Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 17 The Crow and the Cat and the Clown

Renekton stayed in the Executor Team's office until after get off work and took two more books from Mr. Coth, one in Elvish and one in Giants. Then he took the small iron box containing bronze phosphorus and the two books on the ride. The carriage went home.

When he got home, the sky was not completely dark yet, and the street lights on both sides were not lit yet. Renekton stood at the door, his eyes scanning the street. This was a neighborhood where rich people lived, Bai Feng Street. There were not many pedestrians and vendors on the streets, only carriages passing by.

Renekton's eyes scanned the entire block, and he was relieved when he didn't find anything that touched his spiritual sense.

Although the captain didn't say much when he handed the bronze phosphorus to Renekton in the afternoon, Renekton could also guess that he was probably used as a bait to bring out the thief-path Extraordinary who had been playing pranks in the hospital. Now that the Leziman attributes shown have targeted him, he may come looking for him.

Just a piece of bronze phosphorus cannot give Renekton a sense of security. Although this magical item is indeed very powerful, no matter how powerful the magical item is, it still needs to be used. Renekton does not feel that he is facing the suspected sequence five dream thief. Extraordinaries sometimes use magical items, especially when the opponent is one of the weirdest ways.

After Renekton withdrew his gaze from scanning the surrounding streets, he turned around and opened the door to go home. A crow landed on the street lamp on the right side of Renekton. The color of the fur on the crow was a little different. It was not pure black, but on its wings, legs, and head. They all have some dark red feathers, like non-mainstream crows among crows. The strange color of the crow's fur caught Renekton's attention. When he opened the door and entered the house, he slightly turned his head and glanced at the crow.

The spiritual intuition showed no warning, and the voyeuristic eyes did not see anything.

"It's really just a non-mainstream crow!" Only then did Renekton's doubts about the color of the crow's feathers dissipate.

The element of crow is a bit too sensitive at this time. Amon's body is a crow, and now he is being targeted by a suspected Sequence 5 thief. At this time, any crow that appears around him can make Renekton Suspect there is a problem. Even if he knew that the thief would not be able to possess the ability to parasitize until he reached Sequence Four.

"Master, you are back. Sally is already preparing dinner. We will have dinner in about a quarter of an hour." Mr. Butler came over to greet him immediately. It seemed that he was waiting for Renekton in the living room. return.

"Well, I'll stay in the study for a while. Call me when dinner is ready." Renekton nodded.

"Okay, young master, I took your glasses to the shop for repair today. They will be repaired tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest." I have to say that Mr. Butler is really reliable.

"Glasses? Huh? Well, okay, I understand. Uncle Sean, please take a rest. Just call me when dinner is ready." Renekton nodded and walked quickly into the study.

After entering the study and closing the door, Renekton's face sank. He placed the two books he was holding on the desk beside him, then opened the metal box containing the bronze phosphorus and looked at the contents of the box. With gray-brown dragon scales, Renekton hesitated for a while before closing the box.

"I don't know if touching it with your hands counts as being close to the skin. To be on the safe side, it's better to put it in this metal box. Maybe it can also isolate the thief from the perception of the treasure by the Extraordinary." Renekton sighed, and finally Still haven't taken out the bronze phosphorus.

Mr. Butler's words just now reminded Renekton of something he had forgotten since he went to the Crimson Senior Hospital on Hawke Street today. He obviously bought two pairs of identical glasses in the morning, wearing one pair and wearing the other. The pair had always been in the pocket of his coat, but they disappeared at some point, and he never remembered that he still had a pair of glasses.

"If Mr. Butler hadn't mentioned that he had taken the previously broken pair of glasses to be repaired, I would have never remembered that I still had a pair of glasses. Only extraordinary people who have truly faced the path of thieves will know how valuable they are. People are weird and scary," Renekton whispered.

Renekton sat on a chair aside and carefully recalled all the things he encountered in the Crimson Advanced Hospital, but no matter how he recalled it, he could not recall any memory related to the eyes.

"It can't happen after the captain and I met. Otherwise, the captain should be able to detect the abnormality more or less. It can only be the time when Elisa and I got along. It would be the vampire named Elisa. Is there a problem? Or is there a third person next to us?" Renekton immediately rejected his idea.

The vampire's sense of smell cannot be concealed casually. Although the ventilation ducts were stolen, the air in the hospital was not circulating and various smells were mixed, but Elisa would definitely be able to detect it if she was right next to it.

"All the fingers are pointed at Elisa! Is she really a vampire? Or is she disguised? In the picture I divined, the person who took the book I dropped and the person who tore the book were dressed differently!" Rekton said. The more he thought about it, he felt that the vampire girl Elisa he met was suspicious.

"But that's wrong! If she really had a problem, she wouldn't have cared about my provocative words at that time. Then why would she still target me? Is there anything special about me?" Renekton thought carefully about himself. Is there anything about you that might attract others?

After thinking for a long time and finding nothing, Renekton got up and walked around in the study a little irritably.

"Woof woof~ woof~"

"Meow! Meow! Meow~meow~~"

The undulating sounds of cats and dogs could be heard outside the window, and the sounds lingered on this street. Renekton remembered that although there were people keeping pet cats and dogs on this street, there were not so many. He followed the sound to the window of the study and opened the curtains.

Outside the window, a group of cats with different coat colors and patterns, led by a black cat, chased a group of dogs jumping up and down. The dogs were beaten back by the well-trained army of cats, especially the black cat who took the lead. It's almost like a dish dog with one paw.

"This meow is too aggressive!" Renekton murmured.

"Gah~" A crow crows on the street light outside the window.

Only then did Renekton notice that the crow that had fallen on the street lamp when he returned home was still there, and it seemed that it was enjoying the cat-dog fight below.

This scene made Renekton feel a little inconsistent. Both the cat army and the crow were too human.

Renekton did not hesitate anymore and took the initiative to use the Eye of Peeping. The world in Renekton's eyes changed colors. The ordinary buildings outside lost their colors and turned into black and white pictures. The lit street lamps, surrounding vegetation, chasing and Living things such as cats and dogs being chased and crows standing on street lamps turned into abstract and intense colors. When those cats and dogs got closer, they all turned into a blur in Renekton's eyes. .

Renekton focused his attention on the leading black cat. The astral body, mental body, etheric body, and even the spiritual body of the other cat all emitted layers of radiance of different colors under Renekton's gaze. Even though these different rays of light are layered together, they are distinct in Renekton's eyes. Renekton can clearly distinguish them, as if he is casting his sight from a higher dimension.

These rays of light alternately layered together to outline an orange-yellow pattern like a scale. The pattern was very blurry. Renekton did not continue to observe. He knew how to exercise restraint and could not pry into the unknown wantonly. This was a lesson Renekton had just learned this afternoon.

His eyes moved towards the crow standing on the street lamp. The crow seemed to have noticed Renekton's prying eyes, and turned its head to look at Renekton through the window.

The crow in Renekton's eyes continued to grow larger and swollen, fine scales continued to emerge from its body, the red feathers turned into a brass color, and continued to spread throughout the body, the feathers became flamboyant and ferocious, and in its huge eyes It seems that there is an illusory book that is constantly turning.

Renekton immediately turned his head and closed his eyes, no longer using the Eye of Secret. The stinging pain in my eyes gradually subsided.

Only then did Renekton open his eyes with lingering fear, not daring to look at the crow on the street lamp again. The other person was obviously a real boss.

The army of cats that were chasing the vegetables and dogs seemed to be frightened. After barking a few times, they fled in all directions. The leading black cat also hid himself in the shadows of the houses on the other side of the street.

Renekton's eyes moved to the direction where the cat army began to disperse. There stood a clown in a rather funny costume under the streetlight.

The clown wears a tall red hat, a red tuxedo, trousers, and dark red leather shoes. The leather shoes are very polished and reflect bright white light under the street lights. The clown has exaggerated makeup on his face. , a face as white as covered with flour, a red nose, and exaggerated lipstick on the mouth, as if a smile from ear to ear was painted on the face, with black eyebrows and abstract square eyes, Her orange-red wavy hair was neatly combed back, and her hair was left to her chin.

The clown's face was wearing a pair of glasses that didn't match his style at all. Renekton recognized that they were the glasses he had lost when he was in the hospital. They appeared on the clown as if to laugh at him.

The Joker noticed Renekton's gaze and stood under the streetlight that turned on at some unknown time and saluted Renekton with an exaggerated smile.

Renekton took two steps back as if he was frightened. He put his right hand into the inner pocket of his coat and felt relieved when he touched the metal box containing bronze phosphorus. The clown stood there under the streetlight without moving, and Renekton, who was standing by the window, did not dare to move rashly.

An atmosphere of weirdness, silence, and fear began to permeate the surroundings invisibly, as if to solidify this scene.

"quack!"

The crow standing on the street lamp screamed again. Because of the deep impression of the secret eye, Renekton subconsciously raised his head to look at the big crow.

The big crow stretched out his head and resumed his posture of standing motionless on the street lamp. He seemed to have just barked twice casually.

Renekton looked away and found that the clown who was standing under the streetlight was gone. Renekton looked around hurriedly, but did not find the clown. He closed the curtains as if to escape. Renekton faced the window and stepped back step by step, as if the clown just now would open the curtains at any time to reveal his exaggerated and weird appearance. smiling face.
