“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.
