Chapter 81 [Jealousy] and [Psychological Incognito] Today's update is a 5,300-word chapter
Lily, who was rejected by Luke, was not too frustrated, after all, how could it be possible to hear a stranger say a few words and make a decision on such a major event that would determine the future path.
She brushed her hair behind her ears and invited warmly: "I'll take you to sign up first, the practicing wizard is still a shaman, you can think slowly later." ”
The main body of the school is not in the town, but in the jungle behind the town.
Driving through a fairly wide forest road, in less than ten minutes, a huge building came into view.
The building consists of several pyramidal towers, the tallest of which is ten floors tall and towers majestically over the heart of the school.
The façade of the tower is made of pure white marble, and the ornate decoration and carvings make one involuntarily think of the castles of ancient magicians.
At the top of the tower, there is a large oval-shaped red crystal, which looks like a solid flame at a glance.
Luke looked at it with his ability to identify, but didn't find anything, and it looked like there should be some kind of protection near the crystal.
Seeing that he noticed the crystal, Lily introduced, "It's called the Heart of Fire, and it's the treasure of the Flame School. I heard that during the time when the transcendent was severed, the mages of the Flame School were able to use it to cast some simple spells, so it can be passed down to the present. However, we generally call it a phoenix egg, you see, is it particularly like an enlarged version of a bird's egg? ”
Luke glanced at the crystal again, it did look a bit like it, and he nodded in approval.
According to Lily, those who come to the "Flame School" training class have a chance to get up close and personal with the heart of fire before graduation, and many people will get some special insights about fire.
She has a complete inheritance herself, and the reason why she left the tribe and came here is to graduate this time.
Lily seemed to be familiar with this place, and led Luke through the formalities with ease, and after paying the tuition fee of up to 150,000 dollars, he looked at the ornate decoration of the tower and began to feel distressed.
His college tuition fee is only $20,000 a year, which also includes accommodation and books.
The short-term training course of the "Flame School" lasted only three months.
On the first day of the class, we will focus on a class to explain the basics.
After that, you can come and go freely, and go directly to the teacher for guidance according to your progress.
After all, there are only 20 people in a training class, and the number of students is not as large as that of teachers, and some students are pure whites, while others are industry insiders, and the progress is different, so the teaching mode is a bit similar to the feeling of gym personal training.
A week after the official start of the class, Luke finished the formalities, said goodbye to Lily, and drove away.
——
The days without blame are very boring.
Luke also wanted to go over and farm a few waves of vampires, but the few vampires in Phoenix had been swept away by the enraged police system, and most of the rest shrank back to the base camp of Nivaldo.
The collusion between the officials and the vampires is very serious, and if Luke goes to trouble them, he is afraid that he will be wanted by the police if he doesn't get in and fight a few wild monsters.
That is, the various states and even cities of the Lighthouse Country are not very closely related, otherwise the police in Nivaldo City might have crossed the city to detain Luke.
Candyman's follow-up investigation doesn't have much clue, only Dast and Yaska are still following up, and Amisha is going to investigate the previous disappearance of the securities company's employees.
A new twist has now emerged in that case, one of their key customers and partners named Paul has recently disappeared, and the police are planning to deal with two disappearances together.
Bored, Luke decides to go to the police station to ask if there are any clues about the monsters, and is ready to make another cameo appearance as a brave citizen.
After arriving at the police station, he first went to Amisha's office for a walk, but when no one was there, a passing officer told him that Amisha was now discussing the case in the conference room.
As a special adviser to the police department, he was able to sit in on most of the cases that were not particularly sensitive, so he let the officer lead him over.
In the conference room, Amisha was discussing the case with several police officers.
Seeing Luke come in, she nodded and motioned for Luke to find a place to sit on his own and continue the discussion.
After listening for a while, Luke roughly understood the current situation.
A veteran black police officer named William, who handled the disappearance of P&P Securities employee Farhad, insisted that Patrick, who had been questioned at the police station, was very suspicious, and suggested that he be detained directly or apply for a search warrant to go to his home for examination.
Amisha also supported his opinion.
However, a few middle-aged policemen who looked a little more slick stressed that according to the clues they have so far, some witnesses claim to have seen a homeless man follow Paul, and this clue should be used as the main starting point for the current follow-up.
And, it seems, they don't want to offend P&P Securities, and they say that Patrick is the only son of the founder of this sizable company, and his father has some energy in the city.
Taking action against him without evidence would lead to a passive police situation.
As he spoke, the door to the conference room opened again, and it was Sergeant Joseph.
Luke noticed that he had shaved all the hair he was proud of, and he looked much more fierce.
As soon as Joseph came in, the people in the meeting looked at him and smiled, and it seemed that his popularity in the police station was indeed not very good.
One of the people he often mocked said, "Joseph, is your hair gone?" ”
He didn't answer, but said to the black sheriff Albrien, "There's a new case, let's get out." ”
I took out a few more on-site inspection sheets.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the man deliberately shouted again, "You can't be kidney deficient, right?"
Joseph's eyes widened and he said, "How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air......"
"What innocence? I saw your hair fall out last week, and when you took off your hat, your hair fell down in strands. ”
Joseph's face turned red, and the green veins on his forehead burst out, and he argued, "I shaved my own head...... Macho men are all shaved! If you shave yourself, can it be considered hair loss?"
One after another, it was difficult to understand, what a "real man", what a "macho man" and the like, which caused everyone to laugh.
The meeting room was filled with a cheerful air.
Albrine was a good man, and when he saw Joseph embarrassed and homeless, he got up and walked out with him.
After Joseph's lively atmosphere, everyone was much happier and finally decided to go their separate ways.
The middle-aged police officers went to investigate the homeless people in the vicinity of P&P.
As for Patrick, instead of taking any measures, Amisha and Morgan will go to the P&P company to talk to him, and then ask about the situation to see if there is anything new to discover.
At the end of the meeting, Amisha brought the old policeman Morgan to Luke and introduced him: "Deputy Sergeant William, who has been a police officer for more than 40 years, is the oldest and most experienced senior in our police department, and he will retire in two months. ”
As soon as the words fell, William stretched out his hand with a smile, and Luke shook his hand and introduced himself: "Luke, just served as a police advisor. ”
Morgan responded, "Of course I know you, possessor of magical supernatural abilities. I've heard about the werewolf case before, and old guys like me really envy you young and promising young guys. ”
Luke smiled modestly and said, "Where, we are just about to learn from an experienced senior like you." ”
Amitha waved her hand between the two of them, "Alright, the greeting time is over, and we're going to investigate Patrick." ”
Luke remembered Patrick, the stockbroker, who volunteered, "I'll go with him." ”
Amisha looked at him and said, "What are you doing with you?" You don't know how to interrogate and search. ”
Luke smiled mysteriously, and the "hypnotic charm" that Dusty had given him before he took it out of his pocket lit up.
Amisha is very eager to tell Luke that it is immoral to abuse supernatural abilities against ordinary people.
But the crisp scene of the last interrogation of the gang leader seemed to be repeated before her eyes.
Human nature is like this, once you have opened it, it is difficult to refuse to open it a few more times.
She thought twice and said, "Okay, you can come along, but don't use hypnotic charms lightly. At least don't use it until I'm done with William. ”
The three of them each drove to P&P.
Upon entering the building, the front desk agent directed them to Patrick's assistant's office, where Amisha informed his assistant of what they were looking for.
Patrick was reveling in the sound of singing in his headphones when the assistant opened the door and entered.
He asked unhappily, "What's the matter?" ”
The assistant has been disgusted many times recently, and said a little timidly: "There are a few policemen outside who want to see you." ”
Patrick took off his headphones and slid the seat back.
"Tell them I'm going for lunch."
The assistant was a little helpless, "Patrick, it's only half past ten, I think they know you're here." ”
He frowned, "Let them in." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the phone at hand and pretended to be on the phone with someone.
The three of them came in, and Patrick was talking hotly into the phone.
"Friend, it's important to wear a thick striped shirt, and he must wear a dark or well-patterned suit and tie."
He smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to the three of them, and said into the microphone, "Listen, I'm going to hang up, there's something going on here." ”
Then he hung up.
Luke pulled up a stool and sat down, Amisha and Luke had met Patrick before.
William had met him many times and was greeting him warmly.
Luke took the opportunity to whisper in Amisha's ear in a faint voice, "There is something wrong with him, the call is fake, there is no sound on the other end of the phone." ”
William and Amisha then asked Paul and Farhad about Patrick's whereabouts at the time of Farhad's disappearance, whether there was an alibi, and how they were related.
Patrick answered all the questions fluently, without a single flaw.
Seeing that progress was difficult, Luke ran out of patience.
He even went up to summon the monster directly, and at this time, how could he deal with an ordinary person according to the rules.
He winked at Amisha and quietly pulled out the "hypnotic charm" from his pants pocket.
Little by little, the psionic energy poured into it, and a faint wave emanated from the spell and spread towards Patrick.
William, who was questioning on the side, also paused slightly and remained silent.
As Luke continued to increase the magnitude of his psionic infusion, the hypnotic spell was gradually pushed to its maximum.
Patrick frowned and yawned, as if he was a little sleepy, but showed no signs of being hypnotized at all.
Luke increased his psionic infusion again, but the hypnotic spell seemed to have reached its limit and had no effect.
This. It can't be pirated, right?
Dust gave me a spell that ran out?
But there are familiar fluctuations.
But why does hypnosis keep failing?
"Hypnotic charms" only have this kind of useless performance when dealing with transcendent people.
Patrick is obviously an ordinary person.
He was indeed an ordinary person.
Luke began to feel that something was wrong, and he always felt that he had neglected something.
Seeing that he didn't act, Amisha on the side thought that the spell hadn't started to be used yet, so she picked up William's words and continued to interrogate.
A glimmer of inspiration flashed through Luke's brain, but he couldn't catch it, as if a thought had been ignored and never came to mind.
An irritable Luke uses some of his psionic energy in his brain to try to develop his brain's potential in this way, helping him to think of that crucial question.
With a large amount of cool psionic energy stirring through his mind, he finally thought of it.
"I've never used identification skills on Patrick, so why would I be so decisive that he is an ordinary person?"
A thought cleaved his brain like lightning.
Luke remained silent, using his forensic powers to look at Patrick.
There is a reaction, not an ordinary person.
[Patrick] / [Jealousy]
Mortals who have been corrupted by envy of original sin have gained superhuman power through original sin.
【Skills】
[Jealousy]: Arouse the jealousy in people's hearts, so that they hate each other to the greatest extent.
[Psychological Invisibility] Active Effect: Activate the skill to make yourself equivalent to "non-existent" in the eyes of the humans around you.
Passive Effect: Conceals the presence of his own transcendent aura and is defaulted to being an ordinary person.
[Emotional Absorption] (Disabled): You can absorb jealousy of yourself and use it to strengthen your abilities.
Looking at the last [Emotional Absorption], Luke complained in his heart: Fortunately, it's a crippled skill, otherwise I would have thought that this is a system that has awakened and absorbed negative emotions, and it is even more like the protagonist than me.
After the identification, he finally knew why he had subconsciously ignored the reason why Patrick had extraordinary abilities.
【Psychological Incognito】
Hiss~ What a good skill
In other words, there should be no surveillance in the bathhouse.
Dirty!
Luke slapped himself hard in the heart.
Patrick in front of him doesn't look too strong in combat, he looks like a mage.
Although I didn't bring the [Death Roar] and [Funeral Crow] weapons, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak attack at close range.
As for the issue of enforcement power and subsequent interpretation.
Whatever, let's talk about it after killing him.
That's it!
A few threads of psionic silk trembled slightly in Luke's mind, and Halpier and the five crows moved.
Halpierre swooped down, smashing the window of Luke Ford's car with a thud, and the probe lifted the special package containing the two weapons and soared into the sky, leaving the nearby crowd of dumbfounded onlookers staring blankly into the sky.
As for why the movement is so big, it's not a blur in and out.
Because the blurring ability is only aimed at itself, and cannot blur other foreign objects that it touches together, even if it can get into the car and get the package, it can't be blurred and brought out.
Five crows flew with Halpier to Luke's floor.
Luke, who was directly facing the building, saw that the crows had flown in, and with his hands on his feet, he stood up sharply, kicking over the desk in front of him, and his fists were covered with silver-white lightning arcs.
Thunder is used first to hit the monomer, and fire is used first to hit the range, so it's always right.
Eat me a move - Thunder Light Fist!
Luke silently said in his heart↓→↓→· A
He can still play a few moves with a stick and a hammer, and he really has no experience in fighting the enemy empty-handed, only relying on the combat experience he learned from the scalp of the Indian warriors, he intuitively punches the king of the king, imagining that he was possessed by the second-order Hongtang Pill in the King of Fighters, and instantly hit the explosive damage.
Patrick was caught off guard, he didn't expect that he had a good conversation just now, why did he suddenly flip the table and start fighting?
He obviously didn't know that Luke not only raised many crows, but also held the [Funeral Crow] staff, which was called Brother Crow by the people of the rivers and lakes, and it was common to lift the table without saying a word.
The fists containing the power of thunder rained down, although because there was no weapon, the power of thunder was weakened to a certain extent, but the power value of the 8-point muscle strength effect brought by [Innate Divine Power] still made him press Patrick and beat him wildly.
Patrick was punched several times in the chest and skull, his ribs were scorched and blackened, and a large mouthful of blood spit out, forcibly activated [Psychological Invisibility], and disappeared.
At the same moment, Halpierre was already slamming into the exterior glass.
With a "bang", the glass shattered, and Halpierre thoughtfully threw the bag into Luke's outstretched hand.
Patrick, who disappeared from the eyes of the three Lukes, quietly moved and activated the [Jealousy] skill, making Luke and the other two hate each other.
A wave of mental fluctuation engulfed the entire office.
Luke suddenly looked at Amisha and William in front of him unpleasantly, why she/he.
He thought about it, grass, there is nothing to be jealous of.
The high amount of soul strength allowed Luke to instantly remove the influence of [Jealousy].
But Amisha and William didn't have the skills he had, and they pulled out their pistols, aimed them at Luke, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
[Spider Sense] beats in the brain, and Luke activates [Shapeshift], swaps places with a crow, dodges the attack, and disappears from the sight of Amisha and William.
Patrick had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape from the office, and the loud noise caused confusion in the P&P company, and Luke, who tried to find Patrick's location through the sound, listened to it for a long time, but couldn't find his location for a while.
While they were in distress, the two crows had already pounced towards a blank and uninhabited place, and as the crows pounced, streams of blood appeared out of thin air in the blank space.
Oh! Over here!
[Psychological Stealth] can only target humans with sound minds, but it has no effect on these crows.
Patrick was seriously injured by Luke's "Thunder Light Fist", and ordinary people would have been standing on the spot a long time ago, and he also absorbed a lot of jealousy in his daily showing off through [Emotional Absorption], and strengthened his physical fitness, so that he could barely drag his seriously injured body to escape, and he couldn't run fast at all.
Now that Luke had discovered his location, ignoring the surprised gazes of the employees in the P&P company, he pulled out the [Funeral Crow], rushed forward, and slammed it towards the empty space where the crow attacked.
The muffled sound of hitting the flesh sounded.
Although you can't see it, the feel is always not deceiving.
Luke continued to tap.
Patrick's headphones had fallen off, and the sound of singing on the radio was starting to play out.
“
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
I like my bands in business suits
I watch them on TV
”
This song is so familiar.
To the beat of the drums, Luke holds the stick in both hands and swings it vigorously.
A tattered body emerges from the air.
When a person dies, the effect of the skill disappears naturally.
The emergence of capable seedlings is a testament to Luke's view.
XP, get!
After writing 4000 words, I found that I was stuck in Patrick's place, so it was very uncomfortable to be out of context, so I just dotted it more and sent it out in one go.
Peacock from one o'clock in the morning.
And also... Spit a little.。。。 Now the authors have become the title party, so I really don't blame the authors.
I think the 79 chapters are written with a unique feeling.,As a result, the title is not interesting.You just don't read it.79 chapters are more than 100 less than 80 chapters.
Now that I have climbed from the 4,000-character Great Perfection realm to the half-step 5,000-character realm, it is not impossible for me to reach the 6,000-character early stage in the future when I cultivate and cultivate.
Above, love you guys.
