Latent Syndrome

Chapter 188 187. The Curse of the Pope

Just as Violet said, the liaison officer of the first department soon received a reply, asking Colin to meet at the designated location and informing him that he would be assigned a partner who was not an infected person.

You can think with your knees that this so-called partner is the silver-haired woman next to you who smokes, drinks, and perms her hair.

Colin realized that he could no longer get rid of Violet. It was not that he was disgusted, but that this woman had too many tricks.

"Well...it's more serious than last time."

"Your death star is getting closer and closer to you."

"And you are contaminated with something unknown."

Considering that she was going to travel a long distance, Violet bought a car at her own expense. She originally planned to buy a two-seater supercar, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be too bad to show off in the market. This is not just playing house, so she bought a car that was quite awkward. An eye-catching Jeep off-road vehicle.

"You already said it last time."

Colin knew that he had become notorious. Hugo's importance in the underground world was far beyond what Randy and Johnny could compare with. Before coming to Los Angeles, Hugo had carried out many external punishments, and those methods of communicating with gods were already The person at the top of the infected pyramid, and he killed him, is now being pushed to the forefront.

Because of his reputation, he must have become the SCT's primary target for eradication.

"Is it."

"But it's true that you have something dirty on your body."

"You killed the Pope. He was a powerful person with a radiation index close to 3. When he comes into contact with such shackles, wonderful things often happen."

"I should have told you that after death, a person does not reach true death. The stronger the thought, the more the same is true."

"You are surrounded by an aura that does not belong to you."

"You may be cursed by the Pope."

Violet said extremely seriously, not even the slightest bit joking.

"curse?"

Colin frowned. Since the battle with the Pope, those hallucinations and nightmares have never come to him again. His body has undergone qualitative changes. Where did the curse come from?

Suddenly he recalled that before he blew Hugo's head off, Hugo's eyes were full of weirdness.

"Anyway, be careful. This is not some voodoo trick. It is the real thing. There is something that is haunting you. Even I can't figure out what it is. I can't find it in any documents."

"If I have time, I can perform an exorcism ritual on you. I have to give it a try."

Violet took out her phone and checked the date. She could only stay in Los Angeles for two days at most.

"Can't you do it now?"

Colin is a little worried. He is completely different from what he used to be. He no longer knows how to describe this feeling. Although the hallucinations and nightmares are gone, he will be exposed to some weirder things. The alien space where he draws his power always comes from The unsettling murmur, the kind of faint sound that travels through the void, is extremely familiar but also has a strangeness that seems to be from another world.

It happened to be this kind of thing that made Colin worry. The feeling of powerlessness that plunged into a deeper whirlpool. He might have heard the exorcism ritual as a joke before, but it was always a good thing to have some eyebrows.

"Of course not, I have to get my hair done later."

"And the ceremony must be chosen at the right time, preferably at night, and it must be assisted by some props."

"For example, mifepristone, sildenafil, petroleum jelly."

"You go to meet him first... I've already met that person. It's really boring. You can come to me later."

Violet helped Colin adjust his collar and blew a breath in his ear.

"Get out of here."

Colin was convinced. The god damn exorcism ceremony was very sexy and sexy. He deliberately teased people. He probably did this kind of thing less often, so he just ignored it.

…

…

…

The number of deaths caused by the SCT, as well as the citizens vaporized in the St. George District, has exceeded the total number of victims of the Liberty League in the past century.

Behind every number, there is a broken family and the difficult second half of life of a loved one. There are very few owner-occupied houses in the St. George area, and most of them are young people from other places who come to pursue the California dream.

Some people who were imprisoned in the city could only survive on the food and materials provided by the city hall when the market economy chain collapsed.

Although the reconstruction work was carried out quickly and was resumed under the high-pressure policy of the city hall, it could not be completed in just half a month.

Due to the blockade, it has become quite troublesome to apply for various licenses. Only some businesses supporting local industries are still open, but they are relatively few.

But Luo City is still Luo City after all. Even after encountering such a big turmoil, the flow of people in the bustling areas is still considerable. Latent Syndrome has become a well-known fact among the citizens. Maybe it feels safer to get together, but it is still People were coming and going, but everyone looked a little more gloomy.

Colin came to the central business district and went to a cafe that had no business at all. The liaison officer from the first department was waiting for him here.

As Violet said, he looks boring at first glance. The middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt and glasses looks like the ultimate boring person who has passed Silicon Valley.

The liaison officer saw Colin at a glance and invited him to sit down and talk in detail.

After introducing myself, I got down to business with Colin.

"Although your application to enter the first subject has been approved, considering that you have been there for some time..."

With a smile on his face, the liaison officer considered his words and said, "There are differences in the cooperation with Section 11, so many internal information networks and databases cannot be shared yet. Please forgive me."

Seeing that something was wrong with Colin's face, he didn't dare to slow down for half a second and said quickly: "But there are a lot of things that should be there."

"This is a magnetic card. All official systems within the Allied countries can be used unimpeded. All airports and stations do not require a penny. All information except the first confidential information can be viewed. All official agencies can provide it unconditionally. support."

"This is a communication terminal for sending and receiving messages. The last thing is the highlight. This is the Alliance Savings Bank Card with no limit. Every purchase you make comes from the sponsorship of the Freedom Alliance Congress."

The liaison officer showed the three things, put them into a document bag, and handed them to Colin.

"No limit?"

So Colin's mind is also a little disturbed now, will Congress help? This sounds really cool.

"Of course it's not entirely true. You can't buy the power of a country in one fell swoop."

"Under certain circumstances, the transaction will be subject to review, but it is equivalent to none. For example, if you want to purchase more than five sets of valuable real estate at one time, then of course you need to specify the specific purpose, but don't worry, we have specialists to handle it. high speed."

"If it's just relatively normal consumption, it's enough if you change one car a day."

The liaison explained.

Although Colin still didn't understand the specific concept, but changing a car a day? Who the hell would be so insane?

"If I spend 200,000 yuan every day for a month, is this feasible?"

Colin asked, with the purchasing power of 200,000 yuan in the Freedom Alliance, it is enough to buy three or four mid- to high-end cars.

So Colin still can't figure out why his reward is so outrageous. It was originally eight million, but now it has soared to ten million.

"Then it seems you don't need to worry about this issue."

"I said on the phone that you will act with the arranged partner next. This person..."

Don't wait for the liaison to finish.

"It's called Violet, right?"

Thinking of this, Colin felt a little depressed again.

"That's not true. Her name is Luna, and she is a... warlock who temporarily cooperates with the first department, so to speak."

The liaison officer didn't know much about this woman's background. ,

Colin was completely convinced. Luna was okay. Isn't this still the same thing as the Moon Goddess?
