The Whispering Verses Chapter 2257: One-hit killer gun
The doctor showed Shade the relic used for spatial movement in his bedroom on the third floor of the clinic. The appearance of the relic surprised Shade:
"Pistol?"
It was a small pocket pistol, smaller than any pistol relic that Shade had seen so far, such as the [Gun of Kindness] and [Faded Memories]. The small silver pistol can be easily concealed, and if its magazine is not spatially specific, it can only hold one round at a time.
There is a row of floral letters on the side of the barrel of the pistol, and its meaning is easy to identify:
【Concentrate your faith and kill with one strike. 】
Xia De hugged little Mia who was full of energy at the moment after taking a full nap:
"Doctor, could you please explain the function?"
"Okay, the secret keeper-level relic [one-hit killer gun]. The relic's characteristics are that every time it is fired, it will definitely hit the target, but its bullets will not be automatically generated and can only be filled by themselves. Fortunately, it can adapt to large Bullets of most calibers have an upper limit on their power. Therefore, although the range of bullets is almost unlimited, they can only reach unobstructed locations.
For example, if you are hiding in a completely enclosed house made of ten-foot-thick steel plates, the gun will definitely not be able to hit you but you also need to be alert to the risk of suffocation. ”
The doctor put the gun in Shade's hand:
"Although it is 'certain to hit' in a conceptual sense, in reality it is only 'certain to arrive'. If the bullet reaches the target but the target dodges, the bullet will not turn around to chase the target."
Xia De nodded to show that he understood:
"For example, if you wear a clerical-level relic [Arrow Enemy], you won't be afraid of this relic."
He gave this example because this relic was captured by him on the central island of Green Lake and is now in the hands of Agelina.
"But if it's just ordinary bullets and a sure hit, the relic's rating won't be rated as a keeper of secrets, it's only a poet at best."
Xia De raised this question, and the doctor nodded again:
"Yes, after all, only low-level warlocks are afraid of bullets. This gun can actually be filled with special bullets, even relic bullets. But because there are few such items, and the effect of alchemy bullets is not very good, Strong, so its Secret Keeper rating is not because it can use special bullets.
The study found that the 'hit' of the bullet fired by this gun is not simply a long distance flight, but a space jump after the bullet leaves the muzzle about 10 feet away, and ends up within 20 feet around the target. Appear randomly. Subsequent research showed that if the muzzle of the gun is pressed against an entity and fired, the entity will also be brought to the corresponding location. ”
Xia De squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then pushed away little Mia who stretched out her paw to touch the gun:
"Interesting, so the gun is pointed at you and the bullet will take you to the place in Moon Bay where you want to hit. Can you do the same when you come back?"
"That's the theory."
The doctor nodded, and Shade looked at the pistol with interest:
"So I understand that the value of space jumping is indeed worthy of a 'secret keeper' evaluation. Wounds caused by bullets are easily healed, which is almost equivalent to space movement without cost. So what are the negative characteristics and limitations? ?"
"The restrictions are easy to understand. Space travel by excited bullets is not suitable for humans. You are a user of space power. You should understand normal space jumps. The most important thing is to protect the user. But this gun But I don’t have this ability. Even for me, this method of spatial movement cannot be used multiple times. It’s the limit once and for all. I don’t want to end up lying on the bed like I did last summer when I forced myself to use the word of sublimation. A long time."
The doctor said, taking the pistol handed back by Shade and carefully storing it in an empty metal biscuit box. Such a "unique" storage method is related to the storage requirements of relics:
"The negative characteristics are quite troublesome, which is the main reason why the relic is rated as 'Keeper of Secrets':
One hit kills, and you must harvest life by pulling the trigger. This gun can only be used to target living creatures. If the target is a human or similar highly intelligent creature, then if the target is not killed, the shooter will have to kill one person with his own hands afterwards to compensate. Otherwise, the shooter will die himself. ; If the target is a low-intelligent creature, then regardless of whether the target is killed or not, you need to personally kill a creature with an intelligence level no lower than that of a human afterwards. ”
Xia De frowned:
"Sounds like a demonic creation."
"I'm pretty sure this is not a creation of the devil. Detective, the scary things in our world are not just demons."
The doctor shook his head and then expressed his plan:
"Tomorrow we will meet at your house, and then you go to Moon Bay. I will shoot at myself, and the target is you. Don't worry, this bullet can be easily dodged. As for me, Old John has the ability to counteract this kind of He also sold me the 'killing price' method as a package."
As he spoke, he pulled out the silver chain hanging on his chest and shook it. There was a silver skull on the chain. This is a very powerful alchemy item:
"Old John refused to sell this gun to me. He rented it to me and had to return it after using it. You probably can't imagine that the price of this alchemy item is more than the rent of this gun. It's more expensive. Old John said that alchemy items are also made from relic derivatives.
I have told you my action plan for tomorrow, and the bell tower you described is indeed very suitable for hunting crows. I feel reassured about you, but I'm worried about Miss Siam Nord. I can't guarantee 100% safety. Even if there is a unicorn, she has to bear risks just like us. ”
"Nothing in this world is 100% safe."
Xia De sighed:
"Just rest assured and carry out the plan tomorrow. I believe in her, and I believe in us. What I'm worried about is, what if it runs away? Although two marbles, one for each of us, will be useful no matter who takes action, but Doctor, you also said that the other party has never been caught in all these years."
The blue-eyed middle-aged psychiatrist sat in a chair, folded his hands on his chest, pursed his lips and snorted from his nose:
"Nothing is 100% sure, just try your best. If it really escapes, I will find a way to expel the curse of that thing for Miss Siam Nord by other means. But it's best not to do this , I think the probability of success is higher in catching the black crow than in successfully exorcising the curse."
The plan did not change, and the details had already been discussed, so Shade did not stay at the doctor's clinic for long and left at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Because it was still early when I got home, the maids who cleaned the house as usual every Saturday afternoon had not yet left.
Xia De did not interfere with the cleaning at home, so he took little Mia to Yuewan. After agreeing with Emilia on a departure time tomorrow morning, I chatted with the reluctant Miss Belindel for a while before going home before dinner. After all, today is Saturday. Since Dorothy is not here, Lesia's teaching time is tonight, and Shade must not be late.
"Princess Margaret will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. When Vanessa and Emma meet you, we will have no time alone."
When we parted, the Countess, who had a fat-red birthmark between her eyebrows, was still reluctant to leave. She kissed Shade for a long time before letting him go.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon when I returned home after losing my glass slipper. It was still very bright at five o'clock in the summer, and it was impossible to tell that it was approaching evening. Shade thought it would take a while before anyone would come to the door, but when little Mia returned to the second floor from upstairs with anticipation for dinner, he actually saw Luvia sitting on the sofa, flipping through a pile of information.
"Good afternoon, Shade."
The purple-eyed fortune teller smiled and greeted, pointing to the letter on the coffee table:
"Lesia sent someone to deliver a message to me. It is with great regret that I tell you that she has something to do and cannot leave the Yodel Palace tonight, so she can only ask me to come here to spend this Saturday night with you. She It's really a pity.
As for why she asked me to come, in her letter to me, she seemed to express her hope that you could develop the habit of being energetic every Saturday night, so this tradition cannot be broken. ”
Shad didn’t know how to evaluate Lesia’s thoughts, but he could only say that it was Lesia’s honor.
After picking up the letter, she immediately smelled Lesia's perfume, and she sprayed a lot of it on the letter paper. As for the letter, it was an apology to Shade for not being able to hold night classes this week, and a complaint about the ambassador of Kasenlik in Tobesk, who actually accepted her father's invitation to be a guest at the Yodel Palace tonight. and have dinner.
"Lecia said that Miss Carina will also attend tonight's dinner."
Shad said, and then saw that there was no signature from Lesia at the end of the letter, but a bright red lip print.
"Even if Carina is fine, I don't think Lesia would want her to come."
Luvia said, and then gave Shade the pile of information in her hand:
"These are the ones you gave me. Sparrow Hamilton's landscape photos correspond to the actual shooting locations. I have confirmed each location repeatedly, and there should be no mistakes."
"Oh, Luvia, you have worked so hard."
Shad did not go through the information first, but hugged the purple-eyed girl first, which was very helpful to Luvia.
The two took little Mia out for dinner first, and then walked the cat while taking a walk after dinner. They did not return home together until almost seven o'clock when the street lights in St. Teresa Square came on.
The photo analysis results given by Luvia are very useful, because although the scene of Karas Mountain no longer appears in the landscape photos that Detective Sparrow left in the attic of his home, there is a photo of the Great Lake, where it was taken It is not far from Mount Karas, or rather at the foot of the mountain.
These photos have not been stained by the power of time, so Luvia easily divined that the photos of the Great Lakes were taken in 1850, four years ago.
