Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 66 Decoy
"...This is the case in general cases. The war department will take away some valuable things."

Wei En squinted, "Then what is an unusual case?"

"The cases specified above, such as the ones Lacey showed you before, are quite special."

Marco picked out some large pieces of meat from the pile of garbage, and said excitedly: "Look, look, and see what I found."

"What? So disgusting?"

Wei En looked suspiciously at the lump of unknown tissue, which was wrapped in yellow-brown pus.

"The flesh and blood of the mutant species, the missing spoils of war department."

Marko enthusiastically introduced: "All the deformed species are almost filled with pollution power, and the flesh and blood become deformed and extremely polluting."

"But not all flesh and blood that contains the power of pollution is valuable, only some - like this one."

He wore pollution-proof gloves on his hands, peeled off the pus outside, and revealed a dull and lifeless eye inside, "The eye is the most valuable part of most mutant species, and it can be sold for at least 2 gold pounds."

"2 gold pounds?" Wei En's gaze was attracted by that eye, "So, our income is okay this time?"

Marco looked at him helplessly, he really only cares about money, right?

"It should be possible for you to pay back the money you owe me."

"Alright."

At least it's much better than splitting 1 gold pound between two people.

"Brother Marco, there is a question that I don't quite understand."

Wei En looked at the clean textile workshop and asked, "Why did the Secret Investigation Department separate the investigation department and the combat department? In fact, this division is equivalent to an extra step."

According to his understanding, the Combat Department and the Investigation Department can be merged.

In this way, the security of the team can be greatly improved by simply dividing the fighters of the Secret Investigation Department into different groups.

Just like the mission in the slums last time, if there were high-end combat forces in their team that could fight against Claire, they might have been able to take her down at that time.

There will be no more things like this morning.

Marco froze for a moment, "Well, I really didn't expect you to ask this question."

"What's wrong? Is it weird?"

"That's not true," Marco scratched his head, and said, "Actually, that's how the former secret investigation department was divided, and everyone was divided according to the principle of balance of strength. But,"

"Some things happened later, and the superhumans with powerful combat power were divided out, and a war department was established to target all kinds of abnormal species and evil superhumans."

"What exactly is it?"

Wei En looked at him suspiciously, not to mention the advantages of team fighting, just from the efficiency of investigation, it is obvious that the efficiency of balanced allocation is higher.

"Actually, the reason is very simple,"

Marco lowered his head slightly, "If I say, the existence of us investigators is to buy time for the people in the war department, and it is the bait thrown out..."

"Do you want to quit the Secret Investigation Department?"

"meeting."

Wayne answered very simply.

Ok?
and many more,

"Brother Marco... Couldn't that be the reason for the division?"

From the perspective of bait, it really makes sense.

To put it mildly, the duty of these investigators is to investigate the scene and gather intelligence.

But looking at it from another angle, it is really dangerous to go first.

If you can escape and report the case, it means that the other party is not strong enough, and then the people from the combat department will come up...

Wow, the more I think about it, the more I feel like this!
"um, yes."

Marko directly admitted, "Since the previous director, and most of the combat power sacrificed, the Department of Secret Investigations has re-divided departments."

"Prominent intelligence first, let our investigation department stand in front, and when we encounter difficulties that are difficult to solve, the war department will take action to suppress it."

"Not only that, Sili has also strengthened the connection with other extraordinary organizations and churches. When encountering special circumstances, he will join forces with all parties to solve it."

Wei En thought of what Lacey said before, "Is it the time when the taboo got out of control?"

"Yes, that's the one," Marco sighed, "Since then, the personnel in our logistics department have changed more frequently."

"Then, no wonder."

Only now did Wayne understand why the interview was so childish.

It turned out that it wasn't that the investigation department was unprofessional, but that Yegor and the others didn't have much hope for him to survive.

Or not only for him, but for all the newly joined investigators...

"But you can rest assured now. You have gone through two missions, and one of them has won a second-level reward. You have been approved by the department."

Marco saw his thoughts and comforted: "Next, Yegor and Lacey will pay more attention to you and strengthen your training."

"For example, arrange more tasks for me?" Wei En said quietly.

Marco laughed dryly, "Well, it may be a training task or something."

In fact, he doesn't really know much about it, and his mind is on the city that never sleeps. How can he have time to pay attention to the training of newcomers in the logistics department?

Wei En nodded his head, which was to expose the question.

After a quick search, the two of them took the loot (trash) to the recycling station and exchanged it for 1 gold pound, and returned to the Secret Department with the deformed flesh and blood.

On the way, Wei En did not worry about the logistics department's concealment.

First, for a long time, he needed more money in exchange for wizard knowledge to improve his strength.

At the same time, he also needs information from the Secret Investigation Department to complete the task of the intelligence officer of the Ghost School.

Secondly, even if he encounters a dangerous case, as long as he is not killed directly, he can still get generous rewards through the panel.

This forms a very wonderful closed loop, doesn't it?
Therefore, Wayne decided to maintain the status quo for the time being.

Well, that won't change, at least until the rank of wizard.

……

……

"Sir Lacey, we are back."

Lacey leaned on the high-backed chair, crossed her legs to reveal her plump thighs, and asked lazily, "How about it, are the guys in the combat department honest?"

Marco pushed open the office door and said with a smile: "This time the harvest is not bad. Look, they still left an eye for us."

Um? ?

not bad?
Wei En watched him speak nonsense with his eyes open, and opened his mouth to expose the truth...

"Brother Santiago, you bastard!"

Lacey's face turned down, "A second-level deformity, with such a little thing left, he is really going too far."

Marco shrugged, "You also know that he is in charge of this case, and that guy did this to force you to submit to him."

Santiago?

Is it the person you met in the property management department when you first joined the company?
Mental shock...

Wayne glared at Marco, he really knows how to talk nonsense with such little gain in any ordinary case...
