Chapter Twenty-Three: Prelude

Ten days later, in a manor on the outskirts of Youkexin City.

At the dinner table, Lucy picked up the corner of the napkin and wiped his mouth gently.

Across from him, Daphne was dealing with a roasted golden suckling pig, with empty plates stacked next to it, and Lucy couldn't figure out where the food was packed as she looked at her bulging belly.

"Speaking of which, Johnny still hasn't learned to read."

After hearing his words, the little girl said vaguely: "That guy has no talent for learning to read, no matter how he meditates, he can't feel the existence of qi, I originally wanted to forcibly open his fine hole, but he has no confidence in himself, and he doesn't dare to try anything." ”

"That's it, it's a little pity, in his position, if you can't read, you can only arrange more masters to protect you." Lucy played with the napkin, and with a slight force on his fingers, the napkin stood up as if by magic, and with a slight stroke, a small piece fell off the edge of the table like a cut of tofu.

"Hey, can you use it?" Daphne asked in surprise as she put down her knife and fork.

"The lockdown was just lifted today." Lucy threw down the napkin, losing the power of reading, and the napkin lay softly on the table. With a movement of his wrist, he opened his palm upward, and a ball of telekinetic energy condensed air bullets emanated from his palm, constantly jumping in mid-air.

Then a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the surface of the air bomb, which was controlled by Lucy to turn into rays of light that spread out, and then turned from light to point of light, exploding like fireworks.

Facing Daphne's curious eyes, Lucy casually explained, "It's just a small trick, and it doesn't help the ability itself. ”

"That being said, it's amazing to be able to use the skills of the release system and the change system so skillfully." Daphne looked at him with a smile: "It only took two years to become a Sequence 5 person, and you have become stronger than the last time we met." ”

"Is it strong...... Lucy shook his head, "I think I'm still too immature." ”

"It's rare to hear you say such a thing, I heard that you suffered a big loss in beating the enemy a month ago, it can't be that monster in Maha, right?" As soon as Daphne finished speaking, she denied it: "No, if it's really Maha, I don't think you can come back alive." ”

She speculated with great interest: "So, who gave you such a big blow and made you seem to be a different person." Jeno, or Shiba? ”

Lucy sighed lightly, "You should know that Maha also has a son, right?" This time it was planted in his hands, and he almost couldn't come back. ”

"Then you're really out of luck," Daphne looked at him sympathetically, "that old guy has been living on Meteor Street, and no one has seen him for more than twenty years, and I thought he was dead." ”

"As long as you use [entanglement] to control the loss of your own qi for a long time, and use it to strengthen your body, how can these old monsters die of old age so easily." Lucy leaned back and leaned back in his chair: "Anyway, he taught me a good lesson this time, even if I tried my best, I couldn't find the slightest chance, if it wasn't for luck, you really wouldn't have seen me this time." ”

Daphne gradually frowned: "Even you say that...... Is there really that big a gap between us and those old monsters? ”

Lucy shrugged:

"Far beyond your imagination, I couldn't catch the flow of his qi when I fought him, I didn't know where the next attack would start, and I could only be beaten passively. Later, I forcibly opened the [Puppet Hand], and I could only barely keep up with his movements, but fortunately, I gave the order to run away when there was still half of the time, and he didn't chase after him, so I was able to pick up my life. ”

He couldn't help but sigh: "The smooth sailing in the past few years has made me a little blind, and I have to say that this time is too risky." Fortunately, my goal was finally achieved, and the result was not too bad. ”

Daphne didn't ask him about his purpose of taking such a big risk to beat the enemy Hakka, took a glass of juice and took a sip, and rolled her eyes: "Hawkers, don't talk about that, it just so happens that you have recovered your mind, the auction will start in twenty days, and then I will trouble you to sit down~ As long as it's not an old monster of that level, I don't think anyone else will be your opponent, right?" ”

"In fact, that's one of the purposes of my coming here." Lucy got up from his chair, walked to the window of the hall, and opened the curtains to look at the pool in the courtyard: "I asked Johnny to release the news before, this auction has many valuable treasures, which should attract a lot of jackals and wild dogs to come and grab them. ”

"With the business of your brothers and sisters in the past few years, the people who still dare to fight the idea of the auction are either fools who have been blinded by greed, or they are masters who are extremely confident in their own strength."

Lucy turned her head to look at Daphne and whispered:

"I, I hope it's the latter."

"The more the merrier."

"Let me test myself and see what I did this month."

-----------------------------

Nobunaga walked into a residential building with a katana and followed the smell of blood to find the meeting point.

"Hmm, it's hard work, it looks like the enemy has been dealt with?" March said without looking back as she watched the TV show. Beside her, a giant man with earlobes reaching to his shoulders couldn't find a seat that could accommodate him, so he leaned cross-legged against the corner and said, "It's just a few miscellaneous fish, not an enemy." ”

"Franklin, you guy, do you want to fight?" Nobunaga asked with a grim face, and at the same time put his hand on the handle of the knife.

March was still watching the TV, without the slightest intention of dissuasion, when a short young man came out of the bedroom: "That guy's mouth has been pried open by me, do you want to change places?" ”

"Yes, I didn't want to stay here for a long time." March pressed the remote control to turn off the TV, and stretched: "Why are you so slow this time, are you enjoying the torture, Feitan?" ”

"Ah, that guy has a hard mouth, I first peeled off his nails, then broke his fingers, and he confessed when it was his turn to be on all fours." The short young man named Feitan took off his blood-stained gloves and said casually, he glanced at the three of them: "Is there only four of us in this operation, what about the regimental commander?" ”

"The regiment commander has something else, it seems that he has discovered two telekinesis with special abilities, and is ready to let them join the brigade as well." March conveyed the order: "Our mission this time is to steal a leather book from the auction, and the head of the group has been searching for its whereabouts, but I didn't expect it to appear at this auction." ”

Franklin said in a deep voice: "The auction in Youkexin City is jointly organized by the Ten Old Men and the Leeds Family, aside from the Ten Old Men, I have investigated the intelligence about the Leeds Family, it is very tricky, it is not comparable to ordinary gangsters, do you want to be their enemy?" ”

Nobunaga scratched his head disapprenorantly: "No matter how much you say, it's just a gangster, how strong can you be, you won't be afraid, right?" ”

March interrupted the next argument between the two: "The head of the regiment also said that the Leeds family should not be underestimated, they have some connection with the most famous assassination organization in recent years, Death Rose, so the four of us acted together. It's best to steal the human skin book, and try not to get into a head-on confrontation with them. ”

Hearing this, Fei Tan narrowed his eyes: "Hey, it's a pity, I still want to kill." ”
