Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 4: A Bad Day

The smell of danger in Cherry's room had not disappeared. Lewis seemed to feel a dagger against his throat, and he felt uncomfortable staying in the room for a moment longer.

About half an hour later, Lewis paid the two soli fee with a distressed heart, went to the bathroom, and left the brothel with a tired body.

The afternoon sun lengthened Lewis's figure, and as he put on his top hat and got on the stagecoach, the sense of danger disappeared.

Witch Sera, the white swan in the brothel caught Lewis' attention. He had reason to suspect that Witch Sera was a real witch, and might even be Sequence Six of the Witch Path - Joy.

……

Sitting on the empty fir sofa, watching the orange sunlight fade from the wooden cabinet, the voices in Lewis' ears began to become noisy and disordered.

Sometimes he was aware of crazy and strange whispers in his ears, and sometimes he was aware of pairs of eyes staring at him, as if they were telling him how to deal with him.

After a while, the whispers beside his ears faded away, and he heard the night watchman Dunn Smith complaining about his work in the room not far away, heard Mrs. Lynn talking about private matters with her best friend, and heard the sighs of passers-by.

At this moment, a light spread out in front of Lewis' eyes, and then the light fell to the ground and turned into fragments.

Lewis knew that he had successfully digested the monster potion, and from this moment on, he would be temporarily away from the shadow of losing control.

……

"Lewis, did you hear anything interesting today?" When the last ray of light left the room, Mandy opened the door and couldn't wait to ask.

"I heard Cherry complaining about her fiancé and heard the story of the witch Sera. I seem to have fully mastered the power of the potion. Not only are the sounds in my ears clearer, but I can also hear sounds within a few hundred meters around me." Lewis smiled faintly and pretended to be sincere. "This is all thanks to my sister for reminding me to be a real monster. Maybe we should have a big meal to celebrate."

"That's a really good suggestion." Mandy pinched her right eye socket without hesitation and said happily, "Before that, I think you need the next stage of the potion formula, which will make your body better."

"But the potion formula should be very rare. How are we going to get the potion formula for the next stage of monsters?" Lewis pretended to be puzzled.

The potion formula was difficult to obtain only for ordinary people. But for Amon, who had seen the second blasphemous slate, the formula of Sequence Eight was a piece of cake.

"Actually, we are quite lucky. When your mother sent you here, she was holding a parchment scroll tightly, which happened to record the potion formula of Monster Pathway Sequence Eight." As she spoke, Mandy went up to the attic. Not long after, she came down with a dusty parchment and spread it out in front of Lewis.

The extraordinary materials include 100 grams of star crystal and a complete heart of a human-faced kangaroo; the auxiliary materials include 100 ml of pure water, seven golden mint seeds, and 6 grams of gem powder.

The name of the Extraordinary Path Sequence Eight is Machine, which is exactly what Lewis knows.

"That's great. I know a black market where we might be able to buy what we need." Lewis pretended to be happy.

In fact, he resisted becoming Sequence Eight, and he didn't want to follow Amon's wishes.

"I also know about the black market you mentioned. Wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Mandy put on the black round-brimmed hat. The fine black gauze hung from the edge of the hat, covering half of her face.

Lewis watched Mandy leave, he didn't dare to relax, after all, Amon would not leave him alone, there might be another clone beside him.

This doppelganger could be a fly in the house, a neighbor, or even a microorganism on his body. Just because it cannot be sensed does not mean it does not exist. If he shows any abnormality, it is possible that a man wearing a pointed round hat will jump out from somewhere and tell him that his death is imminent.

An hour later, Mandy came in with the prepared potion and placed it in front of Lewis.

"Lewis, this is a sequence eight potion. Drinking it will be good for you." Mandy placed a bottle of prepared potion in front of Lewis and looked at him expectantly.

Lewis just felt like saying a few MMPs in his mind but he didn't know whether to say them or not. Even if he was acting, he had to do the whole thing. It only took him an hour to bring a Sequence 8 potion. This was a complete insult to the IQ of the unlucky Lewis.

Of course, Amon was right. The unlucky guy before had no intelligence at all.

He seriously suspected that Amon had killed a transcendent and configured the transcendent's extraordinary characteristics after his death into a potion, and this possibility was not low.

Looking at the potion, Lewis couldn't help but sigh at his ill-fated fate. Not only did he almost die as soon as he arrived here, but he also became Amon's tool. Even the Source Castle plug-in had nothing to do with him.

"Lewis, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid of becoming a superhuman?" Mandy asked as she watched Lewis' tears fall.

"No, sister. I'm just so happy. Having a gentle and beautiful sister like you is the best gift the goddess has given me. I'm so happy!" Lewis knew he had no choice, so he drank the potion.

In an instant, one illusory light after another lit up in front of his eyes, and then the lights connected together and turned into a ball of light that exploded in front of his eyes. The whispering in his ears gradually became clearer, turning into a pure white and crazy world.

Lewis tried to meditate and gather his scattered thoughts. The burst blood vessels in his body gradually subsided and his body returned to normal.

The potion was successfully taken, and Lewis breathed a sigh of relief. He felt his own abilities.

After taking the Sequence 8 potion, not only did his hearing and intuition become more acute, he also gained a strong control over his body, becoming a talented user of combat and weapons.

Of course, these abilities are only auxiliary. The core abilities of the "machine" are divination and counter-divination, which is a bit like a fortune teller.

"Lewis, how do you feel?" Mandy asked, pinching her right eye socket.

"I feel great, maybe I should join the army and be the commander of those curly-haired baboons," Lewis said half-jokingly.

"There's nothing joyful about commanding a group of curly-haired baboons. Take a rest today, Lewis, and have a good dream." Mandy kissed Lewis on the forehead and went back to the room.

Lewis suddenly realized that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind, full of twisted, cunning malice. After becoming Sequence Eight, the monster's abilities were enhanced to a certain extent.

He didn't dare look back, perhaps it was Amon's clone.

Lewis suppressed his fear and returned to his room. In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up and touched his stomach. Then he remembered that Amon didn't make dinner for him.

"What an unlucky day. I hope I can get rid of Amon soon." Lewis thought as he listened to the slight growl of his stomach and fell asleep again.
