Not many people were in the warehouse area.
In this warehouse, the tenants were all middle-class people. They rented a small compartment and placed some household items here. There was nothing too important, so there was only an old man guarding the door at night.
Apart from guarding the gate, the old man had to patrol once every two hours.
This was a rule.
Of course, it was unknown whether the old man had followed this rule or not.
This was also the reason why Cripple Wade chose to ambush Ryan here. Even if the old man knew what they were doing, he would ignore them. An old man like him who had no hope in life would not meddle in other people's business.
While fighting, the old man was dozing off inside the gatehouse.
Because the distance was a bit far, and whether it was Ryan or Wade's group, they all subconsciously did not shout out loud when fighting, so the old man did not hear anything.<
"Don't shake your hands. Be careful!"Trim shouted at a police officer.The police officer shivered and almost threw away the Magic Stone camera in his hand.In this world, there were similar cameras that could be used for photography. They used Magic Stones as their energy source to operate a magic array to take down the images of things and convert them into photos. The degree of clarity was not inferior to that of Earth's high-definition digital camera.However, the Magic Stone camera was very precious.Because Magic Stones were not common goods, there was no such thing in the shops and vendors on the street. It was a very rare and expensive resource. No one knew where it came from, but most of it was in the hands of the Sanctuary and the country. Only those noble families, such as a certain archduke, a certain Prince, or a large company group, had similar resources.These big companies all had powerful
"Sir, please come here..."Trim interrupted Johnny's thoughts and led him to a place."Here, please take a look. Is there a corpse?"He pointed to the ground and said to Johnny.That place was empty. However, it was a bit different from the surrounding ground. There was not much dust. Moreover, there were very obvious human-shaped traces left behind. It was clear that someone had once laid there.Of course, it could be a living person, but after lying down for a while, he got up and left.Therefore, Trim called Johnny over. He and Johnny had worked together for several years and solved some cases. He knew Johnny's ability. Johnny had a sense of smell that far exceeded ordinary people. He was not inferior to a hunting hound. Moreover, he could smell the death scent. The scent was left behind by humans when they died. This was something that the hunting hound could not do.Johnny frowned.
Lying on the bed, Ryan was peace of mind.If there was no pain coming from the back of his head, and there was no feeling of dizziness, Ryan would be the same as usual. There would be no waves in his heart, and there would be no sense of guilt in killing so many people in one breath.Those guys deserved it.As for James, even if he did not die at the hands of that guy, he would not let him go.If he was still the old Ryan, a young man who had a deep friendship with James, he would be trapped by James and die. James was certainly aware of this.As a cousin, James still led him there.He was malicious.Forced?It was just an excuse!Such a guy, just kill him.As for kinship?What kinship could there be left? When Jordan and his family chased out the thirteen-year-old Ryan, there was no kinship anymore. In the past, Ryan might still have some ex
On Earth, Ryan had watched a movie.Interstellar.There was a theory in the movie that if humans were sucked in by black holes, their consciousness would exist in a higher dimension. Without the restrictions of time and space, they were able to return to the past. In the black hole, the protagonist of the movie tried to influence his own choices in the past. After coming back to the past, he pushed a book from the bookshelf and turned it to a certain page, trying to give himself a clue about the future.From a different perspective, if the protagonist, in reality, understood this hint, he would treat it as a sign, a kind of apocalypse.Ryan's current situation was different from the movie. He still could not reverse time and space. With the help of the Book of Gold and a certain condition, he could ignore the space restrictions but was powerless against time.Moreover, this space also had restrictions.He
One!Continue. It was far from enough!The Power of Faith that Old White offered was able to place Ryan's consciousness in Book of Good and only maintain its basic operation. If Ryan encountered the enemies like Black-robed Man again, the Book of Good would be useless.In the confrontation with Black-robed Man, Ryan had exhausted all his energy and his spirit had been damaged. Now, he was just recuperating himself. The energy transferred by Old White's Power of Faith had been all used in the confrontation.Ryan had to choose another man and obtain new believers.In a flash, the consciousness floated above the sea of blood outside Book of Good's.The cries for help were endless, from all directions, however...Ryan was unable to come into contact with those cries for help, and did not meet the situation similar to Jeff White. In other words, there was no invisible traction, and all the s
Liv Phil was in his early forties, with a head of brown curly hair. Her hair was a little fluffy and fell over her shoulders.Her appearance was ordinary, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Even if she did not smile, those wrinkles were still seen at the corners of her eyes. Her skin was a little loose. When she slightly changed her facial expressions, many wrinkles would appear on her face.She had a pair of blue eyes. Whenever she smiled, her eyes would show tenderness.Being stared by her, the youth would always think of his mother. In his mind, his mother would also show her tenderness like this when she watched him smile, hum?At this moment, Liv was looking at Ryan with a smile."Lil'Ryan, how are you?"Ryan's eyes swept past her shoulders and he looked the small and messy room. On the bed, the one-year-old Feiji was sleeping soundly and had yet to wake up."
A carriage stopped at the corner of Fifth Avenue.Ryan got out of the carriage with a suitcase and put it on the sidewalk. He came to the carriage, took out a Louis from the wallet, and handed it to the cart driver. He also implied the cart driver to keep the rest change.The fare machine in the driver's seat showed that Ryan should pay eighty-five fennies to the cart driver. So the remaining fifteen fennies were the tips for the coachman.The world was the same as Earth's western world, where tips were popular. When gentlemen enjoyed services, most of them would give a certain proportion of tips to service staff. Usually, the tip income of the service staff was higher than their salary.However, Fifteen Finneies's tip was too much, and generally speaking, Five Finneies were enough.If the consumption bill was more than ten Louis, the proportion of tips was maintained about two percent. This time, Ryan did not s
Sir Fontaine passed through the corridor and stood in front of Albert's door.He picked up a cane, inclined its head towards the door, and was about to point forward.At this time, the door was opened silently. Fontaine grinned and strode in. After he entered the room, the door was closed silently. It was empty, quiet and deep in the corridor.The reason why Fontaine Bernard was addressed by a knight by Tess was that there was not the word "德" in Chinese between his name and surname. Because he was only a Lord. The title symbolizes an honorary noble and it could not be passed on to the next generation.In Franka Empire, only nobles whose titles could be passed on from generation to generation could add a word "德" in Chinese between their names and surnames.In Franka Empire, there were several titles. and the highest one was naturally the Prince.The Princes all had the blood of the royal family and
The Divine Incantation?There was doubt in Ryan's eyes."Yes, this is the Divine Incantation!"Livingston sounded serious."The Bible that the Sanctuary had enshrined was written in the Divine Incantation. The reason why it's called the Divine Incantation is because in the legends, these were words that God used but ordinary people could not. A so-called talent is a human who can see the Divine Incantation!"Livingston raised his hand and made a cross in front of his chest."Seeing the Divine Incantation is only the first stage. Only a real extraordinary being can recite the Divine Incantation and gain the power to change the real world. Earlier, when you left the warehouse, you didn't see what happened. When Lord Fontaine activated the Recall array, the incantation he chanted was the Divine Incantation. The Divine Incantation can't be recited with just one's voice. It also consumes a huge amount of
Inside Livingston's office in the Underground Palace.Light poured down from above his head. Ryan raised his head slightly and leaned back in his chair. His breathing was so soft that it could not be heard. Although he had survived a disaster, he could not relax just like that. There was still more to this matter.However, there was no longer any immediate danger of him being exposed, so he could relax a bit.Back at the office, the group went down to Underground Palace. Livingston asked Ryan to wait in his office while he left.After more than 10 minutes, Livingston returned to his office.After he entered, Ryan also stood up. As Livingston walked to his desk, he waved his hand downward and motioned for Ryan to sit down for a conversation. Once Ryan was seated, he walked around the desk and sat down in the chair behind it.When he sat down, the wooden chair made a creaking sound as if it couldn't b
Azar chewed a nicotine candy in his mouth as he squeezed out of the crowd.He was wearing a cap, a white shirt, and a small yellow vest with a tie knotted around his collar. On his lower half, he was wearing a pair of black riding breeches and a pair of tall boots. Hanging in front of his chest was a Magic Stone camera.He was in his early 30s with a head of long, curly hair. He had gloomy eyes that gave off an artistic aura.He had a slightly waxy complexion and huge eye bags under his eyes, making him look as if he did not have any vitality. It was as if he had been trapped by fatigue and could not break free. He always looked like he had not had enough rest.He was a reporter for Lanceton's evening newspaper.As a reporter, it was normal for him to leave early and return late, or vice versa. Whenever there was any sudden news, even if it was in the middle of the night, he had to immediately get up and rush to
The most critical moment had come!Ryan held his breath. His heartbeat was as slow as usual. Although he was nervous, his emotions did not affect his body. It was like his nervousness was drifting outside his body. He could feel it, but it was as if it did not belong to him.He stared at the screen that seemed to be projecting.The figure swayed.It was the perspective of the dead Owen De Gebora. At first, the one who appeared on the screen was Cripple Wade, who had been next to him at that time. He had a thick and short body, uneven legs, a thick cane, and a malicious gaze...Next, James, who was sweating in fear, appeared on the screen before disappearing instantly.Then, the others, who were at the distance, appeared. Although they were far away, they still appeared clearly on the screen. Their faces could be clearly seen, but like James, they also disappeared very quickly.Finally,
"Boo-hoo..."Suddenly, he heard the sound of sobbing. In the middle of the day, there was a sudden chill as if he were in a thousand-year-old igloo. The voice sounded like a ghost, sweeping in from all directions and making fear grip his heart.He couldn't help but turn his head. A strong gust blew.The iron sheet on the roof of the warehouse kept shaking in the wind, struggling to escape into the wind.On the ground, dust rose with the wind, forming a gray fog that whistled through the alley. It blew eastward and sometimes westward, hitting against the wall and making a harsh sound.A second ago, the sun was shining brightly, but at this time, dark cloud covered the sun. The sky had dimmed as if night had suddenly fallen and was about to swallow the entire city.However, if one were to look a thousand meters away, it was still sunny.This dark cloud only appeared above the warehouse. T
Ryan did not go far.He walked out the warehouse door and greeted Sheriff Trim with a smile. The other party nodded with some suspicion, but a smile also appeared on his face. Although Ryan was just a teenager, Trim did not dare to look down on him.For extraordinary beings, neither age nor gender was important. Even if it were a baby, Trim would still be very respectful.After interacting with them for a long time, he knew how incredible these guys were."What do you need me to do?"Trim took off his hat, placed it on his chest, and did a perfect gentleman's salute.Ryan quickly returned the greeting and waved his hand with a smile.Then, he made his way past the warehouse door and went around it.Although he had doubts, Trim did not ask further and did not follow him. He chose to turn a blind eye.Curiosity could not only kill a cat, but it could also kill a living
Ryan was a distance away from Fontaine and Livingston. He clearly felt that there was something amiss between the two of them. Although the atmosphere could not be said to be hostile, they seemed to be clashing with each other.On the other side, Livingston took half a step back and bowed to Fontaine."Sir, Martti has yet to step through that door. Your Excellency must know about her current situation. Isn't a spell like Recall too difficult for her? I hope you can reconsider it, or perhaps you have some other way?"Ryan could hear Livingston's words.This spell seemed to be harmful to Martti. As the captain of the team and their instructor, Livingston had a different opinion. It seemed that he was persuading Fontaine to give up this plan.Ryan hoped that Lord Fontaine would be able to accept Livingston's opinion.However, it seemed that Fontaine had made up his mind and would not change it just because Li
The warehouse was exceptionally quiet.The corpse still retained its original appearance. Perhaps something had been done to them because there were no signs of livor mortis. However, everyone's faces looked very disturbed. Even the police officer who had seen many corpses before seemed blatantly disgusted and uneasy.Now, except for Sheriff Trim, all the other patrol officers were asked to leave.All of Iris Tectorum's people were at the scene. Johnny explained the situation to Fontaine while Trim made additional comments from the side. As he looked at Fontaine, the look of flattery never left his face.Livingston was with Ryan and the other two. At this time, he was wearing a top hat and holding a cane. Although he still looked ugly, he was not as ugly as before. He appeared refreshing and refined now."Ryan, this is your job!"Livingston pointed at the corpse."Your main task is to deal wit
Two carriages, one in front and one at the back, drove down the street.They were both four-wheeled carriages with black compartments and tall shafts. The wheels of the carriages rolled across the streets that were covered in gravel. As the carriages had decent shock absorbers, so long as they did not encounter extremely uneven ground, it would not be a bumpy ride.Ryan and Martti sat opposite each other. There were two rows of seats inside the carriage which could seat five to six people. Since there were only two passengers, it felt quite spacious and not crowded at all.Out of the three people, only Milo Dravich knew how to drive a carriage, so he sat outside to steer it.On the ceiling of the carriage, there was a small glass skylight. This skylight was mobile and could be pushed open or closed. When it was sunny, the skylight would be left open to allow sunlight to enter with the wind. When it rained, the skylight would be pus
