Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter VI Investigation Bureau
In the bedroom, before the game, Fang You recalled the thrilling battle of last night.
"Brother Black Knife killed the evil 'Knocking Boy' with two moves. It seems easy, but in fact... it is still quite dangerous."
“It’s mainly a matter of consumption.”
Fang You noticed last night that after Heidao used two "blade slash" moves to kill the boy knocking at the door, his breathing became much more rapid, and it was obvious that he had consumed a lot of physical energy.
After all, there is no mana bar on the panel.
He guessed that using skills requires physical strength, or both physical and mental strength.
This item is pending.
He can only verify it when he has the skills himself.
[Black Knife]
[Physique: 2.6]
〔Spirit: 1.2〕
[Mystery: 0.1]
[Skills: Basic Sword Skills (Beginner), Blade Slash (Beginner), Evil Tracking (Beginner)]
[Equipment: Novice Sword]
Well, it's not just a two-dimensional attribute. After the black knife killed , there was another line of "mystery". He had already searched the black knife inside and out last night, but couldn't figure out the mysterious function.
It seems to be just a decoration.
He was just guessing that mystery was roughly equal to experience.
After all, you gain experience by killing monsters, which... is reasonable.
Wait and see if there will be any changes in the future.
"I still have one physical secret potion, two double benefit cards, and four skill training cards left in my hand."
"Leaving aside the double income card, the other two items can be used on the black knife."
"Especially the skill training card. I can't use it but Black Knife can. According to the instructions on it, the effect is to improve the proficiency of a certain skill, which is equivalent to several months of hard training."
Awesome!
Fang Youke was very greedy, but unfortunately it could only be used on the black knife for now.
He had no reason to be reluctant to give it up. The wool comes from the sheep. Brother Black Knife was his only apostle of destiny. Without Brother Black Knife, he would be stuck.
It’s impossible for him to go on the field himself and still lose!
Fang You used the secret medicine.
[Hint: Give the Apostle of Destiny, Black Blade the "Secret Physical Potion", Black Blade's physical strength will increase from 2.6 to 2.8.]
The improvement is a bit low, probably because the Black Blade’s physique is too strong. The higher it is, the harder it is to improve, which is reasonable.
He wasn't too surprised.
He then picked up the "Skill Training Card" and used it on the black knife.
…
It was an empty space with only metallic walls on all sides.
Heidao was waving the sword in his hand, chopping, slashing, and thrusting... He was practicing the basic sword skills over and over again.
suddenly,
He paused, with astonishment, surprise, and more confusion in his eyes, but soon all of it fell silent.
Under the mask, he had no expression and no emotion.
He just continued to wield the basic sword skills, practicing mechanically and tirelessly.
So is the body, so is the mind.
It seems that I can maintain this posture and continue exercising for decades or even hundreds of years.
Until one moment, something inside the body seemed to explode.
…
[Hint: The black knife skill "Evil Pursuit" has been upgraded to the proficient level.]
[Hint: Black knife skill "Blade Slash" has been upgraded to proficient level.]
[Hint: Black knife skill "Basic knife skills" has been upgraded to proficient level, and physical strength has increased from 2.8 to 3.1.]
Fang You had no idea what Heidao was feeling at this moment.
In the non-delivery state, he cannot cut into Black Knife's perspective and can only see from the panel that Black Knife's skill proficiency has increased by a whole level.
From entry level to proficient level, it must be a big change, right?
"Evil Tracking" and "Blade Slash" are both key skills. Fang You immediately upgraded the black knife. After hesitating for a moment, he used a training card on "Basic Sword Skills".
He doesn't believe there are useless skills.
Sure enough,
"Can the improvement of basic skills also lead to an improvement in physical strength?"
"Maybe other skills will work too, but the improvement won't be so obvious?"
"So the improvement of basic swordsmanship, in addition to physical strength, may also make the black knife skills more exquisite?"
These were just his guesses.
There are only simple descriptions on the panel, which is not intuitive.
but,
Wait until Black Knife is sent on a mission, peek... and observe Black Knife's battle, and you'll get the answer.
…
Fang You gave Heidao a "rest" order.
He waited patiently for about two hours, during which time he played a few games. Looking at the big word "Failure" on it, Fang You silently threw his phone away.
"This crappy game ruined my youth!"
"I'd better go save the world."
He picked up the old mobile phone running the salvation game, opened the task dispatch module, and selected the task point closest to him.
One star mission.
The rest is all unknown.
Fang You was also a little nervous.
Brother Black Knife... can he kill this little evil creature?
〔bite!〕
[Hint: Please choose the apostle of destiny to send. Currently, you can choose "Savior of Destiny" or "Black Knife".]
Of course, you can choose both.
There are three black boxes on it.
Fang You chose the black knife and went solo.
[Hint: Since Black Blade is a special apostle, he needs to be delivered. Do you want to deliver this apostle of destiny? The current delivery locations are:]
〔①: Within a 100-meter radius centered on the Savior of Destiny.〕
〔②: Randomly delivered around the mission location.〕
…
Whoosh~!
The wind was howling and the sky was gradually becoming gloomy, as if indicating that something bad was about to happen.
"Why did it suddenly become cloudy? This is too bad."
"Brother Wei, what should we do? Should we wait until the sun comes out before going over?"
Two young men in black windbreakers crossed the outer cordon and walked into the construction site, which had already been suspended.
Ke Yuan, who looked a little younger, turned his head and asked.
The young man on the left has his hands in his extremely wide pockets, staring into the distance without blinking.
The entire construction site was very quiet.
There was no one in sight, only the wind blowing, as if I was cut off from the outside world.
"Wait? I can't wait."
"That thing is a time bomb that could explode at any time. We don't have time to wait. Moreover, there are residential areas around us. If that thing moves to a crowded place..."
Gurgle.
The young investigator Ke Yuan swallowed.
He also understood the seriousness of the incident, or rather, when it comes to that kind of thing, nothing is not serious.
Investigation Bureau.
The full name is the Paradoxical Events Investigation Bureau, also known as the Seventeenth Bureau, which is responsible for investigating and handling abnormal events that are hidden deep beneath the reality.
It was only established seven years ago.
But such abnormal incidents were very rare in the past. However, in recent months, the situation has suddenly become serious.
It was under such circumstances that Ke Yuan, a newcomer who had been trained for a period of time, was sent to the Investigation Bureau of Baijiang City some time ago.
I also investigated several incidents with Brother Wei.
However, the previous incidents were just suspicions, with only some abnormal traces. They did not find out whether existed.
It's hard to say.
It is common for investigations into strange incidents to yield no results, but there are also cases where investigations reveal that the incident was just a routine case or a man-made one.
Ke Yuan really hopes it is the latter.
Dealing with that kind of thing is always dangerous. Even though they are glorious investigators, they actually know very little about these things. They cannot be seen or touched, and once they are eliminated, they disappear into thin air as if they had never appeared. Only through repeated experience did they gain some understanding of that thing.
For this incident, other units sent some photos of the scene. After analysis and determination by the Municipal Investigation Bureau... the probability of such a thing existing at this construction site is as high as 99%!
If you don't touch it, there is only one possibility, that thing has moved!
Comparing the two, Ke Yuan hoped that he could meet him.
