Chapter 106 Memory
In the venue of the Igwinter Charity Association, the pure and sweet children's chorus echoed in the space of the theater, and everyone was immersed in the innocent singing.
Bill, wearing a half mask and a theater worker's uniform, walked slowly along the edge of the venue, constantly scanning the numerous audiences in the venue, as if he was looking for something.
What Bill was looking for was the smell, the smell he remembered from the bloody murder scene at Buck's house that day.
Bill is a Beyonder of the Cup, but he is a little special. His promotion ceremony is personally presided over by the adult he is loyal to, and the ceremony he performs is a little different from the regular ceremony for promotion to a Thirsty One.
In the secret world, even if the accumulated spiritual power is the same, the different promotion rituals will have relatively different results.
After paying an extra price, Bill was promoted to a subspecies of the Thirster, called "Taster".
Tasters are a subspecies of the Thirsters. Although their physical fitness and vitality surpass those of ordinary people, they are still a little different from the Thirsters. Instead, Tasters gain some sensory expressions of the "cup".
The Hungry One, because he has obtained the physical expression of the "cup", that is, the flesh and blood expression, becomes stronger and more tenacious. The Taster's "cup" is not as strong as the Hungry One's in terms of physical expression, but it has additional sensory expression.
"Cup" refers to the sense of smell, taste, sexual pleasure, etc.
The additional sense that Bill's promotion brought him was smell. Therefore, his sense of smell was greatly enhanced, and he could distinguish and remember smells that ordinary people could not distinguish.
Although Bill did not take action at Buck's house that day, he knew that someone was hiding in the darkness of the collection room. Before he left, he noted the smell in the darkness.
Because too many people died at the scene and the smell of blood was strong, Bill's memory of the smell was disturbed, and it was difficult for him to distinguish more information from the smell. He could only barely sniff out that it might be a woman, and he could not smell any further information. However, he still remembered the disturbed smell information firmly.
Then I didn't expect to smell it again today.
Bill walked slowly along the edge of the venue and around the edge of the audience seats, trying to catch that smell again, but to no avail. He wrote down the smell information, but that information was incomplete due to interference, so if he wanted to identify it, he had to get closer to smell it.
But doing so would be very conspicuous, even if his current identity was a theater staff member, but just walking back and forth in the audience and smelling each one was still an extremely rude behavior, which would be noticed and would alarm the target.
Therefore, Bill now has to think of other ways to confirm the opponent's position without alerting the enemy.
After thinking about it for a while, Bill had an idea.
Then, he walked quickly to the door of the venue, found a formal foreman, and took off half of his mask.
"Mr. Bill, is there anything I can do for you?" The foreman said with a smile when he saw Bill's face, and Bill spoke directly.
"Call all the waiters and have them collect the audience invitations according to my method. Tell them that there is a problem with the invitations and we need to collect new ones for inspection."
…
In the venue, the children's singing gradually came to an end. Amid the warm applause of the audience, the children, like lambs, bowed and thanked the audience. The wide red curtain was slowly pulled up again.
In the audience, Dorothy clapped along with the audience around her. Although she had a smile on her face, she was very heavy in her heart.
"The Lamb Song... The song that Anna and the others sang is a secret transmission, a secret transmission in the form of a song... Why is it like this..."
After the teacher's reminder, Dorothy realized that the chorus she was listening to was actually a secret teaching. Although it was very incomplete and seemed to have been adapted, which greatly reduced the mysterious element, it was still a secret teaching.
After hearing the secret, Dorothy immediately extracted it and turned it into spirituality. Although the spirituality extracted was so weak that it could not even accumulate 1 point, Dorothy could still recognize that it was the "cup".
In other words, "The Song of the Lamb" is a secret version of the "Cup", but the version that these children are singing now has been greatly deleted and adapted. The purpose... is definitely to avoid excessive drug contamination and to conceal it from the public at the same time.
If it weren't for Dorothy's accurate system recognition, she wouldn't have noticed this problem with the song.
'Why did the children of Ci En Orphanage sing the secret song "Cup" at the charity party? And according to the former host, they seemed to be singing chorus programs all the time. I don't know if it's all this. Is there something wrong with Ci En Orphanage? I've been taking classes there for so many days and I haven't found anything?'
Dorothy thought doubtfully. At this moment, she not only had doubts in her heart, but also a trace of worry.
"There is a secret performance on stage... No matter what the truth behind it is, this charity event is a big problem. Although if I were to watch Anna and the others perform, I feel that it is a bit risky now..."
Dorothy thought so, and when she encountered this unexpected situation, she couldn't help but become cautious and began to have a little doubt about everything around her.
Then Dorothy took out a gold coin from her pocket. There was a sun on the front and the symbol of the Radiant Church on the back. This was the spiritual storage of the "lamp" she got from Brandon. With this, she could tell fortunes.
She now needs divination to determine the surrounding situation.
In the basic divination techniques that Oldridge sold to Dorothy, many divinations required rituals to be arranged in advance. Now there is no such opportunity at all. However, there are several very simple forms of divination that do not require rituals.
One of them is tossing a coin.
'Am I in danger now?'
While speaking in her heart, Dorothy threw the golden coin as low as possible, then covered the back of her hand with her hand. After feeling the spiritual consumption, Dorothy slowly removed her palm.
Then, on the back of Dorothy's hand, a tarnished coin appeared, with the side with the sun on it facing upwards, which was the front.
“Huh… Really…”
Watching the coin appear, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, then she shook her head, ignored the host who was introducing the next program on the stage, and calmed down to think carefully.
"Danger, danger... What kind of danger is it? Where is it coming from? In what form... When will it come... "
Dorothy thought about it, and then she found that she had too little information at the moment, so she closed her eyes and began to think carefully about the echo.
She now began to recall her memory, recalling the memory from the time she arrived at the theater door to the present moment, to see if she could find any clues.
Dorothy is a knower. She can completely memorize all the information she perceives within half a day, and can even remember a few wild grasses on the roadside. This super memory will gradually disappear into ordinary memory after half a day. By spending a little spirituality, some important content can be permanently preserved.
So Dorothy began to carefully check every detail and every corner of the theater in her memory, even every person she glanced at inadvertently and every word she heard inadvertently, trying to extract meaningful parts from these seemingly meaningless information.
Since Dorothy is a omniscient and has the ability to read and process information at a very fast speed, this ability is also effective when processing memory information, so she can also flip through her memory very quickly.
It wasn't long before Dorothy turned to an important piece of information from her recent memory.
That was her memory of when she had just stepped into the theater door and walked with the crowd in the corridor behind the door.
By carefully examining her visual memory of that time, Dorothy discovered that there was a slightly familiar figure among the crowd that was walking towards her.
He was a theater staff member, who seemed to be a young man, wearing a half mask with only his chin exposed.
Dorothy felt that this figure looked familiar when she looked closely. It seemed to have similarities with another figure in her memory.
That was the boy named Bill who rescued Buck from Buck's house that day.
At that time, Dorothy hid in the dark, staring at the young man. By consuming her spiritual energy, she used her ability as a knower to record it carefully and completely, comparable to an ultra-high-definition photo.
Now Dorothy felt that the half-masked young man she met in the corridor seemed a little too similar to Bill.
