The smiles of the thousand-faced people are getting brighter and brighter.
Then he was slapped and flew several meters away.
What the Man with a Thousand Faces said is absolutely correct.
His words revealed Ai Liang's true face and revealed the fear deep in Ai Liang's heart.
After five years of killing, Ai Liang's personality gradually changed, and the kind-hearted young man in his previous life was slowly disappearing.
Ai Liang, who used to be moved to tears by a heartwarming story, began to become cold-blooded and numb.
Having just retired five years ago, even if he saw the victims of criminal organizations and various tragedies on the news, he would at most lament in his heart that things are impermanent, and soon forget about them.
You see too much and hear too much, and over time you become numb.
If the change in personality only makes him uneasy, the shaking of his bottom line is the source of his fear.
Only the most evil people are killed.
This is Ai Liang's bottom line, and this bottom line is beginning to waver now.
When he deduced that Xu Zhihai was the real culprit in Gao Jiajia's murder, Ai Liang's first reaction was to kill him and slit his throat.
The key is that I didn't notice anything was wrong at the time.
If today he changes his hunting target from extremely evil people to ordinary murderers, then the next time he will expand it to people who have committed serious crimes, and the next time it will be all criminals.
As long as the bottom line is broken once, it will be broken a second time. The third time, when will Ai Liang's bottom line completely disappear and turn into a character who will directly kill the person who makes him unhappy? No one can say for sure.
He is a person with super powers, and his actions are absolutely secretive and unstoppable. No one can discover that he is the real murderer, and no one can stand up to punish him.
By that time, Ai Liang will truly become a demon walking in the world.
This future has always been the future that Ai Liang has been afraid of.
The silent changes in his personality, and his bottom line began to waver, all of which frightened Ai Liang. He gradually became a stranger he was very familiar with: the hermit.
When he debuted, he put on a mask called the Hermit. Now Ai Liang, who represents humanity, is disappearing little by little, and the mask that represents the Hermit is gradually replacing him.
If a person wears a mask for a long time and looks the same when alone and another in front of others, he will eventually become confused about who he really is.
After all, Ai Liang is just a young man who awakened his super powers.
In his previous life, his parents died young, and he worked and studied all by himself. In this life, he had no worries about food and clothing, but he never received any love from anyone. It is reasonable for him to have such a contradictory mentality.
If it were someone else, he would have been self-inflated and committed a crime a long time ago, and he would not be able to exercise self-restraint.
Although superpowers can bring unparalleled strength, they cannot make a person's mind strong and his will invincible.
Fortunately, Ai Liang cleared up all the negative emotions not long ago. Now he can feel the warmth and warmth of human relationships and start a new life like a normal person.
That's why his emotions were aroused by the Thousand-Faced Man.
"It's really a rude way to refuse."
The Thousand-Faced Man rubbed his face and got up from the ground without being angry, as if he had just been scratched by his cat master.
"Speaking of which, where is the cold murderous intent in you? The last time I saw you five years ago, you were as cold as ice. Why are you now?"
This guy has been secretly monitoring himself and can detect changes in his emotions.
Ai Liang stared at him with a fierce look on his face, and his expression became even more sinister.
We must not go back to the same path as we did ten years ago!
Ai Liang warned herself from the bottom of her heart that this was the first step in a new life, and she must not make any mistakes.
He has been unlocking his abilities since he entered the door, but this is the first time he has unlocked them, and he is not very proficient in using them yet.
If he wasn't worried that the bullshit organization behind Thousand Faces Man would continue to pester him, Ai Liang would have beaten Thousand Faces Man to death long ago.
At this time, Gao Bin next to him suddenly screamed.
"Don't be so impatient and listen patiently to what I have to say." The Thousand-faced Man returned to Gao Bin step by step. It was obvious that he had done something to Gao Bin. "Since you don't appreciate the benefits of joining us, let's discuss it.
Let’s talk about the disadvantages of your refusal.”
"Well, let's start with spreading rumors about you." Thousand-faced Man put his hand on his chin as if thinking, "I originally planned to disguise myself as a hermit, and then directly kill Yue Chongshan, an influential figure, to take the opportunity to force you out.
, but in the process of implementation, I found a better goal."
The Thousand-Faced Man put his hand on Gao Bin's heart.
"Threaten me with his life? Do you think I care about his life or death?"
Ai Liang stopped what he was doing and stood up again.
"No, you will care. After listening to what I have to say, you will definitely care." The man with a thousand faces said decisively with a strange smile.
"In the final analysis, Yue Chongshan is just an ordinary person. His influence is far less influential than Police Officer Gao, a member of the Asian Federation Countermeasures Bureau."
"You can think of this countermeasure bureau as the secret department in the movie. There is no difference anyway."
"You contacted the official anonymously just to hide your true identity, but now." The Thousand-Faced Man pinched Gao Bin's face and forced his head to turn towards Ai Liang.
"Now, whether you are an apostle or my invitation to join the Apostles, all have been witnessed by senior police officers. As a throat-cutting madman who has killed so many people, do you think they will accept you or imprison you?
In a dark laboratory?"
Ai Liang's face began to look ugly.
At this moment, Thousand Faces Man's purpose of keeping Gao Bin alive finally came to light.
"Don't worry, I won't kill the police officer. Instead, I will try my best to ensure that he lives. In this way, the information about you can be accurately conveyed to the Countermeasures Bureau. After all, they won't believe what I say."
The Thousand-Faced Man continued with a smile: "However, I can hand him over to you. As long as you kill him, I will help you pretend that it was me who did it, so that you can continue to hide yourself,
Just think of it as you owe me a favor."
"What do you think, do you choose to kill the police officer, or let him go? No matter what choice you make, I support it."
The Man with Thousand Faces forced Ai Liang to a dead end.
Gao Bin also understood at this moment that the reason why he survived was because the Thousand Faces Man wanted him to be a bargaining chip to persecute the Hermit.
He tried hard to open his mouth, but no words came out.
As the Man with a Thousand Faces said, beings like apostles are rare in the world, and the countermeasures bureau will definitely list the hermit as a key target for hunting.
What's more, the Hermit is a throat-slitting maniac in the black zone of Nevada City, and the Countermeasures Bureau has no reason to allow such a dangerous element to wander in society.
This is a conspiracy.
No matter which path the hermit chooses, there will be no good end. One is that the information falls into the hands of the Thousand Faces Man, and the other is that he becomes a key target of the Countermeasures Bureau. There is not much difference in the outcome.
After thinking about this, Gao Bin could only close his eyes in despair.
"Time is running out. The Rangers will come to finish the job soon. By then, you won't even have the chance to choose. Uh-huh."
The Thousand-Faced Man suddenly covered his neck and blood spurted out from between his fingers.
He turned around unsteadily, and the scalpel opened another wound.
The one holding the scalpel was Gao Bin. He was holding the gurney with his left hand and the scalpel that was still dripping with blood in his right hand.
"How could it be possible? You obviously..." Thousand-faced Man murmured in a low voice.
The blood gushes out of the arteries freely, and then he suddenly notices Gao Bin's face.
The face's eyes were dull and expressionless.
"So that's it, hahaha. I always thought your ability was stealth, and the weird abilities are indeed all kinds of weird. Go to the first room on the second floor. There is a filing cabinet. There is a small gift in it."
The Thousand-Faced Man seemed to have some unfinished words. With his throat cut, he could only leave key messages intermittently before completely losing all signs of life and dying.
However, Ai Liang knew that the Thousand-Faced Man himself was definitely not dead, and it was Xu Zhihai who died. From the conversation, we could know that Xu Zhihai was just one of his bodies.
"I don't like forced choices. I will create a satisfactory choice myself."
Ai Liang directly used mental manipulation to control Gao Bin's consciousness, and telekinesis assisted his actions.
Then he implanted an adrenaline burst into his brain to kill Xu Zhihai, and deleted all memories of his conversations with the Thousand-Faced Man.
This is the first time Ai Liang takes the initiative to control and modify other people's minds and memories.
He didn't know if this would be like opening Pandora's box, accelerating his own fall, but he had to do it now.
He has already been targeted by the Apostle Society. If Gao Bin finds himself in another situation, his future life will probably become a mess.
The farce is over.
Lying in the warehouse were the six completely dead Xu Zhihai, the half-dead Gao Bin and the masked man, and Wang Dafu, who fainted as soon as Ai Liang entered the door.
Ai Liang looked around the warehouse. He was going to go to the second floor to see what the little gift Thousand Faces Man was talking about was.
If there is any information about the hermit inside, it would be terrible if they were all taken away by the Rangers.
