Old John observed Shad's expression:
"This is a really good thing. If it wasn't because you were introduced by Louisa and the others, I wouldn't propose this deal."
Xia De was very moved in his heart, but remained calm on the surface:
"Then what's the price? Or what about the side effects? Couldn't it just be that the ashes water is hard to drink?"
"Side effects? Oh, it's actually nothing."
Old John is an understatement:
"It's just a strong spiritual pollution. The stronger the supernatural power of the brand, the stronger the pollution you will encounter when you drink the water, but if you get through it, there won't be any major problems. Detective, what's the matter, do you want to change it? "
What Xia De is most afraid of is spiritual pollution. In the afterglow state of divinity, he can even face saints directly. The pollution characteristics of relics are definitely not comparable to real gods.
"Although [Witch's Carbon Paper] is very good, it is obvious that I am worth more. Immortality has a price, and it is also immortality."
Shade tapped on the countertop.
"Of course not one for one. Two sheets of carbon paper for one of your finger bones."
The old man had a smile on his face, and he believed that Xia De would not refuse.
"Okay, let me think about it again."
"What else are you thinking about? Do you still want to add more money? Oh, young man, I really won't earn you this time."
"No no no."
Xia De shook his head:
"This thing is not my own. If I choose to change it, but the other party doesn't want [Witch's Carbon Paper], where can I go to pay four-digit gold pounds?"
He took out the wallet in his pocket, paid for the time key first, and put the delicate wooden box back into his pocket.
"Then you reply to me as soon as possible. My business here is very good. I can't leave you for too long."
"I'll be back in an hour."
Xia De said, Old John waved his hand at him, and picked up the newspaper beside him boredly:
"As soon as possible. If you want to get a commission, you can introduce me to your friends. Old John's Pawn Shop has everything!"
He still doesn't forget to market his business.
"Does the Orthodox Church also do business?"
"I won't do this, and I won't do any business that has anything to do with the Orthodox Church."
"That would be a pity."
Xia De's original plan was to report directly to MI6 after leaving the **** shop. But it was still early, and the reporting time did not stipulate that it must be in the morning, so he paid for the carriage again and went to the address left by Miss Bayas last night.
Then, as expected, on Monday morning, Miss Bayas, who had a regular job, was not at home. After Xia De knocked on the door, the landlady who opened the door looked at him with anti-thief eyes, and refused to reveal where Miss Bayas had gone.
"But since there will definitely be a deeper relationship with Miss Bayas in the future, it's impossible not to get close to that security company. Anyway, it's just a matter of time..."
He checked what he was carrying, and hid [Gun of Kindness], [Twenty Sided Dice of Destiny] and [Skeleton of Yin Corpse] on his body where they could not be seen directly, and then walked towards the Blackstone Security Company ...It is only half an hour's walk from the apartment that Miss Bayas rented, and Shade will not pay for a carriage again.
The location of Blackstone Security Company is in the area between Tobesk's North City and West City. The security company occupied an entire three-story building with a sign outside.
The business carried out here overlaps with Shade's detective agency, but the security company is only used to cover up the identity of the ring warlock team, so they generally don't accept commissions from ordinary people unless they don't have any tasks at the time.
Shade came to this street named Swan Castle Street on foot. Looking at the towering buildings and hurried pedestrians, he knew that this street was a well-known commercial street in the West District of Tobesque, where the offices of large factories and business operators were located. Merchants of transnational business gather here.
The small building of the Blackstone Security Company is not conspicuous on this busy street, because on one side is the Tobesk City Taxation Bureau, and on the other side is the Tobesk office of the "Haowei Aquatic Products United Company" in Lengshuigang City. office.
The buildings of the two are very grand, but the small building in between is a bit inconspicuous.
After Xia De looked up to confirm that the house number was correct, he walked into the slightly narrow door on the first floor.
On the first floor, facing the entrance is the reception desk. A middle-aged woman in uniform was knitting in front of a magazine, and a white cat lay beside the knitting basket. At least the first impression, this is a very ordinary security company.
Seeing someone coming, the lying white cat looked at Xia De curiously, while the middle-aged woman hurriedly put down her work:
"Sir, what's the matter? Do you need to entrust?"
"Ring Warlock?"
he asked in his mind.
[Yes, but not strong. 】
"No, I'm looking for Miss Iluna Bayas."
He said simply that he was not nervous, but his footsteps stopped at the door, and he did not plan to continue walking inside:
"I'm a detective from Plaza Saint Teresa. She went to my place to investigate some things last week. Before leaving, she said that if there are any details that need to be added, she can come here to find her."
The middle-aged woman looked him up and down:
"Yes sir, please wait a moment."
Then he hurriedly walked towards the interior of the building, hearing the sound that he was going upstairs. The white cat that had been "eyeing" on the ball of wool stood up, sprinted to Xia De's footsteps, and while circling around his feet, rubbed his body against his trousers.
"Huh? It seems that after I came to this world, I was always so popular with cats. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com What is the reason?"
Thinking in his heart, he knelt down and patted the back of the white cat, which made a pleasant "meow" sound.
"It's really rare. The cats we have here are usually very aggressive towards strangers."
Hearing Miss Bayas' voice, Shad stood up. Unexpectedly, the white cat stood up on its hind legs and straightened up, as if it wanted to be hugged by Xia De.
Both Miss Bayas and the middle-aged female receptionist laughed, and Shad could only pick up the cat that was at least twice the size of Mia, and it seemed to like Shad quite a bit.
Probably because Xia De was welcomed by the "domestic cat" of the security company, coupled with Miss Bayas' familiar attitude, the middle-aged female receptionist did not doubt Xia De's identity.
Xia De hinted that he had something to say, and Miss Bayas, who understood, led him to the temporarily unused lounge on the first floor, which is used by the ring warlocks of the security company to rest. The normal office area is on the second floor. building.
"Detective, why did you come to me suddenly? We just parted ways ten hours ago, do you need help?"
