Chapter 1376
The sunset was like blood shedding over Rain City, and when it crossed the buildings, shadows were cast on the city .
The red and black intertwined . The figure outside the restaurant would move in the gaps of light and shadows quickly while still hidden, the figure even looked elegant, like a dancer shuttling between the darkness and light .
But, the technique wasn’t skillful enough .
“Flashy but not substantial,” Kieran commented in his heart .
Kieran didn’t purposely belittle the figure, but from his perspective, he was sure the figure’s undercover technique had reached at least Master level or higher . However, the figure infused some elegant movements in it, each step the figure took was as beautiful as dancing, and in Kieran’s point of view, the loss outweighed the gain .
An undercover technique’s purpose was to hide one’s presence and prepare one to approach or move away from the target . The main point was being hidden, and the secondary was speed .
Elegance?
Well, sorry . In Kieran’s mind, no matter how elegant or beautiful the action was, it would be meaningless if he was killed in one hit .
His mind started to simulate how the figure would approach and what would happen after the figure entered the restaurant in addition to how to deal with the situation .
Then…
A faint humming was heard .
The figure outside was humming as it moved closer .
It was quite pleasant even without lyrics and instruments, all it had was the voice of a lady, humming in a pleasant mood .
The soft humming was swirling like a stream and unconsciously seeped into one’s heart .
Eckart and Lyn Amie, who were eating, suddenly froze . They looked up with dull faces, placed their chopsticks down, and stood up, twisting their bodies clumsily, as if they were dancing in a trance, but actually, it was unconscious movements .
Their dull faces became blank, their eyes were also slightly out of focus .
Hypnosis!
Kieran squinted his eyes and slammed his hand on the table .
Bang!
The slam was quite powerful, even the chopsticks and bowls on the table shook, and the noise produced was also loud enough as it nicely embedded into the lady’s humming .
Eckart and Lyn Amie then stopped their movements; they looked up in a daze and didn’t know what just happened .
However, Kieran’s slamming on the table didn’t stop .
Bang Bang Bang .
Sometimes loud, sometimes soft .
It sounded without rhythm, like messy thumps, but each noise the slam produced interrupted the humming of the lady, disrupting the melody from her mouth .
The hummings didn’t stop though, the lady kept changing her tone, but it was ineffective, each tone change didn’t achieve what she wanted .
Maybe Kieran was a little unused to the humming at first, thus allowing the lady to get the upper hand, but once Kieran made noise, the tides changed utterly .
In the end, the hummings were messed up completely, the lady who was already in front of the door knocked on the glass quickly .
“Can I come in? I don’t mean any harm . ” Her voice sounded rough, but not intentionally so . It was because she changed her tone rapidly throughout her humming just now .
She had to take a rest; otherwise, her voice would be in trouble, but still, she wanted a meeting with Kieran . It was for official purposes and also private matters .
The scene that went down at the soldier rehabilitation center astonished her quite a bit .
And now? After the disruption?
She admired Kieran even more; she admired Kieran’s attainments in melody quite a bit .
If both of them could have a good talk, she might improve her skills further .
“Come in,” Kieran replied with a slightly cold tone and allowed the lady in .
“Nuna!”
Eckart and Lyn Amie called out loud as though they were facing their greatest enemy .
After they came back from their unconscious state and reacted to what happened, both of them looked slightly surprised and panicked . If Kieran didn’t sit still in his chair, the two of them might have run away .
Engaging a person who could simply hypnotize people with their voice wasn’t something nice for the two of them . But since Kieran was with them and based Kieran’s performance for the past few days astonishing them, the two of them didn’t run and grab whatever they could as weapons .
Eckart took a folded tool, Lyn Amie took a kettle on the table with hot water inside .
Both of them planned to attack the moment Nuna stepped in: throwing the hot kettle at her first before Eckart rushing up for a beating .
However, when they saw Nuna, both of them kept away the things in their hands .
They weren’t strangers to Nuna as she was also a slightly famous shaman in Rain City, so she was initially a first choice invitation to the ‘Shaman’ show, but she rejected it .
It made Eckart think that she was nothing but a skillful con woman .
When Eckart saw her earlier that day, he was rooted in his beliefs even more and even labeled her as a woman who resolved in ‘despicable means . ’
Anyone could tell what Nuna and Kaomu wanted to achieve back at the rehab center .
However, this Nuna at the restaurant seemed a little different .
Kaomu was nothing but an idiot, but Nuna…
“Who are you?”
Eckart asked after throwing a glance at Kieran and got permission .
“Nuna, Rain City’s shaman and…”
“The person-in-charge of the Rain City division of the Hypnotist Association,” Nuna said with a smile .
“Hypnotist Association?” Eckart jolted .
He had never heard of this association before, but it didn’t stop him from feeling the influence of said association from Nuna’s methods .
The person-in-charge of Rain City was able to hypnotize people with her voice, and throughout the entire Neo Union, there were more than 40 cities similar to Rain City .
There were at least 40 more hypnotists similar to Nuna?
And an organization like this would have many branches in different cities, so there must be a headquarters somewhere . Will those hypnotists at the headquarters be stronger?
Eckart’s heart was providing him with endless speculations, but he looked normal . His alert level was raised countless times over, he’d even moved his hand behind his back, signaling Kieran non-stop .
“A loose and free organization . ”
“I came here today to invite 2567 to join us, of course, not forcefully . ”
As a powerful hypnotist, Nuna knew what Eckart was doing by watching the moving folds on his coat . She even knew which fingers he used, but she didn’t expose him .
Her purpose was an invitation, not provocation .
As for her humming during her entrance?
The Hypnotist Association wasn’t a market, not every John Doe could enter, a real test must be held for each potential candidate .
“That just now is a test? Including the one earlier today?” Eckart reacted quickly .
“The humming was really a test, but not the one in the morning . ”
“Although I saw 2567’s hypnotize abilities on TV, I didn’t believe it because actors made it a lot harder to determine the real from the fake in this world . ”
“I am here… For the Bomber . ”
Nuna said with a smile, but when Eckart and Lyn Amie heard it, they were shaken .
