Chapter 104 Silence
Even though Chen Ke pointed a gun at his forehead, the fat man was not too panicked. It can be seen that he is an old driver on the road.
Chen Ke's bullet broke two of his fingers. He covered his broken fingers and looked at Chen Ke with hatred in his eyes.
"Do I know you?" the man asked.
"It doesn't matter. Do you work for the Si Group?" Chen Ke asked.
"Hahahaha... Many people work for the Si Group, why don't you join them..." The man laughed.
Chen Ke's face turned black, and he hit the fat man's forehead hard with the butt of the gun. Blood splattered and a gap was made.
"Ah!!! You son of a bitch!" The man cursed.
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me what the Si Group got from the Xijin Building." Chen Ke asked coldly.
"You know a lot... If it was something else, I might tell you, but this matter..." The man's original arrogant expression disappeared, and he seemed to be very afraid of the Si Group.
"Tell me, or I'll put lead bullets in your brain." Chen Ke put the muzzle of the gun against the man's temple.
"The question you asked is very dangerous. I don't know where you came from, but if you want to go against the Si Group... my friend, this is my advice to you... it's better to find a place to bury yourself than to be caught by them as a sacrifice..." the man said seriously.
"What are you talking about?" Chen Ke was puzzled.
"That is the inhuman realm... the Si Group has gone a little too far... that old man... wait..." the fat man said breathlessly, and suddenly looked at his right hand.
His right hand slowly turned black, and the blood vessels bulged, as if there was a black centipede under the skin.
"What did you do to me?! You..." the fat man said in horror, his neck slowly turned black, and the whole person's state was exactly the same as the man Chen Ke met at the dock.
Chen Ke let go of the man and slowly stepped back, watching him twisting in pain on the ground. The fat man frantically tore his suit, trying to confirm whether there was anything wrong with his body, but his movements became slower and slower, and black and red blood flowed from his eyes, ears, and nostrils.
"Ah... you devil... you... vomit..."
He fell to the ground, vomited a mixture of blood and undigested matter on the ground, and finally buried his face in the vomit and died.
[Alienated Individual Level: Ordinary]
[Status: Death]
[Form: Biological]
[Category: Sin]
[Attribute: Witchcraft]
A message box popped up next to the man's body, indicating that he died of sinful witchcraft.
There was an unpleasant smell in the vomit, Chen Ke covered his nose, and his trouser legs were grabbed by a hand. He looked down and saw that it was Pazzi.
Pazzi also slowly turned black, and blood and tears flowed from his eyes. He reached out and threw a small key to the ground.
"Plitto Bank... No. 209..." He finished speaking with difficulty, vomited a mouthful of black blood on the ground, and died.
Chen Ke sighed. He wanted to get some useful information from these two people, but they all died from witchcraft curse.
It seems that the risk of cooperating with the S Group is ridiculously high. All insiders will be cursed by witchcraft to ensure that the secrets are not leaked...
However, Pazzi did not say anything and triggered the witchcraft. I don't know what the mechanism of this curse is.
Chen Ke picked up the key, put away the gun, returned to the door, looked outside to make sure that no one was there, closed the door as if nothing had happened, and left the nightclub through the main entrance.
Hall had been waiting on the street opposite the nightclub. He was beaten badly by the bodyguards and his face was still covered with bruises.
He was surprised to see Chen Ke come out of the main entrance unscathed.
"Where did you go just now? Why didn't you help me?!" he blamed.
"I'm sorry, Hall, but you did help me attract a lot of attention just now, so that I could have some time alone with Pazzi." Chen Ke smiled.
"Wait! Did you find Patsy?! Did you find out anything? What is Heinard doing? What did they get in the last operation?" Hall, who was originally full of resentment, immediately calmed down and kept asking questions.
Chen Ke handed the small key to Hall.
"What is this?" He looked at the small key in his hand and asked in confusion.
"A clue, this is the key to a storage box in Prito Bank. Patsy gave it to me. If we can take the things out, we should be able to know the whole story." Chen Ke said.
"Did he give it to you?" Hall asked.
Chen Ke nodded.
"You are so easy to deal with! What if he cheats you? I think we should rush in and forcibly pull him out and take him away." Hall was a little excited.
"Listen... Hall, Patsy won't cheat me, he won't." Chen Ke stopped Hall and motioned him to calm down.
"How do you know? You haven't dealt with him..." Hall shook his head.
"He's dead, Hall, he's dead." Chen Ke explained.
Hall looked at Chen Ke in surprise.
"I didn't kill him. He died of some kind of curse, just like the man in the dock crew workshop. He gave me this key before he died." Chen Ke said.
"Then we'd better go back and show it to Pihom." Hall said.
Chen Ke agreed, and the two of them stopped a taxi and immediately went to Pihom's six-shot revolver shop.
Safe house.
Everyone gathered around the long table in the hall, looking at the small key on the table. Chen Ke described the final death of Pazzi and hinted that this situation was like witchcraft in the movie.
"I know this kind of inhuman spell. In the past, when Heinard and I were smuggling at sea... many crew members were also cursed with similar curses." Lucina suddenly said.
Chen Ke looked at Lucina, hoping that she would continue.
"There is a kind of woman who can cast a spell on others. They are like witches. This spell is called silence in the mouth of smugglers... It is a vow-keeping spell."
"In other words, they were all forced to take an oath, and once they broke the oath, they would die?" Chen Ke asked.
"In theory, this is true, but Madfak... The oath-taking process of this spell does not need to be very rigorous. The caster only needs to trick and induce the recipient to say and do words and actions similar to vow-keeping to make the oath valid..." Lucina said.
"For example..." Chen Ke frowned.
"For example, nod, say OK, smile to indicate acquiescence, no matter what you think, the oath will stand..." Lucina said.
Chen Ke took a breath, this silencing spell, it seems to be a skill specially used to deal with those social old hands! If you are tricked, you can't regret it, and you will die if you dare to use routines...
"But don't worry about being tricked easily, because all women who can perform silencing spells are bald, and there will be purple pattern symbols on their foreheads. I don't know why they become like this, maybe it's caused by this spell..." Lucina spread her hands.
"So you have seen that kind of witch?" Priskin asked.
"Henard has dealt with them, he knows how to deal with these women, he told me." Lucina said.
"That's all about the popular science of witchcraft, everyone, now we should talk about business." Pihom, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted the conversation, he rested his hands on the table, and his eyes swept over everyone present.
"Plitto Bank is in the Holy Oak District. It's a small bank. There's something we need there. Maybe it's a trap. But we only have this one clue now. Maybe this is our only chance to find out the truth." Pihom said solemnly.
"We only have one key, but no account password, and no credentials, so the bank won't let us open the lock." Hall said.
Pihom nodded.
"Heinard may be working with the S consortium, or some other organization, but in any case, we have to find out who the enemy is." Chen Ke added.
"Wait... you mean... we're going to rob a bank, right?" Priskin said.
Chen Ke, Hall, Lucina and Pihom nodded.
