The people who went to investigate have returned?

Hearing the other party's words, Ronald immediately became alert.

He hadn't forgotten the night he had crossed over.

The scene of the whole village lighting candles on a rainy night still sends chills down the spine when I think back to it.

Seeing that Ronald's expression became serious, the lady of the Investigation Bureau did not explain much.

She pulled a page directly from the document in her hand and handed it over.

"Look at it."

"Thank you."

Taking the document handed over by the other party, Ronald read it.

This is a record file like an expedition diary.

[October 29]

The town is unharmed, there is no record of the entry of mysterious people in the local church, and there are traces of surgical arrangements around Adler Manor, which is inferred to have occurred two weeks ago based on the status of the traces.

[October 30]

According to research, the villa where Ronald Adler is located is normal, and there is no trace of it after the surgical arrangement two weeks ago. The servant confirmed that Sir Ronald himself had indeed left the villa without notice, and that the details of the time, appearance, and body shape all matched the physical characteristics of the reporter and his description.

[November 1]

Random interviews with local residents, the time mentioned by the reporter was indeed a rainy night, but the local residents interviewed during the polygraph procedure all said that they had no memory of lighting candles that night, men, women and children, and church personnel also confirmed it.

......

At the bottom of the work diary-like file is the investigator's conclusion.

【Survey Results】

The local population has not been exposed to occult knowledge, and the nuns of the Church have confirmed that the occult population is kept within safe thresholds and shows no signs of alienation.

In view of the fact that there is no actual property and population loss in the village, it is inferred that this incident is a spell test by a warlock in the field, and Sir Ronald, as a mysterious person, was hallucinated by the interference of spells, and it is not recommended to conduct a follow-up investigation.

Hazard Rating: [Low].

“......”

It is clearly written in black and white, and the Investigation Bureau has indeed sent someone to investigate.

At the same time, in order to make Ronald clearly understand the timing, the woman also added an explanation:

"We at the Bureau of Investigation have replaced the dry and frost months with October and November."

"It's a way of writing from the Springs, and it's easier to record on paper."

“......”

Listening to the voice in front of him, Ronald did not look up.

Looking at the results of the investigation, he thought for a few more seconds before he spoke again:

"Ma'am, have all the investigators who went to my hometown come back safely?"

"Of course." The lady sitting across from her nodded, "I can probably understand your concerns, sir, but our investigators have all returned to Brunwich, and they have not been examined to interfere with their memory or sanity. ”

"The findings are credible."

"It was probably just an accident, all you saw that night was a hallucination, but you just believed it to be true."

“......”

Ronald is thinking -

He was sure that what he was seeing was not a hallucination.

After all, at that time, he had just escaped the trial of the illusion, and he had obtained an original-level magic guide book, and there was "The Divine Mallet of Rain and Mist" to protect himself on a rainy night, and there was no reason for him to be confused without noticing.

Then the contradiction comes out -

The Bureau of Investigation went to that place, and when they had completed their investigation, they returned to Brenwich unharmed.

According to reliable findings, the villagers' answers were completely different from their own.

Could it be that the memories of the local residents have been altered?

Or is it .....

"Mr. Ronald."

Just as Ronald continued to think, the lady in front of him interrupted his thoughts:

"The purpose of the existence of our Investigation Bureau is to protect Grad from illegal and mysterious people, so we will not pursue your mistake report, after all, you are also a victim."

“......”

Ronald wanted to refute the other party.

But he held back.

If you tell everything in one go, you can really convince the other party to send someone to investigate again.

But the result of this is to expose his ability to control the original text.

With the average moral standard of the current era, Ronald doesn't think it's a good idea.

Ronald's silence seemed to the investigators to agree with her.

On the mysterious side, people with fragile minds are frightened, and then false positives often happen.

It's not a big deal.

Raising the glass of water on the table and taking a sip, the woman continued:

"Now, let's talk about the next thing."

Ronald looked away from the investigation report, his expression calming as usual:

"Is it my transfer notice?"

"That's right." Answering Ronald, the lady of the Bureau of Investigation suddenly smiled kindly, "But don't worry, it's not that the Bureau of Investigation is showing hostility to you, but it really needs you to join us temporarily." ”

Ronald raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little incredulous:

"Joining temporarily?"

"Yes, join for now!"

The lady nodded in affirmation before continuing:

"Actually, it's not just you, we've extended this invitation to several people who live in Bronwich and are clean."

I'm afraid it's more than that......

As soon as the words came out, Ronald understood the other party's true motives.

There are so few people in the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau.

It should be that there is some kind of problem on the mysterious side of Brenwich, and it will take a lot of people to deal with it now.

In this case, the top management of the Bureau of Investigation chose to temporarily gather some mysterious people who are easy to control and help them complete some unimportant work.

Ronald's report confirms this from the side.

It was sent to the Bureau of Investigation a week ago—

If the Bureau of Investigation had thought about it, it would have informed itself of the result a long time ago.

If it weren't for the need to recruit him, this record probably wouldn't have been seen by Ronald.

After all, in the conclusion of the investigation, there was little danger on Yoez's side.

In the style of the Bureau of Investigation, they did not bother to give a person frightened by hallucinations a special notification of the results.

The change of his position is not just because of 'the bottom is clean and clean'.

is even more because in the eyes of the people in the Investigation Bureau, he, who was frightened by hallucinations and fled from his hometown overnight, is very easy to control!

Sure enough, the lady sitting across from her spoke again:

"Mr. Ronald."

"We are very satisfied with your attitude of reporting on the same day you received the notification."

"For the rest of the winter, all you have to do is do some very simple work here at the Bureau of Investigation."

"That's right." The lady smiled as if she remembered something.

"As compensation, this winter, in addition to the temporary staff's salary, we will also pay you a week's salary for working at the train station."

Ronald smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Today's transfer wasn't for the train station, which was great.

I don't mind changing jobs this winter.

It's better to say—

And then this opportunity.

He can learn more about the mysterious side of this world!
