Mystery: A Spark

But in the end, he didn't dare.

After all, Arthur, who had just killed so many people without batting an eye, still looked quite terrifying.

"No gun? That's easy. Just buy one on the black market." Arthur looked at Williams standing to the side and patted him on the shoulder. "How was your night?"

“Great, boss. I stabbed that Jeston when he wasn’t looking,” Williams grinned.

"Well done. We hunters are all about asymmetrical combat. Fair duels have never been our thing." Arthur shared his insights with the rookie hunter.

Hugh, listening from the side, was utterly exasperated. She had several members of the security team take the surviving gang members away, and then said:

"When I was fighting, I felt that Jeston's strength and speed were a bit off, and he didn't seem like an ordinary person."

"Although I broke one of his hands and Williams stabbed him, I'm still a little worried that Miss Audrey might not be able to handle it."

Arthur chuckled:

"Don't worry, there are people watching over there."

……

In a secluded alley in the dock area, a burly, rugged-looking man, one hand clutching his ribs and the other hanging limply at his side, struggled forward, covered in cold sweat.

"Damn the security team, I'll make you pay one day. And that damn woman, one day I'll pin you down on the bed..." the man said through gritted teeth, his face full of resentment.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a pleasant female voice:

"You don't have this chance."

The next moment, Jeston saw a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes.

These eyes were hidden behind a flickering candlelight, which made them appear slightly golden.

And deep within those emerald green pupils, there was another pair of pale golden vertical pupils.

Jeston felt a wave of dizziness, and his consciousness gradually became unclear.

In his hazy state, he heard a pleasant, melodious female voice ask:

Have you ever hurt a woman named Ella?

Ella is Vina's mother.

“Ella? She has a good figure and tastes good, but she’s a bit ungrateful. She wouldn’t even let me have a go with her daughter.” Jeston replied somewhat dazedly.

Audrey's eyes grew increasingly indifferent as she asked:

"Did you know her daughter is only ten years old?"

“Of course I know. It’s precisely because it’s only fun to play with ten-year-olds that little girls are the most wonderful, and the same goes for little boys.” Jeston’s face showed a look of fascination.

Audrey's eyes flashed with intense disgust. She pulled a triangular military dagger from her clothes with her free hand and continued to ask:

"So, did you kill Ella?"

"Of course, she dared to defy me, she deserves to be beaten to death. Wait, that hurts! Who are you?!" The pain in the wound under Jeston's ribs gradually brought him back to his senses.

Audrey frowned. She knew it was because she had only recently been promoted to psychiatrist, and the hypnosis setting was also very rudimentary, which was why the other person broke free from control due to pain.

Furthermore, the other party is probably an extraordinary individual; otherwise, an ordinary person would not be able to wake up from hypnosis so easily.

Without hesitation, Audrey gritted her teeth and plunged the triangular bayonet in her hand into Jeston's heart.

But Jeston had already woken up. Although the blood loss from the wound under his ribs had weakened him considerably, the powerful physique granted by his extraordinary sequence still allowed him to easily deal with the woman's attacks.

He grabbed Audrey's arm tightly and grinned maliciously:

"So you're a little beauty. Let me take good care of you then."

Chapter 203 Bloodstained Gem and Reflections on Time Travel

Oops! ! !

Audrey knew something was wrong when Jesston grabbed her arm.

She lacked combat experience and made a serious mistake.

That is, talking too much before committing murder.

After asking the first question, she should have plunged the bayonet into Jeston's heart without hesitation.

However, the psychologist's hypnotic abilities gave Audrey enough confidence to mistakenly believe that she could control the person in front of her at will, which resulted in her defeat in the battle.

This is arrogance. Hypnotic abilities are not omnipotent, so I should always remain humble... Audrey felt a realization dawning on her.

However, now is not the time to summarize the battle; she needs to get out of this unfavorable situation as soon as possible.

Audrey looked at Jeston, and her eyes were instantly covered with fine, dark gold scales. Her emerald-like eyes paled and seemed to swell.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible wave swept outwards from him.

This is the "intimidation" of the "psychologist," also known as "dragon's might."

Although this ability can also be used on a single target, Audrey used the group effect directly to prevent Jeston from dodging it.

She knew she had zero combat experience and would be no match for the gang leader in front of her if they were to actually fight, so she didn't dare to be reckless and try any extreme maneuvers.

After being swept away by this invisible wave, Jeston instantly began to tremble, clearly losing his mind, as if he had encountered the most terrible and terrifying thing in the world, and only wanted to escape from here.

He held Audrey's hand tightly but couldn't help letting go, freeing her.

Audrey stared indifferently at Jeston, who was trying to escape, and without hesitation, plunged the triangular bayonet in her hand into his heart.

"Pfft!"

A dull thud sounded as a sharp blade pierced flesh, followed by blood gushing out from the blood groove of the triangular military dagger, staining Audrey's fair hand red.

As she plunged the triangular bayonet into Jeston's heart, two small figures, one black and one white, were crouching in the shadows of the roof beam some distance away.

Their location was precisely outside the influence range of the Dragon's Might.

"Hmm, looks like we won't be needed." Arthas muttered to himself.

Just now, when Audrey was captured by Jeston, she was planning to leave, but Audrey quickly and successfully counterattacked.

Although she had little combat experience, she was still a Sequence 7 Extraordinary, and not stupid, so she was not so easy to control.

After all, what kind of prodigy could be defeated even when they are several sequences ahead?

After piercing Jeston's heart, Audrey stood there staring at her bloodied hand for a moment before leaving.

Upon seeing this, Arthas couldn't help but shake his head.

"Oh dear, Miss Audrey really doesn't have much experience in doing bad things. Not only did she not even collect the spoils, but she also didn't even bother to cover up the evidence."

Arthas sighed softly, and after Audrey had gone far away, he brought Horus to Jeston's side and silently waited for the extraordinary properties to be released.

However, after a short while, it heard footsteps approaching.

Arthas twitched his black nose slightly, then said with some surprise:

"I thought you'd be waiting for Miss Audrey over there. This is her first time killing someone, she must be feeling very uncomfortable and needs comforting. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to take advantage of her vulnerability?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Arthur walked in from one end of the alley. "What do you mean by taking advantage of a weakness? I'm a respectable person. If you dare to slander me again, I'll sue you for defamation."

"You dare say you haven't thought that way?" Arthas glanced at Arthur sideways.

“Of course not, I already said I’m a decent person,” Arthur said calmly.

Arthas pursed his lips and said nothing more.

"Speaking of which, which sequence of Beyonder is this guy?" Arthur walked closer and kicked Jeston's corpse.

“I don’t know. He didn’t show any obvious characteristics just now. I was just about to wait for his extraordinary properties to be extracted so you could identify them,” Arthas said, shaking his head.

“Waiting like this is too slow, I’ll do it.” Arthur first activated the Shadow Veil for cover, then summoned the Skull of Gul’dan and aimed it at Jeston’s corpse.

In no time, he extracted the extraordinary properties from Jeston's body.

Upon a quick glance, Arthur's eyebrows furrowed.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person's extraordinary sequence?" Arthas Arthur asked, noticing something amiss in his expression.

“He is an extraordinary individual in the ‘criminal’ sequence,” Arthur replied in a deep voice.

Arthas frowned slightly and said:

"Actually, considering what this person has done, it's not surprising that it follows this sequence."

“Hmm, that’s not surprising. I just… never mind, let’s go back.” Arthur put away Gul’dan’s Skull, casually set Jeston on fire, and then dispelled the shadow veil.

Of course, he didn't forget to use the life-absorbing technique on Jeston's corpse to replenish his own life force.

Jeston's corpse, drained of its life force, quickly dried up and aged, and was soon burned to ashes before being scattered by Arthas's whirlwind spell.

It's a complete scorched earth operation.

"Alright, this matter is basically resolved. You can send Horus back now, otherwise Klein will complain to me again." Arthur reached out and poked Arthas's little head.

Because Horus has the ability to enter dreams, it is difficult for ordinary low-sequence beings to resist, so Arthur temporarily brought it in as an insurance policy.

Now that the tool wolf is no longer needed, it naturally needs to be returned.

"Alright, Horus, let's go." Arthas waved his little paws in a very professional manner, like a big brother, and led Horus away.

After they left, Arthur took out the "criminal" trait he had just obtained from the emblem, and his expression gradually became serious.

Although he couldn't recall some things in reality, the idea of ​​staying away from the criminal path and the libertarian prisoner path was something he could still think of.

Arthur didn't know why, but since it was a thought he had given himself, there was no harm in doing it.

And now, after going through all sorts of twists and turns, the "criminal" trait has ended up in his hands.

So, is this a coincidence? Or is it because of something else...? Arthur couldn't see anything unusual about this item, so he put it back in the emblem and buried his doubts in his heart.

In terms of frequency, his recent dealings with criminals have actually been quite frequent.

Leaving aside the initial demon dog, because he went out less at night during that period, and he also informed Bonova about it.

This resulted in the demonic black dog being captured by Bonova without having a chance to come into contact with Arthur.

Later, when Arthur went to the basement of the Harvest Church to become a schemer, he received a warning from Bishop Utravsky about being wary of the Blood Cult and the Rose School.

Since then, Arthur has become wary of the "criminal" approach and the indulgent "prisoner" approach.

Later, when Arthur went out to the Brave Ones bar that night to talk to Klein, he inexplicably ran into Jason Belial, the owner of the demonic black dog, on his way back.
