Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 68 Another possibility

The party was over, and Lewis left slowly after most people had left.

After going out, Lewis immediately got on a carriage and drove it to the West Side, which is adjacent to Queens.

After getting off the bus in the West District, Lewis made several detours until he was sure that his whereabouts had not been discovered by anyone. Then he bought auxiliary materials from the black market and returned to the detective agency.

"From now on, don't come looking for me for the next two hours."

Lewis instructed Blau to make a sealed spiritual wall after going up to the attic, and then prepare the potion according to the recipe.

"There is no problem with this potion." Lewis flipped a coin and confirmed that it was heads up, then he immediately took the potion.

As soon as he drank the potion, he felt an unbearable pain in his head, and dense scales appeared on his hands, appearing crystal clear silver-white.

"Destiny!" Lewis muttered silently and used a lucky charm, which could ensure that he was lucky enough and would not easily encounter accidents.

After doing this, he immediately used meditation to converge his scattered thoughts, outlining the shape of the hat in his mind over and over again.

About ten minutes later, the scales on Lewis' hands gradually disappeared and the pain in his head began to subside, which meant that the potion was taken successfully.

"As expected of a Sequence 7. The moment one takes the potion, the possibility of losing control is much higher than that of a Sequence 8 or Sequence 9. No wonder in this age when Beyonders are rare, as long as one advances to Sequence 7, one can be considered a mid-Sequence."

Lewis quickly removed the sealed spiritual wall and felt the extraordinary power of "Lucky Man".

“The main ability I gained during this stage was luck. I would often encounter situations like picking up money when going out, or drawing the outline of a human body during a battle. However, this kind of luck was uncontrollable and sometimes high and sometimes low, so I had to try to control it.

In addition, the abilities of the 'machines' and 'monsters' have also been significantly improved. Now I may occasionally hear some secrets and may also sense special presences, so I must try to use this ability as little as possible. "

With a general grasp of the power, Lewis went downstairs. The extraordinary ability was not his greatest gain. The key was that he could pry more power from the "Key of Light", and it became possible to fight using the power of this magical item.

"Congratulations on your promotion. With your luck, you will go further than me." Blau took a look at Lewis and judged that Lewis at this moment was different from before.

That was a manifestation of power overflow. The extraordinary person who had just taken the potion could not use the power well yet, and it took some time to adapt.

Lewis sat by the window, brewing some tea and silently thinking about the key points of playing the role of "Lucky Man".

"Since the 'machine' is a bystander of fate, then the 'lucky man' should be the one favored by fate. At this stage, you should use luck more to play the role of the one favored by fate, but you should not use it too often, in case you have no luck to use when you encounter a battle."

As Lewis figured out how to play the "lucky guy," the overflowing power was gathered at a perceptible speed and effectively controlled.

Blau activated his psychic vision and saw that Lewis' aura was returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, which meant that the potion was showing signs of being digested.

"Can you find the key points of acting just by taking the potion?" Blau couldn't help but feel confused.

After thinking for a while, he added in his mind: "Lewis has always been favored by fate. He doesn't even need to summarize his acting skills. He can get through this stage at the fastest speed."

Although he was somewhat shocked, Lewis's promotion would be more beneficial to him. As long as he followed Lewis, perhaps he would be able to find an opportunity to take the potion within the next two weeks and be promoted to Sequence Five.

Boom boom boom!
About half an hour later, Lewis heard a knock on the door, and his mind naturally sketched out the image of the person outside the door. It was a gentleman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a neat suit, and about 175 cm tall.

"Mr. Dick Yarlin, is he feeling very anxious right now?"

"Come in." Lewis pretended to pick up the newspaper. He knew that the phenomenon just now was a further manifestation of the "machine's" ability.

Dick Yarlin pushed open the door. His face looked a little haggard. He nodded to Lewis after entering.

"Mr. Lewis, please investigate the evidence of my wife's infidelity. I am willing to pay you another 20 pounds after the matter is settled." Dick Yarlin took out a female hair from his bag and handed it to Lewis.

Then he took out a worn-out, brick-like camera from his bag and added:
"I borrowed this camera. The remaining film can take five more photos. Please use it sparingly."

"No problem. I will get the evidence as soon as possible, provided that Mrs. Joan really cheated on her." Lewis naturally did not refuse. After all, the price offered by Dick Yarlin was too high.

Generally speaking, this type of case of finding evidence of infidelity only costs about 8 pounds, and Dick Yarlin has already paid nearly 20 pounds in rewards, so he might be able to get another 20 pounds if he finds the evidence.

"I believe you are an outstanding detective, and I hope my wife has not done anything to hurt me." Dick Yarlin frowned, with a conflicted and painful look on his face.

He didn't stay long, handed the camera to Lewis and left.

"What Joan Yarlin is doing now."

After Dick Yarlin left, Lewis wrote down the divination statement on a piece of paper, and then fell asleep holding the piece of paper.

Passing through the pure white in front of him, Lewis saw a room covered by pink curtains, with lavender in the vase to purify the air.

On the big, comfortable velvet bed, the quilt was rippling, and it was obvious that something was really happening.

Lewis tried to change the angle to see the situation on the bed clearly. There was a man and a woman under the quilt, and they seemed to be better at playing than him.

Suddenly, the man crawled out from under the quilt, and his face seemed to be blocked by something, making it impossible to see clearly.

The dream ended here and Lewis woke up from his sleep.

"That lady is none other than Joan Yarlin, and the man with her is a little strange. I can hardly see his face clearly, but his figure is very familiar to me."

Lewis immediately came to the conclusion that Mrs. Joan had indeed cheated on her husband, and judging from her skill level, this was more than the first or second time she had cheated on him.

"What surprised me most was Mrs. Joan's commission. When she asked me to find Mr. Dick a few days ago, she couldn't hide the tension on her face, which proved that she loved him very much."

Drinking black tea, Lewis began to think, he suddenly put the black tea cup on the coffee table, and the liquid splashed out from the mouth of the cup.

"Being nervous doesn't necessarily mean she's worried about Mr. Dick. It could also mean she was lying!"
