Lov's plan had to be terminated in the evening.
Although he had found some clues and clues, when he called the branch to ask for more manpower, he received news that the branch had been attacked by a supernatural creature.
Fang Xian did not show up during the attack, so the Secret Keeper branch concluded that a supernatural creature had attacked the branch, but the reason was unknown.
Although he had held back, other than Catien, there were still a few unlucky fellows who were killed or injured.
Most of the investigators guessed that it was the Fallen Star Church's revenge, and they were filled with righteous indignation.
Faced with such a situation, all investigations had to be put aside. Fang Xian and Lov returned to the branch to participate in the disaster relief activities.
…
Fang Xian and Lov worked together to move a giant boulder away. When they saw the dark pool of coagulated blood underneath, they kept quiet.
"Supernatural creature … suspected to be the Footless Bird?"
Lov took a deep breath. "The Fallen Star Church has a way to summon it?"
Fang Xian was speechless.
The Fallen Star Church was once again implicated, and they had no choice but to take the blame.
However, Kieran knew very well that the Fallen Star Church did not even know how many factions there were in the Fallen Star Church.
Perhaps some of the members had heard the call of the Footless Bird and believed in it. It was not impossible.
Therefore, the Footless Bird was like a big basket that could hold anything.
"What I'm more curious about is … the branch doesn't seem to be able to deal with this …" Fang Xian seized the chance to ask, "Has this never happened before?"
"Of course not! The cultists are a bunch of rats in the sewers. How dare they fight us head-on? Even if there is some abnormal power, as long as they take some tranquilizer drugs and use guns, they can be dealt with … "
Lov seemed a little lost. "It's just that in recent years, the cases of abnormal power have skyrocketed. All kinds of beliefs have popped up, and traces of supernatural activity can be seen everywhere. Sometimes, even I'm shaken. Is everything we've done in vain?"
"Looks like the veteran investigators all know about the doomsday prophecy?"
Fang Xian's heart skipped a beat.
The day the stars returned to their positions, the return of the ancient rulers. From his point of view, it was possible.
At that time, it would indeed be a catastrophe for mankind, and the insistence of the Secret Keeper would be meaningless.
The investigator had been dealing with pagans for a long time, so he would definitely know this.
In the past, they might not have doubted it, but in recent years, abnormal forces had been surging, and various Orders had begun to stir. It was enough to show that they had obtained extraordinary power.
Recently, there were even evil people who dared to attack the branch!
Of course, Fang Xian would not admit that he had done it, but when he thought of Shara, the bald old man, and the Outlander Church, he knew that the power of the infidels had indeed grown a lot.
On the other hand, the Secret Keeper, who was stubbornly conservative, was gradually falling behind.
Perhaps in the past, relying on heavy firepower and the support of the country, the Secret Keepers could still clean up all the evil organizations that emerged.
But now, without using supernatural powers, it was probably impossible.
"However, the Secret Keeper's foundation is too strong. Even if he starts to catch up now, he will still be the strongest force!"
Fang Xian's eyes flashed. "Among them … there might be a chance for me."
"Why do you say that?" he asked blankly, pretending that he did not know.
"I've wiped out many Orders. Some of them were huge organizations, and some only had a few people, but they all preached the existence of the doomsday. The time was very close, around 1605 of the Black Iron Calendar, three years later. Don't you think it's strange? They all belonged to different Orders and believed in different evil existences. There's absolutely no connection … "
Lov lowered his voice.
"There's indeed something unusual … What did the headquarters say?" Fang Xian asked.
"The headquarters … The headquarters' attitude is to block and keep it a secret!" Lov curled his lips. "But in the past, it proved to be very useful … But now? The headquarters will definitely strengthen the abnormal power training for the investigators … Hmm, this time, there's a batch of investigators with excellent performance in the branch who can go to the headquarters for further training. I've put your name in. "
"Hmm?"
Fang Xian suddenly looked up.
"Times have changed …" Lov hunched his body and looked at the sky in frustration. "Now … I might be able to protect myself if I master some supernatural powers, and I won't be helpless when I'm faced with real evil … I know you know some spells, but what can they do to the evil heretics? For example, this one today … Other than that, you need to learn how to control and resist, and minimize the impact of using power. These all need to be learned … "
"I understand, I'll go."
Fang Xian nodded solemnly. He did not expect such a good thing to happen.
It seemed that the incident of 'the cultists' brazenly attacking the Secret Keeper's branch 'had a far-reaching impact, causing the higher-ups of the Secret Keeper to change their policies?
Other than that, if Catien did not die, this kind of good thing would not have happened to him.
Although, in the eyes of some old-school investigators, this was not a good thing.
…
The headquarters of the Secret Keeper was somewhere in the Mister Islands.
If one took a boat from Orsay, it would take about a week to reach the destination.
At the dock.
Fang Xian wore a dark coat, a scarf, and a black bowler hat. He carried a suitcase and quietly waited for his ticket to board the boat.
The ferry he was going to take was called the 'Blue Heart'. It would depart today and head to the Port of Marnke in the Mister Islands.
After disembarking there, he could make a detour to the headquarters of the Secret Keeper.
Fang Xian could understand why such a large organization like the Secret Keeper would set up their headquarters on an island.
After all, it was a secret organization. They might even have items with strong polluting effects. It was safer to stay away from people.
Lov did not lie.
This time, he was indeed going to the headquarters in the name of 'learning'.
'The attack on the Secret Keeper's branch has indeed caused some changes in the headquarters. Although it is impossible to turn things around immediately, selecting outstanding investigators and undergoing supernatural power training is a good start …
'Also, without Catien in the branch, it is much more convenient for me … As expected, the attack last time was right. As long as I am not caught …'
Fang Xian thought to himself and looked at the situation of his' Apocalypse Church '.
As a secret existence, he was not in a hurry.
The church was still in its infancy. He had to wait for the little fellows who had a fortuitous encounter to truly summon the strange power and become obsessed with it before he could proceed to the second step.
