"Why?" Hearing Dunn's words, Klein's heart was immediately filled with turmoil, and he blurted out instinctively. There are serious risks with being a supernatural? Even the Church's internal judicial organs and the supernatural who deal with abnormal events are prone to problems? Dunn Smith stepped into the carriage and sat in the previous seat, maintaining his usual expression and tone: "This is not something you need to know, nor can you know it, unless you become one of us." Klein was stunned for a moment, followed and sat down, asking half amused and half puzzled: "How can I make a decision to join without understanding this?" And if I don't join, I can't understand, and this becomes a vicious cycle... Dunn Smith took out his pipe again, held it to his nose and took a puff: "You probably misunderstood. Our members include clerical staff." "So, as long as I become one of your clerical staff, I can understand the related secrets, figure out the risks and possible dangers of being a supernatural, and then consider whether to become a supernatural?" Klein organized his thoughts and restated the other's meaning in his own words. Dunn smiled and said: "That's right, except for one thing. That is, just because you consider becoming a supernatural doesn't mean you will definitely become one. In this regard, all major churches are equally strict." It would be strange if they weren't strict... Klein muttered to himself, emphasizing with a gesture: "What about clerical staff? This should also be very strict, right?" "If it's you, there should be no problem," Dunn said with half-closed eyes, his expression slightly relaxed as he smelled the pipe, but he didn't light the tobacco. "Why?" Klein was puzzled again. At the same time, he began to self-mock in his heart: Could it be that my uniqueness, my aura as a time traveler, is as obvious and outstanding as a firefly in the night? Dunn opened his half-closed eyes, his gray eyes as deep as before: "First, being able to survive in such an event without our help shows that you have advantages different from others, such as luck, and lucky people are always popular." Seeing Klein's slightly dazed expression, he smiled and said: "Alright, you can take this as a humorous statement. Second, you are a graduate of the History Department of Hoy University, which is very useful to us. Although the attitude of Lurmi, the follower of the Storm Lord, towards women is disgusting, his views on society, humanities, economy, and politics are still sharp. He once said that talent is the key factor for maintaining a competitive edge and good development. I agree with this point." Seeing Klein frown slightly, he casually explained: "You should be able to imagine that we often come into contact with documents and items from the Quaternary Period and even earlier. Many cults and heresies try to obtain power from these things, and sometimes they themselves can lead to strange and terrifying events." "Except for supernatural beings in special fields, most of us are not good at learning, or we are past that age," Dunn Smith said, pointing at his head and smiling slightly as if mocking himself. "Those dry and boring knowledge always make one want to sleep. Even insomniacs can't resist. In the past, we would cooperate with historians and archaeologists, but this carried the risk of secrets being leaked and might bring bad experiences to professors and associate professors. So, having a professional join us and become one of us is a hard-to-refuse good thing." Klein nodded slightly, accepting Dunn's explanation, and asked thoughtfully: "Then why didn't you directly, um, develop one before?" Dunn continued as if he hadn't heard: "Third, you have a good understanding of the Church and its structure, which is very useful to us. We need to know the Church's internal affairs and the situation of various factions, and you can provide us with this information. Fourth, you have a good relationship with the Church, which can help us in many ways. Fifth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Sixth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways.

Twenty-first, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-second, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-third, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-fourth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-fifth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-sixth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-seventh, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-eighth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us in many ways. Twenty-ninth, you have a good relationship with the Church's higher-ups, which can also help us This is the third and last but most important point. You have been exposed to similar incidents, and there is no issue of breaching confidentiality by inviting you. However, if you develop others and fail, I will take responsibility for any secret leaks. The majority of our members, both active and civilian, come from within the Church. After listening quietly, Klein asked curiously, "Why do you keep it so strictly confidential? Wouldn't it be better to make many things public and let more people know, so as to avoid the same mistakes happening again? The greatest fear comes from the unknown. We can turn the unknown into the known." "No, human stupidity is beyond your imagination. This would instead lead to more imitations, greater chaos, and more serious incidents," Dunn Smith shook his head and replied. Klein hummed and said with understanding, "The only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans cannot learn any lessons from history and always repeat the same tragedies." "Emperor Roselle's famous saying is indeed full of philosophy," Dunn agreed. ... Was that said by Emperor Roselle? The predecessors who came from the future really left no chance for the later ones to show off in any way... Klein was at a loss for words for a moment. Dunn turned his head and looked outside the carriage. The dim yellow light of the street lamps interwove into the glow of civilization. "... Inside the judicial organs of various churches, there is a similar saying. Perhaps this is the main reason why it is strictly confidential and forbidden for ordinary people to know. "What is it?" Klein's spirit lifted, feeling a thrill of peeping into a secret. Dunn turned his head, his facial muscles twitching slightly: "Belief and fear bring trouble, more belief and fear bring greater trouble, until everything is destroyed." After saying this, he sighed and said: "Besides praying for the protection and help of the gods, humans cannot solve real troubles." "Belief and fear bring trouble, more belief and fear bring greater trouble..." Klein murmured this sentence, not quite understanding it, and then felt a sense of fear from not understanding the unknown, as if in the shadows of the street lamps outside, in the dark without light, there were pairs of malicious eyes and open mouths hidden. The horse's hooves were agile, the wheels rolled, and Iron Cross Street was in sight. Dunn broke the sudden silence and formally invited: "Do you want to join us and become a civilian staff member?" Klein's thoughts emerged, unable to make a decision for a moment, and then thought for a while and said: "Can I consider it?" It's a major matter and cannot be decided rashly. "No problem. Just give me a reply by Sunday." Dunn nodded. "Of course, remember to keep it confidential. Don't tell anyone about the Welch-related incident, including your brother and sister. If you violate this, it will not only bring trouble to them but may also lead you to the special court." "Okay." Klein replied solemnly. The carriage fell silent again. Seeing that Iron Cross Street was approaching and he was almost home, Klein suddenly thought of a question and hesitated for a few seconds before asking: "Mr. Smith, what's the salary and benefits for your civilian staff?" This is a serious question... Dunn was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. Our funds are jointly guaranteed by the church and the police department. For new civilian staff, the weekly salary is 2 pounds and 10 shillings, plus a 10 shilling confidentiality and risk subsidy. In total, it's 3 pounds, not much less than a regular university lecturer." "After that, as your experience increases and you earn corresponding merits, your salary will gradually increase." "For civilian staff, if you don't want to do it anymore after signing the contract, you can leave normally, but you must sign a lifelong confidentiality agreement again. You cannot leave Tingen without our approval, and if you move to another city, you need to register with the local Night Watch immediately." "By the way, there is no Sunday off. You can only take turns to rest. There must always be three civilian staff members on duty. If you want to go to the south or to the Dixi Bay for a vacation, you need to coordinate with your colleagues." Dunn had just finished speaking when the carriage stopped, and the apartment where Klein lived appeared on the side. "I understand." Klein turned and got off the carriage, standing beside it. "By the way, Mr. Smith, if I decide, where should I find you?" Dunn chuckled and said: "Go to the 'Hound Inn' on Bessick Street and find their boss, Wright. Tell him you want to hire a mercenary team for a task." "Ah?" Klein was completely confused. Dunn's words were the latest update. Please visit - to New Penquge for the latest updates. Klein took off his hat and bowed, watching the carriage leave from slow to fast. He took out his pocket watch, clicked it open, and saw that it was just past four in the morning. The cool breeze blew on the street, and the street lamps were dim. Klein took a deep breath, feeling the deep silence around him. The most noisy and chaotic street during the day was so quiet and peaceful at midnight. This was completely different from the silent gaze and the trance-like hallucination inside Welch's residence. It was only at this moment that he realized that his linen shirt was soaked with sweat on the back, cold and sticky.
