Chapter 85: Mind power

Chapter 85: Mind powerOn Sunday, Luke again left Nevermore and again headed to Jericho. This time he used one of the four days he could use to leave Nevermore.

He was dressed in all black. Black hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and sneakers. He also wore black sunglasses. His outing today was incognito. Only Larissa knew that.

He arrived in Jericho and pulled into a dark, smelly alley about two kilometers from The Weathervane. The coffee shop where Tyler worked.

Two kilometers was a long distance. About 2000 meters away. About twenty streets or so. With his domain, he could observe the place perfectly and the presence of the people.

'There they are. In the same place as yesterday. They must be watching Tyler,' Luke thought.

On the street in front of the Weathervane were two presences he recognized that did not belong to normies. The faceless one and the half-breed who had attacked him on Raven Island.

Why were they watching Tyler? Did they know about his Hyde status? If they knew, why were they watching him? Did they want to use him to assassinate him, or was there something else?

Luke would resolve these doubts today. He did not bring Edgar. The old man said it was his first mission, and he had to do it without help.

Hours passed. Both outcasts were still standing in their place, watching the place. Luke was sitting on a dumpster watching them. He didn't think a spy mission would be so boring.

When Tyler's shift was over and he left the cafeteria, they started to move, and Luke kept an eye on them. He didn't need to move from the spot. The distance he covered with his domain was enough.

'Why is he working so hard on a Sunday?' Luke thought grumpily, starting to walk around in case he needed to act or something.

Tyler entered a house most likely his own, and the two outcasts following him settled back in one place to keep an eye on him.

'Will they be watching him all day?' thought Luke, sighing. Just then, Amaranth (the half- breed) left the place. She started to walk away at a great speed. Only the faceless one was left watching Tyler's house.

'It's time,' Luke thought, starting to run towards where the faceless one was. He was getting closer and closer. Two kilometers was an easy two kilometers for Luke. In two or three minutes, he could be there. He was approaching from behind the faceless one's back.

'He has no idea of my presence. This will make things easier,' Luke thought with a slight smile.

Luke arrived at a two-story commercial building and looked up. There stood the faceless man, who was still watching Tyler. He had no idea that his partner's killer was within spitting distance of him.

"What are you looking at, kid?" asked a middle-aged man watching Luke, who was looking up. His looks were suspicious.

'Keep walking quietly. You never saw me here,' ordered Luke, making eye contact with the middle-aged man who obeyed the letter.

With no normies and security cameras in sight, Luke's feet lifted off the ground until he reached the roof of the building. As he stepped onto the ground, the faceless man turned urgently and looked at Luke.

"Who are you?" asked the faceless one in a surprised tone. In front of him was a man dressed in black with a hood and sunglasses. His face was barely visible. A normie couldn't come out of nowhere on the terrace of a two-story building.

"Don't you recognize me anymore?" asked Luke with a faint smile. The faceless one, just like him, was wearing black clothes, but instead of a hood, a cap and sunglasses bigger than his.

"That voice!" said the faceless one in amazement.

"Kneel," Luke said, and the faceless one's knees wavered until he dropped to the ground and knelt.

'What the hell!? My legs won't listen to me,' the faceless one thought in confusion. No matter how hard he wanted to stand up, he could not. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Luke, who had taken off his sunglasses and was watching him with his blue eyes that gave off an icy aura.

"Mind control... Do you have two auras?" The faceless one asked with fear in his tone. At first, he felt a lot of hatred when he recognized Luke's voice since the werewolf Luke killed was his best friend.

However, when he saw the aura Luke gave off, he felt fear. Wasn't he supposed to have lived in a normie orphanage? How was he so powerful? Besides, he was a two-aura user. That changed things a lot.

"On mind control, you're right, but I don't have two auras," Luke replied, watching the faceless one from above.

"What do you mean?" asked the faceless one. He needed to buy time to undo the mind control.

"How do you think I identified you? Less than five minutes ago, you were with a girl named Amaranth. You watched Tyler, the half-Hyde, for hours," Luke said calmly.

"W-what...? How do you know all that?" asked the faceless one in shock. Both he and Amaranth were acting low-key. How the hell did he know her every move?

"Think. What aura allows you to observe distant places and people?" asked Luke.

"C-clairvoyance," replied the faceless one, stuttering and slowly unable to believe his ears. He felt cold sweat run down his featureless face.

He knew Sabrina and all the importance the Spellman family placed on her for having two auras. What would it be like if there was a three-aura user? He didn't even know it was

possible to have three auras.

"Right," Luke said, smiling as he saw the faceless man's expression, even though he had no features, he could sense the fear in his tone, and that was enough for him. It felt good to tell a third party that he possessed three auras. His fear and despair at facing such power. "What are you doing?" the faceless one asked in fear as he saw Luke move his hand closer to his face.

"Don't scream," said Luke, touching the faceless one's forehead with his index finger.

The faceless man felt a sharp pang as if a bolt of electricity shot through his mind. Suddenly, an unbearable pain exploded in his brain, as if thousands of burning needles pierced every corner of his consciousness.

He wanted to scream, but Luke's no-scream command was activated, so he couldn't. The pain intensified, rippling through his mind. The pain intensified, rippling through every nerve. The faceless man's muscles tensed, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

With a last choked shriek, his body slumped heavily to the cold floor.

'First time I've used it on an outcast, and it worked great. It did some good to try it on drug

addicts and normie bums,' Luke thought with no change in his expression as he looked at the

unconscious, faceless man.

Without wasting any more time, Luke began to read the faceless man's memory. His blue aura ability had improved greatly since the time he used it on Sabrina.

If the person was unconscious to be examined, he could read memories from months ago.

Doing so with simple eye contact was an advanced skill he had not yet mastered.

Ten minutes later, Luke had gotten all the information he needed. He stood still in place,

thinking.

'I've got the full picture now. Now I can make a much better plan,' Luke thought with a smile.

With a new idea in mind, he began to erase the faceless man's memories. His name is Deacon. Luke knew by reading his mind.

Luke erased his memory of their conversation and their little fight. He wouldn't let the faceless one tell his companions that he possessed three auras. He only did it to revel in his

expression of fear.

After that, he created new memories in place of the deleted ones. Nothing happened during that time. He was still watching Tyler's house.

Luke was able to erase and create memories at a great speed compared to the first time he did it with Sabrina. He also practiced on drug addicts and homeless normies.

Also, when Deacon regains consciousness, he won't realize he was unconscious and just woke up. To him, he was always awake. Which won't create any problems.

'That's all... Oh, I can try that technique. In the future, he can test if it works,' Luke thought, placing an inhibitor in Deacon's mind.

The process was more complicated, as it was the first time he had placed this kind of thing in a person's brain. One failure, and the person would be retarded or something similar. 'According to the theory in the book, it should already be in place,' thought Luke, shaking his hands and giving the job a clean bill of health.

The inhibitor served to disable the powers of the outcasts. If Luke activated it, the faceless one would not be able to use his strange powers to counteract his telekinesis. "Though I doubt his power could stop my current telekinesis," Luke muttered, shaking his head. He was just doing it to experiment.

With nothing else to do, Luke left the place. Five minutes later, Deacon woke up and continued to watch Tyler's house as if nothing had happened.

'Damn. How long do I have to watch this Hyde?' he thought, stretching his arms out.

Luke watched him with his domain for ten minutes. Making sure nothing had gone wrong. After that, he went back to Nevermore.

His blue aura was key to being able to put his plan into action. It was very useful to act

without attracting attention since he could erase memories, put new ones, and see the memories of his enemies.

In addition, he defeated the faceless one with his blue aura alone. Before, it would have been

impossible to keep an outcast on his knees, but now he could do it and keep him for several minutes without being able to stand up. It was more effective than his telekinetic pressure.

He also had a new technique called pain induction. Just by touching his enemy's forehead, he could induce very high mental pain. To the point that you could end up unconscious.
