Chapter 432 The Last Bait
Zachary: "Using malicious pensions to win over those irrational disabled veterans, in order to obtain an almost endless supply of candidate Blade Secret Cultists - this is the professor's conspiracy!"
When Old Jack heard this, he became a little impatient.
He didn't care about the process of the investigation, only the results, "Investigator Zagara, please don't go off topic and go straight to the point."
Zachary had no choice but to swallow back all the words he had prepared and directly replaced them with a new series of projected photos.
A villa stood in a deserted area on the outskirts of the city. The wall, which was as high as a fortress, had several large holes. The inner garden was planted with several kinds of weird, twisted and horrifying plants.
Morning glories more than ten feet high, with viscous liquid and broken limbs remaining inside the water bottle-shaped flowers——
[After testing, the liquid in the flowers contains residual components of human flesh and blood tissue, and contains some unknown element that can have a stimulant effect. 】
The tall thistles grew thorns as sharp as daggers, and the thorns on many flowers had been picked off.
[After testing, the sword stab is as sharp as a first-level blade. When the sword edge comes into contact with blood, it will produce some kind of nerve-paralyzing toxin. 】
The tops of the low apple trees bear fruits that look like human faces. Dark gray faces face the photographer directly, with completely dark eyes showing a terrifying light, and half a drop of water leaking from the corners of the exaggeratedly grinned mouths. Suspicious fruit liquid.
[According to actual combat tests, those who look directly at the face of the fruit will fall into the mental influence of a highly suspected forbidden power of the moth, entering a state similar to sleepwalking. A comatose person will lose control and go crazy after being forcibly awakened. 】
[After further experiments, if you try to forcibly pick the fruit, the human face of the fruit will fight back, releasing a scream comparable to the forbidden power of a second-order moth, forcing those who hear the scream to tear off their own hair and skin. 】
[Using strong alcohol to irrigate the roots of the plant can cause the fruit to mature and fall on its own. However, the fruit must be picked up in a container in time, otherwise the fruit will sprout root-like tentacles and escape after it falls to the ground. 】
[The human face of the ripe fruit will change into a hateful and vicious expression, with its eyes staring at the person holding the vessel. If it is not replenished with strong alcohol within three hours, the human face of the fruit will change into an angry expression. Seven seconds later, it exploded, releasing a mental influence close to the forbidden power of a third-level moth - the area of effect was about ten feet, and it could force up to seven humans to skin themselves at the same time. 】
[Note: Irrigating the fruit with a large amount of strong alcohol or reciting knowledge materials such as mathematics/physics/chemistry within ten feet of the fruit can also stimulate the fruit to turn into an angry expression. 】
From the perspective of the spectrum camera, these weird plants are all shining with mottled and colorful evil light, bewitching bright red, thick pink, and turbid gray.
Especially the mottled colors of the spiteful and vicious human-faced fruits are the most serious. The thick gray colors make it difficult to tell whether this is a black-and-white photo or a spectral scan.
"After careful investigation and bold inference by the Charlotte investigators, we searched all the way to a hidden manor outside the city."
"A large number of human remains were found at the site, several strange creations of the Evil God Stone Green Mother, and four withered sprouting corpses - after identification, the identity of these four corpses was that of Shu, the previous owner of the manor. Major Erto and his family members.”
"At the same time, we also discovered a huge amount of the residual influence of the forbidden power in the manor, especially the strongest influence of the moth's forbidden power in a dark basement forty-nine feet below the manor. We suspect that the professor was in this basement. Some extremely horrific rituals were arranged, but no ritual utensils were actually found.”
"And the first field worker who entered this basement has fallen into madness and shown partial distortion——"
Zachary showed a series of clear and bright photos. In a prison room filled with dim light, a human figure with exposed muscle fibers like a medical doll stood in a pool of blood. The shoulder blades on its back were obviously protruding. , a pair of thin cicada wings stained with blood grew on the ferocious and protruding bones.
"This suspected deformed field worker seems to still have some wisdom left, or has awakened another kind of wisdom. After it became crazy, it did not show any intention to attack. It just stood there blankly, muttering simple infatuation. The words are syllables that cannot be imitated by human vocal cords, nor do they belong to any lost language recorded by the bureau.”
"It painted dense and twisted curves on the three walls of the confinement room. Those lines looked completely irregular. They neither represented a certain image nor were mixed with forbidden power and knowledge. They seemed to be just this miserable madman. Even if we invited the bureau’s linguistic experts to analyze the crazy scribblings of people, we still couldn’t come up with any results.”
"but--"
Zachary looked back at Charlotte Holmes in the corner of the conference room, "But Investigator Charlotte put forward a different opinion. She believed that this was probably the professor using the hands of this field worker to reveal some information to us. Perhaps it is about the details of the carnival, or perhaps it is a preview of the professor's next terrorist activity - based on the professor's personality profile, we also believe that this speculation is as high as 70% possible. "
"Also, although this field worker has a deformed appearance, he has not shown any violent tendencies, and has no rejection reaction to close contact or even blood sampling - the research department strongly requests that he be kept alive to study the mystery of the deformation."
Old Jack did not speak when he heard this, and his expression did not change, making it difficult for everyone present to guess what he was thinking.
Zachary could only continue, "Thanks to the massive amount of forbidden spectrum data collected in the secret manor, we can almost be sure that this is the characteristic of the professor's forbidden power."
"We have carried out multiple carpet searches in the city - based on our character profile of the professor, we infer that his main attack direction is the city's economic, cultural and political landmarks, so we mainly searched areas that meet this condition."
"Sure enough, in front of the Palace of Westminster, outside St. Paul's Cathedral and inside the British Museum, we found extremely hidden similar moth taboo fluctuations."
"The ritual effects of these three moth taboo powers are secretive and confidential, so that anyone passing by will involuntarily ignore the ritual site, and even cannot remember that they have been here afterwards... Our field staff That's why we passed by each other many times, and even forgot the existence of this place the moment we discovered the professor's power spectrum. "
"Finally, we successfully cracked the professor's forbidden ritual and found three large-yield time bombs at the ritual site - now they are safely eliminated."
"We have reason to believe that the main threats placed by the professor in London have been eliminated!"
Old Jack smiled slightly when he heard this, "What about the Ripper with the same name as me?"
"How do you plan to catch him?"
"Please rest assured, we have set up baits and traps that the Ripper cannot refuse tonight... Now we just need to wait for him to fall into the cage."
"Oh, what bait?"
Sherlock Holmes, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "The last survivor of the Crossroads Hospital incident, John Watson."
