As the brains of the D-class personnel exploded, the Oath Keepers' slight bowing and saluting movements became hazy and ethereal, and the bullets that followed passed through his body, but did not leave any traces.
The ambulance personnel who had already arranged for it quickly entered and put the unlucky guy who had lost both hands on the stretcher. Then they quickly picked up the hands on the ground and dealt with them. If they moved quickly, they should still be able to catch them.
As the injured were sent away, the aftermath treatment team also began to collect traces of the scene. Mr. R, who was saluted by Feng Xueyuan, was leaning against the wall weakly. While trying to take a deep breath to calm down, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Called:
"Ms. Q, the operation failed."
"I've seen it. Your voice doesn't sound right. Is there something wrong?" There was no concern in Ms. Q's tone, as if it was just a routine matter. In this regard, Mr. R habitually He shook his head and said with a lingering fear:
"No, it should be an ability such as forced fear or a magical item. In addition, the guess that the person being punished will disappear after death is also correct. This should be his disappearance rule, but the other people in the control group were not attacked. Can I choose my own goals?"
"Perhaps, this requires more testing, but I'm afraid this will be a long-term project." Ms. Q's tone changed slightly, and after a pause of more than ten seconds, she continued:
"No, just ten seconds ago, another D-class personnel in the control group was also attacked. I have asked people to access the specific information of the two. This may provide more help in analyzing the rules."
Speaking of this, Ms. Q seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said:
"Where do you plan to start next?"
"Let's start with the source of the coins. Currently, there are three types of people who receive coins. One is those who accidentally hit the target on the way to the execution, or can provide help to the executioner; the other is the person who commissioned the task because they are poor. And those who have received funding from the executioner. In addition to these two, it is the daily expenses of the executioner. After all, these executioners are different from the Oath Keepers. They are not ghosts, but humans who have been given power by ghosts. They Have their own identity and life.”
Mr. R seemed to have finally recovered from the previous trembling, and his tone became more stable.
"This is indeed a good idea, but are you sure there is a way to distinguish these three types of people? Don't forget, there are also black market acquisitions and ownership changes caused by the acquirer's use..."
"I know." Mr. R was not surprised by Ms. Q's reminder, but he still said calmly:
"But we have no other entry point, and the executioners are different from those who accidentally get coins. The number of coins in their hands is very large, which means that as long as the areas where coins are rich are investigated, the scope can be narrowed down. The only The problem is how to get the bank guys to come up with the 'real' transaction accounts."
"This guy may need to go find Mr. Gawain in person, after all..."
Ms. Q did not continue, but Mr. R already understood what she meant and responded:
"I'll be there."
…
"Looks like you're in trouble this time?"
As Feng Xue returned to Jessica's mansion, Jessica, who seemed to have just returned from the newspaper office, shook her nose slightly, smelled the faint "smell of blood", and frowned.
"I was ambushed by the authorities, but there is no problem." Feng Xue waved his hand indifferently, and then looked at Jessica unexpectedly as if he suddenly realized something.
Brains and blood will not be transported with him as the rules of the world are lifted, and the self-cleaning effect of the phantom clothes will not be contaminated with excess smell, so Jessica can smell the so-called blood smell, and more is not Relying on the sense of smell, but on the perception of danger.
Seeing Feng Xue's gaze, Jessica didn't seem to understand why she looked at her like that until she heard Feng Xue's complimentary words——
"Looks like you haven't been slacking off lately."
"Of course, I can already stack four eggs, and I can become a real executioner soon!"
Speaking of this, Jessica hesitated slightly and said:
"But what do you think I should choose for my next protection?"
"You need to choose this kind of thing yourself." Feng Xue sat on the sofa and said very casually, but seeing Jessica's appearance of someone with a phobia of choice, she still reminded her:
"There is no order of precedence between protections. In other words, [Killing Skills] and [Breathing Concentration Techniques] that can be improved through training, you already have a basic introduction. If you insist on finding a reason to choose protection, then It’s what kind of executioner you want to be, or to put it more bluntly, what kind of mission you want to take on.”
"What should I say?" Jessica immediately took out a notepad and prepared to record Feng Xue's words. This was not only a memo, but also for the subsequent "Libra Story".
Although Libra itself is banned, its popularity continues to soar. Now many well-known newspapers have even begun to have special "Libra" sections. Although the name is definitely not called this, the content is basically marginal. The most egregious Tasok News even A special "Assassin Tracking" section was created to track and report cases related to the Libra Assassin, dig deep into the criminal past of the "executed person" in each case, and also help analyze whether it was the real owner or an ordinary person. copycat crime.
Readers now love to read this, and naturally no one will give up this opportunity to make money. As the Baihong Newspaper that publishes the main body of "Libra Covenant", if it does not follow up at this time, it will make people feel that there is something wrong in their hearts.
However, Jessica didn’t dare to be as bold as Tasok Newspaper, so she could only write about some second-generation fan fiction and do some interpretation of “Libra”.
Feng Xue was naturally happy to see Jessica's behavior of advertising for himself. He immediately gave up the idea of becoming the Riddler and said in a tone that was quite preachy and vocational:
"Although the purpose of Libra is morality, justice and balance, in the final analysis it is still an assassin organization, and there are only a few tasks that will fall into our hands.
“If you plan to take on a game involving the police, mafia, etc. who may have a large number of guns, or if the main battlefield is in a place like Colombia, then [Arrow Protection] is definitely the first choice.
“If you plan to be a detective-type killer and rely on your own investigation and evidence collection to track down fugitive criminals, the detection and counter-detection capabilities of [Heart of the Mirror] are crucial.
"Of course, our mission also involves those guys who were caught but received very light sentences. At this time, the [Breathe Concentration Technique] that can easily sneak into the prison becomes more suitable.
"As for [Killing Techniques], unless you are a martial arts fanatic and just focus on those fighting champions, special forces, etc., otherwise the [Hundred-Refined Body] taught to you when you get started is enough. It’s okay to learn at the end.”
Jessica carefully recorded Feng Xue's explanation and began to think about which direction she should choose to develop next. Feng Xue turned on the mobile phone Jessica gave him and looked at Backlund's map. Thinking about which supermarket to go to today.
Just when he was thinking about whether to add some spices to the dishes today, a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart. He shivered inexplicably, but then he was filled with a strong sense of excitement——
This feeling is that the ghost story entries are gathering together!
Regarding the rules of this world——
You can think of this as something like the triggering conditions of traditional rules. As long as the conditions are met, it can be triggered unlimited times without any CD. But most of the time, it is indeed rare to be able to trigger it once and not die, and dare to trigger it a second time.
Take the protagonist's ability to come to execution as an example. When a person needs to be executed appears, the protagonist can sense it. He can choose whether to come or not, but as long as he chooses to come, his own coming will not happen until the person dies. will end.
Of course, the protagonist can also give up killing people and just stay in the world and have fun until he has enough fun and kills him, or the person dies for other reasons.
However, it is also possible that because the protagonist did not kill him and he triggered the execution rules again, the protagonist can still choose to come or not, and then repeat the above operation, infinite matryoshka.
This is where acquired ghost stories are better than innate ghost stories. Innate ghost stories are set before they are conscious (some are even unconscious), so they completely abide by the settings, kill people when they are told, and will not give up even if they don’t know how to fish, while acquired ghost stories You can choose to assess the situation, take advantage of the situation, or even take advantage of loopholes to turn tasks into vacations.
However, this is not without cost. If you do not abide by the settings of Kaidan, the power you draw from Kaitan will be reduced.
To put it simply, it’s like you can choose to work and fish, but in contrast, you have to bear the price of a drop in income.
