Chapter 21 The Keeper

If you ask Goethe what kind of person does he hate the most?

Well, those who are liberately mystifying must be at the top of the list.

Looking at Morey who was obviously seriously injured and still pretending to be a ‘Riddler’, Goethe rolled his eyes.

‘Riddler’ go to hell!

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

“Can you guess me?”

“Cough, cough, no sense of humor at all.”

Morey coughed twice, Looking at Goethe, who didn’t seem to have any plans to help him, he got up by himself, sat on the sofa, and continued: “I found ‘Mist Murderer”s nest in Luster!”

“Including My entire lair, including his minions!”

“Also, ‘Mist Murderer’ was seriously injured…more than mine!”

Saying that, Morey smiled.

“That’s it!”

Goethe understood the ‘Mist Murderer’ plan almost instantly – pretending to be injured or actually being injured, but ignoring Morey behind him , go straight back to the old nest.

Then, at the expense of Luster’s lair, Morey’s return is delayed.

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

I have to say, ‘Mist Murderer’ is really cold-blooded, very ruthless, and willing to pay for it.

Not only do they use their own nest and subordinates as ‘bait’, but even the other party can become a ‘bait’!

However, now it’s gone!

The old nest was destroyed.

The loss of his men is complete.

He himself was seriously injured.

Goethe finally felt relieved.

But Goethe didn’t show any ease in front of Morey, instead he said solemnly.

“I used to live in 802.”

“You were attacked?!”

In an instant, Morey reacted.

“en. ”

“good luck, escaped.”

Goethe nodded and said in a calm tone as much as possible.

Morey looked at Goethe for four or five seconds before continuing.

“Sorry.”

Morey looked apologetic.

And this time Goethe is shrugged.

“There’s no need to apologize, we’re just a cooperative relationship.”

Looking at Goethe’s relaxed face, Morey felt more and more guilty at this time.

You must know that a day ago, he just promised the other party to ensure the safety of the other party as much as possible, but just now, facing the weak spot exposed by ‘Mist Murderer’, he forgot this point .

If Goethe dies because of this, he’ll definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Fortunately that didn’t happen!

Morey rejoiced.

Then, the previous idea of ‘want to cooperate deeply with Goethe’ became more and more clear.

No!

It’s more ‘in-depth’!

“Of course it is necessary.”

“I said it before, we will cooperate more deeply in the future.”

“And now you are more It’s a testament to your ability, even, far beyond.”

“So…”

“I want you to join us.”

Morey emphasized, and then, issued an invitation.

Looking at Morey’s sincere expression, Goethe wondered if he had overacted – obviously he was just a well-informed person. Easier condition, the purpose of learning ‘transcendent’ knowledge.

How can I feel that Morey is so easy to be ‘bluffed’ now.

Suddenly, a strange feeling rose in Goethe’s heart.

He recalled all the details about Morey.

When we met for the first time, it seemed that I was not used to talking with strangers, and it looked like a social phobia.

When we met for the second time, it was straight women’s clothes, a perverted appearance.

When they met three times, they became sincere, as if they had not been deeply involved in the world.

“This is…”

“Multiple personalities?”

Goethe guessed.

“Of course not!”

Seems to have guessed what Goethe was thinking, but Morey denied it directly. Facing Goethe’s surprised expression, he chuckled and said, “I just Affected – The power of transcendent is far more complex, weird and… dangerous than you think.”

“Dangerous?”

“The power of transcendent affects the user. ?”

Goethe frowned.

“en. ”

“Most of the time, it is within the controllable range, but sometimes, it is beyond the control.”

“Example: using transcendent power beyond what you can handle.”

Morey explained.

“What about specifics?”

Goethe pressed.

Goethe is not vague about this critical issue that could affect him.

“Get powerful powers and use items in a short time!”

“The former is more complicated, and the latter?”

“Just like me!”

“The first time I met, I used the ‘Identification Pocket Watch’ which had the negative effect of ‘social phobia’.”

“And just now I drank it’ “Potion”, under normal circumstances, I would only be interested in wearing women’s clothing, but after my injury, my personality will become like a woman’s sensitive, vulnerable, but sentimental.”

“Yes, I’m sorry!”

“I don’t mean to forget my promise to protect you, I just face the opportunity to kill ‘Mist Murderer’, I’m totally…sorry…wu wu wu… “

Morey couldn’t control himself as he spoke, covered his face and started to cry.

What’s more, the potion’s changing effects are starting to wear off.

Morey is back in shape again.

A middle-aged man with gray temples, dressed in women’s clothes, sat on the sofa and cried bitterly…

Goethe felt inexplicably heart palpitations.

This is a more formidable situation than previous attackers.

He is frowned, lightly sighed.

“It’s not your fault.”

“You’re ready to make amends, aren’t you?”

“Yes!”

“I’ve already made it up to you!”

Morey looked up as she spoke, her makeup was already crying, and that face… made Goethe couldn’t bear to look directly.

Fortunately, the negative effects appear to be fading.

Morey regained control of his emotions again.

He sat up straight, looked at Goethe earnestly, and sent out the invitation again—

“Goethe as compensation, I will be your introducer and invite you to join us organization.”

“Not a full member, of course.”

“For the next 3-6 months, you will need to act as a non-staff, Only when you complete the ‘innate period’ do you go to the headquarters, get tested and become a full member.”

“Of course, it’s easier if you have the ‘innate talent’. “

“innate talent?”

Goethe asks the point.

“Yes!”

“If you have Gifted, you will have a free ‘baptism’ at the headquarters to get the true ‘transcendent power’; and the lack of innate talent, Or people without innate talent will have an extra chance after a series of training, and if you fail this time, you will need to accumulate merits and exchange for a second chance of ‘baptism’ by yourself.”

“Only after two failures will it be incorporated into the auxiliary, logistics, etc. departments of the action team.”

Morey affirmed replied.

However, compared to Morey, who had begun to recover at this time, there was ambiguity in his words.

Goethe doesn’t care about that.

This is as it should be.

It’s like if you don’t pay, you can’t get anything in return.

If you don’t join the organization in front of you, you will naturally not be able to learn some secrets.

So, to Morey’s third invitation —

“So, Goethe, would you like to join us?”

“Yes.”

Goethe answered quickly and affirmatively.

Morey is the only place where he can come into contact with and learn the power of transcendent at this stage. Maybe there are other places, but who can guarantee that other places will be better than Morey’s?

At least, here in Morey, who represents the official transcendent force, Goethe sees ‘order’.

Even more how, Goethe didn’t forget the words Morey said ‘in accordance with the normal process, will be erased’ and the repercussions he absolutely didn’t want.

Threats?

Maybe yes.

But Goethe sees more: Opportunity!

Morey laughed when Goethe answered in the affirmative.

The Luster official transcendent head scrambled to his feet from the sofa, his face serious and his tone solemn—

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

“Secret Keeper, welcome!”

PS The starting point mechanism has changed recently, and the recommended position depends on the follow-up reading! Don’t keep books, everyone, read along! Once you raise a book, you’ll die o(╥﹏╥)o
