From the very beginning of this gathering, Audis stipulated that the Mysticism Research Society's method of recruiting new members would be 'recommendation-based.' A member could recommend someone they trusted at the gathering, and Audis would use his channels to conduct some investigations, then announce the results to everyone and decide whether to invite the new member to join.

This was quite different from other Extraordinary gatherings in Backlund. Audis could use this to have a certain degree of control over this very loose organization.

In fact, establishing the Mysticism Research Society was a mutually beneficial collaboration between Audis and the Church of Steam and Machinery.

Before this, the Church of Steam's channels for obtaining information were basically only from believers, and their believers were relatively pure, mostly workers, making the channels very limited.

Especially regarding the Extraordinary world of Backlund, the Church of Steam's understanding was very limited. Since Audis convened the gathering, the Church of Steam had successfully solved many Extraordinary cases using clues from transactions, and predicted many sabotage activities by secret organizations.

Only then did Audis gradually gain the attention of the Church of Steam, and he could more easily falsely report expenses.

At the same time, Audis used this gathering to build his own intelligence platform. Each participant was carefully selected by him and could exchange the latest intelligence about Backlund.

At first, everyone didn't take the initiator too seriously, after all, he was just a Sequence 9, but the gathering worked very well, and everyone was willing to participate.

Later, Audis gradually showed his rich mystical knowledge and the sense of mystery he created, which made everyone gradually put away their contempt.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the recommendation from the member with the rough voice. The last time a new member joined was two months ago.

A female member wearing a mask said, "Lion, the serial killer has just been killed, and the official Extraordinary's martial law has not been completely lifted. This is not a good time to recommend a new member."

Each participant has a nickname, or codename. The recommender just now was called "Lion" because of his loud voice, while the female member was called "Peacock."

"Lion" said, "I just think that some of that bounty hunter's channels would be very useful to us, and besides, martial law will be lifted one day."

The tall member called "Hippo" asked in a muffled voice, "What kind of information channels does she have?"

"She has a lot of connections in the East End." "Lion" spread his hands and said, "Everyone should be very clear that the East End is a lawless place, hiding many secrets."

The other members were slightly stunned. Some of them had certain channels in the East End, but basically, they were not very stable, because the turnover rate of information peddlers there was too fast.

"Leader" Audis, seeing that everyone had no objections, said, "Okay, next week I will conduct a certain assessment of the person you recommended."

"Lion" nodded and, according to custom, wrote down the information of the person he wanted to recommend, and the waiter handed it to the "Leader" sitting opposite.

Audis opened the note and saw that the person "Lion" recommended was indeed Hugh Dillenger!

At this time, the unremarkable "Hound" asked "Lion", "Has there been anything unusual in the East End recently?"

"Many vagrants have suddenly disappeared," "Lion" said.

"Peacock" asked with a smile, "Is the always stingy 'Lion' going to become a philanthropist and sponsor the vagrants in the East End?"

The other members laughed along, even a banker couldn't fill this hole.

"Lion", with his rough voice, had a very good temper. He was not angry, but explained, "I received a commission to investigate the sudden disappearance of several vagrants in the East End…"

At this time, "Giraffe", who had a slightly longer neck than ordinary people, interrupted with a relatively delicate voice, "I also received such a commission!"

"Monkey" and "Cheetah" said almost in unison, "Me too."

The four people who received the commission looked at each other. The other members also felt a little strange. Investigating a few vagrants didn't seem to require issuing four commissions.

After a brief silence at the gathering, "Leader" Audis said, "This commission is very abnormal. The four of you be careful not to get involved in some dangerous events."

Audis made such a judgment based on reasonable speculation. Of course, he knew that those vagrants had been caught by human traffickers and secretly sold to the royal family.

The reason why the royal family needed these people was to build a mausoleum for George III. This was a huge conspiracy, and currently, besides some important members of the royal family, perhaps only Audis, who had a "God's perspective", knew the whole story.

"Lion" and the others received such a task, obviously some big figures in the Extraordinary world had noticed the Rune royal family's plan and were doing some investigation.

However, such an investigation with traces to follow was obviously to cover people's eyes, or to divert the Rune royal family's attention. "Lion" and the others might become cannon fodder at any time.

"Lion", "Giraffe", and the other three also realized that this matter was very wrong, and thanked the "Leader" for the reminder.

"Hound" suddenly said to "Lion", "I'll pay 5 pounds to buy the information of the client who issued that task."

"Lion" cleared his throat and smiled, "What do you take me for? I'm a professional…"

"10 pounds."

"Okay, I'll give you a portrait of the client later. But you have to use Extraordinary means to interrogate, don't ruin my reputation."

"Hound" nodded, "That's natural."

No mistakes, one release, one content, one look!

Next, "Hound" spent another 30 pounds to buy the information of the other three clients.

Audis knew very well that "Hound" was from MI9, and they would definitely be interested in such news.

"Peacock" initiated the next topic, "Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone know the specific information about the solving of the 'Serial Killer Case'?"

"Giraffe" smiled, "Didn't you read the newspaper?"

"Peacock" asked back, "Do you believe the content in the newspaper?"

The unremarkable "Hound" said, "I heard that the reason why the murderer killed people was to prepare for a promotion ceremony."

He paused and added, "If anyone wants to know what the promotion ceremony is, they can trade with me separately, I'll give everyone a discount, 50 pounds!"

Several members were eager to try. In this gathering, it was common to trade such Extraordinary information.

"Peacock" said in a not-so-polite tone, "Can you say something of value?"

Audis leaned back and said, "I have heard some slightly more detailed news."

Everyone looked at the "Leader". Generally speaking, the "Leader's" intelligence was more reliable.

Audis said, "It is said that the murderer in the 'Serial Killer Case' was not a human."

"Monkey", whose arms were slightly longer than ordinary people, nodded and said indignantly, "For such a villain, it's right to scold him a few times to relieve hatred."

Audis had to seriously say again, "He is not a human!"

Everyone was slightly stunned and understood what the leader meant.
