"I joined the job half a month ago." Lu Li answered briefly.
Petra is also an ordinary investigator, but he has been an investigator for more than two years and has far more experience than Lu Li.
In other words, a high level among investigators can represent ability, as can a long time in the job - it means they live a long time.
Petra suddenly nodded: "Don't worry, the Shadow of the Thread is easy to deal with. If you don't mind, we can form a team and solve this ritual together."
Lu Li was focused on something else at the moment: "Are you here to investigate the evil spirit incident?"
"Of course not. The investigators did not announce this incident." Petra shrugged. "I was just traveling here and happened to hear that a baron was recruiting exorcists. I came here to see the excitement."
Investigators are mostly full of exploration, like moths.
"Where's the night watchman?"
"You mean, do they have a mission? Of course not, otherwise you would have seen those unsmiling guys blocking this place."
After receiving the answer, Lu Li remained silent.
The fact that Baron Joseph was attacked by an evil spirit is inexplicably disturbing.
It's not the incident itself, but the fact that both organizations ignored this evil spirit.
On the bright side, maybe they thought the Evil Baron could be dealt with on their own, so they didn't intervene. On the worst side...the two major organizations had no time to deal with the evil spirits that appeared in Belfast.
According to Lu Li's understanding of them, the possibility of the former is extremely slim.
"Excuse me."
Lu Li stood up and said, with Petra's gaze pushing open the door of the reception room and walking into the hall.
In the middle of the hall, a man with a muscular upper body was smearing animal fat on his body. Baron Joseph huddled lazily on the sofa, watching the performance boredly. The movement at the door of the reception room made her glance sideways, and then excitedly
He sat up straight, waved his hand and said to the butler: "Give me a tip and send this circus member out like his colleagues."
No longer paying attention to the stunned exorcist, Baron Joseph watched Lu Li walk to the sofa with intense eyes.
"I want to quit."
Lu Li's words made Baron Joseph's good mood disappear instantly. He frowned and refused: "No, you must stay!"
As he finished speaking, a chilly aura that made one's hair stand on end spread around Lu Li.
The exorcist, who was being invited out of the mansion by the maid, couldn't help but turn around. His face was horrified, and layers of goosebumps appeared on his bare upper body. The inspiration that had been greatly improved after applying oil was sending him an early warning.
But how could a human being exude a terrifying aura like a resentful spirit...
The butler seemed to have noticed something. He pursed his lips and protected the baron behind his back. His tone remained calm as usual: "Did your Excellency say something to you?"
Lu Li looked at the butler, noncommittal.
The conversation between the smart people was very simple. The butler nodded and said: "We haven't signed the power of attorney yet. If you feel it's inappropriate, of course you can withdraw -"
"I don't agree!"
Baron Joseph interrupted the housekeeper loudly, and the unconcealed possessiveness in his eyes made her look like a little girl facing her beloved doll.
The cold aura around Lu Li erupted more violently, the bright hall became dim, and a chilling palpitation grew in his heart.
"Anna."
Lu Li called softly.
After a few seconds of pause, the atmosphere gradually faded away, and the hall became visibly brighter again.
Lu Li tilted his head slightly and saw a figure disappearing behind the half-open door of the reception room.
Baron Joseph's face turned pale due to the impact of the breath, but he still refused to admit defeat and raised his head and stared at Lu Li.
The butler roughly realized that the Baron was very determined this time. He loosened his bitten lips and said, "You have seen the Baron's sincerity. We have no intention of hiding anything. If you agree to help the Baron get out of trouble, we will give him a generous reward."
for you."
Lu Li did not respond immediately.
It has never been Lu Li's style to take the initiative to participate in evil spirits' rituals, but the shelter has not yet been completely decorated. Lu Li needs money, and Baron Joseph is rich.
Lu Li, who had made up his mind, turned his head and whispered, "Anna, what do you think?"
He can't make a choice for Anna.
A few seconds later, Anna's answer sounded in the void.
"I'm with you. Anyone who wants to hurt you will kill me first."
Lu Li nodded slightly and looked at the butler: "Unless you meet my conditions."
"What conditions?"
Baron Joseph asked first.
"Fifty thousand shillings reward."
Lu Li deliberately stated a high price, so as to ensure that the baron would still have money left over after he counter-offered——
"Yes! I can give it to you now, Lulu, prepare 50,000 shillings for our charming Lu Li exorcist." Baron Joseph replied anxiously, even the hoarse voice he had always used to disguise it disappeared.
Lu Li frowned.
He should ask for more.
The housekeeper also frowned.
The baron's quick agreement made it difficult for her to negotiate... Forget it, it was only fifty thousand shillings, less than the daily rent of several blocks.
In any case, the deal between Lu Li and the Baron was officially concluded.
By completing this commission, Lu Li can fill the gap in the deep sea stone at the refuge point, and he no longer has to worry about finding ways to make money.
Lu Li returned to the reception room to wait, while the butler restarted the assessment with the baron's impatient expression.
Petra was still sitting in her previous seat, as if she had never moved around. He nodded to Lu Li and did not ask about what happened outside.
The external assessment obviously sped up. In the next half hour, exorcists entered the reception room one after another. It was not until a few minutes after the sixth exorcist entered that the banquet in the garden outside the window started again.
The selection is over.
The six people in the reception room were the only ones who discovered the evil spirit.
Except Lu Li.
They thought that they would be the solvers of this evil spirit ritual, but soon the housekeeper arrived and politely said to two of them: "I'm sorry, the number of places for the evil spirit ritual is limited, and we can only add up to four more people."
In order to compensate the two exorcists, the baron's house will provide a carriage to send them back and give them a reward of 2,000 shillings.
Although they felt uncomfortable, no one wanted to offend a noble, so the two exorcists left obediently.
The butler said to the remaining four people in Lu Li: "Please wait a moment, the Baron will come over and tell you the specific situation."
She briefly left the reception room. A few minutes later, the two doors of the reception room were pushed open. The baron walked in surrounded by the butler and maids, and sat at the head of the long table.
She looked around, feeling a little dissatisfied. She lightly opened her red lips and said, "It's too bright here."
The maids behind them dispersed, one after another lighting the candles in the silver candlesticks on the long table and stone pillars, and turning off the chandeliers.
boom!
Flames rose in the fireplace.
The reception room instantly became as mysterious as an old castle.
The flickering firelight illuminated the baron's profile, his red lips curved, and his lazy and hoarse voice overflowed.
