"You guys should keep an eye on those adventurers. If they play for too long, urge them to go back to sleep and don't let them die suddenly."
After taking a look at the adventurers playing cards, Mitris waved over two waiters and gave them some instructions.
The two waiters looked at each other and then whispered, "Boss, there is someone who has fainted on the second floor. We have already tried to persuade him, but..."
Hearing this, Mitris suddenly became very angry.
Turning around, she said to Lisanna and the other two, "Sorry, something happened at the bar and I have to go deal with it first. If you need anything, just talk to the waiter and put the money on my account."
"No, no, I already said it's my treat. What happened to you? Take me with you. After all, I'm the director of the Public Security Bureau!"
Seeing that something seemed to be happening in the bar, Lisanna volunteered to follow.
Elise and Ashe were also a little curious, so they nodded as well.
Seeing this, Mitris stopped trying to dissuade them and took the three of them to the location of the accident.
"This guest has been playing since last night. He may have been too tired before, so his body is a little weak. Not long ago, he suddenly fainted after playing a game of cards."
While leading the four people to the place where the other person fainted, the waiter told his own speculation.
These people were all intelligence dealers and brokers. They took a lot of effort to get into the bar, fearing that they would be fired because of this kind of thing.
Mitris listened expressionlessly, glancing roughly at the guests around her.
Compared to the deserted first floor, half of the seats on the second floor were actually occupied. However, most of them were probably here to discuss business, and only a few were playing cards.
Each booth is covered with a special carpet provided by the Dragonmark Family. This carpet has a simplified version of the effect of Mordenkainen's private chamber and can block the sound between the carpet area and the outside world.
Guests can also slightly adjust the visibility of the carpet edge area according to their needs, but at most they can make it similar to frosted glass and cannot completely block the view.
This is also to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
As they were talking, several people had already arrived next to the booth. The sound isolation function of the carpet was still working, but the visibility function was turned off, so they could clearly see the scene in the booth.
Opposite the fainted adventurer, another adventurer who was playing cards with him was sitting in his seat with some impatience, looking very dissatisfied with the Next Life Bar's decision not to allow him to leave.
When Mitris and others arrived, he looked up belatedly.
Then, his eyes met Elise and Ashe in mid-air.
Just as Mitris was about to enter the booth to check on the unconscious adventurer, she heard a low shout from behind her: "Catch him!"
Before she could react, the man who was originally sitting on the sofa in the booth suddenly rolled to the other side.
The next second, Elise and Ashe's eyes lit up with psychic energy.
Without any hesitation, Mitris made a decision based entirely on instinct.
She quickly performed the druid's specialty - transforming into a beast.
The carbon fiber prosthetic body changed accordingly, turning her into a hybrid of animal and machine, similar to Commander Panther in "Beast Man".
With a "swoosh", a mantis knife popped out from the forelimbs of the cheetah that Midris transformed into, and the whole cheetah pounced towards the rapidly fleeing adventurer.
Elise and Ashe tried to use psychic power to block the escaped person's way, but the person also released psychic power after finding himself surrounded.
"call--"
Elise and Ashe were affected by this powerful psychic energy and flew backwards.
"Be careful! This is the Inspired!"
While flying out, Iris did not forget to remind Mitris of the other party's identity.
But Midris didn't know what the Inspired was. She just relied on her fighting instinct and swung her mantis blade at the opponent.
The mantis blade made of carbon fiber was both tough and extremely sharp. Combined with the fighting skills that Midris acquired from her part-time monk, this blade actually succeeded in defeating the runner's psychic attack!
"Whoosh"
The sharp blade cut through the escaper's thigh with almost no hindrance. The male adventurer who was running outside suddenly felt his body lighten, and then he lost connection with his right leg.
Large streams of blood gushed out like fountains, but the opponent seemed to want to struggle. He actually took out a prosthetic limb from his dimensional bag and quickly put it on, then continued to run away.
Even Midris was caught off guard by the opponent's actions. In her distraction, she allowed the opponent to gain some distance from her.
Soon his body lit up with psychic energy again. Elise and Ashe were very familiar with this light; it was a manifestation of psychic teleportation!
At this moment, three gunshots rang out, "Bang, bang, bang", and the psychic power of the Half-Inspired adventurer who possessed psychic powers suddenly dissipated. His whole body suddenly became soft, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Mitris looked back and found that Lisanna was looking at the direction where the Inspired fell with clear eyes, holding two Aris Workshop revolvers in her hands, and her expression still retained some confusion.
"Why is he running?"
After a while, the current director of the Public Security Bureau finally realized what was going on and asked the people around him.
Iris, who had recovered from her shock, stepped forward and answered in her usual gentle young woman's voice, "He should be the Inspired assassin of the Ruiyi Drow Empire. This unconscious adventurer must have been defeated by him using the Dark Game. I don't know what his purpose is here."
"No matter what it is, since a guy like this has appeared, it proves that there must be others in Storm Bay! We must inform Carl and the Dragon Mark Family about this as soon as possible!"
After changing back to her half-elf form, Midris said in a deep voice.
She had used the power of the Eternal Death Sect and the Death Dragon Mark to temporarily stabilize the condition of the Half-Inspired Spirit, able to keep it in a state of suspended animation for a period of time.
"Oh~, so this guy is a bad guy, right? Phew~, when I saw you guys attacking just now, I subconsciously opened fire, and when I came to my senses, I was scared."
Hearing Lisana's words, the waiters nearby took a few steps to the side calmly, trying to stay away from this lively-looking girl.
Whose good guy subconsciously pulled out his gun and shot twice in the chest and once in the head? This left no chance for him to survive!
Just when everyone was planning to take the Half-Inspired Spirit away immediately, suddenly, a strong psychic energy fluctuation began to emanate from the other party's body.
This psychic energy was very similar to the psychic energy shock that knocked Elise and Ashe away before, but this time its target was not the surrounding enemy units, but the Inspired itself.
"Squeak, puff, pop~"
Amid a series of spine-chilling sounds, the Inspired's body was mutated by the violent psionic energy and then compressed into a ball.
There was no doubt that he could no longer answer any messages.
