"Why?" Hearing Dunn's words, Klein's heart suddenly set off a storm, and he instinctively blurted out.

Is there a serious hidden danger for the extraordinary? Even the inquisitive organs within the church, the extraordinaries who deal with evil events, are prone to problems?

Dunn Smith stepped into the carriage and sat down in his previous position, his expression and tone remained the same:

"It's not something you need to know, and it's not something you can understand unless you become one of us. ”

Crane was dumbfounded, sat down, and asked, half-amused, half-puzzled:

"If you don't figure this out, how can you make the decision to join?"

If you don't join, you can't understand, and it's an endless loop......

Dunn Smith took out his pipe again, put it on his nose and took a puff:

"You're probably mistaken, one of our members includes civilians. ”

"In other words, as long as you become your civilian, you can learn the relevant secrets, figure out the hidden dangers and possible dangers of the extraordinary, and then consider whether to become an extraordinary?" Klein redescribed the meaning of the other party in his own words as he gathered his thoughts.

Dunn smiled and said:

Well, except that you don't think about being extraordinary just because you want to be extraordinary, the churches are equally strict in that regard. ”

It's strange if it's not strict...... Klein sneered, gesturing in a strengthened tone:

"What about the civilian staff? This should be strict, right?"

"If it's you, it shouldn't be a problem. Dunn's eyes were half-closed, and he sniffed his pipe slightly, but he didn't light it.

"Why?" Klein wondered again.

At the same time, he teased himself in his heart:

Could it be that my special, my aura of a traverser, is like a firefly in the night, so distinct, so outstanding?

Dunn opened his half-closed eyes, and his gray eyes were as dark as before:

"First, to be able to survive this kind of event without our help shows that you have advantages that are different from other people, for example, lucky, and lucky people are always popular. ”

Seeing Klein's somewhat sluggish expression, he smiled slightly:

"Well, you can take it as a humorous statement, and secondly, you are a graduate of the history department of Hoy University, which is what we need very much, and although the attitude of the believers of the Lord of the Storm is disgusting, his views on society, humanities, economics and politics are still sharp, and he said that talent is the key factor to maintaining a competitive advantage and good development, and I agree with that. ”

Finding that Klein frowned slightly, he casually explained:

"As you can imagine, we would have regular contact with documents and objects from the Quaternary and earlier, and many cults and heretics tried to derive power from these things, and sometimes they themselves led to strange and terrible things. ”

"Except for those who are extraordinary in special fields, most of us are not good at learning, or we are past that age. At this point, Dunn Smith pointed to his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly as if he was laughing at himself, "Those boring and boring knowledge always make people want to sleep, even the sleepless, they can't resist." In the past, we would work with historians and archaeologists, but there was a risk of leakage and bad things for professors, associate professors, and gentlemen, so it was hard to refuse a professional to join us and become one of them. ”

Klein nodded slightly, accepted Dunn's statement, and asked thoughtlessly:

"Then why didn't you develop one directly, um, before?"

Dunn continued to his own heart:

"That's the third, and last, most important point, that you've been exposed to similar incidents, and that you don't have a problem with violating the terms of confidentiality, and that if you don't, I'll take responsibility for the secret leak. The vast majority of our team members, our clerical staff, come from within the church. ”

After listening quietly, Klein was curious:

"Why do you keep it so secret? Isn't it possible to make the same mistake happen again by making a lot of things public, circulating them, and letting more people know? The greatest fear comes from the unknown, and we can make the unknown known. ”

"No, human stupidity is beyond your imagination, and it will lead to more imitation, greater confusion and more serious incidents. Dunn Smith replied by shaking his head.

Klein let out an "um" and said:

"The only lesson that humanity has learned from history is that humanity has learned nothing from history and keeps repeating the same tragedy. ”

This famous quote of Emperor Russell is indeed full of philosophy. Dunn agreed.

...... What Russell the Great said, the predecessors of the traverser are really 360 degrees without dead ends, and do not leave a chance for the latecomers...... Klein didn't know how to answer for a while.

Dunn turned his head to look outside the carriage, the dimness of the streetlights blending into the glow of civilization.

“...... There is a similar phrase in the inquisitions of the major churches, which may be the main reason for the strict secrecy and the prohibition of ordinary people from knowing. ”

"What is it?" Klein perked up, feeling the thrill of snooping into the secrets.

Dunn turned his head back, and the muscles of his face tugged slightly:

"Belief and fear bring trouble, and more belief and fear bring more trouble until all is destroyed. ”

After saying this, he sighed and said:

"And apart from praying for the protection and help of the gods, humans cannot solve the real big problems. ”

"Belief and fear bring trouble, more belief and fear bring more trouble......" Klein silently recited this sentence, not too incomprehensible, and then frightened by the unknown feeling that he did not understand too much, as if in the shadow of the street lamp outside, in the darkness without light, there were a pair of eyes full of malice and open mouths.

With horses' hooves agile, wheels rolling, and Iron Cross in sight, Dunn broke the sudden silence and formally invited:

"Are you going to join us as a civilian?"

Klein's thoughts came to him, and he couldn't make a decision for a while, and thought for a while:

"Can I think about it?"

The stakes are too high to be hasty and reckless.

"No problem, just give me an answer by Sunday. Dunn nodded, "Of course, remember to keep it secret, you can't tell anyone about Welch-related events, including your brother and sister, once you break it, not only will it cause them trouble, but it may also lead you to a special court." ”

"Good. Klein replied solemnly.

The carriage was silent again.

Seeing that Iron Cross Street was approaching and he was about to get home, Klein suddenly thought of a question, hesitated for a few seconds and asked:

"Mr. Smith, what about your civilian salaries and packages?"

This is a serious question......

Dunn was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Don't worry about this, our funding is guaranteed by the church and the police, and the weekly salary of the newly entered civilian is 2 pounds and 10 soles, plus a secrecy and risk allowance of 10 soles, which is a total of 3 pounds, which is not much worse than a formal university lecturer. ”

After that, as you get more seniority and the credit you get for it, your salary will gradually increase. ”

"For civil servants, we generally have a five-year contract, and if you don't want to do it after five years, you can leave your job normally, but you have to sign a lifetime confidentiality clause, and you can't leave Tingen without our approval, and you need to register with the local night watchman as soon as you move to another city. ”

"By the way, there are no Sundays, you have to take turns off, you have to keep three civilians working at all times, and if you want to go to the south, to go to Didsey Bay for a holiday, you need to coordinate with your colleagues. ”

Dunn had just finished speaking, when the carriage stopped, and the apartment where the Crane family lived appeared on the side.

"I see. Crane turned and stepped out of the carriage and stopped beside him, "By the way, Mr. Smith, where should I go if I think about it?"

Dunn smiled in a low voice:

"Go to the 'Hound Tavern' on Beswick Street and find their boss, Wright, and tell you to ask the mercenary team to do the mission. ”

"Huh?" Crane was confused.

"Our address is also confidential, and it is impossible to tell you directly until you say yes, well, Mr. Klein Moretti, I wish you a good night's sleep. Dunn smiled and greeted.

Klein took off his hat and saluted, and watched the carriage depart as it slowed to fast.

He took out his pocket watch, clicked it open, and saw that it was just over four o'clock in the morning, and the cool breeze on the street was cool, and the street lights were dim.

Klein took a deep breath and felt the dead of night around him.

The noisiest and noisy neighborhood during the day is so deserted and quiet in the middle of the night, in contrast to the silent gaze and psychedelic hallucination of Welch's dwelling.

It was only at this time that he realized that the back of his linen shirt was full of sweat at some point, cold and wet.
