Chapter 35: A Simple Test
Rewind the clock to before Asker and the others set off.
Mier, Mia, and Medea arrived at the ground floor of Licini's Hall at the time agreed with Rasul, but no one was found.
"Could it be that because Medea and you are here, Master avoids us and doesn't want to meet?!" Mia said in shock.
"How is that possible!" Medea rolled her eyes, "Is the old lady that terrible?" ”
"It's not a terrible question." Mi'er guessed, "Maybe it's just that he doesn't want to meet you." ”
"But according to you, since he can foresee the future, he should know that I have no ill will towards him." Medea frowned.
She looked around carefully through her psychic vision, and there was no one in the hall except for the doorman and staff.
The doorman soon noticed that the red-haired woman was looking at him, and cast a puzzled look.
Being stared at by a strange man, Medea quickly became furious and turned her head unnaturally.
However, the doorman still stared at her directly, as if noticing something unusual, and the staff around him also looked at her.
Stare at.
Being watched by so many people at the same time for a long time, even the largest Mia sensed that something was wrong, looked around vigilantly, and held the weapon attached to the inside of the hem with her right hand.
"I see." Medea looked at these people and sneered, "He's already here." ”
"What's coming?" Mi'er asked nervously.
"The puppets he manipulated." Medea said, "What a bold man, so that he is not afraid of being discovered by the Holy See?" ”
"Master said before that he has a way to hide it from the Holy See." Mia said.
"Not necessarily." Medea sneered, "If he can stir up trouble openly under the nose of the Holy See and not be discovered, then why doesn't he go to plant a nuclear bomb under the Lateran Palace?" Do you need to go to great lengths to train you? ”
After staring at the people around her for a while, Medea nodded and walked towards the door: "I understand." ”
"What do you understand?" Mi'er and Mia hurriedly chased after her.
"This is a test to see if I have the qualifications to contact him." Medea said without looking back, "And these people who he manipulated and sent to our attention are the riddles of the riddle." ”
"I just read the minds of these people. There were 13 people in the hall: 2 doormen, 2 doormen, 2 tellers, 4 cleaners, and 3 security guards, all of whom had a back door planted in their minds, and floated in the most superficial part of their minds, apparently planted not long ago and deliberately discovered by me. ”
The only thing they have in common in their memories is that they once walked into a restaurant around the corner. Located at the crossroads west of the street where the Licinius Building is located, this restaurant serves both breakfast and lunch and is a regular place for employees. ”
When she came to the restaurant, Medea took Mia and Mi'er into the store, came to the checkout counter, and accosted the waitress standing next to her:
"You're close to the Licinius Mansion here?"
"Yes." The waitress smiled and said, "You're an employee there?" ”
"It's not." Medea smiled slightly, "I'm a guest. ”
"Forget it, sister." The waitress looked at her with a "don't I know yet" look, "The Licinius Mansion has its own luxurious restaurant, but it is only for guests, and only their employees come to eat with us. ”
"Aside from the staff of the Licinius Building, do you have many other guests coming to eat?" Medea continued.
"Well, you see, I'm actually busy......" The waitress's gaze wandered over Mi'er and Mia behind her.
"Two ice cream cones." Medea pulled out the bill, "More is a tip for you." ”
"Yes, guest." The waitress smiled sweetly, tucked the bill into her chest, and then went to the ice cream machine by the counter, made two ice cream cones, handed them to Miel and Mia, and patted them on the head in a friendly way.
"Actually, it's basically your employees who come here." The waitress proudly said, "Although the quality of our food is not as good as Licinius's kitchen, it is also of the highest grade in Solomon City, and only the employees of Licinius Mansion can afford our prices." ”
"Understood." Medea looked at the job posting on the wall and asked, "Do you still hire checkout tellers here?" ”
"Hmm." The waitress said, "Daniel resigned this morning, so the boss plans to hire a new one." ”
"I guess he only did it for half a day." Medea said.
"How do you know?" The waitress said in surprise, "He applied for the job yesterday afternoon, but he resigned at noon today." ”
"Because his purpose has been achieved." Medea patted her on the shoulder, the corners of her mouth curled, "Be safe, sister." ”
The waitress was inexplicably surprised by her, and suddenly felt nausea and vomiting from her stomach, and then as if she remembered something, she hurried away with a pale face.
Medea left the restaurant with the two little girls, and Mi'er couldn't help but say:
"Medea, you really hold a grudge. Just because she asked you for a bribe, you used your mental hints to make her mistakenly think that she was unexpectedly pregnant? ”
"Is my mother's money so easy to extort?" Medea snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, the answer is this Daniel, he planted a thought back door for those employees when he checked out the bill this morning and manipulated them to appear in front of us. ”
"Do you have any clues about this Daniel?"
"Clues? Didn't you just read your mind? Mi'er asked.
"Read." Medea replied, "That guy named Daniel has disguised his appearance, and there is nothing worth noting. The only possible clue was the resume he had sent in, but the stupid waitress had forgotten where to put it. ”
"Resume?" Mia, who was eating ice cream, took out a piece of paper from the bag, "You mean this." ”
"Where did it come from?" Medea took the resume in surprise.
"I saw it through the crack under the counter." Mia said, "I picked it up." ”
"Uh-huh." Medea read her resume carefully, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "This guy's employment resume actually says that he used to be a suit tailor, and he also gave a detailed address - no more obvious hint." ”
"Suit tailor?" Mia and Mia looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that the last time they met Rasul was in a suit shop.
Is it a hint?
followed Medea to the designated address, and sure enough, it was a street corner suit shop, but the words "closed today" were hung on the door.
Medea went over and pushed, but the door was unlocked.
Pushing the door in, the three girls saw Rasul sitting behind the counter, smiling at everyone.
"This is the secret branch of your Assassin Order?" Medea closed the door and asked tentatively, pretending to be a casual chatter.
"Not really." "It's just the shop of an old friend of mine, who went on vacation in Sardinia and I came over to watch it for him." ”
"And what should I call you?" Medea narrowed her eyes, "Mentor Assassin? Mia's Master? ”
"Or the Antichrist?"
"Just call them by their first names." Rasul replied, gesturing to the chair next to the counter, "Sit?" ”
"Nope." Medea refused, "You know why. ”
"Androphobia." Rasul tapped on the table, "What an embarrassing mental illness, especially for a succubus." ”
"It's better than antisocial personality disorder." Medea sneered, "You were the one who secretly influenced Emperor Otto's mind and prompted him to attack the Holy See, right?" ”
