"You are not judged by your appearance, Miss Melinda."
"Also, it's all here."
Duke resorted to the top tactics in the "Dafa of persuading people" - come all come.
"Sorry," Melinda said, "I know...sorry...I..."
She was a little incoherent.
"Please come in."
Duke tried to appear decent and moderate.
Valley/span sighed inwardly.
Communication is not really my area of expertise.At this moment, he was just imitating John.
"Ok."
Melinda followed Duke inside.
"Tea, or coffee?"
"casual."
"This is a three-flower tea made from chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and jasmine." Duke brewed a cup of hot tea with a faint aroma. "It has the effect of reducing fire and calming the mind. Have you not slept well recently?"
"Yes." Melinda said shyly, "My complexion must be very bad."
Her bags under the eyes can't be described as "lying silkworm", it's almost like "lying trough".
Duke remembered what Mary said, there is a kind of lie called a white lie, so he smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's just a little haggard."
After taking a few sips of hot tea, Melinda felt much better because of psychological factors.Under Duke's guidance, she told what happened during this period.
Recently, Melinda and her family moved to Black Pine Township.
At first, everything was good—the husband got a promotion and a raise, the house was nice and cheap, and the son made new friends.
But the good times didn't last long, and strange things began to happen in the house: the lights flickered inexplicably, weird shadows, strange footsteps, cups and plates fell off the table and broke, and there was a knock on the door.
Duke interrupted suddenly: "Is there any pattern to the knocking on the door?"
Melinda recalled it for a while and said, "Does it count three times every time?"
Banging on the door three times is considered a blasphemy against the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.If it weren't for Melinda's hallucinations, there were indeed unfriendly tenants living in the house or new ones.
Duke did not express his guess, but motioned Melinda to continue.
last night.
Melinda woke up without warning.The bedroom door was open and she heard her son Robbie crying. She rushed out of the bedroom and saw him sitting on the window, facing in, his feet dangling briskly.
"Mom, mom, dear mom, hee hee" Robbie lowered his head in a strange voice.
At the time, Melinda was terrified.
"Robby?"
"Is that you, Robbie?"
She summoned up her courage and slowly leaned over.
"Mom, it's me." Robbie raised his head with a strange smile.
Sudden.
He leans back.
Melinda felt her heart stop beating.
This is the second floor!
She lunged forward and grabbed Robbie before he fell.Melinda was terrified, holding her son and crying bitterly.
Duke glanced at Melinda's calf.
The skin of the calf is pink, but the muscles are blue-gray.
This is the characteristic of the human body breaking through the limit and overdrawing the life of cells.Melinda didn't feel it at this moment, and the sequelae would slowly show up, causing a bang.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
That's why she was able to hold her son at a critical moment.
"There is a question." Duke said, "There are so many things happening at home, where is your husband?"
"James said that he didn't notice any abnormalities, and that I was stressed by moving to a new environment, and suggested that I see a psychiatrist. In fact, Robbie had no memory of what happened last night." Melinda smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I also Think, am I crazy?"
"I understand the general situation. Please leave the next thing to us."
Duke handed Melinda a card with the Witcher Guild's service hotline on it.
The customer service lady will collect a deposit according to the situation, send investigators, and then set a task reward based on the investigation results, and send the reward to the demon hunter after deducting the expenses.
【ps1】2021年6月6日,真的是周6。【ps2】666,魔鬼代码,你懂的。
The cost of a complete set of guild services generally accounts for 10% to 30% of the commission, and the specific ratio depends on the difficulty of the task.
For novice witchers, this service is highly recommended.
There's a saying in the industry: "There are no reckless witchers"—meaning, all reckless witchers are dead.
He took two glass bottles from a cabinet by the wall.
"These are the seeds of the fire tree and the deep mountain well salt. Sprinkle the seeds on the door and window of the room, and sprinkle the well salt under the pillow. They are especially useful for spiritual things and will protect you."
"Miss Melinda, I know how to comfort you, but there is a saying in our business—"
"If demons exist, then gods must also exist, don't worry."
Duke let out a sigh of relief after sending away Melinda, who had a look in her eyes.
"Nice job, duke!"
Interpersonal relationship has never been an area Duke is good at. He is imitating John's movements, expressions and speaking methods when he was receiving guests before.
So far, the effect is good.
After giving himself a thumbs up, Duke took out his phone and called Nina.
Nina is an independent investigator, good at network technology, about the same age as Duke, and a pretty girl.
The call is connected.
"Nina, it's me, is it convenient to talk?"
"Hold on……"
Nina lowered her voice.
Duke heard trot's footsteps and the closing of the door, and after a while, he heard Nina's voice:
"All right, Duke."
A little out of breath.
"Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"
"Very good, how about you?"
"Not bad, I got the witcher practice certificate?"
"Really?! You passed the test?"
"No." Duke scratched his head and said, "My parents got one through their relationship."
"Oh." Nina said, "But with your strength, passing the trial is easy."
Duke has been trained as a demon hunter since he was a child, and his strength is stronger than many official demon hunters. It is really easy to pass the trial.
"It's like this. I took an order. Are you free to help me investigate some situations?" After a brief greeting, Mike stated his purpose.
"If you are free, you must be free." Nina was a little excited.
By chance, she came into contact with the world of demon hunters, but she is just an ordinary person with congenital asthma, so it is almost impossible to become a demon hunter.Fortunately, she is very talented in computers, so she became an investigator.
She likes the supernatural and feels that this is the reality of the world.
"The Banks family: Husband James, wife Melinda, and son Robbie. They live at 6-06 Birch Street, Black Pine Town, and previously lived at 18 Green Road, Baker Bay." Duke reported the information he had asked. to Nina.
"Got it, give me two hours." Nina said confidently.
Chatted with Nina for a while.
hang up the phone.
A deposit of two hundred was made to Nina's account.
Nina's appearance appeared in Duke's mind: medium height, well-proportioned figure, long brown hair tied into a big braid, beautiful facial features that cannot be concealed by black-rimmed glasses, and a shy smile.
Dry mouth.
At this time, the Teddy who was basking in the sun at the door came in, kicked his hind foot, and closed the door with a "snap".
"Boy, you're in love, do you want to have sex?"
Teddy spoke out.
Duke's ears were hot, and he said a word very gently:
"roll"
Hearing this, Teddy rolled around on the ground.
mean look.
Teddy's name is Boros, and he claims to be a descendant of the three-headed dog "Cerberus".But according to John, Boros is a demon possessed by humans. He made a mistake when transferring the host, and accidentally possessed Teddy, causing memory confusion and loss of ability.
Boros signed a contract with the Winchester family, and his current status is "working dog".
Boros asked, "What's for dinner?"
"Burgundy red wine stewed beef, lobster sashimi, lamb stewed with potatoes, foie gras steak, winter solstice pudding..."
When Boros's saliva was about to drip, Duke said ruthlessly: "I don't have any of these, eat whatever you have."
"whispering sound!"
