Chapter 364: No 2 Degrees
Chapter 364: No Second Opening
[Name: List of Evil and Fallen (fallen, name, location)]
[Appearance: An exceptionally beautifully bound leather register, smooth and delicate to the touch with a slight warmth. After the registrant signs his or her name, the exact number of “sins” the registrant has committed will appear on the back.]
[Abilities: Sin Record, Devil's Name, Target Location]
[Price: For the signer, after signing your name on it, your aura will be permanently recorded and can only be erased after death; for the user, each time the positioning ability is used, one's own "sin" record will be consumed.]
[File: An ancient anomaly made using the facial skin of a god-level spell demon. It can use the power of rules that the spell demon is born with to record the signer's information extremely covertly, and immediately lock the other party's current location after activation (only in the same plane).
This special anomaly was made by the Lord of Betrayal, who was ranked ninth among the Lords of Hell, to guard against the betrayal of his subordinates, and it was sewn directly onto the flesh on the back of his left hand.
However, during an invasion three hundred and seventy-five years ago, the director of the Twin Branch of the Cleanup Bureau sneaked up on the Lord of Betrayal and cut off his left hand with the help of the abnormal object [Two-part Photo Frame]. The "Evil and Fallen List" sewn on the back of the Lord of Betrayal's hand was stored in the warehouse of the Twin Branch as a trophy of that battle...】
[Comment: Turn over the third autograph book with the initial "A" and you will see an unexpected surprise]
[Infection value: 0 (registrant) / half of the current infection value of the target to be queried (user)]
[Through your own observations and summaries, you have obtained a large amount of information about the "Evil List", the strange color... Your resistance to this abnormal object has increased significantly, and you can now block deeper influences.]
……
Twin Branch...
So this mission is related to Director Aquarius? But wasn't he severely injured by the director in the dead world, so it's impossible for him to come back in a short time? Could this be a backup plan he had before?
After reading the files of the [Degenerate List] and seeing familiar information in it, Leon's brows suddenly frowned slightly unconsciously. Then he followed the suggestions in the evaluation column, found the third autograph book with the letter A written on it, and flipped to the back.
It was all white... The back of the autograph book was covered with paper.
Not only the back side, but all the front and back sides of the signature book, except for the page that he had not signed yet, were covered tightly with paper. One could only see each customer's code and the total amount of the unpaid bills in their name.
After frowning again, Leon was about to rub off the paper covering the back of the autograph book, but someone grabbed his arm.
"Your Excellency the Duke! Please don't do this!"
After stopping Leon's rather reckless action in time, the startled waiter relaxed a little, and then reminded him with embarrassment:
"According to the rules, all records of all guests, including you, are kept completely confidential and only the responsible person can know them.
The reason we do this is to better protect the privacy of our guests, so please..."
"It's just a shabby place for drinking, why is it so mysterious?"
After remembering the director's advice to "not alert the enemy", Leon narrowed his eyes slightly, temporarily gave up the idea of looking at the signature book, and then pretended to be unhappy and threw the pen on the registration book, saying with an unhappy face:
"If you don't want to read it, then don't read it. Then I won't sign it!"
"I'm so sorry, this way please!"
Seeing that Leon had given up looking through the autograph book, the waiter couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and didn't dare mention the autograph anymore. Instead, he winked at the person behind the main counter, signaling him to put the autograph book away quickly, and quickly led Leon towards the stairs.
"This is the VIP area!"
After the two of them went up to the third floor, the waiter who almost caused a disaster led Leon to sit in front of the bar on the third floor, and then introduced with an earnest look on his face: “The drinks on the third floor will be changed every week, and the bartenders responsible for mixing drinks will also take turns at irregular intervals. Each of them has their own style. If you are interested in any one, you can also request it separately, and I can help you call the person.
If you don’t like mixed drinks and prefer to drink neat, you can lift up the tapestry on your right hand side. Behind it is a private room that is more suitable for drinking alone and tasting quietly…”
"alright, I got it."
After interrupting the waiter, in order to find the waiter named Jacob and track down the whereabouts of the wallet, Duke Ang, who had a bad temper, said impatiently:
"Go down, I can walk around by myself, I don't need you here!"
"OK……"
Seeing that Leon looked quite unhappy, as if he had a bad impression of himself because of the autograph just now, the waiter could only nod helplessly, and then said respectfully:
“Then I won’t bother you for now, but according to the rules I can’t leave too far, I will wait for you in the waiting room between the second and third floors.
If you need my service in the future, just inform the waiter on the third floor and ask him to call Jacob at the door of the waiting room, and I will come to you again and continue to serve you. "
"Uh-huh?"
Wait? Your name is Jacob?
So you are the waiter the director asked me to find? But shouldn't you be in the VIP area on the third floor? Why are you greeting guests at the door instead?
"Wait a moment!"
After calling out to the waiter who wanted to leave, Leon coughed and said:
"Or... you'd better not go down."
Jacob: “?”
"I just thought about it. After all, this is my first time here, so it would be nice to have someone to introduce me to you."
"..."
You changed your mind too quickly, didn't you? This Duke is really...
Although he had some complaints in his heart, Jacob, as a waiter, still maintained a polite and respectful smile on his face, without any flaws in his etiquette.
It's nothing. The other party is someone he can't afford to offend. Grabbing his arm just now was a completely subconscious behavior. When he realized what he had done, he found that a small area of his clothes on the back was wet by the cold.
Given the huge gap in their identities and status, no matter what the other party asked for, the best option was to just do it. If what just happened happened again, he might not have the courage to grab the duke's arm again.
"Then... shall I continue to bother you?"
"It's alright, don't bother me...Besides, I'm not too interested in mixing drinks. Take me to the room behind the tapestry."
"Okay, please come this way."
Following Jacob into the private room that was obviously well soundproofed, Leon put his left fingertips against the black goat's forehead, pretended to touch himself with his right hand, and then said with surprise:
"Huh? Where's my wallet? Why is my wallet gone?"
? ! ? !
