Chapter 35 Special Advisors

"Seals that don't understand or understand..."

"The invisible evil spirit..."

"The strange and unpredictable unknown whispers..."

Sherlock carefully pondered the three words Rheintez said.

Although he didn't understand the seal, he had heard of it many times. For example, the cat bell of Brooke, the suspected antique book in the inner bag, and the things that suppress and purify under the wall of the Holy Emblem...

As for "evil spirit", the literal meaning is imaginable, which is definitely a great danger!

An unknown whisper? Sherlock just thought about it and felt a little numb and explosive on his scalp. Because he had heard of it, and more than once...

If you don’t say anything else, just talk about the pocket watch he owns, you will whisper unknown whispers that only he can hear...

"What you mean is that these three things can make ordinary people lose control directly? Reason will be zeroed?"

Sherlock immediately asked with great doubts.

"Well, the chances of ordinary people are very, very low. Only you 'high-risk people in the mysticism' have the high chance and high risk of contact."

"Can you explain it? Mr. Rhine!" Sherlock humbly asked for advice.

Rhinets nodded, continued to taste the warm coffee, thought for a while and said:

"From the recitation of the Song of Creation, we can draw a conclusion: everything is the same as the same origin. Although there are differences in size, strength and weakness, they are all evolved from the Creator."

"So based on this conclusion, we can learn another inference: anything has the possibility of becoming extraordinary!"

"So whether it is prehistoric mythological creatures, or today's animals, plants, ordinary humans, etc., they all have the potential to become extraordinary."

"Of course, whether it can be done is another topic. You just need to know that every ordinary species in this world cannot just look at the surface."

"For example, the group of 'high-risk personnel of occultism' has mastered some unique knowledge, possesses some unique skills, and knows some unique secrets. This will lead to you being different from others and being able to get into strange phenomena that are difficult for ordinary people to touch like extraordinary people."

"Inside us, you group can also be called the extraordinary in half the rank. Although you have not been promoted through prayer rituals and have not embarked on a perfect extraordinary path, you can no longer be considered ordinary people."

"Can you understand if I say this?" Reintez looked at Sherlock with a smile.

Sherlock nodded thoughtfully:

"In other words, the more you know, the closer you get to a mysterious and strange phenomenon?"

Rhestus glanced at Sherlock with admiration:

"Yes, it's worthy of being the talent recommended by Professor Hoffman. Your statement is very accurate. But it should be said that-

The more you know, the closer you get to the unknown fear!”

Rhinets' smile restrained and continued to say with a serious and solemn attitude:

"The first pope of the All-Knowing Ao Neng Church once said a famous saying:

We are born from the unknown and enlightened in the fog of mystery, but for the rest of our lives, we only live on a dark and blinded island. We are not sad about everything around us, but protect ourselves. Because once we start voyage and explore the unknown realm, we will inevitably fall into the abyss of fear that will never be restored, and fall into the madness of permanent destruction..."

Rhinetes's words were very low, without a trace of emotional ups and downs.

But this passage was like ice slag in the cold wave, dripping into Sherlock's heart, dripping on his scalp, and dripping on his skin...

Sherlock felt a sudden stimulating and fine bumps all over his body, and he seemed to be able to hear whispers coming from somewhere. The entire environment was filled with mysterious fog, and the darkness and obscure mottled mess collapsed in front of him...

bite!

A crisp knocking alarmed Sherlock's thinking, prompting him to recover quickly, and he found a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Rhineters clinked on the coffee cup with a small teaspoon, and his gray and blue eyes looked at Sherlock carefully:

"It seems that you are more 'sentimental' than I thought. This is not a good phenomenon, you should learn to restrain yourself. The closer you want to get to the unknown and touch the unknown, the more you get the harm you get and the more fear you will have."

Sherlock took several deep breaths in a row, nodding with palpitations. Then he picked up the coffee cup and drank half a cup to his stomach. The bitterness and stimulation of the tip of his tongue made him feel much better.

"About seals, evil spirits, unknown whispers... Can I understand more? Should I stop thinking about it at all? Or face fear?"

Sherlock continued, "After all, my profession and future work, as you said, are a dangerous temptation, touching the unknown fear..."

Rhestus smiled indifferently and said in a relaxed tone:

"Seal objects and evil spirits can actually be said to be 'alternative extraordinary', or 'alternative extraordinary legacy'. Because they are all products decomposed by the extraordinary powers of higher-level levels after their bodies are completely dead."

"Whether seals or evil spirits are divided into strict levels and strict contact specifications. Of course, you don't have to consider these now. When you integrate into this work, you will learn slowly in the future."

"As for the so-called unknown whispers, it is actually not only you, but I will also hear it occasionally. But if you are in a normal state of life and do not have a sign of crazy out of control, it is temporarily safe."

"Some phenomena can be prevented and avoided, and some phenomena should not be thought about too much. After all, we are also human beings and we also need normal daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. Don't think too much and work hard to live every day, do you think so?"

Rhinetes raised his coffee cup, and Sherlock also smiled and raised his glass to thank him.

"Okay, Mr. Sherlock. After talking about these topics, I believe you have great enthusiasm and curiosity about this job. So, are you willing to accept our hiring?"

Rhinets put down his coffee cup, sat down with his hands crossed his fingers, and asked seriously.

"Can I know what I'm doing?" Sherlock also asked seriously.

"Particle archives, translate materials, provide professional advice, go out for field work when appropriate, etc. Just do the job that suits you within your professional field, within your acceptable range," Rhestus explained calmly.

"That...that...what's salary?..." Sherlock asked embarrassedly.

"On the Ninth Parish Street, the external special consultant of the Order Demon Hunter Squad is a monthly salary system. The basic salary is 18 pounds. Working hours are from 9 am to 5 pm."

"We provide three daily meals for free. If you go out for field trips, you can reimburse your expenses. You can apply for subsidies within your work scope, if necessary."

Rhine said with a smile, and then added:

"If you accept this offer, I have an additional subsidy for you. Of course, the premise is that you accept it, otherwise it will not be necessary."

Sherlock thought about the monthly salary and calculated it in his mind.

In Berzinham City, 3 kroner can buy a pound of ordinary bread. If you don’t pay attention to the quality of your diet and only fill your stomach, 5 kroner is enough for ordinary people to live a day.

1 gold pound can be exchanged for 100 kroner. Based on Sherlock's living habits and spending habits since she grew up to this day, she can live for about 1 gold pound for a week.

Of course, this is based on the premise of consumption without paying rent, not having to ride in hired carriages from time to time, or having to go to high-end restaurants.

Sherlock clearly remembers that his neighbor Mrs. Brown's husband was a senior tax official with a decent job. It seemed that during the chat, Mr. Brown's monthly salary was 25 pounds plus subsidy.

From this point of view, the monthly salary of special consultants is 18 pounds, which can be regarded as a very good treatment. What's more, there are free catering and additional subsidies.

"I have been a private detective for more than a year and I can't make a few gold pounds in a month..." Sherlock complained about himself.

"I am very willing to accept this position, Mr. Rhinets!"

Sherlock no longer hesitated and replied seriously with a smile.

......

One with the words "Social Investigation Committee Consulting Office" and the words "City Security Department Special Affairs Consulting Office" printed on it, and the bottom of the two contract papers, Sherlock held an ink pen and signed his name:

"Sherlock Kidd".

"Welcome to join, Mr. Sherlock!"

Rhinez sat on a chair in his office, stood up, reached out and looked at Sherlock with a smile.

"Thank you for your employment, Mr. Rhine. Well, I will call me Sherlock in the future, which is more intimate."

Sherlock also reached out his hand and gently held Rhine.

"Okay, Sherlock. You can also call me the captain, which is also a kind of intimacy. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future, so we can continue to deepen our understanding."

Rhines said with a smile, then made a call and sat down.

"Captain, can I know the extra subsidy you mentioned before?" Sherlock asked with a smile in this friendly atmosphere.

"Of course, this is what you deserve, and it is also the additional subsidy that Professor Hoffman recommends you to join."

"Because in the short term, you will never be able to live at 23 South Baker Street. And after accepting this special consultant job, we also want you to live here instead of running ten kilometers every day."

Sherlock's ears suddenly stood up, which means to give me a house?

"When you came in, you probably saw the houses outside the stone brick road?" Rhestus asked with a smile.

“Yes, there are chicken coops, dog rooms, horse porch rooms and storage rooms…”

Sherlock paused in reply and asked, "Do you want me to live there?"

“There are several custodians in them, and we can free up one for your private office. Of course, the expenses of decorating and adding items can be reimbursed.”

Rhines nodded and continued, "This will not only solve your living problems, but also give you an independent place to continue working as a part-time job in your private firm."

Rhineters mentioned "part-time jobs" and aggravated some of his accents.

Sherlock asked with surprise:

"What the captain means is that I can continue to be a private detective?"

"Of course, why not? You have your own circle and your hobbies, and we won't interfere forcibly."

"The special consultant work of the Order Demon Hunter Squad is not always necessary for you to stay on standby. You just need to perform your work within the scope we can contact."

"And, there is another important reason!"

Rhines smiled and looked at Sherlock, and said in a low voice:

"We need you to follow up on the case of Solomon's Secretology Club. Malfoy will probably look for you again because you have what he needs!"
