Chapter 77: The person coming from the headquarters
is an investigator from the Springs Investigation Bureau headquarters sent to support Burrenwich?
In Ronald's mind, he instantly recalled what he had just read in the book.
Just like Alida once said.
——Where the number of humans reaches a certain level, the number of [seeds] possessing knowledge must be controlled.
This situation causes a problem.
When an official agency like this encounters a shortage of manpower, they don't dare to be too presumptuous in seeking help from colleagues in other regions, because once the number of people coming to support increases, the number of [seeds] reaches the threshold.
It won't be long before the alienation of the world comes.
Even if they use the gap period before the alienation of the world to prepare a plan for flexible movement of personnel, this is too dangerous for them.
The next second, Ronald realized something again.
The man who took the lead among the five and walked up to him, the Mr. Willard he called,
wasn't the investigator who just left yesterday?
Ronald was not busy explaining. He looked at the other person carefully first.
Different from the investigative investigator wearing a wide coat and hat from Burrenwich, the man in front of him was wearing a suit and tie and was dressed like a salesman. Although the words he asked were quite polite, the indifference in his eyes was not hidden at all.
Showing a formulaic smile towards the headquarters investigator in front of him, Ronald nodded politely.
"Please wait a moment."
"I need to inform the management of the bureau."
"Hurry up."
The frowning expression was impatient, but the guy still nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Ronald reached out and pulled a ring under the counter.
In less than half a minute, Ms. Mapel, who heard Ronald pulling the bell, ran down the stairs.
When she walked down the stairs, she looked up and saw someone coming.
Mapel's expression changed.
After a few seconds of silence, she continued:
"Spencer, why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?"
The leading male investigator raised his eyebrows.
Regarding Ms. Mapel's unwelcoming attitude, this guy just asked a simple question, and then raised the question more directly: "
After the situation in Burrenwich was reported, today we represent Springs From the General Administration."
"Do you understand?"
"I want to talk to Willard now."
"Compared with you, a guy who is willing to degenerate into the personnel department and do some boring things, we who are struggling in the first place are Investigators on the front line are partners who share a common language."
"."
Mapel was silent.
She stood there with an ugly face for nearly ten seconds, but she still didn't open her mouth to refute.
A few more breaths passed.
She moved her steps, ready to turn around and go to the back of the first floor to look for Willard.
As Spencer said, compared to himself as a civilian, Willard, who has been solving mysterious incidents on the spot in the past few years, may be the best person to negotiate with.
But at this moment, Ronald suddenly spoke:
"Ms. Mapel, please wait a moment."
"Someone left a note for you at the front desk."
As he said this, Ronald took down the note he made yesterday from under the counter. The good note was torn off, briefly folded in half and handed to Ms. Mapel.
After taking the piece of paper, Mapel immediately opened it and took a look.
Although Ronald's handwriting was rather sloppy, she could barely make out the words above.
"."
——The eyes changed from doubt to solemnity;
——From solemnity to determination;
——Finally, from determination to the eyes of a person who takes responsibility.
"Thank you, Ronald."
He folded the piece of paper and stuffed it into his pocket as if nothing had happened. Mapel looked up at the man in front of him.
"Willard is not with the headquarters for the time being."
"Spencer, whether you want it or not, you'd better talk to me now."
"I know much more about Burrenwich than you do."
Spencer immediately said in a perfunctory tone with a dissatisfied tone:
"You are a clerical worker, I have nothing to say to you."
"How could there be nothing to say!"
This time, Mapel interrupted before the other party could finish speaking.
Taking a step forward with an imposing manner, she said in the same tone of voice:
"I am the current head of the Burrenwich Investigation Bureau."
"If you don't want to, you can go and ask Hood for instructions. ."
"I remember that when you came this time, you also had to install that thing called a radio here. Isn't that troublesome?" "."
This
time, it was Spencer's turn to be silent.
He did not respond to questions from Mapel.
Weighing his personal emotions against the orders issued by his boss in the Investigation Bureau, he finally nodded with an ugly expression.
"Okay, let's go up and talk."
"Ronald, you go and watch here."
Giving Ronald an encouraging look, Miss Mapel then took away five people from Spring. Investigator at Sri Lanka headquarters.
Hearing a group of people disappearing down the stairs, and a deep voice coming from above.
Ronald's expression remained normal, scratching his head as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He took out less than half of the books he had just read from the bottom of the cabinet.
——Just keep reading.
Compared with the grievances and hatreds of the Investigation Bureau, it seems to be more interesting to read.
He, Ronald, is a book lover!
Continuing to read the previous content, "Basic Occult Knowledge" did not bring him much help.
Except for the previous understanding of the nature of the world and the existence of the original scriptures.
Most of the following are the records of what this warlock saw and heard when he was hunted down by the church.
It was a time when occult knowledge was poorly communicated and information was scarce.
Special agents united by faith and trained since childhood, after forming a secret crusade organization called the Punisher, their hunt for the mysterious side is absolutely deadly.
Therefore, the following content basically teaches people how to avoid being pursued by church members, as well as techniques for escaping under extreme circumstances.
After flipping through it again, Ronald shook his head and put down the book.
As far as he knows so far, the current church has lost the momentum of the dark days where it would burn a wizard to death if he caught it.
This was an era when royal power far outweighed divine power, and the church had evolved into a force under official rule.
The content behind "Basic Occult Knowledge".
It has no effect on him.
Changing to another "Recommended for Beginner Investigators", Ronald started a new reading.
Then the first page of the chapter made him laugh out loud.
"Hahahahahaha"
"What the hell!"
On the first page of "Recommendations for Novice Investigators", there are also tips from the writer.
This is what he wrote:
——Professional investigators do not need to comply with any regulations.
——Only an idiot who dies in a mysterious incident would leave the last words "I did it according to the instructions written in the guide" while watching the ticker of life!
