Chapter 358: The Flame in Silence (Da Zhang Pursuit Monthly Pass)
However, there is someone faster than that black shadow.
The red sword light flashed past.
Before Jon could react, bright red blood splashed across his face.
His whole body froze on the spot, and his mind went blank.
And He Ao had already stepped forward, using the sword in his hand to turn over the body of the black figure just now.
This is a humanoid monster with torn clothes and red body. His corpse is decaying rapidly.
The light from the bracelet shone on the monster's remaining face, which overlapped with a certain character in He Ao's memory.
The owner of the craft store who sold Nell the old sword.
Soon, the corpse was completely decayed, leaving only a little red light that penetrated He Ao's sword body.
These minions are all made of 'human beings'.
He Ao looked at the unconscious people on the ground.
The monster knocking on the door that we just met in the corridor seemed to have obtained items related to gods from the crafts boss.
After it degenerated into a monster, it found the craft shop, kidnapped the boss, and took away the remaining items related to the gods.
This is why craft shops are closed.
But when He Ao went there today, the products in the store were neatly arranged and the door was locked well.
If a fight breaks out in the store and the goods are taken away, it will definitely be chaos, and the boss will not have the thought to lock the door when he is being chased.
Unless someone returned to the craft store after the boss was kidnapped and the goods were plundered, sorted out the goods, and locked the door, thereby reducing the possibility of the store being suspected.
Then the killing of this boss was not the revenge of a crazy monster, but a planned 'silence'.
Although this monster has some rationality, it is not completely rational and does not even have obvious logic.
It doesn't necessarily mean 'revenge'.
Unless someone guides its thinking.
He Ao shifted his gaze to the items that were mostly cut open.
The monster took out the power related to the gods and injected it into the handicraft shop owner. After the gods devoured the owner's soul, he made his body into a 'minion'.
These people who are still alive are probably also the materials for making 'minions'.
The souls of people will dissipate immediately after death. In order to ensure that the gods get the most complete souls, these people must live and be restrained by nightmares.
This complex operation may not necessarily be understood by the monster itself, there may also be traces of 'guidance' in it.
In fact, He Ao walked in just to see if the monster had hidden any dangerous contaminants, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
Although the man behind the scenes silenced the boss, He Ao also obtained some information about the man behind the scenes, such as being able to 'guide' the monster's thinking.
Moreover, if a chess piece is used well and suddenly wants to be silenced, there are only two possibilities. One is that it is exposed and has to be silenced, and the other is that the plan is about to be completed and the chess piece is no longer useful and is disposed of.
Judging from the surprised state of the FBI agents when they saw the crazy monster, Ho Ao was more inclined to the second option.
These people's plans have reached the final step, so some of the marginal chess pieces are no longer useful and can be disposed of.
He Ao split the remaining intact items with a sword, absorbing all the power inside into the sword.
Then he turned on his super memory and looked at the sleeping people on the ground.
As he expected, the shadows of these people's souls were covered with a twisted layer of red light.
He Ao carefully observed these red lights. They seemed to come directly from the gods, and the twisted whispers soaked into the spirits of these people, pulling them into nightmares.
He Ao tried it, concentrated his energy, used the power of super memory, tried again and again, and finally shattered these red lights.
The furrowed brows of those who were sleeping slowly relaxed.
He Ao turned off the super memory, and the nightmare was easy to dispel, but the pollution that soaked into the soul was not so easy to solve.
But this isn't He Ao's business anymore.
By crushing these red lights, He Ao has further mastered the ability of super memory to interfere with the soul, and his proficiency continues to increase.
At first, he could only use this ability to directly hit the opponent's soul, causing the opponent to fall into a temporary freeze and create a mental interference effect.
Later, he could use this ability to drive away the resentful spirits attached to Liu Nan.
Now he can use this ability to defeat the weak interference of divine power.
His operations are becoming more and more subtle.
He Ao felt that he was close to fully mastering the power of D-level super memory.
Chaoyi has not been promoted for a long time.
"Quick, the blood stains extend all the way inside."
At this moment, some lights seemed to appear in the distance.
The voice that spoke was one of the FBI agents who had just surrounded Ho.
"coming."
He Ao turned off the flashlight on his wristband, pulled Yon, who was still a little confused, and jumped onto the wall behind him, and climbed over directly.
In fact, it is difficult for local forces to control the FBI.
The FBI is a violent agency directly under the federal central government. In order to prevent the FBI from being controlled by local forces, the federal central government has set up many provisions to prevent local powers from becoming stronger.
For example, at least one-third of the FBI agents in each region must be transferred from other cities.
Ender, who was born and raised in Kaya City, was transferred to Chenxi City to work. Selina does not seem to be a native of Chenxi City.
This is to prevent the lower levels from being controlled by local forces, resulting in a monolithic behavior that ignores leadership.
Of course, as compensation for these agents leaving their hometowns, the FBI's treatment was not bad. Ender, who had just graduated, had a weekly salary of 800 federal dollars and purchased the best medical insurance.
Most FBI agents receive both mental and physical training from headquarters before taking up their duties.
At the upper level, basically all FBI branch directors serve in other places. They serve a four-year term and can be re-elected for one term at most. If they are not promoted at the end of their term, they will be transferred to other cities to serve.
That's why Ho was so surprised when he first learned that the FBI had been infiltrated.
However, he felt that no matter how powerful the other party was, they would not be able to infiltrate the entire FBI. There was a high probability that they would control some of the middle and high-level officials who had been in the local area for a long time.
It can be seen from the fact that the people who intercepted and killed Ho were from gangs and not the FBI. They did not fully understand the FBI and did not dare to use the FBI to kill people.
So far, the FBI has issued a reward for Ho Ao, which is said to be a wanted warrant for Ho Ao, but the nature of the document is a "reward to find important witnesses," rather than a warrant for the arrest of a criminal.
Of course, all publicity and news say this is a wanted person.
However, the operating regulations of the FBI are that all arrest warrants issued need to be reported to the FBI headquarters, with detailed case materials attached, so that they can be assigned to wanted persons throughout the federation.
This rule is to facilitate the arrest of criminals who have fled to other cities, and to restore local power to the central government.
To go through this process, you need to provide detailed case materials, a complete investigation, and an arrest warrant signed by the Federal District Court.
Even if the deputy director is killed, the process of such a case will take ten days and a half, and such a case will also attract an investigation team from Irons, the capital.
This case cannot withstand scrutiny.
So the FBI officials who were controlled simply didn't dare file a warrant.
And this is Heao's opportunity.
No matter what, the FBI in Rock City is just a subordinate agency and will be subject to supervision and coercion from the federal center.
So Howe did not kill the monster immediately, but led the monster to the FBI encirclement, exposing it to the sight of all FBI agents.
They can deceive the lower-level detectives that He Ao is a heinous murderer, because He Ao's case is indeed secretive and few people know about it, so they can manipulate the facts.
But the real monster is something everyone has seen.
The FBI's internal surveillance agency also has spies at the bottom.
After tonight, there is a high probability that information about monsters in Rock City will reach FBI headquarters.
The FBI may not deal with the consortium, but it is their responsibility to exterminate alien beasts and cultists.
Judging from the training Ender received, the FBI hasn't completely deteriorated yet.
It would be too difficult for Ho alone to find these crazy monsters scattered all over the city, but with the FBI, it's different.
Getting rid of these crazy monsters will also help He Ao complete the main mission.
Therefore, even if the FBI headquarters does not launch an investigation into the Rock City branch in the end and lift Ho's "wanted" order, most of the Rock City FBI's forces will be involved in exterminating the crazy monster.
Then there will be one less obstacle standing in front of He Ao, and it will become his help instead.
Of course, the people or consortium behind the scenes may also block the news so that it cannot reach the FBI headquarters.
But it doesn't matter, He Ao has already contacted Eve again on the way here, and recorded the appearance of the monster and the FBI agents present with his bracelet.
Now these videos have been circulating on the Internet.
The more people know, the greater the pressure on the FBI will be from the social level, and they will inevitably intervene.
After all, there are FBI agents in the video. If you don’t know, don’t do something, and if you know, don’t do something, there are two different concepts.
In fact, the appearance of this monster was just an accident. He Ao did not expect to meet such a monster at the door of Jon's house.
He Ao originally planned to find a monster alone for the FBI to bump into, but he didn't expect to find Yorn and happened upon it, so he used it directly.
Moreover, this monster is strong enough, and there are enough FBI agents on the scene.
He Ao dragged Yorn forward and soon left the original area. At this time, he finally had time to look at Yorn, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
If Yon made an inverted 'v' and came to him, there must be something going on.
Yon was stunned. He finally came back to his senses from the exciting battle just now. Memories came to his mind. He took a deep breath and said softly, "My grandma was arrested by a gang."
He looked at He Ao's eyes, hesitated, and finally said softly, "They forced me to lure you out, or they would kill my grandma, but they didn't know that our symbol was an appointment to meet at a restaurant. I told them you would come to find me."
I asked them to stay at home.
When you go to the restaurant and find that I am not there, you should know that it is a trap. Although I, John, have no abilities, I will not betray my friends. I will save my own relatives myself."
Having said this, he paused and suddenly realized something. He looked at He Ao with wide eyes, "Why didn't you go to the restaurant?"
"I got it."
He Ao shrugged and took out a piece of paper to wipe the blood on his cheek.
There are only so many plans that Jon can think of in his mind, and there are only so many things that he may encounter. It is not difficult to guess the truth.
"Ah? Is my plan so easy to guess?"
John was stunned.
"Perhaps you should reflect on why you are always caught stealing food."
He Ao smiled. Yorn was caught stealing food from the VIP table and was beaten.
"It was an accident, you know."
Yon's face suddenly turned red and he began to mutter to himself, "I did it on purpose. I have long been unhappy with those people. I just want to provoke them. This is the behavior of a warrior. I am provoking, not stealing. You
I don’t understand…”
He Ao smiled.
John and Nell were always at each other's throats when they met each other.
It's just that before, it was Yon who was bragging, and Nell listened, and Yon was the dominant one, but now it's Ho O who is the dominant one.
"Let's go."
He Ao turned around and walked into the darkness.
"where to?"
John was stunned.
"Go and save your grandma," He Ao said calmly, "She was captured by the Ice Wolf Gang, right?"
"It's very dangerous there," Yon said, following He Ao, "You let me think of a plan, I don't want to drag you into a dangerous situation."
"It's really dangerous to follow your plan."
"Who do you look down on?"
"you."
"I must think of a perfect solution to make you look at me differently."
"A surefire way to get beaten up for stealing food?"
"I told you it was provocation, not stealing!"
"Do you still have the Ice Wolf Gang's contact information?"
"Yes, we're going to kill him right away. I have to delete it."
"What are you deleting? 200,000 yuan. Others are rushing to give you money. Why don't you want it?"
"ah?"
The two of them walked farther and farther into the night.
After walking for who knows how long, Yon suddenly whispered, "Nel, I feel like you are a little different."
He Ao made a move and said, "What's different?"
Yon scratched his head and said, "I don't know what's different. You seem to be more confident?"
He thought for a moment and then said, "I feel that there is a fire in your heart, a burning fire. I should probably persuade you, but it seems that if what happened to you happened to me, I would also like to kill their whole family.
.
Just like if the Ice Wolf Gang really killed my grandma, I would have to drag a few backers to my death."
"You haven't considered selling me?"
He Ao smiled.
"I'm not stupid," Jon spat.
"Is it possible that after selling you, they will really let my grandma go? Will they really give me money? I am valuable because I am your friend, not because I am valuable. After all, in their eyes, we people
It's just a shameful life, just kill it.
If you really die, my grandma and I will be next, so I have already made preparations. Kill one without losing anything, and kill two with blood.
God is fair. Everyone has only one life. My humble life is exchanged for the lives of those big shots. It’s all a matter of blood. I haven’t done anything yet. I’m just studying how to make a good deal."
He Ao looked at Yorn. The fire in this young man's eyes was no less than his. Today, when he saw the terrifying monster, Yon's performance was not bad. He was just a little scared, but he always followed He Ao's rhythm.
John's parents were both miners and died when John was very young.
The cause of death was the same as Nell's father, a stampede in the mine.
In Rock City, there are many people like Jon and Nell, and the blazing fire in their eyes is covered in silent silence.
