Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to express his stance. He was not a chuunibyou youth and did not have the feeling of being willing to sacrifice his life for humans.
He just wanted to become stronger. If he joined the Department of Mysteries, this would be the most important reason.
"By the way, Brother Lin, you don't seem to know much about the Awakened circle. Did you awaken yourself? How long has it been since he awakened? Did you kill a ghoul and a demon recently?”
Zhang Lie was not in a hurry to listen to Lin Xuan's statement. Although Lin Xuan was 18 years old, in the Demon Spider incident, other than a sense of justice, this youth also had a steady temperament that made people feel very reliable.
Zhang Lie understood that Lin Xuan was not the kind of person who would make a decision on a whim, so he was not in a hurry.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he thought of the monster that was eating the corpse in the alley and the cat demon. He probably understood that the Department of Mysteries should have paid attention to his activities before.
"Yes, it's me." He nodded.
Looking at Lin Xuan's affirmative reply, Zhang Lie's smile became even stronger. He was certain that this calm youth in front of him had a sense of justice and was hot-blooded. Such a person was most likely to join the Department of Mysteries.
"That's good. Now that I know that you're the one who did it, I can end the investigation.”
Zhang Lie made a cup of coffee for Lin Xuan. Although it was instant, Lin Xuan still did not refuse.
"Then, Brother Lin, you came to the Department of Mysteries to learn something, right?”
Zhang Lie sat opposite Lin Xuan. He held the coffee and drank it comfortably.
"Yes, if I may, there are many things I want to know.”
Lin Xuan asked all the questions he could think of, including the situation in this world, why there were Mutants, the division of strength between Awakened and Mutants, the appearance of Mutants, and the treatment of the Special Department.
Zhang Lie did not expect Lin Xuan to be a curious baby. He really asked everything.
"I say, Brother Lin, you have too many questions…" His face twisted.
"I'll go one by one first."
"First, tell me the truth of your world. As you can see, this world is peaceful and stable to ordinary people. However, since thousands of years ago, demons and ghosts have appeared one after another. Most of the folk legends you heard are true. As for how these demons and ghosts appeared, I don't know. This involves some high-level secrets, and I don't have the authority to know.”
"The otherworldlings didn't appear out of nowhere. They are more like the natives of this world. Of course, we humans are the same, but the world that we humans live in is different from the demons.”
" Some people have speculated that the world we live in and the world the otherworldlings live in are actually the same world. It's like the front and back of a piece of paper. We're on one side, and they're on the other. They think that the world is one with two sides.”
" So, it's not that the unusual creatures suddenly appeared, but that the two sides of the paper suddenly communicated..."
Zhang Lie explained with great effort. Lin Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, but he understood Zhang Lie's meaning.
"In addition, the strength of Awakened ones and Mutants are divided from Level 1 to Level 9.”
"Every level three is a huge gap. For example, from level three to level four, the difference is huge. Yes, the representative of level four is the demonic spider we encountered today.”
Hearing Zhang Lie's words, Lin Xuan nodded,"The gap is indeed huge."
The pressure that level four gave Lin Xuan was extremely great. He had already experienced it personally.
"My boss is also a Level 4 expert. From Level 3 to Level 4 is a qualitative change. After reaching Level 4, the Awakened's abilities will undergo a qualitative change. Their combat strength will increase drastically, and they can even influence a small-scale war with their own strength.”
"Of course, you don't have to worry. Under normal circumstances, there are very few level-four foreign species in our world.”
"Because the strength of the foreign species will be suppressed by our world. The stronger the foreign species, the more affected they will be, especially after level three. From level four onwards, their combat strength will be weakened.”
"So, generally speaking, the otherworldlings that wreak havoc in our world are mostly level one to level three. The otherworldlings in this range are the least affected.”
"And the mission of the Department of Mysteries is to clean up these foreign species.”
Zhang Lie's words made Lin Xuan somewhat puzzled. Would the strength of high-level beasts be suppressed when they came to the human world?
Why?
Lin Xuan raised his doubts.
Zhang Lie smiled and said," I don't know the specific reason either. I heard from my boss that the difference in environment is too big. High-level foreign species are very resistant to the environment of the human world, but low-level foreign species are better.”
Lin Xuan frowned again, but this time, he did not ask a question.
"Other than the first to the ninth rank, I heard that there are existences beyond the ninth rank. However, those experts are not something we can know.”
Zhang Lie continued," As for the whereabouts of the foreign species, to be honest, we don't know either. If the foreign species don't take the initiative to expose themselves, or if we happen to bump into them, it will be difficult for us to find them after they hide their aura. All we can do is try our best to track their traces and deal with them before they cause great panic.”
"As for the specifics, that's a secret of the Department of Mysteries. Unless you join us, we won't share any information.”
"Lastly, there's the treatment and benefits of the Department of Mysteries.”
"I'm very familiar with this. After all, it's a national organization. You don't have to worry about money. Even a Level 1 Metahuman will receive a monthly allowance of 200,000 yuan. In addition, they will be allocated housing, cars, insurance, and other such things. There will also be subsidies during festivals.”
"Of course, these things are of little significance to us. The real benefit to us is the spirit herbs. After joining the Special Department, we can enjoy some special facilities that only the officials have, such as spirit qi cultivation rooms, spirit herbs, some cultivation techniques, secret arts, magic tools, and all other resources.”
After saying that, Zhang Lie stood up and took out a contract from his desk.
Yes, the contract. It detailed all the benefits of the Department of Mysteries.
Although Lin Xuan did not know the benefits of the spiritual qi cultivation room and spiritual herbs, he could sense that these things were extremely expensive.
Lin Xuan read it very carefully. This contract was very conscientious.
"I have a question."
Lin Xuan put down the contract and raised his question,"I want to ask, if I join you, will you restrict my freedom?”
Zhang Lie smiled when he heard this. Lin Xuan asking this question meant that he was already prepared to join.
"No. It could even be said that the members of the Department of Mysteries are the most free awakened ones in Taixia Country!”
