Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 55 Digesting potions and new doubts

Bob raised his head from behind the table and glanced at him: "Going for a swim? Look at the water here."

Chris touched his nose and asked: "Uncle Bob, is Horik here?"

Bob twisted the Russell Cube and said, "He just came back not long ago. He seems to have something urgent to do to see the captain."

"Huh...I see."

Chris took a deep breath, went back to the office and hid the revolver he had conjured.

Suddenly, he was struck by inspiration.

Chris raised his left eyebrow slightly to activate his spiritual vision, and saw the strange fish from yesterday on the table.

The strange fish's lantern swayed and flickered, and then a letter spit out from its mouth.

Chris picked up the letter and looked at it. On it was Samantha's delicate handwriting:
Sorry, Chris, "Eye of Wisdom" said it has been almost a year since there was no potion formula for "Peeper" Sequence 8.

The Extraordinary party he hosted is very representative in Backlund, which means that the formula you want cannot be bought in the whole of Backlund.

I'm very surprised and certainly happy that you digested the potion completely.In fact, I don't even know what sequence you are on.But that's not important. What's important is that you are my friend.

——Samantha.

It seems that Samantha doesn't know how to "act" yet, but she doesn't seem to want to be promoted...

Chris read the last sentence with some emotion, put away the letter, and planned to ask her in a subsequent reply.

He changed into the clothes he bought in Backlund, left the office, and knocked on the door of the conference room.

The ajar door was opened by Albert. He smiled and said, "Back?"

There were only two people in the conference room, Albert and Horik. Horik was wearing a windbreaker and crossed his arms.

"I heard from Horik that you encountered an extraordinary event?"

Albert chuckled and continued to ask: "Tell me about the incident. You need to write a report on such an emergency."

Chris thought for a while and explained the cause, process and result of the incident in detail. Of course, he omitted the parts that should not be mentioned, and replaced the revolver with a Russell standard pistol.

"So, you used four 'Sleep' charms, one 'Dream' charm, plus bullets, but you didn't kill it?"

Albert asked in surprise after listening to his narrative.

"And not only did it not kill the monster, it also mutated it twice."

Horik looked solemn: "Fortunately, I happened to be investigating the case in the dock area and got there in time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."

Albert nodded in affirmation: "It seems that you made the right choice to carry a six-barreled machine gun with you. But -"

He changed the topic and continued: "There is nothing wrong with Chris' behavior. The monster's secondary mutation may be a stress reaction."

Horick glanced at him, and said slowly: "Yes. So far, there is no problem."

Chris felt relieved that Horik was softening his attitude toward him.

He asked: "Captain, isn't the dock area the jurisdiction of the punishers? Why didn't they rush over as soon as possible?"

"Maybe I didn't notice it. But after Horik arrived at the scene and opened fire, the punisher arrived quickly, right?"

Albert turned to look at Horik and received an affirmative answer from the latter.

"In that case," Albert smiled, "Chris encountered an extraordinary incident and rescued two people. He should be upgraded from 'reserve' to a full member. Horik, do you agree?"

Horik touched his chin, looked at Chris, and replied calmly: "Agree."

"Okay," Albert patted him on the shoulder, "The other team members will definitely agree. Then we will go out for a meal together and welcome Chris Doty to 'officially join the team'!"

After Horik left the conference room, Chris stepped forward and asked with a worried look: "Captain, why do you feel so indifferent?"

"how?"

Albert stopped smiling. "I suspect that 'Boba' is an extraordinary person, and that the black ears are related to the true Creator. I suspect that Aurora should be involved behind this incident."

"Okay, I will notify the punishment agent and suggest them to increase their response level."

Albert was very satisfied with Chris' performance, and he asked, "By the way, did you hear any strange noises when you were fighting it?"

"Yes, but I resisted it," Chris replied truthfully.

"That's good," Albert nodded. "Horrick didn't hear it, so he must be far away. I'm relieved. You are a 'Peeper', and you are more sensitive than Horik in this regard." , even if he is Sequence 8."

sequence 8?

Chris thought that he had digested the 'Secret Peer' potion, exhaled, and said to him:
"Captain, I have finished digesting the secret-peeping potion."

"puff--"

Albert spit out the tea in his mouth, took out a silk scarf from his breast pocket, and wiped his mouth.

"Digested?"

He looked into Chris's eyes and continued seriously:

"This kind of thing should not be taken carelessly. You also know the consequences of taking a new potion without fully digesting the current potion."

He closed the lid of the cup: "But after all, you were already an Extraordinary before. This kind of thing... makes sense. I will report it to the Holy Church."

"Good captain."

Chris saluted him and left the conference room.

Catherine and Anne came down from upstairs. They had just gone to the recreation room on the third floor to relax for a while.

"Chris, don't you have a day off today?"

Annie asked confused.

Yes, I had a day off today...

Chris waved his hand, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Annie, do you know Mrs. Sharon?"

"Mrs. Sharon?"

Anne tilted her head and thought, but Catherine said calmly: "She is the widow of the old Baron Hoy, his second wife, and she often attends high-class gatherings organized by dignitaries with her stepson, the young Baron Hoy. "

She took off the lace gloves she was wearing and continued: "She is very famous in the upper class circles of Backlund, not to mention Tingen. Have you never heard of Mrs. Sharon's nickname of 'Tingen Diamond'? Besides, , she is also Honorary Director of the Hoy University Library.”

Honorary Director of the Library...

Chris nodded in his mind, it seemed that they met by chance in the library.

"She also often attends charity dinners organized by some senior officials, and often visits children in orphanages in slums."

"By the way, she recently joined a divination club. Haha, this club has added many new members after she joined, all for her."

Divination club?Isn’t Mrs. Sharon from the “Witch” path?

Chris asked: "Catherine, do you know why Mrs. Sharon went to the fortune teller club? She went to tell people's fortunes?"

"I don't know about this, but it seems that she not only joined the divination club, she also participated in many reading clubs, psychological counseling and other activities."

Catherine opened the door of the office, half-turned and said to Chris: "But don't hit her, there is no possibility."

"Of course I don't think so."

Chris answered quickly, and returned to the office under Annie's curious gaze.

He leaned against the door, thinking.

Divination clubs, book clubs and psychological counseling activities...why does she want to participate in these?
