Tony led the police detectives into the building, and they found that all the residents in the building were dead.
When he found Victor and Ryan Long, his faces were full of disbelief.
"Why are you here?" Tony asked in shock.
According to what he said, when he opened the door, Victor and Rianlong disappeared on the spot, while the others were not affected at all and did not see the so-called turbid things pouring out.
Surprised, Tony ordered investigators to break into the apartment building and search carefully.
However, they did not encounter any resistance, and all the crazy residents in the building died until Tony took people up to the fourth floor and found two elite agents of the Anti-Suppression Department who had disappeared in the center of the room.
…
Half an hour later, the scene was under control, the police withdrew, and the place was completely handed over to the Inspection Bureau.
Tony lifted the handkerchief from Pickman's face, looked at the terrifying face, and suddenly showed an uncomfortable expression.
A detective nearby said that he had found the deceased's eyeballs and a knife. Judging from the scene in the room, Pickman must have dug out his own eyes.
"It's too scary..." Tony said to Victor, who was sitting alone on a wooden stool, the fear in his eyes not dissipating.
Another investigator found some kind of white powder in the room. After identification, it was confirmed that it was contraband - joy nectar.
"This guy, are you getting high with this stuff?" the investigator who discovered the prohibited items joked.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Tony scolded him and told him not to guess.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that what happened today has nothing to do with the honey of joy, it is definitely a disaster caused by invisible magic.
Li Anlong stood in front of the window sill, looking into the distance. He did not join the investigators and did not know what he was thinking.
Tony pulled a wooden stool over and sat next to Victor. He originally wanted to calm him down, but Victor spoke instead.
"I saw that painting, Pickman's painting, which caused everyone in this building to become crazy."
After listening, Tony looked at the blank drawing paper in confusion.
"Where is the painting?"
"What you can't see..." Victor said seriously, "otherwise, you will also be in danger."
"Um..." Tony curled his lips, "Okay, I don't understand, but I know that this situation is usually fatal. I have seen the death of seers who have fatal attacks. It's just very weird. Ordinary people only need to
Don't try mysterious rituals, as it's hard to get a fatal curse."
"That's why I said it was caused by Pickman's painting." Victor turned to look at Tony, "And that painting is the answer to the Hat Master's riddle."
"Oh? What's the answer?" Li Anlong also stepped back from the window and stood in front of Victor.
Victor took a deep breath and explained: "Before coming, didn't we guess that Missy and Glenn were the same person?"
"Yes, maybe it's the art of disguise or something. I heard people say that the Valentan people are good at this art." Rianlong nodded slightly.
Victor shook his head: "It's very close, but they are not one person, but two people, they just share the same body."
Rianlong and Tony frowned at the same time.
Just listen to Victor's explanation: "The meaning of that riddle is not that Missy or Glenn will put on makeup and change their identities, but that only one of them will be awake at the same time and control that body."
"Oh? But does this mean that they are the same person? Maybe... a split personality?" Tony teased.
Victor continued to deny.
"No, there is indeed a difference. In Pickman's painting, there are millions of faces entangled and fused with each other. Yes, the fusion is from the outside in, not the inside out..."
"In other words, what Pickman wants to remind us is that the man and woman in the riddle cannot appear at the same time. They are merged into one, not a split personality."
At this point, Victor suddenly remembered why he felt so clear when he peeked into Missy's dream.
When most people dream, the scenes in their dreams are all strange and bizarre, such as the dream of Gary, the burglar who broke into the house.
Missy's dream seemed to have been specially created by someone. The scenes in it were very clear and had not changed at all, just like being in reality.
So, can Victor draw the conclusion that between Missy and Glenn, one will be awake and the other will be asleep.
When Missy fell asleep, it was actually Glenn who woke up. Unbeknownst to Victor, who was next door, he fell into Missy's dream and was noticed by Glenn. So Glenn simulated a scene in his mind, using
to deceive Victor.
This is why Victor believes that they are actually two people, not one person's split personality or disguise.
Of course, only Victor knew this, and Tony didn't understand the difference. He hurriedly shouted: "Let me confirm it. If you have evidence that Missy is the suspect, or Missy is Glenn, we can do it right away."
Catch her."
It didn't matter whether he understood or not, but Victor suggested that he could go to Agent 13 first and control him.
"Agent No. 13? Are you still doubting him?" Tony showed a puzzled expression, "Didn't the document I gave you last time indicate that the informant he vouched for was not Missy or Glenn?"
"That's right!" Victor smiled, "No. 13 appeared in these incidents and was also suspected, but your intelligence eliminated him..."
"So why do we still allocate manpower to deal with him? He is the foresight of your Anti-Suppression Department. The risk is too great..."
Before Tony could finish his words, he was stopped by Victor.
"But... there is always one crucial point. Agent No. 13 cannot wash it off no matter how hard he washes it."
"What?" Tony was surprised.
Victor held out a finger: "The manuscripts that Glenn shared intelligence with the outside world."
Tony's face changed slightly: "Those messy manuscripts do contain the secrets of the Inspection Bureau and the Anti-Suppression Department, but there is no signature of the sender. Do you recognize the handwriting on them?"
Victor shook his head: "No, it's not the notes, but the way of communication. Have you forgotten? Glenn received the information provided by the other party unilaterally, but he himself has not sent any suspicious letters.
In other words, he cannot reply."
"Can't reply?"
"Yes, I prefer to speculate that he cannot reply, because the sender can deliver the letter to Glenn from any time and anywhere, but Glenn cannot."
Hearing this, Li Anlong looked at the confident Victor meaningfully, and smiled with an unknown meaning as if he had thought of something.
Tony's pupils tightened, as if he had thought of something.
"Messenger, the messenger who secretly transmits the secret of flesh and blood. You may not know that flesh is the sexual shape that Investigator No. 13 studied..."
After Victor finished speaking, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. On it was the riddle left by the Hat Master.
"The crow turns into a lark at night and takes away the man? Or the woman?"
Victor murmured, pointing his right index finger at the last sentence.
"A crow is a lark, and a lark is a snow leopard... A man is not a man, and a woman is not a woman. Together, they are the red card in the clown club - the weird lady."
"Fiers Jason combined animal and human organs to imitate the strange lady's abilities, so her ability is that she can fuse herself with other people."
