Half a month later, Collington Manor.
The Collington family started with animal husbandry, and the owner of the manor at this time was Lux Collington, a guy who was crazy about aristocratic etiquette.
He likes gorgeous clothing, exquisite food, and holding grand banquets in the manor. He sets strict standards on himself and the servants around him. It seems that he hopes to use this method to wash away the face of the nouveau riche. Squeeze into the upper class of the Federation.
But just half a year ago, Lux was in trouble.
An evil spirit that existed in the dream came to him. According to him, in the nightmare, the evil spirit has been chasing him, making him unable to sleep peacefully.
Of course, that's all.
No matter what doctor he saw, he couldn't get rid of it.
This situation continued until three months ago, when murders occurred in the manor. The victims were not humans, but animals!
From the gardener's cat, to the watchdog's hound, and finally Lux's beloved horse.
As the situation became more and more serious, the rich man offered a reward.
Unfortunately, the nightmare situation has not been resolved so far.
The evil spirit in the dream is very cunning, even if a strange person can scare it away, when the other party leaves, it will definitely come back.
This was the case a few times before.
Even the local bishop of the Church of the Goddess of Light has no good way to deal with it.
After all, he has more important things to do, it's impossible to be Lux's bodyguard here, and that evil spirit seems to be restrained so far, it hasn't even killed a single person, and it won't spread, it's harmful Not too big.
Slowly recalling the information collected, before Sulu came to Collington Manor.
"Hello, may I ask?"
A valet came out to meet him and asked politely.
"Sean, a private investigator, has an appointment before!"
Sulu announced his new identity.
He doesn't have the guts of Rhodes to pretend to be a federal law enforcement officer.
However, the identity of a private detective is enough.
[Mystic Scholar]In addition to the ability of mind intrusion, his disguise is perfect. In the file, there is indeed such a person.
"It's Mr. Otto, please!"
The servant had obviously heard the name before, and invited Sulu to enter the manor and come to a living room.
After a while, a silver-haired butler came over and politely invited Sulu to sit down and enjoy the afternoon tea with the characteristics of Congni State.
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.
Sulu sighed secretly, and the butler's voice came from his ear:
"The master is meeting a guest, please wait a moment."
"no problem."
Sulu ate snacks, looked at the exquisite layout and antiques around him, and watched his own attribute changes by the way:
"Well, the spirit has been raised to 5.1, but the constitution has been reduced to 1.8. The effect of the vicious potion is still very powerful, and there is no resistance to superimposed drugs, but... this is a bait!"
Although there is no weakening of the effect caused by drug resistance, Sulu is very clear that once repeated heavy use in a short period of time, the mental pollution will increase to an irreparable level, and the ending must be very miserable!
Perhaps, this is a taboo area that even many [witch doctors] don't understand!
Fortunately, he kept in mind the reminder in the attribute column. During this period of time, he carefully used the vicious potion to impact his mental power and break through the 5.0 barrier.
And, try to separate the taking time to minimize the pollution.
Up to now, the conditions for promotion to the third level [Thaumaturgy] have been completely met, but it's a pity...
"Lack of experience... To be promoted to the third rank [Thaumaturgy], 1000 experience points are required, but... even if I can be promoted, I have to suppress it, but I must maintain the ability to be promoted at any time. At critical moments, I may be able to cheat Bi." Triss a hand...'
As for the resulting decline in physical fitness, Sulu felt it was worth it.
'After taking it three times, the concentration of mental pollution has reached a critical level, and it will not be possible to increase it with vicious potions for a long time...unless I want to become a lunatic! '
It was precisely because of this state that Sulu, who had prepared all the means, began to look for the trace of the 'face taker'.
"The 'Face Taker' is at the second level. With my ability, I'm not afraid at all... This is a good opportunity to obtain materials and experience."
Of course, Sulu wouldn't follow others' opinions. He was vigilant and inquired about some information early on.
At least, the evil spirits in this manor don't seem to be so bloodthirsty.
After raging for half a year, no one was killed, and the danger was indeed very low.
Even if it's not a face-taker, it's worth coming for the experience points.
"Enough! I said... that's not my hallucination, I need protection! More protection!"
Just then, 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 the long-term torture has made his hair gray, his eyes are sunken, and he has thick bags under his eyes. It is obvious that he has not rested for a long time.
"Those federal officials... I pay so much tax every year, what's the result? When I'm in danger, who will protect me? And the Church of the Goddess of Light... I donated so much, but I only sent a bishop to take care of it for half a month..."
Lux complained, looking at the butler.
"Master, this is the private detective you booked!"
The butler immediately stepped forward and introduced Sulu to Lux.
"You are Sean?"
Lux's critical eyes turned on Sulu: "You know what I'm asking for!"
Behind him, there are several bodyguards and private investigators, obviously employing more than one person.
"I know... strong enough!"
Sulu smiled and added syllables to the following words.
"Yes, protecting me is the first priority. It is best to find that evil spirit and deal with it!"
Lux calmed down, lit the cigar, took a deep puff, his spirit recovered slightly, full of the temperament of a successful businessman: "Sorry... I was a little mentally weak before."
"It doesn't matter!"
Sulu politely said no problem.
"So... back to our question, how do you prove your strength?"
Lux asked in a deep voice.
"If you must..."
As soon as Sulu's voice fell, the whole person flashed, and he came to Lux in front of him. With his right hand crossed, he threw out a bodyguard, grabbed the gun with his left hand, and took the gun from the other female detective's hand, and returned to the original place Sit down.
All this happened too quickly, and by the time the other bodyguards reacted, Sulu was already playing with guns.
"stop!"
Lux stopped the movement of others, his eyes lit up: "That's right...you have been admitted, signed a contract with my housekeeper, and the salary is the same as promised before."
