I'm a spy in the film
Chapter 7: The Book of Whispers
Two hours later, in a single-family villa deep inside the Mason Manor, peace finally returned. Although the storm had stopped, the bedroom was in a mess, with traces of a fierce battle everywhere.
Bourne had finished washing up and was now doing the final tidying up with a refreshed mind. His ex-girlfriend Selena collapsed on the sofa, simply pulling a blanket over herself to prevent herself from catching a cold, and she no longer wanted to move.
"Bourne, you are a beast!"
Seeing Bourne's smug look, the loser Selina was filled with hatred and was somewhat confused:
Could it be that the improvement in overall fitness that I felt when I was promoted a few days ago was just an illusion?
My grandmother clearly praised my qualifications and called me the best witch of my generation, no matter whether it was witchcraft or fighting. How could I face an ordinary person...
Selena blushed as she thought of something, and then her cheeks puffed up with anger, and her thick, slightly masculine eyebrows furrowed.
Seeing his girlfriend's suspicious look, Bourne certainly wouldn't tell her that when he was practicing fighting and training in the past, he usually only used 1 point per person to recover his strength. But this time, in order to teach the opponent a lesson, he used a full 5 points. Not only did he resist the opponent's fierce attack, but he also took advantage of the situation to counterattack and won.
It’s not that you are weak, girl, but that I have a system, haha!
Serena didn't hesitate any more. Too lazy to move, she poked out a round, white calf from under the sheets and pointed her bare toes at the chest of drawers by the door, which was the only tidy place in the room. She lazily said to her dishonest ex-boyfriend next to her:
"The wooden box on the cabinet is given to you by that girl. Remember to take it away later!"
"Carrie?"
"Carrie?! Haha!"
Serena chuckled a few times and looked at Bourne with a playful expression, "Terry has sent someone to take her to the plane. Are you relieved now?"
"This is something my father told me to do. It has nothing to do with me!"
Faced with his girlfriend's life-threatening question, Bourne quickly distanced himself from the matter and changed the subject, asking, "When did it happen? Did your maid tell you? How come I didn't know?"
"Heh, man." Selina saw through the man's little thoughts at a glance. Her cheeks flushed and she said proudly, "This is my territory. Here, the wind is my eyes and ears. Everything here is under my control, especially you, a little thief who steals hearts. Don't think of escaping easily!"
Bourne didn't argue anymore. He walked to the bed and sat down, looking lovingly at his ex-girlfriend who had followed him and supported him since middle school.
After a long while, the two men looked at each other again, but their eyes were still full of love.
"You still have a conscience!"
Selina took off an amulet from her neck, put it on Bourne's neck, and said gently:
"I know about Father Nord's matter, but it shouldn't be a big problem now. Take this amulet with you, it may be useful at a critical moment!"
Bourne let Serena put her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "Did the wind tell you that too?"
Selina just rolled her eyes charmingly, but then her expression became serious:
"Promise me, Bourne, don't take risks easily. Times are changing. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Even though you are much better than ordinary people now," she shook her head, "it's still not enough!"
Bourne seemed to be deep in thought, and was not annoyed by Selina's underestimation. He knew that his ex-girlfriend had always been somewhat mysterious, had a lot of say in the family, and everything she said was always right.
Since she said that, something must have happened that I didn't know about, but I'm not a very curious person.
After driving out of the manor, Bourne pondered the hidden meaning of his ex-girlfriend's words while repeatedly calling his father, but the phone was still busy.
From his ex-girlfriend's vague words, Bourne could tell that his father's action was not just about being injured, but there was another hidden reason, and it was very likely that he was involved in something extremely dangerous, but where did the danger come from? Bourne didn't know.
"Dad, please don't get into any trouble! If possible, I would rather you were still an ordinary truck driver than a part-time 'courier'!"
Anxious Bourne kept calling his father, and soon his eyes were attracted by the wooden box on the passenger seat. This was the "ancestral" gift that Carrie gave him.
The lid of the wooden box had been opened by Bourne, and inside was a book. It was more like a leather scroll than a book, the size of a palm, with a brown cover. The leather scroll was not thick, with only three or four pages. Each page was scribbled with colorful lines of varying thicknesses, just like the graffiti drawn by children with colored pencils when they were bored. However, after looking at it for a long time, the lines seemed to come alive, twisting and extending out from the pages, reaching out to Bourne's hand holding the book.
Just as the line was about to extend out of the page, Bourne suddenly woke up from his daze, quickly closed the page, and threw the whole book back into the wooden box on the co-pilot seat.
Bourne heaved a sigh of relief and withdrew his gaze from the book with lingering fear. When he accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror, his eyes suddenly widened, because he was horrified to find that the person in the mirror had a large amount of thick black liquid flowing out of his seven orifices, and was still grinning at him!
"What the hell!"
Bourne hurriedly reached out to wipe his face but missed it. He suddenly woke up and realized that everything that had just happened was just a dream. His left hand was still holding the phone, and his right hand was still reaching for the wooden box on the passenger seat. The car was loose, and his right foot was still on the accelerator!
Damn it!
Bourne quickly grabbed the steering wheel and released the accelerator.
Fortunately, Bourne's car was the only one on the road, so no traffic accident occurred. However, Bourne still parked the car on the side of the road with his heart pounding.
When he calmed down a little, Bourne noticed that the system had sent him dozens of warnings:
Warning! Foreign mental radiation is detected infecting the host. Do you want to spend 10 points to shield it?
Warning! The host has been detected to be in contact with a source of mental radiation. Do you want to spend 100 points to perform a preliminary seal?
Warning! It is detected that the host has come into contact with items containing mental radiation. Do you want to spend 50 points for preliminary analysis?
……
Radiation?! This thing has radiation?
Bourne suddenly turned his head as if he had seen a ghost and looked at the wooden box quietly placed on the passenger seat. His mind was filled with the horrific scene of himself lying on the hospital bed with pus all over his body, skin ulcerated, and tubes inserted all over his body.
He shook his head vigorously to get rid of the horrible image from his mind. There was no other way because the word "radiation" was too explosive.
"System, preliminary seal!" Bourne decided to block the radiation source without hesitation. After thinking for a while, he said, "System, preliminary analysis." The system gave the following information:
"The Book of Ramblings" - a human-skin book that records the ramblings of false gods.
Effect: Reading this book can increase your affinity with fire and water elements;
Side effects: Readers may experience delirium and hallucinations, and in severe cases may suffer brain death;
Looking at the bright red number on the system panel, which reads "Heavenly Value: -8427/2378", Bourne felt a little distressed.
2378 is the total number of Heavenly Dao points he has obtained so far, and the -8427 in front is the score he has overdrawn. In the past few years, whenever he had free time, he would do volunteer work, or raise funds for orphanages and charities, or follow Black Joe to take down gangs, but the results were minimal.
As a volunteer, your points increase steadily, but the speed is too slow;
Points can be earned quickly by donating money, but it is not sustainable due to lack of money. You also need to do a good job of investigation in advance to make sure the charity you want to donate to is real. Bourne also does this occasionally.
As for the gangs, since he has no law enforcement identity, Bourne has to be careful every time he takes action. If he accidentally hurts ordinary gang members who have not committed too many crimes, not only will he not get any reward, but he will also lose points. As for the stolen money and goods, he cannot embezzle any of them, otherwise he will also lose points. This is like dancing with shackles, which is very inconvenient, so unless the gangster Joe assigns a task, Bourne usually does not do it.
So, is there any way to earn a lot of points quickly?
