She remembered that her best friend Val had secretly told her that her immediate boss, who decided the budget, was the leader of the secret religion, the Marquis and the Recorder.
But before Deltina got up to salute, the recording officer who had been sitting in the wheelchair as if she had fallen asleep suddenly raised her hand to signal her to relax.
When talking to more than ten people before, he has been motionless, and it seems that there are no signs of life. It was only at this moment that he moved for the first time.
"Do not be nervous."
The old and hoarse voice of the recording officer did not pass through the air, but directly entered Deltina's mind, making her sit down again.
Then, his voice continued to sound in Deltina's mind:
"Why do you think we should invite you here?"
This is a very unreasonable question. Who would a normal person know what the two high-ranking secret religious leaders were thinking?
Deltina could only bite the bullet and answer according to her own feelings:
"Because we're all lucky marionettes?"
This is a little clue she summed up after listening and observing yesterday.
Everyone here has experienced a terrible disaster.
But after that, it started to go smoothly, as if entering into someone else's script, like a marionette on a stage.
Although it seemed inappropriate to say such words in front of two big figures, Deltina didn't have time to think about the appropriate words.
At worst, just like those people in front, they will be driven away...
But the two big men in front of her seemed quite satisfied with her answer, and they nodded in unison.
"Yes, you are the one with the best quality among this group of people."
Marquis gave a high evaluation.
The recording officer asked directly:
"Then... do you want to inherit my position and become the next Recorder to lead the defense forces of the Secret Cult and the City of Oracles?"
"what?!"
Deltina was directly dizzy from the huge amount of information coming from this shop, which was a super-expansion that she absolutely did not expect.
"Don't worry, you have two days to think about it."
The recording officer continued talking, took out a booklet from his sleeve, handed it to her, and then went on to inquire about the next candidate.
It records the duties, powers, and...
cost.
After that, Deltina stayed in the luxurious guest room of this private manor for two days.
There were three other people who got the brochures like her and were allowed to stay, a middle school teaching director, a fund manager, and a first mate on a shipping airship.
Their freedom is not restricted here. They can go home, discuss with family and friends, and discuss with each other to help them make a final decision.
But everyone, like Deltina, chose to think quietly and alone.
This is definitely a multiple-choice question that is difficult to write.
Becoming a Recorder means overwhelming power, lofty status, and huge wealth.
But it is also accompanied by heavy responsibilities, busy work, and unknown dangers, and it is necessary to dedicate everything to the city at any time.
At the same time, it will completely lose its 'self', no longer have its own name, no longer have its own appearance, no longer have its own relatives and friends, and completely become a bystander who witnesses and records history.
So last night, the dean made a choice and chose to give up.
Before leaving, he specially visited the other three candidates, knocked on their doors one by one, bowed and apologized to them.
"Please forgive me for being cowardly and incompetent. I really can't bear such a heavy responsibility, let alone my family and friends. I can only choose to flee in shame."
"The safety of this city is up to you..."
After that, he left full of guilt.
Influenced by him, the first officer also approached everyone this morning, apologized and said goodbye.
This made Deltina a little shaken. Since this morning, she has been sitting at the desk in the room, playing with her hair and the four-leaf flower headdress.
She also thought that she could not bear such a heavy responsibility.
But she remembered her previous oath to protect her beloved Rorschach...
Right now this is the best opportunity.
But once he becomes the recording officer, Rorschach will no longer recognize himself, and the person 'Del Tina' will always be just a memory of him, and he will lose him forever...
Should protect him?Or should I hug him?
"Why do you have to face such a complicated problem..."
Deltina lay softly on the desk, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to cry.
Maybe it's because I have already made a choice in my heart, so I want to cry...
Just like when I decided to join the countermeasure agency.
But in the end, she rubbed her eyes vigorously, forcibly controlled her tears, put the four-leaf flower headdress back on, and ran to find the marquis and the recording officer.
The two spent most of their time these days drinking tea on the balcony on the third floor, waiting patiently for the candidate's answer.
As soon as Deltina met, she said straight to the point:
"Sorry, I don't know what choice to make..."
"Although I'm still single, I fell in love with a very good boy. He is handsome, gentle, capable and successful in his career. He is the dream of all girls..."
"I really, really like him, so I don't know what to do..."
After hearing her heartfelt words, the Marquis smiled and asked:
"You haven't seen him for a long time, have you?"
Deltina froze for a moment, then nodded with a sad and helpless face.
"Then hurry up and go, let my driver take you there, and I can also recommend you some romantic restaurants and dating places by the way."
The Marquis gave a suggestion and added:
"Tomorrow morning, we will wait for you at the door of the apartment."
Deltina thought about it seriously, nodded quickly, stood up, rearranged her clothes indiscriminately, and ran downstairs quickly.

"She is indeed the most suitable candidate, except that she is too young..."
After Deltina got into the marquis's special car and left the manor far away, the recording officer whispered feebly, then slowly turned to look at her partner, and continued:
"Next, I will work hard for you."
"It's okay, you took care of me like this back then."
The Marquis spoke frankly, with a peaceful smile on his face, as if he didn't feel too sad because of his partner's imminent departure.
As the guardian of the city, he was already prepared, presumably the Recorder was the same.
The recorder slowly took out a few crumpled pages from his sleeve, on which was the last record he left with the last effort he could write.
He looked at the record and whispered:
"The witch is about to make a comeback. The church in the North left after leaving a warning. The ancient sect is still bearing the price of miracles, and beside you, there is only an immature recorder..."
The Marquis took the crumpled pages from his hand, and said word by word in a solemn tone like making a promise to a friend:
"This city has come like this for the past 5000 years, and she will never fall into our hands."
The recording officer nodded slowly, and said in an almost inaudible voice:
"I have to rest for a while, and stick to it until tomorrow morning, so I can't ruin the girl's precious date..."
After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and remained motionless.
........................
"Phew... that's it, I can't do any more tricks."
Rorschach sat down on the steps of the church, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the two pairs of palm patterns circled by steel strips under his feet.
Although he seems to have made the pattern better, more realistic, and more realistic, but after a lot of tossing, he found that this may be a bit beyond the upper limit of his ability.
In the end, he could only squeeze out a pair of simple icon hands with difficulty. Except for the raised thumbs, the rest of the fingers were just lumps, which looked like they were wearing cold-proof gloves.
Nota, who was squatting opposite, didn't dislike it, and said with a smile:
"That's pretty good too. Let's paint it red later?"
The little milk cat also raised its little paw, "meow meow meow" in agreement.
But Rorschach's head got dizzy...
"How can this be painted red? It's like we have blood on our hands...I've been a priest for so many years, but I haven't killed a single person!"
He was correcting Nota's wrong aesthetics, but suddenly saw a high-end black car parked outside the gate.
Nota also turned around and said:
"Auntie Agartis is here. I don't know how the big nun is doing with them?"
She was about to go there to greet her, but she saw that the person getting off from the car was Deltina, the number one believer who had a gap with her?
"Hmph... so it's this guy..."
Nota muttered something in a low voice, but saw Rorschach walking up to him with a happy face behind him.
"May the goddess..."
He didn't even have time to finish his words of blessing, when he saw Deltina stepping forward with her feet in high heels and black stockings, plunged into his arms, and rubbed her face against his chest.
Luo Xia was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, thinking that someone reunited with the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he hugged her very politely, and then continued to finish the interrupted blessing:
"Praise Avia, as long as you are fine, believer Tina."
Deltina pressed her face against his chest and asked in a low voice:
"Although it is a bit sudden, I have a tricky case here, which is related to the disappearance of a young girl. Can you please assist me?"
"of course."
Rorschach nodded without thinking too much.
Then he turned his head back, ready to say hello to Nota.
In the end, Nota stared at him fiercely with his eyes wide open, his ponytails were all knocked up, as if he was going to jump up and bite someone!
Even the little milk cat under his feet looked like he was fighting against the enemy, his fur bristled and became chubby; the little ghost who had been following it also showed a fierce look, waving its little hands and baring its teeth and claws.
"Uh... I just went out with her to investigate the disappearance of women."
Rorschach quickly explained, and then gently pushed Deltina away from her arms.
But Deltina didn't want to let him go, even though she came out of her embrace, she took Rorschach's arm with her backhand.
Then, she also turned her head and gave Nota a look.
Nota, who was about to transform into a golden retriever dog, suddenly fell silent, and silently watched as Deltina took Rorschach's arm and turned him into the high-end black car.
The look Deltina gave her was not the kind of triumph and sarcasm of a winner.
It's a kind of miserable begging...
"It feels as if she's going on a long journey tomorrow, and this is the last time she comes to church, the last time she sees seniors like me..."
Nota muttered something until the steam car had gone far away, then bent down to pick up the little milk cat, and asked:
"Xiao Mi, what she looks like... isn't she lying to me?"
The little milk cat shook its round head very humanely, not knowing how to answer.
"Oh...forget it, if she really lied to me and then settle the score with her, let's first lend her the senior today..."
Nota finally said very sullenly.
And Rorschach, who was sitting in the steam car, was still seriously thinking about discussing the case with Deltina:
