Chapter VIII Continuum
Jason, who is not an idiot, guessed something the moment he saw the '+' sign.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the Gunpowder Weapon. Light Weapons (Basic)] and [Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic)] two skills.
The description of the skill and the speculation that it matched Jason's appeared -
【Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons (Basic): You know how to use light gunpowder weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, rifles, etc., but you're not a sharpshooter, so don't expect your gun to do anything unthinkable. 】
[Has 1 Satiety, Yes/No Boosts Gunpowder Weapon.] Light weapons? 】
……
[Hand-to-hand combat (basic): The body itself is a powerful weapon, and you have basic training, you have a certain skill, although it is just an ordinary skill, but it separates you from ordinary people. 】
[With 1 satiety, yes/no to improve hand-to-hand combat?] 】
……
"Can I directly increase the level of the skills I have mastered?"
With such speculation, Jason did not hesitate to choose to upgrade the [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Weapons (Basic).
If the [Satiety] is sufficient, Jason doesn't mind improving both skills at the same time, but on the premise of only being able to improve one, Jason prefers the [Gunpowder Weapon. Light weapons].
Without him, at this stage, the power of firearms is even more powerful.
When Jason made his choice, a flood of knowledge came to his mind.
This knowledge includes more aiming and shooting skills, which seem to have been acquired by Jason after a lot of training, which makes Jason feel that he doesn't need to aim, he only needs to feel, and he can hit a target of about 10 meters with a single shot, but more importantly, Jason finds himself more and more 'deaf and clear'.
It's not a delusion.
It's real!
【Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons (Starter): Not only do you know how to use light gunpowder weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, and rifles, but you also gradually learn about their characteristics, Effect: +0.1 per PERCEPTUAL
……
"After the skill is upgraded to the entry level, not only will the skill be mastered more deeply, but can it also improve the attributes?"
Jason confirmed this, and then his eyes narrowed.
He seems to have found the key to breaking the game.
Not only in front of you, but also outside of the 'notes'.
At this moment, his injuries have healed and his 'shooting' skills have advanced to a higher level, and his chances of victory have increased by at least 20% in the face of those three attackers with weapons in hand!
Moreover, this is not the final situation!
He was also able to continue to improve himself.
As long as......
Plenty of 'food'!
Jason glanced at the iron pot, his heart full of anticipation.
Then, instead of acting rashly, he picked up the iron pot and drank the soup in it little by little, while waiting patiently for Bundy.
The soup didn't give Jason enough to eat, but it was delicious enough.
"It would be nice to have a steamed bun or a slice of bread to wipe the pot again."
Looking at the oil splash on the inner wall of the iron pot, Jason put it aside with a slight pity, and he could already hear the sheriff's footsteps.
The next second.
Knock, knock.
"It's me, Bundy."
At the knock on the door, the sheriff said.
"Please come in."
As soon as Jason's words fell, the other party holding three brown paper bags couldn't wait to push open the door.
"They're more straightforward than I describe."
With these words, the other party handed three brown paper bags to Jason.
The kraft paper bag is not heavy to hold, and the date is written on the cover.
August 5, August 8, August 11.
Jason picked up the one with the earliest date.
When he opened the brown paper bag and took out the paper inside, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the top one.
This is a painting that can be called a masterful painting.
It's just the content, and it's really uncomfortable.
The two calves are in the center of the drawing, not above the knee, and the original trouser legs hang down on the feet, hiding the shoes.
Even in black and white, Jason still has the illusion of seeing a blurred picture of flesh and blood.
The drawings that follow this sketch depict all this from multiple angles, including individual trouser legs, shoes, and depictions around the street, making Jason's blurred picture clearer and clearer.
After a dozen sheets, Jason began to open the second brown paper bag.
Compared to the painting in the first brown paper bag, this one is even more uncomfortable.
Because......
Inside is a puddle of minced meat.
That's right, it's minced meat, like dumpling filling.
Nothing else.
However, the painter still dutifully depicted the pile of dumpling fillings from all angles.
The third brown paper bag is painted in a paper bag that still maintains a strong two uncomfortable styles.
A skull.
The skull, very complete, was not broken, but only half of the face remained, and the remaining half of the face was completely melted, revealing the white bones of the forest.
The remnants of the face were filled with despair and fear.
Jason looked at him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
Then, after restraining himself from showing any signs of unusualness, he looked up at Bundy.
"What else?"
Jason asked.
There are only drawings in these brown paper bags, no written descriptions, and no records.
Obviously, there are certain rules that should be followed.
Of course, it is also possible that they are managed separately, and he, an 'outsider', cannot see them.
If it's really a 'night watchman', he should know a lot about this, but he's an 'impostor', so he can only rely on vague words to get by.
Luckily, Bundy didn't have any doubts.
As soon as Jason asked, the sheriff spoke.
"The first to happen was Punk, who was supposed to return here before dawn for a shift, but didn't come back until after sunrise and was eventually spotted by our guys in an alley."
"Then there's Kurtz, who, like Punk, didn't meet the deadline and then ...... We confirmed his identity through the badge in the minced meat. ”
"Finally, it was Joffer, and the successive attacks on the officers raised our vigilance, but the result was no different, Jover's death and his partner Tal was missing."
"We've tried our best to find Tár, but it's been three days and there's no clue."
As Bundy spoke, his face was filled with sadness and his eyes were lowered.
Jason frowned and looked at those brown paper bags and sketches, and a question couldn't help but arise in his mind: Is there one or more monsters that caused such a tragic situation?
If it was multiple monsters, then the situation here was even worse than he had initially guessed, and he would have to face multiple monsters lurking in the shadows, and the danger would skyrocket.
And what if it's a monster?
It's not going to get better, on the contrary, it's worse.
Look at the sketches depicting the scene, if it is really a monster, then the other party is far more cruel than he imagined, because this has long gone beyond the scope of 'hunting and predation'.
The other party took it as a 'game'.
Moreover, the other party is cunning enough!
A monster that is both cruel and cunning, is not so easy to deal with.
Of course, what concerns Jason the most is these or this monster, why do you want to shoot specifically at the police officers?
Is there any correlation between that?
To confirm, Jason asked.
"Is there anyone else among the victims?"
"Someone other than a police officer."
"Nope!"
Bundy replied in the affirmative.
"Hmm."
Jason nodded in a deep voice, and then, just as Jason was about to continue asking something, there was a sound of rapid running in the hallway, and without knocking, the door of his room was pushed open, and a young police officer hurried in.
"Sir, Tal has been found."
"He ......"
