Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 83 The Shadow of Death

The red-haired girl in the photo was displeased and seemed to be holding back the killing intent.This face Zhen Cheng can be sure that he has never seen in person, but he has a good impression.Thinking back for a while, the very unnatural bright red hair gradually evoked memories from not long ago...

After a few seconds, Zhen Cheng remembered where he had seen this female face that could only be described as handsome and handsome.

It was in a news report that was used to determine time coordinates after her "rebirth".

The red-haired lady known as "High-profile Elogans", the criminal wanted for the shooting at the main entrance of Thetis, and the top assassin of Songhai Heart, is indeed as the fat man of the Holy Edge judged at the beginning. involved in this matter.

She went to Shikoku Academy City on the archipelago to be witnessed, just as she analyzed at the crime scene—to obtain the fragments of [No. [-] Antiquities] in the hands of bankrupt collectors.

It was the top assassin of Songhai Heart who shot, and it was only natural that the police in Academy City could do nothing.And referring to the date on the photo, this guy should have done a deal with his employer Thetis Pharmaceuticals immediately after he got it.

In this way, the previously somewhat confusing clues are connected.All that's left now is, what does this thing have to do with herself?
After learning about the background of the client, she even more disbelieved that she was assassinated one after another because she solved the case and discovered the other party's purpose.

The employer Thetis Enterprise, that is, Anbis, can't possibly pursue and kill himself at the time when his great career is about to be completed and risk tearing his face with Zhen Shi.It's not that he doesn't know himself, and this is completely contradictory to the way this guy was about to die ten minutes ago.

As for the Heart of Song Hai or the "high-profile Ai Logans" himself, it is even less possible to entrust such a third-rate killer to do it himself.They are the top killers. Would an apple grower go to the market to buy apples grown by others?

Except for the still unclear meteor shower attack, all the other pursuits Zhen Cheng encountered did not reveal the unfathomable strength of the opponent behind the scenes.The reason why these attacks are a headache is purely because of the prophecy of the other party's intelligence ability to know everything about his travel location and daily habits.

This even made her suspect that the opponent behind the scenes had "reincarnation" like her, repeatedly experiencing the same adventure or power over the same period of time.

The third photo below is titled Miracle - Ascension.The shooting background happened to be the central laboratory where Zhen Cheng had just escaped.This photo is slightly blurry and should have been taken during vigorous exercise.In the transparent container that can barely see the large equipment in the background, there is still only one third of the [No. [-] Antiquities].

The scene in the photo is as chaotic as it is today, and a clearly mutated human can be seen breaking free from the harness behind him, swaying through the dense gunfire without falling over.

This made Zhen Cheng have to sigh that the stupid Anbis had died without any loss.If it was her, when she got this photo, she would begin to wonder why she still had to risk destroying the research equipment and suppress the experimental subject with thermal weapons when the laboratory had many linked-list soldiers.

The pupils of the subject's eyes are full of hair, and it is obvious that they have lost their vision.Based on Zhen Cheng's earlier understanding of the Styx project, the hairy pupils and pus all over the body in the photo are exactly the experimental subjects who mutated and completely lost their minds when they contacted the semi-finished product [Water of Eternal Life] during the breakthrough in the first stage of the project. characterization.

Corresponding to Ambeth's description, it should be filmed before Alogans stole the fragment from the collector, and Thetis had just borrowed the first [Antiquities No. [-]] fragment from the Metropolitan Museum and obtained the fragment. When the Tix project broke through.

The three most recent photos above reveal the whole process of Thetis Pharmaceutical's research and development of [Water of Eternal Life].As mentioned by Ambius himself, the Styx project, which had already had sufficient technological accumulation, had an explosive reaction immediately after it came into contact with [Antiquities No. [-]] and completed the last piece of the occult puzzle.

And then scroll down and things get interesting.Zhen Cheng thought she would see the historical trajectory of the Styx project before Abis took over, but what she didn't expect to see was the origin of [Antiquities No. [-]] that she was more interested in.

The fourth photo is nominated for "Opportunity - The Key".Shown is a museum booth with the first fragment of [Antiquities No. [-]] on it.

The antiquities on the booth are exactly the same in shape and size as the photos shown by Fatty Shengbian at the beginning, and even the break marks at the cracks are all the same, but the background is very different.

Zhen Cheng immediately realized that, like many museums, the Metropolitan Museum was probably only displaying high-precision imitations for tourists.The fragments in this photo are the real ones that Thetis Enterprises have leased.

What is interesting is that most of the exhibits that the museum will handle in this way are exhibits with great historical significance or monetary value, and they are by no means the treatment that can be obtained by fragments of "suspected fragments of classical Sioux handicrafts".

That is to say, there are only two possibilities.Either the Met knew the true value of the fragment in the first place, or the artifact of unknown value was brought to the attention of repeated attempts to steal it.

Zhen Cheng prefers the latter inference.Because if it is the former, then the core of the Scary family, who actually controls the entire American continent, must have long understood its value, and it is not the turn of Abis, a young generation of careerists, to jump out and find out.

What caught Zhen Cheng's attention was not the fragment itself, but the background behind the fragment's booth in the photo.It was a background wallpaper made from a group of old photos.The photo is so sharp that the handwriting in the corner of the background wallpaper can be discerned: Middle Minnesota River, 1964
The old photos are all records of the archaeological excavation site of that year.Zhen Cheng had no interest in those scenes where archaeologists squatted in the pit and explored with brushes, but he didn't know that his future destiny would be closely linked to such a scene.

But that's another story. What attracted Zhen Cheng's attention at the moment was a mural carved by a primitive man in a cave.The color and shape of the picture are no different from ordinary ancient Indian works, but there is a situation that could never have appeared in prehistory - the regular octahedron in the picture!
Ordinary people may think that since [Antiquities No. [-]] themselves were unearthed in this prehistoric site, is there anything wrong with the ancient Indians who owned this cultural relic painting it on their walls?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this situation.The real problem that Zhen Cheng realized at first sight was actually the octahedron itself in the fresco.
