Locke suspected that the investigators deliberately left the windows open so they could climb in if necessary.

He remembered Sigurd saying that the sixth floor was the director's private storage room and dormitory, which meant that even after get off work, Rhaenys would not leave the Abnormal Bureau.

But Sigurd also warned him not to disturb Rhaenys easily. Rhaenys has many secrets.

Locke walked up to the fourth floor from the second floor, and a strange crying sound came from the library.

If Locke hadn't known Miss Ghost and knew she lived in the library, he would have been frightened by the crying and thought he was a ghost.

He continued to walk up at a leisurely pace. The fifth floor was the archives room. The door of the archives room was similar to the door of a bank vault. There was a complex gear turntable outside the thick iron door.

As soon as Locke got closer, he heard a bang.

A raised human-shaped face appeared on the heavy iron door, as if someone was interrogating the prisoner in violation of regulations and smashed the prisoner's head on the iron door, causing the iron door to deform.

But it was impossible for anyone to be in the archives at this late hour, and it was impossible for anyone to have the head to smash the iron plate into such a shape.

Locke took a closer look and found that the newly raised humanoid face seemed to evoke a strange smile.

Locke suspected that he had seen it wrong. He wiped his eyes and the raised mark on the iron door disappeared, as if it had never been there before.

He pricked up his ears and heard the sound of someone talking inside.

"Stop teasing him, he's just a poor newcomer, Dimo."

"Angela, I just wanted to say hi to Locke."

"Forget it, Locke can't know about our affairs."

"Sigur, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you have to ask Robson."

"Boyd, don't kill people."

Locke frowned. Dimo, Angela, Siegel, Robson and Boyd were all in the archives? what are they doing? Who was killed?

What can't you let me know?

No, they couldn't all be in the file room, and it was late at night. At this time, Sigurd was already in a certain wife's bed. He would never work overtime in the Irregularity Bureau, let alone interrogate prisoners.

Moreover, all tasks are basically completed in small teams. For now, there is no case that involves all investigators together. If there is, Rhaenys has no reason not to tell her.

If she really doesn't tell herself, it proves that this is not something she should know.

There's something fishy in the archives! Or maybe some weird thing is locked in the archives and wants to come out! So he imitated all the investigators' voices to try to lure me in.

Thinking of this, Locke swallowed, quickly left the fifth floor and stepped onto the stairs of the sixth floor.

Finally arrived at Rhaenys's dormitory.

Locke knocked on the door.

"Director, are you there?"

Rhaenys, who was wearing pajamas, opened the door and looked at Locke sleepily.

"Locke, is something wrong?"

"Director, I saw Krista again. They seem to be here for the strange creature C03. Maybe it's because I have been in contact with C03 before and she smelled my scent. In short, I am being targeted."

Locke swore that he definitely did not look at Rhaenys's translucent white lace suspender nightgown or her fair and slender thighs. His mind was on the report, so he stared at Rhaenys intently.

Rhaenys narrowed her eyes and closed the door.

About 3 minutes later, the room door opened again.

She had changed into a purple windbreaker uniform, every button was buttoned, and no trace of skin was exposed below her neck.

"Go to the office."

Locke followed Rhaenys downstairs. This time, the fifth floor became surprisingly quiet. There was no sound of any discussion, and the iron door did not deform.

"I just heard Sigur and the others discussing inside."

To verify his suspicion, Locke said to Rhaenys.

A faint smile appeared on Rhaenys' lips, "It seems that you have controlled your curiosity very well. This is a good thing. Too much curiosity will kill the investigator."

"What exactly is in the archives?"

Locke asked confused.

Rhaenys said calmly, "I take back the compliment I just gave you."

"Sorry, Director, I was wrong."

Locke immediately admitted his mistake.

Rhaenys glanced at the well-behaved and sensible Locke and replied,

"The archives store the processing files of all weird events. These files are very precious, so we used a weird thing to protect them. This weird thing is called B116. It has its own soul and is very eager to be free. It has always wanted Escape from the Bureau, so it always tempts newcomers. Once you are intrigued by it and open the door to the archives, it will tempt you to take it away, and in the end you will become its puppet.”

Locke's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed again. He asked tentatively,

"What's it called?"

"We call it the safe."

Locke nodded slightly and remembered the characteristics of the safe numbered B116.

The two walked to the fourth floor, and the library became surprisingly quiet.

"I thought I heard Miss Tia crying just now."

Locke said.

"Don't worry about her. During the day, her memory is basically sealed. She only remembers cleaning and reading. At night, she remembers that she used to be a human being, and then she starts crying and complaining endlessly. , don’t go into the library after 12 midnight, because you will be dragged by Tia to talk about her tragic experiences throughout the night, and how the evil director persecuted her.”

Rhaenys said in a calm tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, the cry of the ghost girl Tia came from the library again.

"Woooo~ Why do you want to turn me into a weird thing, why do you keep me here, Rhaenys, you are more vicious than a demon, I curse you! I will always curse you! Wuwuwu~ I Poor fiancé Chuck, I want to see Chuck, bring him to me."

This time, Tia also spoke complete words.

Locke looked at Rhaenys in surprise.

Rhaenys shook her head, ignored Tia, and answered Locke's question,

"Chuck has been dead for many years. The ghost's memory is not complete. She can't remember everything. If you tell her now, she will collapse and cry even harder."

The two walked to the third floor, which belonged to Rhaenys's office.

Rhaenys turned on the light in the office. The orange light dispelled the darkness in the room and blended with the bright moonlight outside the window.

"Tell me more about what you saw today and why you feel you're being targeted."

Rhaenys sat on the mahogany sofa chair, resting her chin in her hands, looking at Locke.

Locke sorted out his language and recounted what happened today.

Briefly describe the moving process, focusing on the encounter with the white carriage.

"...This is the second time I have encountered this carriage. There is a red-haired woman sitting in the carriage. She and Krista must be together. They are talking about B03's music box that teases time, and they also mention the witch. book."

"Witch's Book?"

Rhaenys frowned and asked,

"Are you sure it's the Witch's Book?"

"I'm sure they seem to be looking for those two things."

Locke pointed to his ear, "My hearing is very good, I can't hear wrong. Director, what is the Witch's Book?"

"The Witch's Book is also called "The Witch's Apocalypse". It records the deeds of 12 ancient witches. It is the back-up method used by the 12 ancient witches to resurrect themselves. It is also a strange object that all witches want, numbered B021."

Rhaenys explained.

Locke's eyes widened and he almost couldn't control the change in his expression.

The Witch's Book that Krista was looking for turned out to be "The Witch's Apocalypse". This book was in Xiao Ai's place. Could it be that Krista had the music box appear in Kosolk from the beginning? For Xiao Ai, right?

The target she is targeting is not herself, but Xiao Ai.

But she couldn't find Xiao Ai's specific location because Xiao Ai was protected by an evil god and erased her aura.

So she uses Garken's coffee shop, a music box that plays with time, to seduce foodie Xiao Ai.

No foodie can resist the smell of coffee.

Xiao Ai did almost fall into the trap.

No, I have to go back and tell Xiao Ai about this.

Locke thought so.

"Locke, you seem surprised. Have you heard of "The Witch's Apocalypse"?"

Rhaenys looked at him quizzically.

"Yes, I have actually studied a lot of books related to witches. Of course, most of them are just gossip and gossip, but "The Apocalypse of the Witch" was indeed mentioned in them."

Locke said half-truthfully, he realized that he should not have too exaggerated expressions in front of the director in the future.

"Locke, it seems Freya is right, you really like the witch."

Rhaenys said calmly and picked up the coffee cup on the table.

Hot coffee automatically appeared in the coffee cup.

Locke suddenly wanted this ability, so let's call it automatic refill.

He scratched his hair,

"Actually, I don't like it that much."

Rhaenys raised her amber pupils and looked at him.

Locke swallowed, feeling that it was not appropriate to say he liked it, nor was it appropriate to say he didn't like it.

The director in front of me is a witch.

"I only like kind witches."

Locke added.

"Then you are really an innocent boy."

The corners of Rhaenys's mouth raised, revealing a faint smile,

"There are no kind witches in this world. If you meet one, it proves that you have been deceived. All witches are good at pretending."

"Forehead……"

Locke sweats.

Director, are you saying that you are evil?

"You still need to continue to learn more from Boyd. Also, if you encounter something like this in the future, the first time you will discuss it is not with me, but with your partner Boyd."

"I remember. I will."

Locke said sincerely.

Rhaenys nodded slightly, "Did you bring the devil's pipe?"

"Bring it."

Although Rebecca was placed at home as a handy maid, he took the pipe with him.

"Demon Rebecca is a very easy to control guy. She can protect you to a certain extent, but you must feed her a living soul every once in a while so that her power will not weaken. If you If you can’t find a suitable partner, you can ask Boyd to take you to the prison, where there are countless death row inmates.”

Rhaenys reminded.

Locke was slightly stunned, not expecting that Rebecca still needed to be raised like this.

"Then...how long does it usually take?"

"About a month, depending on whether you have used her in a major war. The last time she ate was at the beginning of this month. Next month, you must let Boyd take you to prison, otherwise she is likely to hurt your family."

"Thank you, Chief. I'll remember that."

"How is your shooting skill now?"

"I can already hit the target within 200 meters."
