New Gods of North America

After returning to the detective agency, Lina went to check on Ineisa first. After doing something or seeing something, she quickly slipped out.

She did like the extraordinary materials Wayne left her, and Peter, carrying the small bottle, scurried back to his room first.

However, she didn't cause any big commotion like an "upgrade."

It seemed very secretive.

On the contrary, Peter, who ran out of the room, was more boisterous. He climbed onto the owl's head, riding it up and down for a joyride, and even teasing its ear feathers.

The owl tried several times to throw Peter into the falcon's nest, and the parrot even "hahaha"-ed.

So noisy that it disturbed people's sleep.

The next day, the two prisoners from whom no new information could be extracted were sent to David Mills. He promised to return the extraordinary materials after the trial, so the cellar was also emptied.

The two prisoners had taken on several private jobs helping people eliminate hatred, and they even targeted the detective agency. The detective agency abided by the law, saved bullets, and chose to let the Holy Spirit forgive them.

Today, Georgeburg's local newspaper published the first batch of lottery statistics.

Wayne felt that the atmosphere in the "Old Police Station" was not quite right, but fortunately, no one came to say anything.

Doug had a slightly harder time. When he came back from buying ingredients, he said that many citizens had opinions about it, and even familiar vendors couldn't help but make a few jokes.

Wayne was upright and honest.

He told them to remember to tell others next time that the funds raised all went to the state government, and the detective agency didn't earn a penny. If they were still angry, then they should bet on Wayne to lose, bet heavily.

The reputation of Cohen Pharmaceutical's products was also steadily declining. Someone was seen standing on a platform in the street reading out the clarification articles from the newspaper, but they were treated as a joke by the onlookers.

If there were no problems with the drugs, why would a private detective go to duel with you for no reason?

And it cost everyone 3 cents.

On the way back, Wayne even covered his face and sneaked into the crowd to shout a couple of times, fortunately, he wasn't recognized.

The reconstruction of the detective agency is not urgent at the moment, but he still went to order some repair tools and materials. After the agents rested, they had nothing to do and actually started an internal "ladder match" again.

Because there might be enemies attacking at any time, the agents didn't run to the "arena." They followed the previous rules and took turns on the field "leveled" by Ineisa outside the courtyard wall.

When Wayne came back, he saw a row of people standing on top of the courtyard wall watching.

He thought something new had happened again.

Mainly because Lina was neglecting her duties, taking the lead in joining the fun.

Liam's extraordinary ability felt more advanced than the previous "chameleon" in the detective agency.

Not only were his movements harder to detect, but he also had a bit of a "psychological stealth" effect, allowing him to better "blend into the environment."

The "chameleon" was not as good as Liam in this regard, but the "chameleon" could actively change his skin color and so on, even turning bright red.

So, in the friendly atmosphere of "bullying prisoners," Liam's nickname became "Glass."

He failed to successfully squeeze out the title of "Chameleon."

When these two guys fought, it was like playing "hide-and-seek." The field was almost empty, as if no one was there.

In the end, Lina, the on-site referee, couldn't stand it anymore and declared the "chameleon" the winner—if you couldn't use a gun after removing the disguise, Liam really couldn't beat him.

However, Wayne understood why Willie's nickname was "Judgment."

Willie and Liam's match was also similar to "hide-and-seek," especially since this was a new field, and many of the collapsed trees had not been removed yet, making the scene more cluttered and Liam harder to detect.

Willie relied entirely on "listening to identify the position" and "throwing branches randomly" to roughly confirm the other party's location and avoid attacks.

Their battle ended when Willie finally found an opportunity and delivered a sudden "uppercut" into the air.

The power was transmitted along the surrounding environment surfaces, and then Liam screamed and fell down, clutching the area between his legs...

Indeed... quite "Judgment"-al...

After watching for a while, Wayne ran to the kitchen like a profiteer, asking Chef Parker to make the most suitable processed cheese slices from the purchased cheese at the lowest cost.

He also concocted several kinds of sauces, and then recorded the recipes to make them the standard configuration of the detective agency's "canteen."

Carbonated drinks were difficult to obtain, but simple soda water was fine. Just make do with it.

They couldn't let the detective agency's food standards decline sharply every time the chef was not at home or went on "strike," which would affect the quality of life too much.

After the agents had roughly re-ranked, they went to the kitchen to be guinea pigs.

Unfortunately, the test product that Wayne thought was the best didn't get many votes in the detective agency, so two flavors of processed cheese slices were initially decided, and Wayne's favorite was called "Blackstone Town Style."

It could be seen that Lina and the others had gained some "harvest" on their trip to Georgia.

However, the "shelf life" of the extraordinary materials was limited, so they were distributed on the road.

The agents' rankings had changed a lot. Conner's top position now seemed a bit precarious.

Sanders was said to have advanced once, and the strength he could unleash had become greater. Even without considering the issue of "life and death," Conner would probably have a harder time winning now. It would be clear after he came back for a real test.

Also facing a challenge was Cowardly Peter.

He was originally considered the "passing line" for testing newcomers' observation skills, not very harmful, but highly insulting.

But "Glass" Liam was obviously more testing of other people's observation skills, and Cowardly Peter really couldn't outlast Liam without using his extraordinary abilities.

However, Cowardly Peter didn't have to completely exhaust the spiritual power in his body. After pretending a little, Liam was hooked and it became an ordinary hand-to-hand combat.

It could only be said that it was "give and take, evenly matched."

They tentatively took a day off to rest. Ineisa said that she had improved slightly, but she still had to continue soaking, and she didn't even eat anything.

No one knew what kind of soup the extraordinary material from the "death" domain had been made into. Even Ineisa's small wooden house now looked a bit gloomy, and the falcon, ridden by Peter, would make a detour when passing by in the sky.

The daytime was fairly peaceful.

After the sun went down, the agents began to carry live ammunition.

Some animal traps and other things were also set up in advance outside the several locations where the attackers liked to "climb over the wall."

Wayne originally thought it might not be of much use, but Lina knocked on his office door in the middle of the night.

Lina was a little mysterious at first: "Shh! Listen..."

Then, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from outside the small courtyard.

"Ah——"

Wayne grabbed the bolt-action rifle placed at hand and immediately jumped up from the sofa.

Others have already hit the doorstep, are you still playing?!

Then, the sound of gunshots resounded one after another in the small courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, there were successive screams of being shot and shouts of "attack."

Wayne was slightly relieved and ran non-stop to the roof of the big warehouse, intending to choose a good position to experience the feeling of being a sniper.

As a result, as soon as Wayne climbed to the roof, he was like, "Oh my god, what the heck!"

Tonight, one by one, their eyes started to glow.

What kind of things are coming?!
