Chapter 62: Clues

"Speaking of your gains, you are now officially an Extraordinary, and it is important to note that within the Church, low-level Extraordinaries need to submit their own extraordinary information. ”

Roddy didn't expect such a request, and after a little thought, he realized the meaning.

"Even after being promoted in the same sequence, there will be individual differences?"

"Yes, it seems that the promotion to Voyeur has made you a lot more sensitive. ”

Roddy thought about it for a moment and agreed to provide extraordinary personal information, after all, the rules of the organization still have to be followed.

"I've only mastered one ability, which is snooping, but it's a little different from your previous description, Captain, I tried to spy on Ash's secrets but failed, but..."

Roddy hesitated slightly, then continued:

"But I can spy on other people's minds and even interfere with them, such as Mr. Em's restraint rituals, and something about this underground office. ”

Bob's expression stiffened imperceptibly.

"Tell me about it. ”

Roddy nodded.

"The whole basement is under the captain's control, right, I can feel the traces of dreaming, it looks like some kind of solidified dreaming ritual. ”

Bob lowered his head first, and when he looked up, his eyes sharpened, which made Roddy suddenly feel that he might not be snooping.

"In the future, you are not allowed to snoop on the team members and the office without my permission. ”

Roddy nodded hurriedly, and Bob continued:

"It seems that your ability is more inclined to analyze occult rituals, I will report it truthfully, and I will inform you when the Sect officially arranges the time for the ability to be determined. ”

It wasn't until he left the office that Roddy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the captain's stern attitude made him a little breathless, by which time Em had returned to the couch to do the same thing, and Ash hurriedly put down his coffee and newspaper when he saw Roddy.

"How's it going, Roddy?"

"Hehe, well, it worked. ”

Ash's heartfelt joy made Roddy feel a sense of warmth.

After leaving Jianjiao Beach, Roddy went straight to the daily newspaper's office, at this time it was eight o'clock in the morning, which was also the time when the daily newspaper started work, and Mr. Isad was already waiting for Roddy in the office at this time, but today was a little different.

"Hmm..."

Roddy pondered for a moment and remembered that Issad had gone to the port of Bayside, presumably for the sake of his students.

Barty was as hostile to Roddy as ever, and after carefully feeding his breakfast, he went to his desk to take advantage of this time to review and process the research diary.

Regarding the research diary, Roddy deliberately hid a few things, such as Ada, a friend of Atana's friend and son of the Duke's Palace, and a book that Ida once provided, which recorded a recipe.

At first, Roddy thought it was a potion recipe, but after being promoted to Secret Keeper, he learned that it was actually a recipe for crafting an extraordinary item, but unfortunately, although Roddy was able to reproduce it in its entirety, he couldn't make out what it meant.

After hiding the replica recipe close to his body, Roddy slowly closed his eyes and let go of his thoughts, and suddenly the whole world seemed to become ethereal and vast.

He could hear the sound of cockroaches crawling by, the footsteps of everyone, and even the breath of everyone, this was the change brought about by the Voyeur, and Roddy enjoyed the process very much.

After a while, Roddy began to seriously think about the peculiarity of studying the diary for himself.

Issad, Bob and Ash who had come into contact with it, had nothing out of the ordinary, only passively caught up in the world of the diary, and experienced things that the diary had not recorded.

It's unclear if Atana's father had the same experience, but Roddy probably guesses that this is not the case, or Smith wouldn't have handed over the diary so simply.

"Could it be a hint?"

Roddy muttered to himself, he didn't think the research journal itself would provide such a detailed, unrecorded peculiar experience.

"Isn't Atana dead?"

This is undoubtedly a bold and unrealistic idea, but Isad left saying that some clues that seem to be completely contrary to the truth may be hiding real clues.

Even if it's just a delusion, Roddy thinks maybe it's a good idea.

After recalling his time at Smith's house, Roddy immediately went to the lobby on the first floor of the newspaper office and asked the staff for an update on the serial killings, and then watched it alone.

So far, the number of people killed has been limited to five, and it is now certain that all five people, except for Detective Morabi, were students who participated in the study of Atana, and so far only the son of the Duke's Court and Natasha have not been killed.

"It seems that the list provided by Morabi has served enough, and the police have secretly protected it. ”

Roddy, meanwhile, was looking for other reports, reports on the victims' families.

After a short search, Roddy finally found the news he needed in the lower right corner of the newspaper.

The mother of the second victim, Rick, seems to have been so devastated by Rick's death that her mental state is abnormal, and neighbors can often hear that Rick's mother is still chatting with her children in the middle of the night, so she submits to the daily newspaper.

This was the news that Roddy desperately needed, but more was needed, so Roddy once again asked the staff for all the reports of the last two days until one thing was confirmed.

Every victim's mother has the same mental illness such as conjectures, hallucinations, etc., which may be normal in general, and the pain of losing a child is a nightmare that every mother cannot let go.

But Roddy thinks maybe they weren't just hallucinating, but Smith's wife, who often spends her room alone and communicates with "Attana," according to Smith.

With the same symptoms in each of the victims' mothers, and the unusual experience of the research diary, Roddy suddenly had the illusion that there is only one truth.

Atana may be dead, but he must have been able to temporarily affect the real world in some way, and Atana's mother's performance corresponds to this, otherwise Roddy can't think of anyone who could let him experience something through his diary that wasn't recorded in Atana's diary.

Thinking of this, Roddy hurriedly left the newspaper office, returned home, dressed up in disguise, and went straight to Rick's house.

At this time, the front of Rick's house was a little deserted, and the traffic on this street was much less after the death, which caused some damage to the nearby shops.

Roddy stepped forward and gently pulled the bell string on the side of the door, and Rick's mother, Jennifer, quickly opened the door.

Her hair was sloppy, her eye sockets were sunken, and her mental state seemed to be very poor, but when she saw Roddy, she was unusually agitated, and her high-pitched voice could almost penetrate the entire street.

"Just complain! This is my home! I repeat! If you bother me again, I'll stick your eyes in your grandfather's asshole!"
