Chapter 210 Purpose
"...It's a pity that I don't know anything."
In a high-end hotel room, Munch. Wright shook his head at Annan's sudden visit.
"I haven't received any news from the observatory for a while, and I don't know what happened at the headquarters. As for the White Knight's movements, it's even more impossible for me to know."
"Didn't you take the initiative to contact me?"
Annan came directly the next day after remembering the stargazer at the observatory.
The Observatory said it would send someone over, but something seemed to have happened before, causing the delay.
But now that summer vacation has passed, no one from the observatory has shown up.
Annan didn't mind waiting any longer, but since he had time today, he would stop by and ask about the situation as if he were visiting a friend.
Then, there is still no news here.
"I don't have a way to proactively contact you, and even if I had, I wouldn't do it."
Munch paused for a moment.
"It's possible that very serious changes have occurred at the headquarters. If something really happens, I will become the ignition of the observatory left outside... I will not do anything until I receive contact from the headquarters."
"Is stargazing at the observatory so dangerous? Why are you even prepared for this?"
Annan doesn't mince words.
There's nothing to be polite about here, not to mention he really doesn't understand.
"About this..."
Munch was silent for a few seconds.
"Actually, I shouldn't tell you these things, but now, it should be okay..."
The young stargazer no longer hesitated. He took a breath and told a secret about his organization.
"As you said, stargazing at the observatory is very dangerous. We are always on the line of danger. Stargazers at the headquarters are really likely to have serious accidents at any time and anywhere. Just Like, a century ago, before the World War broke out..."
Annan remained quiet, but listened with interest.
"That time, the observatory suffered a very serious blow. Half of the people in the observatory, which originally had only a small number of members, died, and then some people went crazy or were distorted. The final result was that the people in the observatory were Inside, an extremely bad cult was born..."
Monk licked his dry lips.
"You should have heard of the name of this cult...the Abyss Cult, in fact, was split from the Observatory..."
"The founder of the Abyss Order is actually a stargazer at your observatory?"
Annan opened his eyes slightly in surprise.
Regarding the existence of the Abyss Cult, he has naturally conducted relevant investigations, but the information he obtained is really not much, and it feels not very accurate.
It is estimated that only state officials or white knights will have clear information about this cult, but Annan, an ordinary magic student, has no way to obtain this confidential information.
At least, he really didn't know how the Abyss Order appeared.
Now he knows.
"What did the members of the Abyss Order who split off at that time see in the observatory?"
"...seeing things that cannot be seen, seeing things that we must see."
Munch was still the same, without answering directly.
Annan was used to it, so he wasn't angry because the other party had changed into the Riddler again.
"Stargazing at our observatory is to see things that must never be seen... things that you will also want to see in the future."
"Is there really something hidden in the night sky in the other world?"
Regarding the so-called stargazing at the observatory, Annan had actually guessed that it might be dangerous a long time ago. What he wants to know now is why the observatory continues to conduct observations even though it knows there is danger.
"No, not hiding..."
The young stargazer shook his head with a slightly strange expression.
"From the beginning, from beginning to end, nothing is hidden... It's just that we can't see clearly... Even if we see it, we can't give a specific description, and it may even be different from others. What people see will be different..."
Annan thought of the so-called destiny he had seen in the academy.
What he saw was a glorious picture of destiny, but the professors at the college who were traveling with him at that time saw a completely different chessboard of destiny.
It is estimated that the stargazing behavior at the observatory is not simply observing the starry sky in the other world. It may be some deeper behavior that can only be understood after actually participating and seeing it.
People who have never seen it or felt it will not understand it. No matter how you explain it, it is useless, and the language is too pale.
"Okay, I probably understand how dangerous the behaviors you stargazers at the observatory usually carry out are, but having said that, if I pass your test and then go to your headquarters to observe the stars, it means that I may Something happened?"
"Yes, exactly."
Monk nodded solemnly.
On this point, even if he didn't remind him, the inspector from the observatory who should come would make it clear without reservation.
The Observatory never intended to deceive or conceal anything, they just wanted to face the truth.
"Why does your observatory want me to see things that I can't see? Just because I have a relationship with the Witch of Chaos?"
Although there was no such reservation for coming today, now that it had come to this point, Annan took the opportunity to express some questions that had not been clarified before.
"You can say that...after all, you are the witch of chaos who has been searching in this world for thousands of years before she finally found the right person..."
Munch's attitude is very obvious, he is avoiding a certain keyword.
"You were chosen by the Witch of Chaos, so there must be something special about you. Even if you rejected the Witch of Chaos..."
"I really went to the observatory for stargazing, what would happen?" Annan continued to ask.
"I'm not sure about this..."
Munch is not avoiding the question, but he really does not know or understand it.
"Maybe nothing will happen, maybe you won't see anything, maybe something very serious will happen, maybe we will be self-defeating, but even so, we still have to try..."
"Can't you make it clearer? For example, the real purpose and reason for stargazing at your observatory."
"You seem to have misunderstood..."
Munch's originally strange expression became more and more distorted.
He wanted to control himself, but when he remembered certain things, he couldn't help but reveal his true emotions.
"The purpose of the observatory is to observe stars. The reason why the observatory observes stars is because we see them... Please don't think too much about it. The existence of our observatory organization is actually very simple..."
Munch wiped his face vigorously.
He was still too young, and it was difficult for him to remember those scenes.
"Annan, as long as you see it, you will understand... The Observatory is not anyone's enemy, and we do not have any conspiracy. We just want to see and see the truth clearly, and... in After seeing it clearly, what can we do..."
Annan felt that if all stargazers were so eccentric, no wonder they would split into a neurotic cult due to accidents.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, then, if something goes wrong with the observatory's headquarters and everything is destroyed, what will we do then?"
"If the worst happens, then the fire left by the observatory will be left outside, just like me, working hard to rebuild the observatory..."
"Doesn't that mean that if something really happens, my stargazing will have to be postponed until you build a new observatory?" Annan felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
"That's right..."
The young stargazer nodded bitterly.
Although everything said now is just speculation, it cannot be denied that this may happen.
"Stargazing at the observatory is not simple. If we want to carry out our ideal stargazing, we must use the large astronomical telescope at the headquarters. If the worst happens, then your stargazing will be very good. It may be postponed to more than ten years or so..."
