Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

Wayne stood up and walked to the window to look out. If he didn't find something beautiful to divert his attention, he was afraid that he would be immersed in the misfortunes.

"It turns out the distance is so close..."

The Dumitru neighborhood is not far from the center of the city-state. From his office, he can clearly see the Krimos Cathedral not far away.

It can be seen that many people wearing the costumes of Dawn Church believers are heading towards the church. Everyone's face is filled with smiles, bright and beautiful.

In the corner of the block not far away, more people gathered in twos and threes.

Gentlemen in formal suits walked side by side with ladies in gorgeous dresses, chatting and laughing as they walked into various stores.

With his heightened senses, Wei En could still vaguely hear what they were discussing, including clothing, food, and the laws of the city-state...

More about the holy sacrifice that the church sent down at dawn yesterday, and the lucky holy one.

"I finally understand why so many people have become believers in Dawn Church."

In such a dangerous world, extraordinary people have a certain ability to protect themselves and have the ability to make choices.

But it would be difficult for these ordinary people, especially those who are impoverished, to persevere without sustenance in their hearts.

To a certain extent, whether it is the Church of Dawn, the Church of Storms, or other churches, it is the hope for these people's survival.

Even if these churches may not bring them good luck...

Click.

"Hey, Wayne, are you here already?"

Hearing the sound, Wei En turned around and glanced at the clock - eleven o'clock sharp!

"I just arrived not long ago."

"I should have told you that the Secret Service Department's working hours are eleven o'clock, right?"

Wayne nodded calmly, "Yes."

Having just experienced a miserable baptism, he really didn't want to waste time arguing about whether he had mentioned working hours.

"That's good."

Lacey put down the suitcase in his hand, looked at him and smiled: "Wayne, I have to say that this dress suits you very well."

"Thanks."

"How's it going? Have you read the files I gave you?"

When Wei En saw her placing her eyes on the files on the table, he smiled and said, "I've seen it. The captain has performed very admirably in these cases."

"Yes, really? I'm not as good as you said, hahaha..."

Um?

Did I say the word "excellent"?

And even if he hears compliments, he shouldn't smile so exaggeratedly... It seems like he should get used to it.

In fact, he is lucky to have a colleague who is straightforward and unpretentious.

While Wei En secretly sighed at how easy it was to get along with the captain, he packed up the files and put them on her desk.

"I saw the photos in the cabinet over there. Are they all my colleagues?"

"That, yes."

Lacey put the files away and without looking back, casually replied: "Everyone is here except an old guy who has retired."

"That's it."

"Do you think they all look reliable?"

"without,"

Wei En said it, but felt it was inappropriate, and continued: "No, I mean they are indeed reliable. I was just surprised that Rogert looked so handsome when he smiled, but yesterday he was so..."

"Cold?" Lacey added.

"almost……"

Lacey looked up at him and said seriously: "You don't have to feel embarrassed for saying it so bluntly. The reason why Roget is like this is because he asked for it."

Is there something unexpected going on here?

Wayne didn't speak, but waited for her next words.

"In fact, he's leaving today."

"Um?"

"His spirit is polluted. Here," Lacey pointed to his head, "his brain is broken!"

Wei En looked at her in surprise, she actually knew? !

He was still debating whether to reveal this information last night, but he didn't expect that it would be an open secret.

"Why did he, Roget, become mentally contaminated?"

"This is what makes him unworthy of sympathy," Lacey's expression was complicated, showing both helplessness and anger. "He fell in love with a 'fallen'."

Wayne opened his mouth wide, "Degenerate? In love?"

He thought he would hear an inspirational story about selling his soul in pursuit of strength, but he didn't expect this to be a love tragedy?

"I can tell you this, but you have to promise, no, you have to swear not to tell anyone outside the investigation department."

Wayne nodded quickly, "Yeah, yeah, I swear!"

No matter what world you are in, you can't resist eating melon.

"Hey," Lacey sighed: "At the same time, I also hope that you will not become like him. To be honest, this is really a tragedy..."

"Roget is only 23 years old this year, and it has been just three years since he came to the Investigation Department. I still remember what he looked like when he first came here. He was sunny and handsome, and he had good marksmanship..."

As she told the story, Wayne finally understood the reason why Roget became like this.

It turned out that in the first two years, Roget was still the captain's partner, and the two of them worked together with the retired Jack.

But in the third year, last year, because Roget wanted to surpass Lacey in terms of grades, he began to investigate the case alone.

In an accidental case, he met a young girl.

According to Lacey, the girl was very average-looking, and she even compared herself to her.

Said that the girl had an average figure, a round face with a few freckles, and was two years older than Roget...

Wayne looked at the two hanging clocks in front of her and agreed. It was indeed difficult for a woman to have a figure as good as Lacey's.

But it was such an ordinary girl who attracted Roget's attention, or to be precise, his admiration.

Every day after get off work, he would take a long detour to create a chance encounter with the girl. I also bring some gadgets as gifts, and sometimes some delicious food.

It didn't take long for the two to fall in love and start a formal relationship.

Of course, Lacey's exact words were: "These are all the deceptions of that degenerate, who deceived an upright, brave and promising investigator!"

Although her tone of voice was filled with resentment, Wayne could still hear her sadness at Rogert's mental pollution.

At the beginning, the relationship between the two was full of joy, happiness and beauty.

The only fly in the ointment is that the girl's family does not approve of the relationship between the two, and even obstructs it in every possible way.

When Wayne expressed his incomprehension, Lacey replied lightly: "This is usually the impression ordinary people have of investigators. When faced with misfortune, it brings ominousness."

I don’t know how she felt when she said this, but Wei En was greatly shocked.

It turns out that from the perspective of ordinary people, this is what the investigator looks like!

Back to Roget... neither of them gave up after that.

Especially Roget, who fell in love, worked hard to complete the mission of the Secret Service, hoping to impress the girl's family with a promotion.

but……

One night, Roget missed her so much that he took the risk to visit the girl's residence.

He left in a hurry, carrying only an ordinary lantern sold by the Dawn Church.

It was on that day that Roget saw a terrible scene.

That girl, who looked ordinary and had a gentle personality, turned into a devil in the night when he spied on her.

He brutally murdered everyone in the family, including his parents and his younger sister who was less than two years old.

"Roget, look...no one will stop us anymore."
