Chapter 143: Flesh and Blood Shape
Once upon a time, Curt had seen such a person.
These people value rules, remain loyal, and discipline at the same time, but they don't care about the freedom and worth of others. They act by the rules while also demanding that others act according to their "rules", and if someone is unwilling to follow their values, they will incur their hatred.
They avoided breaking the law as much as possible, partly because of their education and partly because their interests depended on the protection of discipline. But they don't necessarily care about the assurances they make, even if they are attacked by those who have opposing morals.
That is to say...... You've wasted so much time chasing that so-called 'suspicious guy' and you've ended up with nothing? Don't you mercenaries always boast of being quick and effective in completing tasks? Now you can't even catch a crouch in a slum. ”
Looking at Curt with a hippie smile, Pike was angry, but he was still holding back his anger. He crunched his teeth, and the slightly trembling sound seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth. A pair of light brown eyes burned with flames, almost spewing out of their mouths.
If he hadn't confessed his mistake, the Pike Guard in front of him seemed to be one of those people who liked the class system, because they could rule over their subordinates, and they would obey their superiors because of the rules. But if someone falls outside the rules he considers, he will inevitably suffer from his hostility.
Curt thought about it for a moment, and it was probably because of his own self-style, which led to the displeasure of the Parker security officer. Compared to the strict security team, the mercenaries are too loosely organized. The principle of overly liberal operations was also a source of resentment among the garrison towards the mercenaries.
The friction between the two camps has been going on for a long time, but it is not easy to stand out like this security officer. In fact. Many security officers have begun to consider a resilient approach to solving problems, and there are very few officers like Pike.
Although he knew that part of it was due to his own casual overstepping, Curt still ignored the nearby security officer. His attention was drawn to the men who were still questioning the team of security officers, and there seemed to be something going on.
The stumbling whispers of the staff turned into a noticeable commotion, and the officers grabbed one of the staff members and shouted at him. The staff member who was caught couldn't be caught honestly, and he struggled to break free from the security officer's shackles. But he didn't have any chance.
The moment he tried to escape, the "companions" who had been standing with him immediately reacted and grabbed all his retreats, and took out the shackles used to deal with the prisoners and locked his hands. The conflict lasted only a short time before it ended. The handcuffed staff was sent behind the curtain of history, and he didn't know what would await him there.
How could it be impossible to attract the attention of people nearby after such a big commotion, and the staff who saw the whole process of arresting suddenly became nervous, and they talked loudly about the situation. The uneasy expression was brought from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. The previously precarious atmosphere became even more pronounced.
Even the reporters standing outside the cordon noticed this, and although they didn't know what was going on, their keen sense of smell allowed them to smell the news. Led by a few bold guys, the reporters who were surrounding the scene were all agitated, trying to break through the security officer's blockade.
Suddenly, the pressure on the security officer in charge of the blockade increased, but the experience made them act immediately. Of course, they could not violently drive away the journalists, so they could only wave their hands and signal them to leave. At the same time, they used their bodies to form a human wall to keep the reporters out of the blockade.
"I don't think you need to look for those fakes in public. Curt said to Pike, half teasing in his tone. "It's a hassle to have a sneaker in the team, but if you let those reporters know, it will be a big problem, right?"
His gaze was still on the crowd that was constantly stirring over there, and what had just happened confirmed the worries in the hearts of the members of the garrison, and there were indeed members of the enemy mixed in with them. This made them all nervous, and their wary eyes were sent to the team members who were still waiting to be questioned
Apparently Pike had already thought about the problem, and he glanced at the staff who were still talking in private, whether it was them or the security officers in charge of the investigation, the expression on his face was a little subtle. Even the staff members who have already experienced themselves seem to be a little entangled.
Distrust is spreading, and even if you can prove that they are the real people, there will still be suspicion between them. In addition to the staff who appeared here today, it is also possible that the team members who did not show up may be fakes.
Because no one can guarantee that the colleague who appeared in front of them later has been replaced...... Even if you are talking and laughing with yourself one minute, you are not sure that the next moment you will be attacked by your "companions" behind your back - no one would be happy to be treated like this.
But that didn't shake Pike's will, and he looked at Curt and shouted, "You don't need to talk about these things—answer my questions quickly!Mr. Curt?Leinster, what did you show up when I asked you to investigate in the neighborhood? I don't think you showed anything." ”
His domineering tone was full of distrust, and it was clear that the security officer had never believed the evidence provided by Curt all along. After all, he was a "supernumerary", so whether it was to cooperate with the request or to share the information, he did not have the full trust of the garrison.
"Of course, it's not like you didn't get anything. After a long time together, Curt had figured out the temper of some of the people in the garrison, and he said with a fake smile on his face, "At least I have this thing, and it's probably what makes those guys your teammates." ”
In Pike's distrustful eyes, Curt took the serpentine dagger from his pocket and handed it to him. The serpentine blade reflected the light of the rising sun, and there seemed to be a little blood left on the blade, and what little magic was left slowly emanating from the blade.
"What is this...... A ceremonial dagger?" he snatched the serpentine dagger from Curt's hand, and looked up and down in his hand, he was now more interested in this strange dagger than embarrassed Curt, "Sue me, where did you get this dagger?"
The serpentine ritual dagger was the crux of the matter—at least that's what Curt said. Although Pike didn't believe much in what Curt said, the magic emanating from inside it really couldn't be ignored, it was indeed a spell product, and the spell product that could change people's appearance did exist.
"Pretty sharp......
Pike, who was playing with the serpentine dagger, suddenly gasped and reflexively threw the dagger to the ground. It turned out that the sharp blade of the dagger had scratched his fingertips, and a trace of red left a trace from his fingertips, flowing down the blood groove on the edge of the blade to the root of the blade.
"Pike, are you alright? ”
Another security officer standing next to him walked over and looked at the wound on his hand. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he picked up the serpentine dagger that had been thrown to the ground by the Pike Guard—perhaps he would later regret such a thoughtless act he had made without thinking at this time.
"This ...... Damn, what's going on?" The moment he picked up the serpentine dagger, the guard covered his head sharply, and he dangled as if he was drunk, "Pike, Leinster...... Oops, there seems to be something wrong with this dagger, and I feel like something is not quite right with my body. ”
Curt could feel a surge of magic pouring from the dagger into the guard's body, indicating that the spell attached to it had taken effect. The unbalanced guard staggered a few times and sat on the ground, clutching his head, sweat covering his forehead.
Curt had experienced this feeling not long ago, so he knew a lot about what was going on with the guard officer now - the change spell was to change the structure of flesh and blood, and of course it would not make it easy for the recipient.
Soon, the guard sitting on the ground hunched his back, and he felt his internal organs begin to twist and churn, as if he had just swallowed a living snake, and the pain almost made him unable to straighten his back. He gritted his teeth, and the sensation of burning fire spread through his stomach quickly.
Immediately afterward, the guard gasped, and the sensation of the fire becoming more and more obvious, and his limbs seemed to melt away with the heat. Not just his body, he felt the skin of his whole body change shape like a candle roasted by fire.
Under the eyes of everyone, the appearance of the security officer changed.
His hands were thicker, his nails wider, his head was somehow shortening, and the joints of his bones creaked and grew rapidly. In a matter of moments, his shoulders widened, and as his muscles became solid, his clothes bulged out because they didn't fit. Like a sausage stuffed with meat, his feet struggled painfully in shoes a few sizes smaller......
A moment later, as abrupt as it had begun, a qiē stopped again.
The frightened guard sat up, and it seemed that he still retained all consciousness, and he gasped, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said slowly with palpitations: "Oh my God...... What the hell was going on, I thought I was going to die in the line of duty. ”
Then he covered his mouth in astonishment—for it wasn't his own voice coming out of his mouth, but the somewhat harsh voice of Sergeant Pike. (To be continued!)
