Andrew's eyes froze immediately.

He even suspected for a moment that he had heard wrong.

The Tower of Mysteries and the Society of Truth have cooperated for so many years, because the annual rating list needs to be changed and updated, even if it is the information of the I-level file, it will still come and go.

Although there are only a few Level I's in total, and generally the changes will not be great, but there are precedents, so this is feasible.

What's more, he didn't even bother to pretend to hesitate this time, and put on the posture of a fat sheep who didn't intend to bargain. The Secret Ritual Tower had absolutely no reason to reject his deal.

The truth is, however, that he was rejected.

The young man opposite said clearly, "This file is not for sale."

But what made Andrew even more puzzled and angry was that just three seconds ago, the other party was still trying to bargain with him in the same tone as that old hooligan Joseph.

That is to say, this file can still be sold three seconds ago, but it cannot be sold after three seconds.

In this world, is there such a reason?

Andrew's face was dark, the other party must have intervened in these three seconds to change the young man's tone of voice.

And obviously, there is only one person who can directly give orders to Claude at such a time and make him obey without hesitation.

There was only the head of the intelligence department who asked for leave to go home and asked his disciple to take over the duties temporarily.

Abraham Joseph.

"call……"

Andrew took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Let Joseph talk to me."

Claude was not surprised that Andrew guessed the truth so quickly. After all, his change was indeed too abrupt, and it only made sense if Joseph ordered it.

but……

He glanced at the new message.

"I'm very sorry, the teacher has something urgent to deal with now, I'm afraid I can't talk to you."

Claude added: "If you have any questions, you can tell me directly, I will try my best to answer, uh...give a reasonable explanation."

"Oh?" Andrew leaned back and leaned on the sofa with cold eyes: "Then Claude, can you explain to me why this file can't be sold suddenly?"

Claude cleared his throat, and said very formally: "It's like this. It was my negligence just now. The confidentiality level of Level I file No. 113 has been adjusted from 'top secret' to 'sealed'."

"This level, even with your authority and special preferential treatment, can no longer be browsed. If I sell it to you, I will violate the regulations and will be severely punished."

"I am only temporarily taking over the job of the teacher to maintain the normal operation of the intelligence department. I am not very familiar with these matters. I am very sorry for such a mistake. Fortunately, this mistake was discovered before the transaction, and it did not continue to cause any harm. As for the consequences of other things, I really don't know."

"If you really need it, you can wait for the teacher to come back after handling the matter, and then talk to him in person, or you can directly report to the elders."

Claude moved out the universal excuse of "I'm just a temporary worker", saying that he can't help, and recommends that you go directly to the supervisor in charge.

Andrew's face became even uglier, but even if his teeth were itching with hatred now, there was nothing he could do.

Because if what Claude said now is the truth, the other side is acting according to the rules, which is reasonable.

But I don't know why... This attitude did not reduce his anger in the slightest, but instead made him very angry after a long absence, feeling that he was being played.

The biggest question now is why this file suddenly changed its confidentiality level.

Andrew smiled calmly and said, "Half a month, but within half a month, why did the level of secrecy increase? No matter what, this is still the same file, right? The object is still that bookstore, and the owner The good, evil, and purpose of the truth are still under investigation, what reason do you have for refusing to provide information to the Truth Society?"

"Or, you are also bewitched by the owner of the bookstore..."

Claude raised his forehead and interrupted: "Sorry——"

The veins on Andrew's forehead twitched violently, and he felt that he was about to have a psychological shadow on these two words. He stared at the communication device in his hand, and said word by word: "What's wrong?"

"Not a file."

"?"

"I mean, I need to explain to you that after detailed investigation and supplementation, file 113 has been separated into file 114 as a sub-file, and file 113 is now a purely regional file, while file 114 is a character file, Both are at the storage level."

"As for your other question, the elders have sent professional evaluation experts, and the results given are consistent with Mr. Joseph's judgment. They are indeed friendly and have no clear purpose, but it does not mean that there is no purpose, but from the known situation Looking at it, there is no bad orientation, so there is no need to go to war.”

After Claude finished speaking, he didn't forget to add: "These are not the main content of the file, but other information."

Andrew scolded in a cold voice: "It's ridiculous! At present, there is no bad orientation, is there? If this is the attitude of the Secret Ritual Tower, then I am very disappointed. Your proposal is really good. I need to have a meeting with your elders for a while. The three of you have a good chat..."

Claude heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said happily: "It's great that you can understand, I hope you can have a good chat with the elders."

Andrew choked, for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a yin and yang or a genuine agreement.

Seeing the silence on the other side, Claude asked again: "Do you have any questions?"

Andrew calmed down for a while, and was almost bypassed again. He said in a low voice with stern eyes: "These are not enough, why did you suddenly raise the confidentiality level? You still didn't say the same."

Claude said helplessly: "This matter is really out of my control. I don't know anything, and I am not qualified to change the confidentiality level. Didn't you decide to talk to the elders? I think it should be better than being here with me." Calls are more efficient."

Damn it, the master and the apprentice are equally smooth and cunning in the same vein.

After a long stalemate, Andrew almost gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will investigate this bookstore myself."

Claude's voice was very sincere: "That's great, I wish you a smooth operation! I heard that the owner of the bookstore is not only friendly, but also willing to help solve the problem. I hope you have a pleasant visit..."

"Crack!", the communicator turned off.

Andrew sat alone in the middle of the office for a while, watching the heavy rain that washed the window outside, reached out to open the red wine on the decanter on the table, poured a glass and shook it slowly, settling his emotions.

"Huh...in person? Let's forget about such angry words, the excess curiosity of those scholars of the 'Knowledge Only School' can be used here..."
