Chapter 11 [Suppression Bureau] [Light Bearer]
Mr. Douglas sighed more today than in the past month.
He sighed that Mr. Lynn, who was accused of witchcraft murder last night, had been taken away today as an assistant investigator of the [Suppression Bureau], and his imminent crisis had been quietly resolved. He sighed because this child was involved in the extraordinary event. Who doesn't know that the extraordinary danger is a hundred times more terrible than the slums of the [Steam City] at night?
However...
The poor little guy's family fell into poverty and was forced to make a living in a place like Squirrel Street where poor ghosts and bugs mixed together. How could a well-educated gentleman stay in such a place for a long time!
So, being taken away by the [Suppression Bureau] is also a good choice for Lynn Moriarty.
Mr. Douglas thought so.
In the office, he looked down at Lynn's slightly thin back walking towards the carriage. He could only pick up two sugar cubes and throw them into the tea, silently wishing that the child would have a good future. After all, the great merchant Les, who once created the most prosperous port in the Kingdom of Albion at the Pirate's Mouth, also said: With danger comes opportunity. If you survive and seize it, you can climb up.
Moreover, Mr. Lynn is literate, educated, smart and lucky. Maybe he can become a real respectable gentleman or even an extraordinary person in the [Suppression Bureau] in a few years.
'A respectable person at the age of 16, an extraordinary person at the age of 16, ha! Haha! In the past, it was a 16-year-old master, a 16-year-old upper-class adult, haha...'
When Mr. Douglas thought of the class gap between the son of a bankrupt businessman and a superior person, his originally focused and serious expression was a little dumb. And when he saw that abominable flatterer nodding and bowing to Yevni and Bill who were about to leave No. 63 King's Avenue, the smile on his face became even more intense.
Thank you for Mr. Lynn's return.
No matter how well this matter is done, Douglas and Anthony's names will be in the file, the only difference is that one is a fool who almost delayed the important matter of the [Suppression Bureau], and the other is a smart man who noticed and remedied it in time. Once the year comes when you need to compete for the position of superintendent, this will come in handy.
Lynn has not yet been able to directly feel the gratitude of a kind detective in Elba Field for him. Sitting in this Victorian-style black and gold carriage, the young Lynn looked at this strange and familiar world with a slightly empty look in his eyes.
In addition to the Gothic flying buttresses and pointed arches, there are more modern houses, as well as geometric complexes from the Far South Continent. These houses, which are a mixture of the architects' efforts, are staggered and form the honeycomb of the prosperous industrial city of [Steam City] with a population of over one million. Although the men and women on the street are in good spirits, they all have a sense of depression due to the sluggish economy.
Lynn's next trip is to 404 Bru Street.
That was the branch of the [Suppression Bureau], where Miss Yevni and Mr. Bill were based, or rather, their office building. Bill said that they were pressed for time and could not stay in Elba Field any longer. At the same time, for the sake of the next action and Lin En's life, he suggested that Lin En should follow them.
Whether it was out of curiosity about Beyonders, half of Sequence 9, sexual characteristics, or alertness to the hunting habits of [Demon Spirits], Lin En had no reason to refuse the bait thrown by Bill.
He took the bait obediently.
It would be better to say that this was one of the good situations that Lin En hoped to see. He was now penniless and had very little knowledge of the Beyonders in this world. The danger level was no less than that of a little kid playing football at a crossroads where a mud truck was roaring. If he did not want to become fertilizer for the stinky ditch of Squirrel Street, following Yevni and the others was a good choice. Moreover, the half-Sequence 9 that Bill deliberately only said half of before was too worrying.
Strictly speaking, Sequence 9 should be translated directly into Albion language as: Ranked 9th or 9th person.
Because of the deep impression of a certain traitor in the previous life, Lin En naturally called it Sequence 9, which is also easier to translate.
The door of the black and gold carriage is printed with the silver emblem of the [Suppression Bureau], with a sword in front of the shield, wheat ears and stripes as the background, and a holy ball symbolizing theocracy and a secular scepter crossed on the top. Lin En's cognition told him that this emblem element has some connotations, but he stopped at the door because of the lack of relevant knowledge.
On the way, Ye Funi, the mysterious lady hidden in the cloak, sat upright. The shaking of the carriage seemed to be non-existent to her, and she herself did not make any unnecessary movements. Lin En could easily judge that this was a person with super strong willpower. Even the soldiers before the time travel were not so rigid in their daily lives.
However, Lin En was more curious about what Ye Funi's true appearance looked like under the yellow half-cloak.
In contrast, Mr. Bill was much more normal.
His personality and behavior are all casual, and with his squinting eyes and warm smile, he doesn't look like an Albion person, but more like a person from the neighboring kingdom of Gowen.
During the casual chat on the road, Bill also told Lynn that he is indeed half Gowen, but it is a pity that no lady has yet fallen for his freedom and romance. However, Lynn thinks that if Mr. Bill can change his bad taste in teasing others, it will have an immediate effect.
During the chat, Bill also briefly introduced the [Suppression Bureau] to Lin En.
In fact, the [Suppression Bureau] is not a hidden organization. Sometimes it will be published in newspapers to publicize its achievements. Lin En has seen it in newspapers. The direct and rough name represents its power. It is an extraordinary organization that radiates to major cities in the Kingdom of Albion. It is an organization led by the royal family, the military, and the church to absorb forces to suppress all bad and illegal extraordinary.
This organization has existed for more than 350 years, and it has also made the once chaotic extraordinary field a history of 350 years. For example, Ye Funi and Bill are branches under the [Suppression Bureau], members of a department called [Lightman]. The [Suppression Bureau] is a behemoth formed by relying on such departments. This giant uses swords and shields to protect the peace of Albion.
As for more specific content, Bill did not tell Lin En too much, and many places were abruptly stopped to suspense people.
Lin En also understood this in his heart.
This kind of semi-hidden extraordinary power did not take over the power and absorb a large amount of resources, which is enough to show that there are many constraints in the extraordinary world. They should have great power in extraordinary matters, such as the detectives in Elba Field who have to give in and please, but they should not intervene blatantly if it does not involve extraordinary matters. If it were not for Lin En's half Sequence 9, Bill would not have chatted with him so much.
Amid the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling, Lin En and his team arrived at the [Lightman] branch at 404 Bru Street.
A vivid carving of a burning furnace is carved on the arch of the office building.
