Chapter 147: Out of Control
"So, the 'Fortune Teller' path really doesn't have to go until Sequence 7 to gain abilities such as Flame Flash, Paper Man Double, and so on......"
Klein introduced the new abilities he gained through the "Joker" potion, including physical enhancements, combat strengthening, and the ability to intuitively predict the enemy's next move and gain a premonition of impending danger.
When Angel launched an attack just now, he was aware of it in advance and reacted appropriately, but the potion did not give him combat experience, and after just one move, he was countered by the experienced Angel.
"Joker" Crane, who failed to turn over, looked enviously at Angel's left wrist, where the "magic pocket watch" containing the characteristics of the "magician" was hidden, and it had three extraordinary abilities that were extremely practical.
That would be his next target.
As the three of them made small talk, Dunn and Leonard stepped out from behind the partition.
"Why are you all here? Already done the exam? ”
Seeing that Angel and Crane, the two night watchmen who were being examined today, were in the reception hall, Leonard asked puzzled.
"They're all Sequence 8, Leonard, you have to hurry up, or you'll be caught up by the juniors."
"It's all ......"
Leonard couldn't believe it, and his eyes moved back and forth between Angel and Crane.
Dunn nodded indifferently as if he had expected the result, he was not wearing the trench coat that almost never left his body, but a waistcoat and a white shirt, looking thinner, but more energetic.
"By the way, Captain, when I came up, His Excellency Sesima asked me to tell you that all the Extraordinary and Old Neil, go to the alchemy room one by one to complete the last step of the examination."
Crane, who was still immersed in the joy of promotion, saw Dunn and hurriedly conveyed the request of the "Goddess Sword" to the other party.
The final step...... According to Dai Li, it should be to make everyone make an oath not to reveal the secret of the "acting law......
Angel guessed.
"Okay, I'll be the first to go, and by the way, inform old Neil and Frye, he's on Chanisman's shift today. Leonard, second in line, it's your turn when I come up, and then I have to inform Luo Yao, who is on a shift at home, only she is not here now. ”
Dunn quickly arranged the order, then left the reception hall and headed to the basement.
The remaining four sat around the coffee table on the couch and enjoyed Angel's cup of coffee.
"Maybe I should find a chance to submit a special application and promote to Sequence 7, I've heard you discuss how to master potions in the past few days, and I have some experience."
Drinking the carefully brewed coffee like a cow, Leonard said casually.
You should be promoted to "actor" in Sequence 7......
Looking at his clumsy acting skills, Angel sneered.
"If you can be promoted as soon as possible, you may have the opportunity to be the acting captain of the Tingen team."
Daly finally took her eyes off the newspaper in her hand, looked at Leonard, and said.
"Acting Captain?" Leonard's face was undisguised with confusion and confusion, and then, the confusion turned to shock.
"Is the captain going to be promoted to Sequence 6?"
Sequence 6...... The same as the captain of the "Red Gloves" the other day, South?
Angel looked at Klein, who had just been promoted to Sequence 8, and found that the other party had the same shock in his eyes.
Dai Li, who revealed the information, just smiled and said no more. Her smile at the moment has no haze in the past, no seemingly soft but repulsive aura, and today's dress without makeup and hanging accessories made several young night watchmen a little sluggish for a while.
"Don't reveal it to anyone just yet."
Leaving such a sentence as a confirmation, Daly got up and left the reception hall.
The three people left looked at each other.
"I didn't expect it...... The captain, who had been waiting for three years in Sequence 7 and had no clue, was actually about to be promoted. ”
Leonard muttered.
Angel was already aware of this, and when she and Crane were about to submit a special request, Dunn asked how he felt when he was "fully in control of the potion", and thought about it, he probably had a similar feeling at that time, but he was not sure that this was the prompt for digesting the potion.
"I guess Ms. Dai Li must have confessed her romance to the captain!" Leonard's next sentence digressed and caught people off guard, "I just don't know who spoke first, I made a bet with Rosan...... Hey, they've been ashamed to speak up for so many years, what is it that drives these two ......?"
His last word was so low that it was hard to hear.
I risked being killed by a gaslight......
The corners of Angel's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to smile, but he was worried that Leonard would guess the truth, so he could only suppress his expression.
……
A short time later, Dunn, wearing a shirt and vest and no top hat, returned from the basement and replaced Leonard, who still wanted to gossip about his captain.
"What's wrong with him?"
Looking at Leonard's strange eyes before leaving, Dunn asked curiously.
"Maybe I want to ask you for tips on how to play 'Nightmare', he seems to be ready to advance to Sequence 7."
Crane replied with a stifled smile.
After Dunn made the oath, he should have also learned the relevant knowledge of the acting method, and there was no need for them to worry about revealing secrets and breaking the oath.
Hearing the answer, the "nightmare" gray eyes became deep.
"Then I can teach him...... Or let him experience it for himself. ”
Is the captain too deep into the play...... Remember, "playing" is just playing......
Angel inwardly lit a wax for the hapless Leonard.
————
As a night watchman enters the underground alchemy room, either with doubts or deep thought, the examination conducted by the "Sword of the Goddess" is also coming to an end.
Frye, Siga, and Kornley congratulated Angel and thanked Klein, the former for their promotion to Sequence 8, and the latter for sharing the secrets of the "cosplay".
After being asked to make an oath, these clever teammates also realized why Angel and Crane had such a purpose after submitting their special request, and even seemed a little anxious to tell them "how to master potions".
Perhaps the senior deacon, Crestai Cesima, also saw through the minds of the two, but acquiesced in their pre-vow sharing.
At least during the examination, he did not question this.
Now only Old Neil, who has entered the alchemy room, and Luo Yao, who is at home in turn, will be successfully finished when the two of them also complete the examination.
The chit-chat of the night watchmen grew hotter, and Dunn stood in the corner smiling, watching the team members in high spirits.
It wasn't until Crestai walked from behind the partition with a serious face that his collar had been lowered, revealing his lips and chin.
The senior deacon looked around the hall, his gaze resting on Dunn.
"Dunn, come with me to the alchemy room...... Ms. Granger, you go to Dalie and tell her to come down as well. ”
The noisy reception hall seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and instantly became silent, and the night watchmen looked at each other, not knowing what had happened to the investigation in the alchemy room.
Dunn gave them a reassuring look and followed Crestai away briskly.
He told me to go to Ms. Dali, which means I should be fine...... Could it be Klein?
Angel quickly reviewed the whole process of the examination and looked at Klein, who shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
But the High Deacon's orders must be carried out, and Angel also leaves the reception hall and searches all the way through the office, recreation room, and other rooms, and finally finds Dalie sitting in the captain's chair in Dunn's office.
"Let me go down too? What's going on? ”
Dali's sleepy face was full of doubt.
"I don't know, it's Crestai's instructions, the captain is already there."
Angel was equally confused.
The two of them followed the stairs to the underground passage, turned left at the crossroads, and approached the secret door that led to the alchemy room.
Before reaching the door, Angel smelled a faint smell of blood, and the closer she got to the alchemy room, the more obvious the smell became.
But the hallway was empty, with no blood or other anomalies.
She looked at Dali beside her, who also had a serious face.
Taking a deep breath and pulling out the "thirsty blood", Angel quickened his pace, walked in front of Dali, came to the secret door, and pushed open the door of the alchemy room.
Blood, blood all over the ground!
The floor of the dark alchemy room was covered with random blood stains of various sizes as if it had been randomly splashed by an abstract painter.
If you look closely, you can see that there are fine tufts of long hairs on the bloodstains.
Through the dark vision, a naked man could be seen lying on his back in the center of the room, covered in blood, his gray hair was also stained with clotted blood, and there were a pair of scars on his forehead and cheeks, and blood was still leaking.
Crestai Cesima stood aside, holding the bone sword less than a meter long, and it was this sacred object that absorbed the light around it.
Behind the senior deacon was Dunn, who pressed his temples with a tired face, and when he heard footsteps, he turned his head with a rare look of dazedness and pain in his eyes.
Angel's heart sank.
Old Neil is out of control.
