Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Capitol Building, National Statuary Hall.

When Luke arrived, the area was already under martial law.

Of course, under the effect of [Psychological Invisibility], he still walked in smoothly.

As he got closer to the center of the incident, he also inadvertently discovered several extraordinary beings who had come in in various ways and lurked in certain locations. They were probably individuals or forces interested in the Solomon family.

The person in charge of the on-site investigation was the FBI man. He cleared his throat and said calmly: "Friends in the dark, please show up!"

Although the volume of the voice was very low, it spread throughout the entire hall, and it seemed to have some kind of bewitching power, making people subconsciously want to follow his instructions.

Luke easily suppressed the urge to show up, but the same could not be said for others.

A shadowy man in pitch-black emerged from the shadow of a certain booth, a spider-man wearing a perverted tights jumped out from the corner of the ceiling, and even somewhere beside an inconspicuous wall, the wall seemed to be squirming, and it turned out to be a There stood a man with the chameleon-like ability to mimic.

Only after a few people stood up did they realize that their minds had been briefly controlled, and they stared at the court eagle dog in the middle of the hall with ugly expressions.

"Spirit Speaker Yurio, you are actually responsible for tracking down the secret treasure of the Solomon family? Aren't you almost a paragon, and the FBI is willing to let you go?" the chameleon ability user asked sternly, pointing out his identity and abilities.

"It turns out to be Chameleon Cain. I remember you serve the Rice family, right? What, does your family want to take action against the FBI, or does it want to challenge the Freemasons head-on?"

A big hat was pushed over him, and Kain's already ugly face looked more like he had eaten shit. He defended: "I just heard that there was a bizarre case here. I was curious and came to take a look. It has nothing to do with the Rice family."

Yurio sneered: "I heard that after a murderer commits a crime, he likes to return to the scene to watch. Could it be that you are the murderer who chopped off Peter Solomon's right hand?"

When he spoke, he had already used a trace of the power of his words to induce Kain to admit it.

A look of confusion and struggle flashed across Kain's face, and he looked like he was about to surrender.

He is just a brave-level minion. He was entrusted with important tasks because his abilities are highly concealed and suitable for intelligence work. But facing Yurio, who is at the peak of the hero level and is about to enter the paragon realm, his mental resistance can be said to be like paper, which can be broken with a single blow.

In normal times, even if it was a case involving the extraordinary field, the FBI would at most send a brave-level team leader. Even if it was a more serious situation, it would only let a few people with less seniority in the hero rank lead the team, like You. People like Leo usually practice in seclusion, waiting for breakthroughs, and will not arrange any more tasks.

Unexpectedly, the FBI attached so much importance to the secrets of the Solomon family this time that they actually sent him out. The few secret snoopers who were originally thought to be foolproof were all captured.

Just when Kain was about to open his mouth to confess, the shadow under him suddenly changed slightly, and a dark spike appeared from the shadow, piercing his calf fiercely.

"hiss"

The severe pain made Kain wake up from his daze. He looked at Yurio in surprise. He didn't expect that in front of everyone, he would dare to use his ability to control himself. Isn't he afraid of the Rice family's revenge?

Kain thought about it and realized that he really wasn't afraid.

Damn it, admit it!

A flattering smile appeared on his face, but before he could speak, Yurio whispered again: "Prevent me from interrogating on the spot, Fatos, are you also an accomplice of the criminal?"

The shadow assassin Fatos stepped back and said: "Master Yurio, we are just here to pay attention to the Solomon family's minions. The one who really wants to intervene is the family behind it. The matter has come to this, why don't we each take a step back, we will immediately Come on, how about you let us go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yurio could agree, his body seemed to melt, disappeared into the shadows under his feet, and ran away.

Seeing that he was gone, several others also rushed to leave using various means, leaving only Kain in front of Yurio.

Kain secretly cursed a bunch of dogs for running so damn fast, and was annoyed that his ability was concealable enough, but speed was his weakness, so he didn't dare to run at all.

He shrunk in embarrassment and continued to show a flattering smile: "I am Yurio-sama."

"roll!"

"okay!"

After everyone had left, Yurio looked around, took a mysterious instrument handed over by his subordinates, opened it and placed it at his feet.

With a "buzz" sound, a group of illusory ripples appeared from the antenna above the instrument, instantly rolling across the entire field and forming a small vortex of air around Luke.

Dry!

I thought you were solving a case, but I didn't expect you were coming for me!

Yurio looked at Luke's approximate location: "Sir, please show up."

This time, he did not use Yan Ling's charm method, but simply extended an invitation.

Luke thought about it, and it was right. After all, [Psychological Invisibility] was a skill he acquired a long time ago. Although Luke has strong mental power and can play its role beyond normal, after all, there is no relevant divine blessing, so it is normal to fall behind. .

Now that he was discovered, he no longer kept secret. He directly released [Psychological Invisibility] and appeared in front of a few people.

"It turns out to be Mr. Luke." Yurio said enthusiastically: "Are you also interested in the secrets of the Solomon family?"

He no longer had the cold attitude towards the peepers before. After all, Luke was stronger than him, much stronger.

As one of the senior people in the FBI, his intelligence authority is quite high, and he has a certain understanding of Luke's combat power. Internal intelligence finally gave him a rough estimate of his combat power, which is that he is the best under the legend. One of the strong ones.

As a weak chicken who has not yet advanced to the paragon, he is as weak as Luke in front of Chameleon Kain. Although he was wearing the skin of the FBI, Luke couldn't really do anything to him on the spot, but in the extraordinary world, there were too many ways to secretly kill someone.

What's more, there is a legendary cursed wizard family behind Luke.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

Let alone him, even the Solomon family at its peak did not dare to provoke someone like Luke.

Yo, you have a pretty good attitude.

Luke nodded politely: "I'm a little curious."

"Then let's take a look together? It just so happens that you can also help us find clues." Yurio enthusiastically invited, and then pointed to a person controlled by the FBI: "This is Peter Solomon's student, Robert Langdon , is also an important witness and clue in this case, I plan to ask him about the specific situation first."

Although Luke has solved strange cases many times during this period, he knows that he relies on his extraordinary abilities to overcome his own situations. Now that professionals are doing the driving for him, he is happy to have some free time. Anyway, he just follows along and sees where he can speed up, and then takes the initiative to speed up.

Robert Langdon is a well-known expert in symbology. Although he is not a supernatural person, he has some contact with the supernatural world due to his work. Therefore, when he suddenly faced this situation, he did not panic. At this time, what worried him the most was the teacher who was also a teacher, a friend, and even a father.

The people in front of him were obviously official forces. He took the initiative to explain: "Yesterday someone contacted me in the name of Peter and invited me to meet in Washington. This morning, a person who claimed to be Peter's assistant said that Peter would hold a large speech today. But the keynote speaker fell ill and wanted me to come to the National Sculpture Hall to give a speech in her place.”

"Of course, now I know that the so-called assistants, invitations and speeches are all fake. They are all traps set by the murderer behind them to lure me in. As for the reason-"

He lengthened his tone: "Perhaps it can be found in this severed hand."

Several people turned their attention to the severed hand.

After taking a look from a distance, Yurio said: "There are blood stains on the ground, which flowed from the wrist. As we all know, blood will coagulate after death, so this at least proves that Peter was still alive when his hand was severed."

Luke added mentally: "Or just died."

Langdon suppressed the grief in his heart and carefully observed the severed hand.

The cross-section of the wrist is poked on the prongs of a small wooden base, with three fingers in the shape of a fist, and the straight thumb and index finger pointing toward the dome. Wearing a gold ring on the severed hand, the ring is engraved with gorgeous patterns: a two-headed bird and the number thirty-three.

Yurio noticed that Luke's eyes were focused on the ring, so he introduced: "That should be a Masonic ring. Peter is a member of the 33rd level of Freemasonry - the highest level."

Langdon squatted down and continued to observe. At the same time, he shared the information he observed: "There are tattoos on the thumb and index finger, which are very fresh. There is a crown on the thumb and a star on the index finger."

"If you can see the other fingers, there should be other tattoos on them, namely the sun, lantern, and key. This is the 'mysterious hand', and its meaning is to force action."

"For centuries, the 'mystical hand' has been associated with a connotation of summons. Briefly, it is an invitation to someone to receive secret knowledge - a secret known and guarded only by an elite few. This hand is An invitation - the person behind it invited me to do something."

Zhangyuluke looked confused. This was a crushing blow from the top academic professor.

Professor Langdon circled around the severed hand.

severed hand

invite.

What does this mean?

Luke is no good at deciphering, but luckily this isn't the White House, but the Capitol.

Although they were both burned by the British and painted white after that, as a building open to tourists free of charge, its security and shielding facilities are not so strict.

For example, in most spaces, Luke's mental power can pass through smoothly and detect certain abnormal situations, instead of being restricted at a small distance from the body like in the white house.

He first used his mental power to explore this magnificent sculpture hall. The top of this circular hall was a full 55 meters high. The King of Mountain Monsters did not need to bend down when he entered. The hall displays bronze statues and statues of outstanding figures since the founding of the Lighthouse Nation, and even a pirated marble statue of the Statue of Liberty.

However, this stone statue is different from the most famous one holding a holy fire. She has a feather crown on her head, a sword in her right hand, and a shield in her left hand. She looks into the distance and looks ready to participate in a battle at any time.

No, it doesn’t just look like it, it can actually take part in combat!

Luke was keenly aware of the unusual energy fluctuations in this goddess statue, which was probably an alchemical golem or something like that.

In the sculpture hall, this is not the only place that exudes strange fluctuations. There are unusual abilities on the dome of the hall and under the floor directly under the dome.

Luke looked up curiously. There was a huge oil painting on the dome. The center of the oil painting was Washington, the founding father. He stood in the center of the oil painting, wearing a robe, with thirteen girls standing beside him. The whole painting style looked like a church saint. As a general, Washington naturally plays the role of Jesus.

Seeing Luke raising his head to observe, Professor Langdon didn't even raise his head. He knew what was up there and simply introduced: ""The Sanctification of Washington", a huge mural of 4,664 square feet. , which records the moment of his enthronement...he became a god."

"Become a god?" Luke looked back at the spy chief: "Has this founding father become a god?"

Although Yurio is the head of the intelligence agency, unless he has relevant intelligence support, he is still illiterate and has limited knowledge of historical allusions. He said confusedly: "I can't do it."

Luke looked at Professor Langdon and asked the next question: "Is there something similar to the "Washington Sanctification Picture" under our feet?"

"You are very perceptive, sir." Professor Langdon praised: "Yes, there is a crypt under our feet, and inside is the eternal fire planted by Washington. It is the divine fire of enlightenment that he lit, which means that the light spreads to The four corners of the New World.”

Eternal fire?

Luke's first reaction was to light the divine fire.

Relying on the great power of creating a country, the moment before destiny's favor expired, relying on the status of the "Father of the Nation" and the love and faith of the entire Lighthouse Nation as fuel, he lit the sacred fire, raised the throne high, and became the protector of the Lighthouse Nation.

This plan is very feasible.

Luke still felt that he might have failed. After all, the so-called eternal fire has been extinguished and sealed, and Washington has not been promoted and respected in the name of God.

And facts have proven that the newly reincarnated Jehovah is the only God in this world.

My ancestor Emmanuel also made it clear that the founding father disappeared because of the blessing of destiny, overdrawing his destiny, reaping the consequences, and died of old wounds.

However, although the energy remaining in the mural is rare, the quality is ridiculously high. Even the aura felt by the "Father of the Cavalry" or his own ancestor is stronger than the legend. In this world, it is generally means god.

This mists of history is really not something that people like Luke who don’t like to play with their brains can figure out. It’s better to explore other places besides the hall honestly.

At this time, Professor Langdon suddenly hesitated and said, "There should be some clues in the palm of this severed hand." (End of Chapter)
