Chapter 1 Poison Bait

At nine o'clock in the morning, Russell pushed the door open and entered the office of the Special Operations Department.

Russell has changed into the uniform of the Special Operations Department.

The pure black slim short trench coat makes the short Russell look a little more sassy.

It's June 20th.

More than a month has passed since the "Little Liuli Incident".

During the month, there was only one Demon Alert...... Considering that the "curtain of ignorance" may still be staring at the inferior one, this time the inferior one did not let Russell do it, but disposed of the demon himself.

In other words, Russell touched for a whole month β€” and got a good salary.

I go to work every day to get paid to fish...... Although I haven't done anything, I've really worked hard for myself. Russell thought to himself.

"Early~"

Russell dragged a long note, his voice languiding. It's like a cat that sees a person and meows as a hello.

Before that, the inferior and the delphinium had already arrived at the office.

The office of the Department of Special Operations, although it is an office...... But in fact, there are many built-in supporting facilities.

There are three refrigerators alone, a water bar for making tea, coffee, and milk, and even a built-in open kitchen with a dining table for eight people.

At the moment, the kitchen is filled with the sizzle of fried meat steaks.

As soon as Russell pushed the door in, the enticing aroma made his eyes light up suddenly.

So Russell sat down at the table with confidence. The spot with the hot milk was obviously his...... After all, neither the inferior nor the delphinium like to drink milk.

"What are you going to eat today?"

He asked expectantly.

"Steak, omelette, mushrooms."

The inferior replied coldly: "There is also the minister's boiled broccoli...... You eat a little too. ”

"Eh......"

Hearing that he was going to be a vegetarian, Russell shrunk his neck a little aggrieved, but didn't say much.

- Since he knew that the inferior could cook, Russell didn't go to the staff cafeteria in the morning to find something to eat.

Although food is freely available in the staff cafeteria...... But generally speaking, there are more delicious foods at noon.

And because he's so famous. Whenever Russell went to the cafeteria to eat, there would always be people who came over to talk to him and make a familiar face.

At first, they were politeβ€”even in awe.

But when they found out that Russell had a good temper and a gentle personality...... Their purpose began to be more than just accosting a conversation.

Some want Russell's friends, some want to know Russell's code name, and some want to take a photo with Russell or take a video with him and post it up. There are also some big sisters who like to move their hands and feet against Russell...... There are even girls who want to pursue Russell.

If it's noon, because the buffet is really delicious, Russell can't bear it.

At most, the girl touched his ears twice...... Russell is the type of person whose ears are not very sensitive, and it doesn't matter if he is touched twice. As long as you bite to death and don't add friends, and don't go to any social places with people, you will definitely not suffer.

But the morning and evening dishes are relatively not so hearty.

Especially for breakfast - only 10% of it is meat, or some simple meat such as fried bacon and beef broth.

Russell is the meatless type.

He had to eat meat at every meal, otherwise he would become weak or mentally ill.

After Russell was raised by his mentor with a variety of high-quality ingredients, the demand for food quality also increased.

This also seems to be a manifestation of Russell's affinity...... After all, Delphinium is very nutritionally balanced, and there is no Russell at all.

"Give."

The inferior brought a fried piece of steak to Russell, and on a small plate next to him was an omelette, a small piece of broccoli, and two mushrooms.

Russell grimaced, picking out the broccoli and eating it hard first - he is the type who likes to eat his least favorite food first.

He rinsed the milk in his mouth, and then began to gobble it up.

Although the amount of food is the smallest of the three, Russell's eating posture is very fierce and serious.

And on the plates of the other two, the portion of side dishes was several times more than Russell's.

The inferior one puts his share on the table first. It was opposite Russell, but not diagonally.

He then placed the delphinium's portion of food on her desk. Delphinium's eating habits are different from those of the two...... She prefers to do official business, watch the news, or study to read books, while eating slowly. She can often eat a meal for more than an hour until the food is cold.

The inferior then took off his apron and began to eat slowly in his seat.

He ate gracefully and slowly, without getting the juices off the plate or staining his cheeks. Unlike Delphinium, he doesn't use the internet when he eats...... It's a lot like Russell.

Eating for three people are three completely different habits.

Not long after the inferior had just started eating, Russell burped and collapsed on his chair with his stomach in his arms.

He's already finished eating.

"I'm starting to understand a little bit, too."

Russell squinted his eyes and relaxed his body: "Why doesn't Delphinium like to go to the free and delicious canteen to eat...... The inferior cooks really well. ”

"Not really, I'm mainly afraid of trouble. More often than not, I order takeout. ”

Delphinium's tone was as lazy as Russell's, and she whispered casually while flipping through the news: "I don't want to pay attention to the people who come to talk to me, but I can't ignore them...... They will speak ill of you behind your back. But if you ignore one person and ignore another, it's even worse.

"On the other hand, if they see me and their eyes meet, they don't come to say hello, and they feel that they are a little rude. While I don't really care about that, there are always people who do, so they do the right thing.

"Since I'm not wrong, and they are not wrong, that means everyone is right...... Then it's better that I don't show up. When I go out, I will cause trouble to others, and things will happen that make me feel trouble......"

"Forget about the takeaway."

The inferior said coldly: "Anyway, the ingredients are also provided for free, so you don't need to use them in vain." What do you do to waste money ordering takeout? It is also easy to leak personal information. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it possible to leak information about my location in the Special Operations Department? ”

Delphinium couldn't help but laugh: "Even if it is leaked, what can it do?" Aren't we open here? ”

"If you leak information, you won't be safe."

The inferior meal knife pointed at the delphinium and replied in a flat tone: "Maybe the food will be poisoned, or the food delivery drone will be replaced with an attack drone, or the food delivery drone is equipped with a bug." It's all possible.

"It's better for you to ask Ultramarine to go to the cafeteria to bring you food than for you to order takeout...... Now the situation is different. Even if I go on a mission, it won't be empty. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Have you ever been poisoned, inferior? ”

Russell was a little curious.

What he said was all too true...... It is more realistic than what "takeaway is harmful to health".

Most people wouldn't think that someone would poison a takeaway, right?

"I've been down."

It was not the inferior who answered Russell, but the delphinch.

She looked at Russell with a smile, patted the table in front of her, and motioned for Russell to sit opposite her: "Come and listen, otherwise the inferior may take a corner against you in a while." ”

"Come onβ€”"

Russell sprang to the table in two steps and dragged the stool forward.

He saw that the food in front of the delphinium had barely moved, just a piece of sweetened omelette.

The delphinium slowly cut the food and answered Russell's doubts: "He has been poisoned by people close to him since he was six or seven years old. ”

"Someone close to you?"

Russell couldn't help but lower his voice: "Can you tell me this kind of thing?" ”

"There's nothing he can't say, he doesn't shy away from this."

Delphinium said, cutting off a cutlet.

She plugged it up with a fork and put it to Russell's mouth with a smile: "Open your mouth, ah~"

"Ah~"

Russell subconsciously opened his mouth and ate the piece of meat.

Munching on the juicy beef, he was satisfied.

"β€”like now."

The smile on Delphinch's face faded slightly: "He was poisoned by his own mother. ”

Russell froze, and his chewing on food suddenly stopped.

"I didn't give it to you, I ate yours."

Delphinium glared at Russell angrily.

Russell then resumed chewing.

He looked back at the inferior with some surprise.

…… Poisoned by your own mother? Why?

Adoptive mother?

"It's my mother."

Delphinium whispered.

"In addition to my mother, I also have friends."

The inferior sneered and added.

His whispered voice rang out in the room, but it was clear: "Poisonous steak, drugged drink." Some are poisons, some are laxatives, and some are drugs that can make people lose their minds and become insane. Some are drugs that become addictive after taking them.

"Then I got used to it. Prepare your own food at the feast, do not drink water that no one else has drunk, and carefully check the cup. The food handed over by a friend must not be eaten...... Some people close to you betray you, while others will use your friends to poison you. ”

Russell looked at the inferior in amazement.

The inferior noticed Russell's gaze and showed a proud, villain-like horror smile: "Why do you think I can cook?"

"It's simple. If it's not food I make, I won't eat it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Have you offended anyone? ”

"Offended?"

The inferior sneered: "As long as I live, I will be feared, hated, and despised."

"β€”just like the name they gave me."
