Chapter 36: The Rat War (2)
"You block the left, I'll block the right."
Luo Ning tilted his head sideways and looked at the face that crawled in less than fifty centimeters away from him, and reminded him loudly.
At the same time, I thought to myself that if I suddenly pulled out my hand from my arms now, grabbed it, aimed it at the other person's head, and pulled the trigger, would the problem be solved?
However, the thought only rose three seconds before it was suppressed.
The opponent's hand was also placed on his chest, and only one hand was stretched out to drive away the mouse, and the cautious Duke did not give anyone a chance to sneak up at all.
What's more, if the identity of the opponent's awakened person, what if the opponent's ability happens to have a special restraint effect on firearms.
None of these allow for risk-taking.
Luo Ning's two hands swung quickly inside, driving the two rats away, letting the two rats run to each other's side, and then shouting a reminder.
"They're on your side, hurry up and don't let them get into the crevices again."
Duke looked impatient, swinging his only arm, and the two rats immediately ran back to the other side.
Ronin continued to swing his arms, but tried not to catch the two rats, only then could he delay long enough to buy Franklin time.
After crawling under the bed for a full five minutes, Duke visibly lost his patience, and finally freed up his other hand on his chest, reaching out to grab the two mice.
Sensing the danger of the mouse, Luo Ning got up in a hurry, and hit his head on the bed board, making a crisp sound of "bang".
The two rats immediately returned to Ronin's side with a puff of smoke, and then slipped away through the gap.
"Damn, I was a little excited, I forgot I was still under the bed." Rubbing his head, Ronin looked at Duke who was staring at him a little apologetically. "They're slipping away, let's get out."
Crawling out from under the bed and patting the dust off his body, Luo Ning walked to the door and glanced at the beams of the living room, where the rats were gone.
At this time, Sophia walked over and looked at the two with a blank gaze.
Duke smiled with relief.
"The room is cleaned up."
Ronin nodded.
"Okay, I should go back, I'll send Donina over later."
"No, I'll pick it up later."
Duke refused the offer, walked to the door and opened it, with obvious meaning, and gave the eviction order.
Ronin walked out the door and quickly returned to his cabin.
When he entered the door, Luo Ning looked at the other two people in the room except Dong Nina with some surprise.
Bounty hunter Quinin Carrick sits on the side of his desk like a sculpture with a brand new revolver in his hand and his fingers on the trigger.
Across the desk sat Cheryl from the witch Defia, who was also facing the enemy, staring at the bounty hunter opposite with a grim expression.
When I got a little closer, I realized that Cheryl had one hand under the desk, holding a dagger against the major artery in the bounty hunter's thigh.
The two confronted each other like this, and did not say anything to the young man who entered the door.
Not suitable for children......
Luo Ning quickly picked up Dong Nina, who was sitting on the side and watched the two, and took her to the bedroom and put her on the bed.
"Sit here, don't come out without my permission."
After that, he returned to the outhouse and looked at a man and a woman.
"What are you doing?"
After a moment, the bounty hunter spoke first, his voice intensely hostile.
"It was my mistake not to tell you that the witches of Witch Difia's organization are evil monsters, but it doesn't seem too late now."
Cheryl then reminded in the same tone.
"Mr. Austin, you're a little too kind to be friends with these sanctimonious scum of the Silver Dawn Brotherhood, and if it weren't for the fact that you saved me, I would have thought you were in league with them."
"I'm really in the same league as him."
Luo Ning sneered, looking at the situation in front of him and what the two of them said, he could basically understand that there was a hostile relationship between the witch Defia and the Silver Dawn Brotherhood.
Just as they were about to step forward to comfort the two, the bounty hunter and the witch spoke at the same time.
"Don't come here."
The listener's unkind tone Ronin had to retreat to the same place, and at this time there was a squeaking sound from the beams, and Franklin and his companions had returned.
It seemed unrealistic to let the two of them stop, and he had more important things to do, so he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders in desperation.
"You go on, I'm not interested in being a peacemaker."
Then he walked to the door and looked up to signal the rats to come down.
Dozens of rats instantly came down from the beams of the house, lying on the ground densely, making a squeaky sound.
A scream.
"Ahh
Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, and saw that the witch Cheryl, who was originally facing each other, had jumped onto the chair and stood with a pale face, staring at the rats on the ground.
I almost forgot that witches are afraid of rats.
"Well done, Austin, I'll propose to the employer to give you a good bonus."
For a while, the bounty hunter, who had the upper hand because of the rats, got up and pointed his gun at the pale-faced witch, the corners of his mouth rose, and a cruel smile appeared, praising the young man by the way.
Rond didn't want the bounty hunter to shoot the witch with one shot, after all, the witch can also give him a lot of useful information about the new power system.
Tell the rats to stay where they are, and step forward and hold the bounty hunter's hand holding the gun.
"It's messy enough now, Mr. Quinine, I'd appreciate it if you could stop it for a while, and if you still think I'm your companion, don't make a mess of my house."
The bounty hunter looked sideways at the serious expression on the young man's face, and after a moment withdrew his firearm.
"I'm also not in favor of killing people in my partner's room, your blood will defile this place."
The witch Cheryl was still standing in her chair with a miserable expression.
"Hurry up, let these damn rats go."
Ronin ignored the witch's plea and returned to Franklin.
"What did you find?"
Franklin immediately began to tell.
"There were some strange objects in it, and the rest were some materials that we couldn't understand, and we didn't have enough time, so we simply brought some of them."
Soon the rats returned to the roof and brought some torn paper down from the roof, in large quantities, during which Cheryl let out two more screams.
The rats put together the torn pieces of paper and laid them out in a row, about thirty pages.
Ronin was about to check the contents when he heard the bounty hunter's voice in his ears.
"So the primordial fate card is a minion, and the ability you gain is to communicate with animals?"
Ronin checked the content and nodded, now he has no interest and time to explain this to others, it won't be long before Duke will come and take Tonina, he must get to know the other party as much as possible before this, because he decided to do it tonight, otherwise, according to the accidents that happened today, seeing Tonina again tomorrow morning may turn into a living corpse like her mother.
The handwritten content, which should be research notes or something, is mostly about the new power system, and most of the content is consistent with or similar to the information provided by the bounty hunter and Cheryl, and it seems that most researchers who study the new power system are basically at the same level in their research progress.
Only the research of the Witch Defiya Organization is slightly ahead!
Distill useful information.
The first point: the inevitable event of the awakening's second class upgrade will be conflicting.
In layman's terms, it means that all Awakened Beings need to go through the inevitable events that need to be experienced to improve their second professional title will definitely be the opposite of that of another Awakened Person with the same purpose.
For example, the current inevitable event of Ronin is to help Donina escape from the clutches of the devil, and at the same time, there will be another Awakened person who needs to complete the inevitable event of advancing to a second class is to make Tonina suffer in the dark forever, or let her die.
"This is the real reason why all the Awakened will have another Awakened in the process of completing the inevitable event."
The second point: if the inevitable or fatalistic event of the awakened person is involved, those irrelevant people will inevitably eventually become cursed, and will always accompany the awakened one, posing a threat to the safety of the awakened one.
The bounty hunter, who was also looking at the contents of these research notes, frowned, pursed his lips, and raised his head to look at the young man in front of him who was looking at the notes.
"I'm here to tell you that the Order Cult has seen quite a few curses, most of whom have vanished."
"Then these cursed people will inevitably find themselves and threaten their own safety, because the cursed people of the Church of Order are all caused by studying the content of the slate that appeared in their fateful events."
Ronin understood what the Bounty Hunter meant, it wouldn't be long before the vanished Cursed would find him, and that was why Rensad found him in the first place.
Looking at the research notes in front of him, he instantly felt Alexander.
But these are all afterwords, the most important thing is the problem at hand, continue to check the content of the note, and finally see a picture sketched with a pen.
A man carrying a toolbox!
"It should be Duke's original fate card."
Ronin didn't know him, looking at the bounty hunter.
"It's an apprentice card, and his special ability is sharpness, and no matter what he does, he will be twice as fast as a normal person."
Keen?
Ronin hesitated for a moment to tell the story of Duke that Mouse and Benjamin had searched for.
"Be able to make knives and forks dance, and make corpses become puppets to be driven......"
The bounty hunter muttered about what the young man had just told him about Duke.
"It's supposed to be the magic of the Plague Church." After a moment he explained.
Luo Ning also thought so, now that he knew the other party's special ability, he had to prepare for battle, and suddenly there was a silver bell-like laughter in his ears, coming from Cheryl who was standing in a chair.
"If you believe this guy, you're going to die a terrible death."
Ronin looked at Cheryl on the chair and vaguely guessed that the bounty hunter's judgment was wrong, and the girl should know something.
The girl thought for a moment.
"Get rid of those rats first, I hate them."
Franklin's mission was complete, and as for the geographic information, he could find another time to collect it, and waved his hand to signal the rats to leave the house.
After the mouse left, Cheryl jumped out of her chair, walked over to look at the pattern, glanced at the bounty hunter with disdain, and then spoke quietly.
"His original destiny card is indeed an apprentice."
The bounty hunter looked at the girl hostilely.
"So what's wrong with what I said earlier?"
Cheryl sat down and pointed to the two bars in the corners of the pattern on the original fate card.
"This means that he has been upgraded, and his second class has been upgraded from apprentice to doctor, so I guess he can make knives and forks dance and make corpses become puppets, which is the second ability obtained after upgrading to a doctor."
There was a pause.
"Previously, we called the apprentice's second class after the upgrade was a doctor, but we didn't know what the acquired abilities were, and your discovery has given the witch Defiia a small step forward in her research into the new power system."
New discoveries!
It turns out that the original destiny card held after the second class is upgraded will have an imperceptible horizontal bar in the upper left corner.
Mind back to pre-battle preparations, Duke now has two abilities, Acuity and Manipulation.
Luo Ning took a long breath, and at this moment there was a clear sound of footsteps outside the door, approaching the door.
The opponent is coming! The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
Luckily, I now have two powerful helpers! That's when the bounty hunter's voice came.
"I can help you kill the Cursed One related to your fateful event, but not your Fatal Event, then I will become a Cursed One, and you will have to deal with the rest on your own."
The knock on the door was already accompanied by the bounty hunter's voice.
I can only rely on myself!
When Ronin turned around and was about to tell the two to hide first, Cheryl and the bounty hunter were nowhere to be seen.
"Lightspeed Evacuation ......"
