Chapter 220 110: Deception
At noon, after finishing the last conversation record, Karl rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the tension and fatigue on the mental level. Generally speaking, it is difficult for him to be so tired, but since he came to Mo After entering the city, he couldn't help but have some random thoughts. It seemed that as long as he relaxed a little, something bad would happen.
I really want to take a sip of vodka to calm my panic.
“Thank you for your cooperation. It’s been a long time since I met a police officer who is not biased against us.”
Yuri, who was sitting across from him, put away the notebook he was recording and handed it to The colleague next to him gave some explanations and then left, leaving only Yuri and Karl in the inquiry room.
Because of his outstanding performance in fighting demons and hearing key intelligence, Carl was invited to the Security Bureau. The conversation has been recorded for two days. Fortunately, it is now over.
".Maybe it has something to do with my experience in serving in the army." Karl's words made Yuri confused for a moment.
He stood up and went to the express coffee machine in the corner. He turned his head and asked curiously: "Is this relevant?"
"The old chief scolds you every day, but you can't see or touch it." It's useless, but the chief can see him every day. In comparison, he seems more hateful."
"Hahaha, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', that's the truth. That's what I say. We have to thank him for his prejudice against us." Yuri smiled and took out a bottle of vodka from the counter and shook it at Karl: "I can't drink for the past two days. It's hard. From now on, I can turn a blind eye. One eye.”
Seeing the wine, Karl subconsciously licked his lips, moved his lips, and still refused: "Coffee is fine. I have to meet a friend later, so it would be better to drink it later."
"This It's not like Officer Karl who said, 'Alcohol makes me more awake.'" Yuri didn't force it, put the vodka back and brought Karl a cup of coffee.
"Next, you have two days of 'vacation', but I heard that you are a workaholic, so you will choose to go back to Surcotov?"
Karl surprised him. Shaking his head: "No, I will stay in Mocheng for these two days. However, I have a question that I don't know if it's convenient for you to ask."
"Since you guessed that I still want to ask if it's not convenient for you to ask, then it must be If you want to know something, just ask and I will answer it according to the situation." Yuri spread his hands and stared at the subtle expression on Karl's face due to his work habits.
"I don't know how far your research on demons has gone, and I don't care where it comes from. With the information I have access to at the moment, I see that demons are 'taking advantage of the opportunity,' and I think it's consistent." There are not many people who are "virtually" defined, and it can even be said that this is a terrifying number."
Speaking of this, Karl took a sip of coffee and glanced at Yuri.
Yuri didn't react at all. He just nodded slightly in agreement and stretched out his hand to indicate for him to continue.
"From a human to a demon, I guess it takes killing and time. If we can have some screening method before they completely become a demon, can we save this person from being corrupted by the demon?"< br>
Karl finished asking and was waiting for the answer.
Yuri was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "What I can tell you is that someone has already implemented these ideas of yours, and it can ensure that important people are not infected."
"The detection method is relatively complicated. , It can’t be popularized, right? I understand.” Karl easily understood the meaning.
"This is your understanding and has nothing to do with me."
After Yuri said this, he patted Karl on the shoulder: "However, you can't change anything by staying in Mocheng alone. Don't worry, leave it to us."
Many people can see that the demon attack is getting closer to Mo City, and Yuri suspects that this is the reason why Karl wants to stay in Mo City.
Karl shook his head and did not explain anything. Since the formalities had been completed, he would not waste the other party's time.
After coming out of the security bureau, it was still cold and windy in Meucheng in February. Karl tightened his clothes, walked out of the main road, took a taxi, and gave his address.
There are not many cars on the street. Special police vehicles can be seen everywhere, and even a few troop carriers can be seen. The tense atmosphere blends with the cold wind, making it look even more chilling.
Karl was silently brewing his emotions in the car, relaxing, looking at himself in the rearview mirror, his eyes dim, not knowing where his thoughts were drifting.
Getting off the car, we entered a slightly dilapidated neighborhood. We walked into it, followed the house number, and knocked on one of the houses.
"Who are you looking for?"
A vigilant female voice asked from inside the room.
“Does Kirill live here?”
“What Kirill? There is no such person here.”
“Sorry to bother you.”< br>
".Wait, I remembered. The previous head of the household was named Kirill. He may have become a homeless man now. You may be able to find his tent near the bridge hole."
".I understand. "
Karl paused, turned and left without changing his expression, looked around, and walked in a more messy direction.
After ten minutes, he found a familiar figure digging through the trash can.
“Kiril.” Karl called.
The man was startled, looked back at Karl, then turned his head, limped and walked away quickly with a creaking sound.
Karl glanced at his prosthetic right leg and chased after him.
The two of them entered an alley in tandem. Kirill, who had inconvenient legs and feet, could not outrun Karl, who had always maintained fitness. He pushed him against the wall and made a splash. , neither light nor heavy.
"Kiril, what are you running for?"
"Damn, what are you chasing after?"
Karl let go of him and looked at him with complicated eyes: "It seems that you are quite used to this broken leg."
"Haha, it's not bad, at least you can run, compared to the one who died. , My current fate is not bad." Kirill took a breath and said in a mocking tone, "Of course, who can compare with you? I heard that you became a police officer in Serkotev."
" Why did you sell your house just to live?”
“Poor”
“Where is your wife?”
"Run away, I ran away a long time ago, who wants to follow a poor and useless man." Kirill laughed at himself.
Karl patted the ashes on his body and asked inexplicably: "You haven't been feeling uncomfortable lately, right?"
"You can't die, but you can barely survive, but you still care My health, for so many years, I thought you had forgotten me.”
“Don’t worry, I will never forget you.” Karl took out a notebook, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote down his address. He gave her the hotel room number and put a few big bills in it, "I'll be here these two days. Also, let's clean up."
After saying that, he didn't give the other party a chance to catch up, and ran away. left.
After taking a taxi again, he went to buy two bottles of wine before returning to the hotel.
After taking a bath, but without drinking any wine, he closed the curtains and turned off the lights. He lay on the bed and watched the news on the TV. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He drifted into sleep and slowly fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I felt a bone-chilling chill.
"Silly sir, he just wants us to die! Otherwise, why would he choose this kind of weather to let us come to this place to complete our training mission! When the blizzard comes, we can't contact the base at all!"
< br>"Hey, hold on! Come on, Carl, this kid Joem is dying, that cave, there is a cave!" "Hell, I can't feel my legs, Carl, you are the only one who still has the power to move now, food Take it, please, and help us find rescue.”
After taking most of the supplies, Karl looked back at the two people shivering in the cave and stepped towards the wind and snow ahead.
The ethereal voice seemed to be blown by the howling storm, becoming clearer and echoing in the ears.
[Look, how unfair this is]
[It’s just that if you slightly offended the commander during training, you will be put in such a dangerous situation]
[Can you accept this kind of sacrifice for no reason? 】
【Can you accept death at the hands of your own people? 】
Karl didn’t respond and continued to walk forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a figure faintly appeared in front of him. It was the officer he “missed” day and night.
"Why is it so slow? You are the only one in your team who hasn't come back yet? Where are the others?" The officer's cold expression suppressed the storm.
“Report, Kirill and the others are still trapped.”
"The trash that can't even walk out will die when they die. If you want to save them, you can." The officer threw a rope, "Just use this rope to drag them out one by one. I will be there." I’ll wait for you here and give you a day.”
Karl looked at the rope on the ground in silence.
“Why, it can’t be done?”
Karl slowly picked up the rope.
【Come on, make your choice】
His expression did not change at all, he exhaled white mist, and walked in front of the officer in two steps. The rope quickly and neatly looped around his neck. He pulled hard with both hands and lifted him up with his back, forming a back-to-back strangulation.
“You——Kagu.”
The struggle behind him changed from violent to calm. After a while, it was completely submerged in the sound of wind and snow.
He dropped the body casually, then turned around and walked into the wind and snow again.
Not long after, he saw the cave.
"Jom, Jom is gone, and I am almost gone too." The weak Kirill murmured.
Karl tried his best to carry him on his back, and disappeared into the white snow step by step.
The picture in front of him gradually gathered into a sheet of snow-white, and banging sounds continued to come from the outside world.
When I woke up, my heart was beating violently, my breathing was rapid, and my forehead was covered with sweat.
Looking sideways at the door, there were constant knocks on the door. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. He had probably slept for three or four hours.
Sitting on the bed, he recalled the scene in his dream. He looked at his hands, took off his watch, and gently twisted the metal strap, as easily as twisting a tape measure.
He put away his watch and turned on the light without too much experimentation. Without looking at the peephole, he opened the door directly. As expected, the person outside the door was none other than Kirill.
At this time, he looked anxious and looked at Karl nervously.
"Karl, listen to me -"
"Come in and talk about it." Karl interrupted, pointing inside.
Kirill nodded and walked in quickly, and Karl closed the door behind him.
"Huh, the situation is urgent. I have to tell you. When I just came to find you, I saw people from the Security Bureau downstairs and heard your name. The leader was named Yuri, and he was a bald man. , I suspect they are going to do something bad to you, run away before it's too late!" Kirill said hurriedly as he walked into the room.
"Oh, I know him, probably just for official business." Karl opened a bottle of vodka and looked at Kirill with nostalgia.
"You're not. When I hear words like arrest and suspicion, it's definitely not a good thing! Don't you still know the true face of these people?! You still have time now, I can help you drag it away I don't think they would be interested in a cripple anyway." Carl's reaction was a bit beyond Kirill's expectations. His face was ferocious and his voice was angry.
Karl gently sprinkled the vodka on the ground, leaving a water mark, right in front of Kirill: ". Anyway, thank you for letting me see Kirill again."
The face of Kirill in front of him changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with incredulity.
As Karl raised his head and drank in one gulp, Kirill in front of him changed rapidly. His clothes, flesh and bones seemed to be blown by the strong wind. He struggled, roared and stretched out his hand, but he couldn't resist. The layers faded away, and finally turned into invisible powder, leaving nothing behind.
“I can finally sober up for a while.” Karl, who had been abstaining from alcohol for a few days, sighed happily after taking a sip of half a bottle of spirits.
【Are you lying to me? Have you been lying to me from beginning to end? ! Impossible, how could someone be able to deceive even themselves! This is unreasonable! 】
【And how did you discover me? I've obviously been waiting for your flaw. Did you expose it on purpose? ! 】
Karl leaned comfortably by the window, drinking and answering: "It's just self-deception. I'm very good at it. However, it turns out that this is the so-called devil's trick. It is much weaker than I thought."
After saying that, he raised his head and took another sip of wine.
"If you really want to see it, as a reward, let me show you the real memory."
After saying that, Karl began to take the initiative to recall the dusty old things, Throwing it all towards the surface memory.
"If Kirill was still alive, would I have not contacted him for so long and made his life so embarrassing? And at the beginning, he injured his left leg, and he did not have a wife, Really, you are so useless, you can’t pay attention to any details. It seems that as long as I give my brain a random explanation, you will believe it without reservation. It is simply easier to deceive than Eve.”
God has witnessed that the devil has become warm and has even broken through his defenses.
【Kill you! I'm going to kill you! 】
【You damn bastard, no one dares to fool the devil like this, and no one can fool you! 】
Everything in front of me seemed to be distorted. Monster-like evil things appeared one after another. The eyes were not eyes, the mouth was not a mouth. The room was covered with a sticky carpet of bacteria. The forked tentacles were dancing, and each pale and slender hand rested on Karl.
He didn't care about such a hellish scene. He just lay down comfortably and playfully with his eyes squinted, watching the weirdness getting closer and closer. He took another sip of strong wine into his throat, and everything disappeared in an instant.
After burping, Karl looked a little serious: "To be honest, maybe you can try using beauty. I probably have no resistance to this. I like blond hair with big waves, and you know it."
[Bitch! 】
The devil's voice was still angry, but it was much weaker. It was obvious that the super hallucination just now consumed a lot of his strength. Unfortunately, he underestimated the effect of alcohol on Karl.
“I can’t afford your praise, but no matter what, I have to thank you for your strength.”
Karl slowly crushed the finished wine bottle into powder and patted it On his left shoulder, he could feel that the little devil was inside, unable to rage.
He originally just wanted to deceive a flat A, but he didn't expect that the devil had already surrendered his ultimate move, and he didn't expect that if the power was given out, the devil would not be able to take it back.
"Man, you really look like an innocent little c-boy."
