Chapter 19: A Failed Night Raid

An hour ago –

The two-wheeled carriage of the "Night Watchman" runs through the quiet streets of the eastern district of Tingen.

Because he was fighting against the extraordinary, Dunn Smith did not let Cizer, who usually drove the carriage, follow the team, but let Frye sit in the driver's seat, and he sat in the carriage with Loyo Leiding and Siga Teang, taking turns holding the seal to disperse its negative effects.

2-105, "The Vascular Thief", is the name of the seal. The "2" in the code name means that this is a level 2 seal, dangerous, and needs to be used carefully and sparingly, the secrecy level is the bishop and the leader of the night watchman team and above, the "night watchman" in Tingen City only has three seals of this level, and to deal with Mrs. Sharon, this "vascular thief" is the most suitable.

It looks like a thick, rigid blood vessel, which gives the wearer a chance to steal one of the target's abilities, even a high-order powerhouse has a chance to be hit, and it is used by Sequence 8 "Midnight Poet" Siga Teang, stealing Lady Sharron's stealth ability in Sequence 7 or Sequence 6, and there is a high probability of success. Once the steal is successful, Lady Sharon will lose this ability within ten minutes, and the wielder of the "Vascular Thief" will be able to use it as if it had been trained for a long time, and the "Midnight Poet", who has strong melee abilities and can also become invisible, will become a difficult opponent for Lady Sharon to solve.

Of course, the other side of the seal's powerful power must correspond to the equally dangerous negative effect, whether or not gloves or other protection are worn, those who touch it will gradually steal their lives. It's not obvious at first, but if you don't disengage from contact all the time, after half an hour, there will be a corresponding external manifestation, even if it's close to the demigod Sequence 5, it can't support two hours of continuous contact.

However, under the repeated use test by the church, as long as there are three or more holders, the negative effects can be greatly reduced.

In the carriage, several people took turns holding this thick blood vessel, each holding it for three minutes, and then handing it to the other.

Under such a rotational exchange, even Sequence 9 will not have enough fatigue to affect the battle for two hours, let alone the manifestations of aging reflected in the body.

Dunn took the "vascular thief" handed by Luo Yao, even if he was wearing gloves, his hand that touched the seal felt his skin numb, and there seemed to be a faint electric current flowing all over his body, but it was not obvious, and it was almost impossible to detect if he didn't feel it carefully.

He looked out the window, on the dark road, the gas lamps were constantly moving backwards, compared to the noisy and chaotic docks, the lively but orderly North District, the eastern part of Tingen City seemed quiet and quiet, where Tingen's wealthy businessmen and dignitaries lived, most of them villas with gardens, the population density was low, but the status was not low at all.

Bypass the intersection in front of you and you'll arrive at Olsna Street......

Dunn knocked on the movable partition behind him, and the deep voice of Frye in the car came: "Captain, what's the matter?" ”

"Stop at the intersection and don't get too close to the target."

"Understood."

At Frye's "call", the horse pulling the cart meekly stopped, and the two-wheeled carriage stopped at the corner of the crossroads.

Dunn was the first to step out of the carriage and observe Orsna Street by the dim gas light. Luo Yao and Siga also got out of the car one after another, and Frye saw that there was no one around, so he tied the horse rope to the lamppost next to him.

Not far from them was Mrs. Sharon's house, a small two-story building hidden in the garden.

According to the plan, Dunn Smith should first pull Mrs. Sharon into a dream through the "Nightmare" ability, even if she is not sleeping at this time, "Nightmare" will make her unsuspecting doze off and fall asleep quickly, just like coaxing a baby to sleep. If there were other servants in the house, Dunn would have been able to put these ordinary people into a deep sleep quickly, thus avoiding drawing them into battle.

Once Dunn succeeds, the rest of the "Night Watchmen" will quickly enter the residence and go to Lady Sharon's location, either to capture or kill, depending on the situation on the scene.

Or is it better to kill it...... Dunn Smith thought to himself.

With similar strength, or even weaker strength than the other party, it is unrealistic to delusionally capture an experienced extraordinary person alive. For the extraordinary, tying up hands and feet is not a difficult trouble to solve, and it is possible to fight back even when unconscious, once you have a fluke mentality and try to capture Mrs. Sharon alive, it is likely that she will use her unknown abilities to escape, and even fight back to kill her teammates present.

This is also the reason why he is reluctant to let Dai Li come with him, even if Dai Li has expressed his willingness to follow the battle many times, he decisively refused the other party, so that when the battle meeting was held, Dai Li's mood has been a little low.

Dunn looked around at the team members, and Frye, Luo Yao, and Siga all looked at him, waiting for his instructions.

Your teammates trust you so much, you must protect them......

Shaking off some confusion of thoughts, he handed the "vascular thief" that he had been holding in his hand for three minutes to Fry, and whispered, "Get ready to act." ”

The night watchmen nodded in unison, indicating understanding.

Dunn sat hunched over the pedals by the carriage door, clasped his hands and closed his eyes, and the night seemed to darken all around him.

This is his extraordinary ability to use the "Nightmare", which is within a valid range of 100 meters, and it only takes a little time, an undisturbed foreshadowing, to make the target fall into a deep sleep and enter the dream set for him by the "Nightmare".

The other three Night Watchmen stood by and waited patiently, and in their experience, in about five minutes or so, the captain would be able to quietly pull an Extraordinary into a dream, and then he would bring one of his teammates into the dream, signaling that they could start attacking.

This is also the biggest limitation of the "Nightmare" ability, pulling an extraordinary person with similar strength into the dream, he will inevitably need to dream, if the "Nightmare" interrupts the dream and wakes up, the target will also wake up, and thus obtain a spiritual warning.

But this time, in less than a minute, Dunn Smith opened his eyes and stood up in the surprised gazes of several people.

Facing the puzzled gaze of his teammates, Dunn also looked strange, and he frowned and explained: "There are only two maids in the house, both of them are ordinary people, I have put them to sleep, but Mrs. Sharon is not at home. I inquired about the servant in my dream, and she had hurried out half an hour earlier. ”

"Could it be that Mrs. Granger is lying, that Mrs. Sharon didn't invite her here tonight?"

With black hair and blue eyes and slender eyebrows, Luo Yao Leiding's first reaction was that they had been deceived by the so-called whistleblower, Angel Granger.

"Probably not, in my dreams, and Dali using the 'wine glass that spits the truth', if she lies, it is unlikely that she will escape the test of the two of us." Dunn vetoed the possibility.

"So Mrs. Sharon has something to do with it? It could be a dinner party for a dignitary, or an invitation from a lover, after all, it's the busiest weekend night in the social world. Siga Teang, a white-haired lady who is adept at conceiving the plot of a novel, suggests another possibility.

There is some truth to that...... When Dunn heard this, he felt that with Mrs. Sharron's status in the city of Tingen, it was not unlikely, that she would be temporarily invited to participate in the "activities" of some dignitaries.

So what now?

Several eyes were focused on the face of captain Dunn Smith.

Dunn's gloved right hand rubbed his sideburns and fell into deep thought.

……

"I said, I'm here, why don't you just go back empty-handed?"

The men helped each other climb over the fence, climbed up to the balcony from the back of the building, and entered Mrs. Sharon's house from the second floor, and Siga whispered as she pulled Frye, the only of the four who was not part of the "Sleepless" path, onto the balcony.

"You speak like a thief breaking through the door." Luo Yao climbed up to the second floor after Frye and whispered back.

Knowing that Mrs. Sharon was not at home and that the servants were asleep, the four night watchmen did not hide their figures, but strode forward as if they were at home. According to the information obtained by asking the servant in the dream, Dunn took the lead and went straight to the door of Mrs. Sharon's bedroom.

Glancing left and right, his teammates around him were ready, and he twisted the doorknob and opened the bedroom door.

The bedroom curtains were closed, but the gas lamps were not turned off, and under the light, the bedroom was decorated with extraordinary luxury, which did not match the appearance of the simple building at all. In the center of the space is a large bed, with velvet bedding stacked messily on one side, a dressing table by the wall with all kinds of cosmetics, jewelry boxes open to reveal jewelry with different sparkles, evocative light clothes and stockings thrown at random on rocking chairs, and dresses of different styles hanging from the half-hidden cloakroom to the wardrobe.

There is a blood-pumping aroma in the air.

The main attraction in the room was a full-length mirror in the center of the carpet, smeared with some unknown crimson liquid, a extinguished candle in front of the mirror, and scattered petals that Dunn didn't recognize.

"It looks like a magic mirror divination."

The hoarse voice of the "corpse collector" Frei, who had the same path as the "psychic" Daly, knew a lot about psychic and divination.

Several people immediately tensed up, stood back to back, and looked around cautiously.

Divination, a means that extraordinary people love and hate.

Divination by teammates can help them understand the danger ahead of time, find missing items, and even talk to the dead like a psychic, but attacks on enemies who can do divination are often not sudden, and soothsayers can see through their ambushes or raids in advance, or even set up ambushes in reverse, so that the actions of the official extraordinary will fall short.

Could it be that Mrs. Sharon had succumbed to the actions of the night watchman tonight and ran away ahead of schedule?

It's okay to run away, I'm afraid that she will use divination to gain an intelligence advantage, and in turn set up an ambush to make everyone prey.

Frye pressed his forehead and entered the vision, scrutinizing his surroundings.

"She didn't find the spiritual light, she should have run away."

Only then did everyone relax, Luo Yao frowned and said to himself: "Mrs. Sharon won't use the magic mirror for divination for no reason, who reminded her?" ”

"It should be that when the captain brought Ms. Angel Granger back in the morning, there were many people around who witnessed this incident, and it is not difficult for Mrs. Sharon to know about this if she has a news channel." Siga analyzed.

Dunn opened his mouth, trying to explain that he had told the people around him that he was only investigating Cole Granger's disappearance, but in retrospect, he also felt that he should not have worn a police uniform and used the police carriage to go to Granger's house, according to his usual habits, he should have taken Angel Granger back to the Black Thorn Security Company in the middle of the night to be protected, and the road would be as low-key as possible.

But at the time, the "Night Watchman" was out in his own carriage, and he also wanted to use his police identity to intimidate Angel Granger...... No, these reasons are untenable, how can you think that the behavior is reasonable at that time?

In any case, the operation was a failure, and now the only way to collect as much evidence as possible about Mrs. Sharon's guilt is to notify the church and the Tingen police when he returns, and issue a wanted warrant.

“…… Then she must have looked into the mirror and asked, 'Did Angel Granger betray me?' 'Where is she now?' and we were rightfully exposed to her. Siga mimicked the tone of divination, gesturing in front of the mirror with both hands, and continued.

The expression on Dunn's face froze.
