Chapter 329: 99: Cosmic Vision
“Hello, beautiful lady, please help me check out.”
In the lobby, an ordinary man completed the check-out procedure, carrying a backpack, glanced at the surveillance camera, smiled kindly, and then slowly left the hotel.
In less than ten minutes, Jennifer and her people arrived at the hotel.
After exchanging a few words with the hotel manager, Jennifer did not close the hotel. Instead, she took the elevator directly and stopped at every floor.
It was not until the tenth floor that her expression changed and she walked out of the elevator.
Kanis silently checked his bulletproof vest, then turned on the safety of his rifle, his palms sweating.
The people behind him looked similar.
Jennifer had a clear goal in mind. She turned a few corners and walked towards a room.
And the strange thing is that this room is not locked.
Jennifer stood in front of the door, chin resting, staring quietly at the cleaner who was cleaning slowly inside.
Canis didn’t dare to say anything, but was ready to shoot at any time.
“Don’t you have anything to say?” Jennifer walked into the room and opened her hands. Some dust from the crack in the door gathered in her palms.
The cleaner paused, turned around stiffly, revealing a pair of white eyes.
“Sir, he…” Canis and others wanted to raise their guns, but the doorway was so small that it was mostly blocked by Jennifer’s back.
Jennifer waved her hands, signaling that they need not be afraid.
The resurrected cleaner tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a provocative smile.
“If you really wanted to provoke me, why didn’t you take advantage of such a good opportunity last night?” Jennifer simulated the other party’s mentality and felt that it was a provocation that wanted to provoke, but did not dare to really tear its face with the Paladin. Or perhaps it should be said to be naughty?
The resurrected corpse stopped smiling.
“Another innocent life is on your account, rest in peace.”
She pinched the air, and the corpse’s head tilted and fell limply to the ground.
Jennifer took out a small test tube from somewhere, poured the collected white powder into it, and threw it to Canis.
“Here lies the key to the resurrection of the corpse. I smell a hint of the extraordinary. Not only the refining method, but even the raw materials should be related to the extraordinary.”
Kanis was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost dropped the ball. After it flew around in his hands for several times, he finally managed to hold it tightly with both hands with the help of several of his subordinates.
Several people were almost in a knot, and at this time, Canis saw the thick carpet on the ground.
Even if you drop it on it, it won’t break.
“Study hard, though you probably won’t be able to come up with anything.”
Jennifer said some discouraging words, and without any intention of continuing the investigation, she turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Canis left two people to deal with the body. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but did not dare to complain. He carefully put the test tube into the inner bag.
“Sir, are you saying that the voodoo man just wants to use us to make a name for himself?”
He guessed this from what Jennifer had just said to the cleaner.
“Now it seems that this is the most likely possibility, but voodoo…” Jennifer encountered some ignorant people when she traveled around the world and came to Haiti. She also came into contact with them. They all used charlatans. “It may also be that some force is using the skin of voodoo to scare people.”
Canis felt that these were enough for him to complete his task. After all, facing the extraordinary, he felt that he could not play any role. The answer he got to this point was actually similar to what they had expected before, which was good enough.
What do you call this? This is called having a mortal body and the results of an extraordinary investigation coincide with each other.
The remaining extraordinary confrontations were not something that a Karami like him could intervene in.
“Then, I’ll arrange for someone to collect the surveillance footage of this hotel and the records of that room.” Canis didn’t expect to really collect anything.
“Ah.”
Jennifer nodded indifferently.
She didn’t like the cat-and-mouse game, she just wanted to quickly deal with the man and then go back to practice with Ye Jie.
“Pray, it would be best if it doesn’t fall into my hands. At least it would be a quick death if it falls into Brand’s hands.”
Jennifer muttered to herself sinisterly.
In the shabby streets and alleys, Feidu has emerged with a new look, and even his behavior is very different.
“What the hell is this security thing? Where’s the car I parked here the day before yesterday?”
It all depends on heaven, earth and people. Perhaps it’s because he has always lived in a star-rated hotel that Fei Du has unrealistic fantasies about the local security environment.
The car that had been prepared in advance is now missing even its wheels.
In desperation, he gave up taking a taxi and walked directly to the hotel where he had checked into using this identity a few days ago.
If he was right, the authorities would definitely be looking for his previous appearance and fake identity, and would also check the hotel check-in records in the city after he checked out, so he checked into another ordinary hotel in advance using his current identity.
He was not surprised that the Wolfsbane 5.0 powder was exposed, as he couldn’t hide much anyway, so he set up a small trap and infected a cleaner, preparing to test the Paladin.
The result was not ideal. The other party was smarter than I expected and did not match the information I had collected previously.
But people always grow, so it’s not surprising. Just update the information.
“Lord Augustus, it won’t really take half a year, will it?”
Fei Du tightened his clothes, feeling that the summer in Rio was a bit cold.
night.
Anko Shirai ate the acai fruit that Maria brought. It had a peculiar taste, with a slight hint of chocolate and a hint of bitterness. It looked like a dark purple blueberry.
The TV was on and the news was replaying last night’s mass.
Two angels radiated light in the night sky, circling around each other, and specks of light descended to the earth like stars entering the mortal world.
In the holy chanting and in the close-up shots, one can see that people’s faces are becoming more rosy and the old man’s voice is becoming more sonorous and powerful, just like the starlight has a magical effect, making people return to youth.
Just this one mass made people in other cities envious and jealous, and even those in the same city who failed to catch up were filled with regret.
The most obvious result is that after the blockade was lifted early in the morning, the flow of people out of the city was very normal, and even more people came overnight after hearing the news.
Adding one plus one minus one, the number of people in the city has increased, and even more people are on their way.
They didn’t take the recent resurrection of the dead seriously, and even the president’s order for tourists to be cautious was unsuccessful.
Shirai’s mind was not on TV.
She hesitated for a moment.
She could roughly guess what Maria was going through and could even imagine how she felt.
But she didn’t expect that Maria would become the most compatible candidate she had ever met.
Shirai instinctively didn’t want to drag Maria into the vortex of extraordinary fighting, but he also didn’t want to see her desperate, blank and empty eyes.
“.According to the joint investigation between the Paladins and us, it can be confirmed that the Rocinha bombing, the Christ statue arson, and the resurrection of the dead were all gang crimes committed by the Voodoo Cult and the Ayto Gang. For their own selfish desires, they disregarded their human morality and committed unforgivable crimes. President Alves emphasized that this anti-human behavior is an indelible shame for the City of God.”
Shirai turned around and saw that Maria had woken up and was standing at the stairs, staring at the TV in a daze.
“Are you hungry?”
“.I’m not hungry.”
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Shirai calmly opened the door, took out a pizza and put it on the table. “I guess you will wake up at this time, so I ordered a pizza in advance. Banana, honey and cheese. Is it to your taste?”
“Sweet?”
“I think you need something sweet right now.”
Maria silently sat on the sofa, picked up a pizza and started eating quietly.
“If your tears fall on it, it will become salty.” Shirai took out two tissues and handed them to her.
Maria whispered a thank you, lowered her head, and finished the pizza in her hand.
After finishing the meal, Maria was silent for a long time before she asked, “Why do you think they did this?”
There was no beginning or end to this statement, but Shirai knew what she was talking about.
“They naturally have their own purpose in doing this.”
“But there’s obviously no benefit in doing this.”
“You may not see the benefits they want.”
“can you see it?”
“me?”
Shirai shook his head: “I can’t guess what they want.”
At the beginning, the Tada she arranged could still keep an eye on them, and the other party did not show any extraordinary abilities, but after the zombie incident broke out, Tada could not find any trace of the other party.
Maria didn’t seem disappointed when she heard this, but just continued to sit there quietly without saying a word.
Shirai reached out and picked up two acai fruits from the fruit plate. One was plump and round, while the other was a little damaged and did not look good.
She placed two fruits in her left and right palms and handed them to Maria.
“Now, here are two fruits. If you eat the one on the left, I will give you 500,000 yuan. From now on, you can forget the past and continue to move forward according to your preset life trajectory. I think your father and mother must want you to get out of the slums and enjoy your own life without having to carry their past. Live more easily. After all, there are still many beautiful things in the world.”
Maria didn’t move. She looked at the plump fruit on the left and said nothing, waiting for Shirai to introduce the other fruit.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Bai Jing waited for a while before slowly speaking.
“If you eat the one on the right, you will gain power. From now on, sin will be your eternal enemy. In order to destroy it, you must give up everything.”
“Your original life trajectory will be completely destroyed. Your relatives will not recognize you, and you will not be able to decide your own life and death. Your past will tightly bind your future. Your life will be destined to be heavy, and you will see the ugliest side of the world.”
After saying that, Shirai waited for Maria’s decision.
She had given others choices before, but it was undeniable that she had never explained them as clearly as this.
She doesn’t want a second Shirai Anko to appear, but she won’t stop the other party from making a choice after careful consideration.
After all, she is not Hirosue Yoshimiya, who can’t force others to arrange their future lives.
Maria’s eyes gradually brightened up: “So that’s how it is. Shirai”
“My parents always say that we should always look forward and not be trapped by the past, and this is what they try to do.”
“They have been trapped in Rocinha for the first half of their lives, so they don’t want me to be trapped there. They know very well that there is no way out.”
“Hahaha, a life spent in a muddle is like a towel dried in the sun, with no smell, just dry.”
“My mother told me that the moment I proudly showed her the perfect test paper, she saw the dawn from the dark future.”
“Now, I hope that my dawn can illuminate her, even for a moment.”
“Isn’t there a saying? Forgetting the past is equivalent to betrayal.”
Maria took the acai on the right and put it in her mouth.
This fruit is very sweet.
It tastes like the first time her mother bought it for her.
Shirai ate the one that Maria didn’t choose. The bitter taste of acai lingered in his mouth for a long time.
“.This is the thing. At present, this so-called voodoo cult does not dare to completely anger us, but it wants to provoke us, and its abilities are special. If they really want to hide, it will probably take a long time.”
In the hotel, Jennifer was doing her skin care while video chatting with Ye Jie.
“So, do I need to ask the Demon Lord to help?”
Ye Jie suggested after hearing what Jennifer said.
“Master Demon, how can she help? She’s too ugly to even look at the door.”
Jennifer didn’t hold back with her words.
“If there is any danger, she can rush forward. Although she has no strength, she won’t really die. She can try and make mistakes repeatedly.”
Ye Jie spoke these cruel words seriously.
The Demon Lord was horrified as he listened.
The weak wield their swords against the weaker ones.
I’m going to go into the holy water bottle and arrange some new programs for Tojo later.
“Where’s Ito? Did he come out?”
“Him? He didn’t show up. He probably doesn’t want to interact with us.”
Jennifer knew that Rio officials were also looking for him. Since he didn’t come out on his own initiative, it meant that he didn’t want to be disturbed. Although she was not afraid of the other party, there was no need to really find the person out.
After all, it would be quite troublesome for an arsonist to really want to take revenge on society.
Ye Jie thought for a few seconds and said, “If possible, try to take the initiative to contact the other party and establish a relationship.”
“Huh? Aren’t you on good terms with those vixens? Don’t they all listen to the hypocrites?” Jennifer was curious.
“Ito doesn’t have a deep relationship with the fox.”
“Okay, I’ll tell Brand to look for Ito as well.”
“Ah.”
Ye Jie looked up at the sky with a hint of worry.
The nearest starry sky felt strange to her.
She could always see only one moon, and it was full of a friendly atmosphere.
But the universe is different.
She could vaguely feel that there seemed to be something in the universe that was spying on this planet with malicious intent.
I had already noticed this feeling when I was in Tokyo, and it has become more and more obvious recently.
She didn’t even dare to look at the starry sky for too long, fearing that the unknown being would discover that she knew Him.
In addition to that sense of malice, one can also feel another “sneaky and righteous” gaze.
At least they didn’t have any malicious intent, and most of them were looking in the direction of South Australia with a purpose, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Anyway, she feels that she can’t afford to offend either of them, so she tries so hard to integrate every bit of strength.
“It would be nice if Master was here.”
