The unruly young man in front of him disrupted Todd's rhythm. He cleared his throat again and said, "I am the president of the local association. You can call me Todd."
The older man stretched out his hand and gestured to the fat man: "He is Marco, who is mainly responsible for the association's field affairs." Marco had food in his mouth and hummed a few times as an answer.
Todd continued to introduce: "This is..."
The young man suddenly stretched out his hand towards Xing Ze and interrupted: "Roman, in charge of internal affairs."
Xing Ze smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "I don't think I need to introduce myself. You should have seen my information."
Todd showed an awkward smile, "I just learned about your deeds. We can't get too in-depth information. After all, there are very few people who can freely enter and exit the magical world."
"Well, do you have any plans? You can't just rush into that room." Xing Ze changed the topic back to the main topic.
The head chef walked into the room with three steaks and placed them in front of the guests skillfully. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.
"I hope you like it, everyone." He said respectfully, "New friends, what would you like to have?"
"No, no need." Xing Ze waved his hand, "I just had lunch."
"Ah, please take your time, I won't disturb you." The head chef excused himself with a smile and closed the office door.
Marco was surprised and did not taste the tender and juicy steak immediately. Instead, he said to Xing Ze: "We are not that stupid. We have done a full investigation."
He turned around, picked up the briefcase behind his butt and handed it to Xing Ze, "The information is all in there, you can take a look."
Xing Ze opened his briefcase and took out a few pieces of information to look at. They were the structural diagram of the old house and a rough map of the nearby cemetery.
Taking advantage of Xing Ze's research, Marco quickly cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. After chewing a few bites, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"That's great, just right." He praised. Then he turned to Todd and said, "Who are you going to let go with you?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Ze closed the document and said, "If you want to send people to go with me, then no need. I like to go alone."
Todd never touched the steak in front of him. He thought for a moment and said, "What if we go with you?"
These words caused the other two people to stop what they were doing. Roman was the first to react. He replied with an indifferent expression: "I have an opinion. What about you, Marco? How long have you been out in the field? You can still do it.
OK?"
Marco was obviously irritated by these words. He frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Fuck you, Roman. When I was digging outside, you were still drinking milk. I don't have any objection."
After receiving answers from the two of them, Todd looked at Xing Ze, as if waiting for an answer from him.
Xing Ze expected that the other party would offer this condition. He thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about the plan first. Most of these materials are topographic maps and photos, which have no practical value."
"Of course these are valuable." Marco reached out his hand to retrieve the information politely. "The topographic map and house structure map can allow us to make deployments and formulate survey routes.
"Those photos, those photos confirmed that there was something bad in that house. Didn't you see the claw marks in the photos? These are all left by those terrible things. And the previous batch of association members who went in, their
The report also indicated that something bad had happened."
Marco has been emphasizing bad things. Xing Ze guessed that the thing should be the monster he met in Emberhead Village.
The invisible creature cannot be caught on camera, confirming reports from society members that it is an unknown attacker.
Xing Ze was more curious about how those members escaped than this. The demon ghost was not slow and its claws were quite sharp. Coupled with its invisibility, there should be very few prey that could escape from its hands.
Just look at Kelly's fate and you'll understand. The unfortunate girl walked into the woods near Emberhead Village alone. She thought she could escape, but she didn't expect to be torn into pieces by those monsters.
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is. But this pile of things can only prove that there is indeed a dream thing moving in the house. Is there anything you can do to deal with it?"
When the dream object was mentioned, the expressions of the three managers of the association sank. Todd nodded to Roman, who said: "Of course we have a plan, and we also have a way to deal with the dream object.
Ready. However, you said you like to act alone. I don't know if our plan will affect you."
The back office manager was indeed very talkative. His words forced Xing Ze to make a decision, either to cooperate to obtain the plan, or to continue to work alone and get nothing.
Xing Ze exhaled a long breath impatiently and asked, "You know my identity. Continuing to anger me will not do you any good."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Both Marco and Roman quietly stretched their hands to their waists, and their actions did not escape Xing Ze's eyes.
Except for his expression getting colder, Todd didn't show much panic. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Of course we know who you are, Xing Ze. So, necessary measures are still needed."
"
Xing Ze frowned and moved his fingers on his hand under the table. Blue Beak was sensed and made some responses. Then he tried to mobilize the magic power around him, but failed. Even he
He couldn't mobilize the small amount of magic power restored in his body.
He looked at the cup of green tea and understood the secret. From the moment he came in until now, the only thing he had taken into his mouth was the cup of green tea, which should have been filled with decoction to suppress magic power.
"Poisoning is not a gentleman's act." Xing Ze whispered, his tone so deep that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Roman almost pulled out the pistol from his waist, but fortunately he suppressed the fear in his heart. He comforted himself in his heart that the wizard in front of him was already a turtle in the urn.
The bullets in his pistol were exorcism bullets, which could easily break the wizard's defensive spell. Even if he was fully prepared before entering the house, these bullets would kill him.
"The gentleman is dead a long time ago." Todd replied cheerfully, "Please forgive me, Xing Ze, in view of your deeds, we have to be careful in dealing with you."
It seems that these people really understand themselves deeply. Xunrel Jezebeth lied to him. These managers are not arrogant fools. Oh, they are indeed arrogant, but they are definitely not stupid.
While the three of them were feeling proud, Xing Ze moved his feet and glanced down. He saw a corner of the magic circle drawn under the carpet. It was obviously this magic circle that influenced him to investigate the magic power of the outside world.
