It's her!

"Geri, the female bounty hunter!"

"And behind her, could it be... ' Dog Stuffer '? The notorious thief worth thirty Gold Dragon?"

Sulu returned to the bar, where he was met with a chorus of exclamations.

It's clear that this female bounty hunter named ' Geri ' is quite famous in this area.

This drink is on me today!

Geri went to the bar and generously bought everyone a beer as a celebration. "And... Kant, you can get your bounty ready. I'll be sending the Dog Stuffer to Woods in a bit!"

"No problem!"

Kant, who was wiping a wine glass, replied with a smile.

In small towns, bars often double as other services, such as casinos, hotels, and gathering places for prostitutes.

Even the only bank, undertaking certain financial functions... You can't exactly have a bank operating in such a small town!

The only bar that might have a lot of cash is the best alternative.

"This is similar to how rice merchants in ancient times often also engaged in pawnbroking and loan sharking... Merchants will do anything as long as they have money!"

Slightly surprised, Sulu suddenly understood.

Looking at the female bounty hunter, he suddenly became quite interested: 'A superhuman?!'

Ordinary women don't have that ability.

Seeing that the other person had finished a strawberry pie and was about to leave, Sulu also stood up.

"Out-of-towner... There are no hotels in this town, would you like to make do for the night?"

Just then, the bar owner Kant, spoke to Sulu.

If that's the case, then he has an obligation to protect his passengers, which is clearly a gesture of goodwill.

"Thank you! But it's not necessary!"

Sulu politely thanked him and left the bar.

Outside, the sky had gradually darkened, and stars began to appear.

"You know what? Kid... we've been annoyed by your poker face for a long time... hiccup..."

After walking down just one street, several figures appeared, the leader of whom was none other than Old Will, who was burping from alcohol.

Sulu glanced around.

Hmm, it seems to be a dead-end alley, deserted, very convenient. "Gentlemen... could I do you a favor?"

He said with a smile, "Could I borrow one of your revolvers?"

"Kid, you've successfully angered me."

Old Will reached for his gun holster at his waist. "I'm going to strip you naked and throw you into the pigsty!"

Whoosh!

Just then, Sulu stretched out his right hand.

A cowboy's gun-drawing technique usually takes two to three seconds, and a top-level player can control it within a fraction of a second. But as a [Rogue], his speed easily surpasses that of ordinary people!

Before these people could react, a pale chain, seemingly emerging from hell, appeared and pierced Old Will's chest.

With just a single roll, a slightly transparent spirit was pulled out.

A chain was looped around his neck, as if he were being taken away as a prisoner.

Otherwise, a single stab with a sharp point would be enough to completely annihilate this spirit!

"As expected... the upgraded Spirit Chain are indeed more useful than Spirit Spike, and they can even perform this kind of operation?"

Sulu glanced at the pale chains wrapped around his right hand and couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

Come to think of it, this is the first time he's experimented with his ability since he upgraded the Spirit Spike.

There are, after all, many inconveniences within the Inner Circle.

"He... he's not human! He's a devil!"

Although the thugs who followed Old Will couldn't see the spirit, they could still see the materialized chains.

His face showed terror, and he tried to run away.

But Sulu certainly wouldn't let them go.

With a thought, the tip of the pale chain shot out like a snake, piercing into the chests of these men and tearing out their souls as well.

"It's a pity... such ordinary people have absolutely no experience! Besides, committing a major crime right away is not my style!"

Sulu pondered for a moment, then tightened the chains, allowing these bewildered spirits to return to their bodies.

Although there was no intentional harm, the shock of having their spirits forcibly pulled out of their bodies was enough to make these burly men Sleep for the entire night.

"Soul Projection!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sulu's spirit entered the Mind World, forcibly breaking into their minds to obtain the information he wanted.

"Remember... you were drunk tonight!"

"Slept outside all night... and lost my sidearm and purse!"

Finally, he hypnotized them one by one, making them forget that they had used their supernatural abilities.

In the Mind World.

Sulu then surveyed the surrounding area.

"Hmm... the light and size of the Mind Secret Realm are very weak, so they seem to be all ordinary people. Only in the direction of the bar is there a superhuman, but he should be at the first level. Is that Kant? No wonder he was confident in protecting me."

In reality, for the vast majority of ordinary people, the number of superhumans is still extremely small. In a small town like this, having one or two is already considered quite frequent.

Without giving it much thought, Sulu returned to reality, went forward to confiscate the sidearms and money bags of Old Will and the others, and disappeared into the night.

"Next... is to forge an identity. As long as we bribe a local police officer, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Then, I need a guide to take me to the settlement of the native Gaoso... preferably an extraordinary person who can lead me into the local extraordinary person circle so that it will be easier to collect materials!"

"That Geri looks very suitable."

The creation of the fake identity went very smoothly.

Sulu simply met with local Mounted Police Officer Woods, had a pleasant chat with him, paid the 'normal' documents and fees, and smoothly became a citizen, becoming Sean Otto, a local who had left home at a very young age and had only recently returned.

As for why not use supernatural powers to directly alter the memories?

Sulu said that this kind of highly technical work is simply beyond his current capabilities.

Moreover, even if someone investigates later, he hopes that Sean Otto is an ordinary person and that he will not be associated with superhumans.

As he left, he gave Woods a subtle hint, a very faint one.

The effect is that as time goes by, Woods's impression of himself will become increasingly blurred, until he eventually forgets what he looks like completely, and that's enough!

He now roughly understands the extent to which he, as a [Occultist], can operate within the Mind World.

While it's difficult for an ordinary person to flawlessly alter their memories, it's still possible to make them forget certain things and exert some subconscious influence.

But it's more difficult for those with extraordinary abilities.

For example, with Jessira last time, even though hypnotizing her was about a nightmare, her behavior was somewhat unnatural every time they met, which is not a good thing! It means that her subconscious is still afraid of her!

"If one advances to the third tier of [Thaumaturge], one can probably perfectly alter the memories of ordinary people, and even low-level superhumans... That's terrifying, it's practically the same power as a vengeful ghost!"

That concludes today's bonus chapter. Thank you all for your tremendous support! Also, starting tomorrow, to keep my promise, I'll begin making up for missed chapters.
