Chapter 98: Chasing the Murderer

Such a scene is obviously due to the change of the client, Kelly's family, Abner and Hugh glanced at each other, and tacitly acted separately.

Right now, the sooner the situation is figured out, the more likely it is that people will be rescued.

Hugh took three or two steps to the door of a nearby house, forcibly knocked on the closed door, and used his "majesty" to make most of the residents of the Eastern Side who were reluctant to cause trouble reluctantly tell what he had seen and heard before.

Abner looked around in the old apartment of Kelly's family for clues and traces, extracted the breath in it, and then used the "scene backtracking" ability to restore the scene that had just happened:

I saw eight strong men with obvious characteristics of the Southern Continent breaking into this old apartment with a menacing attitude, and behind them there was a middle-aged man in formal clothes and a top hat, because this person left the least breath, his appearance was a little blurred.

The Kelly family was not without resistance, and the client's husband, husband and young son, who were clearly trained in martial arts, each grabbed an iron rod and rushed forward.

The two of them have a lot of strength, they are very particular about cooperating with each other, and they are extremely ruthless.

Although the eight strong men with the appearance characteristics of the Southern Continent relied on the numerical advantage to gain the upper hand, they couldn't win it immediately for a while.

But at this time, the middle-aged man who had been pressing behind seemed to be a little impatient.

When he struck his cane on the ground, Kelly's husband and son immediately showed anger on their faces, and they swung their iron rods at each other, and within a few blows they both fell to the ground.

The eight strong men took the opportunity to rush up and tie up the father and son, as well as Kelly, who had been hiding in the house.

Eventually, they shoved the family of three towards the dock to the south.

This is the end of the picture, but Abner's expression is more serious. Because according to the information obtained from the retrospective, the leading man in formal clothes is obviously an extraordinary person.

But what extraordinary abilities did he use? In an instant, the father and son killed each other...... Illusion or mind control abilities?

Abner thought for a moment, then opened the "Pure White Eye" and analyzed the breath left by the middle-aged man in formal clothes using his extraordinary ability.

Last time, because of the "backtracking", he almost faced a terrible existence, Abner actually muttered a little about using the "pure white eye" to analyze the extraordinary aura of unknown origin, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he can't worry about the sky and waste food because of choking because of a small probability event, after all, this is the "golden finger" that he can rely on, and he should use it at a critical time.

The main body is the illusion ability of the 'fraudster', and it is also mixed with "provocation...... It must have used extraordinary items, no wonder the father and son killed each other so quickly. However, this ability has a very poor effect on me, and under the suppression of the high level of the Pure White Eye, similar mental and illusion abilities have almost no effect.

As soon as Abner thought of this, he saw Hugh returning in a hurry, and he took the initiative to meet him and shared the information about the backtracking with her: "There are nine people in total, the leader is an extraordinary person, the extraordinary way is not known for the time being, but he has an extraordinary item in his hand that can use illusion and provocation ability. ”

Hugh nodded, and also spoke: "The residents in the neighborhood know the people who came to arrest the Kelly family, they should all belong to the Black Skull Party, and often come to this area to collect protection money. ”

Black Skull Party? Isn't this a gang formed by the Eternal Life Society and the East Bailang Restoration Society? I remember that in the original book, Klein lit a match and sent it all to see death......

Wait, the Eternal Life Society seems to be an offshoot of the Spirit Order, and if they were behind the scenes directing the "Vincennes Labor and Service Company" to dig up things at Jane's house, it would make sense...... After all, the Eternal Life Society should also be a subordinate of the "Artificial Death" faction, and has long had the task of finding items related to the Grim Reaper.

And the Grant family may have a lot of connections with the "Grim Reaper", otherwise they would not be valued by the demigod powerhouse.

While Abner was thoughtful, Hugh continued: "They have only been gone for a quarter of an hour, and they are in a hurry! ”

Abner heard the resoluteness in her tone and asked deliberately, "Are you sure you want to rescue them immediately, rather than follow them to the lair?" In the latter, you may be able to get more clues. ”

Hearing Abner's words, Hugh thought seriously for a moment before shaking his head and saying firmly: "I am the 'sheriff', and this is my 'jurisdiction', and it is the duty of the 'sheriff' to save people. ”

I don't know the specific code, but I think maybe the "sheriff" should play that role...... Although most of this comes from Hugh's heart.

Abner thought to himself, but with a smile on the surface, he motioned for Hugh to come closer, grabbed his arm, and then took out a charm and whispered "Storm" in ancient Hermes.

Immediately afterward, a strong wind rose from his feet, and he and Hugh quickly lifted into the air and flew towards the docks to the south.

This is the "flying" ability of Sequence 6 "The Wind Dependent".

Because the skill of this level of Abner can't be simulated for the time being, he can only pray to the "unknown land" and give the spell the "flight" ability that has been analyzed by the pure white eye, but it is only valid for 2 hours.

This spell was just made by Abner before going out in the afternoon, and it will be invalidated in ten minutes, so it is just used here.

Hugh was often carried away by Abner using the "Hat of the Sea Breeze" during his time on Damir Island, so he skillfully grabbed his arm and flew into the air with him.

Inevitably being seen and provoking the official extraordinary, Abner turned on the "Pure White Eye" at the moment of liftoff, giving himself and Xiu a "stealth" ability. Although this ability is only a low-level version, it will not fail as long as you don't make big moves, and it is barely enough to cover your body during flight.

As for where does this ability come from? Of course, at last night's extraordinary party, when the "confession" revolver was sent to the teacher for identification, the teacher secretly analyzed it with "2-081" and learned the "stealth" ability on the gun.

And since "2-081" will be, Abner, who took it that night to parse, will naturally be.

Back in the present, Abner and Hugh chased after him for less than five minutes, and then condescendingly saw the Black Skull Party and the Kelly family.

"I'll deal with the leading extraordinary, and you will rescue the hostages." After lowering the altitude, Abner said to Hugh in a low voice.

"Understood." Hugh bowed slightly, and took the three-edged thorn in his hand. After all, this is an urban area, and even if you become an MI9 agent, you have to pay attention to the impact.

On the street, a middle-aged man in a suit and top hat was thinking about his own thoughts while absentmindedly glancing back at the gangsters behind him.

But his gaze suddenly froze, for at the feet of one of the thugs, a shadow that did not belong to him appeared, and the top of the thug's head was empty.

"Not good, there are enemies!" Although the middle-aged man was not in a high sequence, he had also seen many extraordinary abilities, and he knew that this was an enemy approaching, so he did not hesitate to take out the pistol from the pouch and shoot it at the top and feet of the gangster.

But before he could move, he heard a word "crimson" pronounced in the ancient Hermetian language.

"Charms?" Although the middle-aged man guessed the methods used by the enemy, a deep sense of tranquility had instantly permeated him, and he tried his best to keep himself from falling asleep, but at this moment, the sound of reciting poetry sounded in his ears again:

"Oh, the sun of insomniac! Melancholy star!

"'Past', the bright light of the past is also flickering,

"But its faint light has not a trace of heat;

"'Sorrow' is all in the light of the night,

"It's clear, but it's distant; Brilliant, but how cold! ”

By the end of the poem recitation, the middle-aged man could no longer resist the sleepiness and soon fell into a dream.
