Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 31 The Church of Flesh and Blood!
"There are too many uncertainties in the 'supernatural world'."
"even……"
"It's a horror far beyond imagination."
"They are invisible and intangible, yet they are everywhere, and they appear without warning."
"When you face these things, you not only need strength, but also the courage to fight back. You also need to learn how to cooperate - at least, don't betray your companions."
Mrs. Burns raised her hand and said this.
Four flying knives immediately flew back and went into her sleeves.
Goethe and Kyle looked at Mrs. Burns in front of them with doubt and surprise.
The two men couldn't be sure whether what the old woman said was true.
After all, the other party's "moody mood" just now was still fresh in the two people's memory.
"rest assured."
"I'm not fooling you."
"Everything just now was a test."
Mrs. Burns said, clapping her hands.
Suddenly, the tightly closed door opened, and the housekeeper stood aside with a smile on his face.
The way out was opened.
Mrs. Pence showed her sincerity in this way, and Kyle breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not put down the revolver in his hand.
"test?"
"Does Morey know?"
Kyle asked.
Goethe held guns in both hands, one pointing at Mrs. Burns and the other at the middle-aged butler, and began to move slowly backwards.
Two steps later, Goethe had exited the room and was heading towards the corridor.
But Goethe did not stop.
He chose to continue retreating.
The corridor is not safe either, you have to at least retreat to the stairs.
Not only does the staircase lead directly to the first floor, but the window opposite the staircase also leads directly to the outside.
Breaking out through the window is a very good choice when you are forced to do so.
Goethe was familiar with such behavior.
He did this often when he was at home .
However, Goethe soon stopped.
because--
He saw Morey.
Morey, wearing a tuxedo and a top hat, was coming up from the first floor. When he saw Goethe, the official in charge of the extraordinary took off his hat and smiled.
"Morey!"
Looking at Morey who appeared, Kyle shouted in surprise.
Goethe frowned.
"I need an explanation."
Goethe said this without putting down the gun in his hand from beginning to end.
He has seen the fake Swart, but who can guarantee that the Morey in front of him is not fake?
"I'll explain it to you."
"Don't worry, I'm serious. I saw your information in the daily newspaper."
Morey guessed Goethe's thoughts and immediately said something that only the two of them knew. Then, this extraordinary official walked up to Mrs. Burns, who put her hat on her chest and saluted slightly with respect and guilt.
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
"For my own personal reasons, I have to ask you to come forward."
The official person in charge of the extraordinary things was full of apologies in his words.
"No need to say sorry."
"Why would I agree to that?"
"Of course, because I want to see more young people like them - just like you were back then."
Mrs. Burns answered .
This answer proves that the two have a close relationship.
"Next, I will give you ten minutes. During these ten minutes, you can use this classroom. After that, it will be my class time."
Mrs. Burns said this, and regained her serious look, and walked downstairs with her housekeeper.
After watching Mrs. Pence leave, Morey walked into the classroom.
Kyle followed immediately.
Goethe hesitated for a moment and then walked in.
"We don't have much time."
"Just to make it short."
"This is the 'Apprentice Secret Keeper' test."
"I'm glad you both passed."
Morey said, laughing.
The official person in charge of the extraordinary smiled with undisguised joy.
It was obvious that he was really happy for the two of them.
“It’s a test!”
Kyle stood there, scratching his head and smiling.
This smile is a little silly.
But Kyle himself didn't notice it at all. The young man just looked at Morey, and the respect and admiration in his eyes were tangible.
"Take Morey as your idol?"
Goethe was thoughtful. He had felt before that Kyle's attitude towards him was a little abnormal. Now it seemed that he had the answer.
As for the test that Morey mentioned?
Goethe fully approved of it, because compared to the childish invitation when Morey invited him to join the "Secret Keeper" before, this kind of test was more in line with his understanding of an official force: not too bloody, but maintaining enough "intensity".
But this did not prevent Goethe from continuing to test this "intensity".
"The 'Secret Keeper Apprentice' test... what happens if we fail?"
Goethe asked.
Kyle on the side also looked at Morey.
"The 'Secret Keeper' is very strict. Although there have been observations before, the real test is still necessary. If you fail, your memory will be wiped and you will return to your original life."
Morey replied, causing Goethe to nod slightly.
Maybe losing memory for a period of time is not a pleasant experience.
There are many sequelae afterwards.
But, at least, I'm still alive.
This is enough for most people.
"In a sense, it can be called gentle."
Goethe commented.
Kyle let out a breath of fear.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I passed, otherwise I would have forgotten Morey..."
Kyle muttered to himself.
Morey patted Kyle's shoulder, looked at Goethe again, and smiled again.
"Congratulations to both of you for becoming 'Apprentice Secret Keepers'."
"This is your 'Apprentice Secret Keeper Certificate'."
"With it, you can exercise some of the rights of the Secret Keeper, get the police to cooperate with the investigation, mobilize police forces, enter local official supernatural gatherings, etc. - Remember, it is not only your identity certificate, but also can give you a glimmer of hope at a critical moment."
"There's a small force field shield inside it that can withstand a close range gunshot."
As Morey spoke, he took out two black certificates and handed them to Goethe and Kyle respectively.
The certificate is the size of a palm. When opened, it contains a name and number.
Name: Goethe Wein.
Number: 0X0X2048
…
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
However, Goethe did not underestimate this thin document.
According to Morey, it is not only a proof of identity, but also a life-saving prop.
Kyle, who was standing by, happily put away the documents.
bite!
After Morey picked up the pocket watch and took a look at it, he went straight to Goethe and asked.
“Time is limited.”
"Goethe, you published information in today's newspaper. What did you discover?"
"Last night I was dreaming..."
Goethe began to tell the story in detail. Morey's face became serious as Goethe spoke. When Goethe talked about human skin, bones, and flesh, the official person in charge of the extraordinary in Luster showed a solemnity that Goethe had never seen before. Then, a term appeared in Goethe's ears -
"The Church of Flesh and Blood!"
