You know, the first 20-10 of the serial numbers are all epic-level abilities. The owners are basically strong men who are in charge of one side. If they can really advance, it will be like a pie falling from the sky.
Got it!
This is crazy!
It's incredible!
But the "Guilty Manual" that appeared in his mind today has shattered the "world view" that Higashinohara had finally rebuilt in the past half a year. He no longer hesitated. Anyway, this source of power was obtained for nothing with the newcomer's gift package. With a single thought, he decisively removed it.
The only source of power point was added.
[Do you want to spend 1 source point to advance to the Crimson Eye? 】
【confirm】
In an instant, the originally gray [Crimson Eye] in the ability bar in his mind suddenly trembled violently, and the characters blurred one by one, and then suddenly each word bloomed with a dazzling purple brilliance.
[Advanced successfully]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining new abilities]
【Nine Eyes and Six Paths】
Serial number:16
Currently open:
First sight: 360-degree long-distance vision, seeing through the opponent's moves, including not limited to spells, sword shapes, and trajectory movements of elemental abilities.
The first path: Hell; it can drag the target into a hell-like endless nightmare for a short time. When the illusion is too real, it can cause a certain amount of physical damage.
hiss-!
Higashinohara stared blankly at the new ability in his mind, and suddenly felt a gasp of horror. The epic ability at the top of the serial number was indeed so terrifying. He just opened "One Eye" and it was no less than
The original crimson pupil.
No wonder those big pirates with epic abilities can roam freely and dominate the world. Some small countries ruled by strong men can even separate themselves and violate the jurisdiction of the world government of gods and humans.
He exchanged a point of free prostitution for the ability of the top 20 serial numbers.
This wave... makes a lot of money!
...
"Higashino-kun, thank you for the valuable information you provided and your heroic performance during the arrest. The financial department of the Metropolitan Police Department will credit the bonus to your personal account in seven working days."
Suddenly, words rang in my ears.
Don't look at the surprises that Higashinohara encountered in the "Guilty Manual" in his mind, but under the time flow rate of 60:1, in reality it was just a blink of an eye, and no one noticed his brief absence and the flash in his eyes.
A fleeting red light.
"Oh! Thank you so much."
"Haha, it's our turn to thank you. We have been hunting this guy for several days."
"..."
After some "heart-to-heart talk," and after confirming that the reward money for the wanted manhunt would be paid into his account at the New Tokyo Central Bank in full, Higashinohara left without saying a word.
Before leaving, he also noticed Mai Aragaki of the third investigation team.
This didn't surprise him at all. The unscrupulous uncle who ran the detective agency talked about his daughter Mai Aragaki, who graduated from Takehara Minami Private Academy and was sent to the Third Investigation Team as an intern through a relationship, almost every day. Higashinohara
My ears were almost filled with cocoons, but I didn't expect to meet here by chance, so I nodded and said hello.
...
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Higashinohara took the tram back to Ogawa-cho, Edogawa-ku, New Tokyo's 23rd ward. After getting off the tram and walking for about ten minutes, he arrived in front of a five-story apartment building.
This apartment building looks to have aged well, and the dim lights in the corridor flicker on and off. You can make a horror movie without having to worry about setting the scene. The property rights of the entire building belong to Aragaki Satoru, the president of Aragaki Detective Agency.
All - that is, the unscrupulous uncle who Higashinohara calls him is sloppy, lustful, smokes, drinks, gambles, and often talks nonsense.
Aragaki's office is on the third floor. Higashinohara glanced at his phone when he went upstairs. Sure enough, he received several urging messages. They were probably asking why he hadn't come back so late to take a photo. He was too late to get half a month's rent exemption.
I was about to reconsider changing it to one week, and I told Higashinohara that it would be enough. They were not doing documentary reporting and didn’t need to go too far into filming, so they didn’t let him shoot the 18-ban content...
Of course, if it really happens, he also has a friend who wants to be healthy...
The friend you are talking about is not you, is it?
Higashinohara didn't reply to the message. He went up to the third floor and turned the corner of the corridor. He saw a sign of "New Earth Detective Agency" hanging on the door of a room in the middle. Several flashing neon fonts were very eye-catching at night.
Oh, no, it's Xinyuan. Half of the lamps with the character "垣" were broken last week and haven't been repaired yet.
Higashinohara pushed the door open, and a middle-aged man in his forties jumped in front of him. He had sloppy half-long hair and a beard. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand and swinging his feet up on the desk in front of him.
.
The TV next to me was playing a horse race held by New Tokyo Racecourse. Judging from the drunken look, I guess it was because I lost money betting on horse racing.
Tsk! I really don’t know when he can export this apartment building.
"Welcome! Aragaki Detective Agency is here to serve you wholeheartedly..."
Aragaki Satoru noticed the movement coming in, and immediately put his foot down. Halfway through the introduction, he suddenly returned to his lazy and unscrupulous uncle look, and changed his words with a smile, "Hey! It's Higashino-kun, why are you here so late?
When I came back, I was still worried that you might accidentally get caught by the police, and I was thinking about whether I should use my connections to get you..."
Higashinohara ignored Aragaki Satoru's nonsense and took out the mobile phone Aragaki Satoru had equipped him from his bag, "Here, it's all here. I only pay half of next month's rent."
"Wait! Let me take a look first..."
Aragaki Satoru took the phone, skillfully found the photo album and opened it. He browsed one by one, and the expression on his face gradually became more exciting. After reading it, he shook his head and sighed, "Immortal jump? What a good guy... too
It's so miserable, it's really unbearable..."
"Then are you going to give these photos to his wife?" Higashinohara asked before going out.
Aragaki Satoru's face immediately showed a serious look, as if his professional ethics had been insulted, "Higashino-kun, as a detective! Honesty is the only moral character we need to abide by."
Will you still be honest without giving me money?
Higashinohara complained in his mind and turned around to go upstairs. Aragaki Satoru sat back with a smile and picked up the phone, probably informing his employer that he had completed the task.
...
After leaving the detective station, Higashinohara carried his bag upstairs.
He lived in a side room on the fifth floor and walked up the corridor to take out the key.
But when he opened the door in the dim light, I don't know if it was the effect of his newly acquired ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] - Higashinohara didn't turn around, but he noticed a rustling figure in the corner of the dim corridor behind him.
After opening the door, he realized something and did not go back to the room immediately. He walked over and muttered, "That guy is really stingy. I asked him to change the voice-activated lights in the west half of the corridor a long time ago and he was still dragging his feet.
"Pull"
After getting closer, through the turbid yellow light behind her, the outline of a little girl with blond hair and jewel-like green eyes gradually became clear - she looked about five or six years old, wearing a dirty dress in the late autumn of November.
She was wearing a dirty goose-yellow velvet dress and was very thin. She was squatting in front of a pile of wooden boards on the edge of the corridor while carrying a small cartoon schoolbag.
Higashinohara recognized the little neighbor girl on the same floor, her name was Nishimaru Miria. He had heard people in the apartment building talking about her mother being smuggled over from the Grand Duchy of Sayash, and she disappeared not long after she was born.
Shunsuke Nishimaru, the biological father, works as a busboy in a nightclub in Shibuya District. He is idle and gambles a lot on weekdays. When he is drunk, he often scolds his daughter for dragging oil bottles and dragging him down, but he has never hit his children.
Well, I guess I haven't gotten off work yet at this point.
Speaking of which, after studying the geography of this world for the past six months, Higashinohara still had some impressions of the "Grand Duchy of Sayash" to which Nishimaru Miria's mother belonged. It was a country located in the northwest of Wano.
It is different from Planet Aquamarine where I lived in my previous life.
The world that Higashinohara currently lives in is a cross-section of two continents, dividing the entire world into four sea areas: southeast, southeast, and northwest. Wano Country is located near the sea where the two continents in the eastern hemisphere meet.
Hmm... It sounds a bit like the layout of "One Piece" in the previous life, but it's a pity that there is no great route.
There are pirates in the four major sea areas. For example, the two major pirate groups in the East China Sea, which is adjacent to the Kingdom of Wano, have leaders who are in the top 36 in ability order and whose personal strength is at level six or above.
The goal of the pirates in this world is not a "one piece". Most of their ancestors were the anti-foreign warriors who were defeated in the "war against the aliens" by the gods who invaded this world more than a thousand years ago.
Now, being wanted by the World Government established by the Celestial beings, they cannot survive and can only make a living by wandering on the sea. However, after more than a thousand years, most pirates have forgotten their ancestors' legacy and original intention to overthrow the rule of the Celestial beings' government.
In contrast, among the more than 300 allies on the mainland, there are a few revolutionary armies that have inherited the last wishes of the patriots who fought against the foreigners, and are active underground in some remote small countries, plotting to overthrow the rule of heavenly beings...
What I have to say here is that judging from Higashinohara's current understanding of world history, except for countries like Wano that have a decent cooperative (father-son) relationship with the World Government of Heaven and Earth, they are relatively peaceful internally.
Some other small countries on the mainland are either suffering from constant civil strife, or the coastal areas are ravaged by pirates, or under the high-pressure rule of the Tianren World Government, the forces of the revolutionary army are rising and falling like sparks, and they are suppressed one after another.
Anyway, few people can live in peace of mind.
This is the case in the Grand Duchy of Sayash. In the past hundred years, the domestic revolutionary army has been prosperous and civil strife has continued. It is no wonder that Nishimaru Miria's mother smuggled herself to Wano Country.
...
In the dark corridor on the west side.
Sensing Higashinohara's footsteps, Nishimaru Miria stood up like a frightened cub, and turned her head in panic. When she vaguely saw Higashinohara's face, her pink little face suddenly showed a little joy.
"Ah! Are you big brother? Good evening."
"Good evening, Xiao Weili."
Higashinohara also said hello, and looked down at a few broken wooden boards in the corner - they seemed to have been picked up from the abandoned construction site behind the apartment building, and were built into a simple shack, with three dirty beasts crawling inside.
The scruffy little kitten, probably abandoned by the young man who moved the building, was meowing cautiously when he noticed the stranger approaching.
Higashinohara turned his head and glanced at the locked door, and couldn't help but sigh, "Did your father forget to give you the key again?"
"Well..." The little girl lowered her head.
Higashinohara shook his head after hearing this.
Shunsuke Nishimaru has been in arrears with rent for less than half a year. Every time Satoru Aragaki came up to demand the rent, he said he would pay it all at once when he won the money. He was nowhere to be seen on weekdays. I guess Aragaki Satoru did not forcibly take back the room for the sake of Nishimaru Miria.
He was thinking about whether he should go to my house just like last time, wait for your father to come back, and have something to eat. Otherwise, if Shunsuke Nishimaru got addicted to gambling after work, the little guy would have to sit at the door all night.
.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Nishimaru Miria was stunned for a moment, then shook her little head, a happy smile appeared on her pink face and said, "I have a family... Look, big brother!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and pointed at the shabby little wooden shack in the corner - Higashinohara then noticed that there was a slightly cleaner small wooden sign hanging on the small shack, with several crooked children's fonts written in colored pens.
.
【Miri's house】
"Welcome to my home, big brother."
The little girl said in a childish voice.
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but touch her blond head, "Thank you, Xiaomi-ri's home is very beautiful."
"Keke, it's nowhere to be found. It's still very crude."
A little embarrassed, Miria Nishimaru had a happy smile on her little face. This was probably the first time someone had complimented her on how beautiful her family was. Suddenly she remembered something, turned around, took off her small school bag, opened it, and lowered her head to rummage around.
"Brother, do you want some tea? I'll pour you some tea."
Higashinohara glanced over and saw that the packaging bag of half a piece of red bean bread was torn open, neatly folded and placed in a small schoolbag; next to it were two bottles of pure water, one half bottle and one full bottle unopened.
The little girl took out a full bottle, unscrewed it with difficulty, and handed it to Higashinohara expectantly.
Faced with the child's play-like reception, Higashinohara bent down to receive the water, squatted down, took a sip and said with a smile, "Thank you for the treat, the tea at Xiaomiri's house is really good."
Hearing this, Nishimaru Miria's pink face suddenly narrowed into a crescent moon smile.
Higashinohara was thinking in his mind while drinking water - it is probably because the little guy has a stronger self-esteem. Last time he invited her home a little recklessly and gave her food and drink, which damaged the little girl's self-esteem -
But she often couldn't enter her own home without a key, so she "entertained" herself in the small shack.
He was thinking about whether to play house with the little girl for a while, waiting for her father to come back from get off work. If it was too late, he would go down to find Satoru Aragaki. Although this unscrupulous uncle was not very serious on weekdays, he could still be relied on occasionally. of.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.
After a while, a man in his thirties walked up with a plastic bag in his hand and humming a tune. Next to Higashinohara, Miria Nishimaru's face lit up, and he opened his short legs to run over, but he took just two steps.
But he stood there timidly.
"Hey! My good daughter!"
Unexpectedly, Shunsuke Nishimaru didn't scold his daughter as usual when he saw her tonight.
Instead, he came over and lifted Nishimaru Miria over his head with both hands. He stared at her little face carefully and turned around excitedly. Then he put it on the ground and rubbed his daughter's head carelessly, laughing loudly and saying:
"Xiao Weili, let's see what delicious food dad brings you."
Nishimaru Miria looked down timidly, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on her face.
"Yeah! It's sushi! Miria likes sushi the most."
"I know you like it, so I'll eat enough tonight."
While saying this with a smile, Nishimaru Shunsuke also noticed Higashinohara, and actually scratched his head in surprise, "Eh? This guy... looks a bit familiar."
Higashinohara rolled his eyes inwardly.
Looking at Nishimaru Miria's face and the fact that she could not see her when she looked up or down on the same floor, he said politely, "Hello, Mr. Nishimaru, I live in Higashinohara on the east side. Since you are back, Miriam will give it to you."
You are welcome."
"Oh, brother, are you taking care of my daughter? Haha, I really don't know how to thank you."
"You're welcome, Xiao Weili is very well-behaved."
After Higashinohara finished speaking, he said hello and farewell to Nishimaru Miria, whose face was full of joy. After that, he picked up the handbag on the ground and turned around to walk back. Behind his ears, Nishimaru Miria asked in a childish voice:
"Dad, why did you get off work so early tonight? Don't you have to work overtime?"
Haha... This guy cheats his daughter into working overtime while gambling after get off work?
"No overtime! No overtime tonight! Hahaha, dad won't have to work overtime anymore." Nishimaru Shunsuke's answer was as exciting as if he had won the lottery.
"Really? That's great!"
Nishimaru Miria became excited, biting her little finger and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Dad, uncle Aragaki downstairs came up today and asked me...asked when we would pay the rent, and said that if we don't pay the rent next week, he will really evict us. Will we have no home?"
Nishimaru Shunsuke snorted when he heard this!
"That bastard! Don't you owe him half a year's rent? Don't worry! Dad will give it all to him in two days. Then Dad will take you to move and we will live in a big house. Who cares about his dirty and broken place?"
"Wow! Really?"
"Of course it's true! By the way, don't hang out with strangers if you have nothing to do in the future, haha... there are some good people living in a place like this."
"Ah...but dad, big brother, he..."
"..."
Higashinohara entered the room on the east side of the corridor. He felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't care. He was just surprised where he got the money to pay the rent. He guessed that he was lucky enough to win gambling tonight.
Speaking of which, he originally took care of Nishimaru Miria simply because the little girl was cute and pitiful.
In addition, I had just arrived here and the people were unfamiliar. Rather than looking after me, it was more like two lonely souls leaning together to warm each other.
...
After entering the room, Higashinohara first put down his handbag, and then went to the bathroom to wash up - the room was about 20 square meters, with one bedroom and one bathroom, and no living room or kitchen. Higashinohara slept on the tatami in the middle.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, it was half past ten.
Higashinohara took out the inventory of the small refrigerator and a can of coffee. In the past, he would fall asleep on time after drinking it. The effect of the caffeine would probably be left until the next morning to help him get up on time.
Regular work and rest and healthy.
But today, I helped Aragaki Satoru take a "private job" and met the cat-eared girl... No, the crime manual records that it seems to be a girl thief from the Tianhu tribe, who received the bounty, and there is another mystery in my mind.
Tested [Guidebook of Sin]...
All of this really happened too fast and suddenly.
Until this time, lying on the tatami at home, Higashinohara could digest all this with peace of mind.
After thinking for a while, his consciousness entered the [Guilty Manual] again.
[Ability: Shadow Instant, Nine Eyes and Six Paths]
[Character title: Follower of Justice (Sin Value X10) Duration 30 minutes]
[Status: Human body limiter (released)]
Attribute points: 0
Source point: 0
...
Character Titles Through this afternoon's actual battle, Higashinohara probably figured out that it is to add buffs to yourself during battle. The more "evil" the opponent is, the more powerful the buffs will be.
It's a pity that the female thief I met at night didn't seem evil enough, or maybe her basic attributes were too weak, so she relied on a bug to forcefully push her down and hold her down.
Well, what the hell is this human body limiter?
Released status?
Higashinohara was puzzled, his mind was immersed in it, and a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
[In the universe, organisms have limits that they cannot break with their own efforts. The Sin Manual indirectly breaks the shackles of the limiter by converting attribute points into sin values and directly adding points to improve them. The host can now obtain sin points through regular exercise.
Two ways to convert it into attribute points to improve your various attributes]
Um?
What is a surprise?
What a special surprise!
Higashinohara instantly lost his sleepiness and sat up straight away. The space at home was small, so he simply lifted up the tatami to make room and started doing the most primitive push-ups.
1234...50!
Huchihuchi—!
Higashinohara's physical fitness is already out of breath when he can do 50 push-ups. A normal person's physical fitness can be considered as if he can do more than 20 push-ups in one go, and more than 40 push-ups is excellent.
But this time he had another purpose. He gritted his teeth and squeezed all the strength from his body and sat for another 10. At the last moment when he reached the 60th limit, his whole body collapsed and fell to the ground. His forehead, chin and body were covered with smelly sweat.
.
Okay, I just took a shower for nothing.
Higashinohara, who had been malnourished for a long time and neglected to exercise, felt that his muscles all over his body were swollen and painful, as if his body was no longer his own. Before he could take a breath, he hurriedly entered the sin manual and read column by column from the attribute panel.
Finally, he finally found a change, and he couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye.
Physique:8.6+0.1↑
8.7.
Uh, it has improved...it seems that it has not improved.
This "devil training" that squeezed out every last bit of strength only resulted in an increase of 0.1?
After doing this kind of training once, he will probably have a hard time raising his arms tomorrow. Even if he can gradually adapt to it later, he probably won't be able to do it a few times in one night. If it continues at this level, the improvement will be too slow.
However, thinking that he only got 0.5 attribute points after taking one risk tonight, Higashinohara suddenly found some comfort in his heart.
What else can be done?
Just stay patient and develop slowly...
After all, being able to train on your own is much safer than taking the risk of finding those high-criminal outlaws.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara's thoughts moved slightly, and he turned the title page of the crime manual and landed on the page of his prisoner No. 001.
[Name: Charlie V. Prudence]
[Gender: Female]
[Race: Tianhu tribe mixed race]
[Racial Talent: Physical Skills Tianhu Six Styles]
[Ability: Serial Number 89 Crimson Eyes (can grow) - Dominate the opponent's body with mental power, issue orders of absolute obedience, and even modify the memory with enough level suppression]
[Character Level: Level 3, Level 1]
[Sin value: half star]
[Character profile (can be clicked to open)]
...
Um?
What is this character profile?
Do you want to open it and take a look?
Higashinohara's upper body muscles were sore at the moment, and he probably wouldn't be able to sleep in a short time.
He was also idle, so he thought slightly and clicked to open it.
Without any warning, Higashinohara's mind suddenly went dark, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled out of his body, sinking into another body in an instant.
The next moment, a frightening thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he actually felt a chill running down his spine.
