Part 2 The Faceless Man chapter two hundred and two – the ring
Facing Eisinger Stanton’s proposal, Klein didn’t have much of a reaction as he glanced at the closed door of the living room room and said:
”As far as I know, the ‘Demon’ can anticipate danger before we act, and can even determine the source of the danger so that he can respond effectively.
”We’ll have a hard time finding and slowing him down.”
Eisinger nodded softly:
”Yes, indeed, but it’s not without a solution.”
”What solution?” Caslana asked immediately.
Eisinger smiled:
”I’ve fought him head-on and seen this extraordinary ability of his to foresee danger, so I’ve initially figured out its strengths and flaws.
”‘Demon’ can indeed perceive danger in advance, even a long time in advance, as long as we make a plot against him and put it into actual action, then he will have a corresponding premonition, of course, that must indeed jeopardize him.”
No, the real situation is, different kinds of “demons” in this aspect of the strength of the ability is different, some may only be able to detect ten or twenty minutes in advance …… Klein silently retorted in his heart, but did not say out loud.
Eisinger continued:
”The flaw of this precognition ability is that it can only perceive who and where the danger originates from, there is no way to know the specific details, which gives us an opportunity that we can utilize.”
”Opportunity for what? I don’t think we can let a demon that can foresee danger fall into our trap.” Caslana asked, not quite convinced.
Klein nodded in agreement next to her.
Of course, I can use the gray mist to deceive that “Apostle of Desire” so that he can’t detect the danger too far in advance, but the question is, how can I expose the secret of the gray mist in front of others …… Klein added a few words silently.
Eisinger grinned:
”Normally it really can’t, but the extraordinary world is always full of all kinds of incredible.
”I am a ‘reader’ pathway of the sequence 7 ‘keeper of knowledge’, can also be called ‘detective’, I frankly tell you, is to show cooperation Sincerity.
”In this situation, in this environment, I think candor is more important than any other element.”
A Sequence 7 escaped from the Apostle of Desire? It seems that Mr. Stanton has a powerful magical item. …… Klein adjusted his sitting position in a daze.
”‘Knowledge Keeper’ can restrain a demon’s ability to foresee danger?” Caslana asked with her body leaning forward.
”No.” Eisinger smirked, “But I have a ring that comes from a runaway Sequence 6 in the path of one of the ‘Readers’ that allows me to recognize, see, remember, and simulate every extraordinary ability I’ve ever seen, but of course, the stronger the extraordinary ability I face, the higher the probability of failure.
”Haha, in our church we have a maxim that omniscience means omnipotence.”
How does this sound so familiar …… especially the description of that item …… Klein was about to expand his memories when he had already seen Eisinger Stanton take out a lustrous and beautiful ring.
The ring was encrusted with a number of tiny diamonds, which together clustered around a beautiful turquoise gemstone like a human eye.
The mere sight of the ring gave Klein a wave of vertigo, as if his brain power had been over-exerted.
Isn’t this the seal “2-081”? Eisinger Stanton is Mr. Wisdom Eye? Crane moved his gaze upward in dismay and looked at the great detective sitting in the easy chair.
The ring was the same seal “2-081” that Wise Eyes had shown off to him and used several times at the Gathering of the Extraordinary!
The Eye of Wisdom …… This code name sounds related to the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom …… Klein used the ability of the “clown” to control his expression, and did not move to look at Eisinger Stanton. Stanton.
Eventually, he found that some of the outlines of the great detective did match the “wise eyes” of the old man, but in many details are very different.
Disguise ability is very strong ah …… have the ability to use “2-081”? Klein has a general judgment.
At this time, he thought of a scene:
If Mr. Stanton said, “The most important thing for everyone to cooperate against the ‘Apostle of Desire’ is honesty, I’ve already described my sequences and magical items, and it’s your turn”, what should I say? What am I supposed to say? Silently take out the “Sun Brooch” I bought from him?
At that time, will he say “Wow, it’s you, kid”?
While Klein was thinking about it, Caslana looked at the ring displayed by Eisinger Stanton and asked with some envy and doubt:
”What ability are you trying to simulate against that ‘Apostle of Desire’s’ foreknowledge of danger?”
Eisinger sketched the corners of his mouth and gave a light laugh:
”The demon’s ability to foresee danger.”
At this moment, he looked like a fox with gray fur.
Huh? That worked too? Klein didn’t figure out how it worked for a moment.
Seeing his and Kaslana’s puzzled looks, Eisinger smiled and explained:
”The first step, which is what we’re doing, is to plot and act on a plan that can actually jeopardize the ‘Apostle of Desire’.
”Step two, the ‘Apostle of Desire’ senses the danger and learns that it originates from us, from here.
”Step three, as a demon, there are some instincts that he cannot change without prior preparation, his first reaction must be to stifle the danger or retaliate against us, and there will be a certain amount of physical change before he considers whether the current situation is unsuitable for a counterattack and whether he should choose to stay away.
”In the fourth step, I, who simulated the demonic precognition ability, perceived the threat of the ‘Apostle of Desire’ and grasped where the danger originated from, that is, where he is currently located.”
This …… divine operation ah …… Klein was almost shocked.
But what about the follow-up? “Desire Apostle” as soon as he realizes the problem, he will immediately run away, we have no time to catch up …… He immediately came up with a new doubt.
Eisinger looked at the two men separately and smiled:
”According to my deduction, he must be hiding around now, and then being able to remotely manipulate other people’s emotions, there is also a distance limitation, and he just had guided Stuart and others to lose control of their emotions.
”After I escaped the tracking, the reason why I waited until now to come over is because I was discussing the program with the Night Watchers, the Mechanical Heart, and the military, and they each sent out two to three squads in charge of a certain area around them, and each of these areas has its own code name, huh, this is all something that the ‘Apostle of Desire’ could have in advance Anticipate the handling, even if he perceived danger, he would still consider it normal.
”As soon as I determine his location, I will immediately notify the official Extraordinary Ones, and they will quickly blockade the corresponding areas and surround them up in layers.”
”But the problem is, how do we notify the official Extraordinary Ones? If we can’t accomplish this within a few seconds, the ‘Apostle of Desire’ escaped, and of course, after the operation didn’t work just now, he might have already moved away.” Klein mused.
”If that’s the case, there’s nothing else we can do, no scenario is absolutely perfect, we can only wait for the preparation of the activation of a certain seal to be completed, and by that time, the ‘Apostle of Desire’ may have moved away from Berklander, but could return at any time.” Eisinger explained twice.
He whirled around and pulled out a palm-sized golden item that resembled a shrunken telegraph, but with a horn.
”This is a sealing item that allows my voice to ring out over a range of five kilometers at the same time.” Eisinger introduced it with a smile, “Its negative effect is that once it is activated, all the sounds within five kilometers around will reach the user’s ears for a long time, but of course, I can simulate an extraordinary ability to diminish this effect.”
Caslana listened intently, frowning slightly:
”Given that there is an official Extraordinary, you don’t seem to have a need to seek our cooperation?”
Eisinger put on the seal “2-081” carefully and discreetly, and said sincerely:
”In order not to alert the ‘Apostle of Desire’ in advance, this area closest to us is power blank, so if the target is really here, we need the three of us to help each other and try to delay him as much as possible.”
”I have no problem with that.” Klein agreed after a little thought.
Caslana also nodded:
”Mr. Stanton, this doesn’t really need you to explain so much, we’ll cooperate for our own sake as well.”
”Haha, explaining is part of plotting, and reaching an agreement means that the action is about to begin ……” Eicheng half closed his eyes.
The ring he wore on his right hand, while the turquoise gemstone shimmered with a ghostly blue, almost black light.
Suddenly, Eisinger Stanton stood up and pointed upward with a stony expression:
”He’s right here, right upstairs!”
Klein and Kaslana got up at the same time, one of them was ready to snap his fingers, light the match on the second floor, and jump up directly, while the other one followed Eisinger and ran towards the door.
They didn’t expect the Apostle of Desire to be so bold as to stay in the neighborhood, at 15 Minsk Street, after his previous failed operation!
Maybe he was upstairs watching the whole thing coldly while we were discussing our plans to deal with him! Such a thought sprang to Klein’s mind haughtily.
Just then he saw Kaslana’s eyes suddenly redden, and her right hand formed a fist and snapped at Eisinger Stanton’s undershirt!
This …… Klein’s pupils contracted, understanding many things at once:
The reason why the “Apostle of Desire” didn’t escape is because he still has a plan!
He still has the seed of corruption planted in someone’s heart and has not yet catalyzed it.
That person was Kaslana!
One of only three extraordinary people here!
The purpose of the unsuccessful and easily defused commotion was to relax the crowd’s vigilance and wait until the critical moment to let Kasrana lose control of her emotions!
The biggest target of the “Apostle of Desire” is still Eisinger Stanton.
It’s so cunning …… Klein snapped his fingers, but only created an air bullet that was shot at Kaslana’s air bullet.
At the same time, he shouted:
”Watch out!”
Eisinger, who was also experienced, didn’t care what was going on and just lunged forward.
But Kaslana ignored the bullet, letting the arm it hit splatter with blood.
Bang!
She connected with a punch and slammed into Eisinger’s back.
Ka-ching!
Klein heard the sound of bones breaking, and the location of the contact was the spine.
