Chapter 15 Invitation

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

Does the extraordinary have serious hidden dangers? So that the judicial organs within the church, the extraordinary people who deal with evil and strange events, are also prone to problems?

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

"This is not something you need to understand, nor is it something you can understand unless you become one of us."

Klein was dumbfounded for a while, followed and sat down. He asked, half funny and half puzzled:

"How can we make a decision to join without clarifying this?"

If you don't join, you can't understand, and this becomes a dead cycle

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

"You may have misunderstood that one of our staff includes civil servants."

"That is to say, as long as you become a civil servant, you can understand the relevant secrets, find out the hidden dangers and possible dangers of the extraordinary, and then consider whether to become extraordinary?" Klein, while sorting out his thoughts, re-described the meaning of the other party in his own words.

Dunn smiled and said:

"Well, except for one thing, if you are not thinking about becoming an extraordinary person, you will certainly become one. In this respect, all major churches are equally strict."

It's strange not to be strict... Klein muttered and said with an emphatic gesture:

"What about the civilian staff? It should also be very strict, right?"

"If it is you, it should be no problem." Dunn half closed his eyes and sniffed at the pipe with a slightly relaxed expression, but did not light the tobacco.

"Why?" Klein was puzzled again.

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

Is my special, my traveler halo, like the firefly in the dark, so bright and so outstanding?

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

"First, you can survive without our help in this kind of event, which shows that you have different advantages from others. For example, lucky people are always popular."

Seeing Klein's dull expression, he smiled:

"Well, you should be a humorous statement. Second, you are a graduate of the history department of Hoy University. This is what we need very much. Although Luermi, the leader of the storm, has a disgusting attitude toward women, his views on society, humanity, the economy, and politics are still sharp. He said that talent is the key factor to maintaining competitive advantage and good development, which I very agree with."

Seeing Klein frowning slightly, he casually explained:

"You should be able to imagine that we will often contact Quaternary and even earlier documents and objects. Many cults and many heretics try to gain strength from these things, and sometimes they themselves will lead to strange and terrible things."

"Except for the extraordinary people in special fields, most of us are not good at learning, or we have passed that age." When it comes to this, Dunn Smith pointed to his head and said with a slight hook in his mouth, "That boring and boring knowledge always makes people want to sleep, even those who don't sleep can't resist it. In the past, we would find historians and archaeologists to cooperate, but this would have the risk of secret leakage, and may also bring bad experiences to professors and associate professors and gentlemen. Therefore, it is a good thing to have a professional join us and become a member of us."

Klein nodded slightly, accepted Dunn's statement, and asked with divergent thinking:

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

Dunn went on to say:

"This is the third and the most important point. You have been exposed to similar events. There is no problem with violating the confidentiality clause when inviting you. If you fail to develop others, I will assume responsibility for the secret disclosure. Most of our team members and our civil servants come from within the church."

After listening quietly, Klein said curiously:

"Why do you want to keep it so confidential? Many things are published and circulated to let more people know. Isn't it possible to avoid the same mistakes from happening again? The biggest fear is the unknown. We can make the unknown known."

"No, human stupidity is beyond your imagination, which will lead to more imitation, greater chaos, and more serious events." Dunn Smith shook his head and replied.

Klein "Hmm" and said clearly:

"The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind cannot learn any lesson from history and always repeats the same tragedy."

"Emperor Russell's famous saying is indeed full of philosophy," Dunn agreed.

... what the Great Russell said? The predecessor of the walker really did not leave a chance to force the latecomers without a dead angle of 360 degrees... Klein didn't know how to answer the question for a while.

Dunn turned his head and looked out of the carriage. The dim yellow of the street lamp interwoven into the brilliance of civilization.

"... There is a similar sentence in the judicial organs of the major churches, which may be the main reason for strict confidentiality and prohibition of ordinary people from knowing."

"What is it?" Klein was refreshed and had the pleasure of spying.

Dunn turned his head and pulled his face slightly and invisibly:

"Trust and fear bring trouble, and more trust and fear bring more trouble until everything is destroyed."

After saying this, he sighed:

"In addition to praying for the protection and help of the gods, human beings cannot solve the really big problems."

"Belief and fear cause trouble, and more faith and fear cause more trouble..." Klein said this sentence silently, not quite able to understand, and then felt fear because of the unknown that was not quite understood, as if there were a pair of malicious eyes and open mouth hidden in the shadow of the street lamp outside and in the dark without light.

The horse's hooves are agile, the wheels are rolling, and Iron Cross Street is far away. Dunn broke the sudden silence and formally invited:

"Do you want to join us and become a civilian?"

Klein thought for a moment and couldn't decide

"Can I think about it?"

The matter is of great importance. We should not make choices hastily and recklessly.

"No problem, just give me a reply before Sunday." Dunn nodded

"OK," Klein replied solemnly.

The carriage was silent again.

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

"Mr. Smith, how about the salary and treatment of your civil servants?"

This is a serious problem

Dunn paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Don't worry about this problem. Our funds are jointly guaranteed by the church and the police department. The weekly salary of the newly recruited civilian staff is 2 pounds and 10 sule, and there are also 10 sule of confidentiality and risk subsidies. The total amount is 3 pounds, which is not much worse than the official university lecturer."

"After that, your salary will gradually increase as you improve your qualifications and get corresponding credit."

"For civilian personnel, we usually have a five-year contract. After five years, if you don't want to do it, you can leave normally, but you must sign another lifelong confidentiality clause. You can't leave Tingen without our approval. Moving to other cities also requires the first time to register with the local night watchman."

"By the way, there are no Sundays, and you can only take turns. You must keep three civilian staff working at any time. If you want to go to the south and the Dixi Bay for a holiday, you need to coordinate with your colleagues."

As soon as Dunn finished speaking, the carriage stopped and the Kleins' apartment appeared on the side.

"I see." Klein turned and walked out of the carriage and stopped beside him. "By the way, Mr. Smith, if I think about it, where should I find you?"

Dunn said with a deep smile:

"Go to the" Hound Tavern "on Besik Street, find their boss, Wright, and tell him that you want to ask the mercenary team to do the task."

"Ah?" Klein was confused.

"Our address is also confidential. It is impossible to tell you directly before you promise. Well, Mr. Klein Moretti, I wish you still have a good dream tonight." Dunn smiled.

Klein took off his hat to salute and watched the carriage go from slow to fast.

He took out his pocket watch, snapped it open, and saw that it was just around four o'clock in the morning, the cool wind in the street was cool, and the street lights were dim.

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

The noisiest and noisiest block in the daytime is so lonely and quiet in the middle of the night, which is quite different from the silent gaze and psychic illusion in Welch's residence.

Until then, he found that the back of his linen shirt was full of sweat, cold and wet.
