Chapter 8 Continuous

Jason, who is not an idiot, guessed something the moment he saw the '+' sign.

Immediately, he turned his attention to the two skills [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Weapon (Basic)] and [Unarmed Combat (Basic)].

The description of the skill and the guess that matched Jason, then appeared——

[Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons (Basic): You know how to use light gunpowder weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, and rifles, but you are not a sharpshooter, so don’t expect the gun in your hand to do anything incredible. 】

[Have 1 satiety, yes/no to upgrade gunpowder weapons. Light weapons? 】

...

[Unarmed Fighting (Basic): The body itself is a powerful weapon. With basic training, you have certain skills. Although it is only an ordinary skill, it separates you from ordinary people. 】

[Having 1 satiety, does/whether improve unarmed combat? 】

...

"Can I directly improve the skill level I have mastered?"

With such a guess, Jason chose to upgrade [Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons (Basic)] without hesitation.

If [Satisfaction] is sufficient, Jason doesn't mind improving two skills at the same time, but on the premise that only one can be improved, Jason prefers [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Weapon].

Without him, at this stage, the power of firearms is even more powerful.

When Jason made a choice, immediately, a flood of knowledge appeared in his mind.

This knowledge includes more aiming and shooting skills. They seem to have been acquired by Jason after a lot of tempering. It makes Jason feel that he does not need to aim, but only needs to feel, and he can raise his hand and hit about 10 meters with a shot. The target, but more importantly, Jason found himself more and more 'intelligent'.

Not an illusion.

but real!

[Gunpowder Weapons. Light Weapons (Beginner): Not only do you know how to use light gunpowder weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, and rifles, but you also gradually understand their characteristics, effect: Perception +0.1]

...

"After the skill is upgraded to the entry level, can you not only master the skill more deeply, but also improve the attributes?"

After Jason confirmed this, his eyes narrowed.

He seems to have found the key to breaking the game.

Not just in front of you, but also outside the 'notes'.

At this moment, his injury has recovered and his 'shooting' skills have improved to a higher level. Facing the three armed attackers, his odds of winning have increased by at least 20%!

And, this is not the final situation!

He can also continue to improve himself.

if only……

Enough 'food'!

Jason glanced at the iron pot with anticipation in his heart.

Then, instead of acting impatiently, he picked up the iron pot and drank the soup little by little while waiting patiently for Bundy.

The soup didn't give Jason a satiety, but it was delicious enough.

"It would be great if there was a steamed bun or slice of bread to wipe the pan."

Looking at the oil flower on the inner wall of the iron pot, Jason set it aside with a little pity, he had already heard the footsteps of the sheriff.

next second.

Boom, boom, boom.

"It's me, Bundy."

At the knock on the door, the sheriff said.

"Please come in."

As soon as Jason's voice fell, the other party holding the three kraft paper bags couldn't wait to open the door.

"They are more direct than my descriptions."

With such words, the other party handed three kraft paper bags to Jason.

The kraft paper bag is not heavy to start with, and the date is written on the cover.

August 5th, August 8th, August 11th.

Jason picked up the one with the earliest date.

When he opened the kraft paper bag,

He took out the paper inside, and when he saw the top one, he couldn't help frowning.

This is a painting that is enough to be called a masterful painter.

It's just the content that really makes me uncomfortable.

The two calves are in the center of the drawing, and there is no part above the knee. The original trouser legs are drooping on the feet, covering the shoes.

Even in black and white, Jason still has the illusion of seeing a bloody picture.

The drawing after this drawing depicts all of this from multiple angles, and includes separate trouser legs, shoes, and depictions around the street, making Jason's bloody picture more and more clear.

After a dozen or so, Jason began to open the second kraft paper bag.

Compared with the paintings in the first kraft paper bag, this one is even more uncomfortable.

because……

Inside was a puddle of minced meat.

That's right, it's minced meat, like a dumpling stuffing.

Other than that, nothing else.

However, the painter still dutifully depicted the pile of dumpling fillings from all angles.

The third kraft paper bag painting, still maintains the two uncomfortable styles.

a head.

This head is very complete, not broken, but only half of the face remains, and the remaining half of the face is completely melted, revealing the bones.

The remaining half of his face was full of despair and fear.

Jason looked at him, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill.

Then he restrained himself from showing any strangeness, and looked up at Bundy.

"anything else?"

Jason asked.

These kraft paper bags contain only drawings, no written descriptions, and no records.

Obviously, this is supposed to follow certain rules.

Of course, it is also possible that they are managed separately, and he, an 'outsider', cannot view those.

If it's a real 'Night Watchman', he should know a lot about it, but as a 'fake', he can only get away with ambiguity.

Fortunately, Bundy had no doubts.

After Jason's voice asked, the sheriff said it immediately.

"The first thing that happened was Punk. He was supposed to return here before dawn to take over the shift, but he didn't come back until after sunrise, and was finally found by our people in an alley."

"Then Kurz. Like Punk, he didn't turn in his shifts on time, and then... we confirmed his identity through the police badge in the minced meat."

"In the end it was joffer, the continuous police attack made us more vigilant, but the result was no different, joffer died and his partner Tal was also missing."

"We tried our best to find Tal, but for three days, there was no clue."

Bundy spoke with a deep sadness on his face and lowered his eyes.

Jason frowned as he looked at the kraft paper bags and the drawings, and a question emerged in his mind: Is it one or more monsters that caused such a tragic situation?

If there are multiple monsters, then the situation here is even worse than he initially guessed. He has to face multiple monsters lurking in the dark, and the danger is rising.

And what if it was a monster?

It's not going to get better, on the contrary, it's getting worse.

Take a look at the sketches depicting the scene. If it was really done by a monster, then the other party would be far more cruel than he imagined, because this has long gone beyond the scope of 'hunting and predation'.

The other party regarded this as a 'game'.

Moreover, the other party is cunning enough!

A cruel and cunning monster, not so easy to deal with.

Of course, what caught Jason's attention the most was these or this monster. Why did he specifically target the police?

Is there any connection between them?

To confirm, Jason asked.

"Anyone else among the victims?"

"Anyone other than a police officer."

"No!"

Bundy answered with certainty.

"Um."

Jason nodded thoughtfully, and then, just when Jason was about to continue to ask something, there was a sound of running fast in the corridor, without knocking on the door, the door of his room was pushed open, a young policeman. The staff hurried in.

"Sir, I found Tar."

"he……"
