The first and second floors were a bit noisy, and there were inspectors in black uniforms walking in the corridors. One person and one cat did not go through the main entrance, but walked up the outer stairs to the third floor.
In contrast, the third floor is much quieter. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of hurried footsteps from below. There are more than a dozen offices with dark green wooden doors on both sides of the long and narrow corridor. There is a front desk facing the outside at the entrance of the stairs.
Metal railings blocked off the entire corridor, with a sign saying "No one allowed in".
Behind the front desk was a girl with light blond hair, her head lowered in thought, fiddling with the dip pen in her hand.
"Carlisle, have you fallen in love again?" Uncle Cat jumped onto the table and shouted to the girl behind him.
"Ah~~Uncle Cat!" The blond girl was startled by the sudden voice, and raised her head, revealing her fair face, with a few light freckles dotting her nose.
"Why are you back? Didn't you go on field duty for a month?" The girl asked in surprise. She stood up and saw the unpredictable man standing behind the desk: "Who is he?"
The girl is over 175. She is almost as tall as Mu Zhi wearing wedge heels. Her slender figure looks very neat when paired with the black uniform of the Inspection Office...
"New colleague!" Uncle Cat pointed at Unpredictable with his paw: "Nightmare, Unpredictable!"
"This is Carlisle Payton, the team's front office executive."
"New colleague! Hello!" Carlisle Payton turned around and came out from behind the desk and opened the door on the iron railing: "Come in quickly!"
"Hello!" responded with a smile.
"It's great to be so young!" Carlisle looked at Mo Zhi up and down, and complained to Uncle Cat: "Finally there are young male team members again."
"Isn't there Luo Qing?" Uncle Cat retorted.
"A man who is deeply in love doesn't count..." Carlisle curled his lips and said with his fingers: "Aside from Luo Qing, men still have a spiritual puppet, an uncle who turned into a cat, and a gangster!"
"Tch!" Uncle Cat was dissatisfied and sat on the table: "You haven't told me if you've lost your love yet? Why are you so dazed?"
"We broke up yesterday..." Carlisle was immediately discouraged after hearing this. After hesitating for a few seconds, he pursed his lips and said, "My ex-boyfriend always said that I was 'down-to-earth', so I dumped him in anger!"
"Huh?" Uncle Cat was puzzled.
It's unpredictable and a bit confusing. After much deliberation, I still can't figure out why the word "steadfast" is taboo.
Seeing the confused expressions of the man and the cat, Carlisle stretched out a finger and said seriously:
"If a woman is beautiful, many excellent words will be attached to her, such as generous, beautiful, and kind... Only ugly women will be praised as 'down-to-earth'. He is calling me ugly in disguise!"
Uh...that's logic!
My head feels unpredictably big.
He obviously has good looks and a good figure, at least a six-point score... Mo Zhi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to his "ex-boyfriend". This was an unreasonable disaster.
Carlisle seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and kept complaining to Uncle Cat: "I said it once and I couldn't bear it, but in the end, he always praised me for being practical, and he looked very serious when he said it... I can't bear it!"
"If I hadn't seen him graduate from college and already be the section chief of the city's finance department, I would have..."
After chatting for a minute, Carlisle suddenly remembered something and said quickly when he saw a man and a cat in front of him with dull faces.
"Sorry! Sorry! I got so angry when I said it that I didn't stop the car... You want to find the captain, right? She's in the office!"
"Yeah!" Uncle Cat breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his claws to make unpredictable moves.
Just after taking two steps, Uncle Cat turned around and said solemnly to Carlisle: "I have to use my abilities these days. The parade collapsed too quickly. It always feels a little too smooth..."
"Okay!" Carlisle said with the same solemnity as the smile on his face disappeared.
As soon as he took a few steps, Mo Zhi felt faint spiritual fluctuations coming from behind him. He turned his head to look at Carlisle and found that it was the source.
"Although Carlisle is a back-office administrator, he is also a contractor. His ability is to sense danger..." Uncle Cat noticed the unpredictable movement of turning around and explained.
Sensing danger? Unpredictable and slightly surprised.
Isn’t that equivalent to a humanoid radar?!
As the front desk of the Punisher, this ability is extremely applicable...
The captain's office is at the end of the corridor. In the innermost room, there is a metal label in the middle of the same dark green painted door panel with the words "Captain's Office" written on it.
Unexpectedly knocked on the door, and Vera Alexandra's familiar voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Entering the door, the room is decorated in a typical office, with a huge solid wood desk, sofa seats, bookcases... Captain Vera is playing with a heavy machine gun on the table!
On the sturdy four-corner bracket are thick gun barrels, six in total, forming a circle. Behind the barrel is a metal structure similar to a backpack strap, which looks like it can be carried on the chest. There are dense bullets on the long bullet chain, which extends all the way.
into a huge metal ammunition box.
The entire machine gun exudes a violent and solid beauty. There is no trigger, only a rocking handle... It looks like the "Gatling" in my impression.
Just the gun body and ammunition box can be carried on your back!
Carrying it on my body... I felt a numbness in my scalp. This thing plus the ammunition box must weigh several hundred kilograms. This is just a conservative estimate.
"How beautiful!" Captain Vera patted the machine gun with satisfaction: "This is a custom-made Vulcan with two thousand rings, and it cost me a year's salary!"
The name of the machine gun is "Vulcan"...
"Scary!" Uncle Cat muttered: "I brought you people, you guys can talk!"
After saying that, Uncle Cat turned around and left the office.
"Have you thought about it?!" Vera picked up the water glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, and asked Mo Zhi with a smile.
Mo Cai swallowed and said, "Seeing this machine gun makes me regret joining the Punisher."
"Haha..." Captain Vera laughed heartily: "In peacetime, even the Punisher will not often break out in large-scale battles!"
"On the contrary, normal work is basically safe and not as dangerous as you think."
Okay...you have the final say! Mozhi nodded, saw Captain Vera's signal, and sat on the chair in front of the desk.
"You must be wondering why I am interested in you?" Vera smiled.
"Yeah!" Mo Zhi said, "I'm also confused about this question."
"First, it's because of your contract ability..." Captain Vera pondered for a moment, and answered the question in a calm tone: "In peacetime, the main job of the Punisher is to investigate and lurk, and to maintain the stability of the Ironborn society. You
The ability is very useful.”
"As we talked in the car last night, people are always used to hiding their true thoughts. If someone in our team can detect the target's voice, it will be of great help to the work."
Seeing Mu Zhi's calm face listening to her story, Captain Vera lit a cigarette and said in an unusually solemn tone: "And the second reason made me determined to absorb you into the Punisher team...
"
"It's because of the calm expression on your face now!"
"Oh?" Mo Zhi raised his head and looked at Vera.
"Contractors have special powers. This powerful power given by the Iron God often makes many people lose their psychological balance and think that they are superior to others. This mentality accumulates over time and eventually leads to tragedy." Vera looked at it.
Unpredictable eyes, smiled and said:
"Of all the awakened events I have experienced since I joined the Punisher, you are the only one who still has a calm mind after awakening his powers... I remember that night a few days ago, there was almost no fluctuation on your face, as if you were powerful
Your contract ability doesn’t make you happy and make you feel special!”
"My interpretation of this is..."
"You are a person who knows how to respect power. Only if you know how to respect power, you will not abuse it. Only if you understand the value of power, can you understand the risks it brings!"
Suddenly I felt a little fever on my face...
I had just traveled through time at that time, and I was still thinking about how to return to Earth. I didn’t think much about the contract ability at that time, and I was very tired after staying up all night...
How can you still have the energy to be happy?
I didn’t expect Captain Vera to be rated so highly!
However, Vera Alexandra's words still gave Mu Zhi a sense of mission, and made his mind feel a little heavier.
"Okay, that's what I have to say!" Captain Vera sat up straight again: "Go to room 308, which is the office of the logistics manager, Mrs. Catherine, to collect your corresponding items."
After saying that, Captain Vera pushed over a piece of paper: "Sign your name and give it to Mrs. Catherine. She will arrange the rest."
Mozhuang looked down and saw an application form for the Punisher Squad of the Inspectorate. Vera Alexandra's name had been signed in the final approver column.
"Captain, when will you come to work? Tomorrow?" Mo Zhi asked Vera while filling in the personal information above.
"It's the same as the work system of the federal government. It's just that the field staff take turns to work night shifts, including the three-day shift at the end of ten days. Mrs. Catherine will update the duty list for each tenth day." Vera said casually: "As for Uncle Cat, let's let him do it again.
Let him stay with you for a few days. After all, you are a newcomer, and..."
"Let Uncle Cat be responsible for the training of the new punisher, he is very experienced!"
"Training?" Mo Zhi asked.
"Well..." Vera said with a smile: "Some situations in the contractor world, our main work content... you have a lot to learn!"
"Okay." Mozhi signed his name at the end. Seeing Captain Vera continue to play with the "Vulcan", he casually asked: "Captain, do you have to carry such a heavy gun on your body?"
"Of course..." Vera waved her hand to Mo Zhi: "Uncle Cat will tell you in detail."
Unexpectedly nodded, took the application form and exited the office.
Office 308 was diagonally opposite the captain's office. Mo Zhi walked to the same green-painted wooden door, checked that it was marked "Logistics Office", and knocked gently.
"Please come in!" A middle-aged female voice came from inside, majestic and magnetic.
Unexpectedly opened the door and saw that the interior layout was almost the same as that of Vera's office, except that there was a sealed iron door on the wall, which faintly exuded spiritual fluctuations.
