Chapter 284 The shocking truth
"Verbick" and "Cole" who came to Twilight City before can both use the Sun Golden Fire, so it is impossible for the reincarnators to pretend to be "face peelers".
It was precisely because the two of them used Sun Gold Fire to clear the suspicion and produced the military transfer letter stamped with the laurel flower seal, plus the information provided by the processor "Qing", that Kino judged that this was indeed an order from Bolton.
After receiving the order, he set off to Leiyun City to assist in the counter-assassination.
On the day of Bolton's assassination, Triple Shackles sent a reminder that the Reincarnator had completed the "side mission" to kill the leader of the Blood Thorn Society.
At the same time, Chino was attacked from behind by Verbik and Cole and fled in a hurry.
At that time, Kino thought that the mastermind behind all this was Bolton. In order to achieve a certain purpose, he deliberately used himself as a bait to set up a trap.
But later, when Kino was on the run, he secretly investigated and discovered that Bolton was really assassinated that day. If Solandel hadn't saved him at the critical moment, he would have died under Barrett.
So the question arises, Bolton is also a victim and has no knowledge of all this, so who is the mastermind behind this series of events?
Reincarnator?
Now is the time for reincarnation hunting. You can be sure that the reincarnators must be involved in it.
But are there really only reincarnations?
Verbek and Cole, the two legion lieutenants, Bolton confirmed that they both died in the Battle of Blood Sands, but were "resurrected" a few days later and came to Twilight City
There is no resurrection in this world, and all the dead will return to dust.
There are only two possibilities for Verbik and Cole to "come back from the dead":
The first possibility is that these two people were not dead at the beginning, but the probability of this possibility is very low. Bolton witnessed the death of two people with his own eyes. As a general of the legion, he should not make the mistake of making mistakes.
Then, there is only the second possibility left. These two people really died in the Blood Sand Battle. "Verbek" and "Cole" who later appeared in Twilight City were the result of others using "Face Peeler"
”Pretended.
Moreover, the people pretending to be them are not reincarnators because it is impossible for reincarnators to master the sun, metal, and fire.
The people pretending to be Verbick and Cole can only be other people who can use the sun, gold and fire
In other words, they are members of the Doguland royal family.
Kino's thoughts were running rapidly and he began to reconstruct the whole incident in his mind:
First, the Star Castle was stolen, and the Barrett M82A1 was stolen by the real culprit.
On the 13th of Red Lotus, the fake "Verbek" and "Cole" came to Twilight City with the rune Barrett, and told Kino that aliens had appeared recently and were planning to assassinate Prince Bolton.
Assist them to conduct on-site surveys in Leiyun City, find possible assassination points, and capture the assassin alive.
Because it had been confirmed through the Sun Gold Fire that these two people were not reincarnators, and there was a military letter stamped with the laurel flower seal, Kino could only obey the order and went to Thunder Cloud City with the two people, found 9 assassination points, and prepared to carry out the operation.
Counter-assassination.
On the 15th of Guren, that is, the day Bolton entered the city, Kino, Verbic, and Cole lurked in the dark, waiting for the opportunity for the assassin to take action.
When Prince Bolton appeared, a prompt for the completion of the "side mission" suddenly came from the triple shackles. Kino fell into a negative state of "ban", and all abilities were blocked.
At the same time, "Verbick" and "Cole" used Rune Barrett to shoot Kino from behind. Kino relied on his processor instinct to avoid the fatal blow and escaped through the window.
Immediately afterwards, the real assassin hid in the church bell room, using the 3 o'clock bell as a cover, pulling the trigger of the Barrett M82A1 and assassinating Burton.
After the two shootings, the traces of the church bell room were artificially erased, and the Barrett M82A1 was placed in the house where Chino was originally located, and fingerprints were grafted on it, creating the illusion that Chino had fired.
If Solandel hadn't accidentally discovered the reflection of the cathedral, hadn't jumped on Bolton in advance, and were even shot to death by Barrett together with Bolton, plus forged evidence, the situation would have evolved into a sniper shot by Kino.
Bolton and Solandel were hunted down by the royal family with the whole country until they died.
Now, the most critical point is this "Verbik" and "Cole". They can use the sun's golden fire, and their real bodies must be members of the Doguland royal family, and they also use the "face peeler", which means
It seems that they are involved with extraterrestrial visitors.
What was even more frightening was that at that time, the two counterfeiters took out a military letter with a "laurel flower seal"!
The "Laurel Seal" has the highest level of anti-counterfeiting technology in the entire kingdom. A large part of the anti-counterfeiting materials used in it are substances exclusive to this world. In other words, neither the reincarnators nor the rejecters can redeem this substance.
Cannot be easily counterfeited.
In other words, from a conceptual point of view, the "forged" military letter is "real".
A certain royal minister who had the authority to use the "laurel seal" used it to help the aliens forge a military letter, transfer Kino out of the Twilight City, and get involved in this conspiracy.
Therefore, the mastermind behind this conspiracy consists of two groups of reincarnations of power and a certain royal minister.
The reincarnators helped the royal ministers to kill Bolton and seek unknown political benefits for them.
The royal ministers helped create perjury, not only to blame the crime on Kino, but also to help the reincarnation in disguise to complete the hunt.
The seriousness of this matter is far beyond Kino's imagination
There is a mole in the royal family who colludes with the reincarnations
And this is no ordinary mole, "he" or "she" is a person who can mobilize the royal family's extraordinary people and has the right to use the "laurel seal".
A person of this level is no longer an ordinary royal minister.
In terms of status ranking, this person probably belongs to the "N-hand" of the Doguland Kingdom.
What's even more fatal is that the reincarnator got on the line with this person and most likely revealed some information, such as "Kino Van Helsing is also a visitor from outer space." This fatal information may have been known to this person
This is really something big.
"Hey." Bolton's voice called Kino out of his thinking state, "What are you thinking now?"
Now an unknown big shot was involved. Kino was not even sure whether Bolton could deal with this kind of person, so he held back and first selected a part of the less sensitive analysis and told it to Bolton.
After listening to Kino's words, Bolton sorted it out in his mind and asked in a deep voice: "There is one thing you haven't explained. What is your relationship with Blood Thorn? Eileen Troy once issued a golden assassination order against you. Later,
He died suddenly, and this year there was another golden assassination order against me, and the recipients of both golden assassination orders were 'Hanyi'."
"Grabo and I guessed at the time that you were Hanyi, an undercover agent of the Bloodthorn Society buried in Doguland. Later, in order to get rid of the organization's control, he led troops to eliminate a stronghold of the Bloodthorn Society in the desert. However, he was arrested because he had evidence.
People are pinched, and they have to go back to their original profession."
Kino shrugged: "If you ask me to explain it out of thin air now, I can't explain it. You just need to know that I have nothing to do with the Blood Thorn Society. The real murderer can frame me on the fingerprints, and he can also blame the Blood Thorn Society on the problem."
Put the blame on me."
