Chapter 101 "Ordinary People" (4000) (Thanks to the Book Friend Changqing1040 for the 5,000 Starting Coins Reward)
And this time it was real.
He definitely felt that he was affected by something else, and this influence was not caused by the secret weapon. In fact, Kaxiu had guessed before that after he defeated and absorbed the Demon Shadow, his perception was slightly improved.
It seems that some of the characteristics of the Demon Shadow were integrated and mastered by Kaxiu.
Now he felt the influence of another aspect.
He became more brutal and bloodthirsty.
There are advantages. When Kaxiu releases murderous intent in battle, it can affect the enemy's fighting spirit and interfere with the opponent's combat skills.
For example, Kilia, whose head was twisted off before.
Of course, there are disadvantages. When Kaxiu kills, it becomes more bloody, as if he is purely venting violence. This state is not good. Reasonable killing is the realm that Kaxiu pursues.
Anything will reveal its flaws once it is impulsive.
Only when the heart is calm can you fight again and again.
"Huff..."
Under the moonlight, in the cold wind. Kaxiu's chest kept rising and falling, and the excitement in his heart was gradually suppressed. In most cases, he needs a rational self, not an impulsive self. Unless, he really can't help it...
He exhaled a heavy breath of hot air, looked at the tattered cloth on his body that looked like a beggar's clothes, and shook his whole body violently.
A dozen bullets fell down, bouncing and rolling on the gray-white floor, making a series of crisp sounds.
"I have to apply some ointment when I go back..."
The wind-shaped secret martial arts that Kaxiu practiced was not a secret martial arts that was biased towards physical defense. The reason why he was so resistant to beatings was mainly because of the realm of blood acceleration twice. Therefore, when the gangsters opened fire, Kaxiu's body was still broken.
If he could practice a hard qigong, he would probably be invulnerable to swords and guns, and even his skin could not be broken.
Abandoning his thoughts, Kaxiu glanced around the huge mansion, and no one heard the gunshots and rushed over here.
It is estimated that these people are the only ones left in the Black Fire Gang's base late at night, and they were all called by Edward to move a car of antiques.
"Although this area is relatively remote and not a residential area, it is better to absorb it quickly just in case..."
Kaxiu tapped the ground with his toes, and the whole person suddenly turned into a running black shadow, stepping lightly over the bloody corpses on the ground.
He instantly came to the front of the black Futai car, and as soon as he approached, Kaxiu's mouth had a faint bitter taste.
He was delighted and hurriedly quickened his pace to rush over.
The curtain behind the Futai car had been lifted. There were more than a dozen antiques that had not been moved away in time. The obsession antiques that Kaxiu wanted were probably in them. He immediately reached out and touched them one by one excitedly. When he touched the sixth one, Kaxiu's eyes lit up, and a stream of cold air spread along his arm.
It was cool at first, then it became cold, and finally it turned back to cool. Kaxiu obtained a total of 0.5 obsession energy.
He glanced at the other antiques and continued to try.
No.
But there are still many antiques piled up in the warehouse.
Kashu immediately walked into the rectangular warehouse. All the antiques were temporarily piled together, just to save him the trouble.
He tried one by one, but was not very lucky. The only one with obsession energy was Lisha's pocket watch.
A total of 0.7 obsession energy was absorbed.
I don't know whether this obsession belongs to Lisha or the original owner of the pocket watch, Kashu's uncle Natsu. But it doesn't matter. Kashu wants to take this pocket watch not because of the obsession energy, but more to commemorate Lisha.
Slowly exhaled a breath of cold air.
Kashu stuffed the old silver pocket watch into his arms.
The cold metal shell was quickly soaked by body temperature.
He glanced at the upper right corner.
"Obsession energy: 2.4+0.5+0.7=3.6"
This is completely fine. Kashu estimates that the third time backtracking will require at most 2.5 obsession energy, which is absolutely safe.
I'm still lucky... I just returned to the real world and encountered the antique transport vehicle of the Dust Organization. Five obsession antiques were obtained at once, and the accumulation was enough in an instant, and there was even a little more. I'm afraid there will be no such good opportunity next time...
Kaxiu sighed, and without worrying about gains and losses, he went directly to the rear shed of Futai's car and took away an antique makeup box.
He came out the same way he went in, and jumped over the wall.
Halfway through, he had a black bag in his hand. It was full of obsession antiques that were absorbed by Kaxiu's obsession energy.
Taking advantage of the night, he returned to Jessica's apartment. Just as he was about to go up the stairs, a middle-aged man hurried down from above. Kaxiu slightly leaned to the side, and the two almost bumped into each other.
"I still have to change a place to live, preferably alone. Otherwise, it's troublesome to have people coming and going in the apartment... and I'm destined to be a dangerous person, so it's better to live alone."
Kaxiu thought to himself.
He walked all the way to the fourth floor, opened the door and went in.
With a click, he turned on the light. He sat on the sofa in the living room and took out the antiques in the bag one by one.
Antique wall clocks, landscape paintings, white porcelain bottles, and makeup boxes.
Of course, there was also a silver pocket watch in the inner pocket of the clothes.
Kaxiu brought back these antiques that had absorbed all the obsession energy not to sell them for money, but to do an experiment. Can the energy in the obsession antiques be restored again? According to the previous obsession antiques, it should not be restored, but after all, the number of antiques in the past was too small.
Kaxiu wanted to experiment a few more times to see if there were any exceptions.
If there were exceptions, there would be another way to obtain energy. His demand for obsession energy was still very high, and he would never have too many obsession antiques and legendary antiques.
Under the light, Kaxiu took a look at the four antiques. He suddenly discovered that the textures of these four antiques seemed to be very similar, especially the fine thorn edge patterns on them.
It was like the same type of furniture series.
"Could it be an old object in an ancient house or castle? Why do all of them contain obsession energy? Where did the Dust Organization get it from?" Kaxiu's mind suddenly became suspicious, and he thought of many things in an instant.
After a while, he looked at the time, and it was already two o'clock in the morning. Kaxiu immediately put the things aside, brushed his teeth, took a bath, and went to bed. He didn't want his biological clock, which he had maintained for several years, to be messed up, and other things had to be put aside before sleep. Get enough rest, so that you can have the energy to practice secret martial arts during the day.
Time passed, and it was the next morning.
There was a crisp bird call outside the window, and a beam of sunlight shone on the white bed through the gap in the curtains. Kaxiu, who had closed his eyes on the pillow, suddenly opened them and rolled over to get up.
Looking at the alarm clock, it was already 9:30 in the morning.
Kaxiu quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and made a simple breakfast for himself as quickly as possible. After a short rest, he took out a bag of medicinal materials from the cabinet. He moved the wooden barrel filled with boiling hot water to the empty room and threw the medicine bag directly in. After a while, a strong smell of medicine filled the air.
This is a must for a daily medicinal bath.
Kaxiu jumped in naked, and immediately a heat enveloped his body. After a while, the muscles and skin all over his body felt painful like being bitten by insects.
It was so dense that it sometimes even became extremely itchy.
Kaxiu performed breathing techniques and posed in a special posture. He was calm and focused, constantly absorbing the medicinal power of the potion.
Practicing secret martial arts is a day-to-day thing.
Absorbing the magic shadow is just the icing on the cake, and hard work is the foundation of everything. In less than half an hour, a basin of hot water became cold and clear, and all the medicinal power in it was absorbed by Kaxiu.
Five minutes later, he took a cold shower in the bathroom.
A moment later, Kaxiu came out of the bathroom wrapped in a white bath towel, and sat on the sofa with wet hair.
The weather is very good today. Through the open window on the right, you can see the pure blue sky and white clouds like cotton candy. The wind keeps blowing in from outside and lifts the curtains.
It's already half past ten. Kaxiu will take a rest and have a meal, and then go to the mixed martial arts fitness center in the city center.
He is the annual VIP member there.
Compared with the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall, Kaxiu likes it there more. Because the mixed martial arts fitness center has more complete equipment, wider space, and more thoughtful service. And there will be fewer eyes from women who are jealous of their bodies and have bad intentions.
In fact, the aesthetics of this era actually tend to be tough guys. Deep facial features and well-proportioned muscles are very popular. Men with good looks are not sought after by women. Of course, if they are not sought after by women, they may be sought after by other men...
Kaxiu made a cup of black tea while waiting for his hair to dry.
He took a few sips, then picked up the bag next to the sofa and put out the antiques one by one.
After fiddling with it a little, Kaxiu frowned.
I don’t know if it’s because there is water on his hands after taking a shower, and the air flow makes him feel cold, or if the obsession energy has really recovered?
He subconsciously looked up at the upper right corner.
The obsession energy number did not jump or change.
Kaxiu closed the window and reached out his hand to touch them one by one. There was indeed a cold feeling in the palm of his hand.
But the number in the upper right corner did not change.
He was confused until he touched the fourth one.
Kaxiu paused with his right hand and blinked.
The data in the upper right corner has changed!
"Obsession Energy: 3.7"
Added 0.1.
Could it be because the previous single antique restored too little obsession energy? So it takes four to add up to 0.1.
Kaxiu thought it was probably the case. He turned his eyes and took out the obsession antiques that he had absorbed before and touched them again. Unfortunately, these antiques did not restore energy.
He touched the silver pocket watch again, but it didn't work.
It seems that only these four antiques can restore energy.
There must be a secret behind their origin!
Without going into it for the time being, Kaxiu came to a conclusion through this experiment that some antiques can restore obsession energy. He will continue to experiment next to see how much obsession energy these four antiques can restore and where their limit is.
In any case, this is a pleasant surprise.
Kaxiu is in a good mood now. He immediately started to pack things into his shoulder bag and then put on a set of white T-shirt and casual pants.
There is also a skull logo in the center of the T-shirt.
He opened the door and walked down the stairs. He went to the north side of Citi Street for lunch, and then took the tram to the downtown area of Shirakawa.
First, he found a jewelry store and had his silver pocket watch serviced and cleaned. Then he also got a string of alloy necklaces. This thin chain can string the silver pocket watch together and hang it around the neck. And it is strong enough and will not break under normal circumstances.
In addition, the jewelry store also gave a bottle of cleaning liquid. Some simple cleaning and maintenance card repairs can be done by yourself at home.
After all, this era is equivalent to 1950, and the development of commercial stores in various fields has been quite mature. Kaxiu found a green newsstand on the roadside and went in to buy a newspaper.
As expected, a line of big words appeared on the front page of the city newspaper.
"A gang fight occurred on Feren Street last night, killing and injuring more than ten people"
Below is a detailed report of the content, with some not-so-bloody pictures next to it. There is also an evaluation of the criminal investigation expert in the content, saying that the two gangs fought over territory, and one of the gangs took advantage of the night to kill the Black Fire Gang.
"Hehe..." Kaxiu laughed twice.
As the culprit, he naturally knew how the Black Fire Gang members died. The reason why the criminal investigation expert said so was probably because the content deduced based on the evidence at the scene was too shocking.
A punch blew up someone's head, and a hand knife cut someone in half. The flesh carried bullets and easily crossed more than ten meters in one step.
Based on the evidence at the scene, it is actually possible to make some guesses.
The Shirakawa City Government has never come into contact with such things, and the police station is also confused. Of course, the content of the report cannot be based on the actual situation, so naturally, an excuse was made up to fool people.
There are no surveillance cameras in this era, and the probability of Shirakawa City Police Department following the clues to find Kasu is almost zero.
After reading the newspaper, he stuffed it into the trash can.
Kasu took out a VIP card from his arms, walked into the mixed martial arts fitness center in Shirakawa City, and practiced until the afternoon.
It was close to the working time of the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall, and he took the tram to Hongta Street. For Kasu, going to the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall to teach fighting skills is no longer just for money, but more like a preliminary screening of talents, remembering the boys and girls who are worth training.
For example, Tifa, Phil's friend Milo is quite talented.
In the retrospective era, Teacher Lixia kept talking about inheritance. Maybe in the real world, Kasu can select a few apprentices to train for fun. At least, leave a seedling for the Wind Elephant Gate that had disappeared seventy years ago.
With a clatter, the back door of the tram opened.
A few minutes later, Kaxiu walked into the Gray Seal Martial Arts Hall with his bag.
"He is indeed a good fighter. I heard that he is quite famous in the area around Edelweiss Middle School. However, no matter how famous he is, he is just an ordinary person... Facing the extremely vicious and superhuman claws of the demon shadow, it is only a matter of time before he is killed..." Ugo said to himself.
He looked at Kaxiu's back as he pushed the door and walked into the martial arts hall, shook his head, and then walked away. The Shadowless Organization wants to mobilize some forces to Baichuan City, and he needs to contact them.
Thanks to the book friend for the two hundred starting coins reward from Good afternoon.
There will be another chapter later, but it will be later.
