I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 360: True or False Thief, Mr. X Falls into a Trap

Mr. X used the power of "satellite" astrology to transmit images across a thousand miles, which soon alarmed the entire JICA headquarters.

As Mr. X expected, federal officials had no idea what kind of monster this was.

But the Gameni people put in a lot of effort, and even a six-man team of psychics sent by the Mountain of Gods was ambushed by the monster and killed instantly, and they still couldn't figure out what the monster looked like.

This important video footage quickly alarmed the entire JICA headquarters.

One minute later.

The intelligence center responsible for the internal affairs of the Federation made a surprising discovery.

"Report! I just compared the facial recognition system. The facial features of this monster are very similar to those of a supervisor named 'Kalia' at the headquarters."

An employee shouted in shock.

This sentence instantly caused an uproar in the large open-plan office.

A senior intelligence officer with curly hair asked repeatedly: "Eric, are you sure? This is not a joke."

The employee called "Eric" nodded heavily: "Of course! I checked it three times, and the recognition system shows that the similarity is over 98%."

Generally speaking, if the similarity is more than 90%, it can be basically determined that they are the same person.

Of course there are exceptions, that is - twins.

But twins are a special case after all.

The curly-haired intelligence officer walked over and glanced at the computer screen. He saw the data of 98.6% and was still a little bit unbelievable.

The people from JICA turned into monsters and started killing people in the capital, Shiroishi Castle?
Isn't this ridiculous?!
Eric glanced at his boss and said, "Boss, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone else to check it."

The curly-haired intelligence officer immediately named a few people: "Carlo, Chris, Williams, you guys come and compare yourself."

Several staff members responded and immediately opened the identification system for verification.

In order to improve accuracy, they captured images from different segments of the video and then compared them using the recognition system.

A large number of staff gathered around, waiting for the outcome of this matter.

The curly-haired intelligence officer didn't stop.

soon.

The result came out.

The crowd's commotion grew louder.

"97.6%, 98.3%, 96.5%. All three results are above 95%. It seems that it can be confirmed that it is Director Kalia."

"How could Director Kalia become such a terrifying monster? What on earth happened here?"

At this time.

Another employee reported another piece of news with a shocked look on his face: "Boss, I just checked. Supervisor Kalia came to work this morning, and the attendance system has the facial check-in data of this lady."

He paused, then continued, “I also saw the video of Director Kalia driving in from the West Third Gate.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned the monitor around.

The scene displayed on the screen was Ms. Kalia sitting in the car and lowering the window to sign in with her face.

The curly-haired intelligence officer was stunned.

The crowd's chatter grew louder.

"What a hell!"

"If Ms. Kalia came to work at the headquarters, why does the monster look so similar to her?"

"It's hard to say who the real Ms. Kalia is. Maybe the one who comes to work is an imposter."

Even a fool knows that there is definitely a problem here, and it is a very big problem.

A bystander suddenly made a terrifying guess: "Is there a possibility that Ms. Kalia, who came to work today, will turn into a ferocious monster later?"

This sentence made everyone look horrified.

Last time, the monster suddenly appeared at the JICA headquarters and caused a horrific massacre.

Almost all the people in the two buildings were killed, and the intelligence center responsible for the East Continent was completely wiped out. Until now, both buildings have been in a blockade.

This tragedy gave everyone present nightmares for several days.

If Ms. Kalia really turned into a monster and massacred the JICA headquarters again, how many people present could survive?
Many people become more and more afraid the more they think about it, and even have the urge to skip work.

Seeing that his subordinates looked unhappy, the curly-haired intelligence officer shouted, "This is completely groundless speculation. Maybe the monster just happened to see Ms. Kalia and turned into her."

But no one believed him.

How could it be a coincidence that the monster was so similar to Lady Kalia?
The curly-haired intelligence officer added, "You continue to investigate Ms. Kalia's matter. I must report to my superiors."

He also emphasized: "What happened just now is confidential. No one is allowed to leave this building."

The employees cursed in their hearts when they heard this.

Damn bastard, you can run faster than anyone else, but you forbid us to leave the building!

The curly-haired intelligence officer looked around with a stern look, said "Get to work," and left in a hurry.

Half an hour passed.

Inside a secure meeting room.

An emergency meeting was called.

Most of the participants were senior officials of JICA, and the meeting was chaired by Kurt, the Deputy Minister of JICA.

The curly-haired intelligence officer was also present as the "discoverer".

He reported the relevant situation in a torrent of words.

“Everyone, we discovered something very surprising through the facial recognition system.

“This monster that slaughtered thousands of people actually has a human face and looks very similar to Ms. Kalia, the director of the JICA Strategic Planning Center.

“After we found this out, we tried to contact Ms. Kalia but were unable to reach the lady.

"We conducted an urgent investigation and found that Ms. Kalia drove a Ladybug luxury car into the underground parking lot, entered the sixth floor of Building 11 through the elevator, and then went to the bathroom and disappeared."

The large screen in the conference room displayed relevant footage at the appropriate time.

Ms. Kalia walked into a women's bathroom with graceful steps.

There is no camera installed in the bathroom, so this is the only thing you can see.

The screen flashed, showing a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition, cautiously entering the bathroom with guns raised.

They checked every corner of the bathroom and didn't see a single person.

Kurt spoke up and expressed his opinion: "It seems that Ms. Kalia has a big problem. She is the biggest suspect in this monster attack."

This view is not difficult to understand.

Ms. Kalia's behavior can be described as "sneaky".

The monster attack happened only after she entered the JICA headquarters.

This is indeed easy to arouse suspicion.

Poor Ms. Kalia did nothing, but the blame fell from the sky.

Another senior official made a guess: "Maybe Ms. Kalia has mastered some method to create this bloodthirsty monster."

Kurt agreed: "It's possible."

The curly-haired intelligence officer continued to narrate the situation: “We reviewed more footage and discovered another strange thing.

"The day before yesterday, a Xia woman named Zhang Hehua walked into Ms. Kalia's residence in the morning and never came out again.

"This woman came here to practice baseball ten years ago, and got a federal green card through marriage eight years ago. She now rents a house in the East Fifth District, and her current financial situation is very bad.

“Logically speaking, Ms. Kalia and Zhang Hehua have completely different social circles, so the two should have no way of knowing each other.

"Zhang Hehua just turned the doorknob of Ms. Kalia's house, and the door suddenly opened. After Zhang Hehua went in, Ms. Kalia did not call the police.

"After analysis, we believe that Zhang Hehua was most likely a guest invited by Ms. Kalia to visit us, but we don't know why Ms. Kalia did this.

"Just today, one minute before the Red Shark Company was attacked, the security door of the residence was suddenly knocked away and shattered into pieces that fell on the street. It seemed that something had broken out."

One of the participants immediately said: “If my guess is correct, this poor woman named Zhang Hehua is most likely the prey chosen by Ms. Kalia.

“This lady used some evil means to transform Zhang Hehua into a monster, which is why their faces are so similar.

"After Ms. Kalia came to work at the headquarters, the monster suddenly lost control and escaped from the house. Seeing that the situation was not good, the lady hid herself."

This statement sounds very logical and the cause and effect relationship is also very tight.

Many people spoke up to express their agreement.

"Makes sense!"

"I think so!"

Even Deputy Minister Kurt nodded slightly.

No one knows that the person they think is the mastermind behind this, Ms. Kalia, is the poor victim.

And the victim they thought was Zhang Hehua almost suffocated Ms. Kalia with a towel and rested in the latter's home for a day and a night.

Another participant asked a key question: "Why would the monster attack places including Red Shark Company?"

This sentence implies a meaning - the questioner understands that there is some connection between these attacked places.

This is actually an open secret.

The curly-haired intelligence officer replied: "According to the information we have, Zhang Hehua borrowed money from a gang some time ago, and now the gang is collecting the debt from her, so the monster's attack on the Red Shark Company should be revenge."

The questioner said "Oh" and said softly, "No wonder."

Everyone else had an awkward look on their faces and tacitly ignored the question.

Because based on these words, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion - the gang has already targeted Zhang Hehua and plans to kidnap and sell her.

Immigrants like Zhang Hehua, who have no one to rely on, are naturally the favorite prey of gangs.

Even if she was sold, no one would care, and no one would be willing to do anything about it.

Zhang Hehua knew that the gang was planning to sell her out, so she turned into a monster and took revenge on the gangs. Isn't that normal?

One attendee muttered quietly: "Gangs cause too much trouble."

Kurt frowned, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Things concerning gangs are not the topic for discussion today."

The person who just spoke quickly shut his mouth tightly.

In fact, everyone present knew that the human trafficking network composed of many gangs was secretly controlled by the Mountain of Gods.

From the perspective of federal officials, gangs play a very large role.

first.

The gang trafficked a large number of people, providing an endless supply of transformed experimental subjects for the Mountain of Gods.

It is impossible for federal officials to do this kind of thing personally, so it is most appropriate to leave it to the gangs.

The best thing is that if any trouble occurs, the gangs can be directly ordered to send out a few scapegoats to calm public anger.

If there were no gangs, the Federation would never be able to possess so many modified weapons, and its strength in the supernatural field would be far behind Eastern Daxia.

An assessment has been made within the Federation, and it is believed that the Federation now has a large number of modified weapons and its strength is at least 80% of that of Daxia.

Secondly.

Today, all powerful figures in the federation, including the Grand Commander, have enjoyed the longevity ceremony at the Mountain of Gods, which has greatly increased their lifespans.

Each life-extending ritual would consume at least dozens of human sacrifices, and at most hundreds of sacrifices.

These human sacrifices all come from human trafficking networks.

The bigwigs in the Federation all want to live longer, so how could they tolerate anyone messing with their gangs?

Kurt understood this very well, so he warned his subordinates not to cause trouble.

Come three.

Some big shots have close ties with gangs, and gangs do a lot of dirty work for these big shots.

For example, some short-sighted guy exposes the dirty deeds of big shots on social platforms.

It is not convenient for the big shots to deal with such people personally, so they will instruct the gangs to make them disappear completely.

For example, a big shot likes little girls very much, so the gang gets a group of beautiful little girls to be used by the big shot at any time.

Kurt has heard too many similar stories in the past year or so.

The more this senior official knew, the more he realized that the gang could not act recklessly, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

At this time.

Kurt cleared his throat and concluded: "Based on the existing information, it can be basically confirmed that Ms. Kalia should be the mastermind behind the monster attack."

None of the participants raised any objection.

Kurt added: “The Gods Mountain is taking over the task of dealing with the monsters. They have mobilized more than two hundred modified weapons, and the federal military has also been dispatched. We don’t need to worry too much.

"Our main task is to find Ms. Kalia. She must have some ulterior motive in creating the monster.

"If we don't get rid of Ms. Kalia as soon as possible, she will definitely cause more trouble, and then JICA will also be in trouble."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Ms. Kalia is from JICA. The longer she lives, the harder life will become for JICA.

Kurt paused and came up with a plan: "We must not delay too long, please ask Mr. X to take action!"

"understand!"

*
ten minutes later.

One thousand five hundred kilometers away.

Nebra City.

"Om~"

Mr. X lay on the sofa with his eyes closed. He felt the vibration of the monocular again and cursed: "Shit!"

Just now, he used the power of satellite astrology to trace the true appearance of the monster and transmitted the image to Bai Shi City through the air, which consumed a lot of mental energy and caused his head to become more and more painful.

Now Bai Shicheng called out again, and he really didn't want to respond. He just wanted to have a good rest.

But Mr. X finally sighed, sat up with some difficulty, and reached out to pick up the monocular.

no way.

He recently studied Daxia culture and heard a saying that goes "If you want to take something, you must first give it."

This means that if you want to gain something, you must pay the corresponding price.

If he wants to get wealth, power and women from the federal officials, he has to help the federal officials solve their problems.

Mr. X thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

He saw from a distance that the person holding the monocular telescope in the Baishi City contact point was no longer a military colonel, but a middle-aged man.

Mr. X was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself, "Why is it someone from JICA?"

The middle-aged man said quickly: "Dear Mr. X, my name is Patrick, JICA needs your help, the situation is like this..."

Patrick took two minutes to quickly introduce the cause and effect.

X was a little speechless after hearing this.

You're just looking for an old woman, and you need my help?
Patrick acted quite politely: "Mr. X, we have prepared a VIP card of the Garden of Eden for you, with 100 million credit points deposited in it as your reward."

Mr. X was immediately attracted.

He naturally knew that the so-called "Garden of Eden" was a trading platform established by the Mountain of Gods.

This platform is not open to ordinary people. Its members are either powerful people or people with supernatural powers.

There is almost everything in the Garden of Eden. You can buy supplies that are not available on the market, various weapons and equipment, and even women can be purchased.

A young, beautiful, blonde white girl who has undergone special training. The price is usually between 10 and 15 credit points. They can do anything for their master.

JICA is willing to provide 100 million credit points, which can be considered a sign of sincerity.

Of course, population is a restricted transaction and requires special permissions to purchase.

Mr. X did not reply immediately, but deliberately waited for two seconds, pretending to think seriously, before responding: "Okay, I'll do it!"

Patrick thanked: "Thank you very much for your help."

Mr. X made another request: "I need an item that Ms. Kalia uses on a daily basis, such as a bag she carries with her, or a watch or something like that."

Patrick asked, "Is the gold pen that Ms. Kalia often uses in the office okay?"

Mr. X replied, “Yes!”

soon.

The golden pen was taken away.

Mr. X held the monocular telescope in both hands and pointed it at the ceiling above.

The telescope buzzed a few times, and his pupils emitted a faint light.

next moment.

Mr. X saw a strange image.

A fairly slim figure, clean from head to toe, wearing a glittering golden mask, was standing in the darkness.

This strange shape made him unable to help but look at it several more times.

He was a little surprised that a woman in her 50s could maintain such a good figure.

The most peculiar thing is that Mr. X can only sense that the other party is hiding in the JICA headquarters, not far from the monocular telescope, but he cannot lock the other party's exact location.

at this time.

Mr. X suddenly felt dizzy and his headache became more severe.

The illusion disappeared.

"hiss!"

He couldn't help but scream in pain and quickly put down the telescope.

It took Mr. X a long time to contact the JICA headquarters again.

He said with a strange look on his face: "I saw the target, she was wearing a golden mask."

Patrick was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What does the golden mask look like?"

Mr. X, please give a brief description.

Patrick shouted in shock, "This is the golden mask that Councillor Alfred lost. It turns out that Ms. Kalia is the chivalrous thief of White Stone City!"

Mr. X was also a little surprised.

He had heard of the title of Knight Thief.

In recent months, a skilled thief called "Xia Dao" has appeared in the capital city of Baishi.

This person never targeted ordinary people, but only stole things from the homes of dignitaries.

This thief committed crimes repeatedly, but the federal officials were completely helpless against him, which shows how sophisticated his methods are.

on the other hand.

The trace of worry hidden deep in Mr. X's heart also disappeared.

He had always been worried that the Great Xia Crow might intervene in this matter and use it to find his own nest.

But the chivalrous thief should have nothing to do with the Great Xia Raven.

Because the thief committed his first crime four or five months earlier than the time when the Great Xia Crow began to track him down.

Patrick's tone became excited: "Mr. X, please help find Ms. Kalia. We will definitely reward you more later."

Mr. X naturally had no objection: "Of course!"

*
East District 5.

The moment Mr. X saw the golden mask.

Yang Fan immediately sensed it.

Because he was the real chivalrous thief, before he handed the golden mask to Zhang Hehua, he secretly tampered with it.

He stood by the window, looked up at the sky, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Mr. X, it seems that you have fallen into a trap."

The power of satellite astrology has not disappeared.

This shows that Mr. X has completely let down his guard.

The time to close the net has finally arrived.
