“Hmm…a [Gunfighter]? The ability to ‘Gunfight Skill’ is hard to draw…”

Su Lu looked at an odd-looking card in his hand that emitted a peculiar glow.

On the originally blank front side, a strange symbol emerged. Half of it represented a ‘hand’, while the other half represented a ‘firearm’.

This meant that after numerous failures, he had finally drawn the ‘Gunfight Skill’ ability card he had been aiming for from Horatio!

After numerous experiments, Su Lu understood that the seals of [Odd Technician] were targeted. For instance, he was proficient in sealing legal and agility abilities because they suited him the most.

As for ‘Gunfight Skill’ which combined numerous abilities such as ‘Hawkeye’, ‘Shooting Correction’, ‘Arc Trajectory’ and so on, it was challenging to draw and seal.

The hard part here refers to the high number of failures, not that it was impossible!

“Its effect…is to allow a person to have ‘Gunfight Skills’. The abilities are slightly weaker than a real [Gunfighter] and can last for about an hour…”

Su Lu treasured this card and put it into Greedy Gloves. This storage equipment, made from Greedy Snake skin, was named ‘Greed’ by him, reminding him of the dangers in the Dream Spirit World.

At this point, a shadow came to his side, handed over a shiny silver revolver and a large number of bullets with complicated patterns engraved on them.

“Brass? Mercury? Silver…even Gold? The Eleventh Bureau is extravagant…”

After briefly identifying the materials and effects of the different bullets, Su Lu couldn’t help but admire.

He didn’t kill Horatio, he just used them like a sheep, vigorously shearing them.

After all, there was no grudge, and they didn’t make a move on him.

In passing, he borrowed a batch of ‘equipment’, after all, the White Eagle Federation is well-off and certainly wouldn’t care about this loss!

With a sweep of his right hand, a faint light flashed on ‘Greed’. The void fluctuated, countless lines twisted, seeming to turn into a huge mouth-like gate, swallowing the revolver and bullets.

At this point, within Greed, a large number of trick cards and a black demon hunting dagger were already floating.

“With this batch, it should be about right…”

Although he set a rule for himself not to provoke professionals from large forces.

But Su Lu found that in Lore city, there were too few places where he could shear wool safely, so he had to take a little risk.

‘Anyway, I am leaving after doing this job. Even if they find out clues, it doesn’t matter…after all, I am Sean Beta!’

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he watched his shadow clone disappear and moved in another direction.

That was the direction of the ‘Devil’s Rose’ bar, where Guy’s informant was.

He didn’t want to compromise, instead, he was prepared to find Guy and the lair of the Ancient Snake Society by following clues. He would first cripple them and then forcibly pull out what he wanted from their minds!

‘Originally…I wanted to cooperate, but your conditions were too harsh.’

‘Now it’s convenient, if you don’t give it, I’ll take it myself!’

Su Lu clenched his teeth.

Anyway, the members of the Ancient Snake Society were all crazy, and it wouldn’t be wrong to kill them when he saw them.

When the time comes, first cripple them and then use ‘Mind Magic’, you can always find clues to the [Dream Master].

The [Odd Technician] invading the mental secret realm of the third-stage professional is just likely to be discovered!

Just like a thief breaking into a house to steal things being discovered has a high probability, but he is not done if discovered, he might instead turn directly into a robber!

Devil’s Rose Bar.

David, the bartender dressed in a white shirt and black vest, and with a radiant smile, was making a ‘Stephen Cocktail’.

Many bright liquor and juices merged or separated in the violent shaking, forming layers and colors like a rainbow.

Bang.

The bar door was pushed open, and a young gentleman walked in.

He didn’t flit his eyes to the dancing women, heading straight for the bar, pressing a bill under a cup: “I’m looking for Guy Mokum!”

“Very well!”

David flashed a brilliant smile, surreptitiously pocketing the bill: “He’s usually in the second floor’s rest room. Room number three…”

Once the man had gone up to the second floor, he pulled over a waiter: “Go to the basement and notify Mr. Mokum…his guest has arrived.”

The waiter stood stock-still, like a puppet.

“What are you doing? Go already!”

David was about to slap him in angry exasperation.

Just then, he saw the waiter across him smirk eerily, his face morphing into that of the gentleman from before.

Multiple lines took them as their centre, continuously shattering in all directions.

“This…”

He looked at Su Lu in front of him, his expression becoming confused.

“Just an ordinary person, making me use ‘Mind Magic’ against you, you should feel honored… Forget this event.”

Snapping his fingers, Su Lu disappeared.

Outside the Devil’s Rose bar.

He wore a trench coat, his hat pulled low, almost covering his eyes: “In the basement?”

Through his observation of the Mental Realm, and invading the intelligence, Su Lu found that he had over-complicated matters. This bar was a point of contact, rather than a gathering spot.

At this moment, most of the people drinking inside were ordinary people – only an expert level occupational person of the third order was there.

That was Guy Mokum himself!

“Right now, I could directly invade his Mental Secret Realm from the Mental Realm, but risk being discovered… Moreover, Guy is after all a part of the Ancient Snake Society. Those madmen, once they know that I’m on the [Spirit Medium] path, might have a special preparation, a means to protect their minds.”

“To be safe, I will first cripple Guy in reality, then interrogate him.”

According to the teachings of mystic study, a strong body is the source of a powerful mind. Under normal circumstances, if not specially trained, once an occupational person’s body is shattered and restrained, their mind defense also becomes fragile.

“Guy is a [Light and Shadow Expert], skilled at manipulating shadows, creating illusions, as well as light and shadow magic…”

He thought for a moment, and all of a sudden, a shadow clone appeared beside him.

This clone was wearing a white shirt and black vest. Its face writhed and morphed to match the appearance of one of the waiters in the bar.

This was the likeness of the waiter David had called over previously!

Su Lu flipped his right hand and pulled out a revolver, specially choosing bullets with effects like ‘Demon Breaking’ and ‘Break Illusion’, handing it to the shadow clone.

Immediately after, he used a hard-earned Trick Card ability!

“Gunfight Skill!”

A flash of crimson light and the card automatically burnt up, with the symbol representing a hand and a firearm etched onto the shadow clone.

“Hmm?”

Because of his dual perspective, Su Lu felt it as well.

“So this is…Gunfight Skill?”

He controlled the shadow clone, looking at his own hands, feeling as if the revolver had become an extension of his own body, capable of performing many incredible actions that would normally be unthinkable.

At the same time, his vision was also enhanced, possessing terrifying dynamic sight and the ability to calculate bullet trajectories!
