Chapter 1103 An Unnatural Face... Disguise?
"Hehehe, this is something only a magician can see. How did you figure it out?"
"Which unscrupulous bastard taught you magic? Tsk, if you want to learn magic, you can come to me. I've dealt with plenty of devils and demons, and I can definitely get you a good price... I mean, a good magic pool."
"As the world's only superhero, you must be the kind of person who's very valuable, right?"
Lorenzo said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
He genuinely believed that Chen En's soul was very valuable. If he were to find a demon to sign a contract in exchange for magic power, he would be 100% able to obtain the highest quality and quantity of magic power.
If we let him go, he can get a lot of kickbacks as the intermediary.
It's a pity that Chen En seems to have found an unorthodox method to get this done, which is really...
They say you shouldn't let good things go to outsiders, so why not share the benefits with your brothers? Aren't we teammates?
He had originally intended to invite Chen En inside for a while.
However, Chen En had already seen through Lorenzo's dirty and despicable methods and had no intention of going in. He simply stood outside Lorenzo's magic stronghold and calmly said.
"Lorenzo, your time is running out."
"Give me a straight answer, whether you can find it or not."
"If we can't find them, then I'll just say one thing."
Damn it, give me my money back!
How could you do this to us? Give us our money back!
Hearing this, Lorenzo pointed at Chen En with some regret.
"You little glutton, you want it already, don't you?"
"Alright, I'll show you my precious treasure."
As he spoke, he took out various magical items and mysterious symbols from different occult systems from his pocket, among which was a particularly conspicuous bellflower symbol.
Chen En kept wondering where he had seen this bellflower print before.
It didn't quite resemble the bellflower seal that Lorenzo had tied to his blasphemous cross at the Suzuki Foundation's grand exhibition hall, but I couldn't recall it at the moment, so I put it aside for the time being.
At this moment, they were above Chen En.
Koizumi Akako sat sideways in the middle of the broom, her hands supporting her on either side, her legs swinging back and forth as she curiously stared at Lorenzo, wanting to see what kind of tricks this unconventional great magician could pull.
That's right, the great magician.
Although Lorenzo may look like an old conman, he actually has real skills.
With all sorts of miscellaneous mystical systems combined, this person is at least a Grand Magician, only slightly inferior to a witch like her, after all, they are a mystical clan passed down through generations.
Don't ask, the answer is: why should our hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation lose to your decades of speculation and profiteering?
"See this? This formation is the culmination of my work, combining various esoteric systems."
Lorenzo said with great enthusiasm.
"It can completely bypass the flaws in ordinary prophecy magic, such as the confusion, instability, and misdirection caused by the interference between the magic power of different magical items, and directly lead to the answer."
"If you want to learn, I can teach you, but you'll need to add a little something extra..."
Upon hearing this, Chen En simply said...
"If you can write a book about what you've said, I can pay you more."
Write it down in a book and have Koizumi Akako take it back to see if there are any problems.
If someone who knows absolutely nothing about magic were to actually try to learn Lorenzo's so-called masterpiece of prophetic magic, he would likely be completely swindled, suffering a bloody head at best.
Lorenzo became interested and simply said...
"Really? Okay, you wait, I'll get you a copy later."
As he spoke, he used incantations from various intertwined occult systems to make prophecies.
First, he would talk about Taoism, then Zen, and then some magic, mixing in Shinto and Taoist theories. It was all sorts of strange and wonderful things. Finally, he would add the phrase "In the north there is Jesus Christ, in the south there is Amitabha Buddha."
If Buddha and Christ knew, they might come over from the movie set of "Saint Seiya" next door and beat him up.
However, it must be said that this has indeed been very effective.
Under Koizumi Akako's somewhat surprised gaze.
The prophetic magic unfolded before everyone like a magic mirror.
However, no specific images have appeared yet.
Lorenzo chuckled twice and said.
"Batman, I know you must have installed surveillance cameras everywhere."
"Send me the image of that prop that might be misleading me. I'll use that as a medium to present the real image, and then we can use that as a basis to pinpoint the exact location!"
Upon hearing this, Chen En frowned slightly, but still took out the image from one of the surveillance cameras and transmitted it via MMS to the unused phone he had prepared, then tossed it aside.
The phone flew through the air in a graceful arc before landing in Lorenzo's hand.
The North American exorcist raised an eyebrow.
You like to do unnecessary things, kid?
Without giving it much thought, he directly projected the MMS video playing on his phone onto the mirror-like prophecy magic, instantly making the low-resolution surveillance footage appear clear.
Just as Chen En had previously guessed.
Indeed, someone used the ability to obscure their presence and, relying on the fact that it wouldn't be noted by others or surveillance footage, brazenly and openly planted a bomb in that black luxury car.
The person was wearing a black hoodie and a black mask, and even had a pair of sunglasses hanging in their breast pocket.
It seems that it was too dark at night, and he couldn't see anything with sunglasses on, so he didn't wear them. Does that mean his eyes were exposed at this moment, allowing Chen En to see them?
But just seeing his eyes made Chen En's brows furrow slightly.
The other person's skin was clearly abnormal, carrying a strange and eerie feeling.
Just like the fake man in the mockumentary called "The Mandela Record" that Chen En had seen before his time travel, this guy gave him a feeling that something was wrong with him, but there was nothing about him that was different from a human.
The uncanny valley effect can trigger in observant people...
However, Lorenzo and Koizumi Akako, who were standing nearby, were clearly not as observant as Chen En, who was Batman, and they failed to notice anything amiss.
The great magician from North America continued casting spells, saying with a grin.
"Alright, let me see where this guy is right now?"
He made an odd mudra on his hand.
The prophetic imagery immediately changed again.
Then a large bridge came into view.
The man who planted the bomb in the black luxury car was riding a motorcycle through the bustling streets toward the bridge, seemingly intending to cross it to somewhere else.
"Rainbow Bridge..."
Forcibly suppress the uncanny valley effect in your heart.
Chen En narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of disapproval.
"Is this guy heading towards Tokyo Port?"
Chapter 1104 The High-Speed Chase on the Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge, spanning Tokyo Bay, has been a battleground for street racing since ancient times.
Therefore, when Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department members are short of targets, they often come here to stake out people at fixed times and locations. In addition, they also deploy patrol personnel here and send patrol cars to patrol back and forth every once in a while.
The two officers dispatched to patrol the Rainbow Bridge area today are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.
Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato.
Although the two had essentially established a relationship during the previous bombing incident that threatened the safety of the entire city, when they were alone together, Takagi Wataru would still feel nervous and unsure of what to say.
He turned his head and glanced at Miwako Sato beside him.
The female police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division had already pulled over and was waiting for the motorcycle gang to pass by so she could finish her day's work and go home to rest.
Upon seeing this, Wataru Takagi couldn't help but say something.
"Miwako, I want to say..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Several figures sped past in a flash, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Those were several speeding motorcycles that shouldn't be on this road.
Just one glance was enough to tell that it definitely fell under the category of motorcycle modification. Although normally the criminal investigation department shouldn't interfere, as patrol officers, this was within their jurisdiction.
Without saying a word, Sato Miwako stepped on the gas and followed immediately.
She even took the time to ask Takagi Wataru, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to her.
"What were you trying to say to me?"
Takagi Wataru hesitated for a moment, then swallowed back the words he was about to say, and simply said...
"No, it's nothing."
Although Sato Miwako was somewhat puzzled, she did not ask any further questions.
Takagi Wataru is an adult, so he naturally knows when to speak and when not to. It might not be anything important, so he plans to wait until after the patrol is over to talk about it.
After temporarily setting aside Takagi Wataru's matter, Sato Miwako focused her energy mainly on driving.
