Chapter 238 Taking 'Kapin' as an Example
The Mystic Master is so powerful! However, judging from the description, it seems to be a sequence that is not good at direct combat, which is very much in line with the style of the Diviner path.
There are two major challenges to overcome in dealing with a 'Master of Puppetry'.
One was to prevent him from noticing the danger. The spiritual intuition brought by "occupying the next house" and the danger intuition brought by "clown" helped me avoid a lot of danger.
Sequence 5, which takes over the next player's path, should be even more powerful in this regard.
Another key point is to find his true location and avoid getting entangled with his "secret puppet," otherwise you'll fall into his comfortable rhythm, and the ambush plan will likely fail.
After a rough assessment of the key points to note when hunting the "Master of Puppets," Klein regained his senses.
Now is not the time to formulate a detailed hunting plan. After all, he doesn't know if he can get help from the mastermind behind the Brave Man's Bar, nor does he know what the mastermind's abilities are. To rashly formulate a detailed hunting plan now would be like building castles in the air.
"The information you provided is very important, I can give you £500."
This is the file you gave me. I've already written down the name and fill in the details. Take it back and archive it!
Klein pulled a brown paper bag from his pocket, placed it on the bar, and said:
"Do you have any occult messengers? Sending messages via codes and mailboxes is somewhat delayed; our communication should be more convenient."
Evan nodded in agreement with the price Klein offered for the information he had provided. He then took another sip of his drink, glancing sideways at the boxer in the distance, whose punches were landing with brutal force and whose teeth had been knocked out, and said:
"I don't have any occult messengers. If you do, please tell me!"
Evan had actually been deliberately avoiding searching for the relevant messenger.
On the one hand, his area of operation was in Backlund, so the need for messengers was not great. Moreover, if the messenger were sent to Klein in Tingen, it would be easy for 008 to discover that Evan was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Therefore, Evan's plans regarding Tingen and his communications with Klein were all carried out on the Gray Fog.
On the other hand, Evan had reservations about recruiting messengers, a prime example being Miss Sharon's teacher, Sister Exeggutor.
Evan was certain that the "City of Calamity" on his body and Klein's gray mist were of the same level. Since a spirit being could detect the gray mist, it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't detect the "City of Calamity."
If you can recruit a benevolent messenger like the Exeggutor, that's fine, but if you recruit a malevolent spirit, that would be terrible.
Evan never does anything without certainty, so he doesn't plan to recruit mystical messengers before officially ascending to demigod status.
Upon hearing this, Klein realized that extraordinary individuals using the "Hunter" pathway were not skilled in occult methods, making it difficult for them to find and contract messengers.
But then Klein frowned again. He remembered that Evan was also an extraordinary person of the "Assassin" pathway. Witches are very good at black magic and other mystical methods, aren't they?
Thinking of this, Klein stole a glance at Evan's profile, wanting to see if there were any signs that Evan had become a woman.
As a mid-rank "Hunter" and "Assassin" from the "City of Calamity," Evan was extremely sensitive to being spied on. He immediately noticed Klein staring at him and turned to look at Klein.
Klein felt embarrassed to find that Evan had noticed his spying, but he couldn't leave without explaining, so he cautiously asked:
"What sequence are you at now? The Assassin's Path potions shouldn't have had much of an effect on you, right?"
Evan chuckled, realizing that Klein suspected he had become a woman, but he could only evade the question, so he could only say:
"I am now a Sequence 6 Beyonder, but I have not become a woman, though I can become a woman at any time."
"Evan has indeed advanced. He became an Extraordinary later than me, but his advancement speed is faster than mine. He can only be described as a born hunter and assassin. I wonder what he did to complete the role."
Klein recalled the trading project that Evan had just canceled at the Tarot meeting, and marveled at how quickly Evan had risen to prominence.
At the same time, Klein also recalled the phantom of the mysterious city on Evan's body that he had seen in the gray fog. He believed that this mysterious city had helped Evan suppress the influence of the extraordinary characteristics of the witch pathway. So he stopped asking questions, finished the wine in his glass, and walked towards the private room next to the bar.
Just as Klein left, a young-looking man with rare red eyes and an old-fashioned soft hat sat down in the seat Klein had given up. It was Ian Wright, the left hand that Evan had extended towards the East End.
Ian Wright looked much more robust than he had a few weeks ago, and had grown taller. He used to be a head shorter than Evan, but now he was a head taller than Evan. If you didn't know him well, you definitely wouldn't recognize him.
"Boss, is there some important mission you've brought here in person?"
After Ian Wright sat down, he ordered a beer and then asked respectfully.
Ever since Ian Wright took the "Warrior" pathway potion and began following Evan's orders to integrate the children in the East District, Evan hasn't assigned him any tasks for a long time.
"How's it going lately? How's the collaboration with Miss Sharon and Mr. O'Sullivan going?"
Since devising the plan to control the terrain and power of Backlund, Evan has made the most of the resources at his disposal.
By developing Miss Sharon and Marich as his partners, he established a criminal gang mainly composed of people from the Southern Continent, occupying at least one-fifth of the territory in the civilian residential areas of Backlund East District, Dock District, and Backlund Bridge District.
He had his direct subordinates establish groups for homeless children, becoming Evan's eyes and ears to monitor the entire Backlund.
Using his identity as Mr. Z of the Aurora Society, he influenced the Aurora Society's missionary methods and used the Aurora Society's force to protect the homeless children's organization established by Miss Sharon and Ian Wright.
Taking advantage of George III's preparation for his deification ceremony, the Ruen government turned a blind eye to the massive reshuffling of the lower-level forces, and even subtly encouraged it.
This finally made Evan one of the true controllers of the underground forces in the Kingdom of Rune.
"Things are going really well. The big gangs look down on petty thieves, and the small gangs can't beat us, so now all the pickpockets in Backlund are my men."
Miss Sharon's forces also helped me bear a lot of pressure, while Mr. O'Sullivan's forces ensured our development.
Evan nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and simply gave the order:
"In the next two months, the Kingdom of Rune may recruit soldiers to form a new army, and I will be the first commander of this new army. You should start selecting good men now and let them apply directly. If there are any loyal and obedient ones, you can prepare potions for them. I will prepare the supplies."
Ian Wright never expected to receive such a mission and was momentarily stunned.
I've never heard of recruiting an army from gangsters. Can such an army fight?
Ian Wright couldn't hold back any longer and voiced his doubts.
"snort!"
Evan saw through Ian Wright's thoughts and snorted coldly, saying:
"How to turn them into elite soldiers is my business; you just need to carry out orders."
Seeing Evan's displeasure, Ian Wright quickly lowered his head and said:
"Your subordinate is foolish and dares not doubt your abilities. I will definitely select a good person to join the team as soon as possible."
Seeing that Ian Wright had admitted his mistake, Evan's expression softened considerably. He patted Ian on the shoulder and said:
"You've worked hard these past few days. I'm not one to be indiscriminate in rewarding or punishing. Here, take this."
As he spoke, Evan took out a small box and pushed it towards Ian Wright, saying:
"This is a reward for your work during this period."
Ian Wright accepted the small box with trepidation, quickly opened it, and found a yellow crystal. Feeling the attraction of the extraordinary characteristics on his body, he immediately determined that this was the extraordinary characteristic of the Warrior Path Sequence 8 'Fighter'.
Ian Wright was very clever. After taking the "Warrior" potion, he quickly summarized the rules of role-playing through practice and Evan's hints.
In addition, the "Warrior" potion is very easy to digest, so he has already started collecting and searching for the corresponding formula and materials.
MI9 has the recipe for the "Fighter" potion, but because of the universality of the "Warrior" potion, this kind of extraordinary property is very rare and is mostly in the hands of the military. MI9 itself doesn't have many of them.
"Thank you. I will definitely work hard in the future and resolutely carry out your instructions."
Evan waved his hand casually, indicating that it was nothing, and then let Ian Wright leave.
After a while, Klein came out of the private room and saw that Evan was still at the bar, so he walked over and said:
"Although I don't want to press for repayment, you'd better pay me back as soon as possible, or I'll be in serious trouble this time."
Evan understood perfectly well that Miss Sharon must have squeezed Klein for a hefty sum.
After all, Klein's request for Miss Sharon's help this time is not as simple as it was in the original story.
In the original story, Miss Sharon earned a thousand pounds by protecting Klein for three days.
This time, the objective is to hunt down a very difficult "Puppet Master," where one wrong move could lead to disaster. Moreover, it is clear that after killing the "Puppet Master," the spoils of war will belong to Klein.
Unlike the original work, due to the contamination of the true creator's language, Rosago's extraordinary properties are completely useless to Miss Sharon, giving Klein a huge advantage.
Therefore, it was only natural that Klein suffered a massive hemorrhage.
"I also need to borrow some channels from you. We're planning to set a trap to lure out that 'Master of the Puppetry.' This is something that the young lady and I can't do alone. Ambushing and killing that 'Master of the Puppetry' will also benefit you."
Evan nodded, not at all surprised by Klein's request, and simply took out a pen from his pocket, wrote a note, and said:
This is one of my capable subordinates; she will do her best to help you.
For reasons of secrecy, I cannot tell you, but your ambush of Rosago also benefited some of my operations, so we are now mutually beneficial. Please feel free to ask if you need anything.
Klein was not surprised by Evan's words either; this was the Evan he knew—he wouldn't do anything without a reason.
When Klein deliberately guided him, he had already guessed that there was something fishy going on, but just as Evan said, it was mutually beneficial between them, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
After Klein left, Evan got up and went to the private room where Marich and Sharon were, and found that they were indeed waiting for him.
"Is the person you just introduced reliable? Why do you want us to help him?"
Upon seeing Evan enter, Marich, who was playing cards with his "live player," asked directly.
Meanwhile, Miss Sharon reappeared in the full-length mirror in the corner of the private room, tilting her head to look at Evan, also wanting an explanation from him.
After all, Sharon and Marich's identities are too sensitive, and Evan introducing Klein to them could bring them great risks.
"He is extremely reliable; you can trust him as much as you trust me. Moreover, he is not simple at all; the power he represents is formidable. He will be of great help to you in your future dealings with the Rose School, and may even be able to help you achieve your revenge. Therefore, you should wholeheartedly help him; consider it an investment in advance!"
This time, Evan didn't try to force his way onto the table by grabbing the "live" card. Instead, he picked up the billiards cue and teed off. Seeing all the balls fall into the pockets, he cleared the table with one shot and nodded in satisfaction.
This effect can only be produced by the "Reaper's" precise abilities.
Miss Sharon and Marich were speechless for a moment, not expecting Evan to give Klein such high praise.
They knew that Evan was well aware of their situation. The Rose School they were facing was a secret organization with angels, an evil god organization that controlled half of the local power in the Southern Continent and was fighting against at least three powerful countries in the Northern Continent.
But Evan actually said that Klein might even help them get revenge in the future—that's such high praise!
For a moment, they even suspected that Evan had gone mad and was talking nonsense.
After using the spider silk to rearrange the billiard balls, Evan took his shot normally, glanced at Sharon and Maric who were staring at him, and said with a smile:
"Don't look at me like that. Time will prove everything I said. There's no harm in building a good relationship with him. You should also take this cooperation with him seriously."
Although some doubted that Evan was talking nonsense, they became more serious and took the hunt even more seriously.
"I've come to you not only to introduce Sherlock to you, but also to inform you that you can begin to expand your influence."
Sharon and Marich were thrilled to hear this, because they had already taken over all the territory they could, and there were hardly any small gangs left in the entire Backlund underworld.
The opponent that Evan is leading them to expand this time is clearly the black glove of those big shots, which will cause violent turmoil.
Although Evan had said this day would come, they didn't expect it to come so soon, so soon that they hadn't even had time to effectively consolidate their control over the territory.
"Who should we start with?" Miss Sharon, who rarely spoke, finally said, "The wealthy businessman, Capin."
