Seeing that, Luke also lowered his head and checked the files on his laptop.
Right now, he didn't even need to look at the two people next to him to detect their abnormalities.
At such a close distance, the sound of their breathing and heartbeats could give him clear clues, not to mention that he had Sharp Nose.
So, he was actually quite relaxed.
Also, the enhancement from his Mental Strength reaching 20 was still ongoing. Although the effect was gradually diminishing, his mental state was maintained at a very good level.
Three days without sleep was nothing; he was confident that he could fight that guy for a week.
Kris didn't wake up again after she fell asleep.
She hadn't been sleeping well in the past few days. If the nightmare didn't happen, she would probably sleep until the next morning.
The atmosphere was so quiet and comfortable that Selina went from pretending to doze off.
She woke up an hour later and stretched comfortably. She was stunned for a moment before she looked at Luke next to her.
Luke was still flipping through the files on the sofa.
While Selina was asleep, he had asked Elizabeth to organize the files on Springwood and send them to him. They were mainly reports on the town and basic statistics.
The files might not be of much use, but they might be able to find some clues.
Noticing that Selina had woken up, Luke raised his head and gave her a "what's wrong?"
Selina sat down and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Luke didn't think much of it. "It's fine if you're awake. You can take a nap."
Selina looked at Kris, who was still sleeping soundly. "Nothing?"
Luke nodded slightly and sighed. "I just hope that guy isn't playing hide-and-seek with us."
Selina knew that they couldn't waste too much time here. Two or three days was already the most they could do.
After all, the case didn't really have much to do with them.
Judging from the current situation, the incident only affected Springwood Town and had nothing to do with the camping ground. Of course, it had nothing to do with the twins.
Naturally, Luke wasn't staying here because of Jeff's twin daughters, but because of the person who had created the nightmare.
He really wanted the ability to enter a dream.
If he didn't have this ability, he might be able to find something else.
Pondering, he checked the time. It was already past ten at night.
His phone vibrated slightly. Luke took it out and answered the call with his earpiece. Bobby's voice came from the other end.
Bobby drove all the way from Boom Town, Arizona. Except for a half-hour break, he didn't stop for the remaining six hours.
Now, he was already outside the town.
Luke told Selina in a low voice to pick up Bobby.
About ten minutes later, Bobby followed Selina into the house, looking exhausted.
He simply smiled at Luke and asked in a low voice, "What's up?"
Pondering for a moment, Luke looked at Bobby's exhausted face and made a decision.
Luke closed the door and led Bobby to the porch. He took out a deck of cards and said, "Let's play two rounds of blackjack. One dollar each."
Bobby: "Huh?"
Luke shrugged. "I'm helping you relax. Don't be too nervous. I called you over because I might need you to appease someone else. "
Bobby was confused, but what could he do?
He was desperate when he ran into such an unreliable and overbearing boss.
In the end, Luke put the cards away after three rounds. "Well, you must be tired from the journey. Get some rest."
Bobby: "Huh?" That's it? Did it even take a minute?
Luke didn't explain. He simply reminded Bobby again in a low voice not to wake up the sleeping girl.
Bobby was full of questions, but he could only nod in silence.
Luke opened the door and entered the house, but he was already summoning Daddy System.
Ten thousand credit points were instantly gone, and a new line appeared on his list of abilities: Elementary Mental Communication.
Yes, he had called Bobby over to gain the qualification to learn this ability.
Luke had played blackjack with Bobby three times. Luke had lost the first round, and Bobby had won the last two.
Luke, who had been paying attention to the system notifications, only saw that Bobby's Elementary Mental Communication (which was temporarily unavailable) had disappeared after he lost the first round and won the second two. Naturally, there was no need to continue the game of "relaxing."
Taking Bobby into the house, Luke told him to take a rest in the dining room, before he sat down next to Kris.
Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed the Mental Communication that he had just acquired.
After his Mental Strength reached 20, he felt that his brain was extremely active, as if it contained infinite power.
He could clearly sense the power, but he could only control a small part of it. Most of the time, it just operated on its own.
But after learning Bobby's Mental Communication just now, his brain was connected to him in a way that felt like it was his own limbs.
He could control it, although he was still a little rusty, like a toddler who had just started to move his limbs.
But compared with his previous method of controlling the brain, which he could only touch, this was a huge improvement.
Sure enough, he had to be a professional!
His previous ability to control the brain was an extension of Physical Outburst and Curve Shooting.
But that was just using his mind to control the body. It was like using gasoline to ignite firewood and injecting it into an engine.
One was just a medium to ignite the fire, while the other made it explode with astonishing power.
Luke fiddled with it for a moment, before he opened his eyes and looked at Selina, who was sitting on the couch across from him.
Selina had been paying attention to Kris. A moment later, she raised her head as if she sensed something, and her eyes met his.
Stumped for a moment, she opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she forgot what she was going to say.
A few seconds later, she subconsciously murmured, "At least you have a conscience."
After that, she suddenly came back to herself and looked at Luke in surprise. "Just now … did you say that you were going to make me a lot of delicious food after this?"
Luke chuckled inwardly and nodded. "Yes. Are you satisfied?"
Selina nodded and said, "Not bad." She still had a strange expression on her face, as if something wasn't right.
Luke chuckled inwardly and didn't give her an explanation.
There were many abilities that he didn't want Selina to know about.
It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but that this world was too dangerous, and there were bound to be mental superpowers.
Luke had Daddy System to protect his secrets, but Selina didn't.
Just now, he had used Mental Communication on Selina.
Unlike Bobby, who was the original owner of the weak chicken, Luke's mental strength was already extraordinary. Also, taking advantage of a certain foodie's greatest obsession, he was able to transmit the thought almost instantly, and made her think that he had said that.
In fact, Luke hadn't said those words at all. He had merely sent her the message with his eyes.
