Chapter 74: Fifty percent of the progress of the encounter

Is the god of contracts, Yogfried's concern......

It seems that this is a god who, like the Lord of the Dawn, has not fallen into a deep sleep.

"The deal is complete," Claire put away the contract, "This epoch relic must be kept, and if it is lost, it will also be punished~"

Wayne put the book into the space ring, and said angrily, "As long as you don't deliberately make it bad, there shouldn't be a third person who knows about it." โ€

However, after signing the equal contract, he was also relieved, at least for a short time, he didn't have to worry about Claire assassinating him again.

"Of course not, huh?"

Claire turned her head and glanced behind her, "It seems that you are very dishonest~ Investigator Wayne." โ€

Wayne also noticed that Lacey was rushing towards this side, "This only shows that your strength is too strong." โ€

"I wanted to stay with you a little longer, forget it, then I'll see you next time."

Claire got up lightly, appeared behind him at the moment of her step, pressed against his back, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Next time I will allow you to look at it in the bright light~"

Wayne only felt his ears itching, and his hairs stood on end, "Look, what are you looking at?" โ€

"Giggle~"

Claire didn't answer, and her figure slowly vanished, leaving only a silver bell-like laugh.

"Sir Quillo, there's a nice restaurant here, I hope you like it......"

"Damn, those Vรกzquez people in the Laos neighborhood should be rotting there, not ...... everywhere"

"Big news, the death birds of the city-state secretary ......"

Hearing the sounds around him flood into his ears again, Wayne let out a sigh of relief, apparently out of that illusion.

Fortunately, Claire didn't come to assassinate him this time, otherwise they would have had to collect his body when Lacey and the others came.

Thinking like this, he saw Lacey and Marco rushing over, "Wayne, are you alright?" Is Claire here again? Where is she? โ€

"Gone, when she saw you coming, she left."

"She didn't do anything to you?" Marco asked after looking left and right to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"No, it shouldn't have been in time, she didn't expect me to have this,"

Wayne took out the 'siren' from his pocket and shook it, "Thank you Sister Lacey for giving me this, otherwise she might have already done it." โ€

"Damn Claire, she dared to come today after she was so badly injured yesterday."

Lacey's face didn't look better because of his acknowledgment, "Did she say anything?" โ€

Wayne said half-truthfully: "A little crazy, saying that she wants me to make amends, blaming me for causing her to be injured, and saying that she is very interested in my body, and I don't quite understand what she is referring to......"

Marco sounded familiar, as if he remembered the last time Claire had said that to him.

"Then you have to be careful, Claire just wants you to become her puppet."

"Huh?"

Lacey's expression became even more annoyed, "Did Yegor's bastard put this matter at ease and said that he would ...... it?"

At this moment, a buzzing voice interrupted her words.

"Huh? This time calls me? โ€

Lacey turned to look at the secret priest not far away, and her brow furrowed.

Wayne asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" โ€

He noticed that the sounds were coming from her earrings, an amber earring that looked like a precision gear, and was ...... Ugly.

"The call of the high-ranking commissioners," Lacey pressed the earrings, "Marco, you take Wayne back first, I'm going to leave." โ€

"Okay."

"Sister Laixi, you are busy first, and my affairs will be talked about when you come back."

"Wayne,"

Lacey looked at him and said solemnly, "Regarding the matter of Claire, I will apply to the above again." Rest assured, I won't let her mess around at Cust. โ€

"Hmm."

Wayne nodded, and his heart couldn't help but warm.

In any case, they did care about his safety, but they came a little late......

When Wayne returned to the office, he found that Tina had returned, sitting quietly at his desk fiddling with a clown doll.

Before he could speak, a red message appeared in his mind.

[You have indirect contact with the Forbidden Item 1-83 Demon Clown, and the trajectory of fate has changed to a certain extent, and the current encounter progress is 50/100.] Evaluation: Fate will always make people unlucky, and so are taboos.

Special Rewards: Survival Points +20, Origin +2, Tenacity Level +3, Spirit Level +3. ใ€‘

Indirect contact?

Wayne's gaze fell on the clown doll in Tina's hand.

That's a demon clown?

No

Probably not,

If so, the progress should not be just 50 percent, but already suffered!

Thinking like this, Wayne pulled out a smile, "Tina, when did you come back?" โ€

"Tina, last night."

The white-haired girl turned to look at him, jumped down from the high-backed chair, and dragged the clown doll about her size, bouncing around.

Then, under Wayne's surprised gaze, he shook his hand.

"Tina, you ......"

The lively and beating pace, combined with the dead and empty face, always feels weird......

Moreover, she didn't walk like this before, did she?

Marco returned to his seat and said casually, "When I saw her in the morning, it was like this, and Lacey said it was the after-effects of that, and it will be fine in a few days." โ€

"That's right,"

Referring to the last incident, Wayne's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, and he patted Tina's head, "If you can laugh a little, this looks good." โ€

"Tina, laugh."

When Tina heard his words, the corners of her mouth really twitched, revealing a strange smile.

Wayne just glanced at it, and cold sweat came down.

Who's smiling face is grinning to the root of the ear......

"Tina, stop, let's stop laughing in the future."

The white-haired girl's smile vanished, "Tina, I know." โ€

"That's also one of the after-effects," Marco saw this scene, his expression the same as that of Wayne, "I have suggested to Lacey that she should not be sent out of the mission for the time being." โ€

"Good advice."

Wayne wiped the sweat from his head and pulled Tina back to her seat.

It seems that I will have to keep my distance from the people of the Church of Dawn in the future, and if I do it again, I don't know what will become of Tina.

In the unlikely event of a catastrophic aberration...... It's hard for him not to die.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

It wasn't until after noon that Lacey pushed the door in with an unhappy face.

"Yo, Sir Lacey, why did you come back so late?" Marco leaned over for the first time.

"Get out of the way." Lacey slapped him away.

"Huh? It seems that today's meeting is not going well? โ€

Wayne stopped the mechanical puppet blueprint he was drawing in his hand and looked up at Lacey, who was also curious about what new moves the senior management of the secret division had made.

Lacey ignored him and sat down in a high-backed chair, her hands crossed over her chest, thinking about something.

After a long time, she said faintly: "You say, is it possible that our boss has been dropped?" โ€

The director was dropped??

Marco and Wayne glanced at each other, both a little confused, why didn't they ask this coldly?

PS: Thank you for the tip.

Tomorrow will continue the three watches, and this time I will update them all around twelve o'clock.

Thank you for your support.

PPS: Thank you to Quill Morgan for the trick โ€“ Quilo. Morgan's surname is a bit of a play, I'll change it.
