Inside the cafe.
"To re introduce, I'm Sean from the 11th inning. This is my boss, Horatio!"
Sean sipped his coffee and smiled like a prank: "brother... Your secret has been found, but look open, it doesn't matter. Like me, I thought they would send me to the laboratory for slicing, but in the end there was nothing... Except that the training was hard, the salary was small, and there was no vacation... The rest was tolerable."
"Cough..." Horatio coughed and told Sean to shut up.
His face was clear-cut and his expression became more and more serious. It seemed that he wanted to bring pressure to Sulu: "we found... You have been very active in some circles recently!"
"Yes... I need to earn money to support my family and pay the rent... I always abide by federal laws."
Su Lu answered quietly.
"We don't mean to blame you, but you should know that many extraordinary people have extreme psychology and are easy to cause trouble, so they need to be controlled..."
Horatio's expression softened a little: "I think... Limited transparency and monitoring are good for both of us, don't you think?"
He is very confident, basically, as long as they notice the extraordinary, there is no choice.
"Cooperation? What a wonderful word! How to cooperate?"
Asked Sulu.
"You are honest with us about your career information and regularly report to us some trends in the mysterious circle of the city..."
Horatio said: "in return... We guarantee your safety if you abide by the law."
"That is to say... Want me to be an informant?"
Sulu crossed his hands and fingers: "you can... But you can't betray me. My information must be kept confidential."
"Wise choice!" Horatio shook hands with Sulu. "What's your occupation?"
"Similar to [spell mage], I'm good at some mystical rituals and gain power through mantra..."
Sulu exposed his arrogance.
"A side door, a career that didn't exist before!"
Huoleixiaofei quickly recorded: "do you feel that you are being affected by madness and sometimes very impulsive?"
"No, how is that possible?" Sulu quickly shook his head.
……
A moment later, he got up and left.
Sean stared blankly at Horatio: "that's it? I think his origin is very problematic. His ID is forged by sharks..."
"Otherwise?"
Horatio rubbed his temples with a headache: "there will only be more and more such wild extraordinary people. We can't catch them... We can only have limited cooperation and control. And... It's rare to have an informant who can join the Shadow Council... He has strong self-control and is very useful at present."
Sean shut up immediately.
The Shadow Council, which is an extraordinary circle almost existing with Rory City, and extremely repels official forces.
Like a shadow in the sun, it has always coexisted with Rory City, reaching out in all aspects.
Recently, the other side's series of actions have made the eleventh inning very difficult.
After all, the Church of the goddess of light on the west coast has little influence, only one chapel.
Moreover, not every city will send strong professionals to garrison. There are not so many people in the church and the Federation!
……
"It seems that... Sean is very happy to be an agent in the 11th Bureau. I hope he can always be safe..."
Sulu sighed as he walked out of the cafe.
The eleventh inning is very dangerous! Its agents need to deal with all kinds of extraordinary events, many of which are fatal!
Even his own hands were stained with the blood of some members of the other party.
"Destiny..."
After returning to the apartment, Sulu rubbed his eyebrows: "unfortunately... My soul has not fully recovered, otherwise, there are ways to break the situation..."
The seemingly calm city of Rory is actually turbulent.
Eleven innings, Shadow Council, Margaret and devil believers, Owen's nightmare... This made Sulu understand that there is no real peaceful paradise in the world under the tide of transcendence.
The only thing that can really protect yourself is the power you master!
"Fortunately... What I'm playing now is just a little person who knows a lot of mysterious knowledge but has a low rank... No one will really take me seriously."
Sulu's body relaxed.
The next week was peaceful.
He still lingered inside and outside Rory, looking for some mysterious materials and searching for traces of magical creatures suitable for hunting.
Nothing big happened except that Owen once sent the housekeeper Kim DEM to ask for a solution and brought an invitation to his 25th birthday party.
Soon, it was time for the "Shadow Council" to convene.
……
Midnight.
Dressed in camouflage, Sulu entered a sewer, walked through a complex maze of routes, and finally came to the 'hall of shadows'!
"Welcome, scholar!"
The saint greeted with a smile. She still chose to sit next to Sulu: "today... You will face a choice."
"Whether to accept the test and become a full member?"
Sulu nodded: "what are the benefits of full membership? Specific? I have no plan to establish a family, not at present!"
He is not interested in any formal members at all. At present, he is just delaying.
"Many, many... For example, really participate in the core secrets, get the right to vote at the meeting that determines the future development of Rory City, and master some of the secret powers of Rory city... As for more advanced extraordinary materials and intelligence, it's just incidental!"
The "Saint" breathed in Sulu's ear like an orchid tunnel.
Sulu believes that this is what the "speaker" means.
Through his observation in the spiritual world, he has found that this Shadow Council is not simple. There are at least three masters at the fourth level.
Worthy of being the secret ruler of Rory, he can resist or even suppress the local church and federal forces.
"Ladies and gentlemen... I declare... The party begins!"
While Sulu was thinking, the staff gradually came together.
The speaker knocked on the table and the sound spread all over the hall.
"First of all..." he looked at Sulu: "scholar, do you want to become a full member?"
"Can you want to know the content of the 'test' in advance!"
Sulu pretended to be a little uneasy and asked.
"Hee hee... Don't worry, the task won't be too difficult for newcomers!"‘ The saint comforted: "but... We must make a choice, break with our hostile forces and show our attitude."
"So it is..."
Sulu probably knows that if his identity is true, as long as he attacks an official institution or hunts an official extraordinary, it means breaking with the official, and facing endless arrest and fighting, he can only shelter under the shadow Parliament.
"It's a pity... You don't know that my face and identity are fake, and... I'm crazy. My six relatives don't recognize it. The official extraordinary has killed more than a dozen..."
