Chapter 195 Night Murder

Entering the study was a butler who served Forcas for many years.

His name is Reiner, and he is nearly sixty years old. He is considered a long life among people who are not in the upper class of gray soil.

Reiner's hair was obviously white, with obvious wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, lips and forehead, but his body was strong and he was in good spirits. His blue eyes were only steady and steady, and he did not have the vicissitudes of exhaustion.

"General, the bath water is ready." Reiner saluted.

Focas' yellow eyes swept across the butler's face and nodded:

"good."

He slowly stood up and led the guards guarding the door, stroking the statue on the handrail to the second floor.

The guards stayed at the bedroom door, and only two maids followed in, helping Forkas take off the general's uniform and enter the bathroom.

The general's habit is to go to bed after taking a bath at night, and no one is allowed to disturb him until he wakes up on his own.

As usual, Forcas ran away comfortably with a glass of red wine. When the maids simply packed the bathroom, they immediately went to the wide bed and covered it with a velvet quilt.

As an elderly man, the mattress on this bed has been replaced with a hard type, helping him relieve pain in his waist.

Whenever I feel the hard support of the mattress, Forcas always misses the early years.

At that time, his bed was very soft and he seemed to be able to get stuck in it.

At that time, his wife was still alive.

As the curtains closed and the bedside lamp closed, the whole room was flooded with rich darkness.

Focas' breathing gradually became longer.

A quarter of an hour passed and the bedroom door quietly opened.

The guards who should have stopped anyone from disturbing the general's sleep disappeared or ignored it.

The person entering the bedroom was medium-sized and wearing a black formal outfit.

He walked in the faint light and came to Focas' bed step by step.

Then, he took out a needle from his clothes pocket.

After pushing out a little liquid, the hiding man leaned down and pointed the needle at a vein in Focas.

Bang!

The desk lamp at the head of the bed suddenly lit up, and the originally warm yellow light was quite dazzling for humans who were used to the dim environment.

The man who tried to inject poison into Forkas couldn't help but close his eyes, straightened his body in panic, and retreated.

After getting used to the light, he opened his eyes again and saw that Forcas had sat up, looking at him with cold yellow eyes, his whole body was full of momentum and extremely majestic.

The person who sneaked into the room subconsciously held his breath, just like every time he encountered a similar gaze over the years.

His hair is gray and his wrinkles are obvious, and he is Faucas's most trusted butler.

"Why?" Focas asked in a deep voice.

He was not panicked at all assault.

Reiner overcame her inner fear, her mouth raised, and she showed a strange smile:

“Because I am the ‘pastor’ Bourne.”

"You?" Forkas sneered, but said nothing more, and asked calmly, "Why did you choose such an opportunity that is not an opportunity to attack me? Have you also lost your IQ?"

Reiner laughed:

"If you ask such a question, it means that I am not wrong in speculation.

"If you want to deal with a senior awakened person at the level of the "spiritual corridor" and a general who can command the entire city defense force, you cannot solve the problem by recklessness. You must observe the details patiently, collect information carefully, find out your weaknesses, and then wait for the opportunity for the city defense force to strictly guard all over the place but relax here like tonight.

"Fortunately, you can deceive everyone for a while, or you can deceive some people forever, but it is impossible to deceive everyone forever. This sentence is not what I said, but a famous saying from the old world, and it just happens to be used on you.

"It took me so long to sneak into your mansion, not to find opportunities to influence you, but to look through the memories of the people around you little by little and look for clues from it." (Note 1: Lincoln's famous quote)

Focas laughed without being angry:

"What did you find?"

Reiner shrugged:

"I found that you have a habit that has not changed for many years. Whether you are commanding the army outside or facing the turmoil in the initial city, you must go to bed before 10 o'clock in the evening, and it will never exceed this time.

"And, no one can disturb you when you sleep. Once, an emergency military report was reported to you by phone, but you didn't answer.

“That was eleven o’clock in the evening, and you didn’t call back until two o’clock in the morning.

“In addition, I have tracked many awakened people in the ‘dawn’ field, looked for opportunities to read their memories, and summarized some common costs, including ‘a deep coma for a certain period of time’.

"Based on this information, I judge that you will be in a deep coma between 10:30 pm and 1:30 pm."

As a soldier who has been through life and death many times, Focas's ability characteristics have never been a big secret, and it is easy for those who are interested to investigate it.

As far as the "pastor" Bo Yong knows, the two most clear ones are:

"Creating a coma" and "awakening the physical potential".

As for the third one, it is a relatively hidden type, not many people know it.

As a senior awakened person at the "Spiritual Corridor", the "pastor" Buyon knew very well that after entering the "Spiritual Corridor", the corresponding boundaries of Faucas's two abilities must be expanded and must not be viewed with an old eye.

——After being promoted to the "spiritual corridor", Focas took action significantly, and most of the time it showed two types of "creating a coma" and "awakening the physical potential".

Focas didn't say anything, and still looked at the butler in front of him coldly.

Reiner smiled:

"Your inquiry just now made me sure that your price is 'deep coma at a certain time period', but I made a certain misjudgment at the specific time point.

“The reason why I’m talking to you so much is waiting for the time when you’re really unconscious.

"I'm very surprised that you are not panicked at all and are willing to talk to me. I want to show your composure and scare me to interrupt the subsequent attack?

"Don't worry, every quarter of an hour, a group of people will come here in your mansion to try to kill you. In addition to your two children, I think there will always be someone who will run into your coma.

"Don't struggle. Even if you let everyone in this house faint now, killers will come in the surrounding areas one after another. Your only way is to call the consul or the Senate immediately to provide help. At that time, there may be my puppets in the people who come to protect you."

After listening quietly, Forkas sighed:

"You are really patient, unlike most people in the Anti-intellectual Church.

"I did play some tricks at the time point. Those few emergency military situations did not answer the phone. In fact, it was intentional. Just like I had to go to bed before 10 o'clock every night, it constituted a misleading for you, a secret observer.

"As a general, I must know how to keep a margin. In the early years of the old world, there was already the concept of a reserve team. How could I not make corresponding arrangements now?"

Speaking of this, Forkas laughed:

“It’s not my coma from 10:00 to 2:00 am.

"Also, you may not have heard a word. This is what the emperor once said: The secret of what the awakened one should pay for protecting oneself like one's own eyes."

The smile on Focas's face became more and more obvious:

"Actually, my price is not 'deep coma for a certain period of time' at all. Since I had a certain degree of strength, I have been working hard to build an illusion, which is 'deep coma for a certain period of time' to cover up the price I really paid.

"There is a saying that the Grey Man says well, "The strategy of inciting changes and fraud cannot be eliminated when using troops to fight. This also applies in the battle between the awakened ones.

"Or else, do you think I would talk to you so peacefully?"

The expression on Reiner's face gradually solidified.

Focas slowly turned over and got out of bed, saying casually:

"Have you noticed that your insomnia is getting worse during this period?"

Reiner did not answer, but his brows were already frowning.

"After Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing's team left here but was followed by a fake 'priest', I was guessing whether the 'pastor' Buyon was lurking nearby and planning a conspiracy against me." Faucas touched the head with a small margin and said with a smile, "Since then, I have been targeting everyone in this neighborhood indiscriminately, except for my two children."

Reiner said in silence for a while:

"Your third ability is to cause insomnia to varying degrees?"

"Yes." Forcas smiled, "in addition to making you more and more insomnia, I also awaken your physical potential so that you can maintain a good state while insomnia without affecting your daily life. Therefore, you can continue to look through the memories of the crowd bit by bit on a large scale.

"I have been following this matter step by step, and I shouldn't let you notice anything. After all, when you look through your memories, the focus must be on the various details related to me, rather than the life state of the person being looked at."

Reiner was silent again and asked after a while:

"What's the point?"

"Of course it makes sense." Forkas paced slowly and glanced at him. "The intelligence system of the 'first city' is still very strong. Some of the costs in your 'last man' field have long been mastered, and I found that many of them are physical and physiological costs, such as sleep disorders, hypertension, physical fitness decline, etc.

"I don't know if your price is in this part. Just a try. Anyway, if you fail, there will be no loss. If it succeeds, hey..."

Forkas laughed:

"After a long-term overdrawing of the body to fight insomnia, if no one awakens your physical potential, what will happen?

"A serious illness may occur, and a serious illness may lead to sudden death."

Reiner's face darkened.

He looked around and said:

"There must be many people in poor health in the surrounding area. Are you afraid of affecting them?"

"There is a saying among the earthlings that soft-hearted people are not suitable to be generals." Forcas raised his chin and let the majestic posture be revealed. "I will not check the surrounding areas and look for suspicious people in order not to scare you away and have the opportunity to teach you a lesson."

Speaking of this, Forcas glanced at Reiner and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"What do I do when I say so much to you? You are just a puppet..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reiner fell down and fell on the carpet.

The guards outside the door and the others in the mansion were also in a coma.

Forcas changed into a casual outfit and came to his two adult children. He carried one in one hand and hurried to the garage and got on a bulletproof off-road vehicle.

Immediately afterwards, he drove the vehicle to the north of the green olive area.
