The thirteen-year-old girl said every day that there was a stench of a rotting corpse in the house. Finally, she had a fight with her mother at home because she couldn't stand the smell and wanted to escape from the house where the corpse was hidden.
Neighbors who heard the noise thought her mother was abusing her and called the police.
Luke and his companion happened to be downstairs of the building, and without notifying the patrolling police, they followed the arriving police officers upstairs.
After knocking on the door and finding out what happened, Luke looked around the house thoughtfully, then smiled and said to the little girl, "Let me bet you don't think there's a dead body in your house."
The little girl shook her head frantically: "Impossible, I smelled it, someone must have hidden a body in my house, that's definitely the stench of a corpse."
Luke smiled: "Is the bet established?"
The little girl hesitated and nodded: "OK."
Luke picked up a small metal ball on the table. It was similar to the steel ball used in bicycle rollers. It was smooth and round, but about one centimeter in diameter and felt heavy in the hand.
The next moment, he waved his hand, and the metal ball cut through the air and shot into a corner of the wall.
Squeak! After a burst of screams, everyone looked over there and found a big gray rat.
It struggled there, as if trying to return to the cave next to it, but was severely injured by the metal ball just now and could only struggle in its death throes.
Everyone: What does this mean? An acrobatic show
Luke looked at the little girl's mother and said, "Can we open up the rat hole a little? You won't ask us for compensation, will you?"
The mother hesitated, but finally nodded: "Okay, but... can you not tear it down too big?"
Luke nodded: "Just a little."
Then he asked for the baton the police officer carried and pried open some of the rat hole.
After only prying open a dozen centimeters, a somewhat rotten rat corpse appeared inside, and a strong stench hit the face.
Police Officer: …No wonder you wanted to use my baton.
The little girl cried out, "Ah! That's it! That's the smell! It's a dead mouse!"
The matter was resolved. Luke smiled and touched the little girl's head: "Why do you think that is a human body?"
The little girl looked at her mother cautiously, and seeing her angry look, she dared not say a word.
Luke turned to his mother and said, "Ma'am, please don't blame your daughter. Maybe her sense of smell is a little sensitive, but a dead mouse in this room is definitely not good for your health. She found something unusual, you can actually trust her a little more, and if you check the house a little, this kind of thing won't happen. What do you think?"
The mother was embarrassed.
She had always thought that her daughter was being unreasonable, but now the facts were before her.
Although my daughter said some mistakes, she was not lying.
The mother apologized to the little girl: "I'm sorry, Alisi, I was wrong about you. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
The little girl, Ailixi, shook her head and ran over to hug her: "I'm sorry, Mom. I shouldn't have watched the horror movie secretly. The bad guys hid the body in the wall, and it was discovered because of the smell, so I..."
The mother hugged her and said, "No, it's because I go out to work every day and come back very late. That's why you're bored and watch TV. It's all my fault."
Luke smiled and put his contact information on the table: "It seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved. This is the contact information of my partner and I. If you have any questions, you can call it. But Alisi, I want to make another bet with you. If you don't call this number within ten days, you win and the bet stands?" Then he turned and left.
In her mother's arms, with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face, Alixi waved goodbye to him: "OK!"
System: You defeated Ellysi and obtained her ability list.
You have gained Alixi's gratitude and can learn all of her abilities.
Ability of Elishi: Sensitive sense of smell (x gene, prerequisite: strength 20. Required points 1000.)
Luke was smiling the whole day, which made Selina next to him feel uneasy: He was so happy just helping a little loli. Could it be that Luke has awakened some extraordinary hobby
Luke was really happy.
He encountered this kind of low-probability event, which was equivalent to picking up a superpower for free.
Moreover, the prerequisites and points were no problem at all for him.
He learned this ability without hesitation.
After learning the ability of keen sense of smell, Luke once again figured out some of the system rules.
The so-called prerequisite strength 20 may be the basic condition that the body already has a certain ability.
Even though he hadn't learned this ability, Luke had smelled a faint stench in the house just now.
This means that once the prerequisites are met, his body itself will have abilities that surpass those of ordinary people, such as sense of smell and self-healing.
Rather, his ability to learn seemed to allow him to quickly master a more effective way of using his sense of smell.
His already keen sense of smell could only detect odors and distinguish between fragrance and stench.
After learning the keen sense of smell, his intuition can tell him the source of various smells in the air.
Whenever Selena passed by, he could smell a familiar scent of shower gel and shampoo.
Vaguely, his intuition told him that a woman had just walked past here.
That feeling is really mysterious.
This way of observing the world is similar to how bats use ultrasound to perceive the outside world.
The reason why the little girl Alisi didn't smell the stench of rat was probably because she was too young and had a strong psychological suggestion from the horror movie. It was more likely that she didn't know that she had the ability of a keen sense of smell.
Luke was happy for the whole afternoon, but he felt a little upset the next day.
Today is the day when a certain man of destiny, a super playboy, comes to Houston for a meeting.
Early in the morning, Luke and Selina were sent to the venue to monitor the scene, maintain order, and solve any temporary problems.
Only then did Luke discover the side effects of his keen sense of smell.
That is... too sensitive.
More than 200 people entered the hall, and more people kept coming in.
Most of these people, both men and women, spray perfume, and a lot of them have strong body odor. Some have body odor, and quite a few have bad breath. Foot odor is commonplace.
Luke almost vomited.
In the end, he had no choice but to find a mask and put it on, and he was able to barely hold on.
With his temper, he couldn't help but curse that bastard Borrick in his heart.
They are from the serious crime squad, not special police, and are not good at protecting important people. Most police officers do not have this training course.
Borick just threw them there because there were more troubles and more mistakes.
Luke couldn't walk yet, and he couldn't say that he was about to pass out from the stench.
Besides, if he left, wouldn't Selina be left alone? If anything went wrong, she would have to take the responsibility alone.
