To Four Thousand Years Later

v4 Chapter 170: true as steel

When Arthur woke up again, he realized that he had just passed out suddenly.

What just happened?

After he agreed to Myron Durant's conditions, he lost consciousness just in a trance. Arthur didn't open his eyes immediately, but continued to maintain his previous breathing, carefully feeling his surroundings with his five senses.

He appears to be lying on a bed, covered with a quilt. But it's not the same thickness as yesterday... So there is a high probability that he is no longer in the previous hotel. Judging from the strength and direction of the light perception, it is speculated that he should be lying indoors now, and the only light source is a kerosene lamp of ordinary power. Or did you draw the curtains? Arthur's heart moved slightly, feeling his own hunger.

All he had in the morning was two slices of bread and two eggs, a glass of milk and a slice of bacon. In terms of his size, this can only fill up half to sixty percent. And judging from his current hunger level, the possibility of losing a piece of memory can probably be ruled out... From the analysis of his mental state, he may have fallen asleep for five or six hours. According to the time, it should be between three and five in the afternoon. At this time, the curtains were drawn and the kerosene lamps were lit, which was not in line with the night life habits of the Franks.

From the analysis of the fatigue of his legs and feet, he did not walk more than 3,000 steps today. Should have drank water not long ago, but not too much. In this case, Arthur thought for a moment, and in his closed eyes, the blue sea-like psionic fire gradually began to burn, and gradually lost his five senses... I hope there are no psionic people around to watch.

- The psionic power he holds is called "True as Steel", which is a relatively rare type of analytical psionic power. He clapped his hands skillfully and stood up. This is the hallucinatory place he created for himself. No matter how long the past is inside, there is only a short time outside. It can be used to organize information and adjust emotions.

This is also the reason why Arthur never gets angry when talking with people - it's not that he won't get angry, but the moment before he is about to get angry, he has vented in another place and calmed down.

With a wave of his hand, a thick, lit cigar emerged out of thin air. He took a puff and waited for the aroma of the cigar to hover in his mouth before slowly exhaling.

"Then, let's analyze it from the beginning."

Arthur calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Let's take a look at the details of Myron Durant first." In front of his eyes, azure blue flames rose, and a figure of "Myron Durant" emerged.

That was Mr. Durant when he entered his room.

"His gaze was very firm, and he looked at my position the moment he entered the room, without Sili looking around.

Arthur patted his stomach and snorted softly: "Very good. It seems that he is a frequent visitor here, at least he knew the layout of the room.

"It rained last night, but he didn't wear rain boots when he went out, and there was no mud on his shoes. This means that he went straight here from home and didn't go anywhere else on the way.

Tuiruo, he suddenly grasped the portrait's left hand, lifted it up, and carefully stroked his nails.

"The nails are very short, including the little finger—this is not in line with the fashion of the Frankish nobles. The nails are clean and clean, but the hair has been beaten and greased in the past three days, and he leaned over and sniffed Mr. Durant's The nape of the neck: "Well, I haven't showered for about three or four days. Then I think he is probably not a person who loves cleanliness, he only cares about his hands. "So what is he going to do with his hands? Or, what did he touch. He had to wash it every day. Clean your hands? Dangerous chemicals? Or drugs? Arthur whispered, waving his hands and building another portrait beside him. That was the moment he promised to go with Mr. Durant, the expression on Durant's face facial expression details.

...Ah, I see. Arthur exhaled softly. When he slowly pushed back the other person's face and expression according to the time axis, he finally saw an orange fire burning in the other person's eyes at the edge of his unconsciousness.

"The psionic power of the control system.

Arthur thinks: "But obviously, his ability is not complete mind control, nor will it be memory erasure. Otherwise, there is no need for him to say so much, let alone leave these memories for me.

"So, is there any activation condition? What happened near the activation of his psionic power. After a moment of silence, Arthur reacted: "It is' yes. I promised him that I would go with him. Then I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I had already appeared in a strange place. Consensus at any level. Contemplating, Arthur took another sip of his cigar and threw it into the air. The cigar burst into a blue flame in an instant. Many large and small entries floated in the air, with Either dotted or solid lines connect together...

【Operating taverns and other entertainment venues】

[Frequent exposure to dangerous chemicals or drugs]

【Signed on the bill to abolish the death penalty】

...so, he's selling items at the tavern now? A drug grown from the New World? Arthur thought for a long time and came to a general conclusion: "They came to me for my medical knowledge?" no, no...

At this point, he was suddenly taken aback.

"He needs my cover? And the resource I hold is a monopoly in the rubber industry?

Let's start from the beginning. Arthur clapped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Myron Durant is a businessman who serves the overseas faction. The overseas faction has planted drugs in the Americas or somewhere. It entered the country through rubber-related channels and Durant's status Being able to touch and use these poisons... He is worried about taking them by mistake, so this kind of drugs is very harmful. As Arthur whispered, azure blue flames rose up around him, forming dense words, and There are a lot of keywords and pictures related to it." He has the ability to enforce the agreement, or let the person who promised him be controlled by him, and the reason for me to be framed here is to let me help him deal with drugs . He signed the abolition of the death penalty also because of the large amount of drugs he handled.

"Am i right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the azure blue flame words around him all solidified into steel in an instant.

This means that his conjecture is completely correct.

Arthur hadn't used his psychic powers for almost a year.

His psychic power is "real as steel", in addition to allowing him to enter the hallucination space, he can also perform a "truth judgment". He may give a written account of an event that occurred, if the evidence is sufficient. You can make a judgment. And the event text marked as "true" will turn into steel. And every wrong word will turn into a sharp knife and fall. Let him feel the pain of being pierced.

As a result, the illusion before Arthur's eyes completely collapsed and peeled off.

He already has a bottom line in his heart.
