Inside the café.

"To re-introduce, I'm Sean from the Eleventh Bureau, and this is my boss - Horatio!"

Sean took a sip of coffee and smiled mischievously: "Brother...... Your secret has been discovered, but look away, it's okay. Like me, I thought they were going to send me to the lab for slices, but nothing ...... In addition to the fact that the training is hard, the salary is small, and there are no holidays...... The rest is bearable. ”

"Ahem......" Horatio coughed, telling Sean to shut up.

His face was well-defined, and his expression became serious little by little, as if he wanted to put pressure on Sulu with this: "We found out...... You've been very active in some circles lately! ”

"Yes...... I need to earn money to support my family and pay rent...... I have always obeyed the laws of the Federation. ”

Sulu replied calmly.

"We don't mean to blame you, but you must know that transcendents have a lot of psychological extremes and are prone to causing trouble, so they need to control ......"

Horatio's expression softened slightly: "I think...... Limited transparency and monitoring is good for both of us, don't you think? ”

He is confident that basically, as long as the transcendent is noticed by them, there is no choice.

"Cooperation? What a wonderful word! How to cooperate? ”

Sulu asked.

"You are honest with us about your profession and regularly report to us about the movements in the city's mysterious circles......"

Horatio said: "In return...... We guarantee your safety, provided you follow the law. ”

That is to say...... Want me to be an informant? ”

Sulu crossed his fingers with both hands: "Yes...... But you can't betray me, my information must be kept private. ”

"Wise choice!" Horatio shook Sulu's hand: "What is your profession?" ”

"Similar to [Spell Master], I am good at some occult rituals and gain power through spells......"

Sulu exposed his hubris.

"A part-of-the-road, profession that I didn't have before!"

Horatio quickly recorded: "Do you feel like you're being affected by madness, sometimes being particularly impulsive? ”

"No, how is that possible?" Sulu hurriedly shook his head.

……

After a few moments, he got up and left.

Sean stared at Horatio a little blankly: "That's it?" I think his origin is very questionable, and his identification was forged through the Shark Society......"

"Or else?"

Horatio rubbed his temples with a headache: "There will only be more and more such wild transcendents, and we can't catch them...... Limited cooperation and control are possible. Moreover...... It's rare to have an informant who can join the 'Shadow Council'...... He's got a lot of self-control and he's useful at the moment. ”

Sean immediately shut up.

The Council of Shadows, the circle of transcendents that almost coexists with Rory City, and is extremely repulsive to official forces.

Like a shadow in the sun, it has always coexisted with the city of Rory, and its tentacles have reached out to all sides.

Recently, the opponent's series of actions have made the eleventh game feel very tricky.

After all, the Church of Light on the West Coast doesn't have a strong influence, with only one chapel.

Moreover, not every city will send powerful professionals to garrison, and the church and the federation do not have so many manpower!

……

'Look...... Sean is having a lot of fun as an agent of the Eleventh Bureau, I hope he can always be safe......

Sulu sighed a little as he walked out of the café.

Eleven rounds are very dangerous! Its agents have to deal with all sorts of otherworldly events, many of which are deadly!

Even if it was himself, his hands were stained with the blood of some members of the other party.

"Fate......

After returning to the apartment, Sulu rubbed his eyebrows: "It's a pity...... My soul hasn't fully recovered yet, otherwise, there is a way to break the game......"

The seemingly calm city of Rory is actually turbulent.

Eleventh Innings, Council of Shadows, Margaret and the Demon Cultist, Owen's Nightmare...... This made Sulu understand that under the sweep of the transcendent tide, there was no truly peaceful paradise in the whole world.

The only thing that can really protect yourself is the power you have!

'Luckily...... I'm playing a little guy who knows a lot of mysteries, but has a very low rank...... No one really takes me seriously. ’

Sulu's body relaxed.

The following week was a quiet one.

He still wanders in and around Rory, searching for mysterious materials and traces of magical creatures suitable for hunting.

Aside from the fact that Owen had sent Kindham, the butler, to ask for a solution, and to bring an invitation to his twenty-fifth birthday party, nothing major had happened.

Soon, it was time for the 'Council of Shadows' to convene.

……

Twelve o'clock in the night.

Dressed in disguise, Sulu enters a sewer and navigates a labyrinthine route to the 'Hall of Shadows'!

"Welcome, scholar!"

The 'Holy Maiden' greeted with a smile, and she still chose to sit next to Sulu: "Today...... You will be faced with a choice. ”

"Do you accept the test to become a full member?"

Sulu nodded: "What's the benefit of being a full member?" Concrete? I have no plans to start a family, not at the moment! ”

He wasn't interested in any of the full members, and was just dragging it out for now.

"Many, many ...... For example, to really participate in the core secrets, to obtain voting rights in meetings that decide the future development of the city of Rory, and to hold a part of the secret authority of the city of Rory...... As for the more advanced transcendent materials and intelligence, it's just incidental! ”

The 'Holy Maiden' exhaled in Sulu's ear like a landy.

Sulu believes that this is what the 'Speaker' means.

Through his observations in the spiritual realm, he had discovered that this Shadow Council was not simple, and there were at least three fourth-level masters.

He is worthy of being the secret ruler of Rory City, able to resist and even suppress the local church and federal forces.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... I declare...... The party begins! ”

While Sulu was thinking, the personnel gradually arrived.

The 'Speaker' tapped on the table, and the voice echoed through the hall.

"First of all......" he looked at Sulu, "'Scholar', do you want to become a full member?" ”

"I want to know the contents of 'test' in advance!"

Sulu asked, pretending to be a little apprehensive.

"Hee-hee...... Rest assured, for newcomers, the task won't be too difficult! The 'Holy Maiden' comforted her: "But...... The choice must be made, to break with our hostile forces, to show one's attitude. ”

'I see......

Sulu probably knew that if his identity was true, as long as he attacked an official institution or hunted down an official transcendent, it would mean breaking with the official, and he would also face endless arrests and killings, and he could only take refuge under the Shadow Council.

'It's a pity...... You don't know that my face and identity are fake, and ...... Initiating madness to the six relatives did not recognize it, and the official transcendents had already killed more than a dozen......
