Chapter 241: Ticks (4)

"If there's a next time," Lila said in a faint voice, "can you give me a little reminder?"

She was exhausted, her eyes tingled from the bright white light, and the black-haired girl turned her head, closed her eyes, and gritted her teeth, resisting a sharper and more severe headache. "You almost killed him."

"I'm sorry." Sasha said that he knew that his actions were abrupt and extremely risky, that he had seen Lila's abilities with his own eyes, and that Dr. Hopkins had analyzed them for him, and that Lila's abilities were of the kind that had a lot of development - although they seemed to be very suitable for magic - drift rod penetration, but at the end of the day, her ability should be to change herself and the structure of the matter she can come into contact with.

Suddenly one more person - Lila is likely to misestimate the strength she needs and miss Charlie to be caught in the floor of the baptistery.

The Agency's Operational Team member "Abel" has abilities that are somewhat similar to Lila's, but his abilities don't care about the Ghoul, or more accurately, the Ghoul thinks he's just misused his abilities.

"To exchange organic matter with life and soul for inorganic matterโ€”" said Dr. Hopkins, "yes, it looks beautiful, and it has been said that if he can be provided with enough living things, he can exchange it for an infinite number of precious goods, steel, gold, rhodium, plutonium, red silicon, boron, aluminium, calcium, peptibeptenanthrinthrene, californium...... Can you? Theoretically, it seems like it can, but let's see, can he really do it? No, the trader hidden behind Abel's abilities is an out-and-out, old-fashioned and stupid miser - 'it' never accumulates when calculating what is being converted, and never takes anything other than energy into account.

You give him a million little mice, and he can only exchange one at a time, one rubber ball at a time? Do you need a million rubber balls? What can a person's life be exchanged for? A pistol, a shield? A crystal sculpture? Or a set of stainless steel kitchenware? Of course, you can also give him a third of the blacks or Jews, so maybe he can open a good supermarket chain?

Or give him a blue whale? How many grams of californium do you think he can get? How many blue whales are there in the world?

A turkey is worth as much as a crested ibis.

The ugly is the same as the beautiful, the hated is the same as the loved, the revered is the same as the despised, and the one who saves others is the same as the one who mutilates others.

When Big Hopkins said this, he squinted his eyes and grimaced on behalf of the uncanny: "Simple to the point of no thought, cheap, overflowing...... Fair. โ€

"You know what reminds me of that?" He continued: "Yes, it is death, and only death can have such a mesmerizing stench - there is only one true destination of Abel's ability - and that is murder. Abel's abilities have been there for murder since the beginning, and think of how lucky people are, he was too stupid to think of it, otherwise the police department, the FBI, and the 'agency' would have to worry about a bastard who should have been in the electric chair a thousand times - the murdered person had vanished without a trace, and the cop could imagine that what he was looking for was motionless to care for his ass or grace his fireplace. โ€
