Mystic Dominator

After handing over the reward to Ronald, the nun folded her hands in front of her chest and bent slightly.

She turned around and left after finishing the salute gesture of the local church.

So far, this nun who has been maintaining a gentle smile has never appeared in Ronald's sight again.

"..."

Watching the other person leave quietly.

Before getting up to leave Lildel Cathedral.

Ronald first opened his pocket and looked at his salary.

Probably because he was just a temporary worker, his weekly salary for this week's work was not as much as he had imagined. For a simple comparison, it was about one-fifth higher than the salary at the train station.

"It's okay..."

After counting his wages and carefully putting the money bag into his pocket, Ronald got up from the bench.

After smoothing out some wrinkled clothes, he immediately walked out of the church.

After being busy for several days in a row, it was time to go back and take a rest.

Taking advantage of the gradually setting sun, Ronald left Lildel Cathedral and walked towards the pension he was renting.

It was business as usual in the streets of Brunwich.

Pedestrians coming and going have their own lives, and there is nothing special in the field of vision at first glance.

If it weren't for the work of the Bureau of Investigation, it would be difficult for Ronald to realize what happened in the dark of the city.

In a sense, this kind of calm is the most dangerous situation.

It's like just looking at the calm river, if you don't go down, it's hard to detect what kind of undercurrent is lurking under the water's surface.

Walking slowly by himself, Ronald returned to the pension peacefully.

The whole process has no twists and turns.

Standing at the door of the apartment, Ronald took out the key and opened the door to enter the house.

Click——

Accompanied by the clear sound of the door opening, the landlady sitting on the chair on the first floor noticed the movement from Ronald, and raised her eyes from the sweater above her knees.

After confirming that it was his tenant who came back, a smile appeared on the serene face of the landlady:

"Um......"

"It's Mr. Ronald."

"Are you busy with work these two days, and haven't seen you coming back?"

Ronald shot a smile at the landlady, and then explained:

"You are right."

"A few days ago, I was really busy with some things at work."

"But starting today, it shouldn't be like the previous two days."

"That's right..."

The landlady didn't think too much, she simply nodded after listening to Ronald's explanation, and her vision returned to the sweater she was knitting.

After chatting for a while, Ronald walked towards the second floor where he lived.

clap clap -

At this time, he heard footsteps coming down from the third floor above.

Out of curiosity in his heart, Ronald stood where he was and did not open the door, but glanced up with his head.

Immediately, he saw a familiar figure.

— Patricia.

The girl with a tall and straight figure was dressed quite casually at the moment. She didn't even tie up her signature white-blonde hair, which was only loosely draped over her shoulders.

Wear loose casual clothes and warm slippers on your feet.

She is walking downstairs.

While scaring the stairs, she seemed to be planning to ask the landlady on the first floor:

"Excuse me, this side..."

"well!?"

Around the same time, Patricia saw Ronald.

The words that come out of the mouth range from questions to confusion.

The two fell silent together.

On the stairs between the second and third floors, they stood facing each other as they went up and down,

staring at each other.

Obviously, it is quite unexpected to meet the person in front of you at the residence.

After a few seconds, Ronald tentatively asked Patricia:

"Are you the new tenant on the third floor?"

Patricia shrugged:

"There should be no one else but me..."

While talking, Ronald actually understood everything in his heart.

Thinking about when he first arrived in Brunwich, out of the consideration of convenience and comfort, he found some houses with a relatively close distance and a relatively good environment through an intermediary.

Mrs. Hudson's own pension was the result of his choice.

—And what about Patricia?

As a foreigner who came to Brunwich alone, if she got off the car and looked for an intermediary to rent a house, then this kind of boarding house with quite good accommodation conditions would naturally become her first choice.

It would be better to say that the two lived in the same building by chance and met for the first time today.

This is the real low probability event!

"..."

"Shall I go down and get something to eat first?"

After looking at each other for a few more seconds, Patricia spoke first, and at the same time glanced downstairs.

Look at her casual attire now, and her tone of voice when chatting with friends. Ronald graciously gave way to the passage of the stairs, and politely watched her go downstairs.

It wasn't until Patricia's back disappeared around the corner of the stairs that Ronald opened the door by himself and returned to the house.

Hang the hat on the hanger at your fingertips.

Ronald thought about it, and then decided to put the coat in the wardrobe alone.

Referring to the current situation in Brenwich, in the next few days, he does not intend to walk outside in such a dress.

After finishing his clothes, Ronald sat at his desk.

Spreading out the letter paper sent to him by Ms. Mapel evenly, he then stacked the raster card on the shadow on the envelope.

Immediately, the text appeared through the shadow of the moiré stripes.

In just a few sentences, the arrangements for Ronald's future work are recorded.

——The content is very simple.

After all, Ronald was just a temporary employee of the Bureau of Investigation.

In such a state of emergency in the city, it should be impossible for him to be entrusted with important tasks by the Bureau of Investigation. Regarding Ronald's future orders, there are only a few simple words.

Pay attention to the messages delivered by the mailbox every day, and then patrol the streets near the residence. If you find any abnormal state, go directly to this street to the designated location to notify the eyeliner of the investigation bureau.

That's all, nothing more.

"..."

Silently memorizing the contact address on the letter paper, Ronald took out a match from the side and lit it.

Zizizi——

Smoke billowed from the flames, and he watched silently as the burning paper gradually turned to ashes.

At the same time, the problems in Ronald's mind also changed.

Since Patricia lived upstairs, how should I discuss what happened today with her?

bang bang bang——

Just then, the door rang.

Not long after going down, Patricia's voice appeared outside the door.

"Ronald, didn't you just come back?"

"Shall we have something to eat together?"

"Very happy."

While responding to Patricia.

Ronald immediately got up and walked to the door to open the door.
