Preparation

"Hmm... [Gunfighter]? The ' Gun-Fu ' ability is relatively difficult to obtain..."

Sulu stared at Thaumaturgy Card in his hand that was gleaming with an unusual light.

On the previously blank front, a strange symbol now appears, half representing a 'hand' and half representing a 'musket'.

This means that after several failures, he finally drew the ' Gun-Fu ' ability card he wanted most from Horatio!

After numerous experiments, Sulu understood that the [Thaumaturge]'s sealing cards were targeted; for example, he was good at sealing magic and agility-based abilities because they were best suited to him.

As for the comprehensive abilities of ' Gun-Fu ', which includes ' Eagle Eye ', ' Shooting Correction ', ' Curved Trajectory ', etc., it is very difficult to extract and seal them.

The difficulty here refers to the high number of failures, not that it's impossible!

"Its effect... is to grant a person ' Gun-Fu,' though their abilities are slightly inferior to a true [Gunfighter], and lasts for about an hour..."

Sulu carefully stored this card in the Greed Glove, a storage device made from the skin of Gluttonous Snake. He named it ' Greed ' as a warning of the dangers in the Dream Spirit World.

At that moment, a dark figure approached him and handed him a gleaming silver revolver, along with a large quantity of bullets engraved with intricate patterns.

"Brass? Mercury? Silver... and even gold? The Bureau 11 is truly extravagant..."

After briefly examining the materials and effects used in the different bullets, Sulu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He didn't kill Horatio; he merely exploited them like sheep, fleecing them thoroughly.

After all, there was no enmity between them, and they didn't lay a hand on him.

Incidentally, I also borrowed another batch of 'equipment'. Anyway, the White Eagle Federation is a large and wealthy country, so they certainly won't care about this small loss!

He stretched out his right hand, and a ghostly light flashed above ' Greed,' causing the void to ripple and countless lines to twist, seemingly transforming into a giant maw resembling a gate, swallowing the revolver and bullet.

At this moment, within Greed, a large number of Thaumaturgy Card and a black Demon Hunting Dagger were already floating.

"With this batch included, it should be about right..."

Although I set a rule for myself not to provoke powerful professionals.

But Sulu discovered that there were very few places in Lori City where he could safely and comfortably fleece people, so he had to take some risks.

'Anyway, I'm leaving after this job. Even if I'm discovered, it doesn't matter, after all... I'm Sean Beta!'

A slight smile appeared on his lips as he watched the Shadow Clone disappear and walk in another direction.

That's the 'Devil's Rose' bar, the location of the informant Guy gave us.

He wasn't trying to compromise; instead, he planned to follow the clues to find Guy and the Ancient Serpent Society's hideout, cripple them first, and then forcibly extract what he wanted from their heads!

"Originally... I wanted to cooperate, but your conditions are too harsh."

"Now it's convenient, if you won't give it to me, I'll just come and get it myself!"

Sulu gritted his teeth.

Anyway, the members of the Ancient Serpent Society are all lunatics; it wouldn't be a mistake to kill them all on sight.

I'll cripple him first, then use my ' Psychic Thaumaturgy ' to find clues about the [Dream Master]!

The [Thaumaturge] has infiltrated the Mind Secret Realm of a third-tier professional, but is very likely to be discovered!

Just like a thief who breaks into a house to steal has a high probability of being discovered, but being discovered doesn't necessarily mean he's finished; he might even become a robber!

With his current ability to invade the Mind World, even a fourth-tier master, once captured and crippled, would dare to invade the opponent's Mind Secret Realm!

Devil Rose Bar.

Wearing a white shirt and black vest, bartender David, with a bright smile, is mixing a ' Stephen Cocktail.

The vibrant wine and fruit juices either blend or separate during vigorous shaking, creating layers and colors resembling a rainbow.

Bang.

The bar door was pushed open, and a young gentleman walked in.

He didn't even glance at the dancers' performance, walking straight to the bar and pressing a banknote under his glass. "I'm looking for Guy Mocam!"

"OK!"

David flashed a bright smile, subtly slipping the banknote into his pocket. "He's usually in the lounge on the second floor, room number 3..."

After the man went up to the second floor, he pulled over a waiter and said, "Go to the basement and inform Mr. Morcam... the person he's waiting for has arrived."

The waiter remained motionless, like a puppet.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and go!"

David was so angry he wanted to slap him.

Just then, he saw the waiter opposite him give him a strange smile, his face transforming into the gentleman's appearance from before.

Numerous lines, centered on them, continuously disintegrate outwards.

"This..."

He stared at Sulu in front of him, his expression becoming bewildered.

"You're just an ordinary person, yet I had to use my Psychic Thaumaturgy to deal with you. You should be proud... Forget about it."

Sulu snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Outside the Devil Rose Bar.

He was wearing a trench coat, the hood pulled low, almost covering his eyes. "In the basement?"

Through observations in the Mind World and intelligence gathered through intrusion, Sulu discovered that he had overcomplicated things; the bar was merely a contact point, not a gathering place.

At this time, most of the people drinking inside were ordinary people, with only one third-tier expert-level professional.

That's Guy Mocam himself!

"At this moment, I could directly invade his Mind Secret Realm from the Mind World, but I might be discovered... Besides, Guy is, after all, a member of the Ancient Serpent Society. Since those madmen know that I follow the [Medium] path, they might have made special preparations to protect their minds."

"To be on the safe side, let's Guy in real life before interrogating him."

According to mysticism, Sturdy body is the source of a strong mind. Under normal circumstances, without special training, once a professional's body is damaged and shackled, their mental defenses will also become weak.

"Guy is a [Light and Shadow Expert], skilled in manipulating shadows, creating illusions, and light and shadow magic..."

He thought for a moment, and suddenly a Shadow Clone appeared beside him.

The clone, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, transformed into the appearance of a waiter in a bar after a series of facial movements.

This is the image of the servant David had summoned earlier!

Sulu flipped his right hand and took out a revolver, specifically selecting bullets with effects such as ' Magic Breaking ' and 'anti-illusion', and handed them to his Shadow Clone.

Immediately afterward, he used the power of a hard-won Thaumaturgy Card!

"Gun-Fu!"

A flash of crimson light, and the playing card spontaneously combusted, leaving the symbols representing hands and guns branded onto the Shadow Clone.

"Um?"

Because it's a dual-perspective story, Sulu also felt the same way.

"This is... Gun-Fu?"

He manipulated his Shadow Clone, gazing at his own hands, feeling as if the revolver had become a part of his body, an extension of himself, capable of performing many actions that would normally be considered incredible.

At the same time, his eyesight was also enhanced, giving him terrifying dynamic vision and the ability to calculate ballistics!
