38 Chapter 38
About an hour later went in the house Barry, and behind him came the stone. When they both entered, I heard a muffled sound. This meant that the Faceless one had knocked out Flash... Yeah, the kid's got super speed, but his brain doesn't really work, poor guy. Just as I was about to go to them, Caitlin appeared and went into Allen's house. Immediately after that, I took action...
* Knock* * Knock* * Knock*
I knocked on the door and was immediately answered. It was Caitlin, and when she saw me, she went into a stupor. I boldly opened the door and entered the house.
- Uh? Who are you?- Ask the surprised "Barry".
I smiled at I...
*Bang*
A good punch to the jaw and the guy's unconscious.
- What are you doing?- The girl shouted in surprise.
I checked the condition of the Faceless one and said:
- Close the door, then check the storage room.-
- What? What for? What are you even doing here?-
I slung the Barry over my shoulder and said:
- Open the storeroom and you'll understand.-
The girl frowned, but still listened to me and went to check. When she opened the storeroom and saw Barry there, she said in surprise:
- B-Barry? Then he...-
I nodded:
- Faceless. Keep an eye on Barry, he's not very careful if he let himself get caught, and he could have been killed. This is a real shame for the hero...- I grinned and started to leave.
- Wait, you... What are you going to do with it?-
I looked at the girl and gave her a predatory smile:
- Gobble.-
The girl turned a little pale, and I laughed and slammed the door.
Throwing the body of the guy in the back seat, and injecting him with a good dose of sedative, started the car and quickly left for his home. I finally had it in my hands, and very soon I would be able to get a new ability. We can only hope that everything goes well...
When I arrived at the base, I got a call from Caitlin, who sounded like she was somewhere on the street. Probably in the Park, doesn't seem to want to get caught, so it was okay to talk.
- Are you seriously going to eat it?- The girl asked at once.
I chuckled:
- Maybe Barry didn't ask any questions.-
- I told him the Faceless one had escaped, so I couldn't tell him the truth, could I?- Then the girl changed the subject and asked: - How did you know about Barry and wells? That time at the cafe, I forgot to ask.-
- Is it that important? I know a lot of things, but as long as no one bothers me, I will not use this knowledge. I had a good opportunity to take Barry instead of Hannibal, but I didn't. So you don't have to worry, as long as they don't interfere with my business, everything will be fine.-
- Hmm, okay, but... You're seriously going to eat it, aren't you?-
I sighed:
- Surely you have someone else in mind?-
There was only silence in response, so I said:
- I understand what you're thinking, Caitlin, but he's not a terrible criminal, so it might be too much to kill. But you know... Maniacs and rapists are either already eaten by me, or are sitting in Iron heights. Now I have to eat either people like Faceless or homeless people. It doesn't make any difference to me now, but it used to. After dozens of people were killed and eaten, this rule no longer means anything to me. But I still follow it, I don't know why...- I smiled and said:
- Okay, he killed a couple of cops, that's enough for me. I'll see you later, if you have any problems with Tone, call me.-
That was the end of our conversation, and I began to prepare to receive the power of the Faceless one.
It was the old-fashioned way, and I chained him to the operating table just in case. I introduced several important drugs for the procedure and marked the necessary areas for bone marrow sampling. This is easier, you can focus on the eye, but it has already become a habit.
Then I started collecting the material, this time the quantity will be standard. If my body accepts the first dose of bone marrow without consequences, then I will certainly perform the full procedure and take it all.
When the container was full, I drank all the liquid and settled down on the sofa nearby.
After a while, my body shivered and my skin ached. The sensation was unpleasant, but bearable, not compared to the pain from Peekaboo's bone marrow. I lost consciousness about a minute later.
When I woke up, I checked the time. It's only been two hours, not bad... The feeling was almost the same as always, except that I felt lighter and more rested. Apparently, the development went well, you need to check the ability.
I sat down and concentrated... Hmm, stop, you need to touch someone first... I looked at the Faceless one and dismissed the idea, even though he looked like Barry, but who knows what would happen if I touched him. So I went and touched another person who was lying nearby. He was on an IV, as I had recently eaten a part of his body. He won't last long without medication, and I need him alive.
When I touched it, I immediately sat down on the floor and focused. At first nothing happened, but then I felt a strange burning sensation in my skin and a slight pain, and then...
*Ssssk*
Something happened to me and I opened my eyes. Looking at my hands, I realized that everything worked. I was a dark-skinned man in my clothes, even my height had changed and my muscles were slightly reduced. The guy didn't pay much attention to his form...
I went to the mirror and grinned:
- It worked, even there are no side effects. Except for the clothes, of course...-
As I thought, my mind didn't change, or at least I didn't feel it. Although, it may be temporary... Unfortunately, the clothes were not copied and remained the same... It is worth checking the duration of the ability and some other features. Even though I was an exact copy of my victim, it didn't mean that I was exactly the same. We need to run tests and compare everything accurately. Then check out some more of the Faceless one's ability.
A day passed, and there were many results. First of all, as I thought, it was different from the original. I had serious limitations. I couldn't be in someone else's appearance for more than two hours. As soon as time passes, I immediately involuntarily turn into myself. Unfortunately, in the same clothes... Yeah, looks change, but clothes stay the same. I don't know how Faceless copied things. Perhaps they were temporary and were some kind of part of his body. But that doesn't explain why he was able to shoot the police. If the bullets were part of his body, shouldn't they have disappeared? If he could copy all of his victim's items, why would he Rob? I could have saved up a lot of gold and that's it... Hmm, he probably couldn't, otherwise this ability would be too unbalanced. But even so, it's very useful, even though I can use it for two hours, it's not a problem at all.
