Chorwood, 12 Crystal Street.

Forsi walked out of a room at the end of the corridor on the first floor, holding a pure crystal ball the size of a fist in his hand, and the star-like brilliance gradually dimmed. By the time she walked to the living room, the light in the crystal ball had already subsided.

Putting the crystal ball given by Mr. Dorian into the wooden box with padded inside, she yawned and threw herself on the sofa, until she heard footsteps in the corridor before she turned over with difficulty.

"When did you learn the purification ritual? The effect is better than drinking 500ml of holy water directly!"

Hugh Dilcha, who was wearing a knight training uniform, came over with the almost transparent human-skin mask that kept changing colors, and his youthful face was full of curiosity.

This extraordinary item in her hand is easy to use, but every time it is used, a purification ceremony or at least 500 ml of holy water can be used to eliminate the negative effects. The former is too cumbersome and expensive, but holy water can be purchased from inside every day for her who has become a full member of MI9.

And with her promotion, the time she can use has increased significantly. It is no longer limited to one hour, but it cannot exceed three hours.

After returning from MI9 today, Fors said that he would try to arrange a purification ceremony. Anyway, he had a large dose of holy water by his side, and Xio was not worried that the failure of the ceremony would be affected by negative effects, not to mention that Fors used a crystal ball for divination I used it several times to make sure there was no problem.

"I haven't had any inspiration for writing these days, so I flipped through the book my teacher gave me, and just found a way to use spiritual materials to arrange purification rituals. After I prepared the materials, I thought to see if it would work."

"How much will it cost?"

"Well... I only spent 8 pounds to buy the materials. These can be held for five to six times. The average ceremony costs about 1 pound and 10 soli."

"Huh..." Xio breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the mask in his hand on the coffee table, "That's not bad, at least it's cheaper than holy water."

500ml of holy water is about 10 pounds on the black market, and it is much cheaper in MI9. But no matter how cheap she was, she couldn't stand her demand. When she was in the "Interrogation and Pre-trial Team", even if she could reimburse part of it, most of her salary was used to buy holy water.

That is to say, she was recently promoted to "Interrogator" and was transferred from the original group. She didn't need to pretend to be her identity all the time to save her salary.

"But I'm going to charge you £3, no, £5 each time, so that I can pay off the money I owe." Fors's upper body jumped up abruptly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then I might as well spend money to buy holy water."

Xio walked over angrily, pushed Forsi's shoulder, and made her lie down again.

Forsi didn't take it seriously either, and asked in a low voice:

"Why did you go to MI9 again today? Do you have a new mission?"

"No way, I'm just going back to have a look." Xio sighed, but a little excitement suddenly appeared on his face, "Fortunately, I went today, don't you know what happened today?"

"Isn't Duke Negan assassinated? I told you before that there have been rumors within us that MI9 personnel may be secretly cooperating in this case, and everyone who knew about Duke Negan's itinerary that day was temporarily detained. , and our team is in charge of the interrogation."

Fors nodded. She knew about this matter. Because Xio was not selected to participate, he was temporarily assigned to investigate the Aurora Society, and he was dissatisfied for a long time.

"But I just found out today that our team has never handed in the results of the trial. So today, Duke Negan's son Philip Negan and the Church of the Storm's 'Punisher' deacon came together, even our rarely-appeared judge. Chang Selt has come forward, and he wants to personally interrogate those people.

I don't know the specific process, but after Philip Negan left, my former team leader, Alex Gibson, was relieved of his duties, and then detained in the confinement room for processing, and even the 'torture and pre-trial team' was temporarily disbanded , waiting for subsequent commands. "

……

"... Judging from the results of the interrogation, Lockhard Sikayam was the one who leaked my father's itinerary, but he did not say who was instigating him. His Excellency Selt thought that someone had placed the ban. Lix chose to delay because the secretary was from MI9 and was afraid of being involved in political disputes."

In the study, following Philip's narration, Prime Minister Agusid, who was sitting beside him, looked extremely ugly, and the last thing he wanted happened.

"Apart from detaining Alex and disbanding the 'Torture and Pre-Trial Team', what did Selt say?"

"He said that he would report the matter to His Majesty, and the specific measures still need to wait for His Majesty's opinion."

Philip put his hands on the desk, and a sour squeak sounded. He was very dissatisfied with the way Selt handled it, but he couldn't do anything.

MI9 is ​​very special in Loen. It was originally the Intis Central Intelligence Agency, which imitated Emperor Roselle, and was specially responsible for collecting intelligence from various countries.

But Loen doesn't have a large number of "faceless people", so he can't plant spies in key departments of various countries like Intis, so he can only develop in the police station of the extraordinary world, collect intelligence, deal with extraordinary events involving nobles, and arrest enemy countries. Espionage, cooperation with military operations, etc.

When the Intis Central Intelligence Agency was established, Roselle was still a consul, and handed over the intelligence agency to the Secret Order, but it was impossible for the Augustus family to do so.

At the beginning of the establishment of MI9, some Beyonders from the military and nobles were recruited, but they were mainly members of the Augustus family. Although nominally collecting intelligence for the military, it is not affiliated with the military.

Even now, the number of members of the Augustus family in MI9 is ​​very small, and they no longer even control the core departments. The object of allegiance and responsibility is still the king.

This is why, both Philip and the deacon of the Church of the Storm can only negotiate with Deputy Director Morrison outside the MI9 office building.

Agusid was silent for a while, then turned to look at the young man beside him:

"Rolls, what are your thoughts?"

You don't care about my thoughts, you want me to persuade Philip not to be impatient. But now he's sitting here, and he didn't directly attack the Sert Director in MI9 to prove that he wouldn't, at least not until George III gave the specific handling result... Rollsto chin Looking at Philip behind the desk, he said after a while:

"...Actually, this incident will not conflict with our previous plan. In any case, the assassination of the Duke is definitely not just an Extraordinary, or a 'Desire Apostle' who has a mental illness. After all, there was another one before. Pirate General, we've known this for a long time, but we're not sure who led the assassination.

Although the existing evidence involves MI9, we still cannot be sure that the person who instigated the assassination of the Duke is from MI9, or someone who can command MI9. Recklessly attacking MI9 will only make us passive.

In fact, MI9 should be panicking now. If this matter is not handled properly, it will only be their trouble. We only need to follow the previous plan and wait until the status of the Negan family is stabilized before we can better resolve this matter. "

Agusid didn't express his opinion, he kept observing Philip, and he was relieved until the other side nodded. He knocked on the armrest of the chair and said to Rawls with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work. With you helping Philip, I don't have to worry."

In the corner of his eye, he saw that Philip's face darkened a bit, Rawls couldn't help but sighed in his heart, got up and said:

"This is what I should do. My office still has work to do, so I will leave first."

Agusid stood up and nodded without holding back.

After Rawls left, he sat down again, squeezed the corners of his eyes and said:

"The assassination of Pallas should have little to do with MI9. You also know the investigation results given by the Church of Steam, Lockhard..."

"He's from MI9!" Philip interrupted him, "Selt must give us an explanation."

"Hmph, Selt is probably waiting for you long ago, otherwise he would not have detained Alex so simply and disbanded the 'Interrogation and Pre-Trial Team'. As the director of MI9, the person who restricts him There are too many, the royal family has always been in control, and the nobles, the military, and the church are also constantly exerting influence.”

Agusid rubbed the armrest, slightly mocking:

"But what is a team leader? It's just a brigadier general. There are a total of seven deputy directors of MI9, and it's not even a person with corresponding authority like the chief of the palace guard."

……

Rawls leaned back in his chair and recalled the MI9 chief Selt in Philip's mouth. In his memory, the demigod appeared in the original book, but there were very few descriptions related to him, only Knowing that he has a Sealed Artifact of the "Gate" pathway, it is very likely that he is a "traveler".

But as a demigod who also controls such a huge organization as MI9, his handling of his subordinate's alleged assassination of Duke Negan seems to be too hasty, not only detaining his subordinate, but also disbanding the corresponding department.

Even though Duke Negan has a high position, he wouldn't let Selt do this. If he really cared about this matter, then he should have dealt with it early, it was impossible for Alex to delay so obviously.

This is more like playing on the topic?

The only source of MI9 intelligence is Xio, but now Xio is just an ordinary member and has no access to the upper management of MI9 at all.

But just from the original book, there are many MI9 factions. Some people, such as Qonas Kilgor, obviously knew the secret of King George III and chose to support it. Some people, like Hugh's father's subordinates, knew a little and chose to watch, but there were definitely some who didn't know.

Even after the death of George III and Prince Covington's accession to the throne, he did nothing to restore Hugh's father's reputation and make him a top MI9 executive. It can be seen that the situation within this intelligence department is quite complicated.

One emperor and one courtier can be established anywhere.

Shaking his head, Rawls closed his eyes and rested, this matter had nothing to do with him for the time being.

The carriage arrived at Adrian's office. He really wanted to handle some internal work in the office.

As time approaches the end of the year, the smog may happen at any time, and he can't bet that it must happen next Tuesday.

……

On the outskirts of Queens, a low-key and luxurious carriage drove out of the Red Rose Manor.

Klein, who was wearing a black woolen coat, leaned his back against the wall, holding a 1p coin in his hand, his elbows on the window, his eyes wandering on the scene outside the window, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, the coin in his hand was tossed and landed on the palm with the number up.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he still couldn't hide the sadness on his face.

He came to this manor at the invitation of Prince Edsack, not only today, since he first came with Alan on Monday, only yesterday did not go, and it has been three times today.

And the reason he was invited was that His Royal Highness was suddenly curious about him, the recently famous detective, and wanted to know the specific work of the detective and the history of the cases he was involved in.

In this regard, Klein was about to tell His Royal Highness that he was forced to be involved in the "serial murder case" and the "devil case". What he really took over was to investigate the derailment and help people find things. .

But he couldn't help but this prince was generous and revealed that there was a problem with his previous reimbursement, so he could only bite the bullet and make up stories based on the various cases he had seen in his previous life.

However, Klein is a little skeptical about the strong interest shown by His Royal Highness. He thinks it is more likely that the commoner girl the prince likes is more curious about this, but the girl is well protected and has never been seen. That's it.

Originally, he thought that he was just a storyteller~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if there were any problems with the royal family, it would not affect him, but the current situation made him have to worry about his own situation.

He found that someone was spying or monitoring the manor all the time. Whenever he left the manor, he could detect it through divination. Fortunately, he was not the focus of attention. As long as you leave the manor for a certain distance, the person watching will automatically disappear.

In order to prevent himself from being involved, every time he was invited, he had to do a divination above the gray fog, and only went to the manor after confirming that there was no problem.

Klein put the 1p in his pocket, closed his eyes slightly, and moved his lips slightly:

"Fortunately, it's almost over."

It's not that he didn't gain anything in the past few days. He has already gathered all the materials for "Faceless Man", and he can brew the potion tonight and be promoted to "Faceless Man" of Sequence 6.

After being promoted, Klein planned to stay for two more days. After that, he left Backlund to go to sea to look for mermaids on the pretext of going to Dixi County for a vacation.

Thinking of this, he stretched and yawned, and vaguely saw a gap near the window, and a note seemed to be stuck in it.

He immediately looked away, looked to the other side, and then simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

As the carriage drove into the city and turned into Minsk Street, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the note.

I only took one look, and then put it back after reading it.

Seeing that he was about to arrive home, he took out the note with the superimposed hand speed of "Magician" and "Clown", and unfolded it carefully and quickly.
