Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 38 Monster’s Dream

Cedarville Steam Works, Accounting Department Office.

There was a knock on the door of an office labeled "General Accountant", and then the person opened the door directly.

"Mr. Gatsby, this is the information you asked for."

"Where to put it."

Derek, who was working at his desk, finished the documents at hand accurately and quickly. When he reached for the coffee cup and used the other hand to take the information just sent by his subordinate, he suddenly noticed that his subordinate was still He stood in front of his desk and didn't leave.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Derek cast a questioning look at this subordinate, and a smile naturally appeared on his face.

Seeing Derek smile, the female subordinate with glasses was slightly relieved. She also smiled at Derek and said pointedly: "Oh, I'm sorry, it's okay. I can see It’s great that you have moved on from the loss of your wife.”

"Forehead……"

Derek was stunned for a moment. His previous poor state had already affected his work, and even made these subordinates aware of something.

"I have to make one thing clear to you. I have not lost my wife. Ruiti is just in poor health. She has recovered recently. Do you understand?"

This serious explanation made the female subordinate's smile stiffen slightly, and then she apologized to Derek and then left Derek's office as if running away.

Her back in professional attire looked a little lonely.

Derek shook his head helplessly, took a sip of coffee, and returned to work, looking down at the information.

Of course he knew how "popular" he was with these female subordinates, but he had long since found his own warm harbor and had survived the storm of the past few days without losing this warmth.

Thanks to Father Yehe!
When he thought of the gentle priest who relieved his fear and sorrow, allowed him to accept his wife again and find a warm harbor, Derek's heart was filled with gratitude.

Although Ruiti has not fully recovered yet, the sweet dreams he has every night still make him feel very happy.

It's just that he has to clean the house by himself, wash clothes and cook by himself, which is a little troublesome.

But this little trouble doesn't matter. Recently, Derek feels that he is extremely energetic and in excellent health. He has been sitting for a long time and has not exercised much, but he has some strong muscles on his body. Ruiti also Very satisfied with this!
And Father Yehe also said that Ruiti will recover, and by then, everything will be back to the beauty it was at the beginning.

No, it should be better!

Derek felt his whole body full of energy.

He lowered his head and looked at the information. This was a report about the economic flow of the steam plant, recording the expenditure data of the steam plant on various "raw materials" in recent years.

Derek soon saw a somewhat unusual number.

Spending thousands or even tens of thousands of gold pounds every month to buy salt?
Although the steam plant has a staff canteen, even if there were a hundred times more employees eating in the staff canteen, the number would still be too huge.

Not to mention the steam plant, the salt consumed by all the citizens of Cedarville in a month should be similar to this figure, right?
This kind of too "basic" material data was originally handled by Derek's subordinates and would not pass through his hands.

If Father Ye He hadn't told him to pay attention to the abnormal expenditures in the steam plant, he might never have discovered this terrible salt price.

Derek had the urge to call in the subordinate responsible for the salt price and ask him clearly.

But just when he was about to take action, he immediately thought of Ye He's other instructions to him: "Oh, by the way, if there is anything abnormal, just tell me. I don't need you to help me get to the bottom of it. I can I don’t want to affect your work and family.”

Yes, there must be something wrong with this data, and the higher-ups in the factory must know it. If they pursue it directly, they may get burned.

Forget it, let's leave it to the priest to deal with it. Although I don't know why the priest...wait, this matter...can't be related to the monster the priest mentioned, right?
Then you shouldn't have to worry about it.

The price of salt, and the subordinate in charge of this item, Andrew.

Let's go back and report these to Father Ye He.

"Sandy, what's wrong with you? Isn't Derek "coming out" yet?"

Sandy, his lonely female subordinate who was sidelined by Derek, returned to her office when her colleagues noticed her loss.

"Oh, don't talk about it. Derek's wife is fine at all. She has recovered from her illness before. He has regained his energy now and looks quite healthy."

Sandy told her colleagues in the office the "bad news" that her boss's family had returned to normal, and these young women, whether unmarried or not, couldn't help crying.

"No, why do you think so highly of Derek? Is there something wrong with us?"

The disappointment of the female colleagues seriously aroused dissatisfaction among the male colleagues. One of the representatives, a man, stood up and directly questioned the female colleagues.

Sandy glared at the man and said to him angrily: "Andrew, sit down! Don't you already have a child? What does it have to do with you?"

"Hey, I'm not saying this for Robert and Lear."

The two young male colleagues who were mentioned by Andrew immediately shrank their heads, but Andrew himself was not embarrassed at all.

As Sandy said, he had already been married and had children, and as the only male married colleague in the office, he didn't care about the favor of these female colleagues at all.

However, this bit of laughter will not make his female colleagues hate him. On the contrary, as a rare lively person in the office, Andrew is like a naughty big brother and is trusted and loved by all colleagues in the office.

After everyone finished talking and laughing, they quickly returned to work. Andrew had already stood up, picked up his tea cup, and left his work station, as if he was going to pour coffee.

Just when passing by Sandy, Andrew suddenly stopped and asked Sandy seemingly casually:
"By the way, what kind of information does the supervisor want? How come it looks like a statistical table of income and expenditure of basic supplies? I haven't finished last month's table yet!"

"Hahaha! That's it! Go and make up for it for the supervisor!"

Sandy made fun of her colleague who was slacking off at work without raising her head. She didn't notice at all that when she confirmed to Andrew that what Derek wanted to see was the income and expenditure statistics of basic supplies, Andrew's eyes suddenly flashed. A little deep light.

"I'll do it now!"

Andrew seemed so frightened by Sandy that he even poured out his coffee. He returned to his workstation and pretended to be busy there for a short while before secretly taking it out of the drawer without anyone noticing. I wrote a report that I had prepared a long time ago.

Then he hurried to Derek's office while his colleagues looked at him with gloating eyes.

"Tuk Tuk."

"Huh? Andrew, what's wrong?"

Derek, who was working at his desk, raised his head and glanced at this subordinate blankly.

"Uh... um... Mr. Derek, this is last month's basic material income and expenditure statistics table. Sandy left this behind. I will help her bring it to you."

Andrew had already prepared an excuse, and the moment he entered the door, he noticed the total statistics table placed aside, and Derek, who seemed not to notice the abnormal salt price. "Oh, well, I just took a look at the water bill. During the meeting two days ago, the factory director said that he would replace the faucets with new ones in the factory to save water bills.

Hahaha, he must have gone to the bathroom of the fifth workshop during the inspection and was struck by the broken faucet... Hahaha. "

Andrew also didn't expect that Derek would tell such an interesting story. Seeing that Derek really didn't notice the price of salt and mentioned such a workplace pleasure, he also smiled along with Derek.

"Hey, by the way, don't talk nonsense about this, let alone me who spread it. Please help me put this statistics sheet back."

Derek pointed to the summary list, then smiled and continued working with his head down.

Andrew also came over obediently, picked up the master clock, then turned and walked towards Derek's office door.

The moment he turned around, Derek suppressed all his smiles. He didn't dare to look up, but looked at the documents in his eyes with some fear.

Fortunately... when Andrew approached his office, Reti's voice suddenly sounded in his heart, telling him that Andrew was coming. With such a few seconds of reaction time, he came up with this excuse.

"Clap."

Andrew left the office and closed the door for Derek. Derek breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at the door in silence for a moment.

Outside the door, Andrew grabbed the statistics table in his hand and happened to look back at Derek's office door.

The two of them seemed to be watching each other through the thin door.

Why have I never felt that this world is so dangerous before...

It seems that he didn't notice it, so just ignore him for the time being... or let the female colleagues dream for a while.

In the evening, when Derek returned home and was about to cook a hot dinner for himself, Ye He suddenly came to visit him on the spot.

So he told Ye He everything about today's discovery, the definitely problematic Andrew, and even some of Andrew's personal information that he knew.

"Very good, you did a good job, just protect your own safety, and leave the rest to me."

After discovering the progress, Ye He did not stay at Derek's house for long. Derek originally wanted to invite the priest to dinner, but now he was the only one living in the house, and the conditions really did not allow it, so he could only send him away in embarrassment. Yehe.

However, when Derek closed the door to his house, he didn't even notice that at the entrance of an alley not far away, a pair of slightly cold eyes were secretly watching him.

The closed door blocked the view, so the eyes chased Ye He's back again.

At this time, a strange man with an oriental face came to visit, but left after saying a few words...

Andrew felt that his intuition was indeed correct. Derek had noticed the problem, and he himself had a problem!

This strange man with an oriental face is proof.

The person spying on Derek's house was Andrew. Although Derek's performance was impeccable, he had a "premonition" that told him that Derek already knew.

As the [Gatekeeper] of the [Tower of Dreams], he has always trusted his instincts, and sure enough, Derek's "problem" was immediately caught by him.

"Dealing" with Derek was not a big problem for Andrew. He decided to follow the stranger first and find out his origins. This was the best thing for them.

So he started following Ye He.

So when passing through a small alley, Ye He, who had just walked around a corner, suddenly turned 180 degrees, walked out of the corner again, and faced Andrew face to face, who was less than ten meters away.

"You... who are you?"

The first person to ask questions was actually Andrew, the stalker, not Ye He, the stalked person.

He stared at Ye He closely and looked at the young oriental man in front of him.

It wasn't until he was face to face with Ye He that he had the intuition that he had been discovered by the other party.

"Huh? Haha, interesting. I am the priest of [Moonlight] Church, Ye He. You can go to the church to confirm my identity."

Ye He's confession caused some astonishment to appear on Andrew's face.

From Ye He's point of view, he was an upright, a priest recognized by the church, caring for the believers of his goddess in an upright manner, what did he need to hide?

This is the benefit of working for the "officials".

"What about you? Sir, you have been following me from the door of Derek's house until now. Do you have an intention towards the priest of the goddess, or do you have an intention towards the believers of the goddess?"

Ye He had long wanted to try this kind of "righteous speech" to use force to suppress others in his previous life. This was also the reason why he decided to join the church and become a priest.

"I... I... no... I..."

Although Andrew is a monster user of a secret monster user organization, no one in his organization has really taught Andrew. When a priest of the Zhengshen Church mentioned the Zhengshen he believed in, these monster users What to do.

Ye He looked at the other person with a smile. Look, how happy it was. This guy was so scared that he stuttered.

"Don't be complacent! Go to sleep!"

Andrew, who was furious, suddenly emitted a light red light from his eyes, which was so fast that it disappeared into Ye He's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Then Ye He's body swayed, and an uncontrollable sleepiness emerged in his body, leaving him unable to do anything but slowly sit down and lean against the wall to fall asleep.

"Humph, just a mortal."

Andrew approached Ye He, he stretched out a hand and faced Ye He from a distance.

"Let me see what "dreams" you, the priest, have!"

He activated his ability to make Ye He fall into a dream. Now he will continue to activate his ability to spy on Ye He's "dream".

The space around the two people shook like water waves.

It was still the same alley, and it was still the two people, but just a second passed, and the sound of shattering glass suddenly sounded in the space where the water was rippling just now.

"Ah!!!! You! You monster!!"

Then a man's scream sounded in this alley.
