When the train entered the middle of the platform, I woke up.

Through the window, you can see the board on the platform with a line of words written on it: Welcome to Anxi Town.

"Wake up." I kicked Hu Ma's calf, "We're at the station."

*

Anxu Town is undoubtedly a small town with a strange place name, but at the same time, it is also the temporary residence of Doctor Torino.

I still can’t figure out who the Doctor of Turin is. Even if I ask the drone to collect information, I can’t know his gender and age, nor do I know his appearance and origin. I only know that he is wandering around the league and is considered a wandering doctor, but the descriptions of his appearance are inconsistent among those who have seen him are. Some say he is a man, some say he is a woman, some say he is an old man, some say he is a young man, and some even say he is a child... In short, it is full of some intriguing speeches, full of suspicious atmosphere like urban strange talk.

I first found out about this person from the faceless shadow. She was working with me as "Adam" at the time, and I asked her if she knew who could prepare the reversal medicine.

"I know, but you can also use reversal medicine?" She was surprised at the time, "Aren't your inspiration dull enough to be immune to all mental attacks?"

"It has a special purpose." I answered her.

In addition, what she said was not completely correct. Even if the "side effects of the blood sacrifice ritual" were ruled out, there was indeed some way in this world that could have a spiritual impact on me. But I didn't need to tell her the truth.

She was so happy that she immediately reported the name of the person "Doctor Turin" to me and said that he should be temporarily living in Anxu Town recently.

Even at this moment, I don’t think she is lying to me. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, and lies are also used on the key parts. The more a clever liar like her, the less he will lie easily, especially those lies that have nothing to do with the current purpose. Otherwise, if I prove that she is lying from other ways, then she will shoot herself in the foot.

What's more, Anxi Town is just outside the suburbs of Beaver City. Because it is a well-known attraction, you can even go there directly from the subway station.

But this was finally the information that came out of the mouth of a woman like her. If there was no other way, I wouldn't want to try it, but now I can only find out first.

I informed Xu Shengxing about my recent trip to Anxi Town, but was strongly opposed by him, because I was worried that my son, who was disabled, would travel far. Although I had expected this kind of development, it was indeed inconvenient to leave without saying a word. Otherwise, with his temperament, he might have left his job and followed the clues and caught up directly.

After a while of exchange, we finally found a compromise: I will still go to Anxi Town, but someone must follow me.

This person is Hu Ma.

*

"Masu" is just a nickname.

His real name is "Yalves Christopher", and the number of words is so long that it makes people unable to remember. Therefore, after that, I will only call him by the nickname "Ma".

According to Xu Shengxing, this person is his confidant in the bureau, but because he made a mistake some time ago, he has been suspended now. He is definitely not a bad person. On the contrary, he has a sense of justice and is consistent in his words and is not flexible. He happened to be very idle recently. He heard that he was coming to accompany me, the "leader's son" to travel ("travel" is my excuse to go to Anxi Town), but he was very active and immediately responded.

The first time I met him officially was on the day of departure, and at noon two days after I killed Paul, it was at a crowded subway station.

He looks very handsome, with brown hair, red eyes, and a pair of dog ears with the same color as his hair on his head. He is a relatively rare sub-man. He is wearing a clean white shirt and black trousers, standing among the crowd, which makes passers-by look at each other frequently. To put it bluntly, like the male protagonist of some idol TV series, simple clothes can also be worn with a detached taste.

I felt like I had seen him somewhere, and even my long string of names seemed to have seen him somewhere.

His attitude was quite enthusiastic. After meeting me, he seemed to want to take away all the canes I was leaning on and then support me forward. At first, I thought this guy was actually a flatterer and wanted to use it to please me to gain Xu Shengxing's favor. But after real communication, I felt that this person's personality was indeed as Xu Shengxing said, with the same expression and enthusiasm, and the expression of enthusiasm was not like a false statement.

He told me his nickname and I asked casually: "Why do you call it 'Ma'?"

"The fighters in our Public Security Bureau all have their own nicknames. I originally wanted to choose 'flax', but there was also a policeman named flax, so I had to call myself flax." He told the truth, "This will never coincide again."

After hearing what he said, an impolite thought emerged in my mind: if he changed "some" to "big", it would be even less likely to overlap.

As he said that, the train arrived at the station. We entered the carriage and found a seat to sit down.

I asked about the reason for his suspension.

"This..." He said embarrassedly, "Some time ago, I was taken to Beaver Pharmaceutical to disguise the security guard by Captain Xu, and then met a faceless person... and did not inform other team members, and the information was revealed..."

After hearing what he said, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through my mind.

It turned out to be him!

I finally remembered that the last time I sneaked into Beaver Pharmaceutical, I did meet a supporter who was inside the Public Security Bureau and got some information out of him. Later, in order to prevent him from regretting, I went to inform my partner and I knocked him out.

At that time, he had neither spoken his name nor took off his helmet to reveal his face, but now I still feel that his face and name look familiar, because he showed me the police ID last time. I saw his face and name from the ID.

Although I said something wrong, he was already quite tolerant in doing that and suspending his post, probably because he was a psychic. The Beaver City Public Security Bureau was quite sleek when treating capable people, such as Naoto Inoue, and Hu Ma probably was the same now. If it were the public security bureaus in other cities, they would not be so tolerant.

"Do you support the faceless?" I asked. At the same time, the train started moving.

His dog's ears suddenly stood up and he nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"But, faceless man, isn't that a criminal? I've heard people mention that he seems to be a bad person who regards order as nothing and kills according to his own preferences." I said, "Wouldn't it be bad to support him as a policeman?"

Hearing this, he frowned and wanted to refute.

But after a while, his dog's ears drooped down like water, "It's not good."

I feel like he's going to say "but".

"But." He said so, "I still believe that the faceless man is just. He did kill many people, but they are all bad people. If destroying the bad people can save many good people in the result, then this should be done."

"Maybe the faceless man himself didn't think so."

"What do you mean?" he asked curiously.

"This is what my father talked to me. He believed that the faceless man did not fight for justice, but had a private motivation." I did not make up. Xu Shengxing had indeed chatted with me during dinner before. "In other words, the faceless man is probably selfish. The reason why he killed criminals is just because this coincides with his selfish motivation."

"This..." he thought frowningly, "Although I don't think Faceless is such a person...but if this is true, then I might still support Faceless."

"Why?"

"First, no matter what the motive is, the faceless man will punish evil and eliminate evil in the result." He said, "Second, the faceless man has saved my sister."

This time it was my turn to be curious, "Sister?"

"My sister, Helen Christopher," he recalled, "she said she was taken away by a man who seemed to be a sheepskin killer not long ago, and then suddenly someone appeared and fainted with a spray. When she woke up, the man was holding a bird-mouth mask in his hand and said to her, 'You're fine already', 'You can go home'..."

After he said this, I remembered that there was indeed such a thing. I did save such a woman when I was killing the sheepskin killer.

"When I heard the bird beak mask she described, I knew it must be a faceless person," he said. "At that time, I thought, if I met a faceless person in the future, I would definitely help him."

"So you covered him when he entered Beaver Pharmaceutical?" I suddenly said. I didn't expect that there was such a cause and effect, but I knew nothing about it at that time.

"Yes." He nodded, and then said helplessly, "Although I was knocked unconscious by him in the end, I didn't seem to be trusted at all." He said that, but there was no sign of resentment on his face, and he was really a weird person.

As he was talking, the train stopped by a stop.

One group of people walked down, and another group of people came up.

There were two conspicuous figures inside the new passengers. One of them was a beautiful girl in a wheelchair with long gray hair and a white dress. Although her eyes were closed, she did not look like she was sleeping, but was blind; the other was a woman with a low appearance, wearing a gray formal dress like a working woman, with a capable posture, walking behind and pushing the wheelchair for the former.

This combination is inevitably attracted attention. I took a look and quickly retracted my eyes.

The train continues to drive.

*

More than an hour later, the train arrived at the above ground platform in Anxi Town.

I screamed Hu Ma, who was still dozing off, and then walked out of the carriage with the crowd, and then out of the platform.

What catches your eye in front is Anxi Town, although it is a well-known attraction, it does not look like an ancient town. It seems to be just a modern town that can be seen everywhere. Apart from the lack of high-rise buildings, it seems that it is walking from one district of Beaver City to another district, and you can even see familiar chain convenience stores, snack bars, etc. here.

But in my opinion, this town has hidden crisis.

The reason is a piece of intelligence provided to me yesterday by the drone.

The "Inoue Renta's bodyguard" who fought with Xu Shengxing at the time was "violent", but did not fall into Xu Shengxing's hands after the incident, but retreated directly and disappeared. In order to observe the possible movements of the Geocentric Church in Beaver City, I entrusted a drone to investigate whether the Violent was still staying in Beaver City.

This commission was conducted simultaneously with the commission to investigate Doctor Torino.

Unexpectedly, last night, the drone sent me a screenshot of the surveillance video of the train station in Anxi Town. In the picture, they were violently mingled among the crowd leaving the station and walked towards the exit of the platform.

In other words, at this time, at least one special psychic in the Earth-centered Church was lurking in this town with unknown motivations.
Chapter completed!
