"Hassegawa" and "Natoto Inoue" are the same person (for convenience, we will be unified from here and then call them "Natoto Inoue"), but according to the information provided by Adam, Naoto Inoue is an ordinary person.

Following the normal way of thinking, it was nothing more than Naoto Inoue concealing his psychic energy. Just like Xu Shengxing in his youth, he was afraid that the people around him would alienate him, and expected someone to discover his powerful side.

Xu Shengxing was surprised first, then suddenly realized, and finally questioned, "I really don't know about this, but the question is, how do you know about it?"

“井上直人与我们有过合作”

Starting with this sentence, I made a long story to him about Naoto Inoue’s claim to be a Hasegawa period.

After hearing this, he frowned again. This is the number of times he frowned today, as if he was trying to squeeze out a few more wrinkles for himself. "But there are many things that are unreasonable. Assuming that Naoto Inoue is really the helper of the mysterious organization and uses psychic technology to extract taboo knowledge from his mother's mind, why is he going to oppose the mysterious organization now?"

As he said that, he shook his head, "Let's put this issue aside for now. First, the root of confidence in the mysterious organization's development of the psychic awakening medicine may not be taboo knowledge; secondly, even if it is really taboo knowledge, it may not be taken out of his mother's mind with the help of Naoto Inoue; finally."

What was the last one? He deliberately didn't say it, but both Adam and I understood that it was that he did not fully accept our information.

The part he could really believe 100% was that there was indeed a mysterious organization suspected to be Beaver Pharmaceutical and that did kidnap some local residents, that's all.

"That's all about the information exchange process. Let's talk about the specific plans next." Adam said politely, "Official Xu, do you have any tricks?"

Hearing this, Xu Shengxing kept holding his back, holding his shelf, and said calmly, "Yes."

“是什么?”我问.

He turned his head to look at me, and after a second, he seemed a little disappointed, saying, "It's very simple, just find Inoue Hito himself and take him down first." There was no warmth for his old friends in his tone, straight to the point, efficiencyism, and the coldness of the adult world.

但遗憾的是,这个方法,我早已想过.

If the simple and rough route of the boss of Beaver Pharmaceutical can be easily understood, I would not have sneaked into Beaver Pharmaceutical with Adam. The problem is that Inoue Hito has become a mystery. He has not been in the company for a while, and no one knows where he is fooling around. The tactic of capturing the thief first has nowhere to do anything.

However, after hearing what I said, Xu Shengxing smiled confidently, "Don't underestimate the search power of the police. Local 'big figures' like Inoue Renta will have traces of action, and we will find it much easier than you think."

I asked back, "I understand this, but if you use the local police's search network directly, how can we secretly torture him afterwards?"

"This is your chance to play." Xu Shengxing seemed to have a more detailed idea. "I will apply to the bureau to detain him first. After finding him, I will force him to the bureau. And while escorting him, you will take the opportunity to rush out and rob him. This will be done. Then he will let us take care of it. But I must be my friend. He is my friend at least, and there is an innocent possibility. You must not let you do whatever you want."

"Okay," I said, "but in what name do you want to apply for detention? No matter what he has done in private, at least he is an entrepreneur who is law-abiding on the surface, and there is no flaw that you can grasp."

"It's not simple? First, fabricate a few perjury, then frame him for prostituting a young girl, and then tell him in person: If you don't want to end up with a fishy end, go back and cooperate with us in the investigation." He said naturally, "If it is proved that he is innocent afterwards, then we will catch the wrong person, and then go to the black area to catch a scumbag, saying that the perjury was fabricated by him, and finally sentenced to a few decades and stuffed into prison."

"Are you considered a people's policeman like this?" Adam asked in shock, for a moment he forgot his honorific words.

"Hmph... I sometimes need to play some unreasonable cards with the scumbag criminals in Beaver City." He sneered, "You two have to be careful, we are working together now, but when the cooperation is over, don't blame me for 'doing things according to the rules'."

I couldn't help but say, "If your son knew you were a policeman who 'dos ​​according to the rules', I really don't know what would happen."

“他不会知道的.”

他已经知道了.

Outside the breakfast shop, Adam and I watched Xu Shengxing go away.

Adam's shoulders relaxed slightly, as if the bad student was called to the office by the head teacher to give a speech, and finally came out. It seemed that Xu Shengxing had brought a lot of pressure to her in terms of identity and strength. She watched Xu Shengxing's figure disappear at the corner, and showed a look of emotion, "This is the first time I have come into contact with a special psychic so close. If he had taken action suddenly just now, we both probably would have fallen here."

“不,只有你.”我订正道.

"It's okay not to pick on tricks here!" Adam was amused and cried, and then said, "I really don't understand why he once concealed his power. Of course, I understand the truth. But if it were me, I would definitely show it."

“你也想要成为灵能者?”我问.

"Who doesn't think about it? Everyone is alienating the psychics while yearning for the psychics." Adam showed a rare melancholy tone. She looked at the corner in a daze, as if she was watching a dream that was evaporated on the asphalt road in summer. "I have been yearning for the psychics since elementary school, but as I grew older, I gradually realized that I don't have that kind of talent and I am destined to be an ordinary person. However, I am still unwilling to give up. Because... you see, there are obviously so many wonderful things in this world, but some people can naturally live in a wonderful world. I also understand that there are very few such people, but sometimes, I still can't help thinking."

She suddenly stopped here. I asked with concern: "What do you think?"

She glanced at me, and after a while, she said in an inexplicable tone: "I thought: Why can't it be me?"

This sentence made me silent. Because this is also the idea I have had. Sometimes I think that I was finally born in a world with supernatural powers, and people in this world all have the potential of awakening power, even if it is extremely sporadic. But why is there no hope in me alone?

Even if you understand the truth, you will still be unwilling to give up and will still yearn for it.

"I'm sorry, I've said too much." She suddenly rubbed her face, as if she wanted to dissipate all the mixed emotions. "It's better to concentrate on the serious matters first. I don't know when Officer Xu will investigate Inoue Inta's location."

"We must also be careful that Xu Shengxing suddenly rebels. Although the possibility is not high, if he is trying to fight all the way together with us and the mysterious organization, then we will have to work together to fight back then."

Adam nodded silently, then smiled and said, "Is it my hallucination? When we first met, you were quite suspicious of me, but now you seem to have a lot of trust in me?"

"If it was 'Adam' who was a black zone intelligence agent, I naturally couldn't trust it." As I said, I took out my work phone, quickly called out the Chloe intelligence in the email, and took a look at her full name.

嗯,克洛伊.迪卡普里奥……

Then I put away my phone as if nothing had happened, as if I had just sent a text message. I just looked at it casually and continued, "But if it was 'Chloe DiCaprio', a reporter from the flashlight, it would be okay to believe it."

"What……"

Adam, or Chloe DiCaprio, was immediately shocked.

Then she pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a reluctant smile, "So you know it all?"

“早知道了.”我说.

Chloe took a deep breath, as if he quickly soothed the tide in his heart, and then smiled and said, "Since I have exposed it, to be fair, you should also tell your true identity, right?"

"It shouldn't."

"Why?"

"I found out your true identity based on my own ability. If you want to know mine, then you have to rely on your own ability."

Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, "Okay, I accept this challenge." She cheered up, took out a full-minded attitude, pointed at me, as if she had become a detective character in a comic, "Wait, faceless man, I will expose your true face sooner or later!"

“拭目以待.”我说.

*

After parting with Chloe, I took off my face, changed my clothes, bought a bowl of salted tofu outside, and pretended to be "I went downstairs to buy breakfast just now", and returned home.

But this disguise fell into the empty space because Xu Shengxing was not at home at all. He probably was actively investigating Inoue Inae's whereabouts. I put down the plastic bag, took out my work phone, and added Xu Shengxing to the blacklist of calls. In this way, even if he calls the "faceless man" at home in the future, he would not have the embarrassing situation of suddenly hearing his son's cell phone ringing inexplicably.

If there is any urgent matter, you can contact Chloe first and then send me a text message. I have already agreed with her in advance.

Not to mention this, after returning home, I took some photos from various angles for the two loot I received last time, namely "Silver Needle" and "Dark Wooden Face Statue".

Then I sent it to the drone and asked him to identify it for me.

Drones have the ability to identify psychic objects. I first met him back then because I heard others say he is good at it.

An hour later, he called and told me the result.

First of all, the "dark wooden face statue" as I expected, this is an object that can create illusions, but because it is useless, it is now scrapped.

The second is the "silver needle". According to him, this is a needle-shaped hidden weapon that can seal spiritual energy, and is called the "demon sealing needle". The specific usage is very simple, just pierce it directly into the skin of the psychic. But the effect is not very strong. Not to mention using it to deal with the special psychics, it is difficult to deal with the first-level psychics, and it is also useful for the second- and third-level psychics.

But if I deal with a psychic at this level, I will not be able to use this hidden weapon.

"It is worth mentioning that if you use this demon seal to target ordinary people, it will destroy their spiritual talent." The drone emphasized, "A person who has passed certain procedures and may become a psychic person will become unable to awaken his psychic power in a blink of an eye."

Hearing this, I suddenly had the idea of ​​throwing away this needle. Although I didn’t have the talent for spiritual energy, I still never want to be hurt by such things.

Finally, I remembered the loot that Chloe obtained, the small stone carved with strange runes.

After hearing my description of the stone, the drone thought about it very seriously and said, "That might be the 'living dead' sign, which can temporarily turn the user into a dead person. As long as the brain tissue is not damaged, no physical damage can kill the user."

I noticed the keyword, "But you say 'for the time being', that is, the effect will still disappear."

"Yes, usually no more than ten minutes... After the effect is over, the wound will not recover and will eventually die." He said, "And this talisman has a huge defect, that is, it will take a certain amount of time from activation to effect, about one to three minutes. It is very likely that you have started, but before you can wait for the effect, you have been beaten to death."

After he said this, whether it was my trophy or Chloe's, it seemed that it was all tasteless.

But I didn't expect that I could be lucky enough to get any useful psychic items. It's better to have them than not. Even if I can't use them, I can still sell them for money. Moreover, no matter how useless it is, it is a psychic item. What if it can be used?

For example, if Inoue Hito really developed the psychic awakening medicine and tried to turn himself into a psychic, then I would stab him with this demon-sealing needle. If this is true, I don’t know what expression he would show. When I think of this, I felt a little dark and anticipated. It’s really a sin.

时间就这样过去了两天.

This morning, Xu Shengxing finally investigated the location of Inoue Inae, who is now in the pharmaceutical factory of other pharmaceutical companies, and is said to be working on a project. After learning about the situation, Chloe and I met with Xu Shengxing one after another.

At noon, in a secluded woods, Xu Shengxing threw two police uniforms with helmets to us.

“换上这个.”他说,“然后出发吧.”
Chapter completed!
