Higashinohara woke up suddenly, but found that he still couldn't control his body.
But at this moment, I am not as drowsy as before and about to lose my last consciousness at any time. I just feel as if my soul is soaked in water, and my mind is peaceful and calm.
Binding?
Is this also the other party's ability?
After regaining consciousness, Higashinohara tried his best to calm down, but before he had time to think about it, the binding progress bar had been completed, and the ethereal voice in his mind continued to sound.
[Character title: Follower of Justice (sin value x10), duration 30 minutes]
[Physical condition: Human body limiter (blocked → released)]
[Attribute points: 0]
[Source point: 1 (newcomer reward)]
Higashinohara was a little confused when he looked at the panel. The words "extremely weak" listed after those attributes made him couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Just call me a weakling...
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a warning sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Warning: Target found!]
【Sin Manual 001】
[Name: Charlie V. Prudence]
【Gender: Female】
[Race: Tianhu tribe mixed race]
[Racial Talent: Physical Skills Tianhu Six Styles]

[Generating now, you can select the task... Generating completed: Capture the Tianhu girl Charlie V. Prudence who stole jewelry and bring it to justice. You can randomly obtain a prisoner's ability based on the crime value]
Mission description:
[Temporarily allocable attribute points: 5 (sin value 0.5X10)]
[Catch the criminal and bring him to justice, and the crime value can be turned into a permanent attribute point of 0.5, which can be freely allocated by the host]
.....
A girl from the Tianhu tribe?
etc!
Isn’t that the cat-eared girl we promised?
Uh... This doesn't seem to be the main point. The main point is this inexplicable crime manual in my mind, and what the hell is this arrest mission that is generated immediately? Could this be the one in the previous life's online article...
Higashinohara had read few novels in the past, but he still knew some jokes from surfing the Internet all the time, about the system of traveling through another world and descending from the sky, and the beautiful young man followed him one after another.
These are all basic things.
call--!
He tried to calm down, thinking that this might be possible... Bah! What's special about this must be that he, as a time traveler, arrived late to the system!
It's just that I came a little too late...
Higashinohara looked over the optional tasks carefully. He didn't dislike the rewards, but the difficulty of this task was a bit high.
It was obvious that he had been tricked just after a face-to-face encounter.
Arrest?
How to arrest?
You can't be rash, right?
At this time, Higashinohara suddenly noticed that there was a line of notes under the task published in the "Guilty Manual" in his mind.
[Note: The character’s honorary title [Follower of Justice] can provide the host with temporarily freely allocated attribute points of sin value
5 temporarily freely allocated attribute points?
Mission BUFF?
Well, the duration of half an hour is enough, but is 5 temporary free attribute points too few?
From the comments, it seems that the higher the opponent's evil value, the more attribute points he will have. It seems that this Catwoman thief is not evil enough...
Shaking his head, Higashinohara couldn't help but behave so cheaply, and carefully scanned his attributes page.
All of my attributes look miserable, except for agility, which barely got a weak rating, but even if I add 5 points to my 21.7 agility, there won't be much change, right?
The other party is still a rare psychic ability user, and he was hit the moment he met him. Can he really handle this Tianhu girl now?
Or think differently?
Higashinohara knows that although various abilities in this world are arranged according to serial numbers and are strictly hierarchical, serial numbers do not represent absolute combat effectiveness, and ability users with similar levels also interact with each other.
Since that Tmall girl possesses the pupil technique [Crimson Eye], she obviously belongs to the spiritual system, so she takes the right medicine and uses all 5 temporary attribute points on her will...
Although he knows how attribute points and ability user levels compare, maybe he can handle it?
Just as Higashinohara was thinking, the darkness around his mind gradually faded, and the surrounding environment gradually emerged - his body was slowly retreating, and the girl was also turning at a speed close to "five centimeters per second."
Head towards the exit and walk quickly.
Higashinohara quickly found the reason.
After he entered the Manual of Sin, time outside did not stand still, but passed slowly at a speed of about 1:60. That is, one minute passed inside and only one second outside.
Even so, if he hesitated for ten minutes, the girl from the Tianhu tribe would probably have left the station gate in those ten seconds, so it’s not too late...
Give it a try!
Higashino has been cautious in his behavior for more than half a year since he arrived in this strange world.
Even in school, he is careful to keep a low profile. The fundamental reason is his self-awareness of his own strength and the "gou" tactic he always had in mind when playing games in his previous life.
If you stay steady, you may win, but if you waste your time, you will definitely lose.
But it's different now.
A potentially life-changing opportunity is right in front of you.
Fight!
When Higashinohara added 5 temporary attribute points to Will, the Will in the [Guilty Manual] personal attribute panel immediately increased from 15.9 to 20.9.
At this moment, he seemed to feel some invisible and intangible black mist tentacles protruding from his mind, spreading like smoke in all directions, but the momentum was quickly stopped, and his will became stronger than ever.
At the same time, his thoughts moved slightly.
The surrounding images receded like a tide, and the real noisy voices, distant police sirens, and various images refilled every corner of Higashinohara's senses. This feeling of being stripped away and then stuffed back was novel.
Incomparable and incredible!
At this moment, under the command of [Crimson Eye], Higashinohara's body was still retreating with inertia, but when he regained consciousness, he suddenly stopped his momentum, kicked off his back foot suddenly, and an identical young man suddenly appeared next to him.
Shadow Instant! Activate!
In the next moment, two figures were like exploding arrows, rushing towards the girl in front of them under the astonished gazes of countless passengers around them.
At the station gate, Xia Li's heart suddenly tightened. The Tianhu tribe's crisis instinct made her slender and petite body tense up instantly. When she suddenly turned around, the pupils in her big eyes suddenly shrank.
He...how is that possible?
After a very brief moment of confusion, Charlie suddenly came to his senses, her eyes suddenly narrowed like a camera aperture and turned into a strange dark red, staring at one of the figures.
"Back off!!!"
In the girl's coquettish voice.
Silent energy fluctuations spread like ripples!
Higashinohara, who had climbed up, felt his mind buzzing, his vision went dark, and he almost lost consciousness instantly.
no!
He immediately realized that even if he added 5 points of willpower and brought his willpower to close to 21 points, he would only be able to withstand a third-level and first-level mental ability user for an extra moment to give himself time to react.
You will have to suffer a lot next!
what to do?!
At the critical moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Higashinohara's mind!
In his previous life, he was a player in the national server of Yamaguchi Mountain. What are the players in the national server best at?
Operation, technique, consciousness?
wrong!
At the moment when the remaining consciousness was about to disappear, Higashinohara thought in his mind and was unexpectedly pulled into the independent space of the "Guilty Manual".
As the lightning flashed to the dew, his thoughts moved slightly again, and his consciousness instantly left the sin manual and returned to his body, and he suddenly woke up!
One in and one out!
That’s right!
What Chinese players are best at...
Of course it’s a BUG!
...
Charlie, who was concentrating and working hard, noticed the boy's gradually dilated pupils and the sudden stagnation of his steps. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her pupils shrank like needles, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The next moment, she watched with disbelief as she watched the young man suddenly smile after his face stiffened. He rushed forward and pushed her down, and then he was pressed down heavily...
"Congratulations...you've been arrested!"
At the moment when her body couldn't help but lean back and lose weight, the boy's voice sounded faintly in Charlie's ears.
...
On the cold marble floor, Charlie stared blankly at the boy on top of her. The hood on her head slipped off, revealing short silver hair and pointed cat ears.
In an instant, many passengers around who were attracted by this sudden scene suddenly let out a burst of uncontrollable exclamations, followed by a burst of low-pitched discussions.
"What's going on? Is it a heavenly being?"
"Eh? He seems to be the thief on the wanted list recently!"
"She was right!"
"What a risk! The cunning celestial being almost escaped!"
"..."
Amidst the noisy discussion, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far to near, and then suddenly stopped with a sudden stop.
As expected, the third investigation team rushed over immediately.
Although the Third Investigation Team is affiliated with the Metropolitan Police Department, it is in fact an independent agency from the Metropolitan Police Department. It is directly responsible to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Its efficiency is amazing, and it is different from the police who only come in late to clear the ground afterwards.
Under a navy blue windbreaker, Director Sugita of the 13th Division of the 3rd Investigation Team, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, glanced at the 'subdued' thief on the marble floor of the station, but still frowned and said:
"Notify everyone to pay attention! Check the surrounding situation to prevent the suspect's accomplices from lurking. The Tianren Government's Adjudication Department will first send people to hold him back. I still have a few issues to investigate."
"Yes! Captain Sugita"
Next to her, a young intern girl with a long ponytail, Mai Aragaki, responded, conveying the order through the wireless channel quickly and swiftly, looking at Sugita Tsukasa with a look of admiration and envy.
He skipped a grade from Tokyo Central Super User Academy, one of the four universities in New Tokyo. At the age of 26, he became a fifth-level super user with a green ability [Devil May Cry] with a serial number of only 51st. He is also a powerful sword.
He is a soldier and even has great potential to obtain the honorary title of [Swordsman]. He was quickly promoted to captain less than two years after joining the third investigation team.
It can be said that life is never prone to setbacks and failures.
In comparison, she who finally graduated from Takehara Minami Private Academy and was recruited into the third investigation team by her father's connections was simply inferior. However, after completing the order delivery, Aragaki Mai's eyes swept across the station, and she suddenly stared at him in surprise.
The boy who lives on top of a girl at the station.
Why does this guy look... familiar?
Seemingly aware of Aragaki Mai's gaze, Sugita Tsukasa also looked over, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is he one of ours?"
Aragaki Mai was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head when she realized what she was doing.
"Report to the captain, no!"
"Who is that?" Sugita asked.
The person in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Assault Team nearby looked down at the positioning on the equipment and couldn't help but come up to him and whisper, "Captain Sugita, he seems to be... an enthusiastic citizen who provided clues to the suspect."
"Concerned citizens?"
At this moment, not only Sugita Tsukasa, but also the other members of the Thirteenth Division were stunned for a moment. Because this theft case involved heavenly beings, the superiors had specially handed it over to the elite Thirteenth Division in the group to handle.
They originally thought they would be able to catch the case, but it took them nearly a week. Every time they were about to find clues, the suspect would disappear under their noses, as if there was an invisible black hand quietly wiping their grasp.
Clues to solve the crime.
After receiving the report today, everyone in the 13th team took action as if they were on fire, fearing that they would miss the scene again this time.
But none of them expected that this time they missed the chance, and the suspect was controlled on the spot by an "enthusiastic citizen" who looked like a high school student...
This feeling...
Why does it feel a bit unpleasant?!
...
Higashinohara also noticed the people of the third investigation team at this time.
He lowered his head and glanced at the silver-white short-haired girl with cat ears, Xia Li, who had been pushed down by her own bug - the latter was staring at him bitterly with her lips biting her little tiger teeth, but it seemed that she had no intention of using her eye skills to resist.
.
Apparently he has resigned himself to defeat.
At this time, two uniformed men from the Thirteenth Division walked through the gate with weapons in hand.
Higashinohara stood up slowly, and the other party came forward to ask for his identity.
He simply took out the armband of the city discipline committee from his pocket - three white bars on a blue background, with the sword and shield logo in the middle. Everyone around him recognized it.
However, no one takes it for granted,
Instead, he was a little stunned.
Discipline members?
Isn't this similar to the volunteers who raise small flags at street intersections to help maintain traffic order? There are actually disciplinary committee members who take the lead and devote themselves to the front line of cracking down on illegal criminals?
This... is really rare!
As soon as Higashino got up, Mai Aragaki outside also reacted.
She stared straight at Higashinohara, and her mouth opened in an "O" shape involuntarily - this, this, this... this is not the Hokkaido high school student who lives in the attic of my house and looks like he is hungry and cold every day.
born?
He caught this Catwoman?!
...
Higashinohara works part-time as a discipline committee member in New Tokyo, and at the same time, he is studying at Takehara Minami High School and his student status can be checked... Well, although he faced the risk of being dismissed, he successfully completed the identity registration quickly.
As for why they are immune to Catwoman's mind control, the students at Takehara Minami Private Academy are all people with various abilities, and presumably they have their own strengths.
The attention of the third investigation team quickly shifted from him to the female thief on the ground. They pulled Xia Li up very vigilantly. Someone came up from behind and quickly rubbed her neck with his hands and feet, wearing a
A necklace made of dark gold material was attached.
Higashinohara knew that thing, which was said to be the biggest invention in the police world three hundred years ago - the ability suppressor.
Once a person wears one, their superpowers will be restrained. Some superpowers who do not practice physical skills are no match for ordinary strong men. It can be said that it has greatly reduced the difficulty for the Metropolitan Police Department to detain superpowers.
Of course, this also depends on the situation.
The higher the level of the ability user, the weaker the effect of the controller. If you want to take them into custody, you can only rely on manpower and material resources to make up for it. The "good news" is that high-level ability users are rare. Even if you commit a crime, it may not be so easy.
Can be caught.
However, when the people of the third investigation team took away Charlie, Higashinohara inadvertently glanced at the first fugitive captured by himself. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see something on the girl's face.
A look of relief.
Um?
Was it because he was condemned by his conscience when he was on the run?
Relief after being arrested?
Higashinohara was thinking in his mind when suddenly there was a sound of turning pages in his mind. The "Guilty Manual" was turned over and stopped on the first page of Charlie's information.
[Congratulations on completing the host capture mission]
【Start settlement...】
[Attribute point reward: 0.5 (can add points freely)]
[Ability reward: Crimson Eyes (can consume source power points to advance)]
Crimson eyes?
"Is this a skill book?"
Higashinohara recalled the tasks and rewards mentioned by the system before, and quickly reacted, his heart suddenly beating violently.
Everything that just happened was too sudden.
At first, he only stood up because he didn't want to lose his reward because of the bonus. Who would have thought that the other party could control him with just one face-to-face meeting. At the critical moment, another "Guilty Manual" popped up in his mind.
Although the reward appeared in his mind now, he was still worried. The ups and downs in his life were so sudden that it felt a bit unreal when he thought about it afterwards.
Then... try adding some more?
Higashinohara glanced at the attribute bar of his character panel:
[Ability: Shadow Instant, Crimson Eyes (can be upgraded 0/1)]
[Character title: Follower of Justice (sin value x10), duration 30 minutes]
[Physical condition: Human body limiter (released)]
[Attribute points: 0]
[Source point: 1 (newcomer reward)]
From the current point of view, perhaps because of his ability [Shadow Instant], only his agility attribute is relatively visible, and he has received "weak" praise.
Higashinohara is very aware that balance sometimes means mediocrity. With limited attribute points, he must make a choice and maximize his advantages.
Then there is no need to choose.
He decisively added all 0.5 free attribute points to agility. The moment the idea came up, +0.5↑ appeared in the agility column on the panel.
Agility: 22.2 (weak)
Although there was only a 0.5 attribute increase, at this moment, Higashinohara felt as if a strange electric current was passing through his body, and there was a numbness in his mind, and soon his whole body suddenly became a little lighter.
It seems like...it really works?!
Higashinohara suddenly felt happy, and his active mind immediately fell into thinking again.
He knew that his attribute panel was a mess, except for his agility, which was probably due to his speed ability [Shadow Instant] which improved his agility.
But as we all know, Shadow Instant is an ability that cannot be advanced in the ability sequence list.
But now that I am improving my agility by adding points, does that mean I can reversely forcibly improve the ability sequence of [Shadow Instant] by improving my agility?
There seems to be nothing wrong with the logic...
Sure enough, God has thrown me into this inexplicable world, and it is impossible for me to fend for myself. He has completely ignored how many times he cursed God when he first came to this world and was in a difficult situation.
At this moment, Higashinohara was not in a hurry to exit the [Guilty Manual], and moved his eyes to the [Crimson Eye] that exploded from Charlie in the ability column of the Guilty Manual panel.
In this world, people with abilities are either born with abilities, can be awakened through training, or can be awakened by using the fruits of abilities created through scientific research.
In comparison, relying on ability fruits is almost like being a guinea pig. Obtaining abilities is more dangerous and not so easy to control. There are countless examples of sudden death after ability disorders.
It can be said to be an act of gambling on life.
But no matter which one it is, most people can only awaken one kind of ability - it is not impossible to awaken the second ability, but it has been rare for more than a thousand years.
He now has the ability of [Shadow Instant]. Is this manual that appears in his mind out of nowhere really so magical? Can it actually allow him to have a second ability?
Higashinohara didn't need to think too much at this time. As soon as his thoughts moved, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his left eye, as if he had turned into a demon that controlled people's hearts, and he immediately canceled his ability.
This reward is really implemented!
call-!
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt a surge of joy in his heart again.
To be honest, although he came to this world for more than half a year and gradually adapted to the environment with an optimistic attitude and "UPUP" encouragement in his heart, he occasionally felt that his strength was low and he had no one to rely on.
I always feel that if I can’t handle it, I’ll end up dead in Tokyo one day.
But today is different.
Although the serial number of this Crimson Eye is only ranked 89, not even among the top 72, he is now a dual-talented ability user.
In addition, the Guilty Manual does not have any restrictions on "ability slots", so in other words... I will have a lot to do in the future!
Of course, the premise is that you can't die for the mission.
Higashinohara stabilized his mind, and his eyes once again fell on the words "expend source power points to advance" behind the crimson pupil with slight confusion, and then moved his eyes to the column of his own source points.
[Source point: 1 (newcomer reward)]
I have never obtained the so-called source of power points. See the newbie reward notes later...maybe this is the "newbie gift package"?
Can it be advanced?
He carefully recalled the ability sequence list he had seen in the electronic reading room of Takehara Minami High School. The spiritual pupil ability Crimson Eyes with serial number 89 seemed to be an ability that could be advanced.
