Go to the end of the stairs and enter this underground base.
Ronald looked around.
Compared with the previous Bureau of Investigation building, the layout and structure here are actually very simple.
The first thing that catches the eye is a central hall that is dug deep into the ground and is not too large. Around the central hall, this underground space has independent rooms connected to it in eight directions.
However, he inherited the situation that Ronald encountered before in the Investigation Bureau.
Everything in the underground base was eerily quiet, and no one could be seen moving at all.
At this time, the nun who brought Ronald down spoke:
"Mr. Ronald, please wait a moment."
"I'm going to call the people from your investigation bureau."
After smiling and waiting for Ronald to nod in response, the nun turned and walked to the second room on the right.
Soon, someone familiar to Ronald came out.
It's Ms. Mapel.
Under the leadership of the nun who walked into the room, the manager of the Investigation Bureau walked out of the room with a tired look on his face and came to Ronald. Then he looked up and down with subtle eyes.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mapel said:
"Ronald, why did you come here so late at night? The matter with Celephais shouldn't be that troublesome, right?"
"..."
Ronald did not answer directly, but first looked at the nun beside him.
Seeing this look, Mapel immediately understood.
She waved her hand nonchalantly and said generously:
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be defensive about Ms. Audlett."
"She is one of our own."
"..."
"All right."
After hearing what Mapel said, Ronald had no intention of continuing to hide it.
He took out the magic book from the folded coat and handed it over simply.
"..."
Facing what Ronald showed, Mapel was silent.
She originally wanted to take the book wrapped in her shirt directly, but halfway through, an unpleasant thought came to her mind.
He looked at the magic book in front of him, and then looked at Ronald who was very close at hand.
Her eyes gradually darkened, and Ms. Mapel's tone was a little uneasy, as she spoke tentatively:
"Ronald, don't tell me this is a book..."
"This is a magic book."
Ronald took into account Mapel's hesitation and luck, and explained simply:
"This is what I discovered later in Celephais."
"Even on the way back to Berenwich from Celephes, I saw someone I shouldn't have seen."
"Stop! Stop for a moment!"
This time, it was Marpel who interrupted Ronald.
Listening to the increasingly explosive information, the management staff of the Investigation Bureau was completely unable to maintain her previous casualness and directly stopped Ronald from speaking. She immediately cast an apologetic look at the nun beside her:
"Sorry, Ronald and I will go in and talk about this."
The nun still kept smiling and nodded without any concern:
"Excuse me, you two. It's fine with me."
In the previous questions and answers, the clergyman had almost no unnecessary expression of emotion, and just kept looking at the two people with a quiet smile. But now that he heard the meaning of Mapel's words, the nun didn't say anything more, and turned her head to the ground.
go in the direction.
Watch the nun leave.
Marpel took the magic book from Ronald's hand, grabbed his wrist and walked into the room where she was staying before.
Just walked in here.
Ronald recognized this room as being similar to the Personnel Department of the Bureau of Investigation.
There are layers upon layers of files, a large amount of unprocessed information, and transfer information sheets compiled by investigators. All kinds of things prove that this is the place where the Human Resources Department is replaced.
After walking into the room and sitting behind the desk, Mapel was not too busy opening the magic book to read. Instead, she asked Ronald again:
"Your situation is different from what Willard said before..."
"After they left, you should have encountered some things in that town."
"Right?"
Ronald nodded and said:
"That's right, in fact, early the next morning, I was in Celephais..."
Ronald slowly told about his experiences in the fishing village, and Ms. Mapel just listened quietly.
After she had almost explained everything, she asked:
"Didn't you just say that you saw someone you shouldn't have seen?"
"Who is that?"
"It's Larmer." Ronald pointed out the name directly, and then he explained in detail, "Ms. Mapel, you also know how I entered Burrenwich. The Larmer I am talking about now is
The guy who was responsible for the previous murders on the Dongfeng and is now being hunted by the authorities."
"When I returned to Berenwich from Celephasis with this magic book, that guy appeared in the woods nearby, and his target was very obvious and he was watching me."
"But I didn't intend to fight him at that time, and he didn't seem to want to alarm ordinary people, so in the end, I simply ran back without any unnecessary fighting or negotiation."
"Lamer..."
As she whispered the name, Ms. Mapel's eyes became more and more complicated.
I sat behind my desk and thought for more than a minute.
She suddenly woke up.
She took out an envelope from the desk in front of her and threw it to Ronald. She then waved her hand:
"The arrangements for the future are all in it. Remember to destroy it after you read it."
"For now, you should go back and rest."
"OK."
Exit the basement and exit the confessional.
Ronald did not leave Lierdel Cathedral immediately.
Seeing that there was no one near the circular corridor of the church, he simply chose a bench in a secluded location, sat on it, and then slowly opened the envelope in his hand.
Among them is a piece of letter paper and a translucent card.
Ronald picked up the card and looked at it in the light.
this......
This seems to be a raster card with moire stripes?
Why did the Bureau of Investigation issue this?
With such doubts, Ronald pressed his fingers on the words on the page in the envelope, and then quickly scanned the contents.
The rough content on the page is that every morning, the Bureau of Investigation will send letters to investigators in various places of residence through the urban post office newspapers. The tasks for that day are valid for that day and will be useless if they are outdated.
This kind of letter announcing the mission uses the latest optical encryption method.
If this kind of raster card is not pressed on letter paper, the content of the task cannot be directly identified.
"..."
Ronald put away the raster card, the confusion in his eyes clearly visible.
The Bureau's response was too drastic.
This isn't right.
Judging from his life experience, there is no reason why the power of official organizations should be forced to this point by a cult organization.
Even if it's hidden underground, you actually have such a covert communication method?
Although it can be considered as the confidential nature of the mysterious side.
But in the end, this is still too much.
Ronald believed that in addition to the activities of the cult warlocks, there must be something happening in Berenwich that he didn't know about. The fear of multiple contradictions made the Investigation Bureau adopt such a posture.
So, what could this be...
Just when Ronald was thinking.
The nun who had left the basement suddenly came over and gently placed a small bag in front of him.
Keeping her movements quiet, the nun smiled at Ronald:
"Mr. Ronald, this is your weekly salary for the last week of work."
"It is not convenient for the current investigation bureau to do this, so let us transfer it on our behalf."
Taking the small bag, Ronald thanked the other party from the bottom of his heart:
