My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

Chapter 21 The Fear of the Invisible Man

"The Court of Owls? What is this?"

His brows were furrowed, making the already old-fashioned him even more vicissitudes.

He took out his mobile phone and connected to the Criminal Analysis Department of Water Corporation.

"The cloud database shows that there is only one important piece of information related to owls: the suicide of Fahim Hals, the founder of the taxi-hailing app, who claimed to be hunted down by owls before committing suicide."

People from the criminal analysis department provided such information to the invisible man.

Immediately after he disconnected the phone, he had rich associations.

The ice and snow duo came to this street, first clashed with the gangsters on the street, and then solved them without any surprise.

Then, they successfully subdued the Li'an siblings.

Then a mysterious person appeared, after a fierce fight, they killed or kidnapped two people, and left behind this nursery rhyme about owls.

However, why did the other party leave such a clue?

A warning or a show off after the murder?

The invisible man was puzzled.

"The only clue that can be traced now is Fahim."

Gathering up his mood, he decided to continue following this clue.

Fahim had already been buried, and of course the Invisible Man had no interest in the corpse.

But there should still be some clues about Fahim's residence.

Taking off his clothes, the transparent man sneaked into Fahim's residence in Long Island, New York.

Although he can investigate openly, he still likes the feeling of walking in the bustling city without clothes.

After all, this is too bloody!

There's the thrill of peeing in someone else's room without being noticed.

In Fahim's mansion, there are only his sister and a black maid.

After standing naked behind Fahim's sister and watching TV for a while, he walked towards Fahim's room.

"Maybe there's Playgirl, or Penthouse or something that makes me want to go for it."

The invisible man thought wildly.

Unfortunately, his obscene idea did not materialize.

There are only some books and paintings in Fahim's room.

Smacking his lips, the transparent man took off a Norman Knockwell painting, and then pissed on it.

"Smiling, law-abiding good citizen? Falk squid!"

Norman Knoxwell's paintings straddle the field of business and patriotic propaganda. He likes to paint characters, especially the people at the bottom who show positive energy.

I don't want to offend the arrogant transparent person.

After venting, the transparent man started to get down to business.

After searching drawers and cabinets and bookcases, he found a small note in the middle of a thick book.

"They are also cold behind the pale mask. Warwick believes that New York is on the brink of chaos. The court of owls needs to clear up chaos and evil. Claws have haunted the night, ready to harvest rebellious and unclean blood. I am afraid and upset, because I disagree with Warwick's claims. The court dignitaries are very displeased with me...”

The last few words were crooked, as if they were panicked when they were written.

The transparent person compared the handwriting and found that it was indeed written by Fahim himself.

"Warwick seems to be their leader. This one called Talon, seems to be a member of the so-called Court of Owls. And Fahim, it looks like he was killed by Talon... so to speak He didn't commit suicide."

Through careful thinking, transparent people draw what they think are reasonable inferences.

Turning to the last page, there is a paragraph on it, "Sister, the New York Public Library has documents and account records that I keep, and there is all information about the Owl Court. The account contains all the suspicious fund investigations I recorded chain, I have analyzed a partial list of members of the court. If something happens to me,

Please be sure to take out this document. "

The transparent man whistled, "Wow! The big fish came out!"

There is still a key in the ancient book, which is simple and has a sense of time.

The top of the key has a decoration in the shape of an owl's head.

"This is the Athenian owl, which first appeared on the coins of ancient Greece. It represents power and wealth. Damn, what a bunch of weirdos."

Transparent people once traveled to Athens, so they know about this owl head decoration.

The clue had pointed to the New York Public Library, so he had to rush to the library again.

By the time the transparent man arrived at the New York Public Library, it was already night.

The huddled homeless on the street corner, the group of drunken and rowdy college students, the couples snuggling up to each other, and the office workers returning home from overtime work together decorate the night in New York.

Among the bustling crowd, the transparent man walked home worriedly with a pack of documents.

When he glanced at this information, he was shocked.

The newer documents are Fahim's handwritten documents documenting what he knew about the Court of Owls.

The old parchment documents have a sense of age, as if they were dug out of a tomb, exuding a decayed smell.

This should be a document from the 1790s, which records how after the 1785 "Confederation Regulations", the new immigrant elite in New York City held a secret meeting in the Federal Hall on Wall Street to prepare for the establishment of a secret group.

This was the predecessor of the Court of Owls.

The transparent man Yali Shanda felt that he was approaching an indescribable terrifying existence.

It’s okay to say that it’s just ancient documents, and Fahim’s materials in the public library also include a list.

This list is the list of court personnel investigated by Fahim based on the secret accounts of the court.

Since the court of owls convened a meeting in which the participants wore white faceless masks, it was impossible to identify those who really were, so Fahim investigated the source of funds from the court's secret account and locked down several suspects.

The transparent person saw two familiar people on this list.

Madeleine, the vice president of Water Company, and Alastair Adana, the chairman of Jizhong Church.

In other words, these two people may be from the Court of Owls.

He felt that he might be in danger. The common plot of shit movies, the tricks of discovering secrets usually lead to a miserable death. And now, he has become a tragic actor who masters the secret.

The Invisible Man has completely believed in the existence of the Court of Owls.

People are always used to believing the truth they discover, even if the truth is a trap set by hunters.

In this way, he got into the trap set by Wei Chen.

He had come to believe now that there existed in New York a court of powerful men, hidden in the shadows, watching the city. They use "claws" to eliminate dissidents and attack political opponents to achieve their ulterior motives.

And although he is a superhero, he is obviously unable to fight against such a secret group.

Especially when his immediate boss is the other party's person.

"Beware of the Court of Owls, who are always watching your travels.

Peeping at New York City from the shadows, hiding in a low-walled attic..."

As he recited this nursery rhyme silently, he gradually felt a pair of owl eyes light up in the dark, watching his every move.
