Chapter 184: Team
“6! Another lady killed! The murderer has no scruples! ”
The glow of a gaslamp illuminated the bold lettering on the front page of the Daily Observer.
Since the fourth victim, every time a new victim appears, they report in the form of a subheadline count, which exaggerates the brutality of the murderer and the powerlessness of the police.
A finger slid calmly across the bold line, and finally returned to the beginning and clicked a few times on the number "6".
The finger quickly stopped, but its owner continued
As before, the targets were all women, all dressed in bright dresses, and all of them had their internal organs removed by caesarean section, and they were all given eucalyptus every three days...... The description reminded him of the serial killer who caused a sensation in the city of Tingen sixteen years ago.
That's right, it's eucalyptus with obvious signs of demonic worship.
Dunn, who had simply adjusted his image, sat on the couch in front of the fireplace and had a preliminary judgment about the recent serial killers.
This murderer's sequence level should be higher than that "serial killer", so ...... Is it Sequence 6? What would be the name of his sequence? Well, even that "serial killer" can create effective interference with divination and channeling, and this murderer with a higher sequence than him is obviously better at this, no wonder he hasn't broken it yet.
Jingle bell, ding bell.
The doorbell rang.
Dunn looked up from the newspaper and saw through the window the dark, gloomy evening sky of Beckland.
The weather in Tingen is much better than that...... With this in mind, he got up and walked to the door, twisted the handle, and opened the door.
There were three people standing outside the door, one woman and two men.
"Captain Dunn, we're here."
With a crisp sound, the woman standing in the middle took off her white gauze hat with a golden ribbon on her head, revealing a slightly freckled face with a unique neutral temperament.
Short-haired, blue, child-colored, and burgundy, it was Lydia, the "singer" who acted with him when he was in Tingen? Wallace.
The familiar title of "Captain" made Dunn's dark gray eyes shudder slightly.
"Well, come in." He nodded slightly, and at the same time leaned sideways to get out of the way of the door.
Dunn's gaze swept over the three men who entered the door in turn, from Lydia to Harold, and finally to Ademisor.
Although it was a little difficult, he still found a familiar image from his memory that almost overlapped with the young man in front of him-
"Monster" Ademisor.
It turns out that he disappeared because he followed Valeera...... It seems that he is now a real "monster...... Seeing that the black hair had become neat, and there was no longer that kind of young man who was half sleepwalking and half crazy, several thoughts flashed through Dunn's heart.
Soon, several people sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Since we're here, we'll be companions from now on."
Dunn spoke first, and continued after careful remarks:
"You should know that Valilla asked you to follow me in the hope that I would take on the role of an instructor and help you grow further."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and looked at the expressions of the three of them.
Harold and Ademisore both nodded in response to his gaze, and Lydia nodded again and again, looking excited.
"Since we are companions, we should trust each other."
Seeing that they were very cooperative, Dunn nodded slightly and continued:
"Let's start by introducing ourselves.
"I'm Dunn Smith, the 'Dream Demon' of Sequence 7, and I have a lot of experience in the transcendent world, and I also have experience leading a team."
His introduction to himself was very simple, and he could even be called a model lake, and he didn't say a word about his experience in the "Night Watch" team.
"I don't need to," Lydia smiled.
She added:
"Don't be too modest, captain, I told them about the experience of the operation with you."
When she was in Tingen, she followed Dunn and successively investigated the surrounding residents of the "Black Thorn Security Company" and a series of related people in the "Red Chimney House", and had a high sense of identification with Dunn.
In fact, even if Dunn didn't mention it, they could probably guess that Dunn was from an official extraordinary.
But what does it matter, it's not anymore anyway.
Because of Valeera's relationship, they know the mainstream attitude of the official extraordinary towards the wild extraordinary, but at the same time, they can also understand the official practice of protecting more ordinary people, and will not be too hostile to the official extraordinary.
"Harold Joestar, Sequence 9 'Criminal', was a former police officer, the very good kind."
Harold spoke after Lydia, and added with a smile:
"I'm not boasting, I almost got promoted to sergeant."
Although he hasn't summed up the appropriate rules for playing, he has somewhat digested a small part of the potion, and the mental compulsion state of resisting the desire to commit a crime has also been alleviated to a great extent, and now he has taken off the mask and made himself again, his mind is more relaxed than before, and he is still in the mood to make a little joke.
"'Monster' Ademisor."
Ademisol reported the sequence and name, and also alluded to his past experiences.
He said it on purpose.
From Lydia's relays, it was not difficult for him to guess that Dunn had been an official Extraordinaire in Tingen before, and perhaps knew his own business.
"In Sequence 9, I'm highly inspired, and everything else is average." He added another note.
With that, he also turned his gaze to Dunn, who was sitting on the single sofa.
Dunn thought for a moment, looked at Harold first, and said:
"Since you are a good policeman, your marksmanship and fighting skills should be very good.
"According to the standards I used to lead the team, you are a qualified new team member, and you can start to contact the field."
Then, Dunn looked at Ademisol again:
"Your current position in the team should be support, similar to that of a 'soothsayer', but you also need to practice fighting and marksmanship to increase your self-protection ability.
"You can do divination, right?"
"Almost," Ademisor nodded, "I can see a certain revelation in meditation." ”
Dunn bowed slightly, and finally looked at Lydia:
"You're also considered a support, and it's best to practice martial arts and marksmanship.
"Considering that you may not have enough strength for the time being, you can start by just working on reflexes and dodging skills."
After a brief evaluation, Dunn picked up the newspaper next to him, displayed the headline on the front page, and said:
"The murderer of this serial killer is supposed to be a Sequence 6 extraordinary.
"Generally speaking, if we are a tacit team, there is a chance to catch him.
"Below the high sequence, the extraordinary abilities of different pathways are matched with each other, even if there is only a low sequence, as long as it is reasonable, it will have a strong effect.
"That's the power of the team."
The Daily Observer went round and round in the hands of the four of them, and finally returned to Dunn's hands.
After a period of conversation, the sense of estrangement between them disappeared a lot, and they all agreed and accepted Dunn's leadership, and the four-person team faintly took shape.
Lydia also gave the team a name-
"Invisible Guardian".
"Well, the tacit understanding of the team is not cultivated in a day, and it is enough to talk about it today."
Dunn looked at the three team members in front of him, and Tong Kong lost focus slightly.
He pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed upstairs, and continued:
"There are four more empty bedrooms upstairs, you can take your luggage and choose for yourself, I won't go up.
"Once we're settled, we'll go out for dinner."
The three of them agreed happily, went upstairs one after another, and after negotiating a few words, they each chose a room.
