Although the physical strength of the psychics is no different from that of ordinary people when they do not drive the psychic energy, Hasegawa will not suffer any injuries due to falls, but it just looks quite embarrassed.

The waiter wanted to help him, but he shook his head and refused, and stood up with the tables and chairs that fell beside him, and then took the initiative to put all the tables and chairs he had knocked back to their original position with the waiter. His attitude surprised me a little. I thought he was a guy who regarded ordinary people as third-class citizens because he was a psychic, but his true character seemed not as savage as he had just shown.

Adam also came forward to help, and I couldn't sit alone. For a moment, the scene became very different from the "meeting meeting of three black zone residents". Soon, we returned to our original seat.

Hasegawa changed into awkward sitting position that could escape at any time, as if I could rush over and bite him at any time, staring at me intently.

"I heard from others that the faceless man was dead, dead in the siege that year ago." Adam said to me, "but I didn't expect that you are still alive and even move freely."

"Facialless Man" is the nickname given to me by people in this city. The idea of ​​giving this nickname is also very direct, because I have never been in the black area of ​​Beaver City with my true face.

Even my ex-partner has never seen my true face or know my true identity. For a long time, no one even knew that my face was actually disguised.

But after being betrayed by my ex-partner, everyone knew that I could disguise myself.

In fact, when I was most active in the past, residents of the black zone called me another name. The nickname "Faceless Man" gradually became popular after I retired seriously.

I replied without changing my face: "Even a long time ago, there were many people trying to kill me in various ways. But their efforts eventually proved useless. As you can see, I am not a person who will die so easily. It would be too naive to think that just a few psychics can send me back to the West."

"There must be a limit to speak loudly!" Hasegawa snorted dissatisfied, but when I glanced at me, he turned his face as if he had never said anything.

To be honest, I also know that I am talking big, and when I say those big words, I often feel hot and always wonder whether my words and sentences will be too high-profile, or even seem "unaware of the world".

But since I have experienced a series of activities in the black area, I have realized that I rarely use the attitude of "humility" to deal with these people. They are just "cheap" and just eat this.

If they change to a low-key style, they will suspect that this is a sign of "there is an opportunity to take advantage of".

"Better than this, let's start getting to the point." I said, "I want to know what the mysterious organization you are investigating."

*

"That is a local organization that is studying how to use drug technology to transform ordinary people into psychics." The speaker was Hasegawa. He was depressed with me in his tone. "Any drug must be tested after development, and the effect and safety are tested to determine whether it is 'completed' or 'entering the next step'. The initial testing process was generally carried out through animals, but the problem is that the drugs studied by the mysterious organization were developed in a targeted manner based on the details of human physiological characteristics and details. The goal is to force disturb the physiological changes of people, induce psychological changes, and ultimately make the soul change and awaken the psychic energy."

"So, this drug cannot be tested in animals, and can only be directly entered into the human body experiment. Is that true?" I asked.

"Yes." He said, "This is a technology that is unethical, and it is natural that volunteers cannot be recruited publicly, and internal personnel will not try medicines on their own, so they began to enter the black market and buy 'little mice' from human traffickers."

"However..." Adam took over the conversation, "Even if they are 'little mouse', they still have specific requirements. They must be talented people with better psychic talents."

"Why?" I asked according to her words.

"Their medicine is temporarily in the semi-finished stage, which can only turn people with better psychic talents into psychics, and there are also dangers and huge side effects that cannot be ignored. Then they will collect data from the experimental subjects to enter the next stage and develop safe drugs that can awaken psychics for people with less psychic talents." Hasegawa explained, "Because human traffickers cannot provide so many 'just-right' experimental subjects, they decided to do it themselves, kidnap residents of low social levels from Beaver City and its surrounding villages and towns to meet the needs of the experiment."

"It seems that the decision-making level of this mysterious organization is mostly 'bad men with professional crime'."

While expressing my thoughts, I recalled which local organizations have this technical ability, but after thinking about it, I couldn't find a target that I could doubt for a moment.

After all, when turning ordinary people into psychics, where does this mysterious organization have the confidence to study such projects?

At the same time, Hasegawa showed a puzzled reaction, "Outsider? How did you know?" He was confused by my words, which surprised me a little.

"Don't you know?" I said, "As the saying goes, rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests, and local organizations directly kidnap people locally, which can easily increase the possibility of being detected by local police. Slightly professional criminal organizations will choose to kidnap people in other places. If they are criminal organizations with long hands, they will choose a more distant dispute zone. In such a smoky place, no one will think that missing a living person is worth noting."

"That's right." Adam also nodded, "However, it's an organization with scientific research projects, and there must be smart people inside. Although the decision-making team initially made a fuss because of their own layman, they soon noticed their own low-level mistakes and came up with a plan to avoid being tracked by local police."

Upon hearing this, I lowered my head and started to think.

A criminal organization that kidnapped local residents, a sheepskin killer who was awakened by drugs, and a plan to avoid being tracked by local police...

I immediately reached a possibility, looked up and asked, "Is the sheepskin killer a 'scapegoat'?"

Adam nodded in agreement and said, "The mysterious organization found the sheepskin killer and deliberately took him semi-finished medicine to make him a psychic. However, the spiritual awakening induced by this semi-finished medicine is completely different from the conventional spiritual awakening. It is equivalent to the cost of burning the soul, and it will also cause huge changes in the psychology of the drug taker. The sheepskin killer has a serious tendency to commit crimes, and the power and side effects brought by the medicine make him let go of all his concerns and kidnap local residents everywhere and kill them. In order to make his criminal activities smoother, the mysterious organization even provided him with a psychic spell that increases his concealment."

The psychic spell she mentioned is naturally the "fake technique".

At this moment, most of the doubts in my heart have been swept away.

Why does the gift level of the blood sacrifice ritual not match the soul value of the sheepskin killer? Because the sheepskin killer is not a normal psychic at all. His psychic energy is brought at the cost of a high-speed burning soul. The value of this soul naturally cannot be compared with the true psychic.

The mysterious organization's "scapegoat" plan is also very simple. It is to find a lunatic in the black area and kidnap local residents everywhere. Then, according to this situation, it is the development of "scapegoat arrested by local police" and "not arrested". It prepares two sets of clues and physical evidence in detail, so as to push all the criminal records left by his early crime onto the sheepskin killer.

The reason why Adam wanted to find the Sheepskin Killer was because he could get clues from the mysterious organization from the Sheepskin Killer.

The reason why "even corpses" is that Hasegawa is probably a rare psychic medium among psychics. He can make the corpse "speak". Maybe he can get more clues than asking directly if he does this.

Just in case, I asked Hasegawa if he was a psychic, and then got a positive answer.

"Most of the information we have mastered now is explored by Hasegawa's divination technology as a psychic medium, as well as the psychic technology." Adam said, "If it weren't for his assistance, I wouldn't even know that the Sheepskin Killer had a relationship with the mysterious organization, and I thought the Sheepskin Killer was an ordinary serial murderer." Speaking of this, she made a helpless gesture, "But unfortunately, what we know is limited to this. Do you want to know anything else?"

*

"Your motives," I said, "Why do you follow this mysterious organization?"

"Wait, didn't you agree to 'Ask every question'?" Hasegawa asked with little confidence.

I looked at him without saying a word, and he turned his eyes away.

Adam smiled and replied: "My motive is not complicated. In my daily process of casting nets to collect intelligence, I accidentally touched the boundaries of the mysterious organization. They especially did not want others to know their existence, so they immediately sent someone to chase me. Since they treated me like this, I naturally would not be polite."

"I helped Adam fight back the enemy when he was hunted, and formed a temporary cooperative relationship." Hasegawa also talked about himself, "The reason for my hostility to the mysterious organization is also very simple. My sister was kidnapped by them."

"They kidnapped your sister? A psychic sister?" I asked back.

"It's a long story." Hasegawa avoided talking.

"We've finished speaking, then, about the corpse of the sheepskin killer..." Adam looked at me.

Unfortunately, I could only shake my head, "If I were the same as before, the sheepskin killer's body had been wiped out by me."

"You" Hasegawa stood up angrily, and then he had a slight meal under my eyes. His words changed, "...the milk tea is about to be cold, drink it quickly." Then he sat down.

A second later, he seemed to feel that his reaction was too cowardly, and he seemed to "the more he thought about it, the more angry he became", and his psychological activities were written on the surface.

I brewed my own words and continued, "Although I can't hand over the body, in exchange, I can join you and assist your activities."

"What!" Hasegawa was stunned.

Adam asked cautiously: "What is your motivation?"

"I'm interested in the drug that can turn ordinary people into psychics." I replied.

"You want to be a psychic?" she asked.

"It's a long story." I glanced at Hasegawa and pulled the corners of his mouth.

Adam reminded: "But that drug is only a semi-finished product, with huge side effects."

"It is also possible that they have developed finished products now, right?" I asked back.

Upon hearing this, Adam thought for a moment and said to me that he wanted to discuss it privately with Hasegawa. After I nodded, she pulled Hasegawa out of the fast food restaurant, and whispered to me.

I sat in a fast food restaurant and recalled everything I had before.

For me, the "Hasta Blood Sacrifice" is certainly one of the routes to becoming a psychic, but this path is too dangerous and no different from walking on a tightrope. According to the taboo knowledge in my mind, the higher the quality of the soul sacrificed during the blood sacrifice ritual, the more gifts it will give and the stronger the side effects. I was almost doomed to death if I sacrificed a mere sheepskin killer before, and if the sacrificed person was a real psychic, then I would definitely be finished.

But I have to say, I am really lucky.

At the beginning, I really planned to catch a psychic for blood sacrifice first, and regardless of whether the idea of ​​"catching a psychic first" comes from the influence of taboo knowledge, if I really do it, the outcome can be imagined.

However, what I caught was a "fake psychic", which saved my life. I was deceived by the psychic identity of the sheepskin killer, but this deception actually brought good results.

This gave me the opportunity to reexamine the good and bad of the blood sacrifice ceremony.

Although I have not had a solution to reduce side effects, it can be achieved, but it is not that convenient.

It’s better to try to add another path to track the mysterious organization. Although I don’t think they may develop the so-called “finished products” at all, I can’t say whether it can bring me some surprises.

A moment later, Adam and Hasegawa returned.

"How are you discussing?" I spoke first.

The two looked at each other, and then Adam took the initiative to step forward and welcomed: "I have heard of the name of 'faceless man' for a long time. I am very honored to be able to cooperate with you."

"Each one another." I also nodded seriously, "Although I have heard of you having some bad rumors, I can see that you are not that kind of person. Don't look at me like this, I am actually very confident in my own eyes when looking at people. Who is a trustworthy person and a shameless liar? I have my own way of distinguishing."

Speaking of this, I took the initiative to stretch out my right hand, "And you are a trustworthy person, let's fight together."

She stood there in a daze, then showed a touching smile and held my hand.
