Chapter 38 - 38

Don't be fooled by the fact that the world is peaceful now and most areas are peaceful.

But after four years, the curtain opened.

That would be fun.

However, Locke is not from S.H.I.E.L.D., nor is he from SHIELD, and he has no interest in getting involved. Rather than worrying about Hydra's collapse halfway through its establishment, Locke is more interested in another piece of intelligence in his hand.

In the Middle Ages, the most famous order was the Knights Templar.

but...

There is also the Assassins' League, also known as the Brotherhood.

After years of struggle, there is no doubt that the one who had the last laugh was the Knights Templar, who relied on the kingdom at the time. The Brotherhood was completely defeated and disappeared in history.

Or rather, they were broken up.

but...

A few years ago, with the emergence of a man named Callum Lynch, the Roman Brotherhood rose from the ruins again. Three years ago, the London assassination that shocked the world was said to have been done by this Callum Lynch.

It is said that it is for an item codenamed "Golden Apple"!

Moreover, according to the Red Devils' information, it seems that this mysterious organization had come into contact with Callum Lynch three years ago, and there seemed to be a conflict, but the outcome is still unknown.

Locke touched his chin, opened the chat software, and sent a message to the Red Devil: "Do you have any information about the Golden Apple?"

He raised his eyebrows.

Next second.

Locke waved his right hand, and suddenly, a golden, round object appeared in Locke's hand.

All right.

He lied.

He did steal something from inside the textile factory.

That's it.

This golden ball was obtained by Locke when he opened Sloan's safe. He noticed that there seemed to be another layer at the back of the safe, so he simply removed it violently and it rolled directly into his hands.

Don't show off your wealth.

He can't just answer whatever others ask.

Please.

He is not a three-year-old child. Nowadays, every adult lives in hypocrisy and lies. How many people can truly confide in each other? Whoever takes it seriously will lose.

Locke knew this superficial truth in his previous life.

In this life, I naturally learned everything by myself.

This is also one of the main reasons why Locke goes to school.

At the very least, the friends you make in school still have a chance of becoming lifelong friends.

"So this thing is the golden apple?"

Locke raised his eyebrows and played with the golden ball in his hand: "That's unscientific. Where's the leaf?"

With a buzzing sound.

The golden sphere in Locke's hand seemed to emit light, and then, with a whoosh, a golden light came out from the golden sphere. Immediately afterwards, another "Locke" wearing a suit and tie appeared in the study.

"Give."

Locke was not at all panicked and pushed the wine on the table in front of Locke.

Locke grabbed it, took a sip, and looked at Locke: "Thank you."

Locke raised the corner of his mouth and started playing a double act, controlling the clone created by the golden apple to talk and drink with him.

I have to say.

It's different when someone talks and drinks. After a while, the remaining half bottle of bourbon was finished by the two Lockes.

But in fact, Locke drank it alone.

This clone is a dead clone. It looks like the real one, but in fact, he will not move unless Locke controls him.

even...

Locke could feel that this clone was constantly drawing endless energy from his sea of consciousness.

If it weren't for his endless energy, Locke could feel that in just ten seconds,

His sea of consciousness would be directly drained.

It seems that only his energy can be used to activate this golden sphere.

At the very least, before Locke drew the supreme talent, he also played with this golden ball. At that time, the golden ball did not react at all.

After playing, Locke put his clone away.

Although he could feel that his energy was endless and could support the existence of this clone, he also felt that if used for a long time, his energy would not be truly endless.

Well...

It's like the feeling of having that thing when you reach the pinnacle of bliss.

And it continues.

After destroying the textile factory, Locke originally planned to find an appraiser to estimate the price of the golden apple and put it up for auction on the underground black market.

After all, Locke didn't know how to use this thing.

But after drawing the first-level supreme talent, Extraordinary, Locke was thinking about how to use this talent.

For example, transforming into a magician or something.

but.

Locke could feel that he had endless energy, but no matter how he tried, the energy was completely indifferent.

Locke only has one feeling.

He had an inexhaustible gold mine, but except for the golden apples, he could not take out the gold with anything else.

Until Locke took out the golden apple and played with it.

Something strange happened.

At first, when the clone appeared, it almost scared Locke, but now, Locke is used to it.

This might become one of his trump cards.

One more trump card.

good.

Just then.

The Red Devil also sent a summary of the news about the golden apple.

only...

The more you look.

Locke always felt that there was something magical, and then, he always felt that there seemed to be a sense of déjà vu.

"The Golden Apple, also known as the Fruit of Eden or the Forbidden Fruit, is said to be a very powerful weapon."

"But it requires the user to sacrifice his own life."

"There are six golden apples!"

"It's said that apples one through three possess the special ability to create illusions and control people's minds. Golden apple number one originally belonged to Adam and Eve, then to Abel and then to Cain..."

"Golden Apple Number Two is for the Bloody Queen, Elizabeth I..."

"…"

"Among them, the Golden Apples No. 4 and No. 5 possess technology that can be advanced beyond their time, even at the cost of human life. It's said that the infamous German Führer possessed one, but it was destroyed by the Cosmic Cube during an experiment, indirectly leading to a reversal of the war's balance..."

"…Good fellow."

Locke opened the software, edited a text message and sent it to the Red Devil: "Do you still know about the Cosmic Cube?"

"Ding Dong!"

The Red Devil quickly sent a message: "Everyone knows that the Dark World has been searching for the Cosmic Cube for a long time. I heard it's in the hands of the Five Big Gangsters, but I'm still trying to find out where it is. How about it? Are you interested in taking the order?"

Locke twitched his lips and edited the message: "You really can't afford the price of the Cosmic Cube. However, if I'm interested in it in the future and I get it, I can show it to you and help you suppress your destiny as the number one intelligence dealer in the dark world."

Red Devil: "…"
