Special people are not scary. What is scary is that this person is not only special but also extremely sick.
Where is the disease?
heart.
In fact, in the eyes of others, Valentine behaves quite normally. Although he occasionally behaves foolishly, it is not considered to be a disease, it is just a bit joyful.
To put it bluntly, he has no brains and is an idiot.
Being able to do something like taking your family out for fun even though you know there is a threat approaching, being called a fool is already very embarrassing.
Of course, the premise for such an evaluation is that Valentine's true strength and mentality have not changed much. The Battle of Qicheng did not make this kid improve much.
The majestic forest and the continuously full range of thunder and lightning are just explosions when facing death. Under normal circumstances, he is still just a medical warlock who is relatively resistant to beatings.
This is exactly what Valentine showed.
A guy who is very talented and lucky, somewhat confident and even arrogant, and whose mental age is several years younger than his real age.
Fooled almost everyone.
As a similar person to Kelsey, Shadow is an old guy who has lived for who knows how many years. Naturally, his perspective on things is different from ordinary people.
The passage of time washed over her eyes, turning the originally clear and clean pupils into disguise. Under that layer of falsehood was an indescribable depth of chaos.
What is surging inside is countless histories that can only exist in darkness.
These experiences tell Shadow that Valentine's true face can never be what he appears to be.
Acting too normal. If this kid hadn't disappeared after the Battle of Qicheng, she might not have become suspicious.
Coupled with the bombshell information about "visitors from another world", Shadow had no choice but to go out and monitor this guy personally.
This allowed her to see the battle between Valentine and Night Owl.
From the beginning, this kid never entered the room and stood outside all the time. When his illusion opens the door and enters Ye Xiao's territory, it is also the beginning of Ye Xiao's trap.
Being able to deceive a senior assassin who specializes in illusions, knowing the opponent's weaknesses in a short confrontation, effortlessly gaining an advantage by igniting feelings, and finally deceiving her trump card...
The poor bird killer didn't realize that the target in front of him was fake until the end.
If it was Shadow who was being played with, I would have to give this brat a hard time before I left.
Even if you can't beat him, you still have to have momentum.
Just this battle made Shadow understand that Valentin's psychology has definitely changed a lot.
As for what would make him think he was sick...
A woman's sixth sense.
This is no joke.
Shadow remembered the name of every target he had killed and every piece of information he had read about the mission, but he could not remember how long he had lived or how much money he had spent.
During the dark and long working hours, she saw too many people's changes, too many coincidences, regrets and difficulties.
Countless rivers of life converge together and rush towards the abyss of death. The shadow was not among them. She stood on the shore and watched the ebb and flow of the tide, as if she was isolated from the world.
It was in this environment that she was able to see through a hint of destiny and possess magical abilities that were not Origin Stone skills.
Relying on this ability, she sensed that Valentine would encounter big ups and downs in his life, and the appearance of Night Owl confirmed her guess.
During the battle between Valentine and Night Owl, Shadow not only saw that he was hiding himself, but also sensed something abnormal about him.
Like a poisonous snake hidden in dead leaves, silent and undetectable by anyone, waiting for the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the target.
So……
Who is his target? Will it be Rhode Island?
What happened in those woods to make him like this?
Why is half of Xista connected with him?
…
Countless questions lingered in Shadow's mind.
She could vaguely feel the connection between the target and the things around her. She helped Razer rescue the enemy this morning because she discovered the seagull controlled by Valentine.
It happened to give Shadow a chance.
She found a pencil and placed it on the mailbox on the roadside. More than ten seconds later, a car passed by, causing a wave of air that blew the pencil over.
A teacher happened to be passing by the mailbox and saw the pencil dropped on the ground. As soon as he bent down, a skateboard boy rushed over and the two of them bumped into each other.
It happened that the place where the two fell down was at the door of the flower shop, where there were a bunch of ornamental plants, and the two made quite a fuss.
At this time, a tour bus happened to pass by. The bus driver happened to be a middle-aged man who liked to watch the excitement. His attention was attracted for a second or two by the chaos on the roadside.
The traffic lights on this road are old-fashioned products without a countdown. They change from green to red in just one or two seconds, and are ignored by the driver.
It happened that the red bat was played with by the seagull controlled by Valentine and did not notice the approaching tourist bus.
Several coincidences were intertwined at this time, which determined the outcome of Red Bat being injured and admitted to the ICU.
This is Shadow's Origin Stone skill, and it is also an important reason why she can be a lifelong agent.
After dealing with the red bat, Shadow followed the clues and found Valentine who was controlling the seagull.
It was at this time that she discovered that countless "tiny threads" were emitted from Valentine's body, and at the end of the "threads" were not only the controlled birds, but also the people on the entire promenade.
Even though the "thread" was extremely thin, so thin that those people couldn't feel it at all, it still made Shadow break out in a cold sweat.
She and Valentine actually had a "thread" before, but this was because Shadow's investigation into him made their lives connected, which was normal.
If you just pass by on the road, this "thin line" will disappear within a short time after it appears.
That's why Shadow paid so much attention to Valentine, who had connections with everyone on the road.
Either that or the whole road has taken a keen interest in Valentine.
Either that or Valentine took a keen interest in everyone he saw.
So strong that I want to interfere in their lives.
…
After listening to Shadow's story, Kelsey seemed very calm and even took a sip of tea.
"Red Bat will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, allowing him to continue working in the Supervision Department."
"Keep your eyes peeled."
"ah?"
Shadow blinked her big innocent eyes.
"I'm not telling you about Valentine. Don't you still want to deal with him?"
"This kid is definitely holding something bad in his heart..."
"so what?"
The hour hand pointed to one o'clock, and the alarm clock on the desk rang, which was quickly pressed by Kelsey.
"Are there many dangerous people like him in Rhode Island?"
Shadow didn't reply.
"As long as he doesn't show his fangs, he is still an operator of Rhode Island."
"It will be too late by the time he shows his fangs!"
Seeing Kelsi's calm and calm expression, Shadow gritted his teeth and his voice couldn't help but rise.
"Do you still remember our original goal?"
"Before the Founding of Rhode Island."
Kelsey ignored the other party's emotions. She raised her head and looked at the ceiling.
And the shadow suddenly calmed down at this moment.
It was like someone poured a basin of ice water on me, from beginning to end.
