10 The Faceless Man (7)

In fact, I have no confidence in my own vision of people. I don’t have a mature way of distinguishing who is a trustworthy person or a shameless liar.

More than 90% of the people in this world, even if they live to the age of seventy and eighty, still cannot see the hearts hidden under the belly of others. If a "professional" bluff appears, if they have to use routines to deceive them, it will be difficult for them to use the so-called "wisdom of the elderly" to understand the lies. As for me, a reborn person who "has been a human being for two lives", I am very sorry, and I am also an inconspicuous member of "more than 90% of the people in this world".

But this is not to say that I have no choice but to lie.

If you cannot attack lies, then defend against lies.

It is not that difficult to do this. You just need to keep your doubts in your heart as if you take the keys on your home every day when you go out.

At this moment, I was doubting Adam.

I never take a person lightly because he is a "normal person without power", because I am such a "normal person without power", but I have killed more than one psychic. In my opinion, compared to Hasegawa, who is both a psychic and a psychic medium, Adam, a seemingly weak "normal person", is the dangerous object that should be paid more attention to.

She seems warm, but it makes me feel unpredictable.

Her resume of provoking multiple gangs to fight each other, telling me that she is not a good person, and that the fact that those who have worked with her encountered misfortune soon also made me unable to ignore it; in contrast, Hasegawa is more like a young bird who has just entered the black area and does not even count the young birds. It can only be said to be "fertilized eggs". Not only does it lack criminal experience, but I also slutty. Although I will not take him lightly, if I want to sort it, he is still behind Adam.

Of course, the basis for my doubts about Adam is not limited to habitual suspicion, unreliable intuition, and rumors that do not know the truth or the falsehood. There is also a decisive basis, that is, Adam once said: If it weren't for Hasegawa, then she only thought that the sheepskin killer was an ordinary serial murderer.

But during the period when I bought "Sheepskin Killer's Information" from her, she had not yet known the connection between Sheepskin Killer and the mysterious organization, and the information she sold was too rich. Judging from my experience, unless she had already paid close attention to Sheepskin Killer, it would not be like this.

This is a strong conflict with her speech just now and has also become a key factor in my doubts about her.

I was like a spy in the Anti-Japanese War film in my hometown, hanging sneakily behind Adam and watching her walk into the female area of ​​the public toilet.

*

At this time, I was on a bustling street. This is the central street of District 2. Although the sun has set, people are still coming and going. I am hiding behind a vending machine next to the street, and the public toilet where Adam entered is about ten meters away from me, and people come in and out from time to time.

Ten minutes passed, and Adam still did not walk out of the public toilet.

Could it be that my follower has been noticed and she ran away through the window of the women's bathroom? Or is it that the previous milk tea unexpectedly caused her excretion problem, and now she is just releasing the inventory in her belly?

Just when I was nervous, I saw a woman walking out of the public toilet.

The appearance of this woman is completely different from Adam I just saw. Even so, I can immediately recognize that she is Adam.

It seems that she came to meet like me after disguise, and at this time she removed all her disguise and looked brand new.

She has dark brown medium-length hair that is naturally drooping, and she is more sweet-looking than her face. She is wearing a beige lantern-sleeved top, a gray knee-length skirt, white socks and black canvas shoes. Compared to the intelligence agent walking in the black area, she looks more like a female student going out. What is most difficult to ignore is that she has a pair of bear-like ears on her head, round, fluffy, and dark brown ears.

There is no doubt that she is a "someone".

The origin of the sub-humans directly points to the ancestors of human beings.

The ancestors who lived in ancient times generally worshiped nature and animals, and believed that animals were closer to nature than humans. Therefore, after a few people among the ancestors awakened their psychic energy, their psychic energy would follow this strong yearning and give the body the strength and appearance characteristics of animals.

This change is not limited to the ancestors, but will also be inherited to the next generation.

Although the part of power cannot be inherited, the part of the appearance characteristics can be lurked in the genes. In most cases, this part of the gene will not be expressed, but once it is expressed, it will show a different appearance characteristic than that of normal people. The reason why Adam now has a pair of bear ears is undoubtedly because her ancestors have given her bear power with spiritual energy.

And if her ancestors had the power of "fish", then she might have grown a fish face, although I have only seen such examples on the news.

Suddenly, Adam's bear's ears trembled quickly. She walked alone on the night road as if she was afraid of the darkness. Suddenly, she heard the strange movement behind her and suddenly looked back.

I immediately withdrew my gaze and hid my whole body in the back of the vending machine.

When I looked out again, she had turned around and walked forward for a distance.

Very good, it seems she didn't notice me.

I followed quietly.

If it were someone else, maybe I wouldn't have discovered that this woman was actually Adam, but I'm different.

I am both an experienced person in disguise and a well-trained martial artist. People like me have an extremely deep understanding of the human body and the way of movement.

During the conversation with her and Hasegawa, I observed it very carefully and firmly remembered the physical details of the two people, such as height, weight, length of arms and legs, posture of standing and walking, the length and sharpness of the nails, the frequency of blinking and breathing, and the left foot or right foot when going out... I remembered all the details that distinguish them from others in my mind.

These inconspicuous details seem to be difficult to come in handy, but they are not.

Last time I used the spray to faint a woman who was hypnotized by a sheepskin killer, I grabbed the frequency of her breathing. If I picked up the can and sprayed it, maybe the other party was exhaling and then I could react. Hold my breath and I wouldn't inhale the spray.

If you can remember whether someone takes his left foot or right foot when going out, you can come in handy when raiding the psychic behind the door. Specifically, you can predict the moment the other party passes through the door, calculate the advance measurement, and then suddenly use the ruthless psychic to be very fast. If you do not have the ability to predict actions and calculate the advance measurement, even the sheepskin killer can easily kill me.

For example, now, the reason why I can see that the woman in front is Adam is because of this ability.

While following Adam, I observed the surrounding terrain, and then suddenly accelerated. Without letting Adam notice me, I walked around her side, took out my cell phone, and took a few photos of her invisible eyes.

After finishing, I evacuated her neighborhood and contacted the drone.

He answered my phone number.

"Is there any commission this time?"

"I need you to investigate a person's identity," I said.

"Who do you want to kill?"

“I’m talking about ‘investigation’.”

"We should be old friends, right? You don't have to pretend here." He said with a smile, "You just retired for a whole year and finally got itchy. Do you want to kill someone to warm up your body? I'll make arrangements for you now. But brothers also have to settle the score clearly. You can't arrears." A keyboard sound came from him. "I thought you would choose a sheepskin killer. Sure enough, it's a bit too risky to kill prey suspected to be a psychic when you return?"

"The sheepskin killer is dead."

"Uh..." He suddenly got stuck and the keyboard sounded gone. After a while, he asked slowly, "Is he a psychic?"

"Yes."

"..." He made a sound of air leaking through the gaps in his teeth, as if he suddenly had some spicy food.

"Also, I think you have any misunderstandings about me." Considering that drones are intelligence providers I need to work with in the future, I think I should clarify the misunderstandings a little, rather than treating other black zone residents, blindly creating an image of "I'm very fierce". "In fact, I don't have that strong interest in killing."

"Oh...I understand, I understand..." He seemed to go in and out of his left ear, and then asked, "So, who do you want me to investigate?"

This misunderstanding seems not easy to clarify, so I had to give up first and turn to the topic, "I will send you the photos of the respondents later. The more detailed you can investigate, the more detailed you can."

"I'll ask more, is it Adam who you are looking for?" He changed to a serious tone.

"Yes." I didn't hide it here. Although admitting that this matter would greatly increase the amount of the commission, for him, investigating "ordinary black zone residents" and investigating "peers" are also different in terms of difficulty.

If I hide it and refuse to report it in order to greed for the sake of being greedy for the sake of gaining something, it will reduce his efficiency in doing things and also reduce his credit.

"Give me some time." He accepted my commission at least and hung up the phone.

That night, Xu Shengxing still did not go home.

The next day, in the morning.

After I got up, I cleaned the house, then sat on the bed, and fell into thinking.

Although I have decided to jointly investigate the mysterious organization with Adam and Hasegawa, if there is no breakthrough, there will be nowhere to make any efforts. The only clue, "Sheepskin Killer", has been killed by me, and the body has been thrown out of this universe by me, and the new clue will not fall from the sky by itself. What should I do next?

Think from the perspective of others, if I were Adam, or Hasegawa, where would I find a breakthrough?

Suddenly, I thought of a very bad possibility and contact Adam immediately.

After she connected, I immediately asked, "Where are you?"

Before she could answer, I heard the faint sound of vehicles traveling from the opposite side of my phone, so I changed my question, "You are on the way to find the body of the sheepskin killer, are you?"

"Yes," she said.

"I've clearly said that his body is no longer anywhere in this world?"

"Yes." She repeated.

"You should stop the action immediately."

"I can't understand your suggestions." She said in confusion. "The Sheepskin Killer is our only breakthrough now. Even if you tell the truth, his body is 'eated by the air', we should at least look for his relics, such as the items he often carried during his lifetime. As long as he has such an item in his hand, Hasegawa can use his psychic technology to divine things related to the Sheepskin Killer, and thus grasp the tail of the mysterious organization."

"But you may also go to a dead end because of this." I warned, "Listen, I only say that when I killed the sheepskin killer, I used some more ‘special’ means. As for the specific means, I am sorry, I cannot explain in detail. This involves my own secrets, and we have not established a trust relationship that can allow each other to share important secrets. Therefore, I can only say that if a 'spirited medium' like Hasegawa suddenly ran to the place where I killed the sheepskin killer for divination and psychics, or if I came into contact with the relics of the sheepskin killer, he would probably 'see' something that he should not see, which would lead to some bad consequences that would probably never be restored."

I don't think Adam would not be able to find the "scene" of killing the sheepskin killer, but it is precisely because she can easily find it that she has to give a strict warning.

Whether it is Adam, an intelligence maker or Hasegawa, a psychic, they are all "sweat-blooded BMWs" that collect intelligence. In comparison, I am just a fool. Although I never think they are trustworthy partners, I must admit that without them, I cannot track down the hinterland of the mysterious organization alone.

She asked cautiously: "What should I mean by what I should not see?"

"I can't describe it either."

"Is it an abstract thing that cannot be expressed in words?" She seemed to have some knowledge of psychics. At the same time, from her suddenly serious tone, I could hear that she had realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes."

"Can you give me a specific boundary?" she pondered for a moment and asked again, "What can we investigate and what can't be investigated, I hope you can provide a clear standard."

"I can't provide it," I said, "but you'd better return immediately, and don't get close to the connection."

"I understand. I will tell him truthfully." She said with a correct attitude.

Our call is over.

*

However, things went against my wishes.

When I saw Hasegawa again, he had been sent to the hospital and detained in a temporary isolation ward.
