Chapter 12: What the Employer Withholds

"Can we talk more about the commission?" said Carnett, calming his tone to ease the man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ahh......h He rubbed his hands together, as if for some reason something awkward.

"......" looked at the door, and Canette looked back again.

It's weird, it doesn't feel right...... Trying to use the Demon Eye to enter the Demon Hunting Vision, Canette looked at the man in front of him and didn't notice anything unusual.

At first, he thought it was the magic mirror that had affected this man. But...... This possibility cannot be ruled out at this time.

Because, it's not impossible for monsters to hide their aura.

Relying only on the Demon Hunting Blood Pupil will not be able to face a tricky situation.

Canette put down his coffee and faced the man, ready to stir up the conversation again: "So, can we start talking?"

"Well, yes. The man's tone was rather annoyed: "I...... I don't know what to say, it's horrible. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to slow down, but please continue. Canette waited quietly for her employer to finish.

To his surprise, the note was rather brief.

Short to unnatural.

The employer only briefly told the story of seeing the two children sucked into the magic mirror, and then didn't talk about anything more.

"That's it?" said Carnett's utter disapproval of the half-explanation, "How about a little more detail." Like when did the kids get sucked in?"

"About ...... It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. The man pondered for a moment.

"It's the middle of the night? After pondering for a while, Canette still couldn't agree with this conversation: "Why are the two children in front of the mirror at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night? It seems that there are rumors everywhere that looking in the mirror at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night will meet ghosts, and normal people generally don't look in the mirror at that time." Is there any reason for the two children to do this?"

"No, that's not really. It's a complete coincidence. The man shook his head.

"No, if it's a coincidence, why are you watching them there?" retorted immediately.

"This ...... It was also a pure accident. I woke up in the middle of the night to drink water and found two children there looking in the mirror and witnessed them being sucked in. The man shook his head, saying that there was no need to talk about it anymore. However, no matter how you look at him, he looks a little nervous.

"......" Canette stared at the man, sensing his mood swings: this guy was hiding something.

In order to confirm this, he turned the Demon Hunter Blood Pupil blue, switched to the mode of the Demon Hunter Blue Pupil, and began to read his thoughts. However, because the other party is strongly disguising his thoughts, the mind reading cannot be successful.

As a result, the blue pupils naturally extinguished. After all, that wasn't the normal state of the Demon Hunting Blood Pupil. Only a special case like Lusha can keep it forever.

Perceiving emotions is not something that can only be used in a blue-eyed state. Blood pupils can also be used.

However, if you don't use it in the blue pupil state, the perception of emotions will eventually be blurred, and you can't perceive it often, otherwise your eyes will hurt.

"So I'd like to ask, where did the mirror come from? Canette pondered for a moment, "And if it's convenient, can you tell me where your wife is?"

It is evident that these two issues are causing some panic among employers. He vaguely wanted to pass the problem, but said that the mirror was given by someone, and his wife went out.

However, Canette became more and more suspicious of him, and finally decided to give it a go.

Everything he secretly guessed was going to be said.

I said. Canette finally opened her mouth, and her expression seemed to be completely casual: "Could it be that the mirror was given by the head of the next village, and your wife was also sucked into the mirror?"

"Ahh......h Ah no, it's not. When he accidentally said something, the employer was startled: "No, he didn't send it...... And my wife just went out. ”

"And when will she come back? I'll have to listen to her before I can decide whether to accept the commission or not, and how much to be paid. Canette looked at her employer quietly, her tone extremely relaxed.

"No! I ...... Just talk to me. The man was flustered.

"The killer's ...... There is a need for absolute mutual trust with the employer. Although the Demon Hunter is not so exaggerated, there are still requirements in this regard. Canette didn't budge: "If you want to save your children and wife, it's better to be honest." Before that, I'm guessing that your wife is afraid that the mirror that only entered these two days, right?"

"I ...... Hey, yes. The employer finally had to admit: "She, she was so worried about the child that she went into the mirror in the middle of the night last night." It wasn't until I found her note and the lock that had fallen in front of that door in the morning that I found out what was going on. ”

Is your daughter-in-law's skills too good or are you sleeping too dead, and you don't even notice that the people sleeping next to you are gone...... Carnett's face was helpless, and he looked at the chained door: this is it.

"So can you ask about the village chief giving you a mirror? Don't deny it at this juncture. Canette pondered for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.

"This ...... There's not much to say about that. "Men still don't seem to be willing to talk about it.

"Yes, but he must have wanted to do something by giving you such a mirror. I don't mean to offend, but ......" Canette picked up her coffee and took another sip, "If you run into any trouble, you'd better talk to the Demon Hunter." This will be resolved as a complete event white. We have a mutual confidentiality agreement with the client and will not tell anyone else what we hear here. ”

But that's not what kept Lucina out. Carnet always felt like he'd tell her sooner or later.

...... As a last resort.

"But...... There's really nothing to say. The client still didn't seem to want to talk about it: "It's just that the village chief gave me the mirror...... That's all. ”

"Didn't he mention that he was going to take it again, or told you about the dangers of mirrors?" Canette thought for a moment, and felt that something was not quite right, "You know, the magic mirror is very troublesome to carry, and it has to be heavily packed to make sure people can't see it." Otherwise, someone will be sucked in at a fixed time. If it's a gift from him, it's impossible not to know what this thing does. ”

The "......" client seems to be more distressed. In the face of Carnett's questioning, he seemed unable to respond.

"Can you tell me what the mirror did in the first place? It had three lives in it, and I had to get the details. Carnett still tried to induce in that unhurried tone.

And the client seems to be finally willing to speak.
