Sinmonger Chapter 7: Abhorrence
2101, February 17.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant in the air.
The five senses of the body gradually recovered, and I could feel the infusion tube on the left arm, and then I felt a tingling pain in the left half of the face, from under the left eye socket to the chin, there was a faint pain.
The paper man wanted to reach out and touch it, but the sound of the electronic door opening came at this moment. He looked down and two people in HL uniforms walked in. One is in his fifties, with white temples. Even from a distance, the scars on his face are very obvious. The other looks very young. The level represented is quite high.
"Officer Ellot Ness." Tea Fairy was the first to speak: "Or... Paper Man?"
The paper man did not answer the question, but asked himself: "Where is this place? Where is the blood owl?"
The man beside Cha Xian was the mentor Faro said, one of the top experts at HL Europe headquarters, Jason Luca, who served as the headquarter's capable instructor, and he used the officer's unique tone to deter Said: "Officer Ness, I would like to remind you that the Venice incident is still under investigation. Your position has not been clarified, and you are not qualified to ask questions."
Who knew that the paper man didn't care about him at all, he got up from the hospital bed and ripped off all the instruments attached to him: "I will submit a report to...anyone, your administrative procedures in a few days. I'm not interested." He found his clothes and trousers in the closet in the corner of the room, all washed and ironed, and all his belongings in a basket on the table.
"You've been in a coma for nearly five days, and the instrument showed signs of recovery 20 minutes ago. I don't think it's suitable for you to go out and hunt down the most wanted criminals of danger level 4 with your current physical condition." Cha Xian said calmly. .
The paper man still ignored it, he quickly put on his clothes, turned around and said, "Where are my shoes?"
Luca was already a little angry, and he said in a cold tone: "Officer Ness, if you refuse to have a friendly conversation, I have to arrange a formal interrogation process."
"If you can stop me, try it." The paper man walked out of the house with bare feet.
The tea fairy sighed: "Mr. Luca."
"Subordinate to."
"Try not to hurt him, it's work."
"Yes, sir."
After a brief conversation between the two, Luca came to the back of the paper man like a shadow, and the paper man's vision did not capture each other's movement trajectory at all, so for him, Luca was like a place disappeared in general.
Before he had time to react, his hands were already handcuffed behind his back, and the material of the handcuffs was unknown. The paper man struggled several times, but to no avail.
"I advise you not to do this action, otherwise it would be too ugly to have your feet cuffed by me." At this time, Luca came to the front of the paper man again.
A second before he spoke, Paper Man was about to do a roundhouse kick, but before he could move his hips, the opponent had already changed his standing position and saw through his intentions.
Seeing this, the paper man knew that in this environment without too much paper, he could not compete with the opponent, so he gave up the resistance by force and said: "The things you are interested in are nothing more than the nobles. Damn, all I can say is that Colonel Malone did it all, he hired..."
"Hire a killer of Silver Shadow, imitating the murderous technique of the blood owl, and trying to kill you and Lieutenant Colonel Faro when you are at war. The ultimate goal is the throne of the Doge of Venice." Tea Fairy interrupted. Paper Man's words: "In the past few days when you were in a coma, the truth has been revealed, at least within HL..." His implication was that the public and some nobles were still confused about this incident.
Luca also said: "The blood owl in your mouth, that is, Chevro Chirios, the biggest suspect in San Marco's 'Blood Midnight' ten years ago. That madman took Jim in an alley. Malone tore it to pieces, and then chased and killed those silver-shadowed killers throughout the city, none of the dead were whole corpses. In the end, he also captured three live ones and sent them to the door of our second division. " Listening to Luca's gnashing tone, the blood owl's behavior seemed to be riding on the facade of the HL organization to shit.
"Hehe...hahaha..." The paper man laughed, he obviously heard the meaning. Ma Long was the head of HL, but he joined forces with the likes of Yinying to kill nobles and seize power; while the blood owl did what a law enforcer should do, although in an extremely terrifying and cruel way...
When Luca saw the Paper Man laughing, just as he was about to have a seizure, Cha Xian reached out and stopped him: "Officer Ness, he's just smiling bitterly."
Paper Man's face sank instantly: "These are things I should have done. As a policeman, I am not as good as a murderer, and even this life is saved by luck under his subordinates... Weak, even choosing There is no right to die."
Seeing his strange expression, Cha Xian said, "Officer Ness, I hope you don't hold personal hatred..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Paper Man roared, "What's wrong with my left cheek?!" he asked suddenly.
The two in front of him fell silent.
"Huh...hehehe...I've seen it in your eyes..." Paper Man said, "That's why there are no mirrors in the house."
Cha Xian decided to leave the topic: "Officer Ness, you are the only one who survived the fight with the blood owl, and you are the key to catch him, I hope you can Work with us."
The paper man tore off the artificial skin on his left face and saw that the left side of the bridge of his nose~IndoMTL.com~ starts from the left eye socket and extends to the chin. About one-third of the face has been removed. No intact skin, mottled flesh beneath, no lips, teeth and gums all exposed. The reason why he could speak normally and did not feel severe pain just now was all thanks to the superb medical technology of this year.
The paper man also understands this kind of technology. The plastic surgery department of ordinary hospitals also uses this kind of method to treat severely burned patients. This part of his face can never be healed, and the pain will gradually disappear after a period of time. The outermost layer is made of artificial cells, which can replace the skin and will soon adapt to the condition of being exposed to the air. As for the outer layer of artificial skin, it is purely for aesthetics. In the state where the flesh and bones are exposed, there is no infection.
Paper Man's pathology report floated up from the bedside, and layers of paper covered half of his face. At first glance, it looked like a mummy's bandage. Those papers fit together with his face. It looks like a large blank is embedded in a face puzzle. It was like a paper face wrapped in human skin, but a part of the paper was exposed.
"What's your name?" The paper man looked at Cha Xiandao.
Luca said: "Officer, pay attention to your words."
The tea fairy doesn't mind: "Klauser Wittstock."
"Oh, the seventh prince who doesn't stay in the palace, but wants to go to HL." It seems that the paper man has heard his name: "Is that a tea fairy?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Cha Xian's mouth: "The blood owl is one of the prey I am very interested in. Officer Ness, no... Paper Man, I need your power for this hunt."
Paper Man said: "I can't ask for it."
"Then, follow me and use this new look to wash away the humiliation."
