Chapter 5 Cooperation and Goals
"Especially with such a rare extraordinary ability like yours, Mr. Hill."
Who are you calling rare?
The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, but after all, he did not express his inner drama.
The language of this other world is completely different from the world Aaron is familiar with. Rare has not been stigmatized by its homophones, so Taylor's words do not sound so offensive... Of course, there is a little bit of aggression.
None, so it doesn’t matter.
"Major, what do you mean?"
"I have been an extraordinary person for three years. I have seen dozens of extraordinary elements, not to mention hundreds." Taylor sat next to Philo and said with a smile, "But among them, the extraordinary elements related to the concept of 'luck'
There are very few elements. Mr. Hill, this means that you have almost no chance to improve yourself."
Of course, Taylor didn't know about Aaron's specialness. He didn't know that he had swallowed up the extraordinary elements of the ghoul, so he took the initiative to talk about it.
However, Aaron did not show any disdain. On the contrary, he was very cooperative and showed an expression of concern - part of it was acting, and the other part was very sincere concern.
In the past year's adventures, Aaron has obtained three bronze-level extraordinary elements. One of them is the one he just acquired yesterday. He can devour a certain kind of power contained in it by directly swallowing it, such as
The extraordinary element he swallowed yesterday provided him with a brand new power.
Aaron called it "invisibility". After a simple test, he came up with the effect of this ability:
[Stealth: After use, the body will enter concealment, showing a translucent state, and the speed will be increased to a certain extent. After breaking out of the concealment state, you can hit a stealth-breaking blow, and the power will be expanded to about twice the original. After the end, you will enter a short period of time.
is in a weak state and cannot be used continuously. The duration of the invisibility is uncertain. The durations of the three attempts are three minutes and forty seconds, fifty-three seconds, and one minute and twenty-seven seconds.]
However, Aaron's abilities obtained from extraordinary elements are not permanent. The power contained in each extraordinary element is limited. Take stealth as an example. He can use it about ten times before the extraordinary element is exhausted.
The power of elements.
The power of the previous two extraordinary elements had already been used up by Aaron.
Extraordinary elements generally contain a lot of impurity concepts, so normal Extraordinary people can only absorb extraordinary elements that suit them to strengthen their extraordinary abilities. Aaron is a weirdo, he can completely ignore the concept of impurities in extraordinary elements.
, only extract the most useful ones and turn them into new skills that you can use.
However, swallowing the extraordinary elements in this way cannot strengthen Aaron's own extraordinary abilities.
"Major, just say it." Aaron raised his eyebrows, "I don't believe you brought up this topic accidentally."
"It's really easy to talk to smart people." Taylor smiled, "I invited you here today for two things. One is to tell you that I helped you solve the problem of falsifying your citizenship. This is what you did yesterday.
A reward for assisting me. Secondly, I happen to have an extraordinary element related to 'luck' on hand, and I am prepared to use it in exchange for your second assistance."
Aaron blinked and looked at the major in front of him in surprise and emotion - he could have faked his citizenship and continued to threaten him to assist in the investigation, but Taylor did not do so and instead kept his promise to help him
After solving the trouble, I offered him a reward that was impressive enough to make a fair deal with him.
He really made me cry to death!
"Major, you are such a good person." Aaron sincerely sent a good person card to Major Taylor.
"So, what are your intentions?"
Faced with Taylor's question, Aaron fell into a brief thought.
Continuing to investigate the case is undoubtedly risky, and the man behind the scenes who can bring the military into chaos should not be underestimated.
But at the same time, Aaron also has sufficient confidence in himself - not in solving the case, but in his own bad luck.
He believed that even if he rejected Taylor's request, he would be involved in this incident soon.
In this case, it’s better to agree to Taylor’s request. If the case is successfully solved, there will be generous rewards, right?
Not to mention, the rewards Taylor presented were extraordinary elements related to ‘luck’.
Aaron's extraordinary ability is related to luck. If he can rely on this extraordinary element to complete his promotion, he may be able to improve his bad attributes! This is really important for Aaron who longs for a peaceful life!
After a long time, the boy finally finished his thinking, nodded to Taylor, and stretched out two fingers: "I will help you, but I have two requirements."
"What's the request?"
"First, your military must ensure my safety as much as possible."
Taylor showed a relaxed expression, and just as he was about to pat his chest to reassure himself, he heard Aaron's next request: "Second, give me enough freedom, and you can't object to the way I investigate. If my method is somewhat
Go out of your way and vouch for me in the name of the military."
This request made Taylor frown.
Although they had not known each other long enough, the young man in front of him had already left an extremely deep impression on him - whether it was when he raised the revolver and pointed it at his head, or when he faced the ghoul's throat-cutting blow,
Aaron Hill maintained absolute composure.
And under this calmness, there is a hint of indifference and madness, as if there is nothing in this world worthy of his nostalgia.
After thinking for a long time, Taylor nodded: "Okay, I agree."
"Then, happy cooperation."
The two shook hands as a symbol of the beginning of cooperation. Then Taylor took out a piece of information from his arms and placed it in front of Aaron and Sister Philo, preparing to start telling the latest developments in the case: <
/p>
"Let me introduce in detail the intelligence we currently have... The mastermind behind the serial murder case once again sent a provocative letter last night, and attached a photo to the letter and marked it as 'target'."
The information was the original letter and a black-and-white photo. Aaron and Philo first looked down at the photo - the photo showed the side face of a young woman with some exaggerated makeup on her face.
Make a woman who is too young look several years older than her actual age.
"She is?"
"Her name is Vanilla. She lost her father when she was young. Her mother passed away three years ago. Now she can barely support herself as a prostitute, mainly in the Leitz area." Taylor introduced that less than two hours after getting the photo,
Vanilla's information has been sent to his office. "Her situation is not much different from most of the victims so far."
So far, with the exception of a nun from the Sunfire Church, the victims of this Leitz serial murder case are all prostitutes living in the Leitz district.
"After getting the letter, our people have already ambushed her. So far, there have been no abnormalities around her."
"Then the question is, is this crime notice a provocation to you?" Aaron frowned and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, "Or is it a conspiracy to make a false move?"
