Chapter 723: Weakness
Coming out of the safe house provided by Frank, Kane says goodbye to Thomas and Sandra and goes their separate ways.
Both of them had families, and this time they had provoked a hypocritical and murderous cult, and both of them thought it would be more appropriate to settle their families properly and then talk about work.
Kevin's situation is slightly different, he comes from a family of famous doctors, his grandfather, father, brother, and sister are all doctors, and they are among the top five in their respective fields.
He was also relatively well-behaved in his early years, walking step by step on the life path arranged for him by his elders, but a supernatural event changed his life.
His girlfriend died in the incident, but until now, the official judgment is still that it was a stimulant prescription drug that caused the death by accidental ingestion and allergies.
To do this, he first switched to forensic medicine, and then dropped out of school altogether.
It was accompanied by a series of deviant behaviors, quarreling with family members and small quarrels to lose their feelings, and finally running away from home, even giving up their surnames.
In the blink of an eye, it's been almost ten years, and I didn't even attend the funeral of my grandfather's death. The old friends didn't know about him, and it can be said that he cut off all the past.
However, to be honest, he is not without concern at all.
He has two women, 9 years younger than him and 8 years older than him. It's kind of a jerk to say.
When he ran away from home, he was young and vigorous, coupled with his dedication to death, and he had to rub into the circle of investigators.
A stunned young man like him is easy to be used, and often the name of an investigator's assistant becomes someone else's horse boy and cannon fodder. More than 100,000 young people die or go missing every year around the world.
However, Kevin was lucky enough to meet the nobleman, a veteran investigator, and Sam with a venomous mouth.
At the beginning, the relationship between the two was average, but later because of a case, after sharing hardships and hardships, they opened their hearts, and after an in-depth chat, they found that it was a bit of the same as the end of the world.
Sam is a dead wife, Kevin is a dead girlfriend, both are victims of extraordinary events, and they entered the industry because of this.
After that, the relationship between the two changed, and they were both teachers and friends, and they were quite deed. It can be said that Kevin was brought out by Sam and inherited Sam's mantle, and was able to become an elite investigator at the age of 26, which is directly related to Sam's selfless teaching and promotion (a case that is easy to produce results).
There is a superstitious saying in the investigator industry: investigators who have not retired after the age of 45 rarely die well.
Sam, a well-known veteran in the industry, went crazy at the age of 46, and Kevin was 26 at the time, and the difference between the two was 20 years old.
From Kane's point of view, there are two very reasonable factors behind this superstitious statement in the investigator industry.
The first is the issue of vision.
Most investigators are over 25 years old, this is because the profession has high requirements for personnel skills, it can be said to be a special agent level occupation, in the absence of a special training institution, generally only over 25 years old, in order to accumulate enough basic skills to be competent for the job.
25-45, in the past 20 years, the average is about 40 transcendent cases, of which at least one-third are not harmed by divine irradiation, that is, they participated, but did not lose their San value.
Of the remaining more than 20 cases, nearly half of them had to be skimmed because the San value was not serious, and they were basically recovered later.
That is to say, on average, a qualified investigator will be mentally damaged more than a dozen times in 20 years, the kind that will be permanently damaged and leave sequelae.
And the proportional relationship between the San value and the spiritual vision is basically determined, the longer the practice time (provided that you are not crazy), the higher the spiritual vision, the stronger the professional ability, and the more likely it is to collapse.
Therefore, generally by the age of 45, it is almost the limit, and they all suffer from a certain degree of mental illness, the so-called auditory hallucinations, which are actually caused by the evil god force field.
If the evil god is a super-high-power radio station, the behavior of constantly enhancing spiritual vision is like a little bit of frequency modulation on the radio, and the signal reception is getting better and better, and once it is really connected, death is considered a good ending.
For mortals, the Cthulhu universe is such a dark, cold, weird and desperate world, death is just the beginning, all kinds of life is worse than death, it is considered a normal phenomenon.
In addition, at the age of 45, even if you know how to maintain health, your body is already going downhill. Mortals are rarely able to deal with the relationship between spirit and body, and the work of investigators is often a mixture of minor injuries and major troubles, but the increasing level of spiritual vision means that the state of the soul is stimulatingly expanded.
The end result is that the aging and injured body cannot support the powerful soul, so that the soul takes on a hyperactive burning form. The external manifestations are insomnia, neurasthenia, etc., coupled with the torture of the evil god force field brought by spiritual vision, which can really drive people crazy.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, the investigator is a half-hung mage who does not learn and has no skills but has to mess around in the mage tower, and the mage's skills and benefits are not much, and he is in the company of magic all day long, so that the problem of eroded profits and losses is even more serious than that of mages.
Kane, who has such a cognition, naturally thinks that Sam is 46 years old crazy, and it is not surprising that the well-known investigator, the word 'well-known' is really fought for his life, and there are few luck.
Sam is crazy, and Kevin thinks he has an obligation to take care of his family.
In the words that are easier for people to think dirty: "Don't worry, your wife and daughter, I will raise you!"
As a result, the bastard thing was realized, and they were really all raised to bed.
Kevin's two women are Sam's second wife, Jenny, and his first daughter, Lana.
Seriously, it is not a shame to be incorruptible, it is better to be a beast, take advantage of the void, but have their own stories.
and Lana because of an extraordinary incident, which has something to do with Phoenix's daughter, the two are classmates, and the main object of Kevin's rescue is Lana, and the person he saved with his hand has brought him a great boost in his career.
When Sam's first wife, Lana's biological mother, died, Lana was in a rebellious phase. The father and daughter play together with an unbalanced mentality, and the relationship gets worse and worse. Lana fights against Sam with a gambling attitude, and if Sam doesn't let him, she wants to fix it.
Triggering an extraordinary event is an act of death in this state of mind.
Before she came into contact with the Transcendent, Lana had always thought that Sam was a liar who used superstitious rhetoric to fool people, and was obsessed with Sam's superstitious explanation of his mother's death.
Sam was crazy, and she didn't forgive the other until she got into an accident and was almost reincarnated by a bunch of evil creatures.
Then, the goodwill caused by Kevin's heroic act of salvation, as well as the guilt for his father, finally prompted Lana to pin her feelings on Kevin.
At that time, Kevin actually had a leg with Jenny.
Jenny is a doctor, and she is also a woman who inherits her father's business and runs her own private practice. Among the patients she treats is investigators.
Sam was also introduced to Jenny by someone to see her. And in the most frustrated days when Sam died of his wife and turned against his daughter, Jenny took care of him from work to life, becoming a harbor for him to recuperate, and the two came together in this way.
But in the years before Sam went crazy, Jenny was physically and mentally injured. At that time, Sam's illness had already begun to manifest, and he was irritable, moody, and sometimes even evil.
Sam also shows the forgetfulness of an old man, turning over old accounts, nagging, etc., the biggest problem is that in his old accounts, his wife's death has always been haunted, obsessed, but solved the unjustified part, Sam is always churning these, and almost delusional to carry out some unrealistic operations, which is torture and torment for Jenny.
In fact, Kevin, an apprentice, and even colleagues in the firm were tortured. But in terms of work, the strength of experience, vision, etc., makes Sam the top investigator, so a little bit of temper, a little crazy, and even a little perverted, others will put up with it.
In life, it's really unbearable to bump and bump all day long. Sam was a five-headed moth in three days, and Kevin often ran to his house, coming and going, and he became very familiar with Jenny.
For women, those who can make themselves not avoid ugliness are very close people, and Kevin is naturally not uncommon to see Jenny's embarrassed side, including being abused or something.
When Sam is completely crazy and dehumanized, and can only be sent to a special ward in a mental hospital, in order to basically ensure that he does not hurt others and himself, for Kevin and Jenny, it is similar to the feeling of waiting for and urine in the hospital bed for 10 years to finally stay up to the west, in addition to the sadness, it is more of a sense of relief.
The two chatted about Sam from their own perspectives, and then talked about each other's past, and as a result, they talked about the deed, and emotionally, one of them didn't hold it, and went to bed.
At the beginning, the two were reserved for this relationship for a while, but one was the year of the tiger and wolf, no rain and dew for many years, and the soul was tired, and he was not in the mood to meet the new opposite sex, and the other was alone, doing a high-risk job where danger and weirdness coexisted, and he was also in no mood to meet the opposite sex.
As a result, a simple exchange of holiday gifts can once again spark a spark of passion, and then there is no shame.
For Kevin, Bensi's Jenny actually represents the emotional sustenance of his family from the bottom of his heart, after all, Jenny is also from a family of doctors, and gives him the warmth that only a mature woman like a mother and wife can give.
I have to say that whether it is cultural literacy, talent, character, or appearance, Kevin must be above Sam.
Especially these years of experience, Kevin has matured, a 30-year-old man, with the stability and practice of a 40-year-old man, the charm is naturally just.
Jenny feels that her face is aging, and the unclear lover relationship is afraid that it will not last long, and it just so happens that Lana's impression of her father is reversed 180 degrees after the transcendent event, and while she is willing to get close to Kevin and Jenny, she also has a strong interest in the investigator's various things, and therefore loves Kevin, so Jenny and Lana reconciled, and the relationship quickly warmed up. And arranged a 'surprise meal' for Kevin.
To put it simply, it is the joy of bedding, blindfolded games, and substitutions halfway. By the time Kevin realized something was wrong, it was already there. Kevin is not a saint either, in the face of a young and beautiful girl who is half-done and says to retreat, he still doesn't have the determination. So it became a threesome.
Before Kevin died, he had already made his relationship with Lana clear and promised Jenny and Lana that he would retire at the age of 32. After all, he started high, entered the industry early, and has good connections, and now he is a first-class person, with a lot of income, even if he is just a consultant after retirement, there is no problem in maintaining a middle-class life.
Then naturally, I went all out to make a few orders and completely became famous.
And then it hangs up.
During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, Kane also suffered temporary amnesia due to a concussion in his head, so that Jenny and Lana could be fooled.
But this is a thing after all, he is not Kevin, although he has a lot of Kevin's memory information, but he doesn't want to wronged himself to play Kevin.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is not here to be a pick-up man, which has nothing to do with whether the two girls are beautiful or not, and whether the relationship is taboo and unthinkable.
Kane, on the other hand, like most people, is reluctant to indebted to others as easily as he can.
This is a basic manifestation of self-esteem.
Generally speaking, the more capable and confident people are, the more demanding they are in this regard.
Kane is a little melancholy now, on the one hand, he doesn't want to have too much entanglement with the two women, but on the other hand, he wants to give the two women an explanation that he can approve.
Originally, if it could be delayed for a year and a half, it would be able to change the cognition of the two of them through multiple ritual spells in a row (it is difficult to reverse the deep memory), but the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and now I have to interact with it deeply.
After all, according to his analysis of ideas, the Atonement Faction kidnapped the two female wheels, and then sent him a video to blackmail him, this kind of thing is capable. If it were going to happen, it would be disgusting.
So, coming out of the safe house, while there was still some time, Kane drove directly to Jenny's private clinic first.
When I arrived at the place, I went straight inside, and the staff at the clinic desk knew Kevin, and when they saw him so reckless, they hurriedly said, "Ms. Lawrence is working." ”
"I know. Kane kept walking and kept going inside.
The door to the infirmary was closed, and Kane unscrewed it open and entered, prompting a woman to scream, "What are you doing!?"
It turned out that Jenny was examining a female patient, although there was a screen, but Kane came over in a daze, and the female patient naturally showed an offended annoyance.
Then, under Jenny's startled gaze, Kane punched the half-lying and half-seated female patient in the face.
What happened after that shocked Jenny, the female patient's body was just twisted like that, and she moved sideways by one meter in one fell swoop, dodging Kane's punch.
This action is very unreasonable, and it can even be said that it is not human.
But the female patient still couldn't dodge Kane's fist, Kane seemed to know how to dodge and where to dodge, and another fist struck out and smashed right on the female patient's forehead.
This punch did not have extraordinary power, but there was no lack of technical force, and the concussive force passed through the skull and directly aimed at the brain, and the female patient fainted directly.
"Pack up our things, we'll leave now. When you go out for a while, you need a long vacation. ”
Kane said as he looked around, and soon found what he wanted, cotton swabs.
Pinching with one hand, the fingers of the other hand slowly pulled along the thin rod of the cotton swab, and the cotton swab turned into a pencil-lead-like slender charcoal in a puff of green smoke.
Kane then lifted the female patient up, put her upper body on the hospital bed, her back up, and then pressed her body against the back of her buttocks, and pressed her head with the other hand, stabbing charcoal into the back of the female patient's neck like acupuncture.
The female patient quickly convulsed and wanted to get up, but was pressed to death by Kane and wanted to retreat, but was resisted by Kane. The most peculiar thing is that a pair of arms seem to have been completely broken, and they can never exert their strength when they lie on their stomachs, at most they tremble.
Jenny is studying medicine, and she can see some doorways, Kane's operation is crazy in her opinion, the central nervous system behind the brain with the densest nerve bundle, this place can also be pierced casually?
Kane was engrossed, his eyes stared at the needle part without blinking, and said solemnly: "It's all cleaned up?"
"Oh, no, I'm sorry!" Jenny answered, and hurried to clean up, unlike ordinary women, she was also indirectly trained by Sam, and she could distinguish between priorities and priorities, knowing that the current situation was extraordinary, and no matter how many questions she had, she would come back to it. Get started with the moves.
