Chapter 167 Blackstone Security Company
Old John observed Shade's expression:
"This is Really good stuff, if it weren't for the fact that you were introduced by Luysha and the others, I wouldn't have proposed this deal."

Shade was very emotional, but calm on the surface:

" So what about the price? Or the side effects? Could it be that Ash Water is just hard to drink?"

"Side effects? Oh, it's actually nothing." :
"It's just a strong mental pollution. The stronger the supernatural power of the brand, the stronger the pollution you will encounter when you drink the water, but if you survived at that time, there would be no big problem. Detective, how about it, Do you want to change?"

Shade is not afraid of spiritual pollution. In the afterglow state of divinity, he can even face the saints, and the pollution characteristics of relics are definitely not comparable to real gods.

"Although [Demoness's carbon paper] is very good, it's obviously worth more to me. Immortal Body, which has a price, is also Immortal Body."

Shade tapped on the counter.

"Of course not one for one. Two carbon papers, one finger bone for yours."

The old man had a smile on his face, and he believed that Shade would not refuse.

"Okay, I'll think about it again."

"What else to consider? Do you want to add more money? Oh, youngster, I really don't earn you this time."

"no no no."

Shade shook his head:
"This thing is not my own, if I choose to exchange it, the other party doesn't want [Demoness' carbon paper], I Where can I pay the four-digit gold pounds?"

He took out the wallet in his pocket, paid for the time key first, and put the small delicate wooden box back into his pocket.

"Then you can reply to me as soon as possible. My business here is very good, so I can't leave you for too long."

"I'll be back in an hour."

Shade said, old John waved at him and picked up the newspaper beside him bored:

"As soon as possible. If you want to get the commission, you can introduce me to your friends, old man. John's pawn shop has everything!"

He still sells his business.

“Does the Orthodox Church also do business?”

“If you don’t do this, I won’t do any business related to Orthodox Church.”

"That would be a pity."

Shade's original plan was to report directly to MI6 after leaving the pawn shop. But it was still early, and the reporting time did not stipulate that it must be in the morning, so he paid for the carriage again to go to the address left by Miss Beas last night.

And as expected, on Monday morning, Miss Beas, who had a regular job, was not at home. When Shade knocked on the door, the landlady who opened the door instead looked at him like a burglar, refusing to reveal where Miss Bayas had gone.

But thinking about it, I know that if there is no mission, Miss Beas must be in the stronghold of Blackstone Security Company. Shade knew the address of the security company. What he was concerned about was whether it was appropriate for him, as a correspondence ring warlock, to directly break into the stronghold of the Orthodox Church.

"But since I will definitely have a deeper relationship with Miss Beas in the future, it's impossible not to approach that security company. It's just a matter of sooner or later"

He checked Take a look at the things you carry on your body, and hide the [Spear of Kindness], [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] and [Infernal Corpse Remains] in a place where you can't see it directly, and then go to Blackstone Security Company. The apartment that Miss Bayas rented was only half an hour's walk away, and Shade wouldn't pay for the carriage.

The location of Blackstone Security Company is in the area between the north and west districts of Tobesque. The security company occupies an entire three-story building with signs hanging outside.

The business carried out here overlaps with Shade's detective agency, but the security company is only used to cover up the identity of the warlock squad, so it is generally not accepted by the ordinary person unless they have no tasks at that time. .

Shade walked to this street named Swan Castle Street, looking at the towering buildings and hurried pedestrians, knowing that this street is a famous commercial street in the Western Region of Tobesque, The offices of large factories and merchants who run multinational commerce are gathered here.

The small building of Blackstone Security Company is not conspicuous on this busy street, because one side is the Tax Office of Tobesque City, and the other side is Lengshuigang City "Good Taste Aquatic Products Union". The company's office in Tobesque.

The buildings of both are very stylish, and the small building in between is somewhat unremarkable.

Shade looked up to confirm that the house number was correct before entering the slightly narrow first-floor door.

On the first floor, opposite the door, is the reception. A middle-aged woman in uniform used to knitting wool against a magazine, and a white cat lay beside the wool basket. At least at first glance, this is a very ordinary security company.

Seeing someone coming, the lying white cat looked at Shade curiously, while the middle-aged woman hurriedly put down her work:
"Sir, may I ask you something? Do I need to entrust it?"

"Ring warlock?"

he asked in the heart.

[Yes, but not strong. ]

"No, I'm looking for Miss Iluna Beas."

He said simply, he was not nervous, but he stopped at the door and did not intend to continue. Going inside:

"I'm a detective from St. Teresa Square. She went to my place to investigate some things last week. Before leaving, she said that if there are any details that need to be added, she can come here to find her."

The middle-aged woman looked him up and down:
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

Then she hurried to the interior of the building and heard the sound of going upstairs went. The white cat who was "glare like a tiger watching his prey" on the wool ball stood up and ran to Shade's feet. While circling around his feet, he rubbed his body against the cuffs of his trousers.

"en? It seems that since I came to this world, I am always so popular with cats, why is this?" Behind him, the latter made a pleasant "meow" sound.

"It's really rare, the cats we have here are usually very aggressive towards strangers."

Hearing Miss Beas' voice, Shade stood up. didn't expect the white cat to stand up straight on its hind legs, as if it wanted Shade to hug it.

Miss Bayas and the middle-aged female receptionist both laughed, and Shade could only pick up the cat, which was at least twice the size of Mia, and it seemed to like Shade.

Probably because Shade was welcomed by the security company's "domestic cat", coupled with Miss Beas's friendly attitude, the middle-aged female receptionist did not doubt Shade's identity.

Shade hinted that he had something to talk about, and Miss Beas, who knew it, led him to the lounge on the first floor that was temporarily unused. This is where the security company's warlocks rested. The normal office area is on the second floor.

"Detective, why did you suddenly come to me? We just parted ten hours ago, do you need help?"
