The Whispering Verses Chapter 166: Blackstone Security Company


Old John observed Shade’s expression:

"This is really good stuff. If it weren't for the fact that you were introduced by Louisa and the others, I wouldn't have proposed this deal."

Xia De was very emotional inside, but calm on the outside:

"So what's the cost? Or what about the side effects? Isn't it just that the ash water tastes bad?"

"Side effects? Oh, it's nothing actually."

Old John said it lightly:

"It's just a strong mental pollution. The stronger the brand's extraordinary ability, the stronger the pollution encountered when drinking water, but if you get through it at that time, there won't be any big problem. Detective, how about it? Change? ”

What Shade is not afraid of most is mental pollution. In the afterglow state of divinity, he can even face the saint directly. The pollution characteristics of relics are definitely not as good as those of real gods.

"Although [Witch's Carbon Paper] is very good, it is obviously worth more to me. Immortality comes with a price, but it is also immortality."

Xia De knocked on the counter table.

"Of course not one for one. Two pieces of carbon paper, exchange for one of your finger bones."

The old man had a smile on his face, and he believed that Shade would not refuse.

"Okay, let me think about it again."

"What else are you thinking about? Do you still want to add money? Oh, young man, I really won't make you money this time."

"No, no, no."

Xia De shook his head:

"This thing is not my own. If I choose to exchange it, but the other party doesn't want [Witch's carbon paper], where can I pay the four-digit gold pound compensation?"

He took out the wallet in his pocket, paid for the time key first, and put the exquisite wooden box back into his pocket.

"Then please reply to me as soon as possible. My business here is very good and I can't keep you for too long."

"I'll be back in an hour."

Shad said, Old John waved to him and picked up the newspaper beside him in boredom:

"As soon as possible. If you want to get commission, you can introduce me to your friends. Old John's Pawn Shop has everything!"

He still doesn't forget to promote his business.

"Do you also do business with the Zhengshen Church?"

"If I don't do this, I won't do any business related to the Zhengshen 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 once again paid for a carriage and went to the address left by Miss Bayas last night.

As expected, on Monday morning, Miss Bayas, who had a legitimate job, was not at home. After Shade knocked on the door, the landlady who opened the door looked at him with a thief-proof eye and refused to reveal where Miss Bayas had gone.

But if you think about it, you know that if there was no mission, Miss Bayas would definitely be at the Blackstone Security Company's stronghold. Shade knew the address of the security company. He was concerned about whether it was appropriate for him, as a correspondence magician, to directly break into the stronghold of the Zhengshen Church.

"But since I will definitely be involved in a deeper relationship with Miss Bayas in the future, it is impossible not to get close to that security company. Anyway, it is just a matter of sooner or later..."

He checked what he was carrying and hid the [Spear of Kindness], [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] and [Remains of the Inferi] in places where they could not be directly seen, and then walked towards Blackstone Security Company... It's only half an hour's walk from Miss Bayas's rented apartment, and Shade won't pay for the carriage ride again.

The location of Blackstone Security Company is in the area between the North City District and the West City District of Tobesk. The security company occupies an entire three-story building with a signboard outside.

The business carried out here overlaps with Shade's detective agency, but the security company is just used by the ring warlock team to hide their identity, so it generally does not accept commissions from ordinary people unless they do not have any tasks at the time.

Xia De walked to this street called Neuschwanstein Street. Looking at the towering buildings and the hurried pedestrians, he knew that this street was a famous business street in the West District of Tobesk, where large factories service Businessmen from all over the world and those engaged in transnational business are all gathered here.

The small building of 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 headquarters of the "Good Taste Aquatic Products United Company" in Lengshuigang City. Tobesk Office.

Both buildings are very impressive, but the small building in between is a bit inconspicuous.

After Xia De raised his head to confirm that the house number was correct, he walked into the slightly narrow door on the first floor.

Opposite the door on the first floor is the reception area. A middle-aged woman in uniform was knitting in front of a magazine. There was a white cat lying next to the knitting basket. At least at first glance, this is a very ordinary security company.

Seeing someone coming, the lying white cat looked at Shade curiously, while the middle-aged woman hurriedly put down her work:

"Sir, what can I do? Do you need to entrust me?"

"Circle Warlock?"

He asked in his mind.

[Yes, but not strong. 】

"No, I'm looking for Miss Iluna Bayas."

He said simply, not feeling nervous at all, but he stopped at the door and did not intend to continue walking inside:

"I am the detective of St. Teresa Square. She went to my place last week to investigate some matters. Before leaving, she said that if there are any details that need to be added, she can come here to see her."

The middle-aged woman looked him up and down:

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

Then he hurriedly walked inside the building and heard the sound of someone going upstairs. The white cat, which had been eyeing the ball of wool, stood up, jumped to Shade's footsteps, circled around his feet, and rubbed his trouser legs with its body.

"Huh? It seems that since I came to this world, I have always been so popular with cats. Why is that?"

Thinking in his mind, he knelt down and patted the white cat on the back. The latter made a pleasant "meow" sound.

"It's really rare. The cats we raise here are usually very aggressive towards strangers."

Hearing Miss Bayas's voice, Shade stood up. Unexpectedly, the white cat stood up straight on its hind legs, as if it wanted Shade to hold it.

Miss Bayas and the middle-aged female receptionist both laughed, and Shade could only pick up the cat, which was at least twice the size of Mia. It seemed to like Shade quite a bit.

Probably because Shade was welcomed by the "domestic cat" of the security company, and because of Miss Bayas's familiar attitude, the middle-aged female receptionist did not doubt Shade's identity.

Shad hinted that he had something to talk about, and the understanding Miss Bayas led him to the rest room on the first floor that was currently unused. This is where the ring warlocks of the security company rest, and it is a normal office. The area is on the second floor.

"Detective, why did you come to me all of a sudden? We just parted ways ten hours ago. Do you need help with anything?"
