Behind the mask, the tone that seemed to contain no trace of warmth was unmistakable.
Staring at the potion in the box, Ma Qi only hesitated for a moment and then drank it resolutely.
Beside him, Wayne narrowed his eyes and stared at his every move.
This kind of potion with special effects does exist, but it is extremely rare. It is generally said to be used to control the bodies of some dead soldiers, and it is expensive to make.
Of course, I don't actually have that kind of thing in my hand. The potion is just a nutrient solution with a certain amount of sugar added.
Alas, there is no way.
If some restrictions are not set on him, who knows whether this person will leak the secrets about himself for the sake of profit?
Although, even if he couldn't see the situation clearly for a while, he was sure to solve the problem again. But it is better to avoid the troubles that can be avoided.
Wayne looked very satisfied.
"The next task I will assign to you, you must do it alone, and you are not allowed to go with anyone else." He ordered in a deep voice.
"In addition, I will also prepare the funds for the mission. If you complete it well, I will not be stingy with bonuses and other things after you come back."
With my own status, some things are not suitable to rely on the power of the family.
And if she wants to ask Songli to take action, it is likely that something bad will happen because of her personal emotions.
To sum up, it is better to just go it alone.
After warning him of the things he should pay attention to, Wayne knocked him out and then took him to a hotel he rented for a long time.
Although March is now a magician, his limited magic power can only be used to his advantage in front of ordinary people.
But this is enough.
Dropping a bag of coins next to him, Wayne climbed through the window and left the hotel.
…
"Wayne, our publishing house has made an appointment with the City Guard for an exclusive interview."
After meeting Stephanie who came to report on the work, Chris told Wayne about the incident in a rather strange tone.
Today is a rare weekend with no schedule.
The weather has turned cooler, and outside the window are thick clouds that are slightly dark in color, and it looks like it is about to rain.
"Hmm. Wouldn't that be nice?"
Wayne occupied Chris's sofa chair in a very relaxed posture, holding in his hand a miscellaneous book that she had been reading recently.
The content inside probably tells a slightly old-fashioned sailing adventure story.
"But this hot case is not that simple." Chris sat down about two centimeters away from him.
"I heard that the prisoner was captured on the spot by Ecos, a special operations officer of the City Guard."
Wayne's eyes stayed on the page for a moment.
Then he answered nonchalantly: "Is it the 'Pig Man' case? It's being spread everywhere."
"……Um."
Chrissy nodded, her expression slightly distressed.
"Modric originally wanted to interview Ecos in person in order to obtain first-line intelligence——"
Please don't!
"——It's a pity that this proposal was rejected just after it was conveyed to the city guard." She seemed to feel it was a pity.
Hearing this, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the city guards are quite particular and do not take the special treatment they receive as nothing.
After all, Ecos is a "maverick" person who has publicly stated that she refuses all personal invitations and will not participate in any social events.
"Alas." Chris sighed, "If nothing happened to Bulwer, maybe we could still find him as an intermediary and meet with Miss Echos. But now that the City Guard is in chaos, we can't do it anymore. It’s out of context.”
Wayne couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Does Chris also want to meet that Ecos?" He asked slightly surprised.
"Well... how should I put it? It doesn't matter if we meet or not." Chris said ambiguously. "I'm curious, but..."
"If it brings additional inconvenience to my life, then forget it and just let it be."
Although she spoke carefreely, judging from the look on her face, her mental activities seemed to be very tangled.
Seeing this, Wayne couldn't help but subconsciously fantasize about what it would be like if he met Chris as Echo.
Immediately, he couldn't help but shook his head vigorously to wave away the horrible scenes he was thinking of.
These two identities must be firmly distinguished!
Otherwise, once the gang is betrayed, there will probably be a tragic ending like the end of the world.
"It is said that he is a guy with a bad temper and is very difficult to get along with." Wayne did not hesitate to smear himself. "We don't understand why he stayed in Lownes, so we still keep a distance from him. Better."
"That's right."
Chrissy was noncommittal.
"What the City Guards say is that it's okay to know the inside story of the case, but it must be published in accordance with their requirements."
"Stephanie came to me today because of this matter and asked me what my opinion was. The publisher will have to give a response by next Monday."
Chris placed her legs on the sofa with a troubled look on her face.
"It's easy to start something, but it's hard to stick to it," she lamented.
Wayne smiled slightly. "What? Are you discouraged?"
"No."
She immediately denied it.
But then, she muttered in a weak voice: "In the end, I won't be the one to do it myself."
Gee, Chris, you are so arrogant.
Perhaps she figured out the trick, Chris slapped her palms and cheered up again.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you write according to their request. If it hadn't been officially disclosed by the City Guard, we wouldn't have known the detailed inside story," she said.
Listening to her rambling self-explanation, Wayne suddenly realized a problem.
"Are you talking about this opinion, is it a request made by the City Guard as a whole, or is it a request made by someone in the City Guard?" He sat up straight.
Chris was stunned for a moment.
"I... didn't ask."
She just had a brief chat with Stephanie, and then simply pushed the matter to next Monday.
[Oops...since it's the weekend, it's okay to be a little lazy, it's definitely okay! 】
Chris, who felt a little guilty under Wayne's gaze, changed the subject in embarrassment: "By the way Wayne! I have developed a new dessert, come and try it with me to see how it tastes!"
As she spoke, she forcibly took Wayne's arm and dragged him from the sofa out of the room.
Seeing that he couldn't defeat her, Wayne had no choice but to follow Chris helplessly, but his mind was not on dessert.
He was thinking about the question just mentioned.
In the current city guard... is Simon the real controller?
Wayne couldn't help but be suspicious of this.
