Three years ago.

The Boss didn't equip me with this team of more than a hundred bodyguards, no labs and scientists, and no steel mansions.

I didn't know the strength of the Boss at the time, and rented a small office on Baker Street.

I still remember the day Hunter came to apply.

The glass door was pushed open, and I looked up to see a young man in his early twenties.

With dyed white hair tied in a huge ponytail and a Sherlock Holmes-style cap, he is dressed as a literary youth.

"Literary fan", I secretly labeled it.

Before he could reach me, he fell to the ground with his neck in his hands, spitting blood from his mouth.

I leaned over to check, took out my phone, and was about to call an ambulance, but I smelled a very fragrant tomato sauce, and I knew that the young man was joking.

In his mind, the label of "witty" fell on him.

"Hahaha! Interesting! ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ahh

Listen to me laugh, he ahh

This voice is full of anger, how can it be so weak like the voice of a patient who vomits blood, which proves that he is acting.

"Where did you buy it, it's very fragrant!"

I dipped a drop of "blood" from the corner of his mouth with my fingers, took it to my nose and sniffed it.

"Guess right!"

He quickly got up from the ground and clapped his hands loudly.

"Oh!"

Instead, I was taken aback by his voice, looked at him helplessly, and secretly labeled him as "strong desire to perform".

"Worthy of being a detective in a detective agency! I was so good at acting, I was actually seen through at a glance! My name is Hunter! Nice to meet your new boss! I passed the interview with you! I've decided to work with you! ”

He had such a big string of bald purs out of his mouth.

"Optimistic", I secretly labeled him again.

When you praise others, don't you forget to praise yourself for such good acting skills, isn't it optimistic enough? Indeed, I was also very affected by his emotions, and my mood was cheerful.

praised himself and praised me, to work here? I was gathering this information and was about to say something when I was interrupted by his next move.

He took off the cap from his head and fastened it to my head.

"It's a reward for the boss for new employees!"

He smiled even more smugly.

"Alright! Can you let me speak? ”

After watching him talk endlessly, I found a chance to speak.

He reached out and made a gesture of please.

"First, this isn't a detective agency!"

I stretched out my index finger and made a motion.

Hearing me say this, he was stunned.

Without waiting for me to say anything, I retreated a few steps outside the door and looked up at the signboard at the door.

"'Mystery Investigation Agency', 'Investigation Institute', isn't it a detective agency? Baker Street, Detective Agency, Sherlock Holmes, super cool! ”

He thoughtlessly read the signboard and analyzed it randomly.

"Sherlock Holmes, that's a fictional character from almost two hundred years ago! Baker Street, just because the rent is cheap! ”

I guess he's an avid detective fan, and that's why he came to apply.

"What does the Mystery Investigation Institute do?"

"Investigate the mystery!"

"It's to investigate if aliens exist or something?"

"So to speak!"

"Wow, that's pretty cool too!"

I took off the cap he had put on me and put it on the table, knocking on the corner.

Stretching out two fingers, he continued to say something that was interrupted by him, "Second, you came to apply, I want to interview you, you are my employee, how can any employee interview the boss?" ”

With that, I took the cap off my head and put it on the table, "And this!" What are the rewards for new employees to new bosses? ”

"That's right! I'm so happy with you! ”

He returned to the Tao.

"It always feels weird, don't you think the order is reversed?"

When I saw such a candidate, I couldn't help but laugh. On the one hand, I was infected by his cheerful optimism, and on the other hand, he subverted my normal logic.

"What's the difference? Of course, you are looking for employees to find a good partner, a good friend, not a dog, a donkey, a pony and a camel and let them listen to you. You've just done a great job, I'm very satisfied! I'm willing to stay here and work, boss, you've been accepted by me! Please accept my reward! ”

He said with a head of analysis, and I actually thought it made sense.

"Okay, so be it, I've been accepted by you! How much do you expect me to pay you, new employee? ”

My life was boring, and I really needed an assistant with a cheerful personality like him.

"There was bread to eat, coffee to drink, it was enough! What a salary is not paid! ”

He stuck out his tongue and grimaced, with an attitude of treating money like dung.

I nodded, which was a tantrum with me. I'm a person who doesn't care much about money, and I'm especially disgusted with stingy and calculating people. Since he doesn't expect a salary, I'm sure I won't treat him badly.

Without waiting for me to say anything, he fiddled with the coffee machine in the corner and made his own cup of coffee, as if he were the boss here.

"The ability to adapt to the environment is really fast!"

I laughed awkwardly.

The courier delivered a package.

Hunter asked if I could open it, and I nodded.

He couldn't wait to open the courier, and inside was two bundles of bills.

"What is this?"

He picked up one of the bundles and asked me.

"This is what the boss paid us!"

I glanced at it and saw the markings of the money bundles, which were the exclusive marks of our bosses, and immediately understood.

"Is it the reward for the last case? Tell me what mysterious event you have solved! ”

He asked me in a curious tone.

"It's the reward for the next case! Some are busy! ”

The boss is such a character that he always pays in advance.

I opened the safe and put away one of the two bundles. When he saw that I was taking the money, he handed him the bundle in his hand.

"The bundle is yours!"

I waved my hand and didn't answer.

"I buy bread and I don't need so much coffee!"

He looked at the bundle of money and made a surprised expression.

"Not greedy for money" I put this label on him in my head, and I feel quite comfortable in my heart.

"Don't you say I'm your partner and your friend? Friends should share it, right? ”

The next thing is not necessarily a strange case, it is appropriate to get paid according to work, I am afraid that he will not accept it, I will play the friendship card.

He was embarrassed to put it away.

And so, at the Baker Street Investigation Office, we worked together for more than two years and investigated dozens of mysterious incidents.

His presence gave me a lot of fun, at least not so boring.

I am a very boring person, although I was only 19 years old at the time, but I lived in the body of a person born in 1990, so I will be 65 years old by 2055, how boring a 66-year-old man is, you can imagine.

"What's the fuss? Fascinated by looking at pictures of handsome guys? ”

Chi Qi interrupted my memories.

"Huh?"

I was stunned.

"Looks like you're a gay!"

Seeing me stuck in a memory, she immediately came to a new conclusion.

"You've got a hole in your head, right? Black hole? ”

I was convinced of her ability to associate.

"By the way, who really cursed you?"

She suddenly mentioned the curse.

It seems that Chi Qi's thinking jump is really not to be underestimated.

"I investigated a case related to the curse a year ago, and it has something to do with this guy!"

I could only pick up and point to the picture of Hunter on the wall.

"Tell me about it! See if there are any clues and find out who is harming you! ”

Chi Qi blinked her big blue eyes expectantly.

Rather than helping me find the person who hurt me, I was looking forward to hearing my story.

I began to tell the story of that case about the curse.

A year ago, the Baker Street Survey Office.

Hunter turns on the computer, and the boss's email pops up.

Email text, only one video.

It was a video taken by a man.

In the video, a little girl about ten years old pushes the photographer out of the room.

The little girl called the photographer "Daddy", and it seems that the photographer is the father of the little girl.

A woman follows the photographer and looks like the girl's mother.

The girl locked herself in her room and said that someone was trying to harm her and not to go out.

The camera also turned to the woman who was following the photographer, and she showed the camera various scars on her arms and legs, saying that she had been encountering bad things and all kinds of accidents.

Finally, the photographer turns the camera to himself.

The man said that his family was cursed, and someone was murdering them with mysterious powers, hoping to save them!

"Cursed?"

After watching the video, Hunter looked at me suspiciously.

"We're going to investigate if curses can really hurt people!"

Although there is no text attached to the email, I have insight into the content of the quest posted by the boss.
