Chapter 28: She Got Mad After Being Insulted by Me in Public (1)
“However, although the organization is capable of solving most of the strange things, there are still someone escaping from us… Those evil and fierce escaped ones might turn the organization upside down. That’s why we need your ability, An Juncheng.”
“My ability…” The titles could show one’s true nature. So that was what it was…
“I have to say that our organization still lacked of the ones who are good at searching. Some people with supernatural powers hide themselves too well and are also good at cover their tracks. But with your ability, that wouldn’t be a problem for us anymore.” That was true. No matter how deep one had covered himself, I was still able to see that person through. Therefore, I really was the best choice for them to search for the supernatural creatures.
“In conclusion, the organization needed your power. So I hope you can accept our invitation.” Our principal opened her arms and leaned on the back of her seat while sending the invitation to me with her head raised slightly.
“What if I say that… I don’t want to join you?”
“If you are not willing to, we won’t force you. But what we have been doing is maintaining the balance in the world… In other words, maintaining your normal life, which is the most thing you want.” … It looked like she had already known me thoroughly.
She wanted to tell me that the purpose of this organization was exactly the thing I had always expected. Therefore, I should expect a relaxed and joyful cooperation with them.
But… “In order to maintain the normal life, I have to walk into the abnormality myself, right?” It was like taking the root for the branch.
I was looking forward to maintaining my own normal life. But the organization wanted to maintain everyone’s normal life.
I was not so noble-minded that I would sacrifice myself for the strangers. So I wasn’t convinced by the reason she had given to me.
However, even though I was a tough man, there were always tougher ones than me.
Principal Nana’s fierce eyes which were like X-rays suddenly fixed on my body. I felt my bones were about to be pierced.
“Don’t tell me that you still think you are an ‘ordinary’ people.”
“…”
“You have already been involved with the abnormality. So the thing you should do was taking back your normality instead of maintaining your normal life.”
… She was right. As I thought about the things which had happened lately, I knew that I had already come into contact with the inner world. Even if I didn’t want to be drawn into the strange things, they would still come to me.
“I couldn’t take out the thing in your head, but I am still a leader of one of the branches of our organization. There might be some leaders from other branches who are good at this. Also, even if the people of our organization are not able to help you, we can still find others for you. Of course, those are all people with super powers…” Principal Nana stopped talking and only looked at me with a calm expression in her eyes. I thought she meant ‘That’s all I have to say, you can figure it out by yourself.”
I gave out a wry smile and raised my head to look right into Principal Nana’s eyes.
“Which means, I don’t have any choices, do I…” This was not a cooperation at all. I was the one who have to make concessions.
The result had already been settled before this conversation. And I just had to follow her orders… How awful was that! How calculated she was! And she had said that I had been too calm to be a human, was she like a human right now?… At the moment, she still kept her commanding gesture. No wonder she had said in my dream that she had been more suitable for the title [Heartless Enchanting Demon] in reality. Now it seemed that she had told me the truth.
Had she only shown her true feelings in my dream? Or, what had happened in my dream was all false appearance and the principal I was looking at right now was really herself?
I didn’t know… The only thing I knew was there might be something wrong about her like what had happened to Lian Bing.
She took my short moment of silence as my hesitation. Then she started to explain the treatment I would receive after I joined the organization to attract me.
“Of course, we won’t treat you shabbily after you join our organization. I heard you were short of money these days, right?”
“Yeah, I have wanted to look for a job at first… Will I get paid if I join the organization?”
“Of course you will. You have used the Black Card of Jiang Xueqing, right?” That Black Card… When I had asked Xue Qing about that card, she had told me that it had been a reward from the organization.
So it seemed that the organization was very rich.
I meant, first of all, if all those actors in the Black Street were all the members of the organization, then their wages would add up to an enormous figure.
“To tell the truth, the most thing we have in the organization is money. So if you can be useful to us, we will definitely offer you a great amount of money. You can consider yourself working part-time here as well.”
“Wow, so I can call this my job. But isn’t this job a bit dangerous?” I had never heard of a job which could threaten the employee’s life. If I met someone who was as dangerous as Ye Liusu, I had no confidence that I would be able to get away safely again.
Though I had just obtained three kinds of abilities which should buy me some time, I was still not sure that I could escape from any dangerous situation without others’ help.
Principal Nana who had no intention to hide anything from me just told me all the risks straightly,
“You might be in danger, that’s true. After all, the people with super powers whom even the organization fails to capture are not easy to deal with. Once the information about your ability is leaked, you will be targeted. That’s why I’ll send people to protect your safety specifically. Also, we will authorize the right of the outer employee to you.”
“Outer employee, like Xue Qing and other girls? What’s the difference between the outer employees and other employees in the organization?”
“Outer employees don’t belong to any department but are super essential to our organization. They have the equal right as the ministers of each department and rank only second to the leader like me. In the critical moment, they can also deploy one or several departments to execute urgent missions. Moreover, the Chores Department will send someone to take care of them specially. After all, outer employees are our ‘Elite Members’.”
“Sounds great. And even a newbie like me can fill a post like this?” If I took up a high position like this when I just joined the organization, the other members might be unsatisfied, I guessed.
“If we open your ability to the members of our organization, no one will disagree with my decision… But, there seems to be a few traitors in the organization who have leaked our confidential information to the outsiders. So I’ll put you in the Search Department for the moment. But you will be treat equally as the outer employees.”
“I see. I understand.” In the Killing Ghost event, it had only because someone had leaked information to others that the siege plan had failed. At that time, I had almost died in the hands of the Killing Ghost with others in that street.
It followed that there must be spies inside of the organization.
She had already explained the advantages and disadvantages to me. Now it was my turn to make my decision.
First I looked to the left. Miss Yang was frowning right now. She seemed to be worried about me. Meanwhile, Yu Hui was nodding to me. I thought she was trying to tell me that she would support me no matter what kind of decision I would make.
If I said I wouldn’t join them, Yu Hui would help me escape from here even if they forced me to stay.
Thinking of this, I got less worried.
Then I looked to the right. Xiang Yuexue was looking at me with expectation in her eyes. I could even hear her saying, “Say yes! Say yes! If you say yes, we can play together!”… What a little girl!
Maybe my previous theory was still not right. There really was a lolita who had lived for five hundred years but was still like a little girl mentally or physically. She must be an eternal lolita.
And classmate Li Nai… seemed to have woken up just now with a big yawn. Then she wiped her saliva.
What was she doing here anyway… “Puff…” I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. Then I opened my eyes and said,
“Fine! I agree to join the organization, principal! No, my leader!” “Mew!”… Huh?
What had I just heard?
She seemed to have… made a very cute sound.
Others who had also heard of that turned around to look at Principal Nana doubtfully. However, Principal Nana still remained calm as if nothing had happened.
“Why are you looking at me? Annnnn Juncheng, since you have already agreed to join us, please come here to sign the contract?”
There was a contract? Wait, before that, Principle Nana seemed to have trembled a few times when she had called my name.
… So, she had signed a contract with me as I had thought… which meant that she had tried her best to control herself until now… I walked to the desk with a weird look on my face. Then Principal Nana pushed the contract to me sternly.
I picked up the contract and then pretended to check the papers carefully. In the meantime, I was actually observing every act and move of our principal, hoping that I could detect something.
