Chapter 0218 - Exorcism (4400 Plus, Four More Subscriptions)
After inspecting the apartment again, Sulu was very satisfied.
Not only is his bedroom large, but he also has a room reserved for servants, so even if he hires a live-in maid, it is not much of a problem.
And, although old, it is cleaned up and the furniture is very comfortable.
"You can see it...... The former tenant was a nice guy with a bit of an artistic ......."
And judging by the absinthe in the flower bed, he may have known a little bit of occultism...... Of course, it could just be a coincidence. ”
Sulu sends Duran and Wood away and begins to check the information they have given.
That's a bounty message from the rich and middle class in Rory City who are suffering from some bizarre events!
He was ready to find a suitable one and then apply for a job.
After all, after giving two months' rent, his pockets were almost empty again.
And ...... It can't be too strong, I don't want to fight hard...... However, the truly terrifying, wide-ranging influence, has long been resolved or blocked by the Church and the Federation, right? ’
The rest of them are just that the other party doesn't look down on them, or they can't die for a while, and they don't rush to deal with them, and the danger is not high.
By completing them, you will not only earn a huge bounty, but you may also be able to touch the city's extraordinary circles.
……
Half a month later.
Rory, inside a villa.
“…… To sum up, Ms. Roshan, the reason why you have been feeling headaches and heart palpitations...... It's not because of any evil spirit, it's just because of the new bed......"
Sulu changed his outfit, wearing a scholar's uniform and glasses, and looked much older.
At this time, he tapped the mahogany bed in the hostess's bedroom with his knuckles: "The wood for this bed...... It should be a red-spotted fir from the Arritic Islands...... There's nothing wrong with it, but when mixed with the fragrance of Faluxa, it creates a very subtle chemical reaction...... That's the root of your recent series of problems. ”
"That's ...... so"
Roshan, a very beautiful lady, put her arms around her husband at this time and muttered, "No wonder...... Sir, after you let me move out for a few days, I feel better. ”
"Now that the matter is done, then, I will take my leave."
Sulu politely said goodbye, and the man himself sent him out of the door and returned to the carriage.
He counted the money he had received, and threw a small bag of golden dragons to Duran and Wood: "Take it...... You deserve it. ”
It's not okay to keep driving these two gangsters for free, you have to give some benefits.
As for the moment, a little golden dragon will suffice.
"Thank you, generous sir!"
Wood and Duran's voices suddenly became a lot more excited.
During this time, they were actually very uneasy, not only the 'curse' on their bodies, but also the things that Sulu ordered them to do, which had greatly slowed down their daily routines, making the people in the Shark Club quite complaining.
As for now?
Most problems can be solved with money!
"Let's go, go back to the apartment!"
Sulu half-leaned back in the saddle and narrowed his eyes.
During this time, he chose some commissions that were not too difficult, and completed them one by one with a little effort, and gained a large amount of golden dragons.
It turns out that at least half of this is not a mystery.
Some are just ordinary psychological problems, and some are simply pranks.
Fortunately, he is very knowledgeable, not only a mysticist, but also a physicist, half a chemist, knows a little bit about everything, and solves them one by one, it is conceivable that it will not be long before he will become somewhat famous in some local circles.
This is the ticket to the circle of the transcendental!
Otherwise, a pure stranger will definitely be subject to a lot of scrutiny and vigilance.
And ...... In mysterious events, there are not too many cases involving supernatural beings...... I've had so many ...... before It's all because of the initiative to bump into it. ’
Back at the apartment, Sulu asks Duran and the others to leave.
Opening the door, a figure who was busy in the kitchen greeted him and said in a sweet voice:
"Welcome home, sir!"
She was wearing a cook's apron, in her twenties, with a round face and big eyes, and her name was Mary, who was a maid and a part-time cook hired by Sulu.
She was responsible for cleaning the house every day and cooking three meals for him, and did not live at home, so she had to pay for her transportation.
"What's dinner today?"
Sulu put down his coat and sat down at the table.
"The main course is veal, and the side dishes are vegetable salad, oxtail soup...... Wait! ”
Mary bowed and returned to the kitchen, where the mellow aroma of beef was coming out in a short time.
Sulu opened himself a bottle of red wine and picked up the newspaper in his hand.
He had been out all day today 'exorcism' and didn't even have time to read the newspaper for breakfast.
At this time, I opened the "Federal Daily" and saw the latest report of the city of Nia.
"The city of Nia mysteriously disappeared, leaving an astonishing crater at the scene......"
In terms of timeliness, this information is outdated, and there is still a blockade.
But Sulu looked at the photos of the sinkhole taken from high in the sky, and still couldn't help but be silent.
"One city, hundreds of thousands of citizens...... This time, it really wants to shake the Federation and shock the world, and I can't cover it anymore......"
Although the official still looks like he is desperately blocking, he knows that the day of the showdown is not far away.
"Your dinner, sir!"
Ten minutes later, Mary held a tray and placed it on the dining table in front of Sulu, and lifted the silver cover.
Whoa!
The intense white steam, mixed with the aroma of teppanyaki beef, stimulates the taste buds wildly.
"Thank you!"
Sulu wrapped his napkin around and enjoyed his dinner to his satisfaction, then watched Mary clean up and leave.
When he had rested, he took the basket and sickle, and went to the garden.
"Absinthe grows well...... It's time to harvest......"
The concocted wormwood is the main ingredient for thaumaturgic cards.
The cards on his body were almost depleted from the previous battles and had to be replenished.
'Making cards is only the first step, you also need to find the transcendent, seal the skill...... It's not something I can accomplish at the moment. ’
But...... It's also a good idea to make enough blank cards and carry them with you. ’
As I got more and more things on me, I really needed a means of storage...... But that kind of magical item, if any, must be very expensive, right? ’
During this time, although he solved some mysterious small incidents, his income was not too high, and it only added up to about one hundred golden dragons.
This kind of income can enable an ordinary person or family to live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing for several years, but when it comes to buying extraordinary materials, it is like a pebble that has been driven into a river.
All I heard was a 'poof' sound, and there was nothing left.
