Wayne silently observed the finger-thick rune lines.

The unique silvery-white luster of Saar's metal shone under the illumination of the rune in the middle, and it was difficult to see the pattern of the engraving from a distance.

But when he used his body to block the light of those runes, he could see that these lines were a little reddish-brown, like rust formed by metal rust.

Wayne carefully touched the dented lines of the engraving, and his body slammed.

[You have touched the power of the origin of desire, because your origin is more than 30, you have not been corrupted and polluted by the power of the origin of desire. Comments: You only have 10 seconds...... Special Rewards: +10 Survival Points, +2 Toughness Level, +2 Spirit Level. 】

Wayne hurriedly let go of his hand, his heart beating violently, and a strange flush appeared on his face, like a state of anger entering the back of his head.

The power of the origin of desire?

When he first touched the inscription, his mind had already flashed to Clea, Lacey, Carly...... Even Sava showed up, and was doing all sorts of drastic things.

Not only that, but he also saw the figure of the liaison officer and Melbel, who died tragically after being tainted by the death trait under the volley of gunfire.

At that moment, the desire in his heart was infinitely magnified......

Wayne looked at the little traces of corrosion, and his eyes became solemn.

Even his profound source power was almost corrupted and polluted, and it was difficult for their scholars who stayed here to work all year round to resist the pollution of the origin of desire.

Therefore, the problem with the city-state magic circle is that the Desire Sect is a ghost?

Mitra, the Lord of Desire, to be exact?

Wayne thought for a moment, then looked left and right at the wall in front of him, he wanted to see how many lines were eroded by the origin of desire.

One, two, three......

And the little time he stood here, a message would pop up on the panel from time to time.

[Because your origin is more than 30, you have successfully resisted the power of the origin of desire...... Special Rewards: Survival Point +5, Spirit Level +1, Tenacity Level +1. 】

【……】

【…… Reward: +3 Survival Points. 】

A total of 113 rune lines have been eroded!

Although this number is not worth mentioning compared to all the lines in the room, the impact on the rune circle is definitely not negligible.

I don't know what these patterns belong to......

Wayne looked at the pattern markings thoughtfully, do you want to tell Yegor about this discovery?

[You have been scanned by Chardy Otasilio's psychic perception.] Evaluation: I advise you to treat it as a good ...... that you didn't find Reward: +5 Survival Points. 】

As soon as he had such an idea, he saw a purple blackened prompt flash in his mind.

Someone staring over here?

5 o'clock?

Psychic perception has a 5 survival point bonus?

What level of transcendent does this have to be?

Wei En's heart sank, it seems that the problem with the magic circle here, the strength of the people behind it, is even more terrifying than he imagined.

Taking a powerhouse of this level to stare at the city-state magic circle shows that they have a big plan!

Now even if he wants to say it, he can't say it, otherwise he doesn't know what the consequences will be......

Thinking of this, Wayne was ready to pretend to go somewhere else to check it out.

Well?

Only then did he notice the information on the panel, and a prompt would pop up almost every two or three minutes.

Except for the first four special rewards, all the information that follows is only the survival point reward.

Reward......

Wayne glanced back and saw that everyone else was gathered around the high platform to watch Alicia's inspection, and no one cared about him.

Just because you can't talk on the panel doesn't mean you can't do something quietly, right?

It's rare to have such a safe opportunity to get some rewards, when to brush if you don't brush at this time?

Thinking like this, he didn't leave, approached the wall and pretended to observe the rune lines, and from time to time touched the source of those desires with his hand.

You touch the ...... of the origin of desire Special Rewards: Survival Point +9, Tenacity Level +2, Spirit Level +2. 】

【…… Survival point +8, Tenacity Level +1, Spirit Level +1. 】

【……】

[You have touched the power of the origin of desire, because your origin is more than 30, you have not been corrupted and polluted by the power of the origin of desire. Evaluation: Are you sure you want to continue? Reward: +5 Survival Points. 】

After receiving more than a dozen special rewards in a row, it was not until only the ordinary survival point rewards were left that Wayne stopped.

It's not good to stop and don't stop.

With each touch, those illusions of desire would appear in his mind, and as the number of times increased, the scene became clearer and clearer.

Even in the back, he can clearly feel the real touch, as well as the excitement and comfort after the intense......

Touching the source of desire so directly, he was really worried that he would not be able to resist performing the transformation of a beast on the spot.

"Wayne, did you find anything?"

"Not yet,"

When Wayne heard Lacey's voice, he only half-turned and glanced at her, and quickly looked elsewhere, "I'll go and see elsewhere." ”

“…… There is a discovery to say. ”

Lacey watched his movements, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, why did he walk in such a strange position?

"No problem."

Wayne replied pretending to be casual, glaring at a pair of reddened eyes, and leaned sideways along the wall to the back of the scholars.

,

He had just seen Lacey's figure, and the previous scene burst into his mind.

Wayne looked at the scholars who were busy. Gray hair, wrinkled old face, thin figure......

The more he looked, the calmer his heart became.

It wasn't until his body was unresponsive that Wayne wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh.

I'm afraid for a long time, he won't be able to look directly at Lacey and Carly......

Damn the origin of desire!

It didn't take long for Professor Lynchoa to walk in and go straight to Alicia, "Anything else to discover?" ”

Alicia observed the core runes little by little, shook her head and said, "Not for the time being...... Professor, do you know which part of the rune has the ability to detect the Bone Eater? ”

Professor Lin Qiaoya's face was a little unnatural, "I'm sorry, just now I found the previous inspection report, and found that the part of the rune that detected the bone eater had been removed half a year ago. ”

"Half a year ago? Isn't the city-state rune circle that can't be easily changed? Why are you taking it off? ”

"We didn't change this, but the runic scholars from Craner's side. At that time, he also brought with him a copy of the latest blueprint of the city-state circle......"

"The above suggestion is that the threat of the Bone Eater Mother Worm is only at the level of a second-level calamity, and there is no need to set up a special detection rune."

"What did you change it to?" Alicia stopped to inspect and asked suspiciously.

"It's a detection rune against another abyssal creature," Professor Lin Joya hesitated and said, "It's a rune that detects the Kuroshio Demon." ”

Lacey and Alicia looked at each other and asked, "Do you remember the name and identity of the rune scholar?" And if you want to change it back, is it okay? ”

"There's all that information, but it's harder to change it back."

"Huh? Why? ”

Professor Lin Joya explained: "If you want to change the city-state circle, you must not only get the consent of the Crane side, but also completely stop the operation of the circle......

"So, it can be changed?"

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"As long as you can change it,"

Lacey directly interrupted: "Now those bone eaters have been parasitic on a large scale, and if they don't respond, the entire city-state of Custer will fall into panic." You don't want to see that kind of scene, do you? ”

"Is it already so critical?"

"That's right!"

Professor Lin Joya pondered, "I will respond to the council and the noble committee, and at the same time contact Crane's side to give a solution as soon as possible." ”

"It's better to be like that. In addition, "

Lacey glanced at the scholars present, "Please also try your best to investigate the problems of the circle, you must find all the problems, otherwise you will ......"

"You can rest assured, I promise to fix the problem as soon as possible without affecting the operation of the city-state circle." Lin Qiaoya changed his previous impatience and said solemnly.

"Very well, Alicia, and thank you for it."

"No problem, I'll give it my all."

After speaking, Lacey beckoned to Wayne and the others, signaling to go out.

"Just now, Professor Lin Joya has explained that this city-state magic circle does not have the ability to detect bone eaters, and then the city-state of Karst is in big trouble."

Only then did Wayne know that it wasn't that the runes he checked didn't have the ability to detect bone eaters, but that the entire city-state circle didn't have this ability.

Half a year ago?

Those people laid out all this half a year ago?

Wayne thought of Matteo, the Abyss Sect he ran into in the Slums yesterday, Mitra, the Lovers of Desire in the City That Never Sleeps, and the hint from the panel just now......

At present, he can be sure that the identity of the person who laid out all this must not be simple!

But what is their purpose?

You don't just want to turn the entire city-state of Caster into purgatory, right?

Then he really had to think about running for his life.

Carly said with a worried face, "Sister Lacey, what should I do now?" If it weren't for the power of the city-state's circle, wouldn't it be difficult to find those who were parasitized by the bone eaters? ”

"Let's wait until this inspection is over, or ......" Lacey looked at Wayne and said, "You take Tina back to the Secret Division first, and synchronize the findings here with Yegor." ”

"Come here and let us know as soon as there is a reply from above."

With that, Lacey took out the parchment that recorded the investigation and handed it to him.

"These are the list of suspicious people provided by Lin Joya, you also bring it to Yegor, and ask him to quickly arrange personnel to investigate."

Wayne took the parchment, hesitated for a moment and took the risk to remind, "Captain, the inspection of the circle should be handed over to those scholars, and you and Carly had better stay outside to prevent other accidents." ”

"We don't know those runes," Lacey waved her hand unconcernedly, "No more nonsense, let's get back quickly." ”

Wayne had no choice but to pull Tina and walk outside.

With such a transcendent staring at the circle, he couldn't say anything more, he could only hope that Lacey and the others really couldn't find anything......

It didn't take long for them to follow the guards out of the underground cavern where the core circle was located.

Looking at the backs of the two as they left, Lacey asked, "Carly, do you think Wayne is a little weird?" ”

"No, he didn't seem to think much of me just now, and the captain?"

"Right? He used to glance at me once in a while. Lacey pointed to the bell hanging in front of Carly and said, "And you, too." ”

"Huh?" Two blushes appeared on Carly's face, and she stammered, "Captain, you, you are wrong, I didn't find ......"

"Marco used to be like this, and after a few fights with me, he didn't dare."

Lacey said thoughtfully, "It seems that when this case is over, I will have to find time to fight with Wayne a few times." ”

“……”

Carly had not been exposed to this kind of education in a church school, and it was difficult for her to treat such a thing as Lacey normally, let alone say it.

Gladiatorial ...... Well, come on, Wayne.

……

……

After leaving the small building where the city-state circle was located, Wayne looked left and right, but did not find the mechanical wheel car he was riding in, which seemed to have been used by Yegor's minister's Long March.

"Tina, you just found anything in there?"

"Tina, no."

Tina's expression remained the same, except that she had shaken the clown doll quite more since she left the Secret Division.

The clown doll has two buttoned eyes that are off the line......

Wayne nodded, and said secretly: Even the panel only found the origin of desire, it seems that there should be no other abnormalities here.

"Let's go."

At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of the two men.

A coachman in a cheap dress watched the two take off their hats and salute, "Meet again, Mr. Inquisitor." ”

"Oh, it's you."

Wayne looked at the familiar figure in the carriage, the same coachman who had taken him to the Manor of Serres, oh yes, a Vázquez.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Investigator, do you need me to serve you?"

"I was going to the Dumitru neighborhood."

"Secrets?"

Wayne pulled Tina into the carriage and smiled, "That's right, please hurry, I have something urgent." ”

"No problem."

The coachman took the reins in both hands and turned back to remind, "Please sit tight, Mr. Inquisitor, and this silent lady. ”

As he waved the reins, the two bantams ran toward the Michael, with four strong, short legs.

There are some things in his heart that make Wayne no longer in the mood to talk.

The coachman was also focused on speeding up or slowing down the carriage, and for a moment it seemed that all that was left was the clatter of horses' hooves on the stone pavement.

You are locked by Maciej Kohli's killing intent. Comments: Another poor worm parasitized by bone eaters. Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

【……】

Oh?

Are there even those parasites here?

Wayne looked at the newly added information on the lower panel, and after a glance, his psychic perception spread out to the surrounding area.

30 meters away, man in armor.

100 meters away, a lady with stiff hands and feet.

Distance......

There are also parasites in the estates of those nobles?

Within his perception alone, Wayne spotted more than a dozen parasites, some of them in the manor across the wall.

I didn't expect that even Natoli had parasites here, and the situation in other places was even worse.

Wayne retracted his mental sense, looked thoughtfully at the driver in front of him, and asked, "Have you or your friends encountered anything special lately?" ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Inquisitor?"

"All."

The coachman was silent, then slowed down the carriage, and said in a slightly bitter voice: "Yesterday, three of my acquaintances died at home. ”

"The day before yesterday, there were two. Three days ago, there was a ......"

"Stop," Wayne had to interrupt his count, "what did they all die for?" ”

"Oh, sorry. There's so much going on these days, and my mood is taking a bit of a hit. Although I know very well that I have to stay sober and optimistic if I want to live, ......"

"It's okay, please continue."

"Yesterday's three lived in the Ruhr neighborhood, not far from the Laos neighborhood. They had just moved there, and I gave little Harry a quill......"

"By the time I arrived, all three of them had been beaten to pieces by the city guards, and there was the kind of slime that can corrode people everywhere......"

Wayne listened to his chatter and thought helplessly: compared to most of the people in the city-state of Caster, the living space of these Vasquez people is too bad.

However, he also roughly figured out that most of these people were polluted by the red moon and turned into aberrants and died.

"Is there anyone who looks normal, but behaves or speaks differently than before?"

"Speech, behavior?" The coachman thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of ......."

"A lot?"

"Yes, it seems that in the past ten days, many people who have just moved from the villages in the north to the Laos neighborhood, they have all changed a little."

Wayne's eyes froze, "How many are there?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, but dozens or hundreds of people pass the city-state audit every day."

Speaking of this, the coachman turned to look at him, "Mr. Investigator, you ask this, is there anything that has happened recently?" ”

“…… Indeed," Wayne hesitated and explained briefly, "For the next period of time, I will go out as little as possible." ”

"Out of ...... The same during the day? ”

"Well, during the day."

The coachman was a little distressed, but he still nodded with a wry smile, "I think you're right, there are indeed a few people who go out during the day and come back to change their appearance." ”

"When I ask them, they don't say anything, and the way they look at me is like looking at a piece of raw meat, which makes people scared......"

"Try to keep as little contact with them as possible," Wayne reminded.

Now he can be sure that most of the people who live in or frequented the slums are parasitized by bone eaters.

And according to the driver's answer, this number is at least more than a thousand.

Plus the workers of the Idrissu neighborhood, and the parasites of the other neighborhoods...... Two thousand, three thousand, or four thousand?

In short, it was not far from the five thousand sacrifices that Claire had spoken.

Thinking of this, a chill broke out in Wayne's heart.

If the sacrifice ritual is really completed by the Abyss Sect, a terrifying abyssal creature comparable to a third-level calamity will appear, and the entire city-state may turn into an abyss at that time......

So what should he do?

"Thank you very much for the reminder, Mr. Investigator, I will be hiding at home for a while. Fortunately, when I left the Laos neighborhood before, I found a house with a basement. ”

"Well, be careful."

Wayne nodded, looking at the pedestrians outside the car who looked as usual, talking and laughing, and only felt that today's city-state seemed too quiet.

Didn't yesterday's incident at the factory be published in the newspapers?

"Your destination has arrived, Mr. Investigator." The coachman instructed the bantam to slow down, stopped steadily at the door of the secret division, and said respectfully, "Thank you again for the reminder." ”

"You're welcome."

Wayne pulled out two 1 shillings and placed them in the box he had, "I hope I'll see you next time." ”

"Me too."

Wayne nodded at him, and led Tina into the Secret Division, knocking on the door of Minister Yegor's office.

"Please come in."

Wayne pushed the door open and entered, and saw Yegor holding a quill and signing a very beautiful name on parchment. It's hard to imagine that a rugged man like him could write such a beautiful font.

"Huh? Is there something Lacey wants you to come over and inform me of? ”

When Yegor saw them enter, he guessed that the city-state circle had changed again, and the hideous scar on his face squirmed unconsciously.

"Yes, Minister."

Wayne briefly repeated Professor Linjoya's words, and then took out a list of suspicious people and placed them on the table, "The captain hopes to get the above reply as soon as possible." ”

"Has the rune circle been changed? Oh, I see,"

Yegor frowned and thought for a while, then pointed to the parchment and said, "You take the list back, and you and Marco will go over to investigate first." ”

"Captain Nalaisi is still waiting for a reply, and there is also a magic circle......"

"Don't worry about the affairs of the circle, the higher-level will evaluate it." Yegor waved his hand, "Go and get busy with you." ”

Wayne hesitated, wanting to remind him that someone was secretly watching the circle, and that the Desire Sect was eroding and polluting the circle, but he didn't say anything.

And he really couldn't find the right reason to tell the truth.

But since Yegor has said so, I think the secret department should know the urgency of this matter, or do they know who is behind it?

Thinking of this, Wayne picked up the parchment and pulled Tina out of the office with him.

When he pushed open the door to an office, he found Marco and Lydia looking through the case files they had investigated.

However, looking at the disgusted expressions on both of their faces, I think it was after a "friendly" exchange.

"Wayne, you're back, Lacey?"

"Encounter a little situation,"

Wayne walked over and explained Yegor's arrangement, pointing to the two names on the parchment, "One is a student at Custer School, and the other is a professor at a church school. ”

"Leave it to you, student, and I'll take Lydia to the professor."

Marco asked Lydia to record the professor's message, "How's the situation on the captain's side?" ”

"Some have found that the runes that detect the Bone Eater have been changed, and some of the rune nodes have not been activated."

"So serious? It seems that yesterday's captain's guess was correct. ”

"Well," Wayne nodded, "it's a little worse than expected. ”

"Then let's get out and try to get back the results before we get off work. It's best to find the person who does the tricks, and it will also save a lot of trouble. ”

With that, Wayne took Tina with him and left the Secret Division with Marko.

At the door, four people rushed to different positions, one left and one right.

The young scholar of rune literature, Willam Fries, was a student of Professor Linjoya, had just graduated from Custer College and lived alone at 21 Ruhr Quarter......

Wayne looked at the information in his hand, the west side of the Ruhr block, not far away.

……

……

At the same time, never sleeps in the city.

"Next door, there seem to be a lot of people coming." Mitra sits at her desk in a tulle skirt, looming off a large piece of beauty.

"I already know."

A slightly magnetic voice rang out, but there was no one else in the room except Mitra.

"Do you need me to pause the erosion of the totem first?"

"Huh? Haven't you stopped it yet? ”

The corners of Mitra's mouth turned up, and she said with a smile: "Without your order, I don't dare to act at will." ”

“…… Please, stop it quickly. Although Xia Di is staring, it is best not to be noticed, and it saves him from cleaning up again. ”

"Yes, my lovely lord."

"Mitra,"

The owner of that voice was not happy with her respect, and said slightly threateningly, "I hope you don't do anything superfluous." ”

"Your Excellency, you're too worried."

"Hmph, I'll tell you what to do next when those people leave."

"It's all your will."

“！”

When Mitra saw him leave, she stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers, and saw a half-human-tall statue appear in front of her out of thin air.

The statue was a terrifying spider, with six stout, barbed legs supporting its massive body.

A belly resembling a bee's tail dragged at the bottom, and several small spiders emerged from it, as if they had just been born.

The upper body of the statue is humanoid, but it is made up of countless twisted tentacles that go up to its neck.

And on its face, there are four mouths, one on the other, giving people the feeling of having several extra layers of chin.

But its eyes are unusually charming, like the upper half of the head of the most beautiful girl, and its long hair hangs down to the end......

Mitra stared at the statue in front of her and pouted unconsciously, no matter how many times she looked at it, she felt that its image was really ugly.

……

……

In less than twenty minutes, Wayne was taking Tina to the Ruhr neighborhood.

On the way, he bought two newspapers, a Castel parliament newspaper and a union newspaper.

But until the end, he couldn't find a word about parasites in the dozen or so newspapers.

Only then did Wayne realize that it was no wonder that the people in the city-state were doing business as usual, it turned out that they didn't know what happened yesterday in the neighborhood of Idrisu.

It seemed extremely abnormal, and it made him feel very reasonable.

What is abnormal is that the city-state high-level did not increase the number of people to check the location of the parasite, and the reasonable thing is that the relevant reports were not published, so as to avoid panic among the city-state residents.

It's just that things like this are a bit undesirable to cover your ears and steal the bell.

Wayne rubbed his forehead, smoothing out the frowning brow.

There was still too little information to deduce the intentions of the councils of the city-states, the councils of the nobility, the various authorities, and the churches.

It is even more unclear that there is a secret behind this matter.

"Let's take one step at a time, it's a big deal......"

Wayne sighed and followed the information on the parchment to find the young scholar's residence—a small two-story building.

[You are scanned by Polson Heikmey's psychic perception.] Comment: Be careful. Reward: +2 survival points. 】

Well?

Psychic perception, careful?

It was the first time Wayne had seen someone who had just been swept by psychic power and asked the panel to prompt 'be careful'.

Usually, when it is locked by the opponent's killing intent, such words will appear on the panel.

Poulson......

Hmm, where do you think you've heard that name?

Wayne pondered for a moment, was he? A member of the Abyss Sect?

He has not been in this world for long, and he has not been in contact with many people and names.

Thinking back briefly, he remembered that last night when he was exchanging information with people in the Nightmare Tower, someone said that "Poulsen, a member of the Abyss Sect, traveled from the Western Continent to the Northern Continent to find the Prophet".

Abyss Sect...... It seems that it is really possible that it is the family of the Abyss Sect.

Wayne looked left and right, this place was still three streets away from the place where the bone-eater mother worm was found yesterday, and even the golden street was closer than Laos.

It is reasonable for the dependant to appear not far from here...... What a.

The distance in a straight line is more than ten kilometers, unless ......

Wayne thought of a possibility, and was even more flustered in his heart, no, no, don't scare yourself, how can there be such a coincidence.

Then, he knocked on the door quietly, and his mental perception reached into the room.

Anyway, it's better to finish the investigation task first and leave quickly.

Since the other party is not locked with killing intent, don't mess with yourself, so as not to attract the attention of the other party again.

Well?

Blocked from perception?

Wayne frowned, wouldn't he be so unlucky?

It is possible for a young scholar who is proficient in runic literature to set up a spiritual power shielding circle at home, but it is definitely not an expense that an ordinary family living in the Ruhr neighborhood can afford.

Maybe, maybe, should, he hit the jackpot!

Squeak.

At this point, the door was opened from the inside.

A tall, thin young man in a black robe, with black hair standing disheveled, and a pair of brass-rimmed glasses, looked blankly at him and Tina.

"You, Inquisitor? Came to me? ”

"Mr. William?"

"It's me, and you're really looking for me," Willam looked at them and asked with a puzzled expression, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Go in and say?"

Wayne knew that there was a magic circle in this room that shielded the spiritual perception, and he happened to avoid the perception of that Poolson.

"Please, please come in."

Willam hurriedly moved out of the way, and when Wayne came in, he closed the door and squeezed out a smile, "Excuse me, what can I do to help you." ”

Wayne glanced around, it was a very ordinary arrangement, there was only a table and four chairs on the first floor, a simple storage cabinet in the corner, and kitchen facilities on the other side.

"To put it simply, there is something wrong with the rune circle, and I need to find out the situation from you."

"Huh? Something went wrong with the circle? What's the problem, did the teacher ask you to come to me? ”

William's eyes widened in surprise, the thick lenses made his eyes look a little bigger.

"Sit down and talk,"

Wayne pulled Tina to the table and sat down, beckoning, "You need to go to Professor Lin Joya for specific questions, I have a few questions for you." ”

"You say, you say."

William sat across from them, his gaze unconsciously drawn to Tina, and a little horror flashed in his eyes.

"That's right, the city-state circle has been manipulated, and some of the rune nodes have no effect. Do you know about this? ”

"Are there any rune nodes that are active? Is it the core rune, or something else? If it's something else, that is, those rune nodes that are not on the high platform, they are not activated in real time, but only appear in the city-state......"

"Core runes," Wayne interrupted.

Viliam was stunned, "Impossible! No matter which of the core rune nodes is not enabled, the entire circle will not be able to take effect, unless the entire circle is tampered with. ”

"But that would require the circle to be deactivated, and it would take at least a few days, so it would be impossible for no one to find out......"

All tampered with?

Wayne retrieved this knowledge of runes in his mind, and found that the content was exactly what Willyam had described.

Is it possible to modify the city-state circle without stopping it?

Well?

As his question arose, the knowledge of runes automatically gave him the answer.

The first is to change the rune pattern in a very short period of time to bypass the rune nodes. It should be noted that the new runic circle must conform to the principle of unity of the circle.

The second is to use the isolation circle to block out that part of the rune nodes, and then modify it. Need attention......

The third is ......

Wayne looked at the dozen or so standard answers that came to mind, and the muscles in his head jumped.

, since there is such a method, why can't I modify the runes without stopping the magic circle?

This is the rule of the rune circle formulated by Hector Tru, a top scholar of rune literature, in 1148 of the Third Age, out of the principle of rigor.

Wayne: "......"

What's more, academic experts are very harmful.

"What's the problem? Mr. Investigator? Viliam noticed his wandering look.

"No, nothing."

Wayne shook his head and continued to ask, "Second question, during the time you were working in the city-state circle, did you find anything unusual?" ”

"Anomaly, hmm, what do you mean?"

"Whether someone behaves abnormally, such as asking to stay on duty, or offering to take a break at an unreasonable time, etc."

Viliam thought for a moment, "No, everyone is quite normal, and they all do their jobs according to the rules. ”

"What about you?"

"Me? Me neither...... Well? Mr. Inquisitor, do you suspect that I have manipulated the city-state formation? ”

"What do you say? Isn't it suspicious that you've just entered the work there and there is a problem with the circle? Wayne asked, staring into his eyes.

I always feel that there is something wrong with the young man in front of me......

Although he wears thick glasses, his eyes are not as dull as those of myopia, but rather bright and clear.

Moreover, his hair was messy, but his body was very clean, at least from his neck.

"No, it's not me, I don't."

Willam waved his hand again and again, and said with a panicked face: "Mr. Investigator, I have only been there for a few days, and I haven't even started to contact the magic circle......"

"Didn't get started?" Wayne's face turned cold, "Your teacher, Professor Lin Joya didn't say that, you're lying!" ”

"......" William opened his mouth, looking incredulous.

[You are being scanned by Reinhardt Tania's psychic perception.] Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

Well??

Wayne's eyes changed slightly, there is a rune array here that shields spiritual perception, and it is impossible for people outside to perceive him, so there is only ......

He, Reinhardt?

I didn't expect to cheat casually, but I really found something.

"So, how are you going to explain the work thing?"

Viliam, no, it should have been the surprise on Reinhardt's face that slowly subsided, raised his hand to take off his glasses, and looked at him calmly.

"That's right, the city-state circle is indeed my hands and feet......"

Click.

Wayne instantly pulled out his musket and put it at his head, and motioned to the white-haired girl on the side, "Tina, you get out of the way." ”

"Tina, yes."

Tina stood behind him with the clown doll in her arms, poking her head out and staring at Reinhardt with her empty eyes.

"Mr. Inquisitor, you are really ...... I'm just a normal person, I don't have to be that way. ”

"Ordinary people can't replace other people's identities." Wayne said coldly.

"Replacement?" Reinhardt was stunned for a moment, "How do you see that?" ”

"So, where is the real Willyam?"

Reinhardt didn't answer when he saw him, and he didn't care, and even looked at the musket in his hand with interest, "This is the standard weapon of the secret department, right?" Very well made......"

Bang.

Wayne shot decisively.

A bullet slashed through Reinhardt's ear and struck the storage cabinet behind him.

"Well, this gun is a little louder, it can be improved."

Wayne looked at him still calm and asked, "Aren't you going to answer my question?" ”

Reinhardt smiled, "As you said, I took the place of Willam and took the opportunity to change some of the rune cores. ”

"What else?"

"No, that's all I have to do."

"Task? Who gave you the task? Wayne frowned, he was one step closer to the truth.

Reinhardt looked at him with a smirk, "I can't tell you, if you say it, the game won't be fun." ”

"Sect of Despair?" Wayne stared into his eyes and casually uttered a name.

"What's that?"

"Red Moon Church?"

"What are these for, you ask?" Reinhardt looked at him puzzled.

"Sect of Desire?"

Wayne saw his fingers move subconsciously, but there was no change on his face.

Well?

Isn't he even a member of the Desire Sect?

"Abyss Sect?"

Well?

The pupils constricted.

Are you from the Abyss Sect?!

Wayne's heart was shocked, and he suddenly thought that if Reinhardt was a member of the Abyss Sect, then the spiritual perception he had just encountered at the door ......

Not good!

"Follow me back to the Secretarial Division."

"I'm not going anywhere, Mr. Inquisitor." Reinhardt didn't know that he was exposed, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you seem to know, just those few questions?" ”

"Ask again, can you go?"

"Don't go."

Bang.

Wayne shot decisively.

Wayne looked at the black-masked man who appeared in front of Reinhardt in an instant, and a sweat slowly dripped down to the ground.
