The day after obtaining the police officers’ information, three police officers came to the door.

They showed Mr. Bradley a search warrant, and Mr. Bradley naturally could not refuse and had no choice but to let them enter the villa.

As agreed in advance, Mr. Bradley sent away two of the police officers on the pretext of introducing the secret passages and secret rooms of the villa, while the remaining police officer, Robert, stayed behind on the first floor.

So, Xue and I worked together to subdue Robert and knock him out. Then Xue put on Robert's clothes and turned into his appearance.

I looked at the police officer ID card for a while, then handed it to Xue along with Robert's other personal belongings, and then carried Robert on my back and walked towards the basement.

......

Robert's skills are pretty good. If we hadn't known him in advance, we would probably have been defeated, especially his [Bell Dating], which was actually able to cooperate with [Sound Wave Curse] to block Gale and I's surprise attack...could it be that

Is there some induction magic on his clothes... I wish I had emphasized this to Xue just now.

Forget it, Xue knows better than me in this regard, she can handle it herself.

By the way, this is the first time I have seen Xue perform such complicated magic, and I have to admit that I did underestimate her before.

"Hey..."

I tied Robert to a chair and stuffed a piece of the rag I used to clean the table last night into his mouth.

"Well..."

I picked up the paper bag in the trash can.

The smell of expired cookies.

"Well, it can just cover that guy's head."

I glanced at Robert.

......

After about half an hour, Robert woke up.

He began to struggle violently, and the paper bag kept shaking with his head.

"Hey, you're wasting your efforts, Schirkoa's friend."

I said with a gloating tone:

"By the way, don't have any evil intentions...I gave you a lot of 'medicine' while you were unconscious. Any of your magic might kill you.

, so please don’t try to escape...for the sake of your family.”

"..."

Robert seemed stunned for a moment when he heard the word "family", and then became quieter.

Robert is a police officer who was transferred to the police station from the West Fifth District not long ago. He has little experience and attaches great importance to his family.

In other words, his family is his weakness.

"I don't want to kill you, and I won't ask you to do anything for me. You just need to stay here for a few days, understand?"

"..."

The other party did not respond.

"...Then I'll take it as your acquiescence."

"..."

"Besides, I don't bother negotiating with you. I'm just telling you how to maximize our interests."

After saying this, I took off the paper bag on Robert's head.

His eyes were closed tightly due to the sudden penetration of light. I took the opportunity to hold down his head and pour a small bottle of [Ecstasy] into his nostrils.

——His body twitched a few times, and then fell into a deep sleep.

I patted Robert's stiff face and let out a long sigh of relief.

My mission is over.

I hope Xue can bring good news.

After leaving the villa with the other police officers on Robert's behalf, Snow will "help" Robert complete the next work.

Manda explained: The police officers form a team of three, with two responsible for searching and one responsible for patrolling. They have a clear division of labor and can take care of each other.

Robert is a newcomer to the police department, and his seniors probably don’t know him very well, so most no one will think there is any difference between “Miss Robert” and the real Robert.

Therefore, Snow can easily escape at the right time.

If all goes well, then the police officers will not be able to confirm where Robert disappeared, and we will have Robert as a hostage.

Hostages are one of the assets we use to negotiate with the police department.

......

After the two police officers were sent away, I left the unconscious Robert in the custody of Mr. Bradley and hid in the basement again.

At sunset, the snow comes back.

She said that no one noticed anything strange until the search was over.

Beautiful.

......

After a short rest, I started to make the magic potion I will use in the future with the help of Xue.

Pharmacy in this world is so advanced that many related disciplines are "attached" to it and regard it as the basis for their own development.

The core of pharmacy is many powerful magic potions.

Potions, which are potions mixed with different magic powers, are extremely versatile. As long as they are used properly, the effects produced are almost the same as those of direct magic... except that the potions need to be prepared in advance.

For me, who has zero magic attributes, magic potions can make up for my shortcomings to a certain extent.

Therefore, the magic potion is my "magic".

I haven't studied potions for a long time, and I am just a layman. However, there is no doubt that potions are worthy of my attention.

Of course, I can't make most of the potions by myself. After all, one of the main raw materials of potions is all kinds of magic.

"Okay, then use the [Covering Dry Technique] to wrap the soil salt."

"Hmm."

Xue did as she was told.

"Are you free later?"

"I'm pretty free right now. Is this a formal thing?"

"No, it's just a topic that I haven't finished talking about before. In other words, we can talk about it now."

"Please~~"

"My betrothed has become more active recently. It is trying to seize my body. In other words, the death date you once asked me about is probably coming soon."

"That's it..."

I poured the processed soil salt into several small test tubes.

"What should we do?"

"..."

Hmm, you asked in such an awkward manner.

Obviously I swore that I would be able to save her.

"Just a reminder. In other words, I don't know what will happen if the host dies after the host dies. Just in case, you need to be prepared."

"Thank you for saying that it's none of your business..."

I don't know why, I feel a little irritable...maybe it's guilt.

After hesitating for a long time, I added:

"What should I do?"

"I want to ask you two things... First, if something happens that you didn't expect, whether it's because of me or not, please escape from the west city gate."

"...Hey, you want me to run away?"

"Yes, and the defense of the West Gate is the most——"

"No, wait, what accident are you referring to?"

"...riot."

I stood up and stared at the snow with disbelief:

"Suddenly saying this...what did you do without telling me?"

"It has nothing to do with you. In other words, I don't want you to be involved."

Xue's words are a disguised admission of my guess.
To be continued...
