"What does that mean?" Joyce asked coldly.

"Balance" took off his hood and mask: "Mr. Baron, long time no see." ”

He obviously deliberately changed his voice, and deliberately increased it by a few centimeters, how could he be so sure...... Joyce asked rhetorically:

"How do you know it's me?"

"I have a great talent for distinguishing between different people."

"Balance" said with a smile, as if greeting a good friend he hadn't seen for a long time:

"There's no need to hide between us, are you satisfied with the information you gave last time?"

"The abilities of the extraordinary? Arbitrator? ”

Joyce thought curiously, slowly fading off the disguise on his body, and at the same time his brain teaser was spinning, why did he suddenly ask this? Post-sales surveys? Is he asking, or is the person behind him asking?

Chloe is dead and has even been exchanged for a bounty...... Hmm, maybe it was through this channel that he learned of Chloe's death, so he suspected that it was me?

Thanks to the timely manner in which I sent Dean to dispose of the corpse, and after the time limit, the psychic would not have any results, so I was safe...... As for the "scales" and those behind them, hiding their heads and tails, so far they are not trustworthy at all.

After thinking about it carefully, he thought of his words, and the corners of his mouth were not so obvious mockery:

"Heh, your report looks bluffing, but she's ...... When I sent someone to visit, I found that 52 Plitz Street was not inhabited at all. ”

She? Who is she?

"Scales" keenly captured the change in the wording of Joyce's words, as if discovering a new continent, which belonged to the instinct of the agent, but in fact, this "she" was just Joyce pretending to be suspicious.

"How is it possible, my investigation guarantees to be true."

"Balance" pretended to exaggerate and said tentatively: "When did she go to visit, maybe Chloe just happened to be not at home!" ”

Joyce replied casually:

"The day after I got the report, as for the chance that things won't happen, my people are not as unreliable as your report."

Not caring about Joyce's sarcasm, the question "Scales" thought was: the next day? When I infiltrated that night, I found traces of a battle in the living room, and Chloe's bounty was taken on the third day......

The time is in line, just looking at the angry performance of this baron gentleman, it seems that he really doesn't know, is he really just a messenger? The "she" in her mouth is the one who really does it?

Noticing that Joyce was already showing impatience, "Scales" did not continue to ask, but smiled instead:

"Get some inspiration from your deal with that female member just now."

He said this just to hide his urgency: "If I can get the two materials you want in advance, wouldn't it be better to trade in person!" ”

"The sooner you prepare the materials, the sooner you can become extraordinary, right?"

"That's a good thing." Joyce muttered, and after a short thought, said:

"I don't have time for the next few days, but you should know my address, so please send someone to send it over."

After speaking, he got up and left, leaving the "balance" alone to stay silently in place.

Out of the door of the bar, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: acting is so tiring!

His language and behavior were all imitations of the pre-time "Joyce", in order to portray himself as a naïve and stupid young nobleman, in the service of a mysterious person, in order to obtain the potion formula, and he did not know anything about the deeper story.

If the "balances" and the people behind them are friends, then there is no danger no matter what I say, and if they are enemies, then let them have great powers to investigate, and it is better to find Emily, and make a defeat for both sides, so that I can calmly exit the game.

This kind of life of jumping in a minefield and trying to survive in the cracks is very difficult, and I am always worried about whether I will accidentally fall into the abyss and be crushed.

Since the crossing, I seem to have been carried by several whirlpools, helplessly forced to go with the flow, I can only hope that the rainstorm will pass sooner, the wind and waves will be calm, and the sky will be sunny after the rain.

…………

Unbeknownst to Joyce, his performance was a success and got the desired effect.

The report submitted by Tianping reads:

"Joyce Best has already obtained potion recipes from other sources, and is currently seeking ingredients: a pair of eyes of an adult Manhal fish, and fifty milliliters of blood from a black fish."

"The information of the pirate Chloe, whom he commissioned the investigation last time, was not voluntary, but was controlled by a mysterious person, and only the gender of the mysterious person is known to be female. This judgment was based on a slip of the tongue by Joyce, and the veracity of which is questionable. ”

"There is a suspicion of a connection between the two."

"Joyce is still acquiring Quaternary antiquities for unknown reasons, even if the premium is a lot of acquisitions. In addition, he lacks basic occult knowledge and is seeking to make up for it. ”

"Eventually, he seemed to be starting to have some doubts about me."

The "scales" sealed the report and sent it out in secret as usual, suddenly realizing that he didn't even understand the purpose of doing so, and that it was difficult to balance monitoring Joyce's needs and behaviors while helping him...... Maybe he is no different from Joyce, they are both pawns on the surface.

The report was passed through layers and finally delivered to MI9's headquarters building the next morning.

As is customary, the report of the informant "scales" is sent to Thomas, who then selects out the important information and forwards it to his superiors.

However, this report did not pass through Thomas's hands...... This was something he learned about the next morning when he was called into the office by the chief.

"Joyce Best got the potion recipe through other sources, do you know about that?"

The first thought that came to Thomas's mind after hearing Scarface's inquiry was that the information he had consulted about the School of Life was exactly what Joyce had said.

According to Joyce, this knowledge came from a notebook left by his father, so it was not unsurprising that the notes contained potion recipes.

Thomas seemed to recall earnestly for a moment before replying:

"I don't know, sir, maybe he happened to join an extraordinary party, which is common in Byam."

"Well, that's right, it saves us time too." Chief Scarface echoed:

"You have a good relationship with Joyce, and young people should communicate more, especially for a new extraordinary, and you can provide him with more help."

Thomas thought to himself that it was not certain who would help whom, and he promised:

"I see, sir."

Chief Scarface nodded in satisfaction and ordered, "Go to work." ”

"There is news from the East Bailang side that the members of the Rose School who have been hunted down have fled to our territory, and the two sides have to cooperate in handling the case, and they may be busy recently."

"Yes, sir."

After Thomas left, Scarface held the piece of information and muttered to himself:

"Audience path, a mysterious figure suspected of being a woman, psychological alchemy?"
