Chapter 69: Disguise

"The information we have so far is that this organization, or group, is particularly keen on the spread of the Fountain of Youth, and is constantly spreading its influence."

"From those who have taken the Fountain of Youth, the message from the side is."

"Most of these people who peddle the Fountain of Youth, appear alone, often with ordinary and featureless faces...... It is suspected that this group of people has some kind of special camouflage ability...... Later, when we raided and controlled those suspected locations, we also verified this. This group of people's ability to deceive or deceive may be able to disguise them as anyone."

"Judging from their abilities and other information gathered, this group of people may not be directly related to the 'gods' behind the Fountain of Youth, and there may be other powerful beings behind them."

"I don't understand what they're doing yet."

The investigator continued to report to Lao Chen.

When Lao Chen heard this, he paused and said,

"What other purpose can there be, if there is a god behind it, then what is it to do is to want their god to come."

"Investigator Tatsu's wisdom."

The investigator also paused, and then said with a smile on his face.

Lao Chen turned his head, looked at the investigator again, and then shook his head,

"Go on, what else is there?"

"According to those who have taken the Fountain of Youth, it does have the effect of restoring body functions and rejuvenating in the early stage, and the Fountain of Youth's vitality will continue to be released in the body of the user.

However, with the passage of time or the use of Fountain of Youth, the Fountain of Youth's true appearance will gradually be revealed. It is a special material that exudes pollution...... People who take it are severely affected.

Both the mind and the body will move closer to a greater state...... It's just that this kind of closeness will not be what those who take the Fountain of Youth's expectation at first, and in the end, until the body is completely out of control."

"However, some of the people we have come into contact with who have undergone physical changes seem to have been influenced by the bewitchment and deception abilities of that group of people, or the influence of the gods behind the Fountain of Youth, or still firmly believe that the Fountain of Youth, which can bring them continuous life, or think that even if there is a slight change in the body, all this is acceptable in the face of a continuous extended life...... More seriously, they look forward to returning to the bosom of their Lord."

At this point, a smile crossed the investigator's face.

"What about you...... Investigator Yang? Do you also look forward to returning to the bosom of your Lord?"

Lao Chen's gaze as he looked out of the house lowered again, and fell on the investigator who had been in front of him and reported the situation to him, and asked calmly.

The investigator paused, then smiled at Lao Chen again.

"No, I have not completed the mission that the Lord has given me and the honor of returning to the Lord's bosom before spreading the glory of the Lord and allowing the Lord to come into this world."

The investigator-like man spread his hands and said calmly,

And then ask,

"When did Investigator Tatsu find out?"

"When you say you're pretending to be a hidden power."

"Then it seems that my disguise and deception are not so perfect, and I have failed the glory of the Lord."

"Fake, always fake. I've worked with Lao Yang for several years, and the moment you came in, it really made me forget that Lao Yang had died in the handling of an incident."

Lao Chen looked at this familiar and unfamiliar face, and there was no expression in his eyes.

"No, Investigator Tatsuna, you're wrong. All the words of our Lord are true, and all the things of our Lord are true, and nothing is false. Everything is true, and if Investigator Chen is willing, I am Investigator Yang."

The investigator-like man replied with a smile.

Lao Chen looked at him and didn't speak.

The investigator-looking man just laughed.

After a period of silence, Lao Chen turned to the side, and then looked out of the house,

"Can you tell me now, what are you hiding?"

"Of course, when your organization searched and controlled our location, I naturally walked into your organization

of the team. Oh...... Actually, I'm not the only one, but they've all escaped."

"Your organization is truly powerful, and even though it is subtle, when confronted, it can be concealed by the true power given by the Lord. But at the macro level, we can always find our existence."

"And what do you want to do now?"

Lao Chen was still calm and asked back.

「…… We're not enemies, are we? Investigator Tatsu."

"Our Lord is merciful and great, forgiving and generous. After the coming of our Lord, this world will be full and happy, peaceful and happy, and people will live in a future where their wishes will be fulfilled and in a full future, without sorrow, without pain, and without even death, and that every one of them will be able to live well and continue to live."

"There will be no other evil gods, false gods coming to this world, and the great Lord will tolerate and protect everything in this world. Isn't that better than this bad world right now?"

"So Investigator Chen, you and your organization don't have to be hostile to us, neither the Lord nor his lamb will destroy this world, we have a basis for cooperation."

The person who still maintained the appearance of an investigator described it to Lao Chen with a smile.

Lao Chen paused, and he really subconsciously followed what this person said, thinking about the feasibility.

It wasn't until these words conflicted with Lao Chen's own logic that Lao Chen's idea of extending down suddenly stopped.

"You're very good at demagoguery."

Lao Chen looked at the investigator-like person.

"Thank you, Investigator Tatsu, for the compliment, it's my pleasure."

The man lowered his head and said with a smile on his face.

And Lao Chen had a calm face, but at this time he suddenly made a move,

A hot, blinding light appeared above the palm of his hand, and an attack pierced the man's chest.

「…… And I have said that the works of my Lord and his Lamb are true."

"Investigator Tatsu slapped his old colleague to death with his own hands, will he have nightmares at night?"

The man's face was distorted in pain, but then he laughed again,

In the process of laughing, his body collapsed into a puddle of rotten flesh, leaving only a blood-burning, torn piece of clothing, which collapsed to the ground.

And before he died, he left the last words,

"Could it be that now you shoot me to death, this Investigator Yang is my demagogue and deception?"

Lao Chen withdrew his hand and looked at the broken flesh and blood all over the ground, and his expression did not change.

But there is some anger, anger at these damn monstrous things, deceiving themselves with the faces of their deceased colleagues, comrades-in-arms.

But not carried away by anger either.

He could clearly feel that the rotten flesh on the ground really belonged to the man just now.

His highly inspired perception told him that the man was dead.

A disguise with life?

Or is this death also a deception?

Lao Chen lowered his head, looking at the minced meat all over the ground and thinking.

Until, I received a message from the Apocalyptic Organization, the Apocalypse.

"Revelation: Stumbled upon a bit of information about the Dream Dagger.

Enlightenment: If you are interested, you can go to Anmin Community, Linhe Street, South of Wang'an City...... There was a wielder of the Dream Dagger.

Lao Chen: Dream dagger?

Revelation: True. It's the dream dagger that Investigator Tatsu thought of. The function is the same, but it has increased side effects, and it comes at a cost to get the wish done.

Revelation: In addition, the power behind the Dream Dagger may have changed. You can feel the power of demagogy on it.

Lao Chen: Bewitched?

Revelation: True.

Lao Chen: Thank you for the information provided by your organization, and there will be investigators from the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation to deal with this matter."

Lao Chen looked at the message from the revelation and paused again.

Dream Dagger...... Bewitchment, it is natural to think of the group of people who have the power of bewitchment and deception, and spread the influence of the Fountain of Immortality everywhere.

What they want to do

Is it?

Let their gods come down?

How are they going to do it, spreading the influence of the Fountain of Youth, the Dagger of Dreams?

More people who are demagogued?

Will this allow their gods to come down?

Lao Chen followed this logic and sorted out the whole thing.

Then he raised his head and called an investigator again, and arranged the matter involving the dream dagger.

「…… It is said that there is a dagger that can grant all wishes, as long as you are willing to pay the price."

「…… Landlord, what kind of story are you making up here?"

「…… Ha ha...... Story?"

On the Internet, I don't know when, some similar posts gradually popped up, and at the beginning they only existed on the edge of the Internet.

Gradually, it began to appear on some mainstream forums and even social platforms.

However, most of these posts are extraordinarily subtle, and shortly after they are posted, they are either drowned out by other posts or disappear within a short period of time.

Not many people will see it at all.

「…… Why don't you get a wishing bucket and shout at the bucket to make your wish come true?"

Xu He is a lover of raising bars, a strong contender for the golden keyboard of the Internet, and the embodiment of the word troll.

I love to lift the bar with the person who lifts the bar the most in my life, sprays each other with the squirting people, and pulls nonsense with the people who are.

But at this time, browsing a frequently attended forum, seeing the title and content of this post, I can't raise the interest in replying and complaining.

muttered a sentence in his mouth, and naturally crossed over.

「…… Hello, takeaway."

At this time, someone shouted outside the house.

After Xu He paused, he stood up and opened the door to get takeout.

"Thank you, for your hard work."

On the Internet, the god is possessed, and in reality, he is polite.

After thanking him, Xu He took the takeaway.

The delivery man outside the door rarely responded, just turned around and left.

"So busy?"

Waiting for Xu He to raise his head and look again, he only saw the elevator that had almost closed the door and the back of the previous takeaway.

"Good fellow...... It's pretty heavy."

Xu He turned his head and closed the door, while weighing the takeaway in his hand,

At the end of the month, people can't help themselves, and they make yellow stewed chicken with instant noodles every day.

Yesterday, I ate three dishes and one soup, and today I got 20 yuan of spicy tang.

But at this time, carrying this opaque takeaway bag, it feels quite heavy.

I guess I added a lot of water, right?

Thinking about it, Xu He opened the takeaway bag.

Then, looking inside, I was stunned for a moment.

「…… Dagger?"

"Just drop something in, and you can drop a dagger into it?"

Next to the small take-out box, there was a sharp and simple dagger inlaid with gems.

It's good to hang and pierce the takeaway bag.

couldn't help muttering, Xu He still had his hands faster than his brain, and picked up the dagger.

Holding it in his hand, the dagger was heavy.

"Good fellow...... It's pretty heavy......

As he spoke, Xu He's voice became lower and lower.

Another thought came to his mind more and more clearly.

He thought of the post he had just seen, and at the same time, he had a thought in his heart that kept telling him,

Maybe...... This dagger grants wishes.

Why don't you give it a try...... Even if it costs a little, it's nothing.

The expression in Xu He's eyes visibly underwent some changes with the naked eye,

First, there was a sudden dazed trance, followed by a slow downward gaze, looking at this dagger that was as exquisite as a work of art, and his eyes fell into obsession.

Gently stroked, and then said his wish in his mouth,

「…… If you really

If you can make your wish come true, give me a little money...... No, it's a lot of money......

With the stroke, Xu He's palm was cut by the blade, and the blood kept dripping to the ground, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.

Immediately after, with some fanaticism and excitement, Xu He stood up, took the dagger, his hand dripping with blood, and went out to fulfill his wish.

「…… I heard that there is a dagger that is capable of granting any wish...... Maybe it has something to do with some kind of special monster...... But it is possible to make the wish come true.

Some even resurrected the dead with it."

In the room, Jing Chen held his mobile phone and looked at a banned post displayed on the Apocalypse trading platform.

But the fact that the content of this post can be affected on the Revelation platform already says a lot.

At the very least, the message has spread within a certain range.

It may be that the group of people who have mastered the power of demagogy and deception are spreading the influence of this matter.

Some people have a lot of regrets, and the existence of the dream dagger seems to fill the possibility of making up for regrets.

Ordinary people may still laugh when they see the relevant information.

But on the Apocalypse trading platform, most of the people who have taken potions know that this is something that may exist.

Calm down, you may still be able to think that this item is estimated to have huge side effects, so be vigilant.

But the one who was stabbed in the pain point is like the resurrection of the deceased mentioned in this post...... If it is possible to resurrect a deceased loved one, for some people, even if it costs nothing.

If even so, it's just a swing...... Then this dagger will appear in front of you again.

But regardless of whether or not you try to get it, use this dagger.

At least there are many people who believe in the existence of the Dream Dagger.

Think of the "Fountain of Youth" again...... It seems like that's what the group is trying to do.

Jing Chen looked at the post on the Divine Revelation Platform and thought,

Turning his head again, he weighed the dream dagger he was still holding in his hand,

「…… You've got a lot of that."

The news can spread to this extent, Jing Chen doesn't believe it, the so-called dream dagger is the one in his hand.

However, the Dream Dagger naturally wouldn't answer Jing Chen's words, but it still exuded that bewitching power.

It's like urging Jing Chen to use him, like a ravine of desire, constantly exuding temptation.

But in Jing Chen's perception...... Seduction and temptation are not ...... It just made Jing Chen a little annoyed.

It's like a fly, buzzing constantly.

It's tempting to slap it to death.

Jing Chen frowned slightly, put down the dagger, and looked out the window again.

Logically ...... He wanted to get more information about the group.

It's better to find someone who hasn't been caught by the Anomalies and has the power of demagogy.

But where to look now?

Jing Chen fell into deep thought.

「…… The whole world will dance under the majesty of the Lord."

"All we need to do is complete this grand ceremony to welcome the coming of the Lord."

On the other side, two investigators from the Investigation Bureau walked inside the Investigation Bureau of Wang'an City, communicating in the open.

"According to some of the discussions on the Revelation platform and other sources...... We are almost done with this grand ceremony."

"Ha, it's a great feat to invent something that doesn't exist, to create a lie that is absurd enough for many people to believe."

"No, you're wrong...... It's not a lie, it's true. The Fountain of Youth's real existence, so does the Dream Dagger."

"Yes...... Please forgive me for my ignorance...... Lord, everything you say is true and what you do is true."

The two investigators repeated the prayer in a religious whisper.

「…… Reputedly. Among the powers in the hands of the Anomaly, there is also a special power......

"On the banks of the Wang'an River...... There is a God

The existence of the secret ...... Except for the 12 senior investigators of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, no one else is very clear about the details."

"It is better to know more so that all obstacles may be cleared for the coming of my Lord."

"No...... There is no obstacle to the coming of our Lord, but we, the lost Lambs, want to contribute to the Lord."

The two investigators were talking again.

An investigator walked by, seemingly oblivious to the content of their exchange.
