Old Henry glanced at Su Changxing, nodded, and said:
"Hmm, do you want to beco an Extraordinary? I can be your guide. Do you know why my daughter could beco an Imperial Police officer? That’s because she is an Extraordinary too."
He was almost certain Su Changxing was just an ordinary person with Extraordinary talent, which had only recently erged.
Su Changxing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don’t like all that fighting and killing stuff."
Old Henry smirked and said, "But you’re a butcher..."
Su Changxing found Old Henry’s words quite reasonable and candidly said, "Although I’m a butcher, that’s just a job... Besides, you make it feel so unofficial. Before, a Priest asked if I wanted to join the Spirit Awakening Class."
Old Henry suddenly sat up from the bench, sowhat agitated, and said:
"I advise you, even if you don’t beco an Extraordinary, not to join the Spirit Awakening Class. That would just make you lose yourself and beco soone else’s lackey."
"A lackey?" Su Changxing asked, sowhat confused.
Old Henry nodded affirmatively and said:
"Yes, a lackey. You will lose your most precious freedom... Being an Extraordinary isn’t all that great. Of course, if you can be a free Extraordinary, that’s not bad either."
Su Changxing pretended to think for a while and said, "Aren’t many free Extraordinary people criminals? Like that murderer currently wanted in the town these days."
"You’re very smart, just like I was when I was young." Old Henry couldn’t help but praise.
Su Changxing glanced at him and said grumpily, "When you complint , can you avoid including yourself?"
To agree with Henry or not, that’s a question.
Perhaps he could thus beco a legitimate Extraordinary rather than a murderer, a Bloody hand Butcher.
Henry took the pipe from his mouth, placed it on the table, and continued:
"Think it over yourself; you have a lot of talent... Don’t tell anyone about this, and if you don’t agree, just pretend like nothing happened."
The light in his eyes gradually dimd.
Su Changxing nodded, remained silent for a while, then said, "Hmm, I’ll think about it... By the way, where’s your daughter? I haven’t seen her. Is the Imperial Police so busy? Working all night without sleep and during the day too."
Henry paused and said, "No, she’s sleeping."
Su Changxing raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm? Do Extraordinary people need to sleep too?"
Henry nodded and said, "Of course, Extraordinary individuals are still human. Are you interested in my daughter? I said she’s very pretty... But if you beco an Extraordinary, I won’t play matchmaker for you two."
Su Changxing glanced at Henry and calmly said, "Boss, a cup of coffee with milk and sugar, please, and another shot."
"Alright." Henry said with a smile.
Soon after.
Lina walked out from inside, still wearing that black coat, looking at Su Changxing with a hint of surprise and said:
"Hmm? You’re here again? You really have a strong spirit, not sleeping all night and still going to pray."
She noticed the grayish-white plain clothes Su Changxing was wearing.
"I am a devout believer," Su Changxing said candidly.
Lina sized up Su Changxing and said flatly, "Doesn’t seem like it."
Su Changxing said sternly, "Miss, desecrating or undermining soone’s faith is illegal, as a police officer, you should know that."
Lina was montarily speechless, then changed the subject and said, "Mr. Klein, I checked your background, and it’s very clean. Interested in joining the Imperial Police?"
anwhile, Henry glared at Lina.
Lina didn’t seem to care, continued, "We offer the best benefits, and there’s even a chance to beco part of the Nobility... I overheard part of your conversation inside."
So you were eavesdropping all along... Su Changxing was a bit surprised, if Lina hadn’t ntioned it, he wouldn’t have noticed, since Perception wasn’t his strength.
Henry grunted, "Lina, eavesdropping isn’t a good habit."
Lina was indifferent and said, "As police, we often do this sort of thing."
Are these two not on the sa track?
Su Changxing showed a surprised expression, looking at Lina, and said, "Can I beco an Imperial Police officer?"
Lina shook her head and said nonchalantly:
"Not imdiately, but you’ll enter a preparatory group, like half an Imperial Police officer, though it’s a very dangerous job you should consider carefully."
Very familiar feeling.
Ordinary people can’t touch the Extraordinary, but if they et the conditions to beco an Extraordinary, they soon get drawn into this system through various channels.
Su Changxing suspected that the so-called "Bloody hand Butcher" was also guided by soone, because Klein was indeed a nice guy before, but becoming a murderous maniac wouldn’t seem too surprising either.
Who was the person who sent him letters?
"I can consider it too... By the way, did you catch that murderer?" Su Changxing took a sip of coffee, asking casually.
Lina thought for a bit and said, "No, there’s no news yet."
Su Changxing imdiately asked, "Weren’t you here to catch the culprit? Now that it’s solved, are you leaving?"
Lina paused, glanced at Su Changxing, and said, "No rush, we’re just here for a vacation."
Truly a conveniently strained reason... Su Changxing inwardly scoffed, smiling, and said, "So you’re going to work now as well?"
Lina nodded and said, "Yes, I still have things to do, so I’ll be off."
Henry looked at Lina, reminded, "Be careful and don’t do anything foolish."
"I know, I’m not a child... I’ll be back in a few days." Lina rolled her eyes, sowhat helplessly.
Su Changxing watched Lina’s departing back and asked puzzled, "Didn’t she just return? Why is she leaving again."
Henry seed a bit unhappy and said, "Work, of course, or did you really think it’s a vacation? I always disagreed with her becoming an Imperial Police officer."
"Where is she going?" Su Changxing rubbed his chin, asking casually.
Henry thought for a mont and said, "Seems like to Mo’an Manor, said there was a major murder case involving hundreds of deaths."
Mo’an Manor?
Su Changxing stood up, said nonchalantly, "In that case, I’ll be off too. Got a busy day at the farm."
Henry stood up with him, took out an Ancient Bronze Pendant from his pocket, and handed it to Su Changxing, saying:
"Go back, think it over, tell tomorrow. Joining the Imperial Police is definitely a wrong choice... Trust ."
