Wutong Street is the political center of York City, where most of the government departments of the Wein nation are headquartered. When foreign newspapers report on the Wein nation's attitude, they often like to refer to it as "the attitude of Wutong Street."
Alfred first went to the police station, then circled around and parked the car in front of a historic building behind it.
"Young master, we're here."
"Okay."
Through the car window, Karun looked towards the building where a row of security personnel were patrolling. This was not unusual on Wutong Street.
Before getting out of the car, Karun looked at the business card again: Neo. Roman.
The position was a clerk under the third office of the seventh group of the regional management department.
"Alfred, I think that deputy director..."
"Is there a problem with the deputy director?"
"No, it's the clerk next to him. I didn't notice it at first, but I woke up during the ride here."
Weikole was willing to use ten thousand Order Coupons and help with promotion as a price to shut me up. In addition to worrying that I would report and appeal like Mr. Pavarotti did in the past, there must be other objective reasons.
He once instructed me that if someone came to verify the situation with me, I needed to follow the case description in the official letter he gave me. But this deputy director named Mion did it too casually, as if he was wearing a sign on his forehead indicating that he came here specifically to curry favor with Weikole.
Now that the promotion is over and the reward has been given, I have also confirmed the content of Weikole's credit in the official letter, so the matter seems to be over.
Therefore, Weikole's real concern for inspection can only be found within this limited scope, between two people. Since it's not the deputy director, it could be the clerk next to him. This is very consistent with the style of the Order Whip."
"So, young master, when you get your identity authentication here and go find this clerk, you need to be very careful."
"He has no reason to be interested in me. He hasn't even met me. Be cautious, give me the briefcase."
"Young master, here it is."
Alfred handed Karun a briefcase containing his personal files. It was a "fake identity" made by the Allen family to help Karun enter the Order of the Gods. Bog specially called to ask Karun's preference for a name, and Karun was working at a clinic at the time, so Bertha randomly chose a surname "Silva" for him, and Karun directly responded to the Allen family with this surname.
As for the name "Karun," because it is very common and there are many people with the same name, Karun decided to keep it. After all, using too many fake names is like setting a bunch of different passwords. Sometimes, instead of confusing others, it confuses oneself.In addition, there was a letter of introduction from "Mr. Pavaro" in his briefcase, of course, written by Karun himself.
"I'll go in first."
"Young master, I'll wait for you here."
Karun got out of the car, climbed the steps, and entered the building.
The interior of the building was spacious, with a consultation desk and seven or eight beautiful ladies in black uniforms standing inside.
As Karun walked over, the lady who was originally facing him was pushed aside by the one next to her. She smiled and asked Karun proactively, "Hello, sir, how can I assist you?"
Karun knew that this was a treatment he could not enjoy with Mr. Pavaro's mask on.
"Hello, I'm here to apply for identity documents."
"Okay, please follow me." The lady at the consultation desk came out very warmly and led Karun into the hall, to a window. "Here is good."
"Thank you."
"You're too polite."
A middle-aged man sat behind the window. He kept his eyes on the lady at the front desk, then waved to Karun perfunctorily and asked, "What kind of certificate do you want to apply for?"
"God's servant."
The middle-aged man was stunned, finally looked at Karun, and said, "That's not here, you need to go to the second floor."
"Thank you."
Karun got up, and the lady at the front desk smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't ask about your needs clearly."
"No, I didn't explain it clearly."
"You can go up to the second floor from the stairs here. I can't accompany you, sir."
"Okay, thank you."
Karun carried his briefcase and went up to the second floor.
There were a group of security personnel standing at the entrance of the second floor, but no one checked Karun, and he walked past them directly.
Although most of the people in the second floor hall were still wearing suits and leather shoes, there were already many priests wearing various formal god robes.
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
There was also a consultation desk here, with beautiful ladies standing inside, but they were all wearing black god robes. From their badges, they could be identified as a group of god servants.
When Karun approached, the lady at the consultation desk who was facing him said, "Praise the order."
Hmm, this was the right tone.
Karun immediately responded, "Praise the order."
"Hello, may I ask how can I assist you?"
"I'm here to apply for a god servant identity document."
"Okay, do you have a letter of introduction?"
"Yes."
"Okay, may I ask the level of your introducer?"
"Mr. Pavaro, the trial judge of the Blue Bridge community."
"Okay, please follow me."
Karun followed the lady at the consultation desk inside. There were many windows inside, and the longest queue was for those who spontaneously transformed into god servants. The second longest queue was for those who had guides. Because Karun had a letter of introduction from the judge, he could go directly to the windows with almost no people at the very end to queue up. As soon as he walked over, the person in front of him had finished his business and left the position empty.Sitting in front of the window, the middle-aged man inside was not like downstairs. He looked very serious, wearing a black robe:
"Identification information, introduction letter."
Karun opened his briefcase, took out the corresponding documents, and then put Neo's business card on top before handing it over.
The other party took a serious look at the business card, then roughly flipped through the information and began to fill out the data card for Karun. After the data card was filled out, a red paper was pasted on it and handed to Karun, saying:
"Sir, go over there for the test and show them this side."
After speaking, he smiled at Karun.
"Thank you."
Karun pointed to the documents inside.
"Oh, the resume document will take some time. I will fill it out here as soon as possible. You can go and take the test, and I should be done here too."
"Okay, thank you."
When Karun got up and left, he walked towards the testing area.
There were many people waiting in line at the testing area, but Karun followed the instructions and placed the side with the red sticker in front of him. Soon, a staff member walked over and signaled for Karun to go into the room.
It was a space the size of an ordinary office, but it looked very empty inside, with only a crystal ball floating in the center and an old man with white hair sitting in a chair wearing reading glasses.
The old man waved his hand, and the data card in Karun's hand fell into his hand. He said without looking up:
"Come forward and put your hand on the sensing ball."
"Okay."
The whole process from before to entering here was like a physical examination.
Now, Karun encountered a problem. He couldn't let his physical examination results appear too healthy.
Because even Puerh did not expect Karun's progress to be so fast. Originally, she thought that after becoming a god servant, she could directly find loopholes to operate and obtain the identity of the Order of the Gods. But Karun directly jumped levels, from God Initiate to God Shepherd, and now, he was only one step away from being a judge. And it was because of his pursuit of perfection that he deliberately didn't break through.
After all, "wild" god servants are not rare. When they grow from wild to God Initiate, they will be noticed because this means that you have extraordinary talent. So under normal circumstances, "clean" people without family attributes of the church who obtain divine revelation and become God Initiates in society will be specially trained after entering the church system. Because this largely means that the Order of the Gods has extra favor towards you.
Karun was even more exaggerated.
But he didn't want this kind of exaggeration.
Therefore, when others put their hands on the crystal ball, they were thinking about how to maximize the release of their spiritual power to make the color of the crystal ball more vivid. Karun, on the other hand, silently chanted in his heart, "Just a little bit, just a little bit, not too much."
Then, Karun tried to control himself and only released a little bit of spiritual power.As expected, the crystal ball did not shine brightly, only a small black dot appeared inside, indicating something.
"Divine servant." The old man looked up, smiling at Karun. "But the brightness is very pure, you must be full of reverence for the God of Order."
"Yes, that's right." Karun put his hands on his chest. "Praise the great God of Order."
The old man flicked his finger, and the data card flew back into Karun's hand. Then he waved his hand, indicating that Karun could leave.
Karun walked out holding the data card, which had a seal on it.
Returning to the previous service window, Karun saw the clerk quickly stamping. As he approached, Karun saw a stamp confirming his identity and background information.
This should have been issued by the church and confirmed through the police station, but now it was omitted.
"Phew..."
"Okay, sir, this is your original data; this data bag is your current file, which contains your divine servant certificate and church documents. I have kept the filing. Please take it."
"Thank you." Karun put a stack of documents in order into his briefcase. In the middle, he found a long hair on his cuff, which should have been from one of the previous consultation desk ladies. He casually turned the hair a few times on the button of his own file bag.
"I think you don't need to adjust, do you?"
"No, I don't."
"Well, if you need to adjust the file now, you'd better hurry up. Otherwise, the file will be sent to the archive room, and it will take about a week to make adjustments. Although the people in the archive room complain about their workload every day, I think it's because they are too lazy.
If you complete the transfer today, the file can be taken away directly."
"Thank you for your reminder."
"You're welcome, it's my duty."
It's like assigning work. If you have a relationship, you can choose by yourself. If you don't have a relationship, you can only be randomly assigned.
Karun carried his briefcase and returned to the consultation desk again, handing his card to the lady who led him earlier.
"Excuse me, what floor is this?"
"Sir, please take the elevator over there, 24th floor."
"Okay, thank you."
Karun walked to the elevator and waited. After a while, the elevator door opened, and there was an elevator operator inside, asking each person's floor.
The elevator stopped at several floors, and finally arrived at the 24th floor.
Karun followed the signs and began to look for the third office of Section 3.
He found it, in a corner of the office area. Karun knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Pushing the door open, Karun saw a fat man's desk right next to the office door. Generally, only marginalized people would be assigned to this position.
"Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Neo."
"Neo, Neo!" The fat man shouted.
Soon, Neo walked out from inside.
"Are you looking for me?""Hello, Mr. Neo. Judge Parvolo sent me to find you. I have already obtained the certificate of divine servant."
"So fast? Wow, I just got back. Hehe."
"Judge Parvolo asked me to come as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, yes. Judge Parvolo is indeed an impatient person."
Neo reached out and grabbed Karun's shoulder, while saying to the fat man sitting at the door, "I will help him adjust the file. When the director comes back, ask him to let me know."
"Okay."
Neo took Karun out of this office area and walked straight into the depths. Soon, the space became darker and darker, and finally, a toilet appeared in front of Karun.
"I'll go first. Do you need anything?" Neo asked.
"No." Karun shook his head.
"Okay, wait for me."
Neo walked in, and a few minutes later, he walked out wiping his hands with paper and pointed to the front, indicating that Karun should follow him.
Karun followed him to a separate elevator. The elevator door opened, and there was also an elevator operator inside. Neo took out his own credentials, walked in, and Karun followed.
After the elevator went up to the 32nd floor and stopped, the direction of the door that opened was not the front door of the elevator, but the back door. Neo walked in, and Karun followed.
Similar to an elevator entrance, it was a separate independent space inside. Neo took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, then sat behind the desk.
At this moment, his temperament had changed. He was no longer a cautious clerk but more like a department head with considerable authority.
"Do you know the Whip of Order?" Neo asked Karun.
"I know."
"Tell me your understanding of the Whip of Order."
"The existence of the Whip of Order is to wipe away the dust on the order."
"Well, you understand it well. After you go back, please ask Judge Parvolo to give you another transfer application. Then, I will transfer your position to the Parvolo Trial Court under the Blue Bridge Community. But now, I have another suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
"I want to."
"You should have guessed it now. Do you want to join the Whip of Order? Just answer yes or no."
"Yes."
"Okay." Neo pressed the desk bell, and a woman in a black divine robe walked in. "Hand over your file to her, and it will be returned soon."
"Okay." Karun handed his file to the woman, who took the file and walked back to the room where she came from.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked for your name yet?"
"Karun Silva."
"Okay, then I'll just call you Karun. You can call me... Captain."
"Yes, Captain."
"What's your relationship with Judge Parvolo? Are you familiar with him?"
"Not familiar."
"Then why did he recommend you?"
"I don't know."Neo nodded and smiled. "I guess there must be something he likes about you."
Karun nodded, still a little confused.
Thanks to Pavaro's character design, many things could become very simple.
"Here's the deal. In five minutes, you will become an unofficial member of the Order Whip Squad. If there's nothing going on, you'll need to report your work every month. I'll let you know how to do that later. You need to keep your identity as secret as possible, understood?"
"Yes, I understand."
"If there's something going on, we'll notify you to gather. Of course, there won't be anything going on most of the time. In addition, you can receive an extra 100 Order Coupons every month as an allowance, just like your god servant allowance. For confidentiality reasons, you need to come to me to collect it."
"Okay."
"Mm."
Neo nodded and continued, "There have been a lot of things happening in the Blue Bridge community recently, causing many people to be involved and either die or go to jail. There are now many vacant positions. Work hard, and your future will be guaranteed."
"Yes, Captain."
"You're easier to talk to than Pavaro's judge. I hope you can become a person as upright as Mr. Pavaro."
"I will, Captain!"
"Good."
Soon, the door opened again, and a woman in a god robe handed Karun his file bag and then a gray file bag.
Neo stood up and said to Karun, "Whip for order!"
Karun immediately responded solemnly, "For order!"
"Okay, you may leave now," Neo said.
"Yes, Captain."
Karun walked to the door, or more precisely, the elevator entrance, and pressed the button. The elevator door opened soon after, and Karun walked in. The elevator operator pressed the floor button for him.
When the elevator door opened and Karun walked out, he found himself on the first floor. He walked out and got into Alfred's car, and Alfred drove away.
Karun opened the gray file bag. When he held it in his hand earlier, he felt that it was very thin. It turned out that there was only one piece of paper inside, with contact information on it. In addition, there was a gray badge with a whip pattern on it.
Was it really that simple? No, was it really that casual?
Karun took out his file bag and pulled the drawstring. He found that the strand of hair he had wrapped around it earlier was still there, which meant that the woman who took his file bag didn't even open it. She just sat in there for a while, maybe drinking a cup of tea or coffee, and then gave him this bag. There might even be a stack of these gray bags on her desk.So, he was not even a member of the Order Whip team, just an informant for them. He couldn't even be considered an informant, because he only received a monthly allowance of 100 Order Tokens and had to come to see Neo in person to collect it.
The only thing that really belonged to him was this ring with a whip emblem?
Karun picked up the ring and examined it carefully. Perhaps because his fingers were a little stronger, the ring suddenly cracked with a "click" in the middle.
"It's actually made of plastic..."
