Chapter 140: A Strange Dream
"I'm Henrik, I'm a friend of Ingmar, can you talk to me about your mother?"
Henrik walked up to the girl and asked straight to the point.
"Mr. Henrik?"
Hathaway's eyes flashed with surprise, "I heard my mother mention you, and she said you ......"
Hathaway seemed to think of something and suddenly shut her mouth.
Hehe, Roger is already a little surprised by this, to be honest, he is really curious, in the circle of demon hunters, is there no one who will say good things about Henrik?
After thinking about it, Roger shook his head.
Although this guy is reliable, he ......
The three of them returned to their previous table and sat down.
Hathaway's mood stabilized at this time, so she recounted what happened.
"You know, every demon hunter has their own way of getting quests, and about a week ago, my mother came back and told me one day that she had a big job."
"Help a wealthy businessman who is quite influential in the city solve the problems her daughter encountered."
"Do you remember the name of the rich merchant?"
Henrik asked suddenly.
Hathaway nodded, "There is a detailed investigation of the mother in the family, the man's name is Qiaofu, a real estate tycoon, and his daughter is Veronica, a famous modern girl. β
"When you encounter such a question, why didn't that man named Qiao Fu go to the Hunters' Guild?"
Roger asked, a little confused.
Since the other party has the resources to contact the Demon Hunters, they should have some understanding of the transcendent world, and similarly, they should also know about the existence of the Hunter Guild.
"Because the scope of the Hunter Guild's jurisdiction is too large and the manpower is extremely limited, dealing with similar problems needs to be reported and reviewed layer by layer, and only after approval will it start to act."
"Compared to the demon hunters who act alone, the timeliness is much worse, if the matter is really urgent, by the time the Hunter Guild sends the hunters to the scene, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Henrik explained.
Listening to his words, Roger remembered that the missions he had accepted before had only been discovered by the Hunters' Guild after causing a certain amount of sensation in the local area.
Although the spread of the situation was contained, from another point of view, the Hunter Guild was mostly resolved after the fact.
At this point, you can understand the meaning of the existence of the demon hunter family.
There are no complicated procedures, and they can deal with some mysterious worlds that are about to happen in time.
Like Hathaway mentioned this time.
Veronica told his father that for a long time recently, she would have the same nightmare after falling asleep.
"When the clock strikes midnight, she wakes up from her sleep and finds herself in a strange room with retro dΓ©cor and a wild goat carpet on the floor."
"And she herself was lying on a large bed decorated with crystal pendants, wearing a white wedding dress."
"Although in a dream, her brain can remain absolutely awake and can remember everything that happens around her, even every detail, but she can't control her body and can only passively observe."
"At first, she just thought it was an ordinary nightmare, but when she woke up one time, she found that she had accidentally injured her finger, and the same scar appeared on it."
This alerted her, and told Jofo about it.
Hathaway said as she pulled out a thick notebook from her satchel.
"Here are some of the materials my mother has collected."
"I also learned about things through the information here, and when I was at home, she almost never talked to me about anything related to demon hunting."
"Later, Qiao Fu found his mother, and his mother judged from previous experience that this should be just an ordinary ghost haunting incident, and the wound on the girl's body should have been injured by herself under the influence of her spirit."
"Qiao Fu proposed to his mother to let her move in directly with Veronica, which is probably one of the important reasons why he chose his mother."
"So five days ago, my mother rushed to the villa in Veronica."
"I didn't hear from her for several days, so I was a little worried and dialed her phone, but the phone was turned off and no one answered."
"I had no choice but to find out her preliminary investigation and call Qiao Fu."
There was a hint of anger on the girl's face.
"But what I didn't expect was that the man told me that his employment relationship with his mother had ended, and he paid me to stop bothering him!"
"He actually treated me like a scoundrel who wanted to extort money."
"I was going to look for him, but he seems to have left the city of Bordeaux, and even Veronica is nowhere to be seen."
Hathaway sighed.
"I really couldn't find any clues, so I had to try to come to the bar and ask for help."
"I didn't expect ......"
Henrik flipped through the notes in his hand.
The information recorded above is not detailed, it should be just some bits and pieces of information that Ingmar wrote down, but through this information, he can probably sketch out what happened.
If he didn't guess wrong, the strange thing about that Veronica must have been solved, and this solution is probably related to Ingmar's disappearance.
The most important thing now is to find Veronica, or Joof, and find out what happened, only then can we find out why Ingmar disappeared.
Ingmar had left the house 5 days earlier, and counting some of the investigations, it had been at least 4 days since she had actually investigated.
This is a very dangerous time, and if they don't speed up the investigation, even if they find Ingmar in the end, all they will get is a corpse.
"Leave this matter to me."
Henrik closed his notes, "I'm a friend of Ingmar, and I won't sit idly by. β
"Count me in."
Roger spoke suddenly, and he listened patiently the whole time, only then did he make his point.
"Roger, this is dangerous, Ingmar is just a stranger to you, you don't need to ......"
Roger interrupted Henrik with a smile, "Who said it wasn't necessary, if I'm not mistaken, the person you took me here to wait for today should be Ingmar, right?"
"Plus, I need it."
As he spoke, he gestured to the girl sitting across from him.
Thinking of what the man named John had just said, Hathaway's fair face turned red.
To be honest, she didn't know where she got the courage just now, she was so full of thinking about saving her mother that she couldn't care about anything else.
But at this time.
"Ahem."
Henrik gave Roger a look, "You're going too far...... If you like other people's girls, you can pursue them openly. β
"It's something to look down on."
"Please, what are you thinking?"
Roger couldn't laugh or cry.
"That's what I want!"
As he spoke, he took the wooden box that Hathaway had placed in front of him.
"Witch grass."
"It's not for nothing."
"It's mine!"
