Facing the detective's serious and nervous eyes, Ronald stared into the detective's eyes without showing any signs of weakness, and then continued:
"I told you before, this matter is very dangerous."
"And I did see Lumil's body on the Black Mountain. There is no doubt about it."
"..."
Faced with Ronald's answer, Swift fell silent.
He stood motionless for several seconds before finally shaking his head in frustration, then turning around and leading the way upstairs.
"well--"
"Let's go upstairs first."
"The living room on the second floor is protected by a spell I asked someone to make. At least it won't be eavesdropped. Although my side is not exposed, at least I have to take due precautions."
"OK."
Nodding in agreement, Ronald followed Swift up to the second floor.
It was still the same living room as last time. After the two sat down separately, Swift first poured a cup of hot tea for Ronald, and then said with some emotion:
"The Lumil adopted by Bach may be a summoned object, or some kind of magic derivative, or it may be an alien creature. I can't determine the specific type, but in short, that 'Lumiel' is definitely not a human being!"
"My school's magic specializes in perception and human behavior, and from my observations over the past two days, that guy is definitely not in line with human characteristics in all aspects."
"Isn't it human..."
Hearing Swift's explanation, Ronald nodded noncommittally.
This is actually part of his previous assumption.
After all, a lot of things have been verified on the Black Mountain, but as Swift said, we just don’t know what the situation is with Lumir.
Meanwhile, Swift's explanations continued.
After adjusting his sitting position on the sofa, Mr. Detective said in a serious and serious tone:
"Actually, I investigated more than that."
"During the past two days of surveillance, I sneaked into the warden's manor and discovered something even more surprising."
"That Lumil, isn't there a man following you all the time?"
Ronald nodded:
"Yes, I remember it too."
Swift took a breath to calm down before continuing:
"Tell you."
"That guy who looks like a valet on the surface is actually a master of the original code!"
"ha......?"
Ronald's hand holding the teacup also shook:
"Are you sure about this?"
To be honest, this news was a bit beyond his expectation.
At the banquet held by the Bureau of Investigation, Ronald knew that the valet was personally protecting Lumiel.
But I never expected that it was actually the controller of the original code!
Are you kidding me?
Has the situation in Berenwich been exaggerated to this extent?
Even with the social identity and status of a warden, it would be too outrageous for an original code controller to be a valet.
"Of course I'm sure he is."
Looking at Ronald's silence in front of him, Swift understood his surprise very well.
After waiting for a few seconds, he continued to tell more exciting information.
"Actually, that guy is more than just an original code controller."
"Even the explosion of sacred energy by Bolun [Literary Hall www.wxguan.vip] Weizhi two months ago, I suspect is related to the original scripture in this man's hands."
"After all, when I was following that guy, in the residue of his magical power that spread out very quickly, I could feel the magical properties that were almost indistinguishable from the sacred aura emitted by that mysterious incident."
"..."
Ronald was silent.
Another thing he didn't expect before.
The culprit causing the mysterious side fluctuations of Berenwich is actually the controller of the original code?
——An unimaginable situation.
But at the same time, it seems to be consistent with what I have seen and heard during this period.
After all, the warden is a traitor, so it makes sense to harbor a dangerous person in his home.
After some time, Ronald spoke again:
"What about the church people?"
"Those are the two clergymen I mentioned who entered the warden's home."
"church......"
Upon hearing this word, Swift's eyes flashed with sadness.
But he quickly suppressed his emotions and continued to explain to Ronald:
"The situation on the church side is very strange. There is almost no response to the things happening here, as if they have given up on the two clergy by default."
"In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, I also conducted a special investigation. Those two are the real registered priests as you said, and they have indeed not appeared in Burrenwich in the past two days."
"..."
Ronald wanted to know if Swift had any other ideas, so he asked one more question:
"So what do you think about them now?"
Swift then responded:
"They are undoubtedly at the warden's house."
"But now, I don't know if it's in a dungeon or a cemetery."
"..."
After finishing speaking, both of them fell into a brief silence.
After picking up the tea and drinking it in unison, Swift broke the silence first.
"Ronald, what are your thoughts now?"
Ronald pointed to himself:
"my thoughts?"
"That's right, your idea." Swift nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "Are you going to report this matter to the Bureau of Investigation, or are you going to just hide it as a non-occurrence area?"
"As a friend, I suggest you choose the latter."
"As long as this kind of thing is brought out from your side, no matter what the final result is, you will probably inevitably get into trouble."
"We should not get involved in such a big matter."
"This is my advice as a detective to you as your employer."
"..."
"you're right."
Looking at Swift's serious expression, Ronald nodded.
Mr. Detective's suggestion was undoubtedly made out of good intentions.
From a normal person's perspective, no matter what aspect, I should not continue to participate, and leaving immediately is the right choice.
But it's a pity that Ronald still has "The Divine Comedy" in his hands.
There are also some very subjective things that he can't let go of.
So he didn't intend to escape from this matter.
Ronald took out the commission for this operation from his coat pocket and slowly placed it in front of Swift:
"In that case, let's end this commission for now."
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Swift."
"..."
However, when faced with Ronald's actions, Swift showed a completely different reaction than before.
"This commission cannot be considered completed."
Taking the initiative to push the commission back to Ronald, Mr. Detective shook his head:
"Next, we can conduct follow-up investigations."
"This is the advice I give to my friends as a detective."
