Chapter 41 Investigator - Sean (Additional chapter for the leader I am Lazy Cat Zero)
Oh oh oh!
Accompanied by the sound of the train whistle, Xiao En walked out of the bathroom at the train station.
He was wearing a loose black windbreaker and a black bowler hat. His outfit made him look a bit like a private detective from Dorne, which made passers-by stare at him for a moment.
Xiao En really didn't expect that Mr. Men would actually send him to this position.
He walked out of the mirror.
There are dark clouds in the sky and it might rain today.
"It looks like there are many gates leading to weird kingdoms throughout Dorne." Xiao En looked at the people passing by and thought to himself, "Is it a hidden teleportation array?"
Mr. Men is also an unfathomable and strange existence.
Xiao En carried his suitcase and followed the crowd out of the train station. He looked like an ordinary traveler. There was a huge crowd of people near the train station. There were many migrant workers at this time of year.
Urbanization is gradually concentrating the population.
At the exit of the train station, Xiao En saw a familiar figure.
Benjamin Tillion.
He was still wearing a neat suit, a tall top hat, and holding a black umbrella in his hand. His tall and slender figure stood out among the crowd. He had a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and facial features like those of ancient Greek statues, which attracted the attention of many young women passing by.
A respectable gentleman.
"Welcome back, Sean." Benjamin greeted with a smile.
Xiao En pretended to be flattered and jokingly said, "Why is it the captain who came to pick me up?"
Benjamin was as humble and polite as ever, and said calmly, "I happen to be on vacation today."
At this moment, Xiao En noticed a somewhat timid figure.
It's him?
Xiao En saw a boy who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked at him with a trace of awe. The boy was standing behind Benjamin. After noticing Xiao En's gaze, he stepped forward timidly and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Xiao En."
One of the two thieves who stole Sean's wallet, the youngest one.
Benjamin introduced, "Jeff Fan."
"Trainee investigator."
"Hank is on vacation right now, so I'll be taking care of him for now."
Has this been incorporated?
Xiao En nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "Hank hasn't come back yet?"
Hank is the fisherman from the docks.
A senior investigator.
A bit talkative.
If Sean remembered correctly, Hank had already started his vacation at that time. Sean had been studying with Ms. Hecate for more than two months, and Hank should have ended his vacation long ago. After all, investigators only have about three months of vacation time a year.
Benjamin lowered his voice a little and whispered, “He accidentally came into contact with the mirror demon some time ago.”
"Headquarters granted him an extra half month's vacation."
Mirror monster?
Unspeakable vanity?
Xiao En nodded silently. After the investigator came into contact with the strange creatures, he did need to adjust his mental state.
The real world has always been invaded by weird things, investigators, night watchmen, death patrollers, and Sean doesn't know if there are any higher-level existences, but the extraordinary people have been silently guarding the peace of the real world and maintaining the cornerstone of the real order.
Without order, reality ceases to exist.
He didn't know if it was Xiao En's illusion, but he felt that the boy who had stolen his wallet was a lot shorter than the last time they met.
It is normal for people to grow taller.
It is very abnormal that people will become shorter and shorter.
Benjamin came this time by car, a more retro old-model car. The driver was William, who greeted Sean with a smile.
“He’s very talented.”
Benjamin glanced at the half-grown boy behind him, and seemed to sense Sean's doubts, and whispered, "Halfling bloodline, wanderer path."
"It's just that I was young and went astray."
"We've investigated his family background and it's very clean. He has a mother with tuberculosis, a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are very young. His father died unexpectedly at an early age. The higher-ups plan to train him." Xiao En nodded silently, not asking any questions that he shouldn't.
It takes a bit of luck for ordinary people to advance to extraordinary people. Those who have a drastic change in personality and show signs of losing control right after being promoted are dangerous targets. The Night Watch headquarters has its own set of evaluation standards, and there is a very strict review process for recruiting extraordinary people from outside.
Halfling bloodline?
So the extraordinary relic he fused contained the genes of the legendary race? No wonder Xiao En had no time to react during their first fight.
The agility of a halfling is unmatched by humans.
Many extraordinary relics from the outside world are not pure, they contain some dangerous impurities.
Part of the extraordinary essence comes from the 'Supreme Mother Goddess, the Mother of Evil, the Dark Mother Tree, the Black Goat that gave birth to thousands of offspring'. She is the pillar-level Old One in the flesh and blood realm. In the Dark Age, she devoured all the legendary races except humans, and the genes of these races will condense into fruits with grotesque powers along with the twisted trees in the dark forest.
More than half of the evil creatures in the weird kingdom were bred by him.
These evil creatures carry the genes of legendary races from old times, so the extraordinary people who advance through this path will eventually change their racial template.
This path of advancement involves greater talent, higher pollution, and the greatest chance of losing control.
There were people who specifically searched for the gene seeds of the 'mythical race'.
The 'Madam' that Sean had fought before had digested the genetic sequence of the elves, and her physical fitness was far superior to that of Benjamin and others.
Large pendulum clock.
It was still the same apartment as the first one, Building 3, Room 12B. The familiar environment made Xiao En feel at home.
When he got off the bus, he saw a little girl selling flowers.
The other person's gaze lingered on Xiao En for a moment, with a hesitant expression on his little face. When he saw Xiao En waving, he trotted over happily.
"Good morning, sir." The little girl greeted very politely.
Xiao En took out a 1 dinar note and picked a bunch of light yellow chrysanthemums from the other person's hand.
The little girl handed over the change and thanked him, "Thank you, sir. Have a nice day."
The room is still the same.
It seemed that no one else had moved in since he left.
Benjamin had other things to do, so he left after picking up Xiao En. He will take him to the headquarters to officially take up his post tomorrow.
"It's still more comfortable to live here."
Sean took off his coat and put away the four revolvers. There was a small bottle filled with sulfur in his lining pocket. After thinking about it, he put it back in his pocket.
Someone had cleaned it in advance, and the eggs, milk, seasonings, etc. seemed to have been replaced.
"Once you officially start working, you will have to pay the bills yourself."
"But fortunately, investigators receive housing subsidies."
Xiao En made himself a cup of black tea, went to the balcony and looked out at the bustling market in the distance, muttering, "The real world is still better!..."
Weird country.
Someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward. Maybe one day, Xiao En will also have to take on a heavy burden.
There is no free lunch in this world.
After Xiao En came into this world, he needed to take responsibility for the favors he received and the rights he enjoyed.
Park area.
There weren't that many pedestrians in the afternoon, just some college students having a picnic.
Xiao En came to the standing nameless stone tablet and presented a bunch of pale yellow chrysanthemums in his hand.
“I know you’ve been here before.”
"I'm not that desperate." Sean took off his hat and bowed deeply.
The sun is shining brightly.
Xiao En looked up at the sun. The breeze blew away the dark clouds and cast its dazzling light on the earth.
Investigator-Sean.
