The man didn't expect someone would attack him from behind, so he was smashed to the ground by the brick.
The bowl-like item on the ground started to crack the moment the man lost control of it. More importantly, as the cracks appeared, the fainted man started to twitch. Illusory souls appeared around him one after another.
There were the five girls who had gone missing, the gangster who had been beaten to death by Teddy, and most of them were unfamiliar souls.
They looked at the fainted man with a vengeful gaze.
Bloody Mary tactfully took a step back.
Right away, the souls of the dead seemed to have lost their last shackles. They dashed towards the fallen man in a frenzy and skinned him alive.
It wasn't just a description.
Instead, it was literally being skinned alive.
The man woke up from the pain. He wanted to scream, but Andy bit his throat.
As the first victim of the missing girls case, Andy suffered much more than the others.
Only through pain could one gain power.
There was a famous saying in the Witchcraft Sect.
Although not everyone acknowledged it, the man before Andy's eyes undoubtedly acknowledged it.
Therefore, the pain that Andy suffered far surpassed anyone's imagination.
Naturally, his hatred for the man was also beyond imagination.
The other girls shared the same thought.
As a matter of fact, the five girls became the main force that tore the man apart. The gangsters and the unfamiliar souls were only supporting them.
Dozens of hands were tearing the man's flesh apart.
In less than 10 seconds, the man was turned into a bloody skeleton.
A few more seconds later, not even his bones were left.
The souls that chewed the man's bones stood up one after another and landed in front of Leaf Dining's door.
Tssk Gak!
The door opened.
Kieran walked out with Starbeck on his back.
A group of almost 20 souls bowed to Kieran to thank him.
A moment later, they turned into fireflies and flew further away.
Right away, the Origin Forces in Kieran's body started a new round of growth.
Unlike before, the growth this time seemed to have reached a quantitative level.
[Spirit broke through a layer of seal, increased from D → D +]
…
The increase in the Mental Attribute caused Kieran's brain to feel refreshed, as if he had just had a good sleep. Not only was his mind clear, but he was also full of energy.
At the same time, Kieran flipped his finger and a [Crossing Copper Coin] appeared in his palm.
A moment later, [Crossing Copper Coin] was slightly burned by the lighter. A formless energy spread out from [Crossing Copper Coin], swiftly dispersing the presence of the soul.
With his strength unsealed and his conjecture confirmed, Kieran did not lose his mind.
He was very clear that his current strength was not enough to deal with a truly powerful existence.
And the aura of the twenty souls leaving was very likely to attract the dead that was giving him a headache at the moment.
Before his strength was further unlocked, Kieran did not want to face that level of the dead, especially under the premise that there were outsiders around him.
Kieran turned around and looked at Teddy.
"That was …"
Chief Teddy also saw the soul leaving the place.
Without a doubt, Sheriff Teddy was shocked again.
"They went where they should go."
"What are you going to do?"
Kieran pointed at the restaurant.
Even though it was messy, there were no corpses, which was good news for Teddy.
A ground full of corpses and a few bullets missing were two completely different things.
Even though the bodies were not good people, it was still the same.
"I … I'll see what I can do."
Teddy wanted to say that he would report to Kieran, but when he thought about what happened to him, he smiled bitterly.
"Good luck."
Kieran said as he turned his body sideways.
His meaning was obvious.
Chief Teddy smiled bitterly again. He carefully placed the drunkard on the floor of the restaurant and used his coat to wipe the filth off his face as he slowly walked out of the restaurant.
Kieran watched Chief Teddy disappear into the night. He turned around and went back into the restaurant. After locking the door again, he loosened the rope around him.
"Go upstairs and have a look."
The rope was loosened, but Kieran did not let go of Starbeck.
He wasn't sure whether Starbeck was safe or not.
So, Kieran held Starbeck's hand and walked up to the roof.
"Boss, everything is as you expected."
Bloody Mary, who was standing on the roof, saw Kieran and said in a flattering tone.
"Em.
Continue to monitor the area. "
Kieran nodded.
"As you wish."
Bloody Mary bowed and vanished on the spot. Kieran then went to the place where the man was devoured by the souls.
Of course, he wasn't mourning for the man.
He was checking the things the man left behind.
Or rather, checking his spoils of war.
There were a total of three spoils of war.
Two of them were very eye-catching.
The first was the bowl that looked like it was hooked up, and the second was a long chain that looked like a bracelet.
[Name: Vengeful Spirit House (Broken)]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: 1. Illusion; 2. Control]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Spirit E +, Mystical Knowledge (Witchcraft Master)]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: This is a witchcraft technique that has been passed down from a certain sect, it has reached the First Step (Note: Your Mystical Knowledge level is too low to further understand related knowledge)]
…
[Illusion: Consume a certain amount of materials and own blood to create an almost realistic illusion (The realism of the illusion depends on the quality of the materials and the user's blood)]
[Control: Extract the souls of the victims and place them into the Vengeful Spirit House to serve the user. The more torment the user suffers before death, the stronger the soul will be. Those who died in the illusion can be controlled directly, but their strength will remain the same as before. (Note: Each time the user uses the illusion, a Spirit authentication is required. If the user fails, the user will suffer the backlash of the controlled soul. The authentication varies according to the number of souls and the strength of the user)]
…
[Name: Gordor's Chain]
[Type: Accessory]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: Common]
[Defense: Common]
[Attribute: 1. Whip; 2. Bind]
[Effect: Mimic]
[Prerequisite: Spirit D]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: Gordor was an expert in alchemy and witchcraft. His favorite research was the combination of both. Extracting souls from tormented victims to create 'gold' was his most famous theory. It was as famous as the Gordor's Chain that he created. This isn't the first Gordor's Chain that Gordor created himself, it was created by the apprentices of Gordor Sect.]
…
[Whip: The whip of Gordor's Chain doesn't just cause physical damage, it also causes an extra + 1 damage to the soul, 2 times per day]
[Bind: Lock onto a target no larger than 25 meters and bind it. Target has to go through a Strength E, Spirit E + authentication. If the first authentication fails, target will be bound; if the second authentication fails, target will suffer a Strong soul shock and be bound, 1 time per day]
…
[Camouflage: This is another commendable aspect of Gordor's Chain. You don't have to control it yourself. All you have to do is control it with your mind and it will turn into a 3.5 meters long semi-illusionary chain, helping you complete a feasible action. (The radius cannot exceed 35 meters. Appearing and maintaining will consume energy.)]
…
Kieran looked at the two items in his hand and quickly put aside the damaged [Grudge House]. Instead, he picked up [Gordor's Chain] and carefully inspected it.
"Not bad."
In the end, Kieran commented on the item.
Perhaps it couldn't compare to his other equipment and items but when his other equipment and items were sealed in the game lobby, this item that couldn't be brought out became his only help.
Especially the special attribute that targeted the soul, it was a necessary support for Kieran.
Putting [Gordor's Chain] on his wrist, Kieran's thoughts moved.
Right away, a 3.5 meters long illusionary chain separated itself from [Gordor's Chain] and like a snake, it swirled around him and Starbeck according to Kieran's thoughts.
Then, following Kieran's thoughts, the chain vanished into thin air.
Kieran nodded again as he felt his Stamina being depleted.
It wasn't much, but it was still within an acceptable range.
After making sure he had a general grasp of the item, Kieran moved on to the third item.
It was a black bag the size of a palm.
When he picked it up, he heard the unique metallic screeching noise, Kieran had a general idea of what was inside.
As it turned out, Kieran was right.
[Crossing Copper Coin]!
A total of 20 coins!
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw the 20 [Crossing Copper Coins]. He could finally test out some of the ideas that he had before.
However, Kieran didn't forget about the things at hand.
"We need to clean up the place and the first floor.
It shouldn't be a big problem but just to be safe, I think we should wipe the place with hydrogen peroxide. "
Kieran looked at Starbeck.
"Em.
There's some in the kitchen, I bought some before. "
Starbeck allowed Kieran to hold his hand and nodded.
"We still need to replenish some necessities after dawn.
Do we still have enough money? "
Kieran dragged Starbeck down the stairs and asked as he walked.
"Other than replenishing the ingredients, we still have some.
But it's a little hard to reach the same level as before.
Those gas tanks aren't cheap. "
Starbeck replied.
At the same time, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
It was the second time Starbeck was worried about money.
Still strange.
Still moved.
It was still a different kind of emotion.
It definitely wasn't because of the warmth from Kieran's palm.
"Lacking money?"
Holding Starbeck's hand, Kieran walked in front, muttering to himself without noticing anything.
The man seemed to be disdainful of common currency, he didn't have any on him.
Otherwise, Bloody Mary, who shared the same thoughts as Kieran, would surely protect the man.
"Should I exchange [Crossing Copper Coin] for some paper money?"
The thought popped up in Kieran's mind, but after some thought, Kieran discarded the thought.
Even though he didn't know how much [Crossing Copper Coin] could buy, just the fact that it could activate all five Origin Forces was enough for Kieran to not sell.
Everything would be easier if he was stronger.
Otherwise, no matter how much money he had, he would be nothing but a fat sheep. Kieran knew it a long time ago.
"Then …"
After some thought, Kieran thought about Chief Teddy again.
It wasn't about borrowing money.
It was about John Dickson's bounty!
A bounty of 20000 was enough for Kieran and Starbeck to get through the tough days ahead.
Should he contact Teddy?
The answer was obvious.
If it was his, he had to fight for it.
Just as Kieran and Starbeck cleaned up Leaf Dining inside and out and were about to call Chief Teddy, Teddy arrived at the restaurant under the morning sun.
As soon as he entered, Teddy smelled hydrogen peroxide.
He sniffed but didn't say anything. Instead, he threw the paper bag on the bar counter.
"John Dickson's bounty.
And the 1204 in your wallet that you lost, it's in there too.
I tried my best to fight for it before I was suspended.
Consider it my repayment for last night. "
Teddy was being honest.
Kieran picked up the paper bag, checked it, and after making sure there was nothing inside, he passed it to Starbeck, who was delighted.
For the first time, Starbeck felt happy because he earned money.
It was also unfamiliar.
But …
Not bad.
He carefully placed the money into the box and turned around to the kitchen in delight, preparing breakfast for Kieran.
"I suggest you deposit it in the bank, otherwise it might attract malicious intent … Ugh, forget I said anything."
Teddy reminded Kieran.
However, the moment the words escaped his mouth, he thought of how the young man in front of him chopped up those ferocious monsters like vegetables.
If someone really had their eyes on this place, Kieran wouldn't have to worry about the brothers, he should just pray that nothing bad happened to those who had their eyes on this place.
"That's all for now, see you later."
Teddy waved his hand and prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to leave, he turned around and asked, "Those things won't appear in the day, right?"
"Nope.
"Nighttime is their favorite time."
"Of course, some special places will also become a place for them to roam."
After solving the money problem, Kieran was in a good mood.
"Then if, I mean if, I really run into them, what should I do?"
Teddy asked after some hesitation.
"Run."
Kieran said.
"What if I can't?"
Teddy asked.
"Then pray that they don't mean you harm, or that you have an electric baton or a torch with you. Any other questions? We're going to do a proof. "
"That's all, thanks."
Good luck with your business. "
Teddy waved his hand and showed Kieran a tourist flyer.
It seemed like the chief officer intended to treat his suspension as a vacation.
Kieran's excellent sight allowed him to see the title of the flyer: Hot Spring Cultural Tour.
"Have a safe trip."
Kieran waved his hand and walked out of the bar counter. He retrieved the little blackboard from outside the restaurant and hung another sign with the words' Business Closed 'on Starbeck's door.
The restaurant door was closed.
The signboard waved left and right under the morning sun.
Everything returned to normal.
The city started to wake up.
