Chapter 166: Black Stone Security Company

Old John observed Xia De's expression:

"This is truly good stuff. If it weren't because you were introduced by Lu Yisha and the others, I wouldn't have proposed this deal."

Xia De was very moved internally, but remained calm on the surface:

"Then what is the price? Or rather, what are the side effects? It shouldn't just be that the ash water is hard to drink, right?"

"Side effects? Oh, actually there's nothing."

Old John said lightly:

"It's just strong mental pollution. The stronger the branded supernatural ability, the more intense the pollution encountered when drinking the water, but if you survived it at that time, there wouldn't be any big problems. Detective, how about it, do you want to exchange?"

Xia De was least afraid of mental pollution. In the state of divine radiance, he could even face gods directly. The pollution characteristics of relics definitely couldn't compare to real gods.

"Although 【Witch's Carbon Paper】 is quite good, obviously this value of mine is greater. An immortal body with side effects is also an immortal body."

Xia De tapped the counter table.

"Of course it's not one-for-one. Two sheets of carbon paper, exchange for your one finger bone."

The old man had a smile on his face. He believed Xia De wouldn't refuse.

"Then okay, I'll consider it again."

"What else to consider? Still want to add money? Oh, young man, this time I really didn't make money from you."

"No, no, no."

Xia De shook his head:

"This thing is not my own. If I choose to exchange, but the other party doesn't want 【Witch's Carbon Paper】, where am I going to compensate for the four-digit gold pounds?"

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

"Then give me a reply as soon as possible. My business here is very good, I can't keep it for you for too long."

"I'll be back in an hour."

Xia De said. Old John waved his hand at him and picked up the newspaper on the side boredly:

"Then hurry up. If you want to get a commission, you can introduce my place to your friends. Old John Pawnshop has everything!"

He still didn't forget to promote his business.

"Do you also do business with the Zhengshen Sect?"

"I don't do this one. I don't do any business related to the Zhengshen Sect."

"Then that's a pity."

Xia De's original plan was to go directly to Military Intelligence Section 6 to report after leaving the pawnshop. But it was still early, and the reporting time didn't specify it had to be in the morning, so he took a carriage again to the address left by Miss Beiyasi last night.

And as expected, on Monday morning, Miss Beiyasi, who had a legitimate job, was indeed not at home. After Xia De knocked on the door, the landlady looked at him with the eyes of guarding against thieves and refused to reveal where Miss Beiyasi had gone.

But thinking about it, if there was no mission, Miss Beiyasi must be at the stronghold of Black Stone Security Company. Xia De knew the address of the security company. His concern was whether it was appropriate for him, as a correspondence Ring Ringed Shushi, to break directly into the stronghold of the Zhengshen Sect.

"But since I will definitely be involved in a deeper relationship with Miss Beiyasi later, it's impossible not to approach that security company. Anyway, it's just a matter of time..."

He checked the things he carried on his body, hiding 【Kindness Gun】, 【Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice】, and 【Dead Corpse Bone】 in positions where they couldn't be seen directly, and then walked toward Black Stone Security Company... That place was only a half-hour walk from the apartment rented by Miss Beiyasi. Xia De wouldn't spend money to take a carriage again.

The location of Black Stone Security Company was in the area between the North District and the West District of Tobesk. The security company occupied a three-story small building, with a sign hanging outside.

The business conducted here overlapped with Xia De's detective agency, but the security company was just a cover for the Ring Ringed Shushi team, so they generally wouldn't accept commissions from ordinary people unless they didn't have any missions at the time.

Xia De walked to this street named Swan Castle Street. Looking at the towering buildings and the hurried pedestrians, he knew that this street was a very famous business street in the West District of Tobesk, where offices of large factories and merchants operating cross-border commerce gathered.

The small building of Black Stone Security Company was not conspicuous on this busy street, because one side was the Tobesk City Tax Bureau, and the other side was the Tobesk office of the "Good Taste Aquatic Products Joint Company" of Cold Water Port City.

Both buildings were quite imposing, while the small building between them was a bit inconspicuous.

Xia De looked up to confirm the house number was not wrong before walking into the slightly narrow downstairs door.

Facing the door on the first floor was the reception area. The middle-aged woman in uniform was originally knitting a sweater against a magazine, and a white cat was lying beside the knitting basket. At least at first glance, this was a very ordinary security company.

Seeing someone coming, the lying white cat looked at Xia De curiously, and the middle-aged woman hurriedly put down the work in her hand:

"Sir, what can I do for you? Do you need to make a commission?"

"Ring Ringed Shushi?"

He asked in his heart.

【Yes, but not strong.】

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

He said simply, but didn't feel any tension, but stopped at the door, not intending to continue walking inside:

"I am a detective from St. Derand Square. She went to my place to investigate some things last week, and when she left, she said that if there were any details to supplement, I could come here to find her."

The middle-aged woman looked him up and down:

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

Afterward, she walked toward the inside of the building with hurried footsteps. The sound heard was going upstairs. The white cat that was originally "coveting" the yarn ball stood up and rushed to Xia De's feet. While circling Xia De's feet, it rubbed against his trouser legs with its body.

"Hmm? It seems that after coming to this world, I am always so popular with cats. What is this because of?"

Thinking in his heart, he squatted down and patted the white cat's back, and the latter made a comfortable "meow" sound.

"Really rare, the cats we keep here are usually very fierce to strangers."

Hearing Miss Beiyasi's voice, Xia De stood up. He didn't expect the white cat to stand up on its hind legs, looking like it wanted Xia De to hold it.

Miss Beiyasi and the middle-aged female receptionist both laughed, and Xia De could only pick up the cat that was at least twice as big as Mia. It looked like it liked Xia De quite a bit.

Probably because Xia De was welcomed by the "domestic cat" of the security company, plus Miss Beiyasi's familiar attitude, the middle-aged female receptionist didn't doubt Xia De's identity.

Xia De hinted that he had something to say. Miss Beiyasi led him to a lounge on the first floor that was temporarily unused. This was for the Ring Ringed Shushi of the security company to rest, and the normal office area was on the second floor.

"Detective, why did you suddenly come to find me? We just parted ten hours ago. Do you need help with anything?" ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
