Calamity Crown

There was smoke and dust on the road in the afternoon.

There was a crisp sound in the room at midnight.

Goethe lit a cigarette and sat in the chair.

The "rebels" of the Western Federation are not the rebels in the conventional perception, but just tools supported by another political party.

With a lofty name, a group of naive people gathered, and after attracting helpless people to join, they were led by a leader with ulterior motives.

It just so happened that Goethe knew this leader.

Alston!

Or to be precise, Auston is the immediate boss of the so-called 'rebel' leader.

After realizing that Ann left without saying goodbye, Goethe directly told Oston to look for Ann.

When Ann appeared in the gunship, Goethe would be stupid if he couldn’t realize An’s real identity—even if he had a military status, he couldn’t have a gunship in the city. Unless it has a special mission, or has a special status.

Using this point as a breakthrough point, Goethe easily guessed An's real identity.

Leaning in the chair of the 'Institute of Folklore Investigation', Goethe still had Ann's unique fragrance on the tip of his nose—Ann had just left, but the strong smell of jasmine mixed with the smell of blood and fire was still being recalled by Goethe .

Jasmine scent, not perfume.

But drinks.

Ann unexpectedly likes jasmine tea.

As for blood and fire?

That is the quality honed on the battlefield.

It has already been imprinted deep in the soul.

Ann is impossible to change.

Nor will it change.

Goethe will not force Ann to change, the relationship between the two is like partners, mutual tolerance is the best, after all, Ann has tolerated him several times just now.

He naturally needs to repay Ann.

so he……

It's not that he didn't understand the rejection, but the main reason was that the atmosphere was set up there.

There is really no way.

"Oh, next time you must wear pants without zippers."

Goethe told himself this, and looked at the box in front of him.

It was just sent by Alston.

It contains the mystic objects collected by the Western Federal Government and information about the 'Heisa'.

The occult catalog is housed in a bulky notebook.

The information on ‘Heisa’ was written by hand.

Goethe's fingerprints were required to open the case, and if a mistake was made, the case would self-destruct instantly—as did the clunky notebook.

As for the information on recording 'Heisa'?

After opening the box and exposing it to the air, the writing on it will disappear within two hours.

'Of course, your permission is sufficient, if you want to read it again, please apply again. '

Thinking of Oston's words, Goethe nodded slightly.

He fully subscribes to this cautious attitude.

Due to time reasons, Goethe first picked up the information on ‘Heisa’.

All are handwritten.

Two documents.

The first source is: the account of the lucky among the unfortunate.

The second piece of information is: the report of the 'Western Federal Bureau of Abnormal Affairs Investigation'.

Goethe picked up the first document.

‘I made an appointment with my classmate to go hiking on the weekend, and she invited me to her hometown, which is not too far from the university where I am, and I can just go back and forth in one weekend. '

'My companions were two of my roommates and their girlfriends. '

‘The six of us meet and set off together. '

‘It was normal at first, but when we got there, there was a funeral in Lisa’s hometown and a woman had hanged herself. '

‘Lisa’s uncle received us, he was a very warm person, not only provided us with drinks, but also provided us with flying leaves. '

'I don't like it very much, but Lisa seems to like it a little bit, so I drank and smoked together. '

'Alcohol and flying leaves make me less sober. '

'In a blur, I feel Lisa next to me. '

‘When I woke up the next day, I was lying in the coffin, next to me was Lisa, she was dead, I slapped the coffin in horror, but no one responded. '

Goethe felt nothing, and turned to the second page.

"Lisa asked me to go to my hometown for vacation. In order to complete this project, I have not had a break for 4 months. It has come from winter to spring. I even feel the taste of summer, so I agreed to Lisa's invitation. , when she agreed to be my girlfriend—the project was a success, and I thought I was lucky to have the girl I had been thinking of all along as my girlfriend. '

'As a matter of fact, it is. '

'I was welcomed by everyone in Lisa's hometown, Lisa's stepmother, sister... really nice. '

‘We were here for two weeks and I was very happy the first week and even happier the second because I found out that the lady who runs the bar in the town is also very nice. '

‘However, the day before I left, I had a nightmare. '

‘Lisa’s stepmother, sister, the bartender lady, and a few other girls I thought were nice started chasing me with shotguns, sickles, and pitchforks. '

'Why? '

'I don't know, I tried to explain and no one listened. '

'Luckily, Lisa saved me. '

‘She drove me and fled the town, but just as she was about to leave the town, Lisa stopped the car suddenly, and she asked me if something happened to those women? '

’ How could I answer yes, I looked at Lisa with genuine eyes and told her I had no idea what was going on. '

'Then……'

'I was stabbed in the lower abdomen by Lisa with a dagger. In the pain, Lisa's face began to distort, and she became like her stepmother, sister, and the bar owner. '

Looking at the content on the second page, Goethe frowned.

Of course, he didn't pay more attention to the scumbag's self-report.

Instead, focus on a name: Lisa?

All Lisa?

Goethe turned to the third page guessing.

‘My wife Lisa and I have been married for three years and this year we had our baby, a girl who is just as beautiful as Lisa, and at the same time, I got a promotion in my role and I became a regional manager. '

'What a stroke of luck! '

'I think that's what Lisa and her daughter brought to me. '

‘So when Lisa offered to go back to her hometown to visit her parents while she was on leave, I immediately agreed – I never saw my parents-in-law again except when I got married. '

'However, this does not prevent me from being grateful to them. '

‘They showed more enthusiasm for our arrival than I expected, which made me blame myself. Obviously, because of work, I ignored too much. '

‘At that time, I swore that I would visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law at least once a year in the future. '

‘I am grateful to them until now, after all, they saved me at the last moment, but they lost their lives. '

‘And my poor wife and children, they also suffered misfortune, I don’t know what happened until now, I only know that the devil is eating my children, I will kill it! '

The description on the third page is much more normal.

In addition to Lisa also appearing, it is the 'cannibal demon'.

However, Goethe involuntarily came up with the term 'ceremony' after watching it.

Goethe did not jump to conclusions right away.

He continued to look through.

Among the next four survivors, one Lisa appeared, most of the time as an adult woman, but once she looked like a girl, and this time was also very different.

‘My wife and I have been married for ten years. We have no children. Because of an accident, I lost my fertility. My wife really wants to have her own child. I know this, so after discussing with my wife, we adopted a girl. "

"She's cute and she smiles like an angel.'

'But when we named her, she insisted on calling herself 'Lisa'. '

'My wife and I didn't insist on that. '

‘Especially when Lisa called me dad, my heart just melted in that moment – ​​am I a dad? It's like a dream! '

"Lisa is obedient, well-behaved, and very smart, and is loved by everyone in the community, but I was careless. I forgot that this world is not only beautiful, but also has a disgusting darkness. The church in that community A sanctimonious guy actually raped Lisa, I am XXXX! '

'It was my mistake that my anger didn't overwhelm my reason, because, my reason told me what I was going to do. '

'My wife doesn't know this. '

‘Skinning that guy is my own behavior. '

‘As for why everyone in the church was killed? '

'Because, they all deserve to die! '

'They didn't find the moth, they got my daughter hurt! '

Um?

victim?

Goethe read it twice, and finally shook his head.

If there is no previous information, he will be sure of the identity of the 'Lisa' victim, but with the previous information, Goethe is more inclined that this is a layout.

"From direct harm to abetment?"

"No!"

"It can't be called instigation."

"It should be an inducement."

Goethe thought about it, put down the statement of the "unfortunate person", and picked up the report of the "Western Federal Bureau of Abnormal Affairs".

Different from readme.

The report of the "Western Federal Bureau of Abnormal Affairs" is written in an unusually standard way——

File Number: LMR-01-009

Target Class: Keter

Target description: usually appears as a woman, and will definitely call herself 'Lisa', has the ability to change appearance and age at will, and with the change of age, the body will also change accordingly, becoming in line with the cognition Age, very good at demagoguery, the words he said pointed directly at the weakness of the speaker's heart (mark 1), he had a fairly high hand-to-hand combat ability, and could use firearms freely (mark 2), and his behavior pattern was temporarily summarized as the perpetrator six times, The image of a girl will appear for the seventh time (mark 3). When the image of a girl appears, the adult male who is close to the other party will become uncontrollable (mark 4). In an oil painting of "Prophet George" (labeled 5), in the last pursuit of the opponent by all female team members, the opponent was shot and killed, and the body disappeared on the way back to the headquarters. About three months later, the opponent again Appears as 'Lisa' (callout 6).

Treatment method: Approach with an all-female team, seriously injured and imprisoned.

Check level: Level 4

Access method: Written in special ink, and requires two A-level members to reply at the same time.

Current status of the target: Sealed by "Folk Custom Hunter" Winchester (Mark 7, Mark 8)

(Note 1: "Lisa" is suspected to be able to read people's hearts and look up the other party's past memories. The method is unknown.)

(Note 2: When appearing as an adult woman, she can kill a fully armed commando with bare hands in an instant, and can use weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, and sniper rifles, but she is not good at driving, and can only simply drive Cars, cannot make any difficult moves, for vehicles such as motorcycles, not at all.)

(Note 3: In the recorded data, all sequences conform to this guess, only after being killed that time, 'Lisa' appeared in the form of a girl continuously, and the 'Lisa' in the form of a girl will always look the same. )

(Note 4: When 'Lisa' appears as a girl, any adult male will become uncontrollable, have a terrible desire for 'Lisa', and even want to kill 'Lisa' completely.)

(Note 5: The girl "Lisa" appeared in the oil painting "Home" of "Prophet George". According to research, the "Lisa" in the painting should be the same person as the "Lisa" we are facing.)

(Note 6: 'Lisa' disappeared by unknown means, and when she reappeared, it caused a chaos and killed 66 men.)

(Note 7: 'Folk Hunter' Winchester sealed 'Lisa' in a special way, and at the same time obtained a special prop. According to records, that treasure should be the 'Prophet George' mentioned in "Les Miserables" The past 'Fantine' can make people strong, but it can also bring misfortune.)

(Note 8: 'Folk Hunter' Winchester was temporarily seriously injured and disappeared. It is recommended to start with the adopted son of the other party. You can ▉▉▉▉ (smear traces remain) but you need to exercise restraint.)

(Note 9: The original name of 'Lisa' was concealed, and the code name was 'Heisa'.)

...

"'Lisa' and 'Heisa'?"

"Is it to restrain immortality?"

Goethe frowned slightly looking at this document.

When he saw Mark 6 and Mark 9, he naturally had a similar association—as long as he remembered his real name, he would be resurrected and returned, even if sacrifices were required every time.

The special number 66 is really conspicuous.

There is also the rule of marking 3!

Goethe always thought of 'ritual' involuntarily.

Then, it's...

'Folk Hunter'.

Winchester, the "adoptive father" who has always existed in his mind, is undoubtedly a very remarkable figure, otherwise, there would be no mark 8.

Of course, what Goethe cares most is the mark 4!

"Can a strong enough [heart] resist it?"

Goethe guessed, and looked at the mark 7.

Involuntarily, the corner of Goethe's mouth twitched.

It's not just a spoof of "Mad King".

Also because of Goethe's speculation, could the so-called 'Black Sa' be some special invention or product of the 'Mad King'?

Judging from the self-description of the 'Mad King', it is quite possible.

The 'Mad King' at this time should still be in that 'sunshine' and 'carefree' state.

Passionate about 'playing'.

But there was already a little uneasiness in my heart.

So under such a premise, it is normal for the 'Mad King' to make some self-protection items.

It's just that this prop seems to be out of control!

Or……

The so-called 'Black Sa' got the treasure 'Fantine' made by the 'Mad King' and became the so-called 'Black Sa'.

"What could it be?"

Goethe thought.

After that, he read the materials twice more.

After all the text disappeared, Goethe lit the two documents and threw them into the wastebasket. Under the watchful eyes, the documents were turned into fly ash one after another—this is what Alston said, "it can be complied with, or not complied with." .

As a law-abiding person, Goethe thought he should obey.

Staring at the burning ashes of the paper, Goethe didn't think about the 'Heisa' anymore.

There are enough records in the data.

leftover?

It can only be more secretive and impossible to record.

Such news cannot be imagined just by thinking.

It is necessary to ask.

Goethe picked up his phone and edited a text message to Oston.

Goethe: Details.

Auston: Interview?

Goethe: Dawn, Green High School, after my make-up exam.

Austin: Understood.

...

After a brief exchange, Goethe was completely relieved. He opened the bulky laptop and began to check the secret techniques he needed.

In the notebook in front of me, there are thousands of secret art catalogs and brief introductions, which are categorized and very easy to browse.

And Goethe also has a clear goal.

First of all: the ability to fuse and improve the mystic techniques he possesses at this stage.

Second: healing secrets.

Lastly: special types of mystic arts.

It's not that I don't want all of them, it's because [Blood Honor] is limited.

Goethe knew very well that he relied on [Blood Honor] to complete the cultivation of these secret arts.

Without the support of [Blood Honor], it would really take a long time to complete.

But he really doesn't have time.

So, Goethe formulated the requirements.

But even with these three prerequisites, there are still many secret techniques appearing in front of Goethe: "Fiender Curse", "Crkk Sect Fire Method", "Crkk Sect Divination", "Crkk Sect Healing Method", "Shiranui. Flame", "Shiranui. Flame", "Shiranui.Fire", "Crazy Flow. Cangyan", "Flame. Wushi", "Thousand Birds. Electric Shock", "Thousands of Birds. Lightning Strike", "Thousand Birds Singing", "Ancient Legend. Flame Finger", "Ancient Legend. Thunder Palm", "Ancient Legend. Changchun", "Ancient Legend. Blood Sky (Incomplete)", "Ancient Legend. One Success Power", "Ancient Legend. Not Under Me"...

One secret technique after another.

One introduction after another.

Goethe never knew that one day he would be troubled by too many secret arts.

"I hope the Western Federation will work harder and find enough [Blood Honor]."

Goethe thought so.

Of course, in Goethe's mind, once he has enough [Blood Honor], the first thing he will improve is definitely the [Steinbeck Breathing Method] - he wants to see how the extraordinary level [Steinbeck Breathing Method] will be. What does it look like.

Moreover, his intuition told him that this was the best choice.

As for money?

As the 'Director of the Western Federal Bureau of Abnormal Matters', how could he be short of money?

He can ask the Western Federation to 'borrow'.

The Western Federation will definitely lend it to him.

Goethe was very confident.

And after raising the [Steinbeck Breathing Method] to extraordinary, it is time to choose the corresponding secret technique to improve yourself depending on the situation.

Among so many secret arts, Goethe is very curious about the three secret arts of "Ancient Legend. Blood Sky (Incomplete)", "Ancient Legend. One Success Power" and "Ancient Legend. Not Under Me". According to the introduction.

"Ancient Legend. Blood Sky" should be a special secret art of blood.

"Ancient Legend. One Success Power" should be a secret technique that locks itself in on weekdays and then explodes at critical moments.

"Ancient Legend. Not Under Me" is a kind of spiritual secret technique, which will affect the hostile people who hear the words, making the other party depressed, powerless, and completely devoid of fighting spirit, while the people on our own side will be shocked when they hear it. It is forge ahead, brave, and high-spirited.

Goethe edited a text message to Austen on his mobile phone.

He informed the other party of his choice.

After all this was done, Goethe's expression froze.

He glanced at the rising sun outside the window.

call!

He took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm.

He put on his white shirt with buttons and picked up his schoolbag.

Goethe, whose whole body was full of determination, went out.

He, Goethe, is going to make up a make-up exam.

This time...

Must pass!

PS, Fat Dragon got up late... Cover your face!
