Chapter 427 Association
"Is it finally here?"
Fang Xian was not surprised at all.
This group of new investigators are indeed the best new blood in each branch.
It is quite normal for the headquarters to have the intention to recruit.
Being transferred from a branch to the headquarters is considered a promotion and will allow for better development. Probably all investigators would not refuse.
Eric still felt a little guilty about this, and felt that he had let the branch down, but he already had some conscience .
"Actually, there's no need to apologize. We are secret keepers. Our duty is to protect secrets and the world... At the headquarters, your abilities will be better utilized and will be more beneficial to the world! I believe... even the director of your branch will not care about these things."
Fang Xian comforted him.
"I always feel that... what you said is exactly the same as what my instructor said." Eric complained.
"..." Fang Xian was speechless for a moment: "You forgot that you are a psychologist. You can heal yourself. You just need some comfort now. Your heart has already made a choice!"
"Yes, I have already made my choice, but I still have to rely on others to 'persuade' me and find excuses for me... Oh, what despicable souls live in our bodies..." Eric smiled bitterly.
"Do you feel better now that you've admitted your own meanness?"
"Much better."
"Then let's talk about this. Do you want to change your job to become a 'blood healer'?" Fang Xian handed over a cup of hot cocoa.
"Yes."
Eric held the rim of the cup with both hands: "The instructor said that I have this talent. My wrists are very dexterous. I almost became a bartender... Sorry, I can't reveal more than the rest."
"I understand. The headquarters doesn't want secrets to be leaked. This is true for secret medicines and blood treatments..." Fang Xian shrugged.
In fact, Eric has already leaked some information.
What do bartenders do? Mix, stir, swirl...
"The so-called blood therapy is to prepare some special blood. If there is a centrifuge, maybe it will be more efficient?"
Fang Xian touched his chin: "Besides that... maybe the higher the status of the dependent, the better the effect of the blood... I wonder if the Secret Keeper Headquarters has ever collected the blood of the great being sleeping under the deep sea... Even if it has been diluted, it must be the highest grade special product, probably only the legendary investigators can enjoy it..."
"Of course, it's useless to guess the general method. We also need precious raw materials and formulas..."
'Wait... why do I think of some of Hopkins' research... maybe he was once an investigator, or even a legend among investigators? Or a taboo?'
Fang Xian felt that, although he did not do it on purpose, he seemed to have discovered most of the secrets kept by the Secret Keeper Headquarters.
I have to say, this is ironic.
…
Orsay City.
Secret Keeper Division.
Love has been a bit idle lately.
Perhaps due to the successive solving of major cases, the outbreak rate of supernatural cases in the city has dropped sharply.
Even if there are occasional outbreaks, they are just some stupid scholar who ignorantly deciphers an Elder Scroll containing hidden powers.
As long as the crime is not premeditated, organized, or committed by a gang, it is easy for Love to solve.
Not to mention, after the branch attack, the investigators here went crazy, searching the streets for suspicious people, and several well-hidden "Extraordinaries" were exposed for various reasons.
In addition, investigators from all over the country also came to provide support, making the public security in Osay City unprecedentedly good.
"Ah... I feel like I've become much more free since Roca went to study. I wonder how that guy is doing at the headquarters. I don't know if he should call me..."
Love complained and opened the file in his hand.
Inside is the paranormal case he recently took over, a surgeon who is suspected to be a ghoul.
This doctor is very cunning. There haven't been any cases of missing persons or corpse thefts around his clinic in the past decade or so. However, he is good at amputation and often recommends this treatment for patients with less serious conditions.
This was a flaw that was neither big nor small, but it could only be considered average. Perhaps this doctor was particularly greedy for money, or perhaps he was only good at amputation surgery. If an investigator had not recently discovered that the blood packs used in his clinic were somewhat different from the quantity purchased, he might have gotten away with it.
"A ghoul who usually survives by drinking blood and occasionally uses amputated limbs to satisfy his hunger... he is really too rational... "
Love became interested: "Could it be a half-vampire ghoul? It's worth investigating..."
As a veteran investigator, he was actually very powerful, and it was no big deal for him to deal with an alien single-handedly.
Because the goal is clear and the intelligence is in place, even ordinary investigators can easily complete the task as long as they prepare special weapons to deal with zombies.
Not to mention, just in case, for example, it was a vampire disguised as a ghoul, he also brought blessed silver weapons.
Deville Clinic.
The old car stopped on the side of the road. Luo Fu pressed the weapon hidden at his waist and pushed open the door of the clinic: "Doctor? Nurse?"
It was quiet inside the clinic.
Too quiet.
"Strange, isn't it business hours now?"
With the proper confusion on his face, Love took a few steps inside.
Suddenly, his expression changed and he smelled blood.
It came from behind a half-open door and had already begun to fade...
Love pulled out his revolver and gently pushed open the door.
A dark red pool of blood emerged, in the middle of which lay the body of a nurse in white, with many body parts missing .
Her head was still intact, her lifeless eyes were wide open, and she seemed to still be filled with the fear of death.
'It's impossible... Miller is a very cautious person. He can endure for decades, so he will never attack the people around him.'
Cold sweat broke out on Love's forehead.
The newly discovered accident seemed to overturn all the clues in the file and put him in a dangerous situation.
He examined the crime scene, took out a dropper bottle, and dropped two drops of liquid into his eyes.
After closing my eyes and opening them again, the world seemed to have changed.
The steel chairs and hospital bed seemed to be filled with a sharp aura. The light became dim, and various colors flashed inexplicably.
On the ground, the pool of blood was now stained with a layer of fluorescence.
At the same time, one wide footprint after another emerged.
Love followed the fluorescent blue-purple footprints out of the clinic and into a forest.
Inside the woods, there is a cave with footprints leading all the way inside.
Love frowned and sent out a signal for help before walking into the cave.
Not long after, he saw a curled up black shadow. The black shadow also saw him and raised his head, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes and a mouth that was cracked to the ears: "Save...save me! It...it's still there..."
Luo Fu suddenly felt ice freezing his spine.
