"That's it." Lin En quickly controlled his emotions and murmured, pretending to suddenly realize.
If the other party is willing to think so and refuses to treat himself, then it is best to shut up and let him go.
If you really insist on telling him that this is purely a disease, it may even kill you if you continue to ignore it. Most likely, it will anger the other person and make the other person feel inexplicably hostile to you.
Lynn has never been interested in thankless tasks.
Especially a person who is destined to become an opponent or enemy in the future.
He wished that the other party would become more seriously ill.
If they are both on the verge of death and the other party still firmly believes that this is a gift from God, then it may not be a bad thing to die without sadness.
"We have nothing to do." Reiner stood up.
"Walk slowly." The archbishop looked a little weak and did not get up to see him off.
"What do I have in mind next? I hope you don't mind my interruption." Reiner knew that he would have to deal with this person in the future, so he said hello in advance.
"I'd love to see you come to me." Ferran nodded slightly and watched Upton take Reiner and Linn out of the office.
"Bang."
The door was gently closed.
Fearon raised his hand and admired his pale body in the dim room.
Gradually, he smiled, a confident and lucky smile.
——
"Mr. Reiner has a bright future." Upton praised Reiner in the corridor.
Although he tried his best to suppress the small dissatisfaction in his heart, Reiner could still hear his unhappiness from his words.
"It's nothing, it's just that because of family reasons, it is inevitable to receive some attention." Reiner deliberately lowered his status to reduce Upton's hostility towards them. "Lynn and I are both in the General Security Bureau or the God's Gift Society.
I am still a complete newcomer. I will ask you to take more care of me in the future and lead us to avoid detours."
"That's for sure. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly." Reiner's words were very helpful to Upton, and he immediately became beaming.
His thoughts are quite simple compared to those of the [Divine Enlighteners].
He doesn't have much ambition, he just wants to steadily complete each task, and at the same time, through his own efforts, he will continue to improve in the God's Gift Society, and then gain the support of the God's Gift Society, and climb better in the General Public Security Bureau.
After comparison, it can be said that Upton is really down-to-earth and an honest person!
Lynn, Reiner likes honest people!
After leaving the office, Upton, who became enthusiastic again, took the two of them around the Laketon Hotel. When it was almost six o'clock, he started to drive them back to the Public Security Bureau.
"The mission is about to start in two days. Do you have any ideas?" Upton asked on the way.
Lin En really wanted to say that they planned to prepare for the mission in the afternoon, but he stopped him and delayed it until now. There has been no progress, but on the surface he still remained polite: "Yes, we checked the file in the file room."
From major cases and unsolved case files, I have picked out a few that I feel are good, and plan to investigate them one by one and proactively trigger corresponding tasks."
"A big case?" Upton learned the key point, "It seems that you want to get involved in difficult tasks and get more points."
"Yes." Reiner continued.
"To be honest, I haven't completed as many transcendent-level tasks as Leonardo, but I still want to give you some advice." Upton, who likes to be a teacher, expressed his opinion, "The actual situation of the cleanup task is very complicated, even if it is the same
The two tasks rated as level four difficulty face different problems in actual operation."
"We understand this." Reiner said.
"What I mean is that you may have completed level four tasks before, but that doesn't mean you can complete level four tasks every time. Maybe you are good at this one, but you may not be good at the next one, right?" Upton
He kept chattering, "I completely understand that I want to become stronger, but in fact, what we really compete with is who can live longer."
Linn partially agrees with this statement.
A timid person who works hard to trigger low-level tasks every time.
A bold person who works hard to trigger difficult tasks every time.
In fact, theoretically, the former has a greater probability of survival.
If the coward really survives to the end, then even if the bold one becomes stronger with the rewards of several difficult missions, there is still no point in not surviving to the end.
Whether it is strong or not is both objective and subjective.
The bold one died in the end, and the one who survived to the end, relying on Gou, naturally became the stronger one.
However, this only applies to ordinary people.
Lin En is not an ordinary person, and Reiner is not an ordinary person either. They are really wasting their talents by choosing the cowardly route.
What's more, they take a much longer-term view than Upton.
Upton focuses on the present.
The two of them want to compete with the [Divine Enlightenment] as soon as possible!
Perhaps this mentality is the real criterion for distinguishing the strong from the weak.
"Everyone has his or her own path, and our decision to take on difficult tasks was also a matter of careful consideration," Reiner explained.
Seeing that the two of them were not persuaded by him, Upton was not unhappy: "Since you have carefully considered it, I believe you can complete it well and protect yourselves. Can you tell me which case you are currently deciding?
? Let me see if I can give you some help."
"The Clown Murder Case." Reiner said.
"The one who dismembered the victim for seven consecutive days and used a knife to create a clown smile on the victim's face?" This case was a sensation within the Sheriff's Department. After hearing what Reiner said, Upton immediately thought of it.
"Yes. You should have already entered the Public Security Bureau at that time, right? Have you heard about this case?" Reiner became more energetic.
If Upton could provide some valuable clues, it would save them a lot of effort.
Upton's expression became solemn: "This case... is really terrible."
Linn and Reiner looked at each other.
They have read the file completely and know that this case is very perverted and bloody, and once it spreads to the society, it will cause large-scale panic.
But those are ultimately from the perspective of ordinary people.
As an [extraordinary person], Upton commented that this case was terrible, which was really extraordinary.
"Tell me more carefully." Lin En asked.
"Two months ago, I just joined the God-given Society and became a transcendent. After I was assigned to work in the Public Security Bureau, this case happened within two days." Upton described it with lingering fear.
, "I had just joined at that time, and my strength had just risen sharply. I actually wanted to practice on this case."
Lynn used the built-in rearview mirror in the car to stare closely at Upton's expression.
"When the first and second cases happened, the bureau didn't pay much attention to it. I led people to look for clues mainly from the victims. Then the third and fourth cases appeared, and everyone realized that they had encountered one.
This is a difficult enemy, so we had to change our focus and start deploying additional manpower to prevent the murderer from committing crimes again in the middle of the night. I also used my abilities to try to find traces."
"Sorry to interrupt, can you tell me what your extraordinary ability is? What role did it play in this case?" Reiner asked.
This is very important.
It helps them eliminate some possibilities and detours, and allows them to find clues from other unexplored routes in advance.
"Uh, this..." Upton became a little shy.
Extraordinary abilities are the greatest reliance of every cleanup staff, and no one will reveal them easily.
Lin En took the next step: "We don't care about your combat ability. We believe that if you really hit the murderer, you can kill the opponent instantly with your strength. What we want to know is what your auxiliary ability is.
Did it have any value in this case?"
There is no need to reveal all the cards, which is obviously easier for people to accept.
Upton, who had already established a preliminary relationship with Lynn and Reiner, thought about it and chose not to hide it: "I have two auxiliary extraordinary abilities. One is that it can detect the surrounding humans in a short time, and the other is that it can
Let me hide myself for a short time."
【Detection】
【Stealth】
Both of these abilities are pretty good, but Upton probably didn't invest too much in these two aspects, causing them to have significant shortcomings in terms of time, scope, and specific effects.
After hearing this, Reiner lightly kicked Linn with his foot.
Lynn made no response.
He knew that Reiner meant to be more vigilant when they talked in the future to prevent Upton from eavesdropping using [Invisibility].
This [perception] should have some effect.
Eavesdropping is also a form of hostility. As long as Upton approaches them after being invisible, Linn will have enough time to take precautions.
"Then what?" he asked.
"At that time, we had determined that the murderer would commit crimes in the South District late every night. The time was not very fixed, but it was basically fixed between ten and eleven o'clock." Upton said, "My idea is very simple. Now that I know it,
The other party roughly commits the crime at the location and time of the crime, and it is also clear that the other party will commit the crime again, so if I use my ability to find the murderer before he commits the crime, will the problem be ended? "
"It won't be that simple." Reiner commented.
"Yes, I was too naive." Upton sighed, "After the four cases happened, I will use detection and invisibility for the next three days to walk through the streets and lanes of the South District between ten and eleven o'clock.
Lane, chasing the murderer. I thought that since I was invisible and the other party couldn't see me, he would definitely commit the crime without any scruples. But for three days, I found nothing. In the end, if the murderer hadn't disappeared on his own initiative and stopped committing the crime, I
I don’t know what to do next…”
"That's okay. Both of your abilities have shortcomings and cannot be used for a long time. What's more, the South District is so big that you alone can't take care of them all." Linn felt that this matter was not as good as Upton's.
That's so scary to say.
After all, his own abilities are limited.
On the contrary, if he could really catch the murderer in the huge Southern District of the Imperial Capital by relying on his obvious shortcomings of [Detection] and [Stealth], then he would be really lucky.
"No." Upton refuted Lynn's words, "The scary thing about this case is not that I didn't find it."
Um?
Any secrets?
Linn and Reiner both fell silent.
Upton took a long breath and turned a little pale: "The scary thing is, I clearly detected that there was no one in that place with my front feet, but there was a dead person there with my back feet. Do you understand? The front and back feet were together for no more than three minutes, and the murderer wanted to
It takes a few minutes to dismember the victim and then put a smile on the victim's face. This means that he was there when I passed by, but my detection ability failed!"
