"As for the existence of our Security Bureau, I believe you have already learned about it from Mr. Luo. I am here this time to achieve cooperation with you."
Captain Zheng got straight to the point and handed over a dark blue business card.
Xu Shuo took it over and looked at it.
The business card is not paper. There is no other annotation on the front, only the full name of the Insurance Bureau and three phone numbers, and there is a magnetic strip on the back.
It seems that besides introducing people, this card has other functions.
Xu Shuo wanted to put the card back on the table, but Captain Zheng held down his hand before he was about to withdraw it. The two looked up at each other, and the latter smiled politely.
Captain Zheng said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. Mr. Luo once expressed your wishes to us."
Xu Shuo still withdrew his hand and looked at him without saying anything.
At this time, the waiter came to deliver coffee.
The dark blue business card was taken back by Captain Zheng. After the waiter left, he looked at Xu Shuo and continued:
"Polution sources have appeared several times in Yangcheng. As players, you and Mr. Luo are definitely more familiar with this kind of thing than us who are even half-baked about what the abyss is."
Xu Shuo looked at him calmly.
Captain Zheng didn't care about his attitude and said with a smile: "So, as the captain of the Yangcheng branch, I will definitely have many opportunities to deal with you in the future."
Xu Shuo also smiled when he heard this: "You should know that this is the reason why I came out to meet you this time."
"Yes, Mr. Xu must be a smart man."
Captain Zheng changed the topic as he spoke: "So you must also know that this is the first time that the government is facing this unknown mysterious power. Rather than fear, perhaps the idea of interest and research is greater."
Xu Shuo picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
Captain Zheng continued: "However, after the Yuhuaba incident and the Gangwan North MTR station incident, the officials have somewhat curbed this behavior."
"Have you done your own research?" Xu Shuo suddenly asked.
"Yes, as early as the Yuhua Dam incident, the official research institute had already started studying these things." Captain Zheng's tone was heavy at this moment.
"How many people died?" Xu Shuo asked again.
"Everyone who came into contact died."
"Then another group of people came into contact this time?"
"..."
Captain Zheng didn't say anything, but the helpless expression on his face confirmed the matter.
Xu Shuo twitched his lips with unclear meaning.
He stared at the gentle ripples in the coffee cup and suddenly said: "Players, have you already studied it?"
Captain Zheng suddenly looked up at him, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Mr. Xu is indeed very smart."
"Because even after so many incidents, you still have no fear or apprehension about the existence of script space and unconventional ability users like players."
Xu Shuodan said: "You even try to continue to deal with me. This means that you may have the confidence to subdue players, and most of this confidence comes from practice."
After the words fell, the booth was quiet for a while.
Captain Zheng couldn't help but pick up the coffee and take a sip, then broke the silence: "Is it so bitter?"
“There is self-service sugar next to it.”
Looking at the sugar jar on the table, Captain Zheng opened the lid and added sugar and said:
"Some time ago, when the newly established Jiangzhou branch was investigating the city, it was discovered that a third-tier actress in a certain crew filming in the film and television city suddenly went crazy.
"At first, the crew and her management company kept it a secret, but later they probably found out that it couldn't be cured, so they wanted to find an opportunity to expose the matter and make their film a hot topic.
"At that time, a paparazzi got some information and wanted to find someone to seize it and sell it.
"It happened that the investigators sent by the Jiangzhou branch passed by the film and television city and discovered this incident. They felt something was wrong, so they suppressed it before the crew and paparazzi broke the news."
Captain Zheng finished speaking in one breath and took another sip of sugar-sweetened coffee. After tasting it, he probably felt it was still bitter, so he continued to add sugar to it.
After hearing this, Xu Shuo commented: "It's quite twisty."
"It's quite twisty."
Captain Zheng nodded in agreement and continued: "Because through the information given by Mr. Luo and others, people who are contaminated will lose their minds and show crazy behavior, extreme, irritable, and strong desire for destruction.
"The third-tier actress was quite consistent with this symptom, so the investigators reported it based on the principle of "I'd rather miss it than let it go." The Jiangzhou branch dispatched the same day and put the entire crew under control.
“Later, when we tried to communicate with the actress, we heard her reveal a lot of information about ‘script space’, ‘player’, ‘game’, ‘abyss’ and so on.
"In addition, this woman is from Shanghai. Her name is Zhao Sinuo. She is twenty-three years old. She started out as a child star but has never been popular.
"But after she went crazy, she always said that her name was 'An Lin', that she was a saint of the Holy See, and that she existed to destroy witches. We later speculated that this should be a game character she played."
Captain Zheng sighed after saying this, and then took another sip of coffee filled with sugar.
At the end, he smacked his lips and put down the coffee with some dissatisfaction. With his brows furrowed, his face looked quite majestic and solemn.
After Xu Shuo listened quietly, he put the coffee cup to his mouth and took a sip, lowering his eyebrows to hide his expression.
"It's so miserable."
"It's indeed quite miserable. Are you in danger of going crazy in your profession?" Captain Zheng asked curiously.
"Crisis always coexists with opportunity." Xu Shuo was noncommittal.
"Too."
Captain Zheng smiled and said: "As you said, our Yangcheng Branch should also be able to give you an opportunity - don't refuse it in a hurry. What I mean is that you can put your name in the Yangcheng Branch and do whatever you want.
How about announcing it?"
Xu Shuo frowned slightly and listened to the other party continue:
"Even if there is no incident that needs to be solved, we will give you a monthly salary of 500,000 yuan. After solving a "pollution source" incident, the reward will be more than 1 million yuan depending on the impact!"
Captain Zheng’s tone was persuasive: “And we can also give you the green light for your business!”
Xu Shuo raised his eyes and looked at him, his tone unclear: "It sounds really good, but there is no need for you to offer me such generous terms."
"It's convenient to talk to smart people!"
Captain Zheng didn't know whether he was feeling emotional or helpless. He sighed and said: "To be honest, because of the high tower in Yuhua Dam, the people above you attach great importance to you. Or in other words, they attach great importance to the person behind you codenamed "Judgement"
!”
When Xu Shuo heard this, he smiled with unknown meaning.
The smile is gentle and harmless.
Even though he was under official surveillance, he still chose to meet Themis in such a very exposed place, which was indeed a beneficial act.
Especially after the "line of defense" appears.
Because that tower full of miracles is not only a defense against the abyss, but also a shock to the humans in this world.
Just like it is now.
Xu Shuo raised a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to the person opposite: "The reward is very generous, I can accept it."
Captain Zheng looked at him steadily, took out the dark blue card again and handed it over.
"So, happy working together?"
“A pleasure to work with.”
…
"By the way, it's only in Yangcheng." Xu Shuo seemed to suddenly remember something, and paused to pick up the card.
"Yangcheng!" Captain Zheng thrust the card into his hand angrily.
