Chapter 33: An Unusual Routine
When I woke up again, I heard the sound of rain in my ears, and the sunny weather during this period was still over.
I don't know when it started raining last night, and the temperature plummeted.
"Alas~ In the past few nights, I slept on the bed once, either a desk or a sofa. ”
Pinching his sore neck, Donald was in good spirits, he finally found a way to improve his mental power, and also figured out the key to the Clock Meditation Method.
It's the clock drawing in the center of this scroll!
This picture is not just as simple as a painting, all the lines on this delicate clock are exquisite, and the spiritual power bends and swings with these lines, which itself is a tempering of spiritual power, but the current Donald is too weak to depict only a few strokes, and he can't even draw the outer outline of the clock.
When his own spiritual power is tempered and consumed, and then it is time to condense new spiritual power, the follow-up drawing will be extremely slow, and he still remembers that he didn't know how long it took last night, and he finally added a few centimeters of distance.
Walking into the bathroom, Donald looked at himself in the mirror while washing, his face did not change much, thinking about it, he was just officially a stranger, and it was only an increase in mental power, and it was not a processing of his face, it would be strange if there was a change.
The guns were not left with him, but the scrolls could not be taken out at will, and Donald thought about it and simply locked it in a drawer under his desk.
When I walked out of the bedroom door, I remembered to glance at my pocket watch, 6:30...... Woke up too early.
Donald didn't have the habit of getting back asleep, so he simply went downstairs to buy breakfast outside, bringing back two servings, bread, omelette and hot dogs.
Halfway through eating, I accidentally looked up and found Infinita standing at the kitchen door.
Today she wore a black patterned skirt with lace patterns on the collar and skirt, and the hem did not stretch out like the lady outside, but just let it be.
"How was your sleep last night, are you feeling better?"
Donald didn't know the details of the relationship between his predecessor and Infinita, and from what he expressed in his diary, there should still be some affection, at least until he found out about the relationship between Infinita and Freddie, well, now, not too passionate, but not too cold.
Donald thinks he's innocent, but he's just a boy...... Try your best.
"Much better, have you found a job?"
There was still no emotion on Infinita's face, and her tone was gentle.
"I found a weekly wage...... 5 shillings for work as an assistant to Mr. Sherlock Swift. ”
The weekly salary of 1 gold pound is already the level of the middle class, and it is somewhat impractical for Donald, a religious college student, to find this kind of work, and there is a confidentiality agreement between Donald and Sherlock for the work of translating words, and when he leaves the door of Swift's detective agency, he has to act as if it never happened.
As an assistant, a weekly salary of 5 shillings should be normal.
"Mr. Swift is a scholar of religion?"
Tearing off half of the bread and putting it in her mouth, Infinita glanced at Donald, who was not the same as before.
"No, he's a private detective...... Sorry, I've got to go out, I have to be at the office by 8 o'clock, or I'll be late. ”
Donald didn't want to reveal too much about his work, and the inquiry in Infinita's words made him wary, and it was already 7:10 a.m., so he used this excuse to leave.
Listening to the sound of the door panel rubbing against the door frame, Infinita left the kitchen, looked at the door, made sure it was closed, entered the living room and sat down on the sofa, turned around and moved the lamp next to the sofa to the low table in front of her.
Remove the lampshade, the middle looks like an ordinary kerosene lamp, at this time, Infinita stretched out her finger to press the switch on the bottom layer, pressed it three times in a row, and with a continuous click, the internal gears began to operate, and finally on the right side of the bottom lamp holder, a piece of iron suddenly bulged outward, revealing rows of fine holes and faint lights in it.
"Donald Grant, talent is in a dominant state...... He got a job and was visibly wary of me, and we had 3 months to go. ”
When she stood in the doorway, she noticed that the man's aura had changed, it was an extremely secret change, others might not feel it, but her perception was naturally keen.
Because of this, she was assigned this task.
In addition, in the previous communication, Donald had several pauses in his speech that meant that he was thinking, deliberately withholding some kind of information from himself, which was undoubtedly a sign of vigilance.
"We found out last night that someone was following Donald Grant, those guys from a few years ago are finally no longer dormant, and in this time you have to keep an eye on him and try to find those things as much as you can...... Be careful yourself, and when you are in danger or confusion, don't forget to pray to the moon and our silver lady will help you. ”
The words that came through the sounder on the base of the kerosene lamp rustled with a sound.
"I see, may the moon shine upon us. ”
A circular arc is drawn on the chest, and the silver pendant around the neck shines.
If Donald was present and heard Infineta's report, he would probably be horrified, he thought he was hiding well, but in fact, as an ordinary person in his previous life, his ability in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance was all about groping.
And he is facing an experienced organization, and if he can't even grasp the person who is already in his hands, it will be too much of a failure.
Of course, even if you are an expert, you have areas that you are not good at, and Infinita also has her own limitations, she noticed the changes on Donald's surface, but she did not find that he was hiding deeper things, on the one hand, it was a sudden change in the past two days, and the process of occurrence was too unbelievable, on the other hand, it was also due to Donald's exposure of himself in the conversation.
If you don't want others to know your secrets. Blind concealment is not a foolproof solution, rather than letting the other party get to the bottom of it, it is better to throw out a less important secret for the other party to explore.
This is something that Donald did unintentionally.
At the moment, Donald, who was walking on the side of the street with an umbrella, was also thinking, he was never a conceited person, he always habitually recalled after talking and doing, and after coming to this world, he couldn't see the situation clearly due to the restrictions of the surrounding environment, which made him more cautious.
People always have to be trained to grow, no one is born a master of strategy, learning, experience, trying, these are essential.
Needless to say, Donald is a novice in every way, but a novice only represents a state, not a conclusion.
Stress is also motivation...... Practice makes sense!
