Chapter 26 Night in the Cape District
Kylena is a special alchemical transformation person whose function is to transform the brain into a record carrier similar to a "database". They have very good memory abilities and will not easily forget what they remember.
Very qualified for work like confidential secretary.
Also because they had access to too much confidential information, in order to prevent others from taking advantage of them, a "loyalty valve" was installed on the alchemy probe that penetrated into their brains.
When people who are not "loyal objects" ask them for sensitive information, the "loyalty valve" will remind them not to answer.
The "Loyalty Valve" also has the function of burning out their brains.
Luke was glad that he didn't say anything nonsense just now, otherwise it would really damage the dignity of his detective.
"No need to apologize, this is your duty... I don't think you need those glasses, you are very beautiful and charming, all you lack is confidence.
In order to survive in this world, many people are forced to change their bodies. There is no need for you to feel inferior because of this. Only by forgetting the past and facing yourself squarely can you have a new beginning."
Kylena, who was about to put on her glasses, looked up at Luke and asked in surprise: "Detective, do you know my past?"
Luke smiled: "I know a little, but not much. Treating people who have undergone body modification as inferior people is the abnormal psychology of some so-called superior people. I sympathize with your family's experience, but a noble lady wants to
Go through that gap.
Now that you have chosen this path, you must let go of your superior thoughts. Your new life has just begun."
Kylena looked at the glasses in her hand, hesitated and threw them into the trash can.
But I still untied my bun and covered the right ear with the loose hair.
"Thank you, Detective, I will try to change myself. Now that you have my loyalty, I can introduce you to the security system here."
When part of the Secret Intelligence Service is attacked, the inspector's dormitory will automatically enter a closed state, and the gates will seal the doors and windows tightly.
If an intruder breaks through, two offensive alchemy puppets will be dropped from the ceiling of the living room.
There is a secret passage in the bedroom that allows the trapped detective to escape smoothly.
"Detective, I have recorded your voiceprint into the security system here. You can issue commands to turn on and off all functions of the security system."
Luke asked, "Can I try it now?"
"Can."
"Open the secret passage."
As the sound of a chain came from under the floor, a part of the floor in the middle of the bedroom descended layer by layer, forming a downward staircase.
At the other end of the stairs, a dim lamp was turned on, illuminating a narrow passage.
Luke asked Kylena: "Where does this secret passage lead to?"
"I'm sorry, detective, I don't know. This secret passage can only be used by the detective of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. I only know that it exists and cannot be opened or used."
"I understand." Luke ordered the secret passage to close, and then asked Kylena: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Not for now, Inspector. Your dinner is on the table in the living room. I wish you a good night."
"Good night."
Kylena left and after the door closed, the room became quiet.
Luke was very satisfied with this dormitory. It was countless times better than Shelley's home. Moreover, it was protected by imperial agents on duty outside, and there was a security system inside that looked very practical.
Especially that tunnel, you can get out without alerting anyone.
Luke looked at his phone, which was charging in his mind.
Battery: 92%
It will take another two hours to fully charge.
eat first.
Luke opened the food box and found a plate of beef stew with potatoes, three grilled fish steaks, a large piece of bread, two sausages, and a bowl of vegetable salad.
A military kettle filled with rum.
Not bad, quite rich.
…
Beacon Street, the Assassin's Tavern hidden in the shadows.
The small window on the closed door was open, and a big yellow eye looked out at the street scene from inside.
It's just that Beacon Street, which usually gets busier as it gets later, can't see anyone at this time.
All nightclubs, gambling houses, brothels... are all closed. The sea breeze blows the debris on the road, filling the atmosphere with a solemn atmosphere.
When a familiar figure jumped from above to the door of the assassin's tavern, the door of the tavern opened immediately.
Tas raised one of his tentacles and saluted the elf who walked in.
"Good evening, powerful and generous Miss Clear Sky. You are our first guest tonight, and possibly our only guest."
Luke, who logged in as Clear Sky and came to the Assassin's Tavern, stopped walking inside.
"Is business so bad here tonight?"
"This is all caused by you killing Jumu. The strength of the Crazy Ax Party has been greatly reduced, and the interests of the dock they vacated have attracted many people to compete for it.
I don’t know how many people will die tonight.
With 5,000 gold coupons to seize the dock controlled by the Crazy Ax Party, the publisher of the bounty mission made the most successful investment."
Luke gave Tess a silver certificate.
"I don't care who owns the dock, I just want to know is my money ready?"
Tas stretched out his tentacles and happily took the silver coupon: "Thank you to the generous Miss Qingkong. Your bounty is ready, it's inside, and our boss is also there.
He wants to talk to you about deepening cooperation. An assassin as powerful as you is a much-needed partner."
The owner of the Assassin Tavern is here too!
"I don't want to see him just yet," Luke said.
"This is your freedom. If you don't want to talk to our boss, just take the money from Billy and leave. Our boss is very kind and won't make things difficult for you."
"Yes, your boss is a very kind man."
Luke walked down the building.
The tavern was indeed very empty.
Tonight and the next few nights will be a rare and grand scene in the Cape District. Of course, the assassins will seize the opportunity to swipe orders and make a lot of money.
Of course I don't have time to drink here.
In the dim tavern, there was only a man wearing an old-style aristocratic dress, drinking alone in a corner. His fiery red hair was tied into a pigtail, which was a unique hairstyle for the old-style aristocrats.
The old aristocracy, which has declined, still persists in the stubbornness that is destined to be abandoned by the times.
Luke just looked at him casually and walked to the bar to sit down.
Lizard Man Billy poured Luke a glass of wine.
"This cup is for you from my boss, he..."
Luke said: "Please thank your boss for me. I am not a professional assassin. I am not sure if I will come here to drink next time.
I'm here to take my bounty."
Lizard Man Billy looked at his boss, and then took out a heavy bag from under the bar.
"Miss Qingkong, this is the bounty you got for assassinating the horned demon giant tree. There are a total of 5,000 gold coupons, part of which I exchanged for silver coupons and Imperial Marks according to your instructions.
