Chapter 50: Psychic
Lewis ran away, and although it was not good for the opponent to use the gun in a crowded area, it was also not conducive to his use of supernatural abilities.
At present, he still doesn't understand whether the other party is a transcendent or not, if the other party is really an extraordinary, then today's battle is destined to not be easy.
"Fate!" As he ran, Lewis used a lucky charm, he quickly leaned down, picked up a pebble from the ground, threw it at the other party, and continued to run.
"No!"
Suddenly, Lewis heard a roar from the other party, and he looked back to see that the chaser was long gone, and there were only pedestrians and an unsealed sewer entrance on the road.
"What's the situation? Is this luck? Lewis spread his hands, and he left the neighborhood a little boredly, the method of fighting by the Fate Path is indeed peculiar, and the opponent always makes mistakes without realizing it, and even disappears casually.
Of course, the disappearance of the gunman didn't hurt Lewis, saving him hands-on time and not putting his identity at risk.
What's more, he doesn't know if the other party has accomplices, and if this can solve the problem, then it would be even better.
Far from the center of Eros, the streets are sparsely populated, and only the sparse gas lamps on the side of the road are still on, making it look extremely deserted.
Lewis's inspiration was suddenly struck, and he looked behind him to see a stray dog with a wallet in his mouth watching him from a short distance, and the stray dog's eyes reflected the crimson moonlight.
Seeing the banknote-like traces in his wallet, Lewis had an idea, and he whistled.
"......" The dirty hound let out a vigilant bark, and as it opened its mouth, the purse fell to the ground.
Lewis walked over and picked up the purse, and the stray dog had already run away with his tail between his legs, making a vigilant bark as he ran.
Opening the wallet, Lewis saw two ten-pound bills and some change in the wallet, as well as a crumpled certificate of all-of-gun ownership.
"This should be the wallet of the gunman, and if you can pick up this money, it should be a gift of fate after using the lucky charm just now?" Thinking of this, Lewis tapped four times on his chest, and after praising the goddess, he accepted the money and threw the wallet to the stray dog again.
……
In the sewer not far from the Eros Center, a stocky middle-aged man looked at the sewer exit above his head and fell into deep thought, the exit was three meters above his head, but he couldn't get out due to the lack of climbing items.
"Damn! I don't know which fool threw a stone and caused me to be smashed when I jumped over the well. "The middle-aged man can only choose to move forward, and hope to find another exit.
After walking for about ten minutes, the middle-aged man saw a lot of green herbs in the sewer, which had obviously been cultivated.
The little change gave him confidence and convinced him that there must be another exit nearby, and he continued on until he saw a crimson moonlight shining down in the distance.
The middle-aged man hurried towards the moonlight, and he noticed the stairs leading to the ground, but he didn't notice the scarlet eyes that opened in the darkness.
……
After taking the money and watching his wallet being snatched by the stray dog, Lewis smiled with relief, so that his battle with the gunman would not leave a trace.
Walking all the way back to the Oort Street Detective Agency, Lewis suddenly flashed a picture of the future: just before he opened the door of the detective agency and was about to walk in, a bullet suddenly flew out of the shadow behind the right.
Lewis remained calm, and just as the door to the detective agency was about to open, he decisively used a tumbling to break into the house.
Suddenly, there was a very low gunshot, which hit exactly where Lewis had been standing and sinked into the ground.
Obviously, the person who fired the gun must have attached something like a silencer to the muzzle, which makes the sound of the gun not obvious.
Lewis hid in the corner, trying to think about the situation today, thinking about who was going to kill him.
Obviously, the person who chased him should have nothing to do with Cherry, and if the gang chasing Cherie wanted to kill him, the middle-aged man had already drawn his gun in front of the Eros Center.
Of course, it is also possible that the strength of this gang is not too strong and does not dare to act blatantly.
"Damn it!"
While Lewis was hesitating, a thin man in a black shirt had rushed into the detective agency, with a machete in his hand and muscles bulging in his arm, even visible veins under his skin.
"Fate!" Lewis cast a spell, and he rolled to the side, dodging the machete's attack.
The man in the black shirt immediately changed the horizontal slash to the vertical slash and slashed at Lewis's waist.
Lewis stepped forward, taking advantage of the gap between the machetes, he pinched the opponent's wrist, and then used his elbow to hit the opponent's Adam's apple.
Even though he was moving fast enough, his clothes were torn.
The man in black let out a muffled grunt, and with a flick of his left hand, a dagger fell from the cuff into the palm of his hand. With a sudden force of his left hand, the dagger shot out at close range, stabbing Lewis in the head.
Lewis hurriedly rolled backwards to avoid the dagger, and he was lucky to find that it had bounced off the wall and landed right in his hands.
Armed with a tool that could be used, Lewis suddenly slammed the dagger into the opponent's throat.
The man in black had bloodshot eyes, and he tried to breathe heavily, but all he could do was make a "ho-ho" sound, and finally fell to the ground.
The tense battle made Lewis's nerves tense to the extreme, and it wasn't until the other party finally collapsed that he thought about what to do next.
Now, there are only three ways in front of him, one is to call the police, the other is to destroy the corpse, and the last one is to abscond in fear of crime.
Of course, how to do it specifically, you have to wait until the psychic can make a decision, and only after confirming the identity of the other party can he make a more reasonable choice.
Ready with candles, essential oils, and night powder, Lewis set up the altar and prayed to the goddess of the night.
The completion of this ritual was not easy, but fortunately, Lewis had already mastered a lot of ritual magic, which made it so smooth.
"I pray for the power of the night;
I pray for the power of Crimson;
I pray for the Goddess's favor;
Pray that I will be able to communicate spiritually with the deceased inside the altar. ”
……
As the incantation was finished, Lewis suddenly felt a majestic, secret power descending, and his eyes turned completely black.
Immediately, Lewis saw a transparent, illusory figure float out of the corpse.
