Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 203 – Positive and Negative
Ka-ching!
Klein saw Eisinger Stanton’s back visibly dented, only to realize that his spine was also vaguely aching.
With a flutter, Eisinger, who was already falling forward, fell to the ground and seemed to have lost consciousness instantly from the pain.
Kaslana, who had thrown the punch, stood still, panting with blank eyes and a cold sweat on her forehead, without following up on her attack.
It was as if she had just woken up from a long nightmare caused by her emotions, and her entire body’s strength had completely disappeared in the previous outburst.
Hoo, hoo, Kaslana’s body shook, about to go limp.
Klein’s eyes narrowed and he rushed up in two steps, rushing to Eisinger Stanton’s side.
He half crouched down and tried to assist his opponent.
Sprawled on his back, Eisinger cried out in pain:
”Run away!
”Leave me alone!”
Obviously, he didn’t think that the trio with one seriously injured and one powerless could still hold back the “Apostle of Desire”, so he told Klein to run away immediately and meet up with the Official Extraordinary Person, otherwise all three of them would die here.
At the same time, Eisinger raised his right hand with great difficulty and tried to use some extraordinary ability to the outside, so that the official extraordinary people in the distance would notice the abnormality inside.
As for the miniature “telegraph” with a speaker, it had already flown to the wall due to Eisinger’s fall.
Klein hesitated and was about to make a decision when he saw a viscous black “liquid” flowing down from the ceiling, quickly condensing into a dark figure.
The figure seemed to be completely wrapped in a black curtain, with only a pair of cold blue eyes exposed.
As soon as he saw him, it was as if Klein saw those emotions and desires that were the strongest in living beings:
Fear, anger, greed, jealousy, hunger, lust, and so on and so forth.
The “Apostle of Desire” did not waste his hard work in creating the situation and entered the living room at the first opportunity.
At this time, in the trio of detectives, Kaslana was weak due to emotional outbursts, Eisinger Stanton suffered a serious spinal injury and basically lost his strength, and only Klein was intact.
However, except for his revolver and extraordinary bullets, all of his magical items are on top of the gray fog, and the opposite side is a Sequence 5 “Apostle of Desire”, a powerful person who has the ability to cultivate demonic dogs!
At this moment, the corner of Klein’s mouth slightly curled up.
His right hand, which was placed on the wound on Eisinger’s back, slashed, causing the obvious depression to be strangely shifted to the side, to a rib!
The most amazing and extraordinary ability of the “Magician”:
”Wound Transfer”!
It could transfer a wound to the person once, turning a serious injury into a minor one, but it could not transfer the damage to other people or objects!
As soon as Klein saw Eisinger Stanton’s injury just now, he had already thought of a countermeasure:
First pretend that there is no way to make the “Apostle of Desire” show up, then transfer the wounds of the great detective, so that he only has minor injuries of broken ribs, at this time, Klein believes that Eisinger will synchronize to deal with the “Apostle of Desire”, this is the most instinctive human dying struggle.
In this way, even if the “Apostle of Desire” realizes that the situation is not right, it is too late to disengage from the contact, and when Klein completes the “healing” and joins hands with the great detective, he will be able to entangle the target and delay until the arrival of the official extraordinary person!
Almost at the same time, Eisinger’s ring, which was originally pointing outward, had a greenish color full of vitality appear on its surface, and his body was quickly enveloped by a light glow, and as a result, his wounds recovered quickly.
The fracture of his ribs healed at once.
The great detective’s pain just now was real, but the helplessness was fake!
However, this overlapped with Klein’s help.
When the “Apostle of Desire” who was about to make a move saw this scene, his eyes widened abruptly and his body suddenly stopped.
He turned around and ran towards the window without being entangled.
During this process, his body quickly collapsed and turned into a viscous black liquid.
The liquid seeped into the ground, soaked into the wall, and instantly disappeared.
Klein’s raised right hand, on the other hand, only had time to snap his fingers.
Air bullets were fired through the open window, causing sparks to fly, but the “Apostle of Desire” had completely disappeared.
Singh Stanton.
The great detective happened to be looking at him as well.
”You can heal?”
”You can heal?”
Both men spoke at the same time, asking the same question.
After looking at each other, Eisinger shook his head and laughed bitterly:
”I can’t believe it was my pre-set trap that allowed him to escape.”
While speaking, his ring floated out a faint light, while he himself looked around to confirm that the “Apostle of Desire” had already moved away.
Eisinger whirled around and explained twice:
”I didn’t have a chance to simulate a healing-like ability this afternoon, and then I thought I could use it to set up a trap for the Apostle of Desire to show up due to my serious injuries, so I intentionally bandaged the wound in an exaggerated manner.”
He pointed to the padded marks on his left arm near the shoulder.
”Sure enough, that came in handy, but I didn’t think you could handle a serious injury as well, and as a result ……” Eichener sighed softly.
As a result, both of them prioritized “treating” their injuries, and neither of them bothered to pester the “Apostle of Desire”, so that as soon as the other party realized that something was wrong, they immediately fled far away.
Whether it’s me or Stanton, both have the “Apostle of Desire” does not know the bottom card or arrangement, want to use this to pit him a hand, but who knows that the opposite cancel each other out, letting the target go …… This is the so-called positive positive and negative? Klein helplessly laughed:
”This is because we don’t know each other well enough and don’t cooperate well enough.”
”No, it’s my fault.” Eisinger said sincerely, “When I saw that you didn’t run away or guardedly defend, but instead came over to help me, I should have reasoned that you don’t panic, you have a bottom line, and you have a way, but unfortunately, while wearing this ring, my brain has been running at a high capacity, and it’s difficult to think too much about additional things.”
”2-081″ This seal still has the effect of passively lowering the intelligence ah …… Klein smiled and laughed:
”Mr. Stanton, this is not the time to discuss who is responsible, the ‘Apostle of Desire’ has already escaped, we have to think about what to do afterwards.”
Eisinger said as he took off the ring and turned to the sitting room door:
”The Official Extraordinary One is arriving soon, I’m going to go outside to calm Stuart and the others, and then discuss a way out, will you join me, or do you want to do your own thing first?”
Official Extraordinary People …… Earlier Mr. Stanton mentioned the Night Watch, the Mechanical Heart and the military …… Never be a familiar face …… Well, my psychic intuition didn’t signal an alarm, so it shouldn’t be …… Mr. Stanton is giving me a chance to clean up and dispose of sensitive items, lest I get into trouble with the unfriendly Official Extraordinary ah …… Klein instantly flashed through a multitude of thoughts, pondering and asking:
”Mr. Stanton, where was the ‘Apostle of Desire’ when you grasped his location just now?”
Eisinger thought for a moment and said:
”Your bedroom, sitting at your desk.”
…… What arrogance …… Klein pointed to the door and said:
”I’ll check there to see if there are any traces left.
”If we can get a hold of the ‘Apostle of Desire’s’ true appearance, the hunt for him will definitely be much simpler.
”I’ll trouble you for the rest.”
”Good.” Eisinger walked to the side and assisted the weak and feeble Kaslana.
Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly felt funny:
After discussing so much just now, making preparations and laying traps, the result was still unable to hold back the “Apostle of Desire”, resulting in this situation …… There are always more surprises than preparations …… So the “magician” is only Sequence 7 ……
After leaving the room, Klein went straight to the second floor and entered his bedroom.
Inside the arrangement has not changed in the slightest, even the distance between the chair and the table is no different from the previous, but Klein seems to see a figure wrapped in dark liquid:
He sat there, staring straight ahead, patiently and calmly waiting for the right moment.
The “cold-blooded one” …… Klein looked at the glass of the convex belly window and thought that maybe he could divine what it had reflected.
”The Devil’s Way is very good at committing crimes, so it shouldn’t be that easy to leave clues. …… But you can try above the gray mist. …… Klein examined the area, and began to burn some of the notes he’d made on the go. occult notes.
He hadn’t been dealing with it for long when he saw several strangers come up to the second floor.
The leader was a man with a stiffly lined face, but with tousled, disheveled, stubborn brown hair.
He held in his hand an ancient silver mirror with a strange pattern, and black stones adorning the sides of the mirror as “eyes”.
”Greetings Mr. Moriarty, I am Ikonser Bernard of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, may I inspect this place?”
Klein nodded:
”No problem.”
He whirled around and said politely:
”Would you like me to follow along and answer some questions at any time?”
”Yes, please, Mr. Stanton has mentioned something about you.” Ikonser said with a wink of a smile.
He was followed by several members of the team, with varying attitudes towards Klein, some ignoring, some curious, and some with no less hostility.
What about me? How exactly did Mr. Stanton introduce me, what kind of story did he make up? With his thoughts electrifying, Klein followed Iconser and entered the bedroom once more, while the rest of the Official Extraordinaires worked in groups of two, spreading out to cover different areas of the second floor.
”This is where the ‘Apostle of Desire’ sat?” Ikonser pointed to the chair in front of the desk.
He had obviously inquired about Eisinger Stanton.
”Yes.” Klein replied matter-of-factly.
Without further ado, Iconser picked up the silver mirror and brushed the surface three times with his right hand.
After a brief pause, he spoke in a hushed voice:
”Honorable Arodes, my question is, what did the demon sitting here before look like?”
The light around them suddenly became deep, seemingly tinted with the denseness of rain, while a strange watery light flashed on the surface of the silver mirror, converging to create a scene:
A man covered with a sticky black “liquid” sat in a chair, his back to the window, facing the bed.
Immediately after, the picture changed, the dressing mirror in the corner of the room vaguely reflected the side of the black shadow, also covered by the “blackness” of the side face.
However, a slight outline could be seen.
The “Apostle of Desire” had high cheekbones and a pair of cold blue eyes.
