Are they the investigators from the Springs Investigation Bureau headquarters sent to support Burrenwich?
In Ronald's mind, he instantly recalled what he had just read in the book.
Just like Alida once said.
——Where the number of humans reaches a certain level, the number of [seeds] possessing knowledge must be controlled.
This situation causes a problem.
When an official organization like this encounters a shortage of manpower, they don't dare to be too presumptuous in seeking help from colleagues in other regions, because once the number of people coming to support increases, the number of [seeds] will reach the threshold.
It won't be long before the alienation of the world comes.
Even if they take advantage of the gap before the alienation of the world and prepare a plan for flexible movement of people, this is too dangerous for them.
The next second, Ronald realized something again.
Among the five people, the man who took the lead in front of him, Mr. Willard in his mouth...
Isn't it the investigator who just left yesterday?
Ronald was not busy explaining. He looked at the other person carefully first.
Different from the investigator in the Burrenwich coat and wide hat, the man in front of him was in a suit and leather tie, dressed like a salesman. Although he was quite polite when he asked me, the indifference deep in his eyes was not at all.
I didn't mean to hide it.
Showing a formulaic smile towards the headquarters investigator in front of him, Ronald nodded politely.
"please wait for a moment."
"I need to notify the management of the bureau."
"Hurry up."
The frowning expression was very impatient, but the guy still nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Ronald reached out and pulled a pull ring under the counter.
In less than half a minute, Ms. Mapel, who heard Ronald pulling the bell, ran down the stairs.
When she walked down the stairs, she looked up and saw someone coming.
Mapel's expression changed.
After a few seconds of silence, she continued:
"Spencer, why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?"
The leading male investigator raised his eyebrows.
Regarding Ms. Mapel's unwelcome attitude towards him, this guy just asked a simple question, and then raised the question more directly:
"After the situation in Burrenwich was reported, we are here today on behalf of the General Administration of Springs."
"do you understand?"
"I want to talk to Willard now."
"I think we, the investigators who are working on the front lines, are the ones who have a common language with you, a guy who is willing to work in the human resources department and do boring things."
"..."
Mapel was silent.
She stood there with an ugly face for nearly ten seconds, but she still didn't open her mouth to refute.
A few more breaths passed.
She moved her steps, ready to turn around and go to the back of the first floor to look for Willard.
As Spencer said, compared to himself as a civilian, Willard, who has been solving mysterious incidents on the spot in the past few years, may be the best person to negotiate with.
But at this moment, Ronald suddenly spoke:
"Miss Mapel, please wait a moment."
"Someone left a note for you at the front desk."
As he spoke, Ronald tore off the notes he had taken yesterday from under the counter, folded them in half briefly and handed them to Ms. Mapel.
After taking the piece of paper, Mapel immediately opened it and took a look.
Although Ronald's handwriting was rather sloppy, she still barely recognized the words above.
"..."
——The eyes changed from doubtful to solemn;
——From dignified to firm;
——In the end, the look in his eyes changed from determination to one who takes responsibility.
"Thanks, Ronald."
Folding the piece of paper and stuffing it into his pocket as if nothing had happened, Mapel raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.
"Willard is not with the headquarters for the time being."
"Spencer, whether you want it or not, you'd better talk to me now."
"I know much better about Burrenwich than you do."
Spencer immediately said perfunctorily with dissatisfaction:
"You are a clerical worker, I have nothing to say to you..."
"How could there be nothing to say!"
This time, Mapel interrupted before the other party finished speaking.
Taking an aggressive step forward, she said in the same tone of voice:
"I am now the head of the Burrenwich Investigation Bureau."
"If you don't want to, you can go ask Hood for instructions."
"I remember that when you came this time, you also had to install that thing called a radio here. Isn't that too troublesome?"
"..."
This time, it was Spencer's turn to be silent.
He did not respond to questions from Mapel.
Weighing his personal emotions against the order issued by his superior in the Investigation Bureau, he finally nodded [Biquge www.biqugeso.me] with an ugly expression.
"Okay, let's go up and talk."
"Ronald, you go and watch here."
Giving Ronald an encouraging look, Miss Mapel immediately took away five investigators from the Springs headquarters.
Hearing a group of people disappearing down the stairs, and a low voice coming from above.
Ronald looked as normal, scratching his head as if this matter had nothing to do with him. He took out less than half of the books he had just read from the bottom of the cabinet.
——Just keep reading.
Compared with the grievances and hatreds of the Investigation Bureau, reading a book seems to be more interesting.
He, Ronald, is a book lover!
Continuing to read along with the previous content, "Basic Occult Knowledge" did not bring him much help.
Except for the previous understanding of the nature of the world and the existence of the original scriptures.
Most of the following are records of what this warlock saw and heard during his career when he was hunted down by the Holy See.
It was an era when there was a lack of exchange of occult knowledge and a lack of information.
Special agents united by faith and trained since childhood, after forming a secret crusade organization called the Punishers, their hunt for the mysterious side is absolutely deadly.
Therefore, the following content basically teaches people how to avoid being pursued by the Holy See and how to escape from death in extreme situations.
After probably flipping through it again, Ronald shook his head and put down the book.
As far as he knows so far, the current church has lost the momentum of the dark days of burning a wizard to death if he caught one.
This was an era when royal power far outweighed divine power, and the church had evolved into a force under official rule.
The content behind "Basic Occult Knowledge".
It has no effect on him.
Switching to another "Recommended for Beginner Investigators", Ronald started reading again.
Then on the first page, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahahahaha..."
"What the hell!"
On the first page of "Recommendations for Beginner Investigators", there are also tips from the author.
This is what he wrote:
——Professional investigators do not need to comply with any regulations.
——Only an idiot who dies in a mysterious incident would leave the last words "I did it according to the instructions written in the guide" while watching the ticker of life!
