Chapter 86 New Colleagues

"It's not easy," Mycroft said with interest:

"Most of the Transcendents of the Pure White Eye path seem to be a little confused because of their beliefs, but Ms. Catherine is one of them. She is very humane, and she always lacks confidence in her abilities, so she especially likes to do Some chores to show your worth.

"In addition, she is also a good friend of Her Majesty the Empress. As we all know, our Majesty does not like the complicated rituals in the Anglican Church, so Sister Catherine, who is very casual about her faith, has become her bosom friend."

"Sounds like it's not difficult to get along with?" Sherlock said deliberately.

"It shouldn't be more difficult to get along with than you," Mycroft shrugged, looked at Di Renjie and continued, "The power of the pure white eye is sacred and pure, and has unique advantages in exorcism, purification and healing. She will become your Your right-hand man, Mr Watson."

"Very looking forward to it."

Di Renjie responded with a smile, and was about to scroll down again, when McCoff stretched out his hand and pointed to the document in his hand:
"Actually, it doesn't matter to other people. You will have enough time to get to know them later. The most important thing right now is to get to know these people."

McCoff took the document from Di Renjie's hand and pulled out five pages.

The first is Lamb's resume, and the second is Catherine's. Di Renjie has already read these two.

The third one introduces a man named Samuel, who is 52 years old, but looks much older than 52 years old.

"The third level, the path to the bottomless abyss, necromancer?" Di Renjie quickly extracted the key words from the document, and then asked in surprise.

"That's right, Samuel is one of the few supernatural beings with an official identity on the path to the abyss. This matter is very complicated. In fact, Samuel's original identity was an eyeliner arranged by the government in the Land of Never Sleeping. During the mission, he was guided to embark on the path of the bottomless abyss. Although in the end he succeeded in breaking down a stronghold in the Land of Never Sleeping in an operation, and then returned to the team of the Bureau of Secrecy, his extraordinary strength has been finalized , there is no possibility of changing the route." Mycroft said in a complicated tone:
"The practice of the bottomless abyss path needs to constantly create pain and tragedy. This kind of path is definitely difficult for the government, but Samuel himself is indeed outstanding, so we came up with a compromise method, letting him serve as a prison for serious criminals. Warden, sometimes acting as executioner, which gave him a fitting place in the ranks of the imperial civil service."

"It's embarrassing," said Di Renjie thoughtfully, "so he will also be responsible for these two aspects of work in the future?"

"That's right, in the current functional design of the department, in addition to the white tower responsible for tactical mobility and daily management, it is currently planned to use four auxiliary towers in the middle wall, which are the green towers responsible for purification, treatment and funeral; The Blood Tower for interrogation and torture; the Black Tower for the detention of dangerous people; and the Raven Tower for instant messaging and monitoring.

"Among these four towers, Samuel will be the person in charge of the Black Tower and the Blood Tower, and there will also be a second-order Eternal Balance Path Transcendent named Robbie as his deputy," McCoff said, The resumes of the two were brought out separately.

Robbie is a 41-year-old middle-aged man with a moustache and looks a little wretched, but he has a very rich work history. He has worked as an interrogator in Scotland Yard and the Bureau of Secrecy for a long time. His real name is stated on his resume He is a "professional" talent who is biased towards lie detection, sensory deception and other fields.

"The person in charge of the Green Tower is Catherine, and the last one left is the Raven Tower," before McCoff finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the last resume document.

[Thursday, 36 years old, Eternal Balance Path, codenamed "Lady Crow". 】

[Transcendents from the mysterious branch of the Golden Balance Association, did not join any school, have a very withdrawn personality, prefer to be with animals than humans, primitive Druids, have less work experience, and used to help the Secrecy Bureau mainly as a consultant Monitoring of the English Channel. 】

Di Renjie stroked his chin: "This lady doesn't seem to be easy to deal with?"

"Generally speaking, that's true, but Ms. Thursday is the president of the Bird Protection Association, which is very short of money, so as long as the department has enough funds, she is a high-end talent who is easy to deal with." Mycroft leaned back slightly, showing an expression that everything was under control:
"And this is precisely our advantage, isn't it? Speaking of it, it is thanks to the previous efforts of you and Sherlock, Mr. Watson."

What Mycroft was talking about was when they found out the truth of the case and forced Disraeli and Gladstone to back down.

"I'm relieved when you say that," Di Renjie briefly sorted out the files, and his brain quickly sorted out the information recorded in these files.

[The person in charge of the White Tower, Lamb, a "plainclothes knight" (Gate of Ten Thousand Gates) close to the fourth rank, a dirty and greasy ace agent. 】

[The person in charge of the Green Tower, Catherine, is a third-rank nun of divine sense (pure white eyes), easy to get along with (suspected). 】

[The person in charge of the Black Tower, Samuel, a third-level Necromancer (Bottomless Abyss), a spy. 】

[The person in charge of the Crow Tower, Thursdai, a third-order mysterious branch bachelor (Eternal Balance), is doing things for money. 】

[The person in charge of the Blood Tower, Robbie, the second-level mentor (Eternal Balance), has a wretched temperament. 】

He first put a simple label on these future partners, which can help him quickly remember the characteristics of each other, but these labels are not fixed, because Di Renjie is more convinced than these cold pages and words. own personal experience.

"This is a team with strong comprehensive strength." Di Renjie finished his thoughts and said with emotion: "The composition is also complicated enough, including all four major paths."

“This is of course a deliberate result,” explained Mycroft: “Different approaches often have different capabilities, so a complex combination can provide a variety of matching methods, which can equip new departments with the ability to deal with different problems.

"Currently, the new department has a total of four third-order extraordinary people, and they are all capable of fighting. This kind of strength is enough to deal with most crisis situations."

"But I have a question," Sherlock said in a deep voice, "How many third-order transcendents are there in the London area under normal circumstances?"

Sherlock's question was very critical, and Di Renjie unconsciously showed a thoughtful expression.

"Under normal circumstances, the third rank in London will not exceed 100, and most of the third ranks belong to the royal family, government, military, nobles, royal academy of sciences, parliament, church and other forces. In other words, Most of the third-level transcendents in London are the pillars of various forces, and they are all people who know the secrets of the Bureau, so it is difficult to do anything that surprises us."

McCoff thought about it and said that it was obviously highly confidential information: "The imperial government invested in the third tier of the security department with a total of only 12 people, and these 12 people will cover Scotland Yard, Secret Service, Secret Intelligence Service and political communications. Bureau, and I personally can only influence Scotland Yard and the Bureau of Secrecy, so the four third-rankers drawn out this time can be regarded as emptying out my family."

Mycroft's words made Di Renjie deeply feel the importance of the new department. No matter how powerful McCoff is, he can't influence all the third-level transcendents in the empire's security department. This is the inevitable result of power checks and balances.

Then, under such a premise, the selection of four third-level transcendents gave almost half of the power to McCoff, which made Di Renjie feel a little bit of pressure, but this kind of pressure was natural for him. It is not worth mentioning; in addition, Mycroft's full support also made him slightly moved.

But what Di Renjie didn't know was that although Mycroft said that there were only 12 third-level transcendents that the empire invested in the security department, he didn't say that all four third-level superhumans in the new department came from these 4 people.
Well, some art of language.

"In addition to these five persons in charge, the department will also be equipped with an estimated 5 second-tier transcendents. However, it is difficult to transfer this personnel. Only about 100 people will be in place in a short period of time. It may take a year or two for the follow-up to be fully staffed; It is estimated that there will be 50 people for the first level of extraordinary people, and it will also take time to mobilize. I estimate that only 200 people will be in place within this year." Mycroft mentioned a few "huge" numbers. You must know that since Di Renjie stepped into the extraordinary, The transcendental beings encountered are all counted by one, and this is the first time that they have been counted by hundreds.
Sherlock was startled, he is good at mathematics, of course even if he is not good at mathematics, he can immediately figure out his position in the new department.
The 200th rank is the first rank, and if he counts himself, he will be 201st rank.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, this number is also very reasonable. After all, London at this time is a metropolis with a population of several million urban areas. The 200 extraordinary people sound like a lot, but once it is distributed to such a huge city According to the population, it is equivalent to a first-level transcendent who has to take care of more than 1 ordinary people, which is completely impossible to implement.

From this point of view, a team of hundreds of people is actually not enough, but there is no way to do it. McCoff also wants more people, but Scotland Yard, the Bureau of Secrets, the military... There are shortages of people everywhere. In this In this era, extraordinary people are the rarest kind of talent.

In addition, even among the 200 people transferred out, most of them are extraordinary people who seem to be physically stronger than ordinary people.

This result also did not exceed Di Renjie's expectations. He had heard the saying that "Ten Thousand Gates" channel "trains" newcomers conveniently and quickly. It is not surprising that he became the main force;
Moreover, most of the transcendents of the Golden Dawn Association are scholars, and it is possible to occasionally produce a few special talents. If this group of scientific researchers is really going to go to the battlefield, let alone the government can't do it, the prophets in the association may have to sit down first. Can't stop;
The bottomless abyss is basically a hostile force, and the relationship between the church and the government in the past two years has also been delicate.
Generally speaking, the new department seems to be full of talents, but if you ignore the top few managers and take a closer look at the interior of the department, you can easily find that it is actually a bunch of well-developed people. "knight".

After learning the truth, Sherlock suddenly felt that he was okay again.

PS: Today is an update, it took a lot of time to calculate the population and settings, the missing 1k words will be made up by writing more in the two chapters tomorrow!
In addition, the population ratio between extraordinary people and ordinary people is about 1:1000~
