Chapter 25 Cat Searching Commission
After leaving the doctor's psychological clinic, the sun is setting outside. Seeing the sunset in the misty city, Shade walking on the road has the illusion of a different world.

I was an ordinary person half a day ago, but now I can light a piece of paper with my mind
"Actually, it's not much worse."

Thinking about it carefully, I have paid almost nothing, It seems a little too lucky to get everything now.

"But according to the doctor's advice, in addition to the compulsory credits obtained by study, you must complete the practical tasks of the Academy every academic year and obtain practical credits.

Life seems to be really on the right track, making it a little unreal to the out-of-towners who were thinking about receiving relief food yesterday. His plans can be further updated, and with strength, the work of the detective agency can continue.

Shade has planned to complete the three-month assignment of the former detective, of course, the premise is that he must complete at least one formal commission to see if he is suitable.

Walked home to save money, but had dinner at a restaurant to celebrate.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when I got home. After a little research on the doctor's notes, I learned that Mystic Art and incantation, in fact, the Academy has regular courses. But corresponding to spirit rune, everyone has different explorations, which can give birth to personal Mystic Art. It can be used in exchange, or you can just let yourself learn.

In this way, instead of studying Mystic Art on your own, it is better to wait until you have a textbook and learn some common Mystic Art first. But Shade was still curious and spent the night exploring spirit rune.

Thought affects matter, mind interferes with reality. As a result, before going to bed, the power of [Time and Space] could not be activated at all, and Shade could only make the fingertips emit silver light slightly. This is the Mystic Art of [Silver Moon] rune.

The rays of light were so peaceful, staring at it would make Shade feel at ease.

"It's useless, at least I can save some gas bills. Speaking of which, do I also need to pay for the water, gas and steam bills of this house?"

With such bad thoughts, he fell asleep in exhaustion.

The night sky outside the window was high in March, and the brightest phase of the silver moon had passed, but the silver moon still shone on him.

Although the doctor and the writer lady agree that the impact of the ring warlock's inauguration is not so easy to ignore, the detective will be in bed for about three days.

But Shade, who woke up at 6:30 in the morning on the second day, didn't feel any difference from yesterday.

He lay in bed for a while, thinking about the relationship between the world and life, and then was pulled by his embarrassing financial situation to a lower and more realistic level.

I then put my fingers in front of my face and saw the faint silver light on my fingertips. I stared at the rays of light for a long time, and finally let out a sigh of relief. My bad mood suddenly improved because of the thought of my shriveled wallet, and I didn't even think about the gas bill that I thought about before going to bed yesterday.

Woke up to take a shower, and waited for the newspaper and milk at the door just after seven o'clock. I didn't see the newspaper yesterday because I got up too early. In fact, I saw the Tobesque Morning News and the Kingdom Morning News on the mat when I got home last night.

Of course, from next month, you will have to pay for the newspaper yourself.

After drinking two bottles of milk, I put the empty bottle in the milk box at the door when I went out for breakfast. Although Dr. Schneider gave Shade a good rest for three days, Shade didn't feel any abnormality, believing that this was the powerful characteristic of the soul of a foreigner.

So, today I still plan to try the commission left by the former detective.

If the entrustment fails, he will only plan to pawn the detective's estate to repay the debt.

Mr. Lawrence's mistress is not going to intervene in the investigation for the time being. After three days, ask the doctor and the others about the pebble ring before making plans.

Among the remaining three tasks, finding Miss White's missing younger sister and inquiring about a doctor who can treat eye diseases are still somewhat difficult, so today's task is for Mia Sang. Miss Gothe searches for the lost orange cat.

Actually, the former Hamilton detective had already found the cat, but had not handed it over in order to leave Shade with a simple task. So Shade just needs to pick it up and return it to the client.

Having breakfast at a restaurant near St. Teresa Place, rolled up the newspaper in my arms, and walked east along Charlie's Avenue. Waited for a while at the next intersection, watching the crowd preparing for work in the mist of Monday morning.

I then turned left into the somewhat narrow purple iris alley, glanced at the wild grass in the corner because of the arrival of summer, and carefully avoided the barefoot children running wild in the alley. Stopped downstairs in the building where "Good Man Peter's Pet Store" hangs, according to the detective's notes.

I can already smell the fermented animal dung on my nose, but just as I was about to knock on the door, the door of the pet store actually opened by itself. A girl with long brown hair came out, looking very young, clutching a red lady's handbag.

I was stunned when I saw Shade, then politely nodded, bypassed Shade and walked east along Purple Iris Alley.

Shade's eyes followed her, watching the brunette merge into the crowd at the alley.

"She"

This is of course not love at first sight. The moment he saw each other, Shade suddenly had a strange feeling.

"It was as if at that moment, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and only a spotlight hit her. She was the protagonist of the stage."

"That was Supreme Sun. Cult people, youngster, you'd better not make any unnecessary ideas."

Then I noticed that in front of the pet store behind me, a middle age person with a big nose of wine lees was watching and turning around Shade.

The taste of fermented mixed food mixed with animal feces on the middle age person is more serious. He is wearing blue overalls, a coat that cannot be seen on his upper body, and his feet are stained with Muddy black boots.

"Is something wrong?"

The middle age person asked.

"Hello, I'm from the Hamilton Detective Agency. I'll pick you up. Please wait."

Shade took back the strange feeling he had just now and looked towards the former detective's notebook. 's note:
"An orange cat, about half a year old, with a pure white tail, an orange pattern on the left front leg, and pure white on the other legs. The name is Mia."

He described the characteristics of the orange cat, and the man in the door didn't expect a sudden change in expression.

"You don't want to tell me, that cat is lost, right?"

Shade is also complexion greatly changed, and asked in a low voice while holding down the door frame. The former detective had paid for the cat to be kept here, and the client, who was described as "a lady with a lot of money", offered £3s.

This bid is extremely unreasonable, but it also shows the anxiety of cat owners. For such a high payment, if it weren't for the "Good Man Peter's Pet Shop" being closed on weekends, Shade's first commission would never have been Mr. Lawrence's mistress.
