Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!-Chapter 459 - 265: Breakthrough, Army Ambush!_2

Yagyuu Ittou’s strength was actually quite average, being merely a First Rank life proficient in sword skills, but his Heart Eye talent was abnormally powerful. He could easily spot an enemy’s weaknesses and launch fatal attacks while excelling in counterattacks. Previously, he had nearly forced Brian to reveal all his abilities.

As for the Body Activation, it was some sort of recovery ability.

Yagyuu Ittou had originally died at the hands of Brian, but Brian later discovered that after returning to the hotel, he had come back to life and wasn’t really dead. It was only because he had lost his handy weapon that Shinnozuke, along with his sword, had managed to cut him down.

This was the function of the Body Activation talent.

Regrettably, Brian didn’t need this talent.

What he needed more was to strengthen his Heart Eye to cover his own talent weaknesses!

"270 units..."

Brian suppressed the impulse to enhance and started examining the obsessions he had just harvested.

...

The first was the obsession of Yamamoto Taku.

His strength was somewhat peculiar, with his sharp Small Tachi and a sword skill that could be considered the pinnacle of perfection, he had the ability to harm Brian and also possessed exaggerated Physical Activity, almost turning into mud yet still not dying.

With a different opponent, he might not have died.

Unfortunately, he encountered Brian, who fought in a life-for-life style and had the flesh corrosion bag to restrain his recovery ability.

Brian had great expectations for this enemy’s Gift of Obsession.

Yamamoto Taku’s obsession: Annihilate the Yagyuu family to avenge the pain of having his wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter taken away!

Gift One: 150 Gift Energy points.

Gift Two: 70 Gift Energy points + Grandmaster Blade Skill.

Gift Three: 70 Gift Energy points + Weak Heart Eye.

Gift Four: 50 Gift Energy points + Energy Insight Eye.

Gift Five: 20 Gift Energy points + Body Activation.

At the end of the obsession, there was also the address of the Yagyuu family and all its members: the ancestral mansion was located next to a temple in an old courtyard in Tokyo. It looked inconspicuous but housed a large number of people, over two hundred, mostly women and children of various ages.

Oddly, among these children, there were very few members over ten years old.

There were also very few elderly members, only three.

As for Kojirou Yagyuu, he was a handsome and mature middle-aged man.

Brian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Five gifts!

A total of five choices for gifts!

And the quality of these gifts was so high!

This enemy, had he been encountered before Yagyuu Ittou, probably would not have been an easy match for Brian.

Now, Brian had killed him with just one punch!

His growth rate was incredibly twisted!

The most dramatic thing was Yamamoto Taku’s obsession...

What kind of hobby did this head of the Yagyuu family have to love others’ wives so much?

The only problem was that Brian had no idea where Kojirou Yagyuu was, let alone wiping out the Yagyuu family.

Left without a choice, he could only look at the other obsessions.

As he looked, surprises kept on coming.

...

Apart from the obsession of Yamamoto Taku, Brian had also harvested the obsessions of two trainees, five ninjas, and one crow during his previous killings, among which one ninja was a First Rank life, equivalent to a Second-level Staff in an official institution.

The obsessions of the two trainees were peculiar; both were to kill the senior disciple of their sword dojo.

One provided twelve units of energy as a gift, the other fifteen units.

For normal humans, even those with heavy obsessions, it was tough to exceed ten units of energy through gifts.

Obviously, these two fellows also had abnormal bloodlines.

In the entire extremity dojo, Brian spared not even a fly, and these two obsessions were completed as soon as he checked them.

Out of the five ninjas, two hoped to kill Brian—immediately rejected.

The other two hoped to kill Yamamoto Taku.

Brian: ..

These were also completed instantly, and he again harvested fifty-five units of Gift Energy.

The remaining obsession was from the old man leading the team: Kill Kojirou Yagyuu to avenge the stealing of his wife and the killing of his son!

Gift One: 110 Gift Energy points.

Gift Two: 70 Gift Energy points + Master Blade Technique.

Gift Three: 30 Gift Energy points + Danger Perception.

Brian: ...

He suddenly became curious about the offspring of these little scoundrels.

Among their peers, they all resented Kojirou Yagyuu.

Among the younger generation, they all resented Yamamoto Taku.

Were they all so deformed and peculiar?

If he killed Kojirou Yagyuu and then exterminated the Ninja Sect, wouldn’t he soar?

With this magical thought, Brian looked at the last crow’s obsession.

Crows are very intelligent birds.

Many institutions breed special crows for reconnaissance and alert.

In Hua Country, this creature is seen as a symbol of filial piety, but the general public doesn’t really like this animal, including the West where many regard crows as impure, bringing death.

Every inspection of an animal’s obsession was like opening a box, often yielding some rather special talents.

With anticipation,

Brian willed it.

Crow’s obsession: Hatch offspring.

Gift One: 15 points of Gift Energy.

Gift Two: 1 point of Gift Energy + Death Perception.

At the end of the obsession, there was also the address of a small tree.

Brian focused on Death Perception.

A stream of information emerged again.

Death Perception: I have already seen your death. Within your field of vision, you can perceive the fluctuations when a life is vanishing.

Brian licked his lips.

This talent might not be useful, but it was certainly rare.

He saw the big tree environment in the crow’s memory—it seemed to be nearby, so he simply began to search.

In a moment,

Brian actually found a somewhat cute man-made nest with a black egg the size of an apple lying inside.
