"Congratulations, young gentleman. You are now the youngest investigator of the Sixth Alien Bureau. Oh, your sister Hannah came to see you before. We told her that because your cooking is so delicious, she was seconded. I went to Princess Frieda’s mansion to cook, so I couldn’t get home in time, so remember not to let it slip.”

Mrs. Freya reminded.

Locke nodded slightly and put his ID back in his pocket, which meant that starting from the second half of the month, he would be able to get a higher salary.

"Old Lani came to me to complain. I hope you can put more thought into the kitchen. You can't slack off, busy young man."

Mrs. Freya winked at Locke.

Locke nodded, "Okay, I will try my best to take care of both."

"Well, go home. Your poor sister's eyes are swollen from crying. She is very worried about you."

Mrs. Freya returned to processing the reimbursement form.

"Oh, I was missing for 24 hours, was anyone looking for me?"

Sigurd asked.

"No."

Mrs. Freya said firmly.

Sigurd shrugged and sighed, "It's so sad."

The two said goodbye to Mrs. Freya and set off on their way home. Sigurd's destination was the Rose Theater, and he wanted to relax.

Locke's destination is Old Tom's Apartment.

As he sat in the carriage, an elegant black cat jumped on his shoulder.

"Xiao Ai, I'm so happy to see you again. I almost thought I would be trapped forever."

Locke sighed.

"Isn't it a big gain this time?"

Irene asked lightly. She didn't tell Locke that she had been wandering in front of the coffee shop for a day, planning to rescue him, because it hadn't happened yet, which meant she had done nothing.

"fine."

Locke waved the cigarette rod in his hand, "A weak demon lives here."

The coachman looked back at Locke and shook his head. He was a rich man from the Fan Club and always said some weird things. He really wanted to take him to the nearby Moldo Mental Sanatorium.

But why would this rich psycho want to go to a place like the West End? Shouldn't he live in the East End?

The carriage driver was thinking wildly when a car passed his carriage. Through the window, Locke saw the woman inside.

She has long pale golden hair, deep red eyes, fair skin and handsome facial features.

Locke heard his heart beating rapidly.

She is, Krista!

That woman who died 10 years ago!

The woman who appears at Garken's Coffee Shop.

How did she come back to life?

When Krista cast her gaze, Locke leaned back and hid.

Beads of sweat appeared on Locke's forehead, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

The director must be told this matter immediately.

The two cars were heading in different directions. Only when he was sure that the car on the opposite side was far away did Locke stick his head out and look at the back of the carriage.

"Turn around and go back to Wells."

"What's wrong?"

Eileen noticed Locke's abnormal mood and asked.

Locke said hesitantly, "That woman, I met in Galken Coffee Shop, her name is Krista. She was originally Galken, but her wish was twisted by the weird thing B03 and turned into Krista, but I remember Garken was killed by the director. I’m not sure if this woman is Garken, but she is definitely related to the weird thing B03.”

Erin roughly understood what Locke meant, and she licked the cat's paw.

"She is very dangerous, don't come near her."

"Could it be...that she?"

Locke stopped talking about Krista and planned to tell Rhaenys about it immediately.

Regarding the strange object B03 and the deceitful witch, Rhaenys must know better than herself.

Moreover, when Locke's carriage passed by the opponent's carriage, the system did not give a prompt. It is possible that he was overthinking and it was not one of the 12 ancient witches who had revived at all.

In addition, the "Witch Apocalypse" left behind by the 12 ancient witches is still in Irene's hands.

You shouldn't be here to find Irene, right?

Erin now believes in a certain evil god, her body has been completely transformed, and her smell is definitely different from before, so it will most likely not attract her attention.

While Locke was thinking, the carriage had returned to the Sixth Oddity Investigation Bureau, and Locke told Rhaenys about seeing Krista again.

Rhaenys nodded slightly, "I understand, you go back first, I will handle the rest."

"Is this dangerous?"

Locke asked.

"It's not certain yet. I'll have someone investigate. By the way, if you're going to move soon, I'll give you a day off."

Rhaenys said suddenly generously.

Locke nodded, "Thank you, Director."

He really needs to move tomorrow, and now he doesn't even have to ask for leave. It's probably because his recent performance has been appreciated by his boss.

After saying goodbye to the director, Locke left the Sixth Oddity Investigation Bureau.

At 6 p.m., Locke showed up at Old Tom's apartment.

When Hannah saw Locke, she couldn't hide her anxious eyes. She took her brother and checked it carefully. After finding that Locke had no missing arms or legs, she asked,

"Your Highness, Princess, didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"Of course not. She was full of praises for my cooking."

Locke said with a smile.

Hannah breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. I really didn't expect that the chef of the Sixth Security Court would be attracted by the princess of the royal family. How about Princess Frieda? Is she as arrogant as the rumors say?"

"Fortunately, as long as you can satisfy her appetite, she is basically friendly."

Locke's eyes moved from Hannah to the dining table.

Hannah made a dark meal and waited for him to taste it.

Locke bit the bullet and ate some, and praised Hannah's craftsmanship.

"Well done, don't do it again next time."

"Locke!"

Hannah put her hands on her hips and pouted, with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Damn it! I did this specially for you. Your colleagues said you would be back today if nothing happens."

"It's true that nothing happened to me, but if you eat dinner like this every day, you may not be able to see the sun the next day soon. Your hands are still suitable for writing articles, not for cooking. Please leave the kitchen to me. After all, even Her Royal Highness praised my cooking skills."

Locke stood up, took all the dishes to the kitchen, and started washing the dishes.

Erin stood on his shoulder, waiting for him to make a delicious meal for herself.

After Locke washed the dishes, he made a new dinner for Hannah and Irene, which was simple egg fried rice.

It may seem like a simple egg fried rice, but it is quite a test of the chef's skills to make the rice grains all crystal clear and golden-yellow wrapped in egg liquid, and finally to make the egg and rice completely indistinguishable.

After eating the fried rice, both of them were still unsatisfied.

Locke once again gained Erin's repeated skill [Sense of Smell], with a proficiency of +100.

When both women were full, Locke took out the rental contract.

"We can move tomorrow, ladies."

"tomorrow?"

Hannah looked at the contract in surprise, carefully checking the terms and address.

"Two silver meters a month is too expensive!"

"2 silver meters a month, so cheap."

Hannah and Eileen gave different evaluations of the rental contract.

“The first half year was actually free of rent because I happened to save the landlord and he was willing to let us live for free for half a year.”

Rock said with a smile, "And because I performed well at my job, I became a regular today."

Hannah looked at Locke in disbelief;

"You are a cook, how did you save the landlord? Why did you become a full-time employee early?"

It wasn't because she didn't believe in her brother's ability, it was simply because the good news came so densely that she had doubts.

Where is the pie in the world?

She didn't want her brother to be deceived.

"Okay, here's the thing. Yesterday I was urgently dispatched to Princess Frieda to prepare food for her, and the landlord happened to be there. He seemed to have done something that dissatisfied the princess, and he was almost killed by her. He was executed. Fortunately, the cooking I made relieved the princess's mood, and the princess let him go. So he thought I saved him and insisted on letting him rent for half a year. "

Locke talked in detail, "Besides, my current weekly salary is 2 silver meters, which can fully cover the monthly rent."

"Really?"

Hannah looked at Locke suspiciously.

Locke nodded heavily, "That's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Princess Frieda."

Locke knew that it was impossible for Hannah to ask Princess Frieda. Even if civilians wanted to see Her Royal Highness, they would not be able to do so unless the princess sneaked out on her own.

"Well, then we can't take advantage of the landlord, Mr. Euris Haines."

Hannah said seriously.

Although the rent is very expensive for Hannah, their family is not short of money now.

"Yeah, yeah, listen to Hannah on everything, rest early today, we will move tomorrow."

"But I haven't seen the house yet."

"You will be satisfied, believe me, beautiful Hannah, I am really tired, good night."

Locke pushed Hannah into the bedroom room and closed her door.

Hannah could only lie in bed tossing and turning, worrying about the moving the next day.

She had many questions to think about. First, what would her new home look like? Would it have a warm fireplace? Secondly, is the new house worth the monthly rent of 2 silver meters? Finally, the grain reserves at home are very heavy. Moving requires a medium-sized carriage, which costs a lot of money, and the drinking water equipment also needs to be moved. There is still half a month's rent left for Old Tom's apartment, and I don't know if I can get it back.

"Really, Locke decided on his own behind my back."

Hannah complained, put the quilt over her head, and fell asleep.

Locke, who was lying on the sofa in the living room, couldn't sleep either. He began to review the whole thing.

The Garken Cafe transformed into a monster numbered B03 relies on constantly devouring outsiders to maintain Garken's imaginary world. In that world, Garken's wishes were twisted and turned into Krista.

I was attracted by the aroma of coffee and almost couldn't come back.

Although I can't blame myself entirely, because Sigurd, an old investigator, also fell over, and his fall was even worse than his own.

Even Xiao Ai was almost involved.

But I made a mistake by not thinking of Xiao Ai's experience immediately.

In addition, he met the demon Rebecca in the inner world, and almost fell into Rebecca's trap and was eaten by her. This was even more inappropriate.

So always remember that caution and caution are the first priority to ensure life safety.

There is no problem if the coffee is too fragrant, but if it is so fragrant that anyone, even a non-coffee drinker, wants to take a sip, there is a problem.

After entering the coffee shop, Sieg's consciousness was completely controlled, but I was able to stay awake. Does this mean that if a world created by the same strange creature appears, I can stay awake in it?

This point remains to be verified, but there is a high probability that this is the case. Perhaps Irene's worry about being affected by the Heart of Dreams is in vain. In a dream, I am likely to stay awake.
