Chapter 367: Loan Bag
“Director!”
After returning to the cleanup bureau with the wallet he didn't know where it came from, Leon immediately knocked on the door of the director's office and said seriously: "There is indeed a problem over there at Pink Mystery! Director Aquarius should be over there. What kind of backhand was arranged! And if I guess correctly, the wallet you asked me to investigate should have been taken away by the first-level cleaner named Nicole!"
ah? What did you say?
After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired director who was fiddling with an empty wallet paused for a moment, then said with astonishment in his eyes:
"Did you really find out something? No...I mean, are you really sure?"
"pretty close."
After recalling the information about [The List of Evil], Leon talked about what he saw and heard, and then summed up solemnly: "It's not completely certain yet, but when Senior Jerry comes back, if Even if he couldn't find the wallet, it was basically certain.
After all, the [Secret Tail] in the hands of the female reporter can just eliminate the smell of items. I think she is very suspicious... By the way, Director, what is in the wallet? "
"..."
In that wallet is the salary I just received...but it doesn't matter now!
After listening to Leon tell what he had seen, the red-haired director's fox eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he faintly noticed something was not quite right.
Although I did drink too much, it was really inappropriate to forget my wallet. It might have been affected by some special anomaly. In addition, because I had just boasted in front of Leon during the day, I didn't plan to drink too much at night.
But the Pink Mystery happened to have a batch of new wine that suited my taste, so I lost control in the end. I took a few too many sips and lost my wallet. Jerry, the only one who was able to find his wallet right away, because of Merry There is an emergency mission in North County, and I am not in the bureau now...
The smell of conspiracy is very strong...
After circling the tail of his hair twice with his fingers, the red-haired director responded vaguely, frowning as he pondered the real target of the "enemy."
As for the direct target, it seems to be to steal your wallet?
But they really only have money in their wallets, which is not worth their efforts. Therefore, their real purpose is probably the subsequent impact of "they have no money."
Considering that there is a [Gate to the Other World] over Aquarius that can briefly peek into the future, then they must have seen that they did something after they ran out of money, which made them feel that they had an opportunity!
So what will you do when you have no money? Ask Emma to borrow money like yesterday? Borrow money using the [Loan Interest Bag] like today? Or go to the tavern you used to go to and get credit?
It’s strange, these things are very common. Which one will expose your flaws? How about... try to do it all once?
……
The red-haired director, who had a headache from thinking about it, began to fiddle with the empty wallet in his hand unconsciously, clicking and pulling out the buttons of the wallet.
Leon, who noticed her movements, raised his eyebrows slightly and thought of the wallet that was suddenly delivered to him. Then he reached out and tapped the cufflinks and took out the bulging wallet.
"By the way, in addition to the [Evil List], I also encountered another thing that may be related to abnormal objects."
Putting his wallet on the table and briefly talking about the origin of the magic, Leon said with some worry: "You know how bad my luck is. This kind of good thing like money falling from the sky is unlikely to happen in this world." on me, so I thought... hmm? "
"You'll know just by touching it."
After throwing the empty wallet in his hand to Leon, the red-haired director calmly opened a certain little golden retriever's wallet, took out five gold wheels, put them into his pocket, and then returned the wallet. return.
"When your salary is paid next month, I will give you ten more gold wheels. Remember to help me return the money to others when the time comes!"
? ? ?
No...what is this all about? Why didn't I understand?
The confused Leon frowned, and then followed the red-haired director's words and reached out to touch the empty wallet in his hand. "Zi..."
[Name: Lending Bag (Wealth)]
[Appearance: An extremely old-style men's leather wallet. The once tough hard leather bottom has been completely worn away. You can even insert your fingers into the wallet through the hole at the bottom.]
[Ability: Windfall]
[Price: After using this abnormal object to obtain a windfall, you need to return double the amount to the owner]
[Archives: This is a genuine antique anomaly. It comes from the original country of Ambra. It has a long history of more than five hundred years. After being acquired by the fourth director of the Virgin Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, it has been stored in the warehouse of the Virgin Branch. among.
Four years ago, because she had spent all her salary and had no money to buy alcohol, Olivia, who was the director of the Maiden Branch at the time, found this abnormal object in the warehouse that had not been used for a long time, and then used it to make small "loans" ".
In four years, she used this anomaly a total of forty-nine times, borrowed one thousand and twenty-three gold wheels, found twenty-five wallets, dug out four secret vaults containing personal property, and redeemed the winnings. Fifteen lottery tickets...]
[Evaluation: A seriously underestimated anomaly. Rather than paying back double the amount every time you borrow money, its real use should be to directly "borrow" a large sum at a critical moment and then never pay it back again]
[Dip value: 2.3]
"..."
So... the wallet I "handed over" just now was actually "borrowed" by you using this thing? No wonder the process is so outrageous!
After reading the description of [Loan Loan Bag], Leon couldn’t help but smacked his lips, and then complained with a speechless face:
"There is such a weird anomaly... Also, if you use this, you will have to pay double the amount!
Instead of borrowing money from it, wouldn't it be better to find a bank to borrow money? My year's salary It’s only over six hundred gold wheels, and the interest you pay after borrowing money with this thing is already enough for my two years’ salary!”
"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed better to go to a bank."
The red-haired director spread his hands and said:
"But I'm too slow to repay the money. Several big banks in the capital have blocked me. The remaining ones who are willing to lend me money don't want me to repay the money, but want me to return the favor, so I might as well Just use this to borrow money, right?"
"..."
What the hell! Your salary is so high, if you just control yourself and take a few sips, will you be short of money?
“Oh, when people have money but don’t have enough money, it’s just for emergencies~”
After looking at Leon with a stinking face, the red-haired director who successfully "borrowed" five golden wheels sat up straight and changed the subject with a serious face: "In addition, if my guess is correct, Within a week at most, something bad will definitely happen, so you must be more careful recently.”
"Huh? Why?"
"Because of the time Jerry comes back."
The red-haired director squinted his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table and said: "If you hadn't accidentally broken it, Jerry would have started to help me find my lost wallet when he came back in a week. I detected the smell of the wallet, which made me wary of this matter.
So conversely, if they want to do something and don't want to alarm me, they have to do it within a week, so I guess that something will definitely happen in the week before Jerry comes back! "
