Chapter 274: Rio
After coming to the tavern a few times, Locke didn't go again, after all, he was just seeing the new, and he usually had a lot of things, such as developing his newly acquired ability to manipulate electromagnetic forces, and how to transplant bloodlines and learning prescriptions from Demon Slayer's Blade.
The first two need to be done step by step, and the final prescription experiment is not so satisfactory.
Locke discovered that after taking the full prescription, the subject would indeed become a 'ghost' who was not afraid of sunlight, and could also eat normal human food.
But if you want to improve your strength, you still need to eat people, and at the same time, when facing humans, you will also have an extraordinary appetite, and it is very easy to be affected by your strong appetite, and you will become a 'ghost' who likes to eat people and has no weaknesses.
Originally, Locke had the idea of using this prescription to strengthen the strength of his subordinates, but after realizing this, he could only give up his original idea and put the prescription on hold.
After all, he doesn't want to create monsters that feed on humans, which really challenges his bottom line as a human.
With some disappointment to clear all traces of the experiment, Locke suddenly received a special text message, he glanced at it, frowned slightly, and after a few phone calls, arranged a direct private jet to Brazil.
The text message was sent by Catalia about Lorraine's sudden loss of contact in Brazil.
Even Locke was a bit surprised by the news, and since that time he took control of Lorraine, Locke has provided her with a sum of money that she can use to develop her power so that she can do some dirty work when needed.
Catalia was also specially arranged to work under her, one is to help, and the other is to monitor.
He really didn't expect Lorraine to run into any trouble, after all, now under the pseudonym of Seifer, she hadn't met the protagonist aura of that group of lumberjacks
But this happened anyway, and this matter has a little to do with Locke.
Although Lorraine is preparing to gradually expand her own power to the world, she is still mainly in the United States at this stage, and this time she went to Brazil mainly to personally take away an important thing - the blood orchid.
Lorraine plans to establish a global criminal organization, which naturally requires fighting and killing, so Locke gives her the recipe for the medicinal bath obtained from the textile factory.
Even the prescription he had obtained from the Demon Slayer Blade this time, if it could be used, he was going to take out a few copies to strengthen Lorraine and her men first.
Now that he has obtained the formula for the medicinal bath, he naturally needs raw materials, and Locke also handed over the blood orchid planting point in Brazil to Lorraine, and this time Lorraine had an accident and suddenly lost contact when he was about to go to Brazil to collect mature blood orchids.
"Haven't heard from her yet? Continue to arrange for people to inquire and report to me as soon as there is news. Sitting in the seat of the private jet, Locke hung up the phone, his fingers tapping regularly on the armrest.
The cultivation site of the blood orchid is very secretive, and after learning about the existence of the blood orchid from the textile factory, he made a special trip to Brazil, and changed the planting location to a place that only he knows.
After returning from the Harry Potter world, he deliberately transplanted a part of the blood orchid in the fairy tale world, and then transferred this planting point to Lorraine, before that, only Locke knew the location of the planting point.
According to Catalia, Lorraine also only brought a few cronies to Brazil, and Catalia didn't even know why Lorraine had gone, only to find out that something was wrong because Lorraine didn't contact her on time.
Locke only guessed that she was going to collect the blood orchid based on the location where Lorraine went to Brazil, and now it seems that she was most likely ambushed by someone.
"Don't you have any news there?" Locke looked at Vanessa, who was sitting across from her.
"I've already contacted a few familiar snakes in Brazil, and I'll definitely tell you if there's a situation."
"Okay." Locke nodded, knowing that he could only wait for news for the time being.
His power and network are basically in the United States, and there are indeed channels to extend to Brazil, more with the help of official or related channels, but there are many circles, not to mention, the key is that it is very easy to startle the snake, maybe if you don't find someone, let others know your existence, which is inconsistent with Locke's plan to put aside the relationship on his face.
After getting off the plane in Rio, Locke and Vanessa stayed at the hotel they had booked, and then went incognito, using the shapeshifter to go to the place where the blood orchid was planted, and found some blood stains and two corpses.
The two corpses were not Lorraine's, and after carefully checking the scene, they found a large number of footprints of standard military boots, which probably restored the scene, and Lorraine was most likely ambushed and besieged by a group of people and then caught.
There were not many bullet marks at the scene, and the two people were also killed by snipers, whether they were mentally calculated or unintentional, no wonder Lorraine did not escape.
Back at the hotel, Locke said to Vanessa: "You inquire, whether the garrison in this area has been transferred or something." ”
Vanessa nodded, made a few phone calls and went out, and Locke went out alone.
Rio de Janeiro is a world-famous tourist city with extremely beautiful scenery, but on the other hand, New York is known as Big Brother Tan, but compared to here, it is already a paradise on earth.
At least the gang of Ouyang Feng traffickers in New York will not send people, and they will stand at the entrance of the block with automatic weapons to guard their own territory.
New York traffickers would hide their guns under their clothing or hide them in hidden corners, and they would not dare to use powerful weapons in the open.
Rio's thriving and affluent city centre and the south, where the wealthy and foreign tourists go most, while the rest of the city is dotted with slums of all sizes, are at odds with each other.
Locke felt that he had some negligence, and he should give Lorraine a magic item or two, not to mention to save his life at a critical time, and let himself find her at any time.
The high-rise buildings in the central district of the city are very conspicuous in the sun, and Locke walked not far from the hotel, when he passed by the famous Copacabana beach, he looked at the bikini beauties there, and also had some regrets in his heart.
He didn't come here to play, at least not before he found Lorraine.
Compared to the famous Copacabana beach, Rio's slums are also very prominent, and from a distance, the houses are stacked on top of each other.
There is no overall planning for these buildings, and everyone builds their own buildings, which accumulate year by year, and naturally form their current appearance.
As the old saying goes, with the mountains and the sea in the background, it is a good place of first class, and many slums occupy these best locations
On the contrary, the rich areas are concentrated at the foot of the mountain, closer to the coast, in contrast to the situation where the poor live at the bottom of the mountain and the rich live on the mountain in most places.
Locke's destination is Rosillia, one of the largest slums in Rio.
Ironically, it is the world-famous Mount Jesus, with a statue of the Father at the top of the hill that overlooks the most difficult people living in Rio.
Even though the people here have their eyes on Rio's most beautiful Ipanema beach, they still live the hardest life.
Vanessa went to contact her informant to find clues, and Locke naturally had his own direction to look for, he knew that there was a guy here, the white glove of the head of the garrison closest to the blood orchid planting site.
From the traces left in the place where the blood orchid was planted, Locke could basically tell that the large army that attacked and captured Lorraine came from the Brazilian army.
