SHIELD is indeed very efficient. After arriving in Chicago, it only took them three hours to find Maria, who had been missing for a week, from such a large city with a permanent population of 2.7 million. In the basement of a heavy metal nightclub.
But they weren't quick enough, because by the time they found her, Maria had just lost her own life. And the way he died was... Kai didn't know how to describe it. creative? That seems disrespectful and cruel to the deceased? Indeed, it is not comprehensive enough.
The murderer wants to humiliate Maria! Let her die in the most painful and humiliating way!
She died of internal hemorrhage. The murderer kidnapped a man specifically for this purpose, and then put a leather sheath with a sharp blade on his brother. Then he left the poor man on the bed and killed him using the most primitive human reproduction gesture. she.
When Kai and the others found the crime scene, the man was close to collapse. His lower body was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his body was shaking constantly. A conservative estimate is that this guy will never be able to have a formal relationship between men and women in his next life.
But that's not the point, the point is Maria.
Her death was extremely painful, and her face was extremely hideous and terrifying when she died. Her hands and feet were tied to a simple spring bed, and she died in a very unbearable posture. When Kai saw Maria's body, he suddenly felt weak. He walked to Maria, slowly knelt on one knee beside the bed, and gently closed Maria's eyes.
He was still one step late.
What made him even more helpless was that he didn't know how to explain the current situation to Susie!
Seeing that Kai was depressed, Phil came over and gently patted Kai's shoulder to express comfort.
Kai was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I'm going to kill that bastard!"
"Calm down, Kai. We will catch him. Just leave everything to us, and we will catch him!" Phil obviously felt that Kai was in a very bad mood, so he said quickly. He even emphasized twice that SHIELD would catch him.
"No, I will kill him! I will!" At this time, Kai's mood returned to calm. He was not familiar with Phil, and he didn't like to show his emotions in front of outsiders.
Phil also planned to persuade Kai again to give up this extreme idea. Killing...especially killing in a society governed by the rule of law is a very troublesome thing. Of course, this is not the key. SHIELD is not a charity. Murder is too common. Let's put it this way, SHIELD has basically done all the crimes written in the US criminal law, and it has done quite a lot. Although SHIELD claims to be just an intelligence organization, the CIA is actually an intelligence organization!
Has the CIA done less evil? What about SHIELD, which is more awesome than the CIA? It can only be dirtier than the CIA!
After all, the CIA is still supervised by the US government. Who supervises S.H.I.E.L.D. The answer is that no one regulates it. Even though their superior is the World Security Council, in fact... even the Council itself knows that it has no control over SHIELD.
Just like now, when Phil heard the news about the murderer, he came immediately. Is he really out to act chivalrously and uphold justice?
of course not! SHIELD is an organization that handles abnormal events and is not responsible for social security! Their real purpose is to catch the murderer and study him! Recruit him!
That’s right, recruitment!
In a sense, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position is similar to Kama Taj's. They don't care about individual tragedies, they care about the overall situation! Of course, the sentiments of the two are completely different. Karma Taj is a perfect template for a justice organization, while SHIELD exists in the world. They do maintain peace, but their methods are much more disgusting. In a sense, there's nothing wrong with calling them villains.
This is not a purely derogatory connotation. Large institutions like the FBI and CIA are also like this. But no one denies that they are necessary to stabilize the entire United States.
Closer to home, in short, SHIELD has its own demands. They were reluctant to lose such a rare mutant. This is determined by the positioning of their organization.
So Phil planned to persuade Kai that if possible, he didn't want to have a conflict with such an upright policeman, because it would make him feel like a bad guy.
But before Phil could speak, a phone call interrupted their communication.
Just now the safe house was attacked.
But there were not many casualties. All the police and security guards were just stunned. But the problem is, four women are missing.
Trish, Pepper, Alexandra and Susie!
…
Kai looked at the irritable Mills and felt uneasy in his heart.
This attack was carried out by the Seven Deadly Sins murderer. The key is that he left a note at the scene. He clearly told Mills that he wanted to end it all!
However, this is completely different from the murderer's previous behavior pattern. According to the previous methods he used to kill the victims, they were all carefully planned. Based on what the victims did, he prepared the victims that best suited their crimes, and then designed the punishment that best suited them according to the crimes!
He regards this series of cases as his masterpiece! Since it is a masterpiece, of course it cannot be so simple and crude! He did not plan carefully, but rushed into the police siege and captured the target.
This is not his style. If he goes according to his original idea, he should be tricking the police around. He wants to defeat the police. Defeat the police thoroughly, let the police follow the clues he left, and then find the bodies everywhere!
This is his masterpiece!
In fact, after figuring out how the murderer chose his targets, Kai discovered that what the murderer hated most was not the targets related to that case, but the entire police and judicial system! Even society as a whole!
From his provocation at the beginning, setting up puzzles, to always being one step ahead of the police, it was all for this purpose!
He wants to tell everyone about the incompetence of the police!
At the same time, he sets a crime for each victim, which also has a more profound purpose. He is preaching and giving admonitions to everyone! He is educating the whole society!
But what he was doing was obviously not what he wanted.
Doing so will only make people think that he is a thug, and thugs cannot become saints, let alone educate and discipline others.
Something must have changed the murderer and made him unable to wait any longer!
Thinking of this, Kai immediately returned to the four women's room and rummaged around. He even made a mess. The other police officers saw how messy he had made the scene and tried to stop him. After all, this was a crime scene.
It's a pity that none of them have the courage.
Kai went from room to room, and the police began to understand what Kai was looking for.
cell phone!
Four women’s cell phones!
They are all witnesses. Although the police have regulations that all communication equipment needs to be confiscated after entering the safe house, the problem is that these four women are not ordinary people, especially Pepper and Alexandra. They are all celebrities. , there were so many calls to be made and answered, that it was impossible for the police to confiscate their mobile phones. So no one’s cell phone was confiscated.
In the end, Kay only found the cell phone in Tracy's room, and none of the other three women's cell phones were found.
"If they are carrying mobile phones, can you use your expensive system to find their location?" Kay asked Phil.
Phil was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his technician.
The technicians were very excited!
"Of course! As long as their mobile phones are not turned off! I can locate them through the signal!"
"No need to call?"
"Of course not! What do you think the Skynet system is? It's a masterpiece!" The technician was very unhappy with Kai raising such a stupid question.
"Okay, your masterpiece can start working!" Kai nodded. The previous Skynet system really impressed Kai. Well, except that it’s expensive and the quality is worrisome.
Now it was the SHIELD technician's turn to be speechless.
"Uh... there's a small problem... we don't have the main unit anymore."
"Then think of a solution immediately, I don't have 100 million to give you!"
Phil's face turned dark immediately. This broken system was so screwed up that it was completely useless after running for more than ten seconds. Even SHIELD couldn't withstand such a torment.
"Hmm... I remember there was a supercomputer at the University of Illinois. We could borrow it."
Phil hesitated. He didn't know much about super calculators, but he knew that this thing must be very expensive! If things go wrong, then SHIELD will not only have to bear their own share of the losses, but they will also have to compensate the University of Illinois...
Perhaps sensing his superior's concerns, the technician immediately proposed a feasible plan.
"We can make some adjustments, such as turning off most functions and leaving only the ability to track information. That should not cause structural damage to the Chicago supercomputer."
"Then do it! How long will it take?" Phil immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the abridged version was available.
"Two hours! We are professionals!"
"Okay, we'll leave in two hours!" Kai nodded, turned around and walked out.
Phil was stunned for a moment and immediately chased after him: "Where are you going?"
"Eat!" Kai hadn't eaten for a whole day because of this case.
"Wait for me, I'll come too!"
…
About an hour later, Kai finally took a break from Phil's chatter to go to the toilet. But Phil felt a little strange. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Kai had gone to the toilet, and his whole body felt a lot more relaxed.
Maybe he's constipated?
While Phil was thinking about all this, he continued to preach to Kai.
This guy kept telling Kai how important SHIELD was, how much he had done for world peace, and how much he had sacrificed for it. In short, he wanted to brainwash Kai and let him join the SHIELD family. .
But Kai has always been like that from the beginning, with a look that goes in one ear and out the other.
But Phil never tired of it. He was not fooling Kai, but really felt that his work had extraordinary significance. He hopes that more capable people will join SHIELD so that SHIELD can better contribute to the world.
There are really not many employees who are so dedicated to their jobs.
But Phil didn't know that Kai's relief was not because he had released his old constipation, but because he finally found the opportunity to use his clone!
Kai asked Phil to use the Skynet system before, which was completely a cover-up. It occurred to him then that he really couldn't track the murderer. In other words, the hounds couldn't track the murderer, but now that the four women have been caught, he can definitely track them!
But he didn't expect Phil to be so difficult to deal with. It seemed that this guy was suspicious of Kai, or in other words, he was preventing Kai from really killing the mutant murderer!
It's a pity that Phil's actions were in vain.
…
Chicago is so colorful at night, even more exciting than during the day. Countless lights make the city look colorful, and countless fashionably dressed men and women enjoy the bustle and bustle here.
Chicago is known as the most American city, integrating the cultural and culinary landscapes of the Midwest with the world's legacy. The famous American writer Norman Mailer once wrote: "Chicago is a great city. It may be the only remaining great city in the United States."
But no matter how gorgeous and prosperous the city is, there are still places where lights can’t shine. For example, the Calumet Industrial Area in the south of the city was once the pride of Chicago. Most of Chicago's heavy industry was located in this area. Chicago's industry and manufacturing are very developed and are the pillar industries of its economy, accounting for approximately 60% of the city's total output value.
But later, with the development of the city, many large enterprises began to move out of here and went to the satellite city of Gary due to reasons such as environmental protection and labor. Although the Calumet Industrial Zone is still able to create a lot of wealth today, what remains are those large enterprises. After industrial upgrading, these enterprises no longer need to hire so many workers, so regardless of the fact that the entire industrial zone can still create a lot of wealth , but in fact the entire industrial area looks quite depressed.
A large number of factories and buildings were abandoned, making it a gathering place for drug addicts and homeless people. The security at night is very poor.
Among these abandoned buildings, on the top of a dark building, Joe was struggling to move a set of homemade equipment. If there are any movie lovers here, you will immediately notice that this thing will look very familiar - the Jaw Splitter.
This is a metal device placed on the person's head. The metal piece is stuffed between the upper and lower jaws. If it is not released within the specified time, the spring energy storage mechanism will collapse, tearing the person's upper and lower jaws apart, and tearing the entire head apart. Broken in two, one blow kills him, and there is no way to survive.
The device looks more complex and heavier than the one in the movie. But even so, with this size, even if it is made of all steel, a normal man should not be so strenuous.
Finally with a loud gasp, Joe finally placed the jaw splitter on Alexandra's head.
"Uh-huh..." As soon as the device was installed on Alexandra's head, before he could insert the two metal pieces into her mouth, Joe suddenly hugged his head, and the muscles on his face became extremely ferocious, There was blood flowing from between the mouth and nose.
He looked in great pain, until he tremblingly took out a jar of medicine from his coat pocket and poured it into his mouth for free, finally managing to stop the severe pain.
Alexandra and Pepper both looked at the man in front of them in fear.
The man in front of me does not look scary. On the contrary, it can be said that he is gentle and gentle. He is not handsome, but he is not ugly either. To be honest, his appearance is slightly feminine. If they saw him normally, they might think he was a librarian or a designer.
But they knew that the person in front of them was the serial killer!
They were captured by his own hands.
Seeing several women paying attention to him, Qiao raised his head and carefully wiped away the blood stains on his face and around his nose with a handkerchief.
"I'm sorry for scaring you." Then she looked at Alessandra and said seriously: "Especially you, Ms. Ambrosio, I didn't want to use this method, but... my time Not much left. So I can only wrong you."
