Wayne went out with a black umbrella, followed by Miss Zombie, and it was still early before he went to work, so he went to the high-end store he visited yesterday to buy some ingredients.

"Welcome, sir, woman...... Uh, ma'am. ”

The waiter, dressed in a black and white coat, respectfully opened the door, his gaze resting on Sava's face, intentionally or unintentionally.

Such a slender and well-behaved lady turned out to be blind...... And there are obvious traces of abuse on his body, which is a pity.

Wayne didn't pay attention to his expression, let alone know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have given him a lightning bolt to clear his mind.

He was making a breakfast with great interest.

Unknown eggs come a few.

Potato? Come with a bag.

This is a deep-sea snow fish cut, so big it's only 10 shillings, get a piece and try it......

There is also barley bread, which is not as hard as a stone like black bread, but similar to toast, and as the store calls it, it is Haisi.

Together with some condiments and cooking oil, the total cost of 1 gold pound and 12 shillings.

Wayne happily paid and let Miss Zombie carry her things, while he continued to hold his umbrella and return to Golden Street.

"Looks like it's going to rain all the time today."

"It's raining, I don't like it."

Carrying a large bag in both hands, Sava carefully curled up under the umbrella to prevent the rain from wetting the newly bought dress she was wearing.

Those miserable white eyes kept their eyes on their feet, avoiding tripping over the uneven stone path.

"Will it rain in the world of the dead?"

"Yes, red."

Wayne was stunned, "Blood? ”

"Well, every time it rains, there's going to be a lot of ...... Standing underneath, I don't like it. ”

"Why?"

"Will advance."

Promotion?

Wayne asked tentatively, "...... Is that the kind of promotion I understand? ”

"Well," Sava hung her head, "and when they get promoted, they will leave the hills and head to the bigger ones, kill, devour, or be killed." ”

Hill, bigger hill......

For a moment, Wayne extinguished his intention to inquire about the scenery and landform of the undead world, "Then you will do the same, devouring?" ”

"Well, I kill and devour, and I won't be killed."

"Then you're pretty good."

"In the mountains, I am the strongest."

Why does it still sound a little tsundere?

"Amazing," Wayne inexplicably remembered those mountain kings who were kings of the mountains, but he didn't expect Miss Zombie's strength to dominate one side.

"Then why don't you advance to a bigger mountain, a hill?"

Sava shook her head, "Don't want to die." ”

“……”

These words came out of the mouth of a zombie, and they were quite fresh.

However, Wayne has figured out what she thinks, and she just wants to be the strongest in the hill all the time.

If she advanced to other mountains, she would have to start climbing at the bottom of the mountain, which was too dangerous.

"You still remember when you were alive...... I mean, the memories of before going to the world of the dead? ”

"I don't remember."

Hearing this question, Miss Zombie looked at him with straight eyes, as if wondering how he could even ask such a question.

Wayne said curtly, "Don't mind, I'm just curious." ”

"Hmm."

But the rest of the day, no matter what questions he asked, Sava didn't say anything.

After returning to her residence in silence, Miss Zombie dropped her things and went back to her room and locked the door......

Wayne scratched her head, it seems that Miss Zombie still minds the memories of her life?

Soon, though, he put it behind him and focused on preparing a hearty breakfast.

Fried fish steak, fried egg, fried ...... It should be fried potato chips.

Paired with some unique sauces, it tastes surprisingly good.

This made Wayne decide to bring some potato chips to the secretarial office when he went to work later.

"Or, bring some for Tina, too."

Thinking of this, Wayne also prepared a copy for Lacey, and everyone shared good things.

In the few days he had been in the secret department, he had also learned the tastes of several other people.

Lacey is a big fan of barbecue, especially the chewy tendons.

Marco has a sweet tooth and especially likes to eat everything with cheese, which in his words feels like a kiss.

Tina, on the other hand, is usually something heavy and peculiar, which I can't describe much.

Of course, he hasn't forgotten the new Carly, and if it's lighter, she should like it.

Soon, Wayne prepared one for each of them, which was stored in the spatial ring.

Seeing that the time had come to ten o'clock, Wayne packed his things and went out dressed neatly, saying goodbye to Sava during the process, but still received no response......

"Help, how to coax your little zombie to get angry?"

Wayne sighed, I'm afraid that the answer to this question most wizards gave him was - dismantle it.

"Good morning, Wayne."

"Good morning."

Carly has been busy since the red moon disappeared.

But the inability to do anything about the injured patients added a touch of sadness to her face.

"Let's go to the secret division first, maybe Sister Lacey has a way to cure them."

Wayne knew the reason why she was in a bad mood, and to be honest, he didn't expect so many people to be poked blind by the deep-sea beasts last night.

For four hours, hundreds of people came to Morris's clinic for help, and people came to the door in several nearby streets.

"Secretarial Division? Hurry up, I'm going to ask Captain Lacey. ”

Carly's eyes lit up, her face brightened, and she took Wayne's hand and ran out of the Golden Street.

[You are locked by Melbert Osilies' killing intent. Evaluation: Tsk, holding hands is risky. Reward: +3 Survival Points. 】

Wayne pouted secretly, did I not want to let go?

Obviously, your holy daughter has too much strength, so I can only hold her soft palm tightly.

In fact, Carly's strength was a little less than it had been at Krems Cathedral.

It may also be that now that Wayne's toughness level has been raised to 112, the gap with her basic attributes has become smaller.

It didn't take long for the two of them to make it all the way to the Secret Division.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I saw Lacey and Tina, both dressed in civilian clothes, sitting at their desks, lazily lying down.

Lacey was stunned for a moment when she saw them push the door in, "Wayne, Carly?" How did you two get here? ”

Wayne looked at her suspiciously, "No, go to work?" ”

Lacey patted her head and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, the rules of the secret division are not used to work when it rains." ”

Wayne: "......"

Such an important thing could have been talked about earlier......

But if they don't go to work, why do they come?

"Hmm...... You came just in time to have a case to go. Originally, I was going to take Tina with me, but now I'd better let Carly go with me. ”

Lacey then looked at Wayne and said, "In addition, yesterday's case has been dealt with by the warhead. You take Tina with you to finish it up. ”

"Oh, good."

And Carly was more concerned about another thing, "Sister Lacey, many people couldn't see last night, as if they were like this after seeing a huge monster, do you know how to treat it?" ”

"There's no way," Lacey shook her head, "it's not a simple injury, it's a very special curse. ”

"Cursed?"

"Well, this is what Yegor told me, and let us avoid that monster as soon as we see it in the future, otherwise that curse will directly make your eyes disappear."

“…… Is there really no way to solve it? ”

"No," Lacey hesitated, "but the conditions for the cure are too harsh to be done. ”

"On what terms?"

"You need the blood of that monster, just smear its blood on your eyes and you can lift the curse and return to normal."

Speaking of this, Lacey paused, "According to Yegor, that monster is very terrifying, and its strength is comparable to that of a third-level calamity, which is enough to destroy the entire city-state of Karst. ”

"So, even if you know the way, you can't cure those people."

"That's right......" Carly was a little disappointed.

"Alright, while you're all there, let's have a taste." Wayne took the packets of potato chips out of the ring and handed out one to all three.

"Oh? What is it? Lacey picked up a slice and threw it into her mouth.

Click, click, click.

"The taste, great!"

"If you like it......"

Carly tasted it too, and the slightly sweet sauce made her mood much better.

Only Tina didn't react much, but instead used potato chips to replace the biscuits, stuffing them into the clown doll's mouth one by one.

[You are in 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 65/100.] Comments: Well, it's very much in line with the Joker's taste...... Probably?

Special Rewards: Survival Point +5, Origin +1, Tenacity Level +1, Spirit Level +1. 】

Why is this okay??

When Wayne saw this prompt message, he wanted to cry and thought: Does this count as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

……

……

As the rain became heavier, Wayne and Tina had to take a horse-drawn carriage ride to Basil's neighborhood.

The sound of the rain pounding on the roof of the carriage also made Wayne lose the idea of talking to the coachman, and sat in the carriage and looked through Jerry's Wizard's Codex.

Before he left the house in the morning, he had completed the design drawings of a version of the mechanical puppet.

Before he even started working on it, he wanted to find some insights from the Codex on Jerry's Wizard design drawings for the mechanical golem.

But after looking through it for a long time, he didn't find any useful information.

It's all about "How can this be done here?" I'm a genius," or "I'm so genius to think of a design like this."

As for what kind of design it was, the genius Jerry didn't say a word, and threw out a complete mechanical golem blueprint at the end......

Looking at the content of such a codex, not to mention whether he can learn something, just that narcissism, he must first have strong self-control.

Otherwise, I'm really worried that the whole codex will be torn apart!

"Sir, your destination has arrived."

Wayne got out of the car and opened the umbrella before letting Tina come down with the clown doll in her arms.

He didn't dare to let the white-haired girl drag the clown anymore, with the bad character of the taboo, it was hard to say that he would not add a few more points of progress to him.

"Look, two young hoodoosmen."

"Only in the city-state will they be there, humming on the sea."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Octopus, you hurt our crew, we're going to arrest you hahaha......"

“……”

Listening to the harsh sounds around him, Wayne frowned. He glanced around, and saw that they were all sturdy, tanned sailors.

How do you feel that there are a lot more people here than the last time I came with Marco?

[You are scanned by Severin Kamala's psychic perception. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

【……】

You are scanned by Alejandro West's psychic perception. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

Without saying anything, Wayne calmly took Tina's hand and walked towards a tavern in the middle of Basil's neighborhood.

On both sides of the road, dozens of hundreds of sailors gathered in twos and threes, and they couldn't help but laugh when they saw that the two of them left as if they didn't seem to hear their words.

"It's boring, people in the city-state are so weak."

"Sevie, you can't expect them to be as accustomed to blood and fighting as we are, they ...... Forehead. ”

Click.

The smug sailor felt a cold touch in his head, and at the same time, he felt the familiar and dangerous aura of being targeted by a sea monster as he had been active at sea for many years......

"What about the back?"

Wayne held Tina in one hand and a musket against his head in the other, and asked coldly, "Are they......?" Oh no, how are we doing? ”

Whoa, whoa.

Before the sailor could speak, the sailors around him who saw this situation pulled out their weapons, whether guns or swords, and stared at Wayne with cold eyes.

The leader of the group pushed away the crowd and looked him up and down, "This, well, Mr. Investigator of the Secret Investigation Division, please lay down your arms, he is just joking with you." ”

"Hmm...... I apologize to you on his behalf, if you will. ”

[You are locked by Collins Vázquez's killing intent.] Rating: +3 survival points. 】

【……】

[You are locked by Ernaux Vázquez's killing intent.] Rating: +3 survival points. 】

Wayne glanced at him and slowly put away his musket, "There is no need to apologize, in fact, I was joking." ”

No wonder from the beginning, there were a few strange glances that made him care, it turned out to be them...... Looks like a little more careful.

I thought that after yesterday, Collins and the others had left the city-state of Custer, but I didn't expect that not only did they not leave, but they also hid here.

The sailor leader, who obviously had some strength, saluted respectfully, "Thank you very much for your understanding. ”

"However, this is a city-state, not on the sea, and it requires not only courage and flesh, but also etiquette and noble qualities."

"What you're saying is that I'll restrain them."

Wayne nodded, he had the answer he wanted, and turned to continue walking with Tina towards the tavern.

Although only a day has passed, his strength has not improved a little now, and Collins and they are really going to attack him...... There may be surprises.

"Do you want to do it? He's still just one man. Ernaux asked, looking coldly at Wayne's back.

Collins shook his head, "No, this is a critical period, and it has affected the plan above, and you and I can't explain it." ”

"Then let him live a few more days, I can afford to wait......"

And those sailors, one by one, were equally eager to kill Wayne.

"Boss, why didn't you just do it? He's alone, and he's holding back, I'm ......."

Syllable!

Before he could finish speaking, the sailor leader gave him a slap in the face and shouted: "I told you that this time you should be low-key in Custer, do you want to be ...... Feed the fish? ”

"No, it's not, me."

"Go back and be honest!"

“……”

As for the reaction behind him, Wayne heard a little, and it seemed that these people came to Custer by accident.

Was it on the Black Pearl?

Or is it something else?

If it is the former, then he will have to look down on the Black Pearl, and people with strength are not so able to call it.

If it's the latter, it's obviously not a good thing......

But what does it have to do with him? He was just an ordinary inquisitor in the city-state of Custer, and an even more ordinary intelligence officer of the Ghost School.

Thinking so, Wayne soon took Tina to the tavern where the case was located, Snow.

The hot girls at the door saw the two of them and hugged them enthusiastically, "Sir, do you want to come in and play?" The price is not expensive, and it is good to live and affordable. ”

"Yes, you and this ...... Uh, Miss, you can ...... together."

Wayne lifted his coat and lit his musket, "Deal with yesterday's case." ”

"Bad luck affects us to do ......"

When the enthusiastic ladies saw the muskets, they walked away consciously, their faces full of disgust.

"Tina, good work, what?"

Wayne looked at Tina, who had a cold face, and said for a while: "This is a good job, probably because the quality of the things in this tavern is better." ”

"Tina knows, Joker, good work."

Wayne: "......"

Okay, I hope Mr. Clown will think he's praising him when he hears this......

"Mr. Investigator, you are here, come with me quickly."

When the tavern keeper saw the two enter, he led them into the tavern, chattering endlessly.

"You guys from the Secret Division have gone too far, not to mention breaking the contents of it, and smashing that damn deviant with disgusting stuff everywhere......"

The polite smile on Wayne's face lasted only until the foul-smelling room was opened.

I saw that this dark, damp room was filled with a strong putrid stench, and there were shattered corpse parts, green slime, and twisted tentacles everywhere.

The surrounding walls were covered in cracks and dark red bloodstains, like marks left by the force that had been torn apart by a great force, and it was clear that these tentacles could not have left them.

"I finally understand why Lacey keeps calling the Warhead people crazy......

The tavern owner just glanced at it, retched and dropped a "you're busy" and ran straight out.

[Discover the origin that can be devoured, do you use the soul devouring spell?] 】

Well?

When Wayne saw this information, he didn't expect to be able to devour the origin?

It was easy to clean up.

With that in mind, he motioned for Tina to wait outside the door, facing the horrific and bloody scene alone.

[You use the Soul Devouring Spell to devour the origin of the distorted species, and your origin is improved.] Comment: I'm curious, what does it taste like? Special Reward: Origin +0.01. 】

"Baba, it stinks!!"

Wayne didn't care about the painful expressions of a few little Assi, if you want to grow up, you have to learn to be patient, sons.

But—

0.01 point origin? So little??

I remember the last time I devoured those undead creatures, the least was 0.1 Origin Power, and the most was like Ognyan directly providing 1 Origin.

"Either because the death time is too long, the origin dissipates, or because the origin of the aberrant species is relatively small, and there are ......"

There is still only one chapter today......

I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day on Tanabata, well, stay safe.
