Chapter 20 The Keeper

If you ask Goethe what kind of people he hates the most?

Then, those who practice mystery must be among the best.

Looking at Morey, who was still pretending to be the Riddler even though he was seriously injured, Goethe rolled his eyes.

Die to the Riddler!

Goethe, who was sitting there with his arms around his shoulders, asked angrily.

"Do you want me to guess?"

"Cough, cough, you don't have a sense of humor at all."

Morey coughed twice, looked at Goethe who seemed to have no intention of helping him, climbed up by himself, sat on the sofa, and continued: "I found the 'Mist Murderer' in Luster."

Lair!"

"Including his men, the entire lair was destroyed by me!"

"Moreover, the 'Mist Killer' was also seriously injured... more serious than mine!"

As he said that, Morey showed a smile.

"So that's it!"

Goethe understood almost instantly the plan of the 'Mist Killer' just now - pretending to be injured or really injured, but not paying attention to Morey behind him, and went straight back to his lair.

Then, at the expense of his hometown in Luster, Morey's return was delayed.

At the same time, let his men give him a fatal blow.

I have to say that the 'Mist Killer' is indeed cold-blooded, ruthless and willing to spend a lot of money.

Not only does he use his own lair and subordinates as 'bait' in the future, he can even use the opponent himself as 'bait'!

However, now all the money has been lost!

The nest was destroyed.

All his men were lost.

He was also seriously injured.

Goethe finally felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

But Goethe did not show any ease in front of Morey. On the contrary, he said in a deep voice.

"I used to live in 802."

"You were attacked?!"

Almost instantly, Morey reacted.

"Um."

"Luckily, I escaped."

Goethe nodded and tried to speak in a calm tone.

Morey looked at Goethe, and after four or five seconds, he continued.

"Feel sorry."

Morey looked apologetic.

At this time, Goethe shrugged.

"There is no need to apologize, we just have a cooperative relationship."

Seeing Goethe's relaxed look, Morey, who was in a special situation at this time, felt even more guilty.

You must know that a day ago, he had just promised to the other party to ensure the other party's safety as much as possible, but just now, faced with the flaw revealed by the 'Mist Killer', he had forgotten this.

If Goethe died because of this, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Fortunately such a thing did not happen!

Morey was thankful in his heart.

Then, the previous idea of ​​‘wanting to cooperate in depth with Goethe’ became clearer and clearer.

No!

It’s more ‘deep’!

"Of course it's necessary."

"I have said before that we will cooperate more deeply in the future."

"And now you have proved that you have such ability, even far beyond."

"so……"

"I hope you'll join us."

Morey emphasized, and then extended the invitation.

Looking at Morey's sincere expression, Goethe wondered whether he had overacted - it was clear that he was just a person who knew each other well. After giving each other steps, Morey solved the problem of lack of manpower, and he achieved it with easier conditions than before.

The purpose of learning 'extraordinary' knowledge.

But why does it feel like Morey is so easily 'bluffed' now?

Suddenly, Goethe felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He recalled every detail about Morey.

When we first met, he seemed uncomfortable talking to strangers and had a social phobia.

When they met for the second time, she dressed in women's clothing and looked perverted.

When we met three times, he became sincere, as if he was new to the world.

"This is……"

"Multiple personalities?"

Goethe guessed in his heart.

"Of course not!"

Seemingly guessing Goethe's thoughts, Morey directly denied it. Facing Goethe's surprised expression, he chuckled and said: "I was just affected - extraordinary power is far more complicated and weird than you think.

And...dangerous."

"Danger?"

"Will extraordinary power affect the user?"

Goethe frowned.

"Um."

"Most of the time, it's within control, but sometimes, it's uncontrollable."

"For example: using extraordinary power beyond one's own ability."

Morey explained.

"What exactly?"

Goethe asked.

Faced with such critical issues that may affect him, Goethe would not be vague.

"Get powerful power and use items in a short time!"

"The former is more complicated, and the latter?"

"Just like me!"

“When we first met, I used an ‘identification pocket watch’, which had the negative impact of ‘social phobia’.”

"And just now I drank the 'magic potion'. Under normal circumstances, I would only be interested in wearing women's clothing, but after I was injured, my personality became as sensitive and fragile as a lady, but also

Sentimental."

"Yes, sorry!"

"I don't want to forget my promise to protect you, but when faced with the opportunity to kill the 'Mist Murderer', I am completely...sorry...wuwuwu..."

As Morey spoke, he couldn't control himself, covered his face and started crying.

More importantly, the changing effect of the potion began to disappear.

Morey has returned to his original appearance again.

A middle-aged man with gray temples dressed in women's clothing sat on the sofa covering his face and crying...

Goethe felt inexplicably palpitated.

This is a more difficult situation to deal with than the previous attackers.

He frowned and sighed softly.

"It's not your fault."

"You're ready to make it up to me, aren't you?"

"right!"

"I'm already going to make it up to you!"

Morey raised his head as he spoke. His makeup was already stained with tears, and that face... made Goethe even more unbearable to look at.

Fortunately, the negative effects appear to be receding.

Morey regained control of his emotions again.

He sat up straight, looked at Goethe seriously, and extended the invitation again——

"As compensation from Goethe, I will be your introducer and invite you to join our organization."

"Of course, not a formal member."

"In the next 3-6 months, you will need to act as a non-staff member. Only when you complete the 'trainee period' will you go to the headquarters, pass the test, and become a full member."

"Of course, if you have 'talent', everything will become easier."

"talent?"

Goethe asked about the key points.

"right!"

"Those with talents will undergo a free 'baptism' at the headquarters and gain true 'extraordinary power'; while those with insufficient talents, or those with no talents, will have them after a series of training."

An additional opportunity. If you fail this time, you will need to accumulate merit and redeem yourself for a second 'baptism' opportunity."

"Only after failing twice will you be assigned to the auxiliary, logistics and other departments of the action team."

Morey replied firmly.

However, compared to just now, Morey, who had begun to recover at this time, was more vague in his words.

Goethe didn't care about this.

This is as it should be.

Just like if you don’t pay, how can you get anything in return?

If you don't join the organization in front of you, you won't be able to learn some of its secrets.

So, when faced with Morey’s third invitation——

"So, Goethe, will you join us?"

"willing."

Goethe answered very quickly and firmly.

Morey's is the only place where he can come into contact with and learn extraordinary power at this stage. There may be other places, but who can guarantee that other places will be better than Morey's?

At least, in Morey, who represented the official supernatural power, Goethe saw "order".

What's more, Goethe has not forgotten what Morey said, 'according to normal procedures, the memory will be erased', as well as those sequelae that he absolutely does not want.

threaten?

Maybe yes.

But what Goethe saw more was: opportunity!

Hearing Goethe's affirmative answer, Morey smiled.

The Luster official extraordinary person in charge stood up from the sofa with difficulty. His face was serious and his tone was solemn——

"We listen to secrets, we keep secrets, we receive secrets!"

"Secretkeeper, welcome!"
