Chapter 108: Waves
Hugh Dilcha had already been promoted to the rank of "sheriff" in Sequence 8 last month. Thanks to her roommate, Forthth Wall acquired the Sheriff's extraordinary traits from an unknown source.
But it also left Hugh in debt, and in order to make up for the gold pounds that Foirth had advanced for him, Hugh said that he had done his best to complete all kinds of commissions, and it was not difficult for her to adapt to the life of going out early and returning late, and finally being able to go further on the road of extraordinary.
What's more, after being promoted to "sheriff", Hugh has made great strides in apprehension or tracking down suspicious subjects, and she can be keenly aware of abnormal factors, and even directly perceive the hidden dangers of others, and gain additional sense.
Although this ability will be limited to the jurisdiction of the "sheriff", and the effect will be greatly reduced after leaving the familiar area, but for the wanted missions that Hugh has taken over, it is already quite powerful and practical, and most of them are just small fights, not special extraordinaries who can anti-divination and anti-tracking.
That's why, when the recess walked out of the tavern to take a breath after inquiring about the news, he stopped the passer-by who was very similar in height to "Spoon".
However, Hugh was still a little surprised when he heard the female voice coming from under the other party's hood, after all, the other party's attitude in replying was frank and gentle, and the temperament revealed in the words was also incompatible with the people who begged for life in the Eastern District, which made Hugh a little confused.
There was a strange anomaly in this strange lady, and when Hugh didn't pay attention to her, she could keenly sense that there was a hidden element of chaos in this lady. But when Hugh turned his attention to her and accosted her, the strange perception disappeared again, as if it had never existed. Instead, there was a slight intimacy, whether the lady had emanated it intentionally or not, that brought Hugh back to his senses immediately after being briefly affected.
That's all the more abnormal.
Hugh was wary, but ostensibly just showed the portrait of the wanted "spoon", and then planned to say goodbye for a while and ask someone about this strange new resident.
Hugh has a sense of justice, but he is not a hot-blooded fool, and life on the East Side has taught her the need to be cautious about avoiding conflict. If you don't know whether the other party is hostile or not, it's best not to act rashly, if you rashly bump into other wild extraordinaires, the situation will become very embarrassing.
Especially when you can't beat it.
When the two bottles flew out of the room and were caught by the lady, Hugh confirmed this in his heart, and even thanked the drunks inside for helping him test the depth of the other.
Under the pretext of going to mediate the dispute in the tavern, Hugh did not communicate much with the mysterious lady.
Sometimes the more you know, the more you can't get out, it's better to pretend that nothing happened, and Hugh understands this very well.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent on the surface, and he didn't deliberately use that act to make a statement, so he didn't linger at the door of the tavern for long.
But just after pulling the two fist-waving people in the tavern away and reprimanding them severely, Hugh immediately sensed that there was a dispute in the alley next door - this was the special intuition of the "sheriff" for the jurisdiction, and someone was fighting!
Thinking of the mystery of the lady just now, Hugh gritted his teeth and chose to leave the tavern to take a look. At least the other party is not a person who can't communicate on the surface, and Hugh needs to confirm what happened.
But to Hugh's surprise, she had not walked a few steps out of the tavern when the lady walked out of the alley carrying a "rag bag" and was walking towards the tavern.
The lady's hood had fallen off and landed behind her head, revealing a supple blonde hair, and a soft, youthful appearance that matched her voice, but her cheeks were slightly flushed with a hint of disgust and irritation. After seeing Hugh, she even quickened her pace, approached Hugh directly, and threw the unconscious guy in her hand to the ground in front of Hugh.
"That's your goal, right?"
Hugh looked at the man lying on the ground, and when he looked sideways, he could see the man's puffy eye bubbles and two black moles with thin short hairs, which were quite recognizable, and there were several bruises on his face, which were obviously the marks of some kind of hard blow.
"That's him! Why would you ...... "Hugh was a little dazed by the unexpected," did he attack you? ”
"yes, if it weren't for the fact that you're looking for him, I wouldn't have to keep him that way. Today is really an unlucky day, I'm leaving. The woman gritted her teeth, moving her thin, white fingers before pulling up her hood again to cover the good-looking face.
"Thank you!" Hugh was a little happy, listening to the lady's meaning, she just wanted to hurry home, and the man's disposal was all left to herself.
As soon as the lady lifted her steps and stopped, she looked at Hugh hesitantly, and asked very bluntly, "Y-can you move him, right?" ”
Hugh clearly felt that the other party had some kind of misunderstanding because of his height: "...... I can. ”
She had a feeling of being underestimated.
"Also, he won't remember what just happened, and he may wake up with a mess of his memory, which is normal."
The lady waved her hand at Hugh as she said this, and this time she really walked briskly into the shadows of the corner, never looking back.
Hugh vaguely guessed in her heart that this was related to the other party's ability, and she stared thoughtfully at the man on the ground for a few seconds, picking up the corner of his long coat with her foot, revealing the bulging holster underneath.
So she is indeed extraordinary, I am afraid that she is higher than my sequence eight, so that this wanted criminal does not even have a chance to draw a gun and fight back. Or maybe her extraordinary ability is more special, and she can cause instant imprisonment to others, and it cannot be ruled out that she has magical items on her.
But in every way, this lady is likely to be a dangerous person. Hugh judged that he decided to make a few more trips to the neighborhood recently, so as not to have an accident with a few friends who lived here.
Such a dangerous person can easily invite trouble, even if he does not take the initiative to cause trouble.
——
The danger man returned to his rented one-bedroom apartment, hung his cloak and satchel behind the door, and threw himself on the bed.
Because the movements were so casual, the bed wasn't too big, which caused her arm to slam against the wall with a clear muffled sound.
Esther gasped and rubbed hard at the sore spot on the outside of her elbow.
Fortunately, there were no obvious marks on the wall, and it was a very unlucky day.
Xiao Wu was writhing in her pocket and restless, so Esther had to take it out: "You seem to wake up too early." ”
"What the hell did you do before? For a moment I felt like I was on the verge of dying, but because you had strengthened the seal, I couldn't wake up at all, and that state went on and on for a long time. Xiao Wu's voice was cold, and it sounded full of resentment.
Esther shrunk her neck weakly, that was probably the moment when she was stimulated and frightened by the other party and lost her perception of time, although this was not what she wanted, but Xiao Wu's "life" was indeed forcibly bound to her.
"I met an extraordinary person hidden in the shadows, and I don't know what it is."
"You can describe it."
After Esther explained the scene and her own feelings in detail, Xiao Wu quickly had some simple reasoning.
"There is a high probability that the one you encounter is an extraordinary person from the 'Abyss' path."
"The abyss?"
"Also known as 'demons' or 'criminals', at the heart of this extraordinary pathway is malignancy. According to the situation you experienced, the other person is at least the 'Apostle of Desire' in Sequence 5, and has the power to manipulate and intensify the inner emotions and desires of others, so the fear you have at that moment will be infinitely magnified. ”
"Wait a minute!" Esther sat at the head of the bed, put Xiao Wu on the pillow, quickly took out her notes, and wrote such a long explanation.
Xiao Wu was amused by her behavior: "You can completely remember it in your head, isn't it more convenient than this book?" ”
Esther also showed helplessness: "I can't help it, but I'm like this, if I don't anticipate it in advance, things made by intuition will be very chaotic." ”
"I see, your 'thinking' and 'intuition' are separated......
Hearing the contemplation in Xiao Wu's words, Esther pointed to her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think this has anything to do with that?" ”
"How do I know?" Xiao Wu decisively didn't answer, "Then how did you escape from him later?" The demon doesn't have any compassion, and the other party actually let you go with such a good opportunity? ”
"That's probably why you've been over-influenced," Esther frowned frustratedly as she stared at the piece of information written down in her notebook, "and the Spots of Light rioted, and though they weren't very conspicuous, they were all suspended in my hair. ”
"It seems that the other party was scared away by the 'he' on you, and it even worked by mistake." The Apostle of Desire' also had the ability to perceive malice, and he sensed the great threat that those lights might pose to him, so he withdrew decisively. ”
Esther rubbed two strands of bangs, and a few points of light flew down, blankly dancing around her fingers.
"Seriously, I don't like the feeling of being a sojourn, it makes me feel like I'm just ...... A hollowed-out tree. ”
"The hive is more appropriate."
"Thank you so much." Esther lowered her fingers, and the few blank dots of light immediately returned to her hair, "Is it just that they can exert such a great suppressive power on that demon?" ”
"Maybe it's not because of the power they contain, but when the light points move in large numbers, they pry the 'subject' in your mind, so that its breath escapes."
"This kind of point of light is also considered a clone?"
Xiao Wu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but you can think so." But they don't show the ability to think clearly, they only have the instinct to follow you and your 'spiritual intuition'. ”
"If I disagree with my 'intuition,' they are out of my control."
Esther lamented, having no doubt about that.
