and it is also fully isolated from possible noise.

However, if you want to check, maybe the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation can still confirm the community or even the building where Jingchen is located through the signal base station.

However, the previous anomaly bureau did not reveal his identity,

That can only mean that for some reason that Jing Chen doesn't know, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau can't find out his location.

Or, the Bureau of Anomalies has actually found out his identity, but everyone knows it. If you play me, I will act, if you want to expose it, I will vote immediately. Anyway, it's always a loss.

Now, in either case, let's leave it as it is.

And on the other side of the screen,

Lao Chen did not make any preparations to cover up his identity, so he showed his face generously.

Let Jing Chen see this old man in an old military uniform and standing straight through a video call.

"Hello Mr. Chen."

Jing Chen looked at the video and drew the old man in military uniform, and replied hoarsely.

In the picture, the old man in military uniform frowned slightly after Jing Chen's words passed.

He was a little uncomfortable, probably as one of the twelve most powerful senior investigators of the Heterogeneous Investigation Bureau, he could perceive much more things than Song Zhou before.

I obviously heard the normal words in my ears, but my mind was like a knife, and my heart was extremely irritable.

Raising his head and looking at Mr. 'Revelation' in the picture, he first saw the normal figure, and then felt that the whole picture in his vision was a little distorted, and it felt like something was about to emerge from the more real world around him.

"Mr. Revelation is polite, call me Lao Chen, or whatever you call it."

Lao Chen lowered his head.

"Hmm...... Tatsu Investigator. ”

Jing Chen's voice was hoarse and changed his name.

“…… Mr. Apocalypse, here are some potion recipes that we have for you to trade with your recipes, and you can choose any two of them. ”

"Shall I send you the introduction to these potions, or will I tell you directly?"

"Troublesome investigator explains."

"Okay."

The exchange went straight to the point, and Lao Chen picked up a list in his hand.

"First of all, we named the potion 'Pestile and Filth.'"

"After taking this potion, if the user can withstand the initial contamination, they will be able to grasp the ability to deal with disease and filth, and to some extent, to control viruses and diseases."

"When you take it for the first time, in addition to pollution, your body will also suffer from various diseases, and if you can't resist it, you will become a monster covered with sarcoma."

"And the constant side effect of this potion is that it loves filth, and its temperament will be affected by the potion to some extent...... The effects are continuous, as is the contamination of people by potions.

When heavily polluted, it will become more and more like the source of this potion, and the result will be a bunch of twisted and chaotic monsters, or a pile of genetic fragments like a mess of minced meat.

Of course, the general effects of normal use of potions, whispering in the ear, and nightmares are also there. ”

This was the first time Jing Chen had heard the side effects of potions in their entirety, and it was obvious that this old man had also deliberately explained more information to him, a 'wild powerhouse'.

Under the mask, Jing Chen frowned slightly.

The side effects of this potion are too big for Jing Chen.

Not to mention whether the pollution caused by taking potions for the first time can survive it, the side effects that continue to be severe in the future are not light, and they can easily become monsters.

Not in a hurry to listen to the effects of the other potions next, Jing Chen asked again in a hoarse voice,

"How do you fight pollution?"

Jing Chen didn't ask what pollution meant.

“…… A firm will, a calm heart, the more you ask, the more you are susceptible to influence. ”

Lao Chen paused and said loudly.

Jing Chen took advantage of this brief moment to try to peek into the future of this investigator of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

Trying to get more information in the future picture.

Finally, Jing Chen still got more information from the mouth of the future Lao Chen.

“…… Pollution refers to the pervasive effects of those twisted and chaotic monsters, like the radiation emitted by nuclear waste all the time. ”

"The more powerful a person is, the more polluted the radiation on his body. If strong enough, perhaps a glance at us will cause us to crumble and die, even if He may not even notice us. ”

"In a way, that's the truth and the information that we can't understand......"

"Truth?"

"Hmm...... When you take potions, you are also polluted, and that is the pain of conflict in your mind and body because of the incompatibility you receive, the greater power, the knowledge. ”

"You feel as if your cells are collapsing, your genes seem to be dying, your spirit is dying, and you're being born with a myriad of crazy thoughts that are replacing your consciousness...... And if you can't hold on, in reality, at this time, your body has already begun to develop in the direction of the monster...... In fact...... We've experimented with fragments of genes taken from people who have taken potions, and they almost all quickly collapse and can't exist on their own. ”

This is the picture of the future, Lao Chen is explaining to a young junior.

Coincidentally, that young junior was Song Zhou.

With a little more understanding of the contamination of this potion, the image in front of me disappeared.

Jing Chen turned his gaze and saw Lao Chen on the other side of the video call standing quietly, lowering his gaze a little, not looking directly at his face.

"Hmm...... Troublesome Investigator will continue. ”

"Good. And then there's the second recipe called 'Lord of Darkness'"

"Ability is the ability to grasp the shadows, can easily hide in the shadows, can manipulate the shadows......"

"The special side effect is that I like the dark ...... extraordinarily"

"Third ......"

Jing Chen listened to this Lao Chen's introduction, and asked directly if he could.

If you can't ask, just peek into the future of Lao Chen.

All that was past, is present,

There will inevitably be traces in the future.

The past may belong to someone else, but the future is the realm of Jingchen.

After listening to this,

Jing Chen also gained a lot of knowledge about the mystery from Lao Chen, or the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau.

And with the knowledge obtained from the future, he occasionally talked to Lao Chen, and let Lao Chen judge that this Mr. Revelation has a full understanding of this knowledge.

“…… Mr. Revelation, these are the five formulas we offer, and Mr. Revelation can choose two of them. ”

“…… Troublesome Investigator read it again. ”

“…… Good. ”

Jing Chen listened while peeking into the future before, and to be honest, he still didn't listen carefully enough.

When Lao Chen heard Jing Chen's words, he didn't ask the reason, and directly re-described the abilities and side effects of the five potions.

After listening, Jing Chen fell into deep thought,

"I choose the 'Lord of Shadows' and the 'Spirit of Words'"

The description of the word potion is simple,

It is the words that increase the audience's convincing identity, and have a natural sense of closeness and basic trust in the control of words and spirits.

Words soothe the soul of the human spirit.

The side effects were ear-whispering that was worse than normal potions and a strange taste that tried to deceive people.

It's a potion that doesn't seem to be useful to monsters, but it's useful to people.

"Okay, Mr. Apocalypse, I'll read the potion recipe to you or send it to you."

"Send me these two potion recipes, and I read you this 'Lord of Flesh' recipe."

"Okay."

Lao Chen nodded, gestured to the side, and immediately after, Jing Chen received an encrypted file.

"Passwords are words and shadows."

"The recipe of the Lord of Flesh is 1000 grams of blood from the Glutton, 2 vines, and 1 sunflower......"

"These things, in the order I just said, are the potions of the Lord of Flesh and Blood."

"Experiment with the effects and side effects yourself...... Well, if you want to, you can tell me about the results. ”

Jing Chen looked at Lao Chen while concentrating, and said unhurriedly in his mouth.

In the end, Jing Chen's face under the mask unconsciously showed some smiles,

“…… Investigator Tatsuna, remember, I can say it again if I don't remember. ”

Turning his gaze back, Jing Chen's gaze fell on Lao Chen again, and the gaze of the investigator who looked at this Chen was much kinder.

"Remembered."

Lao Chen nodded, not letting Jing Chen say it again.

After a pause, when Lao Chen was about to speak again, Jing Chen spoke again,

"Investigator Chen, how are you going to give me the materials you need to give me?"

Jing Chen seemed to be laughing, and asked again in a hoarse voice.

This is a problem that Jing Chen can't solve.

He needed those materials, but he couldn't get this Chen investigator to give it to him in person, or send him a courier.

So what he can't solve...... Just push it to the other party.

“…… We have a ritual. As long as we do both at the same time, we are able to pass a small amount of something. The items needed for the ritual are also simple. ”

After a pause, Lao Chen said loudly,

"All it takes is four candles...... No information about you will be revealed, and we at the Bureau of Anomalies have no intention of snooping on you. ”

Look, how thoughtful the other party is.

"Okay, then do as you want."

"I've got people to prepare things...... At this time, can Mr. Revelation answer some of our questions first? ”

"Hmm...... Investigator Tatsu, you ask. ”

Jing Chen responded,

Then there was silence on the other side for a while, and Lao Chen raised his head for the first time facing Jing Chen, but he didn't peek into Jing Chen's eyes.

"The first question is...... Mr. Revelation, do you have faith? ”

Jing Chen listened, and the expression under the mask was stunned.
