Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"What does this mean?" Joyce asked coldly.

Tian Ping took the initiative to take off his hood and mask: "Mr. Baron, long time no see."

He clearly changed his voice on purpose, and also deliberately raised it by a few centimeters. How could he be so sure... Joyce asked rhetorically:

"How do you know it was me?"

"I have a strong talent for distinguishing different people."

"Tian Ping" said with a smile, as if to greet a good friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time:

"There is no need to hide between us. Are you satisfied with the information I gave you last time?"

"The ability of the Beyonder? Arbiter?"

Joyce thought curiously, slowly taking off the disguise on his body, and at the same time his brain was racing, why did he suddenly ask this? After sales investigation? Is he asking, or is the person behind him asking?

Chloe was already dead, and it was even exchanged for a bounty... Well, maybe he learned about Chloe's death through this channel, so he suspected it was me?

Thanks to me sending Dean to deal with the corpse in time, and after the time limit, the psychic will be fruitless, so I'm safe... As for the "scales" and the people behind it, it's not worth it at all so far trust.

After thinking about it carefully, he thought up his words, and there was an inconspicuous sarcasm on the corner of his mouth:

"Oh, your report looks very bluffing, but she... When I sent someone to visit, I found that 52 Pritzker Street is uninhabited at all."

she? Who is she?

"Scales" keenly captured the wording changes in Joyce's words, as if discovering a new world. This is the agent's instinct, but in fact, this "she" is just Joyce pretending to be suspicious.

"How is it possible, my investigation is guaranteed to be true."

"Tian Ping" pretended to be exaggerating, and tentatively said: "She went to visit one day, maybe Chloe just happened to be away!"

Joyce didn't care, and replied casually:

"The day after I got the report, as for what happened by chance, my people are not as unreliable as your report."

Ignoring Joyce's innuendo, the question "Scales" thought was: The next day? When I sneaked in that night, I found traces of the battle in the living room, and Chloe's bounty was taken on the third day...

The time is right, just looking at the angry expression of the baron, it seems that he really does not know, is he really just a messenger? The "she" in the mouth is the real one?

Noticing that Joyce was already showing signs of impatience, Tian Ping didn't ask any further questions, instead he smiled and said:

"Get some inspiration from your transaction with that female member just now."

He just said this to hide his urgency: "If I can get the two materials you want in advance, wouldn't it be better to deal face-to-face!"

"The sooner you prepare the materials, the sooner you can become a Beyonder, right?"

"That's not bad." Joyce muttered, and after a brief thought, he said:

"I don't have time in the past few days, but you should know my address, so please send someone to send it there."

After he finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving Tian Ping to stay in place silently.

After exiting the door of the bar, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly: Acting is so **** tiring!

His language and behavior habits just now were all imitating the "Joyce" before the time-travel. The purpose is to mold himself into a naive and stupid young nobleman, serving a mysterious person, so as to obtain the potion formula. As for the deeper story Not at all.

If the "scales" and the people behind them are friends, then no matter what I say, there is no danger, and if they are enemies, let them who have great powers check it out. It's better to find Emily and fight A lose-lose, let me exit calmly.

This kind of jumping in the minefield and surviving in the cracks is very difficult. I always worry about whether I will accidentally fall into the abyss and shatter my bones.

Since the time of crossing, he seems to be surrounded by several whirlpools, and he is helplessly forced to follow the current.

……

What Joyce didn't know was that his performance was very successful and had the desired effect.

The report submitted by the "balance" reads:

"Joyce Best has obtained the potion formula from other sources, and is currently looking for materials: a pair of adult manhal fish eyes, and fifty milliliters of blood from a black fish with horns."

"The information on the pirate Clow that he commissioned to investigate last time was not voluntary, but was controlled by a mysterious figure. At present, only the gender of the mysterious figure is known to be female. This judgment came from a slip of the tongue by Joyce, and the authenticity is open to question. "

"It is suspected that there is a connection between the above two."

"Joyce is still acquiring the Quaternary Antiquities for unknown reasons, even at a large premium. In addition, he lacks basic knowledge of mysticism and is seeking to make up for it."

"Finally, he seems to have begun to doubt me."

The "balance" sealed the report and sent it secretly as usual, suddenly realizing that he didn't even understand the purpose of doing so, on the one hand, to monitor Joyce's needs and behavior, and on the other hand to help him. This kind of balance is difficult to grasp... Maybe he is no different from Joyce, both are pawns on the bright side.

The report passed through layers and was finally sent to the MI9 headquarters building the next morning. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

By convention, the report of the informant "Scale" will be sent to Thomas, who will then filter out important information and pass it on to his boss.

However, this report did not pass through Thomas's hands... This is something he learned only when he was called into the office by the superior the next morning.

"Joyce Best got the potion formula through other channels, do you know this?"

Hearing Scarface's question, Thomas's first thought was that the information about the School of Life he had consulted was exactly in line with what Joyce said.

According to Joyce, this knowledge was learned from a notebook left by his father, so it is not surprising that the potion formula is recorded in the notebook.

Thomas seemed to recall seriously for a moment before replying:

"I don't know, sir, maybe he happened to join an extraordinary party, which is very common in Bayam."

"Well, yes, this also saves us wasting time." The Scarface Chief said in agreement:

"You have a good relationship with Joyce. Young people should communicate more, especially for a new Beyonder, you can provide him with more help."

Thomas thought to himself that it was not necessarily who helped whom, and promised:

"I see, sir."

The Scar-faced officer nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "Go to work."

"There is news from East Balam that the members of the Rose School of thought who were being hunted have escaped to our site. The two sides have to cooperate in handling the case, so they may be busy recently."

"Yes, sir."

After Thomas left, Scarface held the piece of information and muttered to himself:

"Audience channel, mysterious figure suspected of being a woman, Psychological Alchemy Society?"
