Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Phew... I've been here for so long, and I finally met Dorothy... Then it's time to cheer up and go to work."

With that said, Greg turned around and walked towards the other side of the street while smoking a cigarette.

……

From sunset to moon, night goes and day comes.

Soon, the day passed quickly, and after the second day of meeting Dorothy, Greg finally ushered in his first shift at the Anyin Headquarters.

Riding in a special carriage, Greg came to the underground parking lot of the Anyin Headquarters. After getting off the carriage, he tidied up the brown and black suit he was wearing. After glancing at the wide and dim underground parking lot, He walked quickly through a small door into the office area of ​​Anyin Headquarters.

Walking out of the security inspection corridor with a luminous lamp hanging above his head, and passing through the hall with a tall statue of the Moon Goddess Mirror, among countless unfamiliar faces, Greg passed through several security checkpoints with a luminous lamp one after another. In the end, he stopped at a door beside a long corridor. At the door here, he checked his watch, and after confirming that he was not late, he opened the door and walked in.

Behind this door is a room with simple decoration. Several gas lamps hanging from the ceiling illuminate the small space. There are two doors in the room, a blackboard on one wall, and a large square table in the middle. At the side of the square table, one woman, four men and five people were already sitting.

These five people have different appearances and ages. The young one looks about the same age as Greg, while the old one looks about 40 years old. After hearing Greg come into the room, these five people cast their gazes over. Glancing at him, Greg closed the door under the eyes of everyone, and then said with a smile.

"Good morning, everyone, it's really early for you to arrive."

Greg said in greeting, but none of the five people responded directly, except for an older and shorter person who nodded to him, the others ignored him, seeing the situation in front of them With a cold response, Greg could only shrug his shoulders secretly, and then found a seat in front of the square table and sat down.

After sitting down, Greg also began to wait silently while observing other people, and after waiting for another ten minutes, another door in the room was opened, and one of them, a 25-year-old The woman walked in.

With short yellow hair, blue eyes, a tall figure, and a firm face, this woman walked into the room with a sword on her waist and boots.

Taller than the average male, the woman wearing a modified Seeker uniform similar to an officer's uniform walked to the square table, paused for a while, glanced at the people sitting in front of her, and then spoke , said with a high-spirited tone like a declaration.

"Good morning, everyone from branches across the country. It's a pleasure to meet you. From today onwards, we will be colleagues who advance and retreat together."

The woman said so, and then she put her hand on her chest and introduced herself.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Misha DeBlanca. I was conferred by His Royal Highness Harold himself, his most loyal knight. Now I am ordered by His Royal Highness to form this Anyin General Bureau together with you. The special investigation team in the Central Administration conducts dedicated investigations on some issues within the General Administration. From now on, I will be the direct supervisor of all of you, and in the next period of time, I will work with you to eliminate Work hard to eliminate the filth within the headquarters."

The woman named Misha said so. Listening to her words, the reactions of the people below were different, but Greg knew for a while. He had heard that His Highness Harold would send the most trusted person To lead them to find the inner ghost, I didn't expect that this is the knight who sent him directly.

Chapter 340 Analysis

In the secret underground room of Tivian's Anyin Headquarters, a woman named Misha Deblanca stood in front of the table and declared her identity and purpose to the people sitting around the table in front of her.Sitting below, Greg looked at the capable woman in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

'Mischa de Blanca?The knight of His Highness Harold, that is his confidant, she looks quite young, a little older than me, less than 30 years old, so I became the knight of His Royal Highness Harold Yet?

'My current rank is Black Soil. Since this Ms. Misha can be my boss, she should be a chalk...the chalk rank is less than [-]...It's really scary. I don't know if I can do it before [-]. Promotion, I feel that the possibility is very small...'

While looking at Misha, Greg thought in his heart that his old boss, Director James of Igwent, had communicated with him about the overall situation of the internal promotion of the Anyin Bureau. Most of the staff in the bureau are ordinary people, and there are only four or five apprentice captains and one black-rank branch chief in a local branch. In this system, the vast majority of people are promoted to apprentices, which is the sky. James himself also stayed in the General Administration until he was in his 40s, slowly accumulating merit and qualifications to get promotion opportunities.

Therefore, Greg also knew that it was his luck that he caught the chance of being promoted by the black rank last time. After removing this luck factor, his work plan for himself in the General Administration is to strive for the opportunity to get a promotion inspection before the age of 40 , If you can strive to be promoted to Cretaceous before the age of 45, then you will have no regrets in this life.

Sitting on her seat, Greg continued to silently observe Misha who was not far away. At this time, she glanced at the people in front of her again, and then spoke.

"Okay, everyone will be colleagues from now on, don't be so tense, let's introduce ourselves now, name, origin, branch... Let's get to know each other about important things, so we can cooperate well in the future..."

As Misha said this, she glanced at a man in his thirties with a square face, a thick neck, and a short stature on her right, and then continued to speak.

"Start with you."

"Yes, ma'am."

The man nodded respectfully to Misha, and after looking around at the other people at the table in front of him, he began to introduce himself.

"I'm Mike Dallage, from Conflin, County Gard, and my branch is the Way of the Storm."

After the man named Mike finished speaking, it was time for his next one. He was about 40 to [-] years old, with a much stronger body and a shallow scar on his face. He was dull after Mike. The figure said.

"I'm from Noyce in North Sampson County. My name is Leo Kaldor, and my branch is the Path of Darkness."

The man had just finished speaking, and soon came the next person. It was a young man in his twenties who looked energetic, with a darker complexion, and quite energetic. He raised a hand and said with a smile.

"It's my turn. I'm Vihan Waldell. I'm from Exeter, South Lyme. It's a good place. The branch is also the bloody branch, just like the big brother just now."

The young man finished his introduction with a smile, and behind him was a thin-faced woman with short brown hair who looked about the same age as Misha. After looking at the table of people in front of her, she replied in response.

"My name is Gieve Doherto, from Kay, North Dunbarshire, Way of the Storm."

The last person to speak was an older man in his 40s with a bushy beard. He said with a smile after Jifu.

"You can call me John Dub. My hometown is Wonder Island. I used to work in the church. Now I am a healing pastor of the Way of Notre Dame. In the future, I can relieve everyone's pain during the mission. If If there is."

The oldest man sitting in Greg finished his speech, and then it was Greg's turn. He then introduced himself without being humble or overbearing.

"My name is Gregory Methhouse. I'm from Igwynte in Igwynn County. The side road is the Road of Blood Darkness. It's a pleasure to meet you again."

Greg introduced herself in this way. She opened her eyes and glanced at the people in front of her. Her gaze paused for a moment on the young man named Weihan and the man named Leo. There was no other reason, because they The two of them are Extraordinary in the Path of Blood Darkness just like themselves.

Greg knew that the secret association called the Nest of Eight Points was trying to infiltrate the Anyin Headquarters. They used information they didn't know where to get to know Harold's plan to select people with clean records from various local bureaus to fight against insiders in the Headquarters. , intercepted and killed these selected people in the middle, and replaced them with the disguise ability of Path of Blood Darkness.And Greg was also one of the targets of the interception, but with the help from Dream, he escaped the interception and replaced the interceptor in turn.

Of course, in Greg's view, since the eight-pointed nest intercepted him, he would not just intercept himself. In order to penetrate more power into the security bureau, the five people in front of him now have all The possibility of being intercepted and replaced.

However, these recruiters were apprentices when they came, and they will face promotion after they come to the headquarters, because they need to display the corresponding abilities after promotion. It is impossible to choose the path of the storm, they can only choose the path of blood darkness to pretend to be promoted, so among the five people in front of them, the two who are on the path of blood darkness have a great suspicion that the eight-pointed nest is inserted in the inner ghost.

Greg looked at the people in front of him warily. He didn't know if it was because of prudence. The Eight-pointed Nest did not tell him the information about other ghosts lurking in, so he could only guess that the two slept together. Is it an inner ghost or both are inner ghosts.

At this moment, Misha nodded slightly after seeing that everyone had finished introducing herself, and then continued to speak.

"Okay, now that everyone has gotten to know each other initially, let's start without talking nonsense. You already know what our special investigation team does? There has been a serious intelligence leak inside the General Administration, which has brought us The loss is immeasurable, so our goal is to find and remove this filth in the headquarters... Do you have any questions about this?"

Misha glanced at the people in front of her and said, while the short and thick Mike asked directly.

"Ma'am, I know that our main task is to investigate the spies inside the General Administration, but...but we have only just arrived in Tivian not long ago, and our familiarity with the entire General Administration is very limited, and we still don't understand many things. , Under these circumstances, it may be very difficult to investigate the spies? Before we investigate, can we wait until we are familiar with the overall situation of the General Administration."

Mike said this to Misha, his meaning is very simple, such a huge general office is still too unfamiliar to them, until now they have not even been able to figure out the specific operation situation, want to work in this strange It is really difficult to find incongruities in the environment of , because it is easy to not see where the problem is?

Listening to Mike's words, Misha's face did not show any fluctuations in expression, she still spoke with a calm expression.

"You don't need to spend time on these things alone. You can get familiar with the General Administration while investigating. Your main task is to listen to my command and help me. I will lead the direction of your investigation." Misha said to Everyone spoke, but the scarred Leo continued immediately.

"The direction of the investigation? That means... ma'am, do you have any idea how to find out these ghosts?"

"Yes, I have some clues now. What we need to do now is to investigate along these clues. You just need to follow my order..." Misha said so, and her words suddenly caused The curiosity of everyone present, everyone raised their heads and looked at Misha curiously.

"What are the clues of the spy...?" A young man named Wei Han asked curiously, and after a slight pause, Misha slowly came to a wall, where she After finding a rope, he grabbed it and pulled it hard, and then a large scroll painting rolled down from the top of the wall, unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, and when they looked closely, it was a picture of the whole city of Tivian. map.

Chapter 340 Analysis

Showing the huge map in front of everyone, Misha shifted her gaze to it, and then continued to speak.

"Before you even arrived at Tivian, His Royal Highness Harold had entrusted me to track down the mole of the General Administration. I spent a lot of time and launched a series of investigations in the hidden world of Tivian, and finally obtained It’s very important information.” As he spoke, Misha carefully glanced at Tivian’s city map before continuing to speak.

"I used my personal contacts in the Tivian hidden world to collect all abnormal clues. Not long ago, I learned an important piece of information. A secret association called the Nest of the Eight Points is using extremely hidden channels to other people. The association peddles relevant information from our bureau."

Hearing Misha's words, Greg paused slightly, and the woman Jifu who was not far from him asked.

"Nest of Eight Points? Does that mean this secret society is infiltrating the General Administration?"

"Yes, I have reason to believe that the Nest of Eight Points is infiltrating us. I spent a lot of money to obtain the names of some small and medium-sized associations that buy information from private sources, and found that the General Administration has indeed suffered setbacks in their actions recently. Recently, the more serious Once, it even resulted in the annihilation of the hunter team and the escape of important prisoners, but fortunately, our joint operation with the church minimized the loss."

Misha continued to talk, and at this time Greg asked with a slight frown.

"So... these guys steal information from us just to sell it? Is this Nest of Eight Points essentially an information dealer?"

"No, they are not just intelligence dealers. According to the information I have, they should be planning something ulterior for a long time. Being intelligence dealers is only a recent thing."

Misha responded to Greg, and then she stroked her chin and said thoughtfully.

"As far as I know from my investigation of Tivian's hidden world, the Nest of Eight Points did not sell any information to other associations before October. They have no tradition of being information dealers. For them, this is the latest I just picked up the sideline business. I guess their economy must have encountered some problems a while ago. The cash flow was not available for a while, so there was a situation of selling information. This also gave me the clues to catch them. Chance."

When Misha said this, Greg and everyone present were also a little curious after listening to Misha's words. What caused Bajian's financial problems?

"So...why is the current Nest of Eight Points burdened financially?" Greg continued to ask, and Misha nodded in response.

"That's right, I think they may have engaged in a divination battle with some other large association, because the price of the 'Revelation' storage in the entire Tivian was soaring all the way a while ago, and this extremely abnormal price fluctuation has something to do with it , but it's a pity that we can't get specific transaction information from the Craftsman Union, otherwise we should be able to get more information."

While speaking, Misha turned his attention to the Tivian branch of the White Stone Masons Guild in Dongcheng District. He knew that it was impossible to obtain information from those profiteers.

'Divination warfare...does it mean intelligence warfare in which 'enlightenment' resources are used to attack each other?Being able to use so many 'enlightenment' resources, this eight-pointed nest is indeed a big association, and who is the target of its divination battle? '

Greg thought with emotion in his heart that when he was in Igwent before, there was no "Qi" in the entire branch. In his eyes, the storage of "Qi" was a rare item that Director James kept complaining about and couldn't apply for it. , However, it is a bit unimaginable for Greg that it is this kind of thing that can be owned by an association.

"So, Ms. Misha, do you want to track them down by selling information at the Nest of Eight Points?" At this time, sitting next to Greg, the oldest John here asked, and Misha Then continue to answer.

"This is indeed a direction, but their process of selling information is very cautious and secretive. It is difficult to find out the clues. The clues I just mentioned are not in this regard. The biggest gain from the investigation of intelligence transactions is to let me Who the hell is trying to infiltrate us.

"All in all, we still have too little information about the Nest of Eight Pointers, and the clues I mentioned before are about people who may have key information about the Nest of Eight Pointers."

Misha said so, then picked up a small wooden stick like a teaching stick from the table, and pointed it to a certain place above the map. The location she pointed to was a certain place in the northern suburb of Tivian. area.

"This is the King's Campus of Tivian King's Crown University. At the end of September, there was a serious and extraordinary violation incident. Fourteen college students were found to be contaminated by drugs. The observers we sent to the university They were also killed, and the people from the Nest of Eight Points once held a ritual for unknown purpose in the ruins underground of this school."

Pointing at a certain area in the northern suburbs with a stick, Misha said so, and after hearing her words, Greg couldn't help thinking in surprise.

"Holy Crown University... If I remember correctly, Dorothy was studying at the middle school affiliated to this university, and that middle school is also nearby... That is to say, so many extraordinary violations happened around Dorothy?"Thankfully, nothing happened to Dorothy. '

Listening to Misha's words, Greg thought so happily in his heart, and at this time Misha, who was standing in front of the map, continued to speak.

"At the beginning, we couldn't confirm the purpose of the eight-pointed nest's activities here, corrupting the students and holding the ceremony. We didn't even know there was a problem there, until a few days before the incident, someone reported The General Administration sent two reports."

"Report?" Greg asked suspiciously. He seemed to trigger some memories when he heard the word, while Misha on the other side continued to speak.

"Yes, the report. The first report reported a gathering place of a cult in the King's Campus. The bureau sent two teams there and successfully wiped out a stronghold of the Nest of Eight Points. The strong man who captured the chalk simply retreated successfully.

"The key point is this second report. This report directly foretells the corruption ceremony held by the Nest of Eight Points in the underground of the school. Perhaps it is because of the operation of spies in the bureau. For some reason, this report has not attracted attention at all until It was only after the incident that we realized that someone had predicted the occurrence of this incident in advance."

After finishing speaking, Misha glanced at everyone present, and then said that Leo among them spoke directly.

"Both reports accurately predicted the actions of the Nest of Eight Points, which means... that informant has a very unusual understanding of the Nest of Eight Points! We may be able to use him as a breakthrough!"

With a serious expression, Leo said this, and then Misha nodded slightly before continuing to speak.

"That's right, the whistleblower is the key. He was able to predict Bajian's actions at the time, which was very unusual. If we could get in touch with him, we might be able to gain something."

"The whistleblower used the craftsman's union to contact us, and in the title of his letter, he called himself... Detective."

After Misha finished speaking, Greg, who was below, froze in place for a moment. At this moment, he thought of the one who enshrined Patu, the great dream dragon, on the train to Tivian. The man who came to help him was ordered by Nax, and he also claimed to be a detective.

Chapter 340 Conveying

In the secret meeting room of the Tivian Anyin Headquarters, Prince Harold's confidant knight Misha is conducting intelligence analysis to the members of the newly formed investigation team. When she was analyzing the extraordinary violation incident of the Holy Crown University, she said that the detective After this address, the members below had a different reaction.

"Detective? What is the background of this detective? He was able to figure out the movements of the Eight Pointed Nest, and then reported it to us through the White Stone Masons Guild?"

At the side of the long conference table, the young man Weihan asked with a little bit of confusion, while the woman Jifu opposite him answered.

"I guess this is a code name. This detective should also be a member of a secret association, and this association is likely to be hostile to the Eight Pointed Nest, so he relies on reporting to us, trying to drive away the wolf, relying on With our power against Bajian, it is very unlikely that a single Extraordinary will become an enemy of the entire association."

Jifu said so, and then she continued to speak after glancing at the huge city map on the wall.

"Didn't Ms. Misha say it before? The Nest of Eight Points may be hostile to other secret associations, and the two sides fought a divination war with each other, which even caused the price of Tivian's 'revelation' storage to skyrocket. ?"

Listening to Jifu's words, Misha nodded and replied with affirmative tone.

"Yes, according to the current indications, this Nest of Eight Points is indeed in a state of hostility to a certain size or even larger extraordinary association. Although the second prosecution I mentioned just now was delayed, but at that time When our people found the ceremony site of the ruins below Guanda, they found that all the ritual personnel in the Nest of Eight Points had been wiped out. This was most likely caused by the association... Because the prosecution was unsuccessful, they took action themselves. "

As soon as Misha said this, it immediately caused the people below to look around at each other. If the report is not successful, you will take action yourself. It feels like calling the police is useless, so you solve the criminals yourself. How much does this affect them as policemen? Less ironic.

"Sure enough... this detective should be the one who saved me, Mr. Detective, a follower of Akka, a subordinate of His Excellency Patronax... He told me on the train before that his organization was hostile to the Nest of Eight Pointers , which is very consistent with Ms. Misha's description. '

Listening to Misha's words, Greg thought so in his heart, and then the middle-aged man Mike, who was diagonally opposite him, continued to speak in a guessing tone.

"So... Ms. Misha, what do you mean now that we can obtain information about the Eight-pointed Nest by contacting this detective and the subsequent association?"

"Exactly, there are indications that the conflict between this unknown mysterious association and the Nest of Eight Pointers is very profound, and the confrontation between them may have been carried out many times in places that we can't see. Since this association can master Eight Pointers If you don’t know the movements of the Spike’s Nest, then your understanding of them must be extraordinary, and you may know something about the spies in our bureau, so it’s necessary to have a contact with them.”

Putting down the stick in her hand for the time being, Misha put her hands on the table and said to the crowd, and Greg frowned slightly after hearing what she said.

"Mr. Detective, they actually don't know who is Bajian's inner ghost in the headquarters, so they asked me to temporarily replace Yadlin's identity in Bajian's nest, in order to find out the clues of the inner ghost... But Since Mr. Detective and his organization have been fighting against the Nest of Eight Points for so long, they must know a lot of important information about them. There is no harm in Ms. Misha communicating with them. '

Greg thought so in his heart, while the burly Leo on the other side continued to ask Misha.

"So... how can we contact the detective's association? Are they willing to contact us?"

"They used the White Stone Craftsman's Union to contact us. Naturally, we can also contact them through the Craftsman's Union, and there is a high probability that they will not reject contact with us, as long as we express to pay them..."

When Misha said this, his words aroused Greg's doubts, and he responded with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Remuneration? What payment?"

"A missing reward... Heh... Everyone has been coming to Tivian for a while, I don't know if anyone has heard of the name of Detective Ed?" Misha asked the people in front of her, and after listening to her After saying that, some of the people who sat down looked dazed, while others looked clear. Among them was Jifu, the only woman among the team members.

"Detective Ed? Is that the detective Ed who solved the murder case at the Feiteng Theater and cleared the grievances of the dancing star Adele? I saw him in the newspaper. It is said that he was a talented young man not long after Tivian appeared. Detective, how...does he have anything to do with the code name 'Detective' we're talking about?"

Gina asked suspiciously, but Misha nodded directly in response.

"There is a lot of connection. I can almost be sure that this detective Ed... and that codenamed 'Detective' are the same person. This Edmin is a mundane detective on the surface, but in fact he is a member of a secret society. The cases he handled The surface is all ordinary things, but the essence involves extraordinary secrets.”

When Misha said this, Jifu took a breath in disbelief after listening to her words. She did not expect that this Extraordinary detective who could be published in the newspaper was the same person as the detective who was talking about here. The detective, active both in the mundane and in the dark, is curious.
