After going up the stairs and returning to the reception hall, Klein was about to say goodbye to Roxanne when he heard the brown-haired girl say briskly:
"The captain asked you to come back on Monday to take care of the chores at home first."
“…Okay.” Klein didn’t expect the management of the Nighthawks to be so humane, and he was quite grateful for the moment.
He originally planned to get up early tomorrow, and take advantage of the opportunity of working as a "hanger" outside in the morning to go to Tingen University, find the instructor in charge of interview reception, and tell him that he would not participate in the subsequent links. After all, the original owner entered the interview with the recommendation letter of the tutor. No matter what, it is basic courtesy to have an explanation from beginning to end. Even if he does not consider himself, he has to respect the tutor's favor.
In the absence of telephones, telegrams were charged by the letter, and it was obviously too late to send a letter, the most economical and appropriate way was to take a public carriage directly.
Now that he had the captain's special approval, Klein didn't have to work so hard. He could get enough sleep, wake up, and spend his time leisurely.
Klein was about to take off his hat and say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something. He looked around and lowered his voice and said:
"Roshan, do you know what the beginning of the complete sequence that the church has mastered is?"
This was something he had forgotten to ask Old Neil.
Luo Shan opened her eyes wide and looked at Klein in surprise.
"You want to become an Extraordinary?"
Was it that obvious? Klein touched the corner of his mouth and answered awkwardly:
“Knowing that there are indeed extraordinary and mysterious powers in the world, it is inevitable that one will have some yearning for them.”
"My goddess, do you know how dangerous it is? Didn't the captain tell you? The enemies of Beyonders are not just cultists and dark wizards, but also themselves! Almost every year, someone loses control and someone sacrifices! Don't you consider the feelings of your family?" Roshan emphasized her tone with gestures, and her reaction was a bit extreme. "Klein, I think it's a better choice to be an honest clerical staff. There is almost no danger, and the salary increases every year. After you work for a few years and have savings, you can rent a single-family house in the northern district or near the suburbs, form a happy family with a charming lady, and have a lovely, naughty little angel..."
“Roshan, stop! Stop!” Klein saw the brown-haired girl talking further and further away, and he quickly spoke up to stop her with sweat on his forehead, “I just want to, uh, understand some basic common sense.”
"Okay..." Luo Shan was silent for a few seconds, lowered her eyes, and said embarrassedly, "Because of my father's affairs, I always get, well, you know, a little excited about similar issues. But, to be honest, I admire every gentleman and lady who volunteers to be a night watchman."
“I understand. I understand.” Klein quickly agreed.
Luo Shan blinked her light brown eyes and added:
"My father once said, don't think that becoming more powerful and becoming a higher-order Beyonder will solve hidden dangers and fight against dangers. In fact, it's just the opposite. You will encounter more and more terrible things. When you encounter some unknown and terrifying existence, madness and death are the only two outcomes. Ha, he died the second week after he said this... Klein, don't look at me with sympathy. I am living a good life now. Really well! You should be afraid of these things!"
"I just want to understand basic common sense..." Klein repeated his previous answer, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Mr. Captain explained it more clearly and understandably than you did. Even if I hadn't become a Beyonder, I would have encountered incredible things...
"Okay." Luo Shan said thoughtfully, "I've heard from the captain and Old Neil that due to the decrease and extinction of extraordinary species, there are almost no high-sequence strongmen in this era. It's very powerful to be a Beyonder! There are hundreds of thousands of people in our Tingen City and suburbs, probably, or more, but there are only more than 30 Beyonders. Well, I guessed... well, I didn't count those cultists and black wizards living in dark corners..."
Without waiting for Klein to speak, she clenched her fist in front of her chest as if she had regained her vitality and said:
"Among these more than 30 Beyonders, most are Sequence 9! Uh, I think I went off topic..."
"It's okay. These are common sense things I want to know." Klein hoped that Roxanne could talk about this and that like she usually does and reveal more information.
"In short, being able to become a Beyonder is already amazing, amazing!" Luo Shan repeated, "The beginning of the complete sequence belonging to our church is 'Sleepless', Sequence 9 'Sleepless'!"
As expected... Klein nodded slightly as he heard Miss Roxanne continue to describe uncontrollably:
"You should be able to guess from the name that 'Sleepless' are people who don't need to sleep at night, and only need three to four hours of rest during the day. Phew, I'm so envious... No, I'm not envious at all. Sleep is a gift from the goddess, and it's the happiest thing!"
"Where was I? Yes, the Sleepless Ones can see through the darkness without light. The deeper the night, the stronger they are. I mean, they are stronger in all aspects, including their strength, their inspiration, and their thinking. However, although they can discover unknown dangers hidden in the darkness, when they encounter monsters that cannot be dealt with by normal methods, they still have to rely on items such as demon hunting bullets. My father used to be a Sleepless One."
Without waiting for Klein to ask, Roshan said to herself:
"Next is Sequence 8 'Midnight Poet', and above that is Sequence 7 'Nightmare'."
Nightmare? Klein immediately remembered Dunn Smith guiding his dream, and asked as if to confirm:
"team leader?"
"You know?" Miss Roxanne's mouth almost opened into an O shape.
"The captain once appeared in my dream..." Klein glanced left and right and lowered his voice again.
"I see..." Luo Shan suddenly realized and responded in a low voice.
She picked up the coffee cup beside her, took a sip, and then said with emotion:
"There are only two Sequence 7 members in our Tingen City. The captain should be one of them. Even if he goes to a large diocese like Backlund, he is still a very powerful figure. Some deacons may not be stronger than him!"
“So the captain is so amazing.” Klein agreed with a smile.
Honestly, Dunn Smith’s appearance at midnight yesterday was very impressive, and I almost instinctively believed that he was a very powerful Extraordinary Person.
"Of course!" Roxanne straightened her back proudly.
Immediately, she said with a distressed expression, her mind jumping, "I don't know what is above Sequence 7. Perhaps only the captain of the entire Nighthawk team knows."
"What about the other sequence starts? The incomplete ones." Klein changed the subject with satisfaction.
It must be said that the "Sleepless One" described by Luo Shan did meet some of his imaginations and expectations of Beyonders, but it was not the kind he hoped to become. In his mind, the perfect "Sequence 9" should be able to learn and master a lot of mysterious knowledge to lay the foundation for figuring out the reason for his own time travel and traveling back in the future.
Luo Shan thought about it and sighed:
"I'm not too interested in this aspect. I just know that there are more than other churches. After all, the goddess is also the mother of secrets... Well, there should be two or three types, because some team members are always cold and scary, and they smell weird. Some team members, well, I mean old Neil, he knows a lot and can perform many interesting magic rituals. Let me think about it, he once said that his Sequence 9 title, which is the name of the potion formula... oh yes, it's called the Secret Peeper!"
Many interesting magic rituals? Secret Voyeur? It sounds very close to what I want... Klein was slightly delighted.
"In addition, I also know the name of a Sequence 7, the one with an incomplete path!" Luo Shan said in a boastful tone, as she recalled something else.
"What is it?" Klein was extremely curious.
When high-sequence experts are scarce or even non-existent, Sequence 7 can be considered the backbone of the church, right?
Luo Shan smiled sweetly and answered with a hint of pride:
"Psychic!"
"Ms. Daly?" Klein asked subconsciously.
After his initial surprise, he felt that this matter was not so surprising. Only a Sequence 7 expert could perform psychic performance like Ms. Daly!
Luo Shan's eyes widened again, and she spoke in disbelief:
"You, how did you know that?"
"I've met Ms. Daly." Klein did not hide anything.
"Okay." Luo Shan said in a yearning tone, "If I can become a psychic directly, a psychic like Ms. Daly, then I am willing to be a Beyonder. No, I will seriously consider it for ten minutes..."
“Well, Ms. Daly satisfies all my imaginations about Beyonders,” Klein agreed in a slightly exaggerated tone.
Having accomplished his intended purpose, he chatted with Luo Shan for a few more minutes. Seeing that there was no other information, he took off his hat, saluted, said goodbye and left.
Klein walked down the stairs for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and reached out to touch the banknotes in his inner pocket.
Then he took out the 12-pound note, clenched it tightly in his left palm, and then put his hand in his trouser pocket, refusing to let go or take it out, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
