But instead of drifting into the distance, the smoke pointed at the fragments of clothes on the ground.

Detective Kebei shook his head and put the box away: "This is the incense I extracted from the body of a mysterious sea fish, male and female, male and green, attracting each other. I can use the green perfume to track down Yoni by splashing the red perfume on Yoni's clothes in the bar. Now that the clothes are gone, the perfume is useless. ”

Since it can't be traced, there's no need to stay here.

The trio quickly left.

……

By the time they returned to the Trimu Detective Agency, it was past midnight.

Mars took out the key to open the door, and when the two entered, he closed the door immediately.

Soon, the three of them were seated separately in Mars's office.

Mars and Detective Cobe breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they were the rest of their lives.

Corbe: "President, I said I couldn't accept this commission, but you have to accept it, and if we hadn't happened to meet Sir Ganon tonight, we would both be finished." ”

Mars opened the drawer and said, "But we're not done, are we?" ”

Kebei: "You're consequential!" ”

Mars ignored him, but took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to Su Xian: "Mark, this is the details of the commission you want." ”

Su Xian took the document bag, slowly unwrapped the coil, and took out the documents inside to take a closer look.

The commission had just been signed, and the client was a wealthy businessman named Aiden.

Aiden deals in seafood in Brut, but he is not a first-hand merchant who catches fish directly from the sea, but a second-hand dealer who ships seafood to the mainland market for sale.

As a second-hand trader, Aiden had to buy fish wholesale from fishermen or fishing companies, but one day, he noticed that a fish on the market had suddenly disappeared!

The fish called "forktooth snapper" has a special role, and he has always held several fixed sales channels in his hands, and has made a lot of money from it.

Not long ago, he even signed several large orders, and if he could no longer buy "fork tooth seabream", he would have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

This, of course, is unacceptable to him.

The city of Brut is mixed, and Aiden has no power in the local area, so he does not dare to investigate at will, so he finds the three-eyed detective agency that has recently become famous, and entrusts Mars to investigate it.

On the surface, this seems to be just an ordinary commission to investigate the "mystery of the disappearance of the forktooth bream", but Mars and Detective Cobei have been in the city of Brut for so long, and of course they cannot be fooled by this appearance.

Although the market for "fork bream" is not large, the power that can monopolize it all must not be underestimated.

What's more, the "forktooth snapper", also known as the "hallucinogenic fish", itself is a poisonous fish with a strong hallucinogenic effect, and the people who will use this poisonous fish are certainly not ordinary people.

After learning the content of the commission, Kebei immediately proposed to refuse.

But Mars chose to accept Aiden's commission!

After that, Mars and Detective Cobe launched an investigation together.

They first found the fisherman who often fished for "forked tooth bream", then followed the fisherman to find the merchant who bought the "forktooth snapper" at a high price, and then used the merchant as a clue to find the instigator behind the scenes, that is, Yoni of the Skull Gang!

……

After reading the content of the commission, Su Xian put the document back into his pocket and asked, "That's all the reason why you're tracking Yoni?" ”

Mars nodded, "That's right. ”

Su Xian returned the document bag to him: "I suggest that this matter ends here, what do you think?" ”

Mars: "But ......"

Su Xian: "It's nothing. Now that you know that the Skull Gang is buying the fork bream, you can tell the client Aiden about the result. You're only being asked to investigate, but there's no need to help him solve the problem. ”

Kebei immediately said, "Yes, president. We should have completed the commission by now, and I don't want to face that monster again! ”

Mars: "......"

Su Xian: "I know you're desperate to get in touch with this kind of event right now, but that won't bring you closer to her. When you calm down, think about it again. ”

Before the words fell, Su Xian glanced at Detective Kebei, and then stood up.

"It's not too early, it's time for me to go back."

……

After that, he really didn't stay in the three-eye detective agency for long.

The cause of this incident is the commission of the merchant Aiden, but if you go any further, it will definitely involve what Yoni calls "Death".

Although Su Xian didn't think that the "Grim Reaper" was really the Grim Reaper, whether it was true or not, it was not something that Mars could touch now.

"Forktooth snapper, hallucinogenic fish, Skeleton Gang, Yoni, messenger of death...... And, Andrey? ”

These factors are intertwined, what is the result?

He was curious, but did not rush to go deeper.

……

When he returned to the store, he washed and changed his clothes, then entered the secret room, and continued to try the "Magic Transformation Method".

After studying it these days, he already has a relatively in-depth understanding of this "Magic Transformation Method".

If it weren't for the scarcity of magical elements in the air, he might have managed to build his first magic bridge and become an official spellcaster.

But even then, he has already begun his first attempts.

Transform "Magical Elements" into "Mana".

It's not that hard to get this unexpected.

It's just that the rate at which "magic elements" are collected is ridiculously low!

In order to increase this rate, he also took out the "Bryn's Staff" and used the staff's ability to absorb magical elements on its own to attract the surrounding magical elements.

But efficiency gains are still limited.

Fortunately, all he needed was enough magic power to build a magic bridge, which wasn't much.

With another two or three days of accumulation, you should be able to start trying to build the magic bridge.

……

Early the next morning.

Su Xian wore "gravity boots", first completed the task of running in the morning, and then cooked by himself, making himself a simple but not simple breakfast.

The breakfast was plentiful, it just wasn't delicious......

For the rest of the day, he spent the whole day in the secret room practicing the "Magic Transformation Method".

Alice's business, the Joker's business, the masquerade's business, Lily's business, the puppeteer's business, the third parchment's business, the Skull Gang's business...... and the matter of calling himself the "Messenger of Death" was temporarily left behind by him.

During this time, Professor Buck visited the store once, and he told him about the Skull Gang and the Grim Reaper, but did not talk to him for long.

And then another day, another day.

In the blink of an eye, the calendar has flipped to August 8.

At noon on this day, the clouds suddenly expelled the bright sun, the torrential rain poured down, and the thunder resounded in the sky.

Su Xian did not change his plan because of this sudden thunderstorm.

After a hearty lunch with mixed flavors, he recuperated for another hour before starting his first attempt to "build a magic bridge" in the secret room.

The sound of wind, rain, and thunder are all shielded.

It's a matter of success or failure!

Once this attempt fails, the next step is to start building up mana again, and the next attempt will be five or six days away.

But there is no reason to fail.

Whether it is magic or spiritual power, he has been fully prepared, and the "Spiritual Meditation Method" also records in detail all the steps of "building a magic bridge".

As long as you do it step by step, you shouldn't fail.

The point is not to be impatient!

No matter how noisy it was outside, the secret room was as quiet as ever, just like his state of mind at the moment.

According to the description of the "Spiritual Meditation Method", he was guided by the magic power accumulated day by day, and the spiritual power was restrained.

Finally, a "magic bridge" was built in the brain that did not exist in the human body!

When the "Magic Bridge" was completed, the magical elements that originally only existed in the "imagination" appeared in the "field of vision" very realistically!

The caster refers to this ability to see magical elements as "magic vision".

Just like the ability to see the ghosts of spirits, it is called "spiritual vision".

Every official beginner spellcaster is free to turn on "Magic Vision".

However, the duration of the "magic vision", as well as the depth and breadth of the elemental world that can be seen, are all closely related to one's own spiritual power and the strength of one's magic power.

After a short "seeing", Su Xian quickly closed his eyes and turned off the "magic vision".

Suddenly, the rare magical elements that were distributed in the air like impurities disappeared.

Vision returned to normal.

He exhaled, overjoyed.

……

The successful construction of the "Magic Bridge" means that you will be able to practice the "Spiritual Meditation Method" in the next step and steadily improve your spiritual power.

If you have some leisure and elegance, you can also take the time to learn the "fireball technique".

Once you've mastered the Fireball Technique, you'll be able to destroy corpses even more easily in the future!

……

In short, throughout the day, he was immersed in the "spiritual meditation method".

……

August 9, morning.

The joy of being an official caster finally subsided.

Su Xian woke up from his sleep, and the light, which was too dim than usual, drove him to reach out and touch the head of the bed.

The cold touch between his hands made him clearly recognize that it was a pocket watch.

Holding the pocket watch in front of his eyes, he opened his eyes and looked at the dial, where the shorter, thicker hand did indeed point to the sixth large scale.

"It's six o'clock, why is it still so dark?"

With a vague thought in his mind, Su Xian got out of bed and walked to the bedroom window.

The thunderstorm that had been falling all day yesterday finally stopped, and the sound of rain could no longer be heard from outside.

But the sky that should have been sunny was still shrouded in clouds.

He lifted the curtains and looked out.

Suddenly, a thick gray mist came into view.

He rubbed his eyes at the time, thinking that he had turned on his magic vision, and a large number of magical elements gathered in front of him.

But it's not, it's just fog, that's it.

"Is it foggy?"

Without paying too much attention to it, Su Xian closed the curtains again and picked out clothes from the wardrobe.

Today is Tuesday, and he is going to go to the academy to have a look, and it is time to relax after success.

In recent days, he had almost forgotten the fact that he was still a student.

The boring student life has become a reward, and the ordinary is sometimes really precious.

Changing into a school outfit, straddle on his shoulder bag, put on his gravity boots, and adjust the gravity multiplier to "3" by the way, he walked out of the store and turned and walked towards Billy's restaurant.

Since it's a reward day, of course, you have to eat a normal meal, but you can't forget the taste of normal food......

The fog outside was thick and visibility was ridiculously low.

Not to mention carriages, even if people are moving opposite each other, they are likely to collide with each other.

Everyone walks in this fog with extreme caution.

Everywhere there were voices complaining that the fog was too thick.

Su Xian searched his memories and confirmed that Mark had never encountered such a thick fog in the past few years when he was attending school in Brut City.

He frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition.

There were so many people in the restaurant this morning, as if people had deliberately reduced the amount of time they spent walking outside, and they gathered in various stores.

Su Xian sat down in his old seat and ordered a steak set from the waiter, this time the steak was medium-rare.

After staying in this world for a long time, he finally succumbed to his sense of taste and passively changed his eating habits.

"Sir, may you let me sit down here?"

A middle-aged lady who was a little fat came over and asked,

"Absolutely." Su Xian smiled, "Good morning, ma'am." ”

"Good morning, sir, too."

The middle-aged lady took off her fog-soaked hat and sat down opposite Su Xian.

The number of guests at this restaurant is small enough to be table-shared, but this morning was clearly an exception.

Su Xian took down the latest date of the newspaper from the shelf and spread it out to read it carefully.

Eight days have passed since the cruise incident, but the newspaper coverage continues.

Wanted notices for "Pale Clowns" and "Hooded Monsters" have been posted all over the city.

A large number of cases of missing persons took this as an opportunity to suddenly erupt.

Many cases of disappearances that would otherwise go unnoticed have also made the front row of the newspapers.

There are also many people who have taken the opportunity to blame cruise ships for some of the disappearances.

Even the "mysterious disappearance case" wall cannibalism incident, which caused a lot of panic before, has been connected in series.

Among them, the incident of "giant rats frequently appearing, and many people being bitten and sent to the hospital" is almost ignored.

……

After eating breakfast, Su Xian stood at the door of the restaurant, looking at the dense fog that still showed no signs of dissipation, and almost thought that he had returned to the original smog country.

A few student-like figures walked out of the cafeteria, stepped into the fog, and cautiously felt in the direction of the academy.

He pushed the door open, stepping into the fog.

But after that, he suddenly changed his mind and instead of going to the academy, he turned around and returned to the Rare Treasure Antiquities Shop.

"Forget it, ordinary is not for me."

Take off your shoulder bag, change back into casual clothes, and stop talking about going to school.

"When the fog clears, find a way to go to the Skeleton Gang to get to the bottom of it."

"And the maritime smuggler Corondo Webster, it's almost time to go to him."

After that, he calmed down and continued to practice the "Spiritual Meditation Method".

……

But the fog has not dissipated.
