Old Henry glanced at Su Changxing, nodded, and said:

”Hmm, do you want to become an Extraordinary? I can be your guide. Do you know why my daughter could become an Imperial Police officer? That’s because she is an Extraordinary too.”

He was almost certain Su Changxing was just an ordinary person with Extraordinary talent, which had only recently emerged.

Su Changxing hurriedly waved his hand and said, ”Forget it, I don’t like all that fighting and killing stuff.”

Old Henry smirked and said, ”But you’re a butcher...”

Su Changxing found Old Henry’s words quite reasonable and candidly said, ”Although I’m a butcher, that’s just a job... Besides, you make it feel so unofficial. Before, a Priest asked me if I wanted to join the Spirit Awakening Class.”

Old Henry suddenly sat up from the bench, somewhat agitated, and said:

”I advise you, even if you don’t become an Extraordinary, not to join the Spirit Awakening Class. That would just make you lose yourself and become someone else’s lackey.”

”A lackey?” Su Changxing asked, somewhat confused.

Old Henry nodded affirmatively and said:

”Yes, a lackey. You will lose your most precious freedom... Being an Extraordinary isn’t all that great. Of course, if you can be a free Extraordinary, that’s not bad either.”

Su Changxing pretended to think for a while and said, ”Aren’t many free Extraordinary people criminals? Like that murderer currently wanted in the town these days.”

”You’re very smart, just like I was when I was young.” Old Henry couldn’t help but praise.

Su Changxing glanced at him and said grumpily, ”When you compliment me, can you avoid including yourself?”

To agree with Henry or not, that’s a question.

Perhaps he could thus become a legitimate Extraordinary rather than a murderer, a Bloody hand Butcher.

Henry took the pipe from his mouth, placed it on the table, and continued:

”Think it over yourself; you have a lot of talent... Don’t tell anyone about this, and if you don’t agree, just pretend like nothing happened.”

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Su Changxing nodded, remained silent for a while, then said, ”Hmm, I’ll think about it... By the way, where’s your daughter? I haven’t seen her. Is the Imperial Police so busy? Working all night without sleep and during the day too.”

Henry paused and said, ”No, she’s sleeping.”

Su Changxing raised an eyebrow and said, ”Hmm? Do Extraordinary people need to sleep too?”

Henry nodded and said, ”Of course, Extraordinary individuals are still human. Are you interested in my daughter? I said she’s very pretty... But if you become an Extraordinary, I won’t play matchmaker for you two.”

Su Changxing glanced at Henry and calmly said, ”Boss, a cup of coffee with milk and sugar, please, and another shot.”

”Alright.” Henry said with a smile.

Soon after.

Lina walked out from inside, still wearing that black coat, looking at Su Changxing with a hint of surprise and said:

”Hmm? You’re here again? You really have a strong spirit, not sleeping all night and still going to pray.”

She noticed the grayish-white plain clothes Su Changxing was wearing.

”I am a devout believer,” Su Changxing said candidly.

Lina sized up Su Changxing and said flatly, ”Doesn’t seem like it.”

Su Changxing said sternly, ”Miss, desecrating or undermining someone’s faith is illegal, as a police officer, you should know that.”

Lina was momentarily speechless, then changed the subject and said, ”Mr. Klein, I checked your background, and it’s very clean. Interested in joining the Imperial Police?”

Meanwhile, Henry glared at Lina.

Lina didn’t seem to care, continued, ”We offer the best benefits, and there’s even a chance to become part of the Nobility... I overheard part of your conversation inside.”

So you were eavesdropping all along... Su Changxing was a bit surprised, if Lina hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have noticed, since Perception wasn’t his strength.

Henry grunted, ”Lina, eavesdropping isn’t a good habit.”

Lina was indifferent and said, ”As police, we often do this sort of thing.”

Are these two not on the same track?

Su Changxing showed a surprised expression, looking at Lina, and said, ”Can I become an Imperial Police officer?”

Lina shook her head and said nonchalantly:

”Not immediately, but you’ll enter a preparatory group, like half an Imperial Police officer, though it’s a very dangerous job you should consider carefully.”

Very familiar feeling.

Ordinary people can’t touch the Extraordinary, but if they meet the conditions to become an Extraordinary, they soon get drawn into this system through various channels.

Su Changxing suspected that the so-called ”Bloody hand Butcher” was also guided by someone, because Klein was indeed a nice guy before, but becoming a murderous maniac wouldn’t seem too surprising either.

Who was the person who sent him letters?

”I can consider it too... By the way, did you catch that murderer?” Su Changxing took a sip of coffee, asking casually.

Lina thought for a bit and said, ”No, there’s no news yet.”

Su Changxing immediately asked, ”Weren’t you here to catch the culprit? Now that it’s solved, are you leaving?”

Lina paused, glanced at Su Changxing, and said, ”No rush, we’re just here for a vacation.”

Truly a conveniently strained reason... Su Changxing inwardly scoffed, smiling, and said, ”So you’re going to work now as well?”

Lina nodded and said, ”Yes, I still have things to do, so I’ll be off.”

Henry looked at Lina, reminded, ”Be careful and don’t do anything foolish.”

”I know, I’m not a child... I’ll be back in a few days.” Lina rolled her eyes, somewhat helplessly.

Su Changxing watched Lina’s departing back and asked puzzled, ”Didn’t she just return? Why is she leaving again.”

Henry seemed a bit unhappy and said, ”Work, of course, or did you really think it’s a vacation? I always disagreed with her becoming an Imperial Police officer.”

”Where is she going?” Su Changxing rubbed his chin, asking casually.

Henry thought for a moment and said, ”Seems like to Mo’an Manor, said there was a major murder case involving hundreds of deaths.”

Mo’an Manor?

Su Changxing stood up, said nonchalantly, ”In that case, I’ll be off too. Got a busy day at the farm.”

Henry stood up with him, took out an Ancient Bronze Pendant from his pocket, and handed it to Su Changxing, saying:

”Go back, think it over, tell me tomorrow. Joining the Imperial Police is definitely a wrong choice... Trust me.”
