Chapter 102 Baba, it stinks! !
Wayne went out holding a black umbrella, followed by the zombie lady. It was still early before work, so he went to the high-end store he visited yesterday to buy some ingredients.
"Welcome, sir, female... um, madam."
The waiter in a black and white coat opened the door respectfully, his eyes lingering on Sharapova's face intentionally or unintentionally.
It's such a shame that such a slender, well-behaved lady is blind...and also bears obvious signs of abuse.
Wei En didn't pay attention to his expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have given him a lightning bolt to clear his mind.
He was making breakfast arrangements with great interest.
A few unknown eggs.
potato? Get a bag.
This is a piece of deep-sea snowfish meat. It’s only 10 shillings for such a big size. Get a piece and try it...
There’s also barley bread. It’s not the hard-as-a-stone kind of black bread, but something like toast. In the store’s name, it’s seaweed. manage.
Together with some condiments and cooking oil, the total cost was 1 gold pound and 12 shillings.
Wai En readily paid and let Miss Zombie carry the things, while he continued to hold the umbrella and returned to the Golden Street.
"It looks like it's going to rain all the time today."
"I don't like it if it rains."
She held large and small bags in both hands and carefully hid her body under the umbrella to prevent the rain from getting the new pair she was wearing. skirt.
Those pale eyes kept looking at the feet to avoid tripping on the uneven stone road.
"Does it also rain in the world of the undead?"
"Yes, red."
Wei En was stunned for a moment, "Blood?"
"Well, every time it rains, there will be a lot of... standing down there, I don't like it. ."
"Why?"
"Will advance."
Advance?
Wei En asked tentatively: "...is this the kind of promotion I understand?"
"Well," Sharapova lowered her head, "After promotion, they will leave the hills and go to the bigger hills to kill and devour , or be killed."
A hill, a bigger hill...
For a moment, Wei En stopped asking about the landforms of the world of the dead, "Then you will do the same, devour?" "
Well, I kill and devour, no. Will be killed."
"Then you are quite powerful."
"In the mountains, I am the strongest."
Why does it still sound a little arrogant?
"Awesome, awesome," Wei En inexplicably thought of those mountain kings who dominated the mountains. He didn't expect that the zombie lady could still dominate one side.
"Then why don't you advance to a bigger mountain or a hill?"
Sharapova shook her head, "I don't want to die." "
..."
These words came from the mouth of a zombie, which was quite fresh.
However, Wei En has figured out her thoughts and just wants to be the strongest in the mountain.
If she wanted to advance to other mountains, she would have to start climbing from the foot of the mountain, which was too dangerous.
"Then you still remember your life...I mean the memory before you went to the world of the dead?"
"I don't remember."
Hearing this question, Miss Zombie looked at him straight in the eyes, as if wondering how he could do this. All questions can be asked.
Wei En said nonchalantly, "Don't mind, I'm just curious."
"Yeah."
But no matter what questions he asked for the next time, Sawa stopped talking.
After returning to the residence in silence, Ms. Zombie dropped her things and went back to her room, locking the door...
Wayne scratched his head. It seems that Miss Zombie still cares about the memory of her life?
But soon, he put it behind him and focused on preparing a sumptuous breakfast.
Fried fish fillets, fried eggs, fried... It should be fried potato chips.
Paired with some special sauces, it tastes surprisingly good.
This made Wayne decide to take some potato chips to the secret blending department when he went to work later.
"Or, bring some for Tina."
Thinking of this, Wayne also prepared a copy for Lacey and the others, so that everyone can share the good stuff.
In the few days he had been at the secret blending department, he had gotten to know the tastes of several other people.
Lacey likes barbecue very much, especially the chewy meat tendons.
Marco has a great sweet tooth and especially likes to eat everything with cheese, which, as he puts it, feels like a kiss.
Tina usually has some strong and strange food, so I won’t describe it in detail.
Of course, he didn't forget about the newly hired Carly. If it were calmer, she would probably like it.
Soon, Wei En prepared one for each of them and stored it in the space ring.
Seeing that the time came to ten o'clock, Wei En packed up his things, dressed neatly and went out. During this period, he said goodbye to Sharapova, but still did not receive any response... "Help, how should I coax my little zombie if it makes him angry?
" ?"
Wei En sighed. I am afraid that most wizards would give him the answer to this question - dismantle it.
"Good morning, Wayne."
"Good morning."
Carly has been busy ever since the red moon disappeared.
But being helpless for those injured patients put a touch of sadness on her face.
"Let's go to the Secret Adjustment Department first. Maybe Sister Lacey has a way to cure them."
Wei En knew the reason for her bad mood. To be honest, he didn't expect so many people to be blinded by the giant beast of the deep sea last night.
For four hours, as many as a hundred people came to Morris Clinic for help, and people came to the door from several nearby streets.
"Secret Adjustment Department? Come on, let's go, I want to ask Captain Lacey."
Carly's eyes lit up, her face became energetic, she took Wayne's hand and ran towards the golden street.
[You are targeted by Melbell Osiris’ murderous intent. Comment: Gee, holding hands is risky. Reward: Survival Points +3. ]
Wei En curled his lips secretly, is it because I don’t want to let go?
It is obvious that your Saintess is too strong, so I can only hold her soft palm tightly.
In fact, Carly's strength was smaller than that time at Krims Cathedral.
It may also be that now that Wei En's toughness level has been raised to 112, the gap with her basic attributes has become smaller.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Secret Adjustment Department.
As soon as they arrived at the office, they saw Lacey and Tina, both wearing casual clothes, sitting in front of their respective desks, lying lazily.
Lacey was stunned for a moment when she saw them pushing the door open, "Wayne, Carly? Why are you two here?"
Wayne looked at her doubtfully, "No, are you at work?" Lacey
patted his forehead and said awkwardly : "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. According to the rules of the Secret Adjustment Department, you don't come to work when it rains."
Wei En: "..."
Such an important matter can actually be discussed earlier...
However, since If you don't go to work, why would they come?
"Well... you guys came just in time, I have a case to go to. Originally I planned to take Tina with me, but now I'd better ask Carly to go with me." Lacey then looked at Wayne and said: "In addition, yesterday's
case , the war department has also taken care of it. Just take Tina over to finish it off."
"Oh, okay."
Carly was more concerned about another thing, "Sister Lacey, many people lost their sight last night, as if they did so after seeing a huge monster. You know what to do? How to treat it?"
"There is no way," Lacey shook his head, "It was not a simple injury, but a very special curse." "A curse
?"
"Well, this is what Yegor told me, Let us avoid that monster as soon as we see it in the future, otherwise the curse will directly make your eyes disappear." "...Is there really
no way to solve it?"
"No," Lacey hesitated. "But the conditions for healing are too harsh and are almost impossible to complete."
"What conditions?"
"You need the blood of that monster. Just apply its blood to the eyes, and the curse can be lifted and returned to normal."
At this point, Lacey paused, "According to Yegor, that monster is very terrifying. Its strength is comparable to a level three disaster, and it is enough to destroy the entire city of Custer." "So, even if you know the method, you can't do anything about it
. Heal those people."
"That's it..." Carly was a little disappointed.
"Okay, let's try it while you are all here." Wayne took out a few packets of potato chips from the ring and gave one packet to all three of them.
"Oh? What is this?" Lacey picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth.
Click click click.
"It tastes great!" "As long as you like it..."
Carly also tasted it, and the slightly sweet sauce made her feel a lot better.
Only Tina didn't react much, but she replaced the biscuits with potato chips and stuffed them into the mouth of the clown doll one by one.
[You have indirect contact with forbidden object 1-83 Demon Clown, and your fate has changed to a certain extent. The current encounter progress is 65/100. Evaluation: Well, it suits the taste of the clown guy... maybe?
Special rewards: Survival Points +5, Origin +1, Resilience Level +1, Spirit Level +1. 】
Is this okay? ?
When Wei En saw this prompt message, he thought without tears: Does this count as shooting himself in the foot?
...
...
As the rain became heavier and heavier, Wayne and Tina had no choice but to take a carriage to the Basil neighborhood.
The sound of rain hitting the roof of the carriage also made Wayne give up the idea of talking to the coachman. He just sat in the carriage and read the letters of Wizard Jerry.
Before going out in the morning, he had completed a design drawing of the mechanical puppet.
Before the production started, he wanted to find some insights from Wizard Jerry on the design drawings of the mechanical puppet from the manuscript.
But after looking through it for a long time, he couldn't find any useful information.
The whole article is about "Is this possible here? I'm such a genius", or "I'm such a genius that I can think of such a design" and the like.
As for what kind of design it was, the genius Jerry didn't mention a word, and just threw out a complete drawing of the mechanical puppet at the end...
Looking at the contents of such a handbook, it doesn't matter whether you can learn anything, just the narcissism, He must first have strong self-control.
Otherwise, I'm really worried that I will be irritated and tear the entire notebook into pieces!
"Sir, your destination has arrived."
Wei En got out of the car first and opened his umbrella before letting Tina come down holding the clown doll.
He didn't dare to let the white-haired girl drag the clown with him anymore. With the taboo's bad character, it was hard to say that he wouldn't be able to make more progress.
"Look, two young ominous men."
"They can only be found in city-states. When they reach the sea, they will hum." "
I'm sorry, Mr. Octopus, you hurt our crew, we want to arrest you hahaha …”
“…”
Listening to the harsh sounds around him, Wayne frowned. He glanced around and saw that they were all sailors with rough builds and obviously tanned skin.
Why do you feel like there are so many more people here than the last time you came with Marco?
[You are scanned by Severin Camara's mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. ]
[...]
[You are scanned by Alejandro West's mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
Wayne didn't say anything, he calmly took Tina's hand and walked towards a pub in the middle of Basil Block.
On both sides of the road, dozens or hundreds of sailors gathered in twos and threes. When they saw the two people leaving as if they didn't hear what they said, they couldn't help laughing.
"Boring, people in the city-state are all so weak."
"Sevi, you can't expect them to be used to blood and fighting like us. They...well."
Ka.
The proud sailor felt a cold touch on his head. At the same time, he who had been active at sea all year round also felt the familiar danger of being targeted by sea monsters... "What's behind?" Wei En
held
Tina with one hand, and the other Holding a musket in one hand, he put it against his forehead and asked coldly: "They...oh no, it must be us. What happened?"
Crash, crash.
Before the sailor could speak, the surrounding sailors who saw this situation took out their weapons, guns or swords, and stared at Wei En with cold eyes.
The leading person pushed away the crowd and looked up and down, "This, um, Mr. Investigator of the Secret Investigation Department, please put down your weapon. He is just joking with you." "Well... if you are willing
. , I apologize on his behalf."
[You are targeted with murderous intent by Collins Vazquez. Rating: Survival points +3. 】
【……】
[You are targeted by Erno Vázquez’s murderous intent. Rating: Survival points +3. ]
Wei En turned his head and glanced at him, then slowly put away his musket, "There's no need to apologize. In fact, I was joking too." No wonder there were
a few weird glances from the beginning that made him very concerned. It turned out to be They... seem to have to be more careful.
I thought that Collins and the others had left Custer City State after yesterday, but they didn't expect that not only did they not leave, they also hid here.
The sailor, who was obviously capable, saluted respectfully, "Thank you very much for your understanding." "
However, this is a city-state after all, not on the sea. What is needed is not only courage and blood, but also etiquette and noble qualities."
" What you said is that I will restrain them."
Wayne nodded, he had got the answer he wanted, turned around and continued walking towards the tavern with Tina.
Although only one day has passed, his strength has improved by quite a bit. If Collins and the others really come to attack him... there may be a surprise.
"Do you want to do something? He is still alone." Erno looked at Wei En's back coldly and asked.
Collins shook his head, "No, this is a critical period. It affects 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 The two also wanted to kill Wei En.
"Boss, why didn't you take action just now? He was alone, and he had someone holding him back. I..."
Snap!
Before he could finish speaking, the head seaman slapped him and shouted: "I told you, I have to keep a low profile when I go to Custer this time. Do you want to be... fed to fish?" "No, no, me.
"
"Go back and stay here!"
"..."
Wei En heard some of the reaction behind him. It seemed that these people came to Custer not by chance.
Is it from the Black Pearl?
Or another group of people?
If it's the former, then he has to look down upon the Black Pearl. There are no powerful people who can call out like that.
If it's the latter, there's obviously nothing good going on...
But what does it have to do with him? He is just an ordinary investigator in the Custer City State and an even more ordinary intelligence officer of the Ghost School.
Thinking like this, Wei En soon took Tina to the tavern where the case was located - Snow.
The hot girls at the door saw the two of them, and they all came up to them enthusiastically, "Sir, do you want to come in and play? It's not expensive, it's a good life and it's affordable." "Yes, you and
this... uh, miss, We can come together..."
Wei En opened his clothes and coat, and flashed his musket, "Let's handle yesterday's case." "
It's bad luck, it will affect what we do..."
After seeing the musket, those enthusiastic ladies walked away consciously. , with a face full of disgust.
"Tina, it's a good job, what?"
Wei En looked at Tina, who had a cold face, and was speechless for a moment: "This is a good job, probably because the food in this pub is of better quality." "Tina knows
, clown, it's good Live."
Wayne: "..."
That's okay. I hope Mr. Clown will think he's complimenting him when he hears this...
"Mr. Investigator, you're here, come with me quickly."
The tavern owner saw the two men . After the people came in, he led them into the tavern, chattering incessantly.
"You people from the Secret Mixing Department are really too much. Not only did you break the contents inside, but you also smashed that damn mutant. There are disgusting things everywhere..." The polite smile on
Wei En's face only made it clear that Keep it up until you open the stinking room.
This dark and damp room was filled with a strong rotten smell, and there were crushed corpses, green slime and twisted tentacles everywhere.
The surrounding walls were covered with cracks and dark red bloodstains, like traces left by being torn apart by a huge force. It was obvious that these were not left by these tentacles.
"I finally understand why Lacey keeps calling the people in the war department crazy..."
The tavern owner just glanced at him, retched and said "You guys are busy" and ran out.
[When you discover the origin that can be swallowed, should you use the soul-eating spell? 】
Huh?
When Wei En saw this message, he didn't expect that he could still swallow the source?
That would be easy to pack up.
With this in mind, he motioned for Tina to wait outside the door, facing this horrific and bloody scene alone.
[You use the Devouring Soul Spell to devour the origin of the aberration, and your origin will be improved. Comment: I'm curious, what does it taste like? Special reward: Origin +0.01. 】
"Baba, it stinks!!"
Wei En didn't pay attention to the painful expressions of the little Assi. Sons must learn to be patient if they want to grow up.
But——
0.01 point of origin? so little? ?
I remember that the last time I devoured those undead creatures, the minimum was 0.1 point of source power, and the maximum was like Ognyan directly providing 1 point of source power.
"Either it's because the origin has dissipated after death for too long, or because there are relatively few origins of aberrations, and..." There is
still only one chapter today...
I wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, um, stay safe.
In addition, the monthly ticket has reached 500, and I owe 3 chapters... woo woo woo.
