Chapter 966: Bad Luck Summoning

At the street corner on the east side of Saint Delan Square, a few hundred meters away, Priest Ao Gu Si and Doctor Shi Nai De walked into the square together. They walked along the side of the street not illuminated by the street lamps. Both of them were calm: "Doctor, I am here to send Xia De an alchemical item. This is what I owe him. What are you here for? This area is strictly monitored by the Church tonight. I spent a lot of effort to walk over without being discovered. This time I must give Xia De a surprise," Priest Ao Gu Si said softly. The old priest seemed to be in a good mood tonight. "The Academy sent news at seven o'clock, asking me to monitor this area tonight and report what happened after tonight. The best monitoring location is naturally Xia De's home. He should lend me the window. The Academy also told me that this area is strictly monitored by the Church tonight. I also spent a lot of effort to walk over," Doctor Shi Nai De said, nodding, and turned to look behind him: "When I came over from that street just now, I saw people fighting in the sky. What happened tonight?"

Although Priest Ao Gu Si didn't know about the "Wise Man's Glow Stone", he knew it was related to the "Chosen One". He didn't want the doctor to get involved in such things, so he just shook his head. Both of them were heading to Xia De's home, but they had just crossed the square and approached the fountain in the center of the square when they frowned at the same time and looked in the direction of No. 6 Saint Delan Square. A man and a woman, two strangers, were looking into the room from outside the window on the first floor of No. 6 at this time. Clearly, the two strangers were in this position just now, but the doctor and the priest only noticed them at this time. Bi Shi Nai De and La Te Ao Gu Si frowned deeply. On Silver Cross Avenue, in the enclosed room on the second floor of the Association of Prophets, it was silent in the darkness. Everyone was staring at the table under the white light. Lu's eyes were fixed on the puppet representing Xia De, who was moving toward Saint Delan Square: "It seems that my luck is not bad tonight. Although Hamilton cannot scout the whereabouts of Master Thief Jack, he has a perfectly reasonable reason to go to Saint Delan Square." "But what is the use of one-time luck?" Professor Lu's back Miss Green said softly: "At present, although your story characters are indeed strong, they are not strong enough to win. One-ring mages are still afraid of bullets, otherwise, why didn't you manipulate the characters to attack Xia De Hamilton at the beginning of the story?"

Her analysis made everyone else at the scene feel a little relieved. Professor Angsi pointed to his companion: "Guess why I wanted to be with this gentleman, the believer of the great Mr. Bad Luck, Mr. Angsi?" The young cultist raised his head and looked at the crowd, and after kissing the evil god's holy emblem again, he asked softly: "Professor, is it my turn to take action?" "Yes."

The middle-aged professor nodded. "The story can't always go smoothly. It's time for some twists and turns."

Lu asked very alertly: "What are you going to do?" The cultist took off his holy emblem from his chest and placed this holy item with elements on the table: "Keeper, I offer this holy emblem to you in exchange for all the characters in the story encountering bad luck."

The figure in the black robe raised their right arm, and with a gentle wave of the wide sleeves over the saint, the saint vanished. The professor explained to Lu, quite satisfied: "Only a few powers can directly interfere with the game; among them are the saints of gods related to fate, stories, and wisdom. And the luck summoned additionally for the story will only result in things that can reasonably happen within the story's setting; gods, angels, or relics will not appear abruptly." "Yes, that vice-president of the Truth Society anticipated in advance that the character chosen by the church would have extraordinary qualities. Therefore, we arranged for strictly contained relics at various intersections nearby in advance. When luck descends, fate will cause those relics to lose control. Our character knows how to deal with those specific relics, but that Mr. Hamilton..." The disheveled-haired cultist revealed a smile, his yellow teeth looking exceptionally terrifying. The bearded captain of the Gear Church wanted to start cursing again, and the old Mr. Modero of the Peace Church clenched his fist. Dorothy, protecting A'Jie, was just about to swap with Ya again to inform Xia De that a relic would attack him, but Lu spoke at this moment: "One of my friends once told me many times that manipulating fate only leads to being toyed with by fate. Luck summoned by malice only leads one onto the path of fate." She picked up the parchment recording Xia De's information. The voice of the black-robed Keeper of Secrets rose from the darkness in all directions, describing the story's next progression: "The night is as cold as water. On the streets of the winter night, the mortal's luck, Xia De Hamilton, is still pondering the thief's target. He seems to hear the terrifying whispers of luck. When he looks up again, he finds himself surrounded by darkness. The mortal's luck encounters a document-level relic in the dark night: the crowd of cats. Abandoned objects, cats dying lonely in trash heaps, the malice gathered together condenses into a swarm of cats in the night. Because of the sudden event of luck's descent, Xia De Hamilton cannot escape by any means. Now, perform a mental check. Roll the dice; if the number is lower than 200, he will immediately go insane from witnessing the relic." "200? But Mr. Hamilton is just an ordinary person..."

Someone said in the darkness. Duo Luo and A Jie were not nervous at all, while Princess Grete, who was close to them, was a little panicked. Although she didn't know why Xia De became an "ordinary person", she didn't want this capable knight who had helped her to die here, or be exposed here. The thrown number was 25. Lu unfolded Xia De's parchment. Although the number was small, her expression was not panicked at all: "Number 25 points, symbol bonus 10 points, character trait 'Cat Affinity' bonus 76."

No one doubted this point. Although Xia De didn't often take Mia out, many people had seen that cat. At least many people had seen it at the Lake View Manor, so people knew Xia De was very popular with cats. "Character special ability"

Duo Luo, Princess Grete, and A Jie held their breath, thinking she would read out the exposure of her identity: "Cat training, provides a coefficient of 3 bonus in this judgment..."

She looked at the description on the parchment and threw the dice again. This time the number was 53. People at the table, even if they knew they shouldn't make a sound, couldn't help but sigh. Lu's eyes swept over "Supernatural Creature Affinity", "Moon and Cat Connection", "Basic Blessing of Time Mission - Life Friendly", "Fire Shock" and other traits that couldn't be read: "Character special ability 'Cat Training' bonus, 53×3=159, total 270, judgment passed."

"Wait, is this too exaggerated?"

The young cultist who summoned bad luck immediately questioned: "It is true that ordinary humans may master some very powerful skills through long-term training and their own unique talents. If Xia De Hamilton has a 3-fold bonus coefficient in gambling, I won't be surprised at all, but why does his cat training have a 3-fold bonus coefficient?"

The Keeper ignored this questioning, but Lu looked serious and sighed: "This only shows that Hamilton chose the wrong profession. He might as well go to the circus. This way he can raise cats and play cards. Hamilton's cat is orange, and tigers are also orange. They are very similar." The three princesses in the darkness tried hard to hold back their laughter. Lu continued to add: "No matter how proficient you are in cat training in reality, you can never rely on this to evade the mental influence of relics, but the story is so magical. I should thank you. If Hamilton were not a story character, he would really go crazy now." Lu didn't read out the special bonus values, many of which directly exceeded the 20 required for judgment. For example, the special state "Ten Thousand Souls" bonus 200, the souls trapped on the edge of life and death on Xika Mountain, even if each one only gave Xia De a little blessing, the resulting mental resistance was quite amazing. And the fourth profession "Time Investigator" in addition to "Detective", "Professor Student", and "Agent", the special nature of the profession itself provided an extra 275 points of bonus for this judgment. In addition, in the legend column of the parchment, the three special titles "Awakener of Gods in Toby", "Mermaid Nemesis of Cold Water Port", and "Undead Enemy of Mid-Heidelberg" each provided 300 extra mental resistance points, plus the strange arts and arts that need to be judged by rolling dice, and other scattered special bonuses. It was very easy for Xia De's judgment to break through three thousand if it were really calculated. The seventeen-year-old girl didn't know how to lose at all. "He just didn't go crazy, but he is still being influenced by the relic. Do you think this relic will not actively attack him? He is just an ordinary human, fate will not always take care of him."

The professor of the Truth Society reminded. As his voice fell, the voice from under the hat came out: "Document-level relic Group of Cats launched an attack, need to pass soul defense, physical defense continuously to..."

It suddenly stopped telling, and everyone felt surprised, but no one dared to urge. This strange silence lasted for a full half minute before the broken story had a follow-up: "Document-level relic Group of Cats retreated. On a cold winter night, murdering an ordinary person who is close to cats is clearly not a good idea. Perhaps it was because it sensed the existence of other terrifying powers nearby, they retreated. Group of Cats entered the containment state from the out-of-control state. Mortal Luck Xia De Hamilton's bad luck was lifted, and he continued to go to Saint Delan Square." "Ha?"

The cultist opened his mouth slightly, never expecting such a thing to happen. Duo Luo breathed a sigh of relief and didn't tell Xia De the current situation for the time being. "What terrifying power is in this area?"

Miss Green asked Mr. Moduo on the side softly, and the latter shook his head slightly: "This is the city center of Toby, how could there be terrifying power. I understand, it seems that fighting has already broken out nearby. That street is on the edge of the story scene, maybe it's an unknown Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi nearby, or some kind of relic they carry, disturbing the Group of Cats." No one could guess what happened, but clearly the young detective was lucky. ===== CHAPTER 967 =====
