Chapter 16: The Eyebinder
The drizzle had been falling since dusk, crashing against the pavement, against the windows, against the dreary night.
With the help of Sissel, Foxy was promoted.
In fact, before this, Sissel had considered directly letting Foxie take the extraordinary properties of Sequence 6. But in the end, he dismissed the idea.
Why?
For growth.
"Congratulations on becoming the Sequence 8 'Eyebinder', Foxie." Sissel's eyes showed tenderness, and he congratulated Flosis.
After a pause, under Foxie's happy gaze, he reminded again:
"The Eyebinder has weak melee abilities and is a support-oriented sequence. Do you feel that you are now very strong and sober? β
Floxy nodded, and Sissel continued:
"Your inspiration has been greatly boosted, and it is slightly inferior to the 'monster' pathway. You can see things that you couldn't see before, so it's best to keep your eyes on them. β
"With your eyes closed, you can barely discern what's around you, and this ability will increase as you progress through your sequence. Your self-healing speed will also be greatly improved, and you will be able to perceive the dangers around you. β
"The most important thing is that you can't let people see your eyes."
Hearing this, Flcy thought for a moment and asked:
"Why? Mr. β
Sissel explains, "Because the eyes of the Eyebinder are full of curses, and these curses come from the negative effects of the abilities that are enhanced when the eyes are closed. β
"For example, a cup and a kettle, the water in the kettle is a curse, the cup is the eye, every time you use the ability, if there is no cup to catch it, the water will be spilled on the table, and the curse will hurt others."
"But you can't keep your eyes on curses, or you'll be truly blind."
"Huh? So what's the solution? β
Although Flexie asked, she was not really worried, after all, Mr. Sissel would definitely have a way! He is the strongest being in this path!
Sissel read what Flexy was thinking, and felt a little helpless, after all, he couldn't always be blessed by Flosis, his second relative.
Alas, is this the ignorance of the low-sequence extraordinary? Sissel now knows why so many high-ranking Extraordinaries don't bother to talk to low-Sequence Extraordinaires.
He said a little helplessly:
"How? Hehe, you need to let the high-level powerhouses of this path help you. That's why I don't want this path to be spread. β
"Oh...... I see. It dawned on Foxie.
"You can go to Momo and let Him help you." When Sissel said this, he also used "he" to remind Fusse that Momoko was an existence close to Sequence 3.

Inside the Black Thorn Security Company.
Leonard was lying on the table in boredom composing poems, and his poems could only be described as miserable.
"Ahh Crimson Moon!
Yes! Morning in the morning dew!
Pedestrians' tears, my tears,
It's just a dream......"
Leonard suddenly had a burst of inspiration and hurriedly wrote:
"Nightmare kisses for you!"
Parles couldn't help it and complained:
"Boy, don't write it, I feel like I'm going to be blinded by you!"
Leonard snorted, ignoring his external brain, instead picking up the piece of paper and reciting it aloud and with emotion.
He is now in Sequence 8 "The Midnight Poet", so no matter how bad he reads, it is better than ordinary people.
"Ah, Leonard! Can you stop reading, it's really noisy! I was just about to fall asleep! β
Rosan, the front desk of their company, lifted her brown hair in dissatisfaction, gagged her ears, and glared at Leonard with a pout.
"Then you can go to the back." With that, Leonard rolled his eyes, playfully furious, and began to read again, even louder.
"Humph!" Luo Shan gave him a blank look, and then asked, "Do you fight evil?" The kind of two. β
"Okay." Leonard raised an eyebrow, he might not be able to beat Daddy, but he would definitely be able to deal with a girl who didn't dry up.
Then it didn't take long for him to be slapped in the face.
"Right 4. I won. β
Roshan grinned and shook off the last two cards, and Leonard fell into a long silence.
"Crunch-"
The door was pushed open with a dull thud and it was the leader of their Nightwatcher team, Dunn "Nightmare" Smith.
Dunn saw Leonard as soon as he entered the door, but he saved a lot of time and got straight to the point:
"Leonard, come with me to the office."
Although Leonard didn't quite understand, he still carried out the captain's order very firmly: "Yes. β
After entering the office, Dunn didn't sit down, and asked in a heavy tone:
"Leonard, your home is in Daffodil Street, right?"
"Yes, Captain." Leonard couldn't help but feel a little bad when he heard his captain's tone.
"Wait a minute." Dunn took out a stack of materials from under the table, picked up a pen and scribbled on it for a while before handing it to Leonard.
Leonard took it, and what caught his eye was a few big words - "Wanted".
What's going on...... He frowned and continued to read:
Name: Cass Wall
Bounty: 6000 pounds
Note: Very dangerous, good at using firearms. β
On the wanted warrant was a bearded uncle in a green plaid suit.
Dunn said solemnly to Leonard:
"Before, Luo Yao and we met a vicious wild extraordinaire when we were on a mission, and later found out his identity through investigation - 'Faceless' Cass Wall."
"It is said that this person is a strong man in the 'soothsayer' path, and once killed a Sequence 5 substitute punishment alone, and the method was extremely cruel, and the deceased's body was divided into more than a dozen pieces. However, he has been confirmed not to be a member of the Esoteric Order. β
"After a seal, we learned that Kas was still in Tingen, and that it was in the area from DaffodilsstraΓe to Iron Cross."
"Oh yes, wait a minute, you decided to remind me to pick up the seal '3-015'."
Leonard suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and an inexplicable and ominous premonition arose in his heart.
β¦β¦
"Uh-huh...... Uh-huh......"
Flisie, humming an unknown tune, came out of the market with a large bag of ingredients, and was about to go home.
The breeze blows through the trees on the roadside, and the leaves make a rustling sound. The gas street lights were turned on early, but I don't know if they were broken.
"Woo-"
The sound of falling heavy objects rang out from the dimly lit alley, and Floxy couldn't help but look in that direction, but her high inspiration kept warning her, don't go, don't go!
What's going on...... Eventually, Foxie looked at it.
The next moment, she was stunned.
Because, in that alley, there are numb, rotten, and foul-smelling living corpses!
