"This is... the [Six Scars] shop?"
Leticia, with her excellent eyesight, immediately spotted the shop with six scars hanging in the alley.
Leticia was not unfamiliar with [Six Scars].
It was one of the few well-known commercial Communities in the Box Garden Lower Layers, with branches in various Lower Layers districts.
When No Name hadn't been attacked yet, she often had tea with acquaintances at Six Scars shops.
Of course, as a commercial Community, [Six Scars] did not only operate restaurants.
[Six Scars] was involved in shops selling Gifts and potions, shops selling equipment, and even shops selling information.
As for what the shop in front of her did, Leticia wasn't too sure.
"I'm here."
Leading Leticia to the front of the [Six Scars] shop, Lin Que reached out and knocked twice on the door.
The next second, the shop door opened a crack, and the person inside peeked out, then suddenly spoke.
"Why is there an extra person?"
"You mean Leticia? She's my maid."
Lin Que replied with a smile, "Don't worry, the other party won't be angry."
"But... huh? You said her name is Leticia?"
The shop door was opened, and a cat-eared girl walked out.
Carefully examining Leticia beside her, she nodded with certainty: "It is indeed her."
"Lin Que?"
Leticia, standing nearby, was a bit confused: "What does this mean?"
"Nothing, this is an information shop of the [Six Scars] family."
Lin Que casually replied, "Besides selling information, they also provide secret rooms and guards at the door for people who can't meet directly to interact privately."
"Of course, the most taboo thing about such matters is being discovered, so it usually requires advance booking."
"When an extra person suddenly appears, she naturally has to confirm their identity to prevent the other client from being dissatisfied."
Leticia understood Lin Que's meaning: "So I'm qualified?"
"I, as an intelligence agent, have heard of Lady Leticia's deeds."
The cat-eared girl replied simply and clearly, "Since it's you, of course, we have to give face."
Of course, more importantly, what Lin Que said was true.
Let alone bringing one extra person, even if he brought ten more, the other client wouldn't have any objections.
Her initial intention to stop them was merely to increase her performance and make Lin Que pay more.
"Please follow me."
The cat-eared girl turned and walked into the shop, leading the two into an underground passage.
After several twists and turns, they arrived at a teleportation array and used it to reach the door of a dark room.
"The other guest has arrived. Please come in, both of you."
After speaking, the cat-eared girl took out a small notebook, made a checkmark on it, and took a pill from Lin Que's hand, swallowing it under his gaze.
"Alright, you can go."
"I hope you are satisfied with this service."
The cat-eared girl bowed and then turned to leave.
Leticia: "?"
Although she had lived for a very long time, most of her time was spent in combat and slumber.
Such clandestine operations were usually handled by others in the past.
This was her first time experiencing it up close.
Therefore, she completely failed to understand Lin Que's and the cat-eared girl's actions.
Watching the cat-eared girl disappear through the teleportation array, Leticia looked at Lin Que with a bewildered expression.
"What was that pill she just took?"
"[Soul-Shattering Pill]."
Lin Que casually pulled out another one and tossed it to Leticia: "After taking this pill, the user will fall into a dazed state and lose several hours of memory from before and after taking it."
"By the way, because it can affect beings of the five-digit realm, this thing is quite expensive, so clients need to provide their own."
"For secrecy, then."
Leticia looked at Lin Que thoughtfully: "You haven't used this for anything strange, have you?"
Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "What are you talking about? Can you explain? I don't quite understand."
"Forget it, given your personality, it would be strange if you didn't use it."
Leticia gave up on pressing the matter and looked at the door in front of them.
"Speaking of which, who is this person you're secretly meeting? It couldn't be the wife of some large Community leader, could it?"
"Leticia, I think your thoughts are too filthy, and you need to be purified."
Lin Que pushed open the door and walked in: "Why would I need to hide when doing such things? I always do them openly, alright?"
"Then you should hide it, for everyone's good."
Leticia sighed and followed him in.
Her gaze swept around the room, and she looked at the black-robed figure in one of the rooms.
"You're finally here."
Ignoring the additional Leticia, the figure breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Que.
"I've done everything you asked me to do."
"Within the next month, Luos will definitely not discover that the Humanity's Final Trial of Perseus has been cleared."
"Well done."
Lin Que nodded in satisfaction, pulled out a small bottle, and tossed it over.
"The second thing I need you to do is to drop this into Luos's food the day before the auction."
"What is this?"
The black-robed man said nervously, "It's not poison or something, is it? Even if that guy is stupid, he'll definitely find out."
"Relax, that stuff is Seven Emotions and Six Desires Water. Its only effect is to amplify a person's emotions for a short period."
Lin Que smiled, "Due to its special efficacy, even a Four-Digit would have difficulty detecting that he's been affected."
"As for that good-for-nothing Luos, do you think he can discover that he's been tricked?"
"I understand."
The black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief, put away the bottle, "This is the second thing. Contact me after the auction. I'm leaving first."
Leticia: "..."
If she remembered correctly, Lin Que was only summoned to Hakoniwa half a month ago, wasn't he?
[Bewitching Pills], [Seven Emotions and Six Desires Water].
Where did a Hakoniwa newcomer get so many strange little gadgets?
