Cataclysm King - #65 - Chapter 65: The second block [secret cause psychic medium]
Chapter 65, the second block [Secret cause psychic medium]
Ji Xun didn’t expect such a coincidence, when he came to look for clues, he unexpectedly met the mysterious person who came to investigate before.
Thinking about it, the other party was probably out of luck.
Since this old believer used his profession as a doctor as a cover, he naturally wouldn’t hide in some shady place.
Probably this guy didn’t expect that he went to the corpse collector’s dormitory before, and he obviously didn’t show his face the whole time, and even used mental hypnosis, but he was recognized by someone.
The doctor’s vigilance was very high, and someone walked by, as if he noticed something immediately.
Ji Xun just passed by and took a casual glance, and saw that guy’s eyes had already greeted him.
Seeing that it was his mechanic suit, the doctor didn’t pay much attention.
“So strong intuition”
Although Ji Xun was astonished, there was nothing unusual on his expression.
He was also glad that if he hadn’t been prepared in advance, the glimpse just now might have exposed him.
He walked over directly without any extra movements.
While walking, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he thought: “In this way, that plan can be put on the agenda.”
The clues I got before were almost all speculations, and Ji Xun didn’t expect to find the right place right away. He already had the idea of spending a few days around this Sequoia neighborhood. I didn’t expect to come across it on the first day.
Seeing this doctor now, he is almost certain that this is one of the exact locations of the “four pillars”.
Although I don’t know where the exact location of the sacrificial ceremony is, Ji Xun doesn’t need to think about it anymore.
He is still very self-aware.
Fighting at this level is not something that a little Karami like him can currently get involved in.
Now that the person and location have been confirmed, they are all accurate.
So
The following things should be handled according to the procedure.
This doctor is a mystic warlock, with a high probability of being a second-level warlock. Ji Xun doesn’t think he can beat it.
Besides, this guy must have accomplices.
He can’t do it, but it doesn’t mean that others can’t deal with this old-timer.
In the eyes of spell card masters in this world, believers in gods are sewer rats that everyone shouts and beats.
Last time Tailor Street was handled by the field agents of Golden Oak Security Company, so it is certain that the people of Golden Oak can handle this kind of thing.
After confirming the location of the “four pillars”, Ji Xun rode a motorcycle all the way to Beicheng.
He did not return to the Fifth East District, but came to the Corpse Collectors branch in Beicheng, and applied for the job with a new identity.
The reason for doing this is that Ji Xun wants to ensure that after the “four pillars” stronghold is destroyed, he will participate in the on-site collection of corpses.
Only this method is the safest and least noticeable.
He is now very clear about the division of corpse collectors. Sequoia Street is a civilian block, and there are not so many corpses. There is only one corpse collector team—team 18.
Employment was also very smooth.
Ji found out all the procedures of the body collector and joined the job on the same day.
He didn’t wander around, but observed the environment near the dormitory, and made a series of follow-up plans based on the environment.
To Ji Xun’s surprise, there was a huge ground structure and some monsters living in the dark downstairs in the 18th team’s dormitory.
This made his plan a little more secure.
At midnight that night, the moon came out again.
It lasted a little longer than the day before.
That is to say, the Old Days believer didn’t realize that he was exposed.
This is good news.
The next day, Ji Xun went on a mission with the team to collect the corpse.
Similarly, the old players of these 18 teams also have a tradition of bullying newcomers.
Ji Xun’s weak character design with few words makes him once again become a “newcomer” who handles dirty work.
This is exactly what he wants.
If there really is a “cellar” at that time, he must be at the forefront of the scene.
After familiarizing himself with the working environment of the 18th team for a day, Ji Xun started writing the report letter that night.
The general meaning of the letter is that some enthusiastic people discovered a secret stronghold of a cultist at the Yanbian Clinic at No. 354 Hongshan Street.
Clinic doctors are old believers.
That stronghold is also directly related to the “luminous sphere” that appeared in the sky.
He wrote very straightforwardly.
As for how he knew it was, let the people in Golden Oak guess.
Anyway, the characters and places are real, as long as you send someone there, you can verify it immediately.
Even for fear that the recipients would not pay enough attention to the letter, Ji Xun wrote an extra sentence on the letter: I saw the suspected wanted criminal “Lone Wolf” Baron appearing in the clinic.
This guy is now a wanted criminal of the Hunter Union, and the amount of money hanging on the bounty boards of various taverns has exceeded one million.
And Ji Xun is not writing indiscriminately.
After all, last time in the cellar on Tailor Street, he guessed that the few smashed corpses were written by Baron.
This wanted criminal should also be related to the Old Moon Sect.
Report one more to be prepared.
After writing the “report letter”, Ji Xun checked the wording and confirmed that no redundant information would be revealed.
But I always feel that something is almost there.
After thinking about it, he voluntarily left a name on the letter—Chaoyang Qunqun.
The reason why the name is left is not to superfluous.
Ji Xun also has his own deep meaning.
Ji Xun suffered a loss at the hands of the [Fortuneer] on Dark Rain Street before.
Later, I went to learn about extraordinary knowledge related to divination.
He also discovered that although abilities such as divination and prediction can be called bugs, they are also very expensive.
When it comes to some difficult divinations, almost all fortune-tellers use their own lifespan, luck and so on to perform divination.
The directionality of clues, the distance, and the target rank all affect the cost of divination.
Ji Xun also guessed that when his plan is successful, maybe someone will come to him through this report letter.
Ji Xun is confident that there will be no flaws in the logic of this letter.
Then it can only be a mysterious method.
Thinking that they will be divined anyway, so let’s make it more difficult.
If you do not leave your name, the other party will divination the source of the entire letter.
But if the name is left, this is a directional clue.
“Chaoyang Mass” sounds like a place name, and if a fortune-teller gets started, there is a high probability that they will first divination in this direction.
After all, there are directional clues, and the cost of divination flowers is also lower.
The principles of divination are largely based on the logic of the mysterious level, such as fate and the laws of the universe.
If it is a completely fictitious place name, if it cannot be divined, there is no cost.
But “Chaoyang” is not made up.
This is a place name with a complete logical point.
Even Ji Xun didn’t know whether the backlash of the place names in different time and space would cause the fortune teller to die suddenly on the spot.
This is not considered cheating.
It’s fine if I report the evil organization with good intentions, but you still come to find the whistleblower.
And if you want to find it regardless of the cost, it must be the enemy.
That’s embarrassing.
Communicators are only available to large forces.
The communication of ordinary people in Innocence City basically depends on their legs.
There are postmen and newsboys in the city who are responsible for delivering letters, and a dozen copper coins can make those half-children run around the city to deliver letters.
In order not to have long nights and dreams,
After Ji Xun finished writing the letter, he found a reliable postman and entrusted the simple encrypted letter.
The postman will deliver the letter to Golden Oak Security Company headquarters.
The moon does not light until midnight, and the time he chose to deliver the letter happened to be in the evening.
I thought that when the fight was over, the moon hadn’t risen yet, and the energy hadn’t started to be consumed, so the timing was the best.
Before I knew it, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
In the morgue of the 18th team, Ji Xun was processing the corpses, looking at his pocket watch from time to time, muttering something: “Normally, it takes an hour to deliver letters, and an hour to gather for the journey. Fight for a while and clean up the battlefield. This time It should be over, right?”
There is a report letter, and the people from Golden Oak sent people to raid the stronghold of the old sect. This kind of battle will definitely not last long.
There is a shanty town with a dense population, and it is absolutely impossible for the corpse to stay for a long time, otherwise the pollution will spread and the consequences will be serious.
This requires notifying the body collector as soon as possible.
Ji Xun estimated that there should be news around ten o’clock.
But waited until a quarter past ten.
He thought, if there is no more news, he might have to go and see for himself.
However, at this moment, a message suddenly came from the communication copper pipe: “Everyone, Redwood Street has a mission! Bring more body bags!”
Ji Xun immediately regained his energy when he heard it.
Sure enough, it came.
“The company sent a message saying that dozens of corpses were found in a basement on Sequoia Street. I have to be busy tonight.”
“Captain, what’s the situation? Usually there are very few dead people over there, why are there so many dead all at once?”
“Who knows?”
“.”
In the car, Ji Xun was inexplicably familiar with this conversation.
At the beginning, he was also confused and went to Tailor Street.
Now he knows what he is going to do.
The address and conditions are all right, so it can only be the stronghold of that evil sect.
Those Old God believers are deliberately chosen civilian blocks, with complex terrain structures, easy to hide, and easy to spread beliefs and recruit believers.
The body collection trucks of Team 18 galloped all the way on the road, and they arrived at No. 354 Hongshan Street not long after.
The truck is parked on the side of the road.
As soon as Ji Xun got out of the car, he saw a raging fire burning on the ruins of a building not far away.
It was almost as expected, the fight was not intense.
The old believers are a bunch of rats in the sewer, thinking that it is impossible to have the strength of the hard-headed King Kong Oak Company.
Walking over, there were four strong men in black suits standing outside the Yanbian clinic. They were the company’s field agents.
Last time it was two, this time it is four.
Probably because of the “moon”, they are much more cautious than last time.
When Ji Xun and the corpse collectors came, the agents in suits obviously looked at them carefully.
But nothing long-winded.
The body collector entered the scene directly.
The location of this sacrificial ceremony is in the basement not far behind the clinic.
The situation was similar to the last time. There were several corpses killed above, and then there was the dark and smelly basement.
Ji Xun took a closer look, this time the corpse above had not been beaten to pieces.
The wounds were very small, all on the chest, throat and other vital points.
Ji Xun had a faint guess in his heart: “Is this a wound caused by a scalpel?”
It should be the masterpiece of that doctor.
The old team members were stealing and playing tricks in the back. As Ji Xun wished, he was arranged to go to the basement immediately.
Ji Xun and the other two newcomers went all the way down with the lamp, and then saw the skinned corpse hanging from the ceiling shaking slightly in the dark.
On the wall, the mysterious symbols of sacrifice can still be seen everywhere.
There are more **** corpses than Tailor Street, more than thirty corpses by visual inspection.
As always, the skinning process is like a work of art.
The corpse seemed to exude a spiritual stench, making people sick even through a gas mask.
Ji Xun had already seen it once, so he wasn’t surprised at all.
The clown mask is exempt from the spiritual pollution of this sacrificial ritual.
The other two corpse collectors felt very uncomfortable. The extraordinary pollution here is very serious. But there was still work to be done, and the three of them began to collect the corpses.
Ji Xun didn’t show any abnormalities at first, carefully observing the situation in the basement.
After coming out of the maze, he was no stranger to looking at these sacrificial symbols.
There are even more and more complete mysterious symbols on the “four pillars” in the maze than here.
After collecting a few corpses, he quietly walked to the depths of the ceremony and saw the “” symbol.
And at this time, the enlightenment of expectation appeared.
「You have listened to the whispers of demons from the abyss, you are exempt from insanity, and you have touched the ‘Old Miracle’」
After touching the miracle, in the field of vision, the dark energy on the corpse gathered like a thin line on an inconspicuous wall brick.
It was like a scene I had seen before.
Ji Xun saw this, and also looked happy: “Sure enough, it’s still there!”
Doing so much is for this [Secret Cause Psychic].
Moreover, the quality of this psychic is much better than the one on Tailor Street.
Ji Xun felt the thick overflowing black silk, and a cautious light shone in his eyes: “The extraordinary characteristics contained in this psychic medium are at least 50% stronger.”
Probably because one of the four pillars is missing, or there is plenty of time for those outer **** believers to create this enhanced version of the psychic?
This is a good thing for Ji Xun.
If you really want to absorb it, all attributes will inevitably skyrocket again.
But if you really want to take it, the risk of the second piece is much higher than the first one.
But this idea is just a flash, and Ji Xun has already deduced countless plans to deal with risks in his mind.
He came here for this thing, and he had already expected it.
Ji Xunzang tried to put the psychic medium into the storage ring, but found that he couldn’t put it in, and neither could the containment card.
“Hey, it can’t be contained.”
He thought about it, and immediately realized that it might have something to do with the “divinity” shown by the enlightenment?
But it has little effect.
Taking advantage of the inattention of others, Ji Xun repeated his old tricks and quietly removed the psychic and stuffed it into a corpse.
Whether it can be contained or not is expected, and the risks are similar.
Since I choose to take this thing for the second time, it must be hotter than before.
What he wants to do is to swallow it as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be safe to hide anywhere.
Half an hour later, the body in the basement was completely put away.
Several corpse collectors were seriously polluted, as if they were suffering from heat stroke, and they were all in a daze.
The company’s field agents used the antique camera again, and after a brief inquiry, they performed another “memory cleansing” as usual.
Ji Xun already knew the procedure very well, and did not reveal any flaws.
Dozens of corpses were stuffed into the car, which was full.
The hand-collector truck carrying the body left the Sequoia neighborhood.
In the car, Ji Xun sat in the corner and murmured: “At this time, the other two strongholds should also be fighting.”
Actually, apart from the first report letter, there are two other letters that will be sent to the headquarters of Golden Oak by the postman regularly around eleven o’clock.
This is Ji Xun’s second piece of [Secret Cause Psychic] to share the firepower, an insurance on it.
It takes time to devour this treasure, and this time hides a huge risk.
Those old believers are definitely not stupid.
If your home has been stolen once, you must be prepared.
If you really want to find out that the second psychic medium is missing, you will definitely realize that there is a problem with a certain link.
Even if only field agents and body collectors have been to the scene, someone will definitely come to investigate.
This visit may not be as easy as last time.
So Ji Xun must buy some extra time for himself.
The other two report letters only pointed to a general location, but it was enough.
Golden Oak Security Company also has experts, so they will naturally investigate.
Even if it is to startle the snake, the goal is also achieved.
If once the other two strongholds are discovered, those outer **** believers will be overwhelmed.
Ji Xun’s pressure will be much less.
He even felt that the Golden Oak Security Company could still dig deep down along the three strongholds, maybe they could completely destroy the Moon Sect.
Then the troubles will be completely gone.
Of course, even if there is no psychic on Sequoia Street, it can only be said that it is bad luck. Anyway, they have reported it, so they should be regarded as enthusiastic citizens contributing to the city.
And the truth is, now the stuff has arrived.
What Ji Xun has to do is to digest the physical evidence as soon as possible.
Even after so many preparations, he had a premonition that it would not go well.
PS. Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month.
