  Chapter 3 There are two eyes staring at me

nervous? Excited?

You know, all the abilities between the first 20-10 of the serial number are epic-level abilities, and the owners are basically the strong ones who sit on one side. up!

   This is crazy!

   Incredible!

But the [Crime Manual] that appeared in his mind today has already shattered the "world view" that Higashinohara had worked so hard to reshape in the past half a year. He no longer hesitated. The only source of power points added up.

  【Do you want to consume 1 point of source power to advance to the Crimson Eye? 】

【confirm】

  In an instant, the originally gray [Crimson Eyes] in the ability bar in my mind suddenly trembled violently, the characters blurred one by one, and then burst into dazzling purple brilliance word by word.

  【Advanced Success】

  【Congratulations to the host for obtaining new abilities】

  【Nine Eyes and Six Paths】

   Serial number: 16

  Current open status:

  First Sight: 360-degree long-distance vision, see through the opponent's moves, including trajectory movements that are not limited to spells, sword shapes, and elemental abilities.

  The first way: the way of hell; it can drag the target into a hell-like endless nightmare for a short time, and when the illusion is too real, it can cause a certain amount of physical damage.

   Hiss—!

Higashinohara stared blankly at the new ability in his mind, and suddenly felt so horrified that the epic level ability at the front of the serial number was really horrifying. The original crimson pupil.

   It’s no wonder that those big pirates with epic abilities are able to roam around the world and dominate the world. Some small countries ruled by the strong can even separate one side, violating the jurisdiction of the world government of heaven and man.

  He exchanged his source power point for a prostitute for a serial number top 20 ability.

   This wave. Earn blood!

   "Higashino-kun, thank you for your valuable information and your heroic performance during the arrest. The financial department of the Metropolitan Police Department will transfer the bonus to your personal account after seven working days."

  Suddenly, words sounded in his ears.

Don't look at Higashinohara's surprises and surprises in the "Crime Manual" in his mind, but under the time flow rate of 60:1, it is just a blink of an eye in reality. A flash of red light.

   "Oh! Thank you so much."

   "Haha, we should thank you, we have been hunting this guy for days."

  “.”

   After some "talking and heart-to-heart talk", after confirming that the money for the wanted reward will be credited to his account at the New Tokyo Central Bank in full, Higashinohara hurriedly left without saying a word.

  Before leaving, he also noticed Mai Aragaki of the third investigation team.

He was not surprised by this. The unscrupulous uncle who ran the detective agency almost every day sent his daughter Mai Aragaki, who graduated from the Takehara Minami Private School, to the third investigation team as an intern. Higashinohara My ears could almost hear the cocoon, but I didn't expect to meet here by chance, so I just nodded my head to say hello.

  About ten o’clock in the evening, Higashinohara took the tram back to Ogawa Town, Edogawa District, New Tokyo’s 23rd Ward. After getting off the tram, he walked for about ten minutes to a five-story apartment building.

This apartment building looks old. The dim lights in the corridor flicker on and off. If you want to shoot a horror movie, you don’t need to bother with the setting to get material on the spot. The property rights of the entire building belong to the president of Aragaki Detective Agency, Aragaki Satoru All—that is, the unscrupulous and lecherous uncle in Higashinohara's mouth, who smokes, drinks, gambles, and often speaks nonsense.

The Xinyuan office is on the third floor. When Higashinohara went upstairs, he glanced at his phone, and sure enough, he received several urging messages, probably urging him to take a photo and why he didn’t come back so late. Rent reduction for half a month for being too late I'm about to reconsider changing it to a week, and I told Higashinohara that it's almost enough. They don't need to go too deep into the filming because they are not documentary reports, and they didn't let him shoot the content of the Eighteen Bans.

  Of course, if it is really filmed, he also has a friend who wants to be Kang Kang.

  The friend you mentioned is not you, is it?

  Higashi Nohara didn’t reply to the news, went up to the third floor and turned around the corner of the corridor, and saw a [Xintu Detective Agency] sign hanging on the door of a room in the middle, several flashing neon fonts were very eye-catching at night.

   Oh no, it’s Xinyuan. The light tube with the word “墜” was half broken last week and hasn’t been repaired yet.

Higashinohara pushed the door open, and a middle-aged man in his forties jumped into his eyes, with sloppy half-long hair and a beard, holding a wine bottle in his hand, with his feet dangling on the desk in front of him .

  The TV next to it is showing the race of the excellent mares held by the New Tokyo Racecourse. It is not surprising to see this picture of drunkenness, it is probably a bet on the horse and lost money.

   Tut! I really don't know when he will be able to export this apartment building.

   "Welcome! Aragaki Detective Agency will serve you wholeheartedly"

When Aragaki Satoru noticed the movement of entering the door, he immediately put his foot down, and halfway through the introduction with a skillful tone, he suddenly returned to the look of a tired and unscrupulous uncle, and changed his words with a smile, "Yo! It's Higashino-kun, why are you so late?" When I came back, I was still worried that you would be caught by the police by mistake, and I was thinking about whether to use connections to get you."

   Higashinohara ignored Aragaki Satoru's nonsense, and took out the mobile phone that Aragaki Satoru provided for him from his bag, "Well, it's all here, and I will only pay half of next month's rent."

   "Wait! Let me see first"

Aragaki Satoru took the phone, found the photo album skillfully, opened it, and browsed one by one, and the expression on his face gradually became more exciting. After reading it, he shook his head and sighed, "Immortal dance? What a tragedy, isn't it?" , it’s really unbearable.”

   "Then are you going to give these photos to his wife?" Higashinohara asked before leaving the house.

   Aragaki Satoru immediately showed a serious expression on his face, as if his professional ethics had been insulted, "Higashino-kun, as a detective! Honesty is the only character we need to abide by."

  Would you still be honest without giving money?

   Higashinohara complained in his heart, turned around and went upstairs, Satoru Aragaki sat back and picked up the phone with a smile, probably notifying the employer to complete the task.

  Out of the detective office, Higashinohara went upstairs with his bag.

  He lived in a side room on the fifth floor, so he went up the corridor and took out the key.

   But when he opened the door in the dim light, he didn't know if it was the effect of the newly acquired ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths]—Higashi Yehara obviously didn't turn around, but he noticed a rustling figure in the corner of the dim corridor behind him.

Opening the door, he didn't go back to the room immediately when he realized what was going on, and walked over, muttering, "That guy is really stingy, I asked him to change the voice-activated lights in the west half of the corridor a long time ago. pulled"

After approaching, with the turbid yellow light behind her, the outline of a little girl with blond hair and green eyes like jewels gradually became clear—she looked about five or six years old, and she was wearing a dirty dress in the late autumn of November. Xi's goose-yellow velvet dress is very thin, and she is squatting in front of a pile of wooden boards on the side of the corridor with a small cartoon schoolbag on her back.

  Higashi Nohara recognized the little girl next door on the same floor, named Nishimaru Miri, who once heard comments from people in the apartment building that her mother was smuggled from the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and she disappeared shortly after she was born.

  Birth father Shunsuke Nishimaru works as a handyman in a nightclub in Shibuya District. He usually idles around and gambles. When he gets drunk, he often scolds his daughter for dragging him down, but he never beats the child.

   Well, at this point, I probably haven’t finished get off work yet.

  Speaking of which, Higashinohara, after studying world geography in the past six months, still has a little impression of the "Sayashi Grand Principality" to which Nishimaru Miri's mother belongs. It is a country located in the northwest of Wano country.

  It is different from the sea blue star where it was in the previous life.

  The world Higashinohara is in today is a pattern where two continents intersect at a cross, dividing the whole world into four major sea areas, east, south, north, and west.

  Hmm. It sounds a bit like the pattern of "One Piece" in the previous life, but it's a pity that there is no great route.

  There are pirates in the four major regions. For example, the two major pirate groups in the East China Sea near the Wano country, the leaders are all top 36 in the ability sequence, and their personal strength is above the sixth level.

  The goal of the pirates in this world is not a "one piece". Most of their ancestors were fighters who were defeated in the "Battle against the barbarians" with the heavens and humans who invaded this world more than a thousand years ago.

   Today, they cannot survive under the arrest of the world government established by the heaven and man, and can only drift on the sea to make a living. However, after more than a thousand years, most pirates have forgotten the will and original intention of their ancestors to overthrow the rule of the heaven and man government.

  In contrast, among the more than 300 allied countries on the mainland, there are a few revolutionary armies that have inherited the last wishes of the people with lofty ideals who fought against the barbarians, and are active in the underground of some remote and small countries, planning to overthrow the rule of heaven and man.

  What I have to say here is that from the world history that Higashinohara currently understands, except for countries like Wano Country that maintain a decent cooperative (father-son) relationship with the Celestial World Government, the interior is relatively peaceful.

  Some other small countries on the mainland are either in constant civil strife, or the coastal areas are plagued by pirates, or under the high-pressure rule of the Tianren World Government, the forces of the revolutionary army are one after another, suppressing batch after batch.

   Anyway, few can live with peace of mind.

  This is the case in the Grand Duchy of Shayashi. For the past hundred years, the domestic revolutionary army has flourished and civil strife has continued. It is no wonder that Miri Nishimaru's mother would smuggle to Wano country.

  In the dark corridor on the west side.

   Sensing Higashinohara's footsteps, Nishimaru Miri stood up like a frightened cub, turned her head in panic, and when she vaguely saw that it was Higashinohara, her pink and tender face suddenly showed a little joy.

   "Ah! Is it Big Brother? Good evening."

   "Good evening, Xiao Weili."

Higashinohara also greeted, and looked down at a few pieces of broken boards in the corner—it seemed that they were picked up from the abandoned construction site behind the apartment building, and they were built into a simple shack, inside which crawled three dirty Xi's little milk cat, probably discarded by the young people who moved in this building, was meowing cautiously when he sensed the stranger approaching.

   Higashinohara turned his head to look at the locked door, and couldn't help sighing, "Did your father forget to give you the key again?"

   "Hmm" the little girl lowered her head.

   Higashinohara shook his head when he heard the words.

  Shunsuke Nishimaru has been in arrears with the rent for less than half a year. Every time Satoru Aragaki came up to urge the rent, he said that he would pay it off once he won the money, and there was no one on weekdays. It is estimated that Satoru Aragaki did not forcefully take back the room for the sake of Miri Nishimaru.

He was thinking about whether he should go to my house like last time, wait for your father to come back, and eat something by the way, otherwise, if Shunsuke Nishimaru gets off work but becomes addicted to gambling, that little guy will have to sit at the door all night up.

  Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Nishimaru Miri was stunned for a moment, then shook her little head, and said with a happy smile on her powdery little face, "I have a family. Big brother, look!"

  Speaking, she stretched out her little hand and pointed to the dilapidated small shack built of wooden boards in the corner—Higashi Nohara noticed that there was a slightly cleaner small wooden sign hanging on the small shack, with a few crooked children's fonts written on it with colored pens.

  【Miri no Home】

   "Welcome big brother to visit my house."

  The little girl said childishly.

   Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help touching her blond head, "Thank you, Xiao Weili's house is very beautiful."

   "Giggle, how can there be, it's still very simple."

   Miri Nishimaru was a little embarrassed with a smile on her small face, but she was very happy. It was probably the first time someone praised her beautiful home, and suddenly remembered something, turned around, took off her small schoolbag, opened it, and looked down.

   "Brother, do you want tea? I'll pour tea for you."

   Higashinohara glanced over and saw that the packaging bag of half a piece of red bean bread was torn open, neatly folded and lying in the small school bag; next to it were two bottles of pure water, one half bottle and one full bottle.

  The little girl took out a full bottle, unscrewed it with difficulty, and handed it to Higashinohara expectantly.

  Facing the kid's entertaining, Higashinohara bent down to take the water, squatted down, took a sip and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality, the tea at Xiao Weili's house is really good."

  Hearing this, Miri Nishimaru's pink face suddenly narrowed into a crescent smile.

Higashinohara was thinking in his heart while drinking water—it is estimated that the little guy’s self-esteem is relatively strong. Last time he invited her home a little recklessly, and he gave her food and drink, which damaged the little girl’s self-esteem—but she My own home is often unable to enter without a key, so I "entertain" myself in the small shack.

He was thinking about whether to play house with the little girl for a while, and when her father came back from get off work, if it was too late, he would go down to find Aragaki Satoru. Although this unscrupulous uncle is not very serious on weekdays, he can still be reliable occasionally of.

   Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.

A moment later, a man in his thirties came up with a plastic bag in his hand, humming a ditty. Miri Nishimaru, who was beside Higashinohara, had a happy expression on his face, and tried to run over with his short legs, but he just took two steps But timidly stood where he was.

   "Hey! My sweet girl!"

  Unexpectedly, when Shunsuke Nishimaru saw his daughter tonight, he didn't scold her as usual.

   Instead, she came over and raised Nishimaru Miri over her head with both hands, stared at her face carefully and turned around excitedly, then put her on the ground and rubbed her daughter's head indiscriminately, and laughed loudly:

   "Xiao Weili, let's see what delicious food Dad brought you."

  Nishimaru Miri looked down timidly, and a little joy suddenly appeared on her small face.

   "Ah! It's sushi! Miri likes sushi the most."

   "I know you like it, so I'll eat enough tonight."

   Talking with a smile, Shunsuke Nishimaru also noticed Higashinohara, and scratched his head in surprise, "Eh? This little brother... looks familiar."

   Higashinohara rolled his eyes.

Looking at Miri Nishimaru's face, and seeing people on the same floor, he said politely, "Hi, Mr. Nishimaru, I live in Higashinohara on the east side. Since you come back, I will leave it to Miri Nishimaru." You."

   "Oh, brother, are you taking care of my daughter? Haha, I really don't know how to thank you."

   "You're welcome, Xiao Weili is very good."

  After Higashinohara finished speaking, he said hello and farewell to Miri Nishimaru, who was full of joy on his face. After finishing the work, he picked up the handbag on the ground, turned around and walked back, and Miri Nishimaru asked in a childish voice behind his ears:

   "Dad, why do you leave work so early tonight? Don't you need to work overtime?"

  Hehe, this guy keeps tricking his daughter into working overtime by gambling after work?

   "No overtime! No overtime tonight! Hahaha, Dad won't have to work overtime anymore." Shunsuke Nishimaru replied as excited as if he had won the lottery.

   "Really? That would be great!"

  Nishimaru Miri was excited, biting her little finger and suddenly remembered something.

   "By the way, Dad, Uncle Xin Yuan from downstairs came up to ask me today. He asked when we will pay the rent, and said that if we don't pay the rent next week, he will really drive us away. Does that mean we will have no home?"

  Shunsuke Nishimaru snorted when he heard this!

   "That bastard! Don't you owe him half a year's rent? Don't worry! Dad will give it all to him in two days. Then Dad will take you to move, and we will live in a big house. Who cares about his dirty and dilapidated place."

   "Wow! Really?"

   "Of course it's true! By the way, don't hang out with strangers if you have nothing to do in the future. There are a few good people living in this kind of place."

   "Ah, but Dad, big brother."

  “.”

  Higashi Yehara entered the room on the east side of the corridor, a little amused in his heart, but he didn't care about it. He was just surprised at where he got the money to pay the rent. He guessed that he was lucky and won a bet tonight.

  Speaking of which, he took care of Nishimaru Miri at the beginning purely because he saw that the little girl was cute and pitiful.

  Plus I just arrived here and I don’t know people well, so it’s not so much caring, it’s more like two lonely souls leaning together to keep each other warm.

   Entering the room, Higashino originally put down his handbag, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. This room is about 20 square meters, with one bedroom and one bathroom. There is no living room and kitchen. Higashinohara sleeps on the tatami mat in the middle.

   After taking a shower and changing clothes, it's half past ten.

  Higashi Nohara took out the inventory in the small refrigerator, a can of coffee in cans, he used to fall asleep on time after drinking it, and the effect of that little caffeine would probably be saved until the next morning to help him get up on time.

   Regular and healthy work and rest.

But today I helped Aragaki Satoru take the order of "private work", and I ran into a cat-eared lady by accident. It was recorded in the crime manual that she seemed to be a girl thief from the Tianhu clan. Guilty Handbook].

   All of this happened too fast and too suddenly.

   Until this time, lying on the tatami at home, Higashinohara could digest all this with peace of mind.

   After thinking for a while, his consciousness entered [Guild Manual] again.

  【Name: Higashinohara (male)】

  【Race: Human】

  【Current attribute template】

  [Strength: 11.3 (very weak)]

  [Agility: 22.2 (weak)]

  [Physique: 8.6 (very weak)]

  [Character title: Follower of Justice (criminal value X10) duration 30 minutes]

  [Status: Body restraint (released)]

  Attribute points: 0

  Source point: 0

  Character title Through the actual combat this afternoon, Higashinohara probably figured it out, that is, to add buffs to himself during the battle, the more "evil" the opponent, the more powerful the buffs added.

  It's a pity that the female thief I met at night didn't seem to be evil enough, or maybe my basic attributes were too weak, so I forced her to push down and hold her down because of a card bug.

  Well, just what the **** is this human body limiter?

   Is the status lifted?

  Higashi Yehara was puzzled, and his mind was immersed in it, and a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

[In the universe, living organisms have limits that cannot be broken by hard work, and the Guilty Manual converts the evil value into attribute points to directly add points to improve, indirectly breaking the shackles of the limiter, and the host can now obtain sinful value through regular exercise There are two ways to convert it into attribute points to improve its various attributes]

Um?

  What is a surprise?

  What is a special surprise!

  Higashi Nohara instantly lost his sleepiness, and sat up straight like a carp. The house is small, so he simply lifted up the tatami to make room, and did the most primitive push-ups.

  123450!

   Hu Chi Hu Chi -!

   Higashinohara’s physical fitness is already out of breath when he reaches 50 push-ups. Normal people’s physical fitness is not bad if he can do more than 20 push-ups in one breath, and more than 40 is excellent.

But this time he had another purpose. He gritted his teeth and squeezed the strength of his whole body to sit for another 10 minutes. At the moment when the 60th limit was lifted, his whole body collapsed and fell limply on the ground. His forehead, chin and body were covered with stinky sweat. .

   Yes, I just took a shower for nothing.

   Long-term malnutrition and lack of exercise, Higashinohara only felt muscle pain all over his body, and his body didn't seem to be his own. Before he had time to catch his breath, he hurriedly entered the crime manual, and read column by column from the attribute panel.

  In the end, he finally found the change, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

  Physique: 8.6+0.1↑

  8.7.

  Uh, it has been improved. It seems that it has not been improved.

   This "devil training" that squeezed out the last bit of strength, the result was only an increase of 0.1?

  After doing this kind of training once, it is estimated that he will struggle to lift his arms tomorrow. Even if he can gradually adapt in the future, he may not be able to do it a few times a night. If he continues to this level, the improvement will be too slow.

  However, Higashinohara found some comfort in his heart when he thought that he only got 0.5 attribute points after taking an adventure tonight.

  What else can I do?

  Live and develop slowly.

   After all, being able to exercise by yourself is much safer than taking the risk of finding those outlaw lunatics with high crime values.

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara's thoughts moved slightly, and the crime manual turned over the title page, and landed on the page of his prisoner No. 001.

  【Name: Charlie V. Prudence】

  【Evil Value: Half Star】

  【Character profile (click to open)】

Um?

  What is this character profile?

  Would you like to open it?

   Higashinohara's upper body muscles are sore right now, and he probably won't be able to fall asleep in a short time.

   Being idle is also idle, he chose to open it with a slight movement of his mind.

   Without warning, Higashinohara's mind suddenly went dark, his consciousness seemed to be pulled out all of a sudden, and he sank into another body in an instant.

  The next moment, a panicked thought suddenly surged in his mind, and he felt a chill down his spine.
