Chapter 44: Will bE FIXED SOON
I was speechless. More importantly, I realized there was no point arguing with a smoker, especially a heavy one like him.
It’s not like anyone in this world knew about the health risks associated with tobacco anyway. Talking about lung damage would just make me sound like a lunatic. And really, even back on modern Earth, people kept smoking despite warning labels printed right on the packaging. If that didn’t stop them, why would my warning work here?
"By the way, do you know anything going on over Nolan Street?" I asked, changing the subject.
"It might be reckless to use this pill so soon, less than a day after arriving in this world, but for the sake of my future... for the sake of a good night’s sleep without worrying about a knife pointed at me in the dark... this is worth it."
Without hesitation, I placed the pill in my mouth, but didn’t swallow. Instead, I held it between my cheek and gum.
This way, I could activate it instantly if things went south. And if Peter wasn’t nearby, I wouldn’t waste it.
While keeping the pill tucked away, I reached into the bag again and pulled out a thin talisman with a drawing of an eye without eyelids.
[Inspection Talisman]
[Function: Allows the user to see a target’s personal information, such as name, stats, race, and age. It can also reveal weaknesses or hidden conditions and illnesses.]
[Usage: Aim the talisman at your target. It can be used from a distance. Speak your chosen Incantation to activate it.]
About half a minute later, using a building as cover, I cautiously craned my neck around the corner and looked down Nolan Street.
I spotted someone right away.
