Chapter 07: Planning
"I repeat, I really heard, that evil, terrifying whisper!"
"It's completely incomprehensible, and it makes people go crazy!"
"I think it was the believers of the Knell Church who were attacked by the evil gods, which led to the result of self-detonation!"
A few hours later, in the courtyard in front of Lawrence's house.
Lying on a stretcher, Warrent, with a bandage on one arm, spoke emotionally to the tall and thin man in front of him.
Luo Wei stood by whimfully, listening to the words of the young man in front of him and comparing his own memories.
Standing in front of him was Captain Evan in a black trench coat. When he arrived at the scene, he first confirmed the physical condition of the two men, and then tried to obtain some valid information from Warrent's memories in order to track them down.
But according to Lowe's and Warrent's statements, the unidentified cultist seems to have vanished out of thin air. Evan looked up helplessly at the huge hole on the second floor, and sighed.
"Wait for the two of you to go back to the Security Department with me to explain the details."
Evan looked into the distance.
A girl in a short jacket and white jeans is coming out of Lawrence's room. He waved his hand, and the girl saw it and immediately trotted over.
"Have you finished counting the property damage?"
"The repair of the damage to Lawrence House is estimated to cost about 13 pounds and 10 prits. The flying debris killed the next-door neighbor's dog, and the compensation fee was 3 pounds. The girl meticulously read according to the record of the small notebook in her hand.
After hearing this, Evan nodded: "Recorded in Isaac's account, the Security Agency only pays half of the compensation." ”
"Why? It's not fair! Warrent shouted, his left hand flailing in the air, "I didn't do it!" ”
"Calm down, little Isaac. At least for now, you were the only person in charge of the scene. The girl said with a grin.
"That's not going to work either! That's at least...... I shouldn't have lost my dog's money! Dogs are very reactive animals, how could they be crushed to death by pieces? Warrent argued with some despair, "And I'm still injured, can you have some basic care for the sick number?" ”
"Rejected. Practice more in peacetime and shed less blood on the battlefield. Evan waved expressionlessly, and two men dressed as police officers immediately ran over and carried the aggrieved Warrent away.
Lowe watched the little brother leave with sympathy.
"Introduction, this is Mia, the financial accountant of our 'Tower' branch." Evan introduced him to him.
Luo Wei had kung fu at this time, and looked carefully at the beautiful girl in front of him.
She has silky brown medium-length hair, deep eye sockets, a slight hooked nose, and a standard western beauty face. Her pupils were a rare gray color, which made Lowe look at them a few more times.
"Hello, Mr. Austin." The girl smiled and held out her hand, "Mia Crawford." I've seen your file, we're the same age, the same month. ”
Lowe hurriedly returned the salute, took her hand lightly and let it go: "Miss Crawford is very energetic, intelligent and energetic. ”
"Really? It's a rare review, but I think it's very pertinent! She bared her teeth, "But you better call me Mia, I don't really like the last name." ”
Lowe nodded, very intriguingly and didn't ask more.
"Alright, Mr. Lowe, let's get down to business." Evan picked up the conversation at the right time.
Lowe turned to face the man.
"Have you decided what you want to keep?" Evan asked.
"It's decided, but it's missing." Lowe took out a black fountain pen from his breast pocket, "This is Uncle Lawrence's fountain pen, and a novel, which I borrowed from my father's bookshelf before, and I didn't find it." ”
Evan asked, "Which book?" What's the name? ”
"The Book of the White Witch tells the story of the sleeping white witch under the Heavenly Sacred Tree." Lowe said half-truthfully, "Maybe it's damaged...... It's a pity that the book seems to have been out of print for a long time. ”
Evan nodded, then asked, "What about the book that contains spells?" Do you remember? ”
"Nope." He shook his head.
"The Book of the White Witch" is really not found. Luo Wei had strong reason to suspect that it was this half-human monster who took the Book of the White Witch, but he didn't understand why.
I guess I want to figure out the reason, unless I bring the dead Uncle Lawrence back to life......
"I'll talk about that later. Now, you're going to come back with me to the Security Department. Evan glanced meaningfully at the handsome boy in front of him, "A Muggle can withstand the whispers of an evil god, and now looks only a little weak, and not physically injured...... You're afraid you'll be investigated by those people until midnight. ”
Evan gestured to the carriage behind him, turned and left.
Lowe was a little helpless and shrugged his shoulders at Mia beside him.
From the moment he shouted the spell "Open Sesame" to save his life, he knew that he was about to have a new trouble.
But the situation is critical, what can be done?
Mia, who was beside her, burst out laughing and patted Lowe on the shoulder.
"Not necessarily a bad thing, Mr. Austin, let's go."
……
Half past ten in the evening.
Lowe finally walked out of the inquiry room in a daze.
After several hours of repeated interrogation by Tang Seng like chanting, Luo Wei felt that the saliva in his mouth had already dried up, and his mind was full of "what did you hear", "what is your mental condition", "describe what you saw and felt"...... and so on.
Fortunately, his willpower is still strong, and he insists on answering all questions with "two eyes and one black, unconscious".
In order to compensate for his mental devastation, Captain Evan treated him to a sumptuous dinner very humanely after that.
It was close to midnight that Lowe returned home with the packed meals.
It seemed that the matter was over, and it seemed that no one had heard his mantra at the time. So after going through the investigation, Luo Wei regained his personal freedom as a complete victim.
"I hope this doesn't happen to me again......"
Standing in front of the house, Luo Wei silently finished chanting before picking up the key in his hand.
……
26 Shiso Street, the Austin family's mansion.
Belinda was wrapped in a blanket and nestled on the sofa in the living room.
The clock on the wall had passed twelve o'clock, but the brother who had gone out had not yet returned. Did you get a night shift job?
The light of the gas lamp flickered slightly, and Belinda was in a daze, as if she could smell the aroma of food again.
"I must have fainted from hunger...... Let's borrow some more money from Yvette tomorrow......" she wrinkled her nose and muttered reluctantly.
Click.
The sound of a key opening the door came from the door.
Belinda immediately came to her senses, sat up and looked at the door.
"Belinda? It just so happens that you haven't slept, I'm back with food! ”
Luo Weile walked into the house with two large lunch boxes.
A little girl's exclamation came from behind the sofa.
By the time Lowe turned around and closed the door, Belinda had already kicked her slippers and ran up to Lowe and cleanly snatched the lunch box from his hand.
"It's so natural!" Lowe complained.
Belinda gave him a blank look, and her hands kept moving.
Lowe keenly caught the corners of his sister's upturned mouth.
"You don't want to ask me, what did you bring back?"
"What is it?"
"Uh...... Delicious. Lots and lots of good food. The lack of language left him at a loss as to how to describe the content of the meal.
Belinda rolled her eyes: "Look, I don't know what it is when I ask." ”
Luo Wei was helpless: "Because there are too many things." ”
"Where did it come from?"
"Security Agency, Captain Evan is in for a treat, I thought I didn't have anything to eat at home, so I packed it all and brought it back."
Walking to the dining table, Luo Wei also reached out to help, unpacking the lunch boxes and placing them on the table one by one.
"There was bacon potato pizza, corn cream bisque, roast chicken...... This soup is super delicious, there is fresh bread in the lunch box, you can try to dip it in the soup to taste, there is a special deliciousness! Lowe chattered as he took out a piece of bread and handed it to Belinda.
"Go wash your hands first!" The little girl pouted, and instead of reaching out to take it, she turned around and ran to the bathroom.
……
A minute later, the two began their evening snack at the restaurant.
After the little girl finished praying, she immediately opened her bow left and right, completely losing the girl's reserve.
She also didn't forget to ask: "Why did you come back from the Security Service?" ”
"I went to Uncle Lawrence's house today and there was some hiccupe."
Luo Wei coughed dryly: "You also know, my luck has not been good lately, and I always encounter some bad things." ”
"Huh?" Belinda made a slurred voice.
"Speaking of which, I'm going to find a way to find a job next." Luo Wei grabbed some lettuce and stuffed it into his mouth, changing the subject, "Although we don't have to make any compensation, no matter what, the family's economy doesn't allow me to do nothing like this." ”
Belinda, who was sitting across from her and gobbling up, stopped, raised her head and looked at Lowe in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
The little girl swallowed something in her mouth and asked, "Have you changed sex?" ”
Lowe: "?? ”
"I remember you said a lot early on that you would never do the work that you do regularly because it would limit your freedom." Belinda rolled her eyes, "Freedom of the body, and freedom of the soul." ”
Luo Wei's face darkened: "If I ever said such a thing, please forget it seriously." ”
"Okay." The younger sister hooked the corners of her mouth and continued to eat, with a little more happy look between her eyebrows.
"At that time, I must not have faced my bleak life." Luo Wei coughed solemnly, thinking about his plans for tomorrow.
