Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 195 The Tiger’s Landing Style
At the same time as the gun went off, Anderson’s entire body suddenly collapsed, forcing himself to dodge the bullet in an awkward way.
And Klein, who didn’t understand the situation, had already leapt sideways to the other side, opening his psychic vision while drawing his revolver.
At this instant, his first thought was that this guy Anderson had hunted too much last night and attracted retaliation, and just wanted to open his mouth and shout “I don’t know him! It has nothing to do with me!”
Just then, at the table beside Anderson Hood, a burly man in a shirt and cuffs dropped his knife and fork, jerked a loaded double-barreled shotgun from under his chair, aimed it at the ground, and pulled the trigger in a condescending manner.
There was almost no time difference between this action of his and the innkeeper’s shot, except that it was slower because of the number of steps.
Bang!
Shrapnel flew out, countless tiny pellets shooting the ground into a honeycomb, and though Anderson rolled in time to evade most of it, he was still swept up a bit, and his side became an instant bloody mess.
Klein was about to shoot the burly man with the double-barreled shotgun to help Anderson Hood out of danger when he realized that the other man, like the innkeeper, had the same hokey blank expression of surprise and fear, and the feeling that he had finally sobered up.
No, they are not the real assailants …… Klein sensibly stopped his finger from attempting to pull the trigger, and his eyes swept a quick glance around the restaurant.
Seeing that the spiritual vision did not find, his left thumb immediately pinched the first joint of the index finger twice, opened the “spiritual body line” of observation.
By this time, the ladies and gentlemen in the restaurant had risen in a panic because of the shooting and rushed towards the exit.
Passing by the rolling Anderson, an elegantly dressed lady with good looks suddenly stopped, opened a dark-colored glass bottle clutched tightly in her hand, and poured the liquid inside towards the strongest hunter.
Zi!
The place that was stained by the liquid, the surface quickly turned black and suffered intense corrosion, Anderson covered his face and grabbed the first to bounce up, avoiding this attack.
Immediately after, the quiet, lovely lady, the gentleman with the newspaper, the waiter in the red vest, and the five-year-old with candy on his hands simultaneously attacked Anderson Hood in their own ways.
Flour, lighted matches, fruit knives, piping hot coffee, and highly alcoholic beverages came in quick succession, and all the people in the entire hotel restaurant seemed to have but one object in view, and that was to kill Anderson Hood!
In such an exceptionally dangerous situation without the participation of extraordinary abilities, Anderson, who had already fallen into the encirclement and was difficult to get out of it, rolled and rolled, sometimes leaping up, sometimes kicking the table, sometimes igniting the objects in advance, barely avoiding the vitals and not suffering from serious traumas.
And at that moment, Klein also discovered an anomaly:
In the corner of the dining room, covered by decorative cabinets, the seats, obviously spread out a thin illusory black “spirit line”, but there is no movement coming out.
This was quite unusual in a hall filled with chaos and panic!
The real assailant who had masterminded the “murder of a passerby” was sitting there? Judging from the confusion, disbelief, horror, and panic of the innkeeper and the waiters and customers after they attacked Anderson, they did not turn into puppets, but this is another level of manipulation …… illusions, the emotional seed of the “Apostle of Desire”, or, rather, another influence on the psychic level? The influence of the “Apostle of Desire”. Klein suddenly had a flash of insight, and immediately took two steps forward, knocking away a customer who still had cream on the corner of his mouth, opening the way for Anderson Hood.
The strongest hunter immediately rolled out of the encirclement from this direction, following Klein as he dawdled back to the second floor of the hotel, leaning his back against the wall at the corner of the steps and panting heavily.
”Has my ability to provoke already reached this level? Even ordinary citizens that I don’t know want to beat me to death and have acted on it? Hiss ……” As he spoke, Anderson tore the injury on his right rib and almost screamed out in agony.
No, no, no, the real situation is that people with bad luck should not do such things as hunting pirates …… The reason why Klein gave up the plan to close in on the target and try to control it with the “Spirit Body Thread” was because he thought of a possibility:
The passers-by seem to have been planted hints, or encountered a spiritual level of manipulation, so that they will be in order to suddenly attack Anderson, which is not too consistent with the extraordinary ability of the “Apostle of Desire”, because the controlled person’s attack has a directionality, precision, and obvious traces of preparation, and Klein had heard of a Sequence 4 magic potion formula The name is “Manipulator”!
In addition, based on the words of the “psychiatrist” released from “Creeping Hunger”, Klein has always suspected that there is a “Psychological Alchemy Society” related mission or person on Tuscany Island.
In addition to the fact that mental suggestion and psychic manipulation match the characteristics of the “Audience” pathway, Klein has also long believed that the “Manipulator” probably belongs to the “Audience” and the “Dragon”. “Chiron”, the outline of the matter is clearer:
The “Psychological Alchemy Society” does have an important stronghold on the island of Tuscany, and sent a Sequence 4 demigod to guard it, and this demigod has influenced some pirates to unconsciously help him do something, and these pirates last night, unfortunately, became Anderson Hood’s financiers, and so, this morning, the real investors came to the door!
Controlling his own expression, Klein looked at Anderson and said in an indifferent tone:
”It should be the hidden demigods of this island that are involved behind whichever pirate or pirates were involved last night.
”Do you think that kind of thing just now is something that a Middle Sequence Extraordinary can do?”
”Wouldn’t be so unlucky, right ……” Anderson’s voice was getting smaller and smaller, and obediently turned to muttering, “Sure enough, just now those guys were controlled, innocent people, fortunately I didn’t fight back, or else I would have become a shocking bloodshed I was lucky that I didn’t fight back, or else I would have become the main culprit of a shocking bloodshed and been put on a bounty order! At that time, the trouble will be big, can only go to be a pirate.”
The corner of Klein’s mouth moved slightly and said:
”If the one who was controlled just now was a pirate with extraordinary abilities, or a vicarious punisher or priest of the Storm Church, how would things have developed?”
”I would already be dead.” Anderson spread his hands, and then said with some realization, “You mean, he didn’t want to kill me, and just now it was just a warning?”
Klein nodded seriously and said:
”So, you still have a chance.
”Well, go apologize.”
Go see what that demigod really wanted to do.
”Apologize?” Anderson’s face scrunched up for a moment and said in a difficult manner, “In the Sea of Mists, my reputation is still very loud.”
Klein said nothing, stood up straight, patted his jacket, and prepared to walk away.
At that moment, Anderson swooped out in a flash, ahead of him, to the stairway, and shouted:
”I’m sorry! I was wrong!
”Anything is negotiable!”
After a second’s pause, he repeated:
”I’m sorry! I was wrong!
”Anything is negotiable!”
Clap! A slow clap sounded on the first floor, and a figure then appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
In light footsteps, the figure gradually walked around the corner, but Klein instinctively, subconsciously averted his eyes, as if he didn’t want to know what the visitor looked like.
Moreover, he realized that he had not the slightest idea of raising his arm and taking aim with his gun, and seemed to have been impliedly deprived of the idea of resistance.
This is terrible …… Well, it’s not face to face hypnosis now, so I’m able to perceive it, but if it’s directly targeted, the result is unimaginable …… I’ll be affected now, according to “Justice According to “Justice”, the other party came to my island of consciousness silently through the sea of collective subconsciousness, and made a certain degree of operation? Klein was having a dawning realization when he suddenly had the urge to leave this place and return to his room.
Is this a silent “command” from the demigod? Klein roughly understood that the other party wanted to communicate with Anderson alone, so he didn’t do anything to resist, walked out of the stairway, and went all the way into his own room.
Less than five minutes later, Anderson knocked on the door of his room with a sullen expression.
”Talking it over?” Klein asked as if offhandedly.
Anderson nodded heavily:
”Hoo …… yeah, he asked me to do something for him, what exactly, can’t tell anyone else.”
”Remember what he looks like?” Klein asked deliberately.
Anderson thought carefully and suddenly frowned:
”Don’t remember ……”
Sure enough …… you say you, just for 1600 pounds, messing with a half god, how not worth it …… Klein sighed darkly and turned to say:
”Can we leave tomorrow?”
”Yes, that matter is not urgent, first solve the problem of doom.” Anderson replied without hesitation.
Without further ado, Klein pointed to the floor:
”Still going to breakfast?”
Anderson was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile and said:
”Of course!
”No worries should interfere with eating and sleeping!”
The two went down to the first floor and found the waiters quietly cleaning up the broken items, the owner and the customers having completely forgotten what had just happened.
……
After breakfast, Anderson continued to go out, busy collecting bounties and characteristic money, and making some preparations, while Klein stayed in the hotel room, collecting the overflow of spirituality after the promotion, and experimenting with the extraordinary ability of the “Secret Puppet Master” with a small worm.
At 2:30pm, he entered the Grey Mist early to rehearse for the upcoming Tarot meeting, after all, Mr. Fool was going to knock down Gaudrea the Hidden with a very light touch.
Sitting to the “Fool” belongs to the position, Klein according to the past few days to figure out three sets of knocking scheme, one by one to do a rehearsal, of which two schemes need to mobilize the space of a little power, two have to use props, so the whole process of how to go, he must be fixed ahead of time, skilled grasp, can not be exposed at the critical moment of the raw! Traces.
After an unknown amount of time, Klein exhaled and finalized things.
Then, he materialized the “world”, without the need for items, and directly saw the countless fine black lines spreading out from the other party.
”The items manifested with the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist have a certain spirituality of their own. …… That’s why they have the ‘Spirit Body Threads’, whereas in the real world, inanimate objects don’t have them. ” Klein skillfully maneuvered those black threads, and soon had real, complete control over the “world”.
Now, he could not only make the expression of the “world” more delicate and react more like a real person, but also make the puppet’s spiritual fluctuation close to nature, no longer dead!
In addition to these, he was also like a dual-enabled player, directly obtaining the sight, hearing, and other senses of the “world”!
After completing all this, Klein looked at the gold pocket watch and sent a message to the little “sun” so that he could count the heartbeats silently.
