Invincible Chapter 731
? Kane, Jenny and Lana came out of the hotel and chose to walk.
According to the information Kane obtained from the black Jamie, many taxi drivers in this city are part-time 'eyeliners', or in other words, two companies control the taxi industry in this city, and behind these two companies, They all stand with extraordinary organizational forces.
This city is called Paradise City, but it is not a paradise for ordinary people, but for witches and warlocks. It feels like a real-life Salem to Kane.
Now the time is past 22:30. After a day of tossing, the three of them are not in good condition and exhausted. However, it is precisely because of this that they need a safe house that is reassuring.
Kane persuaded Jenny and Lana in this way, asking them to persevere, to be more specific, walking about 6 kilometers in the cold rainy night.
After walking for more than an hour, when it was close to midnight, I finally arrived at the place, an old apartment building with a history of more than 30 years.
This is one of the top safe houses Jamie has furnished for himself. The so-called top level means that no one knows about it except him, and if he chooses to live here, he will definitely change his appearance and not show others with his usual appearance.
In Kane's opinion, the best thing about this safe house is the design. When it was built, it had a mezzanine. The end result is that there are two rooms, which are obviously in this apartment building, but there are no ordinary doors and windows, and no one knows their existence.
The caretaker of the apartment seemed to be very used to all kinds of people coming in and out. Even at midnight, he only glanced at the three of Kane who came in, and then continued to watch the talk show on the small TV with joy.
Take the old elevator straight to the top 5th floor, then turn left to the end of the corridor, Kane takes out the key to open the room numbered 512.
He had been prepared for a long time, when he came out from Jamie, he had already taken the key.
The internal layout of the room is very simple, with kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom, the total usable area is 110 square meters. For Paradise City, a large residential area, it is the most common apartment house for singles and two-person families.
The decoration and furniture in the room also adhere to the medium-to-low standard of "no top, no bottom". The only feature is simplicity and a little warmth.
Jenny and Lana looked at the room carefully, while Kane just glanced twice before heading straight to the kitchen where the secret door was located.
The kitchen looks ordinary, but the cabinet next to the door is a secret door,
When opened, the cabinet turns to reveal a portal juxtaposed with the kitchen door.
This is one of the ingenious features of the safe house design, separated by a wall, it will be considered as a neighbor's house, but in fact there is a mezzanine. The mezzanine is a passage, and there are vertical ladders leading to the upper attic. This attic is a real safe house, which is adjacent to and cleverly combined with the elevator room.
The furnishing in the safe room is more and more simple, but emergency items, such as medicine, easy-to-store food, bottled water, commonly used tools, and even guns and knives, are all available.
Kane checked briefly and nodded in satisfaction. With his current ability, the specially prepared and built safe house may not be much better than this ready-made safe house.
"You guys rest first, I still have some things to do, if I miss tonight, I won't have a chance."
Lana wanted to have a good chat with Kane, but Jenny held her back and shook her head, indicating that now is not the time.
Well, it's okay to talk to Jenny first, after all, the two are actually 'sisters' who are closer than girlfriends.
When Kane left the apartment, he did not take the usual route, but took the window instead of jumping directly, but used the rain leak pipe as a rope, sliding-braking-sliding, relying on superb skills and body coordination, light and vigorous When it reaches the ground, it's like hanging on the wire.
First, I walked Sansiaojie, and then picked up a pickup in an underground garage.
This is also Jamie's legacy, a similar legacy that exists in every area of Paradise City.
The reason why Jamie showed such insecurity is because he had the unbearable past of stealing the secret code, betraying the sect, being chased and killed three times, and narrowly surviving each time.
Jamie stayed in Paradise City for the longest time, mainly because this place is not a good place. The supernatural forces here are intertwined and restrain each other, but they are very hostile to foreign counterparts. Jamie took advantage of this special environment, coupled with his own With the improvement of his strength and the choice of the correct path (intelligence collection in line with the world, trade of stolen goods, handling of chores), he has gained a place, and he has integrated into the city, and he has settled down.
But the lessons left in the past are too profound, and he still tried his best to leave all kinds of escape routes for himself. He didn't expect to provoke Kane, the evil star, and after killing him directly, he searched his soul thoroughly, so that his body and soul were completely destroyed. They were also mastered by Kane.
Kane is suspicious by nature, and has experienced incidents where the living were plotted by the dead. Once the important information is not in place, it is very likely that he will be tricked by the complicated arrangements of the dead, especially when it comes to property inheritance. , the simple principle of man-made financial death can attract new powerful enemies.
Because of this, Kane has always maintained a high level of vigilance, and used Jamie's legacy as much as possible in isolation.
For example, if you use the safe house, you would rather walk than use Jamie's vehicle.
But now Jamie's car is used to take out the extraordinary supplies from the grocery store, but it will not be taken back to the safe house where Lana and Jenny live, but will be stored in the underground garage together with the car.
Although it is a super magic world, according to Jamie's social status and status in the super world, it is difficult to get good super magic items and materials, and the prices are often extremely expensive. With all the savings added up, it's nowhere near a full pickup.
Kane's trip went smoothly. At a little after 1:00 in the morning, he had already parked the pickup back in the garage and closed the door and locked it.
It stands to reason that by now, today's operation should be over, people have been rescued, and the harvest is also very good. Even if you don't consider lurking for a while to digest resources, you should at least stop for half a day to recover and recuperate.
However, people are greedy, and this greed is often supported by sufficient reasons.
This is the case for Kane. The embarrassing situation he is facing now is that he has no money.
For elite investigators like him, although the charges are scary every time they go on a mission, the frequency of missions is not high. Basically, they don't open for half a year, and they only pay for one year after opening.
In addition, the cost is high, the more high-end investigators are, the less they will be satisfied with using ordinary weapons and equipment to face cases, and the prices of all items that have anything to do with the extraordinary are outrageously expensive.
Of course, there is a lot of water in it, but who told you that you don't know how to do it, and you lack channels, but the demand is still rigid, and whoever you don't kill?
And Kevin's expenses are one heavier than other investigators. There is a master's family to support. Although the master's wife and daughter are all in bed, Kevin is still doing a good job in terms of money supply. .
Like the mental institution where Sam was, top notch.
Investigators often deal with mental patients, and they are also very aware of the dark side of mental hospitals. It can be said that in this world, at least 60% of mental hospitals have the kind of good people who go in and treat them. The 'criminal treatment' hospital.
And the so-called top-notch ones are for the sake of money. Even if the patients throw shit around every day, they will be served by a dedicated person, and they will not be abused. Earning this money, right?
Jenny is able to support herself, but the problem is that Jenny also has a brother who is useless and elderly parents.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of bad things, but you are afraid of bad people. There is a gangster in the family who is not stingy, loses and fights for three days and five days, life is very difficult and comfortable, so Jenny has to help her parents from time to time, or go to the police station to pick up her younger brother, and she does not know how much bail and fines she has to pay.
And Lana has to go to school, which is also expensive. Although Lana also does odd jobs from time to time, the money is at most enough for her living expenses, and the tuition fee needs to be calculated separately.
As for the loan, I'm sorry, one of the far-reaching effects of Lana's previous extraordinary experience is that her personal reputation in the bank and insurance has dropped to an unwelcome level. Tributary water, don't try to raise your reputation.
In addition, after Kane took over Kevin's body, he stayed in the hospital for nearly a hundred days, and it was all money, so Kane really doesn't have much money in his pocket now.
Didn't the disappearance case in Montenegro Prison end in stages, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in greenbacks?
That's right, but the money Kane has basically advanced in advance. Don't forget that the cool polymer materials he used, the armor that looks like the lightning in the alloy equipment, and the knives made of special metal materials are all laboratory materials. At the same level, hundreds of thousands are really not expensive, and there is also a favor from Phoenix, otherwise, even if he has money, he has no way to obtain materials of this level.
Speaking of this, tonight's experience also proved that this set of equipment should be upgraded. He was wearing a vest-style breastplate tonight. Unfortunately, the butcher's punch was a blunt blow, and the armor's defense against such blows was not enough. Strong, with the energy superconducting system, the point strike can be spread into a surface strike in the first time, thus achieving a better protection effect.
This is thanks to a batch of extraordinary resources obtained from Jamie, otherwise, not to mention equipment upgrades, it would take a lot of trouble to attack the Green Mansion, and it may even escape by crawling and crawling, and fall into the dilemma of hard recuperation.
Imagine, two weak beauties, carrying a seriously wounded person, wandering in a strange city with looming murderous intentions, it is still midnight when it is raining...
Therefore, Kane is no longer a need, but a hunger and thirst. He wants to take the opportunity to get more to strengthen himself, so as to gain protection and a basic sense of security.
In this case, he can also see worldly wealth and money.
So after thinking about it, he took another risk, went to another point, picked up another car, and visited Jamie's grocery store for the third time.
This time, it was to fetch Jamie's body.
Kane originally planned to make Jamie's corpse into a puppet to act as a 'shadow', and he even completed the preparatory work, including the method of killing him and planting a 'fire' in his body.
However, after meeting the butcher in the mansion, Kane fell in love with the new and hated the old.
Jamie's special method makes his corpse better than ordinary flesh and blood, and after being made into a flesh and blood golem, it has a higher growth limit. But compared to the butcher's demigod number one, it's nothing.
The arrangements he made in Jamie's body couldn't compare to the fire element infection caused by the 8-layer ignition effect.
Of course, even so, Jamie's corpse should not be wasted, Jenny and Lana still lack guardians!
But before that, Jamie's corpse has another use, which is why Kane didn't carry it before, but made another trip specifically for it. He suspects that Jamie's corpse has a positioning passive.
Speaking of this, it involves the secret tome that Jamie stole back then.
In Kane's eyes, this secret tome is actually one of the handwritten copies of the well-known strange book "Necronomicon" in the world of Cthulhu, and it is broken chapters.
The original author of "Necronomicon" was Abdullah Alhazad, an Arab poet, who was born at the end of the 7th century AD, completed the book in 730 AD, and died soon after.
It is generally accepted that Alhazad was already insane when he was writing this book.
This is normal in the world of Cthulhu. According to the thinking logic of ordinary people, there is no ability to describe the various aspects of the old rulers. Therefore, the madness in the eyes of mortals can be said to be a necessary state.
The main content of this book, including summoning/sending away Azathoth, summoning/sending away Cthugha, summoning/sending away Hastur, summoning/sending away Nygtar, summoning/sending away Shabu Ni Grath, Summon/Send Yog Sothoth, Touch Ghoul, Touch Sandstalker, Touch Nyarlathotep, Dominate, Curse of Azathoth, Dust of Suleiman, Old Seal , Powder of Ibn Kaz, Resurrection of the Dead, Withering, Summoning/Controlling Byakhee, Summoning/Controlling the Spirit of Fire, Summoning/Controlling Servants of Outer Gods, Seal of Viri...
The content of the manuscript is not so rich, especially the broken chapters, which means that only a part of the thirty chapters of the original work is included. The reason for this is that damage is not the main reason, but that the copyists are not capable enough to fully translate the original work. Many of them have added their own understanding, or even speculation, so that the various copies can be said to be good and bad.
In Kane's eyes, the original book was an inferior magic book, and the transcripts were even more false, and many of them went to his grandma's house.
Jamie actually achieved some results by relying on such a poor book. Kane can only say that Jamie's life's luck has probably been spent on this book, and that's why he has achieved some results with a low probability of being angry.
Kane even thinks that this is the reason why the Zhiyuan Society where Jamie was originally never gave up chasing and killing him.
Because every time he chases and kills, his performance surprises the other party. How many people practice the secret code, either make no progress, or go crazy to death, but Jamie is alive and kicking, getting stronger and stronger, whether it is practice experience or himself, All very valuable.
Kane felt that it was precisely because of this that Jamie was able to escape undead over and over again.
But now Jamie is dead. The balance was also broken. Kane thought that the Zhiyuan Society would be the fastest to be found. After all, only this organization knew about Jamie's true roots and paid special attention to him.
Driving a half-new car, Kane entered Nancheng District.
If there are slums in heaven, then Nancheng District is one of them.
People who live here are not poor, but messy.
They basically work in neighboring cities, and they are engaged in many low-level social jobs with meager salaries, families to support, or encountering various difficulties, so they can only move here. From a certain point of view, it is just like It is a nature to not be able to afford to live in the city and to live in the suburbs.
Because of the mess, it is chaotic, and because of the chaos, the law and order is not good, and those who have a way have moved away, so they are getting poorer and poorer.
Jamie's 'home' is here, and there is even a family member, a deaf and dumb fat woman. It is said that Jamie took him in back then, and he was not married, and lived together in such a foolish way for more than ten years.
Kane, who has mastered Jamie's secret, knows that the fat black woman is not his wife at all, but a thug hired by Jamie for a long time, and also a murderer.
Jamie has a lot of evidence of this fat black woman whose real name is Mel, and she manages food, pay, and salary, and only one requirement is to take care of her family.
Mel was playing Wild West with a black man when Kane arrived. Kane looked at Mel's 'tonnage', then looked at the figure of the black man under him sympathetically, threw Jamie's skin in front of Mel who was about to go mad, and said, "Jamie has already Now here, are you going to follow in his footsteps, or take back your freedom?"
Mel stared at Jamie's skin with eyes like cow eggs. The black man under her also recognized what Kane threw over at this moment, and he shrank in fright, and was about to scream. Meierhai's bowl-sized fist was overwhelmed.
'boom! ’ I had a concussion directly, and my head was still bouncing back and forth on the Simmons mattress, and I passed out.
Mel didn't intend to wrap himself in a bath towel or anything, so he stood up naked and faced Kane. He was about 185cm tall, weighed more than 260kg, and his head was as big as a bucket. Pimples, big flat nose, lion wide mouth, fleshy face, vicious temperament, full of oppression...
Few people are interested in this kind of sumo wrestler + glaring King Kong's body, anyway, Kane is not among them, and it is because of his broad vision that he does not feel sick.
Seeing that Kane was not moved by her aura at all, Mel's sea-blue eyes were as deep as an abyss, he recognized Kane's strength, and said in a rough voice: "I not only want freedom, but also money, less can be no."
Kane smiled and threw a kraft paper bag to her: "Among Jamie's real estate, you can choose two. Don't bargain with me, otherwise I don't mind killing you with extreme means."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the bluish-white flame burned between his palms. The heat was astonishing, and Mel felt as if he was standing in front of a high-temperature smelting furnace, and between breathing, his face and body were scorched. oily man.
Swallowing with difficulty, Mel said, "Okay."
Kane ignored her, but walked into the depths of the room, showing that he was familiar with the layout of the house.
