Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"However... I never thought that you can be famous even if you fight well... It's really amazing, but is this job a little too dangerous? You usually encounter a lot of dangerous situations, right?"

As soon as the topic changed, Dorothy stopped embarrassing Greg, but continued to speak with a concerned tone.

"Haha, there will indeed be some troublesome problems, but that's not a problem, don't worry Dorothy, your brother is like a fish in water in this line of work."

Greg responded with a haha, and Dorothy nodded in response.

"That's it... Even so, you need to remember that your safety comes first."

"It's okay, I have my own measure."

……

The carriage that Dorothy and Greg took traveled all the way, and soon arrived at the destination, a small apartment downstairs.

This apartment building has six floors and is not too high. The exterior walls are paved with red bricks, and the windows are framed in white. Each floor has a small balcony, some with plants and some with clothes to dry, and a flower pond in front of the ground floor. The ivy-like plants in the flower pond climbed high on the red wall, adding a touch of greenery to the building.

The apartment is located next to a secluded street with relatively few pedestrians. There are tall street trees along the street. The overall environment can be considered quiet and it is a good place to live.

"It's not bad. Nanyang Flower Road is a good location. You can walk north to Hebin Park, and then north and east to church. It's very convenient for walking or praying, but it's far away from the commercial street. , Sometimes it’s not easy to buy things.”

Standing downstairs in the apartment, Greg proudly introduced to Dorothy, and Dorothy looked around with a hint of surprise and curiosity.

"It's amazing. The apartments in this kind of place are not for ordinary people, are they? Brother, is your salary okay?"

"Of course it's no problem. I'm still thinking about buying a detached house in the suburbs when I have enough money. Okay, come up quickly. Our house is on the fifth floor."

Helping Dorothy lift the suitcase, Greg entered the apartment through the stone road in the flower pond. Dorothy followed Greg all the way to her suite on the fifth floor. After Greg opened the door, she came into the apartment. What Dorothy saw was a spacious and bright living room.

To be honest, although there are modern people’s insights, the environment of Greg’s rented apartment exceeded Dorothy’s expectations. There is a large living room with two bedrooms, as well as a dedicated bathroom, kitchen, balcony, laundry room, and interior furnishings. It is also quite good, with a sofa, a fireplace, a phonograph, and water and gas.

The lighting and ventilation of the room are good. Standing on the balcony, you can see the riverside park and the church spire in the distance. Compared with the airy cabin where Dorothy slept in the village before, it is a paradise.

"How about it, your brother, my eyesight is okay."

Looking at Dorothy, whose eyes were shining brightly in front of him, Greg said with his arms folded, and Dorothy nodded directly in response.

"It's really...beyond my expectations, thank you brother..."

"You're welcome, who said we are family members? When I have more money, I will bring Aunt Hannah's family too!"

Greg's tone was quite ambitious, and after Dorothy looked around, she saw the ashtray full of ashes on the coffee table in the living room.

"Gregor, do you smoke?"

Dorothy asked curiously. Greg was taken aback when he heard Dorothy's words, and then hurriedly said.

"No, that's not the case, it's just that occasionally when my colleagues come to my place, they will smoke some."

"Is that so..."

"Ahaha, the colleagues in the security company are mostly rough people. It's inevitable that you like tobacco. By the way, Dorothy, you are tired from the journey, so take a rest. I will take you to the grammar school to enroll in two days. It's time to start school but I think it's okay to get a class at your level, Dorothy."

"Well, just follow your arrangement."

Then, after putting away the salute, Dorothy got acquainted with the new home again, then went out with Greg to buy some necessary daily necessities, worked all the way until the evening, and then had a meal outside. After returning, Dorothy drove Malaudon took an early break for an excuse.

After entering her room, Dorothy locked the door directly, and then she didn't undress and go to bed as she said before, but put her suitcase on the table and opened it.

In that suitcase, apart from a few pieces of clothing, there were several boxes, a booklet, and a bottle soaked with pale fingers.

At this moment, the leader of the hunters of the Hidden Bureau of Igwent was still in his room not far away, and Dorothy had already taken out a bunch of contraband from secret sects.

Taking out the puppet ring from a box and putting it on, Dorothy opened another box, which contained the corpse of a large gecko.

This is one of Edric's experimental animals for the puppet ring. He put a bunch of various experimental corpses in his home, including those that can be manipulated and those that cannot be manipulated. Basically, those with a certain size can be manipulated. , when it reaches the size of an insect, it will not work.

Based on the experimental notes that Edric left at home, Dorothy selected several kinds of experimental corpses. The large ones were packed in trucks, and the small ones were brought over directly in suitcases.

Under the control of the puppet ring, the gecko in the box twitched twice, then started to move, climbed out of the box, and climbed out of the window along the table.

Under Dorothy's control, the gecko climbed along the outer wall of the apartment until it was outside the window of Dorothy's room and climbed towards the window of Greg's room.

"So, as a member of the Anyin Bureau, can you reveal to me some secrets about the mysterious world? Brother..."

In the dim room, Dorothy, who was sitting at the table, murmured in a low voice while carefully letting her corpse doll approach Greg's window.

No.17 Chapter Report

At night in Igwente, Nanyanghua Street, the moon hangs high and the night wind is bleak.

The cool evening wind blew the tall and lush street trees beside the street. At this time in the middle of the night, the windows on both sides of the street had been turned off, and only a few windows were still lit.

On the upper floor of the red-brick apartment building, a window was open. Greg was lying on the window sill of his room, smoking a cigarette while looking at the park in the distance. The wind blows away.

Greg, who had endured a daytime addiction to cigarettes, was taking this opportunity to enjoy the fun of tobacco at this time, but on the wall not far away, there was a hint of impatience in the eyes staring at him.

"You should smoke less, there are a few of these, don't die..."

In her own room, Dorothy, who was sitting at the table, was looking at Greg, who was smoking one after another, by the window through the vision of the gecko puppet. From the time she had just started monitoring Greg's window , he has been smoking without stopping at all, a few in a row, and seeing Dorothy is a little frightened.

"It seems that when I have a chance in the future, I can give him some science on the dangers of smoking..."

Dorothy thought silently like this, and then saw Greg finally smoked his last cigarette, and walked back to his room silently.

Seeing this situation, Dorothy quickly controlled the gecko puppet to climb to the window of the room, and observed the scene in the room from the top of the window. Dorothy was left behind by Greg’s keen perception in the Vulcan woods. She was so impressed that she didn't dare to control the gecko into the room.

In his own room, Greg sat down in front of his desk. After lighting the gas lamp in front of the desk, he opened a desk cabinet with a key, took out a small bag from it, and took out a bunch of written words from it. word report.

Facing the dense vocabulary on the report paper in front of him, Greg frowned, then scratched his head, took a breath, and began to check, from time to time, he still wrote something with the pen in his hand.

Greg looked a little impatient at this time, but the gecko outside the window had bright eyes, and Dorothy could directly see the content of the report on the table through the gecko's vision.

The corpse recovered by the puppet ring is not in essence the various "undead" that Dorothy has come into contact with in the game before, but a kind of "living corpse". His principle is to reactivate the spirituality of the "cup" The flesh and blood corpses that have not died for a long time are powered by spirituality to drive the corpses to move and maintain freshness as if they were alive.

Therefore, as long as the corpse puppet transforms in time, many organs on the corpse can function normally. Dorothy has experimented that if she has strong control, she can even control the corpse puppet to speak, because the tongue and other organs are kept fresh and intact.

In a sense, the corpse manipulated by the puppet ring is a walking corpse that feeds on the spirituality of the "cup". Compared with the orthodox undead in fantasy works and ghost films, it is more like a zombie infected by a virus in a zombie film.This is also in line with the nature of "cup".

It is precisely because of the nature of the puppet that Dorothy can borrow some of the super senses that belong to animals, such as the vision of geckos.

The gecko's vision is extremely sharp, especially in the dark. It can enlarge its pupils four times, greatly enhancing its vision, so strong that Dorothy can see clearly from a long distance. every word written on the document.

As a result, Dorothy peeked at the secret documents of the Security Bureau to her heart's content.

"About...the report of Abbott the Hunger, a member of the Scarlet Communion...it turns out that the contact person of the Sacrament in Vulcan is called Abbott. According to the report...the Security Bureau has raided His family found nothing but a few human bones, suspected that the key clues were destroyed, and the close personnel did not find out why, and this happened more than once... This must have been a leak..."

Peeping at the documents on the table in the distance, Dorothy thought of this, and she felt a little worried about the fact that the Red Communion had predicted the actions of the Security Bureau.

While thinking, Dorothy continued to peek at the documents on Greg’s desk, because Dorothy’s own reading speed was much faster than Greg’s, and Greg sometimes scratched his head when reading a report In the dictionary, Greg hadn't turned the page after Dorothy read a page. This inefficiency made Dorothy anxious.

"You still look like a civil servant. It's hopeless. I don't know how short the Anyin Bureau is to recruit you..."

Facing Greg's inefficiency, Dorothy couldn't help complaining, but she had no choice but to follow Greg's pace and wait for him to turn over slowly.

"The announcement of the cancellation of the captain's meeting... The fifth team can't return due to the mission... Is there so many hunter teams in Igwent? They are all the fifth team... And why did Greg have the cancellation notice of the captain's meeting... Could it be that he... ..."

As Greg turned the pages, looking at the note sandwiched between the pages, Dorothy couldn't help complaining that... She didn't believe that Greg could sit in a high position.

Greg continued to sort through the documents on the table, and Dorothy was also randomly peeking at various information. Due to the random peeping, many documents were blocked in one way or another, so the information she obtained was extremely Fragmentation makes it difficult to form meaningful content for a while.

Just when Dorothy was confused by all kinds of fragmented information, Greg's pen suddenly fell to the ground and rolled under the table. When Greg picked up the pen, Dorothy saw a page for a relatively complete report.

……

Regarding the fact that "Grey Hill" will hold another mysterious gathering, although he has been advised not to hold the gathering in the near future, "Grey Hill" is as stubborn as ever, and the persuasion is ineffective. Threats, Mr. James had to agree, but he has been asked to reduce the size of the rally.

As usual, we are not welcome to enter the gathering in "Ash Hill". The four teams are on standby nearby to deal with emergencies at any time, and the three teams are used as support.

This gathering involves the transaction of extraordinary items and materials, "Grey Hills" promised to record the information of all traded items to us, and we have the right to confiscate the dangerous items afterwards.

Due to the transactions involving extraordinary materials, people from the Crimson Sacrament will also participate, but it is difficult to determine their identities.

The meeting time is 27:[-] p.m. on April [-]th, and the venue is No. [-], Anshui Lane, Xiacheng District. Please be on standby in time.

……

"Extraordinary items and material transactions?"

After reading the document, Dorothy's eyes lit up, she couldn't help touching her chin and began to think about something.

If I want to accumulate spirituality now, the way is to eat some spiritual-rich materials, or directly absorb spiritual mystic knowledge.

Dorothy is now worrying about where to get materials and knowledge, this meeting will have a head!

Chapter 18 Preparation

In fact, these past few days, Dorothy has been wondering where to collect spirituality. The spirituality of the "cup" can be absorbed from flesh and blood, but this is not what she expected, and the "enlightenment" she wants to accumulate exists in knowledge. Among them, Dorothy has experimented in the color bookstore in Wokan Township, and the "revelation" contained in general knowledge is extremely limited. The "enlightenment" accumulated in the fragments of "Deconstruction" is simply incomparable, almost negligible.

Dorothy suspects that the "enlightenment" accumulated by herself after reading the books in the bookstore may have the two points contained in the fragments of "Deconstruction of the Eucharist". not realistic.

After this experiment, Dorothy also probably decided that in order to quickly accumulate the spirituality of "Enlightenment", she needs to obtain mysterious knowledge like the fragments of "The Deconstruction of the Eucharist". However, where should she find this knowledge? Aspect books have always been a problem.

Dorothy once dreamed that she could suddenly find a bookstore on a certain street that sold a large number of prohibited books. You only need a coin to buy a book to read, and Dorothy would definitely vacate it immediately.

But that was just a dream. In reality, Dorothy thought it was unlikely, but now there happened to be a secret meeting, so she could join in the fun and find some good things. If only she could find a few banned books.

While thinking about it, Dorothy looked at the calendar in front of the table, which showed that today's date is April No. 14, which means that tomorrow is the time for the rally, and she must get ready.

After making up her mind, Dorothy concentrated her energy on the peeping gecko puppet, hoping to see if she could continue to peek into more useful information.

Dorothy peeped at Greg again, when she suddenly noticed that Greg was arranging the papers on the desk, putting them away and putting them back in the bag.

'Ok?Is this over? '

Seeing the scene in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help thinking, but to her surprise, Greg didn't just turn off the lights and rest, but after looking left and right, he lay down on the ground, seeing Dorothy confused for a while.

Just when Dorothy was wondering, she saw Greg, who was lying down, pull out a few books with large covers from under the bed, and Dorothy's eyes lit up when she saw this.

'Oh oh... it's a book!Hidden so secretly, is it a confidential document of the Shi'an Hidden Bureau?Or some occult book? '

Seeing the book Greg pulled out, Dorothy's whole spirit was uplifted, and then she stared intently at Greg, watching him put the mysterious book on the table, and then slowly opened it.

Immediately afterwards, Dorothy's expression froze on her face.

The books on Greg’s desk didn’t contain any text, they were mostly pictures. The pictures on them were mature women with plump figures and scantily clad clothes. After Greg turned the page, the content behind it became more and more indescribable.

Greg read it seriously, while Dorothy, who was reading the same content as him, was sitting in her seat calmly, her face not blushing and her heart beating, quietly waiting for Greg to turn the page.

After reading a few pages, Dorothy shook her head in disappointment. After leaning on the chair and drinking a glass of water from the table, she sighed and said.

"That's it? I'm not strong, bro..."

To be honest, Dorothy felt that it was normal for a young man of Greg's age to hide some pornographic books at home, but it was limited by the level of the times. Forget it, the back and forth is just that tricky, which is really unremarkable, and it is far worse than the various "learning materials" in the Internet age.

In short, the things that Dorothy had watched before were much more exciting than Greg, so that the things that Greg watched with gusto now did not interest Dorothy.

Not wanting to disturb the good young man's late-night study time, Dorothy controlled the puppet gecko back to her room, put it in a box, put it back in the suitcase and locked it.

Then Dorothy put away her box of contraband, turned off the lights and went to bed, ending her first day in Eagle Winter.

……

The next morning, when Dorothy stepped into the sunny living room in her pajamas and rubbed her eyes, she saw Greg sitting on the sofa eating bread, with two plates of breakfast on the coffee table.

"Good morning Dorothy, come and have breakfast." Greg said hello to Dorothy, and Dorothy nodded in response.

"Good morning... did you do all this Greg?"

"Isn't it? It's Mrs. Harker's craftsmanship downstairs. I don't have time to cook when I'm usually busy, so I paid her some money and asked her to help take care of my meals... well, it's our two now. Food." After speaking, Greg finished the last fried egg of his breakfast, and then continued.

"Eat it yourself. I'm going to the company soon. I have a task today. In the past two days, you can go shopping around and play casually. I will take you to school the day after tomorrow. Remember to have fun."

While speaking, Greg took a piece of bread in his mouth, picked up his coat and walked towards the gate, while Dorothy sat on the sofa and watched Greg leave.

"Be careful all the way, I'll have fun..."

While talking, Dorothy picked up the newspaper from the sofa, and then began to enjoy her own breakfast while reading the newspaper.

After breakfast, Dorothy changed into her travel clothes, took a look at herself in front of the mirror, and then went out with a suitcase.

After going downstairs, Dorothy stopped a carriage and went up. Riding in the carriage, she began to turn east and west in the urban area. During this period, she changed several times until she came to a pier by the river bank.

Here, there are ships unloading and unloading, sailors yelling back and forth, goods piled up, and many large warehouses for storing goods.

On the last carriage, Dorothy took out of the suitcase a cloak with a hood bought at Vulcan, and she got out of the carriage after covering it.

Masked, Dorothy walked all the way on the pier full of fishy smell until a warehouse. After she showed a voucher to the manager, she got a key and a gas lamp, Dorothy Entering the warehouse, what caught the eye was rows of large warehouse compartments with locked iron doors.

This is the storage warehouse of the wharf. Many goods on the wharf that have been delayed due to various things can be stored here. As long as you pay enough money to the boss, you can keep it for as long as you want. Similarly, as long as you have enough money, the boss will not save anything. Don't care about you, let alone whoever saves it, fill in the type and level of the goods at will, and no one will be free to open the box for inspection.

In this era of lack of relevant management systems, money can do more things...

After getting the key, Dorothy walked towards the depths of the warehouse. After a few turns, she came to a warehouse compartment. After hitting the iron door with the key, a pile of wooden crates, large and small, were stored inside. Each box is locked.
