Constance City, inside a single-family house at 9 Hyacinth Street.

Valentine hunched over his desk, writing and drawing while reading a book on psychology.

He is less than thirty years old, with neat black hair, calm brown eyes, and no memorable features in his appearance, but he has a temperament that makes people unforgettable at first sight.

Only three years ago, he was an ordinary public school teacher, living a life of shamstring and visible ends, but by chance, he joined an organization called the "Psychological Alchemy Society", and now not only has the single-family house he once dreamed of, but also has become the extraordinary person of Sequence 7.

This level is already in the middle order in modern times, even within Conston's organization, it is already the middle and upper level.

And he was able to be promoted so quickly because he was appreciated by that lord and gave him corresponding extraordinary materials.

Of course, it is also inseparable from his meticulous logical thinking, and he summed up the "acting method" in less than half a year.

At a recent gathering, he took over a task from the lord to turn a local factory owner against his partner, a businessman who did transnational business.

Valentine did his research after taking over the task, and learned that not only did the factory owner and the merchant have a good personal relationship, but the only daughter of the factory owner was the fiancée of the merchant's eldest son......

It can be said that if nothing else, the connection between the two sides will only grow closer and closer until they become a family.

So, in order to complete the task, Valentine used some means, taking advantage of the weakness of the young man's lack of knowledge, to make the merchant's son obsessed with a courtesan, and designed the factory owner's daughter to break the adultery between them......

Then, he used his extraordinary ability to "guide" the girl to the extreme, and it was reasonable to jump into the river to commit suicide, so as not to arouse suspicion.

And the only daughter died because of this, no matter how good the personal relationship between the factory owner and the merchant is, there is a high probability that he will turn against him......

What's more, Valentine also arranged several back-up positions to ensure that this matter went according to his ideas.

"I'm really enjoying the feeling of holding other people in the palm of my hand and fiddling with them more and more!" Valentine sighed, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his thoughts, in his opinion, it was normal for the strong to dominate the weak, just like when he was a public school teacher, he never cared about bullying incidents between students.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Valentine thought that the "good news" had arrived, so after a slow cup of coffee, he said "come in".

Soon, a man with a portable camera on his chest walked in.

"How? Did you get it? Valentine put down his coffee cup and said leisurely, "This news may become the headline of our newspaper and drive more sales." ”

It is worth mentioning that Mr. Valentine, who is now the owner of a tabloid newspaper, had previously instructed his reporter to "just happen" to take pictures of the jumping into the river after "hinting" at the factory owner's daughter.

Of course, afterwards, he must have made the reporter forget about something, so that he only thinks that he happened to pass by.

"Boss, that young lady hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't jump into the river......" The reporter who entered the office said helplessly.

"What?" Valentine looked up in shock for the first time, staring at his men and asking, "Is there something going on around her?" Tell me more about what you saw. ”

The reporter was taken aback by the boss's attitude, but he still honestly told what he had seen, and in his mouth, the young lady just watched the river for a while, and then went back to stand on the bank of the river for a while.

How so? How did she get rid of my insinuation? The more Valentine listened, the deeper her brow furrowed, and finally asked, "Where is she now?" ”

"I think I went to the Rand club...... She wants to rely on playing tennis and other sports to vent her frustration. The reporter replied.

This reason is his speculation, after all, he can't get into the fancy club.

"That's fine...... Looks like I'm going to have to see for myself what's going on. ”

Valentine thought about it, used his ability to erase the memories of his men, then picked up his coat and draped it over his body, and wanted to ride to the Rand Club.

Unlike his reporters, he has members there.

But as soon as he went out, he saw several policemen pointing at him from a distance, telling a man wearing red gloves beside him.

The "red gloves" of the Church of the Night?! My move was discovered? How is this possible? I was so careful to make every move as reasonable as possible...... The scum in the organization who directly hypnotized other people's whole families and occupied other people's identities were not discovered, how could it be that I was exposed?

Seeing that the red gloves had already looked over, Valentine did not dare to delay, and immediately took out the life-saving charm given by the adult, and recited the incantation "teleportation" in the ancient Hermetian language.

The next moment, he appeared in a dimly lit building, in front of a man who had covered his face with a mask.

Seeing this, Valentine was just about to salute and say what he had exposed, but before he could act, he saw the "adult" in front of him take off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

"You don't know who he is...... Even the building doesn't know where it is, and every party is brought in blindfolded, right? ”

With that, the young man sighed, then snapped his fingers.

Immediately afterward, Valentine was surprised to find himself back in the office, still holding the coat undraped, as if everything had just been a dream.

The only difference is that in front of him is not his reporter, but a man and a woman.

The feminine temperament is lazy and beautiful; The man was exactly the same as the "adult" who had just taken off his mask.

"The First Evolution"

Although Valentine's mentality is inflated, he is not a fool, seeing such a scene, he quickly understood what was happening, the pair of men and women in front of him were obviously powerful extraordinary, and they should have woven a dream just now, wanting to find out the secrets of the organization and the adult.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw the man opposite take out a monocle and put it on his eyes, and then he said to himself:

"Although the information we received was limited, we still gained something......

"You really think you've been appreciated? Hehe, there is also the 'acting method', he really took great pains to make you feel that it was deduced by himself, and arranged so many scenes to prompt...... Even so, it took you half a year to comprehend.

"And the reason he did this is nothing more than to cultivate you to Sequence 5 as soon as possible, and then 'eat' you and gain some of the traits of your bloodline.

"The only reason he appreciates you is that you have a good ancestor!

"I see, the 'seal' in the mouth of the 'Fantasy Dragon' should have the ability to devour flesh and soul, and obtain the 'traits' of the ancestors of the devoured......

"But the Devoured can't be too weak, at least at the level of Sequence 5.

"Half of the soul of 'Sirika' may have been devoured by this seal...... As a descendant of the Grim Reaper, the power provided by the bloodline source is obviously not bad.

"'Gluttony'...... There is nothing wrong with this title.

"However, the power of that seal does not seem to be within the 22 paths......"

It was the last thing Valentine heard, and after that, he lost consciousness completely.

The handsome man was naturally Abner, and after deciphering it with "Amun's monocle", he took it off and put it away, and said to Furth beside him:

"The 'Psychological Alchemy Society' meeting in Conston City will be held next week, and at that time, with the help of this Mr. Valentine's identity, we can really get close to 'gluttony' and figure out his details."

Furth blinked when he heard this, and thought blankly: What does this matter to me? Why tell me?

……

Outside the nameless desert island, on the "Golden Dream".

After greeting the two pirate generals, "Lieutenant General Iceberg" and "Admiral Pale Stone", Crane listened to the mouth of the "messenger" lady who said "with the devil's grudge":

"I've established that Seignior is planning to kill him next Tuesday in order to track Helmosioin to the Blue Mountains Island.

"Do you want to come along?"
