At the moment, although I have successfully joined the 'Exterminator', I have not received any assignments in the past week, but I have obtained a lot of information about the Order from Hotaru's hands.

According to her, these materials belong to the category of secret archives, but now that I am a member of their organization, they are in a position to share this information about the Order with me.

During this week, I was still living my ordinary routine, studying with July and Shiqing every day, but the news that I had joined the Exterminator shocked Drifter.

She didn't expect that I would be directly invited into it by Hunter, if it were divided according to the rank of the security team, I would be equivalent to her top boss as a reserve member.

Then she suddenly became respectful to me.

Seeing this, I told her helplessly that it was better to be like the past, and the drifting that I was familiar with in the past suddenly became like this to me, and I really couldn't accept it for a while.

Naturally, the news that I joined the Exterminator is currently only known to Piao Ling and Qiyue and Shiqing in the class, and I don't plan to disclose this news to others.

After that, the time of the day in front of me passed.

As the academy's classes ended today, July and I returned to our home in Syracuse.

It's nightfall, the breeze is light, and although it's a little chilly, it's acceptable.

I was about to leave the house and go to the cemetery, when I was interrupted by a phone call.

When I connected to this encrypted number, the voice of a firefly came from the receiver of the phone.

"Tonight, we have a mission to do, just you and me. ”

Hearing this, I perked up and replied, "Understand, where did we meet?"

Hotaru said to me through the receiver of the phone: "Well, there is still plenty of time at the moment, so we will meet at Maple Leaf Plaza, and I will tell you in detail about the specific matters of this operation and so on, so we will see you later." ”

Then, Hotaru hung up the call with me.

I snorted softly, cheering up the spirit, although this is my first mission after joining the Exterminator, but it must not be easy to complete, for what happens next, we must be cautious, now, Sister Tianwu has also returned home, as long as they stay in this residence, and there are members of the Exterminator secretly protecting, this must be a fairly safe place.

In this way, my worries are also cut off, and then, for this task, I can completely let go. “

Not wanting them to worry, I slipped out of the window of my room and went to the place I had agreed with Hotaru.

Half an hour later, I arrived at Maple Leaf Plaza as promised.

At this moment, Hotaru was already waiting for me under the maple tree.

The wind moved slightly, and the maple leaves fell down, and she stood under the tree like this, not knowing what she was thinking.

Then, with the sound of my footsteps, she looked at me and smiled.

Today, she is dressed in casual clothes, and in the eyes of ordinary people, she will not be associated with the 'Exterminator' in any way.

Then, when I walked up to her, I looked at her lightly, looked at her and said with a smile: "On the mission tonight, why didn't you wear the black combat uniform of that day, but a casual suit... And it's somewhat exposed..."

After hearing my words, Hotaru looked at me and said a little depressed, "I dressed up on purpose, but you didn't praise me, but you said such words..."

For a while, I smiled wryly: "That's really embarrassing..."

When my words fell, Hotaru looked at me and smiled, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, I'm curious about how I'm dressed today, right?"

Without a word, I nodded my head in affirmation.

Then, Hotaru put away her playful expression, looked at me with serious eyes, and said: "In the past week, in D City, there are many women of my age who have disappeared inexplicably, and after investigation, it has been determined that it is the Order. “

Hearing this, my eyes wrinkled slightly, "Why is this happening, what is the Order's purpose of taking those young women away?"

Hotaru continued, "The Ψ Order's research on the human body has never stopped, so you must have heard the term 'Ritual of True Knowledge' in your contact with the Order, right?"

I nodded and said, "Is that a ritual that uses some method to bestow attribute power on ordinary people?"

Hotaru nodded and said, "According to the information that the Exterminator has, the 'True Knowledge Ritual' is not easy to perform, and the types and quantities of materials it requires are also quite amazing, some of which are the human body, using it as a similar way of 'sacrifice', so that such an inexplicable power can descend and inject it into the bodies of ordinary people, so that they have that power that does not belong to them." ”

When I heard this, I was shocked and said, "What?! ”

Seeing my reaction, Hotaru looked at me and sighed, "At the same time, with the contributions made to the Order by those who have gained power through the 'Ritual of True Knowledge', they can continue to enjoy the 'Ritual of True Knowledge', so that their strength can be further improved, but the materials required are also multiplied. ”

Speaking of this, Hotaru looked at me curiously and said, "But I'm curious, where did this power of yours come from? But you can have the power of multiple numbers, no wonder they have never killed you, even though you have entered the Order's blacklist. ”

Seeing her curiosity, I looked at her and smiled and said, "Right now, my strength comes from the tearing of my heart. ”

Hearing this, Hotaru looked at me helplessly and said, "Hmph, pretending to be mysterious." ”

I smiled, looked at Hotaru and said, "Okay, let's talk about the next task, right?"

Hotaru hummed lightly, nodded to me and said, "Within the road area near Maple Leaf Plaza, there is the place where the most disappearances of women have occurred recently, and according to calculations and inferences, the members of the Order who should have abducted the woman today will be dispatched again, so for now, I am acting as a bait to lure her to appear, and at the same time lure it here, and then the two of us will join forces to defeat it."

That's why I didn't wear a combat uniform today, I can't do that guy alone, so I'll rely on you when the time comes..."
