Chapter 413 Further Study
Luo Fu's plan had to be terminated in the evening.
Although he found some clues, when he was calling the branch to request more manpower support, he received news that the branch was attacked by a supernatural creature!
Fang Xian did not show up during this attack, so the conclusion given by the Secret Keeper Branch was that a supernatural creature attacked the branch for unknown reasons.
And although he held back, besides Ketian, there were still some unlucky people who were killed or injured.
Most investigators speculated that this was revenge from the Fallen Star Cult, and were outraged by it.
When encountering such a thing, all investigations had to be put aside. Fang Xian and Luo Fu returned to the branch to participate in disaster relief activities.
…
Fang Xian and Luo Fu worked together to move a huge rock, and saw the dark pool of blood underneath, and they remained silent.
"A supernatural creature... suspected to be a bird without legs?"
Luo Fu took a deep breath and said, "The Falling Star Cult knows how to summon it?"
Fang Xian was speechless for a moment.
The Falling Star Cult was caught in the crossfire again and had no choice but to take the blame.
However, he knew very well how many factions there were within the cult, but perhaps even they themselves were not clear about it.
Perhaps, some members have heard the call of the broken-winged bird and then believed in it. It is not impossible.
Therefore, it is a big basket that can hold anything.
"What I'm more curious about is that... the branch seems to be somewhat inadequate in dealing with this ..." Fang Xian took the opportunity to ask, "Hasn't this kind of thing happened before?"
"Of course not! The pagans are just a bunch of rats in the sewer. How dare they confront us head-on? Even if they have some abnormal powers, we can solve them as long as we take sedatives and use guns..."
Luo Fu seemed a little confused: "In recent years, the number of cases involving abnormal powers has skyrocketed. Various beliefs have emerged one after another. Traces of supernatural activities can be seen everywhere. Sometimes, even I am shaken... Is everything we do in vain? "
"It seems that the more experienced investigators all know about the prophecy of the end of the world?"
Fang Xian's heart moved.
In his opinion, the day when the stars return to their original positions and the ancient ruler returns, it is indeed possible.
By then, it would be a real disaster for humanity, and the secret keeper's persistence would be meaningless.
Investigators have dealt with pagans many times and will definitely know this.
They may have never doubted it before, but starting from the last few years, abnormal forces have surged and various sects have begun to stir, which is enough to show that they have obtained extraordinary power.
Recently, there were even some evil people who dared to attack the branch!
Fang Xian certainly would not admit that he had done it, but when he thought of Xara, the bald old man, and the foreign sect, he knew that the power of the pagans had indeed grown a lot.
However, the secret keepers who stubbornly cling to the old ways are gradually falling behind.
Perhaps before, relying on powerful weapons and the support of the country, the Secret Keeper could have dealt with all the evil organizations that emerged.
But now, it is probably impossible without using supernatural powers.
"But the Secret Keeper has a very strong foundation. Even if they start , they are still the largest force!"
Fang Xian's eyes flickered: "Among them... maybe there is a chance for me."
"Why do you say that?" He pretended to be ignorant and asked blankly.
"I have wiped out many sects. Some of them were huge organizations, while others only had a few people. However, they all preached the existence of doomsday, and the time was even very close, just three years later, around 1605 in the Black Iron Calendar. Don't you think this is strange? They all belonged to different sects and believed in different evil existences. There was absolutely no connection..."
Love lowered his voice.
"There are indeed some abnormalities... What does the headquarters say?" Fang Xian asked.
"Headquarters... Headquarters' attitude is to block and keep secrets!" Luo Fu curled his lips. "But in the past, this has proven to be very useful... Now? Headquarters will definitely strengthen the abnormal power training of investigators in the future... Well, this time there is a group of investigators with excellent performance in the branch who can go to the headquarters for further training. I have registered your name."
"Um?"
Fang Xian looked up suddenly.
"Times have changed..." Luo Fu hunched over with an old look, looking up at the sky with a look of melancholy. "Now... if you master some supernatural powers, you may be able to protect yourself and not be helpless when facing real evil... I know you have a few spells, but what use are they to the evil pagans? For example, this one today... In addition to that, you need to learn to control and resist, and minimize the impact of using power on you. This requires learning..."
"I understand. I'll go."
Fang Xian nodded solemnly, but he had never expected that such a good thing would happen.
It seems that the "pagans' brazen attack on the Secret Keeper branch" had a far-reaching impact, causing the Secret Keeper's top brass to change some of their policies?
Besides, if Ketian hadn’t died, such a good thing would never have happened to him.
Although, in the eyes of some old-school investigators, this is not a good thing.
…
The Secret Keeper's headquarters, located somewhere in the Myster Islands.
If you take a boat from Orsay, it will take about a week to reach your destination.
Dock area.
Fang Xian was wearing a dark coat, a scarf, a black round hat, and carrying a suitcase, waiting silently for ticket checking and boarding the ship.
The ferry he is going to take, named 'Heart of the Sea', will depart today and head to Manker Port in the Myster Islands.
After getting off the boat there, he could then head to the Secret Keeper's headquarters.
Fang Xian expressed his understanding that such a large organization as the Secret Keeper would have its headquarters on an island.
After all, it is a secret organization. Maybe they have collected some items with strong polluting effects. It is safer to stay away from people.
Love didn't lie.
This time, he did go to the Keeper's headquarters under the pretext of "further study and training".
"The attack on the Secret Keeper branch did cause some changes to the headquarters. Although it is impossible to turn around immediately, selecting outstanding investigators and training them in supernatural powers is a good start..."
"Besides, without Ketian in the branch, it's much easier for me... As expected, the last attack was a good move. As long as we don't get caught..."
Fang Xian pondered secretly, and looked at the situation of his "Apocalypse Sect" again.
As a secretive being, he is in no hurry.
The cult at this time is still in its infancy. It will be convenient to proceed to the second step only after those little guys who have had the adventure have truly called out the magical power and become obsessed with it.
