In the night, the muscle car belonging to Edmund was driving slowly on the streets of Angcheng.
Esther, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Jason behind him through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Until now, he didn't understand the meaning of Jason's words just now.
What does it mean that the eyes are confused and the taste does not change?
You can't smell it through your nose, right?
Even a hound cannot locate a certain scent in a big city like Angcheng!
What's more, the members of the 'Faceless Man' legion must have received the most rigorous training, and this kind of smell-masking matter is a compulsory course. Therefore, it is impossible for the previous 'Faceless Man' to leave any clues about the smell.
.
It is simply impossible in Esther's opinion to find more 'faceless men' through the other party.
However, when Aster faced Jason's order, he had no objection.
He wants to live to be a hundred years old, how could he oppose Jason's order?
Moreover, he still had some vague expectations.
Looking forward to Jason really finding the other members of the ‘Faceless Men’ Legion.
Then, use this as an opportunity to disrupt the layout of those big shots.
Compared to Aster's many mental activities, Edmon was concentrating on driving.
He didn't think that much.
He is now thinking about whether to expand the two 'safe passages' again. More and more relevant people are showing up, and his previous layout is not enough.
Victory often seems within reach, but failure always follows.
Edmund knew this truth deeply.
Therefore, he must be prepared to 'retreat'.
If something goes wrong, he will run away with everyone.
only……
"It's so difficult!"
Edmund sighed silently.
Involuntarily, he also raised his head and glanced at Jason in the back row.
At this time, Jason's left knee was resting on his right knee, with his back leaning against the seat. His whole body was in a very relaxed posture, and in his hand was a small obsidian dagger.
Based on his observations, Edmon could confirm that it was made of obsidian.
It looks very rough, but the corners have been carefully polished, and there is no time to accumulate the unique smell.
"Imitation?"
Edmon guessed.
Then, at this moment, Jason raised his head.
"Turn left."
Jason said calmly.
"yes."
Edmond nodded immediately.
Jason lowered his head again and continued to play with the obsidian dagger in his hand while continuing to smell the 'smell'.
The 'Faceless Men' legion of the 'Temple' will naturally hide their own smell, but the 'food' they carry with them will not!
This obsidian dagger was a trophy found from the previous 'Faceless Man'.
Naturally, everyone who has come into contact with this 'faceless man' will be contaminated with this smell to a greater or lesser extent.
Although it was impossible to trace the people who had come into contact with the 'faceless man' directly at the entrance of the fighting gym based on the smell, Jason was still confident as long as they were within a general range.
And this?
It's not difficult.
Think about how the Faceless Men fight.
Complete disguise, lurking, and assassination.
Similarly, Jason can be sure that these 'faceless men' will definitely spy on intelligence.
So what kind of person would be the best candidate to spy on intelligence?
A person who has a certain social status and can receive preferential treatment on any occasion, but is basically not suspected by the public!
Teachers, doctors, police, reporters, etc. are all in this category.
Among them, the identity of a reporter is the most convenient.
They are the only ones who can go to various special occasions and come into contact with certain people without being suspected.
Although they will be investigated at all levels and are the end of the search, relying on the ability of the 'faceless man', it is not difficult to deal with such a situation.
Therefore, the first place Jason chose to search was the TV station in Angcheng.
Although he had been here before when he was hunting [Twisted Animation Clown], Jason did not exclude this place.
On the contrary, he was full of doubts about this place.
It's very simple. Is it really a coincidence that [Twisted Animated Clown] is on Angcheng TV Station?
What a coincidence. Just after he appeared in an alley in Angcheng, he appeared directly in the supermarket opposite him?
Without knowing about the existence of the 'Temple', Jason might be able to regard it as a coincidence.
But when Jason learned about the existence of the 'Temple', no matter how you looked at it, these coincidences seemed to be carefully planned by someone.
"I hope you're still waiting patiently!"
Jason muttered to himself.
One of the 'Faceless Men' legions launched an assassination attempt on him. No matter what the outcome was, the other 'Faceless Men' in Ang City would definitely wait for the news silently.
After success, they went to respond.
When that failed, they went to clean up the mess.
Based on this premise, these 'faceless people' will definitely stay in the place they think is the safest.
And where is there a safer place than the environment where the identity has been carefully arranged many times?
Thinking of this, Jason took a deep breath.
The scent of the obsidian dagger penetrated directly into his nose.
The feeling of hunger once again filled Jason's mind.
However, he still endured it.
Different from the initial simple fight against hunger, Jason now not only wants to fight against hunger, but also allows himself to think calmly and rationally when facing 'food'.
This is not easy to do.
But Jason knew this was necessary.
That state of being completely dominated by 'appetite' is really too bad for him.
"Self-discipline will set me free!"
Jason picked up the obsidian dagger, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then put it down again.
But, soon, he wiggled his nostrils again.
His eyes, which had been squinting slightly, opened immediately.
There was a trace of surprise in his eyes.
…
Tusoko, one of the managers of the interview department of Angcheng TV.
Compared with several other supervisors, this supervisor has always been respected.
Not only because of his age and ability, but also because of his approachability.
Whenever he encounters something, Tusoko is always willing to help others, and he will not refuse any foreign visits. Even if it is someone else's task, as long as he asks, Tusoko will agree.
Just like the last time, Tusoko agreed to a mission from another supervisor and went on a foreign visit for two weeks. He just came back yesterday.
Then, I spent the whole night sorting out the interview materials.
Drowsiness is natural.
After Tusoko couldn't help but yawn, a male subordinate on duty couldn't help but said: "Supervisor, you should be tougher instead of being a good guy. Do you know how they talk about you behind your back?"
?”
"Why are you talking about me?"
Tusoko pushed up his glasses, and his gray temples moved back slightly under the friction of the temples. A smile appeared on the old man's face, adding a few more wrinkles.
"They say you are a bad person!"
"It's good for everyone!"
"Even a heinous villain will say good things to you - because you will definitely meet all his requirements and will not resist."
The young male subordinate said this.
Tusoko was slightly startled, as if he didn't know how to answer, and a guilty smile appeared on his face.
Then, he got up and walked towards the tea room.
Looking at Tusoko's back, the male subordinate pursed his lips, and finally climbed weakly on the desk.
Several people on duty who had been paying attention to the situation immediately started talking.
"It's impossible for Director Tusoko to listen to your advice."
"He must not have had any part in the interview minister's campaign this time."
"We have to show our kindness to several other supervisors. I don't want to be assigned any foreign missions and not be able to go home for several weeks."
"yes."
"Actually, it would be good for a good old man like Tusoko to be a minister. At least I won't be made things difficult when I ask for leave."
"Yes, as long as we ask for it, they might even give us more subsidies and bonuses."
"It's a pity that he is destined to become cannon fodder in this election."
Tu Suoko heard such discussions clearly.
Even though the door to the tea room has been closed, for a formal member of the 'Faceless Men' legion, his perception is simply not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Listening to these words, Tusoko's habitual guilty smile became more sarcastic and more ferocious.
"Desolate cities, depraved people."
"What awaits you is nothing but the scorching flames!"
"No blood can wash away your sins!"
Tusoko thought in his heart, and looked outside through the small window of the tea room.
The night outside the window was silent, but his colleagues had already taken action.
It will be lively soon!
The immortal 'abnormal' must have become frightened at this moment.
Any existence that is pursued by the 'Temple' will be in panic all day long.
Because, they will all die without a burial place in the end.
"You actually inadvertently destroyed my layout, you deserve to be punished!"
When he thought that the [Distorted Animated Clown] he had worked so hard to arrange was so easily wiped out by the 'masked man', Tusoko's face couldn't help but become distorted.
It was only one trial that cost him three years of hard work.
Unforgivable!
Tusoko gritted his teeth and thought.
He raised his head and drank the coffee in his hand.
He hoped to use coffee to extinguish the anger in his heart.
However, it is of no use at all.
Moreover, just when he put down his coffee and lowered his head, a tall figure was suddenly reflected on the glass of the window in front of him.
It was a figure that was a full head taller than him, wearing an old-fashioned hockey mask, and his face could not be seen clearly.
At this moment, she was standing behind him, looking down at him.
Hockey noodle, mask?!
In an instant, the hairs on Tusoko's back stood up.
"you……"
Just as Tusoko was about to speak, a broad palm covered his mouth, and a short-handled broad-bladed machete passed over his neck.
puff!
Blood sprayed on the glass opposite.
Most of the night outside the window was directly dyed red.
Only the corner is left, where a full moon shines brightly.
Let the darkness become deeper and deeper.
Making the scarlet color even more dazzling.
It also made the tall figure intertwined in darkness and scarlet even more creepy.
Jason bent down without realizing it, raised his hand and took out another small obsidian dagger from the opponent's jacket pocket.
Looking at the new obsidian dagger in his hand, Jason's face hidden behind the mask revealed a smile.
