The heavy metal door of the underground roll warehouse is locked, which is quite private.

After listening to Captain Bazel's statement that secret cultivation may not be able to produce secret sources, Joyce realized that there must be a bottleneck in the growth of secret cultivation.

"Joyce, it's still too early for you to understand the secret source now, not to mention that it is possible to fail to produce the secret source, even in the three stages of the secret qi, it is not so easy to get through, if the secret qi cannot be concentrated and controlled, it means that there is a risk of getting out of control. Bazel said that his face was extremely serious.

"Captain, you haven't answered me yet, is it true that every time you open a secret vein, it represents an ability?" Joyce wanted to learn as much as he could about the secret cultivation path.

"I can't answer this question, it's difficult for wild secret cultivators to get an accurate secret cultivation path, even in the empire, the secret cultivation path is not easy to leak, if it is a temple, it is relatively easy to get the secret cultivation path, the vast majority of wild secret cultivators, if they want to become stronger, they rely on absorbing mysterious characteristics, and each time they absorb a mysterious characteristic, they open a secret vein, but as far as I know, the power of the secret depends more on perception, taking darkness as an example, there is not only one characteristic, fear, devouring, bondage, and sinking, are all dark characteristics. Bazel shook his head.

"It seems that this cultivation path is far from being as simple as I imagined. Joyce pondered Bazel's claim.

"What does the captain mean is that the scattered veins after opening the secret source do not necessarily rely on absorbing the mysterious characteristics?" Joyce guessed that the path that the man in the leather trench coat said was similar to cultivation.

"There is no way, it is difficult for the secret power to become stronger, unless it is to absorb other mysterious characteristics, which also causes the saying that opening a secret vein has an ability, in fact, the wild secret cultivation is mostly at this stage of the secret one, even if it is to continuously absorb the mysterious characteristics to open the secret vein, there is a conflict between different mysterious characteristics, which will make the backlash of the mysterious characteristics more serious. Bazel sighed, as if he was also a little powerless for the secret cultivation path.

"At this stage of the secret cultivator, maybe it's not a disagreement, but there is no way to cultivate, the secret and truth are only in the hands of a very small number of people, and the knowledge of low-level secret cultivators is also very limited!" Joyce roughly guessed, even the captain failed to grasp the essence of the advancement.

"Feelings. ”

From Bazel's previous words, Joyce felt that the word was a lot like a key.

"In the stage of the secret qi, it is very important to control and digest it, only by laying a solid foundation, the obstacles encountered in the future can be smaller, even if you absorb the mysterious characteristics to give birth to the secret qi, the mysterious power generated may not really belong to you. Bazel said to Joyce with a slight meaning.

"Captain, I have one more request, if I fail to absorb the mystical trait, please take care of Elena more. Joyce looked directly at what the man in the fur trench coat said, more to set the stage for solving Elena's problem.

"Elena's condition is not very good, you may not know, today old Bolton sent her back to the Church of the Goddess of Life, but the church refused. Bazel was somewhat helpless.

"Is there anything wrong with Elena?"

A conversation began, and Joyce finally had a chance to ask about Elena.

"She seems to be parasitized, and there is a living object in her body, which the Church of the Goddess of Life denies, and we don't know much about this method. Bazel told Joyce the truth.

"The Church of the Goddess of Life doesn't admit that they did it, and they don't care, what kind of intention does such an attitude represent?" Joyce felt threatened in his heart.

"What will become of Elena, Captain, do you have a solution?" Joyce showed that he did not understand, but had a bad premonition.

"At least in the Lunsu Military Intelligence Department, no one has the ability to remove the foreign body of life parasitic in Elena's body, old Bolton said, the only thing that can be done is to try to pray for a powerful existence with a ritual secret method, but the danger of doing so is also quite large, not to mention whether you can get a response, those mysterious and powerful existences are also terrifying. Bazel said that later, his expression was not optimistic.

Joyce froze in place, as if he couldn't understand or react, and he didn't speak or move until Bazel left.

"Can't you count on it?"

Joyce had to admit that sometimes the truth was revealed, and it was still cruel.

Joyce, who had participated in a psychic ritual at Totton Manor, realized that the ritual secret method that Captain Bazel was talking about was actually similar to a psychic ritual.

To put it simply, ritual esoteriacs are to pray to the gods or mysterious beings in the world, and doing so can easily lead to trouble.

The mere thought of the old man in the cloak who killed Rupert was already terrifying, and Joyce couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he was watched by the gods.

Joyce's left eye was discovered in the dark, and in the afternoon Bolton Sr. took Elena to Rossi Surgical Hospital, and although he was found in vain, he asked Elena to do some simple examinations.

"Rossi Asylum!"

Joyce spoke silently in his mind, and he went to Rossi's Asylum through Bolton Sr. and found it unusual.

Captain Bazel left the vault for a moment, and Joyce closed the heavy metal door again, grabbed some mission files, and read them.

It was already night, and the reason why Joyce didn't leave the library was that he was waiting for old Bolton and Elena to return.

"The strange number that came to my mind before, I can't be sure what it means, on the back beam of the Flame Tenderness Ballroom, there is a notebook and a round of mercury-like mysterious substance, plus the ability of my eyes, and I don't know enough deeply, will my secret qi also give birth to strange abilities?" Joyce forced himself to calm down, wondering if some unknown things could help Elena change her situation.

"That night, the captain broke the vague figure of the ripples behind Elena, does this prove that the person who attacked her is not invincible? Before the vague figure was torn apart by the demon hunting bullet, he even called the captain's name, obviously knowing the captain. Joyce couldn't help frowning at this thought.

Joyce, who could hardly sit still, got up from his desk and took out the Sarun pistol in his pocket.

Swinging the wheel and seeing that there were no bullets in the nest, Joyce closed the wheel again.

"The task files in the library, even if I read them every day, it would take a week to read them, and I guess I can't find a solution to Elena's problem, otherwise Old Bolton wouldn't have taken her to the Goddess of Life Church and Rosie's Asylum. Joyce had no doubt that the elder Burton had looked at the books and archives in the library many times.

Killing the cloaked old man at the Flame Tenderness Ballroom, Joyce wanted to take the opportunity to go to the cemetery to comfort old Rupert and confirm his guess about the mysterious number in his mind, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

"It's not out of danger at the moment, it's better to be cooler. Joyce sighed inwardly.

"Buzz!"

The door to the library was opened, and Elena followed old Bolton in.

"Why are you back?"

When Elena saw Joyce, she was annoyed and complaining.

"I feel a lot better today, Yarlin can still help, and I'll be back. Joyce grinned.

"It's not too late, your injuries are just right, go back with Elena. "Old Bolton didn't mention taking Elena out.

"I'll leave after dinner, Elena, I need a pocket watch, it's too inconvenient to see the time. Joyce put on a posture of taking advantage of the public, and immediately asked the blonde girl for something.

"Joyce, you're so disgusting. ”

Looking at the indecent appearance of the man in front of her, Elena was so angry that she hated it.

Leaving the depot and leaving the old Bolton to lock the door, Joyce first knocked on the iron window of the arsenal, and Cliff, with the same bearded face, filled out the application and re-received the shoulder holster and two rapid loaders for twelve rounds.

Filling the nest of the Zoren pistol with bullets, Joyce felt a little more confident, and then returned to the first floor of the bar with Elena.

Seeing Joyce, Yarlin, who was hanging around on the first floor of the bar, his eyes lit up obviously, and he quickly came over.

"Joyce, congratulations on your reward, you didn't work in vain. Arrin stepped over to the bar and whispered a smile to Joyce.

"Knowing so soon?"

Joyce only felt that there were no secrets in the MIA, and Yarlin was a little too obvious.

"Your contract to become a full member of the Squad is final, and it will take effect when you sign it, and by the way, I will also be a member of the Squad in the future. Arrin's laughter surprised Elena, who had just returned.

In fact, Arrlin's implication is that Joyce must have acquired some kind of mysterious trait to become an official member of the squad.

"Joyce, tonight's working meal is Newman paella. Nellie Novia had only visited Joyce at Rossi Surgical Hospital in the afternoon, and she had some realized why he had come back a day earlier.

"Two copies, thank you. ”

Joyce took Elena to sit at the bar and said embarrassedly to Nellie.

"It's not just the case of the continuous disappearance of the street girl, but even the case of Miss Caroline's kidnapping, the commissioner has also handed it over to us, this time it's not just the two of us, as official members of the task force, with the permission of the commissioner, you can even mobilize military personnel and weapons. Arrin leaned aside and couldn't help but say to Joyce.

"Fat difference!"

Joyce could naturally recognize the origin of Yarlin's excitement, but he didn't say anything, and was rather calm on the surface.

"Elena, has there been any changes to your job now that Angela is in the hospital?" Joyce asked Elena, hoping that Arrin would see the fire and leave on his own.

"The reception on the second floor at night was first carried by Teressa, saying that a few people would come tomorrow. Elena came back to her senses and said what had been arranged.

"How many?"

Joyce was surprised, thinking that secret cultivation was not something that could be recruited by just talking about it.
