"6! Another lady was killed! The murderer had no scruples!"
The glow of gas lamps illuminated the bold letters on the front page of the Daily Observer.
Since the fourth victim, every time a new victim appears, they will report it in the form of a count subtitle, vigorously exaggerating the brutality of the murderer and the powerlessness of the police.
A finger calmly crossed over this line of bold font, and finally returned to the beginning, clicking on the number "6" a few times.
The finger quickly stopped, but its owner continued
As before, the victims were all women. They were all wearing gorgeous long skirts, and their internal organs were removed by caesarean section. They were also scheduled to have sex every three days... The description of the love reminded him of sixteen years ago. The serial killer who shocked the entire city of Tingen.
That's right, this is a eucalyptus with obvious traces of devil worship.
Dunn, who had simply adjusted his image, sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace and made a preliminary judgment on the recent serial murder.
The sequence level of this murderer should be higher than that of the "serial killer", so... is it sequence 6? What would his serial name be? Well, even the "serial killer" can create effective interference with divination and psychics. This murderer with a higher sequence than him is obviously better at this. No wonder it has not been solved yet.
Jingle, jingle.
The doorbell rang.
Dunn looked up from the newspaper and saw the dark and gloomy sky of Backlund in the evening through the window.
The weather in Tingen is much better than this... With this thought, he stood up and walked to the door, turned the handle, and opened the door.
There were three people standing outside the door, one woman and two men.
"Captain Dunn, we're coming."
As a crisp voice sounded, the lady standing in the front took off her white gauze hat with a light golden ribbon on her head, revealing a slightly freckled face with a somewhat unique androgynous temperament.
With short blue hair and a childish burgundy complexion, she was none other than Lydia Wallace, the "Singer" who followed him when he was in Tingen.
The familiar title "Captain" made Dunn's dark gray eyes shake slightly.
"Well, come in." He nodded slightly and stepped aside to make way for the door.
Dunn's eyes scanned the three people who entered the door in turn, from Lydia to Harold, and finally settled on Admissor.
Although it was a bit difficult, he still found a familiar image in his memory that almost overlapped with the young man in front of him——
"Monster" Admissor.
It turns out that he disappeared because he followed Valeela... It seems that he is a real "monster" now... Looking at the black hair becoming neat, there is no longer that young man who is half sleepwalking and half crazy expression, Several thoughts flashed through Dunn's mind.
Soon, several people sat on the sofa in the living room.
"Now that we are here, we will be companions from now on."
Dunn spoke first, carefully considering his words before continuing:
"You should know that Valeela asked you to follow me because she hopes that I will take on the responsibility of an instructor and help you grow further."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and looked at the expressions of the three people.
Harold and Admissor both nodded in response to his gaze, and Lydia nodded even more excitedly.
"Since we are partners, we should trust each other."
Seeing that they were very cooperative, Dunn nodded slightly and continued:
“Let’s start by introducing ourselves.
"I am Dunn Smith, the 'Dream Demon' of Sequence 7. I have quite a lot of experience in the extraordinary world, and I also have experience in leading a team."
His introduction to himself was very simple, even Mo Hu, and said nothing about his experience in the "Nighthawks" team.
"I don't need to," Lydia smiled.
She added:
"Captain, don't be too modest. I told them about my operational experience with you."
When she was in Tingen, she followed Dunn and investigated the surrounding residents of the "Black Thorn Security Company" and a series of related people in the "Red Chimney House", and she had a high sense of identification with Dunn.
In fact, even if Dunn didn't mention it, they could probably guess that Dunn was an official Beyonder.
But what does it matter? It's not the case anymore anyway.
Because of Valeera's relationship, they knew the mainstream attitude of official Extraordinaries towards wild Extraordinaries, but at the same time they could understand the official approach of preserving more ordinary people and would not be too hostile to official Extraordinaries.
"Harold Joestar, Sequence 9 'criminal', used to be a policeman, a very good one."
Harold spoke after Lydia and added with a smile:
"I'm not bragging. I almost got promoted to sergeant."
Although he has not yet summed up the appropriate rules for acting, he has digested a small part of the magic potion to some extent. The mental coercion of resisting the desire to commit crimes has also been greatly alleviated. Now he takes off the mask and becomes himself again. , my mentality was more relaxed than before, and I was still in the mood to make a little joke.
"'Monster' Admissor."
Admissor reported his sequence and name, and also hinted at his past experiences.
He said that on purpose.
From the experience recounted by Lydia, it was not difficult for him to guess that Dunn had been an official Beyonder in Tingen before and might have known about his affairs.
"In Sequence 9, I have high inspiration, but everything else is average." He then added another explanation.
After finishing speaking, he also turned his attention to Dunn, who was sitting on the single sofa.
Dunn thought for a moment, then looked at Harold and said:
“Since you are an excellent police officer, your marksmanship and fighting skills should be very good.
"According to the standards I used to lead the team, you are considered a qualified new team member and can start contacting the field."
Then, Dunn looked at Admissor again:
"Your current position in the team should be as a support, similar to a 'divineer', but you also need to practice fighting and marksmanship to increase your self-protection ability.
"You can tell fortunes, right?"
"Almost," Admissor nodded, "I can see certain scenes of revelation during meditation."
Dunn nodded slightly and finally looked at Lidya:
"You are also considered an auxiliary, so you'd better practice fighting and marksmanship.
"Considering that you may not have enough strength for the time being, you can only practice your reaction and avoidance skills first."
After a brief evaluation, Dunn picked up the newspaper next to him, showed the headlines on the front page, and said:
“The murderer of this serial murderer should be a Sequence 6 Beyonder.
“Generally speaking, if we are a well-coordinated team, we actually have a chance to catch him.
"Below high-sequence, extraordinary abilities from different pathways are matched with each other. Even if they are only low-sequence, as long as they are reasonable, they will have a strong effect.
"That's the power of the team."
The "Daily Observer" passed through the hands of four people and finally returned to Dunn's hands.
After a period of conversation, the estrangement between them disappeared a lot, and they all recognized and accepted Dunn's leadership, and the four-person team was vaguely formed.
Lydia also gave the team a name——
"Invisible Guardian".
"Well, the tacit understanding of the team cannot be cultivated in a day. Just give a rough outline today."
Dunn looked at the three team members in front of him, Tong Kong slightly losing focus.
He pursed his lips and smiled, pointed upstairs, and continued:
"There are four vacant bedrooms upstairs. You can take your luggage and choose. I won't go up.
"After settling in, we'll have a dinner outside."
The three of them agreed happily and went upstairs one after another. After a few words of negotiation, they each chose a room.
