New Gods of North America

Wayne and his men had already prepared their weapons.

However, looking at the situation below, the three decided to wait a little longer.

Inissa's reason for not acting rashly was very direct. "At present, we cannot see the scope of the other party's extraordinary ability. It would be terrible if we were controlled. Avoid looking directly into his eyes."

As she whispered, she positioned the gun between the gaps in the attic floor, with the muzzle almost touching the "floor".

Wayne also lowered his voice and told what he saw:

"I'm not sure if the other party has other extraordinary abilities, or whether the range of influence will expand. But as it stands now, the other party's ability may only be effective for others within 3 yards... or 4 yards for safety reasons. As for whether it is related to looking directly into the other party's eyes, that's unclear."

Lina gestured to Peter who had just returned, "Size 4, right? I'll let Peter try it and he'll know."

Peter then slid down through the stair opening in the attic floor, hanging on a spider's thread.

Strictly speaking, there are only "two floors" in the windmill.

The upper floor is where the windmill and transmission mechanism are located. It is relatively narrow and there is almost no room for people when the mill is running.

The lower floor is relatively spacious, with a height difference roughly equivalent to that of two floors of an ordinary building. Here, power is transmitted to the grinding wheel through a connecting mechanism, and then there is a working space for people to collect, screen and bag.

Because the height difference of the lower floor is very large,

Therefore, wooden stairs for people to go up and down, as well as some small wooden platforms that are probably used for maintenance, are installed against the wall.

Wayne is watching here.

After Peter entered the spherical area centered on the man in work clothes in mid-air, he suddenly fell from the spider silk and landed silently on a small wooden platform.

Then Peter raised his upper body, his "head" seemed to look towards the sky, and his two slender front legs were also spread out towards the sky, as if he was kneeling on the ground to pray.

Wayne turned his head to look at Lina, pointed at Peter, and silently asked, "What is it doing?"

Lina stroked her forehead with her hand, and pressed the thumb and middle finger of one hand on the temples on both sides of her head:

"I don't know... I guess he was praising the Holy Spirit..."

Good fellow,

The man in work clothes hasn't noticed Peter yet, and the extraordinary ability he used is actually effective. It can be basically confirmed that it is the type that is "effective within a range."

If it were in the era of cold weapons, this ability would probably be invincible in a sword duel.

But now...

My lord, times have changed.

At this moment, the two people below were also busy.

The man known as "Mr. Schultz" was already kneeling there confessing his sins.

The man in work clothes, who was believed to be the murderer, used the simple principle of lever to make a crude "balance" -

A rope was attached to the transmission mechanism, hanging a wooden stick in the middle in mid-air, with two bushel baskets hanging from each end.

"Bushel" is a unit of volume that was introduced to America from the Kingdom of Windsor. It is mainly used to weigh grains and some solid crops. A bushel is basically around 36 liters, which is roughly the same size as a delivery man's insulated box.

The "bushel basket" in the mill is a tool used for measuring.

Fill a basket with wheat and then smooth the surface, and you get exactly one bushel.

Including "Happy Citizens of a Western Town" and "Plantation Slaves", everyone can use it after seeing it. It is simple and convenient.

But such a big thing is used as a balance.

It seems that things are not going well...

Then the man in overalls opened his backpack and dumped the bones into one of the bushel baskets, and put an old newspaper in it.

Then he pulled out a dagger and pushed it in front of the middle-aged man in a tailored suit:

"Come on, Mr. Schultz, the time for confession is over, let us weigh your sins.

"If you can restore the balance, your sins may be redeemed."

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground looked down at the dagger, his tone seemed full of regret, "What should I do?"

“If a person sins accidentally, he must offer a kid of the goats as a sacrifice for his sin before the Holy Spirit. Then whatever he has done to make him guilty will be forgiven.”

"We don't have a male goat here, so we can only use something else as a substitute. Since this is a sin of life and death, why not cut off your flesh and blood to pay it back?"

The middle-aged man raised his head suddenly when he heard this.

However, after looking into the golden eyes of the workman, the middle-aged man lowered his head again, as if looking at the dagger:

"Yes, that's what I should do."

Then the middle-aged man picked up the dagger and knelt down on the spot.

The buttons on his jacket and shirt were undone, exposing his chest and belly.

The dagger was held in his hand.

The tip of the knife was pressed against his belly.

Inesa couldn't help but wink at Wayne and asked, "Why don't we take action now?!"

Wayne made a "scratch the skin" gesture to her.

Although it's a bit inhumane, at least the wound should be seen.

Otherwise, when the gun goes off, if this person fails to recover from being controlled and instead helps the murderer,

Then the people from the detective agency would really be considered nosy and unlawful trespassers.

But this was actually an excuse Wayne came up with on the spur of the moment.

Just now, after listening to the conversation between the two, he thought it would be a good idea to let this guy suffer a little.

The dagger cut the skin, and blood flowed from the tip of the knife.

Wayne and Inissa looked at each other and then fired at the same time.

"Bang!"

The demon-hunting bullet fired from the revolver hit the side of the dagger and bounced it out.

The bullet fired from the bolt-action rifle hit the murderer's abdomen, splashing blood.

The case has not been convicted yet. If the person is executed now, it will become a cold case.

The victim was still near the murderer, so he didn’t hit his legs first, which was a standard “drive first, then capture” plan for wild animals.

Wayne dodged the opponent's "spherical area" and jumped from the attic to a small platform on the lower floor:

"Don't move! Put your hands up! Remove your ability! We have solved your case!"

Wayne didn't even dare to look directly into the other person's glowing golden eyes. He turned his eyes slightly to the side and used the simple lines of his vision to pre-aim.

The other party followed the movement and sound and looked in the direction of Wayne.

Then his voice suddenly became angry: "Such a heavy sin! You deserve to die more than them!"

Hmm...

Wayne found it difficult to respond to the other party's words.

However, bounty hunters often have simpler ways of communicating with criminals who are unwilling to cooperate.

The other party was approaching Wayne on the ground.

Wayne avoided the spherical area and ran to the attic.

When the distance between the other party and the victim is far enough,

Inessa shot him in the knee, and Wayne shot him in the collarbone of his right shoulder.

Then Lina quickly set off fireworks through the small window outside the mill, hoping that Bill Tench, David Mills and others would not arrive too late than the people from the manor who heard the noise and rushed over.
