The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 385 Secret Investigation and Alchemy
Secret agents are people to trust, especially someone like Kasim.

Gwen put down the tableware, crossed her hands and fingers in front of her abdomen, and turned her head to look at the handsome spy.

The plain black midi skirt, black body stockings, thigh-length soft boots, and secret detective coat that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.Her appearance is so beautiful that she looks like a high-ranking member of the March Church, and her quiet and peaceful temperament makes it impossible to believe that she and Gwen are also a murderer who likes to "vent violence on the wicked".

What kind of secret did Kasim pry into so that he found a time near the curfew to tell himself?

The other party doesn't seem like someone who would disturb others casually.

"Do you know the specific requirements of the Eternal Ritual?" Kasim cast a spell to shield the surrounding prying eyes.

Gwen nodded:

"I have a guess."

The main body is two particularly powerful source of power, and then add a few 'firewood'.This is probably the condition, but Gwen is not clear about the specific ritual and principle.

"..." Kasim gave an encouraging look.

Gwen recalled:
"To hold the ceremony, at least two volunteers are required, and then a few source force envoys are used as sacrifices. By concentrating the source force of many people on these two people, and then going through some kind of killing? Create an eternal life."

"Roughly right." Kasim paused and said calmly, "But there is one important thing missing."

"Important..." Gwen frowned.

"The body of a grotesque thing, a part of the body of a powerful extraterrestrial." Kasim lit a lady's cigarette, held it between his slender fingers, and blew out a smoke ring gracefully. The way, the incarnation of the extraterrestrial can cut off the shackles of the immortals on Utopia. This is something that is really rare. In contrast, although the rest of the materials are precious, they are not impossible to obtain."

Do you still want the flesh and blood of the aliens?

"Since you mentioned it, then the unspeakable secret you discovered is also related to the ritual of the immortal?"

"..." Kasim pointed to his throat, and answered irrelevantly, "The power of the curse is indeed very powerful. Just like a sealed language and blocked thinking, after I had the idea of ​​leaking it to you, An invisible force blocked my thoughts, and I can no longer recall whether the secret I want to tell you is related to the ceremony, but it must be related to you."

"Related to me..." Gwen's pupils narrowed slightly, thinking of a possibility.

"Things beyond the sky." He repeated this root. In Utopia, the root of things beyond the sky is also the original part of speech of 'traveler' and 'people from another world'.

After repeating it twice, his complexion became ugly.

Looking directly into Kasim's eyes, there was no haze in the other's clear eyes.

The beautiful detective nodded slightly: "It's a similar word."

With guesswork comes power.

Strength stabilizes the mind.

The mind drives the thoughts.

Kasim's thoughts were pushed, breaking through some weak seals, she remembered something, and quickly said: "Weird talk."

The word broke the seal.

She took a slow drag on the cigarette, letting the pungent smell fill her nostrils.

After about two seconds, she closed her eyes slightly:
"The emergence of strange stories is the excavation and imitation of things outside the sky. The source of power will identify incomprehensible forces as things outside of the sky, and strange stories are things that we cannot understand. A source of power who wants to be promoted to immortality If you can’t have something beyond the sky, you can try to replace it with strange stories.”

Gwen understood:
"So I'm one of the sacrifices? An extraterrestrial thing? The most important component?"

"Yes, you are Rendan." Kasim closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

The word 'rendan' is extremely evil.If this Utopian language is translated literally...

...can be understood as 'a elixir made by people'.

She opened her eyes and saw the disgusted expression on Gwen's delicate face because of this word, and recalled her previous exploration of secrets.

...

hours ago.

In the depths of the Old Countryman, an unknown abandoned boiler room.

Miss Secret Detective, wearing a plain black dress, plain black pantyhose, and thigh-high soft boots, wore that coat with excellent protective capabilities, and broke in lightly.

It was Kasim who came.

"No?" After looking around for a week, she was a little disappointed.

Sudden.

Her eye was drawn to a floor where two dormant ghouls lay.

hum.

Holding the lightsaber, she slowly paced over...

Clean, neat and fast!
One sword sliced ​​off two heads.

After cleaning, he split the floor where the ghoul was lying on his stomach, and as expected, he saw a secret room.

"Sure enough, there are so many places where human pills are burned, there must be ghouls wandering around."

Ghouls are looking for death, not just corpses, but more importantly, they are looking for the characteristics of death.

Very useful for someone like Kasim.

Going down, the secret room is not big, with four chairs and four dead bones on it.In the center of the four chairs is a large werewolf whose body has dried up, and next to it is a well-preserved female corpse.

Ritual of the Immortals.

Kasim recognized the appearance of the female corpse. The other party used to be a spy, whose code name should be [Spirit Hunter].Very powerful, once considered one of the ten most powerful detectives, she has stepped into the second stage of source power (she claims), but now it seems that she still has reservations, the third stage is for her It is no longer a secret to say that, so an immortal ceremony was secretly held.

Fortunately, it failed.

hum.

The lightsaber was pulled out, and the heads of the werewolf and the female corpse were all beheaded.

She looked at the chair and said in her mouth:

"What an offense."

hum.

The heads of the four skeletons were also beheaded.

She felt relieved to explore this area.

Here, she found the diary and memo of the female corpse [Spirit Hunter].

"It seems that you are still a secret agent."

She turned her head and muttered to herself to the head on the ground.

Looking at the memo, she frowned, and saw the word in her eyes:
"Human Dan."

Juanxiu's handwriting is recorded in very printed traces:

"The ritual of the eternal life, a stupid ritual of pursuing eternal life, the essence should be to cleanse the filth in one's body, so as to obtain a new life. Hunting is used to obtain the source of satisfaction for the ritual, and there are also things that can be improved. Such as the extraterrestrial Acquisition, since the Favanians closed the waterway over Utopia, the material of the eternal life ceremony that Utopia can obtain has begun to be lacking, but I have always believed that the road to promotion is placed on the gift of heaven and unexpected gifts , It’s really ignorant. We are not primitive people who pray for the fire from the wood struck by the thunder, Utopians must master the material production of the immortal ceremony.”

Is the spirit hunter this kind of person?

I'm afraid she is.

Kasim hates this, what she hates is that this kind of good person turns bad, and the reason for turning bad is to 'be good'.

This would give her a fatalistic sense of astonishment and a sense of doomed depression.

In order to avoid bad emotions continue to show.

She read on:
"What are the extraterrestrial things? Why do they have the effect of being taken by people, and then absorbing the source power, so that they can transcend the vulgarity and become immortals? I have heard that dragons and mermaids from the sky exist as extraterrestrial things, but The role played by these creatures, in my opinion, may be purely driven by the mind, not the role of real power. There may be some of them, but the role of symbols is more. The immortals turn symbols into reality, thus I entrust a part of myself to go out, therefore, the revived body of Kaidan can also be regarded as something outside the sky."

Can the reanimated body of Guai Tan also work?
Kasim remembered that before, the spirit hunters suddenly became interested in tracking the resurrected ghosts.

"Did it start at that time?"

She exhaled.

"Experiment [-]: Strange talk [Pinos Street Gunner], the resurrected person was made into a human pill, and the blood of a hundred sinners was used, and it worked well. But it is not very useful for me. Now I think it can be used More strange talk about the resurrection system of adult pills.

Experiment [-]: Strange talk [Wolf of the Night], the resurrected person has completely degenerated, and has been reduced to the sinful point of eating the living.This time it was my turn to eat it.It is feasible, the effect of this human pill is very useful, and I feel that my dehumanization is getting stronger and stronger.But at the same time, my sense of shame became weaker and weaker, and my rule of not looking for people other than sinners as sacrifices was shaken, and I began to lose control of my increasingly restless heart.

Experiment three...

...

Experiment 71, the strange talk [Ghost in Red Boots], I have already begun to completely lose my mind.I have a premonition that this time will be my last experiment. The Secret Detective may not be a good person, but he must not be a bad person. I am willing to make sacrifices, and I am also willing to accept rewards.So even if I wasn't ready, I had to perform the Ritual of the Immortals.In order not to lose my mind and become the villains I hate the most.Latecomers, if I succeed, you will not be able to see this notebook. If I fail, remember to cut off the head of the corpse. "

You really are still a spy.

Kasim heaved a sigh of relief, put the experiment report and the memo into his inner pocket, and saw a line of words on the page of the diary:

"I have already confirmed that the more powerful the human pill refined by the revived body of the strange story is, the more effective it is. And the human pill of the strange story is also effective for the immortal. I can finally confirm why the old man is in such a peaceful and weird state. In the tranquility, the fundamental reason why no immortal dared to take action on the Laoxiangren was because there were three most precious human pills on this train, and the three strange stories. Once it is shot, it may lead to competition, and Long Yan The person himself is extremely powerful, and if someone trips up the idle Eternal, he might really fall into his hands."

"To prevent the formation of human pills, the best way is to kill the reanimated body, but that's not safe. It's best to cut off the reanimated body's head at the moment the kill is guaranteed."

"If an immortal obtains the human pill of the three strange stories, I am afraid that there will be no one in Utopia who will be able to stop this immortal."

...

Looking at him with a beautiful face in front of him, Gwen actually showed a seductive expression like an unconscious succubus, which made Kasim almost unable to say specific words when he was distracted.

For a moment, the reanimated body of the beautiful mind flayer showed a malicious and unconscious smile, the corners of his mouth curled up in a mischievous manner, and there seemed to be flakes of flame in his fiery pupils.

"Are you distracted?"

The lips are pursed slightly, this unconscious movement is very attractive.Kasim felt a little thirsty, in order to cover up this, she took a sip of the water glass with no expression on her face.

"No," she said.

"I think you are just distracted..." Gwen brushed the hair next to her ear, and suddenly said seriously:
"What are the restrictions on the human pill? If you use the reanimated body, what are the restrictions? Do you need to prepare a cauldron, or a chopping board, and a meat knife?"

Although his expression was very serious, it was obvious that this goblin-like boy was joking:

"Or I need to be ready to wash, in order to be refined into a good pill. Kasim, the threat you mentioned is just another euphemism for 'escape from Utopia' to me, To put it simply, you notified me again, telling me not to mess around... It's better to leave, right?"

"Yes." Kasim nodded, "I can accompany you to leave, so can Laura, and so can Curseblade, but one of the three of us must stay here to handle affairs. If you need, we can also open A big cart, take the scorpion, sparks...all of them, and even let the Sniper Cat go to other towns to replenish and travel. Isn't it a good thing?"

"sounds good."

If it is me who is completely dominated by instinct, maybe I need this sense of stability, right? ... Gwen shook her head slightly:

"I'm not leaving."

He paused.

"The alchemy you mentioned will even have certain effects on immortals, right?"

"Yes." Kasim nodded again expressionlessly.

"So you mean, it's possible that there will be an immortal who secretly came to trouble me? Take this opportunity."

"Yes." Kasim's indifferent expression was calm and concerned, and at the same time, she said, "Gwen, I actually don't care who the mind flayer is, what precepts the mind flayer obeys, whether the mind flayer only kills the guilty …I don't care how this ghost story changes, I don't care if this ghost story becomes more like a human. But I care about you, I want you to be safe, mind flayers are fine, I just want you to be safe, I of the same kind."

It's too heavy, this emotion... Gwen slandered, and then showed a gentle smile:
"Since you think I am your kind, do you think you will leave in this situation?"

"..." Kasim fell silent.

Gwen knocked on the table and smiled:
"But thank you, you are the first person who clearly told me that I might be targeted by minions sent by the immortals. Also, thank you for the noodles, it's delicious."

"Next time, let's eat together."

He waved his hand and disappeared outside.
