Lin En was in a daze for a while, even wondering if his [Peeper's Eye] was malfunctioning.
The corruption value can actually reach [400]?!
The most important thing is how come there are so many [Transcendents]?!
Counting Captain Quentin, there were five of them, and apart from these five, he had only seen Reiner, the other [Transcendent] in so long.
"How is it?" Lena asked again.
"We have to retreat." Linn instinctively retreated and hid behind a building.
"It's the Divine Enlightenment?!" Reiner guessed when he saw Lin En was so afraid.
Lin En shook his head and took a few seconds to calm down his emotions: "...No, but the situation is not much better. In addition to the owner of the mansion, the other three people who came out... are also extraordinary people."
"Yeah, too?" Reiner couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "Why are there so many? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I also hope that I am wrong, but really, among the people who came out, except for that servant, they are all extraordinary people." Lin En rubbed his eyes and quietly poked his head to take a look.
Confirmed.
Four [Extraordinary Ones].
Reiner didn't know what to say.
Facing two [Transcendents] at the same time, you have to go all out. If you are going against five [Transcendents], before you are promoted to [Divine Inspired Ones] and open up a big enough gap, it will be the same.
Seeking death.
Not to mention, they couldn't confirm whether there were still cleaning staff in the mansion. And whether there were cleaning staff like Quentin in other places who had not yet returned.
This is most likely a large organization of cleanup crews.
Lin En watched those people linger briefly at the door and then returned to the mansion. He breathed a sigh of relief: "We can only make the worst plan. We will clear out Boss Xin and his gang first, and then go directly to Laizein."
"...Hmm." Reiner was a little unwilling, but more helpless.
In fact, once you go to Lezein, the possibility of coming back is very slim.
After all, they will grow and become stronger in subsequent missions, and the group of cleanup crews entrenched in Joseph City will also continue to grow.
The gap in strength is always relative.
The least effective method is nothing more than waste.
When they fail and die during a certain mission, the organization falls apart.
But this has nothing to do with them and is beyond their control.
And no one can guarantee that it will be others who die in the end, not yourself.
At the moment, there is only one way left for them, which is to sit back and watch this group of "similar people" who have colluded together after they have more powerful abilities to do whatever they want.
"Don't be discouraged." Linn keenly felt Reiner's feeling of powerlessness, and he felt the same way. "It's useless to think about things beyond our capabilities. It's better to concentrate on doing what we can."
"We are still too weak." Reiner rarely felt that he was a weakling.
"You have to do it step by step." Lin En said.
Reiner walked towards the hotel: "Do you think we should also establish an organization to bring together more like-minded clean-up personnel?"
"If this condition exists, of course it is the best." Lin En followed.
"Condition, what do you mean?"
"It means that there are really like-minded people. If there are too few, wouldn't it be possible to do this?" Lin En said.
He has a unique advantage in screening.
One person is not a cleanup crew.
Is a cleanup person honest?
None of this can escape the detection of his [Eye of the Peeper].
The only question is what I just said, are there honest cleanup personnel? If so, how many are there?
The city of Tswold is a place full of depravity. Can a big dye vat like the Imperial Capital Lezein be better or worse?
At least for now, everything is unknown.
"How did you say they got together? Is there any place we can refer to?" Reiner didn't want to understand.
Joseph City is a small place to begin with. According to the proportion, the number of cleanup personnel is not much, and the number of [Transcendents] should be even less.
Under such objective conditions, it is very unreasonable to guarantee that five [extraordinary people] will join the group to keep warm.
If they could find out how each other got to know each other, they might be able to set up an organization in a relatively short period of time even after going to Lezein.
"There are two possibilities." Lin En analyzed. "Joseph City is small and a palm-sized place, so it is easy for the people who triggered the task to bump into each other, so it is natural for them to get acquainted. Or, one of them has the ability to identify similar people.
.”
"Your ability is not bad. When the next mission is completed, I will exchange it for one." Reiner decided to master this ability and lay the foundation for establishing an organization.
"I hid some information from you before." Now, Lin En decided to reveal his [Peeper's Eye] ability to Reiner. "This is actually an ability given to me by a mysterious existence. I call it the Peeper's Eye."
Hitomi. It can help me identify whether everyone is depraved, whether they are my kind, and their level."
"Did the mysterious existence give it to you?" Reiner paused and looked at Linn in surprise.
"Well, so I don't know how many points are needed to redeem it. It's also because I knew you were an upright person early on, so I took the initiative to get to know you." Lin En admitted.
The reason why he revealed his trump card to Reiner was not because he felt that he could no longer hide it.
Instead, he realized that it was lucky for Reiner to meet him, and it was equally lucky for him to meet Reiner.
In the midst of corruption, it is extremely rare for two people with common ideals to meet and become comrades-in-arms.
If he had to hide his secret in front of Reiner, then he felt that he would have to keep the existence of the "Eye of the Peeper" in his heart for the rest of his life.
"You mean, before you became a transcendent, a mysterious existence gave you an ability?" Reiner grasped the key.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I don't know." Lin En also wanted to know the answer. "If it weren't for this ability, the previous tasks wouldn't have been so easy to complete."
Reiner had felt that there was something extraordinary about Lin En a long time ago. Now with Lin En's revelation, his intuition was finally confirmed: "So, after you became a transcendent, you were given another ability by a mysterious existence.
, without spending any points, I already have two trump cards.”
"Well... there are three." Lin En wanted to be as tactful as possible so as not to shock Reiner too much. "After becoming a transcendent, the mysterious existence gave me two more abilities."
"Two?!" Reiner almost shouted on the deserted street.
"Yes."
"You...why is this?" Reiner couldn't help but ask the question that Linn had already answered.
"I really don't know, but according to this rule, if I can become a divine enlightener, I should gain more abilities and become more powerful than others of the same level." Lin En looked forward to his future objectively.
In the future, "Being strong is enough for me."
Reiner looked at Linn in disbelief. Linn simply overturned his current understanding of mysterious existence: "Have you never asked the curator of the mysterious space?"
"He said he had no comment." Lin En shrugged, "I guessed that maybe the mysterious existence is more optimistic about me, or maybe there is something special about me that even I don't know about."
"Oh my god... you are an anomaly - this is a compliment." Reiner regained his composure. He envied Lin En and was also sincerely happy for him. "In this way, your growth rate will become faster and faster. I'm afraid
It won't take long before you can surpass me."
"Now I am indeed trying to get in touch with higher-level tasks as much as possible. If I have the ability, I will maximize the value of each task." Lin En felt ashamed when he saw Reiner, and he deeply understood that he was quite special.
He cherishes this specialness.
Still the same sentence.
No matter what purpose the mysterious existence has, if this special thing falls on you, it will be beneficial and harmless.
The focus at hand is not to try to find the reason why the mysterious existence does this, but to fully exert the value of "special" and live up to one's own "special".
As for whether this 'special' will be taken back by a mysterious existence in the future, and whether it will bring about some bad things.
It's all unpredictable.
The last thing I can do is to speed up and become stronger now.
The two talked a lot on the road.
With Lin En's [Eye of the Peeper], Reiner gained initial confidence in going to the imperial capital of Lazerin to recruit more upright cleanup personnel.
If they want to fight against the group of people they met tonight, they need more helpers.
Once this was achieved, it would no longer be a remote possibility for them to return to the city of Joseph.
At 1:30 in the morning on January 14, Linn and Reiner, whose extraordinary speed abilities were in a state of cooling down, arrived at the hotel on foot.
"Many of them have gone out to eat, drink and have fun, and there are not many left in the hotel now." Lynn looked up at the sparsely lit rooms on the third floor. "If we want to gather together, we have to wait for Quentin to come back. But when he comes back, we
It’s even harder to take action.”
"You mean to give up on dealing with them and withdraw first?"
Lin En stared at the lighted room on the third floor: "Someone came to visit the owner of the mansion for no apparent reason, and I suddenly disappeared. By then, Quentin must have guessed that I was a similar person with bad motives, and reported this information to the owner of the mansion.
.Once the owner of the mansion knows about my existence, it will not only be difficult for us to come back in the future, but we may also be hunted by them."
"Then..." Reiner was a little unsure of what Linn meant.
"It's best to take action tonight and kill Quentin, Boss Xin and his gang." Lin En showed a fierce look, "Only when they all die, will the evil deeds of this group be partially stopped, and our existence will be no longer
It will be known.”
"It's not yet time for the new mission to start. If we solve so many people here at the same time, it is easy to accumulate cause and effect, affecting the difficulty and reward of our next mission." Reiner reminded.
"Yes. Therefore, I have to take some risks first, let them take the initiative to attack me, and change the nature to self-defense."
