Ai Liang slowly raised his hand.
The smiles of the thousand-faced man became even brighter.
Then he was slapped and flew several meters away.
What the Man with a Thousand Faces said is absolutely correct.
His words revealed Ai Liang's true face and revealed the fear deep in Ai Liang's heart.
After five years of killing, Ai Liang's personality gradually changed, and the kind-hearted young man in his previous life was slowly disappearing.
Ai Liang, who used to be moved to tears by a heartwarming story, began to become cold-blooded and numb.
Having just retired five years ago, even if he saw the victims of criminal organizations and various tragedies on the news, he would at most lament in his heart that things are impermanent, and soon forget about them.
I have seen too much and heard too much, and over time I have become numb.
If the change in personality only makes him uneasy, the shaking of the bottom line is the source of his fear.
Only the most evil people are killed.
This is Ai Liang's bottom line, and this bottom line is beginning to waver now.
When he deduced that Xu Zhihai was the real culprit in Gao Jiajia's murder, Ai Liang's first reaction was to kill him and slit his throat.
The key is that I didn't notice anything was wrong at the time.
If today he changes his hunting target from extremely evil people to ordinary murderers, then the next time he will expand it to people who have committed serious crimes, and the next time it will be all criminals.
As long as the bottom line is broken once, it will be broken a second or third time. When will Ai Liang's bottom line completely disappear and turn into a character who will directly kill the person who makes him unhappy? No one can tell.
He is a person with super powers, and his actions are absolutely secretive and unstoppable. No one can discover that he is the real murderer, and no one can stand up to punish him.
By that time, Ai Liang would truly become a demon walking in the world.
This future has always been the future that Ai Liang has been afraid of.
The silent change in his personality and his bottom line began to waver, all of which frightened Ai Liang. He gradually became a stranger he was very familiar with: a hermit.
When he debuted, he put on a mask called the Hermit. Now Ai Liang, who represents humanity, is disappearing little by little, and the mask representing the Hermit is gradually replacing him.
If a person wears a mask for a long time and looks the same when alone and another in front of others, he will eventually become confused about who he really is.
After all, Ai Liang is just a young man who awakened his superpowers.
In his previous life, his parents died young, and he worked and studied all by himself. In this life, he had no worries about food and clothing but never received any love from anyone. It is reasonable for him to have such a contradictory mentality.
If it were someone else, he would have been self-inflated and committed a crime a long time ago, and he would not be able to exercise self-restraint.
Although superpowers can bring unparalleled strength, they cannot make a person's mind strong and his will invincible.
Fortunately, Ai Liang cleared up all the negative emotions not long ago. Now he can feel the warmth and warmth of human relationships and start a new life like a normal person.
That's why his emotions were aroused by the Thousand Faces Man.
"What a rude way to refuse."
The Thousand-Faced Man rubbed his face and got up from the ground without being angry, as if he had just been scratched by his cat master.
"Speaking of which, where is the cold murderous intent in you? The last time I saw you five years ago, you were as cold as ice. Why now..."
This guy has been secretly monitoring himself and can detect changes in his emotions.
Ai Liang stared at him with fierce eyes, and his expression became increasingly evil.
We must not go back to the same path as we did ten years ago!
Ai Liang warned herself in her heart that this was the first step in a new life, and there must be no mistake.
If he wasn't worried that the bullshit organization behind the Thousand-Faced Man would continue to pester him, he would have beaten the Thousand-Faced Man to death long ago.
At this time, Gao Bin next to him suddenly screamed.
"Don't be so impatient and listen patiently to what I have to say." The Thousand-faced Man returned to Gao Bin step by step. It was obvious that he had done something to Gao Bin. "Since you don't appreciate the benefits of joining us, let's discuss it. Let’s talk about the disadvantages of your refusal.”
"Well... let's start with spreading rumors about you." Thousand-faced Man put his hand on his chin as if thinking, "I originally planned to disguise myself as a hermit, and then directly kill Yue Chongshan, an influential figure. , I took the opportunity to force you out, but during the execution process, I found a better target."
The Thousand-Faced Man put his hand on Gao Bin's heart.
"Threaten me with his life? Do you think I care about his life or death?"
Ai Liang stopped what he was doing and stood up again.
"No, you will care. After listening to what I have to say, you will definitely care." The Thousand-Faced Man said decisively with a strange smile.
"In the final analysis, Yue Chongshan is just an ordinary person. His influence is far less influential than Police Officer Gao, a member of the Asian Federation Countermeasures Bureau."
"You can think of this countermeasure bureau as the secret department in the movie. There is no difference anyway."
"You contacted the official anonymously just to hide your true identity, but now." The Thousand-Faced Man pinched Gao Bin's face and forced his head to turn towards Ai Liang.
"Now, whether you are an apostle or my invitation to join the Apostles, all have been witnessed by high police officers. As a throat-cutting maniac who has killed so many people, do you think they will accept you or imprison you?" In a dark laboratory?"
Ai Liang's face began to look ugly.
At this moment, Thousand Faces Man's purpose of keeping Gao Bin alive finally came to light.
"Don't worry, I won't kill the police officer. Instead, I will try my best to ensure that he lives. In this way, the information about you can be accurately conveyed to the Countermeasures Bureau. After all, they won't believe what I say."
The Thousand-Faced Man continued with a smile: "However, I can hand him over to you. As long as you kill him, I will help you disguise it as my hand, so that you can continue to hide yourself, Just think of it as you owe me a favor."
"How about it, do you choose to kill the police officer, or let him go? No matter what choice you make, I support it."
The Man with Thousand Faces forced Ai Liang to a dead end.
Gao Bin also understood at this moment that the reason why he survived was because the Thousand Faces Man wanted him to be a bargaining chip to persecute the Hermit.
He tried hard to open his mouth, but no words came out. As the Man with a Thousand Faces said, beings like apostles are rare in the world, and the Countermeasure Bureau will definitely list the hermit as a key target for hunting.
What's more, the Hermit is a throat-slitting maniac in the black area of Nevada City, and the Countermeasures Bureau has no reason to allow such a dangerous element to wander in society.
This is a conspiracy.
No matter which path the hermit chooses, there will be no good end. One is that the handle falls into the hands of the Thousand Faces Man, and the other is that he becomes a key target of the Countermeasures Bureau. There is not much difference in the outcome.
After thinking about this, Gao Bin could only close his eyes in despair.
"Time is running out. The Rangers will come to finish it off soon. By then, you won't even have the chance to choose... Uh-huh..."
The Thousand-Faced Man suddenly covered his neck and blood spurted out from between his fingers.
He turned around unsteadily, only to have the scalpel open another wound.
It was Gao Bin who was holding the scalpel. He was holding the gurney with his left hand and the scalpel that was still dripping with blood in his right hand.
"How could it be...you obviously..." Thousand-faced Man murmured in a low voice.
The blood gushes out of the arteries freely, and then he suddenly notices Gao Bin's face.
The face was dull-eyed and expressionless.
"So that's it... Hahaha... I always thought your ability was to be invisible, but your weird abilities are indeed all kinds of weird... Go to the first room on the second floor... .The filing cabinet... contains a small gift for..."
The Thousand-Faced Man seemed to have some unfinished words. With his throat cut, he could only leave key messages intermittently before completely losing all signs of life and dying.
However, Ai Liang knew that the Thousand-Faced Man himself was definitely not dead, and it was Xu Zhihai who died. From the conversation, we could know that Xu Zhihai was just one of his bodies.
“I don’t like forced choices, I will create my own satisfying choices.”
Ai Liang directly used mental manipulation to control Gao Bin's consciousness, and telekinesis assisted his actions.
Then a scene of an adrenaline burst to kill the Thousand-Faced Man was implanted in his brain, and all memories of his conversations with the Thousand-Faced Man were deleted.
This is Ai Liang's first initiative to control other people's minds and memories.
He didn't know if this would accelerate his fall like opening Pandora's box, but he had to do it now.
He has already been targeted by the apostle society. If there are more countermeasures that Gao Bin is in, his future life will probably become a mess.
The farce is over.
Lying in the warehouse were six people, the completely dead Xu Zhihai, the half-dead Gao Bin and the masked man, and Wang Dafu, who fainted as soon as Ai Liang entered the door.
Ai Liang looked around the warehouse. He was going to go to the second floor to see what the little gift Thousand Faces Man was talking about was.
If there is any information about the hermit inside, it would be terrible if they were all taken away by the Rangers.
