Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 1397
Instantly, Barton’s hair stood on end. Although he couldn’t be sure that he smelled blood, his spiritual perception told him that this was the smell of blood.
Vernal encountered some misfortune? Just like the archaeological team that I was in back then? No, there’s no blood on the envelope. How can it emit the smell of blood? After a brief, extreme fright, Barton stood up immediately.
As an ordinary person, he had only one reaction when facing such a situation.
That was to call the police!
As Barton took the envelope and left his seat, he suddenly remembered something.
There were clear rules of how to deal with such situations within the Loen Relic Search and Preservation Foundation. If a project were to produce a phenomenon that was terrifying or incomprehensible, employees were to immediately halt everything and report to the Compliance Department. They would be responsible for the follow-up.
Barton didn’t understand why he needed to go to the Compliance Department. From what he knew, this was a department that handled provisions and audit projections for any violations of the rules. It had nothing to do with handling unknown dangers.
However, the founder of the foundation, Miss Audrey Hall, didn’t make many changes during the internal auditing of the departments. She only added this one clause. Therefore, the higher-ups didn’t wish to argue with her over this.
And obviously I’d prefer to meet the head of security… Barton muttered as he walked out of his office, heading straight for the Compliance Department at the end of the corridor.
Knock! Knock! Knock! He tried his best to compose himself and knocked on the door three times in a gentlemanly manner.
“Come on in.” A voice without any uniqueness came from inside.
To be frank, Barton didn’t know much about his colleagues at the Compliance Department. He only knew that they were cold and heartless. They acted quickly and easily caught any parasites within the foundation who tried to cheat the foundation for funding.
Taking a deep breath, Barton turned the doorknob and pushed open the door.
In his mind, the Compliance Department likely worked in an abnormally dark environment. Everyone maintained their silence and exchanged a few words from time to time, deciding the fate of a project and its principal investigator. However, the first thing that entered his eyes was bright sunlight, colorful decorations, and an open and bright setting.
