Before planning his next move, he made a phone call to Lu Li's detective agency.
The distorted voice on the other side was unfamiliar and unrecognizable. It was not anyone who had ever talked with Lu Li.
"You don't know me, but I know you. You have already made a name for yourself in our exorcism community."
"I don't think fame is so easy to gain." Lu Li replied calmly.
"Uh... these are polite words... do you understand polite words?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Li asked, "Who are you."
"It's confidential, but I can tell you that our organization is called 'Healthy and Happy Every Day'. In fact, we originally wanted to call it 'The Exorcist Alliance', but it sounds too indistinct."
Lu Li asked directly: Is there something wrong?"
"Of course. I need to make some small money to support my family and take care of a few beautiful girls, and you also need to get more shillings and earn some shillings appropriately. So are you interested in cooperating?"
"Not yet."
Of course Lu Li needs money, but he will not be stupid. It is obviously not a wise thing to cooperate with an organization of unknown origin.
Before he learns the truth about this world, Lu Li has no intention of contacting any organization, whether official or private.
The other person on the phone was worried that Lu Li would hang up, so he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, don't refuse in a hurry, I know you are short of money."
Lu Li's black eyes narrowed slightly: "Who told you?"
Anna, who was looking at the street scenery from the window, turned her head curiously.
"Uh... myself. Our 'Healthy and Happy Every Day' intelligence network told me that you have been crazy about accepting commissions recently. As a new exorcist, you either want to die or you are short of money."
Lu Li was silent for a moment, then answered: "Continue."
"I am an information collector. You may not quite understand what this is, uh... it's probably similar to a bulletin board? It just helps buyers find sellers, and helps sellers find buyers..."
"intermediary?"
"What is an intermediary? Hey wait, I thought of how to describe it, intermediary! That's right, intermediary, you can understand that my job is an intermediary. Damn, it's not easy to come up with a word that reasonably introduces my identity... So let's get to the point:
Mr. Lu Li, we at Healthy and Happy Every Day have a commission that you are very interested in——"
"First, let's talk about what 'healthy and happy every day' means." Lu Li interrupted the other party mercilessly.
"The name of our organization. We can do anything, just pay us. It's not what you think. You can tell from the name of the organization that we are a healthy, progressive, positive, and lively organization. We guarantee that we will not be targeted by the police station.
Even though we don’t have a business license yet.”
"What is the purpose of your organization?"
"Uh... just... looking for commissions, then looking for exorcists, helping each other contact each other, making money in the middle, etc..."
"So you have a commission suitable for me, right?"
"Yes Mr. Exorcist, I guarantee it will suit you perfectly."
"Why do you say that?"
"Uh...because that's what the client meant."
Lu Li said thoughtfully: "Are you saying that the client named me and I will take over the commission?"
"That's not true. He just requires a conscientious, sincere and silent exorcist, preferably a newcomer, to be in charge of this event."
"Your information gathering ability is indeed good." Lu Li commented casually. "Tell me about the content of the commission."
"Have you decided to give it a try?!"
The other end of the phone exclaimed, but Lu Li did not answer this meaningless question. After a few seconds of silence, a voice came from the other end: "Mr. Lu Li, you can come to our 'Healthy and Happy Every Day' street corner, and I will tell you then."
The specific details of your entrustment——"
"I don't plan to leave the detective agency, so if anything happens, let me know on the phone." Lu Li interrupted.
"Uh, okay, as the saying goes, capable people are always very proud. If you change your mind, you can contact me, just call me. I don't know which son of a bitch keeps reporting my phone number, asking for it
This number will be canceled soon. You can come to me at one of the dozens of "Healthy and Happy Everyday" contact points. The address is No. 49, Red Grape Street. There is a pile of scrap metal in the yard.
."
"Knock on the door and remember nine shallow and one deep. This is the code. If you knock wrongly, I might think it's the group of sharks and run away hehe..."
The other party began to talk a lot to himself again. The speed of speech was extremely fast, and the distortion of the phone caused a noisy and sharp sound, which gave people a headache.
Lu Li suddenly felt a little tired, so he sat down in his seat and said in a calm voice without any emotion: "So... can we start talking about the content of the commission now?"
"Well, of course... the client's nephew and his friends want to explore the sewers, but there have been some weird rumors there recently. The client doesn't want to stop his nephew and is worried about his comfort, so he is willing to pay 160 shillings to invite a
The exorcist protects you in secret."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
In terms of the content of the entrustment, the intermediary was surprisingly concise.
temporary.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that it's actually 200 shillings, but I want to take a 20% commission. Uh... if you're not satisfied, we can discuss it. You know, our 'Healthy and Happy Everyday' is a positive organization, let's
The satisfaction of every member and collaborator is our second criterion, and the first criterion is to ensure the completion of the task."
"How can I protect my own interests?"
Lu Li asked a question, which successfully diverted the attention of the chattering opponent.
"Don't worry, if you accept the commission, we will send 50% of the deposit to the detective agency. Of course, 20% of the 50% has already been deducted, so you will get 80--"
"Entrust time, place, and who needs to be protected."
"Well... you'll get 80 shillings."
The other party still insisted on the principle and finished what he had been interrupted.
"If you agree to accept the commission, I will send it to the detective agency together with the deposit before this afternoon."
"Well, bring it over."
After replying, Lu Li put down the phone without hesitation.
The words that were brewing were hung up as the phone was hung up, and did not ring in the detective agency.
The detective agency returns to peace.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a letter was delivered to the door by the postman.
There were 80 shillings inside, as well as a piece of letter paper filled with the contents of the request—even if it was changed to text, the other party couldn't stop chattering.
After silently reading the contents of the commission, Lu Li folded up the letter paper.
"Are you going to work?" Anna came over curiously and wandered aside.
"Um."
Lu Li stopped folding the letter and handed it to Anna.
Anna subconsciously took it and didn't think of anything until her palm penetrated the letter paper. She controlled her telekinesis to bring the letter to her face.
"The sewers on Coast Street... It sounds like it's very dirty."
"And it's going to be very dark."
Lu Li picked up the oil lamp and said without raising his head.
