For the sake of convenience, let’s call it “cruel”.
After all, he is the current holder of the essence of cruelty. If he cannot be called, it will be difficult to continue talking about related matters.
The ability is [Unknown].
The ability to make all knowledge about oneself "unclear" arises from the "unknown" past, and at the same time, it is also to completely conceal one's neurosis and fear. Even after capturing the fifth area and obtaining the source of evil, "Cruel" still lives in uneasiness and anxiety.
[Unknown] There is no distance problem. Everything related to oneself will be interrupted by various accidents, or ignored by people inadvertently, and no one can even notice the problem. However, even with such a thorough ability, he still cannot let "cruelty" completely cover himself. Whenever his ability reacts, he will start to feel uneasy, for fear that someone can bypass the scope of his ability and discover his existence.
"Cruel" has seen too many terrifying abilities, and even secretly visited several members of the Heavenly Kingdom Council, but he just ran away from a distance and did not dare to approach.
From the heart, "Cruel" does not think he is qualified to be on an equal footing with those people.
In District 10, in the black market, the curtain of Granny Ghost's tent was opened at dusk.
Seeing the person wrapped in black robes, Granny Ghost was stunned for a moment. There were very few people who could not see their own situation with her eyesight, and this was the person in front of her.
"The stall has been closed today..."
"I want a divination! I'm willing to pay any amount of money! Please give me a divination! Aren't you able to discern destiny?"
The visitor yelled loudly and slapped a handful of gold coins on the table with trembling hands, knocking over the card box containing the Major Arcana next to it.
Three cards fell from the table, which was not very large, and landed at the feet of the man in black robe, making a small sound. The ghost granny tremblingly picked up an oil lamp, lit it, and shone it at the feet of the man in black robe.
"It's dark and I can't see clearly. Can you tell me which cards fell on the ground?"
"The Hermit..."
"Forward position or reverse position?"
"I see it is backwards. What's the point? Tell me quickly!" The man in black robe yelled impatiently.
"In the past... I had low self-esteem, was worried, and was a little naive... What happened next?"
"The moon is in its right position."
"Uneasy card, you are not satisfied with the status quo, you have not used all your power, and you still have unknown potential within you..."
"Is there more? There is more? Haha, haha, sure enough, I don't always have to be like this, that's right, that's right. Yes, if those guys have been probing me, just get rid of them all. How simple a thing? I...I'm not afraid..."
The man in black robes let out a weird laugh and staggered out of the tent.
The ghost mother-in-law didn't say anything to stop her. She moved her body hard to clean up the messed up table, and also picked up the three tarot cards on the ground.
The Hermit reversed and the Moon upright represent the past and present respectively, but...
The card representing the future was picked up by Granny Ghost.
"The god of death in the right position...poor man..."
"Cruel" walked towards the exit of the black market, but was bumped into by several people running by on the road. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, the roads in this place should be tidied up, right? It's hard to see anything when it gets dark!"
The other party almost fell over, but when he turned his head, he didn't see any unevenness on the ground.
At this moment, the street lights suddenly turned on. The pale white light fell on the face of the person who bumped into "Cruel". He was a man of about thirty years old with ordinary appearance.
But Cruel knows this face.
"Cruel" has seen most of the members of the Heavenly Council and knows what they look like. Many of Dr.D's identities are no secrets in his eyes.
Detection.
"what happened……"
After all, he was the manager of District 10. Even if he was only part of it, the other party immediately noticed something was wrong.
"damn it--"
"Cruel" reacted instantly, pulled out a dagger from under his robe and pounced forward.
[Unknown] completely covered all of his movements and even his recognition in people's eyes. Detection was unable to defend against attacks at all. He even didn't understand why he had a long and deep wound from his throat to his abdomen before he turned on his ability. .
"Why am I always so unlucky... Even if I just come out to tell fortunes, there is a risk of being exposed... Am I not capable enough? What am I thinking? This guy is Dr. D! They will definitely find a way Find out my identity, and then take everything from me." Cruel held his head, staring at the corpse on the ground and was at a loss when he suddenly saw the notebook dropped from the other party's pocket.
"Something that needs to be transported by the main body?"
This sparked an interest in "cruel".
The record in the notebook is "rebel".
Although the Kingdom Council has a preeminent position in the city and can tolerate many evil deeds, there are still some bottom lines. This bottom line varies from person to person, and "Cruel" is very curious about what the doctor's bottom line is.
[Jumonmon Yana, disappeared after escaping from District 4. She appeared several times with the goal of completing tasks on HELLSPEED. The recent operation is collecting evil scriptures, the risk assessment level has increased, and Death will be ordered to eliminate it if necessary. 】
[Jiang Shanhao, abnormal investigation operation. The purpose of the operation is unknown, but there is a tendency to point towards the upper echelons of the Heavenly Kingdom Council, and it is suspected to be hostile. His sister Jiang Shanluo is the same, but she has changed her focus recently. Order Deny to clean up if necessary. 】
[Zhou Li, detective, seems to have discovered the hidden clues left by District 5 and District 1, which should not be exposed. Destiny has been ordered to clear out. 】
[Lu Ning, suspected to be dead. Previously, clues to the tenth district clinic had been uncovered to track down the incident involving the doctor, and Envy was dispatched to investigate, and if they were found alive, they would be eliminated. Note: The heart, kidneys and cornea are critical organ sources, try not to damage them. 】
"What? Aren't you an old guy afraid of being found? Are you as weak as me?" "Cruel" gently scratched his chin, "The hidden line between the fifth and first districts? What do you mean?" Have you infiltrated my territory? What are you plotting? And these people... Why are there so many people in the city who like to investigate..."
"Hey! Is there someone dead over there?"
After all, it was not late at night yet, there were always pedestrians passing by, and the body on the ground was soon discovered.
"Go back and think about it carefully, what are these guys doing? Am I too worried about my current situation and ignore the conspiracy among the other members? None of these guys are good..."
"Cruel" stood up with his notebook and asked the few people who were passing by to leave in the opposite direction.
==========================
Lu Ning and Wei Yin had already arrived at Lisu Fo's old residence, and Sa Xiu's rest time ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, so he could only go back and continue working.
During the day, the second floor of the house was locked, and there were so many people coming and going that it was not suitable for sneaking in. The two sat in Wei Yin's room chatting, and Wei Yin also showed Lu Ning the information she had researched. summary report. Generally speaking, all aspects of her investigation were clear, and her conjectures were relatively close to the facts, but they lacked strong evidence.
During this period, Lu Ning received a message from Ye Nai.
[Gu Tong has entered the city hall. The security there is too tight. I want to find a secret route without contacting you yet. I'll contact you when I get out. 】
【be safe. 】
After that, there was no news.
After nightfall, Wei Yin opened the door and peeked outside. After confirming that there was no movement in other rooms, she picked up a backpack that had been prepared long ago and called Lu Ning. The two of them tiptoed to the steps of the second floor.
Going up the stairs, the top is blocked by a strong iron door with four locks. It looks like it doesn't want anyone to enter.
"The more this happens, the more curious it becomes."
Wei Yin smiled slyly, took out a set of lockpicking tools from her bag and started to fiddle with the keyholes one by one, while Lu Ning stood watching.
The four locks took a long time. Lu Ning didn't want to disturb Wei Yin's concentrated work, so she began to wonder if there were any omissions that needed to be investigated in the near future.
Something is definitely wrong.
"Area One, Rabbi Lins, atheist. The relevant clues are the Ability Research Project and the White Butterfly Killer. Zhou Li also asked for a list of staff in a building there, and was avoided by Sabbath activities. Area Two, Library, dull. Relevant clues are the Risufo badge stored in the university library and the tree diagram of the reverse Kabbalah. District three... Mora Garno, rejection, orphanage, there are very few clues. District four, Unmoved, fantasy, the clue is the Colosseum, suspected of Dr.D's intervention? District 5, cruel, the majestic information about Risufo in the museum, and that is the area that Rie Kazama once managed. District 6—— Wait?"
Lu Ning noticed something wrong, but didn't realize it yet.
At this moment, the door made a clicking sound. Wei Yin pushed in hard, and the iron door opened quietly.
"Lu Ning! I succeeded, let's go in?"
"Ah good."
The matter in front of her was more important. Lu Ning responded and followed Wei Yin into the door.
There wasn't much of a dusty smell on the second floor, and it was obviously cleaned from time to time. The layout of this floor is very different from that of the first floor. Most of the rooms have a strange hexagonal design, and the floor and ceiling are also slightly angled downwards and upwards respectively, not flat.
"Why is this happening here?"
"I don't know, but I guess it's blasphemous."
Wei Yin said, looking up at the ceiling.
"In any case, since this room here has maintained its original appearance, we must not forget that this is the room given to Risufo by the Royal Society of Medicine."
Lu Ning somewhat understood what Wei Yin meant.
Although it is a private room, due to the architectural style of the time and the purpose of the house, there should have been some murals on the walls and ceiling.
"Although Rissovo grew up in a theological environment, judging from his ability to develop plague treatments, his scientific attainments are also quite high. I had previously consulted Professor Remington about related matters, and he told me that at that time Scientists in this era generally had knowledge in several disciplines, rather than the current state of distinct disciplines.”
Wei Yin opened the hourglass-shaped bookshelf door.
"Do you think this room looks like an eyesore?"
Lu Ning nodded.
Not only is the shape of the room weird, but the furniture and objects inside are also designed with unique shapes. It cannot be said that it is not aesthetically pleasing, but it looks quite awkward.
"The more we study science, the easier it is to marvel at the wonderful rhythms of creation, but this room destroys all natural beauty."
Wei Yin took out a book on the bookshelf. It was a square book with no logo on the cover or back cover. It seemed that it was just a cover made of kraft paper.
"Indeed... the angle is very strange, it always makes people feel uncomfortable..."
"The golden section." Wei Yin said, "What Risufo intends to destroy is not the belief in the traditional sense, but everything he believed in in the past."
"But he also relied on everything he learned."
"It is this kind of distortion that caused his psychological problems. Wait, look what I found? This book is Risufo's secret record, about his followers..."
Confessions.
All the records recorded on it are crimes. Although it is very old, the records of each crime are still as bright red as soaked in blood. I don’t know what kind of ink Risufo used. The initial notes were smooth, but as more and more notes were accumulated, the subsequent handwriting gradually became distorted and restless, seeming to reflect the author's mood.
till the end--
[If God really exists, then why does he allow "sin" to spread in the world? I can no longer listen to these sinners as a bystander. I feel for the victims, so have I lost my qualifications as a pastor?
I turned to the Archbishop for an answer. He told me that God exists, but only devout people can hear His voice.
-I never listened.
I have always been advising the believers who come to me with what I consider to be "good". I thought I was following God's will in spreading this, but I was wrong.
God, if he existed, never loved me.
All the actions I take are based on my own wishes and have nothing to do with the so-called gods.
I am God. 】
Click.
The breeze blew in through the window, rolling the curtains, letting the moist rain breath from outside rush into the room.
That window should be closed.
Lu Ning raised his pistol and pointed it at the window. At this moment, a figure wearing a dark blue raincoat was leaning there. An unusually bright light came from somewhere outside, making it impossible for Lu Ning to see the other person clearly. Positive face.
"I was a little uneasy, so I took a look at the situation here."
The man muttered to himself, jumped down from the window sill, and when passing by the desk, his fingers lightly brushed the surface of the desk.
"Are there two rats that broke into this place? There is nothing useful left here, but even if it is an empty refrigerator, people don't like rats getting in."
Because she was turning around, Lu Ning could finally see part of his face clearly.
The eye on the right is a whole piece of dark blue gemstone.
