Chapter 128 Rumors stop at the wise
The church's secrecy is too perfect, Chris grumbled to himself, so that he and Elton can't just trade it for a potion recipe.
Just listen to Wayne continue:
"However, if you know the recipe of the potion, you can also directly exchange your GPA for the extraordinary materials you need. β
"Will it be discounted?" Chris thought to himself, could it be half price?
Wayne reached out and gestured a number, and immediately poured cold water on Chris.
It's just a 20% off......
"Wouldn't it cost 10,000 GPAs to get to Sequence 6?" Chris was horrified when he thought about it, he had to complete a thousand cases. Even if there are two cases a week, there are only 102 cases a year.
"Therefore, even if many extraordinary people digest the potions of the sequence, they can't be promoted quickly, after all, the higher the main material, the more scarce it is, even if it is a church, the number of precious extraordinary materials is limited. β
At this time, Elton leaned over and answered:
"Don't worry too much, though, we don't digest potions very quickly, and when you get to Sequence 7, you'll be able to compete for the position of 'Punisher' squad leader.
"And listen to what our boss means, each squad leader's grade points will be doubled, and as for the general team, I heard that merit points are no longer needed. β
"Why is that?" asked Chris.
"Because he's rich. β
Then Elton said with some pride:
"Our 'scholars' are not called for nothing.
"However, because our church has the largest number of extraordinary people in the 'scholars' and 'readers' pathways, there is a shortage of extraordinary materials for the intermediate sequence. β
Wayne shook his head and said, "You're okay, at least the promotion of 'Mechanical Expert' won't be so short of money, and our 'reader' path is fiercely competitive." β
But it's true, thinking of the extraordinary abilities of the "mechanical expert", the magical items in the hands of the corps.
Relying on the sale of magical items and processing fees, there is indeed no shortage of money, and naturally there is no need for merit points that can be used as money.
It wasn't long before Josie, the cook, came in through the door with vegetables and meat, and they stopped talking about the extraordinary.
At six o'clock, Jeffrey returned from the police station, because Bonnie was frightened, so Wayne was alone tonight.
It was only at seven o'clock that James and Bert returned from Hartbury Street to clean up the scene of the disaster caused by Pol.
By this time Bonnie had woken up, so Chris went to the kitchen and made them pea stew and vegetable cream soup.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Chris, who had changed into his pajamas, came out of the bathroom and walked into his bedroom.
First of all, I woke up and saw the message that "myself" wrote to me, but fortunately I already knew the truth, and my ability to resist pressure was okay, otherwise it was likely to get out of control directly.
Then he and James went to Barrot's house to inquire about the situation, only to find that the other party was missing.
Wayne and the others found out at the bank that there was a senior employee who had resigned a month and a half ago, and through the business card left at his previous home, he found out that the murder was actually Barot and John.
Only then did I learn that they had spent two years conducting this horrific experiment. As for why it was not tested on ordinary people, it is not known why.
After reporting these to the team, he thought they could go to the restaurant in the South Side together in the evening, but Bonnie was kidnapped by the premeditated Pol in order to lure them in.
Fortunately, the other party had just been promoted to Sequence 7, and the potion in his body had not yet stabilized. Coupled with arrogance and relying too much on the ability to jump in flames, Chris took advantage of it.
But Pol also lost control in his madness and became a crazy and powerful monster.
At this time, Caroline, who was supposed to be the opposite, came over to kill the runaway Pol, saved them, and even gave him this piece of tainted extraordinary properties.
Aren't they enemies? What kind of is this lady Caroline?
Chris lay in bed and recalled what happened today, and the half hour that disappeared in between, and he didn't know what "he" had done?
And just tonight, Chris dreamed of the silver-white snake again, only this time underneath the snake, there was a golden roulette wheel covered with complex runes.
The golden roulette wheel held the sleeping silver-white snake, quietly suspended in the darkness.
The next morning, after breakfast, James took Chris again to the "Golden Tulip".
After getting the approval of the team, James led Chris into the office, and finally met Wardhouse, who was sitting in a chair with a tired face.
"Captain, where did you go yesterday? We wanted to report to you the outcome of a case. James bent over and laughed.
It's really James's height of 1.9 meters, and if he doesn't bend down, Wardhouse will have to tilt his head and talk to him.
Even if James is naΓ―ve, he will not be without this kind of eyes.
Wardhouse, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, saw the two people in front of him, and said lazily:
"After getting that black feather yesterday, I went to Archbishop Abraham and went with him to Atlantus to report the matter to headquarters. β
Atlantis is the capital of the Republic of Ireland, thousands of miles away from Federenburg, and you ran back and forth so quickly?
Chris was shocked in his heart, the ability of the extraordinary boss was really not understandable for a low-level sequence like theirs.
At the gesture of James's eyes, Chris pulled out the piece of extraordinary properties in his pocket that had been sealed with a spiritual wall.
"This is a piece full of runaway and crazy Sequence 7 extraordinary characteristics. β
Wardhouse opened the box, glanced at the black stone inside, and quickly recognized it, and said in surprise:
"Where did you get that?"
James immediately sold miserably:
"Yesterday there was a fugitive named Pol, the murderer of the homeless missing man, who kidnapped our team member Bonnie, the new 11-year-old girl, and then we had an uphill fight with him......"
"Oh, so you killed an out-of-control Sequence 7?" Wardhouse got his trademark ruffian grin, "and you got out of the way?"
"Yes...... It was the last time Zach and Chris defeated Pol, a mysterious lady who rescued him showed up and killed him, she was supposed to be Pol's accomplice, but she didn't know what didn't deal with us. β
Looking at Wardhouse's increasingly curvy smile, James stiffened his head and said:
"Maybe it's also the jealousy of the church, the unknown lady finally threw the extraordinary properties that Pohl precipitated after his death to Chris. β
And Chris was thinking in his heart that he hadn't told Wardhouse about the last time he met Caroline at the Barbro Hotel on the East End.
Although James knew about it, he didn't know Caroline's identity.
Well, that way it won't be a goof.
"So you've been in contact with the fugitive Pol more than once. Wardhouse looked at the two across from him with a smile, "But how did I hear some gossip that the mysterious lady you call is called Caroline, but my former lover?"
In an instant, not only James trembled in his heart, but Chris broke out in a cold sweat, and said in shock:
The message was just himself, Zach, Paul, and Bert and Bonnie......
Then there was a big head, who leaked this secret news?
And James on the side said to himself, it's none of my business, I don't know anything, I don't know anything......
"And I also heard that the other party is a killer sent by an evil organization, but the fake is really done, and after being pregnant with my child, I abandoned it in chaos, so I held a grudge, and now I have become an extraordinary person in Sequence 5, so I retaliate against the 'Punisher' team......"
Oh my God, Chris wanted to cry without tears, he only told Bert and Bonnie that she was the ex-girlfriend of the main team, and it was only Sequence 6, how did it become Sequence 5 in just a few days?
Wardhouse rubbed the brown stubble on his chin, looked at the two opposite him with a smile in his dark blue eyes, and continued:
"So, a member of such a powerful evil organization, why would she let you go?"
"This ......," James wiped the sweat from his head and snorted, "Maybe she's looking at us too weak......"
"I forgot to tell you something, Zach wrote me a letter last night about the battle a few days ago, don't you think, Chris?"
It's over, Zach actually wrote a letter to the team! Chris howled inwardly.
But also, Zach obviously knew Caroline and Wardhouse, so he would naturally tell him about this important thing, alas, why is he so stupid?
Then Chris looked at Wardhouse with a sneer and said:
"I was going to tell you, but I ...... considering that it concerns your privacy."
"Well, thank you for keeping it a secret. Wardhouse bared a mouthful of white teeth, "But why are there rumors circulating among the other 'Punishers' squads?"
Among them, Wardhouse also specially accentuated syllables in the words secrecy and rumor.
"Haha, you also said that it is a rumor, and someone must be jealous of your ability and handsome appearance to create rumors that smear your image. Rumors stop at the wise, and I believe that no one will believe these rumors. β
Chris had no choice but to pat his ass, and said in his heart, there are only five people involved in this matter. This also includes Bol, Caroline, Zach.
And maybe it's not Paul or himself, Paul's stuffy temperament must not be doubted, is he going to be doomed this time?
Looking at Wardhouse's "evil" smile, Chris really trembled.
In fact, Zach didn't write a letter to Wardhouse at all, but the rumors reached Wardhouse's ears this morning, and then checked the contents of the case that James had handed in before.
