'Most of the investigators in the Secret Keepers are ordinary people … But if I really want to classify them, I can still classify them into levels …'
Fang Xian thought to himself as he watched Lov open the trunk of the car and start to equip himself with weapons.
This was what he had come up with through the indirect questioning he had done during this period of time, as well as his own speculations.
Trainee, Official, Senior, Elite, and Legendary!
Needless to say, trainee investigators were a bunch of rookies. Of course, there might be some outstanding talents among them.
Official investigators, on the other hand, could solve some common supernatural cases through cooperation.
Senior investigators had a clear mind and a strong body, as well as subtle observation skills. With the qualification to investigate on their own, they could often solve a supernatural case involving curses or other supernatural powers.
Elite investigators were the backbone of the Secret Keepers. They were generally involved in supernatural powers and might have some supernatural items. They could solve most cases.
As for the Legendary investigators, they were the trump cards of the Secret Keepers. They must have supernatural powers and great influence. They might know the secrets hidden in the depths of the world. They might even be in direct contact with some supernatural creatures.
'According to my classification … Lov might be a senior investigator? He has the ability to solve a supernatural case on his own? '
Fang Xian was slightly lost in thought when Lov handed him a revolver.
"Take it. We'll solve this case together!"
Lov bit the bullets and kept reloading. He put the revolvers on his waist. "I've got your gun license … So, take it. Do you still remember the gun practice?"
"No problem!"
Fang Xian skillfully opened the clip, checked the bullets, and closed it again.
"The target is in the exhibition. What should we do?" He followed Lov to the exhibition hall and asked curiously, "Should we sneak in at night?"
"No … According to your description, some people have seen the statue. Something might go wrong … We have to solve it as soon as possible."
Lov put on a smile. "Just wait and see."
Fang Xian waited for a few minutes. Suddenly, he heard a siren.
"Fire alarm!"
"Evacuate the audience!"
A group of police officers in black uniforms with six-pointed star badges on their chests rushed into the exhibition hall and began to evacuate the crowd.
Not long after, the originally lively exhibition instantly became empty, and the periphery was cordoned off.
Fang Xian noticed that the police officers had only evacuated the exhibition hall and did not barge into Devin's workshop. It was clear that they had communicated with the secret keeper beforehand.
"No … maybe the Secret Keeper is an official organization? No, no. Or should I say … an officially supported non-governmental organization? '
If a regime controlled the Secret Keeper, it was impossible for them not to study supernatural powers, which was not in line with the Secret Keeper's concept of restraint.
Therefore, Fang Xian speculated that the secret keeper and the government were probably in a cooperative relationship, and they were very close.
"Alright, it's our turn."
Lov found an empty corner and entered the exhibition hall through the window with Fang Xian.
In the spacious hall, the footsteps of the two people became clearer.
With Fang Xian in the lead, they arrived outside Devin's studio.
"This is … too great, too shocking …"
In the studio, that group of people had not left yet. They seemed to be immersed in their own little world, unaware of what was happening outside.
"Oral tranquilizer!"
Lov made a hand gesture, took out a small red pill from his belt, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Immediately after, he held the gun with both hands and dashed in. "Ladies … gentlemen … the tour is over. Get out!"
In the studio.
The men and women stood there like statues, not moving at all. They could not bear to move their eyes away from the statue.
"Don't you think … this is not great?"
Devin had an infatuated expression. He stroked the half-finished statue and looked at Lov.
"Don't you think … this is not great?"
In the studio, the others spoke at the same time.
Sweet, gentle, old, or sharp voices were like small knives, stabbing into Lov's mind.
"Ah!"
Even though Lov's mind had been strengthened by drugs, he could not help but clutch his head and kneel on the ground. He felt that he had even lost the strength to pull the trigger.
At this moment, a ball-shaped object rolled in and exploded, releasing a large amount of smoke.
Fang Xian, who was covering outside the door, saw that the situation was not right. He immediately acted according to the plan and tossed in a powerful hypnotic grenade.
Chi chi!
Amidst the white smoke, the sounds of people falling to the ground rang out.
Lov felt that the influence of the ravings on him was greatly reduced. He stood up and pointed his gun at Devin, who had not fallen asleep.
The fact that he had not been knocked down by the hypnotic grenade meant that this person had already been corrupted by dark forces and had undergone a certain mutation. He was no longer an ordinary human. He had to be taken seriously!
"Raise your hands!"
He shouted. "Otherwise, I'll blow up your head. Tell me … who asked you to make this statue?"
"No one asked me to make it. I wanted to complete this great work of art myself …" Devin's expression was both lost and proud.
Devin's expression was both lost and proud. "I found out about its existence from the Capulet Manuscripts … It's simply a perfect creation, the art of God … It's just one last step away from being completed."
'A supernatural case that broke out by chance? There's no organization behind it?'
A person who had already started to go crazy would not have the concept of falsifying testimony.
Lov subconsciously chose to believe him and heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he saw that Devin had ignored his warning and picked up the carving knife in his hand, as if he was going to continue with the sculpture.
Without any hesitation, Lov pulled the trigger.
Bang!
With a loud sound, Devin's head exploded like a watermelon.
At the next moment, Lov's expression changed drastically.
He saw that there was no white or red brain matter in Devin's exploded head. Instead, there were many fleshy worms that were struggling and squirming incessantly!
These worms wriggled and crawled rapidly to the sides of Devin's shoes. They crawled along the hem of his pants, over his thighs, chest … They crawled to the hideous-looking wound on his neck and started to reassemble.
A flesh-colored head regrew, turning into Devin's face.
"Do you see this? This is the power of worms, the miracle of life! "
His expression was fanatical.
Every word he said was like a fine needle that pierced into Lov's mind.
'No … This is … a supernatural force that firearms can't deal with!
'I've been too careless. The degree of evilness of this force is beyond my imagination … I must seek help from the branch!'
Lov retreated rapidly.
However, he suddenly lost control of his body.
The sight of those worms crawling and reassembling into a head overturned his normal thoughts with an extraordinary power, causing his consciousness to gradually become blurry …
