The blood-red setting sun shone down and crossed many buildings, forming layers of shadows.
Red and black intertwined with each other. Each time the figure moved, it would be in the gap between the red and black. It was fast and stealthy, it even had a sense of elegance.
It was like a dancer shuttling between the light and shadow.
But …
The technique wasn't good enough.
"Flashy but impractical."
Kieran commented on the figure in his heart.
He wasn't purposely belittling the figure. From Kieran's point of view, he was sure the figure's undercover technique had reached at least Master level, maybe even higher. However, in order to blend in the fancy technique, the figure would purposely make its movements as elegant as a dancer's. From Kieran's point of view, the loss outweighed the gain.
The goal of undercover was to conceal one's whereabouts.
It was to prepare for approaching or staying away from the target.
The focus was on stealth, and the secondary was speed.
Pretty?
Sorry.
In Kieran's point of view, no matter how pretty the move was, if it could be killed in one hit, there was no need for it to exist.
Kieran's mind was picturing the possible scenarios when the figure approached and how to deal with it.
Then …
A humming sound came from the figure outside the restaurant.
The humming came from the approaching figure outside the restaurant.
It was a soothing humming.
There weren't any lyrics or musical accompaniment.
All it heard was a woman's murmur.
The murmur was soft and flowed like spring water in the stream, unknowingly seeping into one's heart.
Eckart and Lyn Amie, who were eating, froze. They looked up with a dull face, putting down their chopsticks and standing up. Their bodies started to move clumsily.
As if they were dancing.
But it was more like they were moving unconsciously.
Their faces turned from dull to absent-minded, and their eyes looked dull.
Hypnosis!
Kieran squinted his eyes and knocked on the dining table with his hand.
Dong!
The force was strong, the utensils on the table bounced. The sound was loud enough and it was perfectly inserted into the woman's murmur.
Eckart and Lyn Amie stopped moving, looking up in a daze. They didn't know what happened.
Kieran's knocking didn't stop.
Dong, Dong, Dong.
Again and again.
One was high and the other was low.
There seemed to be no rhythm to it, as if it was just a random knock, but every knock would be embedded in the female voice's murmurs, causing the latter to be out of tune.
The humming didn't stop. The man kept changing his tone, but it was useless. Every time he changed his tone, he didn't get what he wanted.
Perhaps in the beginning, Kieran was not used to it, allowing the other party to gain the upper hand. However, once Kieran spoke, the situation was completely reversed.
In the end, the mumbling of the female voice became even more disorganized. The figure that was already standing outside the restaurant quickly knocked on the glass door.
"Can I come in?"
"I mean no harm."
The other party's voice was hoarse. He had not done it on purpose.
It was because the continuous humming just now had hurt his throat.
She needed to rest as soon as possible, otherwise there would be big trouble. The other party knew this very well, but she had to see Kieran.
It was not only for official business, but also for personal reasons.
Back at the soldier rehabilitation center, she was already amazed by Kieran's methods.
But now?
He was even more impressed.
Kieran's musical attainments were really admirable.
If both of them could have a good conversation, she might be able to improve further.
"Come in."
After Kieran's slightly cold voice sounded, the other party pushed the door open and entered.
"Nuna!"
Eckart and Lyn Amie cried out in shock as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
When they came back to their senses and realized what happened, both of them were shocked and slightly panicked. If it wasn't for Kieran, who was still sitting on the spot, both of them would have run away right away.
After all, it wasn't a good thing to be enemies with a hypnotist who could simply hypnotize people with his voice.
However, with Kieran around, whenever they thought about all the shocking abilities that Kieran had displayed in the past few days, both of them quickly found something that they could use as a weapon.
Eckart picked up the folding stool that he had been sitting on.
Lyn Amie picked up the kettle on the table, which was filled with hot water.
Both of them originally wanted to wait for the other party to come in, then Lyn Amie would throw the kettle out first and Eckart would jump in to teach the other party a lesson.
However, when they saw Nuna, both of them put down the things in their hands.
Nuna wasn't a stranger to both of them. As a rather famous shaman in Rain City, she was invited by the 'Shaman' show.
However, Nuna had rejected the offer.
Hence, Eckart always thought she was a liar with limited methods.
When he saw her this morning, he was even more certain of that. He even added a 'vicious' label to her name.
Anyone could tell what the two so-called shamans, Nuna and Kaomu, were trying to do.
However, the Nuna before him was a little different from what he had imagined.
Kaomu didn't need to care about her anymore; she was just an idiot.
As for Nuna …
"Who are you?"
Eckart asked after a glance at Kieran and got the silent permission from Kieran.
"Nuna, a shaman from Rain City.
"Also …"
The person in charge of the Hypnotist Association in Rain City. "
Nuna replied with a smile.
"Hypnotist Association?"
Eckart was stunned.
He had never heard of the association before, but it didn't stop him from feeling how powerful it was from Nuna's methods.
The person in charge of Rain City could hypnotize people with her voice alone, and throughout the entire Neo Union, there were at least 40 other cities like Rain City.
Forty hypnotists similar to Nuna?
What about similar organizations? Since they had branches in different cities, they must have a headquarters somewhere.
Would the people in the headquarters be even stronger?
Eckart looked as calm as usual as he quickly speculated in his heart, but his heart was a lot more vigilant than before. The director put his hand behind his back and signaled Kieran non-stop.
"A loose, free organization.
I am here today to invite 2567 to join us.
Of course, I'm not forcing you. "
As a truly powerful hypnotist, Nuna knew what Eckart was doing just by looking at the folds on his outer robe.
In fact, he even knew exactly how many fingers his opponent had used.
However, she didn't point it out.
She was here to invite Eckart, not to provoke him.
As for what she did before?
The Hypnotist Association wasn't a market, not just anyone could enter, one had to go through a real test.
"That was a test just now?
Including this morning? "
Eckart reacted right away.
"That was a test just now.
But this morning, it wasn't.
Although I saw 2567's hypnotic abilities on TV, I didn't know if it was real or not. Actors have made it hard to differentiate between real and fake in this world.
I am here to … "
"For the Bomber."
