The moment his mouth was covered, Drinker struggled hard, but the escape techniques he remembered were of no use at all.
The strength of that palm was too great.
The fingers just pinched the sides of his cheeks, and the huge force made him feel a suffocating feeling when he was in pain.
"trap!"
In an instant, Drinker reacted.
Although he didn't know how he was exposed, but at this time he didn't hesitate, and directly activated the secret technique branded in the depths of his soul.
The cold breath began to overflow.
Drinking, who was no different from ordinary people, directly became like a 'living corpse'.
He lost his mind.
He will roar.
He wants to tear the people behind him.
Then…
Click!
His neck was broken by Jason.
The limp Drinker Link was not dead, his hands and feet were still moving, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"Yi!"
A [Protection from Evil] hit the opponent.
Immediately, Drink didn't move, and the whole person showed the original face of the 'faceless man'.
Jason frowned slightly.
He originally wanted to ask more things from the other party's mouth.
But the other party was more decisive than he imagined.
"'The Temple'…"
Jason muttered the name of the organization again.
The organization that can pass on for more than 300 years is far stronger than he imagined, whether it is the organization itself or its members.
This is also reminding Jason what to do in the 'Night Owl Court'.
While thinking, Jason bent down, picked up the fifth obsidian dagger and put it in his pocket.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on Esther's door.
"Master Jason?"
"Come in."
Jason replied.
After pushing the door and entering, Esther motioned to Jason, and then began to inspect the 'faceless man' in front of him. Unlike the previous four, Esther inspected this one in more detail.
After all, this person in front of him is a C-level person pretending to be a 'shelter'.
Unfortunately, the search of the body turned up nothing.
"I'm going to his place."
After Esther left such a sentence, he left in a hurry.
Edmund knocked on the door and walked in a dozen seconds after Esther left.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Edmund's face was gloomy.
"Drinker is a nice guy."
He said so.
The meaning of the words is very clear. Since members of the "Faceless Men" legion of the "Temple" pretended to be Drink, the real Drink was probably dead or imprisoned.
Edmund hopes it's the former.
Not cruel.
Because death is also a kind of relief.
If it is imprisoned... in the style of the 'temple', then life is really worse than death.
After a little emotion, Edmond turned and looked at Jason.
"Master Jason, what should we do next?"
Edmund asked.
Although he already had a complete plan in his mind, he still followed Jason's wishes.
He is very clear that all the plans in front of him revolve around this man, and once he leaves this man, everything will be nothing but a fantasy.
"Follow the previous plan."
"However, you have to temporarily 'hide' me."
"I, who was already weak, was attacked again, making me think that the 'shelter' is not safe. It just so happens that my life is long enough for me to know some secret things and organizations."
"And there is one in Angcheng."
Jason said, pointing to the body of the 'Faceless Man' on the ground, and said calmly.
"Did the 'Night Owl Court' come along with the trend?"
Edmund was talking to himself thoughtfully, and at the same time, he had already made up a corresponding story in his heart.
Glancing at Edmund's expression, Jason didn't say anything more.
He believed that Edmond, who was an aborigine, would make up a more reasonable and convincing story than he thought.
About half an hour later, Esther returned.
Looking at Esther's expression, Jason knew that Esther had gained nothing.
In fact, it is.
"There's nothing of note in Drink's residence."
"The whole house is very clean, so clean that it doesn't look like it's inhabited."
"I doubt he has another place to stay."
Est said.
"I'll have someone investigate."
"Now we need to do more important things."
Edmund said.
Esther nodded solemnly.
Then, Jason saw Edmund and Esther lying on the table and writing quickly.
Ten minutes later, two reports were handed to Jason.
Let's look at Edmond's first:
Members of the 'Faceless Man' legion in the 'Temple' pretended to be me and assassinated the 'Mask Man'. The Mask Man suffered fatal injuries, but he still killed the members of the 'Faceless Man', which also aroused the anger of the 'Mask Man' , he began to search for other 'faceless men' in Ang City. After killing three 'faceless men' in a row, the 'mask man' fell into weakness and returned to rest in the secret stronghold of Ang City under my suggestion. When Link was resting on the 'Mask Man', he attacked suddenly.
The 'Mask Man' who was so weak that he fell asleep suffered fatal injuries again, but he still killed Drinker. Then, he did not rest in the stronghold. Obviously, he thought that the stronghold was no longer safe, and he should have a safer place , but this place seems to make the 'mask man' feel scruples, and he didn't make up his mind to use it before.
The 'mask man' is very vigilant, I can't send someone to follow, and now I have temporarily lost the trace of the 'mask man'.
…
Very good description, with speculation, but no real answer.
People who read this report will naturally look for answers, and some false information about him is enough for him to surprise these big shots at certain moments.
Jason nodded, and looked at Est's report:
The 'Temple' sent people to assassinate the 'Mask Man', and after being counter-killed, the angry 'Mask Man' began to chase and kill the 'Mask Man', but the fatal injuries seemed to keep the 'Mask Man' in a weak state, killing three After forming a 'faceless man', he entered a drowsy state, but was attacked by Drink in the disguise of a 'faceless man'.
The 'Mask Man' left the secret base of the 'Shelter'. When he left, he asked me for two 'abnormal' items, and asked me to deliver them to him at the agreed address a day later.
(Appendix: copy of fast food restaurant invoice)
…
Esther's report did not exceed Jason's expectations.
Except for that copy of the invoice.
Facing Jason's gaze, Esther smiled shyly.
"Reasonable reimbursement."
"I also applied for reimbursement from the 'Asylum', and I'm waiting for senior Edmond to sign."
As he spoke, he looked at Edmund expectantly.
Edmund frowned, and finally nodded.
This made Esther's smile brighter immediately.
"That'll give us money to rent a house for the 'fraternity'!"
"Master Jason, I suggest that you make more noise when you fight in the future—no, no, you misunderstood me, I don't want you to kill innocent people, but you can destroy buildings! "
"'Asylum' has compensation regulations, and the person who signed Ang Cheng is Edmond."
"I can also apply for activity funds from the 'Holy Snake Society'."
When Jason looked at him, Esther immediately explained seriously.
"If this goes on, you and I will be reviewed sooner or later."
Edmund smiled wryly.
'Asylum' and 'Holy Snake Society' are not fools, once or twice is fine.
If this happens again and again, someone will definitely come to check it.
Est laughed.
Even brighter than before.
He leaned in front of Jason and Edmund, lowered his voice and said:
"I welcome them here."
"Really, we don't need to fight them."
"We just need to... get them to join us!"
Hearing this, Edmond covered his face.
When Esther opened his mouth, he guessed something, but when he really heard what Esther said, he still felt a little unbelievable. Is this the passionate, simple and silly Esther he knew
Who did he learn from
The thinking in his mind did not hinder Edmond's words.
"Not everyone will be drawn into your group."
"It is necessary to prescribe the right medicine."
"Some guys will not be moved by money, but they pursue mystery and the unknown, so we can contact them in the name of 'Hydra', 'Glutton Club', or even 'Night Owl Court', and we will be able to let them Unconsciously stand in our camp."
Edmund added.
Esther immediately looked at Edmund with bright eyes.
He felt he had learned again.
The two muttered in low voices, as if two foxes, one big and one small, were having a meeting.
Jason did not participate in it, he believed that the two could do well enough.
And him
Naturally, he returned to the boxing gym.
He needs to take advantage of this time to improve his strength as much as possible.
Although the time is only two or three days or less, he doesn't care.
Hard work is the foundation.
But more importantly, he's incredibly talented.
Although most of the time, he prefers to behave like an ordinary person when interacting with other people, but when it comes to critical moments, he will not pretend to be himself.
He, Jason, is incredibly talented.
"We'll send you off."
Edmund said so.
Just as described in the report, at the entrance of the office building, Jason refused the subsequent send-off, and disappeared into the night alone.
Edmund, who had returned to the secret base of the 'shelter', seized the time and waited for about ten minutes before sending out the report, and then he left the base directly.
He didn't forget the two children who were in the boxing gym.
Edmund was accompanied by Esther, who bought two cups of coffee and some food in the cafe to make the night easier.
Of course, the report disappeared when Esther left with a coffee snack.
The black muscle car starts again.
At night, the roar of the engine was extremely clear.
as if to say—
The curtain opened.
