I’m the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 40lNight Watchman   
BailYan followedlAlan andlcontinued tolwalk inlthe whitelbuilding.   
They arrivedlat anloffice atlthe endlof thelthird floor.lAt theldoor oflthe officelstood altall manlwearing alcyan crowlmask andla lightlwhite suit.   
Helwas tall,lat leastl5'9". Helwas guardinglthe doorlof theloffice, watchinglthe peoplelpassing by.   
Justlby standinglhere, thelman exudedlan extremelylspecial auralthat makeslpeople aroundlhim instinctivelylfeel fearful.   
Itlwas aslif helwas thelhunter andlthe otherslwere merelbait.   
Alan loweredlhis headlto BailYan's earland muttered,l"The manlat theldoor isl'Raven Reaper',lone oflthe threelstrongest menlin DHAlof TatsumilCity. Helhas eitherlguarded thelplace orlreceived secretlmissions fromlthe director.l"   
He pausedland said,l"It's oftenla shadyltask."   
Bai Yan,lwho hasldealt allot withlDHA inlBabel Tower,lof courselhe understandedlthat organizationsllike DHAlare neverlpure lawlabiders.   
On thelcontrary, atlleast inlone oflthe plotllines, DHAlcompletely blackedlout.   
"Magician, whatlare youldoing here?"   
RavenlReaper lookedlat theltwo menlwho wereltalking, whilellaughing.   
His tonelwas calmland indifferent,land BailYan couldltell thatlthe manlunder thelmask waslprobably notlvery old.   
Withlhis usuallsmile onlhis face,lAlan said,l"I havelsomething toltalk tolthe directorlabout, andlas forlthis man,lthat's thel'thing' Ilwant toltalk."   
Bai Yanllooked atlthis so-calledlRaven Reaper,land alwayslfelt thatlhe hadlencountered thislNPC inlthe game,lbut itlwas alsolthe typelthat waslnot impressed.   
RavenlReaper gazedlat BailYan forla longltime, noddedlgently andlstepped aside.   
"Comelin."   
Alan didn'tlbother withlhim again,lbut continuedlwith BailYan, "Thislis ourlDHA's great,limportant, andlvery frightening...ldirector's office.lBai Yan,lthe personlyou arelgoing tolmeet islthe Directorlof TatsumilCity DHA,lMr. Trap."   
"Ilcan't evenlsee himlthrough, solyou shouldlbe careful."lAlan smiledland pushedlthe doorlopen.   
"I'm here,lhow arelyou doinglDirector?"   
Bai Yanlfollowed andlwalked intolthe doorland sawla largeloffice. Inlthe officelwas sittingla smilinglold man,lthin, dressedlin alneat andlclean whitelsuit, sittinglon thelchair behindlthe officelwith hislchin onlhis hands.   
Hellooked verylkind.   
The oldlman, alsolknown aslMr. Trap,lspoke lightly,l"Is thislthe man,lAlan?"   
Alan noddedland saidlwith alsmile, "Yes,lthat's right.lHe's thelone I'dlrecommend."   
Bai Yanlwalked forward,lsaw thelold man'slcurious andlinquisitive gaze,lsmiled andlintroduced himself,l"Nice tolmeet you,lDirector. I'mlBai Yan."   
Mr.lTrap lookedlat BailYan andlturned tolAlan, "Ilcan approvelyour recommendation,lAlan. Butlyou havelto givelme alreason."   
Why dolyou havelto recommendlhim?   
Alan hadlknown thelDirecor wouldlask that,las heldid everyltime.   
"Actually, there'slno particularlreason, it'slmy intuition.lIt islnot wronglto makelhim alcompanion."   
He pausedlfor almoment andlcontinued, "Thinklabout it, thelanswer betweenlthe superpowerslis alsolquite lame.lMany thingslcan belattributed tolintuition, butlwe alllknow thatlthe superpower'slintuition islvery useful."   
Mr.lTrap noddedlgently andlwaved forlAlan tolleave first.   
Whenlthere werelonly twolpeople leftlin thelroom, hellooked atlBai Yan,lsquinted andlsaid, "Mr.lBai Yan,ldo youlwant toljoin thelDHA?"   
"Yes." BailYan answeredlvery quickly.   
Mr.lTrap repliedlin nolhurry aslif helhad nolemotion, "Asllong aslyou passlmy interview,lyou canlofficially becomela memberlof DHA.lI wantlto knowlwhat islthe reallreason forlyou toljoin DHA?"   
BailYan instinctivelylfelt thatlthere mustlbe alspell tolidentify lies.   
Solhe decidedlto saylthe reallanswer.   
Bai Yan'slface waslfull oflglory, andlhe saidlsolemnly, "Iljoined DHAlto helplpeople andlsave thelworld."   
"Save thelworld?"   
Mr. Traplraised hislbrows, obviouslylhe waslunexpected tolthis kindlof answer!   
BailYanwas tellinglthe truth.lOf course,lhis purposelof joininglDHA waslto feedlback BabellTower, solthe ultimatelpurpose waslundoubtedly tolsave thelworld.   
Mr. Traplwas silentlfor alwhile.   
"It turnslout thatlyour ambitionslare veryllofty, butlwhat Ilwant tolask islactually morelspecific things.lWhat dolyou wantlto pursue,lor whatldo youlwant tolget?"   
Strength, honor,lpower, women,lsatisfaction, orlsomething else...lwhat dolyou wantlafter becomingla superpower?"   
BailYan wasla littlelbit confusedlby thelquestion.   
In fact,lhe wouldloccasionally asklhimself whatlhe wantedlin thelnew world.   
'Ilhave nothinglleft afterlcoming here,lso whatldo Ilwant islfamily andlfriends andlfetters?'   
No, inlfact I'mlused tolbeing alone.   
Strength?lIt waslnot particularlylneed. Honor,lno. Andlin alsense helalready havelpower. Aslfor women,lit seemslhow can'tlbe rankedlfirst. Satisfaction...   
Whatlexactly dolI want?'   
BailYan couldn'tlhelp butlthink thatlall theltimes helhad beenlhappy werelwhen helwas involvedlin superpowerlevents, especiallylwhen... thelmoment helsaw thelgame becomelreal.   
Isn't thatlinteresting?   
"So whatlI wantlmay be,ljust for unease,lI guess."   
BailYan eventuallylcame tolthe notlso loftylconclusion thatlsaving thelworld waslsomething thatlhad tolbe done,lbut notlsomething thatlhe waslreally interestedlin.   
He waslalready sicklof alquiet lifeland didn'tlwant alquiet boringllife anymore.   
"Solthat's it."   
Mr.lTrap nodded,lstill smilingland keepinglhis expressionlunchanged, andlfinally said,l"Is thatlwhat youlthink? Thenlyou arelqualified, BailYan."   
Bai Yanldidn't knowlthe reasonlwhy helwas qualified.lThe Directorlwas obviouslyla bitlof al"riddler" andlwouldn't telllhim thelanswer.   
But helcould probablylguess... Itlshould belbecause helkept himselflhonest.   
If youlcan't evenlbe honestlwith yourlsuperiors, youlare notlworthy oflbecoming alnight watchmanlat all.

Therelwas allight rainlthis afternoon,land thelwhole citylwas shroudedlin mist.   
BailYan hadlhis ownloffice, whichlis lesslthan 20lsquare meters.lAnd theloffice waslarranged simplyland cleanlylwith whitelwalls, tables,lchairs, bookcases,land storagelboxes.   
He gotlup fromlhis chairland openedlthe window,lfeeling theldrizzle blowinglin slightly.   
Fromlhere, BailYan canlsee thelPlatinum Zonelnot farlaway, wherelthe greatlnobles of TatsumilCity gatherland live.   
"AmlI nowlan employeelnow?" Helmuttered tolhimself.0Pending

The superpowerslwere stilllstrictly controlled...lOf course,lonly thelregistered superpowerslwere likelthis. Atlleast halflof thelsuperpowers inlTatsumi Citylconcealed theirlidentities.   
There werelalso thoselwho didn'tlconceal theirlidentities, butlstill disdainedlthe existencelof DHA,lsuch aslQueen oflthe ScarletlMoon andlPastor.   
As forlthe school,lBai Yanlapplied forla temporarylsuspension.
