MTL - Lord of the Secret Art!-Chapter 42 Box of Flesh

   Chapter 42 The Box of Flesh

   "What do you mean by that?"

   The desire that rose in the heart of the rich man seemed to be poured down by a splash of cold water, his face suddenly changed and he asked Minaval.

   "After you killed Ariel, although you erased Ariel's smell and breath, the security bureau couldn't track Ariel's whereabouts through smell and breath."

   "But the Security Bureau has borrowed a cursed thing called the Bell of Yesterday, which can be traced back through the image."

   "The Security Bureau will do a video retrospective tonight to track where Ariel went before disappearing."

   Minaval raised the red wine glass and said.

   "You actually borrowed such a cursed thing?"

   The rich man's complexion became extremely ugly.

  If the Security Bureau really borrowed a cursed object that can perform image retrospective, then through the image retrospective, it must be able to find him.

   At that time, his identity will be exposed, and what awaits him will be death.

   However, he is not an ordinary person after all, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the current position in the gnawing teeth.

   He quickly discovered the abnormality and managed to regain his composure.

   "No, you're lying to me. If the security bureau will find me right away, it's impossible for you to come to me at this time."

   "No, I didn't lie to you. The Security Bureau did borrow such a cursed thing. As for why I came to you at this time, it was naturally to save you."

   Minaval touched the white cat in his arms and said.

   "After all, if something happens to you, the organization's plan in Constant City will almost fail, which is not what I want to see."

   "What can you do to save me?"

   The rich man asked hurriedly.

   "I have a cursed thing called the Box of Flesh that erases all traces, including images from the past."

   While speaking, Minaval patted the white cat in her arms.

  White hair jumped out of her arms, visible to the naked eye, and her body swelled suddenly.

   In a very short period of time, he turned into a monster with a height of nearly 1.6 meters.

  It has a human body, a cat's head, and four claws like cat's claws.

"Wow-"

  It opens its mouth, and the abdominal muscles wriggle, spreading all the way up, through the throat, and into the mouth.

   An adult slap-sized box with yellow-green mucus on it was spat out of its mouth.

   It picked up the box, put it on the coffee table, and retreated behind Minaval like a guard.

   Look carefully at this box, it is not wood or metal, but flesh and blood.

   The dark red flesh is like the sticky wall of some kind of creature, and the surface is full of folds.

   At the top, it has two eyes and a mouth full of fangs.

   At this moment, these two eyes are turning, looking around strangely.

   "I'm going to find someone!"

   The rich man stood up and was about to find someone to use the box of flesh and blood.

  The use of cursed objects requires a price, and he naturally won't do it himself.

   As for whether the person selected by him is willing or not, it is up to the other party.

   "The side effect of using the Flesh Box is to lose part of the flesh, and the side effects of this cursed item will vary from user to user."

   "If the user's strength is too weak, even if he sacrifices all his flesh and blood, he will not be able to activate it successfully."

   Minaval shook his head and said.

   "In other words, it can only be activated by me?"

   The rich man stopped and asked with a frown.

   "That's right, you can only activate it yourself, that's why I found you."

   Minaval nodded and said.

   "If you can just find someone to activate it, I have already found someone to activate it to erase the traces of Ariel for you."

   The rich man frowned.

  If the box of flesh and blood is not used, he is likely to be exposed, and if the box of flesh and blood is used, he will lose part of the flesh and blood.

   After only a few seconds of thinking, the man with a rich body made a decision and asked.

   "How to use the Flesh Box?"

   "Just put your hand into the mouth of the box of flesh and blood."

   Minaval took a sip of red wine and said.

   The rich man walked to the coffee table and handed his left hand to the box of flesh and blood.

   And the box of flesh and blood seemed to sense the thoughts of the rich man, and opened his mouth full of fangs.

  Puff!

   With the sound of flesh being bitten, half of the palm of the man's body was bitten off by the mouth of the box of flesh and blood.

   Chewed a few times and swallowed.

   swallowed this half of the palm, and the eyeballs of the box of flesh and blood rolled, seeming to be quite satisfied.

   An invisible wave spread, passed through the villa, and spread farther away.

   With this fluctuation, all traces of Ariel Soto, including the images of Ariel Soto in the past, including the corpse of Ariel Soto buried somewhere by a rich man, disappeared.

   This is not as simple as erasing traces, but to make the whole person evaporate from the world.

  What if it was a living person?

   Obviously, the box of flesh and blood is a very high-level curse, and the effect is not as simple as erasing traces.

  Minnaval glanced at the pale man who had lost half of his palm, and waved to the monster with the body of a cat-headed man behind him.

  The monster with the body of a cat head walked over to the coffee table, picked up the box of flesh and blood, and swallowed it with its mouth wide open.

   Then it shrank quickly, turned into a snow-white cat again, and jumped into Minaval's arms lightly.

   "Then I'll take my leave!"

  Minnavar stood up and put on the black fur coat hanging on the hanger.

   After saying a word to the rich man, he turned around and walked out. He quickly boarded a carriage and drove away from the villa.

   Inside the carriage, Minaval's expression turned contemptuous.

   "It's really useless, and I have to help to finish it off. It has been dormant for more than ten years. This is the organization's first action in these years, and it can't fail!"

  Ariel Soto does not know her place but knows her name, but she is not worried that the security bureau will find her because she has been using a pseudonym for the outside world.

  …

   On a street in the East District, the four of Fehling were following the image of Ariel Soto, getting closer and closer to the villa where the rich man was.

Sudden.

   Ariel Soto's image shattered and disappeared like a bubble, disappearing in front of the four Fehlings.

"what happened?"

   Julie hurriedly asked Fehling.

   "I did not stop the retrospective of yesterday's clock's image."

   Fehling shook his head blankly.

   He could feel that the bell of yesterday was still running, and there were still images of the past around, but the image of Ariel Soto had completely disappeared.

   "I don't know how Ariel Soto suddenly disappeared."

   "It should be that the other party noticed that we were tracking, and through some method, the image left by Ariel Soto in the past was erased."

  Lindy looked at the surrounding images except for Ariel Soto, guessing.

   "What then?"

   Fehling asked.

   "It can only go so far."

  Lindy said slightly regretfully.

   "It was obvious that a cultist higher than Ariel Soto would be caught right away, but he didn't want to let the other party notice when he was about to be caught."

   Julie looked regretful.

   "This shows that the opponent's situation is not simple, it must be a high-level cultist, and has a high position in the gnawing teeth."

  Lindy said.

   "And it's not that we didn't gain anything. We already know the name of Minaval, and we can use this name as a clue to investigate."

   "I'm worried that this will be the other party's pseudonym, or that the other party uses a different name when going out to the public."

   Julie was a little worried.

   "Whether it's a pseudonym or not, this is an important clue that warrants investigation."

   "Furthermore, it shouldn't be far from where the high-level cultist is hiding."

   "You can delineate a certain area with this as the center, and conduct a detailed investigation of the nobles and wealthy businessmen in this area."

After   , Lindy looked at Fei Lin and said.

   "Felling, it's time to end the use of the Bell of the Past."

"Um."

   Fehling complied, ending the use of the Bell of the Past.

  With the end of use, the clock of the past clock starts to rotate clockwise rapidly.

  The surrounding scenery changes.

   This time it is no longer backwards, but fast forward.

  Pedestrians, carriages...all moving things move fast in a fast-forward manner.

The    hour hand quickly rotates several times and then stops rotating rapidly, the image disappears, and the time returns to the current time.

   "How is it, do you feel abnormal memory?"

  Lindy hurriedly asked Ferrin who had finished using yesterday's bell.

   And Julie and Ivy also looked at Fei Lin.

   "I didn't feel anything unusual."

  Felin felt it for a moment and then shook his head. He didn't feel any abnormality.

   The total time spent using the Clock of Yesterday is no more than two hours. After the weakening of the Eye of Appraisal of the Three Rings, he only randomly lost less than four minutes of time.

   Losing less than four minutes of memory has little effect on him.

"That's good."

  Lindy breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although based on the experience of past users, it would not have any effect, but she was still a little worried. Fortunately, Fei Lin, like past users, did not have abnormal memory.

   "Everyone is tired tonight, take a half day off tomorrow and start work in the afternoon."

  …

   In the following days, the Security Bureau mobilized its intelligence capabilities to investigate the name Minaval and the wealthy nobles and businessmen within a designated area.

   The gnawing tooth has been alerted and is no longer in action, and the tasks related to monsters have been greatly reduced.

   Fei Lin didn't receive the task, so he went to work normally every day, and when he went to get off work, he took out the secret book of the mysterious gun and read it.

  The skyrocketing power has been adapted to by him these days, completely controlled by him, and there will be no more cases of excessive force and breaking things.

   After half a month.

   "It turns out that this is the practice method of the second-order to the third-order..."

Fei Lin gently closed the hundreds of pages of the Mysterious Spear to the Third Ring of Secret Techniques. It took him half a month to finally finish reading the Mysterious Spear to the Third Ring of Secret Techniques, and got a complete picture. The second-order advanced third-order practice method.

  Mysterious gun wants to advance from the second-level to the third-level, and must learn to master the characteristics of "armor-piercing", that is, let the bullet have the effect of "armor-piercing bullet".

   And the method is to engrave a ritual pattern with armor-piercing properties on the surface of the bullet condensed with mysterious power.

  When the bullet is fired, the ritual pattern will be activated.

  The mysterious power that constitutes the bullet will be motivated by the ritual pattern, and the bullet will have the effect of "armor-piercing bullet".

   "There will be a power gap of more than ten times between the armor-piercing mystical power bullet and the ordinary mysterious power bullet!"

  According to the description in the esoteric book, a mysterious power bullet engraved with the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute will be ten times more powerful than ordinary mysterious power bullets.

   The reason for this is that the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute improves the utilization efficiency of the mysterious power.

  Mystical power bullets that are not engraved with the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute are like hitting people with mysterious power as a stone.

   And the mysterious power bullet engraved with the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute is like processing the mysterious power into gunpowder.

   One is "stone" and the other is "gunpowder", and there will naturally be a huge power gap between the two.

   "With the complexity of the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute, it is not easy for me to engrave the mysterious power bullet without the ability to remember it."

   After reading the Secret Art Book, Fei Lin has realized the difficulty of the second ring and the advanced third ring practice method.

   If you want to engrave the armor-piercing attribute ritual pattern on the mysterious power bullet, you naturally have to memorize the armor-piercing attribute ritual pattern completely, and reach a deep level of memory.

   And the armor-breaking attribute ritual pattern is composed of many patterns, which is extremely complex, even more than the pattern of the mysterious spear enlightenment ceremony.

   It is extremely difficult to memorize it completely.

   It will take a very long time just to memorize it.

   "What's more difficult is that in order for it to be used in battle, it must be engraved in an instant."

   The mysterious power in the mysterious gun exists in the state of aggregation, and only when it is used will it be separated to form a mysterious power bullet.

   And this is doomed, the mysterious power bullet with the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute cannot be engraved in advance, and it can only be produced on the spot during the battle.

   During the battle, the situation is changing rapidly. Under such a tense situation, it is naturally impossible to slowly engrave the mysterious power bullet with the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute.

   Not to mention that the inscription is completed in an instant, and the inscription of the ritual pattern of the armor-piercing attribute must be completed in at least one or two seconds.

   Otherwise, the armor-piercing attribute ritual pattern has not been successfully engraved, and the enemy or the enemy's extraordinary ability has already attacked.

   "If you practice step by step, even if you practice for a year, you may not be able to use it in actual combat. Fortunately, I have a shortcut to take the panel."

   Fei Lin exhaled a turbid breath and called out the panel.

   Name: Fehling

  Eye of Appraisal: Three Rings (Upgradable)

   Mysterious Gun: Second Ring (Upgradeable)

   Autopsy: Master (not upgradable)

   Mystery Points: 10.7

   He looked at the column of the mysterious gun, and it turned out to be upgradable.

As he read the part of the second ring of the mysterious gun and the advanced third ring of the secret book, and mastered the practice method of the second ring of the mysterious gun and the third ring, the mysterious gun of the mysterious gun has changed from non-upgradable to upgradeable. .

   He is very fortunate that he has a panel and has this cheating ability.

  Otherwise, let alone the title of a super-talented person, he would be favored by a large-scale force like the Security Bureau, even if he joined a mysterious organization.

   can only be like detective Caffy Colon, although he yearns for a mysterious world, but he can't open the door and join the mysterious organization to get in touch with the mystery.

   "There will be movement in the promotion, and the mysterious gun can only be upgraded after get off work."

   After get off work in the afternoon, Fei Lin stopped by a restaurant for dinner and returned to his residence.

   Back at his residence, he locked the door and sat on the sofa in the living room.

   After taking a few deep breaths to calm his mind, he called out the panel and chose to upgrade the column of the mysterious gun.

  Shoo!

   As he chose to upgrade the column of the mysterious gun, the mystery points decreased by 4 points to 6.7 points, and the word "second ring" of the mysterious gun became the word "third ring".

  A large amount of memories poured into his brain like a tide.

   Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
