The heavy eyes were finally opened, and Victor woke up in the dark jungle with the flickering oil lamp, gasping for breath.
His stomach was churning, his throat was full of nausea, and he couldn't help but spit out the filth in his belly.
The cold air was sucked into my lungs, and the rain had stopped.
The light illuminated the investigators lying on their backs. Some of them were snoring and sleeping very soundly. Over there, someone had woken up before Victor.
"Hey...isn't your reaction a little too intense?"
Hearing the sound, Victor looked over cautiously and found that it was the frivolous-looking Mr. No. 13.
"What's wrong?" Victor struggled to get up and calmed down his nervous mood.
"Sullivan ran away..." No. 13 simply explained to Victor what he saw first after waking up. "It should be some kind of spell that can hypnotize people, and we all fell asleep."
A spell to hypnotize people?
Victor thought about this sentence and shook his head slightly.
This is not a spell to hypnotize people. Victor saw with his own eyes the existence named "The Crimson King"...
However, after listening to the words spoken by No. 13, coupled with the mysterious man's speech in the secret residence, Victor couldn't help but speculate that perhaps the others were really hypnotized, and he was the only one who entered the "Crimson King".
territory.
What a terrible experience...
Victor didn't want to experience it a second time.
"How did that guy escape?" he asked No. 13.
"I don't know. After I woke up, Sullivan disappeared." The other party replied calmly.
Victor once again recalled everything that happened in the dark ancient building. The dark figure sitting at the stone round table at that time was without exception Sullivan.
Obviously he summoned the mysterious man and made everyone fall asleep, and then he could take the opportunity to escape.
It's not a hypnotic spell at all, but a summoning spell...
…
"Ahem..."
The bald Gan also woke up. After he coughed twice, he found that the black net had been broken and the prisoner had lost his trace. He couldn't help but look shocked.
Then, he yelled at No. 13: "Elrod, why don't you wake us up?"
No. 13 frowned when he heard Gan call out his real name.
"We are performing tasks as agents of the Ministry of Defense and Suppression. You have to reveal your identity and name yourself. You have no right to call out my name to outsiders."
Upon hearing this, Victor glanced at No. 13 and immediately understood that the outsider in the other person's mouth was probably him.
The rules of the Anti-Suppression Department are that when you join the company, you fill in your personal information in the "Roster of Heroic Spirits" and receive a code name. Only the director has the authority to check each agent's job and abilities. Agents generally do not expose their personal information rashly.
Sexual appearance, abilities and personal information are all referred to by code names.
As for why he did this, Victor roughly understood it after successfully converting the secret transmission of the dream sex phase. It was to prevent some agents from killing each other in order to synthesize and convert high-level secret transmissions.
But to be honest, this system is not very effective. First of all, the minister only has the real information of the agents, and has no ability to restrict the actions of the agents, and I don’t know how they consider it.
All in all, the system of the Department of Defense and Suppression has very big loopholes, which will definitely give opportunities to all kinds of seers with ulterior motives, such as Victor, who only uses the Department of Defense and Suppression as his shield and intelligence.'
Cash machines', what they like is the unpredictable and massive database.
Realizing that No. 13 was angry, Gan changed his serious and tough attitude when facing Sullivan and teased: "Elrod Jean, you are a famous singer. You are known as the 'Snow Leopard' in Mangao Garden.
, the theater posters I participated in have almost covered the entire Renekton. Is there any need to conceal my identity? You can tell who it is just by asking around, don’t you? Mr. No. 99.”
Gan obtained the mission information from the minister, and of course he also learned Victor's code name from the minister.
As for his relationship with No. 13 Elrod, the two have obviously known each other for a long time.
Elold snorted and said nothing. Gan continued to say to Victor: "Now that our identities are known to you, can you also be honest with us?"
Victor chuckled and decisively refused.
Direct answer: I didn’t take the initiative to ask. You leaked the information yourself. Why should I follow your suggestion to exchange information?
Gan was speechless for a moment, probably cursing in his mind why he met such a shameless guy.
At this time, the sleeping agents also woke up one after another. As expected, they were not trapped in a cyclical dream, but simply fell asleep.
On the other side, Henry, who was waiting for support outside, also came over with three agents, and behind him were those from the Berkeley family.
The initial plan was for Henry to leave a few agents on Henry's side and join forces with the Berkeley family's mercenaries to guard the other road to prevent Sullivan from breaking through Victor's encirclement.
However, Sullivan obviously did not escape from there, and Henry fired and called the police without getting any feedback from Victor, so he called his superiors over to check, only to find that the operation failed.
There are a total of fourteen agents from the Inspection Bureau this time, excluding the three elite agents from the Anti-Suppression Department, which can be regarded as all the subordinates Henry can mobilize.
Ten of the agents were assigned to Victor to cooperate with the operation. In that shack, they were affected by Sullivan's invisible magic. Six of them were infected, five had hallucinations, and one fell into a coma, showing signs of trance.
Fortunately, Gan was at the scene. He pointed out that the comatose detective was not entranced. He immediately used the "Saint's" secret transmission ability to suppress the other party's out-of-control delusions and rescued him from the edge of entrance.
.
"He fell into a coma for a short time, and the desire to be amplified did not cause the spiritual body to grow and wriggle protoplasm. If it had been a few hours later, he would have really become obsessed."
Gan gave a brief explanation, and then Henry asked Victor about the whereabouts of the suspect, and the two parties began to exchange information.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, everyone had to confirm that Sullivan had indeed escaped this manhunt, and the operation could be said to have failed.
Gan shook his head, looking a little frustrated: "If I can bring him back to the temple for trial, there is a high probability that the three secret transmissions in him will become my reward. What a pity..."
Victor found the breaking order in his hand and inquired about the function of this thing.
Gan was very honest and had nothing to hide, saying: "This is also an awakening-level relic, and its name is the Order of Breaking the Commandments. It was made by the high-ranking people in the temple and is an extraordinary tool that specifically controls believers to observe the commandments. One of its functions is
It’s to limit the backlash of the Ring Keepers from getting out of control.”
In this world, secret transmission is not the only way to express invisible arts, there are also three types: relics, rituals, and magic potions.
When Victor was investigating the "delusional mutilated limbs", he had already found out from the information room of the Anti-Suppression Department that the relics were actually classified into different levels.
The most common relic, which is no less than a secret transmission ability, is called "Awakening Level".
Such relics generally appear after the Second Age, and most of them are man-made, which means they are not too old, within one or two thousand years.
Then there was the Second Age before the Human Era, which was the First Age in which the legendary "demigods" existed. It was found that the relics born in or before that era were called "mythical level".
Mythical-level relics are extremely rare items in this world, and are much rarer than awakening-level items. However, mythical-level items are not necessarily stronger than awakening-level items. The difference between the two sides is only the age.
Then, there are actually older relics, but the information Victor looked up was too concise and left the third category of relics blank. It just said that they existed, but there was no introduction.
Since we were talking about relics, Victor couldn't help but become interested in the severed finger on Sullivan's hand.
Since that thing can block divination, if Victor gets it, won't he be more confident in hiding his location from being discovered by the immortals?
