Chapter 288 A knock on the door early in the morning
. A calm life.
Maybe he and Ronald were destined to miss each other...
On a very normal day, Ronald had just received the book sent by Mu Li and was about to open it.
As a result, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Bang, bang, bang -
then, the big witch's voice, which was slightly more urgent than usual, sounded outside the door:
"Ronald, I want to go out."
"Are you okay?"
Put the books in your hands into the cabinet , Ronald immediately stood up and replied:
"I have no problem."
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the footsteps of the great witch walking towards the stairs were heard outside the door.
Hearing this movement, Ronald frowned.
From the time she came to the Springs, except when she first registered her identity, the Great Witch had almost always stayed at home and had no such outings at all.
Just forget about your unusual behavior today.
The tone and movements are actually so urgent?
wrong.
She must have noticed something!
Realizing this, Ronald crossed the living room in two steps, pulled the coat off the hanger, grabbed it in his hand, and walked out.
While chasing down the stairs.
Ronald straightened his clothes and put them on, and at the same time asked the great witch below:
"Ms. Teresa, why are you so anxious today?"
"Did something happen?"
After all, the great witch still has the body of an elderly person.
Although he was in a hurry, he was quickly caught up with Ronald behind him.
So she nodded slightly towards Ronald and explained in a low voice:
"Something seems to have happened in the city. We'd better go and take a look."
Recognizing the meaning of the big witch's words, Ronald emphasized his pronunciation and confirmed again:
"You mean, people like 'us'?"
The big witch nodded immediately:
"That's right."
Needless to say, the two of them walked down the stairs through the courtyard, left the apartment door and went straight to the streets of the riverside area.
It's still morning now.
Except for Ronald and the other two, there weren't many people on the street.
It was in this environment that a middle-aged man in a brown coat approached them.
Looking up at the big witch and Ronald, he immediately said:
"Mr. Ronald, what are you..." "
..."
However, before he was halfway out of his words, the big witch interrupted the man. Speech:
"Listen, prepare the carriage immediately."
"We have something urgent to deal with!" "
..."
Looking at the investigators in front of her, the big witch spoke in an unceremonious tone, almost no different from a direct order. .
And facing the attitude of the original holder.
The investigator who came for questioning also immediately expressed his position.
Standing firmly on the spot, even though the leaders of the Twelve Witches were in front of him, he still answered unwaveringly: "I'm sorry,
Ms. Teresa."
"If you need a carriage, please tell me The reason you need."
"Of course we will have due respect for you, but this does not mean that we will unconditionally meet any of your requests. After all, the 'power company' is responsible for the safety of the entire city." "...
"
Although I usually try my best to meet the requirements of the great witch.
But in the final analysis, it was all a policy adopted to stabilize the great miko from causing trouble. When the other party actually proposed to move freely in the city, the investigator's position was still very firm.
Even under the pressure of the powerful figure like the Great Witch who has been in power for a long time.
The investigator who confronted him showed no sign of wavering in his actions or expression.
"..."
At this time, I can only come forward to smooth things over on my own.
Standing beside the two of them, Ronald sighed inaudibly.
He serves as a buffer point between the Investigation Bureau and the Great Witch, so it is natural that he needs to speak now.
However, the big witch's movements were much faster than Ronald expected.
When her request was rejected, the great witch only hesitated for a breath, and immediately nodded slightly to the investigator: "Sir, I
hope you don't misunderstand me."
"I just felt that there was something in the city. Some guys are fighting. After all, this is the purpose of my coming to Springs this time. You won’t hinder me, right?” Is
this...
the great witch bowing her head?
Ronald, who was standing aside and just about to speak, felt a little complicated.
He originally thought that the two would confront each other and even intensify the conflict, but he did not expect that it was the big witch who took the initiative to bow her head. For a person of her status, opening her mouth to explain is tantamount to admitting her concession.
Such a decisive and quick choice.
Should we admire her decision or be surprised by her concession?
Of course, Ronald's thoughts will not affect the two people talking.
After the big witch took the initiative to give in, the middle-aged investigator did not continue to look for trouble. After all, the Great Witch entered the Springs according to formal procedures, and he had no reason to stop her.
Nodding with satisfaction, the investigator took two steps back and then gestured toward the street with one hand.
At the corner of the street, a carriage that had been prepared came to them immediately.
He turned sideways and raised his hand towards the carriage.
When he spoke again, the middle-aged investigator's tone became much gentler:
"This is our [power company's] carriage. You two can use it as you like."
"Of course, please try not to damage it as much as possible."
The big witch then nodded in response. , and then walked towards the carriage:
"Okay."
He exchanged glances with the middle-aged investigator.
Ronald then followed the big witch.
Under the watchful eye of the investigator, the two got into the carriage together.
After sitting on the seats of the carriage, the big witch said to the coachman straightforwardly:
"Sir, take us to the beach in the White Sands District, all the way to the outside of the city."
"I will tell you when we get there."
The great witch was very decisive when she told her the destination, without any hesitation in her eyes.
Regarding this straightforward attitude, Ronald immediately thought of the magic of the great witch.
Judging from the effect of her spell to control wind, or airflow.
Maybe this original code holder also has a particularly wide range of investigative capabilities?
Just as Ronald was thinking about this problem, the coachman driving the carriage shouted, and the carriage immediately started to move forward.
Just like the middle-aged investigator introduced, the driver hired by the Bureau of Investigation knew the rules of the mysterious side very well and would not ask anything about the passengers' requests.
In his eyes, delivering the people in the carriage to their destination is the only goal.
At this moment, Ronald, who was sitting next to the Great Witch, asked:
"Ms. Teresa, what happened to you that made you come out in such a hurry, and even did something completely different from what you were used to before? Action?"
"Ronald..." Upon hearing Ronald's question, the big witch shook her head solemnly, and while looking at the scene passing behind the car, she explained at the same time, "They started a war. "
"Just over there on the beach, a large-scale battle is going on."
"And we must go too!"
