Chapter 40 The super strong man behind (two chapters in one, one update today, finished)
Ding Ding Ding Ding.
In the mist at night, more than a dozen dark police carriages and hundreds of policemen in blue uniforms blocked Triangle Street.
The small building was already empty.
Shortly after the special astronomical phenomenon occurred, seven staff members in the Thorn Flower died at the same time. The cause of death was unknown, but there were a large number of spiders crawling out of all the corpses.
The police from the Hall of Misery and the Hall of Order, who are responsible for medical affairs, arrived together and blocked the streets on the grounds of suspected Black Death. Everyone was taken back for medical examination and review.
However, shortly after the blockade, tightly sealed carriages entered the blockade area one after another. Representatives of twelve churches, the regional leaders of four semi-public secret societies, the local governor of the Watchmen, a direct agency of the royal family, and the Rangers of the special department of the Governor's Palace The person in charge and the top executives of various mysterious organizations appeared outside the small building, staring at the small building solemnly.
A particularly bright red moonlight still shrouded the small building. The moonlight had dimmed a lot, but it was still eye-catching and could not be ignored.
In the perception of these people, the bright moonlight still retains the vast and majestic mysterious power. Even after dozens of minutes have passed, it has not completely faded away. What's even more strange is that this force did not destroy any obstacles, but went straight deep into the ground to explode at a fixed point.
"Someone has activated the power of the stars." The chairman of the Archaeological Association, who has level 8 power, is the most powerful person here. The old man took off his unilateral glasses, stroking his long beard and sighed, "This is so powerful, it's like a god descending from the sky." Mr. V, has any legendary powerhouse informed me that he is coming to visit?”
Mr. V, the powerful and powerful fifth-level soul-shifter and the regional leader of the Watchers, lowered his head in this group of people. A student, after hearing this, immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. Chairman Ole, do you think this is the masterpiece of a certain legendary strongman?"
"It can't even be done at the ninth level of power. Legendary strong man, child.”
The district bishop of the Church of the Sun, Harlan, a seventh-level soul-changer with power, was dressed in a priest's robe, and his bald head shone in the moonlight. He drew a circle on his forehead with his fingers in front of the moonlight, which was the greeting gesture of the Church of the Sun to show respect:
"Power is secondary. Anyway, it relies on the power of attracting stars, which is mastered by advanced soul-shifters of level seven or above. The method is barely possible, but if you want to avoid destroying any obstacles along the way, let the power follow the moonlight and explode directly into the cave thirty-four meters underground, violating common sense and hitting the mythical creatures accurately without hurting any of them. Human beings. Such precise control and weird manipulation techniques are unheard of by everyone present. Except for the legendary powerhouse, there is no other possibility, unless it is the true god coming to the world, so I am only worried that this gentleman is hiding it. Identity, what is the purpose?”
“There should be no malice. After all, he helped us clean up a group of mythical creatures that had sneaked into the city. If it weren’t for the other party’s help, you would have had to work harder to clean them up. "Dark Night Archbishop Trinleth was one of the few ordinary people present. Next to him stood a powerful man with level 7 power from the Dark Night Church, but it was he, an ordinary person who spoke, "I heard that there were two The watcher was besieged by the cold spiders below, and suddenly someone sent a beam of light down to clean up all the cold spiders?”
"One is a watchman, and the other is private detective Lynch Leviev, our external consultant who helped the watchmen investigate the massacre in the square." Mr. V explained, "They are still doing a physical examination in the carriage and they need me. Call them in for questioning?”
“That’s not necessary.”
This is a middle-aged man wearing a pointed mage hat and a purple robe, from the secret law seminar. Gurman, president of the Rhine Chapter, has the seventh level of authority. Gurman shook his hat:
"Since the other party obviously has no malicious intent, there are only two possibilities. Either he has some grudge against the Abyss Web Weaver, found out that his descendants were cold spiders, and killed them. The other possibility is that he intentionally wanted to help the two people below. , ask them at this time, it’s okay if you can’t ask. If the young man can’t hide something in his heart, if he really asks something, do you know what you plan to do in the future?”
As soon as this person said this, more than 20 people were present. The big shots nodded, but everyone was still thinking. One of them, a kind-hearted old woman wearing a nun's uniform, coughed for a while and smiled at Mr. V: "What did you call those two children just now?"
Mr. V immediately stood up straight with his hands down, his expression quite respectful. The old woman was Nightingale, the first aid nun of the Church of the Passion. She was only a fifth-level soul-shifter, but she had personally been in and out of many epidemic areas, and her men had saved countless lives. Life, even the district bishop of the Tribulation Church had to obey her orders obediently when he saw her.
"Lynch Levy and Natalie Angel."
"Okay, remember to remind me when you go back." The old woman asked the middle-aged nun beside her, "Strengthen the records of these two people. After a while, it was marked that there was suspected support from a legendary powerhouse. "
Hmm... there was another burst of nodding, and before the nuns could react, other organizations had already begun to issue similar requests one by one. Basically, there is only one guiding ideology. Try to downplay the omen tonight and pretend that nothing happened. As for the two parties involved, they are suspected to have the support of super powerful people behind them. Try not to provoke them as much as possible.
Soon, after everyone had their own thoughts, the gathered big shots dispersed quickly. The unknown legendary powerhouse might still be nearby, so it was best to avoid them as much as possible.
However, the two people who were the focus of attention, who were suspected of being supported by super powerful people, did not know what was happening here. The two had already boarded the police carriage that sent Lynch home, and looked at Lynch together. Play with your own soul.
Actually watching him test his new toy - the alienated soul.
Lynch tested it several times and found that as long as he kept his consciousness inward, a red moon appeared in his mind, and the red mist, symbolizing the hidden divine power, hovered around the red moon in the form of a ball of light, like a satellite.
The shadow of the red moon is your own soul. When your consciousness comes into contact with it, you will feel like looking in a mirror, and you can perceive the state of your soul more clearly.
The moment when consciousness focused on divine power for the first time, countless indescribable and incomprehensible information exploded directly in the depths of consciousness.
Lynch was shocked.
But the red moon of the soul immediately lit up with a crimson light. Under the moonlight, this information gently integrated into the consciousness.
Lin Qi felt confused, as if he understood a lot of strange and extraordinary knowledge, but at the same time he seemed to understand nothing. According to neighbor Luna's explanation, this is normal. With Lynch's current soul strength, it is impossible to understand it too deeply. As his soul becomes stronger, he will slowly understand the meaning of power.
As for now, Lynch at least knows how to use it.
After the alienation was completed, under normal conditions, his physical and mental strength had significantly improved. The previous weak body with malnutrition was probably the limit of bench pressing 30 kilograms, but now Lin Qi estimated that it would not be a problem to push 40 to 50 kilograms, and if he continued to exercise, he could continue to increase his weight.
Not only that, under normal conditions he can use various abilities attached to divine power and some secret techniques that rely on soul energy. Like in Memories of Strange Objects, Officer Natalie led him out of the siege of the Terrorclaws. time, it is the application of this normal state. For the soul-shifters, this is just a simple matter of dealing with the enemy, not even a battle.
And when a certain divine power is activated, as Officer Natalie did last night, after the image of the power is blown up and merged with itself, it will enter an excited state. While the physical strength rises again, the effects of various abilities will also be obvious. Enhancement,
If the soul statue itself explodes and merges into the body, it will enter the final transcendental state and gain all-round strengthening, but once it ends, it will fall into short-term weakness like the police officer did last night In such a state, even the cobwebs cannot be broken free.
But Lin Qi immediately realized that with the only power he had, he actually had no ability at all, it was completely blank.
After asking Officer Natalie, I learned that whether it is the ability of power or the secret method hidden deep in the soul, one must understand it to master it. The secret method is similar to magic. It can be learned by reading various mysterious documents and the experiences of predecessors. Ability is more troublesome. There are many specific ways to understand it, but it can be summed up in one sentence, which is to understand it from mysterious memories through mysterious contact. .
“For ordinary people, mystery is full of fatal dangers, but only by being constantly exposed to mystery can we, the soul-shifters, have the opportunity to become stronger.” Ms. Police Officer He smiled faintly and said, "This is the abnormal fate of the soul-shifters. They are accompanied by mystery every day, until one day they can no longer support it, and are completely swallowed by the mystery, becoming a member of the mystery. So, welcome to the soul-shifters' world. World, Lynch, what are your plans for the future?”
"Me? I plan to continue to open my firm, but change it to an abnormal incident firm."
"Huh? Is there any reason?"
"My current situation is not Optimistic, I must improve my strength as soon as possible. First, I have just offended the Abyss Webweaver. I don’t understand its emotions, but the cultists behind it will definitely not be happy. Second, Lan. The mastermind in the Doyle painting has not yet appeared. Now that I have escaped the sight of the Flicker and tricked it once, the mastermind behind the scenes may very well have other actions. Now I may very well have turned into two evil gods. The goal of the believers must be prepared as soon as possible.”
Lin Qi sighed, there were still some things he couldn't say.
The goal of immortality like a carrot on a stick is too tempting. If he wants to achieve immortality, he must conflict with the evil god. In addition, the acquisition of various abilities requires constant mysterious contact. It is obvious that he More frequent contact with mystery than other soul-shifters.
In his opinion, there is nothing more suitable for him than a private detective who specializes in handling mysterious events. Not only is he free, but he can also have various channels to confront the mysterious, and he can also quickly expand his knowledge of the mysterious. I have connections in the world, I make a lot of money, and I am familiar with this field.
The only flaw is the danger, but precisely because of the danger, it is even more necessary to be exposed to more mysteries to improve your strength.
So he made up his mind and regarded this career as the first step on his path to immortality. Well, at least he had to earn living expenses first.
"Well, indeed, this is the most important thing for you right now." Officer Natalie's face suddenly became a little disappointed, she looked away and said softly, "The subsequent investigation has exceeded the scope of the previously agreed consultant. , there is no need for you to participate. Take care of your own affairs first. If you need help with anything, just go to the club and see me. I won’t affect you for the time being.”
Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, with a half-smiling expression: "I don't want to hide something from you. I promised a person to help him investigate a series of cases related to the massacre in the square, even more in-depth than your investigation. In exchange for Hongyue Memories' life-saving help, although it is no longer in urgent need, the other party gave me a helping hand when I needed it most. As long as the other party did not show any malice, I will try my best to complete this commission. This is mine. Bottom line. And I will also need Hongyue Memories in the future."
Officer Natalie nodded frequently, the disappointment on her face disappeared.
“However, on the first day of the investigation, I had a close contact with the evil god and was connected to a big shot in the city hall. The involvement must be very wide and the danger is very high. I am just a newly alienated person. I'm a rookie who has no skills. I'm scared when I encounter such a dangerous case, so I want to find someone to protect me and join forces to investigate. So, are you willing to help me, Natalie?"
The police officer bit her lip and looked away, with a blush on her face and said: "Let me make it clear first, I have no intention of asking a layman to help, and I don't think you are reliable. But you are right, the subsequent risks will not be small. It will be very dangerous for you to investigate recklessly. In order to protect your life, I can only help even if I am reluctant. Why are you laughing? I will stop you from laughing."
"Pfft. Puff, I really didn't laugh." Lynch had already covered his mouth and was lying in the car, holding back his laughter and stammering, "I'm just wondering if you can't say that without looking away. If it makes sense."
"I'll make you laugh," the police officer didn't hide her blushing face at all. She stepped on Lynch's foot and rolled her eyes angrily. , "If you laugh again, I will still scold you. Tell me honestly. What should we do next?"
"First of all, the information on the confrontation and death cases. The web weaver you described today should hide secrets from people, so as not to set the police station on fire. So there should be some problems behind this. We'd better see it. Those materials may contain some secrets. "
"Secondly, when little Martha said that when she was helping a reporter send photos to her colleagues, the ring was tainted with mystery. I thought of Mrs. Bessie's death in the store. There may be a breakthrough in that Donnie. In short, we can try it from the Investigator first."
"The third one is the Valente family, the mountain people we saw in the afternoon. , The one with the sarcoma is probably the mountain man who peeked at the strange things that Jeremy mentioned. It’s not yet known what role the Valente family plays in it, but this is also a breakthrough.”
"The last thing is the City Hall..."
"The Speaker of the House of Commons does have a very high status. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with it directly." Officer Natalie said with some worry.
“I understand, so I suggest that the people directly related to the Railway Workers’ Union in front of the stage should be dealt with as soon as possible. The speaker should not move, or even ask anything. It is best to report matters related to him. Don’t report it to avoid letting him find out that we know his secret, which will make our investigation easier.”
"Yes, I understand." Officer Natalie looked at Lynch's analysis seriously and nodded lightly.
"Then starting tomorrow morning, we will launch a targeted investigation, starting with the investigator's report."
"Okay, but I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow morning. The one who left just now Victor asked me to tell you that I will come to the club tomorrow and take you to a place to meet some people.”
"Huh? What for? I'm not interested in socializing, I don't want to go."
"A formal award, and I'll take you to meet some high-quality customers in the future." Officer Natalie showed a bright smile, "That's the only one Thirteen shillings, are you going?”
“For the honor of the watchman,” Lynch shouted loyally, “Why don’t you go overnight?”
< br>
The first volume is over. I think the problem solving part of this edition is quite acceptable. I don’t know how everyone feels.
At the beginning of the second volume, Lynch is about to embark on an immortal road full of swindling and cheating, leading a miserable life of cheating and tricking people to make money, eating, sleeping and tricking evil gods. I hope brothers can continue to support me. Thank you all.
Also, please read it, please.
