Returning from the abyss

Chapter 208 The Fifth Source Quality

For convenience, let's call it "cruel".

After all, he is the current holder of the essence of cruelty. If he can't be called, it will be difficult to continue talking about related matters.

The ability is [unknown].

Due to the [unidentified] past, the ability to make all cognitions about oneself [unknown] is also to completely cover up one's nervousness and fear.Even though he captured the fifth district and acquired the evil of the essence, "Cruel" still lives in restlessness and anxiety.

[Unknown] There is no problem of distance, everything about oneself will be interrupted by various accidents, or will be skipped inadvertently, and no one will even be able to notice the problem.However, even with such a thorough ability, it still can't let "cruelty" completely cover itself. Whenever the ability reacts, it will start to feel uneasy, for fear that someone will be able to bypass the scope of its own ability and discover its own existence.

"Cruel" has seen too many terrifying abilities, and even secretly visited several members of the Council of Heaven, but they just ran away when they saw it from a distance, and dared not get close.

Reaching out from the bottom of his heart, "Cruel" doesn't think he deserves to be on an equal footing with those people.

In the tenth district, in the black market, the curtain of the ghost mother-in-law's tent was lifted at dusk.

Seeing the person wrapped in black robes, the ghost mother-in-law froze for a rare moment. There are very few people who cannot see their own situation with her eyesight, and this person in front of her is one.

"It's closed today..."

"I want to divination! I am willing to give you any amount of money! Please divination for me! Aren't you able to see through fate?"

The visitor yelled loudly, slapped a handful of gold coins on the table with trembling hands, and knocked down the card box next to it containing the Major Arcana.

Three cards fell from the not-so-large table and landed at the feet of the man in black, making a small sound.The ghost mother-in-law tremblingly picked up an oil lamp, lit it, and shone at the feet of the man in black.

"It's dark, I can't see clearly, can you tell me which cards fell on the ground?"

"The Hermit..."

"Positive position or reverse position?"

"I see it's upside down, what's the point? Tell me quickly!" the man in black yelled impatiently.

"In the past... low self-esteem, worry, a little childish... what's next?"

"Moon, right position."

"Uneasy card, you are not satisfied with the status quo, you have not used all your power, and you still have unknowable potential within you..."

"Is there any more? Haha, haha, sure enough, I don't have to be like this all the time, yes, yes. Yes, if those guys keep asking me, just get rid of them all, how simple it is? I... I'm not afraid..."

The man in black let out a weird laugh, and staggered out of the tent.

The ghost mother-in-law didn't make a sound to stop her, she moved her body with great effort to clean up the messed up table, and also picked up the three tarot cards on the ground.

The Reversed Hermit and the Direct Moon represent the past and the present respectively, but...

The card representing the future was picked up by the ghost mother-in-law.

"Reaper in the right place... poor man..."

"Cruel" walked towards the exit of the black market, but was hit by several people running past on the road, and fell to the ground because of being caught off guard.

"Damn it, the roads in this place should be cleaned up, right? I can't see anything clearly when it's dark!"

The other party almost fell over, turned his head but did not see any unevenness on the ground.

At this moment, the street lights suddenly turned on.Pale white light fell on the face of the man who hit Cruel, a plain-looking man of about thirty years old.

But Cruel recognized the face.

"Cruel" has seen most of the members of the Council of Heaven, and knows what they look like. Dr. D's many identities are not secrets in his eyes.

Detection.

"what happened……"

After all, it is the manager of the tenth district, even if it is only a part, the other party will immediately notice that there is something wrong.

"damn it--"

"Cruel" reacted instantly, pulled out a dagger from under the robe with his backhand and pounced on it.

[Unknown] Completely covered up all his movements and even his cognition in people's eyes, Detection was unable to defend against attacks at all, and he didn't even understand why he had a long and deep wound from his throat to his abdomen before he activated his ability .

"Why am I always so unlucky... Even if I just come out to make a fortune, there will be a risk of exposure... Is my ability not perfect? ​​What am I thinking? This guy is Dr.D! They will definitely find a way Find out my identity, and then take everything from me." Cruel held his head, staring at the corpse on the ground at a loss, but suddenly saw the notebook dropped in the opponent's pocket.

"What needs to be dispatched to transport the main body?"

This sparked interest in "Cruel."

The record in the notebook is "Rebel".

Despite the Celestial Council's preeminent status in the city and its ability to tolerate a lot of evil, there are still some boundaries.This bottom line varies from person to person, and "cruel" is very curious about what the doctor's bottom line is.

[Shiwen Ye Nai, disappeared after escaping from the fourth district, and appeared several times with the goal of completing the mission on HELLSPEED.The recent operation is collecting evil codes, the risk assessment level has increased, and if necessary, order Death to clear it. 】

[Jiang Shanhao, abnormal investigation operation.The purpose of the action is unknown, but there is already a trend towards the upper echelon of the Council of Heaven, which seems to be hostile.The same goes for his younger sister, Jiang Shanluo, but she has shifted her focus recently.Order Deny to go clean up if necessary. 】

[Zhou Li, detective, seems to have discovered the dark lines left by District [-] and District [-], which should not be exposed.Destiny has been ordered to go clean up. 】

[Lu Ning, suspected to be dead.Previously, clues to clinics in the tenth district had been seized, and incidents related to doctors were tracked down. Jealousy was dispatched to investigate, and once found to be alive, it would be cleared.NOTE: The heart, kidney, and cornea are key organ sources and should not be damaged as much as possible. 】

"What, you old thing is afraid of being found, isn't it? Is your body as weak as mine?" "Cruel" gently scratched his chin, "The dark lines in the fifth and first districts? What do you mean? Have you already infiltrated my territory? What are you plotting? And these people... why are there so many people in the city who like to check around..."

"Hey! Is there someone dead over there!"

After all, it was not late at night, there were always pedestrians passing by, and the corpse on the ground was soon discovered.

"Go back and think about it, what are these guys doing? Am I too worried about my current situation, ignoring any conspiracy among the other members? There is nothing good about these guys..."

"Cruel" stood up holding the notebook, and let the few people who came here leave in the opposite direction.

==========================
Lu Ning and Wei Yin had arrived at Lisufo's old residence, and Saxiu's rest time ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, so he could only go back to work.

During the day, the second floor of the house is locked, and there are people coming and going, which is not suitable for sneaking in. The two sat in Wei Yin's room and chatted. Wei Yin also showed Lu Ning the information she had studied. summary report.Generally speaking, all aspects of her investigation have clues, and her conjectures are relatively close to the facts, but there is no strong evidence.

During this period, Lu Ning received a message from Ye Nai.

[Gu Tong entered the city hall, the security there is too tight, I want to find a secret path, and I won't contact you yet.I will contact you again when I come out. 】

【be careful. 】

After that, there was no news.

After night fell, Wei Yin opened the door and peeked out secretly, and confirmed that there was no movement in other rooms, so she picked up a backpack that she had prepared earlier and called Shang Lu Ning, and the two of them tiptoed to the steps on the second floor.

Going up the stairs, the top is blocked by a solid iron door with four locks on it. It looks like you don't want people to go in.

"The more this is the more curious it is."

With a sly smile, Wei Yin took out a set of lockpicking tools from her bag and began to toss through the keyholes one by one, while Lu Ning stood by and watched.

The four locks took a long time, and Lu Ning didn't want to disturb Wei Yin's concentrated work, so she began to wonder if there was anything missing that needed to be investigated in the near future.

There must be something wrong.

"District [-], Labillins, atheism. The relevant clues are the Ability Research Project and the White Butterfly Killer. Zhou Li also asked for the staff list of a building there, and it was avoided by Sabbath activities. District [-], The library, dull. The relevant clues are the Lisufo badge stored in the university library and the tree diagram of the reverse Kabbalah. The third district... Mora Jano, the rejection, the orphanage, the clues are pitiful. The fourth district, Untouched, imaginary, the clue is the Colosseum, suspected to have Dr. D's intervention? District [-], Cruelty, the majestic information about Lisufo in the museum, and the area that Rie Kazama once managed. District [-]—— wait?"

Lu Ning noticed something wrong, but she didn't realize it yet.

At this moment, the door clicked, and Wei Yin pushed hard, and the iron door opened quietly.

"Lu Ning! I succeeded, let's go in?"

"Ah good."

The matter in front of him was more important, Lu Ning responded and followed Wei Yin into the door.

The second floor didn't smell much dust, apparently it was cleaned frequently.The layout of this floor is very different from that of the first floor. Most of the rooms have a peculiar hexagonal design, and the floor and ceiling are also slightly angled downward and upward, which is not flat.

"How can this happen here?"

"Not sure, but I'm guessing it actually means profanity."

As Wei Yin spoke, she looked up at the ceiling.

"In any case, since the room here has maintained its original appearance, let's not forget that this is the room given to Risuvo by the Royal Medical Association."

Lu Ning understood what Wei Yin meant.

Although it is a private room, due to the architectural style at that time and the purpose of this house, there should have been some murals on the walls and ceiling.

"Although Lisufo grew up in a theological environment, judging from his ability to develop a cure for the plague, his scientific attainments are also quite high. I have consulted Professor Remington about related things before, and he told me that in that Scientists in the era generally have knowledge in several disciplines, rather than the current state of distinct disciplines."

Wei Yin opened the hourglass-shaped bookshelf door.

"Do you think this room looks like an eyesore?"

Lu Ning nodded.

Not only is the shape of the room weird, but the design of the furniture and objects inside is also unique in shape. It cannot be said that there is no beauty, but it looks quite awkward.

"The more science is studied, the easier it is to marvel at the wondrous rhythms of the creation of the universe, but this room spoils all natural beauty."

Wei Yin took out a book on the bookshelf, it was a square book, there was no mark on the cover and back cover, it seemed that it was just a cover made of kraft paper.

"It's true... the angle is very strange, and it always makes people feel uncomfortable..."

"The golden section." Wei Yin said, "What Lisufo intends to destroy is not the traditional belief, but everything he believed in in the past."

"But he's also relying on everything he's learned."

"It's this kind of distortion that caused his psychological problems. Wait, see what I found? This book is Risufor's secret record, and it's about his followers..."

confession.

All the records on it were crimes. Although it was a long time ago, the records of those crimes were still as bright red as if they were soaked in blood. I don't know what kind of ink Lisufo used.The initial notes were steady, but as they accumulated more and more, the subsequent handwriting gradually became distorted and restless, as if reflecting the author's mood.

till the end--

[If God really exists, why should "sin" be allowed to spread in the world?I can no longer listen to the stories of these sinners as a bystander, and I empathize with the victims, so have I lost my qualifications as a pastor?

I turned to the Archbishop for an answer.He told me that God exists, but only devout people can hear God's voice.

—I never listened.

I have been persuading the believers who come to me with what I consider "goodness".I thought I was following the will of God to spread this, but I was wrong.

God, if he existed, never loved me.

All the actions I take are from my own will and have nothing to do with the so-called gods.

I am God. 】

click.

The breeze blew in along the window, rolled the curtains, and let the wet rain outside rush into the room.

That window should be closed.

Lu Ning raised her pistol and pointed it at the window. At this moment, there was already a figure in a dark blue raincoat leaning there. An unusually bright light came from somewhere outside, making it impossible for Lu Ning to see the other party clearly. head.

"I was a little uneasy, so I took a look at the situation here."

Talking to himself, the man jumped off the window sill, and as he passed the desk, his fingers lightly brushed the surface of the desk.

"Two mice, did they get in here? There's nothing useful left here, but people don't like mice getting in, even if it's an empty refrigerator."

As he was turning around, Lu Ning could finally see part of his face clearly.

The eye on the right is a whole piece of dark blue gemstone.
