Half a month later, Clinton Manor.

The Curlington family started out in animal husbandry, and the owner of the estate at this time was Lux Clinton, a madly obsessed with aristocratic etiquette.

He likes gorgeous clothes, fine food, and grand banquets in the manor, and holds strict standards for himself and the servants around him, as if hoping to wash off the nouveau riche in this way and squeeze into the upper class of the Federation in one fell swoop.

But just half a year ago, Lux ran into trouble.

An evil spirit that existed in a dream found him, and according to him, in the nightmare, there was always an evil spirit chasing him, making it impossible for him to sleep.

Of course, that's all there is to it.

No matter what doctor he sees, he can't get rid of it.

This situation lasted until three months ago, when there was a bloody case in the manor, and the victims were not people, but animals!

From the gardener's cat, to the janitor's hound, and finally Lux's beloved horse.

As the situation became more and more serious, the rich man offered a bounty.

Unfortunately, the nightmare situation has not been resolved to this day.

The evil spirit in the dream is very cunning, and even if there are strange people who can scare it away, when the other party leaves, it will definitely come back.

A few times before, this was the case.

Even the local bishop of the Church of the Goddess of Light didn't have a good idea of what to do about it.

After all, he had more important things to do, he couldn't possibly be Lux's bodyguard here, and the evil spirit seemed to be restrained - not even a single person had been killed so far, and it wouldn't spread, so it wasn't too harmful.

Slowly reflecting on the information gathered, Sulu came to Clinton Manor.

"Hello, may I ask who is?"

A valet came out to greet him and asked politely.

"Sean, a private investigator, has an appointment!"

Sulu reveals his new identity.

He didn't have the guts of Rhodes to impersonate a federal law enforcement officer.

However, the identity of a private detective is enough.

[Occultist] coupled with the ability of psychic invasion, makes his disguise seamless, and in the archives, there is indeed such a person.

"It's Mr. Otto, please!"

The manservant, apparently hearing the name, invited Sulu into the manor and into a living room.

After a short while, a silver-haired, slightly depressed butler came over and politely invited Sulu to sit down and taste the afternoon tea with the characteristics of Congoni.

It can be seen that their movements have been specially trained, and the black tea and desserts are also very exquisite.

This Lux really knows how to enjoy it.

Su Lu sighed secretly, and the butler's voice came from his ears:

"The host is meeting a guest, please wait."

"No problem."

Sulu ate his snacks, looked at the exquisite decorations and antiques around him, and watched the changes in his attributes by the way:

"Well, the spirit has been increased to 5.1, but the physique has been reduced to 1.8, and the effect of the vicious medicine is still very strong, and there is no superimposed drug resistance, but ...... It's a bait! ”

Although there is no weakening of the effect caused by drug resistance, Sulu knows very well that once repeated in large quantities in a short period of time, it will cause the spiritual pollution to skyrocket to an irreparable point, and the outcome must be very miserable!

Perhaps, this is a forbidden area that even many [witch doctors] don't understand!

Fortunately, he remembered the reminder in the attribute bar, and during this time, he carefully used the vicious potion to impact the spiritual power and break through the 5.0 mark of the spirit.

Also, try to space out the time to minimize contamination.

By now, the conditions for promotion to third-order [thaumaturist] have been completely met, but it's a pity......

'Inexperienced...... To be promoted to the third order [thaumaturist], you need 1000 experience points, but ...... Even if I can be promoted, I have to press it, but I must maintain the ability to be promoted at any time, and at the critical moment, I may be able to pit Beatrice......

As for the resulting decline in physique, Sulu felt that it was quite worth it.

It's just that after taking it three times, the concentration of mental pollution has reached a critical level, and it can no longer be increased with vicious drugs for a long time...... Unless I want to be crazy! ’

It is precisely because of this state, after preparing all the means, that Sulu began to look for the traces of the 'Face Grabber'.

"The 'face-snatcher' is a second-class person, and with my ability, I am not afraid of it at all...... This is a great opportunity to gain material and experience. ”

Of course, Sulu will not follow the crowd, he is vigilant in his heart, and has already found out some information.

At least, the evil spirits in this manor don't seem to be the type to kill.

After half a year, no one was killed, and the danger was indeed very low.

Even if it's not a face-snatcher, it's worth coming for the sake of experience.

"Enough! I said it...... That's not my hallucination, I need protection! More protection! ”

Just then, a group of people appeared from the second floor.

Sulu looked over and saw that the leader was a very tired and irritable old white man.

He wasn't too old, but the long-term torture made his hair gray, his eyes were deep-set, and he had thick bags under his eyes, and he knew that he hadn't rested for a long time.

"Those federal officials...... I pay so much money in taxes every year, and what is the result? When it's time for danger, who will protect me? There is also the Church of the Goddess of Light...... I donated so much that I only sent a bishop to take care of it for half a month......"

Lux grumbled, looking at the butler.

"Master, this is your private detective!"

The butler immediately stepped forward and introduced Sulu to Lux.

"You're Shaun?"

Lux's critical gaze turned to Sulu, "You know what I'm asking for!" ”

Behind him, there were several bodyguards and private investigators, apparently employing more than one person.

"I know...... Powerful enough! ”

Sulu smiled, accentuating syllables on the words that followed.

"Yes, protect me as the first priority, it's best to find that evil spirit and deal with it!"

Lux calmed down, lit his cigar, took a deep puff, and his spirit recovered slightly, full of the air of a successful businessman: "Sorry...... I had a nervous breakdown before. ”

"It's okay!"

Sulu politely said no problem.

"So...... Coming back to our question, how do you prove that you are strong? ”

Lux asked in a deep voice.

"If you have to......"

As soon as Sulu's voice fell, the whole person flashed, and he came to Lux, with his right hand in the rung, threw out a bodyguard, grabbed it with his left hand, took the firearm in the hand of another female detective, and returned to sit down.

It all happened so quickly that by the time the other bodyguards reacted, Sulu was already playing with his guns.

"Stop!"

Lux stopped the others, and his eyes lit up: "Not bad...... You've been accepted and signed a contract with my butler for the same salary as promised. ”
