Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 16 It Turns Out You Tried Me

"Good morning, Mr. Pete."

"Good morning, Eve." Old Pete smiled, obviously pleased that Eve was on time for work. He had a kind face, but because he always looked serious, he seemed difficult to approach. Now, with a smile, he looked like a kind-looking grandfather next door.

Old Pete took out several small mirrors from the cabinet and handed them to Eve: "This is your weapon."

Mirror?

Eve was a little disappointed. In her imagination, her weapon should be a sword, just like the knights in ancient times. After all, which boy doesn't have a dream of becoming a martial arts hero?
But Eve is not a knight, but a witch. For a witch, a mirror is indeed a more suitable weapon than a sword. After all, one of the witch's core abilities is mirror magic.

"You have been assigned to Team 1, Group 2, and will be responsible for the afternoon patrol mission in the central city. In the morning, you can go to the patrol team's reception desk in the central city to handle matters, and you can go directly to the reception desk in the future." Old Pete said.

The school is in the central city, so it will be very convenient to send Ouroboros to school and find Miss Elizabeth.

By the way, I still have to pick up Ouroboros. Let’s pick him up during lunch break.

As Eve thought about this, she used the mirror to jump to the central city area and looked around for a long time before she found the inconspicuous little house.

"squeak--"

"Hello, may I ask... Hey! I'm a new member."

"Hello." Eve greeted the people in the house. Although the house was not big, there were quite a few people inside.

"What's your name?"

"What way?"

"Sequence number?"

Questions were thrown at her one after another, and the girl answered them one by one. Eve was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of her colleagues.

"Sequence Three!" The colleagues exclaimed when they heard Eve's answer. After all, although Sequence Three was not good enough in this world, it was still very high for the city patrol team members who were all low-sequence extraordinary people.

But they didn't seem to consider why Sequence Three Eve was patrolling the city, merely saying things like "How impressive!" When someone raised this question out of curiosity, Eve offered an answer. She could sense their pure curiosity, not malicious speculation.

When they learned that Eve was arranged by Sasriel, they all said that His Highness Sasriel must have a deeper meaning.

For a moment, Eve was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know whether to praise Sasriel for being so popular among the people or to praise the residents for being so simple and kind. It should be a bit of both.

The work at the reception desk is relatively easy. It is just about dealing with troubles from residents. Usually, everyone helps each other when they have any troubles. If they can't solve them, they will first go to the homes of nearby patrol team members. They will only come here if the team members are not at home. Therefore, there are very few people. Only one person came in the morning. She even fell asleep on the table and was not woken up by her colleagues until lunch break.

Eve guessed that they gave her the simplest job to take care of the newcomer, and she felt warm in her heart.

Eve, touched by the warmth of her colleagues, walked briskly to pick up Ouroboros.

"Ouroboros, I'm here to pick you up." As soon as Eve appeared outside the prison, she saw the little boy sitting on the chair and Oseicus standing next to the boy.

"Osaycus is here too. Is he waiting for me?" Eve leaned over and said in a rather mean tone.

"Tsk," Oseikus gave Eve a look of disdain. "I wanted to see what abilities you, chosen by the Lord as his Favored One, possess to surpass even the superior me!"

"Have you seen my excellence?"

"Nothing special," Oseicus said mercilessly, and then a hint of fanaticism appeared on his face. The speed of his expression changed made Eve sigh in admiration. "Ordinary people can't see it at all. Only the Lord can do it! Praise the great, noble, omniscient and omnipotent Lord!" Eve: ...Thank you, I am offended

Eve covered Ouroboros' eyes and said, "Ouroboros, don't learn from him."

Unexpectedly, upon seeing this, Osaycus angrily slapped his hand away and shouted, "You false believer, what are you doing! You are telling him, the people of the great Lord, not to believe in and praise the Lord! Damn it! As a believer, you must believe in the Lord wholeheartedly. I really want to burn you to ashes!"

"Oh, yes, yes." Eve responded perfunctorily and the next second she successfully saw Osaykus's somewhat frustrated face. He was angry but had nowhere to vent, as if he had punched cotton.

"Pfft." Eve couldn't help but laugh. "Ahem." Seeing Osaykus's eyes becoming more and more dangerous, Eve quickly changed the subject and asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "Why did you think I believed in evil gods?"

"I took a look into your house and my eyes started to ache and bleed. If this isn't believing in an evil god, what is it?"

"Why are you looking into my room?" Eve asked puzzledly.

Osaycus glanced at Ouroleus.

Eve and Ouroboros looked at each other and then reacted.

Ouroboros's information was incorrect, so Oseicus looked over. It seemed this guy had no concept of privacy. He took a look inside Eve's room, and then...

Good man, it turns out that it was you who tricked me!
Ouroboros blinked his big eyes, his innocent and confused expression showing that he was still out of the situation.

But this matter can't be blamed on him.

"You bastard," Eve said viciously, "don't you know how to respect other people's privacy?"

Osaykus gave her a strange look, as if he didn't understand why she was angry. "What's privacy?"

Eve felt like she was having trouble breathing, feeling a bit suffocated. She pulled Ouroboros over and disappeared from Oseicus' sight, leaving only one sentence lingering in her memory: "Ask your Lord!"

Beicheng District

Eve carried Ouroboros back home, put him on a chair, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

The little boy shook his head. "That's perfect," Eve said as she tied her apron. "Let's eat together."

Eve took out the rabbit she had hunted with Amanisis last night and started to work.

While processing the rabbit, she sighed in her heart. Although she could cook, she always ordered takeout. Her mother scolded her countless times for this. She didn't expect that the next time she entered the kitchen, she would be in another world.

The only seasoning was salt, so Eve simply roasted it and sprinkled some salt on it, and it was delicious.

After cutting the rabbit in half and giving it to Ouroboros, Eve couldn't wait to eat it. "Well, it would be nice if there was some sweet bean sauce. Cumin would be good too," she thought to herself while eating.

"I have to go to work this afternoon," Eve said. "You stay home and don't run around. I'll try to see if I can send you to school."

After eating, Eve told Ouroboros some extraordinary knowledge, and then hurried to work.

In the afternoon, Eve's job was to patrol. She followed the patrol team through the entire central city area and found that the school was very large, with more than a dozen rooms. There were three cafeterias alone, but there was no wall so it was mixed with residential houses.

After get off work, Eve went straight to the school.
