Chapter Seventy-Four: The Divine "Mirror" (5300 Words!) )
Police station locker room.
Helen took off her clothes one by one, and a chubby policewoman watched cautiously.
Helen was disgusted by the slippery feeling of blood and the pungent smell of rust, and said with a crying voice, "Can I take a bath?" ”
The policewoman did not respond, and after she took off all her clothes, she gave her a basin of water and a towel, and a clean prison uniform, and asked her to wipe it down and put it on.
Familiar interrogation room.
Familiar old police officer.
Frank Wallendo, the same officer who had helped Helen find the black leader who had beaten her, walked in with some of the information available to him about the case.
He didn't sit down, he stood in front of Helen and looked down at her, "Miss Neo, you've been arrested, understand?" ”
Helen's panic recovered a little after changing her clothes, she stared into Frank's eyes and said pleadingly, "Please let me explain first." ”
Frank did not respond to her words, repeating: "Do you understand? ”
Helen hesitated and replied, "I understand, but."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Frank, who continued his routine statement: "You have the right to be silent, do you understand?" ”
As he spoke, Luke, who had been notified, pushed the door and entered.
There were only three people coming today, and Yaska was borrowed by another team to deal with a group of flocking bird monsters, and his abilities were particularly useful in this regard.
Seeing the professionals arrive, Frank consciously gave up the interrogation position.
Daxter expertly took out the "hypnotic charm", allowing Helen to tell the story of what had happened to her in a half-asleep state.
Several people found a place to exchange views.
Amisha frowned and asked, "Is it possible that she deliberately lied?" I mean, will these experts and scholars fool themselves through psychological suggestion or something in order to deal with interrogation? ”
Dast thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely, the effect of hypnotic spells is difficult for ordinary humans to resist. ”
Luke didn't think about the possibility of Helen lying, after this interrogation, he became more and more greedy for the charm, rubbed his hands, and asked, "Dust, do you sell this charm?" I'd like to have one on hand, too. ”
When Dast heard his words, he said with a smile: "After the last interrogation of that gang leader, I thought you would ask for it, but I didn't expect to hold back until now." ”
He directly handed the charm in his hand to Luke, and introduced, "The effect of a charm can only last for a maximum of two months, or four activations. Every half month, reduce the opportunity to excite; Each time it is provoked, it will also reduce the shelf life by half a month. ”
After speaking, he handed this charm to Luke, "This one was made not long ago, there is still a month left, two opportunities to be stimulated, and it can be regarded as a trial pack for you." ”
Luke smiled awkwardly, "Hey, that's embarrassing." ”
Then he took the charm and put it in his pocket.
Daxter turned his head to look at Amisha again, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's mainly that you can't use it if you give it to you." ”
Amisha may have been in contact with them for a long time, and knowing that she was joking, she rolled her eyes and said, "If Luke goes to study in that school next time, I will go with him, maybe I will still be a genius." ”
Luke and Dust burst into laughter.
After the ridicule, they began to discuss business again.
Luke said: "Since Candyman found Helen, did he not kill her, but tried his best to frame her. Then there must be something worth paying attention to in her. ”
Amisha agreed: "I think so, wouldn't it be better to kill Candyman just because it was just because of the report that Candyman didn't exist?" It inspires more fear of candy people. ”
Daxter: "I think so. ”
The two turned to look at him.
He waved his hand: "You two have finished speaking, what else can I say?" ”
He stood up, patted the dust that didn't exist, and said, "Get out of here, and see if you can catch this stupid fish." ”
Luke nodded, "Okay, but we still have to discuss the details, it's better to preset a battlefield, I think with Candyman's IQ, he will still get in." ”
Dast and Amisha thought about the previous scene for a moment, hey, really.
After the discussion, the three returned to the interrogation room together.
Helen didn't know what they were discussing outside, so she quickly explained, "You believe me, what I said just now is true. ”
Because Helen had no resistance to confessing the truth, she just regarded the influence of the hypnotic charm as the sequelae of being stunned by Candyman, and she didn't know that Luke was using supernatural means to make her confess, and she didn't know that her explanation had been accepted by the three.
She still explained in a panic: "Although what I said does sound strange, I promise with my life's reputation that I didn't say a word of lie, maybe you can go to that parking lot and have a look, maybe there will be some clues." ”
Luke thought to himself, of course I believe you, I know the candyman better than you do.
He smiled and waved his hand to calm Helen down and said, "Lady Helen, of course we want to believe you, but trust is not enough, we have to see Candyman with our own eyes to prove what you say." ”
Helen looked at him helplessly, "I don't know where that candy man came from, and it just appeared near me. ”
Daxter clapped his hands, drawing her attention.
"If it can suddenly appear near you once, it's likely to appear a second time, haven't you studied the legend of Candyman? Our suggestion is that you try to summon the Candyman according to the legend and with our cooperation, and if it succeeds, it means that what you say is true. ”
Helen has basically believed in the existence of Candyman, she has studied many legends of Candyman, and knows that most of the fate of summoning Candyman is killed by him, so she is a little timid and does not want to cooperate.
Amisha cooperated with the two of them in their persuasion, emphasizing several things to her.
First, she has been targeted by Candyman, and even if she doesn't summon Candyman, she can't escape the entanglement.
Second, Candyman had seen her, but didn't kill her, so the danger factor of summoning again shouldn't be too high.
Third, according to her description, Candyman is a rational and communicative being, and as long as he can communicate, he will not be in a desperate situation.
Luke is particularly sympathetic to the third point.
After much thought and psychological struggle, Helen finally agreed to Daxter's proposal.
In order to avoid Candyman's vigilance, Amisha contacted the lawyer provided by Helen and asked him to come to the police station to bail Helen out, Dast went to Helen's house one step ahead of schedule to set up the formation, and Luke followed Helen secretly to see if Candyman would always pay attention to her, and appeared as soon as he left the police station.
Luke, with Spider Sense, could not have done this kind of thing.
When Daxter called and said that the formation had been arranged, Luke motioned for the police staff and the lawyer to go through the motions and let Helen out temporarily.
The lawyer drove Helen home, with Luke trailing behind in his little Ford.
The journey was safe and nothing unusual happened.
As Helen got home, Luke stopped a little farther away, walked a distance, put on his hood, and Death Roar and Funeral Crow received the most recently made special bag, carried them behind them, and walked around Helen's house like an ordinary passerby, again without finding any trace of Candyman.
He walked briskly to Helen's door, knocked on the door, and entered.
Dusty and Helen were waiting in the house, but Amisha did not come with them because of the dangerous situation of the battle.
Seeing Luke come in, Helen stared at him with nervous eyes.
Luke smiled and said, "I didn't find Candyman stalking, probably somewhere else." ”
Next, according to the plan, Helen will go to the bathroom to summon the candyman, Luke and Daxter are waiting outside the door, Luke leaves a crow to stand on the branch outside the window of the bathroom, and the rest of the crows are scattered in various rooms of Helen's house.
Although Luke has recently noticed some fears at the scene of the murder, these emotions are clearly pointing to the "Candy Man", which belongs to the owner, because the Candyman also has a certain power in terms of fear, he can't forcibly seize and absorb the fear that belongs to the Candy Man, and the [Fear of the Crow] skill has not made much progress.
Dusty has placed a circle called "Glow Bondage" in the small space of the bathroom, which, once activated, can control the candyman in place like the spell he used before.
The control effect is stronger, but comparatively, the control time is shorter.
In the living room, to be on the safe side, three "talisman arrays" were arranged as usual, each of which could withstand a Candyman's attack damage.
The most critical thing is outside the house.
In order to prevent the Candyman from being summoned to escape again, Daxter used a large number of precious materials to arrange a "Void Barrier" circle that could isolate the inner and outer spaces.
Once the circle is activated, the space within the circle can be limited and isolated from the outside within half an hour, preventing the behavior of space shuttle and preventing the recurrence of the situation that fell short last time.
The "Void Barrier" only isolates the connection between the inside and the outside, and has no effect on the space shuttle in the Fan House, even if the circle is opened, it will not affect Luke to use [Shapeshift] to swap places with the crows in the house, but he can't move with Halpie, who is flying high and outside the circle.
With everything ready, Luke took out the Death Roar and the Crow, held the staff in his hand, and slung the shotgun around his waist.
After all, there is still an ordinary person like Helen in the battle after a while, and the shotgun is easy to be injured by mistake.
Moreover, with less psionic energy infused, [Death Roar] is already slightly less damaging against powerful enemies.
Of course, with ten psionic points in advance, its damage is still very objective.
And [Pioneering Moment] is also really a good skill to clear the field.
Helen stood at the door of the bathroom, the look of fear on her face visible to the naked eye, and Luke was about to go up to comfort her and keep her composure, but was stopped by Daxter.
He whispered to Luke, "That's the emotion." ”
Helen hesitated for a long time, but finally made up her mind to enter the bathroom and close the door.
She stood in front of the mirror, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Candy Man Candy Man. Candy Man. Candyman. ”
As soon as the words fell.
Candyman, who was excitedly killing white people in a room and absorbing fear, was sensitized.
As he watched, a picture entered his mind.
It was a small room, and from a mirrored point of view, it looked like a washroom.
His intended bride, Helen, was standing in front of the mirror with a frightened face, staring at it as if waiting for his arrival.
Looking at the familiar face, the admonition of the partner not to allow the answer to the call was left behind him.
He looked in the mirror and saw that Helen was the only one in the room, and she didn't seem to be in any danger.
He subconsciously wanted to take a look through the mirrors in Helen's other houses, but at this time, the distance was far away, and being able to observe the room where Helen was the result of the combined action of the two skills of [Domain Perception] + [Mirror Crossing].
The mirrors in the other rooms of Helen's house, because no one summoned the candy man, the [Domain Perception] could not work, and the upgraded [Mirror Travel] could only perceive the mirror centered on itself within one kilometer, so it could not be observed.
A flash of thought didn't stop Candyman, who was the kind of person whose body moved faster than his brain.
In the mirror, the figure of the candy man has condensed, and he put his right hand behind his back, as if to avoid scaring his future lover, and walked out of the mirror.
In the small space, the candy man seemed to be attached to Helen, and the smell of fresh blood from his body went straight into Helen's nose, recalling the sticky and slippery feeling on her body not long ago.
Helen couldn't control her fear, and opened the door and fled.
Candy Man looked at this "runaway bride" with a confident face, just a mortal, where else could he run, it was just to add some fun.
Helen had just run out, and Luke and Daxter were on their hands.
Daxter immediately activates the "Void Barrier" that surrounds the room, ensuring that the Candyman cannot escape.
Luke ordered the crow to fly directly into the bathroom through the window, and when the crow was still in mid-air, he activated the [Shapeshift] to swap places.
The space in the house was slightly cramped, but Luke, who had planned for the battle in advance, did not restrain himself, he converted a large amount of psionic energy into thunder, and violent lightning tossed and jumped on the [mourning crow] in his hand, making a sharp birdsong sound.
Luke began to complain in his heart again, and with the name of the staff, the Thousand Bird Flow became the Thousand Crow Flow.
Under the effect of the staff's [Amplification], the thunder and lightning became more and more ferocious, and the color began to change from pure silver to blue and white, and a trace of dangerous indigo luster was mixed in the silver and white electric light.
Finding the right angle, the staff cut through a rounded arc, pulling a long silver-white trail and heading straight for the candyman's head.
This cane, two and a half months of hard work, can you stop it?
The answer is, unstoppable.
Candyman remembers Luke vividly.
Although he was **** in front of that collaborator, he was purely accustomed to the friendly attitude of the other party, because he found that the other party should ask for him, and he often pinched his nose to agree to some of his unreasonable requirements.
Just like in the previous life, some people are used to kneeling, and they are high scholarships and study companions, and they are used to everyone being like uncles. Do you see that before the "right" dominated social consciousness, did the police dare to lie on the ground honestly?
But Luke didn't get used to him, and almost killed him.
At the first sight of Luke, the candy man who bullied the soft and feared the hard was terrified, and he didn't even have the consciousness to resist, and his spirit hooked up to a mirror at the limit distance within a kilometer, ready to escape.
He regretted that he had not listened to the advice of his collaborators, and held a grudge against Helen, and was ready to find an opportunity to torture and kill her after this limelight.
As for the lover, just look for it again, wouldn't it be better to find a college student again?
The Candyman's mind quickly turned, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was still in place, and the [Mirror Crossing] ability seemed to be invalid.
At this point, Luke's [Funeral Crow] was already close at hand, and the Candyman who was bent on fleeing did not make any defensive defenses.
"Boom".
The staff's stiff head and Candyman's incompletely evolved brain came into close contact.
Intense silver-white thunder mixed with a trace of blue electricity burst out in an instant, illuminating the entire small bathroom, and the escaping thunder branches smashed the surrounding sinks, mirrors, and various debris.
The Candy Man's brain was obviously not as hard as the [Indestructible] staff, and he was headshot in an instant.
But he is not a human himself, and it is only because of his habits that he has taken on a human form.
Therefore, although he was seriously injured at this time, he was not directly eliminated.
In pain, his body suddenly spread out, turned into a dense swarm of bees, and rushed out of the window.
Luke hurriedly turned the thunder into flames, and under the effect of [Amplification], the flames also changed from orange to pure orange, looking restrained and dangerous.
It was too late, and it was too late, and Daxter was also ready, activating the "Glow Bondage" in the washing room, he had warned in advance, and the materials used were all hard, so the magic circle was not affected by the aftermath of Luke's thunder blow.
Suddenly, a white glow shot out from all corners of the bathroom, like a tangible and intangible prison, fixing the swarm in the air.
Good guy, I'll play Thousand Bird Flow, and you'll come to the Six Sticks Light Prison, right? Do you have the copyright! Do you have me to apologize soon!
Luke looked at the swarm of bees locked in front of him, and the psionic energy continued to infuse the staff in his hand, and the flames passed from pure orange to golden orange.
Before the staff could get closer, the wings of the outer swarm were already slightly yellow, as if they were about to be scorched.
With enough time, Luke was gathering momentum, and the [Mourning Crow] struck with a large surging flame.
Flutter gai boy! Eat me a big flame ring, Yandi mouth!
The golden orange firelight instantly covered the entire bee colony, and under the restraint of the glow, the candy man could not move, and in just a few moments, he completely disappeared into the world.
Skill seedlings swing gently, experience points, get.
In addition, there is a sense of familiarity.
The battlefield was still to be over, and Luke's mind simply skipped the ability space and got the information he wanted.
