"You mean that you have already planned to stand up and admit everything?"
"I have seen your behavior in the past few days. Tonight you chose to place the lonely people in the church for the night. I think it is destined, so while I am kneeling here, I have been thinking about this.
Things. Until now, after many conversations with you, I have firmed up my mind. I believe that it is a very correct decision for me to admit everything." Father Fitch had a fierce struggle in his heart that night.
.
Lynn didn't know what to say to Father Fitch.
admire?
comfort?
These seem to be too superficial, like polite, non-warm remarks.
But as true "same kind", they should not be without warmth.
"...We will not let you down. One day, you will see how beautiful the world becomes through people's spontaneous efforts without deception or the protection of gods." Lynn promised Father Fitch.
"That's the best." Father Fitch smiled again.
This time, his laughter was natural and could be heard coming from the heart.
"Then let me take you to see Adjutant Eden now. This weird unsolved case should come to an end." Lynn left the 'listening' compartment, opened the door of the 'confession' compartment, and slowly supported Father Fitch.
Got up.
Due to kneeling for so long, Father Fitch's legs almost lost all feeling. It took a while before he could move.
At the same time, Linn's vision was blurred.
After regaining consciousness for a moment, he was already in the library, opposite the director.
"Congratulations, you have completed the task brilliantly again." The curator congratulated Lin En.
"Thank you." Linn replied politely.
"I have received a thousand points as a reward, do I need to exchange it for anything?"
"Why is this cleanup mission just about uncovering a truth, instead of substantively eradicating the garbage like before?" Lin En followed the old pattern and put the exchange at the end, and skillfully asked about his new problem first.
Confuse.
For the first time, the curator did not say "no comment" and gave a reply worth pondering: "Eradication is only one of the purposes of the mission, and understanding it is also important."
Lin followed this answer and made more guesses: "Mysterious existence drives us to perform tasks in order to train us to change the world?"
"No comment."
The familiar reply soon reappeared.
"Will similar situations occur in future missions?"
"No comment."
"Then let's start redeeming rewards." Lin En had already adapted to the curator's style and continued the process calmly, "How many points are needed to clear my current injuries?"
"Twenty points." said the curator.
Quite cheap.
Mainly because Linn had the experience of spending 400 points to treat her legs.
Of course, a back injury cannot be compared with paralysis of both legs.
"Don't rush to exchange this for now." Considering that the impact of his injury is not particularly big, Lin En plans to exchange it for other things first. If there is any leftover, he will treat the injury. If not, he will just apply medicine in the real world.
"Air shield, air blade, fifty meter range, speed not less than fifty meters per second, how many points are needed?"
After a battle with [Superman] Quentin.
Lin En is deeply aware of his obvious shortcomings in both combat and defense.
[Psychic Power] and [Teleport] are more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but they are not enough to compete with similar people of the same level. At least under normal circumstances, they cannot give an advantage.
In this case, the best way is to develop a few more trump cards to diversify your fighting methods and strengthen your life-saving insurance.
So far, Quentin's air blade is quite good.
If the air blade and air shield are reasonably priced, they can be packaged and arranged together.
"Four thousand points."
The curator gave a price that Lynn couldn't afford.
It seems that this thing is quite valuable.
However, if you lower your requirements for air blades and air shields in order to match the points you hold, then the functions of air blades will overlap with telekinesis.
After realizing that this thing was actually not very cost-effective, Linn decided to divide the current points into two parts, one part to enhance telekinesis, and the other part to exchange for a mediocre defense method.
In the end, he spent 600 points to increase the range of telekinesis from ten meters in diameter to twenty meters, and increased the quality of the controllable iron products from fifteen grams to thirty grams.
He spent 380 of the remaining points to exchange for the extraordinary ability of [Slowness].
This ability can be used once a week, and the range is fifteen meters in diameter. After use, the movements of everyone except yourself within a diameter of fifteen meters can be slowed down for 0.5 seconds.
0.5 seconds is extremely short.
But it is enough to play a vital role in the battle between extraordinary beings.
For example, Lin En can kill several people instantly with telekinesis within 0.5 seconds, and can also use teleportation ability to move more than ten meters.
These abilities will exert greater power after being levered for '0.5 seconds'.
As for the remaining twenty points, needless to say, they are naturally used to deal with injuries.
"Sigh." After clearing the points, Linn touched his back, arms, and abdomen, which were as smooth as ever, and sighed.
"What's wrong?" the curator asked with a smile.
"The points are not enough." Lin En said truthfully.
One thousand points is a lot for others.
But he has too many things that he wants to strengthen and expand. To him, one thousand points is like a person who has not eaten or drank for three days and three nights in the desert and encounters a glass of water.
It's very refreshing to drink.
But it couldn't completely suppress his thirst and change his situation.
"Then I hope you will encounter a level four mission next time?" the curator said.
"Thank you for your kind words."
"Haha, to most cleaning staff, this sentence is no different from a vicious curse." The curator liked Lin En's attitude very much.
Lin En spread his hands: "I can't help it, I'm very short of points. How about you give me some points on credit? I'll pay you back when I have enough."
The curator didn't joke too much with Lin En: "Haha, is there anything else?"
"I'm going to read a book." After Linn said hello, he came to a bookshelf and pulled out a book at random.
This time, my luck was very ordinary. The book I drew only recorded the experience of an ordinary [Awakened One].
This [Awakened One] was wiped out due to failure when performing the third mission.
And this task is actually quite simple, it just requires him to serve as a temporary bodyguard for a noble.
Although he only completed two tasks, a few hundred points are enough to exchange for the ability to crush ordinary people.
It's a pity that this [Awakened One]'s exchange ability is very weak. He knew that giving such a task would definitely lead to accidents, so he didn't call in more people to help. In the end...
Lin En, who failed to learn any valuable experience from it, stuffed the book back on the bookshelf and sat back in front of the curator: "I have nothing to do."
"Looking forward to meeting you next time."
"Same."
As soon as his eyes changed, Linn returned to reality and was helping Father Fitch, whose legs were numb, out of the church.
Although Cline Street is not very big, there is still a long distance between the church and the place where Eden searched.
Especially since Father Fitch had been kneeling all night and his legs were in a semi-disabled state, the trip there was really strenuous.
As soon as he helped him to the door of the church, Linn changed his mind: "You should stay here, I will call them over."
"Okay." Father Fitch did not refuse.
"Then please wait a moment." Linn helped Father Fitch sit down and went to look for Eden alone.
He was not afraid that Father Fitch would take this opportunity to run away.
If Father Fitch really didn't dare to face the consequences, he wouldn't be kneeling in the confession booth tonight, and it would be difficult for Lynn to discover the truth within the limited time.
With the dull pain gone, Linn's body returned to its peak condition, and within a few minutes he ran to a residential building that the sheriffs were searching.
"Mr. Linn, why are you here?" Sheriff Gotha is responsible for blocking the entrance and exit below to prevent anyone from escaping.
"The murderer has been found, so there is no need to investigate." Lin En brought good news.
"What?! You're not kidding?! Who is the murderer? Where is he?" Gotha couldn't believe it.
"Do you think I would make a joke at this time?" Linn patted Gotha, "I'll explain this later when we get back to the church. Let Eden stop first, so we don't need to disturb these residents who don't know the truth anymore."
Gotha did not doubt Linn. He was exhausted and responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will report to Adjutant Eden right now!"
Seeing Gotha refreshed and running upstairs.
Lin En chuckled lightly and did not follow.
After a while, Eden hurried downstairs with a group of police officers and came to Lin En: "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Of course." Lin En nodded, "In fact, there is no murderer. The truth hidden here is more complicated than you and I imagined. Let's talk as we go."
"Where are you going?" Eden heard this in confusion.
"Church." Lynn began to reveal the truth to Eden within a walk of no more than ten minutes.
Knowing that all this was done by Father Fitch, who had done a lot to accommodate the lonely people tonight, Eden was so shocked that he could not speak: "He, he..."
"I'm also surprised, but that's the fact. As a peace officer, do you know what kind of punishment Father Fitch will receive for this?" Lynn was concerned about Father Fitch's follow-up.
"Although he didn't kill the person, he caused panic. This matter can be big or small. The specific punishment depends on Director Adel. Director Adel said that this matter is very serious. I'm afraid Father Fitch will be punished for the rest of his life.
You have to spend time in jail. If Director Adel says it's not a big deal, then Father Fitch might be able to avoid jail by paying some money." Eden couldn't say for sure.
The director of the Sheriff's Department has too much power.
Legal analysis alone cannot yield an exact result.
"We are not short of money. I just think Father Fitch's original intention is right. I can't bear to watch him go to jail and suffer torture. What's more, if he hadn't considered our situation, he would have killed him for us.
If you don't let go, we won't be able to do anything to him." Lynn felt it was necessary to help Father Fitch.
If this matter can be solved with money, then everything will be easy.
Eden groaned: "Well, let's take him back to the bureau for investigation first, and we will discuss how to deal with him."
Not long after, the group returned to the church.
Father Fitch also stood there confidently.
"Private, I admire you very much. Gong, now I have to handcuff you and take you back to the station for interrogation." Eden respected Father Fitch and put the handcuffs on Father Fitch himself.
.
"There is no need to be burdened." Father Fitch remained calm and composed even when he was facing a disaster. "Seeing your persistence has diluted all my depression and fear."
"Lynn and I will try our best to protect you. Okay, this is not the place to talk. Please get in the car." Eden sent Father Fitch into the car, "Lynn, do you want to come with us?"
"No." Linn's task was completed, and now she just wanted to go back to the apartment and have a good sleep.
"Thank you." Before getting into the car, Eden showed a sincere smile to Lin En, "When you recover from your injury, I will buy you a drink."
