Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 259 Arrodes is angry

Backlund, East District.

The faces of the "Mechanical Heart" team, who had been concentrating on finding the murderer behind the scenes, were suddenly filled with fear.

They looked at the captain's hair standing up on end as he was surrounded, and shuddered as if they felt the same way.

Arrodes was too scary this time. He was struck by lightning without even asking any questions!
I thought that since Arrodes failed to display the corresponding picture and failed to give an answer, he would escape.

It turns out there is an option to be struck by lightning immediately for "malicious questions"?

Normally, you only need to ask it some unsolved mathematical problems or classic paradoxes. It will regard this as a provocation to find a loophole in its seal, and will refuse to answer and may even be struck by lightning.

Why are they attacking Deacon Ikanser now?

Could it be that the Beyonder who killed “Hurricane Admiral” Qi Lingos was an extremely dangerous being?

You should know that this seal is only a second-level seal because its side effects are "not strong", but it has reached the standard of a "first-level" seal in terms of obtaining information.

Which high-sequence being took action to block prying eyes?

The members of the Mechanical Heart did not pretend that they saw nothing at this moment, so one of the team members hurried forward, helped up Deacon Ikanser who was lying on the ground, and took out a potion from a bag on his body and gave it to Deacon Ikanser to recover.

Two seconds later, Ikanser stood up tremblingly with the help of a chair in the room, and then sat there, shaking and gasping for breath.

He straightened his expression and finally recovered a little under the effect of the recovery potion.

Without even a moment's mourning for the captain's injury, the next speaker was:

The member of the "Mechanical Heart" team who just helped Ikanser up.

He followed the custom of expressing his feelings after using the Arrodes Magic Mirror and spoke of his thoughts:

"Captain, I think even if Arrodes didn't provide the corresponding information, it is enough for us to know that this was done by a High-Sequence Expert."

"From the looks of it, Qi Lingos should have been looking for suitable prey in the East District to satisfy the negative effects of 'Creeping Hunger', and then was discovered by this High-Sequence Powerhouse."

"Of course, perhaps this High-Sequence Expert has been chasing Admiral Hurricane Qi Lingos for a long time, or he has had hostile intentions for a long time, but only found an opportunity to ambush Qi Lingos when he left the sea and reached land."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Qi Lingos was accurately killed just after he had been in the East District for a while and had not yet launched any operations.

Just finding this far does not explain why Qi Lingos and many members of the Aurora Society died on the same day.

It couldn't be that this High-Sequence Expert had an overwhelming sense of justice and decided to kill them all in one go, right?

Without knowing the identity of this High Sequence Expert, and without knowing his true purpose and Qi Lingos' true purpose, this meant that they had to continue their investigation.

——After all, the fact that a High-Sequence Expert who was out of control was wandering around Backlund was enough to attract the attention of the Kingdom Government and the three major churches.

Not to mention that this existence has been "suspected" of killing a number of extraordinary people in succession.

The members of the "Mechanical Heart" present looked at each other, and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's expressions.

"Perhaps judging from the people he eliminated, this being had good intentions?"

After pondering for a while, the member of "Mechanical Heart" who spoke just now made such a summary.

Ikanser used a recent example to illustrate:

"The 'knight' who was praised in the newspapers for killing Kapin also had good intentions, but he was still an uncontrollable wild Beyonder."

There were some things that Ikanser didn't say, but everyone present could understand more or less:
They are the church that rules the land.

They do not need such a "wild extraordinary person" as a "vigilante" or "ranger" to self-righteously destroy the order agreed upon between them and the kingdom.

Even Kapin, damn it.

But why did Backlund allow Capin to live until now, when he had been spreading negative news about him for so long?

Because the three major churches and the kingdom have a tacit understanding.

Because the order created by the three major churches and kingdoms is inherently dark.

Because the three major churches and kingdoms do not care how the "sheep" in captivity live.

Unless their core interests are threatened, this pool of dirty water will exist forever.

This is the human world agreed upon by the Seven Gods Alliance.

……

It’s just that not everyone will think about this level. For those believers who believe in gods devoutly and pray every day:
Maybe this is a test given to them by the gods high above in the star realm?
People in this world may have thought about going a step further, but they were also regarded as heretics and executed.

For the "Mechanical Heart" team, which is paid for their work, a very contradictory point is:

Perhaps some members with a sense of justice had heard about Kapin's news, but as official Beyonders, no matter how certain they were in their hearts, they would not do anything.

After all, at most there would be an official routine inspection, and there would also be channels belonging to the kingdom to communicate behind the scenes.

As mature members of the Mechanical Heart, they would not have such stupid thoughts as "maybe these people were trafficked voluntarily", but:
Maybe, we should believe in gods?

With the support of the church, the Beyonders of the Mechanical Heart did not want to discuss this embarrassing topic in depth.

In other words, even if they have ideas, they have to pretend that they don't have them.

After all, for them who are accustomed to the surrounding scenery in an environment of belief in gods, this place has always been like this.

On the contrary, wild extraordinary people are the ones that those who lead the church's contributions need to focus on monitoring.

Even the so-called "Knight" received this treatment, let alone the mysterious strong man who killed "Hurricane Admiral" Qilingos?

Besides, the deaths of Mr. X and other members of the Aurora Society may not necessarily be related to this existence...

Then Ikanser took the lead in pointing out to the team member:
"Carlson, one thing we can confirm is that Qilingos was indeed killed by an unknown entity."

"But we cannot conclude that Mr. X of the Aurora Society and others who died in the East District on the same day were also killed by him."

Carlson nodded, quietly without objection.

The Aurora Society, who were regarded as terrorists, were not killed by this existence. They were also responsible for patrolling the scene and were the first official extraordinary people to arrive at the scene, so they also had to investigate the matter.

Assuming that it was the mysterious being who killed Vice Admiral Hurricane, ordinary divination methods would not be able to effectively spy on his existence. At this time, Qilingos, who was originally prepared for investigation, would be needed.

Perhaps only one question was needed to confirm who the person was who destroyed the Aurora Society's Backlund branch, but everyone present looked at each other.

"Deacon, judging from what he did just now, it seems that Arrodes would consider the question involving that person as a 'malicious question', but why didn't Arrodes refuse to answer it from the beginning?" It seems that he has just joined this team not long ago, or he does not have enough authority to access relevant information about Arrodes. Carlson does not know much about this mirror.

If it involves an existence that Arrodes cannot see or cannot see clearly, wouldn't it be better for it to refuse to answer from the beginning?
Why do we have to put on a "performance" there first, making it like a clown unable to do anything, and then explain that this is a "malicious question".

Ikanser also showed doubt on his face. He sighed and said slowly as if he accepted his fate:

"This is the first time I've encountered this situation. In the past, if I deliberately asked questions that Arrodes would find difficult to answer, it would directly refuse."

"There have indeed been cases where lightning punishment was given directly as a 'malicious question', but all the questions related to it were made clear by Arrodes from the beginning that he would not answer them."

It's impossible that Arrodes thought that this kind of problem would be easy to solve at first, and then found out in the end that he knew nothing at all, right?

After a pause and looking around, Ikanser frowned:

"According to this situation, if you were to encounter a direct lightning punishment, it would be difficult for you to withstand it given your physical fitness."

Fortunately, they only need to confirm the general circumstances of the death of Mr. X and others from the Aurora Society, and then they can shift the direction of the investigation or hand it over to a higher authority...

Thinking of this, Ikanser's brows relaxed, and then he thought silently in his heart:

In the end, he was just struck by Arrodes' lightning, so he should be able to bear it...

Carlson suddenly stood up. He knew that he could not withstand Arrodes's revengeful lightning strike, so he did not ask on behalf of the captain, but added:
"We can ask Arrodes a different question."

"If that being went to another place to exterminate the Aurora Society members again after killing 'Hurricane Admiral' Qilingos, and finally moved all the bodies to that place for some special purpose."

"Then can we follow this clue and get some information to a certain extent?"

It's true that Carlson's wild idea revealed the truth, and it also caused the surrounding "Mechanical Heart" members to bow their heads and think deeply:
This seems to explain why Arrodes can't show any trace of that existence on the screen.

Because this is not the first scene of the battle!

Then Ikanser's expression became confident, and he said happily as if he had caught the tail of the person behind the scenes:

"Nice suggestion."

Unfortunately, they got one thing wrong. The Aurora Club was purely isolated by the "copy", but the "Hurricane Admiral" Qilingos was not like that.

Also, the being they revered was not the first to overthrow the Aurora Society.

However, Ikanser, with an expression that said "the advantage is mine", picked up the silver mirror again and stroked its surface three times, while the other members gathered around again.

This time, ripples like water light slowly appeared on the mirror surface, and there was no change for a short while. It was not until a long time later that a scene with a composition that could be described as "tragic" was outlined.

But it’s good that we didn’t get stuck like last time.

Soon, another victim who died that day after "Hurricane Admiral" Zillingos appeared on the screen.

However, the moment they saw the picture, they quickly became confused:
Because this back view and this environment don't look like what happened in the Aurora Club.

It was a man, leaving only a blurry back view to the people in the Mechanical Heart.

Just when they were curious about this person's identity, the picture stopped here, as if it started to freeze at some point.

Then, after quite some time had passed, the members of the Mechanical Heart saw a horrifying corpse in the silver mirror that was beyond description.

In other words, they were not sure whether it was a corpse or not, but it was difficult for anyone to classify it as a living thing.

The scene flashed by, and even though the "Mechanical Heart" was a veteran of many battles, at this moment it all had a vomiting reaction.

This was not the end. Ikanser felt that this was the greatest punishment for his questioning, but Arrodes had no intention of showing any mercy, as if he was the poor creature who was being teased and bullied.

It recovered and suddenly emitted a red light, attracting everyone's attention. Lines of bloody words suddenly appeared on the mirror.

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn now."

There was an unspeakable threat in the tone, and the blood-red words that seemed to kill Ikanser changed again, and soon suddenly turned into other chilling words.

"You can choose to be asked this question by me: What is the name of the male church member whom you have been thinking about day and night, and you have tried your best to please him, but in the end you still cannot get him?"

With a buzzing sound, Ikanser's face first lost color, and then turned red.

This question not only pierced the wound hidden deep in his heart, but also left him at a loss.

Moreover, the male church member who was close to him directly punctured his XP and almost exposed him.

This is like roasting Ikanser on a fire!

But Arrodes' words that looked like drops of blood did not stop:
"Or complete the task:"

"Go to the Backlund *** location and find that male church member. Pin him down and beat him hard in the sex position you dreamed of last night..."

"I choose punishment!"

Ikanser's shouting was ultimately not as fast as Arrodes's words. After all, Arrodes was clearly aiming to kill Ikanser, and he was trying hard to reveal those secrets that would cause him to die socially over and over again.

But it doesn't matter anymore. At this moment, Ikanser's information about the person he loved and his own private romantic thoughts were all exposed.

At this moment, he really didn't want to remain conscious and stand in this world!

With a loud "boom", a bolt of lightning fell immediately. Perhaps the lightning was powerful enough, and it carried a faint green light.

Ikanser's messy and stubborn brown hair was no longer what it used to be, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

……

In the same East District as them, there was an ordinary-looking figure holding a cane, visiting one by one the notorious and vicious gang leaders in the area.

"Didn't you say you didn't like this extraordinary ability to control other people's minds?"

"Yes, so I am a bad guy too."

"Hmm...at this non-stop pace, it looks like you've been holding back for a long time."

"That's about right. Killing them directly would disrupt order, and this extraordinary ability is more in line with my expectations..."
