Chapter 7 The sound of horse hooves and the sharp claws of evil spirits

 Aaron looked at the herbs in front of him.

Vanilla without makeup looks much younger than in the photo. She is probably similar to Aaron's body. She belongs to the blurry zone of adulthood. This kind of young and beautiful girl was probably still enjoying a happy campus in Aaron's previous life.

Time, but here you have to do everything you can to make a living.

Her experience made Aaron's already poor evaluation of the empire drop a lot.

The empire has always been immoral when it comes to being immoral.

"My... my name is Vanilla, very... nice to meet you, sir."

Vanilla stammered in response to Aaron's enthusiastic approach.

Obviously, she doesn't know that she has become the next target of a serial murder case, nor that she has been secretly protected by the military. There are at least ten imperial military agents nearby who are watching, including several extraordinary ones.

The person - even the benefactor who gave her a large tip last night was actually played by a military agent, and the tip was reimbursed at public expense.

To be honest, after hearing about this from Taylor, Aaron was really anxious.

Damn you, is this how you waste imperial citizens’ taxes? It’s really enviable... contemptible!

I suggest that this kind of agent who despises imperial military discipline be fired directly, and then hire me, Aaron Hill.

But then again, Aaron couldn't feel anything special about the vanilla in front of him, and he couldn't see that she was worthy of an extraordinary person who could control multiple ghouls.

In other words, the specialness is not in the selection of people, but in other factors!

Aaron had some guesses about this, but he could never confirm it.

The ghoul who was punched to death by Taylor carried a photo of the victim, and the provocative letter sent by the mastermind also included a photo. These two photos can easily mislead people: Ghoul

We are targeting specific targets, and there must be some commonalities and similarities among these specific targets.

But what if that’s not the case?

Aaron's ability can only take effect on things that have random elements. Since he can attract attacks from ghouls using his ability, it means that they probably have no requirements at all for selecting targets, and it is completely random. So far,

The people who have been killed so far are all women, most of them prostitutes... It's just misleading.

The "place" and "method" of killing the target may be the key to this serial murder case.

At this time, Aaron stopped thinking. He always had a friendly smile on his face, trying to use a handsome man trick to make Vanilla relax her tension, relax her vigilance, and be able to say more words: "Can I just call you Vanilla?

You can also just call me Aaron Vanilla. I see you are in a hurry. Where are you going?"

"First...Sir, I'm going to pay my rent."

Facing the handsome Aaron, Vanilla has a deep sense of inferiority. In her opinion, a man with Aaron's handsome appearance and noble temperament is probably an excellent nobleman. Her lowly status is not worthy of being with him.

He communicates on an equal footing, so her words are still stammering so far, and her tension cannot be relieved.

Her excessive nervousness made Aaron want to give up. He felt that continuing to waste time on Vanilla was not cost-effective. He had just confirmed a few of his conjectures today. In order to understand Vanilla's situation, Aaron

He did not hesitate to leave Taylor and Philo behind, and stood here alone.

Now that the goal has been accomplished, if Aaron continues to entangle and contact Vanilla, it will be a bit suspicious.

"I see, then I won't bother you anymore." Aaron nodded and prepared to leave: "Nice to meet you, Xiang..."

At this moment, the fierce sound of horse hooves from far away on the street interrupted Aaron's words, causing him and Philo to subconsciously look in that direction - and then they saw a luxuriously decorated carriage roaring.

Come.

The gorgeous family crest decorated the carriage of the carriage, and also revealed the identity of the owner of the carriage to everyone present except Aaron.

It’s understandable that Aaron couldn’t recognize him.

First of all, he, a time-traveler who had become a monk on the way, didn't know so many family crests, and he couldn't tell which noble this carriage belonged to. Secondly... he didn't care about this kind of thing at the moment, his attention was completely attracted by other things.

Gone.

Aaron stared at the roof of the carriage. As the carriage roared forward, the air in that area seemed to be slightly distorted. But as the carriage got closer and closer to him and Vanilla, he was finally able to confirm with certainty that that

The distorted air was not because I was dazzled by it, but something was indeed squatting above the carriage of this gorgeous carriage.

That’s a ghoul using [Concealment]!

There are no fewer than ten military agents hidden nearby, and two Silver-level Extraordinaries (Taylor and Sister Philo) are also in a small shop not far away, observing their situation from a distance. Although the streets are a little cold,

It’s definitely not that there are no passers-by.

However, Aaron was the only one present who noticed the existence of the ghoul.

Aaron swallowed a ghoul's extraordinary element and gained the ability to "stealth", so he could detect abnormalities and notice the existence of ghouls.

But he noticed it a little later.

Just when Aaron opened his mouth and was about to shout loudly to warn Taylor and Philo who were not far away, a loud roar exploded.

I saw that the carriage that was speeding forward maintained its forward speed, but the top of the carriage exploded directly. A burly, rotten ghoul, like a greedy hyena and a furious tyrant, used the top of the carriage as a

Springboard, jump towards where Aaron and Vanilla are!

The carriage fell apart due to the strange power of the ghoul, and the horses in the carriage were frightened and fell to the ground. The carriage barely stopped under the almost life-threatening control of the coachman, at least it did not cause a major car accident.

But compared to caring about the fate of the carriage, the ghoul's claws came faster.

The ghoul broke out of the [invisible] state and rushed towards Aaron and Vanilla at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye! Its size, strength and speed were not the same as the ghoul that was killed by Taylor's three punches.

The ghoul can be compared, even the effect of the [hidden] state is much stronger than that of the original ghoul.

When it fell heavily in front of Aaron and Vanilla, the stench of rotten flesh and blood was like poison, causing Aaron to feel a little pain after inhaling it into his lungs - but the state brought about by adrenaline made him ignore it.

He felt the pain and quickly calmed down.

Aaron seemed to enter the third-person God's perspective, overlooking everything that happened, and made the most calm judgment.

There is no murderous intent in it.

It doesn't intend to and can't kill vanilla here.

Humans are very fragile, so they don't even dare to hurt vanilla.

Aaron narrowed his eyes, adjusted the target of his ability, locked the ghoul close at hand, and showed a cold smile:
Chapter completed!
