Enforcer's Handbook

The man did not lie about the big house.

The address is located in the villa area near the beach in the southwest corner of District 1. Until 2167, this was still the premier villa area of ​​the coalition government. Mr. Hogg-Foster, an employee of the H1 department, owned a property here.

However, according to Hogg, these villas are vacant most of the time, and the houses are usually maintained by real estate agents or nannies. The properties here are more like a symbol of status. In addition to sufficient wealth, you need to buy a house here. Have a certain social status.

Hogg warmly invited other H1 colleagues to visit his villa and set it up as their tea art activity center in District 1.

But perhaps because of the "Witch Hunting Movement", the villa area at this time was full of desolation. After passing the security booth, I didn't meet anyone along the way. In addition, it was a cloudy day with fog. A layer of mist made this empty luxury villa area even more eerie.

Not long after, the three of them, led by the middle-aged man, arrived at the door of a villa with lights on.

The person who opened the door for them was an older woman wearing a maid's skirt. She was not surprised that the man brought back guests, and quickly prepared three guest rooms and a change of clothes for Song Lan and others.

During this period, the man went to the wine cellar and took out the red wine that he said he had collected for a long time. He also gave a few instructions to the maid and asked her to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

The warm-toned lighting seems to have been specially prepared. The cozy and warm feeling makes people feel at home inexplicably. Sitting on the soft sofa, you want to relax.

Song Lan guessed that other psychics might feel much stronger than them.

After the "Witch Hunting Movement" became popular, people with psychic abilities lived in great fear every day. They were hated by the people around them every day and became the target of being hunted. The attitude of men towards them undoubtedly formed a strong Contrast.

The person being imprisoned in the basement of the villa at the moment must have been recruited in this way.

For some unknown reason, the man did not kill them immediately, but prepared separate cells for them and provided them with the minimum nutritional injections necessary for their survival.

What really restricts the movement of psychics should be the devices on their wrists and ankles. Resistance cadre Ashe had similar shackles on her hands and feet when she was escorted to District 17.

Anti-psionic field.

For a long time, large companies such as psychic research institutions and military technology have been studying ways to deal with psychics, and anti-psychic fields are the general solution they came up with.

Different from the method used by the spiritual guardian to show off one's abilities at a moment's notice, the anti-psychic energy field hinders the activation of abilities by interfering with thinking and consciousness.

What is intriguing is how these things jointly developed by experimental institutions and large companies ended up with the wakers. The history of 2167 defines them as a non-governmental organization. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to develop equipment with anti-psychic fields. Possibility of getting it.

Unfortunately, middle-aged men are doomed to be disappointed.

The anti-psychic energy field is ineffective against Lu Xiang and the "Emperor". As for him...

Out of concern and compassion for her friend, Song Lan felt that the anti-psychic field could be effective on him.

Otherwise, when the man showed his true colors, took out the anti-psychic field device with a grin, only to find that it had no effect on the three of them, the scene would be too embarrassing.

Song Lan felt embarrassed for the other party just by thinking about it.

The "hospitable" man was not aware of Song Lan's thoughts. His plan was still proceeding in an orderly manner. So far, he has warmly received many psychics in this villa. Among the three, he is the only one who is more capable. The troublesome thing is that mechanical lump.

This was the first time he saw a psychic who had been transformed into a full-body prosthetic body.

Don’t the experts at the psychic research institute keep saying that psychic abilities and prosthetics are mutually exclusive?

But when he thought of the invincible anti-psionic device, the man felt a lot more at ease.

Those seemingly extremely powerful psychics were all defeated by the anti-psionic field devices. What's more, in order to ensure that everything was safe, he also added some condiments to the wine and meals - harmless to ordinary people, but capable of interfering. A blast into the mind of a psychic.

"I've always been curious. How did you know we were psychic when we were downstairs in the hospital?"

Song Lan asked, the guardians did have some gadgets that were rare in 2167. These weapons designed specifically for psychics seemed to have been intensively destroyed with the end of the "Witch Hunting Movement". part.

"It's because of this."

The man showed his watch to several people. Song Lan was not the first person to ask this question. He had already prepared for it. "This watch was designed by a psychic research institution. The device inside can detect The nearby psychic changes occurred, and the pointer reacted to you when you were at the entrance of the hospital."

In the past, whenever he mentioned the Psychic Research Institute, the questioner would drop his guard.

Song Lan let down her guard and drank a large glass of wine without any precautions.

"You drink less."

Seeing this, Lu Xiang frowned.

It’s no secret in the rescue department that Song Lan has a bad drinking habit. Every time the department has a gathering, he sits at the same table with the navigation robot Nami. Since most of the people in the department are alcohol lovers, he teamed up with the artificial intelligence , opened up a "drink-free" track at the party.

"Slowbird Observation Diary" shows that Song Lan will become sleepy as long as he drinks alcohol, but he doesn't know whether it is the effect of alcohol or whether he is pretending.

Lu Xiang's words made the man's heart tighten, and his body tensed up and prepared for battle.

Could it be that this woman noticed something?

Before he could think further, Song Lan answered the questions in his mind with practical actions. With a "pop", Song Lan lay straight on Lu Xiang's knees.

"Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding!"

There are no drugs in this wine!

The man almost blurted out nervously. Although he did plan to use an anti-psionic device to control the three of them and put them in a dungeon like other psychics, he did not put magic in the wine. Medicines, even medicines that suppress psychic abilities are delayed in taking effect just to be on the safe side.

"He has a bad drinking tolerance and will fall asleep when he drinks. I warned him not to drink."

This time it was the man's turn to feel weird.

These were obviously words of complaint, but he always felt that Lu Xiang seemed to be in a particularly happy mood when he said these words, and his right hand was stroking Song Lan's broken hair while he fell asleep.

The man suddenly had a strange idea - even if he didn't do anything, the woman seemed to have planned to stun the young man.

Wait a minute, are these three really friends?

"Huh, thanks to you, you saved us a lot of trouble."

After confirming that Song Lan had completely fallen asleep, Lu Xiang flipped the bangs on her forehead, and her whole temperament also changed drastically. "In order to win his trust, we really wasted a lot of effort."

The moment Song Lan fell, she thought of a new idea.

Torture-style interrogation may not be able to extract reliable information from men, so you might as well change your approach and ask the other party to take the initiative to let down their guard and share information with them.

But doing so is not easy, especially since she must vividly express her hatred for Song Lan and psychics.

But for a top student who has received professional training from Daystar, simulating emotions is a piece of cake.

Instructor Catherine once taught them the deduction method.

Just like now, Lu Xiang imagined that he had worked overtime for a day in the counterintelligence department and returned home exhausted until late at night. When he entered the door, he was moved to find that Song Lan was still awake and had prepared her favorite shredded potatoes for her.

This originally heartwarming scene changed when she picked up the chopsticks.

The pungent and spicy taste made her realize belatedly that what was on the plate was not shredded potatoes, but shredded ginger.

At the same time, a gloating smile appeared on Song Lan's face, and he boldly told her that he had hidden all the water and drinks in the house.

"hiss--"

Lu Xiang took a breath, and the hand that was gently stroking Song Lan's broken hair turned into a nine-yin white bone claw shape due to the strong fluctuations, as if he was going to leave several claw marks on the other person's forehead in the next moment.

The deductive method achieved excellent results.

Even though she knew very well that the scene just now was an illusion, she was still very angry. The gnashing of her teeth and the serious look in her eyes successfully frightened the man.

"you……"

"We have been tracking this devil's follower for months to take him down."

Something unexpected happened!

The man's heart was shocked, and he opened his mouth in disbelief, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be one of our own!

Devil's follower is the internal term for a pallbearer.

Lu Xiang cleverly took advantage of the time difference - it would be several months before Benjamin Abele spoke publicly in the media. Today's "witch-hunting movement" is still in its infancy, and there are only a few members in the organization.

After arriving at the villa, she remembered the identity of the middle-aged man based on the prompts from the "Sea of ​​Souls".

"Bloody Executioner", this is what the coalition government later called him. After the end of the "Witch Hunting Movement", men were sent to the guillotine under the trend of public outrage because of his bloody and cruel methods, which became a modern concept. It is rare for criminals to be publicly executed in public.

He is one of the elders of the Pallbearers and the main provider of funds in the early days of the organization.

The identity of the company executive was incompatible with civil society organizations. Later, there were many versions of rumors about his motives. Some people thought that he joined the wake just to vent his perverted and cruel desires. Some people thought that he had always hated him because of some experiences in his early years. All psychics.

"Putting drugs into the wine and food, and then relying on the anti-psychic force field device to make them completely lose their ability to resist. It's a good method, but why didn't you kill them immediately instead of locking them in the basement?"

During the "Witch Hunting Campaign", the "Bloody Executioner" built a storage room under the villa into a dungeon, where he brutally tortured people with psychic abilities. The photos and videos left behind have caused many investigators to wonder. Psychological shadow, until 2167, there were rumors that the resentment of psychics could not be dissipated for a long time, and haunting incidents often occurred in the villa area.

"Killing them all at once would be too cheap for them."

The man's tone immediately became gloomy, but his heart became excited again. He had never met anyone who could sit with him and discuss his ideas. "Are you sent here by Benjamin?"

"We just have the same goals for now."

"Get rid of the psychic."

The man said without hesitation the ultimate goal of the guardians. They are a noble organization that fights against devil believers. They are also the ones who discover the true identity of psychics before anyone else. He glanced at Song Lan coldly and asked, "What did this kid do? Let you track him for several months?"

"Look at what he looks like now, and you can probably imagine it."

Lu Xiang glanced at the "Emperor" who was in confusion.

The change in the situation was beyond his expectation. The modified prosthetic eyes exuded a confused light blue halo. They had not discussed the plan in advance. He really couldn't understand how Lu Xiang could act based on Song Lan's drunkenness. I came up with these words all at once.

But now, this hot potato has been thrown to him.

Lu Xiang and the man watched him, waiting for him to reveal all the atrocities Song Lan had inflicted on him.

"This man is a devil."

He is not good at lying, and usually prefers to take upright actions. After being silent for a long time, the "Emperor" finally had an inspiration. In front of the two of them, he opened the door of the mini refrigerator and said sadly, "This It's what he did, just to satisfy his own evil taste, that turned a real warrior into this!"

"What a heinous crime!"

The man was deeply affected and cursed through gritted teeth. If this heinous devil's believer hadn't been lying on Lu Xiang's knees now, he would have definitely poured the red wine in the glass into his face!

"Put him in the dungeon, where I have prepared many instruments of torture."

"Now is not the time."

Lu Xiang said, "This person has a close relationship with a certain association of psychics. We approached him just to obtain information about the association."

"A Guild of Psychics!?"

Hearing this, the man straightened his body and his eyes glowed, "What are they from?"

"That is a worldwide criminal organization of psychics. There should be many names you are familiar with in it. The notorious internationally wanted criminals such as 'Tyrant' Eschenweg and 'Pluto' are members of this organization, and This person is the contact person placed by the organization within the coalition government."

"If you want to deal with those people, you can't do it with just two or three people."

"Yeah, so we're raising funds and a secret location."

Lu Xiang deliberately looked embarrassed, "It would be great if I could find someone to provide funding."

Thanks for the 500 starting coins for the no-peeing-in-the-public reward!

Small theater its three hundred and forty:

A certain day of a certain year, a certain day, a Saturday, in the evening

Lu Xiang is good at everything, but he likes to settle old scores too much.

Of course, this can't be entirely her fault. It can only be said that her memory is amazingly strong and she can always remember those unpleasant things.

Song Lan advised, "Old Lu, don't cling to the past is the secret to happiness."

"No, this is different. I thought you were just playing a prank before, but now it seems that you were resentful of me."

Lu Xiang crossed his arms and said, "Tell me, if you are dissatisfied with me, I will never be angry or hold a grudge."

Song Lan’s tip is to warn everyone here. People who often fall in love know that when your girlfriend says that she will never be angry or hold a grudge, you should probably be careful.

Those who foolishly believed the truth and confessed on the spot often met with tragic endings.

Of course, silence or staunch denial is also the wrong approach.

When your girlfriend asks this, it means she is determined to get you to tell her why.

"You really don't hold grudges?"

Song Lan showed her inner struggle and hesitation vividly.

"Don't hold grudges."

"You kept dragging me on business trips during that time. I don't like working overtime."

At this time, it is necessary to give a slight and easily accepted reason.

"I see."

Lu Xiang nodded, "I will pay attention to it in the future."

"real?"

"There is a prize for guessing, one of these two sentences is true."

Lu Xiang put down his chopsticks gracefully, "Which sentence do you hope is true?"
