Pain! Pain!
Pain was a gift. It allowed you to feel your own 'existence'! To confirm that you were still alive!
…
Under the cover of the black fog, every investigator seemed to hear a sharp murmur in their ears.
Amidst the praises and prayers, all the investigators fell into an illusion.
It was obvious that the mental calming medicine they had taken earlier did not have the slightest effect.
"This … This place is …"
An investigator opened his eyes and realized that he was in a cell.
Around him, a group of cultists dressed in black had already surrounded him with branding irons, knives, whips, and other torture tools.
"This is an illusion, an illusion!"
He kept trying to convince himself, but it was useless!
The bright red branding irons landed on his body, and immediately, there was a burning smell of barbecued meat.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream rang out in the cell.
The investigator was in extreme pain, but he could not escape from this purgatory.
Next, there was bone picking, flesh slicing, eyes gouging, legs breaking … All sorts of cruel punishments were being carried out one by one.
In the real world.
This investigator had already fainted. Only his limbs twitched occasionally, proving that he was still alive.
Fang Xian was merciful towards this kind of colleague.
Otherwise, just the intense pain alone could kill him!
…
"A real supernatural being!"
"Technological weapons are ineffective?"
"Too powerful …"
A few leaders escaped from the Secret Keeper's headquarters. Looking at the 'Bird with Broken Wings' that was wreaking havoc, they bent over in pain.
Even though they were just looking at it, they could feel the terrifying 'pain' that was transmitted to them!
To the Bird with Broken Wings, pain was both nourishment and a weapon!
"You've appeared, Catien!"
At this moment, Fang Xian also saw a white-haired old man.
He straightened his back. Even though his expression was ferocious, he bravely looked at the Bird with Broken Wings and roared, "Use the secret talisman!"
Catien threw out a yellow talisman first.
The golden light of dusk illuminated the entire field.
The King of Dusk!
Even though it was just a ray of light, the black fog on the field quickly thinned. The investigators who were struggling on the ground seemed to feel a lot better.
"Move!"
One by one, the investigators used the secret talisman to suppress the Bird with Broken Wings.
"Isolate the battlefield!"
The scenery around the Secret Keeper's branch suddenly became somewhat illusory, as if they had fallen into another inexplicable space.
This was to isolate the pollution from the supernatural creatures and to keep it a secret. Otherwise, a strange bird attacking a human building would definitely be on the news tomorrow morning.
"The situation is urgent. According to the special agreement, as long as the three managers agree, the Unnamed Spear can be used!"
One of the people in charge shouted quickly.
"Sure!"
"Agreed!"
Catien and the other manager hurriedly nodded.
The person in charge who spoke was also an elite investigator. Upon seeing this, he immediately opened the black box on his back.
After opening it, he took out an item.
Cineen only glanced at it and felt dizzy because he could not recognize this item.
He was unable to describe the characteristics and shape of this item … It seemed to be an indescribable object.
This was the spoils of war that the elite investigator on the other side obtained from his last adventure before he retired.
It seemed that only this elite investigator from the branch knew that it was a firearm and could operate it.
The others could only watch.
They did not understand why the elite investigator would call this object a firearm. They could not even tell what color it was.
They could only watch as the elite investigator performed a series of dazzling operations on the 'indescribable object'.
In midair, the Bird with Broken Wings seemed to have sensed something.
It flapped its wings and flung out balls of dusk light. It suddenly dived down, aiming directly at this area.
"Done!"
The elite investigator's hand did not tremble at all. Displaying a calm and strong mental fortitude, he raised Unnamed high up in the air.
Cineen suddenly saw a ball of light being shot out from the indescribable object.
At this moment, he was finally sure that it was indeed a firearm.
Although it did not conform to human knowledge and perspective, it was indeed a machine that could shoot dangerous energy!
Poof!
A large hole appeared on the chest of the Bird with Broken Wings.
The dirty scales shattered inch by inch. A pitch-black, thick, petroleum-like liquid splattered out. When it landed on the ground, it immediately corroded.
"Success!"
Cineen clenched his fists tightly.
However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He saw the direction where the Bird with Broken Wings had fallen. The pitch-black liquid corroded the ground and spread rapidly. From it, the shadow of a small Bird with Broken Wings flew out!
"The Bird of Pain will not be destroyed. It will only be reborn from pain!"
Poof!
The black bird surpassed the speed of sound and burrowed into Cineen's chest.
Cineen's lips trembled. He held his heart and wanted to say something, but it was too late.
Pa!
The next moment.
His body split into pieces and a pitch-black liquid flowed out.
His mind and soul had been completely contaminated.
This was Fang Xian's precautionary measure.
Even if the Secret Keepers had the ability to resurrect him, they would only get a monster, a monster in the mind!
Whoosh whoosh!
A light breeze blew and the black fog dispersed.
The Bird with Broken Wings and the black liquid from before suddenly disappeared.
…
Outside the branch.
Fang Xian nodded. He used the secret key to open the door of the angle and returned to the surveillance point.
It had only been a few minutes since the attack.
He looked around and slowly walked out of the shadows. He washed his hands and returned to the car.
"You …"
Lov stared at him and frowned. "Did you eat something bad recently? Do you want me to recommend you a doctor? "
"No, no need!"
Fang Xian was speechless. He took over Lov's position.
"I have a feeling that the target will not be able to hold it in tonight and contact his accomplices!" Lov said to himself.
Although there were cars in this era, mobile phones had not been invented yet. If one wanted to make a call, he could only go to a phone booth or a public phone.
Other than supernatural powers, Fang Xian could not think of any means of instant communication.
And the Secret Keepers were cautious and restrained when it came to supernatural powers.
If Lov wanted to get the news, he would probably have to contact the branch.
"Other than that, he is my perfect alibi … After all, no one knows that I have the 'Mark of the Gate' …"
Fang Xian went through the plan in his mind.
This time, other than getting rid of a hidden threat, he also tested the water of the Secret Keepers.
It was indeed deep!
This made him feel that staying in the group of investigators was the right choice.
