Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Chapter 446: Nightwatcher Squad Chapter 507: Chapter 446: Nightwatcher Squad Feeling the hidden gaze observing him, and moreover, it seemed someone immediately went outside to report.

Tao Yu hesitated inwardly.

After all, his coming to Tingen was to avoid disaster, mainly to ward against the possible capture by Becland’s Demigod.

But the current situation was obviously not due to that matter from Becland.

In a small place like Tingen, Eve had mentioned that the strongest official extraordinaries were only around Sequence 7 at best, and at most there might be some Sealing Techniques that could be mobilized, it would be quite good to be able to contend with a Sequence 6.

Tao Yu, who had killed Zilinges, really didn’t feel much pressure.

This made him weigh his options quickly, and he also abandoned the choice of praying for himself.

…

In the worst-case scenario, he could manage with his own frontal abilities alone.

Moreover, Tao Yu really did not want to draw too much attention from the official extraordinaries.

“My Divinity is suppressed within my Mental Body, completely unlike when I’m fully covered using the black sludge, and I am also in a state that can be divined, so simply hiding doesn’t seem convenient.

This identity is largely exposed, and since it’s going to be exposed anyway, I might as well make use of this…

waste.”

Tao Yu didn’t care much about this fake identity, if it got exposed, then so be it.

But considering the information he had learned from the great detective, if he showed a good attitude, the official extraordinaries weren’t out to shout and kill every wild extraordinary.

Perhaps he could actually establish an informer’s vestige, that would be even more convenient…

“However, the problem is that my Sequence is ‘Assassin,’ and whether as an Assassin or an Instigator, it seems I will indeed do some terrible things to digest a Witch Potion…

”

Tao Yu pondered this in his mind.

But he had one advantage, he certainly hadn’t killed innocents wantonly, and that could also pass the test of divination!

“As long as they don’t make me enter a church to pray to the Divine Spirit or something like that, then I might as well negotiate, and if it doesn’t work out, I can just abandon this identity and make a run for it.”

Feigning ignorance, Tao Yu continued to wander about the market, starting to bargain with others, buying some more common ritual materials.

He also bought two books, the authenticity of which was unknown.

And it was at this moment that Tao Yu noticed that the bartender, who didn’t look young but was still strapping and disheveled with brown hair, had quietly arrived at the entrance.

He was likely also an extraordinary.

But he hadn’t made a move to capture him directly; was it because he was unsure?

Or was he waiting for official extraordinaries.

“About to make contact with official extraordinaries, even if it’s unrelated to me, I would probably be shadowed for a while.

Even if I agree to become an informer, they probably wouldn’t be so reassured…

”

With these thoughts in mind and while still relatively free, Tao Yu quickly muttered mentally,

“The Fool that does not belong to this era…”

Then he reported up that he might be a bit troubled recently and might have to ask for leave for the next Tarot Club meeting.

Tao Yu did not have to wait long; he hadn’t even seen the official extraordinaries when suddenly, his Mental Body and Astral Body both experienced differing degrees of daze, and sleepiness overcame him as if he had entered the realm of dreams.

This made the core of Tao Yu’s mind tense up.

It must be some kind of extraordinary power invading.

But he himself acted as though completely unaware in the dream, continuing to move about ‘the market’ in accordance with the dream.

Then he saw a sign that read ‘Sequence 7 main material for the Assassin pathway.’

If it were reality, such an abnormal sign would surely raise his guard, but in a dream it seemed only natural; this led Tao Yu to proceed ‘with joy’ towards it.

The owner of that stall must be the culprit behind this dream.

Tao Yu caught sight at first glance of the man’s slightly receding hairline, his prominent nose, and his deep grey eyes that exuded profoundness.

“How much for the Witch Potion?

Do you have all the materials?”

The Tao Yu in the dream seemed to have no guard up at all as he said this casually.

“I have everything.

I don’t sell for money, but require information in exchange.

Answer a few of my questions and it will do.”

“Alright, what information do you want?

Ask away.”

Tao Yu was completely unguarded.

“What is your purpose in coming to Tingen?”

“I was tricked into joining a strange organization when I was working in Becland.

It didn’t seem very proper, so I found an excuse to lay low.”

Tao Yu was almost entirely telling the truth.

“Is that organization the Witch Sect?

Do you know Trissy?

What is your relationship with her?”

Dunn looked at Tao Yu with gray eyes and continued to ask.

“Uh, I don’t know the name of my organization, and I don’t recognize Trissy.

I was a newcomer there, and they just said I had a lot of talent and potential.”

Tao Yu smiled wryly with some helplessness.

“Then who is your contact person in Tingen?”

“Mrs.

Sharron, but I discovered that the place was surrounded when my carriage passed by today, and I’m currently out of touch with the organization.

I want to take this opportunity to buy a Witch Potion and escape the organization’s control.”

Tao Yu said with utmost sincerity.

Not a single lie was told, yet the meaning expressed could be entirely different.

“How many people have you killed through the assassin’s path and the instigator’s path?”

“I haven’t killed innocents indiscriminately.”

Tao Yu spoke somewhat helplessly, causing Dunn to frown, momentarily thinking his ability had failed and the other party had woken up.

The previous Trissy had created a great number of tragedies, although now she might be going by Trissy.

But now someone who was collecting materials similar to hers was saying he hadn’t indiscriminately killed innocents?

It didn’t seem right no matter how he looked at it.

“Becoming an extraordinary was so I could be free and not turn into someone I dislike.”

It seemed to touch upon something, and Tao Yu, within the dream, appeared to speak as if moved by emotion.

This caused Dunn to take a deep look at him, and then he gradually faded and left the dream.

And in the dream, Tao Yu continued to shout,

“I’ve answered the question, where are my magic potion materials?

The materials…”

Slowly, the dream faded, and Tao Yu appeared to snap back to reality, waking up from the state where he’d slumped against the wall and down to the ground, still muttering,

“My materials…”

However, at the next moment, his expression slightly startled, as if he was very ‘surprised’.

Because by that time the market vendors had all cleared out, and in front of him, the crowd was arrayed in a fan shape, even wielding ‘high-pressure steam rifles,’ a kind of military-controlled item!

Tao Yu promptly raised his hands high in an honest surrender.

“I surrender, don’t kill me, I surrender.”

At this moment, that man with the high hairline Tao Yu had seen in his dream, who seemed to be the leader of this group, said to a young man beside him dressed in cheap formalwear, with black hair and brown eyes, and carrying a hint of scholarly air,

“Klein, do a divination to see if he lied about what he said in the dream.”

The young man, who appeared young but seemingly struggling financially, nodded, took out a pocket watch, and then did something that made the watch’s hands slowly move clockwise.

“The divination doesn’t show a problem.”

Hearing this, Dunn’s expression eased somewhat.

“He says he hasn’t killed any innocents, and there are indeed no related cases involving him.

Let’s borrow a vacant room…”

Dunn said to the bar’s owner, who also nodded in agreement.

Hearing that Tao Yu hadn’t killed any innocents, most of the extraordinaries relaxed a great deal.

They had encountered plenty of similar honest extraordinaries; as long as they were properly registered and did not affect ordinary people, they generally wouldn’t be pursued aggressively.

But extraordinaries are prone to losing control and going mad, so they have to report regularly to assess their mental state.

Their task is to protect ordinary people from harm caused by the extraordinary.

As long as an extraordinary appears harmless, there’s no issue, and sometimes, if their mental state is stable, they can even become informants!

Especially this one in front of them, who seems to be involved with the Witch Sect, might be quite valuable…
