The Night Watchman, it is recorded in ancient classics, that chest emblem is the logo of St. Honavitch Church. It represents the Sleeping and Crimson God, and is the symbol of the orthodox clergy of the church.
Weinerson's thoughts suddenly dawned, and when he thought about the illusion he had experienced before, he suddenly blurted out: "Did you control the illusion that I fell into just now?"
Night watchman Joseph Paxton shook his gold cane, his black tuxedo fluttering in the wind, and his deep gray-blue eyes contained an inexplicable smile.
"Everything just happened was the truest reaction from your heart. I just gave you a little guidance."
Joseph's voice was mellow and gentle, and the warm smile on his face was so friendly and natural, making him look very gentlemanly.
"Everyone is not perfect. In the fantasy world, in addition to the essential kindness, there are also various other negative emotions and dark desires. These emotions and desires can make everything messy, ridiculous or even crazy, so you don't have to worry about what you just said. Feeling ashamed about things in the fantasy world is exactly what I want to see. I believe in you in the subconscious more than you in reality."
This...believes me more subconsciously?
Weinerson was horrified after hearing this. If he revealed the story of the time traveler in his subconscious fantasy, he would probably be immediately treated as a heretic. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, he thought about it in reverse, and soon felt relieved, because the night watchman didn't understand the word time travel at all, let alone things like the earth, postgraduate entrance examinations, etc., so the worry just now was a little unnecessary.
Humph, your civilization here has just reached the steam age, and all my secrets come from 2023. You must not understand them. After all, this is not a language that can be communicated by the same era.
But then again, the abilities of priests are really incredible, and the experience just now was not like a fantasy at all!
Now calm down and think about it, that is not me at all, I am not that bad. All the scenes presented are actually what Joseph Paxton wants to see, or what he wants to see the true side of my heart.
Wei Nasen's thoughts were spinning, and he had a vague understanding of what had just happened.
If I could, I would also like to become a priest and take a tour of other people's subconscious minds. That would be wonderful, right?
"Ahem, Officer Paxton, did you get the answer you wanted from my subconscious?" Weinerson dispersed his thoughts, and he organized his words to ask.
Joseph Paxton did not answer directly, but looked at him deeply, and asked half curiously and half tentatively:
"Before I answer your question, let me answer a question first. What do you think of the extraordinary abilities of clergy?"
What do you think? You're asking me deeply about this. What can I think of it? It must be envy.
However, this can also be dangerous. Gaining great power is also accompanied by corruption. After all, any gift in the world has already been clearly marked in secret.
"Speaking of which, I have never met a priest before, nor have I been exposed to extraordinary abilities. I just feel that it is very magical and dreamy, but at the same time, I also feel very dangerous and pitiful!"
As Weinerson spoke, he paused, looked at Joseph opposite with his amber eyes, and then asked:
"Officer Paxton, am I right?"
"Magical, dreamy, dangerous, pitiful..."
Joseph Paxton nodded and spoke slowly:
"It's a very special thinking logic. You are indeed different from ordinary people. This is the first time I have heard such an answer in recent years, but there is no doubt that you are right. I can now confirm that you have no problem."
As expected, you still don’t trust me, so you are testing me with your extraordinary abilities today.
In fact, there is no need. If I really had a problem, I would not have fallen into your illusion this morning. Instead, I would have pretended to be tricked and then put on a good show with you.
"Thank you for your confirmation, Officer Paxton. My family will be back today. If there are no other questions, I will leave first."
"No, there's one more thing."
"Is there anything else? Haven't you already confirmed that I have no problem?"
Weinerson asked in surprise, feeling an endless and cumbersome feeling.
The golden cane in Joseph's hand had disappeared at some point. He put his hands into the pockets of his gray trousers and walked over slowly. As he moved, the air around him suddenly became stagnant and difficult to circulate. .
Weinerson instinctively noticed something was wrong. The hairs on his body suddenly stood up, and everything in front of him seemed to have solidified, as if he had been thrown into a container that drained the air. Even breathing became difficult.
This is extraordinary power. He used it again!
Looking at Weinerson, who was as tense as a sculpture carved by a knife, Joseph raised the corners of his mouth politely and said: "Relax, this time is not an investigation, but an invitation."
"invite?"
Weinerson blurted out and quickly added, "Invite me?"
In the face of the absolute extraordinary power, Weinerson became a little panicked at this time. It felt like falling into the mysterious sea water last night, and his heart began to beat violently.
"Yes, this is an invitation from the Night Watch!"
"Mr. Weinerson van der Rohe, as an ordinary person, being able to survive extraordinary events involves you, which shows that you have something unique, such as being lucky, and lucky people are exactly what we night watchmen need. I It’s Joseph Paxton, the captain of the Night Watch in Greyvalho County. On behalf of the Honavitch Church, the branch in Faslanka, I would like to formally invite you to join the Night Watch.”
What does it mean to be involved in extraordinary events without death? I have obviously died once, but you don’t know it.
But joining the Night's Watch is in line with my expectations. At least in this kind of circle, I can learn more about the mystery... and the ring issue.
However, as the law enforcement team outside the ancient Orthodox Church, it is an official team in the Kingdom of Ghent, so it should not be so easy to join.
"Mr. Joseph, I can call you this. What do you need to do to join the Night Watch? Or are there any corresponding requirements?"
"You are really smart, you do have a small request!"
Sure enough, this kind of professional team is not that easy to join. There is a threshold required to become a night watchman, and there is also a threshold required to touch the extraordinary power.
"any request?"
Weinerson immediately asked back. Of course, he was not without hope. After all, the captain of the Night Watch personally came to invite him. It was obvious that the threshold was within the scope of what he could complete!
Joseph Pax paused, raised his gray-blue eyes, looked into his, and a gentle voice came from his throat:
"Enter St. Honavitch's University..."
This turn of events shocked Weinerson. He stood there stunned for two or three minutes, and once thought that he had heard wrongly.
Is there any necessary connection between entering college and becoming a night watchman? Or does this world also implement a civil service system? Do you have to go to college first if you want to enter the system?
"Mr. Joseph, are you serious? I am an art student. You must know my family situation. Studying art has made my brother and sister work until they can't stand up. In addition to the art university, It would be difficult to re-apply to another university.”
After Joseph heard Weinerson's words, he chuckled inexplicably:
"I think you misunderstood, Mr. Weinerson. St. Honavitch University has an entrance exam, but you don't need it because you have already completed the exam. But I need to tell you frankly that when you step into the campus At that moment, your life will undergo a huge change. The first step is to touch the extraordinary and become a priest. At the same time, this will also cause you to lose many beautiful things and precious things."
Lose something beautiful?
Weinerson immediately understood Joseph's intentions, entered St. Honavitch University, and gained extraordinary abilities to become a priest. Priests have always been the main force against the Fallen. Of course, this is also one of the requirements for joining the Night Watch.
"Let's not mention this for now. I have a small question here. Do you know what a Fallen is?"
Sure enough, he started asking questions in this regard. As his thoughts were spinning, he spoke.
"I have seen similar descriptions from ancient books. They are monsters who have been corrupted by secret pollution, extraordinary temptation and other factors, leading to the collapse of their sanity. They are called degenerates."
Weinerson didn't panic. He had indeed read the records about the Fallen in Jason's diary before. There was a clear record in it that the Fallen was not a human being, but a terrifying monster.
"Then do you know the relationship between the fallen and the priests?"
When he said these words, a ripple flashed in Joseph's gray-blue eyes, and his expression changed slightly, but overall he still looked calm.
Catching the change in Joseph Paxton's expression, Weinerson paused slightly and considered his words:
"hostility."
"That's right, in fact, in addition to us Night Watchmen, there are also Poseidon Law Enforcers, Sun Crusaders, Light Crusaders, and other church judicial organs. Every year, nearly half of the cases that deal with the fallen will be banished."
Half of them were banished? What do you mean? Wei Nasen was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Joseph half-turned around, with his back to him, and said without any emotion in his language:
"And the vast majority of these half are our teammates. If one day I lose control in front of you and turn into a monster, what will you do?"
Hey, brother, please don't stand fiag. What does it mean to lose control in front of me? What should I do?
"Of course, I just assume that in addition to losing control, I am unfortunately killed or contaminated when facing a powerful enemy, and you are the only one left. What would you do?"
Brother, you are still standing, there is no end to it. You are the first person to stand up like this crazily. If this were on earth, the grass on your grave would be more than one meter high.
Weinerson slandered Joseph Paxton a few words, then thought about it and said in a very determined tone:
"I will use all my strength to prevent disasters and reverse destiny, but if I encounter an enemy that I cannot defeat, I will escape, hide, and wait until I am strong enough to show my fangs of revenge to the enemy."
"If someone else says this, I think it's a little difficult to do, but if it's you, there shouldn't be any problem."
Joseph lifted his feet and began to walk forward.
tread!
Tap!
After taking about five steps in a row, he whispered in a low voice that was half notification and half reminder:
"The Q&A is over. The admission notice from St. Honavitch University will be delivered within a week. After you complete the admission procedures, someone will take you to sign the contract related to the Night Watchman..."
