The Secret Master

"OK." Hearing Dunn's proposal, Leonard replied with a relaxed expression. Next, he and Klein and others walked out of the warehouse and approached the area where the monster Bib had "self-destructed", using that point as the center, and searched outward in circles. "Captain, what exactly are we looking for?" Klein looked at the scattered rotten flesh and managed to suppress the urge to feel sick, looking at Dunn Smith beside him with confusion. Dunn didn't raise his head and continued to scan the ground with his deep grey eyes: "Awakening earlier, losing control, turning into a monster, means that Rael Bib did not fully absorb the extraordinary power provided by the notes. This also indicates that a certain part of his body will accumulate extraordinary power and become a higher-quality material." "If you encounter something similar in the future, don't miss it. That might be a very important 'item'." So, huh... Klein nodded slightly with a clear understanding. In an instant, he thought of another thing: If the part where the monster Bib accumulated extraordinary power was some place that couldn't be described, wouldn't that be very embarrassing... Using it to mix potions in the future would be extremely disgusting... Just as Klein's thoughts were wandering, the sharp-eyed Borgia suddenly spoke: "We found it, cough." Dunn and El immediately turned around and approached, and Klein, driven by curiosity, also hurriedly headed towards Borgia. Soon, he saw what was in front of Borgia, a gray-white mass the size of a fist, with grooves all over its surface, overall soft and textured, as if it were a living brain taken out. Although Klein couldn't immediately see the extraordinary power of this "gray-white" mass, just from the fact that he could remain intact in a violent explosion, he was certain that Borgia hadn't missed the item. Dunn carefully examined it, crouched down, and while flexing his right arm, used his black-gloved left hand to carefully pick up the gray-white mass. As soon as it was touched, the "gray-white" immediately spread outwards, turning into a continuous, sticky liquid. At that moment, El Hasan took out a tin-colored square box from his pocket and took out one cigarette at a time, putting them in his pocket. Then, he handed the square iron box to Dunn, smiling: "I know, you only like pipes." Dunn "harrumphed" and took the square iron box, carefully "sucked" the gray-white, sticky liquid into it, temporarily storing it. After putting away this item, he and Lorcata and others roughly searched the scene again. After confirming there were no major omissions, they left and came outside, seeing the horses frantically digging in the ground, almost breaking free from the ropes. "I can drive," Borgia pressed his lips together and coughed lightly. "I know, you're good at calming animals," El smiled and nodded. On the horse, Dunn, Lorcata, El Hasan, and Klein remained in a brief silence, lost in thought. When the hooves of the horses began to pound and the wheels rolled, Dunn looked at Klein and deliberated before speaking: "I know, you must be very curious about the Antigonus family's notes and want to figure out what happened in the past." No, not at all... Klein subconsciously denied in his heart. That was an ancient item filled with misfortune! Without giving him time to reply, Dunn continued on his own: "However, I must first inform the Sanctuary about this matter. Once they confirm the confidentiality level of the notes, we can consider whether to let you view it." "No problem," Klein replied briefly. Dunn flexed his arms, thought for a moment, and said: "I once promised that once it was confirmed that Rael Bib was a descendant of the Antigonus family, you would become a full member of the night watch. Now, not only have we confirmed Rael Bib's identity, but we have also eliminated this monster and thwarted the conspiracy of the Priory." "During this process, you performed extremely well and personally killed a member of the evil organization. Therefore, I will fulfill my promise and immediately apply to the Sanctuary, awaiting their approval." "By the way, I forgot an important thing. I haven't asked if you are willing." "Mr. Klein Moretti, are you willing to officially join the Tingen City Night Watch team and become one of us? Your salary will be doubled immediately, reaching the level of £6 per week, and there will be a certain degree of increase each year in the future." "Your salary will be covered by both the Church and the Ahova County Police Department equally. You will also obtain the status of an apprentice inspector, which will be very useful at certain times." "As an auxiliary exceptionalist, you don't always have to face enemies, but you need to take turns guarding the Charnis Gate every week..." "Without the approval of the team, you cannot leave Tingen under any pretext and try to keep it a secret from your family..." ... When Dunn finished talking about restrictions and benefits, Klein thought for about ten seconds before saying: "I hope to become a formal night watchman." Only in this way can I have more access to the secrets, such as the situation of the Secret Society! -- After reading the previously collected Rosell diary, Klein improved his own ideas: mastering esoteric knowledge and finding a way home were his unchanging pursuits, while further enhancing his own power to more safely pry into the mysterious space above the gray fog and thereby use it to return to his homeland were a new added goal. Just as Emperor Rosell said, relying solely on external forces is very dangerous! Moreover, becoming a "diviner" and obtaining extraordinary power, Klein also noticed that he had a deeper understanding of that mysterious space. For example, he could bring another member to join the gathering. This forced him to think that when he became an extraordinary person of sequence 8, sequence 7, or even higher, would there be more favorable changes in the mysterious space above the gray fog. Of course, Klein was very clear that the prerequisite was that he first completely solved the hidden danger of the "diviner" potion. He couldn't be hasty or rash. "Good, when the Sanctuary gives the approval, you will be one of us," Dunn's grey eyes showed a hint of smile. Just then, El Hassen, who had been listening in silence, interrupted and said: "Klein, call me Klein, your performance today was truly outstanding. You were able to kill an extraordinary member of the Secret Society. And I suspect he reached sequence 7. How did you do it? I simply can't believe it." This question indeed came... Klein had prepared in advance to organize his words. He knew that killing an extraordinary person who could interact with Dunn, El, and Loretta at the same time was truly incredible and full of mysteries. El and his team, as long as their eyes weren't blind and their heads weren't stupid, would eventually ask about the process, but he didn't expect that they actually waited until now to speak. It's true, the captain and Mr. Hassen had been injured before, and the situation could deteriorate at any time. At this time, any matter that could intensify the conflict must be suppressed first, to avoid being reckless due to the "secret" being exposed... When he expressed his attitude and was willing to officially join the night watchmen, they finally let go of their concerns and asked... They were all "old hands", obviously there was no communication between each other, but they made the same decision in a tacit way... Klein thought to himself and said: "This is a very fortunate thing. The little man in the tailcoat made a fatal judgment error." "At that time, the sealing object '2-049' was thrown to me by the shock wave of the explosion, and it was about a meter away from me. Just a rough observation, it was easy to conclude that I was within the influence range of the sealing object." "At that time, I was affected by the explosion, my head was dizzy, and my movements were slow, looking exactly like being controlled." "The little man in the tailcoat disappeared and came near me at some unknown time, using to rescue me and give me the 'diviner' potion corresponding to sequence 8 'clown' to lure me, asking me to help get the notes of the Antigonus family. Yes, he said the Secret Society had the 'diviner' potion corresponding to the sequence path, and that he himself had once been a 'diviner'." ... Klein recounted the situation at that time in detail, even describing his inner reasoning in a systematic way, including the incident where he believed that the tailcoat clown's divination indicated a high risk of taking away the notes, thus changing the strategy. Of course, all the true facts were used to cover up the first lie, to hide the fact that he had been controlled by the sealed object "2-049". "Divination indicates a high risk of taking away the notes? Yes, there is indeed a high risk, but this risk actually lies with you." The blonde lady Lorrata covered her mouth and smiled slightly, "His divination was correct, but it actually led him into a fatal danger. This is truly an interesting thing." Klein was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Indeed, divination is never overly clear, and ambiguity means the interpretation may be wrong." Well, I must pay attention to this! "Then, how did you deal with him?" Dunn stretched out his arm and leaned back. Klein smiled and said: "I pretended to agree with him and asked him to wake me up, but he was afraid to enter the influence range of the sealed object, about two or three meters away, using strange pieces of paper to try to push me." "Taking advantage of this opportunity, I grabbed the piece of paper and pulled him towards the influence range of '2-049', and coordinated with continuous shooting to achieve the goal. Ha, this is something that makes me ashamed. At that time, I actually didn't have the confidence to hit him within two or three meters." El gently nodded: "Given his evasion ability, two or three meters is not an absolutely safe distance. You might be able to hit him, but you can't hit the vital spot. Then the matter becomes troublesome... Your choice was not at all wrong, and it can even be called excellent. If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily do better than you." He didn't ask about the subsequent events because the outcome of the tailcoat clown, who was under the control of the sealed object "2-049", was already predetermined. It was just a live target. "The 'Diviner's' sequel is the 'Clown'... How strange... " Dunn suddenly exclaimed beside him.
