Chapter 0143 Colington (2600 Moon Filling)
Half a month later, Corrington Manor.
The Corrington family started out in animal husbandry. At this time, the owner of the manor was Lux Corrington, a guy who was crazy about aristocratic etiquette.
He likes gorgeous clothes, exquisite food, and grand banquets in the manors, demanding himself and his servants with strict standards, as if he hopes to use this method to wash away the nouveau riche's face and squeeze into the upper class of the federal society in one fell swoop.
But just half a year ago, Lux was in trouble.
An evil spirit who exists in a dream came to him. According to him, in the nightmare, there are evil spirits chasing him, making him unable to sleep.
Of course, that's all.
No matter what doctor I saw, he could not be relieved.
This situation lasted until three months ago, and there were bloody incidents in the manor, and the victims were not humans, but animals!
From the cat raised by the gardener to the hunting dog, and finally Lux's love horse.
As the situation became more and more serious, the rich man offered a reward.
Unfortunately, the nightmare situation has not been resolved yet.
The evil spirit in the dream is very cunning. Even if there are strange people who can scare it away, they will definitely make a comeback when the other party leaves.
This was the case a few times before.
Even the local bishops of the Goddess of Light Church have no good idea about this.
After all, he has more important things to do, and it is impossible to be Lux's bodyguard here, and the evil spirit seems to be quite restrained so far, and has not even killed a single person and will not spread. The harm is not too great.
Slowly recalling the information collected, Sulu came to Corlington Manor.
"Hello, who is that?"
A male servant came out to greet him and asked politely.
"Shawn, a private detective, had an appointment before!"
Sulu reported his new identity.
He didn't have the courage to pretend to be a federal law enforcement officer.
However, the identity of a private detective is enough.
[Mysterious Scholar] With the ability of spiritual invasion, his disguise is seamless. There is indeed such a person in the archives.
"So it's Mr. Otto, please!"
The male servant had obviously heard of this name and asked Sulu to enter the manor and come to a living room.
After a while, a butler with silver hair and a little depressed spirit came over and politely invited Sulu to sit down and tasted the afternoon tea with Congney's characteristics.
It can be seen that their movements have been specially trained, and the black tea and desserts are also very exquisite.
This Lux really knows how to enjoy it.
Sulu sighed secretly, and the butler's voice came from his ears:
"The host is meeting a guest, please wait."
"no problem."
Sulu was eating snacks, looking at the exquisite arrangements and antiques around him, and watching his own attribute changes:
"Well, the spirit has been improved to 5.1, but the physique has been reduced to 1.8. The effect of the vicious potion is still very strong. It does not have the resistance to taking medicine, but... this is a bait!"
Although the effect is weakened due to the lack of resistance, Sulu is very clear that once repeated and large-scale use is repeated for a short period of time, it will cause mental pollution to surge to an irreversible level, and the ending will definitely be very miserable!
Perhaps, this is a taboo area that even many [witch doctors] don’t understand!
Fortunately, he kept in mind the reminder of the attribute bar. During this period, he carefully used vicious potions to impact the mental power and broke the mental breakthrough of 5.0.
Moreover, try to separate the time of use to minimize pollution.
Now, the conditions for promotion to the third level of [Magic Artist] have been completely met, but it’s a pity...
‘Insufficient experience… To be promoted to the third level [Magic Artist] requires 1,000 experience points, but…even if I can be promoted, I still have to suppress it, but I must maintain the ability to be promoted at any time. At critical moments, I might be able to trick Bi Cuisi…’
As for the resulting physical decline, Sulu thinks it is quite worth it.
‘After taking it three times, the concentration of mental pollution has reached a critical level, and it is impossible to increase it with vicious agents for a long time…unless I want to become a madman!’
It is precisely because of this state that Sulu, who has prepared all the methods, began to look for traces of the "face-grabber".
"'Face-Snatcher' is a second-level level. With my ability, I'm not afraid at all... This is a good opportunity to gain materials and experience."
Of course, Sulu would not follow the crowd. He was alert and inquired about some information early on.
At least, the evil spirits in this manor do not seem to be such a bloodthirsty type.
After half a year of raging, no one was killed, and the danger was indeed very low.
Even if you are not a face grabber, it is worth it for experience.
"Enough! I said...that's not my hallucination, I need protection! More protection!"
At this moment, a group of people appeared from the second floor.
Sulu looked over and saw that the leader was a very tired and irritable white old man.
He is not too old, but his long-term torture has made his hair white, his eyes deep, and his thick eye bags. He can tell at a glance that he hasn't had a rest for a long time.
"Those federal officials... I pay so much tax every year, what's the result? When it comes to danger, who will protect me? And the Church of Goddess of Light... I donated so much, but I only sent a bishop to take care of it for half a month..."
Lux complained and looked at the butler.
"Master, this is the private detective you made an appointment!"
The housekeeper immediately stepped forward and introduced Sulu to Lux.
"You're Sean?"
Lux's critical eyes turned around Sulu: "You know what I asked for!"
Behind him were several bodyguards and private detectives, obviously hiring more than one person.
"I know...strong enough!"
Sulu smiled and accented syllables on the words behind.
"Yes, protecting me is the first priority. It is best to find that evil spirit and solve it!"
Lux calmed down, lit the cigar, swallowed a deep breath, and recovered slightly, filling the temperament of a successful businessman: "Sorry... I was a little mentally weak before."
"It doesn't matter!"
Sulu politely said that there was no problem.
"So... back to our question, how do you prove your strength?"
Lux asked in a deep voice.
"If you have to do this..."
As soon as Sulu finished speaking, he flashed and came to Lux, with his right hand cross, threw a bodyguard out, grabbed the gun from another female detective with his left hand, and returned to sit there.
All this happened too quickly. By the time the other bodyguards reacted, Sulu was already playing with the guns.
"stop!"
Chapter completed!
