Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Chapter 84 [Jealousy] and [Psychological Invisibility] Today’s update is a 5,300-word chapter

Lily, who was rejected by Luke, was not too depressed. After all, how could it be possible to make a decision after hearing a few words from a stranger about such a major matter that would determine the future path.

She pushed her hair behind her ears and invited warmly: "I'll take you to sign up first. You can decide whether to practice as a wizard or a shaman later."

The main body of the school is not located in the town, but is hidden in the jungle behind the town.

Driving through a fairly wide forest road, within ten minutes, a huge building came into view.

The entire building is composed of several pyramid-shaped towers. The tallest tower in the middle has ten floors and stands majestically in the center of the school.

The outer walls of the tower are made of pure white marble, with gorgeous decorations and carvings, making people involuntarily think of the ancient magician's castle.

At the top of the tower, there is a huge oval-shaped red crystal. At first glance, it looks like a solid flame.

Luke looked with his identification ability, but found nothing. It seemed that there should be some kind of protective measures near the crystal.

Seeing that he noticed the crystal, Lily introduced: "It's called the Heart of Fire, and it's the sect-suppressing treasure of the Flame School. I heard that during the period of extraordinary severance, the mages of the Flame School could also use it to perform some simple This is why it has been passed down to this day. However, we usually call it a phoenix egg. Look, does it look like an enlarged version of a bird egg?"

Luke took another look at the crystal. It did look a bit like it, and he nodded in approval.

According to Lily, those who attend the "School of Flames" training class will have an opportunity to get up close and understand the heart of fire before graduation. Many people will gain some special insights about flames.

She has a complete inheritance, and the reason why she left the tribe and came here was to gain some insights after graduation.

Lily seemed to be very familiar with this place, and she led Luke through the procedures with ease. After paying the tuition fee of 150,000 U.S. dollars, he looked at the gorgeous decoration of the tower and began to feel distressed.

His college tuition is only $20,000 a year, which also includes accommodation and books.

The short-term training course of the "Fire Flame School" lasted only three months.

On the first day of class, there will be a concentrated class to explain the basic knowledge.

After that, you can come and go freely and directly seek guidance from the teacher according to your own progress.

After all, there are only twenty people in one training class, and the number of students is not as many as the teachers. Moreover, some students are pure novices, while others are industry insiders, and the progress is different. Therefore, the teaching mode is somewhat similar to that of personal training in a gym.

The class officially started a week later. After Luke completed the formalities, he said goodbye to Lily and drove away.

——

Days without monsters to farm are very boring.

Luke even thought about going over to slay a few waves of vampires, but the little vampire power they had in Phoenix City had been wiped out by the furious police system, and most of the remaining ones shrank back to their base camp, Nivaldo City.

The official relationship there is very serious with vampires. If Luke goes to find trouble with them, he may be wanted by the police before he fights a few wild monsters.

That is to say, the states and even the cities in the Lighthouse Country are not very closely related, otherwise the police from Nivaldo City might now come across the city to detain Luke.

There are not many clues about Candyman's subsequent case investigation. Only Dast and Yaska are continuing to follow up, while Amisha is investigating the previous disappearance of securities company employees.

There are new circumstances emerging in that case. One of their important customers and partners named Paul has also disappeared recently. The police are planning to combine the two missing cases.

Bored, Luke decided to go to the police station to ask if there were any clues about the monsters, preparing to play the role of a good citizen who does justice again.

After arriving at the police station, he first went around Amisha's office, but no one was there. The police officer passing by told him that Amisha was now discussing the case in the conference room.

As a special adviser to the police station, he could observe most cases that were not particularly sensitive, so he asked the police officer to lead him over.

In the conference room, Amisha was discussing the case intensely with several police officers.

Seeing Luke come in, she nodded and motioned for Luke to find a place to sit and continue the discussion.

After listening for a while, Luke roughly understood the current situation.

An old black policeman named William was the person in charge of the disappearance case of Farhad, an employee of P\u0026P Securities Company. He insisted that Patrick, who had been questioned at the police station before, was a serious suspect and suggested that he be detained directly or apply for a search warrant to inspect his home. .

Amisha also supported his opinion.

However, a few middle-aged police officers who looked a little smoother emphasized that based on the clues currently available, some witnesses claimed to have seen a homeless man following Paul, and this clue should be regarded as the main starting point for current follow-up.

Moreover, it seems that they are unwilling to offend P\u0026P Securities Company. According to them, Patrick is the only son of the founder of this large company, and his father has certain power in the city.

Taking action against him without evidence would result in a passive police department.

Just as he was talking, the door of the conference room opened again, it was Sheriff Joseph.

Luke noticed that he had shaved off all the hair that he was once proud of, and he looked much fiercer.

As soon as Joseph came in, everyone in the meeting looked at him and smiled. It seemed that his popularity in the police station was indeed not very good.

One of the men he often laughed at said, "Joseph, have you lost all your hair?"

He didn't answer, but said to the black Sheriff Al Bryan: "There is a new case, please come out."

He took out a few more on-site inspection sheets.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the man deliberately shouted loudly, "You don't have kidney deficiency, do you?"

Joseph opened his eyes wide and said, "How could you denounce someone's innocence out of thin air..."

"What innocence? I saw your hair falling out with my own eyes last week. When you took off your hat, your hair fell out strand by strand."

Joseph's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he argued, "I shaved my head myself...all the tough guys shave it! If I shave it myself, does it count as hair loss?"

The words that followed were difficult to understand, such as "real man" and "macho man", which made everyone burst into laughter.

The conference room was filled with cheerful air.

Albryan was a good man. Seeing that Joseph was embarrassed and helpless, he stood up and followed him out.

After Joseph's lively atmosphere, everyone felt much happier and finally decided to split up.

The middle-aged police officers went to investigate the homeless group near P\u0026P.

As for Patrick, let Amisha and Morgan go to P\u0026P Company to talk to him without resorting to any means, and then ask about the situation to see if they can make any new discoveries.

At the end of the meeting, Amisha brought old police officer Morgan to Luke and introduced him: "Deputy Chief William, who has been a police officer for more than 40 years, is the oldest and most experienced senior in our police department. There are two other Yue is about to retire.”

As soon as he finished speaking, William stretched out his hand with a smile. Luke shook hands with him and introduced himself: "Luke, I just served as a consultant to the police station."

Morgan responded: "Of course I know you, the possessor of magical supernatural powers. I have heard about the previous werewolf case. An outdated old guy like me is really envious of you young and promising guys."

Luke smiled modestly and said, "No, we are going to learn from experienced seniors like you."

Amisha waved her hand between the two of them, "Okay, the greeting time is over, we are going to investigate Patrick."

Luke still remembered Patrick, the stockbroker, and he volunteered: "I'll go too."

Amisha looked him over and said, "Why are you following me? You don't understand interrogation and search."

Luke smiled mysteriously and took out the "Hypnosis Charm" that Dust had given him before taking it out of his pocket and lit it up.

Amisha desperately wanted to tell Luke that it was unethical to abuse extraordinary powers against ordinary people.

But the clean and tidy scene during the last interrogation of the gang leader seemed to be replaying before her eyes.

Human nature is like this. Once you drive it once, it's hard to refuse to drive it a few more times.

She thought twice and said, "Okay, you can follow, but don't use the hypnotic spell easily. At least don't use it until William and I finish questioning."

The three of them each drove to P\u0026P.

After entering the building, the front desk service directed them to Patrick's assistant's office, and Amisha informed his assistant of the purpose of their visit.

Patrick was intoxicated by the singing in his headphones when the assistant opened the door and came in.

He asked displeasedly: "What's the matter?"

The assistant, who had been disliked many times recently, said timidly: "There are a few police officers outside who want to see you."

Patrick took off his headphones and slid his seat back.

"Tell them I went to lunch."

The assistant was a little helpless, "Patrick, it's only half past ten, I think they know you're here."

He frowned, "Let them come in."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone at hand and pretended to be talking to someone.

Luke and the other three came in, and Patrick was talking passionately into the phone.

"Friends, there is something special about wearing a thick striped shirt. He must be paired with a dark or brightly patterned suit and tie."

He smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to the three of them, and said into the phone: "Listen, I'm going to hang up, there's something going on here."

Then hung up the phone.

Luke and the others pulled up stools and sat down. Amisha and Luke had met Patrick before.

William had met him many times and was greeting him warmly.

Luke took the opportunity to whisper in Amisha's ear: "He has a problem. The call is fake. There is no sound on the other end of the phone."

Later, William and Amisha asked Paul and Farhad in detail about Patrick's whereabouts when Farhad disappeared, whether there was any alibi, and what their relationship was like.

Patrick answered all the questions fluently without revealing any flaws.

Seeing that the progress was difficult, Luke lost patience.

Even when he was investigating monsters, he just went up and summoned them. At this time, how could he follow the rules when dealing with an ordinary person?

He winked at Amisha and quietly took out the "hypnotic charm" from his pants pocket.

Psychic energy was poured into it bit by bit, and a mysterious wave emanated from the spell and spread towards Patrick.

William, who was asking questions at the side, also paused for a moment and remained silent.

As Luke continued to increase the level of psychic infusion, the hypnotic spell was gradually activated to its maximum level.

Patrick frowned and yawned, as if he was a little sleepy, but there was no sign of being hypnotized at all.

Luke once again increased the intensity of his psychic infusion, but the hypnotic spell seemed to have reached its limit and had no effect.

Isn't this a pirated copy?

Daxter gave me a spent spell?

But there are clearly familiar fluctuations occurring.

But why does hypnosis keep failing?

The "Hypnosis Spell" will only show such ineffective performance when facing extraordinary people.

Patrick is obviously an ordinary person.

He is indeed an ordinary person.

Luke began to feel that something was wrong, and he always felt that he had overlooked something.

Seeing that he didn't move, Amisha thought that the spell hadn't started to be used yet, so she picked up William's words and continued to interrogate him.

A glimmer of inspiration flashed through Luke's mind, but he couldn't catch it, as if there was a neglected idea that never appeared.

The irritable Luke used part of his psychic energy to operate in his brain, trying to develop his brain's potential in this way to help him think of the key question.

As a large amount of cool spiritual energy surged in his mind, he finally thought of it.

"I have never used identification skills on Patrick. Why do I think so decisively that he is an ordinary person?"

A thought split his brain like lightning.

Luke remained silent and used his identification ability to look at Patrick.

There are reactions, not ordinary people.

【Patrick】/【Jealousy】

Mortals who were corrupted by the original sin of jealousy gained supernormal power through original sin.

【Skill】

[Jealousy]: Arouse the jealousy in people's hearts and make them hate each other to the maximum extent.

[Psychological Stealth] Active effect: Activate skills to make yourself "non-existent" in the eyes of humans around you.

Passive effect: Covers the presence of one's extraordinary aura and is regarded as an ordinary person by default.

[Emotion Absorption] (disabled): Can absorb jealousy towards oneself and use it to strengthen one's abilities.

Looking at the last [Emotion Absorption], Luke complained in his heart: Fortunately it is a incomplete skill, otherwise I would have thought that this person has awakened the system to absorb negative emotions, and he looks more like the protagonist than me.

After the identification, he finally knew why he had always subconsciously ignored Patrick's extraordinary abilities.

【Psychological Invisibility】

Hiss~ What a good skill

By the way, there shouldn't be surveillance in the bathhouse.

Dirty!

Luke mentally slapped himself.

The Patrick in front of him doesn't seem to have much fighting ability, he looks like a mage.

Although I didn't bring the two weapons [Death Roar] and [Mourning Crow], it shouldn't be a big problem for a sneak attack at close range.

As for the enforcement power and subsequent interpretation issues.

Never mind him, let’s finish the killing later.

That’s it!

Several psychic threads in Luke's mind trembled slightly, and Harpie and the five crows began to move.

Harpie swooped down, smashed the window of Luke's Ford with a "bang", lifted up the special package containing two weapons with his claws, and then fluttered his wings into the sky, leaving behind dumbfounded onlookers nearby. The crowd stared blankly at the sky.

As for why there is so much movement, it's not a matter of blurring in and out.

Because the virtualization ability only targets itself and cannot blur other foreign objects it comes into contact with, so even if it can get into the car and get the package, it cannot be brought out with virtualization.

Five crows followed Harpie as they flew to Luke's floor.

Luke, who was facing outside the building, saw the crows flying in. He stood up suddenly with his hands on his hands and kicked over the desk in front of him. His fists were covered with silver arcs of lightning.

Use thunder first to hit a single target, and use fire first to hit a range. This is always the right approach.

Eat me with one move - Thunder Fist!

Luke silently recited in his heart ↓→↓→·A

He can also perform a few tricks with a stick and a hammer, and he can fight the enemy with bare hands. He really has no experience. He only relies on the combat experience he learned from the scalps of Indian warriors, and uses his intuition to punch one after another. He imagines that he is being beaten by the King of Fighters. Possessed by the second-level Hongtangwan, it instantly delivers explosive damage.

Patrick was caught off guard. He never expected that they were having a good conversation just now, so why did they suddenly turn over the table and start a fight?

He obviously didn't know that Luke not only raised many crows, but also held the [Mourning Crow] staff. People in the world called him Brother Crow, and it was common for him to flip the table if he disagreed.

The fists containing the power of thunder fell like raindrops. Although the power of thunder was somewhat weakened due to the lack of weapons, the 8 points of physical strength effect brought by [Innate Divine Power] still allowed him to overpower Patrick and beat him wildly.

Patrick was punched several times in the chest and head. Several ribs were broken. His body was charred black. He spat out a large mouthful of blood. He forcibly activated [Psychological Invisibility] and disappeared.

At the same moment, Harpierre had crashed into the glass of the exterior wall.

With a "crash", the glass shattered, and Halpier thoughtfully threw the bag into Luke's outstretched hand.

Patrick, who disappeared from the eyes of Luke and the other three, moved quietly and activated the [Jealousy] skill, making Luke and the other two hate each other.

A spiritual wave covered the entire office.

Luke suddenly didn't like Amisha and William in front of him. Why should she/he...

He thought for a moment, Damn, there's nothing to be jealous of.

The high soul strength allowed Luke to instantly lift the influence of [Jealousy].

But Amisha and William didn't have the ability like him. They took out their pistols, aimed at Luke, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

[Spider Sense] was beating in his brain, Luke activated [Transformation], switched places with a crow, avoided the attack, and disappeared from the sight of Amisha and William.

Patrick had already taken advantage of the chaos and escaped from the office. The huge noise caused chaos in P\u0026P Company. Luke, who tried to find Patrick's location through the sound, listened for a long time but could not find his location for a while.

While they were distressed, two crows had already pounced towards a deserted place. As the crows pounced, streams of blood emerged from the blank space out of thin air.

oh! it's here!

[Psychological Invisibility] can only target humans with sound minds, but it has no effect on these crows.

Patrick was seriously injured by Luke's "Thunder Fist". An ordinary person would have been lying dead on the spot. He also used [Emotion Absorption] to absorb a lot of jealousy in his daily showing off and strengthened his physical fitness. , so that he could barely escape with his seriously injured body, and he couldn't run fast at all.

Now that Luke had discovered his location, he ignored the surprised looks of the employees in P\u0026P Company, drew out the [Mourning Crow], rushed forward, and struck hard at the blank spot where the crow attacked.

There was a dull sound of hitting flesh.

Although you can't see it, the feel is never deceiving.

Luke continued to tap.

The headphones that Patrick had been listening to songs on had fallen off, and the singing on the radio began to play out.

"

It's hip to be square

It's hip to be square

I like my bands in business suits

I watch them on TV

"

This song is so familiar.

To the rhythm of the drums, Luke held the stick in both hands and swung it hard.

A tattered body emerged from the air.

When a person dies, the effect of the skill disappears naturally.

The emergence of power seedlings strongly supports Luke's view.

Experience points, get!

After writing 4,000 words, I found that I was stuck at the point where I was about to fuck Patrick. It was so out of context that I felt uncomfortable, so I might as well write more words and write it out in one breath.

Peacock from one o'clock in the morning.

besides. . . Complain a little bit. . . Nowadays, authors have become headline-grabbers. I really don’t blame the authors.

I think Chapter 79 has a unique feel, but the title is boring and you just don’t read it. The subscriptions for Chapter 79 are more than 100 less than those for Chapter 80.

Now I have climbed from the Dzogchen realm of 4,000 words to half a step to 5,000 words. When I continue to practice and practice, it is not impossible to reach the preliminary level of 6,000 words per day in the future.

Above, love you.
