When Haina came back from the basement of the pub, she felt like she was almost full.

When she went down, she was still very nervous and uneasy. Haina always felt that there might be some traps, traps or curses in the basement - there might also be some familiars, or she could see the synthesis in the jar.

beast.

But what disappointed her was that after carefully exploring for a long time, she found nothing.

There wasn't even the altar described in the novel that was filled with the smell of blood and various severed limbs. Except for a few places with traces of life, there was dust everywhere. The most numerous things on display were all kinds of things that she couldn't

Get to know wine bottles and barrels.

The double bed placed in the corner was damp and musty, perhaps because of poor ventilation and lack of sunlight. She even felt a little sympathy for these demonologists - the quality of life was too poor.

She found the "Alchemy Code" that Aiwass wanted easily.

It was a book that looked very much like a textbook. It was about the thickness of a semester's required courses. It was only about two fingers thick and one and a half palms long. The difference from the textbook was that it had a special dark red leather cover.

, feels like cowhide.

It looks expensive at first glance.

It has to be at least... worth ten white coins, right?

Maybe more, but the price is enough to make people want to steal it.

Aiwass lacks too much life experience - if you go out with something like this, you will definitely be remembered. Even a thief who has no knowledge of the supernatural world and forbidden knowledge can easily judge the quality of this book from its material.

value.

And this evil sorceress must also cherish this book.

Because this book was placed on the desk beside the bed, and there was a wine glass filled with water next to it - this was one of the few dust-free places in the basement.

Apparently the dangerous bald sorceress was reading this book before they came.

Haina did indeed see a ceremony place in the open space in the basement. In order to make room, the residents here obviously moved the wine barrels to the corner, and even stacked two of them vertically to make room.

This is an open space only about five steps in diameter.

Ten names with unknown meanings were engraved in a ritual circle. There were also strange geometric patterns drawn in the middle, and she could only barely understand the meaning of the mark "moon".

There was no blood or severed limbs on the ceremonial ground.

She only saw an empty swaddling clothes, lying quietly in the center of the ring. Just in case, she did not lift the cloth.

But in order to prevent the ritual from running automatically, she cut off all the ritual threads with the sword in her hand and completely destroyed the ritual venue before she dared to start investigating.

This is also the method taught in school - if you see a ceremony arranged by believers who transcend the path, do not walk in casually, and do not take out the things inside. You must first use a sharp object that has been blessed or cursed, and then

Make light cuts on all the lines. For example, if it is a circle, you can make one cut at any place; if it is a triangle, you need to cut three times; if it is a six-pointed star, you need to make six cuts.

Haina remembers this knowledge clearly.

Because when she was learning this knowledge, she had the exciting illusion that she was fighting demons. She had carefully studied the techniques for fighting against various illegal extraordinary beings, and even the techniques for fighting against demons.

But it wasn't until she was about to graduate that she learned from her colleagues... In fact, more than 90% of the supervisors may never see a living demon in their lives. If they do, there is a high probability that they will not have a chance to survive.

Show off to others.

Because the devil cannot appear alone. When the summoner of the devil dies, the devil will be sent back.

This means that when the demon is discovered alone, the evil warlock who summoned the demon must be nearby - and most likely has noticed him. But he failed to find him.

And when we do encounter such a powerful enemy, we usually leave it to the white gloves of the Inspectorate. It is not their turn to take action.

So Haina fell into a very depressed mood.

Obviously I have a lot of professional knowledge, but in fact I don’t use it at work.

In most cases, the work is still meaningless, extremely busy, and completely devoid of any sense of adventure, like checking taxes, checking various identity certificates, maintaining law and order, checking health conditions, safety hazards and contraband.

In most cases, there is no need to draw out the sword. Generally, stupid thieves and thugs can be stopped in place by just shouting. But those who cannot be stopped by just shouting must at least use personal sea tactics——

Facing a powerful enemy alone that cannot be defeated quickly is a serious violation and will result in imprisonment.

And with the crowds coming, the sword is no longer needed. In this case, fighting the gangsters in close combat will easily prevent teammates from intervening. On the contrary, it is better to use a gun more efficiently.

The result is that the legal tactics used in the assessment when joining the company are actually not used at all.

Haina was quite dissatisfied with this.

——If she had known that the work of the Supervision Bureau was so boring, she might as well have been an air cavalry in the army!

Her current gryphon has been through the process for two months, and she hasn't seen a single bird feather yet!

Originally, Haina was still dreaming about waiting for her equipment and gryphon to arrive, so she would ride her gryphon, wear armor and a sword, and go to school to show off. She must be very handsome.

His classmates and junior students will definitely come over to watch his heroic appearance, and the teachers will definitely use him as a role model to teach the younger generations——

...But now it seems that I may not be able to touch my gryphon before graduation.

Haina coughed and pushed the door open with her left elbow. Her right hand gently flapped the air in front of her face, and her left hand held the book carefully, like a plate with a teacup.

She saw Aiwass sitting peacefully and obediently in his wheelchair, as if he was afraid of the smell of corpses, far, far away from the corpse with a terrible appearance.

"Does it feel fishy?"

Haina asked casually, and came over and handed the book to Aiwass: "Hide quickly... The Lloyd District Supervisor will be here soon, but don't let him see it."

When passing the corpse, the strong smell of blood suddenly surged up in the air, making her cough even more violently.

"That's it, thank you, senior!"

Aiwass happily took the book and responded sweetly.

The corners of Haina's mouth raised slightly. She liked this feeling of being needed.

She hadn't felt it before during the battle, but now that she was free, her eyes couldn't stop drifting to the corpse. And the smell was getting stronger and stronger, making her feel more and more uncomfortable.

Finally, Haina couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled a piece of white cloth from the table next to her and covered the upper body of the sorceress's body.

"If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you cover it?"

"Because I thought that the scene needs to be protected..."

Aiwass said hesitantly: "If you cover it with a cloth, won't it destroy the evidence on the body?"

"What?"

Haina was stunned for a moment.

She looked back at the body and instinctively felt that it made sense.

…But why isn’t this taught in school?

She didn't think of the reason for a moment, so she turned around and said harshly: "Because there are no clues. We all know that she was shot to death by you... Is there anything else that needs to be investigated? I can see it clearly. I

You are your own witness, no other evidence is needed.

"Of course, this is not your problem. Your act of shooting was a heroic act of self-righteousness. I will make this clear to the Supervisory Bureau."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh - Aiwass is really a good boy who obeys the rules and is polite.

——Completely different from myself.

Haina sighed sadly.

So, she decided to confess.

She hesitated and said, "Mr. Aiwass."

"What?" Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

"There is one thing I want to apologize to you for..."

"No, no, senior sister, there is no need to be so polite... aren't we friends?"

"That's why I want to say it."

Haina looked ashamed: "When I was looking for your book down there, I couldn't help but flip through a few pages."

——In fact, it was because she was worried that there might be some curse or poison in this book.

Feeling that she was physically strong, she decided to give it a try herself.

But there is no need to say this. Because it sounds too much like an excuse, it is better to just admit that you want to see it.

...because she actually did want to watch it.

If it was Haina before today, she would definitely not have accepted the temptation of such evil ways. But on the way here, after listening to Aiwass's words, she suddenly felt that she seemed too old-fashioned before.

I want to be a "superior", which is the idea of ​​​​the way of transcendence; I think Aiwass is handsome, elegant, gentle and cultured, this is because he has been influenced by the way of "beauty" or the way of "love".

In the same way, after reading this book, I became curious... that is, I was infected by the ways of [Balance] and [Wisdom].

The path of balance represents knowledge and science, and is an equal way of understanding the world; the essence of the path of wisdom is related to mystery, rationality, and the pursuit of truth. This is all normal and part of a normal person.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

What really deserves an apology is that she touched other people's things and read other people's books without permission.

And what made her feel ashamed...she had to admit that the things in this book did have some appeal.

She just turned a few pages and was immersed in the mysterious and surprising world, which opened her eyes.
To be continued...
