The Mysterious King

Chapter 17 Special Operations Department

Black Thorn Security Company

Upon seeing the sign, Klein froze for a long time, with an unexpected but reasonable feeling.

Stretch out your right hand and lightly tap on the partially closed door.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The slow and rhythmic knocking on the door echoed, but there was no response inside, only a faint sound of 'da da da' coming out.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Klein repeated the same result again.

He changed from tapping to pushing, causing the gap to widen, and his gaze followed. He saw a group of classical sofas, soft faced armchairs, and a wooden coffee table that he didn't know was for reception. He also saw a table directly opposite him, as well as a brown haired girl with a drooping head behind the table.

Although the brand of "security company" is just a disguise, it's too unprofessional, isn't it? How long has it been since there was any business coming? Okay, you don't need any business either... Klein leaned closer and knocked twice on the table while muttering.

Dong! Dong!

The brown haired girl sat up straight and grabbed the newspaper spread out in front of her with both hands, blocking her face.

The Tingen City Honest... good name... Klein silently recited the newspaper's head towards his side.

The steam train 'Flying' that runs directly to Constance City opens today... really, when will it be able to reach Desi Bay? I don't want to go by boat anymore, it's too uncomfortable, very uncomfortable... Eh, who are you? "The brown haired girl pretended to read a passage, expressed her opinion, and as she spoke, lowered her newspaper, revealing a smooth forehead and light brown eyes, first pleasing and then looking at Klein in amazement.

Hello, I am Klein Moretti, at the invitation of Mr. Dunn Smith. "Klein took off his hat and placed it on his chest, bowing slightly.

The brown haired girl is in her early twenties, wearing a light green Rune style lightweight long dress with beautiful lace at the cuffs, collar, chest, and other areas, which sets off her face even more beautifully.

Captain... Alright, wait here while I ask him. "The girl quickly got up and entered the room through the next door.

Not to mention pouring a glass of water or anything... The service consciousness is worrying... Klein smiled slightly and waited in place, not going to the sofa and chair.

After two or three minutes, the brown haired girl pushed out the door and said with a sweet smile:

Mr. Moretti, could you please follow me? The captain is on duty at 'Channismen' today and cannot leave

Okay, "Klein took a gentle step, muttering in his heart.

Chansimon, what is that?

Through the partition, the first thing that caught his eye was a short corridor, with three offices on each side.

Some of these offices are tightly locked, while others are open, and people inside can be seen pounding away with heavy mechanical typewriters.

Blinking by, Klein unexpectedly discovered an acquaintance: the young police officer who came to search his own house that day, the one with dark hair and blue eyes, and a romantic temperament of a poet.

He was not wearing formal attire, and his white shirt was not tucked into his pants, giving him a wild and unrestrained appearance.

Perhaps he is really a poet... Klein nodded and the other person smiled back.

The brown haired girl twisted the handle of the left office at the end, pushed the door open, pointed inside and smiled:

We need to go down a few more stairs

There are no items placed in this office, only gray and white stone stairs extending downwards.

The walls on both sides of the stairs were adorned with elegant gas lamps, which steadily dissipated the darkness and brought peace.

The brown haired girl walked ahead, staring at her feet, walking cautiously:

Although I often come here, I am still afraid. I always worry about falling and rolling down. You don't know, Leonard has done such a foolish thing before, trying to run at a sprint speed, and then he turned into a wheel. Haha, it's funny to think of it. Well, it's the guy who just greeted you. Speaking of it, I've been on duty for five years, and I was only seventeen years old at that time

The girl looked at the road while speaking proficiently. Suddenly, she secretly patted her forehead and said:

I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Luo Shan, and my father is a regular member of the night watchman team. He died in an accident five years ago. From now on, we should be colleagues. Well, we should use the word 'colleague'... not teammates, after all, we are not extraordinary people

I hope to have this honor, but ultimately it depends on Mr. Smith. "Klein looked around the enclosed area and only noticed that the two of them were beginning to enter the ground - the stone walls exuded a cold wetness,

Don't worry, if you can come here directly, it means that the captain has agreed. I have always been a bit afraid of the captain. Although he is very kind, takes care of people, and gives my father the feeling, I don't know why, it's just fear. "Luo Shan's voice was like a piece of sugar.

Klein humorously responded:

Isn't it normal to be afraid of my father

It makes sense, "Luo Shan reached out and helped the wall at the corner.

During their conversation, the two of them walked down the spiral staircase and arrived at the flat ground paved with stone slabs.

This is a long hallway, with gas lamps surrounded by metal grids on both sides of the walls, shining brightly, dragging the shadows of Klein and Rosanne long.

Klein keenly noticed that there was a "Dark Emblem" on the wall every other distance, which was the symbol of the Night Goddess - "With a deep black background and bright embellishments, surrounded by exactly half of the crimson moon

These sacred badges seemed nothing special, but walking between them, Klein's mood gradually calmed down, and Rosanne closed her mouth and stopped chatting and chatting like before.

Not long after, a crossroads appeared ahead, and the brown haired girl briefly introduced:

To the left leads to the Church of Saint Serena, to the right is the arsenal of weapons, materials, and literature, and to the right is the Chanis Gate

Saint Serena's Church? Is Zotland Street on the back of Red Moon Street? Klein listened in a daze.

The St. Serena's Church on Red Moon Street is the headquarters of the Night Goddess Church in Tingen City. It is a sacred place that local devout believers aspire to. Together with the Steam and Mechanical God Church "St. Mary's Church" in the suburbs, and the Storm Lord Church "River and Sea Church" located in the northern district of Tingen, they support the religious community of Tingen City and its affiliated towns and villages.

Consciously, in his current position, it was not appropriate to ask more questions. Klein just listened silently without making a sound.

Passing through the intersection and walking straight ahead, within a minute, a black iron gate with seven sacred emblems carved on it appeared in front of the two of them.

It stands there, giving an intuitive feeling of heaviness, coldness, and overlooking, like a giant guarding in the darkness.

Chansimon, "Rosanne said, pointing to the nearby room." The captain is inside, you can go in yourself

Okay, thank you, "Klein politely replied.

The room Roshan was referring to was just a little in front of the "Channis Gate", with the windows open and lights shining. Klein took a breath and bent his fingers calmly.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Come in, "said Dunn Smith in a deep and warm voice.

Klein gently pushed open the open door and saw that there was only one table and four chairs inside. Dunn Smith, with his high hairline, was leisurely reading the newspaper in the black windbreaker he had worn last night, and there was a gold watch chain near the button on his chest.

Sit down, have you considered it? Are you sure you want to join us? "Dunn put down his newspaper and asked with a smile.

Klein took off his hat, bowed, sat down at the table, and slowly nodded, saying:

Yes, I'm sure

Then take a look at this contract. Hehe, now people like to call it a contract. "Dunn opened the desk drawer and took out the contract in duplicate.

The above clauses are not many, mostly those mentioned by Dunn Smith before, with a focus on confidentiality clauses. Violators will no longer be tried through royal courts, but will be directly tried by the arbitration tribunal of the Night Goddess Church, just like soldiers and officers have to go to military courts.

Five year contracts... two pounds and a weekly salary of 10 Sul, confidentiality and risk allowance of 10 Sul... After reading them all, Klein replied in a straight voice:

I have no problem

Then sign it, "Dunn pointed to the dark red pen and ink on the table.

Klein first tested the pen with waste paper, then took a concealed breath and signed his name in the corresponding positions of both contracts: Klein Moretti.

He had to put on his fingerprints because he didn't have a seal yet.

Dunn withdrew the contract and took out a seal from the drawer, covering it at the end and several key points.

After finishing all this, he stood up, handed back a contract with one hand, and reached out to Klein with the other:

Welcome, from now on, you will be one of us. Please note that the contract must also be kept confidential

Klein followed and stood up, taking the contract while holding the other party's hand and laughing:

So should I call you captain

Yes, "Dunn's gray eyes were unusually deep in the dim yellow environment.

After shaking hands, the two of them sat down separately. Klein looked at the seal on the contract and found that the text was "Night Watch Squad in Tingen, Ahowa County, Kingdom of Wayne".

I didn't expect you to use 'Black Thorn Security Company' to cover it up, 'he chuckled casually.

Actually, we have another sign, "Dunn took out a piece of paper from the drawer.

It is stamped with the dual seals of the city government and police department, and the content is two lines of words:

Ruen Kingdom, Ahowa County Police Department Special Operations Unit Seven

"The first four groups are the normal police responsible for security, such as the VIP protection group and the important place protection group. From the fifth group, we are responsible for the supernatural events in each city. Our seventh group is responsible for the events related to the Goddess Believers in Tingen City. If there are people of different faiths, we will divide them by region. We are mainly in North District, West District and Jinwutong District."

Dunn roughly introduced, "The sixth group under the 'Punishers' team of the Storm Lord Church is responsible for the docks, east, and south districts, while the university and suburban areas belong to the fifth group, which is the' Mechanical Heart 'team in Tingen

Hmm. "Klein couldn't find anything to ask about this matter and turned to a smile." What if someone really comes to entrust a task because of the brand of 'Black Thorn Security Company'

Accept it. As long as it doesn't affect daily affairs, "Dunn replied calmly and humorously." If you earn money, you can use it as an additional subsidy. The team members are quite willing to do it. Anyway, the troublesome and trivial things like finding cats and dogs are now taken care of by private detectives

How many people are there in our night watchman team? "Klein asked on this topic.

There are not many supernatural events, and there are not many extraordinary ones. There are only six formal members on duty in the entire city of Tingen, including me. You also have six civil servants, "Dunn replied calmly.

Klein nodded and finally spoke up to ask the most concerned thing:

What happened to the extraordinary person you mentioned losing control of? Why would it lose control
