Mystic Dominator

About a quarter of an hour later.

Nicole ran back to the front desk with her water glass and toothbrush.

And compared to when she left, she added a pale yellow file bag under her arm, which seemed to contain only a few pages of documents.

"Get out of the way."

To remind Ronald, the investigator girl does not intend to come in from the side.

Supporting the front table with one hand, she rolled over from above the counter and entered.

The counter of more than one meter will not be an obstacle in any sense to Nicole.

Land easily and stay on your feet.

First stuff the toiletry utensils in his hand into the cabinet at the front desk, and the investigator girl immediately turned around again.

The cabinet at the front desk, the corner of the floor, the quilt on the bed.

It's as if something was left behind while sleeping.

Soon, Nicole found what she was looking for.

Under her crooked pillow, she pulled out a small card that was also crumpled.

With a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, she smiled and handed the card to Ronald:

"Here, take it."

"What is this......"

Ronald curiously took the card handed over by the other party.

The card was the size of a driver's license, and he saw [Level 1 Borrowing Permission] written on it.

"Borrowing permission..."

Ronald muttered in his mouth, and turned his eyes to Nicole at the same time.

"hey-hey."

The investigator girl showed a bright smile.

She bumped Ronald with her shoulder, just like when friends communicate.

"I got the library card for you last night."

"Take this and go to the data warehouse on the second floor. You can find some unimportant or entry-level things to look at. Just use it as a pastime."

Ronald raised his eyebrows, his tone a little surprised:

"Is there really no problem?"

"I'm just a temporary worker. I'm going to read the information of the Bureau of Investigation. Isn't that a bit overstepping?"

"Relax."

Nicole threw a look of "you can rest assured":

"The first-level library card can only read some of the most basic files, which is a little better than the stuff in the nearby police station, and the books on the mysterious side are only entry-level.

"For me, the elite of the investigative elite..."

"Hey~~ It's just drizzle!"

After explaining the function of the library card, Nicole reached out and touched Ronald's head.

Standing up, the investigator girl wobbled towards the gate of the investigation bureau.

Walking to the door, she looked at the umbrella cabinet at her feet.

"Lend me your umbrella, and I'll return it to you when you change shift at night!"

While speaking, Nicole took the umbrella that Ronald had put in not long ago, pulled it out of the cabinet, and then simply pushed the door and left the investigation bureau.

Just like Ronald knew.

The investigators of the Brenwich Investigation Bureau have been very busy recently.

————

Before you know it, it's almost noon.

Ronald has already read all the newspapers at hand, and he has a general understanding of today's current affairs news.

so......

Should I go out to eat something now, or take the library card in my hand and investigate several libraries to see the news?

"Let's eat something..."

Without thinking for too long, Ronald stuffed the crumpled library card into his pocket and patted it, then walked out after counting a few Gnars.

Because it is next to the police station.

There are quite a few restaurants near the Bureau of Investigation.

Ronald randomly bought a pasta in a paper bag, and then returned to the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation.

back and forth,

The whole process didn't even take more than 10 minutes.

Back behind the reception desk, he was careful not to spill the sauce on Nicole's bed.

This pasta...

How to describe it?

The taste is sweet, but the taste is not bad.

In other words, as a food sold on the street, it is worthy of its price.

But compared with the smoothness of the landlady's wife, it is far behind.

After eating about two-thirds of the food on hand, Ronald felt that he was 80% full.

"Let's do this first."

Tear off a page from the notepad at the front desk, and casually wipe his hands.

He turned his head and walked to the second floor of the Bureau of Investigation, to the document warehouse that Nicole had mentioned.

Walking up the stairs, the Bureau of Investigation is still sparsely staffed.

There are a few doors that are not closed, but someone inside can still be heard talking in a hurried tone.

Without squinting, Ronald walked directly to the door of the penultimate room next to the window.

At the top left of the door.

A metal hangboard reads [Document Storage Office].

Ronald reached out and knocked on the door.

bang bang bang——

"Please come in."

Hearing someone answer from the door, Ronald twisted the handle and walked in.

After entering, Ronald looked around.

The light in this file warehouse is obviously much darker than the outside.

The database of the Brenwich Mystery Bureau is much more than the pathetic grandeur of the train station before.

As far as the eye can see, there are densely packed volumes on the left, which are placed on the bookshelves next to each other; while the volumes on the right are basically book-like volumes.

Looking back from Ronald's position.

This kind of division completely runs through the entire room. Rows of bookshelves are connected end to end until the end. If you walk between any two bookshelves, you can go to the end in one way, and you can only go all the way to the end.

From the entrance side, the connected bookshelves are directly stuck to the wall at the end of the warehouse, even if it is used as a partition, there is no problem.

Considering the size of the warehouse...

The amount of materials stored here is already more Zerg than that of ordinary small bookstores on the roadside.

In front of Ronald, at this moment a white-haired old man was sitting on a chair.

With his head resting on his arm lifted slightly, he glanced at Ronald who walked into the room.

"newcomer?"

"Yes, sir."

Opening his mouth to respond to the other party, Ronald handed over his library card at the same time.

After the old man took it, he just looked at it very briefly, and said with certainty without further confirmation:

"You are the newcomer introduced by that little girl Nicole."

"Okay, watch it."

Immediately, the old man raised his arms and gestured backwards:

"You can go through the corridor in the middle. You can take and read the files on the left and right sides, as well as various books. It's not a problem to take it down the hall, as long as you don't leave the investigation bureau."

"Of course, you have to remember that it's only the middle one."

"I see."

Ronald did not intend to explain to the old man that he was just a temporary worker, not a formal newcomer to the Bureau of Investigation.

Nodding around the old man, he stepped to the back.

Leaving aside the complicated archives on the left, on the right side of his body, more than a thousand books almost filled the entire space, such as "Brenwich Almanac", "Plant Book of Plant Research", "Sealed Book of Noble Houses", Books like The Joyz River Route Map abound.

Just like this, I walked past about half of the bookshelves.

Ronald's pace gradually slowed down.

Because from here, titles such as "Recommendation for Novice Investigators", "Basic Common Sense of Mysticism", "Flower Talk in the Secret Garden", and "Handbook for Keeping Secrets" gradually appeared on the bookshelves.

The content involved is neither esoteric nor confidential.

But this is also definitely knowledge on the mysterious side.
