Chapter 26 Surprise

In the darkness, the muscle car belonging to Edmond was slowly driving on the streets of Angcheng.

Esther, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at Jason behind him through the rearview mirror from time to time.

Until now, he didn't understand what Jason just said.

What is it that the eyes are confused and the taste does not change?

It can't be smelling through the nose, can it?

Even a hound can't lock in a certain smell in a big city like Angcheng!

What's more, the members of the 'faceless' legion must have received the most rigorous training, and this kind of odor masking is a compulsory course, so the previous 'faceless' can't leave clues about the smell at all. .

It is impossible for Esther to find more 'faceless people' through each other.

However, Esther faced Jason's order, and he had no objection.

He was going to live to be a hundred years old, how could he object to Jason's order.

Moreover, he still had some vague expectations.

Looking forward to Jason actually finding the rest of the 'Faceless' Legion.

Then, take this as an opportunity to disrupt the layout of those big men.

Compared to Esther's many mental activities, Edmond, who is driving, is focused.

He didn't think so much.

He is now pondering whether to expand the two 'safe channels' again, and more and more related people will appear, but his previous layout is not enough.

Victory often seems to be within reach, but failure always follows.

Edmond knew this truth deeply.

Therefore, he has to be prepared to 'retreat'.

If something goes wrong, run away with everyone.

only……

"so hard!"

Edmond sighed silently.

Involuntarily, he also glanced up at Jason in the back row.

At this time, Jason rested his left knee on the knee of his right leg, leaning back against the seat, showing a very relaxed posture, and playing with a small obsidian dagger in his hand.

Based on observations, Edmund could confirm that it was made of obsidian.

It looks very rough, but the edges and corners are carefully polished, and there is no time to deposit the unique breath.

"Counterfeit?"

Edmond guessed.

Then, at this moment, Jason raised his head.

"Turn left."

Jason said lightly.

"Yes."

Edmond nodded immediately.

Jason lowered his head again, and continued to smell the 'smell' while continuing to play with the obsidian dagger in his hand.

The 'faceless' legion of the 'Temple' will naturally cover up the smell on their bodies, but the 'food' they carry with them will not!

This obsidian dagger is a trophy found from the previous 'faceless man'.

Naturally, people who have been in contact with this 'faceless man' will be more or less contaminated with this kind of smell.

Although it is not possible to go directly to the gate of the fighting hall,

The people who have been in contact with the Faceless Man can be traced based on the escaping smell, but as long as it is within a general range, Jason can still be sure.

and this?

Not difficult.

Consider the way the Faceless Corps fights.

Complete cross-dressing, lurking, and assassination.

In the same way, Jason can be sure that these 'faceless people' are bound to spy on intelligence.

So what kind of person would be the best person to spy on intelligence?

A person with a certain social status, who can get preferential treatment in any occasion, but is basically not suspected by the public!

Teachers, doctors, police, journalists, etc., all fall into this category.

Among them, the identity of the reporter is the most convenient.

They are the only ones who can go in and out of all kinds of special occasions and touch some people without being suspected.

Although it will also be checked layer by layer, which is the end of the search, but relying on the ability of the "faceless", it is not difficult to cope with such a situation.

Therefore, the first search location Jason chose was the TV station in Angcheng.

Although he had been here before hunting for [Twisted Animated Clowns], Jason did not rule it out.

On the contrary, he is very suspicious here.

It's very simple, is it really a coincidence that [Twisted Animated Clown] is on Angcheng TV?

Coincidentally, just after he appeared in an alley in Angcheng, he appeared directly in the supermarket opposite him?

When he didn't know the existence of the 'Temple', Jason might be able to take it as a coincidence.

But when Jason learned of the existence of the 'Temple', no matter how you looked at these coincidences, it seemed that someone was carefully planning them.

"I hope you are still patiently waiting!"

Jason muttered to himself.

One of the 'Faceless' legions launched an assassination attempt on him, no matter what the result is, as long as the other 'Faceless' in Ang City will silently wait for the news.

It was successful, and they went to pick it up.

Failed, they went to clean up.

With this as the premise, these "faceless people" will definitely stay in the place they think is the safest.

And what place is safer than the environment in which identities have been carefully crafted many times?

Thinking of this, Jason took a deep breath.

The scent of the obsidian dagger penetrated directly into the nose.

Hunger flooded Jason's mind again.

However, he still held back.

Different from the simple fight against hunger at the beginning, Jason at this moment not only fights against hunger, but also allows himself to think and analyze calmly and rationally when facing 'food'.

Doing so is not easy.

But Jason knew it was necessary.

That state of being completely dominated by 'appetite' is too bad for him.

"Self-discipline will set me free!"

Jason picked up the obsidian dagger, put it in front of his nose, sniffed it, and put it down again.

But soon, he raised his nose again.

Eyes that had been squinting, opened immediately.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

...

Tussoko, one of the directors of the interview department of Angcheng TV.

Compared to several other executives, this executive has always been respected.

Not only because of age, ability, but also because of his approachability.

Every time something happens, Tussoko is always willing to help others, and he will not refuse any foreign visits. Even if it is someone else's task, as long as he opens his mouth, Tussoko will agree.

Just like the last time, it was obviously another supervisor's task, but Tussoko agreed to the other party and went on a direct overseas visit for two weeks, and just came back yesterday.

Then, it was all night to sort out the interview materials.

Drowsiness is natural.

After Tussoko couldn't help but yawned, a male subordinate on duty couldn't help but said: "Director, you should be tougher instead of being a good guy, do you know how they talk about you behind your back? ?"

"How are you talking about me?"

Tussoko pushed the glasses, and the gray temples moved back slightly under the friction of the temples, and a smile appeared on the old man's face, which made the wrinkles more.

"They say you're a bad guy!"

"It's good for everyone!"

"Even a heinous villain will say hello-because, you will definitely meet all his demands and won't resist."

The young male subordinate said so.

Tussoko was slightly startled, as if he didn't know how to answer, and there was a smirk on his face.

Then, he got up and walked towards the pantry.

Looking at Tusuoko's back, the male subordinate pursed his lips, and finally crawled on the desk weakly.

And the several staff on duty who have been watching here all the time, immediately began to discuss.

"It's impossible for Director Tussoko to listen to your advice."

"This time the interview for the minister's campaign must not have him."

"We'll have to say goodbye to a few other supervisors, I don't want to be assigned a foreign mission and not be able to go home for weeks."

"yes."

"Actually, it's not bad for a good man like Tusoko to be a minister. At least when I ask for leave, I won't be made trouble."

"Yes, as long as we ask for it, we may be given more subsidies and bonuses."

"It's a pity that he is destined to be the cannon fodder for this campaign."

Tussoko could hear such discussions clearly.

Even though the door of the pantry has been closed, for one of the official members of the Faceless Man Corps, his perception is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Listening to these words, Tussoko's habitual smirk was more sarcastic and hideous.

"Desolate cities, fallen people."

"The only thing waiting for you is the scorching of the flames!"

"Blood can't wash away your sins!"

Tussoko thought to himself, and his eyes looked out from the small window of the pantry.

The night outside the window was silent, but his colleagues had already moved.

It will be lively soon!

That immortal 'abnormal' must be terrified at this moment.

Any existence, under the pursuit and killing of the 'Temple', will be in a constant state of panic.

Because, in the end, they will all die without a place to be buried.

"You will accidentally destroy my layout, you should be punished!"

When he thought that the [Twisted Animated Clown] he had arranged so much painstakingly was so easily wiped out by the 'Masked Man', Tussoko's face could not help but distort.

He was just a temptation, and he made his three years of hard work in vain.

Unforgivable!

Tussoko thought through gritted teeth.

He raised his head and drank the coffee in his hand.

He hoped to quench his anger with coffee.

However, there is no use at all.

Moreover, just as he put down the coffee and lowered his head, a tall figure was suddenly reflected from the glass of the window in front of him.

It was a figure that was a full head taller than him, wearing an old-fashioned ice hockey mask and couldn't see his face clearly.

He was standing behind him at the moment, looking down at him.

Hockey face, mask? !

In an instant, the hair on Tussoko's back stood on end.

"you……"

Just as Tusuoko was about to open his mouth, his broad palm covered his mouth, and the short-handled, broad-blade machete swept across the neck.

puff!

Blood splattered on the opposite glass.

Most of the night outside the window was directly dyed red.

Only the corners were left, and a full moon bloomed with bright brilliance.

Let the darkness deepen.

Make that blood red more and more dazzling.

It also made the tall figure intertwined in darkness and crimson even more creepy.

Jason bent down unconsciously, raised his hand and took out another small obsidian dagger from the other's shirt pocket.

Looking at the new obsidian dagger in his hand, Jason's face hidden behind the mask showed a smile.

Things seem to be simpler than he imagined!

and……

Full of surprises!
