Chapter 2: The Handbook of Evil (Asking for Votes and Collections)

Wait a minute?

What binding!

Higashinohara woke up suddenly, only to find that he still couldn't control his body.

But at this moment, I am not as drowsy as before, and I am about to lose my last consciousness at any time, I only feel as if my soul is soaked in water, and my mind is peaceful and calm.

Bind?

Could it be that this is also the ability of the other party?

Higashinohara, who had regained consciousness, tried to calm himself, but before he could think about it, the bound progress bar was already completed, and the ethereal voice in his head continued to be heard.

Higashinohara looked at the panel and was a little confused, and the "extremely weak" hanging behind those attributes made him twitch at the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but lose face.

Just call me a weak chicken...

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, a cold warning sound sounded in his mind.

.....

The Celestial Tiger Girl?

Wait a minute!

Didn't you say a good cat-eared girl?

Belch... This doesn't seem to be the point, the point is this inexplicable sin manual in my head, and what the hell is this capture mission that will be generated immediately? Could this be the one in the online article of the previous life...

Higashinohara has read few novels before, but he still knows some jokes from surfing the Internet all year round, what is through the otherworldly heavenly system, and the beautiful little brother follows one after another.

It's all about the and the six.

Phew——!

He tried to compose himself, thinking that this might be... Bah! This special meow must be a lately arrived system as a traverser!

It's too late...

Higashinohara looked at the available tasks carefully, but he didn't dislike the rewards, but the difficulty of this task was a bit high.

I was just obviously a face-to-face and was tricked.

Catch?

How to catch?

You can't be reckless, right?

At this time, Higashinohara suddenly noticed that there was a line of notes below the task released by the [Sin Handbook] in his mind.

[Note: The character honorary title [Follower of Justice] can provide the host with a temporary free allocation of attribute points of sin value X10, which lasts for half an hour, please hurry up after the distribution, justice is urgent!] 】

5 temporary, freely allocated stat points?

QUEST BUFF?

Hmm, half an hour is enough, but isn't 5 temporary free attribute points too few?

Looking at the annotation, it seems that the higher the other party's sin value, the more attribute points.,It seems that this catwoman thief is not evil enough...

Shaking his head, Higashinohara was not cheap and behaved, and carefully swept his attribute layout.

His various attributes seem to be miserable, except for agility, which barely got a faint evaluation, but 21.7's agility will not change much even if it is added to 5 points, right?

The other party is still a rare person with spiritual ability, and he was recruited as soon as he saw it, and now he can really carry this tiger girl when he goes out?

Or maybe it's a different way of thinking?

Higashinohara knew that although the various abilities in this world were arranged according to the serial number and had strict hierarchies, the serial number did not represent absolute combat effectiveness, and those with similar abilities also had mutual restraint with each other.

Since that Tmall girl has the pupil technique [Crimson Pupil], she obviously belongs to the spiritual system, so she prescribes the right medicine and puts all the 5 temporary attribute points in her will...

Although he knows how attribute points compare with the level of the ability person, maybe he can carry it?

Just as Higashinohara was thinking, the darkness around him gradually faded in his mind, and his surroundings gradually became apparent—his body was slowly retreating, and the girl turned her head and walked briskly towards the exit at a speed close to "five centimeters per second".

Higashinohara quickly found the cause.

Time outside does not stand still after he enters the Guilty Handbook, but passes slowly at a rate of about 1:60, i.e., one minute has passed on the outside and one second on the inside.

Despite this, if he hesitated for ten or so minutes, the girl of the Heavenly Tiger Clan would probably also leave the gate of the station in those ten seconds, without further ado...

Fight for it!

Higashino has been in this strange world for more than half a year, and he has always acted cautiously.

Even in school, he is cautious and low-key, the fundamental reason is the self-knowledge of his own strength, and the "Gou" word that he often kept in mind when playing games in his previous life.

If you stabilize it, you may win, but if you die, you will lose.

But now it's different.

There is a potentially life-changing opportunity just around the corner.

Fight!

When Higashinohara added 5 temporary attribute points to the will, the will of the [Guilty Handbook] personal attribute panel immediately increased from 15.9 to 20.9.

At this moment, he seemed to feel some invisible and untouchable black mist tentacles poking out of his mind, spreading like smoke in all directions, but he quickly stopped the momentum, and his will became stronger than ever.

At the same time, his mind moved slightly.

The surrounding images receded like a tide, and the noisy human voices in reality, the sound of sirens in the distance, and various images filled every corner of Higashinohara's senses again, and the feeling of being stripped and stuffed back was very novel and incredible!

At this moment, under the order of [Crimson Pupil], Higashinohara's body was still retreating by inertia, but he realized that he suddenly stopped the momentum, kicked his hind foot violently, and an identical young figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Shadow Moment! Launch!

In the next moment, the two figures rushed towards the girl in front of them at the same time as they were like bursting arrows, and under the shocked gazes of countless passengers around them.

At the station gate, Xia Li's heart suddenly tightened, and the crisis instinct of the Heavenly Tiger Clan made her slender and petite body tense up instantly, and when she suddenly turned around, the pupils in her big eyes shrank suddenly.

He... How can it be?

After a short pause, Xia Li suddenly reacted, her eyes suddenly narrowed like a camera's aperture and turned into a strange dark red, staring at one of the figures.

"Stand back !!"

The girl's coquettish cheers.

Silent energy fluctuations spread like ripples!

Higashinohara, who came up on the hard top, only felt a buzz in his mind, and his eyes went dark, and he almost lost consciousness instantly.

No way!

He immediately realized that even if he added 5 points of will and let the will come close to 21 points, he could only carry it for an extra moment in the face of the third-order 1st stage spiritual ability, so that he would have a reaction time.

And then you have to suffer!

What to do?!

At the critical moment, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed Higashinohara's mind!

In his previous life, he was a player of the Yamaguchiyama national server, what is the national server player best at?

Operation, technique, awareness?

Wrong!

At the moment when the remaining consciousness was about to disappear, Higashinohara's mind moved, and his consciousness was coldly pulled into the independent space of the [Sin Handbook].

In the flash of light, his mind moved slightly, and his consciousness instantly broke away from the sin manual and returned to his body.

One in and one out!

That's right!

What national server players are best at...

Of course it's a card bug!

......

Xia Li, who was concentrating on all her strength, originally noticed the young man's gradually dilated pupils and the sudden stagnant pace under her feet, but before she had time to breathe a sigh of relief, her pupils shrank like a needle, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

In the next moment, she watched the young man's face stiffen with an incredible face, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she quickly rushed up and pushed herself down violently, and then the whole person pressed down heavily...

"Congratulations on your arrest!"

The boy's voice rang in Xia Li's ears.

......

On the cold marble floor, Xia Li stared at the boy pressing on her in a daze, and the hood on her head slipped off, revealing short silver hair and pointed cat ears.

Suddenly, many of the passengers around who were attracted by this sudden scene suddenly let out a burst of irrepressible exclamations, followed by a burst of whispered discussions.

"What's going on? Is it a celestial? ”

"Huh? It seems to be a thief on the recent wanted warrant! ”

"She's right!"

"It's dangerous! Almost let the cunning celestial man run away! ”

“......”

In the noisy discussion, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and then a sudden brake was put away.

Not surprisingly, the third reconnaissance team had already rushed over at the first time.

Although the Third Investigation Unit is attached to the Metropolitan Police Department, it is in fact an independent agency from the Metropolitan Police Department, directly reporting to the Prime Minister, and its efficiency is astonishingly high.

Under the navy blue windbreaker, Chief Sugita of the 13th Division of the 3rd Investigation Group, who was wearing silver-rimmed glasses, glanced at the 'subdued' thieves on the marble floor of the station, but his brows were still frowning and said:

"Inform everyone! Check the surrounding situation, prevent the suspect's accomplices from lurking, and the celestial people who negotiated with the dark night ruling will send someone to drag it down first, and I still have a few questions to investigate. ”

"Yes! Captain Sugida"

Mai Aragaki, a young intern girl with a long ponytail next to her, answered the voice, and quickly conveyed the order through the wireless channel, looking at Sugita Tsukasa with some admiration and envy.

Graduated from the Tokyo Central Super Adequate, one of the four university parks in New Tokyo, and at the age of 26, he became a fifth-order superpower with the green ability [Devil May Cry] that was only ranked 51 in the serial number, and he was still a powerful swordsman, and even had great potential to win the title of [Sword Hero], and was quickly promoted to captain less than two years after joining the third investigation team.

Life can be said to be never associated with setbacks and failures.

In contrast, he finally graduated from Takehara Minami Private College, and he was stuffed into the third investigation team by his father, but after completing the order, Mai Aragagaki's gaze swept over the station, and suddenly stared at the boy who was pressing on the girl in the station with some surprise.

How does this guy look... Sound familiar?

As if sensing Mai Aragaki's gaze, Tsukasa Sugita also looked over, groaned and asked, "He's one of ours?" ”

Mai Aragaki was stunned, reacted and quickly shook her head.

"Report to the captain, no!"

"Who's that?" Tsukasa Sugita asked.

The person in charge of the special assault team of the Metropolitan Police Department next to him looked down at the positioning of the equipment and equipment, and couldn't help but lean in and whispered, "Captain Sugita, he seems to be... Enthusiastic citizens who provide clues to the suspect. ”

"Enthusiastic citizens?"

At this moment, not only Sugita Division, but also the other thirteen teams around him were also stunned, because this theft case involved heaven and earth, it was specially handed over to the elite thirteen teams in the group to handle.

I thought they would have a case in their hands, but it took them nearly a week, and every time they were about to find clues, the suspects would disappear under their noses, as if an invisible black hand was quietly wiping the clues to their arrest and solving the case.

After receiving the report today, everyone in the 13th detachment took action like chicken blood, for fear that this time they would come to the scene again and pounce on it.

But none of them expected that this time it was not in the air, but the suspect was controlled on the spot by an "enthusiastic citizen" who looked like a high school student...

This feels...

Why is it a little unpleasant?!

......

Higashinohara also noticed the people of the third investigation team at this time.

glanced down at Xia Li, a silver-white short-haired cat-eared girl who was forcibly pushed down by her own card BUG - the latter was pursing her lips and biting her little tiger teeth and staring at her hatefully, but it seemed that she had no intention of launching a Hitomi Technique to resist again.

Apparently he has already laid down and confessed.

At this moment, two uniformed men of the 13th detachment walked through the gate with weapons in hand.

Higashinohara slowly stood up, and the other party stepped forward to ask for his identity.

He simply took out the armband of the city discipline committee member from his coat pocket - three white bars on a blue background, and a sword and shield logo in the middle, and the people around him also recognized it.

But no one takes it for granted.

On the contrary, I was a little stunned.

Discipline Commissioner?

Isn't this similar to the volunteers who raise small flags at street intersections to help maintain traffic security? There are still such discipline committee members who take the lead and devote themselves to the front line of cracking down on illegal criminals?

This... It's really rare!

Higashinohara was together, and Mai Aragaki outside also reacted.

Her eyes were staring straight at Higashinohara, and her mouth involuntarily opened into an "O" shape - this, this, this... This isn't the Hokkaido high school student who lives in my attic and looks hungry and cold every day?

Did he catch this catwoman?!

......

Higashinohara is a part-time member of the Discipline Committee in New Tokyo, and at the same time, he is studying at Takehara Minami High School and has a school record... Well, although I was at risk of being dissuaded, I was able to complete my identity registration quickly and successfully.

The attention of the third reconnaissance team also quickly shifted from him to the female thief on the ground, and they pulled Xia Li up very vigilantly, and someone immediately walked up behind her, "clicked" her neck with his hands and feet, and put on a dark gold collar.

Higashinohara knew that thing, and it is said to be known as the biggest invention in the police world three hundred years ago - the ability choke.

Once the capable person wears it, he will be restrained by the superpower, and some superpowers who do not cultivate physical skills are not even ordinary strong men, which can be said to greatly reduce the difficulty of the Metropolitan Police Department's detention of superpowers.

Of course, this also depends on the situation.

The higher the level of the ability, the weaker the effect of the strangulation, and if you want to take it in, you can only rely on manpower and material resources to fill it - the "good news" is that there are very few high-level ability, and even if they commit a crime, they may not be so easy to catch.

However, when the people of the third investigation team took Xia Li away, Higashinohara inadvertently glanced at the first fugitive who was captured by himself, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to see a relaxed look of relief on the girl's face.

Well?

Was it condemned by conscience when he fled?

Relief after being caught?

Higashinohara was thinking in his heart, when suddenly there was a loud page turning sound in his mind, and the [Sin Handbook] was turned over the title page and stopped on the first page of Xia Li's information.

[Congratulations on the completion of the host capture mission]

【Start Payment...】

[Attribute Point Reward: 0.5 (can be added freely)]

[Ability Reward: Crimson Pupil (Consumes Source Power Points to Advance)]

Crimson pupils?

"Is this a skill book?"

Higashinohara recalled the tasks and rewards that the system had said earlier, and reacted quickly, and his heart suddenly pounded violently.

Everything just happened so suddenly.

At first, he just stood up for the sake of that little bonus, who would have thought that the other party would be able to control himself with a single face, and a [Crime Manual] popped up in his mind at the critical moment.

Although the reward appeared in his mind now, he still felt apprehensive in his heart, and the great rise and fall of his life was so sudden that it felt a little unreal in hindsight.

That's... Try a little more?

Higashinohara glanced at the attribute bar of his character panel:

[Strength: 11.3 (Very Weak)]

[Dexterity: 21.7 (Weak)]

[Constitution: 8.6 (very weak)]

[Perception: 9.7 (Very Weak)]

[Will: 15.9 (Very Weak)]

[Energy particle affinity: water, fire, wind, thunder, light, darkness... (0)]

[Ability: Shadow Instant, Crimson Pupil (Progression 0/1)]

[Character Title: Follower of Justice (Guilt x10), Duration: 30 minutes]

[physical condition: human body restraint device (lift)]

[Stats: 0]

[Source Power Point: 1 (Newcomer Reward)]

At present, perhaps because of his ability [Shadow Instant], only the agility attribute can be seen relatively well, and it has received a "weak" praise.

Higashinohara knows very well that equilibrium sometimes represents mediocrity, and he must make trade-offs to maximize his strengths when he has limited attribute points.

Then you don't have to choose.

He decisively added all 0.5 free attribute points to agility, and the moment the idea arises, the agility column of the panel instantly appears +0.5↑.

Dexterity: 22.2 (Weak)

Although there was only a 0.5 attribute increase, at this moment, Higashinohara only felt as if a strange electric current passed through his body, and there was a tingling sensation in his mind, and then his whole body suddenly became a little lighter.

It seems like... Really?!

Higashinohara suddenly felt happy in his heart, and his active mind immediately fell into thinking again.

He knew that his attribute panel was a mess, but the agility high point was mostly due to his ability [Shadow Instant] to improve agility.

However, as we all know, Shadow Instant is a non-progressable ability in the list of abilities.

But now that you can increase your agility by adding points, does it mean that you can forcibly improve the ability sequence of [Shadow Instant] by reversing the method of increasing agility?

Logically, it doesn't seem to be a problem...

Sure enough, God threw me in this inexplicable world, and it was impossible for me to fend for myself - he had completely ignored how many times he scolded the thief God when he first arrived in this world and was embarrassed.

At this moment, Higashinohara was not in a hurry to withdraw from the [Sin Manual], and his eyes moved to the [Crimson Pupil] that burst out of Xia Li's body in the ability bar of the Sin Handbook panel.

In this world, people with abilities are divided into innate or acquired tempering and awakening, or using the fruits of ability created by scientific research to awaken.

In contrast, relying on the fruit of ability is similar to being a guinea pig, and the ability to obtain is more dangerous and not so easy to control, and there are countless examples of sudden death after ability disorder.

It can be said to be an act of gambling.

But no matter which one it is, ordinary people can only awaken one ability - there is no second ability to awaken, but it is rare for more than a thousand years.

Now that he has the ability of [Shadow Instant], this manual that inexplicably appears in his mind is really so amazing? Can he actually have a second ability?

Higashinohara didn't need to think much at this time, as soon as his mind moved, a strange feeling instantly surged up in his left eye, as if he had turned into a demon who controlled people's hearts, and immediately canceled his ability.

This reward has really been implemented!

Whew!

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart again.

To be honest, although he has been in this world for more than half a year, he has gradually adapted to the environment with the encouragement of "UPUP" in his heart with an optimistic attitude, but occasionally he will feel humbled and unreliable.

I always feel like I'm going to die in Tokyo one day.

But today is different.

Although the serial number of this Crimson Pupil is only ranked 89, and he is not even ranked in the top 72, he is also a dual-talent ability now.

In addition, the Guilty Handbook does not have a limit on "ability gauges", so that means... I have a lot to do in the future!

Of course, the premise is that you can't die for the sake of the mission.

Higashinohara stabilized his mind, and his gaze fell on the words "Consumption of source power points can be advanced" behind the crimson pupil again, and then his gaze moved to his own source power point column.

[Source Power Point: 1 (Newcomer Reward)]

I haven't obtained the so-called source power points, look at the newcomer reward notes later... This may be the "Starter Pack"?

Can it be advanced?

He carefully recalled the ability sequence list he had seen in the electronic reading room of Takehara South High School, and the scarlet pupil ability of the spiritual department of serial number 89 seemed to be indeed an ability that could be advanced.

And its superordinate abilities are:

Serial No. 16 - [Nine Eyes and Six Paths]

......
