The ancient bells rang, solemn and melodious, and the winter in Polnia came so suddenly. Every corner of the streets and alleys was filled with chill, and you could feel the coldness while lying on the bed.
The light beams of the patrol airship fell one after another, like glowing monster eyes staring at the earth, roaring and whizzing by.
For Lochlen, this is just the most ordinary day. He gets up to listen to the bells in the central city, washes his face and brushes his teeth, tidies up the house, hangs up the business sign when going out to take out the garbage, and then opens the Heihe River. Check the detective agency's mailbox to see if there are any new commissions to accept. If you are free, you will also go to the market to buy some ingredients and stop by Evel's house to make lunch.
He opened the door as usual, but today's familiar streets seemed slightly different. Lockran vaguely noticed something, that kind of panic and uneasiness that could not be expressed in words.
In this peaceful and peaceful residential area, something seemed to be happening. It took a lot of effort to open the frozen mailbox, and exhaled a breath of cold mist. The box was different from what I imagined. There were no messy letters. There was only a black envelope, neatly placed in the center of the box.
"New letter of entrustment?"
Locklan took out the letter in confusion. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the pattern on the fire seal. As soon as he took a step, he felt something approaching him, filled with a chill that penetrated his bones and an inexplicable fear.
When he turned around, he only saw a black cat jumping out of the empty street. It hunched over and gave him a fierce "meow" before turning around and running away quickly, leaving behind a confused Locklan. .
Returning to the warm house, he threw the letter casually into the trash can, anxiously walked around the room twice, and then took the letter out again.
He opened it quickly and roughly, and what was inside was just a simple lawyer's letter.
…
I don’t know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the sky outside the window was already extremely bright. I struggled to get up, packed up all the dirty and damaged clothes, and took a hot bath by the way.
As soon as I finished washing, I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw that it was the landlord who had delivered the bill. He calculated his few savings and found only three gold gallons and a bunch of odds and ends. There are about twenty copper naels, so it is not a big problem to survive for a period of time.
There were some noises coming from next door. I looked up and saw Chu Dong dressed in thick black clothes and a hat, slowly walking down the stairs carrying a huge package.
"Need help? Miss Chudong."
The landlord is always so enthusiastic.
"Need not."
But he could only respond with a faint response.
After settling the bill, the landlord left. Before he remembered to collect the relics, his original goal was to investigate Yulia's curse. According to the prompts in the notebook, members of the Witch Cult had arrived in Polnia. , then continue to pursue this clue.
First of all, they need to get information about the Witch Sect.
Rena's role was revealed at this moment. Without wasting time, she put on her new thickened windbreaker and scarf and set off directly to the Black Hat Hotel.
It was late, and there were many people coming in and out of the hotel. Most of them were well-dressed and even mysteriously dressed, not wanting anyone to identify themselves.
Jiang Chenchuan had been here once before, and the lady at the front desk recognized him at a glance. She didn't know who she turned around to say or what she said. As soon as she expressed her intention to come, Reina came up from upstairs with her long skirt "thumping". Trot down.
"Evel, are you okay?"
Reina was very happy to see Jiang Chenchuan. She stepped forward to greet him, and the ladies waiting around for an opportunity also relaxed their vigilance.
"Just get some sleep and you'll be fine."
Jiang Chenchuan replied in a calm voice. Last time he came in a hurry and only observed the surrounding environment. This time he had time to take a good look at the interior furnishings. As soon as he entered the entrance hall, he could see the logo of the Black Hat Hotel hanging on the wall. Then It is an oil painting, hanging in the most conspicuous position.
Behind the front desk is what looks like a display rack, with various bottles and cans on display and various labels attached. They update the transaction information on the nameplate every day and put the corresponding newspapers on the newspaper rack.
"By the way, why are you here! I was surprised when they told me that you came to see me."
Reina greeted Jiang Chenchuan while leading him upstairs. There were many people in the hall and it was complicated. When she went upstairs, she almost bumped into a woman wearing a black mask. It wasn't that Jiang Chenchuan didn't look at the road, but It was when the man passed him that he suddenly turned around and almost accidentally bumped into each other.
"Excuse me."
Jiang Chenchuan spoke first, but the woman did not respond and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
Lena turned around and asked curiously.
"nothing?"
Jiang Chenchuan looked at the woman's leaving figure strangely. At that moment, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain the specific reason, so he had to shake his head and continue walking upstairs.
The second floor extends to both sides, and you can see the lobby from the corridor. Compared to the bustle on the first floor, the upstairs is relatively quiet.
"follow me."
Reina led the way, opened a room that seemed to be used for reception, greeted Jiang Chenchuan to sit down, and explained unhurriedly:
"Don't be nervous. No one will be here at this time. If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Reina looked confident. She was sure that Jiang Chenchuan must have something to say when he came this time.
"Indeed, you guessed it right."
Jiang Chenchuan admitted frankly.
"So, this time it's finally my turn to take over your commission, great!"
Her emerald eyes were full of excitement. She, who had been asking Jiang Chenchuan for help, finally had the time to turn around.
"Tell me, what is it?"
"How much do you know about the Witch Sect?"
Jiang Chenchuan didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point.
Rena was slightly startled when she heard the word "witch". She, who was always so carefree, actually showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Witch...well..."
"how?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked in time.
"It is true that that sect has always been mysterious. Apart from knowing the curse, few people know about it. In fact, I don't know much about it. I got most of the information from the information in the Black Hat Hotel.
The Witch Sect is a mysterious organization originating from the city of Ronark, the capital of the abyss. It is said that most of its members are composed of women. They are powerful, but they rarely show up. They use taking lives as a means of making a living. They are Luo Narc City is known as the "Devil who kills without blinking an eye" and is wanted throughout the city. If there are clues about the Witch Sect, millions of dollars can be obtained. "
"Will they lift the curse?"
This is what Jiang Chenchuan is most concerned about.
"If the information from the hotel is correct, yes, but...if you want to ask the Witch Sect for help, you will have to pay a heavy price."
