Locke was handcuffed and shackled and led to the infirmary by prison guards.
It was not until he was a certain distance away from the cell that he felt his limbs begin to warm up. He was no longer like just now, when he was sweating profusely but felt as if he was falling into an icy cave.
"Did you hear that George got humiliated today?"
"...Yes, the new guy kicked George away in the prison van... He couldn't move for a while..."
"Why did I hear that it was the friend he was protecting at the time who frightened George?"
"Hahahaha, how is this possible? Two little brats who can't be more than sixteen or seventeen years old can scare George?"
“…”
Locke overheard the conversations in the cells on both sides. Apparently, for some reason, the news that George was beaten up by two newcomers had spread quickly, and the newcomer who did it was also listed as a key focus by the prisoners.
He just wanted to listen to some fun and relax for a moment, but suddenly he realized the key words in it:
[George is petrified]
[The Newcomer Being Protected]
[A little kid of at most 16 or 17 years old]
Locke: “…”
He swallowed.
It was like a movie playing in his mind. When he wanted to provoke the boy, George turned a deaf ear and acted as if he was not involved. Compared with his usual self, he was simply too obedient.
How is this being well behaved?
This is clearly fear!
If he knew the true nature of that person, he would not choose to die... It would be best if he could stay away from him.
Unless they are both madmen, a normal person would never want to meet a madman.
And he is still that kind of person... a madman who can give people overwhelming pressure.
As the conversation among the other prisoners gradually turned to how strong the brown-haired newcomer was, Locke lowered his head and said nothing.
——These people nowadays have no idea that the truly terrifying one is not the protector who looks like a strong fighter, but the protected person who enters the scene as a prey and looks particularly easy to bully.
Maybe he was watching them from the shadows, like a bunch of clueless clowns.
Such people will not stay in the sheepfold for long.
No matter what his purpose is in coming here, sooner or later, he will leave this second-level prison in the Gray Moon District.
…
…
After Locke followed the prison guard away, the cell became silent and fell into an exceptionally heavy silence.
——Of course, this heavy burden was felt by the other two prisoners besides César.
George still pretended to be taking a rest and sleeping, and the remaining prisoner who wanted to get a share of the pie didn't dare to speak at all. He shrank back tremblingly, and could only vaguely see with his peripheral vision that the black-haired boy, who looked so easy to bully, was wiping the blood off the blade slowly and leisurely.
——Extremely calm, as if he could remain completely calm even if he had killed someone.
Logically speaking, the black-haired boy was really weak, and now that he had no friends to protect him, couldn't a few grown men like them hold him down? It was hard to say whether he still had the strength to resist.
But……
The prisoner tried hard to calm his heartbeat, as if he was afraid of disturbing some terrible existence.
——But the black-haired boy really doesn’t look like a human.
People will get hurt, bleed, and be killed.
But he just stood there doing nothing, as if he had transcended life and death and stood above the dimension.
[——Does God also bleed? ]
This sentence suddenly appeared in the prisoner's mind, causing him to shudder violently, and an inexplicable chill rushed straight to the top of his head. He felt angrily that this idea was too absurd, how could a juvenile criminal be given the title of "God", and at the same time, he could not help but think of it uncontrollably:
[No...of course not.]
God, how could you bleed?
…
…
[Note 2: If you have a fairy godmother, you will be a god who does not bleed. ]
Xizel: “…”
He silently felt the sudden emergence of new abilities and fell into an eerie silence.
Was it because he opened it the wrong way? Or was it because the enemy's malice was too bad?
This new skill emerged in his mind after he slashed the wrist of the man who tried to molest him in self-defense.
【Kleist's Fairy Godmother (incomplete version, duration five minutes)】
[How to obtain & trigger conditions: Actively cause psychological and physical damage to evil people with bad intentions]
[Note 1: Whenever a princess is hurt or about to be hurt, she will have a prince or a fairy godmother. For Kleist, forget about the prince, but you can still look forward to the fairy godmother.]
[Note 2: The Fairy Godmother will bless you. If you have a Fairy Godmother, you will be a god who does not bleed.]
“…”
Xizel opened the dialog box with the comic's will and said calmly, "Confirm, the script I got is the cannon fodder counterattack script, not the Dionni runaway princess script, right?"
Comic Will: "..."
Xizel smiled slightly and said, "Your materials are so scarce that you have to look up fairy tales for inspiration?"
Comic Will: "……"
The comic will decisively started to play badly: "Hello, the system is busy, please try again later."
The black-haired boy chuckled coldly and didn't ask any more questions. After all, he didn't want to get anything out of it anyway.
He was just expressing his confusion in a friendly way.
But no matter how confused we are, we still have to analyze what needs to be analyzed.
César closed his eyes and rested calmly, but in fact he was doing some light reading comprehension and thinking about how to use this ability.
Apart from his first ability, "Crest's Wordless Book", there was no introduction on how to use the previous "Crest's Red Apple", only some specious descriptions and notes.
The "apple" may seem useless, but it only seems so. Everything shown in the comics has already proved how extraordinary this ability is.
However, there is too little information at present, so Xizel can only make some guesses, which are not enough to confirm.
So, by analogy with the "red apple", the "fairy godmother" is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Moreover, the method of obtaining it is different from that of the "Red Apple" - perhaps, each ability has its own unique conditions for acquisition, and it is not simply based on the life of a high-level talent holder as the activation standard.
If this is the case, according to this trend, his abilities may be more than two or three, but more. If these abilities do not exist when they are triggered, but wait for him to trigger them after they exist, then the different ways of obtaining them will seem like a meaningless bug.
According to this line of thought, maybe at some point in the future he will learn how to acquire other abilities, or at worst, he will get clues about how to acquire them.
As for the following points in the ability description of "Crest's Fairy Godmother", they are very interesting:
[Incomplete version]
【Duration 5 minutes】
[When you are or are about to be hurt, you will have a fairy godmother]
【You will be a god who will not shed blood.】
So, what are the conditions for unlocking the [full version], and where is his [Fairy Godmother]?
——Is his incomplete ability related to the fact that he doesn’t have a real [Fairy Godmother]?
Very likely, isn't it.
As for God who doesn't bleed...
What will be the role and effect of this note?
The black-haired boy lowered his eyes slightly, but the corners of his lips curled up, and the blade in his hand was still pointing at his arm, eager to try.
I have to say, apart from being a little weird, the interestingness of his abilities, from the wordless book to the apple to the fairy godmother, really surprised him.
