26 The Faceless Man (twenty-three)
Seeing that the bodyguard behind Inoue Renta seemed to be about to take action, Inoue Renta suddenly raised his hand, like a football referee who suddenly raised a red card, stopping the bodyguard from moving, "Slow down."
"Hmm?" The bodyguard stopped in confusion.
"Don't hit it first." Inoue Inae said in a weird tone, "Although this room has been done with excellent sound insulation, even if you draw a gun here, you will not be heard by people outside. But you and Xu Shengxing are both super-level psychics. Once you fight, you will inevitably be noticed by people outside..."
"So what?" The bodyguard seemed to have no respect for Inoue Hito, the employer, and directly interrupted him, "You have been known to this policeman, but you are still afraid of this? What's the difference between this and a murderer who is afraid of killing a chicken."
"No, I mean, I think, this may be the last conversation I had with this friend." Inoue Hito said without looking back, "But I still want to do some... let's just remedy this hard-earned friendship. Because I... only have such a friend."
After saying that, he ignored his bodyguards and focused all his attention on Xu Shengxing, with a sincere expression and slapped, "Sheng Xing, come to my side."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Shengxing looked at him at this moment, as if he was watching a fool who was giving a speech to a tree so that he could make way.
But Inoue Hitota turned a blind eye and said wholeheartedly: "Since a long time ago, what you hate the most were 'vulgar bureaucracy' and 'stale rules'. Now, you work in the alliance system. With unique skills, you are restricted everywhere. How frustrating? You should be active on a better stage, and I can provide you with this opportunity. Perhaps in your opinion, I am just a criminal now and are not qualified to say such words, but you should also understand the value of the spiritual awakening medicine. You know I am studying this? As long as you use this achievement as a step, even the alliance will have to admit that the past sins will be wiped out, and then we will."
"Enough, I don't want to hear this." Xu Shengxing said coldly, "You have long been unrecognizable and are no longer my friend. Don't pretend to be a friend's face and talk to me, it feels like eating shit."
Inoue Hito's face changed, and then sighed, "Do you remember what I said to you before? People's hearts are easy to change, parents, husband and wife, brothers, friends... no relationship can last forever. This is exactly what our current rebellion is. Don't you think this is sad?"
"Do you still have the face to say this? Are you worthy?" Xu Shengxing seemed to suspect that something was wrong with his ears. Despite this, he still did not take action immediately. It can be seen that the other party does have some meaning in his heart. "Anyway, you have reached this point. If you really want to pursue the so-called unchanging human heart, why not hire a psychic to hypnotize others?"
"It's not as simple as you think." Inoue Hito said, "The human heart is like a ship that keeps changing parts. As the metabolism of forgetting and memory is metabolized, the old personality will sooner or later be replaced by the new personality. The speed of spiritual death is much faster than that of physical death. What a terrible thing that others don't understand at all. Even if the so-called hypnosis technique is used to force the relationship, if all other parts change, it's meaningless."
"Listen, I don't have any interest in your "life perception" that you see from unknown books, full of literary youth's odor, and his feet are ten meters above the ground." Xu Shengxing was unmoved, and even said disapprovingly, "I only care a little bit. What does this have to do with your research on psychic awakening medicine?"
"Just as you said to me." Inoue Hitoshi looked at him motionlessly, "Only by becoming a psychic can one be qualified to explore further areas."
"So you let your son dig out taboo knowledge from your wife's mind?" Xu Shengxing's question was undoubtedly a test.
"No." Inoue Hitoshi shook his head, "It is indeed taboo knowledge for me to study the source of confidence in the psychic awakening medicine, but it has nothing to do with my wife. Besides, my son, who is full of 'heroic thoughts', cannot help me."
He continued, "Tao knowledge is given to me by a 'mysterious person'."
"What?" Xu Shengxing frowned.
I had been listening to the audience behind, but I didn't expect that at this critical moment, a mysterious person would appear.
No, I did discuss with Chloe before that there may be a "behind the scenes" who gave the key knowledge of the Psychic Awakening Medicine to the mysterious organization, but I never linked it to the taboo knowledge.
"More than a month ago, the mysterious man with his head and tail appeared in front of me." Inoue Hito recalled, "He didn't know where he got the taboo knowledge containing the theory of 'making of psychic awakening medicine'. Although he lacked some technical details, it was still quite useful. While he handed it to me, he also asked me to make a promise that if I really made the finished product, I would also give it to him."
As he said that, he paused slightly, and his tone became sarcastic, "But I unilaterally abandoned this promise. The reason is simple. Since he has handed over his knowledge, it has no value. I don't want to hand over the precious technological achievements to those who enjoy their lives."
"You are becoming more and more dirty." Xu Shengxing said coldly.
"He probably wasn't willing to give up, so just this morning, he sneaked into here and wanted to steal the technical achievements here." Inoue Hito smiled, "but the ending can be imagined. He failed and ran away."
"Is that right? Then, you will also fail next." Xu Shengxing slowly stood up, and his momentum gradually increased, "And what makes you different from him is that you will never escape from my palm."
The bodyguard had no expression on his face and took a step forward.
"Arrogance will only bring destruction, Matsue." Inoue Hito also stood up, "Do you think you have a chance to win? No matter whether I have a super psychic, there are many subordinates in this pharmaceutical factory."
Before he finished speaking, the door suddenly became knocked open.
As the door opened, the sound of fighting outsiders broke into this room with excellent sound insulation like a storm. The person who hit the door was dressed as a security guard. He seemed to be what Inoue Hitoshi said. He was seriously injured at this time and wanted to say something to Inoue Hitoshi, but stared at him and couldn't even say a word, and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, I also understood. It turned out that Xu Shengxing seemed to be sitting and not moving, but had already sent signals to the police team lurking outside.
At this time, the police team had already broken into the building and the battle began.
*
The first person to do it was me.
I took the lead in climbing over the sofa and rushed towards Inoue Hito, while the bodyguard next to me showed a grim smile at me.
As he smiled, a large number of black lines suddenly blew up inside the room, which looked like the wind. This may sound a bit difficult to understand, but I might as well imagine it this way: in some paintings, in order to facilitate the viewers to understand, the painter will draw some black thin lines extremely sloppy to act as the shape of the wind. At this moment, these lines are like the "wind" blowing out of the picture, with an extremely sharp breath, and they surround me.
On the other side, Xu Shengxing did not stand by. He waved his arms suddenly, and a large number of flames emerged from every corner of the room, mixing with all the black winds on the field. At first glance, it seemed that a large number of orange and black "pigments" were mixed together, but bypassed me alone.
I took this opportunity to come to Inoue Hitoshi and prepared to knock him out first.
Just at the stall where I was about to succeed, a blue translucent wall was called "force field wall", which suddenly appeared between me and him, intercepting my attack. This should be the function of a certain psychic item that Inoue Hito was carrying. I was not surprised. Since he could afford a special psychic person as a bodyguard, it would be normal to carry one or two defensive psychic items.
At this time, an illusory figure "drilled" from under the floor behind him. It was a phantom created by Chloe with the "proof of differentiation" that could penetrate matter.
Inoue Hito turned around with some awareness, and Chloe should have completed the position exchange with Phantom at this time, and extended his left hand to him.
The next second, she did something beyond everyone present expectations.
She suddenly stabbed her finger into Inoue Hito's right eye socket, cruelly dug out his eyeball, and tore it apart with the subsequent optic nerve.
Inoue Renta suddenly let out a tragic howl, unless he has experienced it personally, no one can imagine how life is worse than death, the thick and dense optic nerve is torn off by someone with brute force.
Chloe's figure disappeared in a blink of an eye and never appeared in any of the room again. It is very likely that she had already arranged the Phantom in the outside world and had exchanged positions with the Phantom again.
But, why?
I couldn't understand this scene for a moment, and with Inoue Renta's scream, the wall of the force field between me and him suddenly fluctuated irregularly like the water surface that was quickly disturbed by someone with a stick. This omen is quite dangerous, and I immediately retreated for several meters.
Sure enough, the next second, the wall of the force field exploded, and the blast and the black wind and flames present were mixed together, making the scene extremely chaotic.
Through the smoke and dust that filled the room, I vaguely saw Inoue Renta dragging his scarred body and crawling away from the room.
I chased after me without thinking, but at this moment, the bodyguard suddenly came out from the side and stabbed a knife wrapped in black wind. It was clearly a human palm, but it had a terrifying momentum like an ancient siege hammer.
At this critical moment, I don’t have time to bother with this guy.
I avoided his attack, and at the same time I clenched my right fist, and hit him with my backhand. The punch did not carry the "zero-turning" power I used to fight Xu Shengxing before. This is not that I underestimated the enemy, you must know that even I cannot enter that incredible state anytime and anywhere. Even so, the strength of this fist seemed to have exceeded his expectations. Unpredictable, he was knocked out. Although his body was unscathed, he still showed a confused expression, as if he could not understand why he was beaten back by me, an ordinary person.
Immediately afterwards, he reorganized his posture and tried to attack me, but Xu Shengxing also came out from the side, entangled with him, and said to me: "Catch up!"
Without saying anything, I immediately evacuated the room and checked the corridor.
With just a little effort, Inoue Hito was gone.
Although he was injured and wanted to run, he would definitely not run far. Maybe he would die if he was not careful, but where should I find him in this situation?
Chloe didn't know where she went. I couldn't understand why she had to poach Hitoshita's eyeball. On this occasion, she had to poach his eyeballs, which had only one purpose. The employee who led us before said that some places in this pharmaceutical factory must pass the iris certification procedure to enter, and the newly dug eyes still have residual activity, and can also be used to pass the iris certification procedure.
But she has evidence of differentiation. Walls and doors are no different from air to her, so why do you have to use this method?
Unless, the place she wants to enter is the same room as last time, which can isolate the psychic energy.
And if so, new problems will arise.
And this question likely means that Chloe has not been my partner from the beginning.
I grabbed a researcher who fled in a hurry and asked him if there was a room here that met the two conditions of "must pass the iris certification procedure to enter" and "can be isolated from psychic energy".
"How do I know!" he shouted in panic, "Let me go!"
It seems that the way I asked the question was too polite.
I pulled out the pistol on my body, pressed against his forehead, and repeated my questions intact. After I finished speaking, I slowly applied force on the trigger in a way that he could feel it.
He didn't know there was no bullet in my pistol, and he suddenly had his eyes wide open, his body became weak, and he showed me the way in fear.
I left him and moved quickly in that direction.
Soon, I found a room at the end of the corridor. The door was open without defense. The interior area was equivalent to a high school classroom without any furnishings. There was only a square silver metal base in the center, which was about the height of a person's waist.
Chloe stood alone in front of the silver metal base, with her back facing me, as if she was staring at the top of the base.
I pressed the button beside the door, and the door closed immediately after brushing the floor.
"It seems that I really don't have a partner," I said, walking towards her.
"It's not your fault." As she said that, she turned around, took off her helmet and smiled, "Who made me a 'bad woman' of unknown origin?"
Chapter completed!
