Volume 1 The Stranger The Value of Trying

"Did you notice anything unusual?" Cecia approached Su Ge and asked.

Su Ge shook his head in confusion and said nothing.

He just felt that it was strange that the figure carrying the box had a very familiar feeling to him. Whether it was the way the other person walked, the way he looked down slightly, or the swing of his arms, they all felt familiar to him.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly showed an expression of realization. He looked out again, but found that the thin figure could no longer be found.

I said why is it so familiar? This is the way I walk and move!

Su Ge was suddenly shocked, and finally understood why he felt inexplicably familiar with that figure.

That was his own way of action. No, it should be said that it was the way of action that he finally formed after he changed bit by bit after becoming a "thief".

Only real "thieves" would adopt such a posture in the crowd, which not only reduces their sense of presence, but also makes it easy to observe every move of the people around them.

So, who is he? If he was the target, Mr. Betro should have noticed it, but he didn't. If he was not the target, was he an ordinary thief? Or...

"The thief."

Su Ge subconsciously read these words and was instantly frightened by his own thoughts.

Is he a transcendent? A "thief" in the star field?

Su Ge clearly remembered what Ondu said. The number of extraordinary people in the Star Realm was extremely rare. Even among the six orthodox churches, there was no one he could ask for advice. If the person he just saw on the road,

If he is really an extraordinary person in the star realm, then there is a great possibility that he is a "wild" "thief" who is separated from the church.

While Su Ge was thinking about why the other party appeared in York, Cecia came over again, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a firm look.

Su Ge nodded and adjusted his state by taking deep breaths. The back view just now was just a small episode for him, and there were more important things waiting for him at this time.

The horses' hooves made a "clack" sound on the stone road. Seeing the scenery on both sides of the road, Su Ge knew that they were heading down the block, and he had to concentrate at this moment, because what was about to greet them was likely to be a big battle.

Gebiong threw the man on his shoulders in front of Grachi, dusted him with his backhand, and said:

"This is the first one. If you want the rest now, you can only send two people with me, because York City now has inspections for carriage access, and I have no way to do it without attracting others' attention.

Moving four people at once.”

Grachi ignored Gebion's words and slowly squatted down to examine the man who was tied up by Gebion.

The man had already passed out long ago. Judging from the clothes on his body and the reddish-black complexion blown by the sea breeze, he should be a laborer who has been engaged in porters at the dock all year round.

"It's very healthy. It should meet your conditions. I don't smoke, but I have a bad habit of drinking. I hope your adult will not have an allergic reaction to alcohol." Gebiong said with a smile.

When Martin heard Gebion's words, his eyes immediately ignited with anger.

Gratchi stood up, put a hand on Martin's shoulder, grabbed it hard, turned back to Gebion and said:

"Yes, as long as they are healthy living people, I hope the remaining four people will be like this man."

"That's great. You know, it's not an easy thing to capture five healthy living people in York City without being discovered." Gebiong said.

"Are you waiting for my compliment?" Gratchi pushed Martin out, "Isn't this the condition we agreed on before?"

"You're right." Gebion looked around and nodded in praise, "It's a really nice place. Thank you for finding it here."

Seeing that Gratchi didn't answer him, Gebion continued speaking on his own, "If I'm not wrong, you will start taking action recently, right?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it does matter, remember? Our agreement is about two things. These five sacrifices are as compensation for you not interfering with my actions, but as compensation for the 'Escape Room Escaper', I haven't found a suitable opportunity yet.

"

"How is it? Do you need my help for this operation?" Gebiong asked excitedly.

"No need, why do you think we chose this dam?" Gerald asked, "We will inform you when necessary. In addition, please don't always come here.

When you are not paying attention, you may have been targeted by those in the church."

"I'm very careful. Don't worry. In order to avoid being noticed by others, I only brought one sample this time, as you can see."

Graci nodded, "You still have to be careful. Although there is concealment due to the inaction of extraordinary people, the people in the church probably have extraordinary weapons specially used for exploration."

Gebiong thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

At this moment, Martin came back again, glanced at Gebion, walked to Gratchi, and said softly:

"Brother Grachi, we are ready. There are three people including me. We plan to transport two people in two batches each time, and the rest will be responsible for guarding."

Grachi nodded and said to Gebion: "Then please lead them to transport back the remaining four sacrificial bodies."

Gebion said there was no problem, turned around and walked to the door. He turned around and said, "If you need help, remember to let me know. Of course, according to our agreement, there is only one chance."

After saying that, Gebion left the house without looking back.

Just as Martin, who was gritting his teeth, was about to catch up, Gratchi grabbed him.

"Brother Grachi, is there anything else? Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety and concealment, and I will ensure that I will transport those sacrifice bodies back safely."

Glaci shook his head slightly and said, "You don't need to come back."

Martin's face instantly showed an anxious look, "Brother Graci, I will carry out the task seriously, and I promise that there will be no mistakes."

Seeing Martin's anxious face, Graci smiled bitterly:

"You understand wrong. I'm not punishing you. What I mean is that this ceremony may be a bit dangerous, because we have never used five sacrifices to perform the ceremony at the same time, and we can't be sure whether it will happen tonight.

There will be another crimson moon."

"Considering that you are not a transcendent yet, you may be affected in that environment full of the aura of a great master, so I want you to go to the previous safe house first. Of course, this is not a punishment, but during this ceremony

After that, I will personally go to the messenger to apply for the elixir for you."

"Just think of it as a short break. Although it only lasts for one night, you can use this time to think about what kind of elixir you want."

Martin stared at Gratchi's face and looked closely. He was relieved when he found that Gratchi's face did not show any teasing intentions. The original anxious mood turned into excitement and expectation.

"Really? Brother Grachi, can I really become a transcendent?" Martin's eyes were shining brightly.

"Of course, when have I lied to you, the punishment or reward I promised you has been fulfilled every time, right?"

"Don't mention the punishment, but the reward can be more."

Gratchi pretended to fight, but Martin turned his body to avoid it, and then happily left the room to catch up with Gebion.

In an instant, Gratchi was the only one left in the room. Listening to the endless sound of water, he felt that his state of mind gradually calmed down.

"The great Lord of Hell, the noisy and wise Demon King, the noble and ancient Black Goat, please grant us your protection and blessing..."

Grachi prostrated himself devoutly, chanting the noble name in his mouth to pray that the following ceremony would go smoothly.

Soon he stood up again, paced back and forth in the slightly crowded storage room, and said to himself:

"Perhaps you can try to contact Lord Himmis again to ensure that this ceremony is foolproof..."

At 5:10 in the evening, No. 2, Huangyanbei Street, Upper Bay District, York City.

It had been ten minutes since a two-horse carriage parked at the back entrance of the York City Library.

Selin asked seriously:

"Are you sure it's in this direction?"

Betro nodded vigorously, "I am very sure that although there are many hints of outsiders invading the city of York, only this place is special. The outsider has been coming in and out of this place repeatedly, completely different from the other people who started hiding after entering the city.

different."

After everyone heard this, they all looked to the northwest.

Throughout the afternoon, they used the ability of the "jurisdiction" to conduct searches throughout the city, but found nothing. Instead, according to Betro's instructions, they captured several outsiders who sneaked into the city.

After sending those hungry homeless people to the police station, a lot of time was wasted, and Betero even had to be relieved of the parasite in the "jurisdiction" midway in order to regain his strength.

Just when Selin himself thought that it would be too rash to dispatch all the combat forces, Betro suddenly ordered the carriage to come to this place, and then the conversation just happened.

Selin thought deeply and said, "Based on your guess, what are the possibilities?"

"I'm not sure about this, but at least the people in front of them must not be simple outsiders. Now York City has set up inspections for people's entry and exit. If they are locals in York, they will not be detected by the 'jurisdiction', but generally

Outsiders have no ability to go in and out multiple times without being inspected by the guards."

"In other words, there is value in trying to explore, right?" Selin then asked, "If we leave the city of York, how big is the detection range of the 'jurisdiction'?"

"The 'jurisdiction' should be related to the host's consciousness. If I pass by a place frequently, the scope of exploration will be very large."

"From my experience in the afternoon, I can clearly feel that when I was in the lower block, the range I sensed was much larger than in other urban areas. It is probably because in my consciousness, I have a higher understanding of the lower block.

In other urban areas, the 'jurisdiction' has also been affected to a certain extent."

"In my opinion, if it is near York City, a maximum radius of ten meters is the maximum limit. Of course, if someone is very familiar with the nearby environment, the range that can be detected will be much larger than mine."

Selin shook his head silently. Members of the association were active in York on weekdays. Even when they left York, they took carriages and other means of transportation. No one would walk around York on foot.

And in a short period of time, he couldn't find anyone who met the conditions.

Should you go? Or not?

When Selin asked this question to himself in his mind, he already knew the answer.

Not every action will have an answer, but every exploration is valuable.

"Let's go, abandon the carriage, let's go take a look." Selin's expression relaxed.

"Let's go take a look and see what's ahead..."
