Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Charlie is a natural optimist. Under his leadership, the tense atmosphere was swept away. Thomas, who fell into self-doubt, took a sip of wine and continued to share the latest news.

"Major General Gordon is currently out of work at home. The military claims that it is a vacation, but it is actually a dismissal."

No wonder he has time to hold a banquet... Joyce complained in his heart, and at the same time keenly linked William's sacrifice and Gordon's dismissal. Based on his previous experience in history, this situation is probably between military factions. The result of a lost fight.

So, he asked directly:

"why?"

"I don't know." Thomas shook his head and said in a erratic tone:

"There are rumors that it may be related to the recent resurgence of missing persons."

"Hey!" Charlie sneered, "When did human trafficking disappear?"

Thomas did not refute the words, but added:

"The scale of this discovery is very alarming. The report shows that, including several small tribes in the southern continent, all the inhabitants of the unnamed island in the waters near Rhosid have disappeared mysteriously, and there is no clue left."

"According to you, it doesn't seem like something ordinary people can do, at least General Gordon can't do it, right?"

Charlie's father was a major general before he retired, so he is very aware of the major general's rights and power, and it is impossible to hide such a big thing from MI9.

That's because there is a high level of power to cover up. Our King should have discovered the tomb of the "Dark Emperor" and started to traffic people to build the cemetery... Joyce immediately thought of the last floor, he raised his voice slightly and said:

"With General Gordon's character, he would never be involved in such things."

Thomas gave him a deep look and then explained:

"So it's just speculation, and there may be other reasons for Major General Gordon's dismissal."

"Okay, let's talk about something interesting..."

Then, Thomas didn't reveal any more valuable news, and the topic between them slowly turned to gossip and women.

……

When chatting and spanking with good friends, time will pass quickly.

After the three said goodbye, Thomas did not go back to his residence directly, but ordered the driver to change direction halfway and go to the place where he usually works.

Showing his ID to the heavily armed guards, he walked into the heavily guarded building, which is the headquarters of MI9 in the Rorsted Islands.

Because it was a weekend, there were not many staff members, and only the power to maintain basic operations remained on the bright side. Thomas greeted his familiar colleagues, walked around the building, and came to the door of his immediate supervisor with ease. .

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Sir, I'm back." Thomas closed the door and stood at attention.

The "senior" who was writing hard at the desk was a man in his thirties. He raised his head, revealing a weather-beaten face with a hideous scar near his left eye. His voice was heavy and powerful:

"Meet Joyce Best."

"Yes, sir." Thomas reported directly: "I used the matter of Major General Gordon's dismissal to lead to the disappearance case. He behaved normally and should have no knowledge of the matter."

"Don't rush to a conclusion, what if he faked it?" The scarred-faced officer sat upright on the chair and said slowly.

Thomas wanted to justify that he knew Joyce very well, and it was hard for him to deceive himself, but he didn't say it, just kept silent.

"I remember that Joyce once asked you how to get extraordinary power. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, sir, according to your instructions, I will give him the contact information of a military informant."

"Has he become an Extraordinary as he wishes?"

Thinking of the shock that Joyce brought to himself this morning, Thomas thought for a moment and then replied:

"According to the information returned by the informant, he is still just an ordinary person."

"How could a person who started chasing extraordinary powers after his father's death have no reason?"

"Help Joyce become an Extraordinary first, I believe he will lead us to find the truth."

The Scarface officer pulled out an ugly smile:

"When this task is completed, your contribution will be almost accumulated, enough to make you an 'Interrogator' of Sequence Seven."

"Go, don't let me down."

"Yes, sir." Thomas stood at attention and saluted.

……

Joyce didn't know the undercurrent hidden behind him, he just made the same choice as Thomas, instead of going home, he drove to the Oak Bar.

Different from the greenness he was when he came last time, he asked for a cup of Valdos, which tasted good, and knocked on the door of chess and cards.

Sure enough, the "Scale" was playing cards, but the opponents had changed a lot.

This is to squeeze all the money out of those guys last time? Joyce raised his glass to signal, and "Bian Ping" smiled at him, handed the card in his hand to his subordinate, and walked to the room where the two of them discussed the entrustment without saying a word.

"Is there a result of my commission?"

Joyce put down the wine glass, looked at the confident "balance" and asked.

"Tian Ping" took out a stack of documents from the cabinet behind him and put it on the table, raised Erlang's legs and said:

"This guy is quite cautious and has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability. It took a lot of trouble for my people to get this information."

No matter how I say it, I won't add any more money... Joyce murmured in his heart, opened the information and started a quick check.

It turned out that "Locke" was just a pseudonym, and "Clo" was the real name he used in his pirate career.

As a pirate, Crow's bounty is only 1,200 pounds, which is the type that adventurers and navy like most. The strength is not strong, and the bounty is considerable.

Pirates of his level either join a large pirate group, or are turned into bounties, but Crow is different. He can always avoid danger and find merchant ships that are not strong enough to defend and gain a lot of money. "Practice" has never encountered a major crisis in the past ten years.

It is precisely because of this that he has a nickname called "Lucky Chloe", but according to people familiar with the matter, Chloe himself prefers to be called "wisdom".

"Intellectual Crow".

After the story of "Lucky Klo" spread, more and more people hunted him down as a treasure, but Klo retired immediately and disappeared without a trace, even he The crew has no news.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world. Emperor Roselle said: Anyone who walks through it will leave traces.

Chloe has a fatal quirk, he likes girls and... boys, to the point of morbidity, which allows him to successfully reveal his whereabouts.

Finally, the document marked Cloe's current address: 52 Pritzker Street.

This investigative report... is too detailed, as if someone pressed Clow's head to force him to write it down... Joyce looked up at the confident "scale" and thought: he would not be Information from the Navy.

"Very good, I'm very satisfied."

Joyce took out 80 pounds of cash and pushed it to the "Scale", picked up the investigation report, and planned to get up and leave, but was stopped by the latter.

"Mr 'Baron', wait."

"Anything else?"

"Scale" slowly picked up the golden list that exuded an alluring flavor, and reminded:

"That Chloe's bounty hasn't been revoked yet. If you need a channel to collect the bounty on your behalf, you can get a discount based on your relationship with me."

How did he know I was going to kill Chloe? No, it should be said that if it wasn't for a hostile relationship, no one would spend so much money to investigate a same-sex... In addition, the "scale" is a military informant, and may not abide by the rules of the industry to keep secrets for the client... Joyce suddenly woke up, After turning his head, he said:

"I am also entrusted by others. If there is a need, I will come to you."

"Waiting for the driver."

This time, Tian Ping didn't say anything to stop him, but squinted his eyes and watched Joyce leave.

……

As for Charlie, the "Pharmacist" among the three brothers, he slept after returning home.
