Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Chapter 4 The delightful plot of picking up leaks

Randolph Street Market is the largest second-hand trading market in Phoenix. There are more than 800 stalls, filled with various antiques, second-hand goods, and handicrafts. The market has attracted countless shopping enthusiasts and even many people. It came all the way from Jinzhizhou next door.

After Luke parked his car and paid the 10-dollar entrance fee, he followed the flow of people shopping for goods and walked slowly into the market gate, wandering slowly and observing the stalls on both sides of the street. He was more interested in some ancient works of art, especially cold weapons such as swords, but after browsing dozens of stalls, he could not find a few similar items, and even after careful observation, the golden finger did not react, indicating that it was Very ordinary mundane items do not contain supernatural powers.

Although he had thought that supernatural items would not be so easy to obtain, he still felt disappointed. Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Luke decided to visit a few more stalls before leaving to eat.

As he was walking forward aimlessly, suddenly a stall in front of him on the left attracted his attention. The stall owner is a sturdy middle-aged black aunt. In front of her are a dressing table, a makeup mirror, a full-length mirror and other items, which are very shiny and eye-catching. Thinking that mirrors have always been a frequent feature in supernatural works, Luke walked over and took a closer look.

After careful inspection, none of these mirrors triggered Goldfinger's reaction. Luke shook his head in disappointment and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something strange about a comb on the stall, so he squatted down and picked it up.

The aunt opposite saw this and introduced: "This is a horn comb. It is of good quality. It can protect the scalp. It is very comfortable to use to comb your hair. I used to use it every day. We will be moving in a while, and all these messy things will be gone." I didn’t want to take them away, so I packed them all up and sold them in the second-hand market.”

Luke nodded to deal with the stall owner while checking the message from Goldfinger:

[Bald Seven Arrow Comb]

Tie a piece of hair to the seventh tooth from the handle, and at seven o'clock every morning and seven o'clock in the evening, wrap the comb with paper full of numbers and burn it. After seven days, the curse will take effect, and the owner of the hair will gradually go bald within a month; if the seven-day curse ritual is repeated one month later, the cursed person will lose all his hair.

(A comb came from a middle-aged bald accountant. He bought this horn comb, which was said to be able to protect his scalp, at a high price in an attempt to save his hair. But three months later, he could no longer use the comb. Angry. The bald accountant threw the comb downstairs.)

Ah this

Although it is a supernatural item, why do I always feel disgusted with it?

After a fierce psychological struggle, Luke decided to buy it. After all, this is the first supernatural item discovered, so even if the egg is useless, it still has a certain commemorative significance.

Besides, you can also use it to curse people you hate.

He raised his head and inquired.

The items in the second-hand market are generally cheap. The black aunt offered it for only $1. Luke didn't bother to bargain, so he just paid and took the comb, and then continued shopping.

Perhaps his luck in discovering supernatural items this time had not run out. After a while, he discovered another unusual item, which was a blue clay pot. The identification ability gave the information:

【Indian Scalp Jar】

Can be absorbed after opening

(The clay pot containing more than ten Indian scalps has undergone miraculous changes over the years, and there seems to be the sound of wailing ghosts inside)

Luke curiously asked about the origin of the pot, but the stall owner said he didn't know. He is a warehouse treasure hunter driven by interest. He travels around major warehouses in the United States, taking photos of those warehouses that have been forgotten, and then opening them to see whether they are the surprise of getting rich overnight or the shock of losing everything. The main thing is to enjoy it. The thrill of opening a blind box.

In his free time when he is not treasure hunting, he will set up a stall at the second-hand market in the city where the warehouse is located, selling some items of unrecognizable value found in the warehouse. This clay pot was found in a storage warehouse in Phoenix that had not been renewed for more than ten years. He did not find many valuable things in this warehouse. When the pot was shaken, he could not hear what was inside, so it was thrown away. He sold it as a blind box.

Compared with the "Bald Seven Arrows Comb", the items at this stall are generally more expensive, with prices generally ranging from 10 to 20 knives. For Luke, the price was easier to accept, so he bought the pot for $15.

After buying the clay pot, it was getting late, and Luke's stomach began to growl in protest. He turned around and walked faster towards the exit of the market.

Anxious to see the specific effects of the [Indian Scalp Jar], Luke hurriedly packed a portion of spicy chicken wings and returned home. With the chicken wings in his mouth, he locked the door and closed the curtains to prevent the contents of the scalp jar from absorbing the contents and making a big noise that would attract the neighbors.

When everything was ready, he took out the clay pot, cut the sealing kraft paper with a paper knife, and unscrewed the cork of the jar.

There was a rotten and disgusting smell coming from the inside of the pottery pot that had not seen the light of day for an unknown period of time, and the ability seedlings in his mind became active instantly. A message was transmitted to his mind: "Energy residue is found, do you want to absorb it?"

Luke, of course, chooses to absorb.

After confirmation, the ability seedling in his mind suddenly felt a huge gravitational force, swallowing up the wisps of black air at the bottom of the clay pot.

The [experience value] in the personal status bar has been slightly increased, rising to 13% at level 1.

At the same time, a leaf on the seedling is generated, and a new skill slowly appears:

[Indian War Stick Technique]:

The war stick fighting technique is extracted and fused from the remaining souls of 13 Indian warriors. It greatly increases the proficiency of the Indian war stick. You can use psychic attachment to add thunder and fire attribute damage to the war stick.

Perhaps because of the first skill to use supernatural energy, a cool energy flowed out from the void in his mind and settled in the Dantian between his eyebrows. Luke also naturally understood how to use this energy to attach it to weapons.

There is an additional attribute [Psychic Power] quietly added to the panel: 70.

This special energy is named psionic energy by the panel, and the total amount is determined by the strength of the soul.

As the skills were generated, memory fragments of some Indians using "war sticks" to exercise, fight, and kill enemies kept emerging in his mind. Luke also gradually learned what the so-called "Indian war stick" was.

Early Indian war sticks used leather ropes to tie stones to wooden sticks to create weapons similar to the shape of ancient Chinese pumpkin hammers. They were characterized by a heavier top that could use inertia to produce powerful blows. Due to low metallurgical capabilities, metal hammer weapons have never been formed. But the relative advantage is that the war stick is relatively light overall and is easy and flexible to use.

As white pioneers continued to explore, trade, and invade the North American plains, the thunderous sound of muskets and bursts of fireworks strongly shocked the local indigenous people. Indians who believed in animism believed that using this "war stick" would bring about Come and crush your enemies with the power of thunder and fire.

A few Indian tribes obtained some muskets as weapons at that time through trade exchanges or wars. However, since they could not make gunpowder and lead bullets, after the ammunition was exhausted, they could only be used as melee weapons. They held the barrel upside down and used the butt to attack the enemy. Because the size and length are suitable, and it is relatively strong and durable (compared to a stick tied to a stone), many Indian warriors think "Hey, this thing is much better than a stick for hitting people on the head."

The Indian warriors integrated the use of gun butts with other supernatural fighting techniques of the time. After a long period of development and evolution, the "Indian Fighting Stick Technique" learned by Luke was formed.

Good news, I learned the oldest gun fighting technique in North America.

Bad news, gun fighting doesn't include how to aim and shoot.

Luke felt the newly acquired skills for a while, and the memory of swiping the gun barrel and hitting it in his mind made him itchy, always wanting to hit something.

In addition, the psychic attachment skills attached to the skills also allowed him to learn a real supernatural ability and have the capital to fight against spirits. If you encounter a grudge like Sarah Barron again, hitting each one with a stick is no longer a dream.

It was getting late, and school would start tomorrow. Luke did some simple exercises to warm up. He randomly found a stick and became familiar with the use of the Indian war stick, especially the method of psychic attachment, and fell asleep peacefully.
