Chapter 53: Side Effects and Hidden Identities
After passing through the street against the flow of people, and when he reached the vicinity of the city gate, Leo slowed down, took a deep breath, the muscles of his whole body relaxed, his hands naturally slipped into his trouser pockets, his eyes drooped, his gaze was scattered, and his presence gradually lowered...... Pedestrians who had noticed the boy a little bit also redirected their gaze, as if they had never noticed him.
[Life Return] · [Absolute].
Human beings have a sense of breath and presence, so where does this so-called breath come from? What is the principle of presence?
Leo sometimes gets annoyed by his excellent appearance, and then begins to think about how to reduce his sense of existence and become like Kuroko Tetsuya in "Black Basket", easy to be forgotten and even treated as a stone, so that he can do his duty as a thief.
…… The problem was solved after Leo learned [Life Return].
Because when practicing [Life Return], Leo went through a long period of meditation, and then reached the point where he could easily calm down in action, and then slowed down the pulsation of his body, sealing the pores of his whole body, and finally turned into a stone-like existence.
This is Absolute.
It can also be regarded as an ability learned in "Full-Time Hunter".
In his absolute] state, Leo will not be noticed by the naked eye of ordinary humans, because in the eyes of others, he is just an ordinary stone, or any kind of regular thing in the scene, and will not attract attention.
[Absolute] can even reduce the perception of seeing and hearing the domineering perception of him, but it can't completely isolate it.
However, in the state of [Absolute], Leo had to maintain a level of strength and speed, so he could not exercise vigorously, let alone fight hard.
There is also a downside.
That is, if it is inadvertently recorded by a video phone bug, the person watching the video can easily detect Leo's whereabouts.
Therefore, it is not possible to exert indirect influence on people.
Leo walked out of the city gate with his head bowed, and the guards in steel armor ignored him, allowing him to enter and exit freely.
The young man breathed slowly, walked into the street of the homeless people with light steps, everyone seemed to not see him, and some people almost hit Li Ou recklessly, but they were easily dodged by Li Ou.
Walking around the street, Leo calculated the approximate number of poor people.
Between 1,007 and 1,080.
Therefore, two hundred more and two hundred less are basically unnoticeable.
Walking into the street again, Leo searched more carefully.
There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
But when Leo was keenly aware of the tattoos on the arms of some of them, with silver petals, he finally laughed.
"Found ......"
Although there is only one person, it is enough.
Following the exposed man, Leo didn't do it immediately because he was followed by his partner. It wasn't until two hours had passed, when the man was finally left alone, that Leo stuck behind the target like a ghost, and the power that burst out in an instant caught people off guard, and the knife landed on the back of the target's neck to stun him, and he quickly picked up the fainting guy and left here hiding from the eyes and ears of the homeless street.
……
Five minutes later, Leo threw it in the corner where he had climbed over the wall, and without avoiding anything, he began to take a big gulp of fresh air.
"Whew~ This ability is really tiring to use."
Wiping a handful of sweat droplets from his forehead, Leo set his eyes on the unconscious man.
"Silver Manju Sawa should be right......"
No matter how well the Corsican family hides, it will always show its feet, there can be no seamless plan in this world, and the more people there are, the easier it is to reveal flaws.
"Now, let me see what's in your head."
Opened the powerful right palm, the muscles and bones expanded to the extreme, and then bent the thumb and middle finger ninety degrees, like iron tongs to pinch the sides of the man's temples, so it was different...... The golden lightning lit up, and the ability of [Stealing Fruit] was activated, and the memory pictures were transmitted into Leo's brain through signals one by one.
Leo tried his best to suppress his extremely uncomfortable emotions and watch the memories.
There were a lot of memories, and they were all things that Leo didn't need, so he didn't hesitate to delete all of them, and as the silver electric light popped out of his eyebrows, those useless memories were thrown away by him.
This scene looks very magical.
The boy himself is like a memory filter station, and countless images are transmitted in and out of his head, and the process is quite troublesome and energy-consuming.
But this is a necessary means......
Because human memory is something with many subjective emotions, if these subjective emotions enter another person's brain, they may infect and pollute that person's personality like a virus, resulting in confusion in memory and behavior, and gradually unable to recognize who they are and become crazy.
Half a year ago, Leo almost experienced this kind of thing.
Because he used [Stealing Fruit] to steal a lot of memories, and he didn't have time to delete them, he was polluted by the subjective emotions in his memories and almost went crazy. In addition, if the ability is used on oneself, it is very likely to intercept excess memories and have more serious consequences, so that you will fall into despair for a while.
…… Later, he comprehended the ability of [current operation] in time, and finally found a detailed way to lose his memory.
As he continued to delete useless things, Leo's mood gradually returned to normal.
Wrong...... Actually, it's still a bit abnormal.
For example, the personality that seems to be getting more and more cheerful and childish may be a side effect left after that period of time.
A man with a mental age of twenty-seven or eighteen, or even thirty, is like a child who will never grow up?
It's easy to say, but it's basically impossible.
And the appearance represents an anomaly.
It represents the deepest psychological level of "madness" of Leo.
Frowning, Leo finally found the picture he was looking for.
It is the task assigned to them by the leader, which contains the distribution of most of the plan.
For example-
More than 2,000 people came to the Corsican family.
A small number of high-fighting and bosses infiltrated the city in disguise as a caravan, waiting for the opportunity to kidnap Victoria Sindori.
There are probably more than 300 people hidden in the street of the wanderers, and these people will help the high-level delay time after the successful robbery plan, that is, the victims, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are hiding on the uninhabited coast, which is still far from the place where Leo is anchored.
After remembering all the appearances of those high-ranking people, and finding no more information, Leo threw the man away.
Rubbing his eyebrows tiredly, Leo felt a little strange.
"It's just a woman, and you want to make such a big move? There must be an insider......"
Victoria......
Muttering about this distinctive surname, Leo gradually drifted away from the perspective of the problem, almost to the level of God.
Victoria.
Queen Victoria?
British monarch of the XIX century.
If I were the author......
You don't just name people Victoria.
So it represents...... Sindoli should not only be a star, but also a more important hidden identity.
King...... Tribe?
