Angdu nodded, continued to talk about the next arrangements, and worked out an action plan with Selin for the next period of time.
At the end of the meeting, when everyone was about to leave, Selin suddenly said: "Su Ge stays."
Su Ge sat back down with a puzzled look on his face, while Selin took out a few bills and handed them to Su Ge.
"Last week's salary, plus contributions from previous operations, totals nine pounds."
Selin placed the banknotes neatly on the table in front of Su Ge, patted Su Ge hard on the shoulder and said:
"Very good. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be able to achieve this level by yourself. Although you are still very immature in some places, you are already a qualified purifier."
After the praise, Selin's face darkened, "I know you may still be thinking about that child, but this is part of our responsibilities. We are always accompanied by danger and death."
"I won't advise you. You can continue to grieve, but you have to remember that the dead can never come back to life, and those who are alive still need our help."
Su Ge looked at Selin's face, nodded vigorously, seemed to have remembered something, and took out a blood-soaked portrait from his inner pocket.
"This is?"
"Rise's portrait was left by Sid." Su Ge's voice was trembling, "I don't know what I can do for him, so can you please help me make a blessing."
"What's the content of the blessing?" Selin took the portrait.
"Just... I hope they can all be blessed by the goddess."
"Well, leave it to me." Selin nodded to Su Ge, saying that he would give a blessing as Su Ge said, and then turned around and left.
Only Su Ge and Angdu were left in the prayer room.
"Now you know, Brother Selin only looks cold on the surface." Ondu said.
Su Ge nodded and did not continue.
In the empty prayer room, there was only the faint sound of two people breathing.
After an unknown amount of time, Angdu stood up suddenly and said, "This matter is over. Don't think about it too much, otherwise you will never be able to move forward."
Su Ge took a deep breath and asked: "Mr. Ondu, in this case, that Neo...should be fine, right?"
"This matter has nothing to do with him in the first place. What can an ordinary person do when it involves the extraordinary realm?" Angdu changed the subject, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"
"Afternoon? I should listen to Miss Cecia..."
"That means it's okay. I happen to have to deal with something. If it's okay, come with me."
Angdu's work is almost at two extremes. Sometimes he is vigorous and resolute, and sometimes he is slow and slow. Su Ge has adapted to Angdu's behavior and can roughly infer the importance of things from Angdu's attitude.
"Don't forget your salary." Angdu reminded him standing at the door.
Su Ge turned around, grabbed a few banknotes and stuffed them into his pocket, and quickly followed Angdu's footsteps.
Holding the money in his hand, Su Ge's mood gradually became clearer. He told himself not to think about Sid's affairs as much as possible, and followed Angdu all the way while calculating his small treasury.
After deducting the food expenses in the past few days, he now has a huge savings of 85 pounds, plus a penny coin. Even in York City, he can barely be regarded as a middle class.
However, he was not proud or arrogant, because he earned all this money at the risk of his life.
Considering that he was about to be promoted, he had to prepare enough money in advance for the recipe for level nine because he didn't know what materials he would need at that time.
It would be best if he could be like Rank 10 and free of charge... Su Ge thought about it in his mind, but after thinking about it, he also felt that this was impossible. He felt that he was a little naive and started to laugh again.
"What are you thinking about?" Angdu saw Su Ge's appearance and asked proactively.
"I was thinking about rank nine," Su Ge looked at his hands and suddenly said, "Mr. Angdu, I seem to have completely integrated and digested the elixir."
"Really?" Angdu's eyes lit up and he stopped.
"It should be true. Although it's hard to explain clearly, I know that this is how it feels." Su Ge recalled, "Maybe in the previous battle, I used the 'thief' ability to get that card.
Portrait, this is consistent with the actions of a 'thief', right?"
"Only you know whether it's right or not, but if that's what you think, there should be nothing wrong."
"Congratulations, you have finally become a real 'thief'."
Su Ge laughed, and the previous haze was swept away, and he asked: "The next step..."
"Promoted to level nine." Angdu said, "Isn't this simple?"
"I mean... Archbishop Oghaima told me before that I could choose between the ninth-level formula and ectoplasm, but I haven't thought about it yet."
"Then think about it first, but I don't suggest you make a choice right away."
"Why?"
"Because in this world, there is something called accident." Angdu said pretending to be profound.
Accident?
Su Ge looked at Angdu's face, and suddenly he remembered what the question he had forgotten in the prayer room was.
It's about the forbidden weapon.
Su Ge quickly asked: "Mr. Angdu, I remember you said that that item needs to be sealed..."
"I guessed that you wanted to ask this before, so I guessed that I would bring you here with me. You are right. The place we are going to now is further down the land of Verud..."
"That's where the extraordinary weapons are stored in the Leinu Church, the Kalmos Gate."
????????????
No. 13, Huangyanbei Street, Shangwan District, York City.
High-end restaurants in Morn West.
Gebion put on a fair-skinned face and waited in a separate private room for a long time, but still did not see Sid appear.
It wasn't until the appointed time passed that Gebion stood up, held his cane and walked out.
"Hi, beautiful lady, I would like to ask if you have seen Mr. Sid today. He asked me to meet here, but I never waited for him to show up."
Gebion casually stopped a maid carrying tableware, walked aside and asked.
The maid was surprised by the gentlemanly attitude and handsome face of the man in front of her. Her cheeks quickly turned red and she asked in a daze: "You mean, Mr. Sid? The one who doesn't like closing doors?"
"Yes, his little quirks impressed everyone." Gebiong asked patiently.
The maid showed a disappointed look and said: "I'm afraid you won't see him. Although it has not been reported in the York Daily News today, everyone already knows that Mr. Sid was killed in his temporary residence just this morning.
"
"Killed?" Gebion asked in surprise.
"There is no mistake. The police station has issued a new notice. It is said that Mr. Sid was killed by the previous serial killer. What's his name? Well, Gebion, that seems to be the name."
"Gabion?" Gebion narrowed his eyes habitually, and at the same time the expression on his face began to turn cold, "Did you hear that correctly?"
"Perhaps I heard it wrong," the maid said with a sad look, "The great goddess of space, what a pity. Apart from that little habit of not liking to close the door, Mr. Sid is really a qualified gentleman.
He always leaves us a generous tip after every meal.”
After feeling sad for a while, the maid said goodbye to Gebion and continued her daily work.
Gebion left the restaurant alone and walked on the empty street.
Suddenly, his expression became ferocious, and at the same time, the flesh and blood on his neck began to surge.
He stopped in place, pressed his neck with one hand, and rubbed it for a long time before the abnormality disappeared.
"Huh, damn Purifier..."
Gebion cursed angrily in a low voice, moved his legs, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
????????????
Leinu Church, second underground floor, in front of Kalmos Gate.
The light from the torch can only shine around the corner, and the light becomes dimmer as you go toward the second underground floor.
Silence and darkness are the eternal themes here.
From the surrounding stone walls, Su Ge could smell the smell of time. He didn't know if the darkness was the shadow left by time, or maybe there was no concept of time in this place.
If he were alone, Su Ge would still be a little scared and apprehensive, but now Angdu was standing next to him, he had no scruples.
He looked at the small door in front of him and marveled at the dense and complicated patterns on it, as well as the size of the door.
"Mr. Angdu, are we going the wrong way? Isn't this door a bit too small?"
Angdu stepped forward, groped the pure black stone wall that was rarely used in the Church of the Sky, and said, "You're right. There is only one way on the second underground floor. I can find it with my eyes closed."
"So the Calmos Gate is only this big?"
"The Kalmos Gate is this stone wall. This small door is just for the convenience of us humans entering and exiting."
"We humans?" Su Ge felt confused in his heart, "Is there anything else going in and out?"
"The forbidden weapons inside, especially those with the 'alive' characteristic, are always thinking about escaping from it. This door actually exists for them."
"At least two deacons will be arranged to guard the place at the same time, and they will work in four shifts every day to prevent accidents."
"In addition, extraordinary beings above the status of bishops will patrol every day and properly seal the forbidden weapons that appear abnormal inside."
Ondu explained to Su Ge about the Kalmos Gate, but never opened the door and went in.
Su Ge noticed that Angdu's voice was trembling, and his palms were constantly wiping sweat, as if he was very nervous.
"Mr. Ondu, are you nervous?"
"A bit," Angdu turned around and admitted frankly, "but it's not because of the things inside, but because of the things that happened in front of the door."
"What happened?" Su Ge was curious.
"This is not the point. If you have the opportunity to see an extraordinary person named Lunita in the future, remember to stay away from him."
"It's very scary. In a way, it's scarier than what's inside."
Angdu said, pushing open the small door on the stone wall.
