Invincible Chapter 728
? Kane likes farming because it is stable.
And when it comes to the fastest way to get rich, then it is robbery in various situations.
Kane, who killed Jamie the hamster in a brutal way and accepted his extraordinary wealth, went from being almost poor to a wealthy class in no time.
Many people know that Jamie has two types of wealth, one is mainly real estate. In this kind of city, he owns a lot of real estate, and he earns a lot of money just as an apartment. In fact, those The real estate is also the location of each safe house, and the rented rooms are an excellent cover for the safe house.
Another type of wealth is gold, silver, jewelry, and cash in the ordinary sense. Jamie doesn't believe in banks, or once his wealth is linked to banks, he will attract financial sharks, and his operation of pretending to be an ordinary person in a low-key manner has basically failed.
In fact, Jamie also has a third type of wealth, the extraordinary type, which is mixed in this dilapidated shop, but no one has ever noticed it. This is what Jamie is most proud of, and it can be regarded as a different kind of dazzling Get rich, after all, it is hundreds of years of accumulation, and the money obtained from selling through special channels can probably buy half a city.
In Kane's eyes, most of these supernatural items are improperly stored. Fortunately, this is a super-magic world, and the environment has its own nourishing effect. Except for a small part of special nature, harsh preservation methods, or lack of common sense, so that the zodiac signs are restrained and put together because the efficacy is greatly reduced or even scrapped. There is still room for redemption.
Kane, who has successfully mastered all of Jamie's secrets, knows that even in today's bad weather, he has less than 10 hours of safe time to transfer Jamie's wealth.
At the latest tomorrow morning, someone will become suspicious of Jamie's absence, which will trigger a series of wealth locking mechanisms. If Jamie does not unlock it in person within 72 hours, the main wealth will be transformed into a revenge bounty.
Compared with rushing back to the metropolis overnight tonight and going to the hospital to contact the severely injured survivor of the Montenegro Prison accident, Kane of course dealt with Jamie's wealth first.
Jamie's wealth is of great significance to his help, and the disappearance of prisoners in Black Mesa Prison is just a commission.
Although the client did not know in advance that the water would be so deep, and that the Catholic Atonement Sect, an influential organization in the entire country, was involved, the fact is that he, who was involved in the incident, had automatically become cannon fodder for testing the waters.
Now what supports the employer to continue in-depth exploration is nothing more than the fluke mentality of wanting to make up for the loss, or even completely overthrow the former partner.
Employers themselves know that this idea is a little unrealistic,
Therefore, it is emphatically pointed out that we will not pay the bill for the deepening and expansion of the incident, but require that enough is enough to control the 'degree'.
There is no doubt that this is a request that is harsh to the point of nonsense. After all, it is the investigators who are at an extreme disadvantage now. I have never heard of the party who is crushed by the general trend, relies on mouse scurrying, finds loopholes, and wins staged victories, has the ability to control the situation and control the 'speed'.
What needs to be pointed out here is that the so-called phased victory is to grasp some relatively important information as a bargaining chip, so that the decision-makers of the Redemption faction agree to end the incident after weighing it, including giving Phoenix an explanation, and not continuing to deliberately target the investigators. or kill.
This is actually a profit-oriented stop loss choice. If you continue to make trouble, the loss is too large, so you compromise.
That's what Phoenix, and indeed other investigators, want.
But not what Kane wanted.
What Kane wants is to completely overthrow the Redemption faction.
The reason was not that the Redemption faction offended him, or that they could make a fortune after being overthrown, but that in Kane's eyes, the Redemption faction was just a clue that might involve an old evil god.
Only by grasping this clue would it be possible to obtain some information about the evil god that he wanted.
In this world, the evil god is so powerful that it is almost invincible, but because of this, its truest and most important side has also been exposed.
Therefore, the information about evil gods obtained in this world is more valuable than killing an incarnation or clone in other worlds.
This is the consciousness of Kaneqian's echo body. He will not hesitate to sacrifice, but also to dig out the secrets of the evil god, and pass it along with his own life experience and experience information to the deity, so as to increase the chances of winning for the deity in destroying the enemy.
That being the case, there is no hurry. Even if the seriously wounded person is silenced, at most it is just a lost opportunity to know some useful information in advance. The Redemption Sect will not let him go, and hire external forces to deal with him by offering rewards and other means After the failed actions one by one, he probably rolled up his sleeves himself, and if he hadn't taken the initiative to join the Redemption Sect at that time, he could still get information from the members he sent to trouble him.
And Jamie's wealth, the biggest gain that can be brought is actually time.
He has the confidence to earn wealth, but he has no spare time, and the step-by-step development not only does not meet his current needs. A more feasible method is nothing more than completing the bloody accumulation in the initial stage with a ruthless heart like many well-known big figures in ancient and modern China and abroad.
On the way from Jamie's grocery store to the West Side mansion, Kane asked Jenny to drive, while he himself tinkered with the supernatural items selected from Jamie in the back seat, preparing for the possible battles that would follow.
No one spoke in the car, and the atmosphere seemed dull and tense, but Jenny felt much better than before. Perhaps because I finally accepted the fact that 'Kevin is already a monster', many things didn't matter.
What makes Jenny unhappy now is not only another upcoming adventure, but also the gloomy future of her family. With her adult thinking, of course she understands that because of Kane's extraordinary ability, her family will also be unhappy in the future. Don't even think about living a stable life. Even if trouble doesn't come, Kane will probably find trouble on his own until he gets the social status and benefits that match his ability.
Green Mansion, a very famous building in Xicheng District, even the street where it is located is named after it.
This mansion is very stylish, with its own garden square. The land here is not expensive, but it is also an urban area. The owner of the Green Mansion is so extravagant that he can set aside a large area of open space for a square, which shows his wealth.
The reputation of the Green family in the local area is not good, not because of being rich and unkind, but because his family is always involved in some mysterious incidents. The family members went crazy, died a few times, and even doubled their salaries. A servant on the night shift.
Local people generally believe that this is a cursed family, and even those close to it are prone to bad luck, ranging from serious illness to death.
At night, people would rather take a detour than pass by the vicinity of this great house.
Coupled with the strong wind and rain, it is easy to understand that there is no one and no cars near the mansion.
For this reason, the car of Kane and his party had to be parked far away, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.
"Should I also go together?" Jenny explained again: "I mean, it is basically certain that we will encounter supernatural phenomena. Will I become a drag?"
"Yes, but I'm even more worried about keeping you." Kane said and pointed at Amy, "It will do its best to act as your shield, so there is only one thing you need to pay attention to later, and that is no matter what happens Whatever, don't run around."
"Understood."
Kane got out of the car first, and stretched out his right hand, holding a certain kind of medicinal herb powder in his palm, and then these powders were simmering in his hand, emitting a lot of smoke.
At the same time, the rain fell on him, evaporated into water vapor, and mixed with this smoke to form an extraordinary mixture - hot air hookah.
At this time, Kane let Jenny get out of the car, and drove the hot air hookah to wrap around Jenny. Amy and himself did the same.
To Jenny, it feels like wearing a weightless transparent plastic poncho. The rain cannot penetrate, but it will not slip off. Instead, it will melt into the hot air and hookah, making it more solid.
After that, Jenny followed Kane to the mansion on foot.
The garden square uses well-trimmed shrubs as the outer wall. Even in late autumn and early winter, it still has a dark green color. When viewed from a distance during the day, it has a kind of vitality like verdant pines and cypresses.
However, on a rainy night, it is a different feeling, especially after walking into it, it feels like being in the depths of the black forest.
In addition to the sound of rushing rain, some rustling sounds can be heard faintly, matched with the shaking of the branches and leaves, as if something is rushing among them.
This made Jenny very scared. If the needles in her head were not still working, she would have been born screaming.
"It's an evil dog, a kind of undead monster. They are very sensitive to the breath of living people, but they can't find us and won't jump out."
Kane's voice sounded in Jenny's mind at the right time.
This reassured Jenny a lot, but she also became more and more curious about Kane. She felt that the changes caused by an extraordinary event were not enough to explain what happened to Kevin. Kane knew too much , and can obviously feel the familiar characteristics of that kind of technique. Could it be that after mastering a new technique, you can directly master it without practice?
Although there were more and more questions in her heart, as an adult who had experienced many things, Jenny would not ask them directly, especially at times like this.
Taking a step back, even if what she saw was not Kevin at this time, but a monster in Kevin's skin like Jamie before, what good would it do for her to expose it?
At least this monster, saved her, protected her, and was doing everything in his power to save Lana. She has friends who are investigators. Apart from the apprentice Kevin, Sam also has good friends who are investigators. But at critical moments like this involving danger, how many people are willing to stand up to help, or have the ability to help?
Therefore, although there is no such succinct proverb in this world as "a man who observes is not a disciple", many people understand the truth. Thanks to the golden needle, Jenny can always maintain a calm state of thinking, and naturally she will not be emotional.
Walking along the road, the whole mansion of Green was gradually revealed. The time was around 20:40, but the whole mansion was pitch-black, and there were no brightly lit rooms.
After walking for a while, the situation changed again. There was light coming out of the window, which was the kind of light from the old-fashioned wall lamps that are often seen in corridors.
Jenny also saw moving lights, as if someone was walking in the corridor with a horse lantern.
Kane laughed a few times watching it. This kind of atmosphere made people tense, and he had seen many operations to pave the way for the real means.
Dealing with ordinary people is indeed very effective, and no further actions are required. The creation of this kind of atmosphere alone can make people overly nervous, and quickly consume energy and physical fitness without knowing it. When they are really in danger, But I found that I was very sleepy and tired.
However, when encountering someone like him, not only can't achieve good results, but it will expose information and be targeted.
Kane took out a ruby the size of a little finger, which was one of Jamie's collections. Gem is a common material for mages to cast spells, and ruby is often matched with some fire spells.
Extraordinary flames ignited in Kane's palms. Clenching his hands tightly, rubbing and twisting, the ruby turned into powder.
After that, like blowing sand, she sprinkled it on Amy's body of ashes, and the fine luminescent dust penetrated through the hookah and clothes, and stuck directly to the body of ashes.
After a while, Amy stepped forward and pressed Jenny's left chest corresponding to her heart. After that, Jenny felt the heat spread from the heart to her limbs. It felt like taking a hot bath, which was refreshing. Couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, I heard Kane's voice echoing in my mind again: "As long as Amy is around you, you will not see illusions again."
Only then did Jenny realize that what she saw just now was actually an illusion.
The real situation is actually very common. Some rooms are lit, while others are dark, just like what can be seen in ordinary residential buildings at night. The key is that there is no such eerie and mysterious special effect that confuses people's minds.
Follow Kane and come to a closed door. On the side of the mansion, it should be a corner door like a servant passage.
Jenny saw Kane standing in front of the door and watching for a while, then took out a small leather bag, grabbed a handful of sand-like powder from it, and then threw it on the door.
The powder hit the door to form glowing spots, and then spread like fire on the cloth, with a visible ring of fire spreading from one point to the next.
However, the door itself was unharmed, and what appeared to be an invisible membrane had been burned away.
Kane entrusted: "When you meet someone later, if the other party does all kinds of crazy behaviors, such as abusing, begging, or doing things, don't panic, the other party is probably under the illusion. In their eyes, you are a hideous monster. What you say is also a vicious curse."
"Then what should I do?"
"Do nothing. I will deal with the situation. If I can't handle it, Amy will protect you."
"OK."
At this time, the invisible membrane on the door had been burned away, and Jenny saw Kane take out a golden key with no teeth at all, insert it into the keyhole, and with a twist, the door opened.
Sliding the door to enter the mansion, looking at the layout inside, it really is a servant's residence, the corridor is narrow, the rooms are next to each other, full of the smell of dormitory, there is no decent decoration, but it is very clean.
Kane took out a very old-fashioned compass, opened it to look at it, and then chose the path to move forward.
Jenny had seen this before, Kane scavenged it from Jamie's grocery store. She half-jokingly asked if it was the legendary compass of doom. Unexpectedly, Kane said that to a certain extent, this understanding is correct. Although it actually refers to the gathering point of abnormal extraordinary power, for ordinary people, don’t It is the right choice to interact with things in that area.
Jenny found that Kane walked in this strange and quiet mansion very dignifiedly, just like walking in his own home, he didn't deliberately lighten his steps, and he didn't worry that the door of a certain room would suddenly open and someone would come out.
However, whenever Kane wants to pass through a door, he is always very careful and has to look carefully. Sometimes he will sprinkle a pinch of fire sand to burn the invisible membrane like he did when he entered the mansion. Lose.
This situation reminded her of what Sam had said to her when she was not mad: "The door is a very special kind of existence in the transcendent event. Before it is opened, you will not know whether it is heaven or hell behind it."
Jenny always thought that it was just some kind of metaphorical statement, but now it seems that it is probably a statement.
Under the leadership of Kane, the three went around smoothly and came to the hall corresponding to the main entrance of the mansion.
As the front hall, it can be regarded as the interior face of the mansion. The design and decoration are extremely exquisite and luxurious. It lacks the rumors that a lot of expensive natural materials are used.
However, in Kane's eyes, there are only two most unusual things.
First, the marble used for the floor and pillars is a material called sea wave stone, which not only has a natural curve like flowing water, but also has alternate colors of wave white and ocean blue. come.
Second, on the stairs corresponding to the front hall and the main entrance, there is an antique grand grandfather clock. Inside the translucent crystal cover, you can see the clock parts inside, each of which is as exquisite as a work of art. On the plane of the disc, there are etched patterns and patterns.
Moreover, the structure of this clock seems to be deliberately designed in a complicated style. The multi-level, gear teeth of the wheel shaft mesh and rotate, making people dizzy.
Jenny was also surprised by these two unique features. If the material of the wave stone and the environment created by the light surprised her, then what the grandfather clock brought was mysterious and terrifying, because the ticking The sound of the bell seemed to be beating on people's hearts, clear and shocking, with an inexplicable sense of rhythm.
Kane, on the other hand, paid more attention to the content of the dial, including the symbols representing the scale.
Unexpectedly, very unexpectedly, Kane never thought that in such a place, even if it was only a part of the artifact, the dial of this clock is indeed a part of the artifact.
The scale of life, the symbols on the dial, represent the positions of all kinds of life in this universe, and the curves on the dial are the connections between each other. This is the essential connection interpreted from the perspective of laws, and those who can fully grasp and use it can become the master of life.
As for the other parts of the clock, although they are also extraordinary items, the grade has dropped by more than one level. Kane speculated that most of the self-righteous guys had a sense of forcefully interpreting the contents of the dial, and the spells that they fiddled with were not deciphered by one person, but by many people, and finally fiddled with such a bloated system.
Although such a final combination still has a strong magical effect, Kane commented that the most powerful effect of burning the piano and cooking the crane, the dial, was actually suppressed.
After standing in front of the bell for 5 minutes, Kane said: "Come out, since you have lived here for many years without being confused by the sound of the bell, you should be able to sense my strength and send Lana And this dial to me, I will make this clock and this villa truly merge, and become a mysterious house that can be summoned at any time, but can stay in the shadow plane for a long time."
"What if I refuse?" An erratic voice came from the hall, very neutral, and it was hard to tell the gender.
Kane smiled: "I will destroy this place, leave an observation mark on you, and then watch the chase and escape drama performed by you and the Hound of Tindalos. If you are lucky enough to find a refuge in the corner of time and space like this , I will come and sabotage again, until you are torn to pieces by the hounds."
