Indescribable tarot cards

"Okay, there should be no enemies. There is only a creeping hand here. The cultists should not be here." Sartre reminded him when he saw that Alice was still on guard.

As the creeping hand was cut in two by Alice's sword, the "earth-bound hand" it released also lost control and turned back into soft soil. Aaron and Sartre easily Got free.

Alice glanced at Ed, who was knocked out, and after confirming that he was okay, she said to Sartre: "How do you know?"

"If the Silver-level cultist really takes action, our battle will become extremely difficult. However, he did not take action. At most, he only activated a 'Charming Human'."

With that said, Sartre glanced at the body of the attendant lying on the ground and sighed.

"Why...kill him?" Aaron hesitated and asked Ed, who came forward.

"Because if I don't kill him, he will kill us." Ed took out a small portable torch from his waist, lit it casually, and then said to Aaron.

But he is clearly just an ordinary person, and he was our teammate just a second ago...

Aaron still wanted to argue, but Sartre, as if he could guess his thoughts, stopped him first, "You may not understand it now, but you will understand later, what Ed did..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It is the safest way."

"If you care that I killed the guards and are afraid that the Lord of Bals City will blame me, please don't worry." Ed added, "When they were controlled by the cultists, they were no longer human beings. "

Aaron's mouth opened, and he looked around subconsciously, only to find that neither Alice nor Sartre had the slightest objection, as if it should be the case.

He once again realized the difference between this world and the original world, and this difference was clearly fundamental.

He was unable to argue or refute.

"So, this is... a transcendent?" Aaron's mind was a little confused. After witnessing the appearance of the creeping hand and hearing the conversation, he subconsciously asked this question.

He saw Ed nodding matter-of-factly, and also saw Sartre's hesitant eyes. Only Alice responded directly.

"You should know that you are a noble, you are a member of the Albert family, and until the kingdom does not deprive you of your noble status, you will always be a knight of the kingdom."

She put away her sword, stared at Aaron and said seriously: "As a noble, you must protect your people, and you must fulfill your responsibilities as a noble at the most dangerous moment. And similarly, we protect our people." citizens, or we only protect the people we should protect.”

Aaron was speechless. On the one hand, he realized that although Alice's words were biased and not necessarily correct, on the other hand, the education he had received since childhood made it difficult for him to accept this reality.

He could kill the old man in the sewer without any scruples. That was because the old man wanted to kill him first. If he wanted to survive, he had to kill the cultist.

He had no choice.

But it's different now. As an extraordinary person, he can clearly feel the gap between extraordinary people and ordinary people. At least bronze level and ordinary people are completely different concepts.

No strong adult can smash a thick wooden door directly, and no strong adult can knock a person weighing nearly 200 pounds away several meters.

As Ed, a bronze-level transcendent of the sword system like Alice, Aaron believed that even if he couldn't be as outrageous as Alice, he wouldn't be too far behind.

It can be said that for them, ordinary people are not a problem at all. Ed can knock out the attendant, or easily make the attendant lose his fighting ability.

All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and Aaron was confused.

Although Sartre noticed Aaron's expression, he thought Aaron was still a little uncomfortable, so he didn't mention it much. He rubbed the crystal ball and circled around it, and finally stood a little further away.

"With the starlight above, everything will finally be revealed."

This time, he did not consume any more psychic powder. After all, he had already consumed a lot of psychic powder here, and the surrounding environment had been subtly changed. At this time, he only needed to simply induce his soul to complete it. Some relatively simple rituals.

For example, the gathering ceremony.

Aaron's heart moved and he felt something. Although he didn't know what happened, he could vaguely feel that something seemed to be gathering towards Sartre.

The surrounding darkness suddenly became lighter and finally returned to its normal color, and he was finally able to see the bright moonlight and faint starlight above his head.

In the blink of an eye, there was a bronze card in Sartre's hand, exuding a strange aura under the light of the torch.

Although he couldn't see the front, Aaron could still see a half-open book painted on the back.

It’s just that the lines outlining the book are twisted, and the lines themselves give people a vague sense of discomfort, let alone the patterns formed by these lines.

This is... the origin of the cult?

Aaron speculated in his mind.

[Witnessing the extraordinary creature "Crawling Hand", knowledge point +1, Creeping Hand illustrated book 1/8]

[Do you want to consume 1 knowledge point to randomly allocate 1 attribute value? 】

It was only then that the system with a thin sense of presence appeared again, and a light screen popped up in front of Aaron.

Aaron was startled and glanced at Alice and Ed subconsciously, but they didn't seem to notice the light curtain.

It seems that this light curtain can only be seen by you?

Aaron was convinced, and calmly spent another 1 knowledge point to increase his attribute value.

[Consumption of 1 knowledge point, constitution +1]

[Strength 3, Agility 4, Constitution 6, Will 7, Spirit 4]

Did you add another point of constitution?

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief and gave this random assignment a favorable review.

He has witnessed several extraordinary events and experienced several events himself. The various strange methods of the cultists made him feel a little bit of cultist PTSD.

He even had some doubts that even under the protection of Alice and Sartre, he might one day die inexplicably at the hands of cultists.

Not to mention anything else, just seeing the "creeping hands" almost strangled himself to death. The risk factor was extremely high.

Even if he has a system, it seems that he can increase attribute points by witnessing various extraordinary events, but this system does not seem to be able to modify background data and refresh equipment.

In this case, the higher the physical attribute, the better.

Sartre handed the bronze card to Alice without saying a word.

But Aaron saw that Alice did not feel any joy after defeating the enemy, but instead accepted the card expressionlessly.

"What exactly is this creeping hand?" Aaron couldn't help but ask.

"It is very likely that it was Tion's hand, or that the cultists made Tien's hand into a creeping hand. Members of the Creeping Hand Order can contaminate human hands and become their tools."

Alice looked at Tien's residence and said coldly.

It's hard to say whether they came a step early or a step late.

Well, thank you to Mr. Bai, Duwa, Changsheng and a certain stupid classmate Zhang for the reward~
