v3 Chapter 86: gluttony

Inside the single-family house at 9 Hyacinth Street, Constant City.

Valentine crouched down at the table, reading a book of psychology and writing and drawing.

He is less than thirty years old, with neat black hair and quiet brown eyes. There are no memorable features in his appearance, but he has an unforgettable temperament.

Just three years ago, he was still an ordinary public school teacher, living a life of poverty that could be seen at a glance, but by chance, he joined an organization called "Psychological Alchemy Association", and now Not only did he own the single-family house he dreamed of before, but he also became a Sequence Seven Beyonder.

This level is already a mid-sequence in modern times, and even within Constantine's organization, it is already an upper-middle level.

And he was able to advance so quickly, entirely because he was appreciated by that adult and gave him the corresponding Beyonder materials.

Of course, it is also inseparable from his meticulous logical thinking, and he summed up the "acting method" by himself in less than half a year.

At the party he organized not long ago, he took on a task issued by the adult to make a local factory owner and his partner, a businessman doing multinational business, turn against each other.

Valentine did an investigation after taking over the task and found out that not only did the factory owner and the businessman have a good personal relationship, but that the only daughter of the factory owner was the fiancee of the businessman's eldest son...

It can be said that, if nothing else, the connection between the two parties will only become closer and closer until they become one family.

Therefore, in order to complete the task, Valentine used some means, exploiting the weakness of young people's lack of knowledge, to make the businessman's son fall in love with a courtesan, and to design the factory owner's daughter to break the adultery between them...

Then, he used his extraordinary ability to "guide" the girl to extremes, and it would be reasonable to commit suicide by jumping into the river, and would not arouse suspicion.

And the only daughter died because of this, no matter how good the personal relationship between the factory owner and the businessman, there is a high probability that they will turn against each other...

What's more, Valentine also arranged several back-ups to ensure that this matter went according to his ideas.

"I'm really enjoying the feeling of manipulating other people in the palm of my hand and fiddling around!" Valentine sighed, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his thoughts. In his opinion, the strong dominate the weak. It's normal, just like when he was a public school teacher, he never cared about bullying among students.

But at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, Valentine thought the "good news" had arrived, so after drinking a cup of coffee slowly, he said "come in".

Soon, a man with a portable camera on his chest walked in.

"How is it? Did you get it?" Valentine put down the coffee cup and said leisurely, "This news may become the headline of our newspaper and drive more sales."

It is worth mentioning that Mr. Valentine is now the owner of a tabloid newspaper. After he "hinted" the factory owner's daughter, he instructed his reporters to "just" take pictures of jumping into the river.

Of course, he must have made the reporter forget something afterwards, so that he just thought he was passing by by chance.

"Boss, that lady hesitated for a long time, but she didn't jump into the river..." The reporter who entered the office said helplessly.

"What?" Valentine raised his head, showing a look of shock for the first time. He stared at his subordinates and asked, "Did something happen around her? Tell me in detail what you saw. "

The reporter was taken aback by the boss's attitude, but he honestly told what he had seen and heard. In his mouth, the young lady just leaned on the rail and watched the river for a while, then stood on the bank of the river for a while and then went back.

How could this be? How did she get rid of my cues? Valentine frowned as he listened, and finally asked, "Where is she now?"

"It should be the rand club... She wants to rely on playing tennis and other sports to vent her depression." The reporter replied.

This reason is his speculation, after all, he can't get into high-end clubs.

"That's okay...it seems I'll have to go and see for myself what's going on."

Valentine thought for a while, used his ability to clear his subordinate's memory, then picked up his jacket and draped it over his body, and wanted to take a car to the Rand Club.

Unlike the reporters under him, he has members there.

But as soon as he went out, he saw several policemen pointing at him from a distance and telling something to a man wearing red gloves beside him.

The "Red Gloves" of the Church of the Evernight? ! My move was discovered? how can that be? I was so careful, and every time I made a move, I tried to make the development reasonable... The scum who directly hypnotized other people's families and occupied other people's identities in the organization were not discovered, how could it be that I was exposed?

But seeing that the red gloves had already looked over, Valentine did not dare to delay, and immediately took out the life-saving spell given by the adult, and recited the spell "Teleport" in ancient Hermes.

The next moment, he appeared in a dim building, in front of a man with a mask covering his face.

Seeing this, Valentine was about to salute and say what he had exposed, but before he could act, he saw the "adult" in front of him take off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

"It seems that you don't know who he is... You don't even know where this building is. Every party is brought in blindfolded, right?"

After speaking, the young man sighed and snapped his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, Valentine was surprised to find that he had returned to the office, still holding the coat in his hand, as if everything just happened was just a dream.

The only difference was that in front of him was not the reporter under his command, but two people, a man and a woman.

The femininity is lazy and beautiful; the man is exactly the same as the "adult" who just took off the mask.

"First Evolution"

Although Valentine's mentality is inflated, he is not a fool. Seeing such a situation, he quickly understands what happened. The pair of men and women in front of him are obviously powerful Beyonders. and the secret of the grown-up.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw the man opposite take out a monocle and put it on his eyes, and then said to himself:

"Although the information obtained is limited, there are still some gains...

"Do you really think that you have been appreciated yourself? Hehe, there is also the 'acting method', he really took great pains to make you think that he acted it out by himself, and arranged so many scenes to remind you... Even so, you It took the waste wood half a year to comprehend.

"And the reason he did this is nothing more than wanting to train you to Sequence 5 as soon as possible, and then 'eat' you to gain some characteristics of the source of your bloodline.

"The only reason he appreciates you is that you have a good ancestor!

"It turns out that the 'sealed artifact' in the mouth of the 'Dragon of Imagination' should have the ability to devour flesh, soul, and acquire the 'traits' of the ancestors of the devoured...

"But the devoured can't be too weak, at least at the level of Sequence 5.

"The half of the soul of 'Silica' may have been swallowed up by this Sealed Artifact... As a descendant of the God of Death, the power provided by her bloodline source is obviously not bad.

"'Gluttony'... This title is not wrong.

"However, the ability of that Sealed Artifact does not seem to be within the 22 pathways..."

This was also the last sentence Valentine heard~lightnovelpub.net~ After that, he completely lost consciousness.

The handsome man was naturally Abner. After he decrypted it with "Amon's Monocle", he took it off and put it away, and said to Forsi beside him:

"The 'Psychological Alchemy Club' meeting in Constant City will not be held until next week. At that time, with the help of this Mr. Valentine's identity, we can really get close to 'Gluttony' and find out his details."

Forsi blinked when he heard the words, and thought blankly, "What does this have to do with me?" Why are you telling me?

...

Outside the unnamed desert island, on the "Golden Dream".

After chatting with the two pirate generals "Lieutenant Iceberg" and "Admiral Pale", Klein heard the words "with the devil's resentment" from the lady "Messenger":

"I've made sure that Senor has landed on Blue Mountains to track down Hermothein and is going to besiege him next Tuesday.

"Do you want to be together?"
