Gou learns witchcraft in another world

Chapter 13 A Sudden Accident

Search Target: 0002

[Mental Strength: 11.4 (Normal person 10, first-ring wizard 20)]

[Mana Points: 0/12]

[Talent Data: Unknown]

On the way back to headquarters, Luo Qiu nestled comfortably in the cracked artificial leather seat in the passenger seat.

A single silver coin increased his mental strength by 0.4 in a short period of time.

He didn't keep the silver coins with him, after all, he had his own bottom line to uphold.

Upon finding the silver coin, he decisively activated his talent. Exhausting his magical power, he finally gained something.

However, the extraordinary power of that silver coin was not completely exhausted; at least one-third of its extraordinary power remained.

But looking at Smith beside him, Luo Qiu felt that the chances of persuading him to search the study again were slim.

"What's wrong? Are you disappointed?"

"Senior, the case file says there were no signs of struggle on Mr. Noah's body, not even muscle stiffness. I didn't believe it at first, but today I really couldn't find any traces in the study to prove it..."

"Mr. Noah's friends all have alibis, and no neighbors saw anyone visit Mr. Noah that day. Even if it were a thief, they wouldn't choose to commit the crime during the day... I really have no clue."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Smith's slightly bewildered eyes and dejected expression were quite obvious.

Luo Qiu knew that he was affected by the situation of the two recent cases.

That's how young people are; when their passion is dampened by the cold reality, it's hard not to feel emotional.

However, Luo Qiu has no intention of comforting the other party for the time being.

Although a Smith with full action potential could take him to more 'special cases' and help him find more extraordinary things, he wasn't in a hurry to advance to the first tier of promotion.

His plan was to increase his mental strength by 10 every two months, which is equivalent to an increase of 1 every six days, but the current speed is more than twice as fast.

It's better to play it safe.

In a few days, Smith's mood will adjust back to normal.

In addition, Luo Qiu was also thinking about something.

Just now in Mr. Noah's study, he didn't see the red light at first glance. It wasn't until he opened the box that the special features of the silver coin became apparent.

This is no simple matter.

Can the box block one's innate vision?

Having only awakened his talent a few days ago, Luo Qiu wasn't very clear about how to explore it, but he had summarized some patterns.

Any exposed extraordinary object within the field of vision can certainly be observed.

In his field of vision, even supernatural objects that are not very thick, such as clothes and cardboard boxes, can be observed, such as the "cell phone" in his arms, and the gem in the cardboard box the day before yesterday.

Of course, he can't guarantee that right now.

As for heavy objects, such as walls or the iron box that holds the silver coins today, he still doesn't understand.

But he also had some guesses.

My innate vision is likely used to detect those overflowing supernatural powers. The supernatural power emitted by supernatural objects can penetrate clothing and cardboard boxes, so it can be detected. If I encounter something that can isolate supernatural power and prevent its leakage, it might not be so easy to use my abilities.

Just as he had previously wondered why he couldn't directly observe those extraordinary individuals, perhaps they were suppressing their extraordinary power to prevent it from dissipating, thus making them undetectable. If they were using witchcraft…

boom--

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar.

After the noise, Smith immediately stepped on the brakes.

squeak-

A screeching sound of brakes rang out, and the objects inside the car were propelled forward by inertia.

Luo Qiu nearly crashed into the glass in front of him, but luckily he grabbed the handrail in time and avoided an accident.

Once I realized what was happening, all my previous thoughts vanished, and I just reflexively looked out the car window.

The loud noise came from the front right of the car. It sounded like an explosion, but it was too far away and the surrounding buildings blocked the view, so it was impossible to tell what had happened.

The loud noise caused all the vehicles already congested in the lane to brake suddenly. Some people began to run in panic away from the direction from which the noise came, pushing and shoving the surrounding crowd and creating some more panic.

Luo Qiu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

It wasn't far from the Bureau of Investigation headquarters, and he was familiar with the surrounding terrain. After a moment's thought, he remembered that the loud noise came from a crossroads.

"Quick, Smith, let's abandon the car and run over there. There must have been an accident; let's get order first."

"it is good."

Smith was busy packing and didn't say much.

After getting off the bus, the two began to move against the flow of people.

This is a relatively busy street, with a subway entrance not far away, and several residential areas nearby. During the day, thousands of people come and go here.

At this moment, many people were rushing to get out of the way along the roadside, and in some places they were even crowded together.

Fortunately, Luo Qiu's uniform came in handy. Its distinctive wide-brimmed hat made it instantly recognizable to anyone who saw it, and people would step aside to make way for the two of them.

But some people rushed towards them in a panic when they saw them.

"Detective, what's going on over there?"

"Was that an explosion? Could it have affected this area?"

"You all withdraw one after another. We'll handle any situation that arises over there..."

Luo Qiu offered perfunctory words of comfort to these people, shoved their outstretched hands away, and continued running forward.

This situation lasted for a minute until finally no one was blocking their way. They had run more than 300 meters and were approaching the location where the loud noise had occurred.

Upon arriving here, Luo Qiu finally saw what was happening ahead.

An explosion did occur at the intersection, but the target was a gunsmith's workshop located right next to the road. Bricks and timber were scattered everywhere, and the remaining buildings were still burning. Several vehicles were overturned by the blast, and shards of glass were scattered all over the road.

At the epicenter of the explosion, people lay injured on the ground, groaning in pain.

People were busy looking for fire hydrants to try and extinguish the fire caused by the explosion. There were some wooden apartments nearby, and their owners were also busy protecting their property.

Others hurriedly avoided it all, either getting out of their cars that were already stuck in traffic or finding a corner they thought was safe to secretly observe.

At that moment, Luo Qiu noticed that there were agents dressed similarly to them running over.

They were detectives patrolling the streets; they arrived as soon as the incident happened. They were far more out of breath than Smith when they ran there, as if they had come from much farther away. Their speech was also broken and intermittent.

"gentlemen……"

"Hello, we are agents from headquarters, just passing by. There's been an incident here. Your first task is to evacuate the surrounding area and clear the roads. We'll handle the explosion."

Luo Qiu communicated with the visitor without even breaking a sweat. His physical condition had previously prevented him from doing this; perhaps all of this changed after he awakened his extraordinary abilities.

However, he was unaware of this at the moment; he was preoccupied with how to handle the aftermath of the bombing.

With something like this happening, reporters will likely swarm in immediately, so he needs to think of what to say.

hum-

As they approached the epicenter of the explosion, Luo Qiuhuai felt a tremor.

His "cell phone" suddenly started moving at that moment.
