As she walked out of Dunn Smith's office, Angel felt dizzy.

Although she had stayed up late into the night to complete the "Storm Gathering" the night before, and had exhausted her spirits, she felt that this was not the main reason.

Captain Dunn's temptation made her feel a little suspicious.

If you think about it as a night watcher, it is impossible for such a mysterious wild extraordinary person to be trusted in less than two weeks.

Of course, an "assassin" who obtained the potion from Mrs. Sharon of the "Witch Sect", but betrayed Mrs. Sharon and instead reported it to the official extraordinary, can be said to have completely offended the "Witch Sect" and has nowhere to go, and it is reasonable to join the night watch in order to protect himself.

But on the other hand, maybe this is a ploy of the "Witch Sect"? A ruse to drive a wedge into the Church of the Night Goddess?

That being said, sacrificing a Sequence 6 powerhouse is too sacrificial......

But the point is on the Night Watchman, and it's how the Church of the Night Goddess views this.

The thought kept in her head, Angel came to the reception room in a daze, today Roxanne is on vacation, and Bright is on duty in the reception room instead of her, unlike Miss Roshan who likes to make a pot of coffee and read the newspaper, Bright is a person who can't be idle, he will diligently clean the reception room spotlessly when he is on duty, and his tone is more formal when treating other night watchmen, he is more like a housekeeper than the clerical staff of night watch.

"Good morning, Miss Granger, it's a nice day."

Seeing Angel walk out of the partition, he put down the broom in his hand and said hello with a smile.

"Today's newspaper is on the coffee table, and the coffee will have to wait a little longer."

"Good morning, Mr. Bright."

Angel greeted the thick-bearded middle-aged man, and his eyes swept over the reception room to see that no one else was there.

"Mr. Klein Moretti is on his own day today." Bright thought he had guessed who Angel was looking for, and said first.

"No...... I'm not ......."

Angel shook his head, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, his behavior has been relatively fixed these days, and he and Klein go to the shooting club every morning to practice, is it wrong for others to misunderstand something?

"The captain is in the office, as you must already know, Mrs. Oriana has been to the bank and will not be back until noon." Seeing Angel's denial, Bright reported the whereabouts of the others one by one, "Kornley and Frye have gone on patrol in the West End, Ms. Luo Yao is on duty at 'Chanis Gate' today, and Mr. Neil is still in the old place." ”

"Thanks, I see."

What "knows", Angel herself doesn't understand, she is now preoccupied, and only subconsciously answers.

When she came to her senses, she had returned to the back of the partition and walked down the hallway to the room at the end, where there was only a staircase leading to the basement, and the morning sun rose outside the window, and the sunlight shone in, dyeing the room golden.

When it came, she simply walked down the stairs to the basement, ready to go to Old Neil's to collect the training bullets, which became almost a daily routine.

The gas lamps in the underground passages burned day and night, spreading their light in all directions, and the flickering light of the fire made the Sacred Emblem of the Night on the walls shake as if they were alive. Angel walked slowly, only the sound of her own footsteps echoing in the quiet passage.

How many times have you been to the basement?

She recalled the first time she was taken to the basement by Roshan, that time she also went to the arsenal to find old Neil, in just one week, she was so familiar with the Black Thorn Security Company?

Dunn Smith's deep voice still echoed in his ears: "Would you like to officially join the Tingen Market Value Nightsmen?" ”

yes, would you like to?

She had pondered this question when Dunn invited her on the night she killed Mrs. Sharon, but her experience as an informal member during this time had given her some new ideas.

Coming to the intersection of the underpass, Angel did not turn right and went directly to the weapons depot, but stood at the intersection.

Using the background of the dimly lit hallway leading to Chanis's Gate, she sketched a simple table in her mind, with the disadvantages of officially joining the night watchman on the left and the benefits on the right, separated by a dotted line in the middle. This is the way she is used to thinking when she encounters a problem, and it is better to write it on paper, but now that she has no pen and paper at hand, Angel goes straight to her thoughts.

The first is the loss of freedom, and she fills in the first word in the form on the left.

According to Dunn Smith, the official members of the night watchman are not allowed to leave Tingen without consent, that is, they can only move in their own jurisdiction, and it must be difficult to obtain approval, and most of their time will be spent in this fixed area.

Not only spatial freedom, but also temporal and psychological freedom. Unless, like Neal Sr., he enters old age, loses most of his combat ability, and becomes a civilian member, the official night watchman can be said to be almost lifelong, unlike a civilian member like Roshan, and once he joins, there is no turning back.

Otherwise, it is "defection".

Then there was "regulation," and she filled in the second word.

While she could now sense Dunn Smith's wariness of her, it was perhaps habitual, and aside from a few glances and tentative words, Dunn was acting like a captain expecting a new member to join.

But after becoming a full member, he may face the scrutiny and supervision of the entire Night Goddess Church, including the mysterious "Holy Church", can his shoddy identity really withstand the church's investigation?

She didn't think that the Church was armed with the Extraordinary, the "Night Watchman" was a strict organization, whether it was to prevent the Extraordinary from getting out of control or to prevent members from defecting, the internal censorship and supervision would only be stricter than when they joined.

Once an anomaly is discovered after becoming a full member, what awaits you is not as simple as dismissal.

Angel remembered the wanted notice she saw a few days ago, an archbishop who defected three years ago, and took away important seals of the church, as if he was called Zang or something?

However, this is a high-ranking archbishop, and a little minion like himself is estimated to have been disposed of casually, and he is not qualified to be wanted by the church.

Stopping her divergent thinking, Angel filled the table in her mind with a third word: danger.

This is also what Dunn Smith clearly mentioned, as an official member of the Night Watch and an expert in hand-to-hand combat such as the "Assassin", he will inevitably participate in the fight against the Extraordinary Criminals and various occult events in the future, and will probably have to fight on the front line.

The risk is obvious, ordinary crime cases will be handled by the Tingen City Police, and only vicious cases or those with extraordinary factors will be transferred to the hands of church forces such as night watchmen, which means that the low-difficulty tasks have been screened in advance, and they will face high-difficulty and high-risk tasks. And as long as it involves the case of the extraordinary, the lowest is also sequence 9, that is, the level you are in.

Thinking of the same Sequence 9 Assassin I met in the "General Request" I received last week, if I officially joined the Night Watcher, I would probably often encounter such an opponent, even a Sequence 6 powerhouse like Lady Sharon, and it would take several Night Watch Men to fight together to have a chance of winning.

Once you miss, you are not harder than ordinary people, a bullet and a dagger can end your life in an instant.

Don't look at Dunn, Leonard and others commuting to work every day like civil servants, but Angel learned from Rosanne that the official extraordinaries of the three major churches in Göttingen are dying or out of control almost every year, and Roshan's father, an official night watchman, died on duty five years ago.

Considering that the Night Watch has only six full-fledged members in the city of Tingen, and that the Substitute Punisher and the Machine Heart are similarly staffed, this mortality rate is already quite staggering.

Ah, yes, and out of control......

Angel added another note to the table on the left.

This is not an exclusive risk for those who join the Nightwatch, any extraordinary person, whether it is when taking potions to be promoted, or during ordinary battles, or even inadvertently touching mysterious objects and being stimulated by some kinds, may lose control at any time and become a monster with mental death and physical collapse.

According to Dunn Smith, a quarter of the extraordinary events that the city of Tingen handles each year are out of control.

After thinking about it, Angel still crossed out this article, even if she didn't officially join the night watch, the possibility of getting out of control would always be with her, an extraordinary person, and it was not fair to classify it as a risk of joining the night watch.

Cole Granger, Angel's "predecessor", died uncontrollably while taking the Sequence 7 "Witch" potion. Unlike the creepy runaway scenes recorded within the Night Watcher, it is already a miracle that she only excretes some of her traits and returns to the "Assassin" of Sequence 9 instead of becoming a corpse.

Thinking of his potion sequence, Angel filled in the last item in the form, "Limit of Increasing Strength".

The Church of the Night Goddess has mastered a complete potions path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, starting with the "Sleepless", which is the potions path of Dunn Smith, Leonard Mitchell and others, and most Night Watchers choose this sequence for a very simple reason: as long as they complete the tasks step by step and contribute to the church, they don't need to worry about the follow-up potions.

The Church also has some incomplete sequences, such as Frye's "The Corpse Collector" and Klein's "The Fortune Teller", but does not include the subsequent potion recipes for the "Assassin" path. And the self who has become an extraordinary person takes potions of other sequences, no matter how many sequences there are, it will inevitably lead to loss of control, which can be said to be a dead end.

Of course, thanks to Cole Granger's memories, she already knows the potion recipes for Sequence 8 "The Instigator" and Sequence 7 "The Witch", and as long as the timing is right and she has fully mastered and digested the power of the Assassin's potion, she can consider promotion.

But the premise of all this is how to explain where you got the recipe for the subsequent potion.

If you are a wild extraordinary, alone, you can patiently collect potion materials and promote at a later date, but once you join the Night Watcher, it is impossible for you to hide the changes in your strength from your teammates who get along day and night, and you will either stay in Sequence 9 all the time, or continue to promote at the risk of exposure, which is a risky option.

Looking at the downside of the row to the left of the "form" that had joined the night watch, Angel almost wanted to go back to Dunn Smith's office to reject him.

Let's move on to the "benefits......

Angel resisted the urge and turned her gaze to the right.
