With the help of the young man, Saran's hands were freed in a short while. He moved his wrist, which was broken by the bruises, and observed the kidnapper.

There were not many kidnappers staying in the house. Saran was kidnapped back early, and she noticed that there was usually only one person left in the room. Most kidnappers went outside to catch people. Saran also heard them say that they planned to move the people away tonight.

There is plenty of time. As long as he waits until there are fewer people around, he should be able to escape.

Soon, someone called the kidnappers to have breakfast.

Hearing about breakfast, Saran's stomach growled in response. He hadn't eaten since last night.

The sound made the kidnapper laugh. He glanced at Saran and left for a while. After a while, he came back with a bowl of meat soup. The steaming aroma aroused Saran's appetite.

The kidnapper picked up a piece of meat and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Saran gurgled in his throat, stared at him and nodded.

The kidnapper was overjoyed, then swallowed the meat in one gulp and said rudely, "People like you don't deserve to eat. You only deserve to starve."

Saran's anger suddenly rose.

The kidnapper was still teasing Saran's anger and eating the broth in an orderly manner. Just when he was holding the bowl and preparing to drink the soup, Saran seized the gap when his eyes moved upwards and were blocked by the bowl and punched him in the neck.

The fist that had been working for a long time was swung with all its strength, knocking the kidnapper to the ground. His throat was making a hoarse sound and it was obvious that he would not live long.

The broth spilled all over him, and because the bowl hit him, it rolled to the ground without making much noise.

He killed someone.

Saran thought so, but he was not afraid at all. He wanted to survive, so he had to do this.

He took hold of the knife on the kidnapper's body and used it to cut the rope around his legs.

Without much hesitation, he quickly helped the other three people untie the ropes, which wasted a lot of time. At this time, the cook was already washing dishes. Fortunately, this group of people forgot to return the dishes every now and then, and the cook didn't take it to heart.

Saran hid in the house and secretly observed outside. He found that there were only five people outside. After dinner, they left two people to look after the house, and the rest left.

After a while, the guards returned to the other two rooms. Saran noted their locations and realized that there might be kidnapped people there as well.

It was quiet outside the house. Saran, unable to contain his excitement, carefully opened the door, held the knife and walked outside. The rest of the people in the room followed him, praying for the gods' protection in their hearts.

Perhaps the gods really showed mercy to these unfortunate guys, but when Saran arrived at the main entrance, no one noticed them.

victory is in sight.

Everyone looked at the door excitedly until it opened by itself.

The kidnapper who came back with a young man met the excited Saran's eyes with a confused look on his face and didn't react at first.

"Oh fuck, NIMA!"

After realizing that someone was trying to escape, the kidnapper cursed angrily and held the knife in his hand, ready to chop the person, but there was a young man on his shoulder, and the knife was still in the sheath and was pressed by the young man. He was much slower than Saran who was unobstructed and holding the knife in his hand to draw the knife.

He tried to pull out the knife several times but couldn't because of nervousness.

Seeing the kidnapper about to use a knife.

In desperation, Saran, with a dazed mind, stabbed the kidnapper with a knife. With a "swish" sound, the tip of the knife pierced the kidnapper's heart and he died on the spot.

Two people came out from the other room. They were the kidnappers who were attracted by the scolding.

The kidnapper chased after them, shouting, "Don't run!"

Only a fool wouldn't run.

Saran almost immediately ran away with his men into the bright sunshine.

Adele, who was disguised as a resident and watching nearby, made a gesture and more than a dozen members of the Federation gathered around, scaring Saran and the others so much that they turned pale, thinking that they were also part of the kidnappers.

Saran attacked them without any plan. Adele swung her contract sword and knocked his weapon away. She whispered, "Katie is waiting for you to come back, Mr. Saran. You can leave the rest to us."

Two members of the Federation protected Saran and others behind them, while the others looked at the kidnappers at the door.

They hid their knives behind their backs in embarrassment and quickly jumped back into the room, intending to close the door to prevent these ferocious enemies from coming in.

Adele raised her hand, and the contract sword turned into a longbow and arrow. She aimed at the waists and abdomens of the two men, pulled the bow, and shot the arrow.

The arrow was like a meteor, hitting a man's belt directly and nailing it to the door. The arrow head penetrated the wooden door and flashed a cold light behind the door.

The kidnapper raised his hands and walked into the sunlight, surrendering.

As Noita said, it is indeed auspicious.

Chapter 326 I Think You Are My Teammate

[… Gained 34 experience points… Gained 68 experience points.]

A pop-up window of the log jumped into view, showing Noita's harvest.

This is the experience Saran shared after she killed someone.

Value, as tiny as dust, is the foundation of a mountain - it is a product of conjecture.

Saran is not a member of the Federation, and Noita didn't even know of his existence before he was arrested. However, he can still provide experience to Noita after killing people. This is all due to Noita's experiments and exploration of the moon and fire.

——Since his psychic projection was originally in the form of flames and then transformed into the shape of the moon, Noita temporarily called it Moon Fire.

Previously, Noita confirmed that the Moonfire Radiance could serve as a derivative of his own power, affecting those who were ambushing him from a distance, but slowly deploying the ambushes was too slow.

Noita used his amazing wisdom to set up a self-response program in Yuehuo, so that it would take action against anyone who was not on the whitelist.

Perhaps it was because his evil deeds resonated with the great art that Noita perfected his idea. The fire stealing technique in the log suddenly shone and was completely mastered by Noita.

At that time, the clouds on the Silver Peak were light and the snow fell silently. There was no strange phenomenon that should have occurred after mastering the great art. It was as if this great art was so sneaky and insignificant.

At that moment, no one noticed that she had learned the art of stealing fire, not even Akanli, who was also trying to comprehend the art.

So sneaky.

Noita almost immediately understood the sneaky nature of this skill. How could a truly great skill be so discreet?

The diary's introduction confirmed her thoughts.

You have mastered the art of stealing fire. This includes the arts of imitation, metallurgy, alchemy, and transformation. You have mastered the aspects of stealing fire, increasing the level of your stealing skills. Currently, you have no stealing skills. Experience points are converted to 10. You gain 10 Path Experience points.

You comprehend the truth of faith, don armor and steal fire.

[You comprehend the essence of shadow and casting.]

[Shadow symbolizes uncertainty and refuge...]

【Casting is a change driven by power...】

[Current experience: 623423]

[Principle of Faith: Choose a symbol as your own. You will gain power when the tribes offer sacrifices to you, and you can consume power to respond to the sacrificer. You have mastered the secret of sacrifice and blessing.]

[Armored Stealing Fire: Imitating the image and deeds of those in higher positions, stealing their power. The armored individual must maintain their own will and retain their own identity.]

Oh wow.

They are all abilities that can't be seen in public.

The former is the secret of the gods. Daoist gods naturally do not need faith. They are happy to see believers practice the Dao, and they do not need offerings of faith. However, demigods who have not yet opened up the Dao to become gods are very fond of faith. If they discovered that Noita had gained the ability to collect faith despite being merely extraordinary, it would be a big joke!

It's a pity that this ability can't be used openly, but if you don't want to get involved in religion, it's a good idea to package it as sacrifice and blessing.

After all, who among the extraordinary people doesn’t have a few followers? Noita just decided to expand the number of followers a little bit. There is no need for faith, and they can be gone when they are used up.

As for the skill of stealing fire while wearing armor, Luhua has already proven its value. After slumbering for a thousand years and waking up from a weak state, he stole a wave of Typhon's power and recovered to his full strength in just a few days. He even approached the exemplary realm in one go, which was truly terrifying.

It's just that he died quickly. Fortunately, Typhon is dead. All his current activities are caused by the residual spasms and the movement of recording the world before his death. He has no subjective consciousness. Otherwise, Luhua would have stolen the divine power so unscrupulously and would have been humanely destroyed by the real owner long ago.

These two skills do require a bit of sneakiness, just like the nimble cockroaches in the bathroom, which must never run into the light.

Meeting Light Death.jpg

My thoughts go to the present.

After testing the two abilities he learned from the art of stealing fire, Noita continued with his original bold idea, but he optimized the act of installing a Trojan horse in a person's body, which was condemned by everyone, into giving a blessing.

Yes, the most important function of the principle of faith is not to collect faith, but to identify strangers as followers. Once one person bestows a blessing, all of them will temporarily become one's own.

Saran is the product of this experiment.

Noita would like to name it the mandatory team mechanism.

When viewed from a high perspective, one can discover a very faint trace of moonlight in Saran's soul, which is a symbol of his status as a temporary follower of Noita. When the trace disappears, he will be kicked out of the followers' ranks, and the experience he gained from fighting as a follower will be shared with Noita in part without attenuation.

He will also gain experience and level up at a much faster rate than he would through training on his own. Moreover, the light of the moon and fire can refresh the mind and provide various benefits. The knowledge that Saran remembered in his dream did not come out of thin air, but there was help behind the scenes. The blessing of moonlight requires the consumption of spiritual energy, but the amount is not much.

Although the blessed psychic energy could achieve dozens of times the results if used in battle, she could not gain experience by bullying the weak herself.

Now, he was using his recoverable spiritual energy to gain experience. Even though he was making a small loss based on his battle record, he was actually making a fortune.

What does the log say?

The log was accepted with a pinch of nose. The fact that experience can be shared shows that Noita's method is abstract but feasible.

"Hoo ho."

Noita manipulated the crows to watch Adele deal with the kidnappers and rescue the rest of the kidnapped people.

These kidnappers are all Wingard's men, but some are unaware of it, while others are well aware of it.

Adele and the members of the Musketeers waited in the house for the kidnappers who had gone out to return with the loot. When they were in high spirits, they rushed over. The kidnappers who were still imagining the reward immediately experienced what it meant to be overjoyed and then suffer a tragedy.

In the end, no one escaped.

In the evening, Adele brought the captives back to the Pious Community and had them interrogated by a special person.

Soon after, it was discovered that the members of the Federation had only a small stronghold in this community, and more members took advantage of the undercurrent in Dongcheng District to kidnap people to refine the anti-aging cream. Saran was not the only one kidnapped, and such cases would become more frequent in the future.

Qianxin Community was also affected by the chaos in Dongcheng District.

"So I asked you to get closer to me. As long as you are labeled as Noita, no one will touch the Pilgrim Community anymore."

In the office, Noita tirelessly teaches Adele and lets her know that the situation is not good.

"I've already been labeled by you."

Adele hugged the crow and buried her head in its feathers, rarely giving up thinking lazily.

"But the others don't know." Noita teleported to Adele's side and offered her her shoulder to lean on. "Don't hug Crow, hug me."

Adele followed suit and hugged Noita's waist.

"Besides, I came to Serkar with a commission. People from the Pious Community were kidnapped. Kolan had no reason to stop me from taking advantage of the situation. My small punishment would be justified."

"Who is Kolan?"

"There's a cloud in a skirt, a very gentle senior. I'll introduce her to you if I have the chance."

"Okay. Do I need to deliberately let my guard down?"

"On the contrary, you increased security. Under such strict security, you still trespassed into the community and kidnapped people. You deserve a beating. I remember you bought the law enforcement and governance rights within the Qianxin community from the city hall?"

“Yes, the Federation is now recognized by the City Hall as a devout community management organization.”

"Put this message on a warning sign so you don't miss it."

"it is good."

Chapter 327: Turning Hostility into Peace

Just as Noita said, everything was just the beginning. In the next week, people frequently disappeared in the Qianxin community. Even though the patrol team had improved security to a certain level, it was difficult to avoid the frequent occurrence of missing cases.

What is even more troublesome is that the struggle between the Rango Society and Panqiu's forces has spread to the Qianxin community. The workshop that the Rango Society had placed in the Qianxin community was attacked by unknown persons. After investigation, it was found that the attackers were mercenaries hired by Panqiu.

This has never happened before.

very annoying.

Adele leaned on the sofa angrily, her beautiful face now covered with dark clouds.

Her sponsor stood by silently, her face hidden behind the black veil, unable to be seen, but there was undoubtedly a hint of smile in the depths of her clear and sad eyes.

Ciel asked softly, "Although the damage to the workshop wasn't serious thanks to the timely discovery, it will undoubtedly take some time to repair. Would you like me to lend you some working capital in the meantime?"

The patron's voice was like the fog and wind in the Black Forest, cool and sad.

Compared to a few months ago, her condition has improved a lot and she no longer looks like she is about to commit suicide at any time.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Federation has other sources of funding and is not in a tight spot."

Adele politely declined the offer, and Charles smiled softly, "That puts my mind at ease. East City has become very chaotic due to the gang violence. The number of casualties is difficult to count, and there are also many missing persons. Please be careful."
