"Oh, I, I understand... Father."
"Then you can go."
Maryse was silent for a long time, nodded and turned to leave.
She was in a daze and didn't even know how she got back to her room.
The fate-changing thing happened so suddenly that Maryse couldn't come back to her senses in a short time.
Maryse suddenly understood why her father had not allowed her to go to school or contact outsiders, and even more strictly prohibited anyone from revealing the things that she could listen to.
Because I am the secret weapon!
That's great, hahahaha... I'm so awesome!
"Woo..."
Maryse curled up on the edge of the big bed, choking and sobbing for a long time. It was the feeling that she tried her best to hold back but couldn't. The tears finally fell down like a broken thread.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a heat on her back, and it was getting hotter and hotter.
The familiar black fog had arrived around her at some point, and Maryse felt a sharp pain in her back, as if something was piercing into her soul.
Another Tower of Babel messianic thing
Maryse was sweating profusely in pain but could not resist, and clenched her little hands.
But for some reason, she also felt a sense of release in her heart. Her brain, which was empty due to the severe pain, would no longer think about...about her family, her father, and herself.
Golden lines are gradually engraved on Mary's smooth and white back, showing a pattern like a leather-armored female warrior holding a spear and shield.
Give her a powerful divine power that mortals must look up to!
But just like the civilization-level relic "Nix's Shield", today's Marys cannot fully release the terrifying power of the sacred pattern "Athena".
She took off all her clothes, stood in front of the mirror in the room, turned sideways and looked at the golden lines on her back.
A mysterious existence that claims to be the savior. I don’t know who you are and what your real purpose is.
However, since you are confident that you can save the world.
So... can you also save me
I want to leave this family.
Chapter 39: Moon Annihilation Witch
A few days later, Bai Yan came to the Demon Enforcement Bureau building as promised.
This building is right next to the government building. People usually don't know what it does here.
Until now, Bai Yan finally knew that this was an official extraordinary organization.
Aaron also came to the door of the Anti-Demon Bureau, smiled, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Bai Yan, in fact, logically speaking, it is impossible for someone like you to directly join the Anti-Demon Bureau."
"What do you mean by a person like me?" Bai Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "People who are more handsome than you are not qualified, right?"
Aaron shook his head and said: "No, no, no, if you were judged like that, you would be qualified."
"I'm talking about ordinary people. They don't have extraordinary powers, and they haven't received professional training. If you think about it carefully, can the official extraordinary organization just let ordinary people like you join?"
Bai Yan nodded slightly and asked: "Theoretically, it's impossible. There must be a threshold for public employment, so why do you swear that you can let me enter the Demon Enforcement Bureau?"
"Because there is an exception clause."
Aaron and Bai Yan entered the building together, and continued to explain on the way: "As long as there are two 'first-level night watchmen' as guarantees, any one of them can be eligible to apply to become a night watchman of the Anti-Demon Bureau."
"Even if this person does not have extraordinary powers and has not received special training, he will still have the possibility of becoming a Night Watcher. This rule is often applicable to recruiting certain... special talents."
"Wait a minute, how do you solve the problem of loyalty?"
Bai Yan immediately raised the most important question. He had always felt that the most important thing for an organization on the order side was loyalty rather than strength.
No matter how talented some criminals are, they are just criminals. Making fundamental mistakes is a huge problem.
Aaron calmly added: "There are rituals and contracts... That thing is much more useful than empty words of loyalty."
The inner ghost Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of contract is it that you need to sign to become a night watchman? Can you never hide anything from your superiors? Or should you say that you must abide by everything your superiors say?" some type of?"
Aaron shook his head and explained: "It's just a 'no betrayal' contract. The two contracts you mentioned were actually used for a period of time in history. Later, they were abolished after a series of changes."
"Of course, when many incidents need to be reported, the 'no lying' contract will still be activated temporarily, but in daily life, if everyone is always subject to this unfortunate contract, it will be very painful, and it will even lead to many unnecessary accidents. ... ... Awkward."
Bai Yan can understand how in a society where people are connected through "emotional intelligence", a contract that forces people not to lie is not conducive to unity and friendship.
At least incidents of insulting superiors will increase dramatically.
"So that's it, I understand."
He nodded slightly. In this case, there was a lot of room for maneuver, and there was no need to worry about exposing his identity.
In fact, Bai Yan was already ready to turn around and leave just now.
There were many people coming and going in the Anti-Devils Bureau building, all wearing black and white suits, and many of them greeted Aaron with "enthusiasm."
"Scum! Bah!"
The passing woman frowned and immediately stayed a long distance away from Aaron.
Bai Yan couldn't help but said: "Your reputation has obviously deteriorated to a certain extent."
Aaron laughed and said meaningfully: "You don't understand at all. This is the effect I want!"
He continued: "Now, I am going to take you to see someone. She must be persuaded to give you a real chance to join the Anti-Demon Bureau."
The two got on the elevator.
After a while, they came to an office on the third floor.
This office with white walls and black tables and chairs is not particularly spacious, but it is filled with many green plants and has a faint scent of tea floating around.
Bai Yan felt very relaxed as soon as he came here, as if he wanted to say everything.
A woman in a black slim-fitting dress sat behind her desk, calmly drinking black tea.
Her skin is obviously fair and different from ordinary people. The evening dress that wraps around her body reveals her delicate collarbones. She has long pure white hair that reaches below her buttocks. There are emerald green butterfly hair accessories beside her ears. Her eyelashes are also white, and her black pupils are slightly purple. The smile on his face gave him a subtle sense of friendliness.
Bai Yan was slightly startled, feeling very familiar.
Aaron spread his hands and introduced: "Qin Subai, the witch of Yue Yan, the special advisor of the Demon Enforcement Bureau."
It's actually her? Bai Yan's scalp was numb and he didn't want to stay any longer.
Qin Subai smiled, shook her head and spoke with a clear and melodious voice: "I am not a real witch, just an ordinary observer."
"Is he the ordinary person you want to recruit?"
She looked at Bai Yan, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him.
"Yes, although he looks ordinary and unremarkable, he is not even one-tenth as handsome as me." Aaron emphasized his appearance, paused, and continued: "But this guy has great potential. I hope he becomes a night watchman.”
Qin Subai didn't give any face, and said with a smile: "I see, but in my opinion, he is actually more handsome than you."
"..."
Aaron didn't know how to answer the call for a moment.
Bai Yan smiled and said: "I am Bai Yan, this is the first time we meet. Hello."
Qin Subai looked at him with a smile and responded: "Qin Subai, for the time being, is the special advisor of the Chenhai Anti-Demon Bureau, which is equivalent to the first-level night watchman. However, my staff is not here, but 'holding the sword'."
"Holding a sword?"
Aaron immediately interjected: "Zhijian is an elite department formed by elites from all over the country. Everyone has great potential. Most of those who can survive can reach high positions in the Anti-Demon Bureau. "
Whether it was the director of the Anti-Demon Bureau of Chenhai City or the ace Lin Bian, they were once members who held swords.
Qin Subai stood up and walked towards Bai Yan. The distance between them became shorter and shorter, but she did not stop until her nose was close to his cheek.
Bai Yan stood there with no intention of retreating, just letting the other person walk towards him.
He wanted to see what the other party was going to do
She closed her eyes and moved her small nose slightly.
"Well, I smell... your essence."
A smile appeared on Qin Subai's face, her eyes met with Bai Yan's, and the two looked at each other for a long time.
Bai Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was something very special and unusual in the other person's eyes.
It seems...pleasant
Qin Subai smiled slightly and explained: "This is my innate power of 'recognition'. It is a very weak but interesting ability. It can identify a person's essence through smell."
Aaron asked curiously: "You said that I am essentially a liar, so what is his essence?"
"To be precise, your essence is actually a 'liar who longs for truth'."
Qin Subai corrected him and continued: "As for the nature of this man, I don't want to say it, but I decided to promise you that I can recommend him with you."
"Oh, okay, that's good."
Aaron was actually still very curious, but he also knew that since he told people this, he would definitely not be able to ask.
My essence? Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
What kind of person am I
This woman was very interested in him and acted very easy-going and friendly.
But Bai Yan had a very strong sense of crisis, even if the other party gave him a very good "first impression" in reality.
Because he knew who the "Witch of the Moon" was from the beginning!
Although the other party didn't know him, Bai Yan got to know her as early as the first episode of "Tower of Babel"!
The Moon Annihilation Witch is one of the core operators of the Tower of Babel who can be drawn. She is already a famous wise man in the background story.
At the same time, she is also the most famous betrayer of the Demon Enforcement Bureau in decades!
The witch of Yue Yan will choose to betray and leave the Demon Hunting Bureau in all routes!
Although there is a contract to maintain loyalty such as "no betrayal", in the infinite multiverse, everything is never truly absolute.
Bai Yan clearly remembered one of the characteristics of the Moon Annihilation Witch.
"The world of domination."
She likes people as people like dogs.
The Witch of the Moon has a unique world view, believing that everyone in the world has a relationship of domination and being dominated, and does not recognize the existence of "equality".
This woman will either be collared or someone else will be collared.
"what's on your mind?"
Qin Subai suddenly spoke, smiling and staring at the thoughtful Bai Yan, her beautiful eyes seemed to see through him completely.
"It's nothing, it's just because you are so beautiful that I haven't come back to my senses." Bai Yan said nonsense seriously.
Qin Subai said calmly: "I will be your recommender from now on, Mr. Bai Yan. You must know how to repay kindness and don't think of betraying me."
Aaron patted Bai Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Although I have always been a little biased towards this witch lady, she actually often provides private help to colleagues and strangers. The vigil in the Anti-Demon Bureau admires her. There are many.”
"She is a truly good person, Bai Yan. You must have a good relationship with her from now on."
He thought for a while and added: "Of course, let's forget about pursuing her. It is impossible for Cricket Baiyan to succeed."
"Well, I understand." Bai Yan said vaguely: "Thank you for recommending me."
"It turns out that Mr. Bai Yan is very wary of me." Qin Subai said in a disappointed tone: "I obviously haven't done anything to you, I just promised to be your recommender."
Bai Yan smiled, feeling like he was seen through by Xiao Xiao.
He really didn't want to stay here any longer, not even for a short while. The other party was analyzing him all the time.
The Moon Annihilation Witch, who has "cognition", can easily see through people's shallow thoughts. No one knows that she actually does it through her natural power. They only think that Qin Subai is a super master in psychology.
She hides too much from her companions, and only Bai Yan knows the secrets through "Tower of Babel".
When Bai Yan was about to bring up the idea of leaving, Qin Subai nodded slightly in advance and said, "Well, we will see you again in the future, Mr. Bai Yan."
