I'm a spy in the film

Chapter 16 Taking stock of gains and losses

Austin International Airport, Texas.

A Boeing 737 is waiting for the tower's order to take off.

Bourne's seat was close to the window, but he did not look at the scenery outside the window. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and leaned lazily on the back of the chair as if he had fallen asleep.

Five hours had passed since he and Father Max escaped from the town of TwineBall. Now he finally had time to sort out his experiences and gains over the past two days.

He just graduated from the Law School of the University of Texas at Austin. With the recommendation of his old friend Joe Mason, he finally got an offer from the FBI New York Branch and will report tomorrow.

Yesterday he went back to school to get his diploma and packed up his luggage in the dormitory, mainly books, and sent them to New York. Then he received a call from his father, asking him to go to a small town called TwineBall to take over from his father and deliver a batch of "goods" to Mason Manor in San Antonio.

Little did they know that this town was the location of a sealing array of the church, sealing an ogre that traveled from another dimension many years ago. Dad received a commission from Father Marcos while he was on his way to deliver goods, and came to the town to check the status of the seal, but he ended up being trapped in the town.

Father Marcos is one of several powerful auxiliary bishops of the church's Texas diocese. He originally went to San Antonio to visit his goddaughter, Selena, Bourne's ex-girlfriend, but on the plane he received a message from the local church that "heavy fog appeared around the town of TwineBall, and the seal was suspected to have been leaked", so he temporarily entrusted Father Bourne to go.

As a result, dozens of priests sent by the local church to investigate all disappeared. Only the old man successfully entered but was trapped. This is why Bourne used the bond between father and son to bring the beacon in first. Later, old man Marcos was able to enter with a holy object based on the beacon to reinforce the seal.

However, unexpectedly, Selena only knew a little bit of information and thought the danger was not high, so she let Bourne re-enter the town. By accident, she helped the priest destroy the altar array and escape from the town.

Although the seal of the town has been broken, the ogre's rapid recovery is inevitable, but Bourne destroyed the altar first, and Marcos used the holy object to seriously injure the ogre later, which not only greatly delayed the time for the ogre to fully recover, but also fundamentally weakened the ogre's strength limit. As long as the Vatican and the local police control the situation in the area and stop allowing tourists to enter the town to give food and sacrifices to the ogre, the ogre will not be able to escape in three to five years!

Unfortunately, all of this was just Bourne's speculation based on observation. As soon as old man Marcos got in the car, he never mentioned anything about the small town, and seriously warned Bourne not to tell anyone about it, including his family, and to wait quietly for next year's "baptism" and receive the promotion ceremony.

In order to appease Bourne, Father Marcos, as a good friend of Bourne's father, not only promised to rescue the unconscious father when he returned to San Antonio, but also gave him a tattered doll from the wooden box he carried with him!

Looking at the rag doll in his hand, which had all its limbs intact but was tattered and smelled of decay, Bourne still couldn't believe that it was actually a magic prop - "Magic Doll (Spirit Lost, Repairable)". Fortunately, the system prompted that as long as certain spiritual items were gathered, the doll could still be restored.

Thinking of Father Marcos's pretentious demeanor and exaggerated expression when he stuffed the doll into his mouth, Bourne couldn't help but curl his lips.

It sounds nice to say, "An excellent magic prop that combines both ornamental and practicality!" Marcos, you will be at a huge loss if you don't get involved in pyramid schemes!

If you were not sure that the doll was completely damaged, would you, old man Marcos, give me this thing as hush money?

I really look forward to having it completely fixed in the future, and your expression of regret will make you feel like your intestines are turning green!

Bourne thought maliciously.

After complaining for a while, he felt much better and opened the system panel:

Name: Bern Lee

Constitution: 17 (10 for ordinary people)

Strength: 19 (10 for normal people)

Dexterity: 16 (average 10)

Spirit: 21 (ordinary 10)

Willpower: 25 (normal people 10)

Skills: Basic Driving (37% proficient), Basic Kicks (14% proficient, specialization in Gallic Kicks), Basic Boxing (68% proficient), Basic Firearms (22% proficient), Basic Science (11% proficient, specialization in Law)

Exclusive: Door of Wonders (Primary 2%)

Talents: Fire Element Affinity (Intermediate), Water Element Affinity (Elementary), Dark Element Affinity (Elementary)

Points: -7799/2857

Items: Book of Whispers (initial seal), Soul Doll (spirituality lost, can be repaired)

First of all, all the data of his body except willpower increased a little, especially the spirit increased by 2 points. It should be due to the continuous fighting this time, and the continuous recovery with points. The last time he overdrew his body and shattered several Holy Light Stones at the same time, it might also be the influence of the magic-rich environment in the small town.

As for whether it is correct or not, you can try to use more points to restore your body when you go to New York.

Next, there are three new talents, affinity for fire element and affinity for water element, which were obtained after reading the "Book of Whispers". As for why one is proficient and the other intermediate, it should be related to absorbing Carrie's essence.

Unfortunately, Bourne later felt that people like Carrie who could produce elemental essences were like the heavenly spiritual roots in the immortal world. They were not necessarily one in millions of people. Moreover, once such people embarked on the path of cultivation, the essence in their bodies would be transformed into nutrients for the original owner to improve their cultivation. How could there be any left for others to absorb? And the reason why Bourne could absorb so much essence was, firstly, because Carrie was clean and self-disciplined, and secondly, she had accumulated eighteen years of essence in her body!

These strange thoughts and knowledge have appeared from time to time since the Heavenly Dao dust turned into a system and was completely integrated into Bourne's body. Bourne knew that this was the system reminding him and it should be true.

Of course, this also completely shattered Bourne's dream of finding ten or eight girlfriends with similar physiques to Carrie, kissing them every day, and seeing his talent and cultivation soar day by day.

But it's okay, at least if I learn fire magic in the future, I can at least have the speed of three spiritual roots. It's not fast, but at least I have speed, Bourne thought happily.

After wiping the non-existent saliva, he continued reading.

Heavenly value, points!

As for the origin of the points and why he could earn more than 3 in one night, Bourne looked back at the records. Every time a leather rope monster was killed, he got 7 points, which was the bulk; the scarecrow was 20 points, and only points were given for breaking the seal. It should be because his father did a good job of preparation in the early stage and he did not have to deal with much. After all, you might as well expect lightning to strike the wrong person than to expect God to make a mistake in calculation.

Fortunately, as a human being, he can get points by eliminating these monsters. Now that he is the FBI, can he also get points by fighting against evil forces?

This needs to be tried. If it is true, then he may never have to worry about points again in the future.

After all, in the United States, you never have to worry about no crime happening, nor do you have to worry about not having enough criminals!

Bourne seemed to have seen himself sweeping across the New York gang and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Hahaha!

There are two magic items, one is sealed and the other is seriously damaged. Bourne doesn’t have any good ideas at the moment because the system always prompts: Insufficient points and insufficient conditions!

It seems that I still need to earn points, improve my qualities, and wait for opportunities!

Don't rush this.

Finally, there is his own exclusive skill: The Door of All Wonders!

There is no specific explanation for this skill system, just a reminder: Please develop and master this skill according to your own situation!

Bourne vaguely remembered that this was a sentence from the Tao Te Ching, "Mysterious and profound, the door to all wonders." But he was not sure what it meant specifically or what the context was.

He also looked for it on the Internet, but there was no such book as "Tao Te Ching" in this world. Bourne could only judge based on his only experience of using it that this skill had the effect of absorption.

Is it like the Star Absorbing Art? Or the North Sea Divine Art?

Bourne was a little unsure for a moment. He had to find an opportunity to test it out and wait until he got to a safe place.

With the roar of the engine, the huge plane soared into the sky. Bourne, who had not slept for a day and a night, finally fell into a deep sleep. In his hand, he was holding a badly damaged, palm-sized doll. Suddenly, it turned its head and stared at the clouds outside the window, with a look of nostalgia and sadness in its eyes. Soon, the doll turned its head again and looked at the sleeping Bourne. Its eyes slowly lost their spirit, as if it was really just a broken doll made with rough handwork!
