Chapter 119 Badge Activation
Chapter 119 Badge Activation
Not knowing that his sister's family photo was in the hands of the director, Leon, who had been "absent from work without reason" for several days, walked towards the head of the first floor as soon as he left the director's office, and identified the nameplate on the door along the way.
Harry... Spike... Tom... Jerry... It looks like this is the one.
After checking the name tag that read "Jerry Baker (Level 2 Crisis Coordinator)" and confirming that he had found the right person, Leon was about to reach out and knock on the door when he suddenly felt something strange all over. He felt as if he was standing on a high platform and being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
"squeak!"
Seeing Leon suddenly turn his head and look at him, the mice in the shadows were startled, screamed and turned around and ran away. A small group of ants that had quietly crawled to Leon's feet also hurriedly moved their six legs to quickly evacuate as if they had discovered an anteater. A pair of flies that landed on the corridor above their heads had already stood up and flew to a distant corner before Leon cast his eyes over...
So… these are his “friends”?
Looking at the snakes, insects, rats and ants flying away quickly, and feeling the "gazes" cast on him, Leon couldn't help but blink thoughtfully, and had some guesses about the ability of Senior Jerry.
At this moment, a golden retriever suddenly appeared from behind the window glass of the office in front of him. After looking at Leon curiously through the glass, the dog's head quickly retracted. The door in front of Leon opened and a short man hurriedly ran out of the office.
"You are finally back."
Before Leon could speak, the short man grabbed him and led him into the office with a warm look on his face, and then said with eager eyes:
“Haha, actually, when you were on a mission before, I happened to be free, and I wanted to go and help you, but the director said it was just an investigation mission, and nothing would go wrong, so he didn’t let me go. I didn’t expect it to be delayed for so many days.
By the way, the director has told you about my affairs, right? Then I will trouble you from now on, and no matter what the final result is, the compensation will definitely satisfy you! "
"..."
???
Seeing Leon's confused expression, the short man's expression couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
"Didn't the chief tell you?"
"No……"
Lyon said in confusion:
"The director assigned me several tasks, one of which is to rescue someone at Rose Manor. I need you to help lead the way. As for other matters, she didn't tell me."
"Um...it's okay. If she didn't say anything, then it's the same if I talk to you."
After secretly cursing his own director for being unreliable, the short man led Leon to sit on the sofa in the office, then reached out and patted the glass plate on the table, then tapped his tongue tip on his upper teeth twice quickly, making a sound similar to "tsk tsk".
"Wang!"
Accompanied by a dog barking, the big golden retriever that once glanced at Leon through the window suddenly appeared under the glass plate of the coffee table... or inside the glass plate?
After taking a look at Leon's surprised face, the big dog, which weighed nearly 30 kilograms, nudged the short man's hand with its nose through the glass and even licked him.
"I'm not looking for you to play, I want something!" After shaking his wet palms, the short man first looked at Leon, then rubbed his face and throat, and then started barking like a dog, occasionally mixing in some howls and grunts.
As Leon stared in surprise, the golden retriever in the glass nodded, as if it understood the short man's "dog talk", stood up and walked to the side of the glass, disappearing from the sight of the two men.
A few seconds later, it returned to the "picture" again, dragging a sturdy-looking net bag, and walked towards the two people with some difficulty, then turned its head and threw it out with force!
“Crash, bang!”
Along with the sound of a hard object hitting the glass, the thing that filled a whole net bag was actually thrown out of the mirror and fell on the table with a crackling sound.
Bloodstained dancing shoes, strange dried fish with a fishy smell, a notebook with an eye on the cover, a few strange coins that kept spinning, a palm-sized model bed tied with chains, a Santa hat full of holes... there were probably more than thirty or fifty items in total.
Staring at this pile of strange things with his eyes wide open, Leon's heart couldn't help but jump slightly, and then he said in disbelief:
"Are these... all abnormal objects?"
"pretty close."
After rubbing his hands impatiently, the short man laughed and said:
"You'll know it sooner or later anyway, so I won't hide it from you. I'm a bit of a... uh... kleptomaniac, so the first abnormal objects I got were also related to theft. The pile in front of me is my accumulation over the years.
Don't worry, although I am a thief, I have principles. I only steal from outsiders and not from acquaintances. Since you have joined our Sixth Bureau, you are one of us. I definitely can't really steal your things."
"..."
You can’t “really” steal my things, so that means you’ll “pretend” to steal when you can’t help it, right?
After taking note of this senior's "little habit" and being extra careful, Leon tentatively said:
"So, Senior, you came to me because you know that I have the ability to forcibly obtain information about abnormal objects, and you want me to help you look at these things?"
"The enemy!"
Seeing that Leon did not look resistant, the short man could not help but be overjoyed and promised excitedly:
"Although I have obtained a lot of good things over the years, anomalies are not the same as others. If I don't know the effect and price, I really don't dare to touch them. So I can only pile them up like this. Obviously, the number of anomalies is more than Emma, but it is still stuck at level 2 and can't be upgraded.
After learning about your abilities from the director a few days ago, I was so happy that I almost went crazy! If you can help me identify these things and give me a few more anomalies that I can use, it will really help me a lot. When the time comes, as long as the anomalies that I can't use, you can just take any one you like!"
Can I help you identify the items and then pick one at random?
After listening to the task issued by the "NPC senior" in front of him, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, then opened the badge panel and took a look. Sure enough, the [Relationship] badge was flashing continuously.
([The bronze hidden badge "Relationship" is activated, and you have obtained a resource support from within the organization. After completing the conditions proposed by the resource provider, you can receive the resource])
It seems that this is the effect of activating the hidden badge [Relationship] before going to Ryan's house. It is worthy of being a hidden badge. Just by reaching out and touching it a few times, you can exchange it for an unusual object. This deal is really quite cost-effective.
After closing the badge panel, Leon didn't hesitate, but took out the pen and paper he carried with him, smiled and nodded.
"Then I would like to thank you for your generosity."
