Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 201 The Village Girl Who Asked for Leave

After hearing this, Eric's face was a little ugly, and he complained to Connor: "These black dogs are really endless, and they will bully foreigners like me. I don't know what's going on this time!"

While talking, he got up and was about to go to the lobby on the first floor. At this moment, Connor also got up and said, "Don't worry, they don't dare to be too arrogant with me here."

After speaking, he came to the foyer with Eric.

I saw three Secret Service agents in black uniforms waiting in the foyer, and saw Eric and Connor coming down from the second floor, and his face changed slightly. Obviously, he didn't expect Connor to be here.

However, the leading agent still asked politely: "Mr. Eric, hello, I am Masi, the second-level agent of the Secret Service. May I ask you after noon today?"

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Connor who looked unhappy.

"Me and I have been guests at Eric's house, during which I only went out for less than 10 minutes and met Professor Polly from the Alchemy Academy!

Eric has been at home from noon until now!
I've also heard about Mr. Reis's matter, and I'm deeply saddened by it, but you don't think it has anything to do with Eric, do you? "

Eric's heart moved after hearing this, Connor seemed to be helping him cover, but in fact he wanted to use him as an alibi, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Masi quietly.

Ma Si's face froze for a moment, so he had to hide it with a smile: "Why, we are just asking routinely."

"Then do you want to ask me about my itinerary?"

After speaking, Connor's face softened again.

"I know you are just following orders from your superiors, but do you know how disrespectful it is for a gentleman to be frequently visited by agents of the Secret Service within a month? His reputation will be severely punished for this." Impact!
Tell me, whose orders are you following? "

After hearing this, Ma Si could only laugh along with him.

"Both, I'm very sorry, and please understand. We are only following Lord Charlotte's order as a routine. Not only Mr. Eric, but all extraordinary people who have come to the capital of steam within four months will be routinely questioned. .”

Eric only felt chills all over his body on a hot day. Can the capital of steam be better? The persecution of foreigners like them is everywhere!
Seeing that Connor was testifying for Eric, the three of Mars didn't want to stay here any longer, so they said a few words politely and left.

At this time, Eric's face sank, and he said to Connor: "Thank you, if you didn't cover things for me, it would have become very troublesome, because the confession between me and Danetta is not enough evidence of alibi. "

And Connor shook his head and said: "Actually, those black dogs will not pay special attention to you. The key is that Charlotte is very annoying."

"Many people in the capital of steam hate this guy very much, and there are many nobles among them. As long as there are doubts that cannot be proved in any case, he will get to the bottom of it."

"You also know that businessmen like me and those aristocratic gentlemen rarely can guarantee that they are absolutely clean. After all, who doesn't have their own secrets?"

"In the process of Charlotte's investigation, many shady things will be directly exposed under his investigation."

"If it wasn't for his brother being the head of the Security Bureau, he would have died a long time ago and couldn't die anymore."

"I guess it's also because your resume in the New World is difficult to prove the authenticity that he followed you."

And Eric could only sigh helplessly.

"I hope he can find out that I am innocent sooner."

Connor chatted with Eric for a few more words before leaving.

After seeing off Connor, Eric returned to the hall, and saw the village girl looking at him with a hesitant expression on his face.

"It's okay to say something directly."

Only then did Danetta say expectantly, "Master, I would like to ask for a week's leave."

"What's the matter with you?"

"I haven't been home for more than two years, and now I want to go home and have a look so that my parents don't worry about me."

Eric nodded knowingly, the village girl is homesick.

Danetta's home is a small village more than 90 kilometers away from the city of steam, and the nearest town with a steam station is more than 30 kilometers away from her home.

After arriving in the town by steam locomotive, the rest of the journey is on foot or by horse-drawn carriage.

Considering that the traffic environment along the way is not very good and you have to travel through mountains and rivers, the speed difference between the No. 11 car and the horse-drawn carriage is not very big.

It will take more than a day to reach Neta's home from the capital of steam.

In the past, Danetta didn't do well and couldn't even afford the travel expenses to go home, but now not only is he well-fed and well-paid, but he has also become a transcendent with a bright future.

Do not return home rich and honor is like walking at night in brocade clothes, Danetta has long wanted to share her joy with her relatives.

So Eric directly approved her leave: "No problem, just make sure you come back in a week, and contact me through the ceremony if you have anything."

"Great, thank you master, I'll pack my bags and get ready to go."

After the request was approved, the village girl jumped up excitedly, humming country folk songs all the way to the bedroom on the second floor.

Half an hour later, the village girl went out with two big suitcases. During this time, she had already bought many gifts for her relatives and friends and packed two big suitcases.

Eric was the only one left in the apartment at No. 9 Molly Street.

Being managed by the [Throne Difference Machine], he has been sitting quietly in the foyer until almost seven o'clock. He is going to go to the theater to watch a stage play, and he will not go home until nine or ten o'clock.

Time passed slowly, and before you knew it, the pointer was approaching nine o'clock.

At this time, Hannibal had just returned to his home - the Lecter Clinic.

The Lecter Clinic looked spotless and clean. The air in the clinic was different from the turbid smog mixed with the outside world, and it was unusually fresh.

And not only the external traces, but also the spirituality.

Usually there will be some bloody, death-like spirituality in the clinic, but Hannibal's clinic is very clean.

This self-disciplined doctor is also a bit of a clean freak, and can't bear some turbid spirituality left in the clinic.

The first thing Hannibal did when he returned home was to the dining room on the first floor, and he opened the cabinet drawer on the wall, and a hidden turntable in the deepest part of the drawer was gently turned.

Kaka—— Kaka——

Accompanied by a burst of machine noise, an underground passage appeared in front of him immediately, and a stream of white air-conditioning was sprayed out.

At the beginning, it is very narrow, but it is only a person, and after ten steps, it suddenly becomes clear.

A basement of more than 200 square meters appeared in front of Hannibal. Compared with the decoration of the ground space, the basement was extremely simple.

Not only was a [variable temperature barrier] arranged here, but also various extraordinary creature corpses were placed here, all of which were Hannibal's ingredients.

There are scary ones and some unremarkable ones, but they are arranged in an orderly manner, without giving people the slightest feeling of blood, on the contrary, they are as pleasing to the eye as works of art.

After Hannibal came to his food storage room, he took out a small hard leather bag.

He took out corpses of fresh evil and evolved creatures one after another and placed them on the ground, and then carefully handled them with his magic knife.

The edible parts of the corpse were cut off and neatly placed in the storage room, while the other inedible parts were put back into the space bag.

When the [moth sloughing] ceremony was completed, Hannibal retreated and went back to the sewer alone to hunt until seven o'clock.

With the professional-level Urus basilisks and the flood of evolved creatures in the sewers, his harvest is quite rich.

Not only did he have enough food reserves for himself, but even the Shelter Club had stored three months' share in one go.

After Hannibal finished disposing of the last corpse, he took out his pocket watch and checked the time. The hands were more than ten minutes away from nine o'clock.

Realizing that the time was approaching, Hannibal cleaned up the storage room and returned to the above-ground space of the clinic.

Taking out the badge of the banyan tree, Hannibal began to meditate, and silently recited the password Karin told him.

In an instant, a dim light burst out from the bottom of his eyes, and when the screen turned, Hannibal found himself sitting at a long table, and a huge banyan tree not far from the long table formed a dome.
