Chapter 47 Inspiration Test

A dangerous evil creature.

It disguised itself as Benjamin and originally planned to launch a sneak attack on Sean and his group, but it did not expect to be discovered by Sean in an instant and died from a close-range gunfire.

The evil creatures of the flesh and blood path are difficult to kill.

It was not until William swung his sword and chopped off its head that the mimic revealed its true appearance: a pool of black mud, with a hunched human-like skeleton and no internal organs. After death, all the muscles in its body were melting away, but there was still a little remnant that was emitting a strange glow.

Extraordinary relic!

The extraordinary relics of the mimicry are the core materials of the transformation path. Many extraordinary people with transformation abilities need to integrate and digest this kind of extraordinary essence.

Likewise, the Transfiguration spells required by the wizard's path must also extract the essence of these extraordinary relics.

The power of the extraordinary people all comes from strange creatures.

"An advanced evil creature." Jima looked surprised.

Mimics are very dangerous hunters that can transform into your appearance in a single encounter.

Unfortunately, the person it met was Sean.

It can be said that Sean's powerful inspiration is naturally able to restrain this kind of evil things. It is not easy for ordinary investigators to see through its almost perfect transformation.

Daisy's figure moved.

Her petite body had extremely terrifying explosive power. With one leap she could reach more than ten meters away and intercept the hunched figure flying towards her in mid-air. Her sharp claws flashed a cold light, just like a cat catching a mouse, and she instantly caught the mouse under her claws. With a dull bang, the hunched humanoid monster was cut in half by her.

How cruel!

Daisy's fighting style is more brutal than anyone else. Once she enters combat state, her original cuteness and sweetness disappear completely, and her cold vertical pupils are filled with only savagery and the desire to kill.

She is the ultimate hunter, the ultimate predator.

Daisy's figure flew in the vertical space of the three-story building. A monster crawling out of the window was instantly caught by her. Its head hit the wall directly. Blood mixed with brain matter flowed, and the skull was almost completely shattered.

She bent down like a cheetah and grabbed a monster's foot in mid-air. She then swung it and smashed it against the railing of the corridor. The stone railing was smashed into pieces, and among the flying rubble were the monster's incomplete head and broken cervical vertebrae.

These monsters weighed about 80 kilograms, and Daisy held them as if they were holding a small mouse.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The corpses of the monsters fell down one by one. Daisy jumped lightly and fell from the railing on the second floor. She stood beside Sean in a well-behaved manner.

tick.

Drops of blood dripped from her claws, and the pale brain matter was stained on the soft hair. At this moment, coupled with her half-human, half-beast appearance, Xiao En couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Not far away, there were scratches left by her running on the vertical wall. They were claw marks that were ten centimeters long and about three centimeters deep, carved directly into the hard wall.

"It's better not to make her angry in the future." Xiao En silently warned himself in his heart.

He finally saw it.

There are only two rookies here, one is him and the other is William. William may be a little bit stronger than him.

But as a warrior, he is just a powerful meat shield in the early stage.

Rumble!
About a few hundred meters away, a three-story building collapsed directly, and then the huge monster with many whip-like tentacles on its head emerged. It was the offspring of a black goat, a mythical creature, a creation of the old days, and also a very dangerous predator in the weird kingdom.

Xiao En felt a slight mental tingling just by looking at it.

Being a highly inspired person has both advantages and disadvantages.

The battle over there was not something they could intervene in. The Death Patrolmen flew around the monsters. Because the enemy was a high-level creature of the Flesh and Blood Path (a mythical species), many flesh and blood abilities were ineffective against it. Only the more powerful Night's Watch were qualified to join the battle.

Xiao En couldn't see clearly.

On the one hand, it was because there were buildings blocking the view, and on the other hand, it was because other people were moving too fast.

What is particularly eye-catching is a woman in a fiery red windbreaker. Her figure is flying in the air and occasionally appears behind the monster. There is no sign of her movements at all. She should be a high-sequence extraordinary person in the spellcasting department.

There is also a big guy on the ground.

He looked a bit like Jason Tangel whom he met today, but Sean couldn't be sure because he looked to be nearly three meters tall. Although a little small compared to the behemoth in front of him, his physique completely crushed everyone else nearby.

"Barbarians of the Fury Sequence?" Sean was not sure.

The opponent looked a bit like the Abomination fighting the Hulk, with extremely exaggerated muscles all over his body, completely a dark red devil muscle man. Even the bones in his body had changed, with some bones extending out protective scales, which was a high-level ability of the flesh and blood side. The extraordinary nature usually came from the superior evil creatures.

His strength is exaggerated.

It was the first time that Xiao En saw someone smash a house into pieces with just one axe.

"Don't come near, meow." Daisy stopped Sean who wanted to see more clearly.

In a battle of that level, low-sequence transcendents had better not get too close, as a piece of flying debris could seriously injure them.

Sean had no way of identifying the fiery red woman's magical abilities.

However, as her figure appears, violent explosions will occur on the battlefield. The power is so great that the raised dust has begun to obscure the vision, and the ground is full of potholes.

Hey.

Benjamin appeared, his body covered in blood, but he was not injured, holding the black umbrella in his hand.

"Mimic?" Benjamin's face changed slightly after he landed.

He looked at the other people in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Nothing happened, right?"

For a while.

Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao En behind them.

Xiao En nodded slightly and said, "Captain. It has been resolved."

This is true.

William breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and took his hand off the gun handle.

Another muscular figure appeared on the roof not far away. He was a man in his thirties with a stern face, wearing a beret and holding a sniper rifle in his hand. Xiao En was definitely not mistaken. It was definitely a sniper rifle, a bit like the style from World War II.

The man's eyes were very sharp, like an eagle. He placed his finger on his forehead and raised it slightly. After greeting Benjamin, he jumped directly from the third floor.

"Ranger Path?"

Xiao En saw the double knives worn on the other party's waist. Of course, he was not coveting these, he was coveting the sniper rifle in the other party's hand.

The control of guns in the Kingdom of Dorne should be relatively strict. Ordinary patrolmen do not carry guns, and most of the police weapons are revolvers. This is the first time Sean has seen a large firearm.

The Ranger is a natural marksman.

Among the low-sequence extraordinary people, their combat power is in the first echelon, and they are very strong as long as they have guns and bullets.

"Every path for a transcendent is to push one's strengths to the limit."

"It does take a lot longer for the wizard path to take shape."

Sean looked at Jima not far away. The other party should be a wizard of extraordinary level 6-10. After digesting the extraordinary essence of the second stage, the wizard's combat power was truly revealed.

The battle on the other side has come to an end.

There were about five or six high-sequence Death Patrolmen besieging the Black Goat Offspring. Sean could only capture the figures of three of them. One of them was almost invisible the entire time, and even when he attacked, his invisibility was not exposed. Sean was not sure whether he was a human being, because the other party was like a strange shadow.

Not far away, William brought over a short young man. The man who had called for help before should be a wild supernatural being, like a private detective. William also found a crumpled notebook on him.

"Captain." William handed the notebook to Benjamin.

Benjamin reached out and took it, took a quick look at it, then frowned slightly and handed it to Xiao En, saying, "Take a look."

This is an account book with messy handwriting.

There was nothing unusual to be seen from it, but the moment Xiao En touched it, his own spirituality reacted.

Not right.

There is something wrong with this account book.

The inspiration of an investigator is a very metaphysical thing. Most investigators cannot see the supernatural weirdness directly like Sean. Many investigators rely entirely on their intuition to track strange events, and occasionally even need to rely on their sixth sense to find clues.

Xiao En understood this ability as an 'inspiration check'.

The most important inspiration test in an investigator's daily work is whether something is related to strange events, or whether the person has direct contact with strange creatures.

Many investigators must rely on 'flash of inspiration' to find clues.

But following your feelings is also dangerous because it can make you crazy.

"The investigator's inspiration check is actually equivalent to directly perceiving the traces left by the strange existence."

“Very dangerous behavior.”

Xiao En is now hesitating whether he should have a flash of inspiration and pass the inspiration test.

In the current situation, the strange incident has actually already broken out. If he had risked an Inspiration Check before everything started, looking for clues to stop it from happening, then it would definitely be worth a try. But in this situation, if he passed an Inspiration Check, it might not be worth the effort, and he might even end up looking for clues that are no longer useful.

——Detect emotions.

"Where did this thing come from?" Sean stared at the private detective in front of him.

He had his arms locked by William and looked very nervous.

The short private detective stammered, "I found it from my employer!... She said her husband has been acting strange lately... Let me investigate..."

Ok?
Xiao En frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "Tell me more details."

William exerted force instantly, and the private detective screamed.

"Stop... It hurts!..." The man in front of him screamed and said hurriedly: "My employer found that her husband's behavior has been a little abnormal recently... and he hasn't been close to her for a long time... She suspects that her husband is cheating on her and has a lover outside!..."

“She gave me a 100 dinar deposit to investigate.”

"I secretly followed her husband for several days and did not find that he had a lover outside."

“I only found this account book.”

Xiao En looked through the account book again. There was a purchase list on it. The items were very messy, the notes were scribbled, and some of the handwriting was hard to recognize, but there were quite a few lists for various meat offal, and there were also several purchases of candles.

"Some of the things inside look like ritual items."

Were the ritual props for summoning those monsters purchased by the owner of this notebook?
Benjamin immediately said to William: “Leave him to Alyssa.”

The battle here was basically over. Some people were cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with the monster corpses. Sean saw Jason Tangel. He was indeed the one who looked like a hateful giant, a transcendent from the barbarian path.

Alyssa was a beautiful exotic woman whom he had met that day. Just a glance from her made the private detective in front of him look obsessed and confused, and he answered almost every question.

"Split up." Benjamin walked over quickly and said in a deep voice, "The target has escaped."

"There are only ceremonies arranged in advance here."

clang.

The bell rang and the mirror-like space shattered.

When Xiao En regained consciousness, he had returned to the real world. In the distance was a bustling crowd and he could hear the cries of vendors below.

Ordinary people were unaware of all this; they didn't even know that a disaster had just ended.

The battle just now did not affect the real world at all.

"Go to the warehouse." Benjamin said.

Benjamin, Sean and Daisy went straight to the warehouse, while Jima and William went to investigate the owner of the account book.

The other Night's Watchmen acted separately, while the Death Patrolmen continued to track the traces left by the enemy. Now they couldn't even find the enemy's true body. Dorne had not encountered such a troublesome polluter for many years.

storehouse.

After getting closer to here, Xiao En's spirituality began to shine. He locked onto one of the warehouses almost without any identification, relying entirely on inspiration.

"Here." Xiao En said.

Benjamin broke into the room directly, and with a dull bang, a dark and bloody picture appeared before his eyes. A cruel blood sacrifice ceremony was arranged here. Black stains spread in the shape of trees. In the center was a lamb dedicated to a certain existence. Their flesh and blood had turned into black wood, their feet were like roots, and their bodies turned into tree trunks. The empty human faces had become blurred, and all the bodies were entangled together, like a weird black tree stump.

"Seal off the scene immediately." Benjamin turned to Daisy and said.

After saying that, he looked at Xiao En and said, "Find some clues."

After Xiao En entered here, his inspiration began to flash wildly and the knowledge in his brain was whispering. When he reached out to touch the corpse that had turned into a black tree, a gray mist seemed to emerge in his mind for an instant. As the mist dissipated, a psychic picture flashed by.

"Owner."

Xiao En saw a group of kneeling people, both men and women. In front of them was a dark and thin figure. His bald head seemed to be covered with a layer of mucus, and something seemed to be wriggling under his collar.

When Sean came to his senses, Benjamin was already beside him.

"Did you find anything?" Benjamin asked.

Xiao En hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I seem to see a group of people whose minds are controlled."

His Inspiration check seemed a bit exaggerated, which was beyond the scope of the Inspiration check.

Last time, he didn't seem to have this ability.

Is it because of touching Sealed Object No. 1?
Knowledge seemed to become unusually active today, and Xiao En even felt that it was whispering.

Domination spell.

A mind-controlling ability. The subject will do his best to fulfill the ruler's orders. Apart from daily activities necessary for survival, such as eating and sleeping, he will not be distracted to do other things. Due to this activity restriction, the subject can be judged by observing his words and expressions to see if he is abnormal.

The employer of the private detective noticed something unusual in her husband's behavior because he hadn't had any intimate activities with her for a long time.

According to Sean's judgment, the enemy is most likely a polluter of the wizard path or the spiritual path.

No matter which one it is, it's a formidable opponent.

Dorne has a population of millions, and most of the people here can be easily controlled by him. Except for obvious suicidal orders, others will obey almost all of his orders.

Sean is a transcendent of the wizarding path, and he knows too well how terrifying the powers of the high-level wizarding path and the spiritual path are.

If it is a spiritual channel, one can even turn a group of strangers into one's slaves in an instant.
