Looking into Klein's eyes, Dunn took a breath, leaned back, and slowly spoke:

"Are you sure?"

His expression changed very little, as if he had been prepared for the special application, but had not expected it to come so soon.

Captain, why do you feel relieved and at ease? Klein didn't hide his smile and said:

"I am sure, Captain, that when you have mastered the potion, you will have a special, wonderful feeling that will confirm without a doubt that you have mastered it."

"A special, wonderful feeling." Dunn chewed on this sentence in a low voice, and his brows slowly frowned.

Hey, the captain's previous two promotions were both made without completely digesting the potion? Yes, if you don't know how to "act", it's difficult to digest it thoroughly. You can only rely on a long period of polishing and some subconscious acting to reduce the risk of losing control. Poor Captain Klein looked at Dunn Smith quietly, without saying anything or adding anything, allowing the other party to think carefully.

After nearly a minute, Dunn's deep gray eyes reflected Klein's figure again. He carefully considered his words and said:

“Perhaps, waiting another year would be a better choice.”

The captain means that if I wait another year, I won't be too conspicuous. With Ms. Daly as an example, the top management won't pay too much attention to me. At most, I will be included in the list for further observation? Klein thought about it and answered frankly:

"I originally wanted to wait until next year to submit a special application. After all, there are still many things I need to master. For example, I have just started fighting."

"But, Captain, don't you think we've encountered too many coincidences in the past month or two? When I was chasing the kidnapper, I found the Antigonus family's notes in the opposite room; the delivery of the Sealed Artifact '2049' was delayed, and Riel Biber didn't escape from Tingen, but started trying to digest the power at the dock; I went to a birthday dinner, which led to the matter of Heinus Vancent; I went to the library to investigate, and met the member of the Aurora Society on the spot."

“I don’t know what these coincidences mean, but I always feel uneasy, so I want to maximize my improvement.”

Seizing this opportunity, Klein mentioned the mastermind behind the scenes. This was also something he had originally planned to put on his schedule. Without exposing his own specialness, he wanted to remind the Nighthawks to find more clues from other aspects. From the words he just said, others could only draw one conclusion: he had a sharp intuition and was good at sorting things out.

After Klein said the word "but", Dunn's body gradually leaned forward, and in the end, he put his crossed hands against his mouth.

His eyes were deep and he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about what he had just said.

After a few seconds, Dunn raised his head and said in a mellow and low voice:

"Very perceptive. Perhaps there is something hidden in the depths of darkness."

Without waiting for Klein to speak, he turned and ordered:

"You can go write a special application now."

“Okay.” Klein answered with a smile on his face.

He stood up with a smile and walked towards the door. As expected, he heard the familiar supplement again.

"Wait a minute." Dunn called out to the guy who was about to open the door and said carefully, "Be careful with your words."

Don't worry, Captain. I take this issue more seriously than you do! Klein nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.

He originally thought that Dunn would come up with another plan, which was to advance to Sequence 8 privately without going through the Holy Temple, and then go through the normal process three years later. But then he studied it carefully and found that this was impossible, because no matter whether it was a special application or a normal application, the promoted person had to pass the examination of the personnel sent by the Holy Temple, but one was very complicated and the other was quite simple.

By then, the secret of having become a Sequence 8 could no longer be hidden, and would affect the entire Tingen Night Slayer team.

After leaving the captain's office and finishing all his mysticism courses, Klein did not rush to change shifts underground. Instead, he slowly walked into the clerical staff room next door.

At this time, there were a man and a woman sitting in the office. The man was in his early thirties and the woman was in her twenties. They were the two new members.

When they saw Klein come in, they were stunned at first, then they smiled, nodded and greeted him. They were curious and awed by the Beyonder.

Klein didn't chat with them. He found an empty table and quickly wrote the draft of the "Special Application".

Because he had a plan in mind, he only took ten minutes to complete the preliminary work.

After reading it several times and revising it in many places, he sat down at the Axon 1346 mechanical typewriter and turned the draft into the original copy.

Amid the sound of keyboard tapping, the two new clerical staff members looked at each other, stood up at the same time, walked out of the office, and went to the reception hall to chat with Roxanne, leaving the room to Klein alone.

Very reserved and very secretive. Klein glanced at their backs and secretly admired them.

He looked away and continued typing on the keyboard.

Just when he was about to complete the special application, Leonard Mitchell came out of the lounge, looking around while buttoning his shirt, his messy hair exuding an unruly beauty.

"What report are you writing?" Leonard glanced at the clerical office, leaned against the door, tapped the ground with his right toe, and asked with his hands in his pockets.

His green eyes examined Klein with interest.

Klein typed the last word and the last punctuation mark, then smiled and said:

"Special request."

"Special application?" Leonard asked in confusion.

Klein picked up the paper, quickly glanced through it, and explained casually:

"Special application for advancement to Sequence 8."

Cough! Cough! Leonard suddenly coughed violently, and it took him a long time to calm down. He blurted out:

"Have you digested the potion already?"

Digest? Classmate, you know a lot. Klein held the "Special Application" in his hand, walked up to Leonard, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Yes."

Then, he stared into the other person's eyes, lowered his voice, and added with a smile:

“I remember someone once told me that there are always some special people in this world who can accomplish things that others cannot.

"For example, me."

"For example, you."

Leonard was so stunned that he didn't know what to say. He could only change his standing posture, take his hands out of his pockets and hug them across his chest.

He opened his mouth, finally organized his words, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't you think this is too risky?"

Since you know how to digest it, you must understand that there is no risk factor in my promotion. Hmm, does he mean the attention of the church's top leaders? Klein explained thoughtfully:

"Leonard, do you remember the first mission we worked on together? We were just tracking down the kidnapper, but we found clues to the Antigonus family's notes hidden in the room opposite."

He described exactly what he had just said to Dunn.

Leonard's expression grew more and more solemn, and he nodded in agreement imperceptibly.

He muttered to himself: "Maybe I have to speed up the process too."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Klein, smiled brightly and said:

"Aren't you going to share your experience with us? The experience of quickly mastering the potion and avoiding the risk of losing control to the greatest extent!"

This guy changes his expression so quickly! Klein smiled and said:

“I’m happy to share.”

He was planning to take advantage of today's opportunity to give some advice to the members of the Nighthawks team to reduce the risk of them losing control.

Of course, for his own safety, he couldn't be too blunt like he did when facing Dunn Smith. At most, he could describe the content of the first foreshadowing, which was content that could be known to the people sent by the top management.

“Then now!” Leonard couldn’t wait to pull Klein towards the Nighthawks’ entertainment room.

At this moment, except for Luo Yao who was on duty at Chanis Gate, the rest of them, including Frye, Coenli and Sigatron, were all there, playing cards very leisurely.

"Everyone, everyone!" Leonard knocked on the half-open door and began to recite, "Let me solemnly introduce the gentleman next to you, Mr. Klein Moretti, who mastered potions in just one and a half months!"

This guy is so boastful! Klein suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"What?" Miss Sighat, a writer who was neither famous nor popular, tilted her head as if testing her hearing.

"Leonard, stop joking. Your performances are always so exaggerated." Cohen Li helplessly covered the cards in his hand.

Frye took the card and glanced at Klein. He was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Are you sure you have fully mastered the potion?"

"Yes." Klein sensed the other party's concern and nodded affirmatively, "There are obvious signs of this."

"What? Really?" Cohenli shouted belatedly and stood up quickly.

Leonard chuckled and pointed at the paper in Klein's hand.

"This is a special application he submitted. It is a special application for advancement to Sequence 8!"

"How did you do it?" Xigatan thought a lot, but after taking a breath, he only asked the question that concerned him most.

She was so calm and elegant that she could hardly control the burning gaze.

Klein found a chair and sat down, answering in a low voice:

"I got the idea from the motto of 'The Secret Peeper'."

"Do whatever you want, but don't hurt anyone?" Leonard cooperated very dutifully.

"Internal data shows that the probability of a 'secret peeper' who abides by this motto going out of control is lower than normal," Klein said after he learned from Old Neil. "Afterwards, I had a further idea based on Ms. Daly's case."

"'Psychic' Daly?" Kornley asked back, seeking confirmation.

"Well, Ms. Daly also submitted a special application. It only took her two years to go from a 'corpse collector' to a 'psychic'. She once told Old Neil that she wanted to be a real psychic." Klein explained in detail, "Combined with some of the things I experienced in the Divination Club and the corresponding feedback I received, I gradually summarized the 'Diviner's Code' and strictly followed it, trying to be a real fortune teller. When I did this, I found that my progress in mastering potions became very fast, very fast, and it can't even be called mastery."

After listening to Klein's statement, Frye, Siga and others fell into deep thought, and Leonard also pretended to think.

"I'm going to submit the 'special application'." Klein raised the paper in his hand and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me privately."

"Okay." Frye nodded coldly.

After leaving the entertainment room, Klein knocked on the captain's office door again.

He sat down across from Dunn's desk, picked up his pen and ink pad, signed first and then put his fingerprints on it.

"Captain, this is my 'special application.'" After doing all this, he held the paper in both hands and handed it to Dunn.

Dunn read it carefully, put down the application and said:

"I will hand it over to the Holy Temple as soon as possible. You should be prepared to be examined. It may be next week or the week after next."

“Okay.” Klein took a breath and nodded solemnly.

He stood up, walked out of the captain's office, and left the door ajar.

During this process, he glanced at his application and a thought suddenly occurred to him:

I don't know what kind of test I will take.

ps: There will be additional chapters tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, please give me your monthly votes! The specific time is 12:30 pm tomorrow, 7 pm, and early morning, and the same for the day after tomorrow.
