Chapter 10

Name: Fangya

Gender: Male

Age: Between 18 and 40 years old.

Race: African

Abilities: Beast Transformation, successfully transforming into a powerful beast.

Abilities: Berserker's Blood (?), which seems to convert injuries into formidable combat power, the more injured, the greater the increase in speed and strength. His speed is 2.35 times (estimated) faster than a normal human, and his strength is 3.1 times (estimated) greater.

Abilities: Flashbang Mastery. He uses flashbangs with incredible skill, making them completely unpredictable and difficult to defend against. This suggests he is also proficient with grenades and similar devices.

Abilities: Bone Claws. After transforming, he possesses sharp bone claws that can easily tear through car doors and human bodies.

Abilities: Sacrificial Finger Technique (?). He rips off one of his fingers and uses a mysterious spell to turn the severed finger into a flying blade to kill enemies, which is almost impossible to counter. However, this move is used as his ultimate technique and comes at a great cost. The fact that his left hand only had four fingers at the time indicates that the cost is the permanent loss of the severed finger.

All the information that appeared at this moment was what Fang Linyan had personally witnessed, so he listed them one by one on paper. Then, he closed his eyes and began to think deeply. Gradually, his frown relaxed, and he suddenly opened his eyes, slamming his fist on the table with a cold smile on his lips:

"I know! But there are still some things that need to be verified."

Immediately, Fang Linyan turned on an old, second-hand laptop, the kind that makes a creaking sound when the fan starts, and took three minutes to boot up. He took out his phone and uploaded several videos and some pictures to the computer, then used the built-in software to zoom in and examine them.

Soon, Fang Linyan found what he was looking for in the videos and pictures. He selected a photo and began to examine it carefully. Although his phone's camera resolution was not high, the photo clearly showed the battle scene from that day, with bodies strewn about, a burning warehouse, and an overturned black Lincoln Navigator, all testifying to the intensity of the battle.

Among the photos, one was a close-up of a corpse, which had a particularly gruesome death, apparently torn open by Fangya's claws after he transformed. The suit and bulletproof vest on the corpse's chest were ripped apart, leaving a wound over ten centimeters long, exposing the internal organs.

However, Fang Linyan's focus was not on this. He zoomed in on the photo, and his final focus was on a tattoo above the corpse's heart! This tattoo was quite unique, resembling a blurry triangle.

He nodded in satisfaction and marked it with a red circle.

Next, Fang Linyan began to take screenshots from the videos and found a similar pattern on a leather bag, which he also marked.

After examining these two marks for a while, Fang Linyan pondered for a moment, then went back to the previous videos, pausing the frame on a Lincoln Navigator. The car's door had been torn open by Fangya's claws, and the glass was shattered, revealing scattered documents on the seats. He continued to zoom in on the documents and found another point of interest in the blurry image, which he marked.

These three marks were very similar, all featuring a black-red triangular shape and seemed to be some kind of emblem. Fang Linyan began to type rapidly on the keyboard, searching the internet. Soon, he found the answer and closed his eyes, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. After a few minutes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered:

"Very good, the most important piece of the puzzle is right here!"

Excitedly, Fang Linyan stood up and paced around the room, taking a while before sitting back down at the table. He picked up a pen and paper and began to write and draw.

This time, he wrote six words:

—

Character Habit Deduction!

a: Fangya's use of flashbangs is excellent, suggesting a high probability that his profession is a current military member, mercenary, or professional athlete (baseball/basketball).

b: Before I arrived, Fangya had already transformed once and carried out a massacre. When he transforms, his body size increases by more than 50%, so the clothes and shoes he was wearing would be torn. I found a torn leather shoe and a shirt at the scene.

The leather shoe is a luxury brand, Berluti, founded in Paris in 1895 and operated by four generations of the family. It costs over 110,000 euros and must be custom-made in Paris.

The shirt is made of high-count poplin and is a brand called Charvet, founded in Paris in 1838.

This suggests that Fangya has a close connection to France and a preference for comfortable, low-key luxury handmade brands, which is a hard-to-hide lifestyle habit. Therefore, such a person with a luxurious lifestyle would have limited options for clothing, food, and accommodation when in a foreign country.

c: Two minutes and fourteen seconds after transforming, Fangya used his ultimate self-mutilation skill, pulling off his finger to kill a person named Thornton.

From the condition of Fangya's left hand, it is likely that the severed finger cannot regrow, indicating a significant cost.

However, at that time, Fangya had already figured out Thornton's capabilities. If he had continued to fight, his chances of winning were high. So why did he end the battle so urgently? It is highly likely that his transformation time was about to end, meaning his transformation duration is around three minutes.

After writing this, Fang Linyan frowned and covered his mouth to cough, but he quickly took medication to alleviate the symptoms.

Then, Fang Linyan sat back at the computer and logged into several foreign news websites. He quickly browsed through the information, and his eyes stopped on a news item:

"On the 17th, the president of a famous high-tech company, Randall, traveled to Tai Cheng, the financial center of the Asia-Pacific region, seemingly related to the launch of the Aiong product in Asia. Randall will attend the launch event and showcase the latest Aiong flagship product, which is a groundbreaking handheld audio-visual device that uses cutting-edge augmented reality technology."

"Randall was diagnosed with malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors three years ago but has been undergoing active treatment."

After reading this news, Fang Linyan murmured:

"Very good, very good! This is the last piece of the puzzle."

He confirmed it several times, finally took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the window, looking at the dark sky and the twinkling stars. After a long while, he whispered:

"I'm sorry, Fangya, but you're going to die."
